The demon world I designed.

Chapter 1105 Should I Believe You?

Can I have it now?
The two places were hundreds of thousands of miles apart, but they were both considering the same piece of talisman paper. This seemed to be a very cost-effective deal, with clear conditions and the cost of use. However, both the emperor in the imperial palace in the capital and the eldest princess far away in the south of the Yangtze River were uneasy at this time.

Both of them knew very well that if they had this batch of things, they would be able to quickly open up the situation. However, if the contract was signed, many uncontrollable consequences might occur!
Inside the palace, the emperor hesitated as he looked at the talisman for nearly an hour. As time passed, subordinates from outside kept delivering information, and the contents were not very good. Either a big shot from this family was lured to the Buddhist temple, or many low-level children from that family went to the Buddhist temple together.

It is already difficult to stabilize the situation in the capital.

"Your Majesty." Yun Yue bowed slightly. "I know that it is not appropriate for me to urge Your Majesty, but if you continue to hesitate like this, there may not be many soldiers left in the capital. As long as the Buddhist temple is still there, it will continue to lure your men. You have no choice but to fight back and destroy the Buddhist temple. Otherwise, the longer the time drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for you."

"The envoy is right." The emperor took a deep breath and said, "Please excuse me for a moment. I want to discuss this with the King of Qin."

Yun Yue did not feel any dissatisfaction after hearing this. She smiled and saluted, then said to Zi Yue: "Your Highness Zi Yue, please make a decision as soon as possible. The evil corpse's methods are more troublesome than you think. I mean that you should recover a certain amount of strength and magical powers as soon as possible."

Zi Yue glanced at her. Even though she had already produced the credentials representing the Dao Sect, she still felt uneasy in her heart. In the end, she shook her head and said, "I need to think about it again."

"Then I'll take my leave first." Yun Yue bowed again and slowly retreated.

After the other party completely retreated, the emperor closed his eyes, and Zi Yue waved her hand, and a barrier covered the hall.

"Chen Qing, do you think she is reliable?"

Chen Qing frowned upon hearing this: "Your Majesty, it sounds reliable, but I always feel there is a pitfall."

"Haha." The emperor laughed: "I think so too, but..." He glanced outside: "Just now, intelligence kept coming in, and more than half of the noble families left behind in the capital have been bewitched. If we don't use thundering means to clean them up, I'm afraid..."

Chen Qing fell silent after hearing that. He also understood what the other party meant. There was a Buddhist temple inside the capital and several outside the capital. If he wanted to take action, he would inevitably face strong opposition from those of his subordinates who had already defected. At this time, he would have to use thundering means to cleanse them.

The emperor is an iron-blooded monarch. Normally, he would not hesitate, but the current situation is extremely special.

The Buddhist country is extremely attractive to living beings. I am afraid that many of the lower classes have already heard about the stories of the previous life. At this time, if the emperor can only suppress them with iron and blood but cannot provide enough benefits, it is likely to cause some mutiny.

There are already a large number of people who have betrayed, and if some of them are induced to mutiny, even if the repression is successful, it will be a serious blow to the vitality. If those people from the Buddhist Kingdom organize another attack at that time, can the capital be defended?
The things sent by the Taoist sect this time were just timely rain. Without saying anything else, they took out elixirs and told those who had been eliminated before that there were special elixirs that could enhance their potential, allowing them to join the ghost army, possess extraordinary powers, and live for tens of thousands of years.

This kind of temptation is much more real than any illusory previous life. At least it can win back most of the military's hearts. If we have that thing and then carry out the settlement, the losses will be greatly reduced. We may even have a chance to directly attack and destroy the Buddhist temples outside the capital first.

But the question is, is it really that simple?

"I also know your majesty's difficulties. If your majesty chooses this, I will fully support you. During this period of time here, I will help your majesty defend the city and lend a hand to your majesty!" "If I delay the plan you mentioned before, can it solve my difficulties?" the emperor whispered.

"No." Chen Qing shook his head: "Supercomputers can only create a batch of super life forms, which can only liberate your potential, Your Majesty, and at most add a King Xiang. Your Majesty will unlock your potential and there is a high probability that you will be able to control the dragon veins and become the object of the Heavenly Dao to deliver the Earth Dao Fruit with confidence. This will be a great breakthrough for you personally, but not for the forces. Previously, I only planned to let Your Majesty..."

"Let me stay here first and fight to the death with the enemy, and then you can find a way to escape from here, right?" the emperor said quietly.

"Yes," Chen Qing nodded. Once the plan succeeds, the burden on my body can be resolved in a very short time, and there will be a way to go back. At that time, I will join forces with His Majesty's army in Jiangnan to support His Majesty. This is the way I thought of before.

"If Your Majesty feels that this is not a sure thing, you can accept the Taoist invitation."

"If I don't accept it, can I really defend this place by myself?"

"There is a chance," Chen Qing lowered his voice, "but many people may die. If Your Majesty suppresses it by force and fails to gain any benefits, you may be deserted by your friends and relatives in the capital. It depends on which path Your Majesty chooses."

"If you follow your own path, then the kingly way will not be controlled by the Taoist sect, but you may lose the people's hearts. Your Majesty, you are the master of humanity. If you lose the people's hearts, then it is very likely."

Chen Qing did not say much. He had to objectively state the interests involved. If the emperor tried to hold on, he might indeed be affected. The Buddhist country's bewitching power over people's hearts was very terrifying. The capital city had already suffered great terror and was increasingly distrustful of the court. The same was true for the children of aristocratic families. Most of them were in a constant state of panic. As time went on, if he went back and could not call back as soon as possible, the emperor might not even wait for him to come over and would have been deserted by his friends and relatives, and eventually abandoned by heaven.

It's not impossible.
"Which path do you want me to take?" The emperor looked at Chen Qing and said.

Chen Qing was stunned. He didn't expect the other party to ask so bluntly, but then he immediately said: "I naturally hope that Your Majesty will believe me. The content on this talisman paper is problematic. Most of the things of the Taoist sect are also problematic. If Your Majesty agrees to the Taoist sect, it will only cause more trouble in the future. But this is related to Your Majesty's life and death, and also to the survival of the Great Jin Dynasty. I can't completely guarantee to Your Majesty that I will be back before Your Majesty collapses."

His reply was very straightforward. If he trusted himself completely, then he would need to rely on himself to be strong. After returning to Jiangnan, whether he could lead the soldiers to fight back as soon as possible was indeed a false proposition.

The first thing is whether you can do it. Even if you can do it, will you definitely do it?

Anyway, the imperial army is all in the south of the Yangtze River, so he deliberately delays. Once the emperor dies, he can completely eliminate the imperial army!
This is equivalent to putting your destiny completely into your own hands.

And if the other party chooses to accept Taoism, there is a good chance that they can clear out the capital, carve out a niche for themselves with the troops at their disposal, and then forcefully take back their own troops outside Jiangnan. This option is obviously more proactive.

To be honest, let alone a suspicious and independent person like the emperor, if I were in his place, I would most likely not choose to leave my fate to others.
"Chen Qing." The emperor stared at Chen Qing with his golden eyes: "Should I believe you?"
