I really don't want to be a traitor

The battle of recognition.

Fan Li didn't expect that after so many years, he would have to go through another battle to recognize his master.

He was instantly transported to a different space, a dedicated battlefield.

The mythical beast is right in front of you.

The fur is smooth and as spotless as snow.

The first born has two horns, which look like gold and jade, and are extremely holy.

There are nine kinds of graphics on the beast's body, which are rich in color, like a totem representing a certain kind of power, or like an inscription carving the way of heaven.

Even an ordinary person can tell at a glance that it is a mythical beast.

But based on Fan Li's current experience, even if a divine beast descended from the sky, it would only make him slightly curious.

Shocked?

ecstasy?

It's hard to have this restless mood anymore.

He carefully looked at the divine beast descended from the sky, and from its elegant figure and charming expression, he could even deduce that it was a female beast.

but……

Fan Li frowned.

He had a brief eye contact with the divine beast just now, and for just a moment, he actually felt the change in the other person's eyes.

First there was expectation, then surprise, and finally only deep disappointment and contempt.

Does the mythical beast despise itself?

why?

As he was thinking, an elegant but condescending female voice suddenly sounded in Fan Li's heart.

"The founding emperor was so weak?"

"It was all in vain that I struggled so hard to get the chance to come to the lower realm."

"It's really disgusting to meet such trash!"

Is this a divine beast descended from the sky using its thoughts to communicate with itself?

But where is the communication here?

It's obviously humiliating!

Fan Li's heart sank, and he lost all good feelings when facing the divine beast!

Although the divine beast is rare and precious, it is not qualified to ride on Fan Li's head and run wild.

Especially with its character like this, it was given to Fan Li for free and he didn’t even bother to ask for it!

"Let's go." Fan Li said coldly: "I'm not interested in you. You can go back and forth from wherever you are."

He is the emperor, and his dignity cannot be offended.

But his attitude was beyond the expectations of the divine beast.

"It's ridiculous!"

"Weak Lord in the world, I'm afraid you still don't know what a great opportunity you are facing?"

The divine beast transmitted the message again, still speaking in a condescending tone.

Fan Li said calmly: "Is the opportunity you call the [Apotheosis of the Gods]?"

"What? Did you know that?!"

This time, it was the mythical beast's turn to be surprised.

"The opportunity for the whole country to rise is right in front of us, but you don't cherish it?"

The names of subjects can be recorded on the list of gods.

The saying in the legend, "When a person achieves enlightenment, a chicken or a dog ascends to heaven" refers to the list of gods.

Anyone whose name is on the list can ascend with the emperor.

Fan Li shook his head and did not explain.

After a few simple conversations, he was already convinced that this mythical beast was nothing special, and its character might even be inferior to that of Zhuque of the Ming Dynasty, Xuanwu of the Han Dynasty, and Tuantuan.

Besides, the third generation Guiguzi Wang Ban can build the God Conferring Platform, so Fan Li naturally doesn't care about the divine beasts descended from the sky.

"Again."

"I'm not interested in you. You can go back and forth wherever you come from."

People respect me one foot, and I respect others ten feet.

What's more, with Fan Li's character, he has always bullied others, so how could there be any reason for him to be bullied in turn?

So, he directly issued an eviction order.

"My Dajin doesn't need you."

"No!" The divine beast shook its head and continued to transmit sounds with its heart. "The battle to recognize the master has begun, and the winner must be decided. I will defeat you, and then choose another master."

Fan Li was quite surprised when he heard this.

From just now, he noticed that there was something different about this mythical beast.

The human world, as if it came here on its own initiative?

It is unheard of to choose another master!

There are only four emperors in the world, Yao Guang, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan, who have not yet obtained the divine beasts descended from heaven.

Based on its character, Fan Li could guess with his toes that there was a 90% chance that it would seek refuge with Empress Yaoguang.

To strengthen the enemy is to weaken yourself!

As a result, Fan Li rarely felt murderous!

If he wants to kill the divine beast from the sky in the [Battle of Recognition of the Lord], I am afraid he will be considered the first person in the world.

It's a pity that Fan Li's murderous intention just emerged and was immediately persuaded by the system.

"Warm reminder: [Battle to Recognize the Lord] cannot cause fatal injuries to the divine beasts descended from the sky."

"It is detected that the host has a bad relationship with the mythical beast, triggering a random mission [Pride is a Sin]."

"[Arrogance is a Sin]: If the host defeats the divine beast, part of its memory can be deprived of it. If the host is defeated, the system will permanently take back the [Emperor's Staircase]."

Fan Li was very satisfied with the system's quick response.

Depriving the mythical beast of its memory would ensure that Da Jin would continue to hide in the dark.

However, the punishment was too severe, and the [Stairway to the Emperor] was permanently withdrawn.

In this battle, no defeat is allowed!

"Let's start quickly."

On the opposite side, the heavenly beast urged impatiently.

Fan Li looked at it coldly.

"Okay, as you wish."

……

…………

Jinluan Palace.

The ministers headed by Wang Ban and Hu Zongxian were waiting anxiously.

Everyone already knew that His Majesty was fighting a battle with a divine beast descended from the sky.

This is a good thing.

Only when Heaven approves will the divine beast be sent down.

"Your Majesty will definitely win." The Jade Goddess twirled his beard and said with a smile, "I'm just curious, what kind of divine beast will descend from the sky this time?"

"There are many auspicious beasts."

In terms of family and academic background, the Manchu Dynasty was inferior to the third generation Guiguzi Wang Ban in civil and military affairs.

He counted on his fingers: "The divine beasts descended from the sky, such as the green dragon, white tiger, red bird, Xuanwu, Phoenix, Qilin, and even the twelve zodiac signs, peacock, roc, etc., can all be classified as divine beasts. "While speaking, the space above the palace suddenly became distorted!

A crack seemed to be cut by a knife, and Fan Li walked out of it alone.

"Why are you all staring at me?"

He completely forgot that the [Battle to Recognize the Lord] would inevitably arouse the concern of the officials.

"Um..." Hu Zongxian looked around and took the initiative to ask: "Your Majesty, have you subdued the divine beasts descended from the sky?"

Fan Li suddenly realized.

He shook his head: "No."

All the ministers looked surprised!

Failed to conquer?

How can it be?

At the beginning, even weak masters such as Han Emperor Liu Xie conquered Xuanwu after a hard battle.

The officials looked at Fan Li and saw that he was well-dressed and had a natural demeanor. He did not look like he had gone through a hard battle. How could he be defeated?

"cough!"

It was Hu Zongxian who spoke.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. A mere divine beast cannot determine the fate of the country. As long as your Majesty works hard to govern, the Jin Dynasty will surely prosper..."

To be honest, Hu Zongxian is really not suitable for flattery.

Fan Li saw his awkward expression and finally understood what was going on.

"Ai Qing misunderstood."

"The divine beast descended from the sky has been defeated by me. It's just that the beast made me unhappy, so I let it go after giving it a good beating."

Hearing what Fan Li said, the ministers' jaws almost dropped to the ground!

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, have you really given up on the divine beast?" The Jade Goddess looked mournful, staring at Fan Li with the rare look of a prodigal son. "What a pity, what a pity!"

Among the ministers, the heads of the five major families were even more expressive.

Lu Zhi's face was full of disappointment, and he thought to himself that he had made a mistake and the new king was not as good as the old master?

What Han Emperor Liu Xie could do, Fan Li couldn't do?

"My dear friends."

Seeing the officials like this, Fan Li's expression gradually became serious.

"The fate of the country depends on the emperor, the civil and military ministers, and the people. How can we place our hope in the so-called divine beasts descended from the sky?"

Fan Li was eloquent and showed strong self-confidence.

The ministers were affected by him, and while they were excited, they were also secretly ashamed of their momentary wavering and hesitation.

"Your Majesty's Holy Instructions, I and all sentient beings will remember them!"

The ministers all knelt down and kowtowed, not only to clarify their ambitions, but also to admit their mistakes.

Fan Li smiled with satisfaction.

In the Jinluan Hall, the monarch and his ministers continued to discuss unfinished state affairs.

But only half a day later, suddenly there was a sound from the distant horizon.

This is the art of transmitting sounds to the world in the Mahayana realm!

"I am the Great Ci Yaoguang. Today I receive the divine beast [Nine-Colored Deer] from heaven."

"God bless you and be merciful, may you be prosperous forever!"

……

…………

video call.

"Fan Li, what do you think this is?"

Xiang Ning has a painting in her hand that she just completed.

The content of the painting is actually the mythical beast Nine-Colored Deer.

Xiang Ning's painting skills are quite good. The nine-color deer leaps and turns on the paper and is lifelike, and even the elegant and graceful posture of the female animal is displayed.

"Empress Yaoguang's newly conquered mythical beast. She rides it to show off her power outside the Pure Land, trying to persuade Han Yue to surrender."

"I remember the appearance of the mythical beast and drew it on paper, but I don't know what species it is."

"Fan Li, you are well-informed, tell me quickly, is this beast...a deer...or a horse?"

When Xiang Ning said the last few words, his tone increased, and he felt like he was gritting his teeth.

"Um, this, Your Majesty?"

Fan Li was very embarrassed.

Never in my wildest dreams did I think that there would be retribution for such a thing?

"Say?" Xiang Ning also urged: "Why don't you speak? My good prime minister and good Duke of Jin? I am young and ignorant, and I don't know whether this beast is a deer or a horse. Please help me quickly." "

Fan Li suddenly wanted to know who gave Xiang Ning the courage to settle old scores with him?

Could it be Hanyue?

Or, is it yourself?

The word 'arrogant due to favor' flashed through Fan Li's mind in a strange way.

He looked at Xiang Ning again, and there was indeed a hint of arrogance on his delicate and well-behaved face.

A few words of curse?

Afraid of her crying.

beat?

I can't reach it, and I'm afraid I'll cry even more if I really hit him.

"Alas! How can a man stay depressed and depressed for a long time?" Fan Li complained helplessly in his heart.

Fortunately, he knew that the best way to deal with this situation was to change the subject.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Xiang Ning was stunned.

For many years, she had never seen Fan Li so solemn.

Something's up?

This kind of tone and tone is a major matter, even a national matter!

She immediately put the past events of referring to a deer as a horse behind her, sat upright, and almost blurted out the words "accurate" before she remembered that she was not in the Dachu Palace.

"You...just say it, I'll listen."

"Yes."

Fan Li nodded with a serious expression.

"Your Majesty, the envoys of Great Mercy have frequently visited the three kingdoms of Wei, Han and Wu recently. According to the intelligence analysis obtained by the minister, Yaoguang believes that the time is ripe and will finally take action against Emperor Jiajing."

Xiang Ning was shocked when he heard this.

"Yaoguang and the Three Kingdoms are finally going to surround Emperor Jiajing? Are they sure of success?"

Fan Li shook his head.

"How Yaoguang planned it, I was excluded and the details are unknown. But I can conclude that this battle will be the prelude to the unification of the world."

"Your Majesty, the short-term peace is over, and the war is about to begin."

Xiang Ning asked hurriedly: "Will Da Chu be involved in the war? What are you going to do?"

"The world is in chaos, how can Chu be spared?" Fan Li paused for a moment, then slowly said: "I will personally lead the army, destroy Da Ci, depose the false emperor Xiang Chong, and welcome your Majesty to return to the court!"

I am still ill and have few words, so please forgive me.
