Chapter 68: Unity
Looking at the expression of the Immortal Emperor, Li Ye knew that the other party judged that he was not lying. This saved him a lot of effort, at least he didn't have to let Fei Hong fight to the death with him.
Li Ye finally stopped laughing, looked at the Immortal Emperor and teased: "How about it, now you can hear me speak?" Let me remind you first, I speak very loudly, if you don't want to listen well, you can not listen, I will definitely not be reluctant." ”
The Immortal Emperor could control his facial expressions at will, so even if he was already extremely uncomfortable in his heart and wanted to scold Li Ye very much, he still couldn't find even a trace of change on his face.
Of course he knew what Li Ye meant when he said that he was talking loudly.
Only those who have strength can speak loudly.
And among the two, one of them speaks loudly, and the other naturally speaks quietly. If not, it's a fight. Of course, the Immortal Emperor was not interested in quarreling with Li Ye, so it was better to do it directly.
With the help of the monks of the Buddha Domain, Li Ye already has full confidence in defeating the army of the Immortal Emperor.
The strength is not as strong as the other party, so the Immortal Emperor can only speak in a low voice.
No matter what Li Ye said, he had to listen to it first.
"What do you want to say?" asked the Immortal Emperor.
He asked calmly, but Li Ye still felt his suppressed anger and grievances, which made Li Ye's face return to normal, and a hint of a smile appeared.
Li Ye said easily: "It's very simple, you and your army of monks will unite with us to resist the Khitan immortals." ”
"Alliance?" the Immortal Emperor sneered, "I won't unite with the rebels and thieves!"
Li Ye was not annoyed, and asked, "Have you figured it out?"
The Immortal Emperor did not speak.
He was speechless.
Li Ye's question was very flat, his tone was not aggravated, and the volume was not raised. This is completely inconsistent with the superficial meaning of what he said before, that he will speak loudly.
But the Immortal Emperor couldn't continue to say that he had made up his mind.
From Li Ye's indifferent attitude, he realized the other party's resolute intentions.
The Immortal Emperor was very sure that as long as he gave an answer that Li Ye didn't want to hear, then the other party would definitely be unceremonious and order the monks of the Buddha Domain to participate in the battle and fight with him to the end.
The fish is dead and the net is broken, which is a choice that will be made as a last resort in a desperate situation where there is no way.
As long as there is a glimmer of life, no one wants to do that.
The Immortal Emperor was no exception.
He was silent for a moment, and when Li Ye's eyebrows began to look impatient, he asked in a deep voice, "Who is in charge?"
When he asked this, he didn't feel anything himself, and the eyes of Tota, Nezha and others behind him became extremely surprised and weird when they looked at him.
First, these words show that the Immortal Emperor, the master of Daomen Heaven and Earth, is willing to accept the alliance with the Demon Clan and Tongtian!
Second, he just said that it is impossible for me to tolerate rebellious ministers and thieves, which is tantamount to giving himself a slap in the face.
Tuota, Nezha and the others realized at the same time that the Daomen Immortal Court was no longer the master of the Daomen Heaven and Earth!
As long as there is still a glimmer of this possibility, it is impossible for the Immortal Emperor to give up his dignity and tolerate the existence of the demon clan and Tongtian.
This made Tota, Nezha and others feel a lot of pain.
Since they expelled the demon clan and entered the immortal court, they have become accustomed to being high up, overlooking the common people, and holding the power of life and death. And now, they are no longer gods, and they can only choose to survive in humiliation in the face of an army led by a mortal.
Although the pain makes the immortals unhappy, but just looking at the number of monks in the Buddha Domain, and the fighting spirit of the demon clan and the army under the command of Tongtian, they can't help but accept that the era when their people controlled heaven and earth is indeed in the past.
Facing the Immortal Emperor's question, Li Ye chuckled.
The Immortal Emperor heard a strong sarcasm.
This made him angry and murderous!
However, Li Ye's next words made him almost fall into a rampage on the spot.
Li Ye said lightly: "Why do you have to ask this question? Whose voice is loud - no, to be more specific, whoever is strong will naturally have the final say." ”
The Immortal Emperor's eyes were low, and he was full of anger, and he was about to speak when he opened his mouth.
Li Ye added to himself: "I think it's better for me to say it more clearly, after watching the process of your 'comprehension' of Feihong's mind, I really don't have much confidence in your comprehension ability." Immortal Emperor, you heard clearly, among the coalition forces, it is up to me to decide!"
"Bastard, do you dare to insult me like this?!" The Immortal Emperor couldn't hold back his anger anymore, he didn't hesitate at all, and turned around to greet the immortals, "Everyone listen to the order and prepare to rush into battle!"
Tota and Nezha glanced at each other, turned back silently, and went to carry out the order of the Immortal Emperor.
Li Ye was noncommittal, but also made a gesture to prepare for battle.
Fei Hong naturally did not question Li Ye's order, and shouted in a low voice: "Fight!"
The monks of the Buddha domain on the monstrous golden waves dispersed in two batches. One is approaching the army in the north of the Immortal Court, and the other is directly descending on the battlefield. Everyone has a magic weapon in their hands, and as soon as the order to start a war comes out, they will immediately start fighting.
The corner of the Immortal Emperor's eyes twitched.
This time, he finally confirmed that Li Ye really had the determination to fight him to the death.
It's not that he will go to war if he doesn't unite, it's that he won't recognize Li Ye as the main person, so he will immediately go to war.
Hearing the word "battle" in Fei Hong's mouth, Tota, Nezha and other immortal court powers, all of them changed their eyes, and some people even trembled their bodies.
In this bloody battle that is about to begin, they have no certainty of winning.
After fighting with the demon clan and Tongtian for so long, half of the immortals were already exhausted, and the northern army that returned to help, both in number and strength, was almost half of the monks in front of them!
This is not a fight, this is a death sentence!
Eventually, every immortal will die, and not one will be spared!
When the formation was about to attack, more and more immortals couldn't help but set their eyes in one direction.
The direction in which Thoten and his disciples were located.
His eyes were full of inquiry.
The Immortal Emperor is going to die, why should they accompany him?
Everyone's cultivation is not easy to come by, why should they give up for the Immortal Emperor?
If the Immortal Emperor was still the Immortal Emperor, they would naturally be willing to surrender. But when the Immortal Emperor is no longer an Immortal Emperor, just a dead person, what's the point of following him?
If you take refuge in Tongtian, will you be able to live?
Tongtian, who was standing with the Bull Demon King, naturally noticed the gaze cast by those immortals. As an old and cunning existence, of course he could instantly read the meaning of those eyes.
So Tongtian smiled and nodded, reassuring you, I can definitely accommodate your eyes.
Tongtian smiled and was extremely relieved, and did not forget to look at Li Ye and cough lightly to remind the other party.
He has been fighting with the Immortal Emperor for so many years, and he has been under house arrest by the other party for a long time, which can be described as humiliating, and now, he has turned over.
The taste of turning over is really not humane to outsiders.
What a refreshment and refreshing!
After being reminded by Tongtian, Li Ye noticed the expressions of those immortals, and quickly figured out the root cause. The smile in his eyes became more and more intense, and he also responded solemnly, saying that as long as they were willing to belong, he could not blame the past.
The immortals immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
There are not many such immortals, after all, when they are about to fight, they are too bold to talk to local generals. But it was definitely not a single person, at least, Li Ye noticed hundreds of such eyes.
The number of monks in the Buddha Domain is about the same, and the immortal army of the Daomen Immortal Court also has tens of thousands of people. The vast majority of these people are the teams that were pulled up during the founding period of Shimen and Daomen. After the Buddha Domain and the Immortal Court are stabilized, there are not many people who have ascended to immortals.
It's the same as in the mortal world. The number of troops and official positions in a country is basically determined during the founding of the country, and there will be no special circumstances in the future, and it will not increase much. After all, these people need money and food to support.
There are hundreds or thousands of immortals, and the number is less than one percent of the immortal army.
But this is the person who dares to look at them now, who knows how many immortals have the same thoughts, but they dare not show it for the time being?
Immortals are not mortals, it is not easy to become immortals, and their longevity is long, and they all spare their lives. Just like the families of the powerful and rich, in the face of war, they are always much more timid than the ordinary people.
The Immortal Emperor's heart tightened.
How could he not notice the movements of the immortals under his command?
What are they doing here?
Do you want to rebel?
Do you want to betray me?
However, the Immortal Emperor's first reaction was not anger, but a chill in his hands and feet, and he felt sincere fear.
What if these idlers really join the enemy?
He had no chance of winning, and if such an accident happened, he was afraid that it would be difficult to even save his life.
As the lord of the Immortal Court, the Immortal Emperor, like the mortal emperor, is most sensitive to whether his power is stable and whether his position will be challenged.
The Son of Heaven was angry and ambushed millions of corpses, which is indeed true. But the premise is that there must be 100,000 male teachers like arm-in-arms. Once everyone betrays their relatives and leaves, it is pointless to raise troops in anger, and they will only let themselves die faster.
Suffering from Li Ye's provocation, the Immortal Emperor could be annoyed and angry and desperate with the other party.
He is an immortal emperor, even if he dies, he must keep the dignity of the emperor!
The emperor can also make peace with the rebels and thieves, but it must be in the name of Zhao'an! The emperor absolutely cannot accept the rebels and thieves to give orders to him!
However, once betrayed by all the courtiers, then the emperor is a joke!
The emperor who becomes a king and is defeated by all his courtiers will have nothing, and he will only leave a reputation in history!
The Immortal Emperor didn't believe that he would be betrayed by all his courtiers at the same time!
This is the minimum self-confidence of an emperor.
If you don't even have this kind of self-confidence, how can you be an emperor?
"Go to war!" the Immortal Emperor raised the long sword in his hand and pointed at Li Ye and the others, "All of them go to war!"
Everyone's hearts were shaken.
The last moment has finally come.
The Immortal Emperor had a gloomy face, staring at his army.
He wanted to see if everyone would betray him!
If someone moves, he will clean it as soon as possible!
Many immortals had gloomy faces, and in an instant, thousands of thoughts flashed through their hearts, weighing whether they should change their ways immediately.
Time waits for no one, and survivors have no chance to hesitate!
Because, the monks of the Buddha domain are already about to make a move.
At the last moment, a shout suddenly came, ringing in everyone's ears.
"Ladies and gentlemen!"
Hearing this voice, everyone couldn't help but follow the prestige.
Immortal Court Monk, with a hopeful gaze and an urgent mood.
The monks of the Buddha Domain also stopped moving.
Because Li Ye raised his hand.
Li Ye also looked at the man.
He was also curious if this person could change anything.
The person who came was Yang Jian, who had just been ordered by the Immortal Emperor to lift the punishment and allow him to make meritorious contributions.
......
No immortal continued to rush forward to fight, even if the Immortal Emperor did not give an order.
They all wanted to see if Yang Jian could save their lives and pull them out of the quagmire of despair.
Even if it's a small hope.
But not for nothing.
What if, Yang Jian is the opposite?
If he takes the lead in rebellion, with his cultivation strength and prestige qualifications, he will definitely be able to respond at this time!
The choice between a doomed death or a rebellion is not a difficult problem.
Most of the mortal people raised troops because they couldn't survive, so they twisted their knives to grab food. Therefore, most of the large-scale actions of the mortal people occurred in the year of the great calamity. In the year of the catastrophe, how could the imperial court survive without disaster relief and food grabbing?
The current situation of the immortals in the Immortal Court, after getting to the bottom of it, is no different from those desperate mortal people.
Yang Jian came to the Immortal Emperor and bowed down, "Yang Jian, the criminal minister, is ordered to come, and there is a report on the matter, and I will play it to Your Majesty!"
The Immortal Emperor looked at Yang Jian for a while and did not speak, his eyes changed several times.
He also wanted to know what kind of heart Yang Jian had in order to prevent him from dying with Li Yeyu.
After thinking about it, the Immortal Emperor decided to listen to what Yang Jian had to say first, "What's the matter?"
Yang Jian didn't get the order to get up, so he kept the posture of bowing down in a proper manner, and said word by word: "On the way here, the minister found that the scout of the Khitan immortals had arrived not far away!
"The ministers speculated in vain that if they found out that we were not pretending to return to the army, and found that we did not set up an ambush against them, they would definitely immediately raise a large army and come to reap the benefits of the fishermen!"
With that, the scene was silent.
There was no sound of gaspping.
No one was even surprised.
But anyone with a brain knows that this is an inevitable situation.
It's just that they were subject to the orders of the Immortal Emperor and forced by the current battle situation, so they had to come here to participate in the war.
I have to sit back and watch the Khitan immortals reap the benefits!
Originally, the immortals, like the Immortal Emperor, still hoped to quickly pacify the rebellious army, and then turn back to fight a decisive battle with the Khitan immortal army. Unexpectedly, Li Ye brought the monks of the Buddha Domain to help in the battle, and it was no longer possible to win.
And right now, they are going to lose their lives, and if they don't wait for the Khitan immortal army to arrive, they will die here, who can take care of so much?
The Immortal Emperor asked in a deep voice: "You are my minister of the humerus, and now that the Immortal Court is in such a crisis, what advice do you have?"
Yang Jian didn't want to think about it, so he said: "Back to Your Majesty, the criminal minister thinks that the invasion of foreign races, we should fight for the outside world." As for our internal affairs, we can wait until we have destroyed the alien race, and then we can think about it in the long run. Otherwise, the Immortal Court will not exist, Kyushu will fall, and everyone will become sinners through the ages!"
It doesn't carry much weight.
By this time, who doesn't know that there is this option?
But with this choice, no one necessarily chooses.
After I die, I don't care if he floods!
When the immortals saw that Yang Jian only said these words, they couldn't help but show disappointment.
Unexpectedly, the Immortal Emperor looked up to the sky and sighed, and said sadly: "Aiqing's words, why don't I know? I am the lord of heaven and earth, why do I want to be a thousand-foot sinner? It's just ...... Now that the enemy is in front of me, I am helpless. In order to maintain the dignity of the Immortal Court, he could only fight hard. ”
Hearing the words of the Immortal Emperor, the eyes of all the immortals became a little strange.
What is the Immortal Emperor doing with this nonsense?
Yang Jian said: "Please Your Majesty Mingjian, the ministers are willing to follow Your Majesty and fight to the death with the Khitan thieves." ”
The muscles on the Immortal Emperor's face twitched for a while, and he blushed and scolded: "Shut up! Yang Jian, are you insulting me?! You also want me to listen to Li Ye's drive?! I am the Immortal Emperor, and I will never be humiliated by this!"
Yang Jian said: "Your Majesty, where do you start with this? Your Majesty is the Lord of Heaven and Earth, how can you listen to the orders of others?!"
The Immortal Emperor's eyes lit up, and his expression became extremely excited, as if he had seen the most courageous and loyal minister, "Yang Jian, are you willing to work with me to kill Li Ye, the thief?!"
If Yang Jian is willing to take the lead in the battle and is willing to die for the Immortal Emperor, he will set an example at this moment, and he will be able to play a role in rallying people's hearts, which is more effective than what the Immortal Emperor said.
Yang Jian said: "Your Majesty's words, where to start? Uniting to deal with foreign races is the mission of our team at the moment, how can we kill each other?"
Immortal Emperor: "......"
The mask on his face was gone, and he returned to his unfazed appearance, leaving only a look of majesty, "What the hell are you going to say?"
Yang Jian said: "The criminal ministers are brave, please ask Your Majesty to appoint Li Ye as the envoy to the north, and grant him the power to command the army of immortals, demons, and Buddhas, and fight against the Khitan immortals!
As soon as these words came out, the Immortal Emperor was stunned.
Fei Hong was stunned.
The immortals were stunned.
The army of the demon clan and the monks of the Buddha domain were all stunned.
Li Ye almost blurted out: There is still this kind of operation?
Handed over the power of the coalition forces to Li Ye, Li Ye can give orders at will, without worrying about someone hindering him, and he doesn't have to worry about someone stumbling behind his back.
The Immortal Emperor retreated to the rear, so naturally he did not have to be driven by Li Ye, preserved his dignity, and also avoided the danger of the collapse of the Immortal Court.
This perfectly solves the problem of Li Ye's fight with the Immortal Emperor and satisfies the core demands of the two.
However, the Immortal Emperor was willing to hand over his authority?
Li Ye is willing to accept the appointment of the Immortal Emperor?
......
Changan.
The three days of autumn rain took away the last trace of heat left in the summer. After the rain, the world is clean and free of impurities, and the air is fresh and cool, so you can feel comfortable when you take a breath.
The leaves of the locust trees floating all over the streets and alleys, announcing the arrival of mid-autumn, there are gradually more people walking around the streets during the day, whether it is Pingkangfang or Dongxi Market, they have restored the scene of BMW carved cars all over the road.
Autumn is a peaceful season, and although it is a little sluggish, it is also the time of harvest. Thanks to the hard work of the imperial dynasty, people who have been busy for most of the year, whether they are princes and nobles, or ordinary people, can fill their granaries here.
Spring is the season of farewell, outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, there are always tourists who are interested in traveling far away, there are endless sorrows; in autumn, the people who travel far away should also come back, the same long pavilion ancient road, should now be full of the joy of charging.
However, Li Ye is practicing for others.
The people he wanted to send off were Chu Nanhuai, Su Emei, and twenty True Human Realm cultivators.
After drinking the practice wine, it is time for those who have traveled far away to hit the road.
"Your Highness, don't worry, it's as short as ten months, and as long as half a year, we will return. Chu Nanhuai smiled and showed his old teeth that were missing front teeth. This old and unscrupulous one, after saying this, he added: "If the picture drawn by His Highness is correct." ”
Li Ye said: "It's hard to say that the details are perfect, but they are generally not bad. ”
Chu Nanhuai arched his hand, didn't say much, turned around and took a retinue into the air, turning into Changhong and leaving.
When Su Emei left, she turned her head and glanced at Li Ye deeply, there seemed to be something crystal in her water-cut eyes. But she didn't say anything, because the words she was about to say were swallowed back after she bit her lower lip.
Seeing the other party go away, King Qi poked Li Ye's arm and asked curiously: "When they go, can they really find grain with a yield of fifty stones per mu?"
Li Ye nodded: "As long as you are not mistaken, you will find it." ”
King Qi thought about it, and suddenly smiled charmingly: "Crossing tens of thousands of miles of sea, the risk is extremely great. And when you get to the place, you have to face the unknown power of cultivation. You see that Su Emei's little girl is resentful, and when she leaves, you don't want to hear you say a thoughtful word. ”
Li Ye sighed.
It's not that I feel guilty about Su Emei, but I think of the vast Pacific Ocean, the mysterious civilization on the other side, and I feel that the future is indeed uncertain.
Li Ye finally made up his mind and gave up the idea of reaching Central America and South America from the north along the coastline, and let Chu Nanhuai and others take the risk of crossing the Pacific Ocean.
With their cultivation, traveling thousands of miles a day is just leisure, there are many islands in the Pacific Ocean, as long as you follow the route marked by yourself, you can basically see the islands every day, and you don't have to worry about no place to rest and stay.
In case you don't see the island, you can rest on the sea with the magic weapon. The great monks of the real realm will not be starved to death.
But this is a monk's world after all, and who knows if there are any powerful monsters in the Pacific Ocean?
Because of this, Su Emei looked at him resentfully when she was leaving. I guess I felt that I couldn't come back, and I wanted to say something, but in the end, for some reason, I held back again.
She has always been gentle and demure, and she has never asked for anything, just silently giving on the side.
Li Ye let Chu Nanhuai and others take this risk, and he was also a little helpless.
If the situation in the Immortal Realm is like this, he must solve the problem of food and clothing of the Tang people as soon as possible, so that he can be promoted to the Great Luo Jin Immortal Realm as soon as possible, and truly have the personal cultivation that spans the Immortal Realm, instead of relying on the strength of the army.
"By the way, how did the Immortal Emperor agree to hand over the Immortal to your command?"
King Qi saw that Li Ye was thinking far away, probably because he was afraid that he would think too much and hurt his heart, so he took the initiative to change the topic and let Li Ye return to his thoughts, "As an emperor, in addition to retaining his personal guards, he handed over almost all the military power under his command, and it was handed over to one person, which is a big taboo!"
Li Ye smiled, "The general trend is mine, he has no choice." Yang Jian appeared in time, moving with righteousness, and he had already stepped down for the Immortal Emperor. Besides, didn't I also accept the canonization of the Immortal Emperor? Nominally, I was also his courtier, giving him enough face. ”
King Qi took out a folding fan and shook it, looking like a merry mastermind with a wisdom bead in his hand, "In my opinion, the Immortal Emperor must think that when the foreign enemy is cleared, he will settle accounts with you and divide the high and low life and death." ”
Li Ye also took out a folding fan, shook it gently on his chest, looked at the ancient road full of autumn mood, and said calmly: "It's exactly what I want." ”
