"Zhou Sen, I have something to ask for!" General Wu Yuan looked at Zhou Sen with a solemn expression.

"General, please!"

Zhou Sen sat upright, with a solemn expression, he knew very well that if a person with the status of General Wuyuan asked for something, it would definitely be an earth-shattering event.

"Protect the little emperor!" General Wu Yuan's cloudy gaze became incomparably deep.

"Protect the little emperor."

Zhou Sen's mouth was half open, his expression frozen, he didn't expect that what General Wuyuan wanted was actually to protect the little emperor, which he didn't expect.

Zhou Sen thought of countless possibilities, but he didn't expect that General Wu Yuan would throw the hot potato of the little emperor to him, because, a long time ago, he had told General Wu Yuan that he had no intention of going to the temple.

Looking at Zhou Sen's surprised expression, General Wu Yuan was not surprised, just looked at Zhou Sen quietly and did not speak.

There was a long silence.

The whole room was extremely quiet, and the heartbeats of the two could almost be heard.

"I'm ......," Zhou Sen finally spoke.

"I have no one to entrust." General Wu Yuan's face is heroic and twilight.

"General, I will do my best to defeat the Crusaders, but I really don't have the extra energy to protect the little emperor." Zhou Sen put down the cup in his hand and refused very clearly, he knew very well that once he took over this hot potato, his life would be over.

"No, I don't care if the Han Empire is down, I only care about the little emperor, at the beginning, the first emperor entrusted the little emperor to me......" General Wu Yuan's face showed a rare trace of sadness and loneliness.

“……”

Zhou Sen opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything after all.

At this moment, Zhou Sen remembered that when he was thrown into Mogan Prison, he was as helpless as the little emperor now.

Zhou Sen was cultivating the realm of the royal road of the "Invincible Secret Book", so he naturally understood that what General Wuyuan was worried about was not without purpose.

If General Wu Yuan really lives soon, then it is foreseeable that even if the Han Empire begins to turn defeat into victory, but, because of the death of General Wu Yuan, there will definitely be large-scale turmoil.

When the Han Empire is shaken, some people's eyes will fall on the little emperor, because only by killing the little emperor can they rightfully sit on the throne......

……

If Zhou Sen can always be loyal to the little emperor, the little emperor will naturally have no worries about his life, after all, Zhou Sen's influence is no longer inferior to General Wu Yuan, but the problem is that Zhou Sen has never thought about leading troops to fight, and after the situation is stable, Zhou Sen will retire successfully.

Many things, in fact, can be predicted, as soon as General Wuyuan dies and Zhou Sen retires, then, among the soldiers of the Han Empire, there is only one of the four gods left, and the four gods are only the golden gourd gods, and the power of the golden gourd gods alone is not enough to suppress the world's heroes.

With the addition of a reckless axe, it may be possible.

Thinking of Lu Axe, Zhou Sen's heart moved, and after the banquet was over, Lu Axe hurriedly left Wuchao City and rushed to the Tanburg Barracks, where he made an appointment with Zhou Sen to see him at the Tanburgh Barracks.

Suddenly, Zhou Sen had an ominous premonition.

Why did Lu Axe rush to the Tanburg barracks overnight?

If it is ordinary, it is understandable that Lu Axe rushed to the Tanburg Barracks, after all, Lu Axe is a very responsible soldier, but Zhou Sen is now in Wuchao City, and Lu Axe's departure is a little weird.

Hold your own troops!

Zhou Sen had already passed the realm of wisdom, and between the lightning of his mind, almost in an instant, Zhou Sen thought of countless possibilities and finally decided.

Inexplicably, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Sen's mouth.

If the loyal Lu Axe has different intentions, then, in this world, those who want to take advantage of the situation to change the dynasty are probably like carp crossing the river.

At the same time, Zhou Sen understood why General Wu Yuan only wanted him to protect the life of the little emperor, not the great country of the Han Empire, obviously, General Wu Yuan also realized that the general background, the general trend and the general trend have been irreversible by manpower, and even, he thinks, even Zhou Sen cannot turn the tide.

The rise and fall of a dynasty has its inevitable development, the Han Empire has long been decayed to the roots, and has been able to stand tall because of the support of General Wu Yuan, but General Wu Yuan is just a soldier in the end, the building will fall, it is difficult to support alone, when there is the intervention of the external force of the crusaders, the huge Han Empire collapsed.

It is easy for a country to fall, but it is difficult to build it, just as it is easy to break porcelain and difficult to repair.

After the Battle of Red Bull, the situation of the Han Empire has taken a turn for the better, in the tragic war, there will be countless strong men who have experienced the baptism of war and blood, when the situation of the Han Empire is stable, those strong men will definitely not be willing to hand over the power in their hands, once that time, the Han Empire will fall into an endless civil war, the smoke is everywhere, and the coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes will become the goal of everyone......

……

Suddenly.

Zhou Sen looked at General Wu Yuan, his gaze becoming more and more solemn.

"Zhou Sen, I really have no one to ask for." General Wu Yuan coughed violently, and his originally pale face turned a strange blood red.

If an outsider saw it at this time, it would be shocked, no one could have imagined that the powerful General Wuyuan would actually ask for help in such a low voice.

"I need to think about it." Zhou Sen stood up.

General Wu Yuan did not speak, and got up to see off the guests.

Zhou Sen left General Wuyuan's mansion, glanced at Cai Ping Xiao Yi and the others who were standing outside on guard, and felt a little moved in his heart, you know, now they are all well-known figures, but they are willing to wait for him in this cold night, and it goes without saying that they attach importance to it.

"General, General Lu is waiting for you at the Tanburgh Barracks." Cai Ping glanced at General Wuyuan's mansion and said in a low voice.

"He told me to go now?" Zhou Sen was stunned.

"Yes, General."

"Hmm."

Zhou Sen didn't ask much, turned over and went out of the city.

Just when Zhou Sen was out of the city, General Wu Yuan and the Golden Melon Heavenly God stood on top of the city, like two lifeless sculptures.

It wasn't until Zhou Sen's long-haired back completely disappeared into the night that the golden gourd god spoke.

"General, will Zhou Sen have the same dissent as Lu Axe?" The Golden Gourd God asked expressionlessly.

"No, it won't." General Wu Yuan's cloudy gaze revealed a sense of wisdom.

"Are we going to let General Lu ......?"

"Lu Axe is Zhou Sen's person, if he has any ideas, he will definitely tell Zhou Sen, remember, before the situation is clear, don't move General Lu, if General Lu has any three strengths and two weaknesses, if you want to convince Zhou Sen, it will be difficult to reach the sky."

"What if Zhou Sen has a different heart?" The golden gourd god said word by word.

"He won't have a different heart." General Wu Yuan shook his head affirmatively.

"But ......"

"Remember, Zhou Sen's current identity is not trivial, he is not only a hero of the Han Empire, behind him, there is also the support of the entire Xiongnu clan, if he dies, the hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu troops will immediately turn against each other."

"Humble duty understands." The golden gourd god bowed slightly.

"Let's go, it's cold......"

General Wu Yuan looked up at the vast stars, sighed, and slowly walked down the city wall.

Tenburgh Barracks.

When Zhou Sen galloped all the way to the city of the Tanburg Barracks, the gate of the Tanburg Barracks was opened, the lights were bright, and the Lu axe in military uniform stood in front of the city gate, and the majestic body was like a mountain, majestic.

The battle at the Tankburgh Barracks had been over for a few days, but the majestic walls were full of traces of war, huge bricks were incomplete, and in the wasteland outside the city, the mountains were full of ruined fortifications and broken armor, and in one place, a raging fire was burning, presumably burning corpses, and the air was filled with a scorching and disgusting smell.

Zhou Sen just glanced at it, and he could guess how tragic the battle situation of the Tangbao Barracks was at the beginning.

Five hundred heavily armored soldiers.

Forty super strong.

Fifty thousand Imperial infantry.

Such a force, without the aid of any heavy equipment, to conquer a majestic and impregnable wall, one can imagine how heavy the price to pay is.

It's just that for more than a year, Lu Axe's originally honest and simple face has a touch of stability and maturity, and his strong body in armor makes people feel an inexplicable trust.

Obviously, Lu Axe has not had a good time in the past year or so.

Under the reverent gaze of thousands of people in the Tanburg barracks, Zhou Sen was welcomed into the city gate.

The soldiers of the Tanburg Barracks all know that Zhou Sen and Lu Axe, although they are not brothers, they have the general affection of brothers, as the so-called love house and Wu, the Tanburg Barracks regard Zhou Sen as their own people, not to mention, Zhou Sen's momentum in the Han Empire is like the sky, and he is the idol of all soldiers.

There was no politeness, Lu Axe took Zhou Sen to the secret room, including Cai Ping, Xiao Yi, Wu Mazi and others.

Looking at the tacit understanding between Lu Axe and Cai Ping, Zhou Sen couldn't help nodding secretly, he didn't expect that Lu Axe would be so close to them.

In fact, Zhou Sen didn't know that the military in the Han Empire, except for General Wu Yuan, had been divided into many factions, and he represented a new force with no background.

With Zhou Sen as the representative of the faction, it is mainly a group of generals who were promoted during the battle with the Huns, and these people all regard Zhou Sen as the spiritual leader, and they usually take care of each other and get very close, intentionally or unintentionally.

Only after the defeat of the Han Empire to Wuchao City, Zhou Sen's faction has already had a pivotal position in the military, among them, in addition to Lu Axe, Cai Ping Xiao Yi and Wu Mazi and Crazy Taoist Priests and others have all become independent generals, even the Golden Melon Heavenly God, they have to give enough face.

The influence of Lu Axe's ability to lead 50,000 cavalry to attack the Tanburgh barracks without any authorization is evident......

……

Inside the secret room, the lights are bright.

The people sat down in turn.

"Zhou Sen, my soldiers and horses in the Tanbao barracks have been replenished to more than 50,000, and the soldiers and horses that you brothers can mobilize in Wuchao City are about 30,000, plus 150,000 Hun cavalry, as long as you raise the rod, you will immediately gather from the followers......" Lu Axe's leopard eyes shot a fanatical gaze.

"You want to be emperor?" Zhou Sen looked at Lu Axe lightly.

"Ah...... No, no...... It's not me ......" Lu Axe's face suddenly turned blood red, and he shook his head again and again: "I mean you ......"

"How do you know I want to be emperor?" Zhou Sen was unfazed.

“……”

Lu Axe opened his mouth wide, looking at Zhou Sen with a stunned expression, Zhou Sen's words and calm expression were like a basin of cold water poured head-on.

"General, now is the right time and place, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity......" Cai Ping tried to convince Zhou Sen.

"Yes, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Zhou Sen nodded.

"Yes, yes, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

When everyone saw Zhou Sen nodding, they were overjoyed one by one.

"The question is, what's so good about being an emperor?" Zhou Sen sighed.

"Ah......h

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to answer the question.

“…… When you become the emperor, the whole world is your ......" Lu Axe racked his brains and thought for a long time, expecting Ai Ai Dao.

"It's true that the whole world is yours, but governing the country is not such a fun thing. You have to cling to power, learn to conspire at all times, and be careful that if you lose, you will die. There are few people in court politics who are normal, eunuchs, queen mothers, queens, and princes revolve around you all the time, but if you are the kind of person who is more likely to mix up, some of the surrounding nomads are always thinking about attacking, and you have to bear the responsibility of the leader. ”

Zhou Sen took a sip of tea and paused.

"If you say that you can do whatever you want to be an emperor, eat, drink, and have fun with women, spend money like dirt, and kill whoever you want, you are indeed happy in life, but after death, the infamy is rolling, unless you don't care, this is actually not much different from being a rich man, and being a rich man doesn't have to worry about what coup d'état endangers life, it is safer to enjoy it, and the sense of happiness may be higher."

"If you want to be a wise man, then you can't do what you want, you have to restrain yourself, and sometimes you have to be aggrieved in order to achieve great achievements, but what about great achievements? Dead is not a handful of loess? Won't the great achievements have to be wiped out? The only thing you can look forward to is that your deeds will be praised for thousands of years, but the way of praise for thousands of years is not only one way for the emperor, with noble character, writing books and sayings, cultivating gods and eternal life, all of which can be praised for thousands of years, isn't it the same way? So what's so special about being an emperor? ”

“……”

Everyone looked at each other and fell silent for a while.

"If you can afford my Zhou Sen, and want to live a happy life with me Zhou Sen, I Zhou Sen can realize your dreams at any time. If you want to go down in history with me Zhou Sen, it's even better, now the war is in chaos, as long as you fight bravely to kill the enemy, sacrifice your life for righteousness, in the history books, you will record your great achievements, and it is not a problem for the descendants of Fuyin to be born from generation to generation. ”

"If you think it's not enough to be rich and famous, okay, follow me Zhou Sen to cultivate gods, I will take you to see the vastness and breadth of the world of god cultivation, as long as you work hard to cultivate, even if you can't become an immortal, it won't be a problem to live for hundreds of years......"

"But ......"

"Hehe, I know, you are soldiers, soldiers, you want to die in battle, this is no problem, then what kind of bullshit since the crusaders of the Heavenly Kingdom have bullied the territory of our Han Empire, then, I will fight back, annex them, and let them bow down to their ......"

……

There was silence.

Of course, Zhou Sen did not convince them, but they did not know how to refute them.

"Zhou Sen, I'm just unwilling!"

Lu Axe looked aggrieved.

Zhou Sen didn't know the grievances suffered by Lu Axe in the past year, because, from beginning to end, Lu Axe was the main battle faction, when he was in the imperial capital, Lu Axe was squeezed out and suppressed by hundreds of civil and military officials, and even was deprived of military power for a time.

In the past year or so, Lu Axe endured humiliation and suffered a lot of white eyes, which made him completely see through the decay of the Han Empire, and it was precisely for this reason that the loyal and honest Lu Axe who was silent and silent rose up with a heart of betrayal.

Of course, Lu Axe was not the first to rise up the heart of betrayal, it was Cai Ping's group of people who wanted to rebel, because, at the beginning, Cai Ping's group of people were transferred to the imperial capital, and at the beginning, they were also reused, and later, they were gradually squeezed out by some children of the family, and they were arranged to be idle one after another, so that a group of hot-blooded men wanted to die.

The experience of the imperial capital made everyone understand that no matter how immortal feats they made, among those royal relatives and nobles, they were all unpopular characters, and sometimes, they would be allowed to perform the art of riding and archery in front of hundreds of young masters, and their status was no different from that of clowns.

In the Han Empire, the real rulers were some eunuchs, especially when the emperor did not die, the chaos of the government, even the powerful general Wuyuan was often impeached by some treacherous people, and the suppression of some loyal ministers and good generals can be seen.

This crusade invasion completely exposed the corruption of the Han Empire, which also completely disappointed many conscientious military generals, especially a group of new generation generals who sacrificed their lives for righteousness, began to have the heart of rebellion......

……

"Unwilling to ......" Zhou Sen was stunned for a moment, and said: "Axe, although I don't know what grievances you have suffered, but, above the court, that's it, this is why I have never wanted to be an official." ”

"Zhou Sen, you can change it."

"Well, I believe I can change, but what about my descendants? Do you want my descendants to be overthrown? A dynasty cannot exist forever, and in the Gods and Demons Continent, the Han Empire is not the first country, nor is it the last...... Unless ......"

Zhou Sen stopped abruptly and stood up.

"Unless what?"

Looking at the excitement on Zhou Sen's face, Lu Axe and the generals showed a trace of incomprehension.

"I have a solution!" Zhou Sen laughed.

"What's the solution?" Lu Axe asked curiously.

"We can raise the emperor!" Zhou Sen clenched his fists, the long hair on his head was windless, and his eyes were extremely deep, like the vast starry sky.

At this time, Zhou Sen couldn't wait to look up to the sky and howl to vent his inner happiness, because he just remembered the British political system on the ancient earth, if the British system was cloned into the Han Empire, then there would be no need to worry about the safety of the little emperor, and all social contradictions would be solved.

"Raise the emperor? Aren't we raising an emperor now? ”

"No, it's different, I'm talking about raising the emperor as a symbolic being, he can represent the dignity of a country, but he doesn't need to run the country, it's called a constitutional monarchy......"

"The emperor doesn't care about the country, who cares?"

Naturally, everyone didn't understand the set of political concepts on the ancient earth, and they were confused one by one.

"Hehe, it's hard to explain this for a while, anyway, we have time, and we'll figure it out slowly in the future."

"Oh......"

Everyone looked at each other and didn't know what to do, but everyone had realized that Zhou Sen had already made a decision, and it was useless to say more.
