Chapter 448: Who's the Loser
Of course, there are also people in the main hall who have different opinions. A minister with three strands of beard and a weak face said in horror.
His words were echoed by many ministers. They talked one after another, probably intending to agree to the request of the ancient powerhouse and give in to them.
Zheng Lao was angry and argued with the ministers. Zhao Kui's face was a little ugly, but he didn't expect the situation to be completely opposite to their guess, not many people supported Zheng Lao's opinion, but supported surrender.
I watched with a cold eye, and my heart sneered. The three kingdoms of Buddhism have always been peaceful, there is no war all year round, they are all afraid of losing their lives, and once the country is broken, it will affect their wealth.
I jerked to my feet and interrupted the conversation.
"Hehe, Shangshu, I heard that your son was happy with his son last month, since you are willing to share the worries of the country, it is better to sacrifice your grandson after surrendering, how about it?"
"How can this be? I have a son on my knees, and I only have this one grandson. He was born cute and intelligent, and he must be the pillar of the country in the future. Shang Shu's face changed when he heard this.
"Li Shilang, I heard that your little girl has grown up, and the ancient powerhouse has an apprentice, and her vain look is overindulgent at first glance, why don't you give him the little girl in exchange for his satisfaction?"
I looked at the other man and sneered.
"It's presumptuous! My daughter is beautiful and has both ability and integrity. How is it possible to play with others at will? Li Shilang was also furious.
"It's ridiculous."
I slammed the table and everyone looked at me in shock.
"A bunch of idiots! Your grandchildren, your daughters are human beings? Are the children of the common people not human? You are willing to surrender, thinking that it is not your interests that you are sacrificing, are you stupid to think that if Zhao surrenders, you can still live as freely as now? What bad luck will never befall you? How could a man who feeds on his life every day and freely promises me wealth be kind to you? At that time, those of you who hold the power and wealth will be the biggest losers! ”
I roared at the ministers, which immediately made many people thunder, their expressions shocked, and they were awakened by me and sat down in their chairs.
Under their imagination, they were all sweating, thinking that they would still be able to enjoy their current status at that time, but after thinking about it carefully, they realized that it was nothing more than wishful thinking! This is not that they are short-sighted and can't think of the pros and cons, but that the authorities are obsessed, and human nature is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and instinctively avoid life and death.
"Jin Xuanzhi's body, you are angry, we also know that we should not surrender, but we can deal with the soldiers of those two countries, but the ancient powerhouse has advanced cultivation and strong ability, and it is not for us to deal with it." The minister, who had proposed to surrender before, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a bitter face.
"As long as you are unwilling to hand over the people of Li Min to the demons, I am willing to help you fight against the ancient powerhouses."
Everyone was shocked, and Zhao Kui, Zheng Lao and others looked at me excitedly. I have nothing to do with Zhao Guo, but for the sake of those ordinary people, I am willing to risk my life and stand by them!
"In a day's time, the two countries will attack, and you get ready." When I finished, I turned and walked away.
"It's really ironic, Zhou Yuan, an outsider, is willing to fight for the people of your Zhao Kingdom, and you natives are actually greedy for life and afraid of death."
With a mocking look on his face, the demon left with me, and couldn't help but shout at the ministers.
When he said a word, many ministers' faces immediately turned red and they were extremely ashamed.
Not long after I left the main hall and returned to the room, Bai Gongzi came to look for me.
After Bai Gongzi came in, he looked at me with a twisted expression, and it seemed that it was difficult to speak. Talk to me.
"Bai Sheng, if you have anything to say, it's better to say it directly." I was a little helpless and spoke.
"Brother Zhou, in fact, I came to you for something. My father admires Brother Zhou very much, and today is just in time for his birthday, and he hopes that you can go to the Bai family for a banquet today. ”
After swallowing for a long time, Bai Gongzi Bai Sheng showed an embarrassed expression, and finally told the truth.
"Actually, Brother Zhou told the truth, my father just wants you to go to the show to show the strength and connections of my Bai family." The more Bai Sheng spoke, the more he blushed, and he seemed to be very guilty.
"It's all my fault, my father is actually not familiar with you, but I said Jin Xuan's body, saying that you are in the palace to turn the tide and save Zhao Guo. After he checked it, he was very tempted, and you told me that if you can invite you to go, it will definitely make our Bai family famous. ”
This Bai Sheng is interesting, he doesn't have any secrets, and he actually says everything in his heart.
I smiled in my heart, and even if he didn't say it, he didn't believe it at all. A rune family patriarch would not look up to a cultivator. This can be seen from the fact that Bai Sheng didn't even know my name before.
They are nothing more than planning to borrow my name, raise the banner of the Bai family, and increase the reputation of the family.
This kind of banquet will be very troublesome, in fact, I don't want to participate in it at all.
"Brother Zhou, I know that you are dedicated to cultivation and have no interest in these, otherwise I will push it away." Bai Sheng saw that I was silent for a long time, and said with some shame. "I know I've been busy lately, and I'm sorry to bother you this time. Actually, I don't really like these scenes. ”
Bai Sheng said this, got up and prepared to leave. But I could tell that he was visibly disappointed. Before he came, he had actually been given a military order by his father, only success and not failure, and if I didn't go, he would have to be punished.
I sighed and stopped Bai Sheng.
"No, I'll go." My words made Bai Sheng's face look pleasantly surprised.
"Brother Zhou, are you serious?"
"Your father's birthday is gratifying. In that case, I will definitely go. ”
I also smiled faintly after listening to it, if Bai Sheng didn't tell me the truth, I might be bored, but he was so honest, obviously regarded me as a friend, and didn't hide it from me, which made me feel comfortable.
I didn't know his father, and I didn't have any contact. But for Bai Sheng's sake, it doesn't hurt to go for a trip.
"You call me eldest brother, you are my younger brother, your father's birthday, how can eldest brother not go?"
Bai Sheng's face turned red when I said this, and there were traces of moistness in his eyes.
"Brother Bai, I know you're doing this for me."
He was so excited, he was worried before he came, he thought he was only 20% sure, and he was even more desperate when he saw that I was silent, but he didn't want me to go in the end.
"Brother Zhou, I heard Saiyang say that you are looking for Monk Jiguang to practice runes." Bai Sheng wiped his eyes and spoke excitedly.
My eyes were slightly condensed, and Bai Sheng asked me what I was doing here?
"I went home these days to ask for instructions, and my father sent a message to the ancestor in retreat, and today the ancestor finally responded."
Bai Gongzi's face was excited, which made my heart move.
"He said that he would break through the barrier tomorrow, and promised to teach Brother Zhou your rune technique."
I know that the Bai family is a rune family, and his family's ancestor rune art is even more famous in the Three Kingdoms of Buddhism.
Ji Guang's whereabouts are uncertain, although Zhao Kui will get the latest news from the spies every day, but he can't determine the specific location.
What I lack most now is time, and if I can learn the art of runes from the Bai family ancestor, it will also be a good choice.
It just makes me wonder why Bai Sheng is only saying it now.
"Why are you telling me now?" I was a little surprised.
"Actually, before leaving, my father instructed me to tell you about my ancestor first, and then say birthday wishes. But I think doing so is tantamount to blackmailing you, you are someone I admire, and I don't want to do that. Bai Sheng spoke with a firm gaze. Then he saluted me and left the palace.
This kid is quite interesting. I smiled slightly, and my feelings for Bai Sheng were slowly changing.
In fact, at the beginning, Bai Sheng threatened to keep me away from Saiyang, and even almost made a move, and I didn't have any good feelings for him. But after getting in touch all the way, I found that in addition to being infatuated with Saiyang, and even a little sensitive, the whole person is not bad in nature. And think about it, people are in the restlessness of youth, and they care too much about what they love, how can they not be sensitive and walk on thin ice.
After agreeing on the time, Bai Sheng retired and left with joy on his face.
The Bai family's birthday banquet is scheduled for noon, and I still plan to spend the rest of the time in cultivation.
In the room, I sat cross-legged on the couch, and in front of me, a drop of essence blood was suspended in layers.
During the battle with the young man in white, I broke the purple tripod and obtained a drop of the essence blood of the ancient powerhouse, which means that I have the key to crack more golden pages.
