Your Majesty the Empress, I am really not a traitor!

This is easy to understand, because no matter how ruthless and devout the executioners are, they are still human after all, and as long as they are human, they have their own weaknesses.

Once the next actions are known, the actions of their church cannot continue.Moreover, the executioners are the absolute elite of the church. They are killing machines to fight against alien species and enemies within the church. The cost of training an executioner is not low. If possible, the church still hopes to recycle it.

More importantly, they don't know whether these executioners will tell some bad things about the church.Once they make a move, what if someone releases your inside story and ruins your reputation?

In this way, although those devout believers will still firmly believe in the interpretation of the church, others may not.It is not impossible for other forces to take advantage of this to attack.

Therefore, they dare not continue the next action.

What Qin Ji likes is the value of these two people.As for the information, it has something to do with them, but it is not the most important thing—Qin Ji is not going to confront the church head-on now, this time the mission is only to visit the Weixi Empire, as long as the safety of the visiting group and Xia Yuxiao can be guaranteed , Information or anything is actually not important.

"Since you've said that, then I think I should rest assured." Xia Yuxiao also agreed with Qin Ji's thoughts.

In fact, her thinking now is that "it's a good thing to be able to go back safely". After all, this is not Daxia's territory, and there are not many people in the visiting group, so it is impossible to be tough with the church.

If this is Daxia's territory, if you dare to plot to assassinate the Emperor Daxia, surround him with a camp at the gate of your church every minute to see who is tough.

"It's good that your majesty can understand," Qin Ji said while taking out a map from his body. "There is a lake in the north of Wittnen. If your majesty is interested, I can go with your majesty to enjoy the lake view."

"Well, okay, let's go then."

Chapter 32 A Sudden Word

Xia Yuxiao quietly looked at Qin Ji who was sitting on the bow of the boat.

At this time, he was on the boat, looking forward while rowing.

The afternoon sun shines on the lake, making it so warm that you even feel a little hot.

Xia Yuxiao and Song Jingqing were sitting on the boat. This time, the three of them didn't say anything, just wandering on the lake with the boat.Qin Ji also seemed to have completely forgotten the intrigues on the shore. Instead, he rowed and sat down, admiring the beautiful scenery around him, letting the boat float on the water to his heart's content.

Rarely clean.

Finally, Qin Ji spoke up:

"Your Majesty, do you like it here?"

"like."

Xia Yuxiao answered truthfully.

In fact, there are lakes all over Daxia, and there is an artificial lake behind the palace.

However, every time Xia Yuxiao took a boat on the lake, she saw the glazed tiles of her palace and the pavilions and pavilions in her palace from a distance, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

She is still rarely like this, sitting on the boat in a daze without thinking about anything.

"Master Taiwei, I remember that your ancestors didn't seem to be from the original Daxia?"

Song Jingqing was lying on the side of the boat, watching the school of fish swimming underwater, and then asked casually.

"Oh, it is true that my ancestors were not from Daxia, or strictly speaking, they were not from Daxia before," Qin Ji did not evade this question, "Going down seven generations, our family is located in the southeast of the Saar Dynasty. The civilians of the Qikuo country on the border. Because of the war, they fled to the territory of Daxia, and gradually took root in Daxia, until my great-grandfather’s generation, basically they are completely Daxia people.”

"According to the words back then, our family is actually a 'barbarian' - of course, your Majesty the Qikuo Kingdom also knows that, and later it was also under the control of Daxia."

In fact, it is not that difficult to subdue the Qikuo country. Daxia has a great influence on the surrounding countries, so that a country like Qikuo country, which is stable, has formed a very strong dependence on Daxia.

Later, because of the "humiliating special envoy" incident of the Qikuo Kingdom, Daxia was completely angered by the Qikuo King's arrogance, and threatened the border with Chen Bing, demanding an explanation from the Qikuo King.

Unexpectedly, King Qikuo, who everyone thought would end up with Daxia, actually performed a wave of kneeling in an instant, directly announcing that Qikuo Kingdom would regard Daxia as the Lord of Qikuo Kingdom...

This operation made it impossible for the king of the Saar Dynasty (also known as Saye at that time) and the emperor of Daxia to be able to deal with it. In addition, many people in the country have long relied on the economy and culture of Daxia, and finally contracted In this way, Kuo State became the territory of Daxia, and it is now called "Qi State County".

Such a magical plot led many people in later generations to speculate that King Qikuo probably deliberately provoked Daxia to provoke a legitimate reason for being "threatened" and merged into Daxia in a justifiable name.

After all, there was a long period of civil strife in the Qikuo Kingdom at that time, and the separatist forces seized power from each other very fiercely.Daxia doesn't care about this - after all, Daxia doesn't care about other people's internal affairs.

However, the action of King Qikuo made the civil war come to an end. Because of the threat of Daxia, all parties in the civil war dared not jump around, for fear that someone would take over the mess, and after Daxia merged Qikuo into the territory, No one dared to stir up civil unrest.

After all, no one thinks that they can beat the 60 Great Xia army.

In the end, King Qikuo enjoyed the glory and wealth as "King Qikuo" until he was over 90 years old and died.

Therefore, everyone who knew the Qin family knew that the Qin Ji family was once a "barbarian", but no one raised any objections, because they were already Xia people.

"However, Lord Taiwei, with all due respect, I think you are more qualified to call yourself a Daxia than most Daxia people."

"I'm originally from Daxia. How long has the Qikuo Kingdom been?" Qin Ji hurriedly said, "Tell me, why am I more qualified to call myself a Daxia?"

"Taiwei has been both civil and military since he was young. After the death of the first emperor, he has devoted himself to assisting the government, overpowering the officials, and assisting His Majesty with all his strength. He has also made great contributions to the outside world by expanding the territory. Taiwei, your contribution is overwhelming. People in Daxia can't do it."

"President Song is over-rewarded, I just did my duty as a courtier."

Qin Ji smiled and said a few words modestly.

"You are humble again, have you forgotten? When you were on the expedition, you once yelled in front of those barbarians such bold words as 'I will be here, I am the emperor', how is this..."

When Chief Envoy Song said this, Qin Ji's mind buzzed.

I am super!

I said why did you suddenly praise me, dare you wait here? !

Apparently, Xia Yuxiao also noticed that something was wrong in these words, and immediately stared at him.

"General Envoy Song, no way, Mr. An is such a loyal person, how could he say such rebellious words?"

Xia Yuxiao said with an expression of watching the show.

Qin Ji didn't quite understand.

Ah no, Chief Envoy Song, what you're doing is out of character.

So at this time, suddenly demolish my desk?

And what the former me said at that time, the former me is not the current me!

"Your Majesty, my subject..."

Qin Ji was calm on the surface, but in fact his mind had turned countless times.

Why did President Song suddenly put himself in a difficult situation at this moment?Let's not talk about whether we should say such a thing at this time. It will be bad for him to say it, but will it be good for Chief Envoy Song and His Majesty?

What he didn't know was that Xia Yuxiao's mind was running wildly at this moment——

Zhuo!What is this guy surnamed Song doing! ?

Is this crazy?Is now the time to tear your face apart? !What is she doing? !

Saying this is bad for Qin Ji, but is it good for her and herself? ?

In an instant, the atmosphere between the two people was tense.

Xia Yuxiao was ready to question the other party.

Suddenly, the words that my grandfather once said when playing with me flashed in my ears:

"Yu Xiao, you have to remember, if someone is doing something that is difficult to understand, don't get confused, you can think what others think, and think what others think."

Xia Yuxiao thought for a moment.

From the perspective of interests, Chief Envoy Song didn't need to compete with Qin Ji for interests. The scope of power of the two had nothing to do with each other. Moreover, Suilongwei was an independent imperial guard team, and there was no overlap of interests on weekdays.

From a standpoint, Suilongwei must be loyal to her Xia Yuxiao's team, and only loyal to the emperor is their standpoint, and Qin Ji... this person is actually very complicated.

and many more.

Qin Ji is very complicated, and his position is still not fully determined, and Sui Longwei is loyal to the emperor, and because of prejudice, there are rumors in the court that the chief envoy Song has a bad attitude towards Qin Ji...

Could it be that this guy didn't know how to face Qin Ji, so he just wanted to test her, the emperor's attitude towards Qin Ji, right?

If she, Xia Yuxiao, really hated Qin Ji to the core, she would definitely not miss this opportunity to attack Qin Ji, then Song Jingqing would concentrate on being on guard against Qin Ji.

If she, Xia Yuxiao, chooses to forgive him for this crime, then in the eyes of the chief envoy, this means that she intends to protect Qin Ji, and in the future, chief envoy Song will change his attitude...

Xia Yuxiao thought about it and made a decision.

Absolutely can not turn the face, turn the face, the court is not far from the turn.

Chapter 33 Emergency

"I think, Chief Envoy Song may have misunderstood Duke An's meaning, right?"

Xia Yuxiao chose to resolve this awkward atmosphere by herself.

Seeing that His Majesty actually spoke for Qin Ji at this time, Song Jingqing was taken aback for a moment, and then looked uncertain: "But, Your Majesty, what he really said is..."

"General Envoy Song, you seem to have misunderstood it," Qin Ji was reminded by Xia Yuxiao, and immediately came up with a reason, "At that time, those barbarians used the absence of Emperor Daxia as an excuse, claiming that His Majesty would come in person to truly obey. , I had no other choice, and at that time I was already under the command of His Majesty, so I said that sentence."

"That doesn't mean that I am the emperor, but that I am ordered by the emperor, and I represent the majesty of the emperor. There should be no excuses."

Qin Ji hurriedly thought of a way to get this back.

He also didn't want to make trouble for himself, of course, it depends on whether His Majesty wants to make trouble for himself.

If it is really hard to find, there is no way, he can only accompany him to the end.

"So that's true. Indeed, by doing this, Qing is indeed showing the majesty of my Great Xia at a critical moment. There is nothing wrong with this behavior. Chief Envoy Song, you are too suspicious."

Xia Yuxiao cast a reproachful glance at Chief Envoy Song.

Faced with such an expression, Chief Envoy Song finally understood, so she bowed and saluted: "I misunderstood Lord Taiwei, please forgive me."

"It's okay. As His Majesty's guard, Chief Envoy Song can always pay attention to the behavior of the surrounding courtiers for His Majesty. This is a good thing." Qin Ji couldn't argue with Chief Envoy Song either.

In fact, Chief Envoy Song is very clever, that is, she did not tell the matter publicly, but spoke out when the three of them were getting along in private.

After all, she was just probing, and she didn't really want to muddy the water. As long as she talked about this matter in private, it could be resolved no matter what. Some things can be explained in private.

Of course, when talking to Xia Yuxiao, you still have to be a little restrained, after all, you are a courtier.

In short, this time I understood the attitude of my Majesty. It is obvious that His Majesty has a "friendly" attitude towards Qin Ji, both in court and in private.

As long as this matter is not mentioned in public, everything is negotiable.

"Song Jingqing is just too sensitive, but I can understand it. After all, she is working as a security guard beside me. If she is not sensitive, then I will be in danger."

"Hahahaha, Your Majesty is right."

Qin Ji laughed, and took it as the past.

Laughing to death, he himself forgot whether he said that kind of thing or not, he just made up a random reason to prevaricate it, it seems that the other party obviously didn't intend to really punish him to death.

But next time, he would have to disgust the other party more or less.
