Huixi, the imperial city of Yizhang, is under strict restrictions today. Even the messengers are not allowed to take a step into the city. The guards of the imperial city are all blocking the streets. Regardless of their official rank, no one is allowed to leave the house. The masters of cultivation in the imperial city are even more It came out in full force, surrounding the inside and outside of the palace.
"Rong An, in your opinion, should I hide in the depths of the palace to be safe, or should I patrol the city for a week to calm the people's minds?"
The main hall was deserted. Except for Chao Rongan and an old man wearing a yellow robe, there was no one else. There was only the sound of soldiers clashing in the distance and the trembling of armor. Apart from that, The hall was as quiet as a cold night.
Chao Rongan frowned, thought for a long time, and then slowly replied, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, a week's patrol in the imperial city at this moment can make the people feel at ease, but everyone in the world thinks that a gentleman will not stand under a dangerous wall. Since Your Majesty is a gentleman of the country, he naturally wants to save his life, so it would be better to go to the underground palace for a while."
Since the Five Scale Army is stationed in Nangong Mountain, information must be indispensable. Today, three of the Five Jue troops came out together, and there were flying swords coming across the border. From Chao Rongan's point of view, as the king of Yizhang, Naturally, we have to be cautious to save our lives. As for life and death up and down Nangong Mountain, Chao Rongan didn't care at all even though he had met the scholar once.
Emperor Quan rubbed his finger against the armrest of the imperial chair and smiled for no reason, "The word gentleman originally meant the king, prince, and heir. It was transformed into the current meaning by the ancient sages. It refers to those with high moral conduct." Gentleman. Does Rong An think that I can be called a gentleman now?"
Another unanswerable statement.
Fortunately, Emperor Quan did not ask Chao Rongan to answer, but asked and answered himself, "The so-called gentleman, if we follow the one who set the meaning of the word, he must always follow the word "virtue", which is too tiring. Even that ancient sage cannot be a gentleman all the time."
The old man is indeed very old. When he shakes his head and sighs, his movements appear much slower, but his eyes are still shining. "I think that the word "gentleman" refers to a temporary gentleman. For example, there are people at the border who bully others and do evil things. This generation, when faced with the rampaging horse thieves, was able to escape with his sword, risking his life to fight to the death with others; he is obviously a person who is usually as timid as a mouse. Seeing that the monarch was betrayed by his ministers, he took a ride to rescue him, but was killed by the rebels. It is also the behavior of a gentleman to be frightened to death."
"To sum up, this gentleman is in a temporary state. Just like you cultivators, you will one day be able to reach enlightenment and cultivate a thousand miles in one step. Only then can you be called a gentleman."
Chao Rong'an thought about it, but he didn't understand what Emperor Quan meant, so he had to listen with peace of mind and think about it slowly.
"But as the king of a country, how can you achieve the ultimate state for a while? One wrong step can lead to a thousand miles. The country is destroyed, the ancestral temples are destroyed, and the ancestors, rivers and mountains are handed over to others, all in a single thought. How can I be a gentleman?"
The old man stood up, patted the bun on Chao Rongan's head, and said softly: "So, I have nothing to do with a gentleman in this life. Naturally, I can't say that a gentleman does not build a dangerous wall. The walls of the imperial city are my own. The walls built by humans are extremely hard and strong, let alone dangerous walls.”
Before Chao Rongan could say anything, Emperor Quan pressed his hand to indicate that there was no need to stop him. When he was about to reach the threshold of the main hall, he slowly uttered a sentence.
"I passed by a shop in front of East Jiqing Street. I heard that the Hundred-Fruit Almond Crisp can be eaten with tea. There are hundreds of fruity flavors. Want to try it?"
On the day when the leader of the Five Jue came to the Nangong Mountain Sect, a flying sword crossed several countries and passed hundreds of miles outside the Yizhang Imperial City, while Emperor Yizhang Quan was patrolling the city in a colorful chariot.
After patrolling for two full hours, his face looked worry-free.
But when he arrived at the helm of the Boyu Gang, the old man stepped out of the chariot and took two steps in front of the gate of the Boyu Gang. Then he stepped onto the chariot and started traveling again.
"This Emperor Quan seems to be really courageous. Compared to the two saints who went to Qi Qiling, he seems to be more like a figure who can rule the world." In the main helm, there was a woman sitting impressively, with an expression on her face. Painting, but her demeanor is slightly charming. At this moment, she is holding a cup of tea alone, not caring about the faces of the other two people.
"Master, it's best not to speak like this," the middle-aged man said with an obviously gloomy look, "When you are in our Yizhang Imperial City, you naturally have to think carefully about your words, lest you spend half your life capsizing here, which is too unworthy."
"The master is joking," the woman put down the tea cup, licked her lips, and responded softly, "Heroes grow old, and heroes will eventually be heroes. Naturally, this foreigner like me is fascinated by it, and my words certainly have a hint of admiration. Besides, both of you here are masters. , and there are twenty or thirty practitioners in the front yard. Such a big support is not something that a little girl likes."
Within the courtyard, wild flowers bloomed vigorously, slowly rising from the incomplete bluestone bricks, and the fragrance was fragrant.
The courtyard is full of spring scenery, but murderous intent is everywhere.
"Don't be so restless. I don't want to take advantage of this time to act recklessly in Yizhang Imperial City. Although there are probably no five realms in the city, there are probably dozens of people in the four realms. Even if I want to talk to Xiu To avoid disadvantages, you have to choose a good time." The woman disagreed, stretched her waist, stretched comfortably, and said casually, "My little lady is here to reveal something to you. , I know that some of you have some friendship with Nangongshan, so I came here to inform you."
"After today, Yizhang is afraid that there will be no more Nangong Mountain sect. As for how many disciples can escape, it is only within the first thought of the Five Ultimates."
The words were frivolous and clear, but they hit the hearts of the old man and middle-aged man hard.
"There is no need to rush to refute," the woman clearly saw the twitching of their foreheads, so she spoke calmly, "Nangong Mountain is indeed the leading immortal sect in Yizhang, and the sect leader Wu Shuang is at the top of the world in swordsmanship. However, To compete with the Five Jue is still like trying to use a mantis as a chariot; with the abilities of the people up and down Nangong Mountain, they can at most survive the other two Five Jue. However, the leader of the Five Jue has already transcended the Extreme Realm. Even if several Extreme Realm members join forces, they may not be able to compete. You can firmly gain the upper hand.”
After saying that, the woman stood up, barely holding her waist. Standing up so slowly, she looked even more charming. She said goodbye softly, "What should be said, little lady, has told the truth truthfully. What should not be said, we will wait until two days later." , the news will be spread in Tulou and delivered to you two. At that time, I hope you can give me more money."
"They are all business people. They are well-informed. Compared with those few coins, they will definitely make more money."
The woman just walked Nana out of the courtyard and walked out of the alley alone, never to be seen again.
The tea cup that the middle-aged man held tightly in his palm did not drop it after all. Instead, he put it back in the center of the table and sat down slumped.
