Chapter 1340

Qingyang has been supervising the Yao Nation for more than half a year, so even officials who knew nothing about her originally know everything now. This one is not only the former Chief State Preceptor of Between Beijia but also a childhood sweetheart who grew up with the Demon Emperor!

To some extent, her words and deeds can indeed represent the Demon Emperor's will.

Some officials said: "The Boss Situ Allied Forces invaded Pixia territory, the war is not going well, and the progress is very slow. Helping Pixia from the side at this time is also fine."

The Yao King gave an 'en' and brought the topic back to the original government affairs.

He didn't want to talk, and the officials didn't mention Qingyang anymore.

The court meeting ended, and the officials retreated, leaving only Lord You behind.

After everyone else left, Lord You said bluntly: "King, we cannot send troops directly!"

"Overseer Qingyang believes that Boss Situ Yu's revenge will is firm, and he himself has the talent of a general; after the destruction of the Gaopu Nation, he showed his ability. Pixia's current advantage cannot be maintained for long, and eventually, it will be defeated by the Allied Forces. At that time, it will be difficult to save the situation even if we intervene, and the situation will be even more unfavorable." The Yao King asked him, "Overseer Qingyang has a seniority of nearly two hundred years after all, and I heard that she was also from the battlefield in her early years, with a sharp eye. You Rongzhi, what do you think?"

You Rongzhi pondered for a moment before saying: "It is better for our army to take action personally, which does more harm than good; it is better to assist from the side."

Everyone knows that the Yao Nation supports Pixia, but this layer of fig leaf should not be uncovered at will.

"What if Pixia is defeated?"

"We don't intervene; if Pixia is defeated, it is defeated, what does it have to do with the Yao Nation? These small nations around are born and die; if we intervene, if Pixia is still defeated, our country will be the one losing face!" You Rongzhi said frankly, "To ensure Pixia is not defeated, the Yao Nation can only be dragged into the quagmire, sinking deeper and deeper."

"More than 160 years ago, our country sent too many troops abroad, which led to the siege of the nine-way army. If it weren't for the defection of Luodian and the Ying tribe in the Battle of Lutai Mountain, and the appearance of the Luosheng Armor later, which took away a lot of pressure and hatred, it is hard to say whether the country's destiny could have continued to this day. The lessons of more than a hundred years ago are still there, and now the small nations around are even less friendly to us. My King must not be negligent!" Speaking of this, You Rongzhi sneered, "Between Beijia sending an Overseer here is to drag us into the mud to roll, not allowing us to stay out of it anymore. Overseer Qingyang's vision may be sharp, but she still serves her Demon Emperor!"

The Yao King nodded and gave a long 'en'.

What his confidant said, how could he not know?

You Rongzhi lowered his voice subconsciously: "I just got a piece of intelligence."

"Speak."

"A few days ago, the Pixia people sent eight carts of gifts to the Youhu Small Abode. The Pixia envoy also went in and stayed for an hour before coming out."

This is the Yao Nation; they cannot get close to Qingyang, but they can monitor her residence.

"Oh, they went to send gifts to Qingyang." Overseer Qingyang is temporarily living in the Youhu Small Abode, and the Yao King knows it very well, "They are all smart people, knowing who can speak and who can handle things."

At this moment, why did Pixia bribe Overseer Qingyang with heavy money? Isn't it hoping that the Yao Nation will increase aid and best take action directly? Recalling Overseer Qingyang's forcing of the palace just now, the Yao King smiled sarcastically: "Taking people's money to do things for people, this Qingyang is very trustworthy. Heh, taking my face, taking the safety of the Yao Nation, to talk about her credit!"

He let out a long breath: "In the past, Qin'er once wrote to me in Lingxu City, saying that the envoys sent by Between Beijia did not give any face to the rulers of the small nations under their rule, and even scolded them in public. Thirteen years ago, the ruler of the You Nation couldn't bear the scolding, and thinking that the two countries were far apart, he beheaded the envoy in public. As a result, Between Beijia sent troops five hundred miles to destroy You, and took the You King back to the country, locking him in a cattle pen for three years until he died of depression."

"Qin'er" is the eldest son he was beheaded in Lingxu City.

Compared to this, Overseer Qingyang is quite polite to the Yao King. You Rongzhi didn't know his implication and couldn't answer.

"Things are unpredictable. Qin'er is gone, but the culprit Qingyang is here to supervise me." The Yao King gave two 'hehe's, "Between Beijia is still that Between Beijia, always so vicious."

Sending the eldest son to Lingxu City is not only the tradition of the Yao Nation but also the requirement of Between Beijia. The Yao King really didn't expect to receive the bad news of his eldest son! The eldest son is different from other sons; he is cultivated as an heir, how much effort did he spend?

The culprit of the Elixir Case is exactly Qingyang, who once covered the sky in Lingxu City!

His eldest son was only listed on the public list of the Elixir Case.

God knows how long that list is, and how many names of wealthy and powerful families it records! What was announced to the public were just a few dozen victims pushed out.

His eldest son was one of the victims decided by Qingyang and the Demon Emperor!

Now, Qingyang is still alive and well, and can still come to find trouble with him, the bitter master, but his son died in Lingxu City for no reason! Where is the justice?

He asked You Rongzhi again: "Qingyang has been here for half a year, and some court officials have gone to flatter her, right?"

You Rongzhi hesitated: "This..."

"Don't cover for them; I know some people are looking for Qingyang to buy elixirs. You've heard of this, right?"

You Rongzhi said immediately: "Yes, there are a few."

"They are not satisfied with enjoying their old age in the Yao Nation, and still want to live for a few dozen more years!" When saying this, the Yao King forgot that he had also taken the elixir sent back by his eldest son. "Does Qingyang still do this business, did they buy it?"

"This, I heard that some people bought it. As for the specific quantity, I don't know."

The Yao King's heart moved: "Qingyang came here and wanted to clear the surrounding monsters; could it be related to her refining elixirs?"

After the Between Beijia Elixir Case was exposed, he also knew that one of the raw materials for refining was the pulp beads extracted from monster essence blood.

"This old woman was convicted in Between Beijia because of the elixir, but ran to me to resume her old business!"

You Rongzhi organized his language before saying slowly: "Between Beijia boasts of heavenly power, and no one dares to provoke it. The end of the You Nation is indeed unbearable. However, King—"

He said word by word: "We are not the You Nation, and Qingyang is not an ordinary envoy."

The Yao King's eyes flickered slightly.

"The You Nation is only five hundred miles away from Between Beijia, with few people and a weak country; we are more than ten thousand miles away from Between Beijia, and there are huge Mou Nations, Ya Nations, and countless small nations in between! It is not so easy for Between Beijia to send troops behind the Mou Nation." You Rongzhi analyzed, "If it could destroy our country with a flip of its hand, then it could have easily swallowed the Glittering Gold Plain long ago; why bother to deal with us hypocritically?"

Distance is the biggest problem.

"On the Glittering Gold Plain, we are the well-deserved strong nation!" You Rongzhi added, "As for Qingyang, she is just a convicted old woman who relies on the Demon Emperor's protection to preserve her life. She is sent to the Yao Nation, named as Overseer, but actually exiled. Even if we offend her, would Between Beijia really mobilize the masses for her?"

"I heard that after she fell, her opponent Shuangye became the first State Preceptor of Between Beijia. Heh, this old woman traveled across the ocean with a gray face, but is becoming more and more arrogant here!" The Yao King pressed the table.

Actually, which of these things You Rongzhi said didn't he know? And You Rongzhi also saw that the King's patience was reaching its limit, so he dared to make such a suggestion.

Nearly a year, Qingyang has been in the Yao Nation for nearly a year, becoming more and more powerful.

But he, the Yao King, is the master of the strong nation on the Glittering Gold Plain! A strong dragon does not suppress the local snake; blind tolerance will not lead to good results. The Yao Nation must make Qingyang understand the boundaries and sense of proportion! The Yao King thought for a while and suddenly remembered one thing: "By the way, it was mentioned in the court meeting that the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce wants to trade with our country?"

You Rongzhi said immediately: "It was Fan Shuang who went to negotiate. The owner of the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce is called He Xiao, who is his old friend in Lingxu City and also participated in the Elixir Case."

"Right, Elixir Case!" The Yao King said immediately, "Find Fan Shuang for me!"

Fan Shuang was about to leave the city, but was summoned into the palace by the Yao King's oral edict.

When he ran in, his back was soaked with sweat, but he couldn't hide his joy.

He finally waited for the opportunity to meet the King in the palace! Before, he only reported to Lord You for successfully connecting Yangshan, and had never seen the King's face.

Seeing Fan Shuang, the Yao King first gave him a seat and then asked about He He Lingchuan's role in the Elixir Case.

The eldest son died in Lingxu City, so the Yao King naturally sent people to inquire about the ins and outs of the Elixir Case. But He He Lingchuan, such a small person mixed in it, how would he pay attention to it before?

So, "Speak in detail, don't have a single omission."

"Yes." Fan Shuang calmed down and recounted He He Lingchuan's deeds in the Elixir Case.

It was not difficult to say, because He He Lingchuan was also a figure in Lingxu City back then, and his limelight was straight to Fushan Yue.

"Oh, was once a Chiyan envoy? The Elixir Case was opened by him?"

"Was assassinated twice in Lingxu City, and once the Lingxu Crown Prince did it himself?"

After listening to Fan Shuang, the Yao King clapped his hands: "Interesting, interesting, although the second half of the Elixir Case was not investigated by him personally. But he was able to leave Lingxu City alive, this person is not simple, hmm, really not simple!"

He knows better than anyone that the depths of power are a piece of darkness. A small commoner can safely escape from this bottomless abyss, and he must have his skills.

"I'm afraid He Xiao has other noble people helping him behind his back."

You Rongzhi said on the side: "People in Lingxu City all believe that the first assassination He Xiao encountered was related to the Green Palace. Fan Shuang, is that so?"

"Ah, yes... yes!" Fan Shuang is not a fool either; the King suddenly summoned him into the palace to ask about the Elixir Case, nine out of ten related to Overseer Qingyang.

He had also heard about the contradiction between the Royal Court and the Overseer in the court.

Fan Shuang's heart also jumped a few times; the more the King values He He Lingchuan, the more favorable it is for himself.

"Qingyang's failure started with the intervention of this He Xiao. It seems they have a grudge." The Yao King finally showed the first smile since the court meeting, "Fan Shuang, I give you a task, go to He Xiao again."

Fan Shuang was overjoyed: "Follow the King's order!"

Jucheng, Yangshan Chamber of Commerce.

He He Lingchuan picked up the intelligence from Feng County and took a look, laughing and crying:

"Nine Nether... Great Emperor? This title is too ugly. Who thought of it? Drag it out and behead it."
