Chapter 1566: Tripartite Deliberation
This is where King Yao lives and has breakfast, and it is a relatively private space. He invited Bai Ziqi to have breakfast here, which shows his closeness.
King Yao was already in the pavilion, and when the two sides met, there was another round of greetings.
As the sun rose, the morning light was bright, and the wrinkles and yellow spots on King Yao's face became more obvious. After not seeing him for a few years, Bai Ziqi found that his eyelids were drooping and his eyes were a little cloudy.
He is already a typical old man.
The two chatted for a few words when the palace maid announced that the Regent had arrived.
Qingyang is here.
Although she stayed in the palace last night and did not go back, Qingyang still changed her clothes. The bright peach pink long skirt made her look very good, which was in sharp contrast with King Yao.
She smiled at Bai Ziqi and said, "Baidu Envoy."
Until yesterday, it had indeed been a long time since they last saw each other, since she was driven out of Bega.
In Lingxu City, Bai Ziqi had played opposite her; when they met again this time, their identities and status were completely different.
There were no officials present today, so a veteran official like Qingyang certainly wouldn't show any discomfort. But King Yao was watching with great interest.
On his birthday he specially invited He Lingchuan to Tianshui City just to embarrass Qingyang in public; now Bai Ziqi, who was investigating the elixir of life case, has arrived, and it was Bai Ziqi who personally sent Qingyang to prison, so how could King Yao not invite Qingyang to be present?
The excitement is already here, it would be a shame not to see it.
But Qingyang's gaze towards King Yao was quite gentle. Not only did he not care, he was even a little indulgent.
If He Lingchuan saw her eyes here, he would feel a tingling sensation on his back, because he knew very well that Qingyang's generosity and forgiveness had a big premise:
Who would bother with a dying person?
That's the look of a dead person.
Bai Ziqi saw it and became thoughtful.
The three of them had their own appetite, so the meal tasted very different.
Last night's banquet was held in public, so only polite words were spoken. King Yao only asked about Bai Ziqi's schedule now, and then said, "I didn't expect that the Heavenly Palace attached so much importance to this so-called Nine Nether Emperor that they even asked Bai to go there in person."
This was spoken from the bottom of his heart. He really didn't understand why the gods would think highly of such a character. In his opinion, Bai Ziqi should have another important mission in the Golden Plains, but he just used this excuse to perfunctorily deal with him.
Bai Ziqi heard his emotions, but did not explain, saying: "It is always better to take precautions. When I traveled around Shanjin, I always heard the common people talk about the Nine Nether Emperor with great respect, while other gods on the plains could not get the incense. So, what do you think of the Nine Nether Emperor?"
Qingyang's eyes flickered slightly.
Bai Ziqi was ordered to investigate the Nine Nether Emperor half a year ago. At that time, the Nine Nether Emperor had not yet stirred up so much trouble and was just emerging, but he was already remembered by the gods?
The Heavenly Palace usually doesn't react so quickly, not to mention that the Nine Nether Emperor appeared in the Shining Gold Plain thousands of miles away. Oh, she knew that the Duyun Lord was not very proud of Bai Ziqi, so was this guy sent out by others to do this thankless task?
King Yao didn't know Bai Ziqi as well as Qingyang did, so he said immediately after hearing his voice: "What emperor? He is just a coward. If he dares to show his true identity, the iron hooves of the Yao army will crush his hiding place within half a month!"
He did not deny the individual combat power of the Nine Nether Emperor. After all, the Nine Nether Emperor had a record of killing Xue Zongwu in public. But the elite troops under this so-called "Emperor" were nothing more than a hundred cavalrymen, and the rest were unknown ragtag troops and fake troops. How could they compete with the regular army of Yao State?
Can scattered soldiers and brave men resist the state machine? This question itself is a joke.
Bai Ziqi said softly, "From what I have seen during my investigation, the Great Emperor Jiuyou has great ambitions in Pingyuan. Does your Majesty know his true intentions?"
"Every once in a while, such a fool will appear in the Golden Plains." King Yao didn't care. "He appears quickly and disappears just as quickly, like a bubble. What's the point of investigating his intentions?"
No matter how hard Emperor Jiuyou tries, he will not succeed.
If you fail, you are a weakling. Who would want to explore the psychology of the weak?
There were many such people in the Golden Plains. They came and went, and finally stained the land of the plains with blood.
Over the past two hundred years, only the Yao Kingdom has remained unmoved, watching the ebb and flow of the tide.
Bai Ziqi smiled and said, "Has there ever been such a person in the Golden Plains before, who was praised by people everywhere?"
"Yes." Yao Wang picked up the Xiangle drink and took a sip. The Yao people would use Xiangle powder, milk and two or three kinds of herbs to cook it, which is called "Xiangle drink". It has a smooth and rich taste. It makes you feel happy after taking a sip. It is especially suitable for drinking in winter.
There are dozens of recipes for Xiangle Drink, each with its own unique flavor, and some even add a few drops of sweet wine. But Yao Wang actually likes the simplest one.
"It's not necessarily that they are widely known. Their reputations are not as good as that of the Nine Nether Emperor, but their popularity is higher than his. There are always such people who streak across the Golden Plains like a comet, but eventually fail due to various reasons."
"Are you talking about the ogre king Zhao Guangzhi?"
"Not only that." Yao Wang gave an example, "For example, when the Ghost King Xuanlu was alive, he was also a powerful man in the central and western parts of the Shining Gold Plains; and the former owner of Luo Shengjia who defeated him had been causing bloodshed for many years. Alas, the appearance of such people is commonplace in our Shining Gold Plains."
"Don't you think that Emperor Jiuyou would be any different?" Bai Ziqi took a bite of Bingba.
This is the secret cold drink in the Yaowang Palace. He Lingchuan has tried it several times when he entered the palace. The taste is very similar to the ice cream in his memory. It is sweet, soft, icy and refreshing, and melts in the mouth.
It can be seen that Yao State not only had various kinds of vanilla, but also developed cream.
Yao Wang smiled and said, "Please ask Baidu to give instructions."
He only has such good patience when facing the important figures in the Heavenly Palace.
Bai Ziqi looked at Qingyang and said, "The Regent has already discovered it, right?"
Qing Yang took the spoon and blew gently to cool the hot soup, while he said steadily: "The Great Emperor Jiuyou is different from all the heroes who flashed gold before. Others want to expand their territory, but he competes with the gods for faith!"
"Faith?" Yao Wang disagreed, "He is a human being and can't afford incense, so what's the point of faith?"
"Human? Are you sure he is really human?" Qingyang said without even raising his head, "How can a human bring out the Black Dragon Mark?"
"This doesn't mean he's not human. Perhaps he just borrowed the power of immortals." King Yao raised his cup and took another sip. "There are many great monsters on the Shining Gold Plain, and there are so many legends about immortals."
Hearing this, Bai Ziqi glanced at him and said, "Speaking of immortals, I heard that your country had some interactions with immortals in the past?"
“Not really, not really!” King Yao waved his hands, “The last king once dreamed of an immortal. Dreams are not reality after all.”
Bai Ziqi is a messenger from the Heavenly Palace, and King Yao doesn't want him to misunderstand.
