C27 You Seem to be Sitting in the Wrong Place!

"Those who hang themselves are bold, while those who starve to death are timid. Could it be that the Ancient Kingdom Lord wants to be the person who starves to death? " The mocking expression on Jiang Yanchen's face was not concealed at all.

"This …" Gu Qi hesitated for a moment. He also knew that what Jiang Yanchen said was not without reason, but Ye Xuan was, after all, Saint Son Of The Blue Lotus.

Seeing Gu Qi's hesitation, Jiang Yanchen let out a faint sigh, and said: "When Saint Son Of The Blue Lotus arrived at the feudal fiefdom, he respected all the people at the Guyue Country like a god, and was extremely obedient to him. Unfortunately, the Holy Son stubbornly refused to listen to his advice, and insisted on punishing the sea bandits of Huan Island, who would have thought …"

"Who would have thought that the heavens would be jealous of such a talent? Who would have thought that the previous Holy Son would fall just like that? Truly a pity!" Gu Qi continued. Before he finished his sentence, Gu Qi had a smile on his face and his eyes were shining brightly.

"The Ancient Kingdom Lord is wise!" Jiang Yanchen smiled and brushed his hair with his slender fingers.

Hearing the schemes of Gu Qi and Jiang Yanchen, the crowd of court officials all broke out in a cold sweat and looked at each other in shock. A few aged and weak people with low cultivation, Old Official, even knelt on the ground while shivering.

They could not help but be afraid. Since Gu Qi and Jiang Yanchen had unrestrainedly said all of this, how could they let them off so easily? Whether it was by silencing them or by tying them up for this plan, it was undoubtedly something they could not afford.

Gu Qi and Jiang Yanchen did not even look at these officials. It was as if they were too lazy to even look at them.

"The sea bandits …" Gu Qi hesitated for a moment and looked at Jiang Yanchen.

Jiang Yanchen smiled lightly: "Of course it's me."

"Alright!" Gu Qi stood up suddenly, and stared at Jiang Yanchen with his bright eyes: "The Ninth Prince is meticulous and plans out Zhou Xiang, and this duke is not a timid person. For the future of Guyue Country, this prince will cooperate with your Great Jiang Dynasty today."

"Very good, but since we have already agreed on this, if the Ancient Kingdom's ruler is at both ends of the table, then it won't be as simple as enduring the anger of my Great Jiang Dynasty." Jiang Yanchen also slowly stood up. With a glance at Gu Qi, he disappeared from the hall the next moment.

After he had disappeared, Jiang Yanchen's voice continued to drift over, "The Ancient Kingdom's Lord has always been wise and adept. I believe that no information will leak out."

"Humph!" Although he had chosen to cooperate with Jiang Yanchen, it did not mean that he would simply shake hands with Great Jiang Dynasty.

However, Jiang Yanchen's figure had already disappeared. Although Gu Qi was angry in his heart, there was nothing he could do.

Lowering his head to look down at the officials before him, Gu Qi slowly spoke. His tone became eerie, "What do you think about Saint Son Of The Blue Lotus's death by the hands of the sea bandits of the Ringisland?"

"The king is wise!" At this moment, none of the officials dared to retort.

"Very good!" Gu Qi nodded his head slightly, and continued: "The various officials have worked hard day and night for my Guyue Country, obtaining great merits. This king is not unlucky, so today, I shall give the Profound Crystal mine in the west city to all of you."

When the officials heard this, they were overjoyed. They had been coveting this mystical crystal mine for a long time. However, the Gu family, as a royal family, had been holding onto it for a long time.

"This King won't say more about the remaining words." Gu Qi's voice sounded again, "However, if anyone dares to leak the news, don't blame This King for being impolite. If there's anyone that doesn't let This King off, This King will take his dog life first! "

Gu Qi stepped forward, closing in on the officials. At the end, his expression was already stern.

"This official dares not!" All the officials shook their heads, admitting that they did not dare.

None of these ministers were idiots. Although if they sold the information to Saint Son Of The Blue Lotus, they might soar into the sky from then on. However, Gu Qi, Jiang Yanchen and the rest were not weak people, so who would dare to take the risk?

Gu Qi nodded in satisfaction and sat back down on the dragon throne.

However, just as he sat down, the sound of a guard suddenly came from outside the hall.

"A thief dares to barge into the palace?"

The guard was answered with a "clang" as the Longsword was taken out of its scabbard.

After the sound of metal clashing, Ye Danfeng appeared in the main hall.

Ye Danfeng, who was brimming with killing intent, glanced at Gu Qi, who was sitting on the dragon throne, and coldly said, "Follow me to welcome the Holy Son!"

After saying that, Ye Danfeng turned around and left without looking back.

A flash of anger appeared in Gu Qi's eyes and he felt extremely humiliated.

He was the distinguished King Gu Yue, and was also at the middle stage of the Origin Core Stage. This little disciple of the Sacred Ground in front of him, who was only at the late stage of the True Spirit Realm, actually dared to ignore him.

It was a pity that this disciple of the Sacred Grounds was representing Saint Son Of The Blue Lotus. Although Gu Qi was not satisfied, what could he do to him?

"Follow This King to welcome Saint Son Of The Blue Lotus!" Gu Qi took a deep breath, suppressed the rage in his heart, and spoke to the other officials.

"..."

By the time Gu Qi and a group of civil and military officials arrived outside of the city, Ye Xuan's Holy Carriage had yet to appear.

After waiting for a while, the huge Holy Carriage finally appeared in front of everyone's eyes. It approached rapidly.

"Kneel and welcome!" Ye Danfeng glanced at Gu Qi and the officials coldly.

The strong feeling of humiliation suddenly rose, and the aura of the Origin Core Stage on Gu Qi's body exploded.

All the ministers looked on in amazement, unable to understand why their country's emperor would suddenly be angered.

"Hmm?" The murderous intent from Ye Danfeng also surged out crazily as he stared at Gu Qi with a pair of ice-cold eyes.

Seeing Ye Danfeng's gaze, Gu Qi was frightened. Then, he quickly withdrew his momentum and knelt down on both knees.

Seeing that Gu Qi had already knelt down, all the officials kneeled down and kowtowed to him.

"Hiss!" The eight beasts emitted a clear cry as the sacred carriage slowly came to a halt.

"Guyue Country Gu Qi and all your subjects welcome Saint Son Of The Blue Lotus respectfully!" Upon seeing Ye Xuan's figure, Gu Qi shouted loudly. The officials behind him also gave their greetings to Saint Son Of The Blue Lotus.

Ye Xuan walked up to Gu Qi and looked at him condescendingly. After glancing at him for a while, he waved his hand. "Stand up!"

"Thank you, Saint Son Of The Blue Lotus!" When Gu Qi and the other officials heard Ye Xuan's words, they all stood up.

"The journey is tiring. Please allow the Holy Son to enter the Little King's Palace to rest for a while." Gu Qi landed behind Ye Xuan and said while bowing.

"But!" Ye Xuan said lightly.

Gu Qi and his subjects welcomed Ye Xuan all the way to the Guyue Country Palace, passing through the front hall and finally arriving at the throne room.

After receiving the news in advance, the palace attendants had already arranged seats in the hall. Not only Ye Xuan, but even the three great ice men Ye Danfeng, Ximen Chuixue, Ye Gucheng, and Fei Wu all had seats.

"Please sit, Son!" As soon as he entered the hall, Gu Qi bowed to Wu Tie and said respectfully.

Turning around, Gu Qi said to Ye Danfeng and the rest, "Everyone, please take a seat."

After saying that, Gu Qi habitually ascended the steps and sat down on the Dragon Throne.

Just as Gu Qi sat down, Ye Xuan's indifferent voice suddenly sounded.

"You, seem to have sat in the wrong seat!"
