The emperor's tent is actually more appropriately called "Military Village". It is a semi-permanent wooden structure that is stationed all year round. It can provide defensive support for the accompanying palace guards, and also make the emperor's stay more comfortable.
The emperor has not summoned anyone since he entered here.
There is a restricted area within fifteen feet around the emperor's tent, and trespassing without permission is a death sentence. From a distance, you can see densely packed guards all around, many of whom have golden swords around their waists.
Although these Golden Sword monks are usually assigned to guard the emperor, after all, the emperor still has his own bodyguards, so they usually don’t bother to have the Golden Sword monks come over. Like this time, Yang Xiu Sheng, the capital of the Golden Sword monks, was called here. It's even rarer.
The water vapor in the emperor's tent was very heavy, but it was enveloped by the power of a layer of formation and did not escape. It just circled around the emperor in the middle of the tent.
The water vapor wafted out from the bathtub measuring one foot in diameter where the emperor soaked.
The bathtub is brown, made of metal, and has magic array patterns on it. At this time, it is slowly maintaining the temperature in the basin. At the same time, it uses water to wash away the medicinal materials package in the card slot, and continuously pushes the liquid into the bathtub to flow, washing and soaking the emperor. Yang Jian's body.
The spider web on the emperor's chest became more and more ferocious. It bulged up to half an inch and was scarlet in color. It seemed to be trembling slightly with the emperor's breathing. Only when it was soaked in this potion or the warm soup behind Fu'an Palace would it become quieter. The emperor also It's more comfortable.
"Your situation is very bad. It's much worse than I imagined. I didn't expect that it has only been two years since I last saw you and it has reached this point."
The speaker was an old man sitting on the chair to the left of the emperor. This man's face looks like he is in his sixties, with white hair and beard, so he cannot tell his exact age. Wearing a gorgeous white robe with gold patterns, and an air of Taoist immortality with a touch of nobility, he is none other than Yang Xiu Sheng, the "Eternal Victory King" that others were talking about before.
There were only two people in the tent, the emperor and Yang Xiu Sheng, and no one else dared to come in unless ordered to do so. Moreover, there were formations arranged by Yang Xiu Sheng in the tent, and under his perception, it was almost impossible to eavesdrop on what they were saying.
The emperor half-closed his eyes and leaned his head on the soft pillow beside the bathtub. His whole body was slightly red from soaking, but his face was filled with contentment. Hearing Yang Xiu Sheng's words, he smiled and replied: "Uncle, how old am I? Two years. To you, it's just a few retreats, and it goes by in the blink of an eye, but to me, it's like a mountain of swords and a sea of fire. Haha, the days are passing by, and my body is getting tired day by day. Now that I have left The soup pool can only be maintained by this medicinal bath, otherwise it will be painful.
Haha, I am not afraid of your jokes, uncle. I feel tormented every day when I go to court, and the time I can persist is getting shorter and shorter. I don't know how long I can hold on. "
Yang Xiu Sheng picked up a pair of medicinal soup on the side and smelled it closely. This medicinal soup was brought in by the eunuch for the emperor to drink. It was left cold on the side. He felt that it smelled wrong and frowned: "Are you drinking this energy-sucking medicine now? Are you asking for death?"
Yang Xiu Sheng did not think that the emperor was unaware of the harmful effects of this medicine. The only explanation could only be that the emperor did it intentionally.
Sure enough, I heard the emperor laugh at himself: "What else? Now I rely on this medicinal soup to prevent me from being tortured to madness and still be able to handle affairs. As for whether I am seeking death, haha, uncle, do you think it is better for me to live like this now? Is it better to die?"
Yang Xiu Sheng couldn't accept the emperor's words. The scene fell into silence.
After a long time, the emperor suddenly said: "Uncle, you said that if I had asked my second brother to take over the throne, if I had practiced with you myself, I would have reached the Yuan Dan realm by now, right?"
"Yeah. You had good talent back then, and you were above average. If you had worked harder, you would probably be in the Yuan Dan realm now."
"What a pity. We brothers were all kept in the dark. After a chaotic fight, three died and one walked away. But I took over the throne triumphantly and realized that I was the one who lost the most. Hehe, Uncle, I remember that you persuaded me to give up this position, but I misunderstood you as my second brother's lobbyist, and I hated you for a long time."
Yang Xiu Sheng also thought about the past, and the scenes from many years ago also made him raise the corners of his mouth, but after a moment, his face dropped again.
"Back then, I reminded you that it was against the ancestral precepts, but you didn't listen, so I couldn't do anything. However, the change of the royal family was turbulent, and killing or not all depended on luck. Your father was quite skillful back then, and he forced us to kill several people. The two brothers were obedient, and finally succeeded in overtaking me, the eldest son, to take the throne. As a result, things were unpredictable, and no one could tell who would win or lose. If I hadn't joined Fenghong Villa later and had a special status, I wouldn't have known about it. There is such a subtle reversal under the throne.
Why......"
The emperor himself was still free and easy, and said with a smile: "Uncle, there is no need to sigh for me. My ancestors have blessed me that I can live to this day. Among the emperors of our royal family, even if I die now, I will still be in the top three, right?"
It's just that things are complicated and messy, and some of them have disrupted my previous arrangements. I don't know if I can make proper arrangements for my funeral before I die. "
"If you need my help, just ask." Yang Xiusheng, as the leader of the Golden Sword monks, has the important responsibility of guarding the royal family. He is also Yang Jian's uncle, and he has no shirk of responsibilities both in public and private matters.
"Help me suppress Yang Yansi."
"Yang Yansi? I asked you why you suddenly pulled me out of the mountain. Was it to prevent him? But Yang Yansi has always been loyal and meritorious to the country. Are you sure you want to touch him? And isn't there another military attack in the south now? You just Aren’t you afraid that the soldiers on the front line will be paranoid?”
"The current general manager of the southern frontier army is Zuo Yuliang. He is one of my men. He can stabilize the frontier army. As long as the frontier army is not in chaos, it will not cause a fire in the army. At most, it will be some barking dogs and fighting. Death is just not a big deal.
The key is Yang Yansi. This person has too much prestige in the country. Back then, in order to show off as the "God of War" of the country and stabilize people's hearts, we had to delegate power to him to manage the military affairs. Now he has become so powerful that he cannot be easily touched.
But as long as uncle is willing to take action and suppress him so that he can no longer cause trouble, that's all. You are the only one in the country who has the ability to suppress him. "The emperor sat up straight in the bathtub, his expression no longer as relaxed as before, looking at Yang Xiu Sheng on the left, waiting for an answer.
"Yang Yansi can be regarded as a branch of our royal family. He is very talented. Now I think he also has the first level of Xuanhai Realm cultivation, and there is still the possibility of improvement. But he can't make trouble in front of me, you can rest assured." Yang Xiu Sheng said cautiously. The emperor nodded and directly accepted the job.
However, Yang Xiu Sheng was still confused: "What on earth did he commit? From what you said, you just suppressed him?"
"Hmph, colluding with foreign enemies and secretly funding the enemy."
"What?!"
