A person walked in quickly outside the door, wearing a dark red robe, embroidered with golden flying dragon patterns. It was King Red Cloud, the one with the green cloud above his head recently.
Tang Yue stood up from his seat, "I wonder why the king came here?" Hong Yu came over and stood beside him.
The king saw that the two people did not salute him, and he was used to it. Anyway, they were highly skilled monks, and their status was inherently more respected than ordinary mortals.
He sat on the main seat and said, "Please sit down, Yu'er and Brother Tang. I have something to discuss with you."
He waved to the waiters again, signaling them to go out. Talk about things that should not be spoken out.
Tang Yue and Hong Yu sat on chairs on both sides, listening to King Chiyun express his intention.
"Yu'er, it's been sixty years since you left home. This is the first time you've returned to the country. There are so many strangers between you and me, and I feel very uncomfortable."
< br>King Chiyun has spiritual roots and can practice Taoism. Although he has not been able to build a foundation, his life span has been much longer and he can maintain his appearance.
Hongyu didn't speak for a while, and Tang Yue knew that she was receiving the extra memories in her mind.
King Chiyun misunderstood, "Yu'er, I know that you are resentful of me because of your mother. You have never contacted your family in the past sixty years, and you don't like to see me now.
But I had no choice back then. Chiyun Country is not a powerful country. There are some things I have to make choices..."
Hongyu looked disdainful, "What you call a choice is to send goods to neighboring countries every day. They hooked up with beauties and punished their sick mother many times for them, which eventually led to her being seriously ill and dying? "
Tang Yue raised his eyebrows, there are such twists and turns?
King Chiyun looked embarrassed, "Those women were sent by powerful neighboring countries and powerful people, and the few people doted on them. It shows everyone's respect for these forces, otherwise they will find excuses to attack Chiyun Kingdom. "
"Do you know why the Queen Mother sent me to Zijin Gate? It is because of your personality that Chiyun Kingdom has become a piece of unattended fat meat, and anyone who likes it can bite you.
If you obey the advice of these forces, how can Chiyun Country be safe? "
"I know that I am not a qualified leader of the country. I am too cowardly to fight against these forces. I can only deal with them..."
The face of King Chiyun actually showed He looked pleading, hoping that his daughter could forgive him.
Such an attitude would only make Tang Yue laugh, but Hong Yu thought of the past and felt a little soft-hearted.
"Then you are a little soft-hearted today. Why are you here? I have promised you that I will marry you and go to Dayi to form an alliance on behalf of Chiyun. There are more things I can't do. ”
The lord of the country hurriedly said: "I thought that if I let you marry to the Kingdom of Dayi, I would be able to buy temporary peace. Now it seems that this is not the case.
You also know what happened recently... Dayi The envoys of the country are so humiliating. Even if you marry, they will not give up annexing Chiyun."
Hongyu was surprised, "You only know about this now?"
The king coughed awkwardly, "I was just lucky, and the prince tried his best to persuade Chiyun to make peace with Dayi. Over time, I listened to his words and called you back."
Now he doesn't dare to mention the expulsion of Hongyu from Zijinmen, for fear that she will be unhappy and turn around and leave.
Tang Yue saw that he had something to ask for, "Please tell me directly why the king came here today."
"Since Miss Tang said so, I will say it. , At that time, I thought that marriage with Dayi Country was a good way out, which could bring peace to the people of Chiyun.
After what happened yesterday, I didn’t think so. After Hongyu arrived in Dayi Country, I Chiyun loses a monk at the peak of distraction, and also loses a Yuanying monk like Miss Tang as an ally.
The marriage will do more harm than good. It is equivalent to breaking Chiyun's arm, but it will only become more powerful. It’s just convenient for Dayi to annex Chiyun.”
Tang Yue was surprised. King Chiyun’s words were inconsistent with his usual image of being mediocre and incompetent. Could it be that he was also pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger? "So now you want to refuse the marriage to Dayi Kingdom, can Princess Hongyu not get married?"
King Chiyun looked a little excited, "Actually, I can't decide whether Yu'er will stay or go... The prince is in charge of this matter.
80% of state affairs now fall to the prince. In my hand, the remaining 20% is irrelevant. In fact, I, the Red Cloud King, have ceased to exist in name only."
Tang Yue suddenly realized at this time that all his doubts were answered.
King Chiyun definitely didn’t really like the queen. He just showed Hong Yi a dull look so that the queen could cause trouble and increase her sense of presence.
"Father, do you want us to help you regain your power? This matter is too difficult for the two of us. Even if we can use force, we cannot convince others. In the end, it will only increase our reputation."
King Chiyun was anxious, "You must have something to do. In fact, it is better to be ignored by the prince. He is always the son of the widow and will not do anything to me.
But the widow is afraid of Chi. After Yun became a vassal state, the Dayi Congress found an excuse to kill me and destroy the Chiyun royal family.
By that time, the prince will definitely be able to escape due to his cultivation, but I have little moral ability. , he will definitely be killed.”
After a long time, King Chiyun was still afraid of death. The performance just now was his will to survive that stimulated his potential, and his mind became much clearer in an instant.
Hong Yu looked at Tang Yue and said that everything was up to her. She didn't understand the struggle for power among humans, so it would be bad to cause trouble by randomly agreeing. Although she sympathized with King Chiyun for her own reasons, she would never do it because of her own. The guilt hurt Tang Yue.
“What the king wants is to spend the rest of his life in peace and have a luxurious royal life. This is not impossible.”
King Chiyun’s eyes lit up, “ Whatever monk Tang wants, just say it, I can give it to you.”
“Now there is Dayi State coveting it outside, and the prince is controlling the court inside. The two of us are considered outsiders. Chiyun Country has no one to rely on.
So it is very risky for us to help you achieve your wish. We need your cooperation and even sacrifice to achieve this. ”
< br>When King Chiyun heard that she said there would be sacrifices, his expression turned pale, "What kind of sacrifices are they?"
"Except for Chiyun Kingdom, you can't give us anything useful, but we are not For the entire Chiyun Kingdom, we only hope to have absolute control over some matters.
I hope you can give the princess the position of national master and not refuse any request we make. We will ensure that these demands will not be excessive."
"How can I trust that you will not go too far?"
"You have no other choice but to trust us."
"If you can do it, I will agree to your request."
Tang Yue smiled, "It is empty talk. You need to make a contract with us before we will believe what you are saying. Really."
King Chiyun asked: "What will be the consequences if I violate the contract?"
Hongyu pointed to the sky, "I will be struck by thunder. "
The king was silent. He would not be able to practice to the foundation building stage in this life, let alone suffer the thunder tribulation that only occurs in the god transformation stage.
Originally, he wanted to deceive these two women into not knowing the dangers of the world, so he agreed first and would wait to see if he could fulfill it later.
Unexpectedly, Tang Yue directly took out the contract between the monks, so he had to think about it...
