Jinyin and Panzong saw me jumping off the horse and walking towards the knight, thinking that I was going to make trouble for him, so they immediately jumped off and followed aggressively. I hastened to tell them the truth through sound transmission, they were as surprised as I was, but they still followed me and walked over. I felt warm, knowing that they were afraid that I would be retaliated for offending the Demon Emperor.
The Demon Emperor raised his head, shot two rays of light from the back of his helmet and shot them directly at me, and a deep voice came into my ears, "Boy, you are cruel enough, if I hadn't recovered the ability of the four wings, you would be able to kill me this time!" cost me half my life."
I said awkwardly through voice transmission: "I'm really sorry, Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, I didn't do it on purpose, I don't know your identity."
The Demon Emperor jumped on a horse that was let out by a guard, and said via voice transmission: "Let's go first, and we'll talk about everything when we go back." He didn't reveal any emotion in his words, which made me even more uneasy. I don't know if his impression of me is right. It got worse.
With such a mood, we got on our horses again and followed Gu Chuan's team into the magic city.
After the Demon Emperor appeared, Mo Yue was extremely silent. I asked her through voice transmission several times what to do, but she shook her head at me and obediently followed the Demon Emperor without even replying to me.
Pan Zong and Jin Yin looked at the novel things around them with great interest, but I was not in the mood, and my eyes kept looking back and forth at the Demon Emperor and Mo Yue.
After riding slowly on the avenue of the magic capital for about half an hour, we came to the magnificent magic palace. Looking at the palace in front of me, which occupies almost a quarter of the area of the Demon City, I knew that I was about to face the Demon Emperor's trial.
After getting off the horse, we walked through the labyrinth-like road of the palace for a long time. Gu Chuan retreated to the left and right, and the Demon Emperor walked in first. Gu Chuan motioned for us to go in too. I'm not worried that the Demon Emperor will do me any harm. With the skills of our three brothers, it shouldn't be a big problem to rush out. What I worry about is whether the Demon Emperor will agree to my marriage with Mo Yue.
Entering the side hall, the Demon Emperor wasn't there. Thinking about it, he should have gone to change clothes. Gu Chuan said: "You guys wait here for a while, Your Majesty will come out in a while." After speaking, he also walked into the inner hall.
I quickly ran to Mo Yue and asked in a low voice: "Yue'er, I really didn't know he was your father just now. Did he tell you anything about me just now?"
Mo Yue shook her head, and also said in a low voice: "Father just scolded me a few words, I apologized to him for you, but he didn't say anything, he seems to be angry, it's going to be bad now, he will later Come out, you'd better not mention the marriage proposal, if you are rejected, it will be difficult in the future. Let's talk about it when he is in a better mood. "
What Mo Yue said made sense, I nodded and agreed.
Jin Chong smiled at me and said, "Fourth brother, you have offended your father-in-law now, let's see how you end up later, haha."
Pan Zong tugged at him, and said: "Okay, the fourth child is annoying enough, so don't make trouble. Fourth child, don't worry, the Demon Emperor shouldn't care too much about being the king of a clan. point."
What does it mean to want to open up? I didn't want to kill myself. It seems that they are not optimistic about the attitude of the Demon Emperor.
While we were thinking about each other, Gu Chuan's voice came: "His Majesty the Demon Emperor has arrived."
There was no guard coming in from the side hall. Gu Chuan walked in first. He changed into a Confucian uniform. Although he was no longer young, he still maintained the handsome and heroic appearance of a middle-aged man.
When the sound of footsteps came, I couldn't help becoming nervous. A man with a golden crown walked in, and Gu Chuan hurriedly bowed to salute. We all quickly lowered our heads. I took a peek, and only then did I see the appearance of the Demon Emperor. I saw that he was about 1.9 meters tall, with broad shoulders, a golden crown with eight treasures on his head, a white gold-rimmed brocade robe, and a wide belt around his waist. Looking up, he has a thin, long face, white and beardless, crouching silkworm eyebrows, and a pair of slender eyes shining brightly, staring at me for a moment. When I met his eyes, I quickly lowered my head again, and said loudly: "Lei Xiang, the commander-in-chief of the Beastman Army, has seen His Majesty the Demon Emperor." After speaking, I knelt down on both knees and saluted. Originally, because I am not a member of the demon clan, I could just kneel on one knee and give a half salute, but the demon emperor will be my father-in-law in the future, and I offended him just now, so it is better to give a big salute. Panzong and Jinyin just bowed slightly and saluted slightly.
The deep voice of the Demon Emperor came, "Commander Lei Xiang, please stand up, I can't bear such a big gift from you!" His voice was still devoid of any emotion, so I couldn't distinguish his happiness or anger. He stood up with his head down.
The Demon Emperor said: "Commander Lei Xiang, please stand aside with your partners first, I have to deal with the family affairs first."
I was taken aback, could it be that he wants to punish Yue'er, probably not, isn't Yue'er his favorite daughter? While thinking, I stood aside with Panzong and Jinyin.
The Demon Emperor turned his gaze to Mo Yue, and said: "Yue'er, you are so outrageous this time, you actually left a note for seven months, don't tell me, do you want me to die?"
Mo Yue stuck out her tongue with her head lowered, and said, "Father, don't be angry, Yue'er knows it's wrong. Didn't I just come back?"
The Demon Emperor snorted and said, "Tell me, where did you go after you left this time?"
Mo Yue's body shook, she glanced at me quickly, and said, "I, I went to the Dragon God Empire to play around, and then met Lei Xiang there, and then I came back."
The Demon Emperor turned to look at Ruilian, and asked, "Ruilian, where did you find her?"
Ruilian hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I met Her Royal Highness when I was preparing to carry out your task of besieging the elves."
The Demon Emperor nodded and said, "How is that matter going?"
Ruilian looked at Mo Yue, and mumbled, "Your Majesty, I..."
Mo Yue hurriedly said: "Father, how could you send someone to see such a beautiful forest? It's the settlement of the elves. I told Uncle Ruilian to stop."
The Demon Emperor was furious and said: "What? Do you know how short we are of wood now? If you don't cut down the forest, where do you ask me to get it? Nonsense, what a nonsense."
I took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty the Devil, if you want to cut down that forest, it will inevitably cause disputes with the elves. Although the number of elves is small now, they still have strong fighting power. Once a conflict occurs, I'm afraid It will bring a lot of losses to the demons, so don't blame Princess Moyue. She is also thinking about the soldiers of the demons!"
The Demon Emperor glared at me, and said to Mo Yue: "You girl, you are becoming more and more outrageous, from now on, you go to the Heavenly Demon Palace to face the wall, Gu Chuan, you take her there, and set up an enchantment on the outside No one is allowed to release her without my order."
Mo Yue looked at the Demon Emperor pitifully, and said angrily, "Father."
Gu Chuan said: "Your Majesty, I think it's better for Her Royal Highness to go back to her bedroom and reflect on herself. There is no need to face the wall so seriously."
The Demon Emperor snorted angrily, and said, "If I don't punish her this time, what if she disappears for me again? Where can I find her? Gu Chuan, do you want to disobey my order?"
Gu Chuan shook his head helplessly, and said, "I obey the order, Your Highness, please."
I hurried forward and said: "Your Majesty the Demon Emperor,..."
Before I could speak, the Demon Emperor angrily reprimanded: "Commander Lei Xiang, this is my family business, please don't interfere." He has already said so, and I can't fall out with him, I can only watch Mo Yue being led by Gu Chuan Let's go, didn't Mo Yue say that the Demon Emperor has a good temper? Why didn't I see it at all today.
Seeing Mo Yue left, the Demon Emperor said to Ruilian: "Ruilian, you go down first. Although you found the princess this time, you didn't carry out my order. For the time being, your merits and demerits will be equaled."
After Ruilian knelt down to thank him, he asked, "Your Majesty, what about the elves..."
The Demon Emperor waved his hands impatiently and said, "Take your subordinates back to your own station first, and wait for the order. Go down."
"Yes, Your Majesty. I will take your leave." Rui Lian bowed respectfully and left the side hall.
The Demon Emperor turned his gaze to me, "Commander Lei Xiang, I am very grateful to you for sending my daughter back this time. If you have any requests, feel free to ask." After finishing the business, the Demon Emperor's expression seemed a little gentler. Since he asked me to make the request, I'll do it now.
I bowed down and said, "Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, this is what my orc clan should do. I only have one request. This is my emperor's letterhead." As I spoke, I took out the letter written by the Beast Emperor from my bosom.
The Demon Emperor made a casual move, and the letter floated to him from my hand. He reached out to catch the letter, opened it and read it carefully. As he continued to read the contents, his face changed slightly, his brows were deeply furrowed, and after a while, he raised his head Come on, put the letter back into the envelope, and said to me: "The Beast Emperor said in the letter, do you want to marry my daughter?"
"Yes, Princess Moyue and I love each other, so I hope this marriage can strengthen the friendship between the noble and our clans. I hope you can agree." I will put a big hat on him first, not afraid that he will disagree. As long as he is a little more relaxed, I can take advantage of the victory and make him agree to my marriage with Yue'er.
The Demon Emperor sighed, and said: "Originally, the marriage with your beastman clan was often carried out in the past, but this time, I am afraid you will be disappointed. I have appointed Yue'er as my successor, and she can only be in the Please convey my apologies to the Beast Emperor for choosing a marriage partner in my royal family. If Commander Lei Xiang intends to marry, there are still many beautiful girls in my royal family for you to choose from."
I froze for a moment, I didn't expect him to reject me so clearly, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, I want Mo Yue, and I don't want anyone else."
The Demon Emperor's face darkened, and he said: "Commander Lei Xiang, please respect yourself, this is the Demon Race, not your beastman country."
I also felt that my tone was a little offended, and I quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, I lost my composure, but, Princess Moyue and I are in love with each other, why do you bother to break us up?"
A smile appeared on the Demon Emperor's face, he walked down from the main seat, walked to my side, and said: "Commander Lei Xiang, I think it's better for us to talk alone." Look at Panzong and Jinyin behind me.
Let's talk about it alone. Is this necessary? But for Yue'er, I have to fight anyway, since he is willing to talk to me, there is still hope, "Okay."
The Demon Emperor shouted: "Come here." Ten guards came in quickly from outside, knelt down collectively and said: "Your Majesty."
The Demon Emperor gave a gracious expression, and said, "You guys arrange the accommodation for these two distinguished guests, and treat them like a superior guest."
"Yes, Your Majesty. Two distinguished guests, please."
I rushed to Panzong and Jinyin, who were a little unwilling to leave me, and said separately: "Big Brother (Second Brother), you go with them first, I want to see what the Demon Emperor said, there should be no harm to me Something happened. I will find you guys as soon as I finish talking with him. After all, this is his territory, so be careful." Then Panzong and Jinyin left with the guards.
The Demon Emperor smiled slightly, and said, "If my guess is correct, they should be the wolf gods and snake gods in your orc kingdom."
I was stunned, and couldn't help admiring the wisdom of the Demon Emperor, "Yes, His Majesty the Demon Emperor, they are also my sworn elder brothers. Since both your country and ours are in the development stage, there is no use for us warriors." , came with me."
The Demon Emperor nodded, and said, "Follow me." As he spoke, he walked towards his seat. I followed him in a daze. The Demon Emperor walked up to the main seat, stretched out his hand and pressed the handle on the right a few times. underground road. The Demon Emperor went down first, I was not afraid that he would harm me, so I hurriedly followed, I don't know what the Demon Emperor did, the tunnel suddenly lit up, and the plywood above it automatically closed back to its original state after I got down , I took a closer look, and there were some unknown crystals on both sides, and the light was emitted from these crystals.
The Demon Emperor's pace was not fast, he kept walking, and it was enough time for a cup of tea before he stopped, stretched out his hand and pressed a few times under a spar on the wall next to him, the wall shook slightly, and gradually cracked a gap , the Demon Emperor walked in. When I walked into the crack, I was surprised to find that it was a gorgeously decorated room with everything in it, about 50 square meters, with a white carpet on the floor, a large desk on the left, and a large desk next to it. There are two hardwood bookshelves, and on the other side is a set of gorgeous leather sofas and coffee tables. There are several landscape paintings on the wall. It seems that this place should be a study room.
With a wave of his hand, the Demon Emperor closed the wall behind him. He took off his shoes and walked in. He turned to me and said, "Come on, this place is absolutely secret, and we can have a serious talk." I also took off my shoes. He took off his shoes and sat on the sofa with him. The Demon Emperor smiled and said, "Commander Lei Xiang, do you know why I brought you a stranger to such a secret place?"
I shook my head blankly? I really don't understand what he means.
The Demon Emperor smiled slightly and said: "Because I value you very much. The foundation of the orcs is too weak. You have the blood of our demon royal family. If you are willing to come and help me, I will provide you with the same amount. The status above. Our Demon Race has enough soldiers and food, and we can even use your ability."
He wants to bribe me? I shook my head and said: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, I'm not interested in power, and I don't want to lead troops to fight."
The Demon Emperor was stunned at first, then burst out laughing. I frowned and looked at him. After a long while, his laughter stopped, and two sharp rays of light shot out from his eyes to look at me, "As the commander-in-chief of the entire army of the orcs, you actually Tell me you don't want to fight, do you think I'm a fool? If you don't want to fight, what's going on with my Dunde province. Although we have now re-aligned with your orc clan, but at the beginning, you wiped out my clan Two hundred thousand troops, that's not a small number." There was a slight chill in his words.
Hearing what he said, the arrogance in my heart suddenly surged up, my face changed, and I said: "Don't you still want to trouble me, I'm afraid I may not be trapped here."
The Demon Emperor leaned his body on the soft sofa and said: "Really? I know you have the ability to transform into a fallen angel with four wings, but there are so many traps here, I'm afraid you can't get out. When I was in the side hall, I once As I said before, this is the demon clan, not your beastman country, and some things are not something you can take for granted. Take a step back, even if you can break out of here, what about your two elder brothers? No matter how powerful they are, I'm afraid I won't be able to break through my clan's thousands of troops. Besides, if you and I get into an argument, do you think Yue'er will marry you?"
There was a cold light in my eyes, and I said: "Then what do you want, the Beast Emperor is kind to me, and I have already sworn that I will never betray him."
The Demon Emperor was not offended by my words, he glanced at me, smiled and said: "The Beast Emperor has such a loyal subordinate like you, I am both envious and jealous, Lei Xiang, if you want to marry Yue'er, yes. But I only have one condition, that is, you want to join our Demon Race."
He didn't say that I would never join the Demon Race, I said coldly: "Don't think about it, I will never join your Demon Race, although I have the blood of the Demon Race, my position will never change. "
The Demon Emperor stood up and turned to look at the landscape painting on the wall. If I attack him with all my strength now, if he hasn't transformed, I'm 80% sure that I can kill him. But he is Yue'er's father after all, although the talk has become very stiff now, but I still have a glimmer of hope. So, I didn't do that.
The Demon Emperor turned his back to me and said: "Lei Xiang! You also have to think about my difficulties. I have already appointed Yue'er as my successor. If she marries you, she will definitely not be able to become a new generation of Demon Emperor. What do you want me to do?" Well, to be honest, there is almost no one in the royal family that I can trust except for Yue'er and Gu Chuan, and Gu Chuan's age is similar to mine, so he will definitely not be able to inherit this position, so my hope is all on Yue'er If Yue'er follows you, our demon clan will die in the middle way, and there will be no successors. If you join our demon clan, I can not only betroth Yue'er to you, but also after a hundred years, Pass the throne to you."
What shocked me the most was the last sentence, the Demon Emperor was willing to pass on the supreme rulership of the Demon Race to me, an outsider, which is incredible.
The Demon King turned around, looked at me who was surprised, and said, "Why, are you surprised? This is nothing. Our Demon Race is different from your Beastman Kingdom and the Dragon God Empire of humans. Only strength can prove everything. You yourself With the blood of my royal family and the ability to transform into a four-winged fallen angel, I am sure that the common people will accept you. Is my condition generous enough? Pass it on to you."
I secretly circulated the dark magic power in my body to make my mind clearer, and said with concentration: "Yes, Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, your conditions are indeed too generous, but you have misread my character. I have no respect for power. Desire, my current wish is to go into seclusion with my beloved. You better not embarrass me."
The Demon Emperor said angrily: "Why are you so stubborn, I can tell you clearly now, unless you agree to my request, otherwise, I will never marry Yue'er to you."
I smiled wryly and said, "Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, I am actually not as capable as you imagined. Many things in the past were luck. Never lead troops to attack the demons, if your demons have any difficulties, I can help, how about it?"
The Demon Emperor looked at me with flickering eyes, "Boy, it seems that it is difficult for me to persuade you to join the Demon Race. Let's go, I will send you out, I hope you will reconsider my proposal."
Seeing that he didn't explicitly reject me, I was overjoyed, there is always hope.
The Demon Emperor took me out of the secret passage and ordered his subordinates to arrange a place for me. A few guards took me to an abode in the magic palace, where Panzong and Jinyin were chatting about something in the courtyard. As soon as he saw me, Pan Zong asked, "How about it, fourth child, has the Demon Emperor agreed?"
I shook my head and said, "He wants me to join the Demon Race. Otherwise, he won't betroth Yue'er to me."
Pan Zong was stunned, and said, "Join the Demon Race? Isn't he afraid of falling out with our beastman country because of this?"
"Well, I didn't agree. He said let me think about it. I don't know what to do now."
Jin smiled and said, "Fourth Brother, you have become a favorite now, and everyone is rushing to get you."
I smiled wryly and said, "Second Brother, don't make fun of me."
At this moment, the guard at the door shouted: "Master Gu Chuan is here." Gu Chuan is here, does the Demon Emperor want to send him to persuade me again
Gu Chuan walked in wearing a Confucian uniform. When he saw me, he laughed and said, "Lei Xiang, I'm so happy to see you coming back from the Dragon God Empire safely!"
I smiled and said, "Uncle Gu Chuan, why are you here, please come inside." I let Gu Chuan into the living room of the Abode, and everyone sat down as guests and hosts.
Gu Chuan said: "I just heard from His Majesty that you came this time to propose marriage to him, right?"
I nodded and said: "Yes, Princess Moyue and I are in love, so I want to marry her, but His Majesty the Demon Emperor didn't agree. The weight is the most important, you have to help me." After all, I have saved his life, and now that we are in different places, if we can pull a common front, the chance of success will be much higher.
Gu Chuan frowned and said: "Your Majesty seems to have some opinions on you. I asked him, and he doesn't seem to want to marry the princess to you. By the way, what happened to that colorful glow?"
I looked at Jinyin and Panzong, and sighed: "Don't mention it, I almost collapsed in the Dragon God Empire. There was nothing special in the multicolored glow. The members of the Holy Dragon Knights all went away, and they were all dragons." Cavaliers, their strength can only be described as terrifying. How could I be their opponent? After a few fights, I was arrested and returned to their headquarters. Later, I managed to find a chance to escape. Now that I mention it, I I still have lingering fears." I wouldn't be so stupid as to say that I got the inheritance of the Mad God, in that case, I'm afraid the Demon Emperor will be more determined to win over me.
Gu Chuan's eyes were filled with confusion, apparently recalling the fight with Li Feng back then, and said dejectedly: "Yeah, those guys are too perverted, it's good if they can come back, the Dragon God Empire has now announced that the Holy Dragon Knights are the number one protector of the country." One legion, with them here, the Dragon God Empire is monolithic, and we don't even have the slightest desire to go to war now. Is their leader the one in the legend?"
I nodded and said: "That's right, their leader is exactly the patron saint of light you mentioned—Tian Yun, but he is no longer a great magister, but a holy magister. I can't see how powerful he is." Powerful." I'm telling the truth, maybe, after I have cultivated the Mad God Art to the tenth level, I will be able to fight against Tian Yun.
Gu Chuan said: "What does His Majesty the Beast Emperor think about this matter?"
"How else can I look at it? It's nothing more than maintaining health, developing production, and making the beastman country stronger as soon as possible. Experts are not so easy to cultivate. Even if you and I add up, there are not half as many experts as others. Uncle Gu Chuan, in fact, now The situation is not necessarily a bad thing. The Dragon God Empire did not capture the hearts of our two countries. As long as we don't do anything, the mainland will definitely be able to maintain a balance for a period of time. In this way, the civilians of the three races will benefit the most. There is no need to fight. What a beautiful thing!"
Gu Chuan looked at me blankly, and said with a broken smile, "You boy, why are you thinking so much differently from when we met last time? Judging from your tone, it seems that you don't want to do any more important things."
I smiled wryly and said: "Is there any big thing to do? What I want to do most now is to find a place to hide with the girl I love. This is the wish in my heart."
Gu Chuan said: "Didn't you tell me that you wanted to become a peerless powerhouse?"
I nodded, with two cold lights in my eyes, "Yes, I want to become a peerless powerhouse, and I have been working hard towards this goal. I think, except for a few people on the mainland, there are probably not many people who are My opponent."
Under my astonishing aura, Gu Chuan unknowingly raised the Heavenly Demon Arts, a faint black mist emanated from his body, and said with a wry smile: "Just now you said you were honest, you became crazy again."
I withdrew my momentum and said: "Uncle Gu Chuan, you must help me persuade the Demon Emperor more. I promise, Mo Yue will never suffer any grievances after following me, and I will not let her suffer any harm. Yue'er and I Even if the Demon Emperor succeeds in tearing us apart, I am afraid she will not be a female Demon Empress again."
Gu Chuan sighed, stood up and said, "Okay, I will try my best. You have come from a long way, rest well, Your Majesty asked me to tell you that I will officially receive you when I go to court tomorrow."
I sent Gu Chuan out of the abode, said a few more polite words, and watched his back disappear before returning to the living room.
Jin complained: "It's really boring, these guys are too rigid, our fourth son is the son-in-law of his demon emperor, it's taking advantage of him, and he's picky."
Yindao: "That's right, I thought the demons had something to play with, but this is great. I didn't succeed in anything, and I let a group of guards guard here. Fourth, why don't we go out and grab Mo Yue back?" My sister can go back to the orc, so I don’t need to be angry here.”
Pan Zong said angrily: "You two, don't make trouble, if things are as simple as you said, would the fourth brother still be so troublesome?"
I said to Jinyin: "Second Brother, Second Sister, I'm really sorry to make you so bored. How about this, when we go back, I will accompany you all around the Demon Race, and then go back to the Beastman Country, how about it? Now, We can only take one step at a time, I represent not only myself, but also the envoy of the Beastman Kingdom, in order to reduce the war, no matter how wronged I am, I can’t use force casually.” When it comes to using force, my heart moves, although I can’t use force, but I can always find an opportunity to show my strength and intimidate the Demon Emperor. In this way, there may be unexpected effects. Thinking of this, I couldn't help showing a smile on the corner of my mouth.
…
Demon Palace, Heavenly Demon Palace.
The Heavenly Demon Palace is the place where the Demon Emperor usually practiced the Heavenly Demon Art. It covers a large area, and except for a few people, very few people can enter here. In the center of the Heavenly Demon Palace, in the center of a square open space with an area of several thousand square meters, stood the Demon Emperor and his daughter Mo Yue.
"Dad, I know I was wrong, so just let me out."
"No, you know it's wrong? Why didn't I see it, you should honestly reflect on me here."
Mo Yue pouted, and said, "No, I'm going to find Lei Xiang." These days, she had been with her beloved one, but this sudden separation made her heart feel empty.
The Demon Emperor said seriously: "Yue'er, let me ask you, what's the matter between you and that kid Lei Xiang, today, he has already proposed marriage to me."
Mo Yue's eyes lit up, and she said, "Then did you agree?"
The Demon Emperor said: "Of course I didn't agree, you are my daughter, how can you marry as soon as you say you want to marry, you really like that kid?"
Mo Yue blushed slightly, and said in a low voice: "Yes, I really like him, so you should agree to his marriage proposal."
The Demon Emperor snorted coldly, and said: "Lei Xiang is indeed a talent, and you are not wronged to marry him, but this kid is too ungrateful, so he just refuses to allow me to join the Demon Clan, hmph."
Mo Yue was startled, and anxiously said: "What? You want him to join the Demon Race? How is that possible? The Beast Emperor treats him very well, so he will definitely not agree. Dad, don't make things difficult for him."
The Demon Emperor glared at her, and said: "Girls are really extroverted. If you have a man, you don't need a father."
