Zu An even despised himself. At a time when his life and death were at stake, he would have free time to think about such nonsense.
He was actually not sure whether the Forgiveness Hat's effect could work on the emperor. After all, the Emperor was the most powerful person in the world. It would be troublesome if there was any way to avoid the influence of the Forgiveness Hat.
Although he is not betting solely on the effectiveness of the forgiveness hat, it would be safer if it works.
While he was thinking wildly, the emperor was sitting on the dragon chair with his eyes closed and meditating. He didn't know whether it was the function of the forgiveness hat that worked, or whether he was perceiving the content of the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra".
But not long after, he slowly opened his eyes, his expression became extremely complicated, and after a long time he said to himself: "It's tasteless to eat, it's a pity to throw it away."
"Has the emperor realized the meaning of immortality?" Zu An asked cautiously. The spiritual mantra he left in his hat was naturally not the real "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra". After all, he could not be stupid enough to hand over his trump card directly.
Of course, the formula is not completely false, but nine points true and one point false. But even that one point of falsehood can completely destroy nine points of truth.
In the previous life, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was not for nothing. The story of Huang Rong using a fake "Nine Yin Manual" to fool Ouyang Feng into madness has long been familiar to us.
The emperor's cultivation level was too high, and he could spot ordinary fraud at a glance, so he didn't dare to change too much.
Even so, this is not something that can be modified by his level, but by Mi Li's handiwork. In this world, only her cultivation and knowledge can make it perfect.
Speaking of which, when Mi Li heard that he was going to tell her the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra", her expression was quite strange, and she didn't know what she was thinking at the time.
"How can there be such a cheap skill in the world that requires beatings to improve it." The emperor frowned and looked at Zu An, "You are often beaten too?"
Zu An replied: "Yes, I walked on the edge of life and death countless times, my life hung by a thread countless times, and I lost count of the times I was beaten."
The emperor snorted: "No wonder he developed such a mean character."
Zu An: "..."
Will MMP still speak?
He really wanted to jump up and give the other party a slap in the face, but considering the difference in cultivation between the two parties, he had a greater chance of being taught how to be a human being, so he gave up the idea and could only stare at the green hat on his head and use it. Q’s spiritual victory method.
The emperor then said to himself: "I am the emperor. Who in the world dares to beat me, and who can beat me? That's all. The key is that to practice this skill, you must abandon other skills and practice this one alone. What I lack most now is time, where can I find it?"
Zu An pretended to be concerned and said: "This skill is magical, and the emperor is extremely talented. Maybe he can practice it faster than others."
The emperor shook his head: "No matter how fast you go, there is a limit. It's too late. And the more you practice this skill, the more vitality it requires. It's astronomical. Even I am shocked. If you really want to reach the point of immortality, I'm afraid it starts from your mother's womb." It's too late to practice. No wonder the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" has appeared several times since ancient times, but I have never heard of anyone having real immortality. In the end, this is a skill that is destined to be impossible to practice to great success."
With his status, how could he abandon his shocking cultivation and start from scratch at this stall? Then those guys who were ready to take action wouldn't just rebel? What did he use to suppress it?
When the time comes for the body and the country to perish, I am afraid that even immortality in the sense of lasting fame will not be achieved.
If he can cultivate to the level of the best person in the world, how can he not see through these powerful relationships? Maybe other people will be confused by this gimmick of immortality, but it will definitely not be him.
The emperor glanced at Zu An with a strange expression: "Zhu Xie reported with all his heart that there was a strange thing, that is, you clearly had the opportunity to escape on the way, but you did not escape. Instead, you actively cooperated all the way, as if you were rushing to Beijing to die. He and I have never been able to figure out the reason, but now it seems that you knew that it was impossible for me to practice this technique, so you were so calm."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Zu An bowed with impeccable respect.
This is indeed what gave him the confidence to go to Beijing. If the emperor was in his prime, he would definitely run as far as he could and would never dare to risk entering the capital. But now that everyone knows that the emperor has only a few years to live, there is an operation. room.
On the contrary, the function of the forgiveness hat is just the icing on the cake.
"It's a pity that you made a miscalculation." Who knew that the emperor sneered at this time, "Although I can't practice the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra", you are younger than me and still have great hope. Do you think I can? Wouldn’t you leave a person alive who might live forever?”
Zu An was heartbroken: "Your Majesty, you just said that no one can truly practice this kind of technique, so how can I possibly achieve immortality by practicing it? If there was really any hope of practicing it, I would not dare to go to Beijing. "
In fact, he was not lying in this regard, because he himself felt that it became more and more difficult to make any progress just by practicing the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra". He also had the assistance of the Keyboard Man system, and he complained endlessly during the practice. For the first few magic formations of the fifth level, each magic formation requires hundreds of millions of anger points.
Not to mention that the anger value required for each magic circle in the subsequent realms has increased exponentially, making it impossible to achieve.
Ordinary people are even slower to practice.
Of course, now he has several other skills of the same level that complement each other. There may be hope for him if he really practices it, but don't think about it for others.
The emperor's breath was suffocated. He also realized that he had lost his composure. He was suddenly excited about the method of immortality, and then immediately understood the loss of immortality. Even his iron determination was disturbed, and he was so confused that his words were inconsistent. .
He sneered: "It's not a good thing to show off your cleverness in front of me."
Zu An replied: "I'm not trying to show off my cleverness, I'm just stating a fact."
The emperor looked at him deeply and then changed the subject: "What do you think of the prince?"
Zu Anxin wondered what kind of thing the prince was. Don’t you, a father yourself, have some skills?
However, he still did not dare to say that the prince was stupid. After all, no matter how selfless the father was, he would still feel uncomfortable hearing such words: "The prince's simplicity is quite ancient."
He almost cried, how easy is it for me to find such a euphemism.
The emperor was stunned, and the smile disappeared from his face: "You are quite cunning."
Zu An asked tentatively: "Did the emperor specially send Eunuch Li to lead me to see the prince?"
He had also been an emperor in the Yin Ruins, so he naturally understood the emperor's mentality. There was no need to be submissive all the time. Asking appropriate questions would be conducive to communication.
The emperor snorted: "That guy has been chopped into pieces and fed to the dogs."
Zu An's heart trembled, he didn't expect to get such an answer.
In fact, he had always felt that his encounter with the prince was a bit strange. Now the emperor's words revealed a meaning. He did not instruct Eunuch Li to take him near the prince.
Obviously Eunuch Li couldn't make his own decision, so someone must have instructed him to do so.
As for the purpose, it must be to get rid of him with the help of the prince or the princess. After all, the prince's virtue makes it easy for ordinary people to bump into him. The princess also has a bad temper and will kill people with a stick at every turn.
He was in a desperate situation and was being bullied by the crown prince and concubine. He might choose to take desperate measures and kidnap or even kill the crown prince to be buried with him.
Whether the prince killed him or he killed the prince, it would be beneficial to the mastermind behind the scenes. Obviously that person did not have the ability to arrange assassinations inside the palace, so he could only use this method.
But the people behind the scenes never imagined that they were not desperate, but had originally planned to meet the emperor to resolve the matter, so naturally they would not follow their ideas.
At this time, the emperor walked to the window and stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the mountains and rivers in the distance, with a trace of fascination flashing in his eyes: "Do you know why we arranged for you to stay outside the palace for one more night?"
Zu An hesitated to speak, and the emperor smiled: "It doesn't hurt to act smart. What I want to do next requires a smart person, not a fool."
Zu An then said: "This has always been strange to me. It stands to reason that if you stay outside for one more day, there will be more variables. Then assassins did come. As the most powerful person in the world, the emperor should not do such an unwise thing." thing."
The emperor snorted: "Stop flattering me."
Zu An chuckled, and then continued: "After meeting the emperor, I suddenly realized that the emperor used me as bait to attract all the disobedient forces to act, and then catch them all."
Previously, only the King of Liang and a few embroidered messengers were sent here. They seemed powerful, but with the temptation of immortality, their little strength could not stop the forces from all parties who heard the news.
Speaking of which, he was really ruthless. His arrangements along the way were not enough, so he went to the capital specifically to give those guys in the shadows another chance.
If he hadn't had all kinds of adventures, the grass on his grave would probably have grown taller.
The emperor then said: "But there must be some smart people among those forces, who would jump into a trap even if they knew it was a trap?"
Zu An replied: "The emperor has done a very smart job, it is not that obvious; and even if a few experts have doubts, it doesn't matter, because this is a conspiracy, everyone wants immortality, and those people definitely don't want you to get it, the emperor." Immortality, so even if there is a pit ahead, you have to jump."
The emperor looked at him with some surprise: "If the intelligence hadn't shown that you were indeed raised in the city, I would have suspected that you are an old fox who has been immersed in politics for decades, and you can see it so clearly."
"Blindly blindly blindly blind." Zu An chuckled. In fact, the other party was right. He had been an emperor in the Yin Ruins for decades, and these tricks were already commonplace.
The emperor then continued: "You are right. I did catch a lot of fish lurking at the bottom of the water this time. Many seemingly loyal frontier officials in the area have already turned over there. It seems that I have to find a way to help them." Move away. Also, there will be a blatant assassination in the capital this time, and the Murong family’s Lieutenant Sili will not have to do it..."
The Sili Xiaowei is responsible for supervising the central ministers and relatives of the emperor in the Gyeonggi area. At the same time, he has the responsibility of maintaining public security in the Gyeonggi area. He is similar to the head of the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Ministry of Public Security in later generations. He has a pivotal position in the court.
Zu An's head jumped. He vaguely remembered that Chu Chuyan had mentioned that her grandmother seemed to be from the Murong family. Damn it, she had ruined the wife's family.
The emperor looked at him with a half-smile: "What do you think I should do with you?"
Zu An chuckled: "Looking at how cooperative I have been along the way and helping to catch so many fish, I can just give him a Duke or Marquis or something like that."
emperor:"……"
Does this guy think that dukes and marquises are just cabbage, and he just gives them to them casually?
He snorted coldly: "I think your boy is quite smart. Just recently, my confidant eunuch died. You can stay with me and serve me as a eunuch."
Zu An: "???"
He subconsciously clamped his legs, always feeling chilly.

That’s it for today. I’ll make it up tomorrow.
