When Gu Dan woke up, it was already bright.
Through the opened window, you can see the clear blue sky at a glance, as transparent and clear as a water mirror, and the cloudless sky is vast, which will make people feel happy unconsciously.
Duanhunshuo is dangerous for ordinary people to drink, but for him, who has reached the level of martial arts master, it can only be regarded as a kind of nourishing liquor. Not only does it not cause the headache and dry mouth that ordinary people have after a hangover, but after waking up, he feels completely refreshed. Satisfied, full of energy, all difficulties are gone.
Stretching lazily, Gu Dan stood up and walked out of the room, only to see Mo Qiu sitting there, his whole figure seemed to have turned into a stone statue.
"Brother Mo, why are you so dazed so early in the morning?"
After stretching his muscles for a while, Gu Dan said hello and looked around, "Where's the gentleman?"
Mo Qiu looked over, with an indescribable sense of calm in his eyes. Those dark eyes seemed to contain a bottomless abyss, and he said softly: "He's gone."
"You just came back and left?"
Gu Dan frowned slightly, "Why is it so urgent?"
"Yes...at this time, there is no point in being anxious." Mo Qiu handed over the letter in his hand.
Gu Dan took it and after scanning it briefly, the expression on his face suddenly froze.
Read it carefully word for word again.
"Daqing, Dayong, Dayue, and Daqi, the four-nation coalition forces conquer Dayue?!"
Gu Dan couldn't explain exactly how he felt.
Some time ago, he was secretly lamenting that Da Yue had gathered all the conditions for subjugation except for the alien race's ruthlessness.
Unexpectedly, Otsuki would make up for the last shortcoming so quickly, and by the way, he gave a gift package in which the general was seriously injured and dying, and the number of soldiers was greatly reduced.
Suddenly Gu Dan understood why Mo Qiu was sitting there like a stone statue.
War is not a joke, it is the most thorough consideration of a country, from people's livelihood to the economy, from development to decision-making... In all aspects, what is ultimately about is not victory or defeat, but life and death.
Putting aside the fact that the frontier army was almost destroyed, what is Otsuki's situation now?
For the sake of a Wanshou Immortal Palace, Emperor Zong Ming had already laid waste to the entire country.
People's livelihood is in poverty, refugees are everywhere, and officials are ruthless... At this time, even recuperation seems like a dream, and there is still a war?
Beat him on the head? !
For a moment, Gu Dan could finally feel confident.
This country is going to end.
Mo Qiu, who had been working hard to save all people from the fire and water, showed such a look.
What he wants is a dream that has been drained of bone marrow, melted with blood and sweat, and can no longer be approached even with all the effort of his mind.
That is to say, we cannot turn the tide before it collapses, nor can we help the building before it collapses.
This country has become extremely corrupt, and the coalition's crusade is coming one after another, leaving no chance of survival.
The almost suffocating silence lasted for a long time. Gu Dan threw the battle report aside and said almost inhumanely: "If you don't break it, you can't build it, and you won't have to suffer for a few more years."
"If you don't break it, you won't stand it?"
But Mo Qiu couldn't be as cold-hearted as Gu Dan.
Under the so-called "no destruction, no establishment", how many people have to die before everything can be settled?
While he was between the houses, his eyes seemed to be thousands of miles away, seeing the scene of rivers of blood and desolate lives.
White bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles!
Gu Dan could only sigh, "The rise and fall are due to the suffering of the people."
Even if you learn medical skills, how can you heal the world?
"Mr. Gu, the food is here!"
When the two of them were sighing, Xun Ke came over holding a steaming steamer. He held the steamer high with one hand, and stretched out his restless little hand to catch the steaming steamed buns on his face. With a bright smile, he said: "I keep the buns from the aunt's house next door in the steamer because they are afraid of getting cold. They are just like the new ones. They are soft, meaty and delicious!"
"Bah...eat..."
Cang Yi arched his head, straightened his legs, and scratched around with his little hands.
"ha."
Gu Dan laughed, reached out to take the steamer, and said casually: "Every generation has its own affairs, so there is no need to leave everything to yourself."
"What?" Xun Ke didn't understand.
Gu Dan didn't mind that it was too hot, so he picked up a bun and gnawed it, saying vaguely: "I praise you for being a pillar of talent."
"of course!"
Xun Ke puffed up his chest proudly. He was also a disciple of Master Mo. He also lived in this small courtyard and studied with Mr. Gu. He was much better than that Qin Li Sheng!
...
Outside the Yangxin Hall, Eunuch Fang bent down and warned in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense when you go in. His Majesty is not in a good mood these days... You need to be more careful when you come to visit at this time. "
Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Ever since the war report from Yuzhou came, the servants around Emperor Zongming have changed one after another.
But this man has rushed to come and recognize each other at this time. Isn't this adding trouble to His Majesty's heart?
Originally, after so many years of not seeing each other, I might still have some thoughts, but the timing was too bad.
But in the face of his earnest words, Gong Shangguo responded with complete disregard.
He stared firmly at the hall in front of him, paying no attention to Eunuch Fang who was following closely beside him.
What can Eunuch Fang do?
Grandson of the Emperor Longzi, no matter how much he is respected as a slave in the palace, it still depends on people's faces.
After spending a long time explaining all the complicated etiquette, Eunuch Fang finally gave way and watched Gong Shangguo walk towards the Yangxin Hall, secretly saying "poof" in his heart.
'That means you were born well, do you really think of yourself as a person? '
It has been twenty-three years since the second prince was demoted to Yuzhou.
Twenty-three years later, the second prince came to the imperial capital again. Letters of greetings were exchanged, but the Holy Father never commented on them.
Now that the second prince's children are already so old, it is too late to finally think of meeting the emperor.
How much favor can be given?
Not as good as the intrigues of the eunuchs in the palace!
Gong Shangguo walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
The main hall was empty, with not many decorations.
There was only one person sitting alone on the dragon chair. His body was not very tall, but unparalleled power always shrouded him.
Gong Shangguo looked at Emperor Zong Ming without hesitation, looking at the Lord of the Big Moon.
Even if it is a crime of disrespect to look directly at Long Yan without looking away, it does not matter.
Years of seeking immortality have indeed allowed Emperor Zong Ming to take good care of himself. His face is still rosy and shiny. If his temples had not become much grayer, he would not have been able to tell that he was about to be sixty years old.
Those eyes as deep as the sea were also looking at him. There was no family affection for future generations in their eyes, it was more like they were looking at an artifact carefully.
Suddenly, Emperor Zongming spoke and asked in a cold voice: "You said, you called Gong Shangguo? Did you change the emperor's surname?!"
His voice was full of unquestionable majesty and cruelty, not angry but self-defeating.
The emperor is ruthless and calls himself a loner; although he says it modestly, it is his true nature!
Facing the questioning from the current sage, Gong Shangguo showed no fear at all and said calmly: "The country is no longer a country, so how can a family be a family? What does a surname mean?"
