Chapter 16: The Beginning of Turmoil
"Lord, in the northwest of Jiangning, I don't know why today, there is a demonic spirit, and the last general will ask for his life and go to kill the monsters who make trouble." In Jiangning City, Zhao Yun came to Zhuo Ao's side and said in a deep voice.
"Well, I feel it too." Zhuo Ao looked at the northwest direction, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth: "The essence of the thick earth, although it is not as good as the origin of the five elements, it can be regarded as a genius earth treasure, you don't need to worry about this matter, Xiao Zhao and the others are there at the moment, with their current cultivation, there is no big problem." ”
Xiao Zhao's fellow practitioner of ice and fire has simulated the trend of yin and yang, the golden swallow qin dao is unparalleled, and can already simulate the world, the cultivation of the concubine in the way of the sword is no worse than Zhuo Ao's cultivation in the way of the gun, although the three girls are now in the realm of the Yuan Infant, but if the combat power is discussed, the three of them join forces, even the masters of the god realm have to avoid their edge.
As for Ren Tingting, perhaps in the past three years, she has gained the most, regardless of her physical cultivation for the time being, just the cultivation of the Yuan Shen is about to reach the realm of tribulation.
"Zilong doesn't have to worry, you can bring a group of people and horses to meet them." Zhuo Ao smiled, in a blink of an eye, it has been three years, this day has passed very quickly, but the receipt is not small, in the past three years, Zhuo Ao has benefited the people, and the merits obtained are not less than half a cent obtained by the four people to subdue demons and eliminate demons.
"The last general commands." After Zhao Yun bowed down to receive the order, he turned around and strode away.
Watching Zhao Yun's figure disappear outside the gate little by little, Zhuo Ao looked in the northwest direction, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Ning Caichen appeared at such a time, is it a coincidence or an inevitability?" Interesting. ”
Three years of preparation. For this dynasty that has been in turmoil, Zhuo Ao has made enough preparations. Although he is far away in Jiangning, every move in the palace cannot escape Zhuo Ao's ears and eyes. With the help of Ning Xiang over the years, the palace is now full of Zhuo Ao's ears and eyes.
The emperor's physical condition has deteriorated under the unremitting efforts of Ning Xiang over the years, and now, it has almost reached the point of running out of oil and lamps, but Zhuo Ao does not dare to take it lightly, this is the world of gods and demons, and his real enemy has never been the emperor in the palace, but behind this scene. The character who manipulates this big game of chess in the world.
Neither the emperor nor Ning Xiang is a chess piece in the confrontation between the two sides, but recently, this chess piece has become a little restless.
Thinking that Ning Xiang, a woman, had gradually begun to reduce her contact with herself after obtaining the secret method of swallowing dragon qi at the end, and Zhuo Ao's ears and eyes arranged in the palace were also being cleaned up little by little, the corners of Zhuo Ao's mouth couldn't help but smile, and he could see that this was a very ambitious woman, but maybe it was the reason why he devoured a lot of dragon qi. Or it is an inevitability of development to this point, this chess piece that was pulled up by Zhuo Ao is no longer willing to continue to be a chess piece, but wants to stand at the height of the chess player to play against Zhuo Ao.
Three years of palace strife have left this woman who is already ambitious enough. There has been a qualitative transformation, and I have to say that power is really a good thing to train people. It's a pity that my vision is still too low. In this world where gods and demons directly intervene in the human world, even he doesn't dare to be so public. A little prostitute dares to try to get involved in the world? It's ridiculous.
However, after three years of preparation, it is time for the real confrontation, so let me light the fuse of this troubled world!
"Roar Roar Roar~"
Zhuo Ao's body, suddenly golden light and generous, the entire Jiangning City, suddenly auspicious sky, nine golden dragons appeared in the sky above Jiangning City, soaring the world, after three hours, it turned into nine golden lights, accompanied by the sky of Jin Yao in the witness of countless pairs of eyes, into the governor's mansion.
Dragon, in the world of oriental mythology, but the representative of the sky, especially in the hearts of mortals, that is the representative of the orthodoxy of the emperor, the nine dragons soaring to the sky, in this chaotic world, there will always be a special symbol.
"Lord, Zhuge Wolong asks to see." The auspiciousness dissipated, and the guards of the Governor's Mansion hurriedly walked in and bowed to Zhuo Ao.
"Let him in." Hearing this, Zhuo Ao nodded indifferently, as for Xiangrui's matter, even if he didn't say it, there would naturally be countless people to promote him, but there were many spies from all sides in Jiangning City.
"You've decided?" Zhuge Wolong came in, looked at Zhuo Ao, his eyes flashed with a complicated light, and he said something inexplicably.
"The emperor will die soon, and the royal family has been killed by the demon queen in the three years of palace battles, and those who are qualified to inherit the throne have been almost killed by the enchantress, and the rest are either newborn babies or half-grown children, and as soon as the emperor dies, the world will be in chaos." Zhuo Ao turned his head to look at Zhuge Wolong, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "You and I have intersected, unconsciously, it has been three years, and some things, I think, are also time to make some breaks." ”
Whether to continue to be a bachelor of Tongtian Bo, or as a minister, to join the great era that is about to enter, this is three years, Zhuo Ao for Zhuge Wolong left an exam question, three years, is enough to change a person's concept, if three years can not change, then there is no need to change, Tongtian Bo Bachelor, after all, will be eliminated by the times, that word, is already Zhuo Ao's last ultimatum, if Zhuge Wolong chooses to continue to be his Tongtian Bo Bachelor, then he can also take his loyalty and Tongtian Bo Bachelor's archway, It's time to meet the previous emperors of this dynasty.
"Zhuge Wolong, see the lord." Taking a deep breath, Zhuge Wolong slowly bowed down in front of Zhuo Ao.
"I'm curious, how could you figure it out with your penchant for drilling?" Zhuo Ao didn't have too many surprises, the result was nothing more than two, a Zhuge Wolong, for Zhuo Ao, it was just the icing on the cake, the general trend has been grasped by him, Zhuge Wolong descended or not, it has no effect on the overall situation, with his current reputation, it is more than twice as strong as a Tongtian Bachelor.
"The truth has always existed, but what can make my subordinates figure it out is a little friend I met two days ago, if it weren't for his words, my subordinates might have chosen another path today." Zhuge Wolong's expression seemed to be a lot more relaxed, and there was a hint of a smile on his face.
The other way, both of them tacitly did not mention it.
"Oh? Who has the ability to convince an old stubborn? Zhuo Ao smiled and helped Zhuge Wolong Dao.
"This little friend's name is Ning Caichen, the old man was depressed that day, painting in Shili Pavilion, wanting to send love to the landscape and forget the troubles of the world......" Zhuge Wolong said that he met Ning Caichen that day and the exchange between the two later.
Zhuo Ao pursed his lips and expressed his affection for the landscape, to put it bluntly, he didn't want to face reality, a method used by literati to escape from himself, many works that have been passed down for centuries are held back in this situation, but when he heard Ning Caichen's matter, Zhuo Ao couldn't help but smile: "I can't imagine that he has a bit of fate with you." ”
"Does the Lord recognize my little friend?" Zhuge Wolong keenly captured some information from Zhuo Ao's words, and asked with some curiosity.
"I guess there was a one-sided relationship." Zhuo Ao nodded, looked at Zhuge Wolong and said: "Let's not talk about this matter for the time being, now, let me see your ability as a scholar of Tongtian, I want you to spread the auspicious things all over the world in the shortest possible time, but you can't let people know that I deliberately spread it, naturally, can you do it?" ”
"It's not that hard." Zhuge Wolong nodded when he heard this: "I don't know if the lord may calculate the exact time when the faint monarch will die?" ”
"It's just a day or two, and I won't survive tomorrow at the latest." Zhuo Ao nodded, this is not difficult to guess, since Ning Xiang has the courage to resist himself, compared to the acceptance of dragon qi, it has reached the end, once the dragon qi is completely stripped away, the emperor's body that has been squeezed dry by Ning Xiang over the years has lost the nourishment of dragon qi, and it will be difficult to live for two days.
"My subordinates know." Zhuge Wolong nodded, said goodbye to Zhuo Ao and left, although the time of the emperor's death is not far away, but in order to stabilize the regime in the palace, but also to stabilize the hearts of the people, it will definitely be kept secret, during this time, if the operation is good, the time left for him will be quite generous.
Fame, righteousness, in troubled times, for an ambitious person, even more important than a hundred thousand soldiers.
……
Thousands of miles away in the capital, at this moment the whole capital is shrouded in an uneasy atmosphere, the originally bustling streets, now become empty, even if there are occasional pedestrians, they are in a hurry, more, or a team of forbidden troops frequently appear on the street.
In the palace, the Qianyang Hall was originally a place where the imperial court discussed state affairs every day, but at this moment, it had already passed the early dynasty, but a group of civil and military ministers were waiting outside the Qianyang Palace, gathering in groups of three or five, talking about their own affairs in a whisper.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty today, the dragon body is not safe, and you can't go to court early, so all your adults are scattered." A eunuch came out of the Qianyang Palace and looked at the group of civil and martial arts with an apologetic expression.
"Father-in-law, Your Majesty has not been to the court for a month, I don't know what kind of illness Your Majesty is suffering from, please pass on your Majesty, now the country is in turmoil, although the protector of the country has brought a large number of civil ministers and military generals to the Quartet to appease the people, but if Your Majesty can't come out to govern one day, it will be difficult for the world to be truly peaceful, I hope that I can meet Your Majesty, if it is really Your Majesty who is critically ill, I will have to be prepared."
"This ......" Gonggong An looked at the few generals who were slowly approaching, and there was a posture of cutting people if you didn't agree to me, and his heart was cold, and he quickly nodded and agreed: "Ladies and gentlemen, wait a minute, I'll go and pass it on." ”
"Father-in-law An, go and come back quickly, don't let us wait for a long time, these days, there are too many rumors in the capital, and I don't blame General Wu Wei for being anxious."
"I'll save this, you lords later." Gonggong An secretly wiped his sweat, smiled and nodded, then quickly returned to the Qianyang Palace, went out from the back door of the Qianyang Palace, and walked towards the deep palace. (To be continued.) )
