Unsheathed Sword Chapter 85: A twist and turn of the water play, and there is no righteousness in the clouds
The two Prime Minister Liu and Cao Yushi of the Great Yu Kingdom saw that the battle outside seemed to have stopped, so they walked out of Lin Hongzhi's small room. Along with them, there was also the old Taoist priest of the Seven Realms who had renewed the emperor's life and the young man who had been by his side.
Of course, that old Taoist priest of the Seven Realms was now an ordinary person.
The old Taoist priest's cultivation has gone, and he is already old at this time, and he suddenly no longer has the spirit he had before, like an old man who is dying.
Qi Chaoshu asked, "How is it?" ”
The old Taoist priest coughed twice, and replied weakly: "It's done, and the emperor has at least five years to live." ”
A gleam flashed in Qi Chaoshu's eyes.
But the young man's face was still not angry, and he said to Qi Chaoshu: "My husband's cultivation has also been given to the emperor, and the previous promise must be fulfilled!" ”
Qi Chaoshu replied casually: "That's nature. Our royal family is not the one who will deceive you, and what we promise you will definitely do. Soon we will send an order to the Wind and Fire Gate, and they will not dare to make things difficult for you again. There are also some Dharma and elixir talismans in the palace's collection, and you can all take some of them. As long as it's not too precious, it's fine. ”
The old Taoist priest said, "Then thank you Sect Master Qi." ”
Qi Chaoshu said: "Since this matter has passed without danger, then everyone deserves it, and you don't have to be constrained by the palace, you can go wherever you want." However, if you want to see the emperor's celebration in the next few days, Xingqing also welcomes you to stay. ”
The old Taoist priest naturally knew that these kind words were unbelievable, so he smiled and said: "Then there is no need, this matter must be done to hide people's eyes, the fewer people who know, the better, I will not add to the chaos, and I will return to the mountain gate in two days, I hope that I and Sect Master Qi can meet each other in the future." ”
Qi Chaoshu smiled a little unnaturally.
The old Taoist priest and the man who followed him retired, leaving Prime Minister Liu and Cao Yushi behind.
Prime Minister Liu was obviously apprehensive about the attack of the big demon before, and asked, "That big demon is undoubtedly gone, right?" ”
Qi Chaoshu nodded.
Prime Minister Liu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Alas, what we have done in this matter is still not reliable enough, I thought it was already very secret, but it was still known by the Demon Sect, it seems that the court is still not peaceful." ”
Cao Yushi also agreed: "Yes, the population is difficult to prevent, and we must strengthen our vigilance after this time." However, these demon clans are also too strong, and the combat power of this big demon is about how many troops can it resist? I'm afraid that no matter how many troops come, it will be useless. After seeing such a scene, I really didn't know how to worry about the big war in a few years. ”
Prime Minister Liu comforted a few words: "This time, it was the Demon Sect that took it by surprise, so there would be such a momentum." Speaking of which, such a big demon of the Nine Realms has a high status in the demon clan, and he won't make a move casually. Even if we make a move, we will definitely have a great monk to block it. Judging from the war records hundreds of years ago, the demon clan's siege of the city mainly relied on the number of low-level demon clans, and proper training and command of the army was the key to victory or defeat. ”
Qi Chaoshu said: "Prime Minister Liu is right. The emperor is a rare virtuous monarch, General Mao Xuefeng is not only proficient in general strategy, but also a martial artist in the Eight Realms, I think the future battle is not impossible to fight! ”
Cao Yushi was also a little excited by these words, and said continuously: "Okay...... That's right, I'm pessimistic. As long as we work together, we will win! ”
Qi Chaoshu smiled.
The key to the war is, of course, the war between the lower-level demon clan and the army, but ......
If you want to have an army to resist the demon clan, you must also have an army. With the strength of the four countries of Fuyao Continent in the east, the troops gathered in the south by that day must be at least five million people.
Million...... Qi Chaoshu just thought about it, and he would feel how shocking that scene would be.
Five million people died together.
Prime Minister Liu and Cao Yushi continued to say some words of encouragement, and their hearts couldn't help but stir, but Qi Chaoshu was not in the mood to listen.
He used to wonder if his choice was right or wrong, but now, he doesn't doubt anymore. The wood is already in the boat, and no matter how much doubt there is, it is useless, only to be pushed forward step by step by reality.
Now, he has no choice.
In that room, Lin Hongzhi was lying on the couch, but he opened his eyes, looked in the direction of Qi Chaoshu and Liu Cao, and smiled mockingly.
After Prime Minister Liu and Cao Yushi continued to say some words to each other, they were still relieved that Lin Hongzhi was still relieved, so they continued to guard Lin Hongzhi in the house, while Qi Chaoshu left under the pretext of recuperating from his injuries.
Qi Chaoshu walked down in the night, turned a remote corner of the palace, and stopped.
He tapped the wall tiles twice, and then a man in black came out of the darkness.
Qi Chaoshu said coldly: "Go and kill that child, go now." ”
The man in black was as silent as night, did not ask a word, and once again melted into the darkness to carry out his mission.
Qi Chaoshu sighed secretly in his heart.
Everything was planned, and even Liang Chen didn't see any clues.
This scene is finally over.
……
On an unknown street corner, the shop of oil-paper umbrellas was not put away at night, and the woman in white still did not know where to go, leaving only the woman in black to guard the oil-paper umbrellas alone.
The woman in black still covered her face with a hat, sitting motionless in the corner, looking as if she was asleep.
All the movements in Xingqing City before were seen by her, but she was not the slightest surprised, as if everything was so natural. Even the appearance of the big demon and Liang Chen only made her move slightly, and everything seemed to be in her calculations.
But when the moonlight blinked for the second time, she finally glanced up at the moonlight.
The moonlight flowed, and under the hat was a cheek with a little vicissitudes.
The face of the woman in black was indescribably weird, especially the pair of dark eyes without the whites of the eyes, which were mysterious and abnormal.
These eyes seem to be a piece of nothingness beyond the sky, unable to see any emotion, unable to see any color, but there is a feeling that can make people intoxicated at a glance.
She whispered to herself: "Is this scene over like this?" ”
……
The national teacher Ling Li did not return to the palace tonight, and after going to find Lin Cangyang, he went to the top of Guangrao Mountain along a path at the foot of Guangrao Mountain, and watched the whole process of this Xingqing chaos.
After seeing it, he didn't seem to think it was very interesting, so he went to a temple dedicated to the mountain god of Guangrao Mountain on the top of the mountain.
Before he entered the mahogany carved ancestral temple, he still took off his boots, and then he was dressed properly and entered it. He took one out of the incense box he was offering on one side, lit it, and inserted it into the rusty bronze incense burner in the middle of the statue of the mountain god.
The cigarette smoke was faint, and the smoke diffused, as if it were absent in the night.
What he said to Lin Cangyang before, Lin Cangyang still didn't seem to understand. Ling Li doesn't blame her, in this world, except for a few people from the Demon Sect, it seems that he knows what happened in Xingqing tonight.
Starting from a correct fact, as long as the process is good, you can get a correct result. But what if something that seemed right to everyone all along was just a hoax from start to finish? Wouldn't everyone be deceived?
Ling Li felt that he had already calculated a lot of things, and tonight's events made him even more convinced of his terrible inference.
If that's the case, he'll have to bury the thread carefully in the days to come.
He felt that this should be the most magnificent thing he could do in his life, presumably many cultivators of the Nine Realms and even the Ten Realms would never have the opportunity to do such a thing in their lifetime.
is related to the survival of the entire Dongfu Shake Continent, and it will be in his thoughts.
He could have had more choices, such as telling Lu Zijin about this, or Deng Zhiyuan, or Na Zixia or the sect master of the Xingyue Sect. However, he can not trust anyone now, he can only trust himself.
Moreover, he seems to be a little crazy, he wants to do this thing himself, this thing that is enough to make him famous for all eternity.
For no reason, he thought of the mortal woman who had made him lose his cultivation.
Is it really just a mortal woman?
Indeed it is.
But her previous life was the reason why Ling Li embarked on the path of cultivation in the first place. Ling Li has lived for more than a hundred years and cultivated to the Eight Realms, although the results of his previous life with that woman were not very pleasant, but Ling Li still felt that he owed her in his heart.
If you owe it, it's better to pay it back. Returning her cultivation to her, in exchange for peace of mind, with so much more knowledge and lifespan for no reason, Ling Li felt that he still earned it.
The moonlight blinked for the second time, and he looked up at the night.
He smiled a little, and there was a kind of strategizing momentum.
This drama has just begun.
The people in the audience don't know what the people are playing on the stage, and the people on the stage don't know what the people are watching.
