C8 Hundred Day Agreement

The snowflakes finally stopped at dusk.

Thick layers of snow were piled up on the eaves of the palace. The clear and thin glazed roof tiles seemed like they couldn't withstand the snow, occasionally letting out a slight crackling sound.

A row of tall windows in the main hall were made out of glazed glass, and inside the glazed glass were flying golden phoenixes. It was covered with a thin layer of mist.

A finger gently wiped the mist away, revealing a pair of long, thin eyes, a straight nose, a thin face, and a chin as sharp as a knife. This thoughtful face quietly gazed at the row of beasts crouching on the opposite roof ridge. After a while, the mist began to condense again, and the glass window began to silently take over again.

Feng Qingsheng returned to the hall, waved his sleeves and ordered in a low voice: "Light!"

The servants that had been quietly waiting around him silently withdrew like a tide, and in a moment, all that was left was the shadow of his personal bodyguard.

In a flash of lightning and lightning, the thick curtain covering the four corners of the hall was lifted. With a light mechanical sound, four giant lanterns were revealed. He indifferently swept a glance at the giant lamp, concealing the uncontrollable throbbing of his heart.

This was the first time that Heavy Shadow had been caught off guard and was frightened when he saw the lamp. He trembled and almost knocked the lamp over. If his master had not been quick and helped him, he might have committed a grave mistake.

His Master didn't blame him for being reckless, but the fact that he had four giant lanterns was truly shocking.

Kneeling on the ground, holding the head with both hands, a black candle was inserted into the hollow skull. The candle was ignited, and a strange fragrance quickly spread out, causing one to be intoxicated. Black smoke rose into the air and hovered in the air.

The Phoenix King muttered some words. Not long after, the smoke condensed into a human form as it lay prostrate on the ground.

The double was no longer strange.

This was one of the Phoenix King's spies, placed in the imperial court from the nobles to the merchants, even in the military camps of the north, south, east, west, and north. The spies of the Devil Clan were always concealed, always soundlessly, spying on all the secrets of the world. Everything was under the control of the Phoenix King.

"Emissary, you speak first."

"Reporting to Phoenix King, harem has not done anything abnormal. After General Rong returned to his residence, Rong Lingxiu led the guards to secretly search for the Queen's whereabouts. Rong Lingjun had already set out back to the Eastern Region, and the Rong Family was as normal as usual. "But …"

"But what?" Feng Qingsheng squinted his eyes.

"Rong Family's Third Young Miss seems to be rather close with the Chu Family, the two families have an alliance."

"Oh?" Feng Qingsheng's mouth revealed a smile, "Rong Family and Chu Family, male and female talent, this is indeed a match made in heaven." He carelessly stroked the jade ring on his hand. The jade ring was already very bright.

"Envoy of the West, tell me about it."

"Your Majesty, the Western Territory is safe. The son of the Chu Family and the old general are diligent in political affairs and are practising their new formation. They do not seem to know about the marriage. "

"So you're saying, this is Chu Duan's plan?" The Phoenix King's fingers stopped moving.

"This servant doesn't dare to speculate, I'll go and inquire more."

"Very good. Southern envoy? "

"Phoenix King, the Qi brothers guard the southern territory, opening a market at the border and getting along well with the people at the edge of the Southern Champion territory. The commander of the Southern Champion border city, Zhamu He, is also very cooperative with the Qi brothers. They often drink together and call each other brothers. "

"What a great 'brother' …" Heavy Shadow stole a glance over, only to see that the Phoenix King's eyes were deep like spring water. However, there was no sign of happiness or anger. He still could not figure out this Phoenix King.

"Northern envoy, could it be that you've brought good news as well?"

The Northern Ambassador hesitated for a moment. He seemed to be considering whether what he reported was good news.

"Phoenix King, this little one found a piece of news at the border. The new emperor is looking to the north and intends to marry the Grand Princess to Dongyi Kingdom."

"The Grand Princess?"

"Reporting to the Phoenix King, the New Emperor has three elder sisters. The one who was betrothed to him is his stepsister, Princess Dan. She is young and young, but her beauty and talent are of the highest order."

"Oh? Is there such a wonderful person? " Feng Qingsheng raised his teacup, blew at the mist that curled upwards, and said, "Isn't it a pity to marry the reckless man of the Eastern barbarians?"

His face became uncertain in the mist.

The Northern Ambassador lowered his eyes to look at him. He had to admit that even though he was over forty years old, the Phoenix King still maintained his extremely youthful appearance and tall stature, not inferior to any young man he had ever seen. Especially when those slender eyes looked at him, there was a strange magic within them that seemed to suck him into that deep whirlpool.

He could not help but raise his head, and suddenly realised that Feng Qingsheng was staring at him, and became nervous. After a moment, he realised that Feng Qingsheng was only lost in thought.

"Disperse!" The Phoenix King suddenly said.

The candles went out and the four of them immediately turned into a cloud of smoke, disappearing without a trace. Only a burst of a strange fragrance was left within the hall, and it became fainter and fainter. Not long after that, not even a trace of the remaining aura could be found …

Heavy Shadow observed the color in his eyes and said softly: "Phoenix King, Jiang mama has come to report, Rong Xiuluo requests an audience."

"Rong Xiuluo..." The Phoenix King recalled the figure that cried in the snow a few years ago and became somewhat interested. "How long have you been here?"

"Less than half a day."

"Yes."

The Asura who entered the Violet Myrtle Hall was somewhat surprised.

Three years had passed, and the Phoenix King still looked the same as when she first met him. She had originally thought that she would meet a pot-bellied middle-aged man, but unexpectedly, it seemed as if she had let go of the Phoenix King and didn't stop to carve on his body.

She bowed towards the most noble man in the Phoenix Empire: "This subject's daughter, Rong Xiuluo, greets the Phoenix King!"

The Phoenix King, dressed in casual clothes, slowly stood up from the side of the long line. He put down the imperial report and walked down the steps, looking haggard and haggard.

"Second sister, we are family, why be so polite?"

He was about to help the Shura up when the Shura quietly dodged him.

"Aral has grown up." Phoenix King carefully sized her up and softly sighed, "When your sister entered the palace, you were only thirteen or fourteen years old, right? "I still remember you crying while hugging your sister …"

The young girl lowered her eyebrows, her expression indifferent. "Asura's young age is still young and insensible. Your Majesty is embarrassed."

"You must be here for your sister's matter, right?" Feng Qingsheng's voice was filled with fatigue, "This is a very important matter, I have already sent people to investigate. The Shura An Xin is staying in the palace, waiting for news."

The Shura bit his lips and knelt down. "Your Majesty, the Shura has come with a request."

"Second sister, why do you need to salute like this?" Feng Qingsheng's eyes turned slightly, "If you have any requests, as long as this king is able to do it, I will naturally agree to it."

"Your Majesty, your majesty, the Shura asks that you, your majesty, use a limit of one hundred days to find Big Sister's whereabouts and search for the Crown of the Phoenix." Her voice was clear and clear, echoing in the hall.

There was a moment of silence.

Feng Qingsheng did not reply immediately. He gently stroked his ring as he examined Rong Xiuluo.

The snow-white light penetrated the window and enveloped the young girl's body, causing her to emit a gentle light. The young girl raised her head, her eyes were like a clear spring, clear as water, yet unfathomable.

This was no longer the little girl who was crying while pulling her big sister's dress.

She had become an adult who wanted to prove himself.

The world of adults should have their own rules.

Feng Qingsheng looked at her without saying a word, after a long while, he smiled and called out to her: "Rong Xiuluo."

"This subject's daughter is here."

"You and your sister aren't alike at all."

The Shura knelt down and waited for a long time. When she heard these words, she faintly smiled. With a glimmer in her eyes, she asked, "Then in the heart of His Majesty, what kind of person is Elder Sister?"

Rong Miaowei also had such a look in her eyes, which often made him think of a little deer in a mountain trap. Its pitch-black, moist eyes made it impossible to lift the blade and sword in its hand.

"Naturally, she's my beloved." "Yes," he answered softly.

The Shura was stunned. The meaning behind Feng Qingsheng's words were sincere, and she could discern that it was not fake.

"Is this the only request? I think you still have something to say. " Feng Qingsheng looked down from above and observed her reaction.

"The Shura asked His Majesty to release Little Qiao and Wen Yue …"

"The queen is missing. As the queen's personal maids, Xiaoqiao and Wen Yue have neglected their duties and have committed crimes unforgivable. They should be held accountable …"

"Your Majesty, since we have not found out the truth behind the Queen's disappearance, why not release Little Qiao and Wen Yue first, so that she can gain credit for her crimes and then wait for the truth to be revealed before punishing them for their crimes? If there is any mishap, the Shura is willing to shoulder it all. "

"Oh? You'll bear all of it? " The Phoenix King raised his eyebrows meaningfully but remained calm and collected. The Shura knew that this perverse monarch was measuring his worth.

"Tell me, how will you bear it?"

The Shura had already thought about it and replied in a deep voice, "If we can't find the Queen's location in a hundred days and if we find the Crown of the Phoenix, the Shura is willing to give us his life."

Feng Qingsheng gazed at Rong Xiuluo who was kneeling on the ground and started laughing loudly.

Does this little girl know what it means that Crown of the Phoenix can't be found back?

"What do I need second sister's life for?" "On the contrary, I want to give Second Sister something."
