Compared to his sister's shock, Shang Liuyu was much calmer. After all, he had seen the opponent's power in the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons and was already mentally prepared.
But her emotion now is more of shyness, thinking why Azu keeps holding her in his arms. Now everyone from the Hai Clan is kneeling below. I think this scene will spread throughout the sea in a few days.
clan...
Of course, apart from being shy, she was also a little bit happy in her heart. What girl wouldn't dream, thinking that the person she loves falls from the sky like a god. The current situation...
As soon as this thought arose, she hurriedly dismissed it, and her face turned bright red for a moment. We are siblings, what are we thinking about?
At this time, Zu An's voice was like an ethereal divine decree that resounded in the hearts of every sea clan: "Before, I only had the patience to explain a few words to you just for the sake of the queen and sisters Shang Liuyu, but in the end you really took it seriously.
Am I afraid of you?"
"Don't dare, don't dare!" The ministers of the Sea Clan who had raised objections before were trembling and kowtowed on the ground to beg for mercy.
The coercion, as if the whole world's will was looking down on them, made everyone unable to resist, and every muscle in their body was trembling uncontrollably.
They regretted it now. If they had known you were so awesome before, we would still have objected to it. Who cares about longevity?
"Begging for mercy? Then it depends on whether the queen is willing to forgive you." Zu An looked at Shang Hongyu aside, with a smile on his face.
Shang Hongyu's face really turned red. How could she not know that the other party was trying to help her establish her prestige? After all, the Dragon King was dead now. As a queen, she had always only had a reputation as a virtuous one, but she lacked a bit of majesty. Even if she had purged the demons a few days ago,
Let people see another side of her, but still not many people are afraid of her.
For example, just now, she took the initiative to speak for Zu An, but the ministers ignored her words at all.
She took a deep breath and said, "The Regent is kind enough to help us, but we are not grateful. Instead, we are making bad remarks. The Regent has a lot of people, but we can't just let this matter go by."
"Whoever objected just now will be demoted three levels and fined three years' salary!"
I just took this good opportunity to clean out some of the guys who relied on their elders, and then replaced them with my own confidants.
Of course, she can't be too cruel, otherwise it will be incompatible with her reputation as a virtuous person and she will easily lose people's hearts.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, the Regent!" The ministers kowtowed one after another. They were really grateful at this time. They originally thought that they would follow in the footsteps of the unlucky man just now, but they didn't expect to save their lives. The Queen was indeed a virtuous queen.
In an instant, Shang Hongyu's image in everyone's minds became much taller.
Zu An nodded slightly, and then said: "For the queen's sake, I will tell you the truth you just wanted to know."
The many sea tribesmen kneeling below were stunned for a moment and didn't even dare to say so.
Sister Shang Hongyu was also a little confused, not knowing what he was planning to do.
"The real situation is that Ao Yong wanted to seek power and usurp the throne. He and a group of close masters set up a demon-suppressing array in the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons hall and launched a rebellion. In addition, there were many demons, and they were all earthly demons.
With peak immortal strength, many ancient powerful monsters awakened in the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons, and the Dragon King was killed. In the end, I could only save Shang Liuyu."
"Originally, I just thought that the Hai Clan had suffered this change and needed more recuperation. I didn't want you to fall into civil strife again, so I didn't mention it. I didn't expect that the people of Ao Yong's faction would not die. If this is the case, then we will completely tell the truth
Speak out to avoid another misfortune to the Hai Clan in the future."
Today he used his absolute power to convince everyone, but he was worried about what hidden dangers he would leave for Shang Hongyu after he left, so he patiently explained.
The public has a curiosity-seeking mentality, and they will feel that there is a conspiracy behind everything, not to mention that this incident at the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons is indeed full of doubts.
But the public is often ignorant. As long as you give them a conspiracy they believe in and a "villain", they will be satisfied and have a sense of superiority just as I expected. Few people will think about deeper things.
As expected, everyone suddenly realized what he said and glared at Ao Yong and his officials one by one.
In fact, many people in the Hai Clan were aware of Ao Yong's thoughts, and they immediately believed him when they heard such words.
Those under Ao Yong's command were trembling. They wanted to escape, but under this strong pressure, they could not move at all.
At this time, Shang Hongyu also reacted, with a cold look on his face: "Come here, capture Ao Yong's remnants and interrogate them carefully!"
"Yes!" Soon one of her trusted guards came forward and locked up Ao Yong's remaining members.
Shang Hongyu then bowed to Zu An: "Thank you very much for your help this time, the regent. Now that it's getting late, why don't you ask the regent to move to the Dragon Palace to take a rest."
Zu An was worried about the situation in the capital, but knew that after such a long time, the dust had probably settled.
On the contrary, the Hai Clan had to explain many things to Shang Hongyu, and she also had to support her to stabilize the situation on the Hai Clan's side.
At the same time, Shang Liuyu was also injured and needed treatment, so he nodded in agreement.
After Shang Hongyu welcomed Zu An to the Dragon Palace, all the sea ministers in the scene breathed a sigh of relief.
"We really don't know what is good and what is good. The regent obviously helped us, the Sea Clan, get rid of those horrible monsters, but we treated him like this. We really deserve to die."
"Fortunately, the queen and the regent have a good relationship, otherwise there would be a river of blood today."
"Not only the queen, but also the queen's sister has an extraordinary relationship with him. If they hadn't saved the situation, we, the Sea Clan, would have been doomed this time."
…
At first, many people were filled with jealousy and dissatisfaction when they saw how close Zu An and Shang Liuyu were, but now they all wish they had a better relationship.
??????55.??????
When everyone's strength is not much different, jealousy is most likely to arise. But once the gap widens like a chasm, this jealousy will disappear and become admiration and admiration.
Soon what happened here spread throughout the Dragon Palace, and spread to all the races in the sea at an extremely fast speed.
Many wealthy families are discussing secretly:
"Now that the Dragon King is dead, and so many elders have died, Prince Yong's lineage will also be purged. Our Hai Clan's vitality has been greatly damaged. If any foreign enemies invade, the situation may not be good."
"Yes, he is the regent of both the human race and the demon race. If the human race and the demon race have an idea against us, he will definitely be on our side."
"It's actually easy to solve this problem."
"Oh, brother, what do you think?"
"I heard that the regent is a bit of a playboy, and our queen has always been famous for her beauty. If the two of them can be together, then the regent will be one of our own from now on, and we won't have to be afraid of humans and monsters."
"The Dragon King has just died. I'm afraid this is not good, right?"
"What's wrong? After the old demon king of the demon clan died, didn't the little demon queen get together with the regent? The former crown princess from the human race and now the queen seems to have a close relationship with the regent -
Sorry, our Sea Clan has naturally fallen behind. The Queen should make sacrifices for the foundation of our Sea Clan, not to mention that I think she seems to have a good relationship with the Regent."
"Yes, our Sea Clan has another advantage over the Human Clan and the Demon Clan, that is, the Queen also has a younger sister. Together, their sisters are much more attractive than the Little Demon Queen and the Human Clan's Queen."
…
Similar conversations are taking place in all major families, and some people are even thinking of sending someone to persuade the Mermaid Queen to take the initiative.
The main reason is that the strength shown by Zu An is so amazing. Whichever camp such a being stands in, the balance of victory will be tilted towards which camp.
The human race and the demon race have taken the lead in this regard, and they, the sea race, have to guard against it.
And all that is needed is one woman, not to mention the two are talented and beautiful, so it is not an insult to the queen.
As for the Dragon King who just died, no one cares.
Well, that's not right. Back then, I don't know how many ministers' wives and concubines were favored by the Dragon King, but everyone dared to be angry and dare not say anything. Now, all this can be regarded as the Dragon King's punishment.
Naturally, they did not dare to be disrespectful to the queen, but when they encouraged the queen to seduce the regent, they felt an uncontrollable sense of revenge.
Let's talk about Zu An's return to the Dragon Palace. Naturally, with his current status, he cannot live in the previous palace. Instead, Shang Hongyu arranged a particularly luxurious palace for him to live in.
This is a place specially prepared by the Sea Clan for distinguished guests of the old Demon Emperor and Human Emperor levels. It has been used twice over the years, but I didn’t expect it to be used again now.
Zu An left Shang Liuyu in the palace, concentrating on healing her injuries and helping her refine the inheritance of the mermaid ancestor.
He is leaving soon, and I hope he can help as much as possible before leaving.
"How do you feel now?" Zu An asked with concern after practicing for a while.
At this time, Shang Liuyuxiang was dripping with sweat, his whole body was steaming with heat, and his cold face was flushed. He looked like a delicate apple, making people want to take a bite.
"Much better. With your help, I'm afraid I can recover from my injury a month earlier." Shang Liuyu twisted his body, feeling sticky and uncomfortable.
"That's good." Zu An breathed a sigh of relief, "After your injury recovers, you can concentrate on retreat and digest and absorb the inheritance of the mermaid ancestor."
Shang Liuyu hummed, then looked at him with a pair of big eyes: "You are still a bit handsome today."
"Is he just a little handsome?" Zu An was immediately dissatisfied.
"Because you will always be the little brother in my heart." Shang Liuyu pursed his lips and smiled.
"I'm not young!" Zu An subconsciously retorted. As soon as he said this, both of them were stunned.
A layer of red clouds floated up from Shang Liuyu's neck, and she stood up uncomfortably: "I've sweated a lot, so I'll go next door to take a bath first."
Zu An was a little hesitant: "How about I send you back to your own palace. It's just a matter of healing your wounds before. If you bathe in my place, I'm afraid it will be a bad reputation for you."
Shang Liuyu rolled his eyes: "You have the nerve to say that. You held me in your arms for so long in front of thousands of sea people. My reputation has been completely ruined by you."
Zu An: "..."
"I'm so sorry."
"What's there to be sorry for?" Shang Liuyu said calmly, "At that time, I was really exhausted and it was difficult to stand up straight. If you hadn't held me, I would have made a fool of myself. It's my turn to thank you."
"It's obviously you who protected my body, so it's my turn to thank you." A smile appeared on Zu An's face. Sister Shang is indeed Sister Shang, without the pretentiousness of ordinary little girls.
"Even if I wasn't there, nothing would have happened to you. You had obviously come back by then." Shang Liuyu felt a little itchy when talking about this. Although there was a reason for the incident, she felt embarrassed when she thought of the other person watching her performance.
To die.
"Are you two worshiping each other?" Suddenly a sweet smile came from the door.
A white figure slowly walked in from the outside. Today's Shang Hongyu was not wearing her usual attire, but a snow-white dress. The whole thing looked particularly elegant and beautiful.
In particular, the white belt around her waist was lightly cinched, making her waist look like a firm hand.
