【Chapter 22】The Immortal Emperor's Scheming
Under the guidance of the guards, Li Xiaochen came to Princess Mibo's temporary residence. Pushing the door in, I saw that the princess of the demon clan was bored this day, lying on the windowsill in a daze. Hearing Li Xiaochen's footsteps, Princess Mibo looked back, and suddenly showed joy: "You're back!"
Li Xiaochen nodded, pulled a chair, sat down beside her, and said, "Not long ago, the Immortal Army destroyed more than 100,000 soldiers of the Demon Army. Now there are only 150,000 or 60,000 left in the demon army. ”
Princess Mibo's expression suddenly darkened: "It must be a good thing you did again? It is really worthy of General Tianmeng, in less than a month, you have slaughtered 600,000 demon troops." Awesome, awesome!"
Li Xiaochen heard the sarcasm hidden in her words, so he smiled and said, "The more you hate me, the better." ”
"Hmph, you don't want to provoke me with these things. Princess Mibo puffed out her cheeks, "You haven't forgotten the previous agreement, have you? You said that you would do those things with me when you come back." It's time for you to keep your promises. ”
Li Xiaochen said mischievously: "I'm teasing you." That's all. ”
"You! You don't keep your word, you go back on your word...... You are still a famous handsome! How can a big husband regret his words!"
"I'm just cheating. What can you do with me? I have deceived so many soldiers of your demon army. You should hate me. Why do you have to fight to the death?"
"Who said I don't hate you anymore? I hate you to the core, and I want to squeeze you out! Let you die in bed, so that the demon army will be invincible!"
"That's all you have to do. Li Xiaochen shook his head and changed the topic, "Tell you about business." Now the gap between the immortal army and the demon army has become smaller and smaller. It's almost time for you to make a difference. ”
"What do you want to do......" Princess Mibo gestured with her hands to protect her breasts, "I will never help you to mutilate my kind." ”
Li Xiaochen laughed: "I have communicated with your army's General Narcissus. Her attitude was clear. Even if you are sacrificed, the Demon Army will never give up attacking the Ancient Immortal Realm. But I know you still have value in trading. If you have the chance, the demon army will still go out and snatch you back. So I want to use you as bait to lure out the demon army. ”
"I won't help you!" Princess Mibo shook her head desperately, refusing to die.
"I don't need your consent. Now you are my captive. I'm going to tie you up and throw you somewhere. You can't help it. Princess Mibo, you have no choice. Instead of struggling in vain, close your eyes and enjoy. ”
"You...... You!" Princess Mibo trembled with anger, her eyes widened, and she glared at Li Xiaochen angrily, "It turns out that Tianmeng is such a despicable villain!
Li Xiaochen said disapprenantly: "Soldiers are not tired of deceit, so how can they be despicable? This is all in terms of different positions. As far as the demon army is concerned, I am heinous, unspeakable, despicable, treacherous and cunning...... For the immortal army, I am resourceful, strategic, and victorious. Actually, it's just a meaning. ”
Princess Mibo gritted her teeth and said, "Tianmeng, you wait for this princess! I am also the princess of the Heavenly Demon Clan." If my father knew that I had been so humiliated by you, he would definitely have torn you to pieces! The entire Ancient Immortal Realm would be reduced to ashes!"
Li Xiaochen didn't have a verbal dispute with her: "Then ride a donkey and read the record book, let's see." ”
As they were talking in the house, the guards outside overheard the identity of Princess Mibo. In his heart, he was surprised, so he went to report to the Immortal Emperor.
At this time, the Immortal Emperor was thinking about the means to deal with Tianmeng, and at the same time drank the wine. When he heard that the guards were coming, he was shocked and secretly wondered: The woman that Tianmeng brought back turned out to be the princess of the Heavenly Demon Clan? Why did he deceive me to my face? This is a big or small question. If it is not handled well, Tianmeng is accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason. At the moment, he has to use him to repel the demon army, and he can't openly tear his face with him. But we can't sit idly by. Otherwise, there will be a cascade of undesirable effects. Especially at this moment when the two armies of immortals and demons are anxious, they must be treated with caution.
The Immortal Emperor pondered for a while, and then said to the guards, "Go and call Tianmeng to me." ”
The guard answered. It didn't take long for Li Xiaochen to come to the Immortal Emperor.
The Immortal Emperor didn't look sloppy, and said directly: "Tianmeng, I heard that the woman you brought back is the princess of the Heavenly Demon Clan, but is there such a thing?"
Li Xiaochen felt a pang in his heart, thinking that he must have been talking to Princess Mibo in the house just now, and accidentally leaked the news. The Immortal Emperor was able to find out so quickly. It seems that there should be a lot of Immortal Emperor's henchmen around him.
After figuring it out, he looked calm and replied truthfully: "She is indeed the daughter of the demon king Bo Xun, Princess Mibo." I didn't mean to deceive the Immortal Emperor. It's just that her identity is special, and it's still useful for me to keep it. To deal with the remaining demon army, you still need to use her as bait. ”
The Immortal Emperor waved his hand and said unhappily, "I don't care what you want to do with her." You should be well aware of the consequences of this getting out. The immortal army is now like a rainbow. From top to bottom, all of them are brave. At this moment, the remarks that Tianmeng is harboring the enemy princess are bound to shake the hearts of the army. I can hide it for you. But you've made a mistake after all. Do you admit it?"
"I don't think I'm at fault. The way of using soldiers lies in the unpredictable. Princess Mibo is a good card in my hand. I had to protect her and fight her out if necessary. The reason why I concealed it and didn't report it was because I was afraid that the immortal army wouldn't understand, so I went behind my back and secretly killed her. ”
"Oh my God, you are so foolish, if you bring her back, tell me the truth, I may be able to keep you. But it's too late now. This matter can be concealed for a while, but it cannot be concealed for a lifetime. Sooner or later, the soldiers of the Immortal Army will know that you once hid the princess of the Heavenly Demon Clan from everyone. Rumors can be said that no one will believe your true intentions. When the time comes, everyone will only think that you are greedy for the beauty of the princess of the Heavenly Demon Clan, so you secretly took her with you and enjoyed it yourself. It's a matter of honor, and this kind of thing is really unclear. ”
Li Xiaochen chewed on the meaning of the Immortal Emperor's words repeatedly, and suddenly understood. This guy's words are very clever, and there are almost no traces. I'm afraid others won't be able to hear the meaning of the words. If the Immortal Emperor really wanted to hide it for him, why did he have to say anything that he couldn't hide it for a lifetime. This is a hint to Li Xiaochen: Now your handle is in my hands. If you want me to hide it for you forever, it depends on whether you can be a human being.
The Immortal Emperor is still the Immortal Emperor. You can't bully outsiders, so you will close the door and fight in the nest. At present, the war between the two armies of immortals and demons is not over, and this bastard immortal emperor has begun to think about how to get rid of him. It's chilling to be so jealous!
Li Xiaochen sighed heavily and said, "Once the war is over, I will return to the human realm and set foot in the ancient immortal realm forever." In this case, even if there are any bad rumors, it will not affect me. If I do this, will the Immortal Emperor be satisfied?"
"Well, look at what you say...... It's like I'm driving you away. The Immortal Emperor hurriedly went over and pulled Li Xiaochen to his side, and personally poured wine for him, "I trust you 100% Tianmeng, and I definitely have no intention of picking people." Don't think about it. As soon as the war is over, I will give you the title of knight, and give you gold, silver, jewelry, and tens of millions of beauties. I want all the immortals in the Ancient Immortal Realm to know that you Tianmeng is our Optimus Pillar. Without you, there would be no Ancient Immortal Realm. All military power will be handed over to you. I won't touch any of my soldiers, and it's up to you to straighten things out. I beg you not to be angry. You can stay here in peace. Whoever dares to say that you are not good, I will punish him immediately!"
Li Xiaochen secretly scolded the Immortal Emperor for being hypocritical, but on the surface, he still had to pretend to be grateful: "Thank you Immortal Emperor for your love." It's just that I'm used to living in the human world, and I've not been back here for long. I appreciate your kindness. ”
"Tianmeng!" the Immortal Emperor suddenly grabbed Li Xiaochen's hand tightly, "I won't let you go this time." I just lost my words. I would like to apologize to you if I have caused you an unpleasantness. I'll keep this a secret for you. You can do whatever you want to do with that princess of the Heavenly Demon Clan. I promise that this will not reach the ears of the Immortal Army. ”
If Li Xiaochen hadn't learned about the Immortal Emperor's personality through the memories of his previous life, he would really think that what he said at this moment was all from the bottom of his heart. The expression of the Immortal Emperor, this line, can be the actor. The hints are so subtle that ordinary people can't hear anything wrong at all. But the more the Immortal Emperor pretended to be retained, the more he hoped that Li Xiaochen would be able to understand current affairs. The temperament of the Immortal Emperor, Li Xiaochen still knows a little bit about it.
Princess Mibo's identity was revealed, and the Immortal Emperor had a handle in his hands. How the rumors spread, he can also control the rhythm. If Li Xiaochen didn't know how to advance or retreat now, in the future, the Immortal Emperor would use rumors to ruin him and force him to leave the Ancient Immortal Realm through the mouth of Youyou. At that time, if the Heavenly Demon Clan invades again, the Immortal Emperor only needs to pretend to be innocent, put all the fault on others, and then invite Li Xiaochen back.
After so many years, the Immortal Emperor is even darker than at the beginning.
However, Li Xiaochen had no intention of staying in the Ancient Immortal Realm. He didn't want to be involved in these intrigues. The Immortal Emperor wants to release the military power, and give it back to him after the war. Staying in this kind of place, it is better to return to the human world and have a good time with Mi'er and Yufei.
"Immortal Emperor, I have made up my mind. You don't have to persuade anymore. Li Xiaochen simply cooperated with him, and then got off the donkey, "If you feel sorry in your heart, reward me with a little more gold, silver and jewelry, and let me be rich and rich in the human world." ”
The Immortal Emperor slapped his thigh on the spot, and he was almost about to jump up. Fortunately, he has so many years of experience and immediately regained his composure. After patting his thigh, he held Li Xiaochen's hand tightly and said regretfully: "I originally wanted to sit on the throne of the Immortal Emperor with you and let you enjoy the scenery." Alas, since you have decided, I will certainly treat you well, and give you countless money and jewels, and grant you a lifetime of glory on earth. If you're tired of staying down there, it's also great to come back and see us once in a while. Don't forget, this will always be your hometown. We always welcome you back. ”
Li Xiaochen sneered in his heart, but he had to force a smile: "Then thank you Immortal Emperor." ”
