"He spends more time walking than solving problems."
"King Kong Temple has kneeled at his feet, and his power is increasing every day."
"I'm afraid it won't be long before Tianfengmen won't be able to give him the conditions he wants."
"After all, phoenix blood at the origin blood level is a unique treasure."
Feng Xixi, the saint of Tianfeng Sect and one of the envoys visiting the Shenwu Dynasty this time, said anxiously.
Thanks to the inheritance of the saints of the past generations and the cultivation of the Tianfeng Sect, the phoenix blood in Feng Xixi's body has reached the highest peak in the past, which is the deep purple level.
But to achieve a breakthrough in artificial blood, every step forward was extremely difficult, and her limit in this life would stop there.
Now that hope is in front of her, instead of Zhang Zhiyan's uncertain future, she hopes to hold the treasure within reach in her hands and fulfill Tianfeng Sect's long-cherished wish for thousands of years.
"Xi'er, how come your aunt doesn't know what you said?"
The representative of the envoy, the elder of Tianfeng Sect [Feng Yanyan] smiled bitterly.
"If possible, aunt doesn't want to delay."
"But Chu Zhongwu is the most terrifying person in the world. I don't know how many heroes have fallen into his hands."
"Each of the emperors of the Xiao family were tycoons with superb skills, but they were directly defeated by him."
"The Vajra Temple is known as the second Buddhist temple, but it was so vulnerable even if it fell into his hands."
"Chu Zhongwu is a legend, even a mythical figure."
"If Tianfeng Sect comes into contact with him hastily, wouldn't it be like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth and being slaughtered by others!"
"Even the Pavilion Master, ahem, my aunt said that we must be fully prepared before we can start negotiations with him."
Feng Yanyan almost let it slip and immediately changed her words:
"This Zhiyan is a God-given opportunity. No matter how much time it takes, we must get this chip."
"But Master Zhang is more inclined to Tianyin Sect, and he has a deep grudge with Daxia."
"In the past, the Shence Army massacred the city in Luozhou, and Master Zhang was the first to initiate it."
Feng Xixi said hesitantly.
"That's why the sect master sent me to come with you."
"This way Tianfeng Sect will have a real trump card."
Speaking of this, Feng Yanyan remembered what her sister said in the letter, and looked at her niece with peace of mind, showing an inexplicable smile.
"The trump card?"
Just when Feng Xixi was about to ask what the trump card was, the guards from Tianfeng Sect came to report urgently:
"Master Feng, Master Saint, and General Dou are here to visit."
"What is he doing here?" Feng Yanyan said in surprise.
…
Sifang Pavilion, lobby
Accompanied by officials from the Ministry of Rites, General Dou visited Sifangguan, where he stayed at Tianfengmen for the first time.
The Sifang Pavilion was a place specially built by the imperial court. It was also a gathering place for foreign envoys and guests to facilitate the imperial court's management.
This is not only to receive the envoys, so that they can enjoy the preferential treatment of the imperial court and feel the warmth of the Celestial Empire, but also to facilitate supervision to prevent foreign envoys from causing trouble.
Any foreign envoy, whether it is Daxia or overseas [Yueying], [Yunlong] or the more distant [Qingxiao], [Snowy Land] and other countries, as long as they come to Shenwu Kingdom, they must live in the [Sifang Pavilion]
.
Foreign envoys are not allowed to meet with the leaders of the various forces without approval, and violators will be expelled from the country.
The same is true for the visiting envoys from Tianfengmen, there are no exceptional privileges.
After all, this Shenwu Dynasty is not a public toilet. You can come and leave whenever you want.
If there is no way to control the dynamics of martial arts masters to a certain extent, the imperial court's ability to control local areas will plummet to a very dangerous level.
The Tianfeng Sect was not doing anything, so it naturally had to go through the formal procedures, which wasted a lot of time.
"I've taken the liberty of visiting you, please don't take offense to [Fairy Yan]."
"In the past, I met Fairy Lingwei in Shangjing. She had the same beautiful face. It turns out that all the women from Tianfeng Sect are stunningly beautiful in the world, and they will captivate the whole country."
"Only now will I know why the young heroes in the world are so sleepy and tossing and turning."
As soon as Chu Qianqiu sat down in the hall, he looked at Feng Yanyan, the elder of Tianfeng Sect, with admiration.
Of course, he only glanced at it and then took it back to prevent the other party from being unhappy.
After all, he is just an old man now, not a handsome and unrestrained genius.
"The general has arrived, and I am overjoyed."
"This time Tianfeng Sect is staying in Jiahe City to recruit disciples. If there is any offence, I would like to ask General Haihan to handle it."
"A few pills are not respectful."
As soon as Feng Yanyan finished speaking, the maids who had been waiting for orders brought out some gifts to give to General Dou.
There are many types of elixirs, including the God-Enriching Pill, the God-Building Pill, etc. They are all elixirs that are also helpful to martial arts masters.
They had already given gifts once when they first arrived in Jiahe City, and now they gave them again.
It can be seen that General Dou's reputation for greed for money has spread far and wide, and he is on the level of a goose plucking its hair.
If he hadn't had this character and wanted to come over and get a piece of the pie when he saw Chu Qianqiu occupying the court's resources, maybe things wouldn't have come to this point.
"Hey, Fairy Yan is too polite."
"I have always been an honest official, never greedy, not possessive, and never seeking personal gain."
"Now it is a matter of diplomatic relations between the two countries, and we cannot take away any needle or thread."
Chu Qianqiu smiled and said.
After all, he is looking for trouble. He can't accept the gift first and then start trouble. That won't look good.
"Is the General dissatisfied with these gifts?"
"Here comes someone."
Feng Yanyan had a vague feeling in her heart.
If a corrupt official suddenly advertises himself as an honest official, there are only two possibilities.
The first possibility is that he has to pay more. He is not satisfied with the price and wants to sell his conscience for a higher price.
The second possibility is that it is useless to add more money. He is already ready to jump back and take a bite.
So Feng Yanyan immediately upped the ante and gave more gifts.
However, Chu Qianqiu interrupted her order.
"Hey, Fairy Yan, you don't have to be polite."
"I really have an important visit here, so I can't accept the gift."
"Recently, the Six Sects have been tracking down the remnants of Tianji Pavilion and discovered a shocking secret."
After Feng Yanyan heard this sentence, her body trembled slightly, and she forced a smile on her face:
"This Tianji Pavilion has done a lot of evil, and I don't know what the secret is. Let General Dou investigate it personally."
"They took a fancy to the [Phoenix Blood] in Lord Zhongwu's hands and prepared to hunt Chu Zhongwu and seize the [Phoenix Blood]."
"What?"
"That's absolutely not the case!"
Feng Yanyan immediately retorted.
"So I came here to ask Tianfeng Sect to cooperate with the investigation and give an explanation to the court."
