"That's it! I have nothing to say now that I have fallen into the hands of you and others! I have nothing to say! What if you know that it was Daliang who did it? Daliang has an army of 400,000, how can you, Ruyang, defeat it?"
for a long time,
The bad handsome man said in a seemingly carefree manner.
Not to mention that the Dragon Kingdom's army was no match for the Great Liang's army. There was also a Great Yan between the two countries.
What can Ruyang do?
Prior to this, Daliang had withdrawn the family members and relatives of all officials from the Dragon Kingdom, and the Dragon Kingdom could no longer use the same means to retaliate against Daliang.
No matter from any aspect, Great Liang is already in an invincible position, it's just that he lost Jingzhou because of his carelessness.
Seeing the bad guy confirming this, Zhang Xu smiled coldly, waved his hand and said.
"Whether Ruyang is a match for Great Liang or not is not your concern! Someone, put him in a water prison!"
The bad handsome man has been punched through the pipa bone, and at least 70% of his cultivation has been destroyed. There is no need to worry about him escaping from the prison.
'Yes, Pavilion Master!'
Behind him, a guard wearing a black cloak bowed.
........
Just when the god of wine Zhang Xu was interrogating the bad commander, Li Mo had already led the civil and military ministers to sacrifice heaven and earth and return to the palace.
According to the ritual, the next step is when foreigners enter the palace to offer gifts.
The people in Ruyang City also knew that they were not qualified to enter the inner palace, so they could only stop in front of the palace gate.
"From now on, we are the people of the Dragon Kingdom!"
"That's right! Many foreign delegations came to celebrate the founding of the Dragon Kingdom, such as Nanguo, Dayan, Dayan, Zhou, Daliang, etc."
"It must be. Others think that our Dragon Kingdom is weak...but is it really weak? The fate of those assassins today is a good proof!"
"Assassins? By the way, I don't know where those assassins came from? Why did they attack His Majesty?"
"Don't worry! With your majesty's strength, you will definitely find those assassins to deal with. Then you will know who is behind it. Don't forget how Li Feng of Xiangyang was flattened by my Ruyang cavalry."
"That's true!"
"Let's go! I heard that there will be a surprise at the gate of the palace tonight. I have to eat something early and go to some restaurants to get a seat, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to see it."
"makes sense"
Amidst the commotion, the people watching the excitement began to slowly disperse.
Or maybe because the assassin was "too weak", the people didn't take it seriously, but were expecting surprises.
Little did they know that in the palace at this time, various foreign envoys had been so shocked by the scene in the Forbidden City that they could not recover for a long time.
Until the eunuch in charge of the ceremony urged them again and again, they stepped into the ceremony hall one by one.
Ruyang's inner palace really opened their eyes. They really didn't expect that the inner palace could be built so magnificently, especially Yeluqi. The Khitan palace was incomparable to the Ruyang palace. Even Ruyang's palace was incomparable.
The side palaces of Yang are incomparable.
Building a palace of this level cannot be accomplished by just having a few top warriors.
With this idea in mind, the foreign envoys from all walks of life were unusually quiet after entering the palace. It felt that they were no longer coming to Ruyang to watch the ceremony, but more like tributary countries paying tribute to the dynasty.
Even Yang Guoxiao and others were extremely obedient.
"Please take a rest here, my Majesty will host a banquet for you at the Cultural Hall later."
Suddenly, a eunuch holding a whisk appeared in front of everyone.
"Ah? A banquet? It shouldn't be..."
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Theoretically speaking, it is the time for the diplomatic missions from various countries to present their congratulatory gifts. Why do they have to have a banquet before they have presented their congratulatory gifts?
Could it be a mistake?
"Everyone, my Majesty has something to say... I am very grateful for coming all the way. The congratulatory gifts are not important!"
The father-in-law smiled and explained casually.
"That....."
The envoys from all walks of life couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. The feelings were so good,
They are worried that they will be "publicly executed" in the next step, but everyone can see that there are endless gadgets in the Dragon Kingdom that are lacking in various means, and the things they bring are actually not on the table at all.
Instead of doing this, it is better to go directly to the banquet to avoid embarrassment.
There is a feeling that this arrangement is really taking care of the face of each country. Judging from this matter, Li Mo does not seem to be as overbearing as imagined.
"If that's the case, then I'd like to thank my father-in-law..."
After regaining consciousness, Yeluqi nodded first.
"Um!"
The Tibetan, Turkic and other envoys also spoke in agreement.
But at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the side hall,
"How can that be done! Since we are here to congratulate Ruyang on the founding of the country, how can we go to the banquet without knowing anything about it? If the matter spreads, others will think that we and other countries do not understand etiquette!"
Whoosh!
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the envoys from various countries froze and they all looked towards the side hall.
Isn't this deliberately looking for trouble?
Who is it!
The envoys from all walks of life couldn't help but frown when they looked at the person who spoke. It was none other than the ghost-faced counselor of the Great Yan Envoy. At this time, he was standing together with the ministers of the Great Zhou Envoy to discuss something.
"you......"
Yeluqi was about to speak when the ghost-faced counselor came to his father-in-law.
"My father-in-law, please go back and tell your Majesty that we will still give you gifts. If you don't give gifts...it will be even more embarrassing to attend the banquet."
"This... Since this is the case, how about we report it to Your Majesty first?"
The father-in-law was stunned for a moment and quickly came to his senses.
He can't make the decision on this kind of thing, and if someone wants to give a gift in public, it's not polite for Long Guo to stop him.
"Thank you, father-in-law!"
The ghost-faced counselor nodded.
"My lords, wait a moment!"
The father-in-law nodded and exited the hall.
...
"Envoy of Dayan, what do you mean?"
As soon as the father-in-law left, many messengers immediately gathered around him with angry expressions on their faces, especially Cookies from Tubo, who stared intently at the ghost-faced counselor.
The gifts brought by Tubo this time were not very good either.
"Everyone, please be patient. Haven't you noticed that Li Mo has been leading us by the nose? After all, we are also a big country, but you are acting like a subsidiary country of the Dragon Kingdom.
...Don't forget...Dragon Kingdom has the smallest army among all the capitals, the smallest population, and the weakest overall national strength.
However, the Dragon Kingdom can completely control you all with just a few rare gadgets, seven or eight top warriors, and this inner palace.
Isn’t this embarrassing?”
The ghost-faced counselor not only did not panic when he was surrounded, but instead smiled coldly, quite mockingly.
"you......"
Cookie, Yeluqi and others wanted to refute but didn't know how to speak.
As the ghost-faced counselor said, it really means something like this.
They originally came from a big country, but they were so frightened by what Ruyang showed that they dared not speak. They had long since lost their original intention and domineering attitude when they first came here.
"But... there are many rare things in the Dragon Kingdom, and the gifts we brought are too ordinary. If we take them out, it will make the Dragon Kingdom think that we are poor."
