Intuition told Gu Xu that these light spots represented the connection between the God of Fire and his believers.
Through these connections, the Vulcan can give his power to his believers, and he can also take back his power.
"If I guess correctly, the throne of the God of Fire has been vacant in the past few years," Gu Xu thought in his mind, "The object of worship by the people of Dayan is actually just an illusory person. symbol.
“But because Huilu and Dayan Fire God have similar rules, authority and unknown relationship, I relied on the Huilu rune to occupy this divine position.
“I have to say that the power of faith is really powerful. Compared with God, the followers of Vulcan are pitiful, but I was almost burst by this power just now.
"No wonder Taishang Haotian wanted to create a supreme god with two sides in one body, and worked hard to usurp the incense that originally belonged to Emperor Ziwei. ”
At this time, he turned around and saw the high priest Chongli kneeling at his feet, as well as a room full of priests kneeling.
The development of the matter was obviously beyond the realm of possibility. What he expected.
How could he, a wanted criminal who was running around in a panic, accidentally become the incarnation of a god in the eyes of this group of people
Of course, the Gu Xu now is not the same as before. The innocent young man in Yishui County who only wanted to kill ghosts.
Even though his heart was filled with ups and downs, the expression on his face remained calm.
He was thinking. He is the enemy of the Da Qi court, and Dayan is also the enemy of the Da Qi court, and he has such a subtle relationship with Dayan, so can he take advantage of this opportunity to tie Dayan into his own chariot
Although Zhao Yan has expressed her willingness to give him asylum more than once, this is ultimately Zhao Yan's personal idea. If he agrees, in the eyes of the Yan people, he will be nothing more than a defector from outside and a future Queen. Guests recruited privately.
But if he is involved with the "Vulcan", it will be different.
The people of Dayan will completely regard him. Be your own person.
Even Zhao Yan’s opponents, at least on the surface, have to worship him on the altar and follow his will.
Maybe so. His actions were somewhat suspicious of exploitation.
But after he escaped from the Daqi border with a narrow escape, he has deeply realized that it is difficult to compete with a country with the strength of one person.
Before his wings are fully mature, he must try his best to find all possible help.
"People of Dayan, you will understand soon that I am doing this for the Great Wilderness Human Race. Fight for the cause of liberation," he said secretly in his heart.
Thinking of this, he bent down slightly, stretched out his hand to lift the high priest Chongli who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a kind but majestic tone, "Get up. . You should know very well that superficial etiquette is never what I care about. ”
Chong Li stood up trembling slightly, his eyes suddenly filled with tears.
p>"So you really didn't abandon us"
At the same time, Dayan Palace.
Zhao Changying looked at the daughter in front of him and was silent for a long time.
Suddenly, he turned his head and glanced out the window, "Yan'er, the guest you brought seems to have just made a lot of noise in the Fire Temple. If I'm not wrong, , He is the young man named Gu Xu who helped you awaken your bloodline."
"That's right." Zhao Yan nodded.
At this moment, she also clearly felt that there was a scorching power rising in the direction of the Fire Temple, which resonated strongly with her bloodline.
Zhao Yan was not surprised that her father easily guessed Gu Xu’s identity.
As a strong man in the realm of "True King", Zhao Changying's spiritual power has expanded to the limit, and he can almost cover an entire city and know what is happening in the city.
Gu Xu’s mask can block divination and observation spells, but it cannot stop Zhao Changying’s predictions based on experience.
"It seems that he really has a deep connection with our great Vulcan," Zhao Changying continued, "Yan'er, you have been staying with him in the past few days, have you considered putting him Stay in Dayan"
"I tried to recruit him, but he didn't give me a definite answer," Zhao Yan replied.
"The word "recruiting" is a bit disrespectful when applied to people like Gu Xu." Zhao Changying smiled faintly, "Even Luo Chuan behaved respectfully in front of him. Bring him tea and water.
“We cannot expect him to become our subordinate and make him loyal to us. We can only give him enough conditions, ask him to stay, and let him become one of our own. "
Zhao Yan remained silent, but she agreed with her father's statement in her heart.
In the process of getting along with Gu Xu, she could feel that Gu Xu was polite to others on the surface. , in fact, he was arrogant. Especially when he talked about gods and emperors, his tone did not contain the awe of ordinary people, but instead seemed to be discussing a trivial matter at home.
What's more, Gu Xu also told her that the main star of his life palace is "Purple Micro Star"
"How do you feel about him?" Zhao Changying suddenly interrupted her thoughts.
“Ah, it’s okay. "Zhao Yan was caught off guard and said.
"If you let him be your husband, would you be willing?"
Zhao Yan was stunned for a second, but she didn't expect her father to go around and talk for a long time. , and finally brought the topic back to her marriage.
“Didn’t I just tell you?” she retorted reflexively, “I hate close contact with men. "
"Then how should you explain that you let Gu Xu grab your arm just now in front of the palace?" The corners of Zhao Changying's mouth rose slightly, and there was a trace of naughtiness belonging to young people in his smile.< /p>
"This" Zhao Yan curled her lips, feeling that this was a bit difficult to explain, "I just regard him as a very good friend. Well, maybe a little bit for him.I appreciate it, but he already has a deeply emotional fiancée, and I can't do anything to him. "
"If the information I got is correct, he has been canceled by the woman. "
"Yes, the engagement was broken off, and he told me so. But this is ultimately due to external factors. I see how he is obsessed with his fiancée, and he is probably thinking about returning to the capital all the time, killing Emperor Tianxing, and rekindling their relationship. "
"Yan'er, you are wrong," Zhao Changying said earnestly, "Men are all face-saving creatures. Even if he really still misses that girl, it is impossible for him to get married to her again. "
"Why?" Zhao Yan felt puzzled.
"If I guessed correctly, he only told you about the divorce, but not the process of the divorce. "The details in it," Zhao Changying explained, "According to the intelligence obtained by the spies I sent to Luojing City, Shi Lei, Gu Xu's prospective father-in-law, who came to Qianhu in the prefecture, immediately took the matchmaker after Gu Xu was wanted. Called to his home, he broke the engagement in front of them and burned the betrothal gift that Gu Xu had sent before.
"After that, it was also because Shi Lei disclosed Gu Xu's information to Princess Zhaoning that Gu Xu's whereabouts were exposed in Jingxing.
"You should have understood that in In the custom of Daqi, it is extremely humiliating for a man to have a woman regret her marriage. It is also written in the Qi Code that if a woman regrets her marriage according to the law, she will be given sixty sticks according to the law, and she will be married to someone else with a hundred sticks.
"Shi Lei's case of breaking off the engagement for his daughter was a special matter and he was not subject to legal punishment. But purely from the perspective of his behavior of burning the bride price, it was a slap in the face of the man in public. In normal times, it is It's enough to make the two families become enemies."
Zhao Yan took a deep breath and remained silent.
Gu Xu had only told her before that he broke off the engagement just to clear up the relationship and protect Shi Xiaohan from being implicated; but she didn’t know that there were so many details hidden in it.
Especially during the battle at Jingxing, she saw that Gu Xu was outnumbered, covered in wounds, and his life was in danger under the pursuit of Daqi officials.
Gu Xu’s former father-in-law was the accomplice who forced him into a desperate situation.
It’s just that Gu Xu doesn’t seem to know this.
Moreover, when he mentioned Shi Xiaohan and her family, there was no complaint in his tone. Instead, he was full of understanding of their situation. At most, he could only sigh, "It's fate that makes people miserable." .
Gu Xu, Gu Xu, you are so kind. Zhao Yan sighed silently.
Vaguely, she suddenly felt a little unwilling to let Gu Xu leave her and go back to Luojing to renew their relationship, for fear that he would be hurt like this again in the future.
"Yan'er, I know that you have been a proud person since you were a child. You are not willing to change the principles you believe in easily, and naturally you are not willing to admit your inner feelings in person.
"But your eyes don't lie. Outside the palace, your eyes kept falling on him, as if he had somethingA magnet can grab your attention.
"When I was talking just now, I also saw that you were worried and nervous for him, with your brows furrowed tightly.
"I have never seen you worry about him. Others have shown such expressions.
"Not even your biological father has enjoyed such treatment."
Zhao Changying sighed lightly and continued.
"It's not that exaggerated, don't make it up." Zhao Yan frowned, still not seeming willing to admit it.
"Whether it is true or not, touch your heart and think about it carefully."
Zhao Yan snorted softly, but couldn't help but touch her right hand. Chest.
At this moment, she did notice that her heart was beating loudly.
However, her mind is too broad, and she really can't figure out the specific frequency of her heartbeat.
"You have grown up listening to the legends of the heroes of the Northern Territory. You should be very clear that respecting the strong has always been our Dayan tradition," Zhao Changying paused and then said, "As long as you are strong enough, you will have priority in obtaining all resources, including elixirs, money and beauties.
"As the children of the Zhao family, if we want something, we can just grab it ourselves. , why worry about other people’s opinions and give it up to others?
“I remember that I had dueled with others on the edge of the cliff for your mother. Your great-grandmother even single-handedly pursued your great-grandfather. , ambushed him on the mountain road he must pass, and intercepted him like a female bandit.
“I have heard others talk about Shi Lei’s daughter, but she is just an immature, short, yellow-haired girl. Only a young virgin in love would like that kind of girl. My daughter looks better than her and is stronger than her. If she wants a man, she is afraid that she will not be able to get him.
"Besides, the moment she broke the engagement, it was equivalent to voluntarily withdrawing from the competition. "
"Father" Zhao Yan sat up straight and frowned.
Although she was born in the north and knew that the folk customs in the north were tough, perhaps it was because she spent most of her childhood in Luojing City. She still inevitably felt a little awkward when talking about "stealing men".
"Okay, I won't rush you." Seeing Zhao Yan's appearance, Zhao Changying chuckled again, "You must be tired after running around for so many days. Go first Please change your clothes at home, rest for a while, and then think about this issue seriously."
Zhao Yan said "hmm", nodded, and walked out of the room absentmindedly.
Zhao Changying looked at her leaving back and took a long breath.
He once thought that with his daughter's temper, she might spend her whole life with brothel courtesans. Unexpectedly, before she died, she was waiting for the day when she would be as emotional as other girls.
Thinking of the young man named Gu Xu, his heartThe situation is quite complicated.
On the one hand, like all father-in-laws in the world, he felt that the little cabbage he had worked so hard to raise was going to be taken away by pigs;
On the other hand, he knew that Gu Xu’s His identity and potential are definitely extraordinary
It can be seen from Luo Chuan's attitude towards him that Gu Xu's future state will at least start as a saint, and will most likely be above it.
And with Gu Xu’s current incredible cultivation speed, it will not take him a few years to reach the realm of saint.
Now that Da Qi and Dayan are enemies, Zhao Changying’s time is running out.
Although Dayan still has a certain foundation, it will still be very difficult to resist the powerful Qi Dynasty.
If Gu Xu is willing to stay in Dayan, then when he matures, he will definitely become a powerful helper for Zhao Yan.
But the most important thing is the connection between Gu Xu and the "Vulcan".
With the spiritual perception ability of the "True Lord", Zhao Changying already knew everything that happened in the "Fire Temple" today.
Although he did not know the existence of the "Hui Lu" rune, nor did he know to what extent Gu Xu could control the power of the "Vulcan God", he could feel the faint movement of his bloodline power. , we can also predict how high Gu Xu will be in the hearts of "Vulcan" believers in the future.
Perhaps in the near future, Gu Xu’s prestige in the northern border will become higher than that of the Great Yan monarch.
Zhao Changying understands that such a person must not be let go and let him live among other forces; nor can he be treated with too strong a means to arouse his resentment.
The best way is to make him one of your own.
As it happens, Gu Xu was born a commoner, with no relatives or influence behind him.
Coincidentally, Zhao Yan also happened to have a good impression of him.
That’s why he directly mentioned the matter of marriage in front of Zhao Yan, hoping that the matter could be settled before his death.
Thinking of this, Zhao Changying raised his head and told the guard guarding the door, "When the friend brought by Yan'er comes out of the temple, please invite him here and tell me. I want to see him and have a good talk with him."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
