Chapter 435 Crocodile Tears

Prime Minister Yuan did not bother to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. He took out a jade talisman from his arms and raised his hand to strike out.

Then, the jade talisman emitted light and turned into a water mirror.

A military camp emerged in the mirror, with flags flying and military tents stretching out to the horizon.

There are no less than a thousand weapons and armor that can be seen, and they are practicing. Their halberds break through the air with a force like thunder and lightning. They are in perfect order and with a murderous aura that is shocking. At first glance, they are elite soldiers who are invincible in every battle!

Then, the picture flashed rapidly and finally stopped in a tent in the center of the military camp.

The place was packed with people, all tied up and dejected. Many were filled with righteous indignation and shouted loudly, but it seemed that this was intentional and no sound was heard...

Just a glance and Qiye almost went berserk!

He saw the four sages of the Demon Palace, Jing Wuyuan, and a group of old ministers of the dynasty...

This is a complete sweep!

Yuan Xiangguo stared at Qiye intently. Seeing that he was very excited but not insane, he felt relieved and said, "How about it, Saint Qiye, can we talk now?"

When he said this, he did not look proud, but rather deeply sad, as if he had no choice.
"You want to threaten me with them?"

Qiye had a blank expression on his face, and was terrifyingly calm!
Without using any magic power, the body became dark and gloomy! It was as if a bit of eternal night suddenly broke into the bright and spacious hall, eternal and everlasting, which made people shudder!

Everyone present was terrified from the bottom of their hearts, and became uneasy. Even the imperial guards who had already arrived and surrounded the hall shuddered in inexplicable fear!

"I have already done it. I don't bother to hide it. This is the threat!" Prime Minister Yuan seemed to have given up and admitted it very openly.

Then he asked, "So, do you agree?"

"How did you break through the Demon Palace's magic world?" Qiye asked instead of answering.

"I can tell you this, but I need you to agree to my proposal first!" said Yuan Xiangguo.

"If I agree, you will let them go?" Qiye sneered.

"Of course, I am the Prime Minister of Dayan, so I will keep my word!"

Prime Minister Yuan nodded as a matter of course.

"You, the emperor, can break your promises, why should I trust you!" Qiye was blunt.

"Your Majesty is unaware of this matter. I acted on my own initiative!"

Prime Minister Yuan immediately took the blame, and Yan Zhenqing sat at the top, saying nothing, seemingly agreeing!
"Ha ha……"

Qiye sneered three times, full of disdain!
Prime Minister Yuan was embarrassed and blushed. He said, "I just want to thoroughly understand the sufferings of the common people. As long as the seven generations of resentment are fulfilled, I can guarantee that there will be no more trouble!"

After saying this, he looked at the emperor.

Yan Zhenqing then assured: "Although this matter was decided by the Prime Minister himself, he is also loyal, and I cannot stay out of it. Saint Qiye, if you are angry, you can vent it on me..."

"I wish I could kill you!"

This was the first time that Qiye had an urgent need to kill someone. He had never felt this urgent even towards Jin Guang!
But he can't!

Although he was unwilling, he could not ignore the people in the Demon Palace!
The purple curtain of national destiny caused ripples. The simple murderous intent could actually shake it, which was enough to show the hatred in Qiye's heart!
Yan Zhenqing looked a little solemn, but he was obscured by the curtain of luck and no one could see him.

He maintained his dignity and responded solemnly: "I will set aside a large territory to settle the people of your Yinyue Dynasty. As long as they live and work in peace and contentment, they will be the people of my Great Yan in the future. In addition, if the various departments of the Demon Palace are willing, they can also serve the court. I will not treat them unfairly. Of course, the premise of all this is that you agree to Prime Minister Yuan's proposal!"

Qiye was silent for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and agreed: "It's a deal!"

"If you regret it again, I will destroy your Yan family!"

He finally issued a threat, full of murderous intent!
The imperial purple curtain was shaking, and seemed to be about to split!

Fortunately, it was stopped at once and everything became calm!
Yan Zhenqing smiled awkwardly and promised solemnly: "My words are as good as gold, and I will never go back on my word!"

Qiye sneered at this and turned to Yuan Xiangguo: "Now you can speak..."

"Shangguan Yu'er, you are familiar with her, right? I spent a lot of money to find a secret medicine, gave it to her, and asked her to go to the Demon Palace. She has a good relationship with the four sages of the Demon Palace, so she was not on guard. So she easily entered the Yinyue Realm and wiped out the main force of the Demon Palace. Afterwards, she also worked together inside and outside to remove the Yinyue Barrier, allowing Shangguan Yuanfan to lead his Kamikaze Army to successfully drive straight in, and suppressed all the people of the Demon Palace without much effort!"

Prime Minister Yuan told us everything he knew, as if he really kept his word, but everyone could hear the evil intention hidden in his words. The old general wanted to say a few fair words, but when he looked at the emperor who was sitting hidden under the purple curtain, looking blurry and indifferent, he opened his mouth, but only let out a helpless sigh hidden in his heart, which he dared not show to others!

Qiye seemed to be thinking about something, and then asked, "I have another question. How did you convince Shangguan Yuer?"

Considering Shangguan Yuer's selfish character, unless she was out of her mind, he would never understand why the other party dared to do this!
"That's easy. She killed my son, my only son. My Yuan family has no descendants. I found her, asked her for help, and promised to write off all grudges!" Yuan Xiangguo's reply was very calm, but it made people feel inexplicably sad. "You wrote off all grudges..."

"Okay, very good..."

Qiye laughed out loud, with tears in his eyes and full of hatred!

"I planned all of this. If you want to hate someone, just hate me, don't vent your anger on others! I'll give you an explanation right now..."

Prime Minister Yuan roared, as if he was daring to take responsibility for his actions, and immediately rushed towards the golden pillar of the main hall without hesitation...

"Ai Qing..."

Yan Zhenqing was horrified and stood up, stretching out his hand to stop him. The old eunuch immediately executed his orders and turned into a stream of light and rushed over. However, he was still a step too late. With a bang, Prime Minister Yuan's head exploded like a watermelon. It can be seen that he had already determined to die and did not give himself any leeway!
"Alas... why are you doing this?"

Yan Zhenqing sighed heavily, and a tear of regret was visibly flowing from the corner of his eye!

Qiye sneered disdainfully and asked, "When will they be released..."

Yan Zhenqing sat down sadly and replied: "It can be done right now..."

"Are you not afraid that I will regret it?"

Qiye was surprised.

"You can try……"

Yan Zhenqing narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled faintly, which was quite meaningful!

Qiye didn't comment, but just said: "I need to prepare!"

Then he added: "I need to convince Xiaoqian that I am not the only one who has been resentful for seven lifetimes!"

"This is natural!"

Yan Zhenqing nodded to show his understanding!

Then, as if to show his sincerity, he immediately ordered the old general: "Uncle, please go and tell Xiang Yuanfan to move the people of the Demon Palace to Ninggu Road and properly settle them. Also, bring the Four Sages of the Demon Palace back to the capital and invite them to attend the wedding of the Seven Nights Saint!"

"Yes!"

The old general immediately took the order and left.

"Saint Lord Qiye, are you satisfied with my arrangement?" Yan Zhenqing asked.

"Humph……"

Qiye said nothing, just snorted coldly and walked away.

Immediately, Yan Zhenqing issued an order: "You all should retreat!"

The imperial guards outside the palace received the order and retreated like a flood.

Yan Chixia followed Qiye closely!

Jin Guang then bowed and took his leave, caught up with the two of them, and continued to lead the way.

The three of them returned along the same route, all in silence.

When Yan Chixia was about to leave the Meridian Gate, he finally opened his mouth, but before he could make a sound, Jin Guang took the initiative to say, "I know what you want to ask. I don't know anything about this matter!"

After that, he added: "If you don't believe me, I can swear on my heart!"

Seeing him say this, Yan Chixia was speechless, and could only say angrily: "It's better this way!"

And from beginning to end, Qiye had no reaction.

At this point, it’s useless to pursue these issues any further!
The golden light reached outside the Meridian Gate, then stopped. Without saying anything, it turned around and went back, looking quite menacing.

It seemed that he was really kept in the dark, and this time he went there, he wanted to bring the matter to justice!

Yan Chixia followed Qiye, and the two of them walked around the street in silence for a long time. Finally, when Yan Chixia could no longer bear it, Qiye started to go home.

The two of them entered the palace with heavy hearts. Before they reached the Maple Forest Courtyard, a loud announcement came from the front yard: "The imperial edict has arrived..."
