Chapter Eighty-Four: In front of the sword worship platform, the curtain opened
My heart hardened! Gu Xiao said secretly in his heart as he stepped away.
He found that the anger brought about by being betrayed by his own country and betrayed by his own family had not dissipated for such a long time.
In the past 20 years, his hands have long been stained with blood, and even he does not know how many people have died in his hands in the past 20 years, and how many people have died inexplicably because of his calculations.
Gu Xiao sometimes asks himself, asking himself if he is more ruthless now than when he was Bai Sheng in the past!
When he was Bai Sheng back then, there were not many people he had really killed, and most of them were executed by his order. Although these blood debts are all counted on him, it does not mean that he will feel guilty for this. As a person who knows the trajectory of history, he knows very well that the return of the Seven Heroes to Qin is the real general trend.
Therefore, when he killed these people, he did not have the slightest emotion in his heart.
For at that time, he saw that the deaths of these people were sacrifices that had to be made in order to earn a practice of true peace.
Sometimes the interests of the majority must be sacrificed for the sake of the few! This is something that must be learned as a superior person.
But this life is different, because this world is not the end of the Warring States period, this world is a comprehensive world, and there is no so-called historical trajectory that can be used as an excuse for him to act as a shield! In other words, he simply does not know how the world should develop, and there is no reason to intervene.
But he still chose to intervene, to be precise, he should have chosen to turn the clouds and rain in this world and make a mess of the whole world. As long as he is sure that it will be beneficial for him to do so, he will not hesitate to choose to carry out his crazy plan!
on this. No matter how many people are sacrificed, he will not feel the slightest guilt in his heart.
What even Gu Xiao didn't know was that he didn't know when, that ruthless, cruel and vicious belief had been rooted in his heart, making him extremely crazy.
Just now, the reason why he didn't choose to kill Tie Feihua and Ruthless. The reason is naturally not because he said to these two women, he covets the beauty of these two women!
In Gu Xiao's view, women are indeed an indispensable thing on the road to a successful man, but they are definitely not a vital thing!
At least, in his opinion at this moment, women are far less important than the pleasure of playing with power and stirring up the world.
The reason why he chose to let Tie Feihua and Ruthless go just now was because he wanted to completely destroy these two women!
In the eyes of these two women, representing the orthodox emperor. must be able to defeat the self who represents rebellion, then he will completely destroy the beliefs of these two women and let these two women completely collapse. Wouldn't that be more interesting than if he were killing these two women right now?
When he understood what was going on in his heart, he was really shocked.
Because he underestimated the impact of that encounter on him when he was in the Star Continent.
He found that he had changed!
I'm not the same person anymore!
Isn't this change bad, though? Come to think of it. The corners of Gu Xiao's mouth couldn't help but reveal a wicked smile.
Worship the sword platform!
It was built by the current emperor to worship the heavenly sword of Qin Shi Huang!
It took half a year, and now this sword worship platform has finally been built.
Today. It is the day of the sword worship chosen by the national teacher.
Early in the morning, all the official yamen up and down the capital were all in motion, no matter which yamen it was, even if it was an official of the Qingshui Yamen, they were all in full swing now. The efficiency of the entire government and yamen in the capital reached unprecedented efficiency on this day.
It's not noon yet. The affairs in the yamen were all dealt with, and then in the entire capital, officials large and small, and even people from all over the country who came to the capital flocked to the direction of Baijiantai. These shrewd officials are all thinking about waiting for the victor to appear. Be able to swear allegiance to the new emperor as soon as possible. It's just that when these extremely cunning officials rushed to the sword worship platform, they found that at this moment, the front of the sword worship platform was already full of fans from Jinyiwei and Dongchang.
These fans who swore allegiance to the emperor were all fierce-eyed and murderous, and most of them subconsciously pressed their hands on the hilt of the knife at their waist.
It's just that what shocked the officials who came from various yamen was that opposite Dongchang and Jinyiwei's fanzi, there was actually a large group of untidy Jianghu guests.
These Jianghu guests openly occupied the side of the sword worship platform, and confronted the people of Jinyiwei and Dongchang!
That old bastard is going to rebel! Among the officials, there were a few sharp-eyed ones, and they recognized at a glance that these people were none other than the National Teacher's Desire Immortal Gang, and immediately spread the news, and then there was a commotion in the entire official team. Although these people have long known that there will be a coup d'état in today's events, seeing the Desire Immortal Gang jump out so openly still makes some officials who claim to be loyal to them unbearable.
Some of them were bold and wanted to jump out on the spot, but fortunately they were stopped by the people around them.
The sun is rising higher and higher, and on the sword worship platform, which was originally only guarded by Fanzi and the Desire Immortal Gang, some royal relatives began to appear one after another.
First of all, the Iron Courage Shenhou came with his three sons and daughters, and then Dongfang Hou, the two brothers shivered a few words with each other as soon as they met, and then they stood on both sides of the sword worship platform.
Then came Gu Xiao.
To tell the truth, Gu Xiao originally planned to come early and prepare to control the situation, but when he received the emperor's holy decree, he was stunned to find that on his body, he still had the name of the head of the internal guard. Although he has not been on duty for a day, he is the emperor's chief executive.
Therefore, after receiving the emperor's holy decree, he could only follow the holy decree depressedly and escort Concubine Ju and the little prince to worship the sword platform.
There's no way, even if it's almost torn up now, but after all, it's better to listen to the emperor's holy decree.
In this way, in the end, Gu Xiao took a group of Ouchi guards to escort Concubine Ju and the little prince to the sword worship platform.
At this moment, under the stage of worshipping the sword, it turned out to be the civil and military officials in the court, and on the stage were the Jinyiwei and the fans of Dongchang around the emperor, as well as the gangs of the Desire Immortal Gang. At the top, it is these royal relatives.
Now, the only person left who has not yet appeared is the emperor!
Gu Xiao stood at the top of the sword worship platform, wearing the official uniform of the head of his inner guard, waiting for the emperor to appear.
Soon, you people who call long live the mountain will not be this one! Looking at the officials under the sword worship stage, Gu Xiao sneered in his heart.
When he withdrew his gaze, his gaze subconsciously met with that of the Iron Courage Divine Marquis.
The uncle and nephew looked at each other, and a sneer appeared on the corner of their mouths!
Fortunately, the appearance of the emperor interrupted their gaze!
At this moment, a loud shout rang out:
"The emperor has arrived!" With a strange shout of yin and yang, under the protection of Cao Zhengchun, the national teacher, Zhuge Zhengme, Yijian Piaohong and others, the emperor of the aging dragon finally appeared.
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" Up and down the sword worship platform, after seeing the emperor appear, everyone knelt down at the same time and bowed to the emperor.
The Emperor glanced at his subjects, and a hint of obsession flashed in his eyes: This is my subjects, this is the joy of being an emperor!
From today onwards, I will truly live long live long live! (To be continued......)
