Chapter 33: Will
There was a dead silence.
Whether they heard it or not, all the Great Zhou people fell silent at this moment.
Zhu Luan looked at his palm.
She finally became a national warrior.
But it doesn't end at all, this moment is the beginning.
The news turned out to be true.
The huge contradictions that she had gradually realized since she crossed back had finally come to an outbreak in this land.
No, this may just be a precursor to an outbreak.
It's just the first wave of attacks from the black hand hiding behind it.
This attack, which has been brewing for many years, cannot be so simple, and the struggle between countries cannot be so simple.
Zhu Luan clenched his palms, feeling the luck that had just fallen on him.
said that it was luck, but in fact, she felt that it was more similar to something like the hint on Gu Shi.
Zhu Luan looked up at the beams of the huge palace.
She is more inclined to think that it is some spiritual remnants left by the former owner of this palace, which will only explode in a specific scene, and the psychological hints to the latecomers.
Zhu Luan felt an extremely vicissitudes of life in this spiritual residue, as if it came from an old man who looked down on all beings.
In this place, there can only be one old man who can leave such a feeling.
The founder of the Great Zhou
Emperor Taizu.
It's like the breeze that the queen of heaven arranged by the queen mother when she entered the Danfeng Gate, blowing the back of the candidates.
At that moment just now, the aura of desolation that rushed to his face was so real. If it was a hot-blooded young man who accepted it, it was really as if the hero of the troubled times, Emperor Taizu, came in person and entrusted the country's luck on his shoulders.
It is indeed not an exaggeration to say that it is the holy oracle of Emperor Taizu.
Although the founding emperor did not have the title of the great grandmaster, but only a wisp of breath was still so distinct after so many years, Zhu Luan estimated that the strength of Emperor Taizu should not be lower than that of the Jiming grandmaster.
Even more powerful.
Although the breath just now was not as good as the prohibition placed by the Queen of Heaven on the ancient stone at a very close distance, it did contain the will of the emperor.
Zhu Luan stroked his shoulder.
This is encouragement and imprisonment.
With the prohibition of the Queen of Heaven in front of her, Zhu Luan probably understood the purpose of Emperor Taizu to leave this breath.
The realm of Guoshi as a jinshi cannot be too high, but it is a very high starting point.
It is likely to develop into an uncontrollable force.
And the far-sighted emperor hoped that through such an aura, he would mobilize the sense of responsibility of the young man who might exist.
So that this person does not endanger the country.
It is impossible for such a breath to exist at the same time, which means that the hint that Gu Shi received back then has been transferred to himself at this time?
Does she count as a son inheriting his father's business?
Zhu Luan frowned.
But then, exhale.
When that breath came just now, she could have refused.
She is not the one to be instigated.
But at that moment, in the breath left by Emperor Taizu, Zhu Luan also felt another familiar breath.
It's faint, and maybe not even the person who left it on his own initiative.
It's just that this hall, which has stood for too long, has absorbed the breath of the woman who has become its owner for a short time.
and her will for this country.
In that breath, in addition to Emperor Taizu, the breath of another emperor was also integrated.
The breath of the queen of heaven.
So Zhu Luan did not refuse.
However, she was still going to settle accounts with Gu Shi later.
Gu Shi had never mentioned that becoming a national scholar would come with the breath of Emperor Taizu, but now that he thought about it, Zhu Luan felt more and more that this matter was not simple.
The condition he had proposed to be the second national warrior to meet him may not only be to find a powerful helper, or to hone and test the power that she possesses that she may be reborn.
Remembering that Gu Shi insisted that she take part in the palace examination and only reveal what the queen of heaven had encountered after becoming a national scholar, Zhu Luan's eyes became more and more solemn.
Back then, things may have been more complicated than she imagined.
Of course, the situation in Middle-earth is complicated enough now.
Zhu Luan placed his fist-clenched hand at his side, raised his head and looked around like other candidates, as if nothing had happened.
But the worst has already happened.
Zhu Luan only learned today that Gu Shi had actually been wearing a double shackle on his body, and she should have lifted a layer for him when she became a national soldier, but the powerful shackles left by the queen of heaven still existed.
But to think about it another way, that man is so powerful with two layers of shackles, one can imagine how terrifying the power of the First National Warrior of the Great Zhou without shackles is.
I am afraid that it was the departure of this terrible force that became the fuse of the upheaval in Xiliang.
Zhu Luan looked at the hall that gradually turned from dead silence to commotion, and pursed his lips.
The timing of all this was too coincidental, so that Zhu Luan had every reason to suspect that the upheaval of the Xiliang regime was not accidental.
Rather, it is the result of years of layout.
The previous King of Xiliang was a sane monarch to Zhu Luan, but for those who wanted to stir up the storm, the feelings were probably the opposite.
Gu Shi has been staying in Xiliang for unknown reasons, so that the black hands behind the scenes have not been able to do it.
Because the existence of any great grandmaster has the ability to subvert great events.
And just after Gu Shi left, everything exploded.
Zhu Luan closed his eyes and looked at the hall where panic was difficult to suppress and was about to erupt.
There was a strange atmosphere in the hall, and after this crucial news was confirmed, whether it was the civil and military officials or the newly born Jinshi masters, they didn't know what to do.
At this moment, Sang Yu's cold voice sounded again on the high platform.
"Now that the palace examination is over, let's start the court discussion."
"Civil officials above the third rank, cultivators above the top of the pole stay, and the others leave the temple."
The voice of the national teacher without any emotion has become the backbone of everyone at this moment, the voice fell, and the others did not dare to stay, the Jinshi who had just been canonized bowed his head and withdrew, and the other low-grade officials also put away any expressions and left the hall.
The Hanyuan Palace, which was originally overcrowded, immediately became empty.
Duan Lizheng stood stiffly in place, looking at the contemporaries who were leaving beside him.
In this hall, at this time, except for the disciples of the Xiliang Sword Pavilion and the high-ranking officials above the third rank, the only Jinshi left behind were those cultivators who had ascended to the extreme.
It couldn't be clearer what the next court discussion was going to be.
Theoretically, Jinshi who had not yet obtained an official position was not qualified to participate in such an important court meeting, but Duan Lizheng had seen this way of retaining people in the file before.
Once you become a jinshi, you also have an official body.
Then the life and power of the practitioner no longer belong to him.
The reason why the cultivators of the Ascending Extreme Realm want to stay is because regardless of their status, the cultivators above the Ascending Pole are an important combat force of a country.
This is the so-called wartime configuration.
