In the border town, the discussion about the exploration of the ancient tomb was concluded and the time was set.
Far away in the secret room of the palace in Daqian Imperial City, the emperor finally got news about the border town.
Due to the relatively long distance, the information was relatively lagging behind. The news from ten days ago was only now transmitted back to the Imperial City.
He was in seclusion in a secret room, sealing off his own energy and spirit, in order to lock in the energy of life as much as possible so that he could live for a few more years.
But after receiving the news from the border town, he was so angry that his energy and energy fluctuated violently on the spot. A mouthful of old blood rushed straight into his throat. He couldn't restrain himself at all and spurted it out.
The blood spurted out far away and onto the floor of the secret room, staining a large area red.
His wrinkled old face was twitching, his cloudy eyes contained extremely cold murderous intent, his withered body was constantly shaking, his withered white hair was disheveled, and his whole body was full of hostility, which made him look scary.
The father-in-law who came to report the news was so frightened by such an emperor that his whole body became cold. He felt as if the cold air was filling his bones. His body could not stop trembling. He lowered his head and trembled with fear. He did not dare to breathe out.
"Is this news reliable?"
The emperor took a deep breath, trying his best to control the anger and violence in his heart, and his voice was low and slightly hoarse.
"Back to the Emperor, the news is reliable. People from the academy witnessed this with their own eyes in the border town..."
The father-in-law folded his hands in front of him, bowed his head, and answered carefully.
"Asshole! Asshole!"
The emperor, who was trying his best to restrain his anger, finally couldn't suppress the rage in his heart. His white hair exploded like a crazy old lion. He stood up suddenly, flicked his sleeves, and violent energy surged out, destroying the secret room. Everything inside was shattered.
The surging true energy was rushing back and forth in the limited space of the secret room. The impact was such that the father-in-law, who was half a step into the realm of tyrant saint, pressed his entire body against the wall. He tried his best to resist the impact of the true energy. He still felt his internal organs vibrating. It seemed as if it had been displaced, and the blood was boiling.
He was horrified.
Even if the emperor's physical condition has declined to this extent, the zhenqi released in anger still has very terrifying power. Even a half-step tyrant like him in his heyday cannot bear it.
"Your Majesty is worthy of being a half-step tyrant in the legendary realm!"
The father-in-law was horrified in his heart. Practitioners with high talent growth were really terrifying. In the same realm, there was no doubt that they could crush those with low growth.
He didn't dare to speak out, so he could only bear it silently, as his energy and blood rushed back and were about to flow out of his mouth and nose.
At this time, the emperor finally calmed down from his violent state.
"emperor."
The father-in-law immediately stepped forward.
"Eunuch Gao, go to the Royal Academy immediately and ask the dean to come to the imperial study to see me!"
"Old slave, you obey!"
Eunuch Gao quickly exited the secret room and left in a hurry.
The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, his face covered with wrinkles like old tree bark filled with gloom, and he walked towards the imperial study.
He didn't wait long in the imperial study room when Eunuch Gao hurried over with an old man with gray beard and hair.
"I pay my respects to the Emperor!"
"If you love me, I won't give you any gifts, but Eunuch Gao will give you a seat!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The president of the Royal Academy sat down on the chair brought by Eunuch Gao.
"The emperor summoned me, but it's about the border town?"
"Yes, that's exactly why." The emperor's eyes were cold, his anger was rising, and he said in a cold voice: "I have made countless calculations in my life, but I only failed twice. The first was my promising son Prince Ning, and the second This is Wuxie this month!"
"emperor……"
The president of the Royal Academy hesitated to speak, not knowing how to respond.
He could tell from the emperor's tone that he felt a sense of shame about this matter.
The majestic king of a country holds the power of life and death. He is aloof and has controlled civil servants and generals for thousands of years. He has known countless people, but now he has been tricked by a young man.
"That Yue Wuxie played me, you, and Prince Ning around, and we were like dolls in his hands! I, Prince Ning, and Princess An Ning all lost to him!"
"Your Majesty, the boy named Yue does have some strategies. He was able to achieve this point. In fact, it can be said that he hit it by mistake. If it weren't for your health, Your Majesty, you would not choose to fight in this way, nor would you do this. Believing it easily is a last resort. In terms of strategy, there is a huge gap between the boy named Yue and you, the emperor!"
"Well, your words make sense."
The emperor stroked his white beard and nodded slightly, feeling quite satisfied with these words.
Although he knew very well that the dean of the Royal Academy was flattering and flattering him, this did not prevent him from liking to hear such words.
Especially when you are deceived by a young practitioner and feel extremely unbalanced, you need this kind of words to comfort your angry and violent emotions.
"My dear, please immediately send people to Qingyun and capture the entire Qingyun for me! By then, I'm not afraid that Yue Wuxie will not submit!"
"This..." The dean of the Royal Academy looked embarrassed and said, "Reporting to the emperor, Qingyun has already left the building."
"What did you say?" The emperor's wrinkled old face kept shaking, and he said coldly: "All the hundreds of thousands of people in Qingyun have left?"
"Your Majesty, all the people in Qingyun have left, and even the graves of the deceased members of the sect have been moved..."
boom!
As soon as the president of the Royal Academy finished speaking, there was a loud noise, and the table in front of the emperor fell into pieces, and sawdust splashed all over the floor.
His chest heaved violently, and a streak of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood again.
Yue Wuxie!
That kid was so hateful that he couldn't vent his anger, so he could only hold it in his heart!
Not only did he let Qingyun's people leave early, but he also asked Qingyun's people to remove the graves of all the dead in the past generations, so that not a single hair of Qingyun's hair was left.
"Your Majesty, please calm down and keep your dragon body!"
The dean of the Royal Academy couldn't help but feel extremely worried when he saw blood spilling from the corners of the emperor's mouth.
The emperor's health is not good to begin with. If this happens, the situation will probably deteriorate more quickly...
The atmosphere in the imperial study room was very depressing. After a long time, the emperor took a deep breath and said: "My beloved, Yue Wuxie must not be kept! His performance is too terrible. He is now standing with Prince Ning, He has become my enemy, if I give him some more time, my country will not be protected!"
"Your Majesty, Yue Wuxie first offended the Haihe clan in the border town and killed the young masters of the Haihe clan in the street. The Haihe clan would never let it go. On the battlefield, he killed millions of Wu'an troops, and Wu'an hated him to the core! Entering the ancient tomb this time, whether it is the Haihe clan or the Wu'an dynasty, they will definitely kill him with all their strength!"
"Ai Qing is right, it is true, but I can't place my hope on others, so we must be fully prepared for killing Yue Wuxie! In this way, you can ask several powerful people from the academy to go there in person and hide their identities Different from your real age, pretend to be young to avoid attracting attention. After entering the ancient tomb, look for opportunities to kill Yue Wuxie!"
"Remember, don't attack him head-on! Even if you get rid of the powerful man, you can't kill him head-on. The best time is to wait for the strong men from the Haihe tribe or Wu'an to restrain the Blood-maned Lion Dog Beast King! "
"My lord, I obey!"
The dean of the Royal Academy had long wanted to take action against Jun Wuxie, but he didn't take the initiative to say it out loud.
Such a long time had passed, but every time he thought about kneeling down to see that boy off, he still felt a deep sense of shame, suffocating him like a thousand arrows piercing his heart.
"By the way, where did the entire Qingyun clan go?"
"Reporting to the Emperor, according to the information we received, they are heading towards the border town. Judging from the time, they should have arrived at the border town by now."
When the emperor heard this, his eyes flashed coldly: "The ancient tomb is opened. After Yue Wuxie enters the ancient tomb, you must not only look for opportunities to kill him in the ancient tomb, but also look for opportunities to take action against Qingyun outside. It is best to capture him alive. The people of Zhenwu Peak are here to prevent the failure of things in the ancient tomb. You must pay attention to both ends to ensure that everything is foolproof. You have chips in hand and don’t panic!"
"The emperor is wise, I will remember it."
The emperor nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Ai Qing, who is behind Wu An? Do you have any clues?"
The emperor's expression was solemn. The situation was very serious now. The difficulties before him were not only Prince Ning and Yue Wuxie, but also the Wu'an Dynasty, which was suspected to be supported by mysterious forces.
In the past, he thought about the help of the four-realm talisman masters and did not regard Wu An as a serious concern, but it is different now. The dream of talisman masters' cooperation is shattered, and everything has to start all over again.
"Your Majesty, we haven't reported this matter to you because we haven't found out the exact result yet. Based on the current situation we have, the Wu'an Dynasty may be behind the Seven Kills from Hanzhou... building!"
"What?"
The emperor was so shocked that he stood up on the spot, with a gloomy expression: "The top sect in Hanzhou - Qishalou! It is said that it is a sect that practices the art of assassination and inherits and trains assassins! Unexpectedly, the power behind the Wu'an Dynasty is actually them! Then why did Qishalou help Wu'an? They asked Wu'an to attack my Dagan and provoke a war between the two countries, which shows that there must be something they want in our territory of Dagan!"
"Your Majesty, if the Wu'an Dynasty is really supported by Qishalou, we may have to send someone to Hanzhou. Otherwise, even if King Ning surnamed Yue dies in the future, the crisis will still not be resolved. Faced with the support of Qishalou The Wu'an army is hard to resist despite all our efforts..."
"My dear, what's the use of sending someone to Hanzhou?"
"Your Majesty, I think that since Qishalou covets something in our Daqian territory and we can't compete with Qishalou, why not send someone to Hanzhou to ask for a meeting with people from other top sects in Hanzhou and tell them the news? Inform them..."
"Driving tigers to fight against tigers sounds simple, but it is difficult to do. What are the top sects in Hanzhou like? Will the people sent by our Dagann be received by them?"
"But Your Majesty, we have to try..."
"My dear, needless to say, the strategy of driving away the tiger will not work, but the tiger will fight against the tiger on its own, so we don't need to do anything, just wait quietly. When Daqian becomes unable to resist the Wu'an army, those behind him will The tiger that has not yet appeared will definitely appear."
"Your Majesty, this humble minister is stupid and doesn't understand his intentions..."
"Ai Qing, you said Qishalouruo coveted something in my Daqian territory. Why didn't they come in person instead of going through the Wu'an Dynasty to get rid of such a big setback?"
After hearing this, the dean of the Royal Academy suddenly realized and said: "Wei Chen has ignored this point. There must be a last resort for Qishalou to do this. This reason is most likely because there are other forces watching them. Something they covet. They are afraid of each other and check and balance each other, and they are unwilling to fight directly, so they choose a proxy war. The Wu'an Dynasty is their secretly selected agent to fight with us! However, they are ready to support us. The person who did it hasn’t had the time yet to show up?”
"Yes, that's right." The emperor nodded, stroking his beard, showing a thoughtful look, and said: "No matter what the final outcome is, it will have a profound impact on me, Dagan. The top forces in Hanzhou naturally look down upon it. Qingzhou's territory and power means they will not covet our mountains and rivers. However, if they get involved, it is foreseeable that my dignity will be ruined. Anyway, I don't have many days to live. For the sake of the stability of the country, I will be embarrassed if I lose face. Come on. I will throw away this face, but the prince’s dignity must be preserved!”
"Eunuch Gao, please pass on my decree to take back the prince's regent power and impose a ban on him. Without my decree, he is not allowed to step out of the prince's palace! I ordered the Fujia Imperial Guard to guard him carefully and not to allow any mistakes!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The father-in-law quickly stepped back.
"Your Majesty, you have devoted all your efforts to the country, and you have really good intentions for the prince."
The master of the Royal Academy said this.
"My dear, go and prepare quickly. Don't delay. I'm waiting for your news in the palace!"
"Yes, Your Majesty. I am resigning!"
The president of the Royal Academy exited the royal study and hurried back to the academy.
"Who will win and who loses in the future, and the fate of Daqian, seems difficult to predict. But no matter what, I will never give up. Even if there is only a slight chance, I am willing to put all my chips in and use all my chips to make a bet!"
The emperor said to himself, with an indescribable look of madness in his eyes.
As an emperor, the king of a country, and the most respected person in the world, how can I say defeat?
How could you be willing to fail?
