Chapter Seventy-Seven: Converge a bit
And after Wan Chaozong followed the secret guard into the palace, he learned that the emperor was dealing with political affairs and needed to let him wait in the palace for a while.
The secret guards all glanced at the person who reported the news in advance, and the person also responded with a look of embarrassment.
After they took their leave, everyone looked at the secret guard with cannibalistic eyes.
"Several, don't look at me like that! I've already reported it, but the emperor just has something! What can I do? Then he said: "Why don't you think about it, where does the emperor usually rest at noon?" ”
The few people also understood, and the leader said in despair: "Forget it, we have helped to this point, if something really happens, we will also work hard for our lives." ”
After following Wan Chaozong's comfort for a short time, his heart was extremely sad: "Boss, I'm still so young, do I want to die because of him?" Boss, I haven't lived enough! ”
"As soon as you enter the royal sea, the moment we enter, you should know that our lives are no longer our own." The leader of the Dark Guard sighed.
One of the men standing behind them suddenly said, "If you want to live, then listen to me, do what I say, and I will make sure you are safe." ”
The guards who were feeling their lives suddenly heard the familiar figure, and they all looked back at the person in horror.
Although they looked at each other, secretly thinking about how powerful that person's aura was, they didn't even notice his footsteps.
"Look no further, you've come to this point, even if you help the emperor, what can you do? If you help him, your life may not be saved, even if you don't think about your own life, you have to think about your family. ”
The moment those secret guards entered the palace, they were told by their respective masters that their lives belonged to the emperor, and the king let the ministers die, and the ministers had to die to brainwash, and they were suddenly persuaded by the people who had been standing behind them, and they couldn't accept it for a while.
Especially the secret guard who had been following Wan Chaozong for more than ten years, and the moment that person exited, he had already stopped him: "Presumptuous, do you know what you are talking about?" If we had told the emperor about you, would you think you would have survived today? ”
"What if you don't live? If I die, do you think you'll still live? I remember the last time I was about to be beheaded, a group of secret guards also died, wasn't your master among them? Have you forgotten? He reminisced about the past, but his eyes were sharp at the man.
"I ......"
The man stopped talking, just looked at the people around him with a playful expression.
And that person was also watched by the surrounding secret guards: "Boss, is what he said true?" ”
That person was speechless, how could he say it, could it be true to tell them that his master, the master he respected the most in his life, died in that unprovoked struggle, but was that his master deserved? Do you deserve to be implicated for not completing the task?
He couldn't say that kind of thing, and that thing was also a pain in his heart for the rest of his life, and when they saw that the leader did not speak, they knew it in their hearts.
"So what? We have already abandoned our lives the moment we entered the palace, all we need to do is to be loyal to the emperor, you don't want to provoke us. "When that person spoke, his heart was very empty.
"Okay, then let's be loyal to your emperor, but this time I want to see if it's you who died this time, or the one in the palace." There was a hint of sarcasm in the man's words.
The Dark Guards were beside their leader, and they were also looking at each other, and they didn't spend as much time as the leader had been with the Emperor.
Their allegiance to the emperor was not as strong as that of their leader, but the leader's attitude was too tough, and they were helpless.
"Chief, save us, we really don't want to die, I'm still so young, I haven't even married a wife, if I am killed now because of this little thing, then I will really regret dying." One of the guards cried.
"Alright, what are you crying here as a secret guard? Hurry up, don't let others see it, save me another shame. The leader shouted at the slightest rebuke.
Helplessly, those people could only swallow their grievances and continue to stick to their posts.
But when that person left, the leader couldn't help but think deeply about what the man had just said, he could die, but what about his family? His family is all supported by him, and if he dies, what will happen to his family?
Two hours later, the emperor was finally late, and when the emperor entered the door, Wan Chaozong looked at the emperor with a trace of bloodthirsty light in his eyes.
Before Wan Chaozong could speak, the emperor said, "I heard that there is movement in the Wanque Kingdom, and it has also united those small countries around them, how about it?" Can you catch them all this time? ”
Wan Chaozong glanced at the secret guard standing beside the emperor, and his eyes were slowly puzzled, but seeing that the secret guard refused to give him a look at all, he replied to the emperor's words: "Yes, didn't you say it when you went to the royal palace yesterday?" Didn't Yan Feilou's lonely thoughts this time say that he could help us catch those people? ”
The reason why he looked at the dark guard suspiciously was because he knew that if it was just because of this trivial matter, the emperor would not have summoned him at all, after all, the Wanque Kingdom was not even a drop in the bucket in his eyes, so how could he see him because of this matter.
"Didn't you say that you have something important to tell me when you see me today? You don't want to go around in circles, did you find something in the country of ten thousand birds? That's why they hurriedly came to report to me. ”
Wan Chaozong glanced at the leader of the dark guard puzzled, the dark guard completely turned things upside down, obviously it was the emperor he said called it, why is it here, it becomes that he has something to tell.
In order to have more than one thing and one thing less, Wan Chaozong could only casually pull up a reason: "I heard that there is an ancient divine beast around the Wanque Country, but I don't know what it is, when I am ready to send troops to the south to conquer the Wanque Country, see where the divine beast is, and then dedicate it to His Majesty the Emperor." ”
This is the first time that Wan Chaozong said that he wanted to offer something to the emperor, which made the emperor feel the joy of his life: "Have you finally figured it out after so many years?" The two of us are father and son and not enemies, why do you have to be full of hatred for me for so many years. ”
"Gift to gift, this has nothing to do with the fact that the two of us are father and son, it has nothing to do with it, this is just what I should do as a courtier, you should not say this kind of father-son talk in the future." Wan Chaozong didn't have any hatred for the emperor, but he was full of suspicion.
The emperor also didn't understand a little, if Wang Chaozong hadn't eliminated his hostility towards him, why would he give him a gift? This is the first time in history.
"Then you ......"
"It's useless for me to keep that divine beast, and I may not be able to surrender it, so as not to be counterattacked, aren't you the most powerful person in the entire cultivation realm? Then see if you have the ability to submit it. ”
Although it was not reconciled, the emperor was full of joy when he saw that Wan Chaozong was finally willing to take the initiative to talk to him.
"Well, although I don't know why your temperament has changed so much, as long as it is a gift from you, I feel happy."
Wan Chaozong didn't want to entangle with the emperor anymore, so he was directly ready to retire: "Since I have already reported to you, if there is nothing to do, I will leave." Without waiting for the emperor to speak, Wan Chaozong had already raised his legs and left.
The moment he turned around, the emperor's face had already fallen in a blink of an eye: "What is his purpose in coming this time?" Why are you suddenly going to give me a gift? ”
The leader can't tell the emperor because he deceived Wan Chaozong.
can only be like Wan Chaozong, casually telling a lie: "Today the prince met the daughter of the lonely family, and I don't know what the two of them said, and then they came to the palace and said that they wanted to give a gift to the emperor." ”
After hearing this, the emperor only snorted coldly: "Hmph, so many years can be regarded as too hearted, otherwise I would really wonder if my son has any second heart." ”
"How so? The prince does not have so much royal power and wealth in his heart. "The dark guard is also unprecedentedly said good things for Wan Chaozong today.
It's just that he has never said anything good, but it aroused the emperor's suspicion, he took a sip of the tea in front of him, and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth: "I remember that you never said anything good to him, why has it changed today?" ”
At this time, the dark guard knew that he had just lost his words, and he couldn't help but sweat coldly on his back, and he knelt on the ground suddenly.
"The emperor is clear, the minister has no two hearts, the words just said are just so many years of tracking, monitoring the conclusion of the prince, Weichen has always been loyal to the emperor, if you don't believe it, you can ask my subordinates, these years the prince as your son, loyal to the country, is a rare loyal minister."
Even if I said so many things that were beneficial to Wan Chaozong, what I got was only more suspicious of the emperor.
"Loyalty, he is loyal to only those people in the frontier he cares about, not me at all, for those people, he can turn against me anytime and anywhere, just a group of ants, and I don't know where he got his loyalty."
The emperor's sarcasm made the leader of the dark guard unhappy for a while, but it was just that the emperor was still in front of him.
"Yes." It's just a yes answer.
"Keep an eye on him, see what he wants to do, don't be like his concubine, it's all a thing." When the emperor mentioned the concubine of the Ten Thousand Dynasty, he was also disgusted in his heart.
