I really don't want to be a traitor

Chapter 456: Destiny Can Be Violated
"Emperor Ming!"

"Please obey the destiny and ascend to heaven according to the imperial edict!"

When Li Changgeng saw Emperor Jiajing sitting on the throne, he had no intention of accepting the recruitment order in his hand.

He finally got a little anxious.

Everything seemed not as smooth as he thought before coming to earth.

Isn’t it a mortal’s lifelong dream to ascend to immortality?
Li Changgeng's colleagues, those angels from thousands of years ago, or even tens of thousands of years ago, who didn't hold a recruitment order and easily persuaded the strong men in the world to ascend to heaven?
In particular, there was a period of time in the mortal world called [Spring and Autumn Period], and later it was renamed [Warring States Period]. The most powerful people emerged in large numbers and there were many heroes.

Angels at that time could convince a country or even several countries to ascend to the fairy world at once!

Li Changgeng especially remembered that there was once a vassal state named [Wuzhou], and the founding empress was unparalleled in her magnificence.

When her country ascended, she even brought along two small vassal countries with considerable strength.

How abundant were the soldiers in the fairy world at that time? How powerful is the combat power?
"no!"

"The Ming Dynasty is the most powerful country in the world. Now that the immortal world is facing a shortage of soldiers, the Ming Dynasty must ascend!"

Li Changgeng thought of the war in the fairy world and felt the huge pressure on his shoulders.

Throughout the ages, it has been rare for an angel to return empty-handed.

There was one time.

A certain dynasty refused to ascend, unwilling to replenish the fairy world as a source of troops.

As a result, the immortal world was blamed on the mortal world, and the dynasty was destroyed.

Once the army's resources were turned into powder, the world was devastated.

Even if the dynasty changes, all things in the world will wither due to the war, and they can only passively recuperate and recuperate, and they are still unable to send troops to support the fairy world.

It was a painful time.

There is pain in the human world, and there is pain in the fairy world.

"Emperor of the Ming Dynasty." Li Changgeng said with a serious face, "Don't break the rules of the immortal and mortal worlds because of one person's greed. Otherwise, even if you are as powerful as you, it will only be a way to die."

"Be bold!"

"presumptuous!"

"court death!"

In the Jinluan Palace, the officials of the Ming Dynasty did not care about Li Changgeng's identity.

If you dare to offend their king and father in this way, if you don't scold them at this time, you will be an unfaithful, unfilial and unjust minister.

Especially the officials of the strict party, who had just been on the list of gods, were the most fierce in scolding.

Li Changgeng has an elegant demeanor and a dignified appearance. He doesn't even bother to lower his status and become a shrew with ordinary people.

He just had a sullen face and stared at Emperor Jiajing.

"My lords, be silent."

Emperor Jiajing finally spoke.

With four simple words, Jinluan Palace returned to its former peace.

He looked directly at Li Changgeng and asked seemingly casually: "What's the beauty of ascending to immortality?"

This question is beyond everyone’s expectation!
Do you still need to ask about the benefits of becoming an immortal?

Li Changgeng holds his head high and his chest high, carrying a sense of pride from the immortal family.

"Take off your mortal body and become an immortal body, and you can enjoy endless life!"

Wow~~~~~~~~~~~~!

It is said that immortals have infinite longevity, which was confirmed by Li Changgeng. It is indeed true!
The officials of the Ming Dynasty were excited!

Especially for some veterans, it is already dusk and their life span is about to end, but now they seem to see the hope of life!
"What else?" Emperor Jiajing continued to ask.

"What? Isn't this enough?" Li Changgeng frowned.

longevity.

Isn’t longevity what mortals care about most?
Why is he not satisfied?

Emperor Jiajing shook his head firmly: "Not enough, far from enough. What else can you get by ascending to the immortal world and becoming an immortal?"

Li Changgeng blushed and couldn't answer.

He vaguely felt that the other party's question was clearly digging a hole for himself, or even for the fairy world.

The Ming court officials who were originally excited gradually calmed down when they saw Li Changgeng's embarrassed expression.

Emperor Jiajing continued to ask questions.

"To become an immortal, are there endless elixirs and endless resources? Are there exotic flowers, rare herbs, and miraculous elixirs everywhere in the immortal world?"

Li Changgeng was silent.

But the more silent he became, the more disappointed he saw in the eyes of the Ming court officials.

"If I become an immortal, can I play songs every night, enjoy wine pools and meat forests, enjoy endless wealth, and spend endless amounts of gold, silver, and spiritual stones?"

Li Changgeng continued to be silent, and Ming Dynasty civil and military officials became more and more surprised!

"When you become an immortal, can you be pure and free? You no longer have to work hard, and you are no longer bound by restrictions?" All civil and military officials were shocked!

Seeing that Li Changgeng couldn't answer, they thought to themselves, even this?

wealth!

resource!

It’s okay if you don’t have these, but you can’t even be pure and happy?

What’s so good about becoming an immortal?
"Ha ha……"

Emperor Jiajing smiled again.

His fingers tapped on the imperial desk rhythmically, making 'dong', 'dong', and 'dong' sounds.

Every knock seemed to hit Li Changgeng's heart.

"Give me long life."

"Drive me to the battlefield."

"A general will inevitably die in every battle."

"How can a tired soldier live in vain?"

Suddenly, Yan Song spoke, and his voice echoed in the Jinluan Palace.

Li Changgeng seemed to be troubled, and his face became extremely ugly.

Yan Song slowly knelt on the ground, kowtowed and started playing.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what kind of war there is in the immortal world."

"But according to what the angel said, after my Ming soldiers ascend to heaven, there seems to be no other option but to fight to the death in bloody battles?"

"I am a foolish old man, but I also feel that such an ascension is not immortality at all, but just seeking death!"

After Yan Song finished speaking, deathly silence returned to the Jinluan Palace again.

Eerily quiet!
Only the faint breathing sound that the ministers deliberately suppressed was left!
No one dared to speak, but everyone had the same thought.

select.

Endless longevity until death in battle.

Or maybe you have a limited lifespan, but you can live a happy life with good food and clothing.

Is this still a choice?

"Your Majesty, I thought that the immortal world was nothing more than this, but the mortal world. Under the wise leadership of Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty..."

Yan Song spoke slowly, but his attitude was bright.

The fairy world is just like this.

Immortals are nothing more than that.

There is no need to be bewitched by Li Changgeng, as long as he loyally follows Emperor Jiajing.

"Wait a moment!"

Li Changgeng finally couldn't stand it anymore!
"Heaven has its own rules!"

"There are some things that I cannot tell mortals. Only after you ascend to heaven will you naturally know everything."

"This Immortal Envoy can only say that since each of you here is strong enough, you have the obligation to go to the Immortal Realm to participate in the war!"

As Li Changgeng spoke, his eyes scanned the officials of the Ming Dynasty over and over again.

He was disappointed.

Although his words are cryptic, a dignified angel would never lie to a mortal, right?

We have told them that everyone is obliged to participate in the war, but these Ming officials are indifferent?

Helpless, Li Changgeng gritted his teeth.

"besides!"

"As long as you perform enough feats on the battlefield, you can apply to return to the human world and remove your armor and return to the fields!"

"Li Yu and Shi Jingtang are all like this!"

As Li Changgeng spoke, he even had a flattering smile on his face.

Shame!
He is an angel, but in order to recruit soldiers for the fairy world, he wants to please a group of mortals?
But even so, no one present was willing to take the initiative to stand up and ask for immortality.

"Li Changgeng."

"Um!?"

Li Changgeng was stunned when he heard Emperor Jiajing calling his name.

But he still looked at Emperor Jiajing with great expectation, hoping that he would be summoned to ascend to heaven.

"You can go back."

"Da Ming, I won't ascend for the time being."
