Searching for people along the coast is not difficult, it just requires some time and patience.
After spending more than a month, Qi Xiaotong finally got his wish and found the legendary Chinese Hidden Dragon on a remote seashore.
As expected, when Xiaotong tried to get close to him, he was jointly attacked by hidden masters.
This battle was the most difficult battle in her entire Nanyang journey.
The masters who loyally protected the master tried their best to fight to the death, and started a life-and-death fight with Qi Xiaotong in an attitude of dying together.
As the saying goes, when encountering each other on a narrow road, the brave wins!
This time, Qi Xiaotong fought very bravely, without any fear. Although he was one against many, his momentum was not inferior to others.
She moved her sword horizontally and vertically, as fast as a ghost, and used all she had learned in her life to fight to the death. During the bloody battle, her white dress was dyed with vermilion gauze, and the anger in her heart turned into strength.
Her majesty is like a rainbow, and she has a kind of heroic spirit that can kill gods when gods stand in the way, and kill Buddha when Buddha blocks Buddha.
When the moon just hung on the branches, Qi Xiaotong put away the long sword in her hand. Then, she walked over the enemy's corpse to the thatched cottage where Emperor Jianwu lived.
The next thing will be relatively smooth.
She met others as she wished.
Contrary to expectations, Emperor Jianwu did not have that aggressive and mighty aura. On the contrary, he behaved very kindly.
He was calm and composed, and calmly made Qi Xiaotong a pot of tea as a treat.
Being in the midst of dangerous waves but remaining calm is worthy of being a former leader.
In terms of this courage alone, it is definitely not comparable to ordinary people.
Perhaps influenced by this atmosphere, Qi Xiaotong, who had been so murderous before, immediately calmed down. Afterwards, she generously accepted the tea offered by Emperor Jianwu.
This conversation did not have the odor of gunpowder as imagined, but they communicated with each other in a calm manner. The two of them poured tea to each other from time to time, and looked like family members chatting together about everyday things.
Perhaps it was because Emperor Jianwu felt that his end was approaching, so today he was much more talkative than before.
He basically answered all Qi Xiaotong's questions.
The first question is, why do you want to target Qiongzhou?
Emperor Jianwu replied that he and Qi Yu had no grudges and that they could theoretically live in peace.
However, he continued to expand his territory externally and showed a strong attitude that he would not give up until he swallowed up the entire Southeast Asia.
If Java is lost, it will lose its place of settlement. It is for this reason that he helped Sarawak join forces to fight against Qiongzhou.
This is a strategic cooperation that is easy to understand.
After realizing this, Qi Xiaotong began to ask his second question: You are a king who has lost power. When encountering a whirlpool, you should retreat to save your life. Why do you take the initiative to participate in these meaningless fights?
To put it bluntly, even if Java falls and is annexed by Qiongzhou, we can just choose another place to live. Why hang on this tree?
Emperor Jianwu replied that he did not want to leave Java because he was concerned about it and could not bear to leave his second hometown where he had lived for decades.
care?
Yes!
He frankly said that before he became a monk, he had found a Chinese girl here to marry and have children. Now, his grandson has more than ten people. If Java were to fall, wouldn't the entire family be destroyed?
Forced into exile.
This is not what he wants.
He has long been tired of the wandering life. If he had the chance to give it a try, he would still like to pursue a stable life.
Even if you don’t think about yourself, you should think about your children and grandchildren, right?
After listening to his explanation, Qi Xiaotong expressed his agreement, and then asked the third question.
Is that lost jade seal hidden in your hand?
Emperor Jianwu thought about it for a while, and then admitted it calmly.
He felt that since the other party explicitly asked about this matter, it meant that he had seen through his previous plan to divert trouble. In this case, there was no need to continue to fabricate it.
At times like this, being honest with each other is the best way to communicate.
After receiving a positive reply, Qi Xiaotong immediately proposed the idea of taking away the Chuanguo Jade Seal.
In response, Emperor Jianwu not only did not refuse, but agreed very readily.
He said that this treasure has lost its practical significance to him, and keeping it forcibly will only increase the trouble. Rather than doing this, it is better to stay away.
In other words, Xiaotong can take away this treasure.
However, Emperor Jianwu had a condition.
That is, he must let his descendants go and ensure that they are not harmed. Otherwise, he would rather light the holy fire and 'pass away' than hand over this thing.
After Xiaotong thought for a moment, he agreed readily.
Those previous crimes were all committed by Emperor Jianwu alone and had nothing to do with his descendants. Since we can distinguish the innocent from the innocent, we cannot kill innocent people indiscriminately.
It was precisely because of this that Xiaotong did not insist on it deliberately.
After negotiating the terms of the transaction, Emperor Jianwu immediately delivered the imperial seal.
He firmly believed that with the majestic reputation of the Jade Faced Rakshasa, he must be true to his word. Since she nodded and agreed, she would never break her promise afterwards.
After drinking the last cup of tea, Emperor Jianwu straightened his clothes and walked towards the pile of firewood that had been prepared.
Looking at him like this, he must be preparing to burn fire and ascend to heaven.
At this moment, Xiaotong suddenly stopped him.
He said: If you no longer oppose Qiongzhou, you can live a good life.
To Emperor Jianwu, these words were completely Bodhisattva-like tolerance and amnesty.
As the saying goes, winners are kings and losers are bandits. As a complete loser, he was very lucky to have a way to survive.
Emperor Jianwu was not a fool, so he naturally would not refuse this kindness. So, he survived like this.
After listening to the story, Qi Yu praised: "I really didn't expect that my daughter's heart would actually become more kind..."
"Father understands, but something is wrong!"
What?
Am I wrong?
Qi Yu was stunned when he heard this, and confusion appeared on his face.
Xiaotong explained: "In fact, although Emperor Jianwu has a great reputation, he is actually just a monarch who has lost his power. Even if he is still alive, he is still a walking corpse. Killing him or not does not make much difference.
.”
However, as soon as her words changed, she added: "The main thing is that if he dies, not only will it not bring corresponding benefits to Qiongzhou, but on the contrary, it will also lead to some adverse political consequences."
"Oh? How do you say this?"
Hearing this, Qi Yu's confusion suddenly became even worse.
