Chapter 114: Unpaid ambition, no daring to die
The huge royal city, I don't know when it was covered with clouds, the color of the walls also accumulated, the red wall became a dark red, as if it was dried and deteriorated blood, and the ancient wood did not pull out a new leaf, or it fell clean, without a little bright color.
The bustling streets, from which almost no one walks through. The sound of the wind has also become a timid mouse, not daring to whist, holding its breath and passing quietly. Everywhere there was silence, like a tomb with the living.
The people in the imperial city changed into dark black clothes from some point to time, bowed their heads, hurried by, and nodded to each other when they met acquaintances, without saying anything. If there were a few people gathered, they would also look around vigilantly, whisper in a low voice, show worry on their faces, and disperse in a hurry.
In the empty palace, all the decorations have been moved, and even the gold paper engraved on the pillars has not been left, only a few long black veils remain, which flutter with the breeze, and are particularly secluded.
Above the eighty-first steps, the nine-foot throne has lost its former luster, and now only a tall and thin middle-aged man is left, sitting on it, without the majesty of the past.
He was just over 100 years old, his temples had grown a lot of gray hair, the beard on his chin was extremely dry, like dry grass in winter, his cheeks were seriously sunken, and his cheeks were obviously like stone carvings, like a prisoner who had been exiled for half his life.
In just two years, the dynasty fell apart, and everything happened so quickly that no one could react. Lonely Fengchen has been in the shadow of swords and swords all his life, from a young age to the heir, leveling the eight kings, conquering the desert in the north, and achieving a hegemony.
Gu Fengchen paced slowly in the palace, thinking about the current predicament.
Even at this time, he still surpassed the Divine Hidden Realm, but he did not dare to fight again. besieged Li Yat-sen and broke the cottage, every time it was a serious injury involving the foundation. If there was a god hidden realm with an artifact to attack and kill, he would feel powerless now.
Chengtian Dynasty, now only he is the main beam, and there is no successor. If he falls, the Chengtian Dynasty will completely collapse. Before he finds a qualified junior, he has to do everything he can to keep himself alive.
Retreating bravely from the rapids and not fighting when the heroes are rising together is undoubtedly the most correct choice. The tiger stands in the wolf pack and will be the first to be killed. And now, although the strength of the dynasty has been greatly damaged, it still has a foundation, and it may not be impossible to regain it. He needs to lie down and continue to endure it.
The old chamberlain walked in with a plate and said, "Your Majesty, the silver snow fish caught from Damengze has just turned three hundred years, you can taste it." ”
"Got it, put it there. ”
"Your Majesty!" the old chamberlain's voice suddenly trembled, the corners of his eyes were already full of tears, and he choked up and said: "Your Majesty, please respect yourself! If you fall, our dynasty will really be over!"
Gu Fengchen's body trembled, turned to look at the old chamberlain, mourned in his heart, and said, "Elder Wei, how many years have you followed Gu. ”
"Returning to the king, the minister followed the king when he was thirteen years old, and it has been one hundred and twenty years now. ”
"One hundred and twenty years, time flies really fast!"
"The monarch is in the prime of life, why should he sigh? How stable the throne of the great prince was back then, the government and the opposition were full of their power, and many princes were in danger, pretending to be crazy and stupid and not knowing the geometry, and the monarch had not grown up step by step, under layers of pressure, and finally became the monarch of our Chengtian? Jing Nan's banner, invaded the imperial city, took advantage of your fledgling, planned to get rid of you, and jointly carve up our Chengtian Dynasty, at that time, Prince Wei suddenly rebelled, and put you to the Jedi, with only eighteen horsemen left around him, how difficult was it at that time?
The old chamberlain was already crying as he spoke, and all the things that had happened appeared in front of him, how high-spirited the king at that time was, with a wide mind, and a vision of the world, but now, I didn't expect it to be such a situation.
"Your Majesty! We have survived so many hardships, but now this little tribulation, what is the matter? What kind of setbacks can make us lower our heads? Your Majesty, you are the Emperor of the Chengtian Dynasty! Why are you hesitant and depressed all day long? Your Majesty, our Chengtian Dynasty is not finished yet! Even if there is only one old minister left, I am willing to go to the soup and fire for you in this life until death!"
Countless emotions welled up in Gu Fengchen's heart, and a few tears appeared in his eyes.
Once upon a time, the hall was full of fierce generals, countless capable people, and the princes all had great talents, talking about state affairs like a market outside the city, working together, fighting for red ears and red ears, and conspiring for hegemony. It is as rich as a summer tree and withered as an autumn tree. Now in the entire hall, there is only one old chamberlain left!
With mixed flavors in his heart, Gu Fengchen closed his eyes, suppressed all his emotions, and suddenly opened his eyes, and the momentum of dominating the world was restored!
The old chamberlain knelt down with a puff and shouted: "The king is the first emperor of the ages!"
Gu Fengchen regained his self-confidence and ambition, he is now only 100 years old, with his cultivation, even if he has countless injuries and illnesses, and no longer makes progress in this life, he can still survive for 500 years!
What's more, he is only temporarily forbearing, and he really has no strength in his hands! Such a setback is not a great opportunity to rise again! He was able to start from scratch before, and now he can make a comeback!
"Elder Wei, don't worry, Lone is not old, Lonely's heart is not sinking, and rest assured, in less than ten years, Lone is bound to recover the Chengtian Dynasty!
"The minister swears allegiance to the king!" the old servant was full of tears, but he was full of joy. As long as the king does not fall, then the dynasty will not fall, and the Chengtian Dynasty will always exist!
"Elder Wei, this is the key to the national treasure of this dynasty, you take it first, just in case. ”
"The old minister didn't dare to take on this important task. ”
"Elder Wei, who else can take on it besides you?"
The old chamberlain knelt down again, kowtowed three times, and said, "The old minister will definitely live up to the trust!"
A smile appeared on Gu Fengchen's thin cheeks, and he said: "Elder Wei, step back first, Gu has to think about some things by himself, in addition, start to contact those who are still loyal, Gu already has a plan, we will discuss it carefully tomorrow." ”
"Obey the Holy Commandment!"
Gu Fengchen looked at the empty hall, his eyes condensed, as if he could look out of this gloomy royal city, and look at the Eastern Immortal Domain of the battle.
"Ambition has not been rewarded, and I have not dared to die!"
Gu Fengchen flicked the long sword in his hand, but suddenly raised his head, his eyes suddenly sharpened.
