"The Temple of the Sky has just made a decision. Whoever can go to the Balrog Empire and persuade Lan Ling to sign the peace treaty, even if it's only five years, can be promoted to a Sky Priest," Gu Ban said.
At this time, Ji Soo-ning's scalp was still numb. She was completely shocked by the news that Lan Ling had become the Demon Emperor. After hearing Gu Ban's words, she seemed to suddenly wake up and said, "I'm not going, I'm not going."
This was a voice she had never heard before.
She seemed to always be calm, even when she was killed by Hui Gu. At this time, her voice was very sharp.
Gu Ban said, "Isn't it your mission to serve the Dragon Temple? Besides, I think it's very suitable for you to go. After all, you and Lan Ling had two children. "
It would have been better if he didn't mention the children. At that time, in order to escape, she not only abandoned her three children, but also poisoned them. This was how she forced Empress Tina to let her go.
Immediately, Ji Soo-ning said coldly, "Teacher, I know why you are looking for me. I am the person that Lan Ling hates the most, so I'm not really going to be a messenger, but a gift for Lan Ling, to let him kill me to vent his anger. Only after letting him vent his anger will you be able to negotiate. "
"You're thinking too much," Sky Priest Gu Ban said.
Ji Soo-ning said, "The person that Lan Ling hates the most should be Jung Yeon. Why don't you let her go? Why do you want me to go? Unless it's a direct order from the Temple of the Sky, I won't go. "
As soon as these words came out, they directly shed all pretense of cordiality.
Gu Ban's expression turned cold, and he immediately left.
After Gu Ban left, Ji Soo-ning immediately rode on a flying mount and flew to Eros Pavilion.
…
After entering Ning Wuya's residence, Ji Soo-ning saw Suo Qinqin, the eldest daughter of Lan Ling.
Ji Soo-ning looked at him with a complicated gaze. From now on, this teenage girl would be the eldest princess of the strongest empire in the world.
Ji Soo-ning was the eldest princess of the strongest human empire, but compared to the Balrog Empire, the Yan Empire was nothing.
Even the current Balrog Empire had a land area of 160 million square kilometers and a population of 600 to 700 million.
Soon, the northern wilderness would fall into the hands of Lan Ling. Even the entire human empire in the future would fall under the iron hooves of Lan Ling.
At this time, Suo Qinqin was still drawing. This time, she was drawing her younger brother, Zhi Yu. She had only seen Zhi Yu a few times, and she only knew that he was also her father's son. Therefore, she drew it based on her imagination, which was why it was different from the real Zhi Yu.
Ji Soo-ning couldn't help but step forward and say softly, "Qinqin, after Zhi Yu grew up, his eyes and nose are more like your father's. He doesn't look like Zhi Ning at all like when he was a child."
Then, Ji Soo-ning kindly took the paintbrush and helped Qinqin draw.
However, Qinqin suddenly grabbed all the paintbrushes on the table and looked at Ji Soo-ning coldly and vigilantly.
There was only one thing in her mind, and that was that no one who appeared here was a good person.
Ji Soo-ning's warm face was stuck to a cold butt. She immediately smiled awkwardly, nodded gently at Qinqin, and walked in.
Inside, Ning Wuya was sitting in a daze. In front of him was a portrait of Lan Ling. Oh, no, it was a portrait of Søren, Qinqin's work.
Speaking of which, even though he had been enemies with Lan Ling for more than a decade, Ning Wuya had never seen him before.
Ji Soo-ning stepped forward and knelt down, saying, "Lord Wuya, save me!"
Ning Wuya was startled, then asked, "What's wrong?"
Ji Soo-ning said, "My former teacher, Gu Ban, wanted me to go to the Balrog Empire. He wanted Lan Ling to kill me to vent his anger. In his eyes, I'm a traitor because I chose to join you. "
Ning Wuya's expression turned cold, and his facial muscles twitched slightly.
Gu Ban was really too much of a bully, adding insult to injury. Ning Wuya hadn't completely fallen from power yet, but Gu Ban couldn't wait to add insult to injury.
Killing the chicken to warn the monkey, killing Ji Soo-ning to show Gu Ban's authority.
After Ji Soo-ning finished speaking, she didn't try to sow discord, nor did she say anything to warn the monkey.
As for Ji Soo-ning, Ning Wuya had to protect her. Otherwise, his prestige in the Temple of the Sky would fall. Who would follow him, and who would fear him? If he killed Ji Soo-ning today, he would kill Fu Lingxi tomorrow. The day after that, would he kill Zhang Shuangshuang, and then frame the Devil Pavilion and Devil Laboratory as colluding with the enemy on Ning Wuya's head?
"I'm going to see His Majesty Shi Tian," Ning Wuya said.
Ji Soo-ning knelt down and said, "Thank you, Lord."
…
The temple where the number one leader of the Temple of the Sky, Shi Tian, lived was quite simple.
"Greetings to His Majesty Shi Tian." Ning Wuya knelt down meticulously. This was unprecedented.
However, he was stopped by Shi Tian.
"You and I are colleagues, not subjects," Shi Tian said. "We are an elite democracy, not an empire."
Then, he pointed to a box on the table and said, "The Flame Demon Emperor just sent it here."
Ning Wuya opened it and saw a man's unworthy object.
"Misfortune's crotch organ." Shi Tian said, "Misfortune himself was fed to dogs because he violated the Hell Knight Aslo. This is the only thing left. It was sent to the Hundred Thousand Mountains first, and then the Dragon Temple's Holy Priest sent it here as fast as possible."
Ning Wuya's face trembled, and he said hoarsely, "Is, is it necessary? Misfortune … is a Sky Priest no matter what. Even if we are enemies, he is still a subject, equivalent to a high-level member of the Flame Demon Council. This is completely disgraceful. "
Shi Tian said, "Probably because we killed, played, and ravaged him, the Flame Demon Emperor doesn't think that the Dragon Temple is dignified. Probably because in his eyes, the members of the Temple of the Sky are no different from pigs and dogs, not worthy of respect. He doesn't recognize political equality. "
This was the most frightening thing!
If you don't recognize political equality, you won't be given the same treatment.
Ming Ying Zong Zhu Qizhen was defeated in the Tile Kiln Castle and captured by Wa Ci. But the other side recognized his political status, so even though he was captured, his life wasn't too bad, and he still enjoyed the status of a foreign monarch.
And in the late Northern Song Dynasty, after Emperor Hui and Emperor Qin were captured by the Jin Kingdom, they didn't enjoy the treatment of monarchs, and lived worse than pigs and dogs. The empress and concubines were killed by the Jin soldiers, and the two emperors didn't have enough to eat every day, and any soldier could come and torture them.
Lan Ling treated Misfortune like this, which meant that he would never give the Dragon Temple members the same political treatment, and would only ravage them like pigs and dogs to death.
"Oh, why did you come to see me?" Shi Tian said.
Ning Wuya said, "Gu Ban wants to send Ji Soo-ning to the Balrog Empire as a messenger, but I don't think it's appropriate. After all, Ji Soo-ning has made great contributions. Lan Ling hasn't asked for it, and we can't wait to send Ji Soo-ning to be killed to vent his anger. Then, if Lan Ling asks, should we send Fu Lingxi, Jung Yeon, Zhang Shuangshuang, Ji Mengbai, Huai Bingji, and the others to be killed by Lan Ling to vent his anger? One day, if Lan Ling says that as long as Sky Priest Gu Ban and Ning Wuya are sent to us, I won't start the war. Are you going to send me and Gu Ban over to be killed by him as well? "
After hearing this, Shi Tian didn't show any obvious anger.
Ning Wuya said, "In order to stall for time, in order to set up the Hundred Thousand Mountains defense line and the East Sea defense line, we can compromise with Lan Ling. But we can't compromise unconditionally. At the very least, we can't send the meritorious officials of the Dragon Temple to be killed by Lan Ling. This will chill people's hearts. We, the Dragon Temple, are just stalling for time. We are definitely not appeasing him, nor are we weak. We absolutely can't let Lan Ling have the power to kill us. "
Shi Tian said, "Pavilion Master Wuya, it's useless for you to be indignant here. You know, some people need backbone, but it's definitely not us. We don't need backbone, because we aren't a country, we don't need any spirit. We are the Dragon Temple, representing the highest power and strength. If necessary, anyone can be sent to Lan Ling to vent his anger, as long as it's not us. "
Ning Wuya really wasn't used to such straightforward words and no hypocrisy.
"You should know that there's no room for reconciliation between us and Lan Ling. It's a fight to the death. The whole world can only accommodate one person, either the Dragon Temple or Lan Ling. Of course, it's also possible that it can't accommodate one person at all." Shi Tian said, "I know you don't care about Ji Soo-ning's life or death. What you care about is your own face. But at this time, face is useless. This is a battle to the death, and it's no longer within the scope of political struggle. "
Instantly, Ning Wuya's expression became extremely ugly.
"We are debating whether or not to send Ji Soo-ning to be killed by Lan Ling, and whether or not to send Fu Lingxi to be killed. But have you considered Lan Ling's thoughts?" Shi Tian said, "We want to negotiate, and we want to pressure him with one condition at a time. But have you thought about it? Lan Ling won't even negotiate a single condition. Trust me, he won't negotiate anything. So, your Ji Soo-ning doesn't need to die, because her death will be in vain. "
Ning Wuya's expression became even more unsightly.
"We have to send an emissary to negotiate with him," Ning Wuya said.
"Well, if he goes, he might not come back. He probably won't come back, because Lan Ling wants to express his firm will, otherwise he wouldn't have killed Misfortune." Shi Tian said, "What about Hui Gu? Is he still alive? "
Ning Wuya said, "At that time, he failed to persuade the Heaven Killer King to surrender, and he fled to seek refuge with Lan Ling. He made a mistake, so he was temporarily put in confinement and didn't participate in the final battle of the Balrog Empire. Instead, he profited from his misfortune and survived."
Shi Tian said, "Then let Hui Gu go."
…
After the substitute Heaven High Priest Hui Gu was released, Ning Wuya summoned him for a chat.
He told him about Lan Ling, then about the Demon Kingdom and Fiend Pavilion's annihilation, and about Misfortune being fed to the dogs.
Finally, Ning Wuya said, "Go and talk to Lan Ling. Try to strive for five years of peace. As long as there is no northern expedition, we can negotiate any condition."
Hui Gu remained silent.
"Remember, we can negotiate any condition," Ning Wuya said.
Hui Gu looked as if he had lost his parents. Normally, he would be very respectful to Ning Wuya, but now he didn't need to be.
"As long as you sign a peace treaty with Lan Ling, even if there is no northern expedition within five years, you can directly become a Heaven High Priest and replace Misfortune's position." Ning Wuya patted Hui Gu's shoulder and said, "I think highly of you. You are brimming with talent. Only if you handle this matter, His Majesty Shi Tian and I can rest assured."
Then, Ning Wuya left.
Hui Gu let out a series of roars.
He cursed in his heart, "Ning Wuya, f * ck your mother, Temple of the Sky, f * ck your mother. You are clearly sending me to my death, saying that you think highly of me and promoting me to Heaven High Priest. How did Misfortune die? He was fed to the dogs. "
"I was the one who took the blame, and I was also the one who failed in persuading the Heaven Killer King to surrender. Now, you want me to die? Do you think I am stupid? Fine, I am stupid, but I can't be the only one being screwed over. Why didn't Fu Lingxi go and negotiate? Why didn't Ji Soo-ning go and negotiate? Why didn't Zhang Shuangshuang go and negotiate? "Hui Gu's heart was filled with grief and indignation.
"Why should I be screwed over? Am I so easy to bully? "
However, Hui Gu could not refuse.
After he went to the Balrog Empire, he would be killed by Lan Ling, but if he did not go, he would be killed now.
After sitting on the ground for a long time, he went to Ning Wuya and made a request.
"I want to take someone with me." Hui Gu said.
"Søren's daughter, Suo Qin? No. "Ning Wuya said.
Hui Gu said, "It is not Princess Suo Qin, it is Dia Wu from the Fiend Pavilion. She is the lover of the Winged Clan's Crown Prince, and the biological mother of His Majesty Lan Ling's adopted daughter. Moreover, she owes the Flame Demon Emperor a debt of gratitude, releasing Ashita Liren and Zhi Ning. "
Ning Wuya thought for a moment before replying, "Approved!"
… …
The next day, the Heaven Priest Substitute Hui Gu left the Fiend Pavilion with Dia Wu, heading towards the Balrog Empire!
A few days later.
The Heaven Priest Substitute Hui Gu suddenly kowtowed nine times outside the Flame Demon City.
"Hui Gu greets the Master of the Plane, the Lord of the Ten Thousand Races, the Sovereign of the Heavens, the Ruler of the Universe, the Flame Demon Emperor, long live, long live!"
"Hui Gu is willing to surrender to Your Majesty and become a loyal dog at your feet. Hui Gu is willing to become Your Majesty's vanguard in the Northern Expedition!"
"Hui Gu is willing to be a slave or a dog, to help Your Majesty destroy the world, even if it is not worth mentioning!"
This was too sudden!
Just like that, the Heaven Priest Substitute Hui Gu, who was unwilling to die, directly surrendered.
Before he even saw Lan Ling, he had already knelt down and surrendered. He had to be quick, because he was afraid that if he saw Lan Ling, he would not even be able to say a single word before being fed to the dogs. With Lan Ling's personality, it was very likely that he would do such a thing.
Just like that, Hui Gu kowtowed three times and kowtowed nine times in front of everyone. Every nine steps he took, he would kneel down three times and kowtow nine times.
He had kneeled in front of the Flame Demon City, and after walking a few hundred metres, his forehead was covered with blood.
Hui Gu was willing to be a slave or a dog, and this was something he repeated over and over again. He felt that he had no right to do anything, and could only act pitiful, the more pitiful, the better.
All of this had happened too suddenly, but Hui Gu had thought about it carefully before making this decision.
The leaders of the Temple of the Sky did not treat him as a person, and he was the one who took the blame and sent himself to his death. How could that be?
Since you can do this, I can do the same.
I, Hui Gu, am not a smart person, but I am a straightforward person. However, when a straightforward person like me becomes shameless, even I am scared.
