When they heard the news of the second prince's arrival, everyone's eyes widened, thinking they had heard it wrong.
Because the Second Prince, whether before he disappeared or after he returned to the capital, had never shown any interest in the affairs of the court. How come this time...
Some people looked at each other in confusion.
However, when everyone saw two people respectfully carrying a tray towards the door, they were stunned.
Because the one who came was not the Second Prince.
But...
Two people were carrying a tray, and on it was an origami eye made of red paper.
The eyes were not lifelike. If the origami eyes were not floating in the air along with the tray, I'm afraid no one would have taken a second look at it.
There is no doubt that behind this red origami eye is the Second Prince, who is watching everything in the court.
“…”
After everyone realized what was happening, they calmed down and adjusted their attitudes.
"Greetings, His Excellency the Second Prince!"
Lord Jing bowed respectfully to the origami eyes and took the lead in expressing his opinion.
Others followed suit.
In an instant, voices rose and fell in the court.
But the Origami Eyes didn't even look at them, didn't make any sound, and even slowly closed its eyes, as if it was resting.
No one dared to express any opinion. Even the heads of the eight sects, standing in the court, looked respectfully at the Second Prince's folded paper eyes. The others dared not speak a word and even breathed cautiously.
As for the throne above them, which represents His Majesty, it has always been empty, with no sign of His Majesty.
This has become the norm for all civil and military officials in the court.
I still remember that at the beginning of the history of Daxia, when the emperor first ascended the throne, he was concerned about the country and the people and expanded the territory.
Clear out corrupt officials, encourage the people to work hard, expand the official road of the country, and suppress the evil spirits in the city.
Each and every event and deed was of great merit and left a profound mark in the long river of history.
However, with the rise of the Great Xia Dynasty, treacherous ministers and villains made a comeback, making the court full of chaos.
Also, because the emperor cultivated his character and restrained himself, he gradually focused on inner cultivation and gradually delegated power over court affairs, which led to endless disputes among various factions in the court.
It was during this period that various imperial concubines entered the harem, disrupting state affairs and distracting the emperor.
Fortunately, at this moment, right now, is another rising node for the Great Xia Dynasty!
The mutual balancing among the eight factions has now become peaceful, with each faction retaining its own piece of land. There is not much conflict of interest, and there are almost no violent clashes.
In addition, His Majesty's move of delegating power and training his subordinates has already yielded initial results. Even without His Majesty's inspection, the eight clans can maintain order in the imperial city and peace in the world.
The prosperity of Daxia is about to bloom again with the assistance of their eight meridians!
So they did not feel there was anything wrong with His Majesty's absence.
But there is no doubt that it was His Majesty who convened this welcoming meeting, but he called them all but did not show up, leaving many people present puzzled and puzzled.
"The Demon Capital Envoy - Green Demon Envoy, here we are!"
As the sound came from outside the door, everyone couldn't help but look back.
"Humph! Those who are not of my race must have different hearts!"
No one likes monsters in this place.
At least, no one likes the demon who stands in the hall with his head held high, as if he treats this place as his own territory.
After all, the demons that many people have seen are slaves who kneel or lie on the ground, begging and wagging their heads and tails to them, not this kind of wild creature.
"You bold demon! You have arrived at the palace and yet you still don't kneel down to pay your respects!"
The first to launch an uprising were the eunuchs from the Tianji Pavilion.
The hoarse voice made people feel uncomfortable, so many people looked over there.
It was Eunuch Xu, the eldest son of the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion, who spoke.
The head of Tianji Pavilion is already old. From being vigorous and decisive in the beginning, he now delegates all matters, big and small, to his adopted sons to handle. He has long been in a semi-retired state similar to Lord Jing.
It's just that the Tianji Pavilion has a special position in the court, so even without a pavilion master, it is still quite active in the court. It can be said that it has grown wings, and there is no need for him to worry too much. At most, he can come forward to support and suppress most of the problems.
The attitude expressed by Eunuch Xu at this moment represented not only the opinion of Tianji Pavilion, but also the voice of most people present.
The imperial palace of the Great Xia Dynasty, the imperial court, a mere demon messenger should be grateful for being able to step into the door, but he is so rude! He is indeed a bloodthirsty person!
Qing Yao's cold gaze also swept over everyone at this time.
For some reason, as soon as he stepped into this place... no! As soon as he stepped into the palace, he felt uncomfortable all over, with a sense of discomfort from the bottom of his heart.
But now, this feeling has eased a lot.
At this moment, he represented the Demon Capital! He represented the dignity of the demon clan! He was asked to kneel down? No way!
Don’t forget, Lord Lan established the Demon City on the territory of Da Xia!
To put it simply, it means building a city, establishing one's own territory, and conferring titles of nobility and generals.
To put it in a broader sense, it means that he has established his own demon country, and his status is equal to that of Daxia! They are all ministers of the same country, so why should he kneel down and salute others?
However, the Green Demon refused to kneel. The long-bun fire demon that was accompanying him was already frightened to the point of breaking out in cold sweats and almost unable to breathe.
The strong... There are too many strong people here! It is as ridiculous as an ant here, and dare not show its presence at all.
"Just you guys..."
Different from the trembling fire demon with long bun, the green demon was going to make a direct threat.
But halfway through his speech, he suddenly seemed to see something and his expression froze.
The obvious change in his expression made everyone unable to help but look in the direction he was looking.
What Qing Yao was looking at was... the red origami eyes of the Second Prince!
What's wrong?
What was wrong with the Second Prince's origami that warranted this demon's reaction?
As if sensing the Green Demon's gaze, the Second Prince's origami eyes slowly opened again.
That look was very vivid. He just glanced at Qing Yao calmly. There seemed to be a flash of disappointment in his eyes for a moment, and then he closed his eyes again.
Squeak!
Origami spontaneously ignites without fire, quickly turns into ashes, and disappears into the air.
Many people were shocked, but those who could stand in the court and had seen many storms naturally remained calm on the surface.
Only two guards who were responsible for holding the trays quietly retreated with the trays and left the court.
“That origami technique…”
The image of Lanyuhe's blue paper crane flashed through Qing Yao's mind.
Very similar!
No matter in terms of technique or other aspects, they are so similar, it's almost as if... they were created by Lan Yuhe!
But...Blue-feathered Crane has never folded origami in the shape of eyes before.
"Qing Yao Envoy, tell me, you demons destroyed the city of Daxia, killed the generals of my Yaofeng Army, and wiped out my Yaofeng Army. Now you are sending envoys to show off your power. I am very curious about what the demons in your demon capital want to do now. Do you really think you have the ability to gain a foothold in this land? Are you here to declare war on us?"
The one who spoke was none other than the leader of the Demonic Front Army—Bai Juetian!
The appearance of the white-haired young man gave people a sense of awe-inspiring power without even being angry. With just one glance, Qing Yao seemed to see an overwhelming and strong evil aura from this man!
The greedy aura filled with temptation made him unable to control his restless mind and was about to have some emotional fluctuations...
boom!!
Invisible murderous aura passed through his whole body like a stream of air.
In an instant, Qing Yao seemed to be in Shura Purgatory, an endless battlefield, with flames raging all around and blood and flesh flying everywhere. He was in a deep pit where corpses were piled up like mountains, trapped in the center by the armies on both sides!
This is?!!
Qing Yao's pupils shrank slightly, and he came back to his senses.
Those illusions, that murderous battlefield, have all disappeared.
While taking a slight breath, he looked at Bai Juetian, already feeling fearful.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The long-bun fire demon next to him was still in a daze, as if he had not yet recovered from the murderous illusion.
"Huh?"
The corners of Bai Juetian's mouth raised slightly, as if he was somewhat surprised that Qing Yao could break free from his murderous illusion so quickly.
"General Bai, since the Demon Capital has sent an envoy, I don't think they are here to declare war. Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to send people all the way to the capital to ask for an audience with the emperor. But unfortunately, the emperor has no intention of meeting you. If you have anything to say, please tell us."
A feeling like a spring breeze blew over, and Qing Yao's condition improved a lot.
The fire demon with long bun trembled all over, and with the help of this breath, he finally came back to his senses.
Qing Yao glanced over and saw that the person who spoke was actually the dean of the Taoist Academy.
After all, he was going to the capital as an envoy, so he had done some homework.
The Green Demon raised the corner of his mouth, and compared with the trembling Fire Demon with a long bun next to him, he seemed even calmer and more confident, as if he didn't take the civil and military officials in the court seriously at all.
I only heard Qing Yao speak slowly.
"You guys, can make the decision?"
It was a simple question, but it was asked in a rather sinister way.
If they agreed, they would be gossiped about and would be able to take control of the court beyond the emperor's control.
Although they have always done this, it was allowed by the emperor and was a tacit understanding between them. Being able to actually say it out loud is another matter.
If they can't make the decision, do they need to ask His Majesty to intervene? Is it really necessary to alarm His Majesty for a mere envoy from the Demon City?
Just when the old guys were embarrassed to speak...
"Stop dithering! If you have something to say, just say it! If not, get out of here! I can't stand you monsters pretending to be so arrogant!"
The sharp and piercing sound rang out again.
It was Eunuch Xu who spoke again.
However, this time, no one thought that Eunuch Xu's voice was unpleasant. He was simply their substitute, and his words were rough but reasonable enough to resolve the problem.
No wonder the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion would entrust all matters to Eunuch Xu, his adopted son. He is also the one the Pavilion Master likes the most and is indeed reliable at critical moments.
In the past, upon hearing such words, the long-bun fire demon would have been furious.
But now, it just shrank its body, hiding behind the Green Demon, trembling, its brain seemed to be blank, and it dared not make any statement.
The fire demon with long bun has naturally seen big scenes.
But with such a grand scene as today, directly attacking the most powerful imperial city of mankind, standing in the palace and facing countless human strongmen, it only hated why it had to show its loyalty and follow Qing Yao to the capital. Otherwise, it would be the second in command of the Demon King in the Demon Capital now. Wouldn't that be a very comfortable life, and there would be no worries like now.
"It's so ugly, you have a rooster voice, your voice is so ugly!"
Qing Yao tilted her neck slightly and looked at Eunuch Xu with sidelong glances.
"What did you say!!"
Just as Eunuch Xu was about to explode with anger, he gently pressed his wrist with an old hand.
Eunuch Xu trembled, and immediately restrained everything.
However, the momentum burst out at that moment, and both the Green Demon and the Long-bun Fire Demon felt pressured.
This thing that is neither fair nor feminine, although its voice is unpleasant, its strength is not simple.
The green demon narrowed his eyes slightly.
Looking at the people in the court, all of them had unfriendly eyes, and he didn't intend to waste any more time talking to them.
Clasp your fists, raise them high, Qing Yao said loudly.
"I, in the name of the Demon King of Demon Capital, have come to the Great Xia Royal City to seek peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation between the two races!"
Live in peace?
Win-win cooperation?
That’s it?
Everyone couldn't help but laugh.
After all the fuss, it turned out that they came to make peace and surrender.
A demon envoy who comes to beg for peace in a servile manner, but still has a strong backbone!
"Cooperate? How to cooperate? Get along? How to get along? Tell me, what do you want to do in your demon city?"
Military leader Bai Juetian said jokingly.
He was the most murderous and violent, and it was his men who were lost in the previous operation.
Among all those present, he is naturally the one who wants to get rid of the Demon City the most!
So, although these words seemed to be a joke, they were actually putting pressure on Qing Yao.
However……
"Yaodu is willing to guard the border areas on behalf of the Great Xia Dynasty! Become the sharpest spear and the most solid shield of the Great Xia Dynasty! Defend the Great Xia Dynasty against foreign enemies! Defend against the invasion of other demons! Establish a long-lasting world of peaceful coexistence with the Great Xia Dynasty!"
The situation was tense at the front.
Now you're trying to please me again?
To be honest, few people believed Qing Yao's lies. Some even felt that Qing Yao's pretentious attitude seemed to be mocking the incompetence of their Great Xia Dynasty for failing to wipe out all the monsters in this border area. Otherwise, how could there be the current situation? How could this small monster capital dare to send envoys here to seek peace?
If it were the heyday of Daxia in the past, the monsters wouldn't even have the right to exist for a day. They would be wiped out immediately by the emperor himself! How could they have the chance to be so arrogant?
"So, you, the Demon Capital, are really here to seek peace?"
Lord Jing asked doubtfully.
"Of course." Qing Yao responded.
"In other words, you are here on behalf of all the demons in the demon city to serve as our slaves?"
Because the Second Prince, whether before he disappeared or after he returned to the capital, had never shown any interest in the affairs of the court. How come this time...
Some people looked at each other in confusion.
However, when everyone saw two people respectfully carrying a tray towards the door, they were stunned.
