100. Basis of cooperation (1)

The Emperor of Destiny leaned on crutches and slowly moved his steps and lay back on the chaise longue, as if he was extremely tired. After a long time, he began to speak quietly.

"Do you think I'm very incompetent? When the people of Dayu suffered such a catastrophe, instead of providing relief, I sent an army to fend for themselves?"

"I am very incompetent, especially in this matter. I don't quibble. Emperor Heavenly Mandate sighed and looked at Shi Yuanji solemnly. "Get up, sit in a chair, listen patiently to what I have to say, and then decide whether or not you want to do that great thing. ”

"Speak, please. Shi Yuanji had speculated about this in his heart, and he stood up, not looking for a chair, but stood still, waiting for the words of the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny.

"Do you know who assassinated you in Xingqing Mountain that day?"

"I always thought it was someone from the Guiyi Tiger faction, could it be someone else?" Shi Yuanji recalled the events of that day, and felt a little unrecognizable to the young man in front of him.

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny snorted coldly: "Gui Yihu, that fierce and inward-looking, mean and selfish guy, can you make Xiao Tu and Li Ying work so hard? ”

"For ...... Why?"

"I guess you're asking me why I assassinated him, and why I really entrusted you with something important, and told you about it, right?"

Shi Yuanji nodded, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

"Let's not talk about this for now, do you know the topographical division of our Dongsheng Shenzhou?" For some reason, the Emperor of the Mandate of Heaven diverted the topic again.

"This is the first time in my life that I have gone far away, and I don't know the terrain of Dongsheng Shenzhou. Shi Yuanji didn't understand the thoughts of the Emperor of Heavenly Mandate at all, so he had to answer the question.

"Your hometown Haitang Town is in Hedong, Hedong is the fiefdom of the royal family, and the royal family will be placed here. When my father was there, the number of people in the clan swelled severely. These new clans annexed land everywhere, causing a continuous stream of displaced people, and by my generation, they finally couldn't control it. ”

"Hanoi is the most fertile land in Dongsheng Shenzhou, but it has been occupied by the Eight Pillars for a long time. Those families, you have also seen, the level is uneven. Occupy such a good territory, but can't cultivate decent talents. What's more, they always say that the Son of Heaven shares the world with the family, and always challenges the authority of the imperial court. ”

"You say, for the sake of Da Yu and for the sake of the imperial court, should these two forces be eradicated?" Although the Emperor of the Mandate of Heaven still looked exhausted, the killing intent in his eyes was undisguised.

Ask yourself, if you look at it from the perspective of the Emperor of the Heavenly Mandate, this is indeed the case. But what does this have to do with what the Emperor of Heavenly Mandate wants to explain, Shi Yuanji wondered in his heart.

"But it wasn't until I discovered these two problems that I understood how difficult it was to be in love. Because of the forces in the DPRK, there are few reliable ones. ”

Hu Dan can be relied on, but his son Hu Fashun seems to have some other ideas, so that Hu Dan's credibility is also implicated. ”

"Ouyang Xuan doesn't seem to be a party, but in fact, he has been secretly in line with my sister for a long time, and this time he sent troops to prevent the victims from escaping, just to please her. And Gui Yihu is silent on the outside, but in fact he is mean, and he is even more unclear with the Eight Pillars National Clan. ”

"Who do I believe, you say?"

After saying this, the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny took a deep breath and continued in a self-muttering tone: "I can't believe anyone! So with the help of Xi Fangshi, I secretly formed this army, the Twenty-Eight Star Monarch. ”

"When I learned that you went to visit Xifang Stone and disappeared in place, I panicked. Is there any other apocalypse in this world? So I asked them to assassinate you in the name of Gui Yihu's service. ”

Shi Yuanji clasped his hands in front of his chest: "I can understand, but Your Majesty, I'm not a three-year-old child, do you think I'll believe it?"

Silence descended on the palace again, and the two looked at each other wordlessly again.

"I didn't lie to you. The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny smiled bitterly.

"You're not lying, but that doesn't mean you're lying. Shi Yuanji clasped his hands in front of his chest and paced.

"The wanton annexation of land by the Hadong royal family has led to the rise of displaced people, and the threat of the Hanoi Eight Pillars to the imperial power is true. But Your Majesty, that's not what you're most worried about, is it?"

With that, Shi Yuanji raised his hand and pointed to the sky.

"Clever. The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny completely collapsed on the recliner, as if he didn't want to waste any more energy.

Shi Yuanji stopped: "You seem to have misunderstood, and because of this, I think there is room for cooperation with you." ”

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny seemed to have the strength again, and looked at Shi Yuanji solemnly.

"I don't trust those guys in the sky either. Shi Yuanji said with a smile.

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny looked at him in horror, a look of disbelief on his face.

"You're cursed because you didn't hide your true thoughts, right? But that's where our collaboration is possible, and you can trust me. ”

The Heavenly Mandate Emperor sneered, he stared at Shi Yuanji's eyes, as if he wanted to explore Shi Yuanji's true thoughts.

"What do you want? Or rather, what price do I have to pay to change your position. ”

Shi Yuanji waved his hand, and an invisible force dragged a chair over. He sat down facing the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny with a serious expression.

"Your Majesty still doesn't believe me, and you don't blame it. As an Apocalypse and Emperor, you have seen so many claws and magnates, and you naturally understand the desire for power among mortals. ”

"No one can know that he is blessed by Xi and can still be unfazed. He must be thinking about what is wrong, fantasizing about the happy days when he takes what he takes, and acts recklessly. ”

"But after all this time of contact with you, I can be sure that you are not that kind of person. In your heart, you have always rejected the heavenly guys, which has also led to the curse coming. ”

The Heavenly Mandate Emperor's face became very ugly, and he said word by word: "What about you? What do you mean by telling me this now? What interests are you pursuing?"

"God War. ”

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny looked puzzled: "What?"

"A god told me that she was the highest God I had ever seen. Faced with the questioning of the Emperor of Heavenly Mandate, Shi Yuanji did not smile. "If we mortals want to live, do we have to rely on God's kindness and charity?"

"No, they are never kind. Gods are all selfish guys. They only use us mortals as pawns to achieve their own interests. ”

"Two hundred thousand years ago, the Celestial Wolf sent out its claws and nearly destroyed mortals and goblins. Now, the claw has reappeared, isn't it clear what the wolf wants to do? Xi Liangshi's attitude is very ambiguous, which can be seen in Liu Fenghua's matter. ”

The Heavenly Mandate Emperor's doubts subsided slightly, but he seemed to have other worries, revealing an expression that wanted to speak and stopped.

β€œ...... Can you do that?"

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny asked a sentence that had no beginning or end, but Shi Yuanji knew what he wanted to express.

"I don't know. Shi Yuanji spread his hands and smiled helplessly.

"At the beginning, when I was kicked out of Haitang Town by Ding Yunzhi, I promised someone to help them survive. Just now, the old man named Li Sifu gave me his heart again, hoping that I would stop the Heavenly Wolf. ”

Shi Yuanji slowly raised the beating heart in front of him: "Your Majesty, you said, if you are expected by others and they give you their lives, what will you do?"

"Hehe, you're so naΓ―ve. The Heavenly Mandate Emperor's sneer gradually turned into a wild laugh, so much so that he coughed violently. "But I decided to work with you, because you and I don't have a choice. Speaking of which, what price are you willing to pay?"

"My life, I only have this ......" Shi Yuanji put down that heart and said solemnly.

The Emperor of Destiny sat up with difficulty: "Okay, I will play with you." However, if you want to succeed, you must first kill the Eight Pillars Kingdom and those disobedient royal families. You have to listen to me how to do this. ”

"You...... Do you have the patience?

"Hmph, the heavenly family is ruthless. Besides, if you don't even want your life, can't I give up everything?"

Looking at the decisive eyes of the Heavenly Mandate Emperor, Shi Yuanji's heart couldn't help but feel a little chilly.

"I'm willing to give up everything because I have nothing. But Your Majesty, are you willing to let go of fifty percent of your official rent? Would you like to say a few words to the veterans of the Shemale War 30 years ago? Would you like to let the homeless people have land to plant?"

"What's not to do, I can even give you this dragon chair if necessary!" the Heavenly Mandate Emperor's tone was categorical, and even his weak face could not make his attitude inferior.
