But to the ears of the two imperial envoys and the general, they felt that the words were ironic and ironic.
The expressions on the three people's faces were not very good. They pondered for a while and communicated secretly.
The white-bearded old man sighed with emotion: "Your Majesty is indeed wise and powerful. He guessed that this guy would hunt down Prince Lian and boldly broke into Yunwu Pass."
The middle-aged man frowned and said in a very unhappy tone: "This boy is very arrogant and has no respect for His Majesty.
If not for His Majesty's explanation, I would really like to take action to extinguish his arrogance!"
The white-bearded old man smiled bitterly and said: "Don't be angry, if you really try to teach him a lesson, I'm afraid you will be defeated if you can't resist a few moves.
Don't forget, this man is so powerful that even the prince has been defeated by him many times.
Moreover, this person is cruel and bloodthirsty, lawless, and will never care about our identities."
The middle-aged man's face became gloomier and he said nothing more.
General Jin Jia tried to ask: "Two imperial envoys, what should we do now? Do we want to tell him the truth?"
The middle-aged man did not make the decision without authorization. He looked at the white-bearded old man and asked for his opinion.
The white-bearded old man thought for a moment, then nodded and said through the message: "One more thing is worse than one less thing. The grudge between this boy and Prince Lian has nothing to do with us. There is no need to hide it from Prince Lian.
What's more, what he said was not wrong.
If he could find Prince Lian and kill him, it would be considered a meritorious service.
However, we can only know these things well and cannot criticize them."
The middle-aged man and the golden-armored general both nodded in agreement.
The white-bearded old man then looked at Ji Tianxing and said, "Tianxing, as an imperial envoy designated by His Majesty the Emperor, I am here only to carry out the tasks assigned by His Majesty.
The words have been conveyed to you, but as for the whereabouts and direction of Prince Lian, I have no obligation to tell you.
However, I see that you are very energetic and majestic, and you are not as cruel and murderous as the rumors say.
Therefore, I am not telling you as an imperial envoy, but as an individual...
Even the prince is not at Yunwu Pass, he has never even been to Yunwu Pass!
But just one day ago, he had entered the empire.
As for which direction he went, I don’t know.”
After saying these words, the white-bearded old man looked at Ji Tianxing quietly and said nothing.
He had already said what needed to be said, and in his personal capacity, he sold Ji Tianxing a favor.
If Ji Tianxing continues to pester him, it means Ji Tianxing is being unreasonable.
In fact, Ji Tianxing still knew it well.
Not only did he know that the old man with white beard had sold him a favor, but he also knew why the old man with white beard did this.
Facts have proved that Emperor Dayan's attitude towards him was a bit complicated and contradictory.
Not only did they want to use him to eradicate Prince Lian, but they were also wary of him, fearing that he would cause big trouble in the Great Yan Empire.
If he could kill Prince Lian, not only would he remove a thorn in Emperor Dayan's side, Emperor Dayan would not have to pay any price, let alone suffer infamy.
But the Emperor of Dayan was also worried that if he went on a killing spree in the Dayan Empire, it would definitely arouse public anger and cause panic among various forces and people.
When the time comes, no matter how unwilling Emperor Dayan is, he will still have to send troops to encircle and suppress Ji Tianxing in order to boost the country's prestige.
He must maintain a glorious image of loving the people like a son in order to secure his position as emperor, otherwise he will be impeached and criticized by the die-hards.
But Emperor Dayan also knew in his heart that no matter how many elite soldiers and generals he sent, he might not be able to get rid of Ji Tianxing. Instead, he would suffer heavy losses and get deeper into trouble.
Once Ji Tianxing and the Great Yan Empire form a bloody feud, things will be out of control.
Even if the fight goes to the end and the Great Yan Empire can kill Ji Tianxing, it will still suffer heavy losses.
All in all, Emperor Dayan's psychology was very subtle and complex.
As an imperial envoy and a trusted confidant of Emperor Dayan, the white-bearded old man could certainly understand the emperor's thoughts.
But he couldn't say it clearly, lest he hurt the emperor's face and prestige.
Therefore, he made a smart choice to tell Ji Tianxing in his personal capacity.
The twists and turns involved are definitely beyond what ordinary people can think of and figure out.
Ji Tianxing raised his eyebrows, bowed his hands to the white-bearded old man, and said, "Thank you for informing me! In this case, I will take my leave."
After saying that, he turned around neatly, passed through the gap in the divine formation, and left Yunwu Pass.
Everyone stood in silence for a while, watching Ji Tianxing's figure disappear into the night sky.
The golden-armored general waved his hand, signaling the thousands of elite soldiers to retreat.
Only the white-bearded old man, the middle-aged man and the golden-armored general were left in the field. Only then did the three of them start talking.
The middle-aged man frowned in confusion and murmured: "This boy's behavior is indeed different from the rumors. He doesn't look like a murderous executioner who commits all evils, doesn't he?"
The white-bearded old man smoothed his beard, nodded and said: "Put aside the grudge between him and Prince Lian, at his age, he has the strength of the peak of the gods, and he can be called a genius not seen in thousands of years.
Such a peerless genius is often very proud, how could he be a villain who commits all kinds of evil?"
General Jin Jia breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I originally thought that this person would be very difficult, and there would probably be a fierce battle tonight.
Unexpectedly, he was sent away so easily?
Mr. Yuan is still brave enough to be able to frighten him."
The white-bearded old man stroked his beard and smiled self-deprecatingly, "General Wang, stop teasing me! How can I be so capable of intimidating the famous God of Death?
It is the reputation of His Majesty the Emperor that makes the God of Death fearful and dare not offend him.
Moreover, the God of Death is not a reckless person, and of course he knows how to weigh the interests.
He only has enmity with Prince Lian and has no enmity with us, so why should he embarrass us and enmity with the empire?"
General Jin Jia nodded in agreement, expressing his agreement.
The middle-aged man thought for a moment and then asked: "Mr. Yuan, is that boy really willing to leave like this?
How come he believes what you say without any doubt?"
The white-bearded old man chuckled and said: "First, there is no need for me to lie to him, let alone cover for Prince Lian, he knows it well.
Secondly, do you think he hasn’t investigated?
While we were negotiating, he had already secretly released his spiritual consciousness and searched the floating city several times!
He found no trace of Prince Lian, nor did he detect the aura left by Prince Lian, so of course you have to believe me."
The golden-armored general was even more impressed and flattered the white-bearded old man a few times.
The middle-aged man nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and continued to ask: "In Mr. Yuan's opinion, where will that kid go after leaving Yunwu Pass?
Will he really be deterred from entering the empire?"
The white-bearded old man shook his head again and chuckled: "Of course not! He is arrogant and lawless, how could he be frightened by our few words?
How could he hunt down Prince Lian without entering the empire?
His Majesty the Emperor has long anticipated this."
