Shi Tian said, "Perhaps it is because we killed, toyed with, and ravaged him, that the Fla Demon Emperor doesn’t think there is any respect in our Dragon Temple. Perhaps the mbers of our Sky Holy Palace, in his eyes, are no different from pigs and dogs, not worthy of respect, he doesn’t acknowledge political equality."
This is the scariest!
Not acknowledging political equality ans you won’t receive relative political treatnt.
Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen was defeated at Woyao Fortress and captured by Wa Ci. But the other side recognized his political status, so despite being captured, life wasn’t too hard, he still enjoyed the status of a captive foreign monarch.
In contrast, during the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, after Emperor Huizong and Emperor Qinzong were captured by the Jin Dynasty, they did not enjoy the treatnt of monarchs, living worse than pigs and dogs. The empresses and concubines were raped to death by Jin soldiers, the two emperors couldn’t even fill their stomachs, any ordinary soldier could torture them.
Lanling treating E Yun like this indicates he absolutely won’t give relative political treatnt to the Dragon Temple mbers, only ravaging them to death like pigs and dogs.
"Oh, you ca to see , what’s the matter?" Shi Tian asked.
Ning Wuya said, "Gu Ban wants Ji Xiuning to be an emissary to the Fla Demon Empire. I think it’s inappropriate. Ji Xiuning has great rits, after all. Demon Emperor Lanling hasn’t made any demands, yet we’re eager to send Ji Xiuning to him to kill out of spite. So once Lanling speaks, are we going to send Fu Lingxi, Zhi Yan, Kui Shuangshuang, Ji ngbai, Huai Bingyi and others all over for Lanling to kill out of spite? Soday, if Lanling says that as long as we send Priest Gu Ban of the Sky and Ning Wuya over, he won’t start a war. Are we going to send myself and Gu Ban over for him to kill too?"
Shi Tian didn’t show obvious anger upon hearing this.
Ning Wuya said, "To buy ti, to set up the defenses of the Great Mountains, the defenses of the East Sea, we can compromise to Lanling. But not unconditionally, at least not sending the ritorious ministers of the Dragon Temple over for Lanling to kill. This would chill the people’s hearts. Our Dragon Temple is only buying ti, it is absolutely not appeasent, nor weakness, we cannot allow Lanling to do as he pleases with life and death."
Shi Tian said, "Lord Wu Ya, your righteous indignation here is of no use to . You know, so people need backbone, but definitely not us. We don’t need backbone because we are not a country, we don’t need so spirit. We are the Dragon Temple, representing the highest power and strength. If necessary, anyone can be sent to Lanling to kill out of spite, as long as the dead are not us."
Such blunt words, so unpretentious, Ning Wuya was truly a bit unaccustod.
"You should know, between us and Lanling, there is no room for reconciliation, it’s completely a fight to the death. The whole world can only accommodate one, either the Dragon Temple or Demon Emperor Lanling, of course it’s also possible none can be accommodated." Shi Tian said, "I know you don’t care about Ji Xiuning’s life and death, you care about your own face. But at this ti, face is useless, this is completely a life-and-death war, it no longer belongs to the realm of political struggle."
Instantly, Ning Wuya’s face beca extrely ugly.
"We’re here arguing whether to send Ji Xiuning to Lanling to be killed, whether to send Fu Lingxi to be killed, but have you considered Lanling’s thoughts?" Shi Tian said, "We are thinking about negotiating, thinking about pressing one condition after another. But have you thought that Lanling will not even discuss one condition? Believe , he won’t discuss anything, so your Ji Xiuning doesn’t need to go to her death, because dying would be in vain."
Ning Wuya’s face beca even more embarrassed.
"We must send an emissary to try negotiations." Ning Wuya said.
"Hmm, going there may an not coming back, should an not coming back, because Lanling will express his resolute will, otherwise he wouldn’t kill E Yun." Shi Tian said, "What about Huigu? Is he still alive?"
Ning Wuya said, "At that ti, he failed to persuade Tiancha King to surrender, and let him escape to Lanling, making a mistake, so he is temporarily in confinent, not taking part in the last battle of the Fla Demon Empire, instead surviving by accident."
Shi Tian said, "Then let Huigu go."
...
After Candidate Sky Priest Huigu was released, Ning Wuya summoned him for a discussion.
He talked about the matters regarding Demon Emperor Lanling, then about the complete annihilation of the Mo Tuo Empire and the Demon Pavilion’s army, and finally about E Yun being fed to the dogs.
Ning Wuya finally said, "You go and negotiate with Lanling, try to secure five years of peace ti, as long as there’s no northern expedition for five years, any conditions can be discussed."
Huigu remained silent.
"Rember, any conditions can be discussed." Ning Wuya said.
Huigu felt like he was in mourning, in ordinary tis, he would certainly be extrely respectful to Ning Wuya, but now it’s no longer necessary.
"As long as you succeed in negotiating and sign a peace treaty with Lanling, even if it’s five years without a northern expedition, you directly get promoted to Sky Priest, filling E Yun’s position." Ning Wuya patted Huigu’s shoulder and said, "I’m optimistic about you, you’re talented, only you can handle this, His Majesty Shi Tian and I can be reassured."
Then, Ning Wuya left.
Huigu emitted a series of howls.
In his heart he cursed, "Ning Wuya, screw you, Sky Holy Palace, screw you. Clearly sending to die, saying they’re optimistic about , also saying what’s this promotion to Sky Priest. How did E Yun die? Being fed to the dogs."
"Previously it was taking the bla, failing to persuade Tiancha King and getting confined was also , now again they’re sending to die, do they think I’m stupid? Okay, I’m stupid, but they can’t just trick alone. Why doesn’t Fu Lingxi go negotiate? Why doesn’t Ji Xiuning go negotiate? Why doesn’t Kui Shuangshuang go negotiate?" Huigu’s heart was truly filled with indignation.
"Why only trick alone? Am I that easy to bully?"
But, Huigu couldn’t refuse.
He would be killed by Lanling after diplomacy to the Fla Demon Empire, but if he didn’t go, he would be killed now.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground unmoving for a long ti, he went to Ning Wuya and made one request.
"I want to take soone with ." Huigu said.
"Suo Lun’s daughter Suo Qin? No way." Ning Wuya said.
Huigu said, "Not the Princess Suo Qin, it’s Die Wu from the Demon Pavilion, she is the lover of the Crown Prince of the Winged Tribe, Lanling’s foster daughter’s biological mother. And she has a favor with Fla Demon Emperor, she once released Ashi Liren and Zhi Ning’s mother and daughter."
Ning Wuya thought for a mont and said, "Approved!"
...
The next day, Candidate Sky Priest Huigu left the Demon Pavilion with Die Wu, heading to the Fla Demon Empire!
A few days later!
Candidate Sky Priest Huigu suddenly perford the ritual of kowtowing thrice and bowing nine tis outside the Fla Demon City.
"Huigu pays homage to the Lord of Realms, the Master of Races, the Supre of the World, the Sovereign of the Universe, Your Majesty the Fla Demon Emperor, long live, long live, long live!"
"Huigu is willing to surrender to Your Majesty, to beco a loyal dog under your feet, Huigu is willing to beco the vanguard horse in Your Majesty’s northern expedition!"
"Huigu is willing to be a slave and a dog, to contribute even the slightest for Your Majesty’s world-extinguishing great cause!"
It was indeed so sudden!
Thus, the Candidate Sky Priest Huigu, unwilling to die, directly surrendered.
He hadn’t even seen Lanling yet before kneeling to surrender, he had to be quick, as he was afraid that upon eting Lanling, there wouldn’t be ti to say a word before being dragged away and fed to the dogs. Given Lanling’s character, it’s highly possible he would do such a thing.
And so, Huigu kowtowed thrice and bowed nine tis, in front of everyone, every nine steps he walked, he knelt down and perford the ritual.
His forehead was soaked with blood after just a few hundred ters.
Huigu kept saying he is willing to be a slave and a dog. He felt he had no capital, he could only sell his misery, the more miserable the better.
All of this was indeed so sudden, but Huigu made this decision carefully after deep consideration.
The few big shots of your Sky Holy Palace don’t treat as a human, I take the bla, I am sent to die, how is this okay?
Since you can make the first move, I can make the next move.
I, Huigu, am indeed not a smart person, I am indeed a straightforward person, but when soone like shalessly embraces it, even I would be frightened.
