Tian Feipeng raised his hand to Captain Deng and then returned to Du Ning's side.
"Don't dare, don't dare."
Colonel Deng returned the gift with an ugly face, feeling very ashamed.
Before, he said that even if Tian Feipeng took action, he would not be hurt by Tian Feipeng's ancient sword.
But I didn’t expect that if Tian Feipeng hadn’t been merciful, Colonel Deng would have lost even more ugly.
"I really didn't expect that even Captain Deng would lose so cleanly."
"It seems that all of us have underestimated the scholars of the Holy Forest Continent too much."
"This civil war should be more beneficial to our seven-island maritime country, but why can't it have any restrictive effect on them? This is too exaggerated."
The officials of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom no longer have the courage to accuse Deng Xiaowei because of the huge gap in strength between the two sides.
Captain Deng came to Emperor Guangde, bowed and said: "I have failed the expectations of the people, please punish me."
Emperor Guangde wanted to punish Captain Deng, but he couldn't do that. He had to force out a smile to comfort him: "My dear, you have tried your best. What crime is there? I forgive you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Colonel Deng breathed a sigh of relief and felt even more grateful to Emperor Guangde.
At this moment, the officials of the Ministry of War of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom began to doubt themselves.
The scholars in the Holy Forest Continent are so powerful, so do they still have hope of victory?
Many Ministry of War officials looked at Du Ning with a lot of fear. Now they have no right to underestimate the literary strength of scholars from the Holy Forest Continent.
"Who will come to the next game?" the Minister of War asked.
Everyone in the Ministry of War looked at each other, and for a moment they didn’t know who to send to the field.
And just when they were hesitating, a scholar had already arrived at the literary fighting venue.
"Fu Yue, please give me some advice!"
"This...this..."
The Secretary of the Ministry of War felt a headache. This was a challenge issued by them. Even if they gritted their teeth, they had to carry on, otherwise others would say that they did not even have the courage to compete with scholars from the Holy Forest Continent?
Soon after, the Ministry of War sent scholars to fight.
…………
In the third literary fight, Fu Yue won easily, as Du Ning expected.
In the fourth game, Du Ning sent Wei Zheming and won.
In the fifth game, Tao Da went on to fight and won again.
Du Ning took advantage of the victory and pursued it, and soon sent the sixth scholar to engage in a literary fight.
The officials of the Ministry of War had no choice but to bite the bullet and fight.
In the sixth literary battle, the Holy Forest Continent naturally won.
When the scholars of the Holy Forest Continent won six games in a row, the officials of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom felt their faces burning, and they simply wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
There is no doubt that the scholars from the Holy Forest Continent took the lead in winning the six literary battles with an absolute advantage.
The Seven Island Sea Kingdom has been defeated repeatedly and is unable to turn the tide.
Emperor Guangde was also gritting his teeth secretly. He had made mistakes for so many years in office, and he had even lost face in public, but today was the day that Emperor Guangde felt the most humiliated.
In a six-game ten-win literary battle with the scholars from the Holy Forest Continent, the scholars from the Holy Forest Continent actually won six games in a row, but they did not win even one.
This is a huge blow to everyone in the Seven Islands Sea Country.
"Your Majesty, we won."
Du Ning watched Emperor Guangde speak with a smile on his face.
Emperor Guangde's mentality has already exploded, but after all, he is also the king of a country. In this public place, he still has to maintain his image as a wise king.
"Control anger...control anger..."
Emperor Guangde comforted himself in this way, and then forced out a smile.
"Haha..."
Emperor Guangde smiled and said: "Congratulations to you for winning six consecutive games and winning the literary battle. I announce that I will give the Taiyi pen to you."
The official then handed the Taiyi pen to Du Ning.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Du Ning took the Taiyi pen and put it away. This thing was a gift from Emperor Guangde. It should be given to the Holy Court after returning, and it could also be exchanged for some literary achievements.
"May I ask Your Majesty, since we have won the civil war, can you agree to our request and let the warships of the Holy Academy pass through your waters to attack the Hailong Gang?" Du Ning took the opportunity to ask. p>
"Well..."
Emperor Guangde looked embarrassed. Before the literary fight began, Du Ning had already made such a request, and Emperor Guangde's response at that time was to wait until the scholars in the Holy Forest Continent outnumbered the people in the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom. p>
Although there is no positive agreement, there is no denial either. In theory, there is room for discussion.
It's just that Emperor Guangde didn't expect that the Seven Islands Sea Congress would lose so miserably.
This completely exceeded each of their expectations.
"Your Majesty, you must not do this!"
Prime Minister Wang gritted his teeth and said: "You must not agree to their request. The Holy Court is ambitious and has always wanted to annex our seven-island sea country. Once you agree to allow the Holy Court's warships to enter our waters, the consequences will be disastrous!"
”
The Minister of War also said: "The Prime Minister is right. You cannot agree to this matter no matter what. Please put the overall situation of the Seven Islands Sea Country first!"
"I second the proposal. You must not agree to such an unreasonable request from the Holy Court."
Many officials spoke out one after another.
The expressions of the scholars in the Holy Forest Continent are all very ugly. The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty have unanimous opinions. It is probably impossible to get Emperor Guangde to agree to this matter.
Emperor Guangde said to Du Ning: "Mr. Yunqi, it's not that I don't want the Holy Court's warships to pass through our waters, but that this matter is too serious. I still need to discuss it with the civil and military officials. Please
You give us three days. After three days, I will reply to you. During this time, you can stay in your country for a few days."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Du Ning could only accept Emperor Guangde's three-day deadline. At least Emperor Guangde and the civil and military officials would consider and discuss it, so there was still a chance.
"Master of the Ministry of Rites, you must entertain all distinguished guests well and do not neglect them."
"I obey the order." Liu Chengen immediately accepted the order.
"I am a little tired. Today's morning court will be here and we will retire."
"Your Majesty."
Everyone immediately saluted each other.
…………
Du Ning and others returned to their residence.
Tian Feipeng sighed and said: "The Seven Islands Sea Kingdom still has many misunderstandings and prejudices against our Holy Court. If they all believe that our mainland has the intention to capture the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom, then our trip will probably be in vain.
”
Fu Yue said: "The air here is a bit stuffy. Can anyone go outside with me for a walk?"
"You'd better not go anywhere." Du Ning said.
"Why is this?" Fu Yue asked doubtfully.
"You must not take it lightly, our current situation is not optimistic."
Du Ning said: "Didn't you hear the implications of what Emperor Guangde said? He said that he asked the Ministry of Rites to entertain us well. In fact, he was monitoring our every move. Once we found any suspicious behavior, the officials of the Ministry of Rites would
We will report to Emperor Guangde as soon as possible, and the Ministry of War will send people to arrest us at any time."
Everyone suddenly changed their colors.
"Brother Du, no way? I think Emperor Guangde is also a very cheerful monarch. How could he do such a thing? What's more, he doesn't have that motive!" Fu Yue said.
"We, Wen Dou, defeated the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom in six consecutive victories and took away their Taiyi Pen. How could we not have any motive?" Du Ning sneered.
"Impossible! As an emperor, it is impossible for Emperor Guangde to have such a narrow mind. He is also a descendant of King Wen, so it is absolutely impossible for him to do such unreasonable things."
"Yes! As the Nine-Five Supreme Being, there is really no need for him to kill us."
"Even if Emperor Guangde wants to kill us, I'm afraid we won't be able to return here to rest, right?"
Most people didn't believe what Duning said, and even thought he was a bit alarmist.
Du Ning said slowly: "With Emperor Guangde's ambition, it is naturally impossible for him to kill us, but other civil and military officials may not let us go. Today we defeated the Seven Islands Sea Country and stole the show.
But this is a great humiliation for the people of Qidaohai Kingdom. If it weren't for the presence of Emperor Guangde, the officials of the Ministry of War would have rushed over to kill us. As long as they kill us, they can cover them up.
The scandal of failure."
Everyone's hearts instantly felt as if they had fallen into an ice hole.
"Du Jun is right, Emperor Guangde will not kill us, but there will definitely be some officials who hate us to the core and will do everything possible to ask their emperor to get rid of us, or even fabricate unfounded charges against us."<
/p>
Fan Rulong said solemnly: "Zuo Zhuan says that if you want to accuse us, what's the point? Once we make any suspicious moves, it will trigger the keen nerves of the Seven Islands and Sea Kingdom, thus causing disaster."
Fu Yue said: "Then I will immediately use the Hongyan Seal to send a letter to Mr. Mingwang, tell him our current situation, and see if he can do anything."
Du Ning shook his head and said: "That's not possible, because Emperor Guangde's jade seal controls the temple. Once we send a message to Mr. Chen, Emperor Guangde may control the temple to intercept it. If Emperor Guangde takes advantage of the situation, there will be trouble immediately.
”
"This won't work, that won't work either, so what should we do now? Can we just stay here and not be able to do anything?" Fu Yue became a little irritable.
Fan Rulong said calmly: "Brother Fu, don't worry, as long as we do nothing, that is the best way to deal with the current situation."
Du Ning agreed: "Brother Fan is right. We are scholars and we must always be aware and prepared. However, the situation may not be that bad. At least within these three days, our lives will not be in any danger.
And I dare to conclude that something big will happen in the Seven Islands Sea Country within seven days. At that time, we may have to help the Seven Islands Sea Country. We will still be of use to the Seven Islands Sea Country."
"You mean..."
After Du Ning woke them up, everyone thought a lot, and then suddenly realized.
