Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 1397: Vassal
.......................................

"My surrender can at least buy Senyu a little room for maneuver. This is indeed the case. Although Senyu has been defeated, considering the contributions of Xuanmie and me, the Emperor has issued an order that the Celestial Empire will accept Senyu's surrender. From now on, Senyu will be a vassal of the Celestial Empire, and Xuanmie will serve as the new King of the Black Sea. Although the country is weak, at least it will not be in danger of extinction."

Xuan Xiao asked: "Then how did the Ziyao Dynasty know the secret of our Yuanshen Beast?"

Xuan Li pointed out: "Just imagine, Shao Yang Jun can know the deepest secrets of the King of Hell, so what can the information of Senyu mean to him? Eighteenth brother, you and the three brothers, the eldest brother and the ninth brother, witnessed Shao Yang Jun's ability to break through the realm in Jialuo Palace. As long as he wants, there is nothing in this world that he cannot know."

Xuan Xiao asked, "Then why did Senyu lose repeatedly against Ziyao Tianchao?"

Xuan Li asked back: "Eighteenth brother, have you ever thought that, in fact, according to the national strength of the Black Sea Prison, it is no match for the Purple Glory Dynasty."

"This..." Xuan Xiao had thought about this question after the first major defeat, but he still arrogantly believed that under his leadership, the gap in national strength could be completely bridged.

Xuan Li listed the intelligence he had collected in Tianjing to the three people in the prison, saying, "The Purple Glory Dynasty only mobilized the Southern Border Brave Army and the Three Guards of the Imperial Army, and they caused Senyu to suffer a series of defeats. Although the commander, Champion, Hou Yuwentuo, is a top expert in the Heavenly Dynasty, he is not the strongest. And the Purple Glory Dynasty's Shaoyang Jun has reached the level of a god, and his wisdom and schemes are difficult to guess. Even a powerful demon Buddha like Po Xun could not escape his calculations and ended up being annihilated."

Hearing the news that Bo Xun was dead, Xuan Xiao was shocked again and said, "What!? Bo Xun is dead!"

Having witnessed the power of the devil Buddha with his own eyes, he could not imagine that a being like Mara would also die one day.

Xuan Li told Xuan Bin and the others how the Heavenly Dynasty had destroyed Po Xun, "Yes, just before you were escorted back to the court, the demon Buddha Po Xun had been annihilated in a coffin sacrifice at the Demon Execution Platform in front of the people of the Heavenly Dynasty. "

The last hope was gone, and Xuanxiao seemed to have lost his soul. He muttered to himself, "Even the demon Buddha is dead, dead."

Xuan Tong, who values ​​brotherhood, saw Xuan Xiao's state. He had been silent since he learned the truth about the King of Hell. He spoke up for his eighteenth brother's life, "Ninth brother, I wonder if you can convey this to the Heavenly Dynasty. I am willing to serve the Heavenly Dynasty for my eternal life in exchange for my eighteenth brother's life."

Looking at Xuan Tong's hopeful eyes, Xuan Li sighed, "Alas~ Do you think I don't want to protect my eighteenth brother? In fact, he is the leader of the war between the two realms and the conspirator behind the Black Sea human sacrifice that shocked the whole world. Ziyao Tianchao has announced to the world that tomorrow my eighteenth brother and Tianyu will be on the beheading platform. There will be no mercy. There is no room for maneuver in this matter."

Xuan Li was extremely sad when he heard this. He valued his brothers as much as Xuan Tong did.

However, Xuanxiao, as the initiator of this war and the conspirator of the Black Sea human sacrifice, also wanted to place soil in the territory of the Celestial Empire. With all these serious crimes, the Celestial Empire would never let him go.

For example, Xuantong, Xuanzao, and Xuanque participated in the war due to their different positions. They never did anything evil during the war. Therefore, the Celestial Empire only treated them as prisoners of war.

Because of the identities of the Senyu princes, the Celestial Empire imprisoned them in the Celestial Prison.

After the Zi Yao Dynasty has conferred the title on Xuan Mie, they will be tried again and if confirmed to have no bad record, they will be released.

However, since Heihai Senyu had just surrendered and Xuanmie had just taken power, the Celestial Empire would not let these princes go back to cause trouble.

They will first stay in the Celestial Empire as hostages and can move freely within the Celestial Empire, but they are not allowed to return to the Black Sea Prison.

Even Xuan Li, who served as the envoy of Senyu, was granted the post of Zhongshu Sheren by the Heavenly Dynasty after completing his mission, and was ordered not to return to Senyu.

As for Xuan Bao, it was even simpler, because he had been guarding Senyu Jialuo Palace, and did not even participate in the major battles between Senyu and the Celestial Empire. It was only when Yuwen Tuo attacked Heihai Senyu that he was defeated and captured.

The Celestial Empire's punishment was even lighter, simply placing him in a military camp and keeping him under strict surveillance.

After he and Xuan Li represented Senyu in the ceremony of Senyu paying tribute to the Celestial Empire, he stayed in the Celestial Empire as a hostage, just like Xuan Tong and others. As for Xuan Bin, as the eldest prince of Senyu and one of the initiators of the last war, his crime was not as serious as Xuan Xiao's, but he could not be let off lightly.

After some inquiries during this period, Xuan Li has received news that the Heavenly Dynasty intends to imprison Xuan Bin in the Dali Temple Prison as the Prince of Senyu.

This place is used to detain high-ranking officials and foreign princes who have committed crimes. The high and low, men and women are in separate prisons. Officials are detained in the Sanpinyuan and are given preferential treatment in their daily lives.

Xuan Bin will be detained in the Sanpinyuan, where he will not only receive preferential treatment in his daily life, but also have considerable freedom.

In this way, Xuan Bin’s life will at least not be in danger.

The reason why Ziyao Dynasty kept all the princes of Senyu was not only to fulfill the agreement, but also as a means to check and balance Xuanmie.

If Xuanmie was like Xuanxiao, ignorant of the destiny, then the Heavenly Dynasty could send out troops at any time and choose one of the princes to be the king of Senyu.

After Xuan Li told Xuan Xiao what he had learned about the Heavenly Dynasty's treatment of the people, he asked, "Eighteenth brother, tomorrow is the day for you and Tian Yu to be executed. Do you have any unfulfilled wishes to tell me? I will do my best to fulfill them for you."

Xuan Xiao was silent for a long time, and then expressed his last wish before his death, "Brother Eighth Prince, can Tianluozi come to the Heavenly Prison to see me?"

At the end of his life, Xuanxiao wanted to meet Tianluozi.

The so-called "brother-devouring fate" is nothing but a scam carefully designed by the King of Hell.

Tianluozi, who wanted to kill him very much, was just a poor man manipulated by fate.

Just like himself, they are just tools used by the King of Hell to fight for supremacy.

Xuanxiao wanted to settle the feud between himself and Tianluozi.

Hearing Xuan Xiao's request, Xuan Li hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to start, "This..."

Seeing Xuan Li's hesitation, Xuan Xiao misunderstood and said, "That's right, I'm afraid Tianluozi doesn't want to see me, the eighteenth prince who is eager to take his life."

Xuan Li informed Xuan Xiao about Tianluozi's movements, "Eighteenth brother, you misunderstood. It's just that Tianluozi inherited the Buddhist fate of Muling Mountain in the past and has left the Heavenly Dynasty and headed for the hometown of Tianfo."

After hearing about Tianluozi's recent situation, Xuanxiao felt relieved. "That's good. Tianluozi has found his own way."

Xuan Li continued to ask: "What else do you wish for?"

"Then please, Brother Ninth Prince, collect my body after tomorrow." Xuan Xiao had no other requests.

"Eighteenth brother, have a safe journey." Xuan Li suppressed the grief in his heart, stood up and left, not daring to look back.
