sword sentient beings

Chapter 764 Price

The brilliance lit up, and an extremely weird silhouette appeared in the air at the top of the Golden Cauldron Tower.

That's an eye.

Not the eye-shaped jade like before, but real eyes, with whites, black eyeballs, and distinct pupils.

It was as if the transparent giant hidden in the void suddenly opened one eye and announced its existence.

The pupils in his eyes were like stars, and the starlight swept over everyone present. Everyone trembled slightly, feeling as if their souls had been seen through. Even though the emperor now has spiritual protection, he still feels guilty when he is glanced at. This may be because of his psychological factors.

Only Wang Fei was stunned for a moment. At the moment when the sword took shape, he seemed to smell a familiar scent.

Where have you felt it?

Wang Fei frowned. He was actually quite familiar with Marquis Gao Yuan. He came to ask for the secret alliance between the two families, but he had only fought side by side with the swordsmen from Yunzhou. He had almost never seen Marquis Gao Yuan take action, so naturally he couldn't talk about it. I am familiar with her sword energy. Where does this familiar feeling come from?

Over there, Gao Yuanhou's sword image has been displayed. Although he has not made a move, he has already taken the lead, and everyone is awe-inspiring: He is worthy of being the best swordsman in the world. Even in his dying years, he still has such a powerful power!

Among the people present, especially among the foreign princes, there were many people with good strength. Even if they were not swordsmen, they were among the outstanding swordsmen. They could feel that although the appearance of Marquis Gao Yuan was indeed decayed, once he used the sword, there would still be Very powerful.

Why do you think it hasn't reached the point where it's running out of gas?

Maybe this old guy is not going to die anytime soon?

The emperor didn't feel anything at all. Although this situation was his own fault, this was the first time he met Marquis Gao Yuan after many years. He didn't know the other person's physical condition, so he naturally didn't think it was strange that Marquis Xun still had such power. . He only cares about his own plans and the outcome of things.

Seeing the sword rising, the emperor said: "Okay, hurry up and look over there!"

Marquis Gao Yuan and the eye that appeared out of thin air looked up to the sky, and their eyes moved to the thunder pillar.

The emperor held the Xingtian Seal high, connected with the thunder and lightning on the mountain. He fully expected that after Marquis Gao Yuan opened his eyes, the speed of collecting thunder and lightning would be accelerated ten to a hundred times, and the flow into the network should be visible to the naked eye. However, after holding it for a long time, he seemed to feel no difference. The thunder pillar was still shaking and trying to move. Looking at Gao Yuan again Hou, his eyes are really open, but they are just eyes open.

This was different from the plan, and the emperor was a little impatient. Although he was a very patient person before, but at this point, he was only one step away from success. His patience was not as good as before, and gradually turned into impatient. Anxiously, he shouted: "Xun Hou, why is it not working? Are you unwilling to cooperate?"

Marquis Gao Yuan said calmly: "Your Majesty, do you know why my swordsmanship can go against the flow of time?"

The emperor was startled. This was not the way he spoke to the emperor. Not to mention that the term "you and me" is wrong, even the sentence structure is wrong. Although he has been in power for a short time, since he came to the throne, everyone has followed extremely formal etiquette when talking to him. No one is rude to his face, such as rhetorical questions, hypothetical questions, imperative sentences... these sentence patterns are not what should be said to the emperor. In other words, when I was a child, a certain powerful official who had died was not so particular, and the Queen Mother would not be so rude.

But he had no impression of Marquis Gao Yuan. He wondered if this man was a potential powerful official. Maybe he was expelled by the Queen Mother and others because of his domineering attitude?

Considering that he had to be this person now, and that this old lady already looked like there was no tomorrow, he reluctantly held on to his patience and said, "Why?"

Gao Yuanhou said: "Actually, I can't change the flow of time. I can only see far and near, up and down, macro and micro, coming and going... Everything, I can see through the obstructing fog."

The emperor hummed. Even if he said yes, he would be giving face. How could His Majesty still be able to praise a prince?

Marquis Gao Yuan continued: "But I just saw before, but to get what I saw, I need a hand. This hand must have enough mysterious rules to pass through the fog, and it must also have enough strength. Only in this way can I grab what I want. As far as I am concerned, seeing things is just an ordinary consumption, but the opportunities to use that hand are also limited throughout my life."

The emperor's temper was once again weakened - he felt that the activation of the Xingtian Seal consumed a lot of his strength. If Marquis Gao Yuan did not cooperate, he would really not be able to complete the process of accepting the imperial advisor. He even doubted that this matter would proceed at the original speed. Does it take a year? This progress bar is not driven.

"Then, why doesn't Marquis Gao Yuan extend that hand? Isn't now the most critical moment? Is there any time in your life that is more worthy of taking action than this?"

Marquis Gao Yuan said: "I originally wanted to reach out, otherwise I wouldn't be here. After all, the emperor is the emperor of the world. Although your Majesty has a profound mind, if you are really ambitious and willing to do practical things, it will not be a blessing to the world. But just Today, I just looked up and saw what happened next! So I knew not to reach out."

The emperor suppressed his anger and said: "What did you see?" Marquis Gao Yuan said: "I saw that once the thunder and lightning stopped, the ground around the capital collapsed, the Purple Mountain was reduced to ruins, the city defenses were riddled with holes, and countless people in the suburbs of the capital lost their shelter. , shrouded in evil. I saw that once the imperial master left, the capital city lost its protection, countless thieves and refugees broke out, millions of people were displaced, and their families were destroyed. I saw..."

The emperor interrupted her and said, "I know."

Marquis Gao Yuan looked at him in surprise and said, "You know?"

The emperor sneered: "Did you just see that the people in Gyeonggi have become the same as the people in other places?"

Marquis Gao Yuan was speechless for a moment.

The emperor said: "So, Marquis Xun, like the Queen Mother, you think that I am a playboy who grew up in a deep palace and doesn't know the hardships of the world? It's ridiculous, why don't I know that now the world is in turmoil and all life is in ruins, but the people of the capital are the only ones who enjoy peace, and it's the national master who The merit of protecting them? But as the emperor, am I the one who cares for and protect the millions of people around the capital?"

Marquis Gao Yuan looked up at him and said, "Your Majesty, are you considering the overall situation instead of planning a region?"

The emperor said: "Indeed." He had been thinking about this for several years, and it had only been brewing silently in his heart. He had never revealed a word to anyone, and no one was worthy of his trust to listen to his heartfelt words. Both he and his biological mother were reduced to plotting against each other, so who could reveal their true feelings?

The old man in front of him today, probably because of his fate, actually wanted to openly debate with him face to face, which gave him a chance to express his feelings.

Of course, in order to prevent the secret from being leaked, his body-protecting spiritual light spread outwards, completely covering his and Gao Yuanhou's figures. To outsiders, the emperor was shrouded in a halo, doubling the sense of mystery. He could not see clearly, let alone hear anything.

In the halo, the emperor's voice was loud and resounding: "Am I still going to be like the previous emperor, sitting in the imperial city doing nothing, waiting for a safe death, and only using the power of the imperial army to protect the capital and the imperial city? What is protected? When? Protect until all the people outside the capital are dead and the world is empty? Or protect until the saint outside comes out to calm the troubled times and unify the country, leaving only me, the Jin Dynasty, trapped in a lonely boat, becoming the ridiculous "Emperor in the Well" , let the Imperial Master guard us for eternity?"

"It is said that the Imperial Master is a treasure that Taizu left for his children and grandchildren, and should not be touched lightly. But is the capital put in the box for burial? Guarding a box, thinking that my family has a gold treasure here, so Don’t you count yourself as a pauper, just waiting to sit back and eat all the outside industry? The so-called capital is to take it out, use it, and then get it back twice as much, make progress and make progress, prosper step by step, and finally revive the family business.”

Marquis Gao Yuan nodded slightly and said, "It seems that His Majesty is anxious to... turn over the book."

The emperor hummed: "Marquis Xun speaks straightforwardly. If you regard me as a gambler, although it is disrespectful, it is appropriate. Yes, I am just trying my best. What I want is to win the destiny of the country for a hundred years. The most profitable thing in the world. And what I'm betting on is the family ties of my clan's Queen Mother, the insurance of the Imperial Master, the calamity of millions of people in the capital within a few years, and loyal ministers and righteous men like Ai Qing. Of course, there is still my life."

"What I have given is almost everything I have. I have given out everything that my father was unwilling to give out. If you ask me, is it worth it?" The emperor stared at Gao Yuanhou. Gao Yuanhou did not ask, but the emperor knew that he was going to ask, so he asked for it. She asked and said, "My answer is, it's worth it!"

"Nowadays, Xun Qing knows the local criticism better than I do. It's really ridiculous for the world to be like this. If you can't cleanse the universe and whip the world, you shouldn't die in silence. Just like the former Wei Dynasty, they guarded the powerful treasures of national destiny and let them go unused. Beating the swords, hiding in the turtle shell. Waiting for the new master to break into the capital, scrambling for survival like an ant, and finally ending up with the ugly name of 'turtle bandit', how ridiculous is it?"

"Now that I am doing such a big thing, does Xun Qing want to help me? Xun Qing wants to help me. In addition to tonight's matter, Yunzhou can also be entrusted to me. It is a great disgrace to follow the king, and I will take back Youzhou. Then I will take back Youzhou. The strength of the national division should be directed northward first. Open up the front line of Yongzhou, Lingzhou, Yunzhou, and Youzhou. This northern third of the country will truly belong to the imperial court. In the name of the imperial court's great righteousness, the accumulation of Yun and Youzhou will stabilize the situation and stabilize the situation. It’s not difficult. Gather the people’s hearts, rebuild the two major armies in the capital, clean up the bandits, level the feudal towns, and spend several or more years to bring peace to the world.”

"If Xun Qing doesn't help me, and I can't even think about it in fear of death, then it doesn't matter. I won't give up my ambition here. At worst, I can imitate Taizu and start from scratch. With one man and one sword, he can still gather people's hearts, build the country, and open up a hundred years of history. The destiny of the country, I have some strength in my hand, can't I make a vigorous attack? So my strength cannot be as good as that of my ancestors, but my ambition cannot be reduced."

After hearing this, Marquis Gao Yuan looked calm and said, "Your Majesty is indeed very ambitious. From your point of view, is it worth any price to rule China and revive the imperial court?"

"of course."

Marquis Gao Yuan said word by word: "What if the price is to give up the human world to the devil?"
