Chapter 726: Castle Tower Talk

Lucius explained the purpose of his trip to the East, which made Li Wuchen feel a little surprised, after all, it takes great courage to compete with an eternal divine kingdom.

The essence contained in those eternal divine kingdoms alone is by no means comparable to ordinary people, plus the many planes under the rule of those divine kingdoms, it is simply an impossible existence to defeat, even if there are many beings who have become gods, they do not dare to provoke those divine kingdoms.

And now Lucius's ideal is actually to fight against the Magic Heavenly Kingdom, the oldest eternal divine kingdom, which is simply beyond Li Wuchen's imagination.

It can be said that even if Li Wuchen was in a powerful country and had been able to contact the Eternal Divine Kingdom Immortal Domain in the East since he was a child, he had never thought of fighting against that high Immortal Realm.

Because in Li Wuchen's mind, the Immortal Domain is impossible to defeat, no matter how strong he is, in the end, he can only bow his noble head in front of the Immortal Domain, and he must grovel to the Immortal Domain in order to obtain the power given by the Immortal Domain.

It can be said that it is impossible for any normal person to think about fighting against an eternal kingdom of gods like Lucius, which in the eyes of most people is an invincible and powerful being.

Seeing Li Wuchen's silent and surprised appearance, Lu Xius couldn't help but smile and said, "Hehe, what's the matter? Do you think I'm crazy? I think that if I want to challenge the Eternal God Kingdom, that's self-defeating, and I'm killing myself, right?"

Without waiting for Li Wuchen to speak, Shuang'er hurriedly said: "Aren't you? Don't you understand the horror of the Eternal God Kingdom? The eternity they have been given alone makes them invincible, they are eternally existent, and you and I are just an insignificant speck of dust in the long river of time." ”

Hearing Shuang'er snatching white, Li Wuchen was not annoyed, but nodded in agreement with what Shuang'er said, obviously Shuang'er said what he wanted to say.

Lucius wasn't annoyed by Shuang'er's snatching of white. Still smiling indifferently, he said, "Haven't you heard that the so-called 'a speck of dust can fill the sea'?"

Li Wuchen smiled when he heard this, and said: "That's just some people's imagination, how can a speck of dust fill the sea? After all, the so-called sea is endless, and it is impossible for a speck of dust to fill it, so your ideal cannot be realized." ”

Knowing that Li Wuchen didn't agree with him, Lucius couldn't help but smile and said: "Hehe, it seems that our ideas are a little conflicting, and there is no way to really agree, but it doesn't matter, there are contradictions and conflicts." There is a need for communication. ”

Shuang'er pursed his lips when he heard this, and said: "You are really arrogant, who do you think you are? ”

Hearing that Shuang'er's words were a little harsh, Li Wuchen hurriedly stopped: "Shuang'er, how can you say that about His Highness Lucius? Everyone has their own reasons, and if you want to allow others to tell their own reasons, how can you insult others like this?"

Lucius was not annoyed. Continue to say calmly: "It doesn't matter, in fact, everyone has their own understanding, and everyone just has different ideas. ”

"Perhaps in your eyes, it seems vain that a speck of dust fills the sea. But it seems to me that it is still possible, maybe when the weight of that particle of dust is enough, it will naturally be able to absorb all the water in the sea and fill the sea. ”

Li Wuchen nodded when he heard this and said, "You are right. Everyone has their own philosophy and pursuit, and everyone has the right to pursue, so there is no need to say more. ”

Seeing that Li Wuchen was unwilling to continue pestering. Lucius directly changed the topic: "Then what does Brother Li think of the current situation in Fusang? In this battle in Kyoto, will the emperor be able to win in the end, or will the rebel army instigated by Pei Yan be able to successfully force the palace?"

"Hehehe, rebels, it seems that Lucius is very preconceived and has defined the Fuso people who attacked Kyoto, but I don't think those guys should be called rebels. ”

Speaking of this, Li Wuchen didn't wait for Lucius to reply, and then said: "It's as if you said before that everyone has the right to choose their own destiny, and now those Fuso troops attacking Kyoto are just making another choice. ”

Lucius couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Hahaha, another choice? But shouldn't you say that it's just that they didn't make the choice themselves?"

Listening to Lucius's words full of mockery, Li Wuchen felt a little helpless, in fact, Li Wuchen also knew very well in his heart that the so-called choice was just an excuse, and most of the Fusang soldiers who participated in the war, I am afraid that most of them did not understand the truth, and just thought that they were launching a holy war to save the emperor.

This is the irony of most wars, it seems that either side is just, but in fact the side that often seems to be full of justice is the one who really provokes the war, and the other side is often only passively involved in the war.

In the offensive and defensive battle in Kyoto, it seems that the Fuso army that was besieging the city was to clear the emperor's powerful ministers and want to protect them, but in fact they were just being used by others.

The real war was actually provoked by their commanders, in order to push the emperor's inherent rule and beliefs and re-establish a new regime of their own.

Lucius's words were unceremoniously, and he directly mocked Li Wuchen sharply and harshly: "In fact, although the war in Fusang was not provoked by your Tang Empire, you have always played a role in fanning the flames, and it was you who made the war in Fusang become more and more severe, and finally reached the point where it is out of control now." ”

Li Wuchen smiled a little helplessly and said: "Okay, I can't refute this, you said a lot, in fact, a large part of the reason why the entire Fusang War has become like this is that our Tang Empire plays a key role in it." ”

Immediately afterwards, Li Wuchen's words changed: "However, sometimes, if we don't do this, we will not only lose a lot of interests, but may also be threatened by Fusang, I believe that even you, you will reduce this threat from the surrounding areas in advance, and will not wait for the threat to grow before dealing with it." ”

Lucius didn't deny it, nodded and said, "Okay, I have to admit that you are right, if you change me, I am afraid that the surrounding threats will also be snuffed out in infancy." ”

"It's just that even if you let Fusang fall into war, I'm afraid it may not be able to solve your crisis fundamentally, right? The war will end sooner or later, Fusang will become stronger and stronger at that time, and the national strength will slowly recover after the war, won't it still threaten you at that time?"

Hearing this, Li Wuchen picked up the wine cup, took a sip of wine and moistened his throat, and then said: "We have also thought of these, so we did not completely annex the surrounding countries, but only weakened their strength, leaving them as a supervision for ourselves. ”

Speaking of this, Li Wuchen turned the topic back to Fusang: "The purpose of my coming to Fusang is to reach an agreement with Fusang, not to annex Fusang, but to solve the war situation in Fusang and seek some benefits from it." ”

Lucius laughed and teased: "However, you didn't expect to meet me here, so the benefits you want to make are just afraid that it will be difficult to get them from me." ”

Li Wuchen put down his wine glass, and said a little helplessly: "Yes, with you, we are destined to get no benefits, in fact, if I had known that you were here, I'm afraid I might not have come, but I don't regret coming, after getting to know you, I will arrange a good arrangement in Middle-earth, and get back the face I lost on you." ”

"Hahahaha......" Lucius laughed on his back when he heard this, "Li Wuchen, you really dare to think, do you think that in the Tang Empire in Middle-earth, it is your home field, and you will definitely be able to defeat me?"

Regarding Lucius's obvious ridicule, Li Wuchen said without showing weakness: "That's natural, if you enter Middle-earth, I will definitely arrest you first, put you in a prison, and torture you for a period of time, so that I can vent the hatred in my heart now." ”

Lucius replied disapprovingly: "I'm afraid of you, you won't be able to catch me at all, or you want to arrest me, but some people don't allow you to do that." ”

"Cocky guys. Shuang'er pouted beside him, sneering at Lucius's arrogance.

Lucius raised his chin proudly with a smile: "This is not arrogance, but full confidence in one's own strength, I'm afraid you don't know yet, what I am best at is to defeat others on other people's home turf and destroy other people's confidence in themselves." ”

Li Wuchen couldn't help frowning when he heard this, he also felt that Lucius was a little too arrogant, his words revealed a kind of extreme confidence in himself, but when others heard it, it was very harsh.

However, Li Wuchen didn't refute again, but picked up the wine cup and drank it himself, seemingly unwilling to continue to entangle with Lucius.

just kept that unconvincing in his heart, and was confident that as long as Lucius entered Middle-earth, he would be able to suppress Lucius in all aspects, and then he would completely destroy Lucius's self-confidence and make him understand how stupid and ridiculous his arrogance was today.

Neither of them spoke, drinking to their own drinks, and after a while, a humanoid machine stepped up to the castle tower, came to Lucius, and handed him a report of the battle from Kyoto.

Lucius unfolded the battle report, looked at the description of the war in Kyoto above, and after reading it, the corners of his mouth slowly raised, and then handed the battle report to Li Wuchen, signaling Li Wuchen to take a good look at the battle report from Kyoto.

Li Wuchen took the battle report and read it carefully, the look of surprise on his face became heavier and heavier, and in the end he was already dumbfounded, and he couldn't believe that the battle report in his hand was real. (To be continued......)
