The fate between people is sometimes like this, changeable and unpredictable.
But Feng Lintao is also an unusual person, just like Lan Yao's description of him at the beginning: This person is selfish and indifferent, cruel and suspicious, but he is also good at forbearance.
So since he chose to surrender to the human race, he had simulated all the situations in his mind. Although he had some complicated emotions when he saw Xu Qing, he quickly put them down.
During this process, he did not hide his thoughts, but openly showed them on his face and expression.
This is what he is good at.
As a half-blooded Demon Yu, he can practice step by step to reach Yun Shen in the Demon Feather Holy Land, so he naturally has his own way of survival.
He has been able to use everything around him, including using his own emotions, since he was a child.
Here today, he wants to use this to prove his sincerity.
After all...in the past few months since he surrendered, he had been kept aside, and the Emperor had not made any arrangements for him.
This made him a little uneasy.
He knew that this was a sign that the empress did not fully accept her surrender to him.
I'm still in a wait-and-see attitude here.
So he needs to take advantage of this opportunity to increase his sincerity.
With such thoughts in mind, Feng Lintao's bow to Xu Qing felt a little bit like he was sincerely convinced.
Xu Qing looked at Feng Lintao in front of him with a calm expression and said nothing.
There is no joy or anger, nor any emotion contained in it.
Although he didn't speak, Er Niu started laughing at this moment. He was playing with the holy vine in his hand and speaking with a smile.
"Xiao Fengzi, long time no see."
When Feng Lintao turned around and looked at Er Niu, his expression was still filled with emotion, and he cupped his fists and bowed.
"I have seen Da Tiangang. What happened that day was Feng's fault. I hope Da Tiangang and Taifu will not take it to heart. Although I surrender to the human race this time, it is a helpless move, but my heart is true."
With these words, Feng Lintao not only chose to bow his head, expressing the respect due to him being in a weak position, but also indirectly pointed out that he did know Xu Qing and Er Niu.
However, Xu Qing could understand this thought at a glance, and with Erniu's poisonous eyes, how could he not see it.
At this moment Erniu heard the words and raised the divine vine in his hand, smiling with some joy.
"How could it be? Last time you gave Xiao Aqing and I so many good things, I haven't even thanked you for being such a good person."
Feng Lintao smiled bitterly on the surface, but he couldn't help but feel upset in his heart.
In the final analysis, he actually doesn't hate Xu Qing much. The focus of his hatred is Erniu.
It was Erniu who deceived him and let him carry it all the way.
It was Erniu who was dying throughout the whole process, making him a rare negligent person.
It was at the critical moment that Erniu bit the divine vine, causing his trump card to immediately disintegrate.
That's why he was later hunted down by Lan Yao and Yuedong.
But originally, without Erniu, he could have turned defeat into victory.
The root cause is right in front of you.
But he couldn't show his hatred.
So Feng Lintao took a deep breath and was about to suppress his turbulent thoughts, but at this moment, Erniu continued to say mean words.
"Come on, dear Teng, and say hello to your benefactor."
Erniu proudly raised the divine vine.
Shen Teng turned his head, and the leaves on his body swayed slightly...
Feng Lintao remained silent, trying hard not to break his defense.
Seeing that Er Niu was still about to speak, Dazai, who was standing not far away, coughed, interrupting Er Niu's interest and looked at Xu Qing.
"This time, His Majesty summoned the Grand Tutor to return. In addition to military matters, there is another matter that needs to be verified."
When Xu Qing heard this, he looked at the human race's grand master.
"But what about Feng Lintao's identity?"
Dazai nodded.
"Not only that, the specific details are in this object, please take a look at it."
With that said, Dazai took out a jade slip and floated it in front of Xu Qing. It contained all of Feng Lintao's words.
Xu Qing took it, looked at it, pondered for a few breaths, and spoke slowly.
"The first time I met this person was on the way back to the human race from Yanyue Xuantian. The specific experience was recorded on a jade slip, which recorded the cause and effect."
"As for the entanglement between this person and Lan Yaoyuedong, when Xu went to see it, it was true that they had murderous intentions for each other. If my senior brother and I hadn't helped each other that day, this person probably wouldn't have escaped death."
"The appearance of senior brother and I, judging from the circumstances, is a coincidence."
"And if the Demon Feather Holy Land had chosen to use Feng Lintao as a scapegoat to surrender before it arrived, it is unlikely."
"As for the final decision, His Majesty still needs to make a decision."
After Xu Qing finished speaking, he stopped talking.
Dazai nodded after hearing this.
Xu Qing's words can be regarded as supporting evidence of Feng Lintao's surrender.
This made Feng Lintao feel relieved.
In the following court meeting, most of the reports from the officials were about the war, and Xu Qing had a general understanding of the current situation and losses in the war.
Overall, not optimistic.
The entire hall gradually became filled with a depressing atmosphere.
Feng Lintao listened in his ears and did not dare to make any small move in his heart. In his opinion, if he had a choice, it would be better not to listen to these wars.
An hour later, the court meeting ended, and Feng Lintao left quickly and respectfully.
Xu Qing didn't move.
Until everyone in the hall left, only Xu Qing Erniu and Empress Ning Yan were left.
Xu Qing stood up and bowed to the empress.
"His Majesty sent word that Xu is here. What are your instructions?"
The empress' eyes fell on Er Niu.
Erniu pretended not to see it.
After a moment, the empress spoke calmly.
"Xu Qing, please do one thing for me."
When Xu Qing heard this, his face did not change at all, and he waited for the next step.
"I want you to find a way to capture Lan Yao alive. If you can't capture him alive, you must bring his body back."
Xu Qing's eyes showed doubts.
"Lanyao?"
Xu Qing had an impression of this woman, and in his memory, through the conversation between her and Feng Lintao in Liaoxuan Cave, he could tell that Lan Yao seemed to have a lot of power behind her in the Magic Feather Holy Land.
But even so, it shouldn't be so important that the Empress should pay attention to this woman alone.
Ning Yan was also surprised. He didn't know why his mother spoke like this.
"Lanyao's identity is not simple."
Facing the doubts of Xu Qing and Ning Yan, the empress spoke expressionlessly.
"There are two great emperors in the Demon Feather Holy Land."
"One person seems to have died."
"Lanyao is a descendant of the suspected fallen emperor. According to my information, she has pure blood in her family."
"By bringing her back, I can use her bloodline to know whether the great emperor really died, and it will also have other uses."
After the empress finished speaking, she raised her hand and took out a white jade slip.
The material of this jade slip is special. It seems to exist, but it also has an illusory feeling, as if it is formed by the condensation of light, which is extremely wonderful.
"If you encounter force majeure on the way, Xu Qing, you can crush this light jade and I will come in person."
The empress waved her hand, and the light jade came straight to Xu Qing.
Xu Qing caught it and immediately felt a strong pressure emanating from the light jade.
Xu Qing thought for a while, and after obeying the order, he put the light jade away.
"Your Majesty, if I want to capture Lan Yao alive, I have to use Feng Lintao. Only by using him as bait will Lan Yao appear."
"However, this person is cunning and involves life and death. It is difficult to cooperate fully. He will definitely leave himself with a back-up. If he conceals it, then ordinary methods will be discovered by him. Once he knows that he has become a bait, other twists and turns may occur.
"
Xu Qing spoke slowly.
"How are you doing?"
The empress looked at Xu Qing.
Before Xu Qing could speak, Er Niu's eyes lit up after hearing the whole story from beginning to end, and he suddenly interrupted.
"I have a solution!"
As he spoke, his lips moved slightly and he transmitted the message to Xu Qing and the empress.
For a long while, Xu Qing looked strange, while Er Niu was extremely proud.
The empress looked thoughtful and spoke calmly.
"allow."
Xu Qing stood up, said goodbye to the empress, and left the hall with Er Niu, who was excited and looking forward to it.
In the main hall, Ning Yan watched Xu Qing's leaving figure eagerly, intending to follow him or ask what they were talking about...
But when he was with his mother, he didn't dare to leave without permission.
"Yan'er, write an imperial edict."
When Ning Yan yearned for the outside world in his heart, the empress' calm voice echoed.
Ning Yan immediately became solemn, bowed his head and said yes.
…
Just like that, five days passed.
Xu Qing and Er Niu found Wu Jianwu, who had always stayed in the human royal capital, and got back the two golden mice hatched by Wu Jianwu with the help of his experience...
An imperial edict was sent from the human race, informing the entire Wanggu Eastern Realm.
Canonize Feng Lintao and make him a bad feather in the human race.
List the achievements side by side.
"Abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and report the confidential information of the Holy Land to save our human race huge losses!"
"He is brave and sworn in with the Holy Land. He hates all the Demon Feather clansmen to the core and kills hundreds of secret intruders in the Demon Feather Holy Land on his own!"
As soon as this imperial edict came out, there was an immediate sensation in Wanggudongjie.
Feng Lintao's place immediately attracted the attention of the entire Wanggu East Realm, and various ethnic groups launched investigations one after another.
It's just that this is obviously not what he wants... This kind of moment shines brightly and becomes the center of attention, which makes him very uneasy.
What made him even more uneasy was that in the following month, things developed more and more alarmingly.
In the large number of small-scale battles between the Human Race and Demon Feather Holy Land this month, the number of victories suddenly increased. It even seemed that the Human Race had some understanding of the war layout of some Holy Lands.
And every time, the Human Emperor would reward Feng Lintao.
They even protected it and arranged many personal guards to show its importance.
There is no way that Demon Feather Holy Land would not know about such behavior and such news.
But only Feng Lintao himself understood that if he didn't know the information about the war layout, how could he tell it...
However, as time passed, a scene that soon made Feng Lintao even more frightened appeared.
That’s the title of king!
Under the projection of the peerless formation in the sky, the Holy Land is clearly visible...
In the wilderness outside the human royal capital, all the prisoners of war captured by the humans on the Holy Land side were kneeling there in dense numbers, no less than ten thousand people.
Feng Lintao, wearing a weather robe, stood in front of these prisoners of war.
The voice of the empress echoed throughout the world.
"Feng Aiqing, although you are not a human race, you are loyal and sincere to the human race, and you have made great achievements in battle. Therefore, I canonize you as the Sha Yu Heavenly King today!"
"I know that I love you and hate the Demon Feather Holy Land to the core. This time, I will use the blood of Demon Feather to make you king. I congratulate you as the king. I love you, you can kill at will!"
All attention.
The Holy Land side is watching, the human side is watching, Xu Qing and other tribes are all watching.
There are also Erniu, whose eyes are full of anticipation and excitement.
Feng Lintao was trembling in his heart, but he did not dare to show any trace of it on his face. Instead, he was filled with great excitement. As if he was completely moved, he bowed deeply toward the palace and spoke loudly.
