Emperor Tianlu looked at Fangbie as if looking at a dead person.
"Since I ascended the throne, no one has ever dared to speak to me like this."
The ball is back in His Majesty's hands.
Who dares to make a deal with the emperor himself?
But at this time, Fang Bi was putting his own life and the 200,000 Japanese army on the balance, letting Emperor Tianlu choose which side.
This is almost a no-brainer.
But it was precisely because of this that Emperor Tianlu felt slightly angry.
"So shouldn't your Majesty be happy?" Fang Bie said calmly.
"After all, I just want to survive."
"If you want to live, why don't you kneel in front of me and beg?" Emperor Tianlu looked at Fang Farewell and said coldly.
"If begging for mercy is useful, then I'm afraid no one can be killed by your majesty." Fang Bie shook his head and said: "It is very uncomfortable to place one's life on the mercy of others, so I will not put myself in such a situation. Under the circumstances.”
"What you said makes sense." Emperor Tianlu nodded subtly: "So is this your plan?"
"What plan? I don't quite understand what His Majesty said." Fang Bie said with a smile.
Emperor Tianlu can be said to be the most intelligent person in the world. It is even said that Emperor Tianlu's problem is that he is too smart, but instinctively does not trust anyone.
Intelligence and suspicion are actually two sides of the same coin.
"You want Yu'er to return to Yanjing with a true identity, right?" Emperor Tianlu looked at Fang Bie and asked.
Of course Yu'er is Yan Yu.
Although it has never been made public, in fact, Yan Yu is the granddaughter of Emperor Tianlu, that is, Her Royal Highness the Princess with royal blood.
Of course, in principle, she can be called Her Royal Highness, but in practice, she has no status.
"Yes." Fang Bie nodded: "I must admit that His Highness Yan Yu is my first allegiance."
"In other words, all hive members owe their allegiance to her."
"That's the theory, but in fact, most of the hive now belongs to Qin, and the other part is controlled by Xue Ling." Emperor Tianlu looked at Fang Bie and said quietly: "Even if Yu'er If she can return to the hive, it will be difficult for her to become a queen again.”
To be precise, Yan Yu's current status is probably in a state similar to that of a deposed emperor.
Or rather deposed.
"Yes, the queen bee of the hive now is Xue Ling, and Xue Ling, by virtue of being Xue Ping's daughter, can indeed win over a large part of Xue Ping's old men." Fang Bie looked at Emperor Tianlu: "Also, Your Majesty has something I still want to ask about it."
"What's the matter?" Emperor Tianlu asked.
"But it is something that should not be asked, because this matter itself is a taboo." Fang Bie looked at Emperor Tianlu and said softly: "Where is Master Xue Ping? Is he really dead? Or is he? Are you saying that you are imprisoned somewhere with no way out?"
Emperor Tianlu looked at Fang Farewell, and finally grinned and let out a sharp laugh.
"Since you know this is a question you shouldn't ask, why do you still ask it?" Emperor Tianlu asked.
The emperor's voice was as cold as spring ice.
"Because you are the only one in the world who can give me this answer." Fang Bie said calmly, "Curiosity is what kills cats."
"Then I can only say that I have no comment." Emperor Tianlu refused to answer Fang Bi's question.
Fang Bie smiled and did not continue.
All questions are asked step by step. It would be very inappropriate for Fang Bi to ask this question about Xue Ping when they just met. However, after the two parties have exchanged several rounds of information, such questions do not seem so sharp. .
Especially after Emperor Tianlu had made a decision in his own mind, and under the premise that Fang Bie would not die, this question should be asked.
"In this case, today's meeting can be over. I have a hunch that we will meet His Majesty again next, but at that time, I am afraid that when we meet, His Majesty will kill me." Fang Bieqing said.
"Why didn't you say that you would try to kill me the next time we meet?" Emperor Tianlu looked at Fang Bie and said slowly.
Indeed, Emperor Tianlu would no longer kill Fang Bie here.
Not only would he not kill him, he would also give Fang Bie some protection so that the young man could return to Goryeo and carry out his plan.
Emperor Tianlu believed that what Fang Bi said was true.
Even if he didn't know all the details of Fang Bie's plan, it was almost absolutely true that he could use the help of Zhou Dynasty to destroy Japan's 200,000-strong army.
"I'm not sure. Besides, I also believe in the existence of destiny." Fang Bie said with a smile.
The so-called destiny means to receive orders from heaven and live forever.
All emperors have destiny when they succeed to the throne. If their merits are shallow, they will die and the country will be destroyed. But if their merits are deep, they will die in peace.
For every emperor, they are willing to hear such words.
Because I am the emperor.
I am the father of all people in the world.
Saying this, don't turn around and walk out of the corridor.
The young man has met the person he met and asked the questions he wanted to ask. Since staying here has no meaning and may even increase the risk, Fang Bu will choose to leave immediately.
Emperor Tianlu did not persuade him to stay.
He just watched Fang Bing's back disappear, turned around, and sat back in that seat again.
The old man stretched his body and almost completely lay down on the large seat.
It seemed like a long time passed.
When there was no movement in the entire hall, Emperor Tianlu finally spoke slowly.
"What do you think?"
Yes.
There has always been a third person in this hall.
But if he doesn't want people to know, even if he is stronger than Fang Bi, there is no way to detect his existence.
This is actually the reason why Emperor Tianlu chose to meet Fang Bing here.
Because he didn't want that person to leave here, but he really wanted him to participate in this meeting.
So this choice is the best and only choice.
"I don't have eyes to see with." Xue Ping's deep voice came from the wall: "But I still have a pair of ears."
"Then tell me what you heard." Emperor Tianlu looked at the wall in front of him and said calmly.
"I heard that His Majesty wanted to kill Fang Bie at least three times, but Fang Bie never had any murderous intention towards His Majesty." Xue Ping said in the wall.
Emperor Tianlu couldn't help but laugh.
"Yes."
"The first time was when he rejected my offer."
"The second time was when he planned to use the 200,000 troops as a bargaining chip in the transaction."
"And the third time was when he mentioned you."
Saying this, Emperor Tianlu looked at the wall: "Let me ask you a question, that is, if you make a sound at that time, with the strength of the two of you, are you sure you can escape from here?"
Xue Ping smiled bitterly in the wall: "Your Majesty, please don't ridicule me. Now I am far from the strength I had at my peak. There is no way I can pose any threat to Your Majesty."
"At least, even if Fang Bie mentioned Xue Ling and my name in person, I still didn't make any move. This is a way to prove my innocence."
Emperor Tianlu looked at the wall where Xue Ping was hiding: "Now that you have fallen into such a situation, what is the point of proving your innocence?"
"Of course it makes sense." Xue Ping said calmly: "Now I have no way to live in this world as Xue Ping, because His Majesty never makes mistakes."
"But even so, if Your Majesty really locks me here for decades until I die of old age, of course I would like to thank Your Majesty for sparing my life because of our old friendship, but I still prefer to see the sunshine outside. "
"It's just that I know that if one day I really see the sun, then it will probably be the time when I really want to die."
Xue Ping talked about his life and death without any emotion.
It seemed like he was talking about something very ordinary.
"So you want to come out?" Emperor Tianlu asked calmly while sitting on the chair.
"Of course I do, but the person that Your Majesty is most afraid of in this world is me." Xue Ping sighed: "No matter how I prove my loyalty to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will always be afraid of me."
"Really?" Emperor Tianlu couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If you hadn't betrayed me first, how could I have used such thunderous means?"
"Just now, Fang Bu was still hinting to me that such a big mess in the hive was all caused by your loss of position."
"But at the same time, even if you have lost all contact with the outside world, the secrets you have laid out before are still playing their role. Even I don't know how many of Jin Yiwei and Dongchang still maintain contact with each other. Your loyalty.”
Emperor Tianlu looked at the wall and said in a deep voice: "I have absolute reasons to kill you."
"But I am your majesty's last friend." Xue Ping said with a bitter smile in the wall: "Although it is really unfriendly to meet friends in this way, I still want to thank your majesty for allowing me to talk to you. Opportunity."
"All friends in this world are just exchanges of interests at different levels." Emperor Tianlu said in a deep voice: "I will spare your life just because you are of little use to me."
Xue Ping said nothing.
At this time, if he does not have the sense to say that his little use is not worth living in this world.
Then Emperor Tianlu can really expel himself from this world.
At least for now, Xue Ping is still very interested in living a little longer in this world even if he is barely alive.
Because during his dark days, some very interesting things suddenly appeared.
After a short silence, Xue Ping said calmly: "Thank you for your kindness and reason."
"It's as if His Majesty has spared Fang Bing's life now."
"Then what suggestions do you have next?" Emperor Tianlu asked.
"Just proceed as planned." Xue Ping said softly.
"Get ready for Ding Kuyu to come to Beijing."
…
…
Yes.
There has always been a third person in this hall.
But if he doesn't want people to know, even if he is stronger than Fang Bi, there is no way to detect his existence.
This is actually the reason why Emperor Tianlu chose to meet Fang Bing here.
