This time he entered the imperial capital to congratulate the Sword King on his birthday, Xu Zhan was trapped in the Sky Burial Mountains, and Zhuge Li was also taken away by the Flame Valley. Qin Shuang gained nothing and suffered heavy losses. After Yanhuo Valley left, Qin Shuang was also ready to leave, but the Sword King stayed with Qin Shuang for a few more days and introduced all the princes to Qin Shuang one by one.
After handling everything, Qin Shuang also entered the palace to say goodbye to the Fire Sword Emperor Zhuge Xie. Having already lost so much, Qin Shuang hopes to get some compensation from the Fire Sword Emperor.
"Your Majesty the Sword Emperor, it's time for Qin Shuang to leave the imperial capital, and he came here to say goodbye."
Zhuge Xie was dealing with some affairs. He looked up at Qin Shuang, smiled and said, "Qin Shuang, you don't look like you're here to say goodbye. Instead, you want to come to collect debts. Tell me, what do you want? What to do?"
Qin Shuang simply acted like a rogue and said: "Your Majesty, I have suffered heavy losses when I entered the imperial capital this time. As the Sword Emperor, can I not make up for it?"
Zhuge Xie still had a few memorials to deal with, but without raising his head, he asked: "Oh? Tell me, what have you lost this time? Also tell me, what do you want to gain? Is it okay to compensate?”
When Zhuge Xie, the Fierce Sword Emperor, said this, Qin Shuang immediately became happy and felt that there was something wrong. He said: "Your Majesty, this time when we entered the imperial capital, Xu Zhan was trapped in the Sky Burial Mountains; Zhuge Li was taken away by the Flame Valley; I was offended. He defeated the Storm Sword King and became a thorn in the side of Tianjian Mountain. The loss is really too great."
Zhuge Xie quickly finished disposing of the remaining memorials and pushed them aside. Then he looked at Qin Shuang and said, "Oh? I will let you enter the Sky Burial Mountains to practice, and let you soak in the earth's spiritual springs to help you. Improved your strength. Allowed you to enter the underground treasure house and obtain the Yin-Yang Divine Bow...Why did you keep silent about these things?"
Qin Shuang was dumbfounded. Qin Shuang really didn't expect that the superior Zhuge Xie, the Fire Sword Emperor, would bargain with him. What Qin Shuang didn't expect was that at this time, Zhuge Xie said: "This guy Xu Zhan went to challenge King Ling without authorization. I am trapped in the Sky Burial Mountains. These things have nothing to do with me, right? My emperor originally intended to keep Zhuge Li by his side to train him, but you, Qin Shuang, made your own decision and sent him to the Flame Valley. This matter The matter has nothing to do with me, right? Qin Shuang, please tell me how I need to compensate you?"
Qin Shuang knew that he could not defeat the Fiery Sword Emperor Zhuge Xie, so he had to give up immediately and said: "Your Majesty, Qin Shuang came to the Imperial Capital to congratulate His Highness the Sword King on his birthday. Now it is time to leave. This time I entered the Imperial Capital to take care of His Majesty, and came here to say goodbye. .”
"Hmph, you little guy, you are still very cunning after all!" Zhuge Xie snorted coldly and asked someone to take away the memorial. Then he said, "After all, you have grown a lot during this trip to the imperial capital, my emperor. I am also very pleased. Qin Shuang, no matter what you say, you have finally begun to accept all this, and I am very happy. The messy situation in the Sword Dynasty needs you, Qin Shuang, to sort it out one by one. After you Qin Shuang stop escaping, , everything can still be dealt with gradually."
"Hey, even if I don't want to admit it or bear the responsibility, these things will still happen after all! After all, I am still a great master. Everything he predicted seems like a curse. I am just a small practitioner in the middle realm of martial arts. Or, right now, there is no other way but to accept it. We can only go on step by step!" Although he was extremely tired, Qin Shuang could only sigh and said, "It's just that, as His Majesty said, all of this is... It’s a mess, I, Qin Shuang, really don’t have that much ability, so maybe these things can only be dealt with gradually.”
Zhuge Xie nodded. It was enough for Qin Shuang to think like this. Zhuge Xie looked at Qin Shuang and said, "Go on, Qin Shuang, ask the question you want to ask. There is no one else here. I The emperor won’t hide anything from you.”
Sure enough, it was an old fox. Zhuge Xie knew exactly what Qin Shuang was thinking. Qin Shuang thought for a while and asked: "Your Majesty, what I want to ask about is the old ghost Yin Ran. The old ghost Yin Ran is trapped in the capital like this After so many years, why did I escape when I entered the imperial capital? With the power of the Sword Dynasty and the powerful practitioners everywhere in the imperial capital, it is still easy to leave an old ghost Yinran behind, right? But, at the beginning However, Old Ghost Yin Ran fled the imperial capital in one fell swoop, and the Sword Dynasty did not send any strong men to kill Old Ghost Yin Ran."
Everything is too coincidental. In front of these powerful men, so many coincidental things will not happen at once. Once it happens, someone will secretly arrange it all.
More importantly, it was precisely because of Yin Ran's action that Qin Shuang and Zhuge Shilan fought. The moment Qin Shuang defeated Zhuge Shilan, Qin Shuang connected everything. When Qin Shuang secretly scolded the Fire Sword Emperor Zhuge Xie for being an old fox, he was also very curious as to why the Fire Sword Emperor Zhuge Xie arranged all this.
Zhuge Xie stared at Qin Shuang for a long time, and then asked: "Oh? If the emperor tells you, can it be regarded as compensation for you?"
Qin Shuang was helpless and could only clasp his fists quickly and said: "Your Majesty, the words of compensation are just Qin Shuang's confusion. I hope your Majesty doesn't mind."
"Hmph, you little guy is still smart after all! Yes, Yin Ran was indeed released under the emperor's order." Zhuge Xie nodded and admitted that all this was his arrangement, and said, "Old ghost Yin Ran has been trapped in the imperial capital for many years. , he was able to endure it, not only leaving a sword energy in his body, but also hiding a drop of blood essence. When Qin Shuang entered the imperial capital, old ghost Yin Ran sensed it, and he couldn't wait to escape from the imperial capital. . Since it is all to allow him to escape, naturally we will not really stop him. "
Qin Shuang had already thought about this matter clearly, but Qin Shuang really didn't know the purpose of doing this. He even asked: "Why is this? Your Majesty, for such a powerful enemy, the best choice should not be Are you going to kill them? Only enemies who can't breathe are good enemies!"
Zhuge Xie admitted everything, nodded, and said calmly: "It is true, but the value of Yin Ran being able to leave alive is greater, and it is nothing more than cooperating with him in a play. As for the purpose, there is nothing wrong with it. The best thing to say is to ask him to bring the information about you back to the ghost clan."
Zhuge Xie could be so calm, but Qin Shuang couldn't. Qin Shuang quickly asked: "My information? Why is my information important? Is it worthy of His Majesty personally setting up such a situation?"
"Hahaha, yes, I also want to know why I was asked to personally arrange the layout, and I also sent sword guards to take action." Zhuge Xie smiled, then focused his eyes on Qin Shuang, and said , "Qin Shuang, if I cannot tell you the answer, how are you going to find it? Or, to put it another way, if I cannot tell you, will you find the answer to this question?"
"I don't like trouble, so I don't want to go looking for it." Qin Shuang spread his hands. However, Qin Shuang had other ideas about this matter. Qin Shuang changed the subject and said, "But, if in this matter As for the matter, I am very curious as to why His Majesty would do this, and I really want to find out the answer to this question myself."
After staring at Qin Shuang for a long time, Zhuge Xie finally nodded with satisfaction and said: "Qin Shuang, you have finally grown up. Yes, that's good. When you grow up, you need to carry some things. But, this How should we talk about the matter? Well, let's start from here!" Zhuge Xie murmured and found the beginning of the matter. He asked: "Qin Shuang, what do you think the Sword Dynasty is?"
"Your Majesty, I don't understand what you mean?"
"Hahaha!" Zhuge Xie smiled and then said, "Qin Shuang, you are looking too small now. You can only see a few cities, such as Sinwu City, Imperial Capital, and Zhongtian City. Cities. If all the territory of the Sword Dynasty is regarded as a chessboard, these cities are some of the more important chess pieces. On the chessboard of the Sword Dynasty, I am the chess player, and the people who play against me will be Who is it? It's Wen Zui, the city lord of Zuiwu City, and Fenglingjian Zun of Tianjian Mountain. They are competing for important chess pieces, planning the battle, and then fighting to determine the winner. However, this chess game will be very calm and will not lead to violent fighting. , after all, they are all part of the Sword Dynasty, and they do not want to completely destroy each other, they are just suppressing each other and making up for each other. But if the whole world is regarded as a big chess game, what does the Sword Dynasty amount to? It is the star Let’s be one of them! Each has a large number of chess pieces, and each other is determined to fight to the death. On such a chessboard, the fight has already become unrelenting.”
Qin Shuang finally understood what Zhuge Xie wanted to say. Qin Shuang had no choice but to sigh and said in a self-deprecating tone: "I'm just a more important chess piece, right?"
Zhuge Xie nodded. Zhuge Xie just chose to tell Qin Shuang these things. As for what Qin Shuang thought, it was not Zhuge Xie's decision.
"Yes, you are an amazing chess piece. In the grand chess game of this world, you are an amazing chess piece. However, when your chess piece appears, other amazing chess pieces will also appear. . The emperor asked Yin Ran to escape from the imperial capital, and asked him to leave the imperial capital with information, in order to announce to the ghost clan that you, Qin Shuang, have appeared."
Qin Shuang was speechless for a moment, but Zhuge Xie smiled and continued: "Qin Shuang, you have to understand that when you appear, the enemies you must face also appear."
