Chapter 1589

This is the place where the King of Yao lives and has breakfast, belonging to a relatively private space. He invited Bai Ziqi to come here for breakfast, which showed his intention of closeness. The King of Yao was already in the pavilion, and when the two sides met, there was another round of pleasantries.

The morning sun was rising, and the morning light was good, making the wrinkles and yellow spots on the King of Yao's face even more obvious. After not seeing him for a few years, Bai Ziqi found that his eyelids were drooping and his eyes were a bit cloudy.

He was already a standard old man.

The two didn't chat for long before a palace attendant announced that the regent had arrived.

Qingyang had arrived.

She had stayed in the palace last night and hadn't returned, but Qingyang had still changed into a set of clothes, a long dress of peach-pink, which set off her complexion very well, forming a sharp contrast with the King of Yao.

She smiled slightly at Bai Ziqi: "Envoy Bai."

Until yesterday, it had indeed been a long time since they last met, ever since she was driven away from Beijia.

In Lingxu City, Bai Ziqi had played a rival role with her; meeting again this time, their identities and statuses were already completely different.

There were no officials present today; Qingyang, an old hand in the officialdom, of course wouldn't show the slightest discomfort. But the King of Yao on the side was watching with great interest.

He had specially invited He Lingchuan to Tianshui City for his birthday just to embarrass Qingyang in public; now that Bai Ziqi, who was investigating the Elixir of Immortality case, had come, and it was also Bai Ziqi who had personally sent Qingyang to the prison, how could the King of Yao not invite Qingyang to be present?

Ready-made excitement, why not watch it if it's there?

But the look Qingyang cast at the King of Yao was quite gentle; not only did she not mind, but she was even somewhat indulgent.

If He Lingchuan were here to see her eyes, he would feel his back go numb, because he knew very well that Qingyang's magnanimity and not holding grudges had a major premise:

Who would hold a grudge against a dying person? That was the look of looking at a dead person.

Bai Ziqi saw it and was thoughtful.

The three of them had their own thoughts, and this meal had a special taste.

Last night's banquet was in public and only suitable for saying some polite words; the King of Yao only now asked about Bai Ziqi's itinerary and then said: "I didn't expect the Tiangong to attach such importance to this so-called Great Emperor of the Nine Netherworlds, even laboring Envoy Bai to make a trip."

These words were from the heart; he really didn't understand how a god could look up to such a character. In his view, Bai Ziqi's arrival on the Flash Gold Plain should have another important task, but he was just using this reason to fob him off.

Bai Ziqi heard his emotions but didn't explain, instead saying: "Prevention is better than cure; there's nothing wrong with that. I traveled through Flash Gold and often heard civilians discussing the Great Emperor of the Nine Netherworlds with full reverence, while the other gods on the plain couldn't even grab incense. So, what do you think of the Great Emperor of the Nine Netherworlds?"

Qingyang's eyes flashed slightly.

Bai Ziqi was ordered to investigate the Great Emperor of the Nine Netherworlds half a year ago. At that time, the Great Emperor of the Nine Netherworlds hadn't stirred up so much trouble and could only be considered as just emerging, yet he was already being targeted by a god? The Tiangong's reaction usually isn't this fast, let alone the Great Emperor of the Nine Netherworlds appearing on the Flash Gold Plain ten thousand miles away. Heh, she had long known that the Lord of Dou Yun didn't think much of Bai Ziqi, so was this guy sent out by someone to do this thankless task?

The King of Yao didn't know Bai Ziqi as well as Qingyang did, and upon hearing this, he immediately said: "What Great Emperor? He's just a rat hiding his head and showing his tail. If he dared to reveal his true body, the iron hooves of the Yao army could flatten his hiding place within half a month!"

He didn't deny the Great Emperor of the Nine Netherworlds' individual combat power; after all, the Great Emperor of the Nine Netherworlds had a record of killing Xue Zongwu in public. But the elites under this so-called "Great Emperor" were nothing more than those hundred-odd cavalrymen, and the others were unknown miscellaneous troops and fake troops; how could they compare with the regular army of the Yao Nation? Can wandering soldiers and scattered troops resist the state machine? This question itself is a joke.

Bai Ziqi said softly: "According to what I have seen along the way, the Great Emperor of the Nine Netherworlds has great plans on the plain. Does the King know his true intention?"

"Every once in a while, such delusional people always appear on the Flash Gold Plain," the King of Yao didn't care, "They rise fast and disappear fast, just like bubbles. What's the use of investigating his intention?"

Let the Great Emperor of the Nine Netherworlds toss and turn however he wants; anyway, he won't succeed.

If he fails, he is a weakling. Who would want to investigate the psychology of a weakling?

This kind of person, the Flash Gold Plain has seen too many. They come and go, and finally stain the land of the Flash Gold Plain with blood.

For the past two hundred years, only the Yao Nation has remained unmoved, sitting and watching the tide rise and fall.

Bai Ziqi smiled: "Have there been such figures on the Flash Gold Plain before, being passed down by everyone?"

"There have been," the King of Yao picked up the fragrant music drink and took a sip. The Yao people boil fragrant music powder, milk, and two or three kinds of herbs together, called "fragrant music drink," which tastes smooth and rich, and is very happy to drink, especially suitable for winter.

There are dozens of recipes for fragrant music drink, and the ones prepared have different flavors, some even adding a few drops of sweet wine. But the King of Yao actually likes the simplest one.

"Reverence is not necessarily true; their reputation is not as good as the Great Emperor of the Nine Netherworlds, but their popularity can exceed his. There are always such figures who streak across the Flash Gold Plain like comets, and finally fail in the wilderness for various reasons."

"What you are talking about, is it like the cannibal demon king Zhao Guangzhi?"

"Not only him," the King of Yao casually gave examples, "For example, the Ghost King of Xuan Lu was also a strong man who dominated the central and western parts of the Flash Gold Plain before his death; and the former owner of the Luo Sheng Jia, who defeated him, had already stirred up bloody storms for many years. Sigh, the appearance of such figures is a common occurrence on our Flash Gold Plain."

"Don't you think the Great Emperor of the Nine Netherworlds will be any different?" Bai Ziqi ate a piece of ice ba.

This is a secret cold drink in the Yao King's palace, which He Lingchuan had tasted several times when entering the palace, and the taste is similar to the ice cream in his memory. Sweet, soft, smooth, icy, refreshing, and melting in the mouth.

It can be seen that the Yao Nation not only has various herbs but even researched cream.

The King of Yao smiled: "Please enlighten me, Envoy Bai."

Facing a big figure from the Tiangong, he has such good patience.

Bai Ziqi looked at Qingyang and said: "The regent must have discovered it long ago, right?"

Qingyang held a spoon and gently blew the hot soup cool, while steadily saying: "The Great Emperor of the Nine Netherworlds is different from all the heroes of Flash Gold before; others want to expand their territory, but he is competing with the gods for faith!"

"Faith?" The King of Yao disagreed, "He is just a human and cannot bear incense; what does he want faith for?"

"Human? Are you sure he is really human?" Qingyang didn't lift her head, "How can a human draw out the Black Flood Dragon mark?"

"This doesn't mean he isn't human; perhaps he just borrowed the power of immortals and gods," the King of Yao raised his cup and took another sip, "There are many great demons on the Flash Gold Plain, and there are so many legends of immortals circulating."

Hearing this, Bai Ziqi glanced at him: "Speaking of immortals, I heard that your country also had contact with immortals in the past?"

"Can't talk about it, can't talk about it!" The King of Yao waved his hands repeatedly, "The former King once dreamed of an immortal. Dreams, after all, are not reality."

Bai Ziqi is a divine envoy of the Tiangong; the King of Yao doesn't want him to misunderstand.
