Chapter 0286: Mysterious Black Shadow!
"Immortal Sect? Gu didn't think of this, but the King of Zhendu, the Immortal Sect is the foundation of the grassland people's faith, how can they be willing to dissolve the Immortal Sect? And the Immortal Sect itself can't agree to it, how should the empire deal with it?" Zhu Li frowned. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
When the ministers in the palace heard about the Immortal Sect, they talked about it a lot, and their expressions were excited, just now they only cared about the surrender of the grassland khan, but they didn't expect that there was actually a more powerful enemy on the grassland.
Immortality!
Among them, there are countless masters, and every time there is a war with the steppe people, almost all of them are initiated by the Immortal Sect, it can be said that the people of the Immortal Sect are the main messengers behind the scenes who dominate the people on the grassland, and the Khan is compared with the Immortal Sect, and the influence is probably not comparable.
"This is a trouble, but immortality is not eliminated, and the grassland is unstable! Your Majesty definitely does not want a tiger entrenched next to the couch, so there is only one problem to discuss between us and the Khan's envoy!" Qin Fei smiled.
"Well, the king of Zhendu is right, the tiger is beside him, even if the Khan surrenders, I'm afraid that the greedy giant tiger will be unwilling!" Zhu Li nodded.
The matter was decided in this way, and the civil and military officials who were arguing in the palace were silent at this time, and the tiger was not removed, in fact, the Khan's sheep was killed or raised, and the hunters could not count it.
Soon the envoy sent by the Khan entered the palace to meet the emperor, and Zhu Li was also direct, asking: "The Khan is willing to be a minister, I don't know what the meaning of the Immortal Sect is?"
The envoy was a typical steppe man, about forty years old, the skin on his face was dark, there was no beard, his long hair was casually draped behind his shoulders, and his eyes were full of cunning, when he heard His Majesty the Emperor ask, he hurriedly saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty, the matter of surrender, the Immortal Sect has not yet known, the Khan's meaning is to hope that His Majesty can borrow troops to help the Khan take the Immortal Sect, and from now on, no one on the grassland will affect the Khan's decision!"
"Oh, you Khan is a good idea! borrow my soldiers to get rid of the tiger of the steppe, so will the Khan become the wolf of the queen of tigers?" Zhu Li sneered.
"Your Majesty, the Khan's loyalty to the world can be learned! You are loyal to Your Majesty, and there is no second heart! It's just that now on the grassland, because of the alternation of the old and new Khans, if you let the Khan send someone to deal with the Immortal Sect, I am afraid it will cause a backlash from the people, so the Khan thought hard, and finally felt that the country was talented, and he was able to do this, and the Khan had made a detailed plan, and the inside and outside should be combined, and it would be done!" the envoy said politely.
"Joke! If Lone helps him eradicate the Immortal Sect, won't the people on the grassland hate Lone? When the time comes, why talk about Toucheng? Won't the people object?" Zhu Li sneered, his eyes were like lightning, like a proud dragon, staring coldly at his humble subjects.
"Your Majesty, this is the only condition of the Khan, the Immortal Sect is not eliminated, the Khan is powerless, and now the opinions of the tribes are very different, the Khan is working hard to do their ideological work, some tribes are very radical, clamoring to cross the Valley of Eternal Life, the Khan has been loyal to His Majesty to share his worries, and I hope His Majesty's grace!" the messenger's eyes flashed, and his voice suddenly raised.
"Presumptuous!" Zhu Li was furious, slapped the chair back, and got up angrily, Long Wei was angry, and in an instant, hundreds of imperial city troops poured out of the hall, murderous, and a killing aura swept like an autumn wind, towards the messenger like a fierce flood, pressing hard.
The envoy hurriedly knelt down, but his face did not show the slightest panic, he looked at the emperor intently, and said: "Your Majesty is angry, the Khan's trouble, I hope Your Majesty will see it! If the Immortal Sect is not eliminated, the matter of surrender is far away!"
"Stand down!" Zhu Li stared at the envoy for a long time, then ordered the Imperial City Army to retreat, looked at Qin Fei, and said, "King Zhendu, do you have an idea?"
Qin Fei stood up, muttered for a while, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter can be big or small, the Khan's surrender is related to the stability of the frontier, otherwise, there will be endless troubles, and the empire has to make a choice of its own! The Immortal Sect is the pillar of the heart of the grassland people, and it has always been a great disaster for me in the Central Plains!"
"Escort him down and guard him strictly, and the others will disperse!" Zhu Li saw that Qin Fei wanted to speak and stopped, his eyes lit up, and he ordered to retreat from the court, and then called Qin Fei to the study in the side hall.
"Brother Fei, you seem to believe the other party?" Zhu Li looked at Qin Fei, as if he wanted to see through his thoughts.
Qin Fei smiled and said, "Brother Li actually believes it too, right?"
"Believe it! The new khan on the grassland will not make a wrong choice! Because the letter of surrender is with me, once it is discovered that he has different intentions, this letter of surrender will be his death, and the tribes of the grassland will not believe him, and the Immortal Sect will never tolerate this matter in the slightest!" Zhu Li knocked on the table, making a knocking sound, and his expression became a little solemn.
"It's not peaceful on the steppe, the Immortal Sect and the Khan have always been opposites, and the long pressure on the top of the Khan's head is like a sharp sword, and these generations of Khans have long had the heart to resist, and these are no secret in the empire. The all-out struggle has always been cruel and indifferent, the empire is like this, and the steppe khan is no exception! We have already understood all this! It's just that I have never been able to make up my mind, this time to deal with the Immortal Sect, how to do it, once the news leaks out, or fails, the Immortal Sect will definitely fight back, the Khan can't suppress all the steppe people, and then it will be a national war! It's a headache!"
Zhu Li's always steady expression showed deep concern.
Qin Fei nodded, he didn't have the slightest knowledge about leading troops to fight, and he couldn't help Zhu Li's trouble.
"Brother Fei, I have a feeling that this new khan seems a little strange, why do you immediately want to surrender to me as soon as you become a khan?" Zhu Li suddenly stared at Qin Fei with his eyes, his expression extremely serious.
Qin Fei looked at his eyes, like a wolf king, his eyes were filled with a light that saw thousands of autumns like knowing the wheel of life, so that he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, could it be that Zhu Li already knew that the new khan was completely fierce and had an inextricable relationship with himself?
He calmed down, smiled faintly, and said, "Brother Li, you have to wait for the Khan to ask him face to face, I don't know!"
"Huh...... Yes, this person's idea is really wild, and it gave me a big surprise, Brother Fei, I still have some political affairs to deal with, you can go back first!" Zhu Li smiled and retracted his gaze, his expression returning to normal.
Qin Fei walked out apprehensively, his eyes were full of doubts, did Zhu Li find something?
Watching Qin Fei's figure disappear into the distance, Zhu Li suddenly sighed with a lonely face, sat back on the chair, brushed his smooth forehead, and gently tapped his slender fingers on the table a few times, his sword eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his eyes showed a sense of helplessness.
"How's the investigation going?" he muttered to himself as he suddenly faced the empty side hall.
Swish!
As his voice fell, a black shadow cut through the void and appeared in the hall, this black shadow did not exude a trace of mystery, standing in the hall, but it felt very ethereal and difficult to find, even if the eyes saw him, they would feel like a dream, and it felt so unreal.
And with his appearance, within a radius of one zhang centered on him, the space is actually distorted, like a thin veil through countless layers, illusory and shadowless, the first time you see him, you will feel that he is here, and the heaven and earth are merged, but when you look at the second glance, you will feel that he is actually not standing there, and there is a distance that can never be reached.
His whole body was shrouded in a pitch-black robe, he couldn't distinguish between men and women, and he couldn't distinguish his appearance, only the eyes exposed in the black scarf, and from time to time two cold rays shot out, making the air filled with a cold aura.
I saw that after he appeared, he owed Zhu Li slightly, which was regarded as a salute, if there was a court master who was well versed in etiquette, he would definitely accuse him of ignorance of etiquette, which was a great disrespect to His Majesty the Emperor.
However, Zhu Li didn't take it to heart, there was no trace of dislike in his eyes, and he seemed to have become accustomed to it.
"Your Majesty! The black shadow responded, his voice low and slow, and there was not the slightest hint of emotion.
Zhu Li's face became more and more solemn, and after a long time, he sighed deeply and waved his hand, his expression was full of helplessness: "Continue to investigate, I want to know everything about him!"
"......Huh" The black shadow nodded lightly, his body moved slightly, and the illusory feeling disappeared in an instant, and his whole person completely disappeared into the hall, without a trace of breath fluctuations, as if he had never appeared......
