Although there are hundreds of envoys from the Giant Spirit Imperial City, only six of them entered Dali Kyoto, and the remaining guards were all required to be stationed outside the city.
In Dali, Honglu Temple is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Honglu Temple is responsible for all exchanges between Dali and other powers.
Today, the minister of Dali Honglu Temple is still Song Qi, an old man in his sixties.
At this time, in the Concierge Courtyard of Honglu Temple, Bailishan stared at Song Qi with an unkind expression, "When can Your Majesty see me?"
Song Qi said with a smile: "Your Majesty still has important matters to deal with, and I can't spare the time to see you all at the moment."
"What's more important than us?" Bailishan said displeased.
In his opinion, when he came to Dali on behalf of His Majesty the Giant Spirit Emperor, Dali should welcome them with a big ceremony no matter what. But in the end, Dali not only failed to prepare for the ceremony, but also invited them to Honglu Temple.
Never mind.
If he hadn't met Song Qi today, he would have been alone in the Concierge Courtyard now.
But now, Emperor Li hadn't seen them yet, which made him feel even more uncomfortable.
In fact, he thought wrong. Dali was always polite to foreign guests, but Dali had never had a ceremony to welcome foreign guests. At most, officials from Honglu Temple went out of the city to greet them.
Of course, if the emperor came, Qin Wei might hold a grand ceremony to welcome him.
But a noble earl from the Giant Spirit Dynasty would not make Dali bow down.
Song Qi's expression did not change, and he still said in a calm tone: "Every move your Majesty makes is related to the development and future of Dali. Although you represent the Giant Spirit Dynasty, you are not the most important to us."
Baili Shan narrowed his eyes slightly, a fierce light flashed in his expression, but it was only for a moment, and he quickly narrowed his eyes.
No matter how dissatisfied or angry he is, this is still Dali Kyoto, not their giant spirit dynasty.
Although he didn't think Dali dared to touch them, but what if it happened?
If this arrogant Dali Imperial City were to challenge the majesty of the Giant Spirit Dynasty, wouldn't his life be in vain?
Of course, this is just a fear in his heart. On the surface, he still maintains the arrogance from the Djinn Dynasty.
"I need to see His Majesty Li Huang immediately. If the time is delayed, it will affect the friendship between our Giant Spirit Dynasty and Dali Dynasty!"
"You should understand that our Giant Spirit Dynasty will never give in on certain things!"
He said forcefully.
Song Qi's expression moved slightly, and there was a solemn look in his eyes, but he still said calmly: "I will inform Your Majesty about this matter as soon as possible!"
"Within three days, if you still have a clear attitude within three days, then there is no need to discuss anything!" Baili Shan said.
Song Qi nodded, bowed, and then left the reception hall.
After he left, Baili Shan's expression became extremely gloomy.
He felt that the attitude of the Dali Dynasty seemed worse than he expected.
It stands to reason that he is here on behalf of the Giant Spirit Dynasty, and Dali Dynasty should at least pay attention to it, but now Dali has always had a lukewarm attitude, which makes him feel bad.
For Dali, the Juling Dynasty actually didn't take it too seriously. In their eyes, Dali was just a younger brother supported by the Hundred Stars Dynasty.
Yes, that's what they think.
Compared to the Dali Dynasty, they still paid more attention to the Hundred Stars Dynasty.
But this time they sent people here, firstly to get to know the Dali Dynasty, and secondly to see Dali's true attitude.
If Dali is willing to accept their conditions and stay away from the Hundred Stars Dynasty, then they will maintain the status quo and continue to use sea trade to suppress the Hundred Stars Dynasty.
But if Dali is unwilling to accept their conditions, maybe they will choose to use force.
Expedition to the Yuluo Sea is not an easy task for the Giant Spirit Dynasty. After all, the Hundred Stars Dynasty is not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by others.
"Go and tell the people at Heiyuntai that the Dali Dynasty may not change!" Baili Shan whispered to the followers around him.
Three days was his final bottom line. If Dali didn't reply within three days, he would have no choice but to leave Dali.
…
Inside the Imperial Study Room in the Imperial City.
Song Qi was standing in front of Qin Wei.
"Three days!"
"Haha, this Baili Mountain actually has the patience to wait for three days!"
Qin Wei chuckled.
He thought that Bailishan would get angry and make a big fuss in Honglu Temple, but he didn't expect that Bailishan would be so calm and could endure it for three days.
"Your Majesty, what should we do next?" Song Qi asked.
Qin Wei handed him the document in his hand and said with a smile: "This is the Star Emperor's personal letter. Haha, he is already anxious!"
The Juling Dynasty sent an envoy to Dali, and the one who was most anxious was not Dali, nor the Juling Dynasty, but the Hundred Stars Dynasty.
Just two days after Baili Shan arrived in Dali Kyoto, a personal letter from the Star Emperor arrived.
Song Qi opened the letter and took a look.
"His Majesty the Star King actually gave so many benefits?"
After reading it, he couldn't help but be surprised.
Qin Wei smiled and said: "If we delay it for a few more days, the benefits he will give may be even greater!"
Song Qi's eyes lit up, but the benefits given by Star King now have extraordinary significance to Dali.
Those resources are scarce resources in Dali.
When Qin Wei saw him like this, he knew what he was thinking.
"We are allies with the Hundred Stars Dynasty, so it's better not to do this kind of thing of raising prices on the ground!"
Allies are meant for betrayal, but betrayal comes with a price.
Currently, Dali's best ally is the Hundred Stars Dynasty. The Hundred Stars Dynasty can not only help Dali complete the upgrade of his cultivation industry, but also act as a shield for Dali.
Although Dali has been very high-profile in doing things recently, in fact most people and forces have focused this high-profile on the Hundred Stars Dynasty.
Especially when facing the Giant Spirit Dynasty, the Hundred Stars Dynasty is Dali's best shield.
As for leaning towards the Giant Spirit Dynasty, Qin Wei has not thought about it. After all, the Giant Spirit Dynasty is the real thick thigh. If he can hug this thigh, it will naturally be of many benefits to Dali.
It's a pity that the Giant Spirit Dynasty looks down on Dali. Even if Dali defected to the Giant Spirit Dynasty, he would only be vassalized.
If there is unequal strength, there will be unequal status, and there will be no basis for equal exchanges between the two sides.
If the Hundred Stars Dynasty had not faced pressure from the Giant Spirit Dynasty, they might not have taken a liking to Dali.
And now Dali and the Hundred Stars Dynasty are on equal footing because the Hundred Stars Dynasty needs Dali as an ally to fight against the Giant Spirit Dynasty.
At present, Qin Wei does not want to break this equality. He hopes to tie the Hundred Stars Dynasty to the warship of the Sky Alliance.
"Leave them alone and ignore them!" Qin Wei finished speaking and wrote a letter.
"Send this letter to Star King!"
"Here!" Song Qi responded.
In the letter, Qin Wei rejected the benefits offered by the Star Emperor and stated that Dali would not betray the Hundred Stars Dynasty and would always support the Hundred Stars Dynasty.
At the same time, Qin Weiyou praised the friendship between Dali and the Baixing Dynasty, calling it a country of brothers.
The sincerity of the words and the richness of emotion are truly touching.
Although Qin Wei supported the Hundred Stars Dynasty out of interests, this did not prevent him from sending a favor to the Hundred Stars Dynasty.
…
Just when Qin Wei was dealing with the affairs of the Hundred Stars Dynasty and the Giant Spirit Dynasty, the war in the spiritual sea finally began.
Outside Qixia Island.
Ye Xiangzhen stood on the bow of the boat and looked at the island.
The northeast sides of Qixia Island are cliffs, making it impossible to land. The west side is a gentle beach, and only the south side has the conditions to dock warships.
However, Yuehai Island has built many city walls on the south side and placed many crossbows.
Obviously, they spent a lot of thought on Qixia Island.
"Are you all ready?"
Ye Xiangzhen asked the generals behind him.
"General, everything is ready, we are ready to go to war at any time!" the generals said.
Ye Xiangzhen did not immediately order an attack, but turned around and looked at the generals with solemn eyes.
"Do you know what this battle means to us?"
The generals were slightly startled.
Ye Xiangzhen did not wait for their answer and continued: "This battle is our first battle after joining Dali!"
He was originally the commander of the Shenwu Left Army of the Luofu Dynasty. Later, Wu Sheng joined Dali, and he was restricted by Wu Sheng to the Shenwu Central Army.
After Dali replaced the Luofu Dynasty, he naturally joined Dali.
The Dali Beihai Navy was expanded on the basis of the Shenwu Left Army.
At present, most of the generals of the Beihai Navy are basically generals of the Shenwu Left Army.
The expansion of Beihai Navy took almost a year, and they have already joined Dali for a year.
This is their first time playing on behalf of Dali.
After all, they are all surrendered generals. Although no one in Dali cares about their status now, they themselves cannot help but care.
The generals' expressions became solemn after Ye Xiangzhen's reminder.
"This is our first battle and also our most important battle!"
"Not only do we want to win this battle, we also want to win with glory!"
"Do you understand?"
Ye Xiangzhen asked in a deep voice.
"Understood!" all the generals responded in unison.
Ye Xiangzhen nodded and said: "The enemy has 20,000 troops and we have 30,000 troops. If the enemy is weak and we are strong, I will give you one hour."
His voice suddenly rose and he said: "In one hour, if you don't win, you will die!"
They need military exploits to prove their loyalty to Dali, and they need victory to completely integrate themselves into the Dali Dynasty. They need a vigorous battle to build their inner faith and belief.
"If you don't win, you die!"
"If you don't win, you die!"
Nearly a hundred generals shouted loudly.
They all understood Ye Xiangzhen's intentions. Although this order was a bit harsh and even absurd, they were still willing to carry it out.
"Go to war!"
Ye Xiangzhen shouted in a deep voice.
Following his order, all the generals left Ye Xiangzhen's warship and rushed to their own warship.
Dong dong dong~~~
War drums beat, trumpets sound, and flags flutter.
Hundreds of warships, large and small, swarmed out and attacked Qixia Island.
"Rush over, rush over for me!"
"Don't worry about what's in front of you, just rush over to me. Even if the ship is destroyed, you still have to rush over!"
On a warship, an officer stood on the bow of the ship, waving a long sword in his hand and roaring with murderous intent.
On Qixia Island.
Dongfang Xinghe looked at the swarming warships with a cold face. He clenched his fists and rage surged in his heart.
"Fire the arrow!"
With a roar, countless crossbow arrows rose into the sky and flew towards the swarming warships.
Bang bang bang~~
The crossbow arrows fell on the warship, and many of Dali's soldiers were directly penetrated on the sea.
But their forward posture still did not stop.
They only had one hour. If the time was long enough, they could use crossbow arrows to consume each other, but Ye Xiangzhen only gave them one hour.
At this time, Dali's generals had only one thought in their minds, and that was to rush forward.
This style of play is naturally not the best tactic in a landing battle, but it is the tactic that most tests the bravery of soldiers.
Just as the crossbow arrows were flying on the island, a warship crashed into the pier.
The violent impact directly shattered the bow of the ship, but the general standing on the bow rushed to the dock on flying planks.
The three-foot-high city wall behind the pier could not stop his pace at all, so he jumped onto the city wall with a flying leap.
"kill!"
The long sword is waved, and the sword energy is vertical and horizontal.
In just an instant, dozens of enemy soldiers died under his sword.
But the next moment, a concentrated energy hit him, and he flew down from the city wall like a sack and fell directly into the sea water.
However, this is not the end. As more and more warships approach the dock, a large number of soldiers have rushed onto the dock and climbed onto the city wall.
This reckless style of play also has advantages. As long as they rush fast enough, the enemy's crossbow arrows will not be able to cause continuous damage to them.
When they rushed to the dock, the landing battle turned into a siege battle.
Compared with landing warfare, siege warfare is undoubtedly easier.
It was only a city wall of about three feet, which could not stop Dali's soldiers at all. They did not need ladders or other siege equipment. They only needed a lever to scale the city wall.
Seeing Dali's soldiers rushing up the city wall like madmen, Dongfang Xinghe's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
"Are they all crazy?"
The entire Eastern Galaxy was stunned by the madness of the soldiers.
This was the first time he had seen this style of play.
The battle in the spiritual sea is a battle between islands. Each island has a small army. Even Moon Sea Island only has 50,000 naval officers.
Therefore, the battle between them is more inclined to fight against the innate.
Most of the time, soldiers under Xiantian play the role of waving flags and shouting, and cleaning up the battlefield after the battle.
It was really the first time for him to see Dali charge directly with ordinary soldiers.
At this time, the defenders on the island were stunned by this attack.
Even after just one contact, the defenders were defeated.
Dali's soldiers fell into madness, but the defenders became extremely cowardly, and many people just ignored them and fled towards the city.
Seeing this, Dongfang Xinghe wanted to kill a few deserters to vent his anger, but before he could take action, a figure wearing Taoist robes stood in front of him.
