The roaring sound enveloped the entire city of Chang'an.
The disciples of the Demon Sect gathered in the city cheered and cheered, and their greetings filled the sky.
On the other hand, those people of Chang'an who still remained in the city, garrisoning military guards, and princes and nobles all looked frightened, like lambs waiting for judgment, looking up at the majestic body in the sky that dominated the earth.
The Demon King is coming.
Coming on a dragon.
Even though they had seen the boundless and magnificent arrogance of the demon dragon, when the dragon's power once again enveloped the Chang'an imperial court, Li Yuan and others still felt like ghosts and gods, and their minds were swaying.
Wangcai slowly swam down from the sky and landed on the Taiji Hall. Looking down at all the mortals below, the air around the dragon's head was distorted by the sparks it breathed out.
And in this twisted air, a figure wearing a blue shirt and one arm, standing proudly on top of a dragon's head, looked like a demon, overlooking the world.
Swish, swish, swish!
Under the power of the dragon, the princes and nobles who welcomed the arrival of the Demon Emperor couldn't help but kneel down one by one.
When they knelt down, the feeling of depression in their hearts that seemed to be covered by a huge boulder was immediately relieved.
This is suppression at the spiritual level. If you choose to resist the pressure of higher genetic level creatures, you will naturally feel like you are facing a formidable enemy and you will be unable to control yourself.
But if you choose to comply with him and submit to him, you will be able to avoid being deliberately targeted by the qi formed by Long Wei at the spiritual level.
So for a moment, you can see that outside the Taiji Hall, the normally aloof dignitaries are like frightened deer, their legs and feet are all weak, and they are kneeling together.
And the person they knelt down to was not their emperor, at least not at this moment, but the man who, with the power of one person, could proclaim himself emperor and build a country, and dominate thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.
Demon King.
No one will feel ashamed when they kneel down to him. Instead, they will feel relieved from the bottom of their hearts. That man and that dragon are worthy of everyone in the world to kneel down.
This is the subconscious voice in everyone's heart.
But not everyone knelt down.
Li Yuan, at least at this moment, is still the emperor of this land. Even if he has chosen to surrender to the Demon Emperor, before the transfer of power is completed, he should naturally be the most noble person in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.
It can only be said that Li Yuan has lost his energy and ambition, but at least he has not lost his personality and pride.
Li Yuan did not kneel down, and Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Xiuning, the direct children of the prince, naturally had no reason to kneel down.
If you want to strive for the greatest benefits at the negotiation table, the first rule is not to be too subordinate to others, even if it is the Demon Emperor.
Obviously the people in Li clan understand this.
"Welcome the Demon King to come! We welcome the Dragon God to come!"
Li Yuan was the first to take the lead in bowing and shouting.
The rest of the people responded one after another and shouted in unison:
"Welcome the Demon King! Welcome the Dragon God!"
Ye Tai jumped down from the dragon's head and came to Li Yuan and others. He looked behind them, the princes and nobles who lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly at him, and said: "Those who are idle should retreat."
Li Yuan understood Mrs. Ye's intention and turned around to ask the courtiers to retreat.
But without him opening his mouth, those ministers who had long been frightened by the dragon's power, upon hearing the Demon Emperor's words, felt as if they were being pardoned, stood up one after another, bowed and walked back.
Li Yuan smiled bitterly in his heart, and then said to Mrs. Ye: "The Demon King came earlier than expected, but the chef was also prepared, so Li asked people to set up a banquet..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mrs. Ye who shook his head and said: "If you don't want to eat, just prepare something for Wangcai, a balanced mix of meat, fruits and vegetables."
"Wang, prosperous wealth?"
Li Yuan didn't come back to his senses for a while, but he remembered that when he was a child, his family had a Chinese garden dog named Wangcai, but...
Ouch~
It wasn't until the demon dragon let out a low dragon roar that Li Yuan, sweating profusely, said quickly: "Li will send someone to prepare for the Dragon God right now. Please ask the Dragon God to wait a moment."
After saying that, he turned to give instructions to his servants.
Awww~
Wangcai made another ear-drum-shaking low cry, but no one except Mrs. Ye knew what he meant.
Then they all looked at Mrs. Ye, who was in a calm and gentle mood.
Ye Tai said calmly: "I want you to put more salt and bake it a little bit. Don't eat the pig's nose, pick off the back part, and peel the fruits. I like lychees and melons, and don't eat rabbit meat, because rabbits...
Ahem, that’s all.”
On the surface, you are calm and relaxed, but in your heart, you are training to make money. Your special mother has so many demands. The most disgusting thing is that she even eats people, but she doesn't even eat rabbits.
Just because rabbits are cuter than people?!
Do you know how much it hurts your dragon's dignity to say this?
They are all used to it!
It seems that I still need to train this guy properly when I get back.
"Uh, ah, yes, yes, did you hear that?!"
Li Yuan was sweating profusely and gave instructions to his servant who was also sweating profusely.
"Listen, I heard it, my subordinates will prepare for the Dragon God!"
After saying that, he resigned and left.
This was the first time the people in the Li clan learned something about the nature of Master Dragon God, and they couldn't help but become more curious about that extremely ferocious human beast.
Especially Li Xiuning.
The Third Princess Li didn't dare to look directly into the demonic dragon's tyrannical gaze at first, but now her eyes shone brightly. If it weren't for her various fears, she would have wanted to go up and touch this big guy's head.
laugh!
The demon dragon seemed to have noticed her gaze, and it exhaled two streams of air mixed with sparks from its nostrils, with a warning in its eyes.
kindness.
Extremely dangerous warning.
How dare a mortal look at me like this, and then eat you!
"Xiu Ning!"
Li Yuan warned, and then Li Xiuning looked away and quickly lowered his head, but he could not hide the curiosity in his eyes.
"The Demon King forgives me."
Li Yuan said something, and then added: "The purpose of the Demon Emperor's visit this time, Li Clan will definitely be able to give a satisfactory answer. I, Chang'an's 300,000-strong army, are willing to surrender!"
Get straight to the point.
For a character like the Demon King, there is no need to play around with twists and turns.
Because he can penetrate two thousand miles of mountains and rivers with his energy and bring his will to the territory of Chang'an, his purpose is already very clear.
That is, if you want to surrender, you will live; if you don't, you will die. It's that simple.
If you continue to play some imperial tricks in front of him, or use retreat to advance, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive.
This is like a ruthless big shot who wants to get something, but the original owner wants to sell it for a price. Naturally, the big shot doesn't mind snatching it from him. Not only will he not give you a penny, but he will also
Let you be in a different place.
But if that person is willing to give up the thing in exchange for a reward from the beginning, then the big shot may think that this person understands the current situation and does not mind lowering the reward to the same price as the thing, or at a higher premium.
After all, the title of Duke of a country may be a status that others pursue throughout their lives.
But for the Demon Emperor, who can build a country with a single thought, drive a city with a single thought, and can travel two thousand miles with a single thought, not to mention a Duke, even if he has granted ten Dukes today, does he care?
The Duke and the Emperor have the greatest desires in the world.
But if the Demon King wants to overthrow a person, even a dynasty, he can do it overnight.
Giving up the fruits directly is the best way to negotiate when facing such a person.
Because, in fact, they have no bargaining chips at all. They can only rely on being appreciated by the Demon Emperor in all aspects, including integrity, courage, awareness of current affairs, and so on. Only by letting him take a high look can he feel that you are worthy of his reward.
I am willing to give you a deserved reward.
In fact, they did.
In Mrs. Ye's eyes, all the members of the Li family are truly the best among men, ambitious, courageous, capable, and determined to understand current affairs.
He nodded with satisfaction and said: "I understand, this emperor knows. What reward does Duke Tang want?"
Li Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "The Demon Emperor has already said the reward that Li wants. Li clan is willing to exchange thousands of miles of mountains and rivers under his command for a prince, and he will be hereditary!"
However, what made him feel suffocated was that Mrs. Ye shook her head lightly and said: "Under the clouds, everyone is Daluo. Within Daluo, there is no substitute."
