I really don't want to be a traitor

Chapter 538 Promise, Agreement

The ice sculptures melted.

The three great marquises of the Great Zhou Dynasty finally recovered after a month of careful treatment by Jade God Son.

"Prime Minister, we are incompetent and failed to help you defeat the enemy. We deserve death!"

Jiang Huanchu, E Chongyu and Chong Heihu all knelt down before Jiang Ziya, their faces filled with shame.

They are the marquises of the Celestial Empire and the rulers of a certain fairyland, and have been famous for a long time.

This time when he came to the mortal world, he was 'killed instantly' by the emperor of the human world, which was a complete loss of face!

Even though the immortal's [Tao] was suppressed in the mortal world and could not exert its full strength, it was still a complete defeat in the end!
"Ugh!"

Jiang Ziya sighed and helped the three great dukes up.

"Victory and defeat are common in the military. I have not been able to subdue the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty either. How can I have the nerve to blame you?"

“This is also the number of days.”

"In order to prevent the immortals from descending to the mortal world and disrupting the order of the mortal world, the heavens have their own power to suppress them."

"I underestimated the people of the world and went down to the lower world without adequate preparation."

"If I had known this, I would have just borrowed Taoist Lu Ya's True Immortal Slaying Flying Knife and killed a hundred Jiajing emperors."

The three were very moved when Jiang Ziya comforted them.

"Prime Minister!" Chong Heihu said in a deep voice, "This Marquis knows shame and then becomes brave. I am willing to fight to the death! Even if I die on the battlefield, I will not be a deserter of the Great Zhou!"

Jiang Huanchu and E Chongyu also hurriedly expressed their willingness to fight to the death with Emperor Jiajing.

"Why are you talking about fighting?" Jiang Ziya shook his head and said, "To be honest, I had to give up my divine whip to have the chance to rescue you."

"What!?"

The three were shocked and filled with shame and anger.

The Divine Whip is the magical weapon that made Jiang Ziya famous, but it was lost in the human world because of the three of them?

At this time, Jiang Huanchu found Fan Li and Qingqiu standing aside eating melons.

Fan Li was wearing a dragon robe, but in his hand he was holding a food box filled with various fresh fruits and snacks.

He was not greedy, the food box was prepared for Qingqiu.

Qingqiu was like a beauty in a painting, standing quietly beside Fan Li.

Occasionally, her right hand turned into a residual shadow, instantly taking a piece of dessert from the food box and stuffing her cherry mouth full.

The beautiful face also has a bit of naivety.

"Emperor of Jin?"

Although he was his savior, Jiang Huanchu saw through him at a glance. Fan Li had only just entered the Mahayana realm. In addition, there was a difference between immortals and mortals, so he felt a little disrespectful in his heart.

He looked at Qingqiu again, but his expression changed several times!
There are nine tails behind Qingqiu, which are not concealed at all and even sway leisurely.

Perhaps because the snacks prepared by Fan Li were delicious, Qingqiu was in a very good mood.

"Nine-tailed fox!?"

Jiang Huanchu screamed, which also attracted the attention of E Chongyu and Chong Heihu.

"The Xuanyuanfen lineage?"

"The remnants of Su Daji's party?!"

In just a moment, the three marquises entered combat mode and the atmosphere became tense!

"Don't move rashly!"

Jiang Ziya, who had not been angry just now, now roared and stood in front of Sanbohou.

"Prime Minister?"

Sanbohou was stunned and looked at Jiang Ziya in confusion.

In the fairy world, the Great Zhou Dynasty is most hostile to the nine-tailed fox.

Among them, Jiang Ziya, who killed Su Daji personally, was the most hostile.

So the three dukes didn’t understand why Jiang Ziya would stand on the side of the nine-tailed fox?

Could it be that the Prime Minister has been bewitched by a vixen?

"Prime Minister Jiang, look carefully, that is a nine-tailed demon fox!" Jiang Huanchu reminded hurriedly.

"This... How could this old man not know?"

Jiang Ziya was also very embarrassed.

Today, he actually understood how Fan Li felt back then.

I want to explain, but I don't know where to start.

How can we make Jiang Huanchu and the other two believe that Qingqiu is a good fox?
The method is simple: speak with strength.

"Wang Ban."

Fan Li suddenly started calling out names.

"Hu Zongxian, Huang Longshi, Jing Wudi, Yu Shenzi, Lu Zhi, Zhang Xutuo, Dou Wangsun, Yin Junling, Kou Ziyi."

As the names were read out one by one, the three great marquises clearly felt that powerful Mahayana masters were constantly locking onto them with their auras!

The breath is getting closer!

Any one of them would definitely not be his opponent.

However, Tianshu suppressed the immortals in the mortal world, making the gap between the two sides extremely small.

The quantity has made up for the gap in quality!
The breath of death loomed, and the three great dukes finally understood that even if they wanted to slay demons and enforce justice, they had to consider themselves first.

Do we have this capability right now?

"Three barons." Fan Li said with a smile, "Either sit down and have a cup of tea and listen to me slowly explain. Otherwise, I also know a little bit of boxing."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Huanchu and the other three only felt the murderous aura around them become stronger!
There are also white air currents converging from all directions.

How knowledgeable are the three dukes?

They immediately recognized that this was the destiny of the country and the prelude to the emperor's use of [Pangu's Giant Body]!

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Jiang Ziya hinted frantically with coughs and eye contact.

The three of them were not stupid, especially Jiang Huanchu, who had long put away his contempt.

The three marquises said in unison: "We are thirsty, so we would like to ask the Emperor of Jin for a cup of tea!"

……

…………

Half a day later.

Fan Li argued to the three great marquises from the perspective of facts and strength that Qingqiu was a good fox.

The reasons for the argument are not important, because the key to forging iron is to be strong yourself.

Behind Fan Li, including Qingqiu, stood a total of eleven Mahayana realm masters.

He also repeatedly emphasized that this is not all of his strength.

then!

The three dukes reached an agreement:
"The Empress of the Great Jin Dynasty, Lady Qingqiu, is a beautiful girl from a famous family. She is gentle and intelligent, kind and virtuous. She possesses all six virtues and has long been known for her good character."

"As an outstanding representative of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan, Queen Qingqiu played a key role in easing relations between the Fox Clan and the Human Clan, and made outstanding contributions to the normalization of relations between the two clans."

"She is a bridge of friendship, a messenger of peace, and a good friend of the human race."

"The Great Zhou Dynasty and its eight hundred vassal states will always cherish the precious friendship that Queen Qingqiu of the Great Jin Dynasty has fought for the people of the two races!"

clap clap clap!
Fan Li led a group of powerful Mahayana masters from the Jin State in applauding enthusiastically, and the applause lasted for a full ten minutes.

"cough!"

Jiang Ziya coughed dryly.

He was embarrassed, but also looked at Fan Li with appreciation.

Good means.

Regardless of wisdom, strength or thickness of skin, Fan Li is absolutely qualified to be the emperor of a country.

This is the quality that a truly wise ruler should possess!

"I have decided to return to the fairyland today and apologize to the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty." Jiang Ziya said with a straight face.

Fan Li was surprised and asked, "Are you going back just like that? You don't want the divine whip anymore?"

Headache.

It so happened that the divine whip fell into the hands of Emperor Jiajing, and this was what Fan Li was most worried about at the moment.

How come these gods who came down to earth seemed to be the experience packs of Emperor Jiajing? The anti-Ming war was already in difficult mode.

Emperor Jiajing added the divine whip?

Good guy!
Just turn on the hell mode, Fan Li doesn’t want to play it.

Should we just let Da Chu and Da Jin rise together as a nation?
Fan Li once thought about this problem very seriously!

When they heard that Jiang Ziya was planning to return to the fairyland, the three great dukes were also worried about the beating of the divine whip.

But Jiang Huanchu reacted the fastest, vaguely guessed something, and laughed immediately:

"Hahaha! How can the treasures of the immortals be so easily taken over?"

"Even if the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty became a mortal immortal, he has only just entered the immortal realm. He is in the mortal world and is suppressed by the destiny."

"Prime Minister Jiang is far-sighted and has his own way to take back the Whip, right?"

He looked at Jiang Ziya expectantly, but the latter shook his head.

"Right now... I am also unable to retrieve the Divine Whip. I can only leave it in the hands of Emperor Jiajing for the time being."

"ah????"

Jiang Huanchu was stunned.

Can you just give up a magical weapon like the Divine Whip?

"Prime Minister Jiang, are you planning to go back to the fairyland to ask for help and then retrieve the divine whip?" Fan Li asked with a smile.

"Not really." Jiang Ziya smiled bitterly, "Immortals and mortals have different paths, and we immortals cannot descend to the mortal world at will. Heaven's destiny... has many restrictions, and those who ascend cannot always focus on the mortal world. Heaven's destiny expects immortals to look outward, to the distance."

Look outside?

Look into the distance?

What do you mean?
Fan Li was puzzled, but he knew that Jiang Ziya was evasive and would not elaborate even if he pressed him.

In fact, Fan Li has already collected a lot of information about the fairy world in bits and pieces.

He was surprised to find that [number of days] did not seem to be an illusory, belief-like existence.

The number of days seems to have real substance?
Moreover, the heavens directly intervene... or manage many things in the fairy world?

"Emperor Jin, don't worry."

Jiang Ziya suddenly laughed.

He looked at Fan Li and the officials of Jin State behind Fan Li.

"Although the Ming Dynasty is at its peak, the Jin Dynasty has even more unlimited potential!"

"This world will belong to Emperor Jin sooner or later!"

Fan Li nodded.

“I have this confidence, too.”

The three dukes were confused.

The strength of the Jin Emperor in front of him is far inferior to that of the Ming Emperor. Why is he so confident?

On the contrary, the ministers of Jin State all had extraordinary strength and potential, but why were they willing to submit to the Emperor of Jin?
The emperor is like a dragon.

Although both are dragons, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty is much stronger and more mature than the Emperor of Jin!
"Qingqiu, come here. I have something to say to you alone."

Jiang Ziya suddenly waved to Qingqiu.

Qingqiu did not agree immediately, but looked at Fan Li with a questioning look.

Her reaction made Jiang Ziya very embarrassed.

"Don't mind it, Prime Minister Jiang." Fan Li said with a smile, "The husband sings and the wife follows!"

He gave Qingqiu a look, and the latter then took light steps and trotted to Jiang Ziya.

"Humph!"

"Let's talk in a quiet place!"

Jiang Ziya frowned and walked away, while Qingqiu followed behind him like a little tail.

Imperial Garden, a pavilion next to a rockery.

Jiang Ziya sat down, his stern expression disappeared, leaving only a kind smile.

"I am going back to the fairyland."

"Yeah." Qingqiu nodded. "I heard everything just now."

Jiang Ziya was silent for a moment, then suddenly said solemnly, "I can take you to the fairyland and join the Great Zhou Dynasty. Are you willing?"

"I do not……"

Qingqiu was about to refuse immediately.

Jiang Ziya hurriedly stopped him, with a look of disappointment on his face.

"you……"

"You are so ignorant!"

"If I adopt you as my adopted daughter, you will be the daughter of the Prime Minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

"Do you know? The Great Zhou Emperor respects me as his father!"

"In other words, you, the daughter of the Prime Minister, are no less noble than a princess of the Celestial Empire!"

"Don't tell me, you don't want to do this???"

Jiang Ziya finished speaking in one breath, staring at Qingqiu with anticipation.

"I don't want to."

"Wherever my husband is, there I will be."

Qingqiu gave his answer immediately without any hesitation.

"you!?"

Jiang Ziya was so angry that he blew his beard and glared for a long time!

"Could it be that Fan Li used some kind of magic to make you so obsessed with him?"

But the old man forgot.

Fan Li is a human, and Qingqiu is the nine-tailed fox demon who is famous for her charm.

"Ugh!"

Jiang Ziya also saw that Qingqiu's attitude was indeed firm and had never wavered.

"Okay! If you don't want to ascend, then don't ascend!"

He gave up, but still took something out of his arms.

A piece of ancient jade.

The carving is simple and pure white like a full moon, with the two words "Yuqing" engraved on it.

"This is the [Jade Purity Immortal Talisman], please accept it."

"As for how to use it..."

Jiang Ziya looked around before lowering his voice and speaking slowly.

For a moment, a hint of surprise flashed across Qingqiu's calm face!
"The old man is leaving."

After Jiang Ziya finished speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave the pavilion.

However, due to his pride, he did not say goodbye.

"Ugh!"

"This trip to the human world is worth it."

Jiang Ziya clearly failed to adopt Qingqiu as his adopted daughter and also lost the magic weapon, the divine whip, but he still thought like this, and even he found it ridiculous and funny.

He was walking forward with big strides, when he suddenly felt someone pulling his sleeve from behind.

Jiang Ziya turned around and saw that it was Qingqiu who grabbed him.

"What? Do you regret it?" Jiang Ziya asked nonchalantly, but his heartbeat was getting faster and faster.

"In the future, I will go to the fairyland."

Qingqiu's voice was calm and gentle, with the corners of his mouth raised, revealing a rare smile.

"Can I come find you then?"

Jiang Ziya was ecstatic!
But on the surface, his old face became even more tense.
"Humph?"

"Are you familiar with the road to the fairyland?"

"When the whole country of Dajin ascends to heaven, I will come to find you!"
