Chapter 131 Accepting the Order
It was unknown whether it was because his cultivation skills were still shallow that he was unable to completely eliminate the physical characteristics that originally belonged to the turtle;
Or was it actually something he did on purpose, deliberately retaining some of the characteristics of his original body?
In short, this old turtle was carrying an extremely large turtle shell on his back, as big as a small hill. The shell was thick and hard, and was covered with mottled marks left by the years, as if carrying a thousand years of vicissitudes of history.
The tortoise shell was as heavy as a small mountain, with crisscrossing lines on it, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.
From a distance, it seems to carry the vicissitudes of thousands of years and the sedimentation of history, giving people a heavy sense of oppression.
The old turtle was carrying its shell with great difficulty, its body almost bent into a bow shape. Every step it took seemed extremely strenuous, as if it would collapse at any moment from the weight.
However, even so, it still firmly held a bright yellow imperial edict in its hand, which shone brightly under the sunlight, like a golden lightning streaking across the sky.
At this time, the old turtle stood on a high place, looking down at the people kneeling on the ground.
It shouted loudly with a slightly hoarse but majestic voice
"Accept the decree, Miss Bi! This is a marriage agreement granted by the king himself. It is about marrying with the royal family of another country. This is a great opportunity for our South China Sea!"
After saying this, the old turtle's eyes were as sharp as torches as he slowly scanned the people in front of him who were kneeling on the ground and were reluctant to stretch out their hands to take the imperial edict.
Some of them looked horrified, while others frowned, seeming confused and uneasy about this sudden imperial edict.
At the same time, the words he had heard in the court before involuntarily emerged in the old turtle's mind.
At that time, all the civil and military officials in the court had a heated discussion about this marriage, with various views and opinions emerging one after another.
Some people believe that this is a rare political marriage that can strengthen the friendly relations between the two countries;
Some people also worry that there may be unknown risks and conspiracies hidden in it...
It turns out that although the sixth prince Wu Chengming was given the title of king and a magnificent mansion, this does not mean that he had ever made any earth-shaking and glorious military achievements on the battlefield.
Just push one person out to make peace with the South China Sea country.
The earth-shattering battle with the ancient kingdom of the West Coast made the ancient kingdom of the West Coast famous and powerful.
Looking back to that year, the old Dragon King was in poor health, and there was even shocking news that he was critically ill.
The only people who knew about this matter were the powerful ministers in the court.
Who could have expected that such highly confidential information would disappear as if it had wings, and inexplicably be transmitted to the ancient country on the distant west coast!
Although this thrilling battle ended with our victory, the current state of the national treasury is extremely dire and has become extremely empty.
The entire national treasury was like a huge treasure house that was originally filled with rare treasures, but now it has been completely emptied out, leaving only ruins and dust everywhere.
Such a situation has undoubtedly cast a thick shadow over the future of our country, making people feel suffocated and filled with worry and anxiety!
What is even worse is that the surrounding foreign countries and some tribal forces are like ferocious, cunning and hungry wolves, eyeing the vast and resource-rich South China Sea with covetous eyes.
They bared their sharp fangs, grinding their teeth and sucking blood, their eyes flashing with chilling greed and ambition. They looked as if they couldn't wait to pounce and bite off a piece of fat flesh to satisfy their endless desires.
The old turtle stood still, like a steady mountain, yet its heart was far less calm than its outward appearance. It slowly opened its mouth and took a deep breath of fresh air, as if to draw all the peace in the world into its lungs, thereby calming the emotions surging in its heart like turbulent waves.
Time had left traces of both deep and shallow scars on the old turtle's body. Its eyes, weathered yet brimming with wisdom, now moved at an extremely slow pace. Every subtle movement seemed weighted, as if carrying a tremendous force. Its solemn expression was like a sky covered in dark clouds, oppressive and almost suffocating. Finally, it once again cast its gaze upon the kneeling people before it.
The old turtle's gaze was like a sharp flash of lightning, darting through the crowd. It seemed to be desperately searching for some crucial clue or key to solving a mystery. However, every face in the crowd looked so unfamiliar and bewildered, making the old turtle's search increasingly difficult and tortuous.
At that moment, the old turtle's gaze stumbled upon the silent woman, her head bowed. Instantly, his heart trembled, as if struck by an invisible force. Though it was only a fleeting glance, the old turtle sensed a distinct aura emanating from this woman, as if she harbored countless unknown secrets...
Although one can only see her graceful and charming back, just based on this glimpse, it is enough to easily judge that this woman must have a beauty that can make fish sink to the bottom of the water, geese fall to the ground, and the moon hide in shame. She is a rare and stunning beauty in the world.
Her slender figure is like a willow branch swaying in the wind, light and graceful;
The black and shiny hair falls on the shoulders like a waterfall, exuding a charming luster;
The snow-white long dress made her look like a fairy from heaven, otherworldly and otherworldly.
There was a barely perceptible sadness in the old turtle's weathered eyes. It sighed softly in its heart, as if this sigh carried the heaviness and helplessness of thousands of years.
That sigh was like the sound of an ancient bell, stirring up ripples in the silent sea of heart, and endless emotions surged into my heart like a tide.
At this moment, a clear sound like the sound of nature suddenly came
"I, Bi Yaoyao, accept your order."
Hearing the sound, everyone turned their heads to look, and their eyes were instantly attracted by a beautiful figure.
Bi Yaoyao stood up slowly and gracefully from the ground. Her movements were as light as a dancing swallow, and every subtle movement exuded an innate noble temperament.
However, what is surprising is that according to common sense, there should be a turtle man who comes forward to assist Bi Yaoyao in completing the ceremony of receiving the decree, but there is no one at the scene.
The whole scene seemed a little deserted and weird.
Seeing this, the old turtle nodded slightly to show his approval. Its low and slow voice echoed in the air.
"Of course, the Nanhai Kingdom will always remember the great feats and outstanding contributions your Prime Minister's Office has made to the country."
Although he was surprised by Bi Yaoyao's calmness, he quickly reacted.
