Chapter 082 Arrogance comes at a price
In the Lingxiao Palace, Zhang Tianshi lives on the right side of the dragon throne, and the four saints marshals occupied four directions. In the huge Lingxiao Palace, nearly a hundred immortal gods qualified to enter the court were gathered, and they stood on both sides of the hall.
Zhao Qingshan, wearing a dragon robe, sat firmly on the dragon throne. Baoxiang looked solemnly at the other god wearing a dragon robe below, and said in a majestic tone: "Ao Qin, you have been investigating the aquatic demons for more than two months. Have you ever found some useful clues?"
Ao Qin, who was kneeling on the red carpet below, held the milky white Chao Jian in both hands and said slowly: "Report to Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have submitted six investigation results in the past two months, but I don't know the useful clues that Your Majesty refers to are..."
"The clues about the abnormal movements and stillness of the Sihai Aquarium." Zhao Qingshan glanced at Ao Qin indifferently. How could he not feel the dissatisfaction in Ao Qin's heart? But in this situation, he could only ignore Ao Qin's reaction.
After hearing Zhao Qingshan's words, Ao Qin raised Chao Jian in his hand and said, "Report to His Majesty the Jade Emperor, the four seas aquatic races are roughly divided into seven forces, and the four demons, namely the East Sea Green-Backed Black Turtle, the South Sea Mixed Sand Golden Dragon, the West Sea Big Mother Koi, and the North Sea Troll Crab, are the most important. The aquatic races commanded are spread throughout the southeast, west, northwest, and the current actual overlords of the four seas, and their amazing Taoism."
"In addition to these four forces, there are three inequality small forces that are not influential and wandering among the four major forces, and they go with the flow in the world and have no great influence... If you talk about abnormal movements, in recent times, the leader of one of the three small forces has frequently walked with the Xihai Big Mother Koi."
"Oh?" Zhao Qingshan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Have you ever discovered that after the leader of this small force met with the big mother Koi in Xihai, he talked about something or mentioned something?"
"I don't know this." Ao Qin knelt on the red carpet and said slowly: "I am just wandering around the world alone, and it is already valuable to find something. The more specific situation is not possible, but I am unable to find out."
"So, you have found some unusual situations in the world... For example, there are traces of Western barbarians found in the world?" Zhao Qingshan suppressed the flames that popped up in his heart, trying to make his tone appear calmer, "Or are you suspected that it might be the figure of Western barbarians?"
"I have never discovered this." Ao Qin looked respectful, but his tone seemed very casual. He said, "Could it be that His Majesty the Jade Emperor suspected that the Four Seas Aquatic Clans were involved with the Western barbarians?"
"Ao Qin!" Zhao Qingshan's face darkened, and he directly slapped the armrest of the dragon chair beside him, and said in anger: "Now I'm asking you!!!"
"Oh... I know I'm wrong." Ao Qin said this, but there was no sign of knowing it's wrong on his face. Zhao Qingshan's anger seemed to be just a breeze to him, and there was no deterrent force at all. Because as long as he did not do something similar to rebellion, the Heavenly Court could not punish him at all!
In the past, because the troops from the Heavenly Court were often used to solve the difficult problems in the world, Ao Qin and other Dragon Kings of the Four Seas looked like grandson after they arrived at the Heavenly Court. They were very respectful.
But the current situation is that no matter whether he pretends to be a grandson or not, the Heavenly Court will inevitably send gods into the world to calm the chaos... In this case, Ao Qin naturally cannot have any more performances similar to his grandson.
However, his seemingly proper performance fell into Zhao Qingshan's eyes, but it was no less than his great contempt for the Heavenly Court and his great contempt for Tianwei!
As the lord of the heavenly court and the supreme existence of the Three Realms and Six Paths, how could Zhao Qingshan endure the provocation of a mere Dragon King of the South China Sea? His face gradually grew longer. Zhao Qingshan said in a hint of angrily: "I have been in the four seas for more than two months, but you have only collected some information that is not confidential at all... Bold Ao Qin, are you perfunctory? Are you provoking the majesty of the heavenly court?!!"
Zhao Qingshan was furious, and Qi Shua, the four saints marshal who were guarding the Lingxiao Palace, turned his eyes to Ao Qin, and a faint murderous aura suddenly enveloped Ao Qin.
However, Ao Qin did not take this murderous aura at all. He smiled calmly and said, "Reporting to His Majesty the Jade Emperor, I dare not provoke any majesty of the Heavenly Court. I am just talking about a fact that really exists. Could it be that Your Majesty has never heard the four words "Faith the Unfaithful Words"?"
A big hat was directly tied to Zhao Qingshan's head. Ao Qin looked at Zhao Qingshan calmly and continued: "I am just a small dragon king in the South China Sea. He discusses Taoism, magic power, magic power, and the heavenly court where elites gather. Any god can easily compare me. I ask Your Majesty, with his strength, how important clues should I collect to meet Your Majesty's requirements? I hope Your Majesty will make it clear!"
Zhao Qingshan, who was sitting on the dragon chaise, was so tight that he felt chest tightness by Ao Qin's words. He admitted that Ao Qin's words were indeed correct, but Ao Qin's tone was not the attitude a minister should have when facing the emperor!
However..., including Ao Qin, the Dragon King of the Four Seas was the Lord of the Four Seas chosen by the Heavenly Dao at that time. It was almost formed at the same time as the Heavenly Court appeared. The Heavenly Court's control over such immortals seemed much weaker.
As long as these gods did not do anything traitorous, the Heavenly Court could not send them to the immortal killing platform... This is also the biggest reliance of these gods, such as the Dragon King of the South China Sea in front of him, Ao Qin.
Taking a deep breath, balancing the rushing flames in his heart, Zhao Qingshan temporarily suppressed the urge to hit Ao Qin with a heavy 300-plate, and tried to calm his tone, "Oh? My dear means that I should set a clear goal for you, and then you will do your best, right?"
"Your Majesty is wise." Seeing that Zhao Qingshan's previous anger was obviously suppressed, Ao Qin raised his lips slightly, holding Chao Jian in his hand and said, "But there is a saying in front of me that I can only do my best, but there is no guarantee that I will succeed."
"Haha..." Zhao Qingshan suddenly smiled, and this was what he was waiting for!
Under Ao Qin's slightly confused look, Zhao Qingshan stood up directly from the dragon chaise and said, "I am worthy of being a pillar of my heavenly court. Of course, I know that a person's power is very limited. Even if I am unable to complete the task I have assigned you, I will not blame you..."
Waving his hand stopped Ao Qin's actions, who was about to speak and add annotations to him. A faint indifference flashed in Zhao Qingshan's eyes, "When the Heavenly Court was first built and the Dragon Palace was first formed, the Heavenly Dao once gave the Four-eyed Spring, which was also called the Four-Sea Spring, and was in the hands of the Four-Sea Dragon King."
Ao Qin was a little confused about why Zhao Qingshan mentioned this kind of old past, but Ao Qin felt a faint crisis and was approaching him quickly!
Before Ao Qin could speak, Zhao Qingshan continued on the stage: "Since that time, these four-eyed springs have become the basis for the survival of trillions of creatures in the four seas, and have also become the unique symbol of the Dragon King of the Four Seas... But I don't know, my dear will bring this spring with you?"
"I..." Ao Qin was stunned. The four-eyed spring was under the Four-eyed Spring, how could it be carried with him? Why was Zhao Qingshan asking this question for? Ao Qin couldn't help but feel cold in his heart and hurriedly said, "Report to His Majesty the Jade Emperor, this Four-eyed Spring..."
"It's not on my dear, right?" Zhao Qingshan smiled and nodded, "Although these four-eyed springs are blessings given by the way of heaven and are located at the bottom of the four seas, they are also part of my heavenly court. It is not as rumored by the outside world. Four-eyed springs are the unique treasure of the Dragon King of the Four Seas. Isn't you denying this?"
A simple sentence directly forced Ao Qin into a dilemma. Facing Zhao Qingshan's slightly sneered eyes, Ao Qin couldn't help but panic.
Zhao Qingshan used a lot of words to explain the importance of the Yangquan from beginning to end, but these are not the key points. The key point is that Zhao Qingshan used these words to emphasize the scope of the rule of the Heavenly Court!
Yes, although the Four-eyed Spring is a treasure given by the Heavenly Dao, it has always been managed by the Dragon King of Four Seas. Having formed a habit for thousands of years, it has not been formed. The Four-eyed Spring is not a unique thing of the Dragon King of Four Seas, because when the Heavenly Court was first built, the Four Seas were part of the Heavenly Court!
At first, Ao Qin couldn't react, but now, he vaguely understood Zhao Qingshan's little plan... This is to force him to the dead end!!
If he opposes Zhao Qingshan's views at this time, then it's very good. Sihai has been part of the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court since ancient times. Once Ao Qin opposes the Four-eyed Spring and belongs to the Heavenly Court, it means opposing Sihai is also part of the Heavenly Court... This is a serious crime of rebellion, which is really fatal!!
However, if you choose to agree... the Four-eyed Springs are all treasures of the Heavenly Court. The Four Seas Dragon King only manages the Four-eyed Springs on behalf of the Heavenly Court, and this tone will be immediately determined.
The key is that the Four Seas Dragon Palace has fallen into the hands of the demons. Once Zhao Qingshan makes some difficult requests, or tasks...
Ao Qin, who was originally still alive and seemed to not take Zhao Qingshan at all, suddenly had a cold sweat... He stood there blankly, and it was difficult for a while to come back to his senses!
But at this time, Zhao Qingshan still reminded me carefully, "I don't have much time to waste here. Yes or not. My dear, please give me a clear answer as soon as possible!"
