Star Sea Lord

() In the Palace of Discussion.

Wei Zhenhua and Tang Xudong sat quietly, pursing their lips without saying a word.Xichen Qinglan's face was angry, Zhou Lingfeng's eyes were slightly closed, and he looked like he was wandering away.

After a while, Empress Belluccia finally appeared accompanied by the court chief, and the two grand consuls stood up with the two Lone Star Gods of War to salute.

The two sides exchanged a few simple greetings, and after sitting down again, Tang Xudong went straight to the point and said with a smile:

"Respected Your Majesty, we have been entrusted by Your Excellency the Supreme Consul to clarify the misunderstanding with you about the core disciple of the Jixing Temple, Xiao Junling, who was taken away by the princess of your country! I hope that you can take the overall situation of friendship between the two countries as the most important thing, Will……"

Luo Lisilan let out a chuckle, interrupted his words, and said gently: "Misunderstanding? You can say that! Xiao Junling is indeed in the palace, but he is no longer a citizen of the Huaxia Empire, but a nobleman of our Qingqiu Empire. So I think it's unreasonable for you to ask us to send him back."

Wei Zhenhua's face became serious, and he asked in a deep voice: "Ms. Dear Manager, I don't understand what you mean! Xiao Junling is a legal citizen of the Chinese Empire, there is no doubt about it! Even if he wants to immigrate, he must go through a whole set of strict procedures. legal process."

"He was just taken away by Her Royal Highness in an unfriendly way, and now you are announcing that he is a nobleman of the Qingqiu Empire. Can I understand that you have used some shady methods?"

The queen smiled slightly and said: "Dear Your Excellency, the Grand Consul, Xiao Junling was brought back to the palace by the princess. You may not know some details, but I can tell you clearly that he did it because he met Her Royal Highness. The above decision is not forced by us!"

"And," she paused, and threw out another shocking news:

"I have already decided to marry the princess to him. I will announce the specific news soon! Since you are here, you might as well inform you in advance. The same is true."

Xichen Qinglan was furious, if she hadn't been concerned about her identity, she would have almost uttered an angry reprimand, the majestic king of a country speaks too shamelessly!

She had just returned to the Jixing Temple today, and before she had time to see the Great Sage, she heard the news that shocked and angered her, so she couldn't care about anything else, so she hurried to find Wei Zhenhua.

It happened that the Grand Consul was about to go out, so he brought her along. After all, she was Xiao Junling's teacher, so of course she had the right to intervene in this matter.

The warm smile that always hung on Tang Xudong's face disappeared, and there was a gleam in his eyes, and he asked unhurriedly:

"Dear Your Majesty, although there is a mutual agreement on immigration between the two countries, this kind of thing must be strictly reviewed by the governments of the two countries before it can be allowed. A situation like Xiao Junling's does not conform to the established agreement at all. Legal procedures, so it is impossible for the Chinese Empire officials to recognize your self-assertive behavior!"

Luo Lisilan smiled and said: "Rules are made by people. According to the practice of the human world, it is not a big deal to act in a hurry when necessary! With our good friendship with your country, we ask you to If Fang provides a certain amount of convenience in this matter, shouldn't it be considered too much?"

Wei Zhenhua's complexion gradually turned cold. It seemed that the pair of monarchs and ministers were determined to play tricks, and they didn't even care about their own identities. Don't they understand that this is after all on the territory of the Huaxia Empire?

"Your Majesty the Empress, if it's someone else, it's not impossible to consider it if you want us to make it easier!" He said indifferently,

"However, Xiao Junling is the core disciple trained by the Jixing Temple. Such talents are not within the scope of the immigration permit agreement between the two countries! What's more, he is still far from an adult. If he wants to immigrate, he must obtain the permission of his guardian! So Your request is totally unreasonable!"

"Guardian?" Luo Lisilan smiled reservedly,

"This child is indeed underage, but according to the information we have, he has no living relatives! So this reason should not hold water, we..."

Tang Xudong pointed at Xichen Qinglan lightly, and said calmly: "This is Xiao Junling's teacher, and she is the legal guardian approved by the temple. She has the final say in everything involving him!"

"This..." The head of the palace froze. Because of the rush of time, they did not fully grasp the detailed information about Xiao Junling. Now his teacher and legal guardian suddenly appeared, which was obviously beyond their expectations. outside.

But the court chief is not an idle person after all, he quickly calmed down after hearing the words, and said politely: "This respected Ms. Xichen Qinglan, regarding your students, I think we can..."

The Goddess of War had already lost her patience, and said coldly: "I'm sorry, Xiao Junling is my student, and I will arrange everything for him myself, and it's not up to others, including you! "

"Now, please bring him out and return him to me!"

Luolisi Lan couldn't help but suppress her smile, she never thought that Xichen Qinglan's attitude would be so blunt and direct, leaving no room for it, even if she was facing the Queen of the Qingqiu Empire.

After pondering for a while, she tentatively said again: "But Xiao Junling is after all the person Her Royal Highness the Princess likes, so... if you are willing to make certain concessions on this matter, we can give you a rich enough return !Look..."

"No need," Xichen Qinglan's attitude was firm and unquestionable.

"I have no interest in any of your proposals, and now I just want to meet my students!"

……

"Are you ready? You bumbling bastards!"

In the princess' bedroom, Princess Delive looked at the busy maids in front of her, her pretty face was tense, and she scolded impatiently.

"Soon, Your Highness, there is only one last step left!" A female officer replied wiping the sweat from her forehead.

In the center of the golden round tripod, a fist-sized cyan fruit phantom is taking shape. Dazzling and blurred lights and shadows appear and disappear in the surroundings. On the high palace dome, a half-meter-diameter ball of light is not in a hurry. It rotated unhurriedly, and cast a beam of light about a foot thick and colorful in five colors onto the fruit.

Numerous fine-colored three-dimensional runes as tiny as fine sand were derived and separated from the fruit, gathering into clusters of light and mist around them, carrying a faint coercion, as if a powerful consciousness body was being born.

Several imperial pharmacists worked nervously around the round tripod. As time went by, the image of the green fruit became more and more solid, and finally turned into an unknown fruit the size of a broad bean with a bright green light.

Princess Dai Liwei breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered: "Hurry up, we don't have much time!"

A pharmacist carefully took the fruit, put it on a sterling silver plate, and then split it in two with a gold dagger, then took out two small sealed test tubes from the medicine box that had been prepared, and put the red one in it. The cap of se's was unscrewed, and the medicinal liquid poured out, pouring on half of the fruit.

Then, he also poured the liquid medicine in the remaining green test tube on top of the other half of the fruit.And the fruit seemed to have a spirit, sucking up the medicinal liquid poured on it.

The pharmacist followed the same method and added more than ten kinds of medicinal liquids of different colors in an instant.

"Your Highness, due to the rush of time and the fact that this place is not in the country, some precious raw materials are not complete!" the female officer whispered,

"The spirit-removing potion prepared can only be regarded as a semi-finished product, so the probability of success is only about [-]% of the real product! Look..."

Princess Dai Liwei frowned and asked:

"I remember that the effect of the genuine product is that even a strong person at the level of the God of War of the Lonely Star has a certain probability of controlling it! Although this is a semi-finished product, but his strength is only at the initial stage of the Star Condensation Realm, the probability of successful control should be much greater ?”

"In theory!" the female officer replied honestly.

"Hmph, that's fine!" Princess Delivey ordered,

"Subdue him quickly, at least deal with the current troubles first, and then return to the Qingqiu Empire, and then give him a genuine product. From now on, he is mine, and no one can take it away!"

……

"...Your Excellencies, two respected grand consuls," Empress Belluccia finally said after seeing the conversation between the court chief and Xichen Qinglan getting more and more tense:

"I led a delegation to visit the Huaxia Empire this time with sufficient sincerity, because maintaining a good relationship between the two countries is an inevitable way to deal with the dangerous situation in the Star Sea and safeguard their respective interests!"

"We are very happy to form a closer ally with your country, and I believe your high-level officials think so too. Therefore, I think that both sides may wish to make concessions and adopt a more pragmatic attitude towards Xiao Junling's future. How about dealing with this matter and trying to reach a solution acceptable to both parties?"

Tang Xudong asked cautiously: "I don't know what your Majesty's opinion is?"

"It's very simple," the queen smiled gently,

"Let Xiao Junling come out and express his opinion to everyone. If he is willing to return to the Huaxia Empire, then we will release him immediately and we will never stop him!"

"If he is willing to join the Qingqiu Empire and become Princess Dai Liwei's son-in-law, then we will give His Highness Xichen Qinglan a generous gift as compensation. Do not interfere with this matter for any reason!"

"I don't know what you think of such a proposal?"

Xichen Qinglan frowned, the empress who held the initiative would not make concessions for no reason, as soon as she heard such a proposal, she faintly understood what the other party was planning.

Wei Zhenhua frowned and pondered for a while, and finally said: "It sounds like a good idea! But, can you guarantee that your people didn't use any shady methods against that child?"

"Absolutely not, Your Excellency!" Lorislan solemnly assured.

"Then... invite that child out!" Wei Zhenhua pondered for a while.Finally nodded and said:
