…
Taxis did not follow the dragons flying over the port. She lowered her height immediately when she saw Xia Fan, folded her wings, and landed steadily on the trestle.
After putting down Momola and Mu Li, she returned to her human form, walked up to Xia Fan, smiled and extended her hand to him.
Both sides hold each other together.
But she was not satisfied with this.
After shaking her hand, she pulled her hand, and Taxis hugged Xia Fan in full view of everyone. Then she touched the other person's cheek with her face and snickered, "This is the complete greeting etiquette."
The other dragons hovered in the air and roared at the same time, seemingly cheering for their leader.
Some are in obscure dragon language.
And some are dragon gods in the West Pole language.
There were already many overseas merchants in Jinxia Port, and they started shouting when they heard the dragons' voices.
—Although many of them had heard rumors about the Dragon God, this was the first time they saw him in person. Discussions and cheers filled the entire dock.
Of course, it also reached the ears of Yuheng Envoy.
She didn't understand the Xiji language, but she could understand the meaning of the word "Dragon God". After all, it was a term that appeared many times in the intelligence, and she specifically found someone to confirm it. Seeing this scene, even a dull person has realized that the overwhelming greetings on the scene are all directed to one person - Xia Fan. There are even people from Xiji who put one hand on their chest and saluted in the direction of Xia Fan.
"This man... is the Dragon God?" the guards murmured in disbelief.
This is undoubtedly another blow to their common sense.
If it is understandable that a wanderer from the Eastern Continent can be appreciated by Her Royal Highness the Princess and step by step become the chief minister second only to the king, then he has a relationship with Xiji, who is out of reach, and has also gained many dragons. The demon's support seems extremely incredible.
Chu Pu couldn't understand either.
But this did not prevent her from reading the eyes of the dragon demon woman.
Judging from the posture of the dragon group, this person is obviously the leader. The intimacy she showed with Xia Fan far exceeded normal diplomatic relations, and it was like long-lost partners meeting again. If two people reach this point, signing a contract or making an alliance through blood is no longer important, because these are all external means used to strengthen the relationship when mutual trust is insufficient.
Especially for individuals, feelings can sometimes even surpass interests.
At least she couldn't imagine that the Privy Council of Xu State could achieve such a scene.
"Seven Stars... Maybe it's time to end." Chu Pu looked towards the direction of Yongding City and rarely made any excuses.
"Sir..." The guard looked at her with a complicated expression, showing confusion and regret, but no comfort or encouragement.
Everyone is a Qi sensor, and they are all elites with outstanding abilities in the Privy Council.
There is no point in deceiving yourself blindly.
"Let's leave the port first. We are not the protagonists here." Yuheng envoy turned around and said. Compared with the arrival of the West Pole Mission, no one in the Seven Star Privy Council paid much attention to it. Xia Fan invited them over and just treated them as an audience. "I'll have a good talk with him when it's time to say goodbye."
The next day, Chu Pu met Xia Fan again at the Jinxia City official residence.
"Are you going back to Xu Country?" The other party handed him a cup of hot tea.
"Yes, my mission has been completed, and there is no point in staying any longer." Chu Pu said straightforwardly, "I have learned a lot these days. The war between the Privy Council and Qi Guo should indeed end."
Xia Fan raised his eyebrows, "If I understand correctly..."
"I will dissolve the Seven Star Privy Council." Chu Pu nodded.
"I thought you would hesitate for a while," Xia Fan said with some surprise, "After all, the Apocalypse Army has not yet completed the encirclement of Yongding City."
"If I hadn't come to Qiguo, I might have been lucky. But after seeing the situation here with my own eyes, it would be an ulterior motive to deny it." She took a sip of tea and continued, "The war had stopped for one day, and the battlefield A lot of people will die less if we go up. The Privy Council has forced many soldiers before, so there is no need to turn them all into nourishment for evil spirits."
"But I guess you have conditions."
"That's right." Chu Pu said bluntly, "I hope that you will no longer hold the Privy Council accountable for its past responsibilities and pardon all the alchemists who participated in the war. If someone must be held responsible for this, I am willing to bear all the punishment for defeat."
Xia Fan pondered for a moment, "First of all, you have to understand that the liquidation carried out by the Secretariat is never for revenge, but that the prisoners deserve what they deserve. I can guarantee that all the alchemists who surrendered in the Seven Star Privy Council will be pardoned, and generals in the war will not be punished. and soldiers, but those members of the Privy Council, aristocratic families, nobles, or ordinary criminals who have committed crimes against ordinary people will still be investigated by the Secretariat and tried based on the evidence."
"Where are their families?"
"It won't be involved."
"Can we also keep our family property and the like?"
"The pardoner is no different from ordinary people." Xia Fan affirmed.
"I need an agreement in writing."
"We can write one as a memo later."
Chu Pu breathed a sigh of relief.
She couldn't say much about the Privy Council in other parts of the Xu Kingdom, but the alchemists in Yongding City were quite disciplined. With this pardon, she was sure to convince other senior officials.
"Besides, I still have something I don't understand and want to ask."
"Tell me."
"Why did you become the Dragon God among the people of Xiji?" This question can be said to have been bothering Yu Hengshi. "Qi Guo's army is indeed powerful, but this kind of thing cannot be accomplished by force alone... "
"It's a long story." Xia Fan smiled, but briefly recounted his experience of going to the Holy Wing Islands and becoming friends with Taxis, "I was lucky enough to pass the test of climbing the Dragon Tower, and I helped them fight against the mage. power, that’s why these rumors came about. After all, the gods have fallen, and they need a new target to place their hopes on—although that is not necessary.”
It turns out that there is still such a thing!
Chu Pu suddenly realized. The other party has long been in contact with Xiji, but Qixing knows nothing about it. Although Xia Fan said it very briefly, she knew that the process would not be easy, and simple help would never be able to get such a rich reward. There must be other reasons for this. But that is no longer the point. The point is that Jin Xia really has the upper hand when it comes to exploring the outside world.
If this had been known earlier, would Qixing have the same chance
The answer is undoubtedly no.
Qixing has long regarded demons as enemies that threaten the alchemist's status, so how can it treat the demons in the West Pole with an equal and tolerant attitude? Among the several ultimate goals of the Privy Council, one is to eliminate monsters. In the early days of the war, they used this point to attack Xia Fan and Ning Wanjun. The difference in philosophy destined them to be unable to catch up with Xia Fan.
Chu Pu didn't want to question commonplace questions like whether demons can become one with humans. The topic changed, "There is one last thing I want to know. If the world is unified, what are you going to do?"
For a moment, she suddenly felt that the other person's eyes were much sharper.
