Everyone has their own inner self to resist the thing, perhaps one or many. Depends on the mental strength of the person, whether the person is pretentious or not.

A person like An Zheng, who had seen, experienced, and experienced before, far surpassed others. But he also had his own reasons for resisting ? It was riding. An Zheng never thought that riding a horse was a very comfortable thing to do, nor did he ever thought that riding a horse could be faster than running in cultivator.

But today, when An Zheng left the Heavenly Awakening Sect, he chose to ride a horse. There was only one reason. He had to ensure that when he rushed to Tianji Palace, he would have sufficient stamina and not expend too much energy.

Therefore, he would rather fear and choose to ride a horse.

Many people would resist things that they themselves did not want to do. They would tell themselves that they couldn't do it all the time. However, when things reached a certain point, these seemingly terrifying things could easily be passed.

Of course, the Fanggu City was not allowed to ride horses and run wildly, but no one bothered about them. Fortunately, the sky was already dark and there were not many people on the streets. The Inside the Heaven's Enlightenment Sect's food was all good, the ones used to eat, the ones used to wear clothes, and the ones used to play, were all first-rate. An Zheng had said before that he would bring a group of people to do good deeds with me. Of course he would give them the best living. Those who did bad things would enjoy themselves, but why shouldn't those who did good things enjoy themselves?

Therefore, this warhorse was also very outstanding. An Zheng didn't like to ride horses, but that didn't mean he didn't like horses. On the contrary, as the head of the Law Department of Great Xi back then, An Zheng was well-informed and somewhat knowledgeable on the art of horse riding. An Zheng's horses were all taken back when he was in Fringe City. They were abandoned on the battlefield due to injuries. However, after the people of Heavenly Awakening Sect took care of them, most of them recovered.

An Zheng had said before, how many people praised the Great Yan Cavalry soldiers' unparalleled strength, but they praised the soldiers and not the horses. The soldier's reward was awarded, but the warhorse could only eat a few mouthfuls of good grass at most.

This was a horse that had experienced a sea of blood before on the battlefield. It did not need An Zheng's effort to control it well. It only took An Zheng half an hour to get from Heavenly Awakening Sect to Tianji Palace. Of course, if she was running at full speed faster than An Zheng, she would still be a little slow.

This was the first time in many years that they had seen someone daring enough to ride a horse to directly rush out of the palace gates.

An Zheng told her name. Forbidden Army knew that An Zheng was participating in today's banquet, so he put her in without any trouble. Mainly because the news of An Zheng messing up You Nationality had already spread, the Expeditionary soldiers all started to feel proud. Every single one of the Yan People s didn't have any good impressions of him.

An Zheng quickly entered the Tianji Palace, then directly rushed to the Extreme Heaven Palace to see him. However, when he arrived, he was informed that Mu Changyan had gone to the Embroidery Palace, and prepared to attend the banquet with the empress dowager. When An Zheng wanted to go to the Embroidery Palace, he was stopped. Without the empress dowager's order, no one was allowed to enter. An Zheng sent someone to notify him, but the people guarding outside Embroidery Palace completely ignored him.

An Zheng also asked a lot of Forbidden Army and imperial guard about the reason why they wanted to find Chen Shaobai. There was no one who didn't know where he went. Chen Shaobai was a lead the imperial bodyguard, and was equivalent to the commander of the Embroidery Palace guards. But when An Zheng walked around, no one was willing to help him.

An Zheng looked at the Oil-paper Umbrella in his hand and really wanted to throw it away in anger.

If he couldn't find the King of Yan, or the empress dowager, then he couldn't find Chen Shaobai. After wandering in the Tianji Palace for another half an hour, he found out that An Chengli had gone to the royal kitchen to supervise.

An Zheng found a eunuch and gave him a hundred silver coins, asking him to help find An Chengli. The young eunuch recognized An Zheng and immediately went to look for him.

An Chengli anxiously rushed out of the imperial kitchen, and just as he finished explaining the situation to An Chengli, before he could go into detail, bell sounds came from the Extreme Heaven Palace.

"It's about to begin."

An Chengli said: "I am rushing to the Extreme Heaven Palace right now, I hope that I can ask the King to prepare some things. I hope your fears will not arise, or there will be a big mess tonight. "

After An Zheng and An Chengli separated, they also went to the Extreme Heaven Palace. At this time, the colorful lights were already hanging high up in the sky, and the inside of the Tianji Palace was lit up brightly. The fact that the You Nationality came to make peace was extremely satisfying to the Yanzhou. You Kingdom acknowledged that the two nations had battled for so many years, but it was the first time in history. Yan People and Quiet People had not won or lost in so many years on the battlefield, but today, they were finally able to win against Quiet People.

An Zheng walked to the plaza outside the Extreme Heaven Palace. There were already tables laid out, and the maids were shuttling back and forth inside the palace. Some of them were holding fine wine, while others were carrying fruits, bustling about.

The entire imperial court had already been gathered, including those with extraordinary statuses in the Fanggu City. An Zheng also saw Gao Yuanhu's figure from a distance. He was accompanying a old woman as he slowly walked through the crowd, and all the officials present stood up to pay their respects to him. No one came from Gao Family, but their influence in the imperial court was still so wide, which showed how powerful the Gao Family was.

When An Zheng found the people from the Ministry of War, he wanted to see Chen Zaiyan. However, Chen Zaiyan was currently accompanying the King Yan Mu Changyan.

An Zheng found Wang Kaitai and Fang Daozhi, and told them of their worries. Wang Kaitai and Fang Daozhi glanced at each other, and then left Fang Daozhi in the lead.

The dishes arrived half an hour later, and King Yan Mu Changyan and the Empress Dowager Su Qing Wen walked out of the Extreme Heaven Palace, surrounded by a group of important officials. All the officials of the Yan Kingdom stood up and saluted, including the diplomatic mission of the You Kingdom.

The King of Yan, the empress dowager and the Duke Tan Song sat at the same table on the stage. There were also Prime Minister of the Left Su Mao, General Su Zong, Minister of Rites, Minister of War and a few other members of the Royal Family.

On the opposite side of their long table, there was a makeshift high platform with dancers dancing on it. At the side of the stage was the big box You Nationality had brought.

Fang Daozhi indicated that An Zheng should not be rash. He pressed his hands down and said to An Zheng in a low voice: "Since you have already told An Chengli, An Chengli will definitely tell the King. The experts in the palace are enough to handle any unexpected situations, and General Wang has already rushed back to the army camp to gather his cavalry. As long as they are on guard, You Nationality will not be able to do anything. "

An Zheng pointed to Tan Song who was standing beside King of Yan: "I'm worried about that person, I think there's a problem with him."

Fang Daozhi said: "You Kingdom is currently suffering from internal and external troubles, our Yan Kingdom's three hundred thousand strong army is just at the eastern border, while Bohai's army of one hundred and sixty thousand has already slaughtered their way into the You Kingdom's territory, that's why You Nationality came to ask for peace. Unless You Nationality has the confidence to defeat both us, how could they dare to come here and cause trouble at this time? If they want to assassinate the King, the best choice would be to ambush them secretly. There is no need to use a duke as a bargaining chip. "

"Once this duke makes a move, there will be no longer any room for escape between the You Kingdom and himself. As long as You Nationality is not stupid, he would not do something so brazen. "

An Zheng replied: "What I'm afraid of is that the You Kingdom will go all out."

Fang Daozhi shook her head: "If anything happens to the King, Yan Kingdom will definitely take revenge, and at that time, You Kingdom will not be able to block Yan Kingdom's all-out attack."

An Zheng could also understand this way of thinking, but he had a feeling that this matter was not that simple.

Right at this moment, An Chengli made a statement on behalf of the King of Yan, and then, announced the start of the banquet. The court musicians played beautiful music, and the dancers displayed their figure and the beauty of their dancing styles to their limits.

King Yan Mu Changyan raised his wine cup and indicated towards Tan Song: "Duke Yi, what do you think about my Yan People's Dance?"

Tan Song said expressionlessly: "Yan People is bold and unrestrained, even this woman's dance exudes the aura of an iron horse, and does not lose its grace and beauty, worthy of these four words, 'peerless' in the world."

Mu Changyan laughed loudly, "Duke Yi really knows how to speak, but my Great Yan resides in the north, and even women have a heroic air about him. It is said that the women of the Great Xi River South are as graceful and graceful as water. I am afraid even the Lone King feels that they are not as flirtatious as the women of my Great Yan. "

Tan Song said, "Your Majesty is right."

As for red-robed clergyman, he was sitting at a table not too far away from them. He would look over there from time to time. He seemed to be absent-minded, the Yan People officials beside him had raised their goblets several times, but he was still perfunctory about the matter.

An hour later, everything was quiet and nothing had happened.

Wang Kaitai hurried back with beads of sweat on his forehead, and sat beside An Zheng: "I have already gathered all of Ministry of War's cavalry outside the capital. The cultivator s had also gathered, they were spread out around, and if there was anything else, they would immediately react. Just a moment ago, An Chengli and I met. An Chengli said that the imperial guard had already sealed the surroundings, and the experts who are guarding the Tianji Palace are also secretly on guard. "

An Zheng nodded his head: "I hope it's just a false alarm."

Just then, the red-robed clergyman walked up the stage. "Everyone!"

He called out, and the scene fell silent.

red-robed clergyman first cupped his fists towards the surroundings, then said loudly: "Perhaps none of you have thought that Yan People and Quiet People would one day sit together and drink and chat merrily. To tell the truth, I hadn't expected this day to come so soon. Perhaps this was the will of heaven. I know that you all have a conflict with the Quiet People because there are indeed some contradictions between our two countries. But today is a new beginning. "

"I believe that from today onwards, You Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom will completely put aside their past grudges and become real brothers. I represent the King of Nether that cannot come personally, and I take the liberty to represent all of you here, to toast to the empress dowager and King of Yan, to celebrate her longevity! for the longevity of the King of Yan! "

All the officials stood up and toasted, "To Her Majesty's birthday! for the longevity of the King of Yan! "

red-robed clergyman drained the cup in one gulp, then laughed and said: "Back then in Jushang Yard, Yan People taught us quite a lesson, letting us know that there is someone beyond the heavens. To that, our Quiet People was willing to admit defeat, and admired the talent of the Great Yan from the bottom of our hearts. Although we have paid a great price for this, this lesson is very valuable to us. "

"However!"

His tone changed abruptly, "Although we lost in Jushang Yard, we did not completely lose. There is one thing that has saved us Quiet People the last bit of face, and that is the true national treasure of our great netherworld. "

He pointed to the side, "These stones were left behind in the Jushang Yard not long ago. Because they were not chosen due to the passage of time, they were fortunate enough to arrive at the Tianji Palace to participate in this meeting. Even if it is an appetizer for all of you, when we cut a rock on the spot, no matter what we cut, it will be our gift to the Empress Dowager and King of Yan. Of course this is only the beginning. The real treasures that I want to offer to the empress dowager and King of Yan are here. "

He pointed to the large box at his side: "Inside this box are the three precious treasures of the You Kingdom. If I had mentioned the name, everyone here would have probably heard of it. These three things represent the sincerity of our You Kingdom. "

"The first one, is Flowing Maple Knife."

The crowd burst into an uproar.

"Flowing Maple Knife, legend has it that it's a divine instrument from the purple rank. Back then, King of Nether's Saber had once killed a demon. "

"I never thought that You Kingdom would be so sincere this time, and actually brought a national treasure."

"Flowing Maple Knife is not just a national treasure, it is a symbol of the You Kingdom Royal Family. The You Kingdom offering out the Flowing Maple Knife was a symbol of submission! The heavens have blessed our Great Yan, it has finally come to this day. "

The crowd discussed animatedly, each and every one of them excited to the utmost limit.

Even the Empress Dowager Su Qing Wen's expression had changed. There was no Flowing Maple Knife written on the gift slip from before, so she couldn't help but look at Mu Changyan. The latter had a face full of shock and excitement as well.

"The second one ?"

red-robed clergyman laughed and said: "I will keep you in suspense. Right now, I would like to ask King of Yan to send someone to cut the rock. We will announce it when we cut the rock open."

"Cutting a rock?"

Mu Changyan laughed: "It's too boring to cut the stone straight away, is An Zheng here? Let him come to the Lone King's side! "
