"The master took the Canghaizhu as the base point, and then followed the ambition of the first emperor to expand the territory, and used the annexation of Nanling as a bargaining chip, and made a covenant with the first emperor of Nanling."

At this point, Ziling's eyebrows were slightly gloomy, but his eyes became more and more gloomy.

"The first emperor ordered the master to get the Canghai Pearl to open the secret treasure of the Beiluo Master Gate before the poison spread in his body, use the elixir to eradicate the poison of the seven evils, and include Nanling in the territory. The first emperor promised that if the master could fulfill the contract, he would no longer embarrass Miss Lin, nor would he stop the master from being with Miss Lin. But during this period, in addition to fulfilling the covenant of Nanling, the master must also smash the conspiracy of the wizard clan, eliminate it from the Central Plains, and never see Miss Lin again, otherwise even if the master threatens his life, he will not be able to protect the Beiluo Master, let alone Miss Lin. The master knew that he could not compete with the first emperor, so he had to agree. ”

Although there are not many things to be done in this covenant, even Ziling can see that its conditions are harsh, and every one of them is full of obstacles.

The first emperor had been planning for many years, and the Tianshu Pavilion had failed to take down Nanling with the help of the secret help, not to mention that the master was only a prince at that time, and the foundation and power were not yet stable. Moreover, the Seven Evils in the master's body are only suppressed by drugs, and it is not known how long they can be suppressed, so how easy is it to annex Nanling within this time limit?

Moreover, even if the master gets the Canghai Pearl, how can he easily find and open the secret hidden treasure of the Beiluo Master Gate for a hundred years? Even if the master really finds and opens the secret of the Beiluo Master's Gate, how will Miss Lin, who told the master this secret, think of the master? At that time, even if the master says everything, Miss Lin will probably only feel betrayed and used, and even suspect the master's motives and intentions in the past four years in Beiluoshimen.

Therefore, from the very beginning, the emperor knew that this covenant would be difficult to fulfill, and even if it was fulfilled, there would be an insurmountable gap between the master and Miss Lin. The emperor knew very well that Miss Lin had become the weakness of the master, and her existence would not only become an obstacle to the master's ascent to the top, but also make the master deeply bound by it. Therefore, the emperor never thought of fulfilling the master and Miss Lin, let alone letting Miss Lin go.

The master is well aware of the intentions of the first emperor, and it is only an expedient measure to make a covenant with him for Nanling, all of which is intended to protect Miss Lin first, and then pave the way back in secret.

The emperor thought that he had calculated everything, but he didn't expect that he would be calculated by the master one step in advance. The first emperor didn't know until the moment of his death, the secret treasure of the Beiluo Master Gate and the key in the Canghai Pearl were all made up by the master, and there was no elixir in this world that could solve the seven evils.

The noisy street market outside the window is now silent with the accumulation of recollections.

The breeze blows through the window, and the clothes are gently swaying and the sideburns are slanting. If the world is like a glimpse of the world, it is reflected in Ziling's eyes, the sun is flowing, the old mountains and rivers are dyed with gold, and the joys and sorrows of the world are full of them.

"At that time, the master made a covenant with the former emperor, which was originally to stabilize the former emperor and delay time. After the master secretly planned everything, he hid Miss Lin, and the master escaped with fake death, and then he could take Miss Lin to live in seclusion, so that the emperor would have no reason to provoke Beiluo again. But the master calculated everything, but he didn't expect that the emperor would die suddenly in a few months. ”

Ziling looked at the light and shadow, and her gloomy eyes were full of sighs for fate, as well as sadness and sadness for the past.

Although the emperor was not a loving father, he was a virtuous monarch. During his reign, he never greedy for pleasure, and devoted all his thoughts to state affairs, burning anointing and inheriting the sundial for the country and the people, and working hard to cause his body to deteriorate day by day. During the four years that the master was in Beiluoshimen, the emperor's body was already in tatters, but the emperor blocked the news and did not let the master know half of it. When the master returned to the palace, the first emperor was angry and anxious, and the oil was exhausted. He knew that his time was short, so he would persecute his master and put pressure on his master, so that he could put the heavy responsibility of his family and country in the hands of his master.

It's just that the emperor's eyes have never been a country, no home, everything he has done in his life is for Dongchen, but he has never really considered the feelings of his master, and even until the moment before he died, he told his master that he was about to die. He so forcefully and undeniably placed all the burdens and responsibilities on the shoulders of his master.

It was also from that moment that all the master's plans and ideas for the future came to naught. The responsibility of protecting the country and protecting the people weighed heavily on the master like a heavy mountain, and the mission restrained him like an invisible and heavy shackle, making him unable to avoid or be freed.

Ziling closed her eyes sadly, after all, the past is uncountable, and the years are gone.

"The emperor did not forget to remind the master when he was dying, he had ordered the dark underworld to lead the old department of the dark blade to supervise the master in secret, if the master no longer fulfilled the agreement, or goodbye Miss Lin, once Miss Lin went out of the north and fell to the master, the dark underworld will lead the dark blade to hunt down Miss Lin and take her heart."

As soon as the dark blade comes out, it will rest until death. For this dark blade in the Dongchen Dark Pavilion, Ziling had also heard about its origin from the shadow.

Dongchen Dark Pavilion was originally a group of secret guards and dead soldiers who were only loyal to the monarch, and the successive monarchs would cultivate their own new dark pavilion forces before succeeding to the throne, and after ascending the throne, they would replace the dark pavilion forces of the previous monarch, and most of the people in the old dark pavilion would choose to be martyred.

However, since the succession of the first emperor, the scale of the Dark Pavilion has increased several times, and it has been divided into two forces, composed of the Dark Blade and the Dark Shield. As the name suggests, the blade is a sharp weapon, a knife that the monarch hides in the shadows; The shield is a bulwark, a well-thought-out armor for the protector.

And Shadow's father, Dark Shadow, not only ruled the entire Dark Pavilion, but also used the power of the Dark Blade to establish the Tianshu Pavilion at the behest of the Emperor, and the Dark Blade was actually the predecessor of the Heavenly Pavilion. Later, the Tianshu Pavilion became famous and gradually expanded into a force in the rivers and lakes, and in order to hide the identity behind it, the dark blade was gradually withdrawn from the Tianshu Pavilion. Later, after the master took over the Tianshu Pavilion, the new dark blade was inserted into the Tianshu Pavilion, and the new generation of dark shield forces led by Zishu, Ziyu, and Ziheng stayed by the master's side to protect him.

However, whether it is the new generation of Dark Blade or Dark Shield, its martial arts foundation is taught and taught by the previous generation of Dark Pavilion, so if the new Dark Pavilion wants to confront the old Dark Blade, I am afraid it will not have an advantage.

The first emperor calculated this point accurately, so he deliberately left a hidden blade, wanting to threaten and force the master to fulfill the agreement.

The emperor thought that as long as the master and Miss Lin no longer saw each other, after the baptism of the years and the tempering of the world, the master would also be able to distinguish between the important responsibilities of the family and the country and the love of the children, and the affection for Miss Lin would also be weakened and even forgotten. At that time, no matter whether the master can get the elixir or not, the dark will lead someone to dig out Miss Lin's heart to the master, and even if the master is unwilling, he will be forced to accept it because of the responsibility and mission on his shoulders.

But after all, the emperor still underestimated the affection and bond between the master and Miss Lin, even after many years, this relationship is still like a rock and difficult to transfer.
