"I'm not dead?" Zhao Ji was very surprised when he woke up.
I have been accompanying the tiger tooth pendant day and night for more than thirty years, and I have gained a lot of insight into its mysteries. If you use your body to feed a tiger to strengthen its spirit, there should be no chance of survival.
"The sin of killing is too serious. I will not recognize my relatives, and there is no place for me in the underworld." Zhao Ji struggled to stand up, and when he saw the body of General Wang, his eyes turned slightly red. He walked closer and knelt down, tears welling up in his eyes.
He can't really let go of his emotions, he just chooses to give them up for the ultimate goal. Now that the goal has been achieved, uncontrollable grief comes one after another.
Zhao Ji shed tears for a while and tried to carry the body on his back. But I found that my body was too weak and I couldn't walk more than two steps before falling down.
After thinking for a moment, he picked up a weapon and found a softer place to dig.
I don't know how much time it took, but I reluctantly dug a hole and buried Old General Wang in it.
Zhao Ji had no intention of looking for the tiger tooth pendant, or he simply forgot about it. When I wanted to cut a piece of wood to make a monument, I discovered the pendant on the treetop.
"By the way, I almost forgot about you."
Zhao Ji looked at the pendant and was slightly lost in thought.
After a long silence, he walked closer to the tree. He swung the knife high and brought it down without hesitation.
Because I didn't have much strength, I only made a very subtle cut. But the intention is very clear, to chop down the tree and let the pendant fall into the abyss.
"What is he doing?" General Wang was very anxious and could hardly help but want to remind him loudly.
He took a peek at Su Qing, his face was expressionless and showed no emotion or anger.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the bottom of the cliff. A group of masked men in black came up, holding swords in their hands and coming menacingly.
"Immortal Lord!" General Wang was anxious, thinking that Su Qing did it on purpose and couldn't help but say. "When I was in the illusion just now, there were no such people."
"It's not an illusion, someone is really coming." Su Qing said, "Someone you know."
"Do I know him?" General Wang was puzzled.
The people in black came to the top of the cliff and seemed not surprised by this scene. The leader stopped his men who were about to step forward and walked up to Zhao Ji.
"Do you recognize me?" the leader asked.
"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince." Zhao Ji gave a symbolic salute.
"General Zhao has lost his etiquette." The leader took off his mask, it was the Crown Prince of Wei. "Even if you are wearing armor, you will kneel down when you see me."
"If you want to take my life, just take it, Your Highness." Zhao Ji calmly moved half a step to block the position of the pendant. "Whether it's treason or disobedience, it can be charged with any crime. What I want to do has already been done."
"You think I don't know anything?" The prince laughed and waved his hands to evacuate. After he and Zhao Ji were left alone, Fang spoke again.
"Your plan is very secret, but it cannot escape my eyes. If it weren't for my secret cooperation, do you think you would succeed so easily? If the elites of Wei Dynasty were not mobilized without any hindrance, would it be possible for Liang and Chu to get involved so easily? ?”
Zhao Ji said calmly: "The elite of Wei Dynasty did not escape smoothly. It should not be part of His Highness's plan."
The prince's expression stiffened, and a flash of shame and anger flashed in his eyes. "This matter is indeed beyond my expectations. But the final result is even better than I thought."
boom!
The prince suddenly took action and threw Zhao Ji out. Looking at the pendant on the tree, a smile appeared on his face.
"A prophecy that can be passed on as a gift at the age of forty, a bone given by Penglai Immortal Island, makes people in the Yuanshen realm go crazy like dogs. Isn't such a thing terrible?" The prince turned to look at Zhao Ji. "Are you afraid, so you want to destroy it?"
"It's just useless. I don't want to cause any more trouble." Zhao Jidao. "No matter how ambitious His Highness is, it will be difficult for him to start a war within a few decades. The impact of this battle on the Wei Dynasty is not as simple as losing hundreds of thousands of elites."
"You don't need to teach me these things. I have never thought of using any soldiers." The prince smiled. "Why do we use those Qiu Ba to fight for the world when we obviously have stronger power?"
"Do you want to use this pendant to expand your territory?" Zhao Ji felt a little ridiculous. "If I could do it, do you think I would make the choice I made today?"
The prince laughed. "So you are stupid, and everyone in the world is stupid. You only focus on a broken bone, and in the end you are just a chess piece. I can only play chess, not be a chess piece."
Zhao Ji was stunned. "What's the meaning?"
General Wang was also confused. "What do you mean, Your Highness?"
"It's very simple." Su Qing said, "Zhao Ji plots the world, and he plots my own."
General Wang trembled.
It’s not that I haven’t thought of this possibility, it’s that I haven’t dared to think about it at all.
"I'm crazy and you're stupid." Zhao Ji also thought about it and looked at the prince in disbelief. "Who is that person? How dare you have such an idea!"
"People in the world don't dare, it's just because of ignorance." The prince was confident. "Since I was twelve years old, I have collected all information related to Penglai. From thirty-three years ago to the present. In the end, I came to the conclusion that the Lord of Penglai values fate rather than people."
Zhao Ji said nothing because it was all nonsense.
"Of course, this is something everyone knows, but there are still some things you haven't seen." The prince looked at the tiger tooth pendant and talked.
"Everything in the world is for profit, and the Immortal will not give magic for no reason. Every time he sends something, it will bring him something in return. That kind of reward is beyond our understanding, but it must be real. If something goes wrong, he will It’s very difficult.”
Zhao Ji looked at the prince in shock.
The prince was known as a child prodigy when he was young, and was once compared with King Hui of that year. It's hard to say in terms of IQ when making these remarks, but his courage is definitely beyond the pale.
"What a broken pendant, I am not interested in it. But if no one holds it, the Lord of Penglai must be interested. I judge that he cannot give it to anyone casually, and can only take it from the right person." The prince said directly. idea.
"I will not use this thing, nor will I let anyone use it. I will only place it in an absolutely safe place, where no one can touch it. When the person comes to find it, I will Let’s talk about conditional fate.”
Zhao Ji looked like an idiot. "Do you think that person won't be angry after doing such a threatening thing?"
"You will get angry, but you won't kill me." The prince smiled and said: "You can think about it for yourself, is there any killing in the legend of that person?"
Zhao Ji thought about it carefully, and it seemed that there really wasn't.
The prince added: "In addition, the reason why I tell you so much is just as a final test. As long as I don't steal things, I won't violate his taboo. What reason do I have for even guarding things for him? kill me?"
Zhao Jidao. "Using a mortal's mind to guess what an immortal thinks, your Highness, please don't be too conceited."
The prince laughed. "Everyone in the world is stupid, but I am the only one who is awake. Haven't you heard that the ancients played chess with the sky, and they were better than half of the gods. I am not as good as the great sages of the ancients, but I can still be considered an immortal."
Zhao Ji couldn't see anything. General Wang's face was as white as paper.
Now his situation is relatively big, but after all, he has been a minister of the Wei Kingdom for more than a hundred years. I was very worried that the immortal would be angry and do something to the state of Wei.
"He is right, I will not kill him." Su Qing said, "But..."
Zhao Ji pounced on the prince fiercely, like a real tiger.
…
There are ancient sages who play chess against the sky on the edge of a cliff. The son is about to be defeated. He kneels with his body and is defeated by half the son of heaven. The prince wanted to imitate him and thought of himself as an immortal on the edge of a cliff, but he lost track of his form and lost his footing.
