[Chapter 297: Imagining a World Without Power] (5 more)
"Big ...... Great Elder......"
Qu Tianheng shuddered and stopped praying, kneeling in front of the Great Elder.
"Humph!"
The black-clothed Great Elder raised his head and swept Qu Tianheng coldly, "Everything you want to do has already been done, and you have lost several good hands in the sect for this, when will you be able to get rid of Li Chun?"
Qu Tianheng was the one who pleaded in the forest that day and volunteered to kill Li Chun!
He was originally a thin young man, but he didn't know what means he used to transform into his current appearance.
It had been three days since he had been here, and the Great Elder had begun to get a little impatient.
"Great Elder Qiqi, I was about to find a way to tell the elders, but I was afraid that our plan would have to be changed slightly. ”
Qu Tianheng quickly regained his composure, and no longer had the panic at the beginning, he kowtowed and spoke calmly.
"What?"
The Great Elder's face changed suddenly.
"Cane reproach!"
I don't ask why, I will talk about it after the cane first - there are no more executioners here, but Qu Tianheng immediately unbuttoned his shirt honestly, only to hear two bangs, and his back was like being whipped twice by an invisible stick, leaving bright red blood marks.
Qu Tianheng snorted, but still straightened his waist.
"Well, you can say, why change the plan, if there is no reasonable reason, then you can die here now. ”
"Yes!"
Qu Tianheng nodded, and changed the Great Elder's mind with just one word.
"The crown prince has agreed to the practice of slaying the dragon vein. ”
The Great Elder's eyes widened suddenly.
Slaying the dragon vein is the greatest luxury in their sect, but there is no chance to complete it at all, so no one has tried it - this Qu Tianheng can actually convince the prince to do such a rebellious thing?
"With the power of the prince. I didn't even suspect you?--yes, you're pretending to be too good, and you're too big, even if you're as wise as him, you may not be able to see through you!"
The Great Elder's eyebrows furrowed, and his eyes gradually became cold.
"Boy. You were originally trying to persuade the prince to change my plan, right? That's why you borrowed the holy relics of the sect and pretended to deal with that kid, do you know that it is a capital crime to deceive the Lord!"
"I know. ”
Qu Tianheng kowtowed again unhurriedly, "But I also know that slaying the dragon vein is something that the gods are looking forward to, and once it is completed, it will be favored by the gods." Even if it's a capital offense, it's worth it. Of course, that boy is indeed my enemy, and I want to put him to death, and my subordinates will never dare to deceive him. ”
His voice was still a little shaky, this was the last step in the gamble, and he didn't know what the moody Great Elder would do with him. He just firmly believed, even the Great Elder. I will not give up such a good opportunity to please God.
"You're good...... You're good ......."
The Great Elder's voice could not be heard with joy or anger, and he slowly walked up to Qu Tianheng and rubbed his head.
"Today's young people are really too bold. ”
Qu Tianheng let out a cold sweat and closed his eyes.
But there was no thunder next, and there was no sound in my ears.
He looked up. The carriage was still empty, and the figure of the Great Elder had disappeared without a trace.
He took a deep breath and straightened his back again.
Right now...... A qiē has entered his rhythm.
For the rest of the journey, there will be no more monster invasions.
may be because he found that the prince and his party are not easy to mess with, and secondly. It is also because they have penetrated deep into the sphere of influence of Sijon.
On the banks of the Changsheng River, the grass grows and the eagle flies, which is the treasure land for grazing.
In just a few days, the prince's convoy encountered two or three small tribes in a row.
These small tribes, in the hinterland of Xijon, were not as vigilant as they were on the frontier, and they warmly welcomed the prince, offering the best mutton and fine wine to show their hospitality.
"The small tribe is actually very friendly with us Central Plains people. ”
The prince cut a small piece of mutton with a silver knife, put it in his mouth, nodded with satisfaction, and turned back to explain to Li Chun.
Not all Xijon were hostile to the Central Plains, and these small tribes needed salt and tea from merchants from the Central Plains - they had no strength to plunder what they wanted, so they had to do business in a proper manner.
Therefore, when man has strength, it is the beginning of restless life. ”
If these small tribes also have a few hundred cavalry, even if they are dozen, then they will no longer be at ease with their current life, and they will inevitably use their own swords and guns to win a fortune, then the stability of today and now can only be stored in a dream.
"But if people don't have the strength, they will only be bullied, and they won't be able to protect their important people. ”
Li Chun replied with a sigh.
Even in this small tribe, there was still inequality, but after only half a night, he had already heard the story of the tribe leader who had just robbed a young man's bride and only gave two sheep as compensation.
-- The obedient people of these tribes do not seem to be at all angry that the bride has been robbed, but only that the value of the two lean sheep is too little.
Probably only the young man who lost his lover would be sad alone.
"I forgot, you are a man who is bent on power, how can you agree with me?"
The prince laughed and drank all the wine in his glass.
He was slightly drunk.
The prince of the capital has always been a model of etiquette, although he drinks, he will never get drunk, and he will never lose his manners in front of others.
But this is not the case with the prince who traveled west.
About people know that they are going to die, and it is inevitable that they will indulge themselves a little.
"Actually...... I've been fantasizing about what it would be like if there were no gods in this world, no magical martial arts, no Taoism, and of course no damn monsters and monsters, everyone was an ordinary person......"
The prince raised his head and looked up at the starry sky.
"If that's the case, maybe people won't have ambitions, and the world will be more peaceful, right?"
"The people farm, the scholars govern the world, the Son of Heaven rules with the arch, and rejoices with the people......"
His eyes flickered, and there was a sincere temperament on his face, which almost made Li Chun not know how to tell him the truth.
The truth is ridiculous.
Li Chun sighed.
"Prince, even if it is a world without power, there will still be disputes between people, there will still be ambitions and wars, and the same will change the dynasty and shed thousands of miles of blood. ”
Isn't that what he knows about the history of the earth?
"So, there is no point in harshly criticizing power, this is human nature. ”
"Humanity?"
The prince turned his head and opened his drunken eyes at Li Chun.
Li Chun sighed and patted him on the shoulder, "Prince, you are drunk, it is useless to think about these things." ”
"Actually, the weaker you are, the more you should pursue power - until, you have the power to change a qiē!"
Li Chun's gaze was also on the sky, but it was clear and firm. (To be continued......)
