All the women in the room were smart people, and they immediately discovered something unusual from the conversation between the two. It seemed that the wine offering was not to help the emperor, but more like... to deal with him?
The younger generations like Xie Daoyun and Qiu Honglei were in the clouds, only Yan Xuehen was thoughtful.
Zhao Hao frowned and looked at the sacrificial wine: "Is it because of the previous dynasty?"
Zu An's heart moved, and it turned out to be true.
Sitting in silence while offering wine, Zhao Hao couldn't help but say: "When you were in the Meng Dynasty, you were also suppressed and ostracized. You were just a marginalized and idle prince. In terms of treatment, you were not as good as this Dynasty. Now that you are respected by thousands of people, you are not much better than when you were in the Meng Dynasty." Double?"
Except for a few of the girls in the field, their eyes widened. The sacrificial wine was actually the prince of the previous dynasty?
I have never heard of it before, and there are no relevant records.
Once this news gets out, it will definitely cause an uproar.
Jijiu shook his head slightly: "Do you think I am the one who cares about this?"
"Then it seems that you are still not willing to accept that your Chen family's power has been replaced by this dynasty." Zhao Hao sneered, "He is indeed a white-eyed wolf who is not well-raised. No matter how good he is to you, it will be useless."
"But I'm curious. You're already old and you don't have any descendants. Why do you have to take the risk of doing such a treasonous thing?" This is what Zhao Hao can't figure out the most. He is not a fool. He knows the identity of Jijiu. Sensitivity still gave him a respected status.
In addition to the fact that his cultivation is really high, it is also related to the fact that he has never married and has no descendants. It is difficult to worry about such a person.
Jijiu's expression was calm: "It's just a kingdom, so why would I care? But you absolutely shouldn't, you shouldn't attack her descendants."
"She?" Zhao Hao was startled, but he quickly understood who he was referring to and couldn't help laughing. "I heard rumors about you two in the early years. I never thought that you were still a lover."
"Love?" The girls couldn't help but glance at the sacrificial wine. They really couldn't connect the respected old man in front of them with those two words.
But Zu An's heart moved, and he thought about the time when he first arrived at the back hill of the academy. There seemed to be a picture of a lady hanging in the wine ceremony room, and there was a woman's figure drawn in it. Could it be that it was her.
"Ask what love is in this world..." Jijiu didn't deny it, but instead let out a long sigh, looking extremely sad.
Zu An had a strange look on his face, he was very afraid that he would say something like Li Mochou to make a life-or-death promise...
"That's beautiful to say," Zhao Hao sneered, "It's a pity that you love your sister-in-law!"
Hearing this explosive news, several people around him opened their eyes wide. Although they knew that this situation was not the time to eat melons, Jijiu's status was aloof, and his gossip made people want to stop.
"It's more about emotion than etiquette. I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I just wish I had known her so late." I don't know if it's because I'm older or because it's been so many years, but I've looked away from the aspect of offering wine. Although the other party's words were sharp, he didn't have any emotions.
"You haven't even slept with her?" Zhao Hao frowned, with a sarcastic tone in his voice, "If you like a woman, you will naturally want to get her. Your kind of vitriolic words are just a loser's self-comfort."
Jijiu frowned slightly, obviously what the other person said was too unpleasant: "Of course people like you don't know what love is."
Zhao Hao glanced at him with disdain: "I don't think you know what love is."
Sacrificial wine: "..."
Zu An almost couldn't hold back his laughter. The faces of several women on the side were red. He never expected that the two people with the highest status in the world would bicker with each other like street gangsters. However, currently, it seems that the wine sacrifice is at a disadvantage. .
Jijiu took a deep breath: "Back then, your father and grandfather just usurped the Chen family's power, and they also used poisonous tactics to make the descendants of the Chen family's royal family die mysteriously and violently one after another. Those little princes died one after another. I started I thought it was God's will that the Chen family had lost their moral character, but later I found out that it was all the fault of your Zhao family."
"I am a lazy person, and I was regarded as a libertine who did not do his job properly. But after all, my surname is Chen. Now that I know the truth, I naturally have to settle this account clearly.
"
Zhao Hao smiled and said: "After all, it's not because something happened to the descendants of that woman? But I can't figure it out. They are not your descendants, but the descendants of your enemies. You have to stand up for them?"
"My eldest brother and I are grudges from the previous generation, and the child is innocent." Jijiu adjusted his mood. Although he said it was just for the lover of the past, in fact, as a former royal family, what could he do? I can let go of the despicable usurpation of my country.
Zhao Hao sarcastically said: "You were a loser back then, and you are destined to be a loser now. I am standing here, what can you do to me?"
Jijiu frowned and said, "Yes, I didn't expect King Qi and the others to have done much to weaken your strength. In terms of cultivation, I'm still a step behind you when fighting alone."
"In this case, why bother?" Zhao Hao said, "It has been so long. You are now in a respected position in our Great Zhou Dynasty. This is something you could not compare to in the Meng Dynasty before. It is our Great Zhou Dynasty that gave you The opportunity for you to display your talents will allow you to gain success all over the world, so why bother worrying about the past?"
"I am not a petty person. You can pretend that what happened today has never happened. You will continue to be the sacrificial wine of the National Academy and the object of admiration of practitioners in the world. If you are still unwilling, I will give you a concubine and a beautiful maid. How about allowing you to continue the Chen family’s bloodline?”
Zu An was a little surprised. When did Zhao Hao become so easy to talk to?
But he immediately realized it. It seemed that the sacrificial wine was too strong. Even if it was slightly inferior to Zhao Hao, it shouldn't be too far behind. After a real battle, he would definitely have to pay a huge price.
Now that Zhao Haotian is about to die, if he pays a huge price, he may die early, so he naturally doesn't want to take the risk.
Moreover, the National Academy is so important. The imperial court, the army, even local governments, and the people all need the research and technology of the National Academy.
Jijiu sighed: "I have to say that your conditions are indeed very generous, and you are also a powerful emperor. It's a pity that everyone has different positions and cannot be changed later."
Zhao Hao's eyes narrowed, knowing that the other party had already made up his mind, and there was no point in trying to persuade him to surrender, so he gave up the idea of persuading him to surrender: "Then I want to see what revenge you have!"
After all, he was a hero of his generation. Although he was worried that a battle with Jijiu would cost him a lot, he would not hesitate to let the opponent take advantage of him if he had to fight.
The sacrificial wine smiled faintly: "Then let the emperor taste it."
As he spoke, he opened his hands, and his whole body suddenly floated into the air, and an invisible aura spread out from around him.
Immediately afterwards, the main peak where the entire Golden Summit was located suddenly flashed with a burst of blue light, which was the unique light of the runes.
Not only the Golden Summit, but also the entire Zishan Mountains and all the other peaks glowed with blue light almost at the same time. The ground shook and roared, the laws between heaven and earth circulated, and there was a simple and desolate atmosphere everywhere.
If someone looked from the sky at this time, they would realize that the entire Zishan Mountains formed a huge formation.
Compared with the momentum of Zhengyang Sect's mountain-protecting formation before, this formation was like a child and a strong man, completely worthless.
They were bombarding the Zhengyang Sect's mountain defense formation with siege artillery halfway up the mountain. Seeing that it was about to break through, all the civil and military officials turned pale in horror. Is this a huge change in the world?
Is it possible that the Zhengyang Sect is so powerful that the mountain-protecting formation was attacked, leading to the real formation behind it?
Zu An had studied "The Essence of Drops" before and was quite familiar with Feng Shui. At this time, he was keenly aware that the power of the entire Zishan Mountains seemed to be mobilized by this mysterious formation, which was similar to what he had mobilized in the secret realm. The powers of dragon veins are quite similar, but can be distinguished carefully, and there are great differences.
Yan Xuehen's eyes were full of brilliance. She was an expert in formations. She was really shocked when she felt this extremely mysterious formation. It turned out that the formation could be designed in this way. It was really amazing. She had never dared to do this before. Thought about it.
A trace of doubt first flashed in Xie Daoyun's eyes, and then his face changed slightly: "Why...how is it similar to some of the things I laid out a few days ago?"
