In the evening.
When Prince Duan, with a gloomy face, was about to take Dayan to greet the team as they left, Gray just happened to walk out of the restaurant with his men, reeking of alcohol.
"Prince Duan, long time no see."
Gray smiled and took the initiative to greet him.
Prince Duan paused.
His face, which was originally gloomy, instantly showed a bright smile again, and he bowed and said, "Prince Gray, long time no see."
Then he said with a fake smile: "Prince, are you full?"
Gray laughed when he heard this: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was really hungry after traveling all the way, so I couldn't help but go in to fill my stomach first. If I knew that Your Majesty was waiting here in person, I would definitely not dare to enjoy it upstairs alone."
Nangong Ke said with a smile on his face: "It's okay, it's okay. It's my fault for not hosting you well. Your Highness, please."
Gray looked at him, then looked at the other officials of Dayan, then smiled and got into the carriage with him.
The carriage slowly drove away.
The guards of the Mongol Empire immediately followed behind in an orderly formation.
The people watching from all sides were still talking about it.
The carriage quickly entered the palace and stopped in front of the gate of Weiyang Palace.
Two rows of palace guards stood in front of the door, all of them were tall women wearing silver armor and holding short swords.
These women had grim faces and exuded a chilling aura. If one could see with the spirit, one could clearly see that their entire bodies were enveloped in a powerful cloud of energy and blood, as if they were wrapped in burning flames.
This is something that can only be developed after experiencing countless life and death trials on the battlefield.
As soon as some soul-cultivating guards of the Great Mongol Empire approached, their souls trembled and they couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.
Prince Gray got off the carriage, took a look at the female guards, and couldn't help but smile: "I've heard that Her Majesty the Queen has a 5,000-female guard team, all of whom are physical warriors, and each of them is extraordinary. Now it seems that their reputation is well-deserved."
Prince Duan smiled and said, "We cannot compare with the guards of His Royal Highness the Prince."
At this point, he glanced at the practitioners of the Great Mongol Empire and said with a smile, "Your Highness, I am truly sorry. These are all important officials of Great Yan. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, you can only enter the palace with ten guards."
The muscular man named Guo Ke'er sneered and said sarcastically, "You have thousands of guards in the Great Yan Palace, are you afraid of a few of us?"
Prince Duan smiled and said, "I remember when Marquis Linjiang went to your Great Mongolia and entered the tent to pay homage to your Khan, he did not bring anyone with him. Could it be that at that time, your Great Mongolian army of hundreds of thousands was afraid of the few hundred people Marquis Linjiang brought with him?"
As soon as these words came out, a cold light flashed in Guo Keer's eyes.
The other guards of the Mongol Empire also looked gloomy.
There was silence for a moment.
Gray smiled and said, "Let's go. Don't keep Her Majesty the Queen waiting for too long. Guo Ke'er, Meng Di, the rest of you come in with me."
After saying that, he turned his head and glanced at the two young men behind him.
Although the two young men were wearing the clothes of the Mongol Empire, their appearances were obviously different from those of the people of the Mongol Empire.
The two followed behind.
Prince Duan still had a smile on his face as he led them into the palace.
In the main hall.
Nangong Huoyue, dressed in a fiery red dragon robe, still sat upright on the dragon throne on the high platform, with a majestic and cold expression on his face.
All the court officials in the hall had cold expressions on their faces.
Gray walked into the hall with his head held high, crossed his arms across his chest, and said with his head slightly lowered, "Gray, the fifth prince of the Great Mongol Empire, greets His Majesty. I wish His Majesty a long life, long live, long live!"
Nangong Huoyue paused for a moment, then said calmly, "Your Highness, please do not be polite."
Gray raised his head, stared at it unscrupulously for a few times, and said with a smile: "I am late, and I have kept Your Majesty waiting for a long time. It is really because the Great Yan Capital is too prosperous and the food is too tempting. I forgot the time for a moment. I hope Your Majesty will not blame me."
Nangong Huoyue said calmly, "It's alright. Your Highness, are you here to discuss the trade in the northern border with our Great Yan?"
Gray smiled and said, "That's right. But besides this matter, Xiao Wang has other tasks."
"oh?"
Nangong Huoyue's face remained calm.
Gray did not continue speaking immediately, but looked around and said with a smile on his face: "I heard that your majesty married a disciple of your country's Lingxiao Sect. I wonder if I can meet that lucky person."
At this point, he suddenly sighed, and said with regret: "When I came to Dayan, I originally wanted to propose marriage to Your Majesty, but I was obstructed and returned empty-handed. I never thought that the eldest princess would suddenly ascend the throne and become Your Majesty. Whenever I think of this, I feel extremely regretful."
Nangong Huoyue narrowed her eyes and said, "Your Highness, let's talk about business."
Gray bowed and smiled, "Your Majesty, I just want to pay a visit to Mr. Chu. Although I have already appreciated his style, I have not yet formally met him. I feel a little regretful."
At this time, Prince Duan Nangong Ke said with a smile on his face: "Your Highness, Master Chu is busy and cannot come out to see guests for the time being. Let's discuss the North Border trade first."
Gray's smile faded slightly. He paused, smiled faintly, and said, "Okay, let's discuss the North Territory trade first."
As he said this, he clapped his hands.
A guard behind him immediately took out a parchment scroll and handed it to him respectfully.
Gray took it in his hand, unfolded it and took a look at it, then presented it with one hand and looked at the Great Yan Queen on the high platform and said, "Your Majesty, you can take a look first. This is the trade treaty listed by my Great Mongolia. There are a total of 22 articles. Each article has been discussed by my Great Mongolian officials and confirmed by the Khan."
Prince Duan took it, flipped through it, lowered his head and walked up the stairs.
Yuewu walked out from the Queen's side, took it with both hands, walked respectfully to the Queen, and slowly unfolded it.
Nangong Huoyue sat upright on the dragon chair, reading calmly.
There was complete silence in the hall.
Gray raised his head and looked up without any hesitation, with the corner of his mouth curled up.
After a moment.
After reading it, Nangong Huoyue said calmly, "Take it to show the Prime Minister and Prince Duan."
There was no expression of emotion on her dignified and pretty face.
Yuewu took the parchment scroll away and gave it to Prime Minister Fan Wenjin first.
Fan Wenjin took it and immediately opened it and started reading.
Soon, a hint of anger appeared in his eyes and he continued to look behind him.
After he finished reading it, he was so angry that his face turned red. He couldn't help but said angrily: "How unreasonable! This is too much!"
Prince Duan, who was standing next to him, immediately took it and read it without saying a word.
Fan Wenjin said angrily: "Of the twenty-two items above, at least nineteen are unequal and infringe upon the interests of our Great Yan. We will never agree to them!"
Gray looked at him and smiled calmly: "Prime Minister, don't be angry. We can discuss some treaties. Of course, as to whether it can be changed, I still need to go back and ask my Khan. In fact, it would be best if we can sign it directly this time, so that my Mongolian army won't have to wait at the border."
Ruyang Hou's face was gloomy and he asked, "Your Highness, are you threatening me, Da Yan?"
Gray laughed and said, "My Lord, you are joking. I am just stating the truth."
After reading the treaty, Prince Duan handed it to Marquis Ruyang and said, "Show it to the other ministers."
Marquis Ruyang took it and looked at it with a gloomy expression.
After a while, all the ministers of Dayan were angry and excited.
"Absolutely impossible! He actually wants us to demolish Tongyuan Pass to build a trade city. That is the life and death pass of our northern border! If it is demolished, his Dameng cavalry will march straight in without any hindrance if they have ill intentions!"
"Since it is trade, we should treat each other equally! Why do you charge so much tax when our products enter your Meng, but we are not allowed to collect tax when your Meng products enter our Yan? This is unreasonable!"
"Tea, silk, salt, are these traded? This is tribute to you! You are robbing!"
After reading the treaty, all the ministers of Dayan were furious.
Gray looked calm, looking up at the platform and said, "Your Majesty, what do you think? If there are any changes that need to be made, please let us know and we can discuss it."
Nangong Huoyue looked at him calmly and said directly: "There is no need to waste time discussing. I will not agree to any of these treaties."
Then he stood up and said calmly, "Your Highness, if you have nothing else to do, please go downstairs and have your meal. I am feeling a little unwell today, so I will not stay with you any longer."
Everyone in the Mongol Empire looked cold.
Gray smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please don't worry. I just said that I have another mission this time. This mission happens to be related to your Majesty's husband, Mr. Chu."
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall suddenly fell silent.
Nangong Huoyue stopped and looked at him coldly without saying a word.
Gray took out a message card, which flashed with light and showed some dense characters. He then said, "Your Majesty, this is the news from Piao Miao Xian Zong in Da Yan Mo City. Back then in Mo City, more than ten elders and hundreds of disciples of Piao Miao Xian Zong were massacred. Although they found out that it was the work of the demon race, they finally found some news that there might be spies among our human cultivators, colluding with the demon race inside and outside to massacre their own kind..."
Nangong Huoyue's expression did not change at all, and she said calmly: "What does that have to do with my husband? Could it be that they think that the spy is my husband?"
Gray smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, don't be nervous. I am just delivering a message. Piao Miao Xian Zong wants that Mr. Chu to come out so that we can check him on the spot."
Nangong Huoyue's face suddenly turned cold, and the fiery red dragon robe on her body fluttered without wind. She said coldly, "How dare you! He is my husband, a prince of Great Yan who is second only to the emperor! He is not a commoner of Great Meng who you can bully! If you have evidence, show it to me. If you don't, get out!"
When she said the last word, a scarlet flame mark suddenly flashed in the middle of her brow, and her long hair moved without wind.
At the same time, it felt like a fire was burning inside the body.
At this moment, her face suddenly turned pale and her stomach ached slightly.
Gray Tong Kong shrank back, the smile on his face disappeared, and he said coldly: "Speaking of evidence, Piaomiao Xianzong does have evidence to prove that Mr. Chu was present at the time, and he left safely."
Prince Duan Nangong Ke asked coldly: "Do you have any evidence to prove that our King Chu is a spy?"
Gray looked at him and said coldly, "That's not the case. However, since Piaomiao Xianzong thinks that Mr. Chu is suspicious, then they will definitely not let him go. Xiao Wang thinks that he should come out and let us check him, so that we can clear his suspicion and avoid misunderstandings."
Nangong Ke sneered and said, "Prince Gray, I was walking with you just now, and suddenly I found a piece of silver missing. I wonder if Your Highness would let me search it carefully? Don't worry, I will just search the whole body, not other places."
As soon as these words came out, the Dameng guards immediately shouted angrily: "How dare you!"
Gray's eyes flashed coldly, and he said, "Prince Duan, this is the intention of the Piao Miao Immortal Sect. If that Master Chu doesn't come out, it will be difficult for me to report back."
Ruyang Hou said coldly: "That is your own business. How can I, the Prince of Dayan, your Majesty's husband, allow you to bully me at will?"
Both sides glared at each other, with swords drawn.
Gray suddenly sneered and said, "It seems that the two tasks that Xiao Wang brought here today cannot be completed."
As he spoke, he looked up at the platform and said, "Your Majesty, since your husband is guilty and dares not come out, I will tell the Piao Miao Immortal Sect the truth about this matter. As for the border trade, since Your Majesty is unwilling, I will return to the border and inform Marshal Temu of the Great Mongolia."
"If Marshal Tiemu cannot control the 200,000 cavalrymen at the border, then it cannot be blamed on the prince."
"Goodbye!"
After saying this, he smiled grimly, bowed, and turned away.
The burly man named Guo Ke'er who followed behind him also looked up at the empress on the high platform and said with a sneer, "A woman who has ascended the throne is indeed prone to acting on her emotions. It seems that Da Yan is not far from being destroyed."
Then he grinned and said deliberately: "Your Highness, it's a pity that you didn't get to be a couple with Her Majesty the Queen. However, when my Great Mongolian army enters the country, you will still have a chance."
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared at the door.
Gray Tong Kong shrank and stopped where he was.
Guo Ke'er and the other guards also stopped and looked towards the door vigilantly.
On the high platform, Nangong Huoyue looked at the figure at the door, stunned for a moment, and his cold eyes and majestic demeanor gradually softened.
She sat back on the dragon throne, her hands unconsciously placed on her stomach, and the fire in her heart gradually subsided.
Prince Duan, Marquis Ruyang, and other court officials of Dayan also turned their heads and looked towards the door.
Luo Qingzhou walked in from the door, stopped in front of Gray, and said, "Your Highness, do you want to check me?"
Gray's eyes sparkled, and a smile appeared on his face: "Mr. Chu really couldn't help but come out. Very good. A real man shouldn't hide behind a woman in fear. Don't worry, we are just checking casually. If there is no result, Xiao Wang will apologize in person."
Luo Qingzhou looked at him calmly and said, "I can check it, but I want to perform a show first."
"oh?"
Gray was stunned when he heard this, and narrowed his eyes and asked, "What show?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Blast the brain with your fist."
After saying that, his figure suddenly flashed, and he instantly appeared in front of the burly man named Guo Keer and grabbed his neck!
Gray's face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly drew his sword and turned around.
The other guards behind him all changed their expressions and hurriedly took out their weapons, with protective light shields instantly lighting up on their bodies!
"How dare you, kid!"
The guards shouted angrily.
All the officials of Dayan were also shocked.
Guo Ke'er, who was strangled by Luo Qingzhou, was shocked and angry. She widened her eyes, stretched out her hands, and her muscles trembled. She tried desperately to break free, but she seemed to be held by a terrible iron hoop and could not move at all.
At the same time, the bones in his neck seemed to be crushed, making a crackling sound.
Gray raised his knife and shouted angrily: "Let go!"
"boom!"
A loud bang!
The golden fist light, accompanied by red lightning, instantly smashed heavily on Guo Keer's head with a tremendous force.
This muscular and strong Mongolian warrior had no power to resist at all. His head exploded in an instant, his brains splattered, and he died!
“Bang!”
Luo Qingzhou let go of his hand and threw him to the ground.
The headless corpse fell to the ground with its feet, blood gushing out. It swayed on the ground for a few times before falling stiffly to the ground.
Luo Qingzhou turned his head and looked at the frightened and angry Prince Dameng behind him, holding a knife. His face remained calm as before: "Your Highness, how about this show?"
At this moment, a vague shadow suddenly flew out from the place where blood was spurting out of the headless corpse.
However, before it could escape, Luo Qingzhou reached out and grabbed its neck again without even looking back at it.
"Your Highness! Save me! Save me—"
The phantom let out a shrill and desperate wail.
But as soon as the voice fell, with a "puff" sound, Luo Qingzhou crushed it to pieces in an instant, and then there was a flash of lightning, and the soul flew away and turned into ashes!
From then on, even the last glimmer of life of this great Mongolian warrior was snuffed out.
Everyone in the Great Mongol Empire was pale, shocked and angry.
All the ministers of Dayan were also dumbfounded.
Prince Duan, who was originally preparing to come over to mediate the fight, had somehow hidden behind a pillar not far away, trembling with fear.
On the high platform.
Nangong Huoyue sat upright on the dragon throne, her expression still calm, but her eyes were shining brightly.
Prince Grey had an unsightly expression on his face. He held the knife in his hand, but seemed afraid to drop it.
Because the strength of the young man in front of him seemed unfathomable!
"presumptuous!"
At this time, two young men suddenly stood up from among the Dameng guards, took out their jade cards, and said gloomily, "We are from the Piao Miao Xian Sect..."
"boom!"
Before he could finish his words, a huge fist suddenly came with terrifying power and lightning, and instantly hit one of the men, smashing his chest and knocking him away.
The other man opened his mouth, then his face changed drastically. Just as he was about to step back, a hand suddenly stretched out from the void and grabbed his neck.
In an instant, he felt all the strength in his body being drained away, and his feet were lifted off the ground.
His eyes widened, his mouth opened, and a sound of fear and despair came from his throat. His upper and lower lips trembled constantly, and he no longer had the domineering aura he had when he took out the jade card.
"Disciples of Piao Miao Xian Zong? That's right, I want to kill a few more."
Luo Qingzhou said this calmly, and then with a "click" sound, his throat was crushed.
Then he threw him into the air and punched him suddenly. With a loud bang, his entire body and the soul inside were turned into a cloud of blood mist that scattered all over the sky!
At this moment, the entire hall was silent.
The guards of the Mongol Empire, who had just been shouting angrily, were all pale and frightened at this moment.
