I became a fox girl and was captured by the True Dragon Saint

"Shut up!" Li Chengqian was furious. "What are you trying to do? Can you not be so feudal? Being an emperor is your honor! That's called being a servant of the people!"

"I don't want to be a public servant!" Li Longji cried, "I want to hug my beloved concubine Yang and make love with her! Your Majesty, please find someone else!"

"No! Shut up! It's settled!" Li Chengqian used three consecutive words of inferiority to talk the matter to death, leaving no room for Li Longji to throw a tantrum and resist.

Li Longji was such a big man, but he was sobbing with grievance.

After a long while, he had no choice but to accept the reality, touched the corner of his eye with his armored fingers, and said, "Forget it, grandson knows."

Amid the rustling sound of his armor, he took out a secret letter, put away his youthful expression, and said in a deep voice, "The envoys from the other three states have landed this morning."

"Except for the delegation from the Southern Continent, the delegations from the Western Continent and the Northern Continent have all registered at the Andong Protectorate in Hebei Province."

"The Prince of Dongping, An Lushan, will be in charge of the meeting."

Li Chengqian nodded: "Although it is just another routine negotiation, we still need to take precautions to prevent them from taking the opportunity to cause chaos in my Dongsheng Shenzhou."

"I have already instructed An Lushan, the Prince of Dongping, who is in charge of guarding the northeast region, to keep a close eye on the envoys and not allow any of them to leave the post station," Li Longji replied.

"Well," Li Chengqian nodded again, expressing his appreciation for Li Longji's ability to get things done, but he suddenly frowned and asked again, "Is An Lushan reliable?"

Li Longji was stunned.

"Should be...reliable. Although he is a Hu, he is loyal to the Tang Dynasty and has a good personal relationship with me."

"Longji, it is precisely because you have a good relationship in private that you should be more on guard against him," Li Chengqian's face darkened. "You were born into a royal family, so you know that being an emperor is just a tiring job. But those outside don't know, and don't think so... They only know that the royal family has the greatest power in the world, and that the emperor enjoys wealth and glory, and is admired by everyone."

"I will be careful."

"I'm afraid we can't guard against it," Li Longji said hesitantly, "I don't think An Lushan is that kind of... sinister and cunning person."

"Until standing in the Hades' Hall, with the past books of life and death being turned over, no one can see what is under that skin." Li Chengqian stepped down from the dragon throne, patted his grandson on the shoulder, and sighed earnestly, "You'd better take care of this matter yourself. It involves foreign diplomatic relations, so you must not take it lightly."

"I understand. I will go right away."

Although Li Longji did not think that An Lushan would be bribed, he still hurriedly set off for the northeast.

However, the diplomatic envoys had already arrived. If there was something wrong with An Lushan, it would probably be too late to go now.

I hope that's ok.

It's just an ordinary visit and negotiation, it should be...

In short, at this critical moment when the Lord God and the Holy Ancestor are not around, nothing must happen!

129. Death is Coming (5)

It is said that after Li Longji received the warning from Emperor Li Chengqian, he rode at full speed to Andong Protectorate in Hebei Province without hesitation that night.

He recalled the life of An Lushan.

An Lushan lost his father at an early age. His mother was a Turkic witch, so he had a miserable childhood.

He was proficient in six languages ​​and had served as an intermediary for merchants traveling to the Western Regions, thus developing his own ways of dealing with people.

Although he is a bit worldly-wise, it is no exaggeration to say that he is intelligent and talented. In addition, the Tang Dynasty had just unified the Dongsheng Shenzhou not long ago, and it really needed such people who were good at regulating interpersonal relationships to guard the cold northeast region and help stabilize people's hearts.

So, Li Longji helped him to fight for the position of Prince of Dongping.

Would this guy be putting something on me behind my back?

Regardless of whether it works or not, let’s go and check it out tonight. After checking it out, you will have a better idea in your mind!

Li Longji tightly grasped the magic crystal and accelerated his flight with his two guards.

It was almost the twelfth lunar month. The Andong Protectorate was located on the northeastern coast of the Tang Dynasty, and the ground was covered with a thin layer of fluffy snow.

The Andong Protectorate was rooted in Pyongyang, which was originally the territory of Goryeo, but thanks to the achievements of General Su Dingfang in the past, it had long been under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty.

The delegation landed on the northeast coast and originally wanted to stay temporarily in Fuso Protectorate. However, considering that there was a large sea between Fuso Protectorate and the inland, the Tang Dynasty, in order to show its sincerity, asked them to temporarily come to An Lushan's territory for rest and recuperation, and then go to Beijing to meet the emperor the next day.

"Hey! Your Majesty!"

An Lushan was wearing a thick fur coat and looked like the rough Khitan people of the grasslands.

He staggered to his knees on the ground. Due to his excessive obesity, he looked like a ball. His arms almost couldn't support him and he rolled on the ground.

He lowered his head, and the fat on his chin rolled like waves.

"Your Majesty?" Li Longji's face darkened. Why did An Lushan bring up such irrelevant issues?

"It's too early to call you His Majesty. This is a crime of treason!" Li Longji rebuked in a deep voice, "Put away your cleverness! Being His Majesty is not an easy job!"

An Lushan grinned, and although he repeatedly promised that he deserved to die, it was obvious that like most people in the world, he did not think that being an emperor was a hard job.

"General, why are you here suddenly in the middle of the night? The north is different from the capital, and it's even more different from Jiangdu which is in full bloom all year round. At this time, the grass and trees are all withered and yellow, and only icicles are hanging on the trees! It's very cold!" An Lushan said with his head down.

"You stand up first. I see you must be very tired kneeling." Li Longji sighed, patted An Lushan on the shoulder, and personally helped him stand up.

He did have a good relationship with An Lushan, the rough and fat man. In addition to the fact that An Lushan was a good person, he always felt that An Lushan's unconventional character was quite to his liking.

The court was full of old men who had inherited the bad habits from the previous era and could not change them in this lifetime. In contrast, he still liked to interact with An Lushan, who was also a young man.

An Lushan climbed up tremblingly, and as his name suggests, he was like a small mountain.

"General, what are you doing here so late at night?" An Lushan grinned, and his round face gave people a kind and friendly feeling.

"Where are the envoys?" Li Longji stood on tiptoe and looked into the palace.

"Of course they are in the mansion!" An Lushan said frankly, "Do you need to see them in person? Come on, I'll take you to see them!"

Seeing An Lushan's guilt-free look, Li Longji finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He nodded: "Let's go."

An Lushan walked in front to lead the way, Li Longji followed closely behind him, and the two guards beside him were extremely vigilant and did not let their guard down at all just because it was their own territory.

Not far away, Li Longji heard the music and laughter of singing and dancing.

"Although there are often frictions between the four continents, the Tang Dynasty will not violate the etiquette when dealing with envoys," An Lushan smiled proudly, "I sent people to entertain them well. Of course, it will not cost too much money..."

He leaned close to Li Longji's ear and whispered, "I know who is considered an honored guest."

Li Longji chuckled.

I couldn't help but think in my heart: This bastard, as an official appointed by the court, shouldering the important task of taking care of the envoys, he actually... did a great job!

Walking into the inner courtyard and pushing open the door, Li Longji was greeted by the joyful scene of singing and dancing.

He immediately felt more relieved, but out of caution, he still said: "I brought the registration list for the checkpoint. From now on, I will call the roll. Every time I read a name, I will call him over. I want to make sure that everyone is in this palace."

"No problem! It's a piece of cake!" An Lushan readily agreed, called the guard, gave him a few instructions, and asked him to convey the order.

The guard ran away.

Soon, the envoys stood up one by one as they were called and came before Li Longji to pay their respects.

Li Longji nodded with satisfaction.

However, as he was nodding, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Why are my eyelids twitching a little...

That’s not right. I haven’t stayed up late recently.

“Plop——”

He suddenly fell forward to the ground. In a daze, he turned to look at An Lushan in disbelief.

But An Lushan still had that round and kind smile on his face.

"Don't be afraid, old friend. It's just a nap. It won't hurt."

"But there will be a bowl-sized scar on your neck. In another eighteen years, you will be a brave man again. Maybe you will be reborn into a royal family, hahahaha..."

The two guards had much higher cultivation levels than Li Longji. They acted decisively and endured the inexplicable feeling of dizziness. One of them carried Li Longji on his shoulders, while the other one did not hesitate to use his corpse-transmutation skills to unleash powerful strength to stop the siege!

Since it was predicted that there might be dangers on this trip, the two guards were naturally carefully selected strong men, and they were outstanding disciples of the Taiming Religion.

At that moment, they burst out with a cultivation power that was even more powerful than that of the Venerable. Under the impact of that terrifying spiritual power, even the dizzying mysterious poison was instantly washed away!

With the perfect coordination of one person holding the line and the other decisively escaping, Li Longji's body was brought high into the sky in the blink of an eye.

The courtyard behind them was shrinking rapidly. The envoys and An Lushan had dazed expressions and cried out that something was wrong.

The guard carrying Li Longji rushed into the gray clouds.

As long as he hides in the clouds, it will be difficult to find his location even if we chase him...

This means that his escort mission is basically...

"choke--"

A merciless cold front suddenly appeared from the frozen clouds covered with ice.

The guard never imagined that there was a killer hiding in the sea of ​​clouds that he regarded as his lifeline.

"Gu Yuetian... Sect Master... why..."

Another sword flash came, slashing mercilessly at him and the master he had fought so hard to protect.

Scarlet ice rain bloomed in the air and scattered in all directions.

130. Death is Coming (6)

"Why are you so careless?"

Jiantian Sect's leader, Gu Yuetian, slowly descended from the air. He frowned as he looked at the frozen blood on the sword's blade, revealing a trace of disgust.

The disgusting blood was stuck on the blade of the sword and could not be wiped off even with silk. It could only be wiped clean by waiting for it to dissolve in a warm place.

"This time it is all thanks to Mr. Gu Yuetian's timely action!" An Lushan hurriedly bowed down, sweating all over, and kowtowed to Gu Yuetian repeatedly to express his gratitude.

With his physique, he was frightened by his three highs just now. When he saw Li Longji was almost rescued by the guards, his heart almost stopped.

"Don't play that trick in front of me," Gu Yuetian glanced at An Lushan coldly, "Lord Xuchen went out to make arrangements, so I came to see you. I didn't expect that something really bad would happen... You bunch of rubbish, do things more cleanly! Do you need me to teach you?"

"I know I was wrong! I know I was wrong!"

A group of people in the envoy group immediately knelt down and admitted their mistakes.

"Li Longji has come at this critical moment," Gu Yuetian frowned, a huge bulge appeared on his brows, "and he's dead. The emperor will get the news soon. I'm afraid a large army will come to kill us tomorrow morning. How are you going to explain this to the emperor?"

"I have thought about this matter!" An Lushan said hurriedly. He pointed at the envoys around him and then made a gesture of wiping his neck to his subordinates.

"?!"

"Sir! What are you doing? Sir...ah!"

In the Andong Protectorate, the screams of men, women, old and young were heard continuously.

The entire diplomatic corps from the two continents was killed completely.

Even the old servants and maids in the mansion who were not part of the diplomatic delegation could not escape the butchery of the cold-blooded guards.

"The emperor has long suspected me, and I'm afraid he has already planted spies in my palace. Moreover, the Military Affairs Council left by the previous emperor is very powerful, with secret lines spread across the four continents... Even this entire delegation may not be clean. In order to ensure that everything is worry-free, we must deal with it thoroughly."

An Lushan looked coldly at the tragic scene of hell on earth in the Protectorate and said in a cold voice.

"Besides, as long as all the envoys are dead, no one will be able to suspect the envoys... After all, they are just a group of insignificant followers. We can just kill them. When the time comes, burn them to ashes and no one will know who is the big shot and who is the small shot."

Gu Yuetian silently looked at the ruthless and decisive man in front of him and nodded secretly.

He is vicious enough and has the potential to achieve great things.

"Besides, since the envoys are dead, the two states can use this as an excuse to hold others accountable. Even if a conflict breaks out, they will have a legitimate reason to do so."

"But the crown prince is also dead." Gu Yuetian had a headache. "Originally, the best outcome for this matter was to act in secret and not attract anyone's attention. Now, it has become such a big mess. The crown prince is dead, and the emperor will definitely not let it go. He will investigate it to the end."

"But I burned all the people. Even if he wants to investigate..."

“Don’t think that the autopsy doctors in Lingyin Valley and Lord Di from the Dali Temple are so stupid.” Gu Yuetian rolled his eyes at them. “In two days at most, they will find out the truth. The Imperial Master’s arrangements must be accelerated, lest they find out and eliminate us one by one…”

"I would like to ask Lord Gu Yuetian to negotiate with the court and slow down their investigation."

"I'll do my best."

Gu Yuetian sighed and left in a hurry.

An Lushan glanced at the guards around him and his face turned stern.
