Volume 3 Chapter 209 It's not that you're bad, it's that I don't want to
Sima Huang, the little emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, actually wanted to see Sedum here! But he reaffirmed his identity as the proprietor behind Baixiaomen, which showed that he was very conflicted.
Sedum saw this kind of heart at a glance, thinking that the little emperor was not very old, and he really couldn't hold his breath, thinking of what Sima Yan said before leaving, Sedum couldn't help but smile bitterly.
To be honest, why did Sima Huang want to see him, he had already guessed, but Princess Yun'an was his own sister, would he really use his sister as a bargaining chip?
Sedum wasn't sure, so he was waiting, waiting for Sima Huang to pick out what he said.
"I don't know if it's the right thing to do, but I've done what I'm supposed to do, would you like to help me?" said Sima Huang after a long groan.
"Do you mean Bai Xiaomen?" Sedum asked, turning to look at the young emperor who was already not too tall to be him.
"When the old Situ handed over this organization to me, I learned that this Baixiaomen was secretly built by my father back then, just to collect some ...... Evidence of guilt. ”
"So did you collect it?" Sedum asked.
Sima Huang sighed and said, "It's difficult!"
Sedum asked again: "What's the difficulty?"
Sima Huang glanced at him and said, "Time! After a certain amount of time, a lot of news and intelligence will lose its timeliness, and the last thing that immortal cultivators are afraid of is the passage of time, and the passage of time can cover up too much truth." ”
"So your suspicions are not confirmed, and there is no answer!" Sedum summed up for him.
"Yes!" Sima Huang nodded in acknowledgement.
"As the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, I am rich and wide, but I have not been able to take out a decent sacrifice to worship my father! I need someone to face that high mountain, I am very tired, and I am afraid of ......!"
Sedum raised his head and looked at the sacred mountain in the distance! shook his head and said, "If I am you, I am also afraid." ”
The little emperor Sima Huang was pressed to death by the Immortal Master Pavilion, although he was the emperor, he couldn't even take out the sacrifices he had to worship his father, it can be seen what kind of life he lived!
After taking over Baixiaomen, I'm afraid his life is a little better, but he is still trembling, there are absolute powerhouses of immortal cultivation like the Great Master, and there are civil and military officials and ministers divided into different factions, and his every move must be cautious.
The master respected him as a great master, and some of them had ways to support the new Great Jin Emperor, and all the branches of the Sima royal family outside were also staring at him through every pair of eyes in the divine capital.
When he understands that these are the people he has to deal with, how can he not be afraid as a teenager who is still underage?
"Thank you...... Understand!" Sima Huang said sincerely.
At this moment, Sedum was really sympathetic to him, if it was himself, standing in Sima Huang's position, he thought that he didn't have much to do, so he understood Sima Huang, and also understood Sima Huang's purpose for seeing him today.
"I hope you can help me...... I know that you are an immortal master with a high level of cultivation, and your help is important to me. Sima Huang finally said.
Sedum suddenly fell silent, and his first reaction was to refuse, not because he was afraid of trouble, nor because he was afraid of the Great Immortal Venerable of the Immortal Master Pavilion, because he felt that he could not shake the current situation of the entire Great Jin Imperial Court at all.
Sima Huang wants to take back the imperial power, but this is obviously dissatisfying the Immortal Master Pavilion, these Great Heavenly Venerables are doing this layout for the resources of the entire Liuyun Immortal Domain, and their every move is a layout, and it is possible that this layout will take a long time.
Making a puppet-like emperor in the imperial court is just one part of this layout plan, and as for what the little emperor thinks, they don't care at all.
But after thinking about it, Sedum suddenly asked, "Why should I help you? Don't talk about my family relationship! ”
Not to mention the relationship between King Dingnan and the Shendu court, naturally Sedum didn't want Sima Huang to tell lies, but he really needed a reason.
"If you can help me, once you succeed in time, I promise that your Hong family will have the treatment of the Immortal Master Pavilion in Dajin!
"Didn't you think about what if you failed? Not only you, but also us, although my father is the king of Dingnan, but it is in the name of the Great Jin, once it is not successful, how much do you think a king of Dingnan is worth?"
"I'm ......!" Sima Huang said.
"Not only the King of Dingnan, but even if it is the King of Yan, it is the same, the strength of the Immortal Master Pavilion is very strong, it can be said that it is the most powerful time in thousands of years, against them, we have almost no chance of winning, so why should I help you?"
Sedum's words are already too straightforward, why should Sima Huang ask Sedum to help him in his current situation? Just let him take a stake in Bai Xiaomen? That is obviously far from enough.
"I know, the risk is too great! I can't give you any guarantees, and I know that you are a cultivator, I still agree to the princess marrying you, doing so is likely to harm her life, but I really can't help it, what do you want me to do? I promise you. ”
Sima Huang became excited, and even said the most unlikely words to say as an emperor, which was obviously asking for Sedum, and he might just say "Please".
Sedum looked at him with a smile and said: "You are too anxious, and your patience and resilience are insufficient, I will give you three years to slowly make up for these two points, and you must first learn to protect yourself, not only the potential threat, but also those direct threats, only by protecting yourself, you will have a chance." ”
Sedum has something to say in his words, and Sima Huang can be regarded as Bing Xue smart, and immediately realized the meaning of these words, and couldn't help but get excited: "What do you mean......?"
"I mean, there are a lot of things you need to learn, I suggest you can ask the immortal master of Liuyun Academy to teach you......! Well, well, I just gave a little bit of time, let's be broad, three to five years! I need time. ”
"I understand, I understand, Liuyun Academy, I remember. Sima Huang was so excited that he didn't even talk about "I".
"Hopefully I'm making the right decision. Sedum said to himself, the little emperor Sima Huang was not thinking about the people of the world, he was just a frightened child, and he was just thinking about self-preservation.
Why should he help him? Of course, Sedum knows why, but he can't tell the other person, and it's often better not to say something than to say it.
But there are some things that must be said, he looked at Sima Huang, whose excitement had not faded, and asked, "Princess Yun'an, what about your own sister?"
"I'm ......!" Sima Huang was speechless again, he was really ashamed, in order to win over Sedum, he actually wanted to sacrifice his sister's happiness! He was really a little ...... as the emperor. Sima Huang's face turned red for a moment.
"But my sister is really ...... Appreciate you. He said.
"I mean, what about the future? You know that I am a person who cultivates immortals, and it is impossible for people like us to think about starting a family and marrying a wife at this time, Princess Yun'an, it is very likely that ...... will be lonely for the rest of your life. ”
What Sedum said was a very cruel and true thing, when the immortal cultivator knew that his longevity was about to end and he could no longer take that step, he would think about leaving a bloodline inheritance, which was probably hundreds of years later.
But the life span of ordinary people who can't cultivate immortals is limited, how can they accompany them?
Sima Huang also knew this, because he couldn't cultivate immortals, for the sake of his own sister's happiness, could he really bear it? He hung his head in shame: "I...... I'll go talk to her. ”
Sedum stopped him and said, "I'd better come...... I'll go and say. ”
He turned his head to look at the pavilion on the lake, sighed in his heart, and Sima Huang also sighed in his heart, and retreated silently.
Sedum strolled towards the pavilion, the sound of the piano still ringing, it was a very slow music, very soft, as if it could pluck the heartstrings, like the gentle breeze on the surface of the lake, and the rolling dew on the lotus leaves.
The slender figure was wearing a long white dress, Sima Nianci had a smile on her face that owed money, and the moment she heard that the prince of Dingnan wanted to propose marriage to the royal family, she didn't know why?
His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, who had written a whole poem for himself, didn't know why he was no longer the legendary half-poem immortal in his heart, his talent and demeanor seemed to have drifted away, but like a relative, someone who could bring her warmth.
The matter of proposing marriage is handled by his best friend Hong Sleeve, and the two laughed in private, and Hong Sleeve also made fun of himself, but Sima Nianci's heart became warm.
The old Yu Shi Liu's family personally proposed, and did not choose the auspicious day of the zodiac to formally propose marriage, but when the news was released, it was also necessary to listen to the opinions of all parties, and he ran out with his younger brother at this time, just to see the son again.
Hearing the footsteps behind her, Princess Yun'an stopped playing and wanted to say something, because Sedum did not speak and salute, and the two were like very familiar old friends.
Princess Yun'an doesn't have to entertain Sedum, because this is someone's mansion, and Sedum doesn't need to salute formally, but the atmosphere at the scene gradually became very cold.
"I have persuaded Your Majesty to refuse King Dingnan's request for marriage for the sake of your happiness. Sedum said.
"Why?" said Sima Nianci.
For the sake of his own happiness, what kind of excuse is this, it turns out that it is all wishful thinking of the youngest daughter, and people don't ...... at all I don't like myself, and the reason why I proposed this time is probably just for political needs.
Sima Nianci Bingxue was smart, she had already heard something from Sedum's words, she turned to look at Sedum, with a sad face, staring at Sedum with big eyes!
"I don't know a lot of things about the princess, you should have a happier life, we are really together, you ......!"
"I don't want those names on me, I'm not a princess, and you're not a prince, so will you like me?"
Sedum suddenly fell silent, Princess Yun'an lowered her head, tears fell and said, "I'm sorry! ”
"It's not that you're bad, it's that I don't want to...... So for you. "Sedum Road.
Princess Yun'an sat down weakly, reached out and grabbed the strings, and a sad feeling for no reason suddenly wrapped up.
