Jinpeng Palace was silent, stunned by the angry questioning. Odin and Isaac looked at Niya blankly, as if they were getting to know each other again. This was probably the first time they had seen the cold and arrogant Niya since they were young.
Such a performance is completely unimaginable.
Tang Yan frowned and looked at Niya seriously: "Seriously?"
Niya noticed her gaffe, but she was not embarrassed or shy like other women. Instead, she returned to her cold and arrogant state as usual: "What do you think?"
"So... you still... like me?"
"What do you hope?" Niya continued to ask.
"Hey, that's right, I guessed the same. Without a strong dose of medicine, you don't know how important I am." Tang Yan muttered and returned to normal. He smiled at the corner of his mouth and gestured to everyone: "Please wait a moment.
Okay, now that the family affairs have been taken care of, let’s take care of the state affairs. As the saying goes, when dealing with foreign affairs, you must first make peace with yourself at home. Please forgive me."
His initial words seemed to be muttered, but they were clearly heard by the entire Jinpeng Palace. The corners of Odin's eyes twitched slightly, and his expression suddenly changed. Where is this girl's acting?
The imperial ministers finally woke up. They were confused and speechless. A great plan for national policy turned into a love affair? Several young heroes secretly sighed. The acting was so dedicated that even they were moved. This move was enough.
Specially, when dealing with a proud girl like Niya, it is impossible to deal with things without some strong medicine.
"Young master, I know how to be romantic, learn from it." Tang Yan winked at a dazed young man next to him, causing everyone to laugh and cry, and couldn't help but look at Niya more.
Niya was very calm, so calm that even she felt strange.
Saying these words is basically the same as expressing your feelings to a man. It is simply unimaginable, but when you say these words, you feel relaxed.
Looking at Tang Yan's playful expression again, with a trace of joy hidden in the corners of his mouth, Niya couldn't help but laugh and curse in her heart, and the corners of her mouth also curved in a vague and non-existent way.
Was Tang Yan really acting just now? Who knows.
Is the laughter at this moment a cover-up for the emotion just now? Who knows.
"Tang Yan, are you willing to take on the important task of rescuing the Imperial Capital of Delos?" The emperor brought the subject back to the right track.
"Your Majesty, if conditions permit, I am happy to be a hero and rescue everyone present from the fire pit." Tang Yan paused for a moment, but before the relief on everyone's faces could spread, he changed the subject: "
But it’s a pity and I’m sorry. The conditions don’t allow it and I don’t have the ability.”
"Do those venerables have any other requests? Just ask, we still have some treasures in the treasury."
"Your Majesty, my lords, things are not what you think. You should have noticed that these venerables are actually all injured, because they also have their own crises within the Dayan Mountains. If you can agree to come with me this time, it is already
It is very rare, and it is particularly emphasized that they must be killed within five days, otherwise they will take action on their own and leave the imperial city."
"Five days? How can five days solve the danger of the imperial city?"
"No! They must stay!"
"No matter how anxious Dayan is, can it survive the national crisis in Delos?"
"Everything is negotiable. We will send people to talk to them."
The Jinpeng Palace immediately became noisy, and the anticipation on everyone's faces turned into anxiety.
The emperor also had a solemn face: "Tang Yan, there is no price that cannot be negotiated in the world. No matter what the price, as long as we can afford it, we can exchange it, as long as they can help us repel the Great Zhou."
"Your Majesty, I'm not trying to show off, nor am I trying to raise prices. This time it's really not a matter of price or price. The Delos royal family has been inherited for more than two thousand years, the treasury is abundant, and there are many treasures of heaven and earth. But the Dayan Mountains
There are also endless treasures in the vast mountains, and each of their sects has been inherited for more than a thousand years, so there is no shortage of these things. What they want is not treasures, but life, and return to the Dayan Mountains alive and intact.
They are not reckless people. They can clearly see the situation in the imperial capital and can appreciate the strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Unless you can guarantee that they will make a qualitative leap in strength after rescuing the royal family from crisis, they will either be promoted to the third level of martial arts or be able to step into the next level.
Semi-Saint Realm, otherwise, they would basically not agree to stay."
"Is there really no way?" The emperor was unwilling to give in. The sky finally sent him hope, how could he let it slip away so easily.
"Your Majesty, I understand your feelings and am willing to help you. But you should know the current situation better than me. King Zhou Ling is surrounded by many masters. The five fierce swords and more than a dozen martial masters are not just decorations.
Playing a sneak attack? Eliminate them one by one? This is purely questioning the IQ of King Zhou Ling. If they were easily attacked by a sneak attack, you Delos would not be reduced to this situation.
Fight out by force? It is difficult for us people to break through the encirclement. How can ordinary people break through the more than two million elite soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty? Moreover, their performance at the last moment today was so abnormal. There must be some secret weapon at work."
An elder of the family said: "Then what do you think we should do? You have all come in anyway, and you must go out. Now there are many crises outside, and King Zhou Ling will not let you go easily. If the crisis is not resolved, how will you leave?"
"
"We are now a grasshopper on a rope."
"Everything will be prosperous, and every loss will be a loss. Unless the difficulties in the imperial city are relieved, you can't even hope to leave safely."
"How about calling them all over? Let's talk face to face."
"If we unite, we will have twenty-six Martial Lords. Even if we can't win, we can still fight for half a year. When our Half-Saint Ancestor recovers, things will turn around."
"What we ask for is not high, as long as we kill all the Martial Lords of Great Zhou!"
The atmosphere in the hall became noisy again, and all the old people were shouting.
Tang Yan endured his temper and said: "I said, I want to help you, but the venerables of the Dayan Mountains are not my subordinates. They are just friends I invited with all the hard work. Five days is the limit.
, it is impossible to stay for a long time. Everyone, please calm down, I have a suggestion, it may be cruel, but relatively speaking, both you and I can accept it."
"Say." The emperor motioned for everyone to be quiet.
"Half alive and half dead. I rescued some people in the imperial city and brought them to the Dayan Mountains to arrange a safe living environment. The rest stayed to settle matters with King Zhou Ling and provide containment for our evacuation.
"
The atmosphere in the hall fell silent, and everyone's expressions were ugly. After all, were they going back to the worst plan they had arranged a month ago? When they were desperate, they planned to use hundreds of thousands of defenders and
At the cost of all the powerful men of the empire dying in battle, a chance of escape was created for the selected hundreds of outstanding descendants.
The opinions Tang Yan puts forward now are basically the same as the worst-case scenario at that time.
"I repeat for the last time, we will only stay here for five days. This premise will not change and cannot be changed. Five days is a short time. We cannot severely damage King Zhou Ling, let alone save the imperial city.
To put it bluntly, with the current situation in Biennan, we can save the imperial city for a while, but we cannot protect it forever. If King Zhou Ling retreats now, he will definitely think of new ways to destroy this city in the future, and it will be difficult for you to reply.
Delos was independent and glorious at that time.
The only way is to break out of the encirclement and escape to other places to survive again. In the future, if the time comes, I will wait for an opportunity to assassinate King Zhou Ling, or re-plan the dream of restoring the country, but this is a thing for another time. The main thing now is to find a way to escape.
You can escape as much as you can.
Your Majesty, my lords, you only have five days to think about it, and I hope you can think about it objectively and seriously. What I said is a bit cruel, but it is the truth. To put it more cruelly, I, Tang Yan, have nothing to do with you. I can do it.
These are considered to be the most benevolent and righteous, and we will also promise to try our best to ensure that the people you choose can leave alive."
Tang Yan clasped his fists regretfully, stood up and left. When he walked to the door of the palace, he paused for a moment and said, "There are up to two thousand people. This is the limit of what I can do. Including all members of the Rao family, not one person can
fall."
Tang Yan left, and the atmosphere in the hall continued to be oppressive silence. They were already prepared to die, and they could see through the situation in front of them. It was a foregone conclusion that Zhou Dynasty would dominate Biannan, and any efforts could at most delay the situation.
The effect could not change the final outcome. But the sudden arrival of Tang Yan and the shocking combination of the Sixteenth Martial Lord brought them new hope, and those unrealistic fantasies became expectations again.
But now, Tang Yan's almost cruel words were like pouring a basin of cold water on them. It was cold and cold, seeping from head to heel, and the newly ignited hope was shattered again.
"There are only four hundred people left in the Rao family, which is not too much. You can...sigh..." When Odin said these words, he had mixed feelings in his heart. He didn't know whether he should be grateful for taking Tang Yan in or should be grateful for it.
The situation in Delos is regrettable.
"Is there really no other way? Odin, you... are you going to try to persuade me again?" Someone cast hopeful eyes on Odin.
"Odin, tell me, as long as the crisis of the royal family can be solved, even if it is just to expel King Zhou Ling outside the Mangdang River, the royal treasury will be at their disposal!" The emperor still wanted to make the final insistence, even if he had to escape,
You also have to escape with dignity, so as not to look like a lost dog.
"Your Majesty, I will try my best to persuade you. But what Tang Yan said makes sense. The situation in Delos is already very dangerous and some choices need to be made. I understand Tang Yan's character. He will not promise easily, but if he agrees, he will definitely
Try your best to do your best. So if it is absolutely necessary and only two thousand people can escape, about 80% of these two thousand people can escape into the Dayan Mountains. Tang Yan can summon people from all major sects.
Helping shows that he is indeed doing well there, and these survivors can at least have a stable life."
After Odin said this, he shook his head and sighed, and left the hall with Niya and Isaac, leaving everyone to continue thinking in silence.
