The matter was still the same as before, he wanted to invite Xu Zhiqiong to the Divine Lord Hall.
This time he didn't come alone, he was accompanied by King Shu Hong Zhenji.
Hong Zhenji's current situation is very dangerous. As a pro-Xuan faction, he was responsible for the Xuan Kingdom's mission. Now that Xu Zhiqiong has killed the Tunu envoy, Hong Zhenji can't escape his involvement.
In the side hall of the front yard, seeing no one else around, Hong Zhenji shed tears in front of Xu Zhiqiong: "Marquis Yun, if you don't go to the Divine Lord's Hall today, I'm afraid you'll never see me again in the future."
Xu Zhiqiong said in astonishment: "So what if I can't see you? Why do I still miss you?"
Hong Zhenji cried: "Even if Marquis Yun doesn't care about the friendship with me, he can't ignore the friendship between the two countries. If Marquis Yun doesn't go, the bad blood cannot be eliminated, and the alliance between the two countries will be in vain!"
Xu Zhiqiong watched Hong Zhenji cry for a long time, then nodded slowly and agreed.
It's not that he pities Hong Zhenji, but this matter was discussed with Liang Yuyao last night.
Since Liang Yuyao was determined not to leave, it was only a matter of time before she met Hong Juncheng.
Speaking of this, Hong Juncheng was silent for a long time: "In your eyes, I am a foolish king, perhaps even more foolish than your ugly king Xuan Guo. You think that I sit back and watch the suffering of the people but remain indifferent. In fact, my heart is as sharp as a knife. Let me ask you.
Who can know?"
He was not the only one who gave it a try.
Jiying Hall is separated from Yushu Pavilion by three major halls. If Xu Zhiqiong encounters danger here, Qin Yan will not take care of it at all.
Xu Zhiqiong was even more puzzled: "Tu Nu and I have declared that we are incompatible. If Tu Nu enters Shenlin City and Shenjun is caught in the middle, wouldn't it be even more difficult? Now Tu Nu died in Xu's hands, and he fell to
The Lord God is worried."
Hong Juncheng said sincerely: "If Qiancheng wants to get rid of the suffering of Tunu, he must have strong help. I sincerely form an alliance with Xuanguo, but I don't know how sincere Xuanguo is?"
Xu Zhiqiong was even more surprised: "Tunu and I, Daxuan, are enemies, and they are coming with their crowds. How can we not take precautions?"
The Divine Machine Snare is a mechanism specifically designed to restrain the Judge. Under the control of the Divine Machine Snare, the Judge's teleportation technique will become ineffective.
Naturally, Xu Zhiqiong could not place his hope in Hong Juncheng's kindness. In times of crisis, the only people he could count on in the palace of the Divine Lord were the eunuchs.
Xu Zhiqiong had fought in the war, and he knew that the Shenzheng camp did not hold back. The reason why the battle was so unbearable was entirely because of the Shenzheng camp's incompetence.
Why is Hong Juncheng talking about these nonsense?
Xu Zhiqiong listened quietly.
Xu Zhiqiong was going to test Hong Juncheng's attitude first.
But these are not the point. The point is what Hong Juncheng’s purpose is!
Xu Zhiqiong did not believe that he really wanted to form an alliance with Xuan Guo. His series of strange actions made Xu Zhiqiong completely unable to judge his true intentions.
But since he was angry, why didn't he see any coercion?
Isn't Hong Juncheng a Canglong domineering cultivator? He should at least release some domineering energy.
Xu Zhiqiong was startled, did Hong Juncheng really have such an idea?
Qin Yan agreed and was about to lead King Shu out when he heard Hong Juncheng's instructions: "You will serve King Shu in Jiying Hall and instruct the other servants not to enter Yushu Pavilion without my instructions."
But if Hong Juncheng used a magical trap, Xu Zhiqiong's chance of escaping was less than 30%.
Hong Juncheng looked at Xu Zhiqiong, and his words just now seemed to anger him.
Hong Juncheng nodded: "This is what I think. If Tunu goes to war with Xuanguo, I, Qiancheng, will also send troops to the north. With the support, Tunu will not dare to do anything illegal again."
Only Xu Zhiqiong and Hong Juncheng were left in Yushu Pavilion.
Xu Zhiqiong didn't feel embarrassed at all, he even thought the atmosphere was very good.
The corners of Xu Zhiqiong's eyes twitched, tears brewing, and his voice trembled as he said: "Shenjun, please destroy Xu."
Hong Juncheng added some charcoal to the tea stove: "I am not a coward. There are more than 800,000 soldiers in the Qiancheng Kingdom. When I first took over the throne, I also wanted to beat Tunu hard and fight for a peaceful country and a peaceful people for Qiancheng.
But when it comes to fighting Tunu, I know how difficult it is. Thousands of people are weak over time, and the soldiers have no fighting power. A hundred thousand troops can hardly defeat eight thousand Tunu. This war sounds ridiculous, but I have personally experienced it.
Xuanguo and Qiancheng are separated by a huge sea. When Tu Nu sends troops, how can Xuanguo help each other?"
Hong Zhenji did not meet Xu Zhiqiong at the Enwei Main Hall, but had Xu Zhiqiong brought directly into Yushu Pavilion.
Xu Zhiqiong looked helpless: "Several of my subordinates just wanted to teach Tu Nu a lesson, but they couldn't help but beat him with three punches and two kicks, but they all died cleanly."
…
"Since you feel hot and want to find a place to cool down, Qin Yan will take King Shu to the Jiying Hall to cool down, and bring some ice to cool King Shu down."
As long as he dares to speak, Hong Juncheng may kill him immediately.
Hong Juncheng's eyes became sharper: "I intend to form an alliance with Xuan Guo. Do you know how difficult this move is for me?"
But Liang Yuyao cannot go to the Hall of the God King yet. Once Hong Juncheng turns against her, Liang Yuyao has no ability to escape, and Xu Zhiqiong also suspects that Hong Juncheng used some special techniques on her.
Hong Juncheng sighed: "If a sincere sentence can be exchanged for the alliance between the two countries, why should I worry about this?
If Yu Shan hadn't beaten him so hard today, if Shenzhengying had broken into Yuyao Palace today, the situation would have been different.
Xu was among the people at the time and accidentally suffered a disaster. His left foot was injured by a Tunu. Out of self-protection, he naturally led his subordinates to resist."
Xu Zhiqiong nodded, it was a perfect strategy of making friends at a distance and attacking at short distances.
Hong Juncheng picked up the tea mill, ground a piece of tea cake, and made Xu Zhiqiong a cup of tea.
Xu Zhiqiong said nothing, his expression as solemn as Hong Juncheng's.
"If it was just to inquire, why did you use weapons again?"
Xu Zhiqiong sighed: "Xu really doesn't want to go to war with Tunu, but Ke Dexun, the leader of Tunu, wants to take the heads of common people to pay homage to Bo Nie.
If Hong Juncheng doesn't use the magical trap, Xu Zhiqiong is absolutely sure that he can escape.
Qin Yan felt relieved because Li Quangen's people were still there.
Xu Zhiqiong followed Hong Zhenji and Qin Yan to the Shenjun Hall.
Hong Zhenji shook his head repeatedly and said, "It must be that my clothes are a little thicker."
Chang Decai warned Qin Yan that if her master is still there, the Taoist sect of Qiancheng will be there; if her master is gone, the Taoist sect will be gone too.
Xu Zhiqiong picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The refreshing aroma reverberated between his lips and cheeks.
Standing aside, Hong Zhenji was sweating profusely. He wanted to speak several times, but the words came to his lips, but he never dared to say them out. Such an atmosphere was too torturous for him.
Xu Zhiqiong said in surprise: "Xu, on the order of Princess Yuyao, went to Huang County to inquire about the movements of the Tunu envoys. How can you say that I left the city privately?"
If she doesn't want to live forever, Qin Yan must give it a go.
But the key is, is Xu Zhiqiong sure of escaping?
Whether you can escape or not depends on an item, the magical snare.
Xu Zhiqiong took the tea cup and made a flattered expression: "How can I bear this?"
Could this old guy have poisoned the tea?
It would be too low-level to use this method.
Qin Yan's face was expressionless, her heart suddenly in her throat.
Did I act like a villain for him? Does he really want to get rid of the Tunu messenger?
Even if he really had such an idea, given his status, he shouldn't say it so straightforwardly.
There is no harm in provoking him, Xu Zhiqiong is here to test him.
"The Lord God has worked so hard, but Xu really doesn't know." The corners of Xu Zhiqiong's mouth turned up, showing a grateful smile.
Liang Yuyao's sudden rise in cultivation made Xu Zhiqiong very worried, and he should try to avoid alone meetings between her and Hong Juncheng in the future.
After a moment of silence, Hong Juncheng suddenly showed a smile: "What you said hit the point. I didn't know how to deal with the envoy Tunu, but I didn't expect you to be the villain for me."
Hong Juncheng sighed and said: "Qiancheng has a vast territory, a vast land and abundant resources, and the people are diligent and thrifty. They should have enough food and clothing, and the country should be prosperous.
It is a pity that there are evil neighbors like Tunu in the north, and Qiancheng has been exploited by them for many years. Nine out of ten people who enter the country are plundered by them, so that the court is stretched thin and the people have no food to eat."
In desperation, Qin Yan left the Yushu Pavilion with Hong Zhenji and walked to the courtyard, where she saw two chamberlains sweeping the house.
Qin Yan's expression was as calm as water.
Hong Juncheng lowered his face and said, "Why do you want to inquire about the movements of the Tunu messenger?"
When they met twice, Xu Zhiqiong saluted and Hong Juncheng took a seat. The two sat facing each other for a long time without speaking.
If you want to use Xingxiu Corridor to trace things related to Hong Juncheng in the future, it will be very important for Xu Zhiqiong to remember his physical details.
He didn't know whether the divine king would use the divine trap, but he knew how to destroy the divine trap.
Hong Juncheng finally spoke: "Zhenji, do you feel that my library is a bit stuffy?"
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Xuan Guo is full of sincerity."
On the tea stove, the water in the pot is boiling.
Hong Juncheng raised his glass and said: "Marquis Yun, please."
Hong Juncheng said with a gloomy expression: "I have reminded Princess Yuyao that Tunu's envoy is coming. You should try to stay in the mansion and do not go out. Why didn't Marquis Yun listen to my advice and leave Shenlin City privately?"
"You resisted, but not one of the fifty people survived."
But what else can he do? Find a reason to stay?
Hong Zhenji sweated more and more, and many beads of sweat dripped on the ground.
Are you truly grateful?
The Lord Shen deliberately put on a show for Tu Nu and prevented Shen Zhengying from taking action easily. Shouldn't we be grateful?
Damn it!
Xu Zhiqiong didn't believe a word of these nonsense about hurting the people like a knife and making a show of force in front of Tunu.
You also saw it today. I sent Shenzheng Camp to Yuyao Palace just to make some publicity and give Tu Nu an explanation.
I don’t want your heroic Xuanguo soldiers to actually fight with the Shenzheng camp. The Shenzheng camp obeyed my order and did not dare to take action easily. However, you and other more than a hundred people severely beat you and became a laughing stock. Do you know the reason for this hardship?
?”
He kept staring at Hong Juncheng, carefully observing every detail of his appearance.
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Xuanguo's action may not necessarily be in Qiancheng. If Qiancheng is in trouble, Xuanguo will immediately send troops to attack Tunu. Tunu will be frightened and will inevitably retreat. Qiancheng's danger can be solved."
Hong Juncheng smiled and said: "This cup of tea is my sincerity. Qiancheng and Daxuan are very different in national power. If Daxuan is really willing to form an alliance with me, Qiancheng, I am willing to declare my vassalship to Emperor Changle of Daxuan, and I am willing to cooperate with Yun
Hou Ping stood up and sat down on equal footing."
Why does this tea smell so good?
There is energy floating around in the tea soup.
There seems to be something else besides qi machine.
Xu Zhiqiong immediately made a hanging bag to wrap the tea soup in his mouth.
After one cup of tea was drained, Hong Juncheng gave Xu Zhiqiong another cup.
When the tea cup was handed over, Xu Zhiqiong vaguely heard the tapping sound.
