If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 631 The Dragon and the Phoenix in the Afang Palace
Although Zhao Chenghuang was not in the Chenghuang Blessed Land, he was in Tianmen Town at this time.

Tianmen Town is his old nest.

But the person was in the old nest and even failed to escape.

Zhao Chenghuang immediately understood the seriousness of the matter: these two Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons were not ordinary ghost messengers from the underworld; they were targeting him.

"Why did you arrest me? I am the City God appointed by the Qin Dynasty. I have not done anything wrong."

The Horse-Faced Guard shouted, "You still dare to say that you have not made any mistakes? You colluded with the Black Dragon Demon King, causing tens of thousands of people in Western Shu to be tortured and devoured by the goblins.

The souls that were saved by Yu Fengxian are now filing a complaint in front of the King of Hell, and you are one of the 'criminals'. "

Zhao Chenghuang was still struggling, but at this time Niutou also threw out a chain and put it on him.

The more he struggled, the tighter the chains became.

"I didn't collude with the Black Dragon Demon King. I was forced into this situation. You are the ghost messengers of the underworld. Don't you know how powerful a mere City God is?
If I could stop the Black Dragon Demon King from harming people, how could I be caught by you two little devils now?" Zhao Chenghuang shouted in grief and anger.

The Horse-Faced Guard coldly tightened the chains and dragged him to his feet. "It's no use for you to cry out to us. Even Judge Zhang has been stripped of his priesthood and thrown into prison. If you want to cry out for justice, you can go to the King of Hell. We are only responsible for arresting you."

Niu Tou put shackles on him and said, "The King of Hell knows that you can't beat the Black Dragon Demon King, but you did collude with the evil spirits, helped him conceal his whereabouts, and even secretly prevented Yu Fengxian from finding him, right?"

Zhao Chenghuang shouted in panic, "Yu Fengxian asked me to make amends for my mistakes, and she promised to forgive me.

I helped her find the Cen family in Longtou Town, and I followed her to wipe out the monsters in Fenghou Bay. I have made great contributions!"

The Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demons, who had originally been quick in their movements and cold in their expressions, immediately looked at each other after hearing this, with doubts revealed on their faces, and their movements temporarily paused.

"Do you have the amnesty decree issued by Yu Fengxian when he was the prime minister of Western Shu?" Horse-Faced Guardian asked slowly.

The tone has changed!
Zhao Keduo was a smart person and immediately noticed their fear of Yu Fengxian.

It was not as he had guessed before, that he was afraid that Yu Fengxian would act arrogantly.

They were afraid of something he hadn't figured out yet.

"Yu Fengxian told me this herself, I didn't lie. You all saw me seeing her off just now, we were chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious." Zhao Ke said quickly.

The Horse-Faced Guard said in a deep voice: "I only want to ask one question, do you have the pardon signed by her personally?

If there is, take it out and we'll leave.

If not, I'm sorry, but we have to handle this matter impartially and take you back to report to the authorities."

Zhao Ke said in surprise: "My two elder brothers, even if you want me to die, please let me be a clear-headed ghost.

Why must Yu Fengxian's pardon be granted? Didn't she offend the underworld?"

Niu Tou said: "You are a nobleman in the upper state, but you are so inattentive.

Lao Niu, let me tell you the truth. In addition to arresting you and Longtou Town's landowner Sun Bin, another group of ghost messengers went to Luodu to invite Jiang Chenghuang and Li Wupan to register in the underworld."

Zhao Ke exclaimed, "The ghosts and gods canonized by Yu Fengxian are actually fully recognized by the underworld?"

Niu Tou sighed, "She is the prime minister, representing the will of the people of West Shu. She alone is the common people.

If she approves, then everyone approves. If everyone approves, then it is the will of heaven. Even the underworld cannot go against the will of heaven!"

Zhao Ke was stunned for a moment, then shouted even more excitedly, "Yu Zaiheng just left, let me go, I want to chase Zaiheng under the moon and let her come back to tell you in person."

"How dare you, a prisoner, use Yu Fengxian to scare us." Niu Tou shouted angrily.

"I'm not trying to scare you. I'm just asking Prime Minister Yu for an amnesty." Zhao Ke shouted.

"So, you really don't have the pardon?" The Horse-Faced Guard immediately put shackles on him. "Come with us, don't keep the King of Hell waiting for too long."

Zhao Ke was anxious and angry, "It's just a piece of paper. Yu Zaiheng told me personally, how could it be false?"

Niu Tou kicked him and said, "Idiot! You can become the City God just by writing your name on a piece of paper, right?
In today's Western Shu, the Great Qin's "Investiture of the Gods" is not as good as a piece of straw paper with the "Prime Minister's Seal" stamped on it! "

Zhao Ke is not really stupid, nor is he ignorant.

He just couldn't believe that the "power of prime minister" could be so real and so great.

"Could it be that Yu Fengxian's ability to command ghosts and gods is not due to the sharpness of the Qiao Shi sword, but the seal given to her by the King of Shu? The King of Shu himself doesn't have such great power!"

The Horse-Faced Guard sneered, "Don't you think about why the Qin Dynasty was in such a hurry to summon her to the court?

Even the Qingluan messenger was sent out.

Moreover, you may not know that the Qingluan messenger had already arrived in the Xisha region two days ago.

After learning that Yu Fengxian had resigned from office, He was able to relax and wait for another two days.

Zhao Ke said in bewilderment: "What happened to Yu Fengxian? I don't understand."

"You often see Yu Fengxian, but you haven't noticed anything unusual about the Prime Minister's seal?" Niu Tou asked in confusion, "Before she became the Prime Minister, the seal and the King of Shu were nothing.

Now the old King of Shu is still a nobody, but the seal is different now. It has become a "human treasure" and even contains great merits!"

"The seal is only different in the hands of Yu Fengxian," said the Horse-Faced Immortal.

Niu Tou said: "Now, no one else can lift the seal!

The King of Shu did find it had become a treasure, but he could not lift it, so he just studied it secretly.

Zhao Ke shouted, "After all, Yu Zaiheng himself is the most powerful.

No precious seal can compare to the golden words of Prime Minister Yu.

She promised me personally that I could make amends for my mistakes!"

Niu Tou said: "She passed away in the end, so it's useless to say anything.

The only thing that can be used now is the decree she left behind when she was the prime minister.

Just like Jiang Chenghuang and Li Wupan.

The document of reprimand sent to the underworld was written by her personally and stamped with the seal of the prime minister.

In addition to the punishment for Qin Guang, the document also included the imperial decree for Jiang Chenghuang and Li Wupan.

"But she said it herself. I just sent her away. You saw it with your own eyes." Zhao Ke was both annoyed and angry.

The Horse-Faced Guard said calmly, "Let me ask you, how would the Qin imperial court help a minister who is entangled in evil deeds to cleanse his sins?"

Zhao Ke murmured, "Open the altar to offer sacrifices to the heavens, inform the Emperor of Heaven and the gods, and use the destiny of the Qin Dynasty to bear the backlash of evil deeds."

At the beginning, Qingsong the Taoist boy hoped that Queen Dowager Zhao would offer sacrifices to heaven and earth to help him cleanse all his sins so that he could be reborn easily and cleanly.

Queen Mother Zhao refused to even meet Yumen Zhenren.

"Then why are you screaming? The principle is the same. Either she is still the prime minister and she will speak to the King of Hell in person, or she will write a pardon order from the prime minister. It was just a few words at the time. How do you know she wasn't just saying it casually to please you?" said the Horse-Faced Guard.

In fact, Xiaoyu was neither perfunctory to Zhao Ke nor would she really help him "clear" his bad karma.

When she said "make amends", she just meant to make sure she didn't kill him.

She doesn't care how the underworld deals with him.

Even if Xiaoyu didn't leave at this time, she would not plead for him, let alone write any amnesty. She had already resigned from her post. If she wanted to sign an amnesty, she would have to go back to Luodu and ask the King of Shu for the position of "Prime Minister" and the seal. It would be too much trouble.

Zhao Ke didn't know her true thoughts. After hearing what Ma Mian said, he could not help but roar in anger, "You have already arrived in Xishu and have been hiding in the sidelines, not daring to come out, right?

Are you afraid of Prime Minister Yu?

He deliberately waited for her to resign from office, or even leave Western Shu, before coming out.

Now you are saying, 'I want her to say it herself.' Damn you! How can you say it in person when the person is gone?"

He wishfully thought that if the Ox-Head and Horse-Face had come out earlier, Prime Minister Yu would definitely help him write a pardon decree.

"We are not afraid of her, we just don't want to provoke that stinky piece of shit." Bull Head shouted loudly.

"What do you want to say to this condemned prisoner?" The Horse-Faced Guard pulled the iron chain and floated into the darkness. "It will be difficult for him to be reborn as a human in his next life. He is just a beast, and he keeps on whining. Why bother paying attention to him?"

Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demon did intend to avoid Xiaoyu.

At this moment, Xiaoyu was sitting on Qingluan's back, feeling very proud and confident, and had no idea what was happening in Tianmen Town behind him.

Qingluan’s speed is indeed very fast.

In less than half an hour, they had traveled a thousand miles and directly crossed the Howling Wind Bay and the Flowing Sand River.

The moment he arrived above the country of Ba, Xiaoyu suddenly felt a chill in his body and a shadow shrouded his heart.

"Your Excellency, can we go faster?"

"Isn't this fast enough? You will even have the chance to attend the morning court the day after tomorrow." Qingluan shouted.

"My lord, you also know that we are being targeted by the demon god. Is it possible that your figure is too enchanting, like a shooting star in the night sky, and has been seen by them?" Xiao Yu said.

Qingluan said impatiently: "I have told you many times that I am the fastest in the world.

So what if I’m targeted by a goblin?

This is not the first or second time that I have served as an envoy of the imperial court. Every time, I have flown in the sky with open arms.

The Queen Mother sent us to pick you up, not only to bestow upon you the highest honor, but also because of your current situation.

With me here, no demon can chase you!"

Xiao Yu said, "Sir, don't blame me for being a nagging person. Your speed is indeed very fast now, but it is definitely not the fastest in the world. I can also fly that fast."

"Are you comparing your secret technique of escaping with our leisurely speed of traveling?" Qingluan's tone was full of disdain.

Xiao Yu asked curiously, "How fast can you run for your life?"

Qing Luan tilted her head and glanced at her from the corner of her eye. "Humph, you don't even want to pay for personnel expenses, and you still want to find out our secrets?"

Xiao Yu was somewhat speechless. "I heard that the Qin Dynasty is known for its strict laws. Won't you be punished if you ask the ministers for personnel directly?"

Qing Luan said unhappily: “The laws of the Qin Dynasty are strict, what does it have to do with personnel expenses?
When you arrive in Xianyang, I will show you Prime Minister Li’s mansion.

The prime minister's salary is limited, how can he afford to live in a house comparable to the imperial palace?

Don't mention that we carried you for tens of thousands of miles, it was tiring and hard, so it's only natural that we should ask for some personnel expenses.

We are just living in the Afang Palace, and we have to pay tribute to the Grand Master of the Imperial Household every year!"

Xiao Yu was shocked and asked, "They are so cruel that they even want to exploit a bird like you?"

"We are a divine beast, a real phoenix, not some bird." Qingluan shouted.

"You are a divine beast. The Qin court should cherish and love you even more." Xiao Yu said.

"Alas, on Cuiyun Mountain in the Afang Palace alone, there are two hundred divine birds, all of which are phoenixes.

The phoenix is ​​not the only mythical animal.

"Under the dragon cave west of the Qinling Mountains, the master's family has raised five hundred dragons for the emperor!" Qingluan sighed.

"Five hundred dragons?" Xiao Yu was shocked. "Are they all real dragons like the Black Flood Demon King?"

Qingluan hesitated and said, “There are many four-clawed true dragons, but none of them are as good as the Black Flood Demon King.

I heard that the Black Dragon Demon King is one of the Ten Evils in the West.

The true masters and true lords in the court are all afraid of your ferocity and praise you for your bravery.

The dragons raised in the dragon cave can only be placed in rivers and lakes to clean up the rivers for the emperor, but they cannot become demon kings. "

Just as Xiao Yu was about to ask again, Qing Luan suddenly shouted in annoyance, "You don't even want to pay for personnel expenses, why should I tell you so many secrets of the court? Forget it, I want to rest."

"Rest?" Xiao Yu said in shock, "As the saying goes, there are thousands of roads, but safety comes first; if you doze off during a flight, your loved ones will shed tears.

We are flying in the sky and may be being watched by goblins, so you must be alert!

Well, let's talk and cheer you up.

As for the personnel expenses, don't worry. Once I meet the Queen Mother and receive the reward, I will pay it in full.

If the Queen Mother does not give me a reward, I will give you a few bites of the dragon ball."

"What's the use of just taking two sips? You don't want to give us the dragon ball. At least you can give us one of the fairy's golden pills." Qingluan said.

Xiao Yu said earnestly: "You are a divine bird, you should eat magical herbs and drink the nectar from the green grass.

Swallowing the demon pill will only pollute your divine beast's spiritual energy. That's not good, very bad!"

"Instead of swallowing it ourselves, we can present the Demon Immortal Golden Pill to Lord Taifu and perhaps we can return to Fenglin Continent immediately." Qingluan murmured.

"What are you going back to Fenglinzhou for?" Xiaoyu asked.

“Fenglinzhou is my hometown. When I was captured by Daqin, I was just an egg.

We want to go home.

I don’t know if my parents are still alive or if they remember me.

Alas, I really want to feel the fresh breeze of Fenglinzhou~" The clear cry of Qingluan was full of melancholy and yearning.
