"Reporting to the King! The Demon King Catfish has been killed on the spot! I hope the King will learn from it!"
After Qiao Hou Gongshu Pan and Shui Hou entered the main hall, they looked at a blurry figure behind the curtain and reported.
"These are the remains of the Demon King Catfish!"
Qiaohou Gongshupan then took out a storage bag, raised it high, and said.
"Caiying, go and submit it!"
A majestic voice sounded from the curtain, and then an old man dressed like a eunuch standing next to Emperor Yu came out. Qiaohou and Shuihou watched Emperor Yu's personal eunuch come out, and they
He looked at and said hello.
"Eunuch Li!"
"Eunuch Li!"
Li Caiying also looked at Qiaohou and Shuihou with smiles on their faces, and secretly transmitted congratulations.
"Gongshu! Lao Li! Congratulations to you two. You two did a good job this time. The king is very satisfied with the news you two sent back!"
"hehe--"
Qiaohou and Shuihou had no choice but to chat, and then Li Caiying took the storage bag presented by Qiaohou and walked behind the curtain until they handed the storage bag to Emperor Yu for inspection.
After Emperor Yu took the storage bag, he released the power of his soul and began to look into the storage bag.
Then he handed the storage bag to Li Caiying beside him. After Li Caiying handed the storage bag to Qiaohou and Shuihou again, he spoke calmly.
"Thank you for your hard work, dear sirs. This Catfish is the right-hand man of the Black Dragon King. Now that the Catfish has been taken, it is equivalent to breaking the Black Dragon King's arm! But why do I sense several kinds of flames from it?
! Could it be that the two beloved ladies got help from the master from the Dan League!"
"King Mingjian! It is true that the demon king Catfish did not fall in the hands of the two of us. Instead, after I and Shui Hou injured Catfish, Catfish was killed by a disciple of the eldest princess who was in the middle stage of the Golden Core when he fled towards the mouth of the sea.
!”
"It is said that the eldest princess, a retainer, has some connections with our Yu Kingdom. Your Majesty still remembers that when he escorted His Highness the Fifth Prince back from the East China Sea last time, His Highness was besieged by the monks of the Black Flood Clan in the East China Sea. Marquis Yang once recommended a fellow sect
The monk, the fall of Demon King Catfish is related to him, and now he has become the guest of the eldest princess!"
"You are talking about the island owner of Nihility Island, the descendant of Granny Bing, the demon king Catfish he killed!"
When Emperor Yu heard what Qiao Hou said, a trace of surprise flashed across his expression.
"Well! When the two of us discovered the fluctuation, after we went there, we found that the owner of the Void Island was the only one there, and he was seriously injured! And the demon king Catfish's body had also been burned into this skeleton by his flames!"
Qiaohou then replied.
"Marquis of Water! Can you feel other fluctuations there? You are more familiar with it in the water!"
After Emperor Yu heard Qiaohou's answer, he then looked at Shuihou Lishun and asked.
"It is true as Qiaohou said, after Qiaohou and I arrived, there was indeed only that one monk in that water area. Although I could still sense a few breaths of foundation-building monks in the water, they had already turned into blood mist.
It’s like what the Demon King Catfish did!”
Shui Hou Lishun did not dare to be vague. The situation he saw when he arrived at the scene was indeed like that of the monk, and the remaining flame aura on the skeleton of the Demon King Catfish was exactly the same as the aura exuding from that person.
"Um!"
When Emperor Yu heard Shui Hou's answer, he did not reply immediately, and the surrounding atmosphere instantly became quiet.
Qiaohou and Shuihou could not figure out the king's thoughts at this time, so they could only wait quietly.
In this way, about ten breaths passed before Emperor Yu's voice sounded from behind the curtain.
"Tailing! According to my Dayu's military merit standards, if you kill the demon king, how will you be rewarded!"
"Report to your Majesty, kill the enemy Nascent Soul Demon King, and grant him the title of Marquis. I will be rewarded with one thousand battle merits, one million spiritual stones, and a thousand hectares of land!"
Li Caiying, the personal eunuch beside Emperor Yu, then slowly spoke out.
"But Your Majesty, the death of Demon King Catfish is indispensable to the contributions of Qiaohou and Shuihou. And as far as I know, the Demon King Catfish was seriously injured by Qiaohou and Shuihou on the way to escape. I think the Jindan
The monks in the middle period just got lucky and took advantage of Qiaohou and Shuihou, and gained the credit of Qiaohou and Shuihou in vain!"
"Needless to say, the contributions of Qiaohou and Shuihou! However, the rules cannot be abolished. The matters regarding the title of marquis still need to be discussed. Caiying, let's do this! Send a message quickly to inform several highnesses and princesses, as well as all the marquis monks from Yu Kingdom.
, come to the palace quickly to discuss matters and then make a decision!"
When Emperor Yu heard what Li Caiying said next to him, he made up his mind and continued to give instructions.
"Let's stop here today! Qiaohou! Shuihou! You two have had a hard time on this trip. Go back and rest first! We will discuss it later in the day and in the DPRK!"
Qiaohou and Shuihou heard what the king said, and Li Caiying, who was beside the king just now, spoke for them. They also knew that the king's personal eunuch was very unusual, but this time the king asked His Highness, the princess, and everyone
It seems a bit too solemn for a monk with the rank of marquis to come to discuss matters.
"Qiaohou! Do you know how the king arranged it? After listening to the king's words today, does the implication really mean that the monk is made a prince?"
Qiaohou and Shuihou left the back of the palace. After walking out of the main hall, Shuihou Lishun looked at Qiaohou Gong's loser and asked.
"Hehe! The king has never made a marquis like this before. After all, this little friend Jiang is a little special this time! He killed the demon king, or maybe the king is not ready to make him a marquis. In short, the king wants to see everyone
Opinion!"
"Although you and I injured the Demon King Catfish, you and I both know the strength of the Demon King Catfish. It is not that easy to deal with. If it were easy to deal with, it wouldn't have escaped from you and me twice in a row! It's so thin.
You and I both understand why a camel is bigger than a horse!"
When Qiaohou Gongshupan heard Shuihou speaking, he also continued.
"I think that boy must be hiding a secret! How about we find a time now to call that boy over and ask him a question!"
Shuihou Lishun thought about it and said, after all, he knew the gap between the Golden Core Stage and the Nascent Soul Stage.
"Hehe! Shui Hou! I still advise you. I heard that this boy is a monk with five elements of spiritual roots. You also know his qualifications. But I have seen this boy with my own eyes. In just a few years, he has gone from building a foundation to where he is now.
It’s amazing! It’s amazing!”
"Although you and I have the strength to catch him and question him, this person is a monk from the same sect as Marquis Yang, and his relationship with Marquis Yang is extraordinary. Now he is a disciple of the eldest princess.
, and also escorted His Highness the Fifth! His Highness the Fifth has a lot of voices in the court now!"
"And there is another important point. You also know about Nihility Island. He is now the owner of Nihility Island, and he has some connections with the leader of the Dan Alliance! The Dan Alliance has been the king's target from the beginning to the end!"
"That's what I'm going to say. There are a lot of people with secrets in this world! No one in the realm like you and me has any secrets!"
"If nothing happens! I will go back home first!"
After Qiaohou finished saying this, he left the place, leaving Shuihou alone.
"No wonder Qiaohou has always been on good terms with others! Although I, Lao Li, come from a foreign race and do not participate in the affairs of your highnesses, I can still sort things out!"
"I didn't expect you, Qiaohou, to actually say this to me. I don't know whether it was intentional or not. It seems that you want to tell me not to play tricks! Let me take sides! Qiaohou, Qiaohou! It doesn't matter! This time I will always
Li, thank you for letting me know!"
Shui Hou Lishun thought about it in his mind, and then walked towards his cave.
In the recent years of war between humans and demons, Shuihou, as a monk of the demon clan, although he was one of the followers of Emperor Yu in the early years, has always kept to himself and rarely participated in these battles. He practiced in seclusion in his own cave and was really ignorant of the outside world.
Not too concerned.
Although he said he didn't care, his people often nagged him in his ears, letting him know a lot of things about the outside world. Although the king didn't say anything in these years, there were many people in the court who talked in his ears.
Blowing the wind has made him controversial, especially among his clan members, and has been looked down upon by some monks.
The monks of Qiaohou's lineage are pretty decent towards their own clansmen. Now it is vaguely reported that Qiaohou and Yanghou are the ones who support the eldest princess. It seems that Qiaohou is also showing his goodwill to himself, reminding himself!
…
After Qiaohou and Shuihou left the hall, Emperor Yu and his personal eunuch Li Caiying were the only ones left in the hall. At this moment, Emperor Yu suddenly coughed heavily.
"Cough-cough-"
"My lord, are you okay?"
Li Caiying immediately stepped forward, looked at Emperor Yu in front of him worriedly and said.
"It doesn't matter! My injury didn't last for a day or two! It's not like you don't know the skills I practiced! But what I didn't expect was that the Black Dragon King's strength has increased a lot! It seems that his improvement in strength this time is in line with the demon clan.
related!"
Emperor Yu waved his hand, thinking of the battle with the Black Dragon King, and said.
"Your Majesty! It's all the slave's fault. If it weren't for the king's sake, he wouldn't have been attacked by the Black Dragon King!"
When Li Caiying heard what Emperor Yu said, she couldn't help but shed tears.
"Caiying! I told you a long time ago that all this has nothing to do with you, as long as your current injury slowly recovers! Just rest in peace and recuperate! Don't worry about me!"
"Now Qiaohou and Shuihou have left! You don't have to worry about anything! Let's talk about it. Do you think this middle-stage Jindan monk should be made a marquis?"
"Hehe - that slave has the audacity to speak nonsense. The king rules the world by law! He is particular about law and restraint! Since the king has set the rules, he must not break the rules by himself! This matter must have been in the king's heart for a long time.
Got the answer!”
"You are right! Regarding formulating military merits, one of them is about the title of marquis! The main purpose is to win over some pillar talents for our country of Yu! To enhance the top combat power of our country of Yu! It is not impossible for the monks of the Golden Core Stage to kill the demon king.
Possibly! Although the Demon King Catfish was injured first by Qiaohou and Shuihou, being able to kill an injured Demon King in the Golden Core Stage also shows its strength!"
"For this kind of monk, you can't always hide it like a magic weapon. This kind of monk needs to give him some opportunities to see if he can use it for himself. If he can't use it for himself, then he can only destroy it!"
"Everyone in the world wants to stay out of things, but who in this world can stay out of it! Look at that old carp, he just can't understand this. He thinks that he can get a good reputation by staying out of things, and no one will be offended. But once he steps into the water of this world
, but we can’t help him! I hope he can understand it after this time!”
"That's what the king said! Could it be that the king is taking advantage of this opportunity to discuss the matter to see how everyone reacts!"
"Well! Jin Hai has been gone for a long time——"
Emperor Yu and his personal eunuch Li Caiying chatted in the main hall for a long time. After the news about Emperor Yu spread, several royal highnesses and princesses, as well as several monks from the marquis arrived, and it was already half a month later.
As the discussion began, after everyone listened to what Emperor Yu said, it was about Jiang Tian's killing of the demon king and whether he should be made a marquis now!
As Emperor Yu raised the topic of becoming a prince and solicited everyone's opinions, everyone was speechless for a moment. However, this quiet scene was only temporary. After the atmosphere was quiet for a while, a monk finally stood up.
He got up, glanced at everyone, then looked at Emperor Yu and said.
"Your Majesty! Xiaohou thinks that although Captain Jiang killed the Demon King Catfish, the credit should not go to Jiang Captain, but to Qiaohou and Shuihou! So I object to Jiang Colonel being granted the title of Marquis!"
The speaker was a late-stage Jindan monk with the Taoist name Wuchen Taoist. He was also a monk who was granted the title of Marquis by Emperor Yu.
"Marquis in the world of mortals! Our country, Yu, rules the world by law! Although Lieutenant Jiang's killing of the demon king is a bit tricky, it is a fact after all. If we cannot make a prince, wouldn't it make the world laugh at our majestic Yu country! In the future, we, the country of Yu, will still have laws and regulations.
Who agrees! So I agree that it is necessary for Jiang Xiaowei to be granted the title of Marquis!"
Just as Taoist Chenjianhou Wuchen finished speaking, a figure stood up immediately and objected.
The monk who stood up to argue was Taoist Jinding Hou Jinding. He also had a late-stage cultivation of Jinding. He was once a famous alchemy practitioner in Zhongzhou. After joining the Yu Kingdom, he made a lot of contributions to the development of the Yu Kingdom's elixirs.
, was also given a title by Emperor Yu.
"Jin Dinghou! You——"
When Taoist Chenjianhou Wuchen heard what Taoist Jindinghou Jinding said, he blew his beard and glared in anger. For a moment, they looked at each other, and neither of them was convinced by the other.
