"No, I can hold on a little longer," Luo Chuan waved his hand, signaling Princess Zhaoning not to worry about him, "This information is very important to us, even if I fight hard, I will-"

However, before he finished speaking, he suddenly snorted in pain, covered his head and sat on the ground, completely losing his former graceful demeanor as a saint powerhouse.

Blood oozed from the corners of his mouth, wetting the spotless crane cloud.

The light on the bronze mirror flickered violently a few times, then quickly extinguished, returning to its old, dim, and unremarkable appearance.

Seeing this scene, Princess Zhaoning was startled and immediately bent down and reached out to support him.

The Great Qi National Master next to him was also shocked.

He knew that after being promoted to the realm of the True Monarch, Zhao Changying's strength was terrifying, and he was able to defeat Luo Chuan in front of the palace gate with one move, making his True Yuan backfire and unconscious.

But he didn't expect that Zhao Changying would still be able to hinder Luo Chuan's snooping at the level of fate - you must know that in everyone's cognition, Luo Chuan is the ceiling of the Great Qi Dynasty's heavenly deduction technique, and Zhao Changying is a vulgar martial artist who wields a gun and a stick.

"It seems that what Luo Chuan said is right," he thought to himself silently, "If you want to completely eliminate these anti-thieves, you can only wait until the emperor comes out."

"What we can do now is to hold them back and let their internal contradictions gradually ferment, but we must not use too much force to cause them to fight back.

"A true monarch and strong man who is completely out of the way, except for the emperor, I'm afraid no one can stop him."

At the same time, he took out an elixir from the space magic weapon to heal injuries and replenish true yuan, and stuffed it into Luo Chuan's mouth.

Luo Chuan's face finally recovered slightly.

In the shadows that others could not notice, an imperceptible smile appeared on his face.

He knew that his "performance" today had successfully bought the emperor a lot of time to accumulate strength.

He had witnessed the emperor's dominance and invincibility in the upper realm.

Therefore, he believed that time was always on the emperor's side.

He was extremely looking forward to the day when the emperor truly regained his former strength, how the world would react.

…………

The anti-thief army led by Gu Xu, with the help of a saint and a true monarch, captured six cities on the northwest border in one day, which soon caused a strong sensation within the entire Great Qi Dynasty.

In peacetime, for the vast majority of ordinary people in Daqi, the stories of cultivators are often wonderful, distant, and longing, serving as a topic of conversation after dinner, just like people in Gu Xu's previous life liked to discuss news in the entertainment industry.

A young monk like Gu Xu, who has both appearance and talent, and has made many big news in less than a year of cultivation, is undoubtedly the object of their heated discussion.

Since Gu Xu solved the case of the Lu family's murderous house, prevented the promotion ceremony of the Kongxuansan people, and made a splash in the Lantern Festival Ring Competition, he has had a lot of "fans" across the country-

Most of these people are secondary two teenagers who yearn for the extraordinary and have heroic dreams. They substituted fantasy into Gu Xu's life experience, and even imitated him in dressing, in order to escape the boredom of reality.

And after Gu Xu became a wanted criminal for committing treason, the group quickly split into two factions.

One of the factions was annoyed and angry by the collapse of the idol, and was indignant that they had been deceived by Gu Xu's perfect appearance in disguise; They gathered together and in the name of the country and the great good, they attacked him and cursed him.

The other group firmly believes that how can a hero who once saved thousands of people from danger suddenly commit treason in collusion with ghosts for his own selfish interests?

There must be grievances in this.

As a result, the two factions quarreled day and night, but neither could convince anyone.

But no matter which school it is, in the final analysis, it is all about having fun in the boring reality.

Just like the news on the entertainment page, no matter how thrilling it is, it will not make the slightest wave in the lives of ordinary people.

Until recently.

Gu Xu has really become a genuine and undoubted thief.

Under the banner of the silver dragon on a black background, tens of thousands of paper armies broke through the impregnable border defense line of the Great Qi Dynasty for hundreds of years, and also tore apart the peaceful life of the Qi people.

Gu Xu's supporters and critics were silent at this moment.

Because, when a new star on the entertainment page suddenly appears on the current political news with a sensational attitude and becomes a big figure who affects the situation in the world, then he is no longer the object of praise and criticism at will.

Every decision he makes, every move, may cause turbulence in the daily life of ordinary people.

But the more shocking thing is yet to come-

A few days after Gu Xu captured the six border cities, an envoy from the Sacred Mountain of the Grassland, led by the former Khan Altan, came to Liangzhou City, presented a crown and a gorgeous robe to Gu Xu, and announced its submission.

They called Gu Xu "the destiny of heaven" and "the god of the world", believing that he would dominate the world and bring glory and glory to the people of the grassland.

This news shook the government and the opposition in Daqi.

For hundreds of years, the barbarians of the northwest grasslands have been a hard bone that the Great Qi Dynasty has struggled to gnaw on.

Daqi has a strong foundation and can always have the upper hand in the confrontation, but these barbarians are like weeds in the wilderness, wildfires are inexhaustible, and spring breezes blow and regenerate.

Sacred Mountain, Shaman, Wolf God, Bone Scepter...... It is the spark that keeps the grassland alive.

In this era when the emperors of the Great Qi tended to be conservative and stable under the influence of the "Tai'a Sword", and only wanted to be a "jailer" and were unwilling to forge ahead, the grassland barbarians continued to multiply and grow, which became a big trouble for the military and civilians on the northwest border of the Great Qi for a long time.

The Great Qi court also thought of using peaceful means to recruit this group of barbarians.

But the belief in the "wolf god" gave the grassland people an unimaginable bloodiness - no matter how good the conditions or how big the threat was given by the Great Qi Dynasty, they were unwilling to submit to the knees.

However, recently, this problem that the Great Qi Dynasty could not cope with was solved by Gu Xu without much effort.

The grassland people never recognized the orthodox status of the Great Qi Emperor in the Great Wilderness, but they were willing to serve Gu Xu, a rebellious minister and thief, as the monarch.

Such a distinction made the courtiers of Great Qi deeply angry.

They have always looked down on the steppe people, calling them "vulgar barbarians".

But when they found out that this group of steppe people also looked down on them, they couldn't hold their breath......

…………

At this moment, in the prefect's yamen of Liangzhou City, Gu Xu stood in front of a huge map and pondered.

His gaze was calm and focused, like the vast night sky, encompassing the great wilderness.

A bloated monk walked up to him and said with a restrained and respectful attitude, "Master Gu...... No, Emperor, you told us that these steppe people had already taken refuge in you.

"You have such a powerful force, but why do you have to spend so much effort to draw so many paper figures to capture the city?"
