Ge Nie's voice sank when he saw Zhou Yi remain silent for a long time.
"Empress, what do you think?”
Li Bai grabbed at the air with one hand, and for some reason, he took out a green calabash. Ignoring everyone else in the court, he began to gulp down the wine.
Zhou Yi remained silent.
All the officials in the court were secretly anxious. Some clenched their fists and some sighed.
What a great opportunity!
That mysterious Sword Dao Sacred Sovereign had clearly helped the empress yesterday. Clearly, he knew the empress.
As long as the empress agreed, they would not have to worry about the Tang Empire invading them for a period of time.
The Great Zhou Empire would have sufficient time to prepare.
So, what was the empress worried about?
The Prime Minister and the Grand Commandant looked at each other and made up their minds.
It was time for him to pledge loyalty to the country and risk his life to remonstrate!
"This old minister pleads Your Majesty, for the sake of the people of our Great Zhou, please invite a senior expert to step forward!”
"I beg Your Majesty to agree. My tens of thousands of brothers are willing to shed their blood for Your Majesty!”
Seeing this, all the ministers knelt down and kowtowed.
"I beg Your Majesty to invite a senior expert to come forward!”
"I beg Your Majesty to invite a senior expert to come forward!”
Hearing the pleas of the court officials, Zhou Yili's beautiful face revealed an anxious and helpless expression.
Shangguan Wan 'er stood at the side, her clear eyes filled with heartache and anger.
These ignorant ministers! If His Majesty knew that senior expert, he would have agreed long ago.
Most importantly, His Majesty didn't know him either!
After Li Bai finished drinking, he saw that all the ministers had knelt down and begged him, but Zhou Yi still refused to agree to Ge Nia's request. A strange light flashed in his eyes.
Ge Nia's expression was as cold as ever, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Suddenly, the two of them looked at each other and saw disappointment in each other's eyes.
They were obsessed with the Dao of the Sword and had practically dedicated their entire lives to it.
It was not easy for him to see a more advanced and sharper sword path. He thought that he could receive guidance, but in the end, he was not fated to see it.
"There will be a time when the wind blows and the waves break. Ge Nia, let's have a good fight the next time we meet!”
Li Bai threw his head back and laughed loudly, then left the room.
Before he came, Li Shimin had told him that there were suspected to be two Ninth Heaven Sacred Sovereigns in the Great Zhou.
Li Bai was even shocked at that time. He only knew that there was a Sword Dao Sacred Sovereign, but he did not expect there to be another.
If the Great Zhou really had two high-level Sacred Sovereigns, their strength could even contend with the six empires!
But now, it seemed that The Lord might not necessarily stand behind the empress.
Ge Nia's sharp gaze shot toward the curtain like two bolts of lightning.
He wanted to see clearly what the Great Zhou Empress's attitude was behind the curtain.
However, this curtain was quite mystical. Even when he used the Sword Spirit Eye divine power, he actually couldn't see through it.
"Humph! It seems like the Great Empress doesn't want to form an alliance with Great Qin?”
Ge Nia coldly harrumphed and left.
Zhou Yi was anxious. He stood up and wanted to rush out, but after thinking about it, he sat down again.
Then, he sighed softly.
What a good opportunity! It was right in front of him, but he still couldn't grab it.
The tens of thousands of people of the Great Zhou might have to suffer because of this.
Ge Nie held his sword and stepped forward. His figure flashed to the door and he walked in front of Li Bai.
Seeing this, Li Bai's eyes were filled with battle intent, and he was even faster than Ge Nia.
The two of them were about to leave.
At this moment…
Yin-
A clear, pleasant, and sharp voice rang out.
Ge Nie and Li Bai's expressions changed drastically!
Ge Nia was already holding his sword upside down, and he swung it upwards, sending out an icy-blue sword rainbow the size of a door!
Li Bai held his sword and lowered his body.
"The water of the Yellow River rises from the heavens!"
Hualala!
A waterfall formed by sword Qi suddenly appeared above his head and flowed down.
In the next moment, a sword light as clear as water flew over from the northern side of the Imperial Palace, in the direction of the imperial kitchen.
Ge Nia's icy-blue sword rainbow collided with the clear sword light and instantly dissipated!
A huge hole was created in Li Bai's sword energy waterfall by the sword light!
"Not good!"
A sense of extreme danger rose in their hearts at the same time. The hair on their bodies stood on end, and they hurriedly raised their swords to block in front of them.
Clang! Clang!
Two crisp sounds rang out.
Li Bai and Ge Nia's swords were shattered into pieces by the sword light.
Seeing the sword light approaching and unable to dodge, the two of them revealed expressions of fear and no regrets in their eyes.
It was worth it to die under such a fierce and unstoppable sword light!
Their eyes were shockingly bright as they stared at the sword light that was flying towards them, as if they wanted to pry into the endless mysteries of the Great Dao of Sword.
Immediately after, the sword light arrived in front of the two of them.
Buzz!
The void trembled.
The sword light stopped.
Ge Nia and Li Bai heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that they hadn't been killed.
In the next moment, their eyes widened, and their hearts felt as if they had been hammered by a huge hammer.
"This is…"
"Oh my god…"
All of the officials had also arrived at the entrance of the throne room.
Then, they all gasped.
A line of words filled with sword intent was left in the void.
"Get Qin Shihuang to see me!"
Excited, Li Bai reached out his trembling hand, wanting to touch the line of words, but he didn't dare.
"Using sword marks to engrave words in the void. What a superb Sword Dao! What a perfect sword intent!"
Ge Nia's face, which was as cold as a ten-thousand-year-old iceberg, was now filled with fanaticism.
"Amazing! I am ashamed of my inferiority!"
Suddenly, the two of them seemed to have thought of something.
Li Bai took out his wine gourd and aimed it at the bluestone floor. He sucked in a deep breath.
Ge Nia waved his sleeve, and a suction force appeared.
On the ground, the fragments of the two swords that had been shattered by the clear sword light flew toward the gourd and sleeve respectively.
Li Bai's green-skinned gourd was a spiritual treasure after all. It had absorbed seventy percent of the sword fragments.
The coldness in Ge Nia's eyes almost froze Li Bai.
"Bastard! Give me back my sword!"
Li Bai laughed heartily.”
"Don't think that I don't know that you want to take it back to study the sword intent on the fragment," Ge Nia said coldly.”
"Hahaha, aren't you the same?" Li Bai laughed.”
The two of them did not leave. Instead, they sat down cross-legged and began to comprehend the small line of sword marks in the void.
Ge Nia's voice rang out. Although it was not loud, everyone in the throne room heard it clearly.
"Since Senior has agreed to meet, I will represent the Great Qin Empire and form an alliance with the Great Zhou Dynasty!”
All the civil and military officials cheered in unison.
Behind the curtain, Zhou Yi and Shangguan Wan 'er heaved a sigh of relief at the same time. They were secretly grateful to the mysterious Supreme Swordsman.
……
In the imperial kitchen.
Ji Xiao put away his Profound Heaven Spirit-slayer Sword with a smile on his face.
Today, he had heard that the Great Tang and Great Qin had sent envoys, so he had concealed himself and flown into the air to take a look.
He just happened to see Ge Nia forming an alliance with the empress and asking Ji Xiao to step forward.
Unfortunately, the empress was hiding behind the curtain, so Ji Xiao was unable to see her face.
Of course, Ji Xiao didn't want to show his face, afraid of trouble.
The Green Phoenix Grand Sage and the Sword Saint were both him. Once he was exposed, Li Bai and Ge Nia alone would be enough to annoy him to death, let alone the others.
Sending out a sword light like this and perfectly dealing with this matter was the best way.
In this way, the Great Zhou Dynasty temporarily did not have to worry about war.
He could continue to live his days leisurely and contentedly.
As for Qin Shihuang?
If he came, he would just find an excuse to send him away.
Just as he was thinking about this, a series of brisk footsteps came from the kitchen door.
Dong dong dong!
"Is Brother Ji here? I'm Old Li. I bought a jar of good wine today. Let's get drunk!”
