I have a volume of demons

Chapter 366
Jiankang, the imperial palace.

Xiao Zhaogang dealt with government affairs, looking at the empty palace, he couldn't help but feel a sense of emptiness in his heart.

The new dynasty has just been established, and a thousand wastes are waiting to be rejuvenated. It is a time when government affairs are busy.

However, the national treasury was empty, so Xiao Qian took away all the money in the internal treasury. He took the throne, but all he got was a mess.

Xiao Zhao was so angry that he didn't care about his reputation, so he sold all of Xiao Qian's concubines and princesses.

Xiao Qian's account, he has to get it back elsewhere.

But this move was not surprisingly opposed by many people. Since ancient times, the winner has the right to control everything of the loser, but never has the family of the loser been so belittled.

What's more, Xiao Qian is still an emperor, and even Xiao Zhao's brother.

Xiao Zhao's behavior is really out of line in this country that pays attention to benevolence, righteousness and morality.

However, Xiao Zhao didn't care about these at all. Whoever opposed it would copy whose house. Anyway, Di Zuo had only been around for eight years, so he didn't care about his reputation anymore.

Since he ascended the throne, he has had many nightmares, dreaming that he was pulled from the emperor's throne.

The person I dream of every time is Ji Dong.

Probably because the psychological shadow Ji Dong left on him was too deep, which made him feel uneasy for a long time.

The huge pressure made Xiao Zhao's heart even more tyrannical.

If he had more time, he might still use the soft policy to take it slowly, but now the sword hanging above his head made him go crazy.

It's just that in the dead of night, he couldn't help sighing and asking his heart.

He gave up so much, just for this throne, is it really worth it?
Looking back on half of my life, the happiest time was probably when he didn't hold a heavy soldier, but was just a brave young general who was good at fighting.

There is no prophecy that Xiao Qiang will be troubled. The emperor trusts him, the soldiers love him, and he also has lofty ambitions.

I never had to worry about anything, and never suffered any grievances.

It's a pity that good luck tricks people.

He fell in love with a woman, and also suffered the humiliation of a man because of this woman.

Only then did he understand that all beautiful fantasies are castles in the air. If you don't have enough strength, beauty, power, or even face, you are not qualified to have it.

Perhaps, he died at that time.

As a living man, he just wants to climb to the top step by step, and no one will make him feel wronged from now on!

But today, with a lot of power in his hands, Xiao Zhao finds that he is still being played by fate.

He is sterile and has lost the simplest happiness of a man.

The only parent and child were unbearable, and he even wished to kill his only blood.

Became the emperor, but the courtiers were not convinced, a mess, which exhausted him physically and mentally.

He seemed to get something, but also seemed to get nothing.

"Is this my destiny? I will never admit defeat!"

The melancholy and sadness in Xiao Zhao's eyes disappeared in an instant, he had already reached this point, and he had no way out.

Either, he changed his fate against the sky, or he brought the world to destruction together!
"Report to the emperor, Qin Tianjian is asking to see you!"

As soon as Xiao Zhao strengthened his faith, someone from the palace came to report.

As soon as he heard the words Qin Tianjian, Xiao Zhao's face darkened.

What he hated most in the past was Tianjian Qin, because his sufferings all started from the predictions of Tianjian Qin.

However, when he really became emperor, he realized that Qin Tianjian really had something.

Ever since, his feelings towards Qin Tianjian became a little complicated.

On the one hand, I loathe and hate them, but on the other hand, I want to use them.

Although Qin Tianjian is an imperial government institution, it is basically on the edge of the court. People don't think of Qin Tianjian when there is nothing to do, and Qin Tianjian usually doesn't come out to jump around.

Sudden request to see tonight, there must be something wrong.

Xiao Zhao's face sank, and he said, "Xuan."

Not long after, the eunuch led a man with gray temples and wrinkled face into the room.

"My humble minister Zheng Zheng pays homage to the emperor."

"Be flat!"

Xiao Zhao spoke casually, but suddenly felt something was wrong.

Qin Tianjian had seen him before, and it was Zheng Zheng who presided over the enthronement ceremony for him last time.

He was only under 30 years old, why did he suddenly become like this?
"You are Zheng Zheng?"

Zheng Zheng raised his head, and Xiao Zhao confirmed that his appearance hadn't changed, he just looked a few decades older.

"How did Aiqing become like this?"

Zheng Zheng said with a solemn face, "This is the consequence of my vain peeping at the number of days. Your Majesty need not worry."

"What do you see?"

Xiao Zhao looked quite dignified.

The duty of Qin Tianjian is to observe the celestial phenomena. As officials of the imperial court, they will not be backlashed by spying on the celestial phenomena.

But there are some exceptions.

The last time Xiao Zhao encountered such a situation was more than ten years ago.

The prophecy of brothers turning against each other was made by Qin Tianjian, and that prisoner died not long after.

When you are young, you die of old age.

Generally speaking, Qin Tianjian would not suffer such backlash if he hadn't spied on the astrology related to the changes in the country's fortune.

How could Xiao Zhao not panic at this moment.

What he expected was not bad. What Zheng Zheng saw was indeed a change in the fate of the country.

"Three stars are devouring Ziwei, the emperor's star is dim, and the dawn is falling, and the world is in chaos, and five years of achievements have been reduced to ashes."

Zheng Zheng didn't directly say what he saw, but uttered four proverbs.

Although Xiao Zhao didn't know the art of astrology, just listening to these four sentences had an ominous sign.

What he cares about most now is his health, and he grabbed Zheng Zheng's arm like crazy, and said, "What does this mean!"

Zheng Zheng was already weak, but being caught like this made him feel even more uncomfortable. He felt that his bones were about to be broken, so he said with difficulty: "I don't know everything about it. These are the few words left by my master Feng Lao on his deathbed. Only scratched the surface."

In fact, it was not Zheng Zheng who presided over the stargazing tonight, but his master Feng Wang. In the Qin Tianjian, the highest official was the supervisor, but the highest status were those celebrities who only loved to watch the stars.

Tonight Zheng Zheng was only assisting in stargazing, and when Feng Wang took a peek at the stars, he ended up in this kind of fate, and Feng Wang died on the spot, leaving only four innings of admonitions before he passed away.

Obviously, what he saw this time was more taboo and more sinister.

Xiao Zhao forced himself to calm down a bit, and said, "Then explain to me."

"Nuo, I have seen the three stars, it is the Pojun, the Seven Killers, the Greedy Wolf, the three stars devour the Lord, the temptation is obvious, the world of the Lord has changed, and the monsters are everywhere.

According to Master Weichen's judgment, within five years, Emperor Zuo will die..."

"I don't believe it!"

Xiao Zhao threw Zheng Zheng away, Zheng Zheng fell to the ground, immediately vomited a mouthful of blood, passed out, and fell unconscious.

Xiao Zhao was not in the mood to care about him, he just felt angry, crazy, and a little flustered.

Why did the promised eight years of the emperor's life suddenly become three years less!

What's even more frightening is that since three years can be saved this time, will it be even less next time?

Why is this happening?
Didn't it mean that fate is hard to change?

Why can his Imperial Luck be reduced, but difficult to increase?
The sky is unfair, unfair!

Xiao Zhao couldn't control his anger, looking at the table full of memorials, he was far better than Xiao Qian in terms of being diligent in political affairs, and in terms of knowing people and making good use of them, he was also far better than Xiao Qian.

Why, Xiao Qian can be the emperor for more than ten years at ease, and there are so many courtiers working for him, unswerving, just because he was born a good man?
Xiao Zhao was so angry that he was about to lose shape, wishing to wreak havoc to vent his anger.

But at this time, Yan Qingqiu appeared.

The way she appeared was still weird.

I don't know where she came from, but in the blink of an eye, she appeared in front of me.

This time, she put on a white fox mask, which added a bit of mystery to her.

"Aren't you unwilling to succumb to fate, then why do you mess around for things that haven't happened yet?"

What she said actually made sense, but to Xiao Zhao's ears, it meant standing up and talking without back pain.

It's like a patient who is unwilling to die in eight years and wants to live hard.

Now someone told him again, you don't have to wait eight years, you will die in five years, can you not be angry?
But at this time someone told him, anyway, you are not willing to die in eight years and want to fight, so why are you afraid of dying in five years?

Listen, is this human?
Xiao Zhao was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, but when he saw Yan Qingqiu, he forced himself to calm down.

Yan Qingqiu is a partner as well as a hidden enemy, he cannot lose his demeanor in front of Yan Qingqiu.

"Hearing what you said, you seem to have a countermeasure? Let's hear it."

Yan Qingqiu chuckled lightly, and said: "You guessed it right, the three-star devourer, you go and destroy the three-star, wouldn't it be fine? Yinghuo is ostentatious, monsters are everywhere, what are you afraid of? You and the monster are the same Dude!"

Xiao Zhao: "..."

It sounds outrageous, but there seems to be nothing wrong with it.

For a moment, he was speechless.

After a moment of silence, he said: "You have great powers, do you know who Sanxing is?"

"I do know, but in order to calculate these three, I also paid a lot of price, you can't just go for nothing."

Yan Qingqiu made it clear that this was taking advantage of the fire to steal money, but Xiao Zhao had no choice but to agree to this kind of transaction.

"what do you want?"

The two have worked together for a long time, so there is no need to be hypocritical at this moment.

Yan Qingqiu said directly: "I want to cut the dragon sword."

Xiao Zhao's face suddenly darkened, he only knew that Yan Qingqiu was going to take advantage of the fire, but he didn't expect her to open her mouth like a lion and ask for the dragon-slaying sword.

This is the emperor's weapon, and it is also for him to suppress luck, so it can't be given away easily.

"You don't know what Dragon Slaying means to me."

Xiao Zhao secretly felt ruthless in his heart, if Yan Qingqiu insisted on asking to kill the dragon, he would turn his face mercilessly.

"Now that you have ascended the throne and proclaimed yourself the emperor, and you have passed down the national seal to suppress the fate of the country, Zhanlong is no longer of much use to you. Why don't you give it to me, and you can make the best use of it."

Xiao Zhao: "..."

He was really plotted by this fox to death, and he must not be so submissive this time.

Xiao Zhao said coldly: "The Dragon Slaying Sword is related to the destiny of the country, I will never give it to you so easily."

He also calculated that he was useful to Yan Qingqiu, and Yan Qingqiu would definitely not let him die.

Therefore, in this round, he had to fight.

Yan Qingqiu stepped back as expected, and said: "Since I won't give you the Dragon Slaying Sword, why don't you give me the dragon-binding rope?"

Now Xiao Zhao has no reason to refuse. The dragon-binding rope is exactly the rope that binds the white dragon in the legend. After being stained with dragon blood, it also has special power.

In terms of rank, it is actually just a spiritual weapon, not yet in the category of immortal weapon, but this thing has a great restraint effect on dragons.

When the dragon binding rope is thrown out, all creatures with dragon power will be firmly bound, and they will not be able to use any mana.

This vixen wants to cut the dragon sword first, and then bind the dragon rope. What is she trying to do?
Xiao Zhao found that he couldn't figure out Yan Qingqiu at all, and he couldn't continue to ask, so he had to agree to Yan Qingqiu.

In fact, Yan Qingqiu's goal from the beginning was to tie the dragon rope, and she made Xiao Zhao's calculations very clear.

Xiao Zhao took out a piece of red silk, the red color was just dyed by dragon's blood.

Yan Qingqiu took it, and revealed the identity of Samsung as promised.

"It's a coincidence that two of these three stars have a close relationship with you, Tanlang Xing is your niece, named Yue, born in the northwest.

The Seven Killing Star is your daughter, Xiao Se, in the southwest.

Pojun is covered by a mysterious force. I only know that her surname is Zhao. She is in the south and is still dormant for the time being. There are only two enemies you need to deal with. "

Xiao Zhao: "..."

When he didn't know who the enemy was, he was worried, but now that he knew who the enemy was, his mood became more complicated.

A niece, a daughter, well done, really well done!
"I knew that this rebellious son would turn against me, so I shouldn't have softened my heart!"

Xiao Zhao said bitterly, Yan Qingqiu secretly ridiculed in his heart, he did not kill Xiao Se immediately for the sake of greater benefits, and now he is talking about being soft-hearted.

As expected of a human race, it is really hypocritical.

However, she had no reason to annoy Xiao Zhao, so she pretended not to hear and left quietly.

When Xiao Zhao turned around and saw Yan Qingqiu missing, he felt even more annoyed.

What a rude goblin!

"One day, I will make you pay the price!"

Xiao Zhao whispered fiercely, looked up at the sky, the Tanlang star was really dazzling.

In other words, the first one to show up is Greedy Wolf.

Greedy Wolf Star was in the northwest, so Xiao Zhao quickly found someone to ask where Xiao Yue sold it to, and he knew it was Hanzhong County.

"Greedy wolf star? I want to see how capable you are!"

……

In Hanzhong County, the development of the story is somewhat beyond Ji Dong's cognition.

He originally thought that there would be at least one fierce confrontation next, and he didn't know how many troops Xiao Yue could have and whether he could beat Liu Jian.

Before the fight started, Ji Dong had already made up his mind. If he really wanted to fight, he would jump out and be a peacemaker to minimize the casualties on both sides.

The best result is that the well water does not violate the river water, and everyone's common enemy is the imperial court, so there is no need to make too many enemies now.

What's more, their goals are the same.

Unexpectedly, this Liu Jian could endure humiliation more than Lin Yi imagined. As soon as he went out to meet Xiao Yue, he bowed his head and bowed his head as a minister, expressing his willingness to be under Xiao Yue and fight against the rebels together.

And in order to stabilize the situation for the time being, Xiao Yue did not immediately recruit Liu Jian's team, but continued to be led by him.

So far, there is only one power left in Hanzhong.

Under the light of the fire, Lin Yi looked at Xiao Yue, as if seeing a general star rising slowly...

　ps: I didn't spare time last night, I will make up for it tonight
