Facing Zhao Changying's affectionate wooing, Gu Xu felt a little moved, but still maintained a polite attitude, nodded and responded: "What the king did today will be borne in mind by me. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely come to you." Report."
He knew very well that the purpose behind Zhao Changying was to let him marry Zhao Yan and stay here to be Dayan's future husband.
Seeing Gu Xu's conceited attitude, Zhao Changying was not angry. She just reached out and patted his shoulder gently and said to him: "Come to my study later."
…………
After the dynasty ended, Gu Xu put on the black mask again.
Those eyes staring at him quickly disappeared. He turned back into an ordinary passerby again.
Then he followed Zhao Changying's request and came to the other party's study.
Outside the study door, he met Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan obviously practiced martial arts in the morning.
She was wearing a dark red outfit and black boots. Her long hair was tied high on her head. She looked like she had a slender waist and a slender neck.
There were glistening beads of sweat dripping down her cheeks.
"Did the Daqi Dynasty send an envoy here to find you today?" Zhao Yan asked him as soon as they met. Between her eyebrows, a hint of worry could be seen.
"Your father drove them away and destroyed their cultivation." Gu Xu said truthfully.
"He should really treat you as one of his family members." Zhao Yan said seriously.
But when Gu Xu's eyes fell on her face, she couldn't help but laugh softly, with a hint of cunning in her eyes.
Only then did Gu Xu realize that he had been teased by her again.
Ever since Zhao Changying proposed that the two of them get married, Zhao Yan's behavior had begun to become strange, always challenging the bottom line of his tolerance.
If he hadn't been bound by him, sometimes I would have wanted to execute this charming goblin on the spot.
Then the two of them crossed the threshold side by side.
Zhao Changying is sitting on the chair behind the desk.
He held his forehead with his right hand and put his elbow on the table, looking a little tired.
"sit down."
He pointed to the two chairs next to him.
After Gu Xu and Zhao Yan sat down, he slowly raised his head and looked at Zhao Yan solemnly: "I made a decision today. I want to abdicate early and hand the throne to you."
Hearing this, Zhao Yan had a surprised look on her face.
"Why? Is there something wrong with your body?" Her tone sounded worried.
"No," Zhao Changying shook his head, "My health has long been in trouble, but it does not prevent me from fulfilling my duties as King Yan for a few more days.
“I was just thinking that except for me, there is no other strong person above the saints in the entire Dayan.
“If I were alive, no one would dare to attack Dayan except Emperor Tianxing himself.
"But after my death, all kinds of monsters and monsters may come to Jicheng to join in the fun. After you take the throne, you will definitely encounter countless difficulties.
"So, I plan to hand over the throne to you first, and then use the excuse of 'exploring the avenue of ascension' to retreat in the underground chamber.
"As long as I stay in the secret room and don't come out, people outside will never know whether I am dead or alive, and they will always be wary of Dayan.

"When you become a saint in the future and can stir up the power of the Yan Kingdom, come and collect my body in the secret room and make the news of my death known to the public.
"By then, I can reunite with your mother under the Nine Springs with peace of mind."
"Father, you..." Zhao Yan hesitated.
At this moment, she had mixed feelings in her heart. She knew very well how much sacrifice her father had made for Dayan and her.
He was a king, but he chose to lock himself into a secret room when his life was about to end, and passed away without anyone to express condolences, willingly paving the way for her.
"The day you will take the throne will be set in three days," Zhao Changying pretended not to see his daughter's expression and continued to say calmly, "In the past few days, you should seize the time to talk to Coach Cai, Zhu Canjun, and Chen Dutong. Communicate with others and become familiar with Dayan's internal affairs and military situation as soon as possible. If you encounter any problems, come to me.
“I’ll prepare a list for you and tell you who you can reuse and who you need to watch out for.
"Zhao Changqi has been coveting my position for a long time. But he and his son are too scheming and profit-seeking. If time passes, their true colors will be revealed and they will destroy themselves.
"You must also pay attention to the power of the Fire Temple. But Chongli and most of the priests are fanatics who stick to tradition and may suggest that you make some extreme actions. You must think twice before cooperating with them. OK."
Zhao Yan nodded, indicating that she had kept these words in mind.
"Finally, I have one more message," Zhao Changying slowed down and looked into her eyes and said seriously, "No matter what, I still hope that you will have a descendant of your own. Only with an heir can a political power be stable. "
Zhao Yan said nothing.
She unconsciously glanced at Gu Xu next to her.
But she saw Gu Xu looking straight ahead, motionless, as if he was deliberately avoiding her gaze.
"Yan'er, you should go and do your own business first." After a moment, Zhao Changying smiled calmly at Zhao Yan, "I still have something to discuss with Gu Xiaoyou alone."
Zhao Yan frowned, seeming a little unhappy about being excluded from the conversation, but she still stood up from her seat and strode out of the room.
Only Gu Xu and Zhao Changying were left in the room.
Zhao Changying let out a long sigh, suppressed his smile, and his eyes were no longer calm, but revealed a tired and sad look without reservation.
At this moment, he seemed to have suddenly aged ten years.
"Gu Xiaoyou, are you really the reincarnation of a god?" He leaned forward slightly and stared directly at Gu Xu.
"Maybe so."
"I know that you have your own plans and ideas, and I can't force you on marriage." At this point, he paused for a moment and emphasized, "But can you please take it for my sake?" , seeing that Yan'er has helped you before, do you agree to my request?"
"If it is within my ability, I will try my best to complete it."
"After... after I die, take good care of Yan'er for me," Zhao Changying's eyes suddenly turned as red as a rabbit, "Her mother died too early, and I was too obsessed with revenge and didn't care much. Throughout her growth, she had not been a good father.

"Perhaps it was because she grew up in a lonely and devoid of care environment that her character became so withdrawn and perverse.
"Now, I have to selfishly go to see the Lord of Hell again, leaving a mess to her like this, and countless internal and external troubles need to be solved by her.
“She… it’s really not easy for her.
"Little friend Gu, Yan'er has only opened her heart and shown her closeness to you since she was a child. If you can, help her more after she takes the throne, okay?
"Your cultivation talent is unprecedented, and the Fire Temple now only has you as its leader. With your help, she should be able to gain a foothold more easily.
"This is the last request in the life of an unqualified father..."
At this point, this tall, burly, always majestic man suddenly burst into tears, and two lines of tears poured out of his bell-like eyes like streams, flowing down his cheeks and into his beard. .
Gu Xu stood up and said seriously, "I promise you."
