Chapter 54: The Emperor's Suffering
Let's talk about the Zhenwu Hall first, Xuanyuan Shadow led Lin Aofan into the Zhenwu Palace, and Xuanyuan Houyi was already waiting at the main gate of the Zhenwu Palace.
As soon as Lin Aofan stepped into the True Martial Palace, Hou Yi flashed over from the side and shouted with joy on his face: "Brother, you are here." When Lin Aofan saw Hou Yi appearing like this, he couldn't help but laugh and scold, and went up and gave Hou Yi a big hug.
When Lin Aofan and Hou Yi met, they were still the same as usual, hugging and saying hello.
Xuanyuan Shadow greeted his father and planned to retire first, but Hou Yi whispered beside Shadow, "Go and call Wu Xuanfeng and ask him to come over to accompany the wine." β
The Shadow nodded, and quickly left the True Martial Palace.
Since Lin Aofan was Hou Yi's private meeting this time, and it was not an official visit to the Great Demon Realm, Hou Yi also specially asked the inner palace to prepare a table of banquets in advance to wash the dust for Lin Aofan.
Lin Aofan and Hou Yi sat down to drink and talk, and when they arrived here, Lin Aofan didn't pay much attention to check whether it was poisonous or not, because Hou Yi has always been upright and disdainful, plus the life and death of the two of them on the battlefield for thousands of years, it is not this dispute that can be defeated.
It happened that the rapid march of this night was so busy that he didn't even have the time to drink water, and under Hou Yi's toast, Lin Aofan had a good drink with Hou Yi.
It is necessary to talk about the meaning and nature of poisoning in the mythical world, although the general toxin here has no lethal effect on the life forms of the mythical world, as long as the type of toxin is correct, according to the type of his own spell, he can still temporarily restrain the operation of his spells, or curb the use rate of his energy, which is a general toxin effect.
There are still a very small number of toxins that can still be used to deliver lethal toxins after being purified in complex proportions, but this method of refining toxins is too complex and time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Therefore, it is not a special case, and when it is not necessary, the life forms in the general mythological world disdain to do this.
Of course, if the cultivator's specialty weapon is a secret weapon or some kind of natural spell, he will inevitably rely on toxins to increase the probability of winning the battle.
Lin Aofan and Hou Yi both had a friendly attitude, as if there was no such thing as sending troops at all, they were still chatting about the old days, ridiculing the topic between men.
Chatting and chatting, after five rounds of drinking, Lin Aofan and Hou Yi both turned red from drinking, and their words and demeanors were slightly drunk.
Lin Aofan changed the topic and asked, "Hou Yi, tell me the truth, the Heavenly Realm is going to wage war with our Great Demon Realm by throwing troops into the Heavenly Demon Border on a large scale?"
Seeing Lin Aofan ask like this, Hou Yi stopped ridiculing in the clouds, his expression returned to seriousness, and he said bluntly: "That's true, the battle book of the Heavenly Realm will be presented to the Demon Emperor in a few days." β
Lin Aofan put down the wine glass in his hand, held it in his hand and rotated it gently, as if he was puzzled: "I just want to know what you want?"
Hou Yi slowly stood up and said frankly: "Not for anything else, just to bring Lin Shuangyun and Lin Jing'er home and be with them forever." Because of the damn ban, I can't think of any other way. β
A smile appeared on the corner of Lin Aofan's mouth, "Oh", he raised his head and dried the wine glass, then put down the wine glass, as if joking: "Don't say I didn't remind you, they are in the Tianhou Hall now, even if you cut them off at this time, I can't do anything." β
Lin Aofan's meaning is actually to tell Hou Yi that you don't need to go to war, just by impulse, you can see that the two visiting princesses of the Demon Realm are detained, and Lin Aofan can use the excuse of being weak to go back to the Great Demon Realm to resume his life.
As long as Hou Yi treats his two sisters well, Lin Aofan can use various reasons to slow down the formation of the Great Demon Realm to send troops to denounce, even if the army is dispatched, it will not hinder the three levels of the Heavenly Demon Border, so you can be together for as long as you want.
It's just that the consequences of this have two drawbacks, one is that the Heavenly Realm and the Great Demon Realm will enter a long period of strife from now on, and if it is staged to a fierce level, the situation will evolve from a war between the Heavenly Demons and the Great Demon to a war between gods and demons.
When it comes to this layout, it will be impossible to control it, and it is more likely to bring the hard-won peace and prosperity of the Three Realms of Gods and Demons to the brink of disaster together, which is the last thing Hou Yi wants to see.
Second, that is, it is not good for Lin Shuangyun and Lin Jing'er's reputation, so they became hostages and were bullied by the Emperor of Heaven day and night. In this way, what was originally a very pure thousand-year-old love has become something that is spurned by others, and it will hurt the three of them very much.
In the mythological world, a woman's name is more important than life. Especially Lin Shuangyun and Lin Jing'er's thousand-year-old boudoir refusal to marry, has already caused a rumor.
If Hou Yi couldn't bear to hurt them any longer, then he would be a bastard and a beast, so Hou Yi would never accept this kind reminder.
Hou Yi stretched out his hand and poured a full glass of wine for Lin Aofan, thanked him for his kindness, and said, "I don't want them to wait for me stupidly, and I don't want them to have a bad reputation for me as a bastard." My purpose is to marry them and make them my wives in the open. β
Lin Aofan drained the wine in the cup, put down the wine glass, and sighed: "Since this is the case, then why go to war? As long as you dare to personally propose to my father and queen mother, I will dare to personally protect the family sending team to marry the two younger sisters to you." Is it so boring to fight a battle with nothing to do? Is there any deep hatred between the Demon Realm and the Heavenly Realm? β
Hou Yi reluctantly picked up the flask and poured a large sip of wine, and the wine flowed out of Hou Yi's lips with Hou Yi's movements.
Hou Yi wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth and replied, "If I had the strength to openly resist the rules of forbidden love between gods and demons, would I still wait until now? Of course, I know it's selfish. So I can only start a war that can control the situation, and I hope to bump into them on the battlefield. β
Lin Aofan smiled, patted Hou Yi's shoulder three times, and said: "Hou Yi, you are really good at abacus, if you want to capture my sister as a daughter-in-law on the battlefield, not only will you save the dowry, but you can also ask for a ransom." Only make money and don't lose money, Hou Yi, I really convinced you. β
The corners of Hou Yi's mouth moved, wanting to explain the true meaning in his heart. Lin Aofan waved his hand to prevent Hou Yi from speaking, and continued: "Actually, I understand your hardships. I understand that as the Lord of One Realm, you have your own difficulties. We don't lack wealth, power, armies, wives or anything at all, all we lack is the extreme romance that we pursue with our lives and a pure love without external interference. β
Hou Yi smiled bitterly, and added another glass of wine to Lin Aofan, Lin Aofan raised a glass and toasted with Hou Yi, and they both understood in their hearts the kind of pressure and depression that they couldn't say if they were in the extreme position.
In terms of the inner palace, perhaps His Royal Highnesses Hou Yi and Lin Aofan are not alone, but the kind of love that they yearn for and desire in their hearts to put aside their troubles, be free, unrestrained, and not affected by political marriage, can only stay in fantasy.
Who doesn't want to live the life they want with ease?
But in an extreme position, you must first consider whether it will affect the interests of your own world when you do anything, and then you must consider whether it is in line with your own identity and status, and you must also estimate the feelings of the generals under your command and the residents of all ethnic groups under your rule.
Perhaps this is the common suffering of emperors, the kind of sorrow that cannot be spoken, and no one can complain about it.
The only thing Hou Yi could do when he was fragile was to lie in Hua Yanru's arms and be willful like a child, and feel Hua Yanru's gentle embrace and intimate care.
As the Emperor of Heaven, the pressure and distress can only be buried deep in his heart, constantly forcing himself to turn pressure into motivation. If Hou Yi stopped and did not resist the pressure and difficulties, the end of the heavenly realm could only be to fall step by step until destruction.
Lin Aofan no longer asked about the imminent war between the two worlds of Houyi Heaven and Demon, but turned the topic to Lin Shuangyun and Lin Jing'er.
Lin Aofan stood up, asked Hou Yi seriously and formally, and said, "I will ask you again after the last question, Hou Yi, you have to say what is in your heart." What kind of relationship do you and my sister have, lovers, girlfriends, fiancΓ©es? Will you really marry them both without fear of any consequences, no matter what the cost?"
When Hou Yi heard this, there was a look in his eyes that he wanted to give them a promise, and replied sincerely and sincerely: "In my heart, they are my daughters-in-law who have not passed through the door. Please give me a little more time to get the last few things done, and I'll dare to marry them at all costs. Let our relationship legitimately and openly exist in this world. β
When Lin Aofan heard this, he took out a short sword inlaid with a silver dragon that he carried with him and put it in front of Hou Yi, and asked, "Do you dare to swear?"
The oath is very important in the mythological world, because after each oath is made clear in blood, if you can't do it, you will really be punished.
Don't forget that this is the Mythical Realm, there are gods everywhere, even if you are the Realm Lord, there are Xuanyuan Ancestors who are bigger than you, and if you wantonly trample on the oath, you will die a miserable death.
Hou Yi drew a short sword in his right hand, and the blade flickered with cold light. Ignoring the sharpness of the blade, Hou Yi picked open the sleeve on his left arm and slashed it fiercely, letting the blood drip into the wine glass.
Hou Yi's tone was full of respect, raised his glass to the sky, and said: "I swear to Xuanyuan Ancestor with blood, Xuanyuan Houyi will definitely not disappoint Lin Shuangyun and Lin Jing'er, and will marry Lin Shuangyun and Lin Jing'er within three years, if you violate this oath, you will not die." β
After finishing speaking, Yi sprinkled a glass of wine mixed with his own blood in the air.
Lin Aofan was very satisfied when he saw Hou Yi swear like this, and clapped his hands and said, "Okay, I have written down your oath." Hou Yi didn't add wine and food, and called Wu Xuanfeng to accompany me. Hello, take the opportunity to slip away and go to see my sister. β
Hou Yi couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and said, "I have already called the shadow to shout, and I guess it should come." β
Lin Aofan laughed when he heard that Hou Yi had already made arrangements, and said, "Hou Yi, I can tell you, if it weren't for my two stupid sisters begging my mother today, the ghost would have agreed to bring them over to see you." β
Hou Yi bowed down and thanked Lin Aofan for his move, and said, "Thank you big brother for your success, I'll just slip away." β
Lin Aofan smiled and said, "I will try to drink as much as possible, even if I am drunk, I will try to delay for you a little longer." When we meet again, we will be enemies, and I will accompany us to the end when the time comes. β
Hou Yi said "um", with a trace of forbearance and helplessness on his face, and smiled reluctantly: "Thank you for reminding me, I won't show mercy on the battlefield." β
Lin Aofan replied with a categorical smile: "I won't be soft." β
Coincidentally, Wu Xuanfeng, the commander of the Heavenly Realm Soldiers and Horses, received the rule of Xuanyuan Shadow, and immediately flew over, and when he stepped into the True Martial Hall with a loud voice, Hou Yi just took the opportunity to sneak away and go to see her and her that he had dreamed of for a long time.
