"This commoner thanks the emperor for his kindness!"
Zhangsun Wuji's expression was gloomy as he stood up shakily. This time, he came to Jiang Du with the title of the young master of the Profound Secrets Pavilion. However, he did not expect that not only did he not display his might and play with everyone in the palm of his hand, but he also relied on Yuwen Huaji and the others to plead for mercy to save his life. How could he accept this? How could he appear in front of Yuwen Huaji, Xiao Cong, and the others with a high and mighty attitude?
"Sigh, Master, it's all your fault!”
Zhangsun Wuji remembered that Yan Qingxuan had personally approved the letter. He was speechless and couldn't help but blame Yan Qingxuan, who was like a god.
Everyone took their seats. Zhangsun Wuji was a commoner, so he was naturally placed at the back. Initially, he was still a little depressed, but when he saw the person sitting beside him, his worries immediately turned into joy.
Originally, Li Shimin had not received the official approval from the Ministry of Revenue, so he was also a white official. It just so happened that Zhangsun Wuji was together.
"The heavens are helping me!"
In an instant, Zhangsun Wuji threw all his depression to the back of his mind. When he entered Jiang Du, he had been worried about how to contact Li Shiming without the Yuwen clan's eyes and ears. He didn't expect it to be so easy.
Yang Guang sat on the dragon throne and laughed secretly."Hurry up and contact them. Without you, Zhangsun Wuji, as a double agent, Li Shiming is not a match for the Yuwen and Xiao families.”
However, Zhangsun Wuji was helpless because Li Shiming completely ignored him. He was not as polite as the rumors said.
Soon, Zhangsun Wuji understood the reason. He knew that Li Shi Min must have misunderstood that he was a member of the Yuwen clan. After all, he was invited by Yuwen Cheng, and Yuwen Huaji came forward to protect him. It was reasonable to have this suspicion.
"It's a little troublesome…"
Zhangsun Wuji frowned. Just as he was thinking of a way to break it, there was a sudden movement outside the hall.
"The Eastern Turkic envoy has arrived!"
Following the announcement of the eunuch, a group of people dressed in strange clothes quickly walked in. Their actions were filled with a valiant aura. The most eye-catching person was the person walking on the far left. She was graceful and wore a golden battle robe, revealing a small part of her snow-white waist. Her jade-like face was as sharp as a knife, and her beautiful eyes were flowing with a deep divine light, filled with sharpness and majesty.
War God Hall's tenth War Reverent, War Goddess Nalan!
Yang Guang's eyes revealed a look of admiration. His gaze followed Nalan's jade-like neck and slid down. He saw that the golden armor could not hide her shocking figure. Her front was full, her waist was soft like a willow, and her legs were straight. Her entire person was like a sharp sword.
"Eastern Turkic envoy Nalan greets the Emperor of Great Sui. This is a small tribute.”
Nalan's tone was sonorous and forceful. Although he was from the outer realm, his Chinese characters were very precise.
Soon after, Nalan Su beckoned with her hand. A person behind her took two steps forward and opened the brocade box in her hand. In an instant, the hall was filled with brilliant light. When the light faded slightly, everyone could clearly see that there was actually a three-foot-long sword in the brocade box. It was engraved with dragon patterns and shone brightly. It was as if it was a heavenly work.
"This sword is called Dragon Spring!"
As Nalan's words fell, exclamations of surprise instantly sounded in the hall.
The Dragon Spring Sword was an ancient divine weapon. At that time, the Nine Provinces were as one, and wild beasts could be seen everywhere. There was no lack of peerless demons such as true dragons and qilins. The Dragon Spring Sword was forged by the ancient divine craftsman in the Heavenly Dragon Abyss with the power of the Big Dipper and the blood of a true dragon. After that, he sealed the dragon soul into it.
Therefore, the Dragon Spring Sword was also known as the Seven-star Dragon Abyss Sword. Even in ancient times, it was a divine sword that shook the Nine Provinces.
Later, the Nine Provinces split up, and the Dragon Spring Sword became the National Guardian Divine Sword of the small extraterritorial country, the Dragon Spring Country. It was ranked third on the Xuanji Divine Weapon Rankings, and its ranking was even higher than Yang Ziyu's Heaven-Defying Sword.
Three years ago, the Dragon Spring Kingdom had been annexed by the Eastern Turks, and the Dragon Spring Sword had become part of the collection of the Eastern Turkic court. No one had thought that the Eastern Turks would be so bold as to be willing to offer such a divine weapon as a tribute to the Great Sui.
"Damn it!"
Yuwen Huaji and Xiao Cong's faces darkened. They were skilled schemers and immediately understood the Eastern Turks 'scheme. With such a divine weapon as a tribute, if the imperial court disqualified Tuli for no reason, wouldn't it show that the tolerance of the Celestial Dynasty was inferior to that of a small country?
Nalan's lips curled up slightly. After the imperial court guard took the Dragon Spring Sword, she spoke again,"I have a presumptuous request that I hope Your Majesty will grant.”
Yang Guang took the Dragon Spring Sword from the guard. While admiring it, he casually said,"Miss Nalan, please tell me what you want.”
Miss Nalan?
A cold light flashed through Nalan's eyes. Even the Great Khan and the War God Hall's First Battle Saint didn't dare to address her so casually.
"Humph! He had long heard that the Great Sui was filled with talents and countless heroes. This time, the Jidu Princess's martial arts competition for a spouse was even more of a gathering of wind and clouds. I propose to use this Dragon Spring Sword as the prize for the first place in the Joust For A Spouse to encourage the heroes to fight bravely. What do you think, Your Majesty?”
"Oh? Miss Nalan's suggestion was quite interesting. Since this Dragon Spring Sword was given by Miss, then we'll do as Miss said. Cao Zhengying, pass on my decree to add another rule to the Joust For A Spouse. The champion of the martial arts competition will receive another Dragon Spring Sword.”
Yuwen Huaji and Xiao Cong's brows furrowed even deeper. They had never thought that the Eastern Turks would be so sinister. Who didn't know that the hottest topic of the Joust For A Spouse was Tuli? If the Dragon Spring Sword ended up in the hands of the Eastern Turks, then the dignity of the Celestial Empire would truly be gone.
Lady, lady, lady…
Nalan's heart was already filled with rage, but for the sake of the War God Hall's grand plan, he had no choice but to suppress it. He could only glare at Yang Guang fiercely before sitting down on his seat with a stomach full of anger.
Zhangsun Wuji's eyes lit up as he watched the Eastern Turks take their seats. He once again shamelessly moved to Li Shiming's side and said,"Right now, everyone's attention is focused on the War God Hall's tenth War Reverent. They don't know that Prince Tuli is the core of this diplomatic mission. His status was a hundred times more honorable than Nalan!”
Li was stationed in Taiyuan and had many contacts with the Eastern Turks. Li Shiming had been paying special attention to this diplomatic mission. Hearing Zhangsun Wuji's analysis, he couldn't help but ask,"What do you mean, sir?" Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:011720192:32PM
