"My child, Chen Ke, has met his father."
Sima Ke raised his head with a flattering smile on his face. He didn't seem to be ashamed of the fact that he now considered a thief as his father. Instead, he felt very happy.
Of course, Sima Ke's character was not originally like this.
In the past, he had a high self-esteem, a deep chest, and even tried to trick Chen Yuan. However, he was beaten down by Chen Yuan time and time again. After that, when facing Chen Yuan, he assumed the most comfortable posture.
After all, people's bottom line is broken bit by bit.
He even sacrificed his mother and concubine. He had already risked everything. Now, under the threat of life and death, is there any point in worrying about something like that?
You know, Chen Yuan said that he would not leave the Sima family alive.
He felt that if he didn't do this, he would definitely follow in his father's footsteps.
He didn't want to die, he really didn't want to die.
The words his mother-in-law said before became the node for his rapid transformation.
Before, the mother-in-law said:
"Nonsense, isn't your father still standing there properly?"
At that time, he understood what his mother and concubine meant.
Whoever wins is the father!
Following Sima Ke's words, the surroundings fell into silence. Concubine Yang kept her head lowered and did not say a word. The eldest princess raised her brows, but did not say anything more.
He seemed to think that it was right for his brother to say such a thing at this critical moment.
Yang Huatian glanced at Concubine Yang with a half-smile, and then turned his attention to Chen Yuan. Sometimes only men can understand that meaning.
Li Suqing's eyes flashed, thinking of Chen Yuan's rumors. She thought they were false, but she didn't expect them to be true, and was exposed by Sima Ke.
To be honest, if Jingtai heard these words, he would definitely die with his eyes open.
Who can bear such shame and humiliation?
However, Chen Yuan didn't say anything, not even a hint, because he felt that this was a bit tasteless.
There is no need for this.
Now that Sima Ke came, Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment and looked around him with a serious expression.
"Brother Chen, can you allow me to say a word?"
Suddenly, the eldest princess Pingyang spoke.
"The eldest princess said so bluntly."
To be honest, Princess Pingyang had never been an enemy of him, and she had helped him hide his identity before, so he was not in a hurry to put her to rest.
"Brother Chen shouldn't have any intention of going to the capital in a fight now, right?"
"Why?"
"Haha, in fact, Brother Chen has already made preparations for it, but since I let you say it, I will just make a few guesses. It is very inappropriate to attack the capital now."
"What's inappropriate?"
"First, Brother Chen's current reputation has reached its peak as it spreads, and now he will only become the target of public criticism for destroying the imperial court.
Besieged by heroes who are determined to conquer the world.
Secondly, the centipede insect is dead but not stiff. Although the imperial court's background is completely gone, it still has some strength. There are still large armies gathered in various places in Zhongzhou, Bingzhou, Yunzhou and other places. Once the center of the imperial court is destroyed, these The army will be annexed by other forces to increase its strength, and Brother Chen is based in the south.
Nowadays, he can't reach out to the four states of the Central Plains. He can only make wedding dresses for other people.
Thirdly, the Taizu of the Sima family is still here. Although he did not take action for some unknown reason, he must have a plan. But once the capital city is destroyed, 90% of the time he will be provoked to take action.
After all, immortals are immortals, and their power is unpredictable. Brother Chen has gone through two battles. If he wants to kill an immortal, the price he will pay will be very high. "
"well said."
Chen Yuan nodded.
The eldest princess Pingyang was praised as being as good as a man. If she were a man, the other princes of Jingtai would definitely not be able to compare with her. What she is saying now is not a profound statement.
But to be able to see it in such a short period of time and list it one by one is indeed extraordinary.
But Princess Pingyang did not show any complacency at all and continued:
"So, I have the guts to ask Brother Chen to spare the lives of my mother and son."
"Um"
"The emperor's father has fallen, and the Great Yuan Dynasty has disappeared. The only people who can ascend the throne as the emperor now are the second and fourth emperor's brothers. There were too many constraints before, and some of my preparations were nothing.
But now, there is hope. "
The eldest prince Sima Qian has fallen in the aftermath, and Princess Pingyang has been paying attention. Now, only the second prince Sima You has escaped back to the capital.
"continue."
"If Sima You ascends the throne, he will definitely mobilize his power to flood Zhongzhou, turn it into an iron barrel, and use all kinds of power to protect the country.
Even if you ask Taizu, if this happens, although Brother Chen may not care, it will still be some trouble after all.
But if Ah Ke can ascend the throne, it will be different. "
"What's the difference?"
“Although Ah Ke will follow Sima You’s example, our real purpose is to leave Brother Chen’s nurturing place intact in Zhongzhou.
In the future, when Brother Chen's army is heading towards Zhongzhou, Ah Ke will give you the Zen position. In this way, firstly, your name will be justified, and secondly, you will avoid any loss. "
After hearing these words, Sima Ke's eyes suddenly flashed with light.
Does he have any hope of ascending the throne and becoming emperor?
"Why should I trust you?"
"Sima Ke is now called Chen Ke." Princess Pingyang looked directly at Chen Yuan and asked.
"not enough."
"Because we are restrained by you."
“No need”
If they were really allowed to return to the capital, with the Sima family's background, some of the restrictions would definitely be broken. As for the oath, they were not high-level warriors.
The oath is useless.
"Haha. In fact, the Sima family is basically finished now. Well, brother Chen, doesn't he want to see the Sima clan internal strife and fighting in the future?"
"hehe."
Chen Yuan nodded:
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
It's not that he is kind, but he actually came up with this idea when he saw the three of them, mother and son. To be honest, the Sima family has no popularity today, and its foundation has been ruined.
There is almost no chance, and the world's heroes will also keep an eye on them. It is just an archway to attract firepower.
Even if they regret it later, there is actually no problem.
Because, it doesn't matter.
But Chen Yuan still didn't want the Sima family to be united in this critical moment. Even if there was a slight chance, he would have to kill it.
Now, only Sima Ke and Sima You are qualified to compete for the throne.
And without Princess Pingyang, he didn't think Sima Ke could beat Sima You. With Princess Pingyang's assistance, there was still some hope.
"Thank you, Brother Chen."
Princess Pingyang bowed.
"My son. Thank you father. Don't worry, my father. I will definitely integrate the power of the Sima clan with the help of the imperial sister. I will be in the capital to welcome my father, Master Wang!"
Sima Ke. No, Chen Ke kowtowed repeatedly, grateful to Chen Yuan for not killing.
Concubine Yang lowered her head and bowed.
In fact, if there weren't so many people around, she might have pounced on him, but there were too many people around, and her son and daughter were all watching here.
She really couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
Chen Yuan stepped forward slowly, stretched out a finger, raised Yang Guifei's chin, and asked her to raise her head, with a faint smile and scrutiny in her eyes.
Concubine Yang's face turned red and she closed her eyes.
A smile appeared on Chen Ke's face, as if he was the one whose chin was lifted.
"Thin."
Chen Yuan said.
"Then I'll eat more in the future."
"Haha, okay, when I go to the capital next time, I hope you can be more plump. The lives of your son and daughter are all on you."
While Chen Yuan was chatting, Yang Huatian and Li Suqing were gradually moving away.
Just watch a little bit of the show and know the rest by heart.
"well"
"Okay, go back and continue to be your imperial concubine, not the queen mother."
Chen Yuan's lips curled up into a smile.
"Um"
"Your Highness."
"The child is here."
Chen Ke stood up immediately.
"Take your mother and concubine back."
"My child, please leave."
Chen Ke let out a sigh of relief and immediately stepped forward to help Yang Guifei leave, while Yang Guifei looked back at Chen Yuan several times with a complicated expression in her eyes.
"Why, the eldest princess still won't leave?"
Chen Yuan sat and watched Yang Guifei's mother and son who were gradually moving away.
"The situation in the capital is in chaos now. I still need Brother Chen's help?"
"explain."
"Surveying Division!"
"Um?"
"The military has been defeated, and only the Tianxian Division has returned to its form, and it is also the most important force fighting for the throne. Now the two divine envoys Wu Tianxi and Huang Tiancheng have fallen.
But the two divine envoys Xiao Jing and Zhang Yantong are still alive. With their help, the capital can stabilize faster, and I can be more confident in fighting the old guys from the clan. "
"They are members of the imperial court."
"That was true when His Majesty was not dead, but now that His Majesty is dead and the imperial court is gone, Zhang Shenshi's daughter is by your side again. I'm afraid he is waiting for you now."
"How can I help, repair a book?"
"No, just a message from my concubine will be enough. In addition, I will need a message from Sister Zhang to the capital in the future to reassure the envoy Zhang."
"Okay, Chen trusts you."
"good."
After saying that, the two looked at each other in silence for a moment.
Princess Pingyang looked directly at Chen Yuan and suddenly smiled:
"Why, Brother Chen is waiting for me to call you father too?"
"Haha." Chen Yuan shook his head:
"That's not necessary."
“This is the best”
Before the last word 'good' could be said, Chen Yuan suddenly heard a few words coming out of his mouth.
"Just call me daddy."
"dad?"
Princess Pingyang, who had gone far away, was thinking about what 'daddy' meant, but although she couldn't figure it out, Chen Yuan felt that with her intelligence, she should be able to think of its meaning.
"Why"
Chen Yuan shook his head. He could certainly feel the meaning that Princess Pingyang revealed intentionally or unintentionally, but this was really offensive.
stepfather and.
Hey, I think Chen, who has been doing good deeds throughout his life, didn't expect that he would have such a 'dilemma'. It really made him a little unsure.
I don’t know what Jingtai’s spirit in heaven will think.
Seize his kingdom, steal his concubine, and return...
Chen Yuan shook his head and stopped thinking about these nonsense. Instead, Yukong came to Taoist Tianxu and Taoist Lingxu, feeling Taoist Lingxu's mood at the moment.
Somewhat reluctant.
I had to do it before, but after the foundation left by the immortals in Shushan was really used up, I still felt a little uncomfortable and lacked confidence, even if there were three true kings in Shushan.
The difference between those who have the foundation of an immortal and those who do not have the foundation of an immortal is very big.
Inheritance is equivalent to nuclear weapons. You can not use them, but you cannot live without them.
Having a sword and not using it are two different things than not having a sword in your hand.
"Taoist priests don't have to be like this. In the future, Taoist priests will become immortals. Isn't it better than the heritage left by some immortals? We have to look forward." Chen Yuan stopped in front of a few people.
"Haha, that's what Demon Lord Chen said."
Taoist Lingxu nodded.
Without the official position, the title is indeed a bit awkward.
"Well, there will always be some foundation."
"Master Chen"
"Taoist Master."
Chen Yuan turned his attention to Taoist Tianxu. To be honest, he was a little surprised by the strength of this veteran. Originally, Taixu Gong, who had been hidden from the world for many years, had little strength.
At most there is some heritage left over from the predecessors.
But the strength it showed surprised him a little.
In his opinion, Tianxu's strength could even rival Li Kuangxiu's. If there were immortal soldiers, the top five on the Heavenly Ranking would not have no chance of fighting.
"You are a bit unreasonable."
"where?"
"Fellow Taoist Lingxu, please tell me, the conditions you gave to Shushan are also the state religion. I remember before, my Taixu Palace seemed to have also promised the state religion. In the future, no forces will seek refuge with you. All these conditions are the state religion, right? ?”
Chen Yuan shook his head:
"Taoist Priest, you are in trouble."
"Um?"
Taoist Tianxu frowned.
"The state religion that Chen promised must be the state religion, but it is not a lie. You think too simply. The state religion of a Central Plains empire is naturally not enough.
But what if the grasslands are flattened in the future, the southern border is annihilated, the East China Sea is suppressed, and the Lingshan Mountains are destroyed? "
Chen Yuan didn't give the two of them a chance to react. He looked at Dongfang deeply and said in a deep voice:
"Chen's ambition is very great, and it is not limited to the thirteen states of the Central Plains. In the future, I will definitely sweep across the world and create an eternal dynasty. Even if there are a few more state religions, the benefits will be enough."
"hehe."
"hehe."
Tianxu and the two laughed a few times. Although they didn't believe it, they still cooperated and said:
"Okay, I hope Pindao can see that day."
"yes."
"There will be plenty of time to think about it in the future, but not now. Chen hopes that Taoist Master Lingxu can return to Shuzhou immediately and control the situation for me. In addition, Taixu Palace will also fully support me, not just the Taoist Master."
No matter how the Taixu Palace declines, it is still a genuine immortal sect. Furthermore, just looking at Tianxu’s strength, one can deduce that the strength of this hidden immortal sect is actually extraordinary.
"good."
Having already placed the bet, there was nothing to hesitate about. Taoist Tianxu nodded directly and agreed.
"As well as Biyou Palace, Chen also hopes that the Taoist Priest can persuade Zhao Danqing to assist me."
"Pindao, let's try it."
"Chen believes in the eloquence of the Taoist priest."
"Actually, it would be more effective for the Demon Lord to go in person. With this power of victory, he would come to Biyou Palace to know what the irresistible trend is, but the effect is better than Pindao's empty words."
Taoist Tianxu chuckled.
"I have more important things to do."
Chen Yuan shook his head.
"What's up?"
Chen Yuan pointed to the east and said:
"After the battle with Jingtai, Chen had some enlightenment and planned to go to the east to find an uninhabited land and stay in seclusion for a period of time to improve his cultivation. If he doesn't enter the Yangshen, it's a bit unsatisfactory."
Lingxu: "."
Tianxu: "."
If it hadn't been for Chen Yuan's words, they would have forgotten that Chen Yuan's current cultivation level is still at the realm of god refining.
