Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 490: I don’t have time to see him today
At this time, these nobles realized that Jessica was no longer the slave they could control. There was a powerful empire and a god-like man behind her.

Facing the Daqian soldiers with murderous intent in their eyes, everyone felt panicked.

But as nobles, they don't want to compromise too easily.

Just as the atmosphere became increasingly tense, Lawrence, the messenger from the Holy See, came out.

"Gentlemen, this is Daqian, you must abide by Daqian's rules, put away your arrogance, and don't delay the business!"

When Lawrence said this, everyone went down the steps, pretending that nothing had happened, and the nobleman who had drawn his sword also put it back.

Lawrence came to Jessica, smiled slightly and said: "I am an envoy from the Holy See. There are also envoys from the German Empire, Charlemagne Empire, and Alexander Empire here, bringing gifts and sincerity to pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor Daqian."

"Okay, sir."

Jessica nodded without being humble, and then reported to the garrison general.

When he heard that it was a foreign mission, he did not dare to delay and quickly sent someone on a motorcycle to the capital to report to Honglu Temple.

Then a team of 800 people was sent out, watching everyone walking slowly towards the capital.

Time was tight and there was no carriage arrangement.

Many soldiers rode motorcycles or bicycles, and even Jessica got on a three-wheeled motorcycle.

But these western nobles could only go there on foot.

These people looked ugly and felt humiliated, but they did not dare to explode.

Soon, they saw Daqian New City and were stunned by the scene in front of them.

After a while of exclamation, the young minister of Honglu Temple finally came over with a large number of carriages.

Then he contacted the nobles according to diplomatic etiquette, arranged for everyone to get on the carriage, got into the car with everyone's envious eyes, and drove towards Honglu Temple.

Jessica, who was originally at the bottom of society, played a huge role because Li Changfeng was too lazy to pay attention to these people, chatting with people she was not even qualified to meet.

After arranging everyone, the young minister of Honglu Temple went to the palace to report the matter to Emperor Qianwu. Emperor Qianwu originally planned to summon everyone early the next morning, but after thinking about it, he postponed it to the day after tomorrow.

He asked the young minister of Honglu Temple to take the message. Because there were many misunderstandings today, a formal welcome ceremony will be held tomorrow. His Royal Highness Prince Daqian will lead some officials to show his attention, and then there will be a grand banquet.

After the young minister of Honglu Temple left, Emperor Qianwu sent someone to summon Li Jianye into the palace. The two discussed for a long time before leaving.

Then, Gao Dali came to Li Changfeng's house.

Knowing the purpose of Gao Dali's visit, Li Changfeng thought for a moment and replied: "Tell my father, I won't show up tomorrow. Jianye's identity is enough. He will definitely be able to handle the matter properly. The court will meet him tomorrow." The prince will arrive at the Xuanzheng Hall on time."

Li Changfeng had no interest in participating in this kind of thing.

But when I heard that an envoy from the Holy See was coming, I agreed to go, hoping to find out what the Holy See's attitude was now so that I could respond early.

After all, it involves immortal cultivators, which is not something Emperor Qianwu can handle.

Gao Dali bowed and said with a smile: "Okay, Your Highness, I will go back to the palace to report to Your Majesty."

"Thank you for your hard work, Lao Gao."

Li Changfeng smiled, took out a wad of banknotes and stuffed them into Gao Dali's hand.

Although his current status and personal strength are extraordinary and not what they were when he first entered the capital, he has not arrogantly commanded the powerful people who have been moving towards him.

Gao Dali was quite moved, and without being pretentious, he accepted the banknote and said with a smile, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

Immediately, Gao Dali returned to the palace to resume his life.As soon as Gao Dali left, Lawrence came to visit with an entourage and gifts.

After learning that he was a visitor from the Western Vatican, Li Changfeng pondered for a moment and then said to his servant: "Go and tell him that I don't have time to see him today. If you have any questions, I'll tell you in the palace the day after."

He believed that the Western Holy See, which had suffered heavy losses after losing three immortal cultivators one after another, had realized his power and would no longer have any ill intentions towards him. This visit to Daqian must be for peace.

Lawrence came with gifts as proof.

At this time, it is necessary to show off the airs and kill their spirit, so that they realize that Daqian does not take them seriously.

The servant bowed and said yes, and soon arrived outside the mansion. He said rather arrogantly to Lawrence who was waiting at the door: "Our Highness said that we don't have time to see you today. We can wait until the day after tomorrow to discuss anything."

Lawrence looked calm and seemed not surprised at all. He bowed and said, "Okay."

Then he left gifts with his entourage and left.

With his status as an envoy of the Holy See, he was definitely a person who walked sideways in the Western world. Even the emperors of major empires had to treat him with respect when meeting him.

But this identity is of no use in Daqian.

And because of the heavy losses suffered by the cultivators of the Holy See before, the Pope did not dare to send out masters of this level anymore, so he only sent out a great knight like him who had a level of cultivation comparable to that of a first-grade Grandmaster Da Gan.

With such strength, he would not dare to make any mistakes in his efforts.

Back at Honglu Temple, the banquet had been arranged. After Lawrence and everyone had eaten, they visited Daqian Night Market under the leadership of the Honglu Temple Shaoqing.

Everyone was shocked by the electric lights everywhere in the night market and the bustling scene, and realized the power of Daqian.

In contrast, in the imperial capital of their country, thieves and robbers were rampant at night, and almost no one went out.

That night, they almost didn't sleep well and felt unprecedented pressure.

Early the next morning, the young minister of Honglu Temple called them up early.

After breakfast, he led everyone outside the city to attend a welcome ceremony specially prepared by Daqian.

Soon, they understood that this drinking ceremony was not that simple, because the place they came to was a military camp.

Li Jianye, dressed in a python robe, was waiting at the door.

Behind them stood a row of soldiers, each holding a musket in an arrogant manner. Farther away was a row of artillery pieces. Their thick and dark cannon bodies gave people a strong sense of oppression.

Jessica knew Li Jianye's identity and quickly introduced him to Lawrence and others.

"Everyone, this is my eleventh prince, His Highness Li Jianye. Please bow quickly."

Lawrence and others did not dare to neglect, and quickly bowed and saluted.

"It's an honor to meet you, Your Highness the Eleventh Prince of Daqian!"

Li Jianye laughed loudly and walked quickly.

"Okay! I am also very happy to see you."

Immediately afterwards, Lawrence and others introduced their identities one by one and the empire they represented behind them.

After the tedious introduction, Li Jianye stepped aside and made a gesture of please.

"Everyone, please come with me and see what the welcome ceremony I have prepared for you is like!"
