"Am I going to die?"
Xiang Ning had already exhausted his spiritual power after using the Overlord Spear just now.
At this moment, she was completely defenseless.
Looking at the swooping bright yellow dragon energy, she felt like she was a lonely boat in the vast ocean.
A mere lone boat is not qualified to contend with the sea!
despair……
decadent……
confused……
We are both emperors, but the gap is so big, maybe we should surrender the whole country to the Ming Dynasty?
Xiang Ning glanced at Fan Li next to him again. At this moment, he was probably as desperate and helpless as himself, right?
"He is weaker than me and in the body refining realm, he must have been frightened a long time ago."
Xiang Ning thought this way, but found that Fan Li was smiling, and he had the aura of not changing his expression even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.
"Lu Chunqiu, escort me."
Fan Li didn't make any move, he only said five words calmly.
Xiang Ning had an expression of disbelief on his face!
At this critical moment, Lu Chunqiu really dared to take a stand and protect her, the emperor of Chu, to the death?
The moment Xiang Ning's doubtful thoughts appeared, he felt a barrier covering himself and Fan Li within ten feet of his body.
It is a rustic and thick barrier, with colors like earth and rock.
It is indeed as thick as soil and as solid as rock!
The bright yellow dragon energy hit the barrier, and Xiang Ying felt the ground shaking!
However, after the shock, the dragon energy dissipated between heaven and earth, and even let out an unwilling dragon roar!
Xiang Ning himself was unscathed.
Fan Li stood beside her, also safe.
The Lord of Lu City, Marquis Wenxin, Lu Chunqiu, came to stand in front of the two of them at some unknown time.
Lu Chunqiu spread his arms like an old hen protecting its chicks!
Three feet above his head, there was a book suspended.
Xiang Ning only took one glance and firmly remembered the four words on the cover of the book: Lu's Spring and Autumn Period!
"The most precious treasure of Confucianism and Taoism's defense [Lu's Spring and Autumn Period]? Humph!"
Emperor Jiajing failed to succeed in one attack and did not pursue again.
After all, he has the demeanor of an emperor and is incapable of stalking.
Emperor Jiajing said coldly: "Lü Chunqiu, do you really want to go against me?"
A drop of cold sweat broke out on Lu Chunqiu's forehead, but his face was calm and calm.
"I know that I am absolutely no match for His Majesty, but if Your Majesty persists, I have absolute confidence that I can risk my life to escort the Emperor of Chu back to Pengcheng, the capital of the Chu Kingdom."
Emperor Jiajing glared angrily: "You would rather die than stand on Emperor Chu's side?"
Obviously, he admitted that what Lu Chunqiu said was true.
As long as he resists desperately, he can really escort Xiang Ning back to the country!
Lu Chunqiu stopped talking.
Calmness is determination.
After Emperor Jiajing became angry, he also fell into deep thought.
He couldn't understand, what was there in Chu that was worthy of Lu Chunqiu's persistence?
It was just Lu Chunqiu's resolute and calm expression that made Emperor Jiajing, who regarded himself as a heroic figure, feel a sense of absurd powerlessness in his heart?
Is it necessary to continue the war?
Jiajing can definitely kill Emperor Chu in public!
Because if he doesn’t kill today, he will still have to personally stand on the Chu Emperor’s head and burn down the Xiang clan’s ancestral temple when he conquers Chu in the future!
But, in front of three thousand Confucian students, Lu Chunqiu, the master of Confucianism and Taoism in the world, was to be killed?
Emperor Jiajing absolutely believed that if he really did this, half of the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty would resign and live in seclusion.
The Son of Heaven, together with the scholar-bureaucrats, governs the world.
Scholars are divided into scribes and warriors.
Isn't an emperor abandoned by scribes a coward?
Emperor Jiajing wanted to be the pioneering king who unified the world and left his legacy in the annals of history. How could he remain infamy for thousands of years?
Thinking of this, the last bit of murderous intention in his heart was finally suppressed.
Jiajing said in a deep voice: "Very good. For your sake, Lu Chunqiu, I can let Emperor Chu go."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Lu Chunqiu said he was respectful, but the protective [Lu Chunqiu] did not dare to neglect at all, and still used its power with all its strength.
"No need to say thank you." Emperor Jiajing said coldly: "How can the emperor's kindness be given in vain?"
Xiang Ning's face changed slightly, worried that something bad would happen.
Fan Li seemed quite relaxed. He knew that Emperor Jiajing was going to negotiate terms now.
Forcing a hero to the negotiating table was the limit of what Fan Li could do.
Do you really want to defeat Jiajing?
Now, even if he completes another ten or a hundred system tasks, it would probably be a daydream.
"Lu Chunqiu cannot repay His Majesty's kindness. As long as His Majesty opens his mouth, Lu Cheng will do his best to serve His Majesty as long as it is reasonable and reasonable."
Lu Chunqiu bowed deeply to show his gratitude.
But he only bowed and did not kneel down. Emperor Jiajing did not feel happy at all.
After all, ministers of one’s own country do not worship the master of another country.
To Lu Chunqiu, Jiajing was already the lord of foreign countries.
"I have three conditions, and Marquis Wenxin must fulfill them."
"Your Majesty, please speak!"
"First of all, today's events must not be spread to outsiders."
Lu Chunqiu nodded without hesitation: "Three thousand Confucian scholars, I can still restrain them."
Emperor Jiajing looked gloomy, and seemed to resent Lu Chunqiu for being so influential but unwilling to serve him.
"Secondly, the Lu family is not allowed to publicly admit their submission to the Chu Kingdom within ten years."
Since Lu Chunqiu has such a great reputation in Confucianism and Taoism, once the news of his surrender to Chu gets out, it will inevitably have a great impact on the civil servants of the Ming and Han Dynasties.
In fact, once some officials of the Ming and Han Dynasty heard the news, they might abandon their official positions and go to Chu to follow Lu Chunqiu?
Lu Chunqiu said: "I am already a minister of His Majesty the Great Chu. This matter still needs to be decided by His Majesty the Great Chu Emperor."
After saying that, he didn't care what Emperor Jiajing was feeling and turned around to look at Xiang Ning with questioning eyes.
The four of them were on a high platform dozens of feet above the ground, and their voices were not loud. The three thousand Confucian scholars in the audience knew that something big was happening, but they didn't know what exactly happened.
"Your Majesty, please make the decision." Lu Chunqiu said to Xiang Ning.
Xiang Ning was a little flustered and forgot how to make a decision for a moment.
Fan Li said for her: "Your Majesty approves."
This was a serious rescue for Xiang Ning. Even she didn't think Fan Li had gone too far, and instead nodded in agreement.
"My Majesty, the Emperor of Da Chu, has also agreed to your Majesty's second condition. Within ten years, Lu Cheng will not publicly acknowledge his relationship with Da Chu."
Emperor Jiajing took a deep breath, as if resisting the urge to take action.
He said coldly: "Third, there is no need for the next session of the Three Emperors' Alliance. After returning home, Emperor Chu must unilaterally declare that he will no longer participate in the Three Emperors' Alliance."
Xiang Ning's expression changed when he heard this.
Is it up to her to pronounce the 'death sentence' of the Three Emperors Alliance?
This is tantamount to telling the world that she, the emperor of Chu, gave up the peace that has been maintained for thousands of years.
Will the Three Kingdoms enter a period of war?
It would be reasonable for Emperor Jiajing to send troops for conquest.
And all the infamy for destroying peace will be borne by her, Emperor Chu?
"I..." Xiang Ning wanted to refuse.
But before she could say anything, she heard Fan Li passing by her again.
"I, Da Chu, also agree with this!"
Xiang Ning's eyes were red with anger.
It was Fan Li who pushed himself into the "abyss" and suffered eternal infamy?
