However, after the ecstasy, Zhang Rang's reason was not overwhelmed by the greedy desire.
He asked hoarsely: "Are you sure you can give me this power? Or will it not be controlled by you?"
"That's right, I'm not such an untrustworthy being." The black-robed being opened his hand forward, which was a psychological suggestion that could make his words appear more sincere.
"Of course, if you can't trust me, you can also find a trustworthy being to accept my gift. The choice is yours."
The black-robed being chuckled and gave another choice.
However, he looked at this scene with a sneer in his heart. He had already seen through the ugly appearance of these mortal emperors facing the power at their fingertips, showing both eagerness and uncertainty, fearing that others would frame him.
I don’t even think about why a mere mortal ruler needs to do his own calculations with his existence.
It's just some energy. To him, it's given to you, so there's no need to cheat on such a trivial matter.
Even if he uses less energy now, he doesn't bother to mess with such trivial matters. After all, as long as his strongest clone can come over, it will be a piece of cake to take down a giant dragon that is not in the legendary realm.
When he gets its adventure, the world will belong to him!
And if it really helps him complete such a big plan, then what if the mortal emperor in front of him becomes his own god in his own kingdom of God.
He is not his extremely treacherous old friends, and he would not do such an evil thing.
I'm so angry that I don't like it. Wouldn't it be more fun to destroy your dynasty with a casual blow?
So, what will he choose next?
Is he very curious?
Like the other ugly rulers he had seen before, would he accept his gift?
At this moment, facing the suggestion of the black-robed being, Zhang Rang also reacted. He lowered his head in confusion and began to think deeply.
According to the words of the mysterious being in front of him, this power must be extremely powerful. At the end of the day, it is more powerful than an ancient dragon man like him who can transform into the king of giant beasts. So who should it be given to?
Although this power may be poisonous, it is undeniable that it is a terrifying killing weapon. Once it is obtained by someone with double-minded intentions, it will definitely be a huge blow to Da Qin.
In this way, he naturally has to think carefully about the most suitable candidate.
That's right, Zhang Rang decided to give this power to others.
Although Zhang Rang also wanted to obtain this power himself, after some hesitation and consideration, he decisively refused.
Again, he is the emperor of Da Qin, and he must be responsible for all the people of Da Qin.
But once this power may eventually be limited by others, then a puppet emperor will only be a burden and harm to Da Qin, which is something he will never allow.
So although he wants power, it is certainly impossible for him to accept this power by himself.
In the final analysis, power can only be ranked third in his heart at most.
The first is naturally the Great Qin he built with his own hands, and the second is that he owes a lot to his wife. This is why he ignored the urging of many ministers over the years, only married Zhou Qingqing as his queen, and never took concubines. reason.
After pondering for a while, Zhang Rang suddenly realized that except for Wang Weiqin and the Queen, whom he trusted most at the moment, there seemed to be few candidates in his heart that he could truly trust...
Ever since the strong men in the new era had second thoughts, he knew that once a person has power, even if his character does not change at first, it will eventually change under the ravages of time, and even he is no exception.
The reason why he currently trusts Wang Weiqin is simply because over the years, when the Qin Dynasty was in turmoil, his actions and words made him gradually trust him.
However, at present, only General Wang cannot be this candidate. This is not because he is stingy.
But General Wang has already found his own position in the upcoming crusade - the driver of the dragon machine soldiers!
And this candidate is irreplaceable, because no one in the entire Great Qin can fully control a special and incomparable weapon like the dragon machine soldier except him.
As for the reason, it is because the dragon machine soldiers are different from other large weapons made purely from various metals or wood.
It is different from the dragon gun that is placed there and can be triggered by anyone.
It was a special weapon between metal, wood, and flesh. Just its production required Great Qin to spend countless prices and use countless taboo techniques to come into being.
And if you want to use this kind of weapon, the requirements are naturally extremely demanding. Currently, only General Wang can use it.
As for why General Wang was able to control it, it was also thanks to the fact that he had been to the deepest part of the Tiandu ruins and had some kind of adventure that changed his physique.
Speaking of which, the birth of the Dragon Machine Soldier was, in a sense, the idea of making such a weapon of war after the scholars of Great Qin studied the body of General Wang.
Therefore, in this case, how can General Wang become this candidate? Giving him power will only be a waste.
So, besides General Wang, does he have any other candidates to choose from?
First of all, this power must not be given to outsiders. Even if it is the loyal secret guard he has trained since childhood, he does not dare to be 100% assured.
He doesn't even trust such a loyal secret guard, so how can he trust other beings.
In this case, then we can only...
Alas, Zhang Rang, who sighed slowly in his heart, also had a look of guilt in his eyes, but then turned into determination.
Then, he suddenly raised his head, looked seriously at the black-robed being who was standing there quietly waiting for his answer, and asked loudly: "Your Excellency, you mean to let me choose where this power belongs, right?"
The black-robed being was stunned for a moment, realizing in his heart that the development of this matter seemed to be somewhat different from what he had guessed, but he still nodded and replied: "That's right, you can choose where the power belongs."
"In that case, please wait a moment while I call for someone I trust."
As soon as he said this, Zhang Rang nodded with satisfaction and left.
this……
Seeing that this mortal emperor really left without hesitation, the black-robed being was really stunned.
Although he already had a premonition from his previous words, he was still a little stunned when faced with this moment.
This is a powerful power given by him personally!
It is a power that can destroy heaven and earth!
How could he really resist this temptation and give up?
Isn't he afraid of being betrayed by the beings he trusts?
Still can’t understand that power is the most secure only within yourself?
Only when you have power can you have everything!
After a while, the black-robed being who came back to his senses looked at the direction Zhang Rang left and suddenly chuckled.
Clear laughter sounded in the flickering hall.
"Interesting, interesting, there are actually people who can resist this temptation, Zhang Rang, right? I'm a little interested in you."
At this moment, the beings from the other world really began to face up to this weak mortal emperor of the other world.
In so many years, this was the first time he encountered someone who chose the second choice.
I just don’t know how wonderful your expression will be if one day you are betrayed by someone around you?
At this moment, the being shrouded in black robes whispered in his heart.
…
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Zhang Rang, who left the main hall at this moment, went straight to the harem, aiming for the palace where Zhou Qingqing was.
Yes, his choice was to give this power to the person closest to him, and the person closest to him was Zhou Qingqing, who was his pillow.
Although I may feel sorry for her, but...
Alas, he really had no choice.
He decided that it was over, and apologized to her sincerely.
At the same time, if this power is really poisonous, then he will mobilize the whole country to retaliate against it at all costs and let it taste the anger from Great Qin.
He doesn't plan to live alone after that. After the whole Da Qin is settled, he will go to find her. This can be regarded as his last responsibility as a husband.
If this power is not poisonous, then everyone will be happy.
As for Zhou Qingqing's betrayal, this concept never appeared in his mind.
Logically speaking, this idea is a very abnormal idea for an emperor who attaches great importance to the world. It is basically impossible for such an emperor to trust anyone around him, and all potential threats will be dealt with in advance.
But he really didn't think about it that much, because after all, he was never trained as a future emperor like a prince from the beginning.
He doesn't know anything about the emperor's scheming.
At first, he was just an ordinary snake catcher. Due to a series of changes and the impulse that sprouted from his heart, he was pushed step by step to where he is today.
Everything you do comes from the original dream in your heart.
But no matter how big his dream is, he is still a living person after all. He also has his own selfishness and moments of vulnerability.
Facing the pressure from countless people throughout the empire, he sometimes has the urge to abandon everything and escape.
But he understood that he couldn't do this. What he was carrying was a heavy responsibility.
Even though he knew that as long as he let go, he could easily become a tyrant like the Emperor of Zhou and enjoy himself as much as he wanted.
But, is it really still him?
Therefore, he has both a rational side and an emotional side.
If one day comes, all the people closest to him will choose to betray him.
Then he admitted it, which could be regarded as repayment for her debt for so many years.
Sometimes, Zhang Rang also wonders whether he is crazy. He wants to live up to the world and live up to his ministers, but unfortunately there is no way to have both in this world.
I can only keep vacillating between the two.
While thinking about it, Zhang Rang also came to the palace of Empress Da Qin, Zhou Qingqing.
Looking at the exquisite door so close, Zhang Rang raised his right hand to knock on the door and froze.
At this moment, even he hesitated.
However, he froze, which did not mean that Zhou Qingqing could not see him in the palace.
It was late at night, and under the bright candlelight, the figures outside were so conspicuous.
"Squeak~"
Along with the sound of the door opening, a pretty figure appeared inside the door.
"Brother A Niu, you are back."
In an instant, the beauty smiled brightly, with deep joy in her tone.
In response, Zhang Rang responded hesitantly, scratching his head as if he wanted to say something, but got stuck for some reason.
However, for the person next to him who already knew the basics, Zhou Qingqing knew what was going on with just a glance.
She was considerate and took a few steps to the man, grabbed his hand, and whispered softly: "Brother A Niu, there is no need for this between you and me. Qingqing is listening."
It is precisely because of this that I am even more speechless.
Zhang Rang looked at his wife who never knew how to refuse and said silently in his heart.
But we have come this far, and there is no way we will regret it no matter what.
Otherwise, the enemy that Great Qin ushered in first might be another mysterious existence similar to a real dragon.
He didn't think he could have a good temper when facing someone who had tricked him.
He sighed slowly and gently took the beauty's wrist, "Let's talk while we walk. I will explain it clearly to you on the way."
"oh."
Zhou Qingqing responded softly.
…
A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Rang took Zhou Qingqing back to the previous hall, and he explained all the reasons to him along the way.
There is no doubt that Zhou Qingqing agreed to his choice without any hesitation, and even held his hand comfortingly.
"Your Excellency, I have already decided on the candidate. How are you going to fulfill your promise? Do you need me to recuse myself?"
As soon as he entered the hall, Zhang Rang asked loudly. At the same time, he raised the beauty's left hand, which was held by him, indicating that this was his chosen candidate.
In response, the black-robed being first shook his head, then nodded, and said: "There is no need for this. Since you have already decided, then I will give you this powerful power."
As soon as he finished speaking, the mysterious existence in black robes that was still far away disappeared in an instant. When it reappeared, it was already not far in front of Zhou Qingqing.
In response, Zhou Qingqing and Zhang Rang also stared at each other and subconsciously took a few steps back.
It is hard to imagine that with their current strength, they still cannot detect how the mysterious existence in front of them appeared in front of them in an instant.
However, this kind of performance also made them feel certain in their hearts, because the stronger the black-robed being in front of them was, the stronger the power they would be given later.
While thinking about it, Zhang Rang also took a few steps back gently to avoid affecting the next movements of the black-robed being.
But throughout the whole process, his eyes never left Zhou Qingqing's figure. Perhaps once he sensed something was wrong, he would quickly stop it.
As Zhang Rang retreated, the black-robed being also made new moves.
His body shrouded in black robes raised his head.
In the invisible hood, a pair of scarlet eyes lit up from the darkness and looked at each other with Zhou Qingqing.
Before he could react, a ray of light shot out from the eyes of the black-robed being and hit Zhou Qingqing.
In an instant, Zhou Qingqing closed her eyes and seemed to fall asleep.
At this time, he did not wait for Zhang Rang to react. He directly raised his left hand. Under the influence of gravity, he exposed part of his body for the first time——
A jade-white flawless arm.
In an instant, a glimmer of light appeared from the fingertips of his raised left hand, turning into mysterious lines, and gradually began to spread from his fingertips to the entire body.
In just a few breaths, the lines spread all over his body, and at this moment something beyond Zhang Rang's knowledge happened!
In just a few breaths, the black-robed being's entire body began to emit a hazy light, and then slowly but steadily transformed into a human-shaped light and shadow with a slightly illusory feel.
At this moment, the black-robed being lost its specific form and turned directly into a ball of extremely bright human-shaped light and shadow in the slightly dark hall.
"This, this is?"
For a moment, this bizarre scene almost made Zhang Rang scream out in surprise. Fortunately, he reacted at the last moment and suppressed the scream in his throat.
But even so, Zhang Rang was also filled with shock at this moment. He never thought that the black-robed existence he had been dealing with before was not a human being!
At this moment, Zhang Rang was confused.
He always thought that the existence of this black robe was a bit mysterious, but at most it was extremely powerful in terms of strength.
Perhaps it was an antique from the old era of the once destroyed Great Zhou. He even suspected that He was the founder of the Great Zhou, the legendary Zhou Gaozu!
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why He hates the real dragon so much, but who would have thought that He is not a human being?
What kind of existence is he making a deal with?
Not to mention Zhang Rang, who was extremely shocked at this moment and fell into a mental storm.
At this time, the black-robed being whose whole body turned into light and shadow took a step forward. In an instant, his entire body turned into a ball of light and slowly submerged into Zhou Qingqing's body.
The whole process is as if two drops of ink slowly converge into one drop when they are close, and it is as if the two are one and there is no obstacle at all.
And at this moment, the bright light in the entire hall disappeared, and the hall fell into darkness again, leaving only Zhang Rang and Zhou Qingqing, who had their eyes closed.
Zhang Rang looked around and couldn't figure out what was happening now. Where did the black-robed being go? Did it go into his wife's body? And has the gift of power ended?
At this moment, countless doubts appeared in Zhang Rang's mind. He wanted to get close to Zhou Qingqing, but he was also afraid of interrupting the strange ceremony. For a moment, he fell into an extremely tangled state.
Originally, if he had not seen the scene of the black-robed being turning into light and shadow before, he would not have known or cared about these mysterious and strange things, nor would he have thought that such a strange existence existed in this world. You must know that it is as powerful as a real dragon. For the time being, it still belongs to the category of biology.
After hesitating for a few minutes, Zhang Rang tentatively called out in a low voice:
"Qingqing?"
Unfortunately, no one responded to him.
Just when he had the courage to step forward.
At this time, wisps of light emerged from Zhou Qingqing's body again, and then in Zhang Rang's surprised eyes, a human-shaped light and shadow that was countless times weaker broke away from Zhou Qingqing's body. The next moment Slowly transformed into a mysterious existence shrouded in black robes.
As soon as it transformed into the shape of a black robe, the black robe suddenly stumbled and almost fell down.
At this moment, anyone could see that He was in an extremely weak state.
At the same time, as the black-robed being left, Zhou Qingqing's body also fell softly to the ground.
This scene was naturally seen by Zhang Rang who ran over and hugged Zhou Qingqing.
After taking a few hurried steps to catch his wife, his eyes suddenly became a little weird.
Just at this moment, the beauty in his arms also woke up leisurely and opened a pair of crystal clear eyes.
"How's it going? Are you okay?"
As soon as his wife woke up, Zhang Rang couldn't wait to lower his head and ask about her condition, fearing that something had happened to her.
In response, feeling the caring eyes of her husband, Zhou Qingqing also felt warm in her heart, and then shook her head.
She did not break away from his embrace, she just raised a palm, and a ball of light suddenly appeared from her palm.
As soon as the ball of light emerged, it exuded an astonishing aura, making the air around it appear vaguely distorted.
At this moment, anyone could see how terrifying this seemingly inconspicuous ball of light was.
At this time, Zhou Qingqing said: "I do feel that my power is countless times stronger now, and I don't feel anything wrong with me. I guess he is not lying."
After saying that, she then looked at the frail black-robed being, and then at Zhang Rang.
The meaning is naturally known without having to state it explicitly.
As soon as the two looked at each other, Zhang Rang understood what his wife meant.
He was also a little moved by this, but he thought for a moment and looked at his wife in his arms, and finally shook his head weakly.
Although he didn't know the true purpose of the existence of the black robe in front of him, Zhang Rang was not the kind of ruthless person who would do nothing but kill the donkey.
Regardless of his kindness as a woman or his indecisiveness, his nature has not completely changed after all.
He did not let go of his wife in his arms, he just turned his head and looked at the black-robed being who had something wrong and said:
"Thank you for your help. Now that the transaction between us has been completed, everything is up to you whether you want to stay or not."
"Don't worry, I, Zhang, am not a treacherous person. After some time, when our Da Qin has made all preparations, we will naturally start the real dragon's crusade. Zhang and his wife left."
After saying that, he directly picked up Zhou Qingqing's body from the waist and left.
…
"Interesting, let's count you through."
Looking at the two people who had completely gone away, the aura of the somewhat weak black-robed being standing in the hall had also changed, and he was no longer as weak as before.
He gently raised a hand and rubbed his chin and said to himself interestingly.
It was obvious that his previous weakness was all fake, and it was all just for testing.
But now, this mortal emperor from another world has passed the postgraduate entrance examination he created at the moment, and his character is indeed rare in his life.
Of course, there may be differences between the two worlds. It may mean that the people in this world are still in a simple stage, and are not as dark and cunning as the humans in his world.
After thinking about it, the black-robed being chuckled and then slowly disappeared.
