dawn of dynasty

Chapter 258: At the bottom of the Zhenlong River, the sleeping divine sword
In the main room, Shen Guanye's face was ugly and he was still confused.

Lu Boxiang looked at Shen Guanye and said in surprise:

"You don't want to save people, do you?"

Lu Boxiang knew something about the relationship between Bai Huaian and Shen Guanye. He knew that Shen Guanye was promoted by Bai Huaian.

In the past, Shen Guanye was promoted all the way and "picked up" several lairs from Hong Canghai. On the one hand, it was certainly because he was really up to date, often making unexpected moves and making meritorious deeds many times.

On the other hand, it is also because Bai Huaian has been working behind the scenes.

Without Bai Huaian, Shen Guanye would still have risen all the way up, but not as fast!And if it wasn't so fast, he wouldn't be able to get the heroic spirits of a squadron in the Donghai Office - this is a huge force.

"It's not feasible."

Seeing that Shen Guanye did not deny it, Lu Boxiang's expression became more serious.

"We repelled Hong Canghai's first round of attacks. With the endorsement of the central government, the two sides have entered a balance of power. As long as we no longer actively provoke Hong Canghai, Hong Canghai will have no reason to take action again."

"However, if we go to rescue people, Hong Canghai can continue to kill us, because this time he is fighting back and fighting back, rather than actively provoking."

Shen Guanye nodded slightly.

Politics is like this sometimes. It pays attention to the principle of reciprocity and looks more like a turn-based game. You make one move and the other party makes another move. If you want to make two moves in a row, you are breaking the rules.

Once the rules are broken, it will be difficult for people who were originally inclined to you to speak for you.

"Besides—"

Lu Boxiang continued.

"Hong Canghai probably didn't expect that you would go over to save people."

After all, no one would be so impulsive, so irrational, so "stupid".

Of course, Lu Boxiang did not say this.

"Based on my understanding of Hong Canghai, he did this more because he wanted to vent his incompetent rage. From the previous battle in Canglang City to the battle last night, this happened one after another. Yes, nothing goes smoothly for Hong Canghai."

"Everything is poking at his lung tubes. If he doesn't vent the anger and murderous intention in his heart, if he doesn't find an outlet, he will go crazy."

"It's just unfortunate that Bai Huaian ran into him, because your growth is inseparable from his help. You have a strong mark of belonging to Bai Huaian's faction."

"Of course, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the biggest approver of your promotion is actually Hong Canghai himself. Without Hong Canghai's own appreciation for you, no matter how hard Bai Huaian worked, you would not have been promoted so fast."

"But the biggest characteristic of superiors is that they don't admit mistakes easily. This was true for all the wise kings and wise ministers in ancient times, let alone a single man like Hong Canghai."

Lu Boxiang continued to follow the guidance.

In fact, it's nothing, it's just human nature. He himself is a superior, whether now or when he was still in the Bilong clan.

Just don't go too far.

"Hong Canghai will never admit that he made a mistake, so he must find a scapegoat."

Seeing that Shen Guanye's expression was still very complicated and he hesitated to speak, Lu Boxiang changed his angle.

"Don't take all the responsibility on yourself. What you did in the past two days was certainly one of the triggers for Bai Huaian's calamity. But in fact, even without you, Hong Canghai would sooner or later attack Bai Huaian."

"In the final analysis, the Bai family and Hong Canghai are not the same people. Bai Huaian often advises Hong Canghai, once or twice is fine, but once more, he will easily become annoying."

"Especially in recent years, Hong Canghai has become more and more greedy for pleasure, self-willed, and lacks tolerance for others. He will only find Bai Huaian more and more an eyesore."

As a former senior executive of the Bilong Clan, these words coming from Lu Boxiang's mouth are obviously extremely credible.

Shen Guanye couldn't help but look at everyone, his eyes swept over everyone participating in the meeting: his father Shen Shenghui, Su Yuan, Mr. Wumian, Lu Boxiang, Professor Lu, Tang Yingxiang, Byron, Mr. Feng, Taoist Master Youxuan...

Su Yuan's expression was calm but firm, as if telling Shen Guanye that as long as it is your decision, I will fully support it. Even if others are not willing to take this trip with you, I am willing.

Tang Yingxiang's expression was quite irritable and impatient. He looked like he wanted to take action and shouted, "Damn it! Why are you hesitating? Kill him!"

Byron looked like it had nothing to do with him and was quietly being a wallflower.

This matter indeed had nothing to do with him. Shen Guanye was surprised that he, a foreigner, could come to help him. How could he have the nerve to ask for more?
Except for the three of them, almost everyone else looked disapproving and hesitated to speak, wanting to persuade.

Even if it was Tang Yingxiang, even if he looked like he wanted to sue for murder, didn't he not sue for murder in the end?This shows that he is actually very worried.

Mr. Wu Mian thought for a moment and said:

"My meaning is the same as Brother Boxiang, but if you want to save people, I will accompany you."

Professor Lu also said:

"I will also accompany you for a walk."

Seeing this, Lu Boxiang couldn't help but smile and said:
"It seems that I am greedy for life and afraid of death. Brother Ye, if you really want to go, I will definitely accompany you!"

"That's right! We were able to defeat Hong once, why can't we defeat him a second time? If it doesn't work, I'll ask my father to send experts over!"

Tang Yingxiang took action.

Mr. Wumian and others have expressed their intention to "sacrifice their lives to accompany the gentleman". If he hesitates any longer, it will be too uninteresting and contrary to chivalry!

Mr. Wumian and others all looked at Tang Yingxiang.

It was impossible for Marshal Tang to send experts here. No matter how much he doted on his son, it was impossible for him to do so.

Shen Guanye couldn't help but shake his head.

He can't do that.

Hong Canghai may not have expected him to rescue people, but he must have laid a dragnet - what if there was an unexpected surprise?
Therefore, if he dares to go to Canglang City to save people, what awaits them will be a much stronger lineup than last night. Even those as strong as Professor Lu and the two brothers are in danger of falling.

He has clearly made a breakthrough and the situation is great. How can he coax everyone to go on an adventure with him?To waste a good situation?
This is not Mr. Wu Mian's responsibility. He cannot take advantage of the situation and involve them in unnecessary dangers.

But he was unwilling to do nothing and watch Bai Huaian die.

"Can you contact senior Xu Yansong and the others again to see if they are willing to rescue people with us?" Shen Guanye said.

It was impossible for Situ Nan to take action. As the central government, taking action against the warlords under his command was a very strong signal. The central government would not be able to do this unless it was fully prepared or was forced to do so.

Saving him and saving Bai Huaian are two different things.

To save him is to protect a national hero, to save Bai Huai'an is to interfere in the internal affairs of the warlords - none of the ten crimes Hong Canghai accused Bai Huai'an of were related to Shen Guanye. They were all corruption and perversion of the law, selling out officials, and forming cliques for personal gains. A type of crime.

But Xu Yansong, Huang Bijun and others were different. They were eager for Hong Canghai to be frustrated, so they were very likely to agree to help.

Lu Boxiang showed a wry smile in his heart.

I bet he said so much in vain.

As a person who has a deep hatred for Hong Canghai, if he can cause some trouble for Hong Canghai, he will definitely support it with both hands. Even he does not agree, which only shows that this matter is extremely dangerous.

But Shen Guanye still wanted to give it a try, so he could only say: Young man, you are brave.

However, such a person also makes people feel more comfortable leaving their back to him.

As an ally, would you feel more at ease with a person who is kind and righteous?Or would you feel more at ease with someone who is absolutely rational and can abandon anyone?
Obviously the former.

"You can give it a try."

Mr. Sleepless finally said.

Shen Guanye also decided to ask Shen Guanyu to test the tone of senior Gao Yaoli, although judging from the actions of this slightly eccentric senior last night, it was unlikely that he would be able to persuade him.

But what if?
After contacting Xu Yansong and others, they were indeed very interested in Shen Guanye's actions and promised to help.

But what happened next made everyone change their minds.

The Kingdom of Stars launched an attack on the Ghost Clan, severely damaging one of the Ghost Clan's troops and killing one of the twelve Ghost Kings.

Shen Guanye, the Gui clan, and the three clans of Jiandai, Guiyang and Shouxia all know why Zhongxing Kingdom does this. This is a shock!

After Hong Canghai suffered major setbacks one after another, the Star Kingdom finally came to an end.

The fate of the Star Kingdom did not explicitly say that it was to support Hong Canghai and attack the ghost clan's troops. They also found other excuses, but anyone with a discerning eye knows what it means.

All the major warlords have serious "foreign phobia", not to mention that this time they are going to face the strongest group of foreigners, the only superpower in the world - the Star Kingdom?

Therefore, several major warlords unanimously changed their tune.

In this regard, Shen Guanye had nothing to complain about. He was asking for help. Could he still blame the other party for being dishonest?Don't bring people like this.

In the end, Shen Guanye could only give up.

His father Shen Shenghui, his mother An Shi, Mr. Wu Mian, Professor Lu and his brothers, and even Mr. Feng all came to him in private and told him that there was nothing he could do.

Shen Guanye never said anything about going to save anyone again.

...Canglang City, Dansu Garden.

In the past, the White Mansion was bustling with people, but tonight it was in a state of panic.

"Dad, why don't you abscond and find someone to take your place?"

Bai Minyi looked at Bai Huaian sitting at the top and said anxiously.

Although he had decided to attack Bai Huaian, Hong Canghai still gave him the dignity he deserved, and so far he has not been jailed.

In the ancient hall, all the important figures of the Bai family were present - the patriarch was about to be shot. This was almost a life-or-death moment for the Bai family, even if it was not a matter of life and death.

Do you really think that Marshal Hong wanted to kill Bai Huaian, the leader of the clan who had great influence on the Bilong clan, just out of anger?

How can it be? !
Marshal Hong's actions today have already shown his attitude towards the entire Bai family. Even if he does not uproot the Bai family all at once today, he will probably slowly dismember the Bai family in the future like boiling frogs in warm water.

Marshal Hong has obviously been dissatisfied with the Bai family for a long time. He could originally hide it and suppress his personal likes and dislikes after weighing the pros and cons. However, under the recent series of major blows, the evil fire has attacked his heart and it is difficult to suppress it. , so that it suddenly appeared in this explosive way.

"Stupid! If I leave, our Bai family will be wiped out immediately!"

Bai Huaian scolded with a cold face.

He actually knew very well where Marshal Hong was dissatisfied with him and the Bai family.

Over the years, although they have been working under Marshal Hong, the Bai family members all have the pride of a thousand-year-old family and are actually very resistant to becoming traitors.

For this reason, when executing Marshal Hong's orders, he would often give advice and even disobey them.

The purpose is to make his family's reputation better and not lose the face of his ancestors.

But in fact, the moment the Bai family chose to surrender to Marshal Hong and work for him, the reputation of the Bai family was already tarnished. The subsequent actions were nothing more than completely black, or black with white.

Many members of the Bai family, including him, actually knew this.

But people are always so awkward, aren't they?
"It's all Shen Guanye's fault! What on earth is he doing? Before he did this, didn't he think about what it would bring to us?" Bai Minyi said angrily.

"To shut up!"

Bai Huaian suddenly became angry.

Bai Minyi also knew that he was careless with his words and said the wrong thing, and he was too shy to say anything.

"Okay! No one has died since ancient times, it's no big deal. If I don't die, it will be you who die. It's worth it to save my life in exchange for the lives of so many of you."

Finally, Bai Huaian said.

It was as if he was not the one about to die.

"only--"

After smiling sarcastically, Bai Huaian's expression turned serious again.

"After I leave, you need to be careful. You have to find a way to escape. Don't take chances and get boiled in warm water."

……

The moon was as cold as water, and Shen Guanye quietly flew out of the bedroom and landed on the ground.

Just as he was about to take action, he heard a laugh from the side.

"I'm just saying he won't give in, let's see."

Under the moonlight, in the shadows.

Lu Boxiang came out, followed by Professor Lu, Byron and Tang Yingxiang.

In another shadow, there are Mr. Wumian, Taoist Priest Youxuan and Su Yuan.

Finally, there are Shen Shenghui and Anshi.

Zhizi is nothing more than his parents. As parents, Shen Shenghui and Anshi not only did not breathe a sigh of relief, but became excited after seeing that Shen Guanye never mentioned going to the "Tribulation Field" again.

Shen Guanye's behavior showed that he had made a decision.

Shen Guanye's feet froze. He really thought about leaving Governor Bai alone.

It's not his fault.

Hong Canghai's despicableness and shamelessness are his business. He cannot fall into the other party's tricks and cannot be bullied by Hong Canghai's "gentleman."

But after hesitating and struggling, I still couldn't get over the hurdle in my heart.

Yes, other people have nothing to do with this matter, and he can't take other people with him to take risks.

But what about himself?
Is it okay with my conscience if I do nothing?
What's more, he has the ability to teleport close to him. Even if he is killed, he can escape at any time. In this case, it is unreasonable to retreat and not even try.

Therefore, yesterday, he had already decided that he could not take other people with him, but he must go there himself.

Unexpectedly, his thoughts were so obvious to his parents.

Shen Shenghui looked at his eldest son and tried his best to suppress the worry in his heart.

"I won't dissuade you anymore, just go ahead."

Shen Guanye glanced at everyone and smiled.

"it is good!"

"However, before I leave, I have to do one more thing."

……

After the surging Zhenlong River, Shen Guanye walked all the way down the river and finally came to a wide body of water, probably close to the middle section from Hongdong County to Canglang City.

Shen Guanye jumped into the river, and Shang Kui and the Gujian boy walked out of the Kingdom of God, one on the left and one on the right, like two guardians, accompanying Shen Guanye. The divine light they emitted also illuminated the dark bottom of the water. .

In the Kingdom of God, Lady Mo Mei and Lord Peach Blossom, as well as many heroic spirits with healing abilities in the Kingdom of God, are working hard to treat the Night Evil God.

In tomorrow's battle, the Night Evil God is crucial, so since he decided to go to the "Tribulation Field", Shen Guanye asked Lady Mo Mei and Taohuajun to treat the Night Evil God regardless of losses, and tried to protect the night evil spirit. The Evil God can regain his basic fighting ability before tomorrow.

Tomorrow's battle is destined to be a high-end battle.

Peach Blossom Lord is unlikely to be useful, so it doesn't matter if his vitality is seriously injured.

Not only Taohuajun, but also Lady Mo Mei, Shen Guanye only intends for her to return to the Kingdom of God after activating "Only pure Qi to fill the universe", so it does not matter at all that her vitality is greatly reduced, and it will not be a problem. And encountered life danger.

Finally, Shen Guanye and the two attendant gods came to the bottom of the river, and then he began to recite incantations.

The imperial seal, which had not been activated for a long time and was almost "gathering dust", finally saw the light of day again, as the imperial imperial seal was activated.

Runes of jade-colored runes centered on Shen Guanye and floated in all directions. Then, in the perception of Shen Guanye, Shang Kui, and Gujian Tongzi, the entire Zhenlongjiang River seemed to come alive.

The dark cyan fluorescence is centered on this place, pulsing up and down like a pulse.

The brightness and disappearance are uncertain, just like breathing.

Extraordinary auras gather here, giving birth to an extraordinary existence.

Shang Kui had a cautious look on his face, and this aura made him feel pressure.

In Shen Guanye's perception, at the bottom of the Zhenlong River, under the sand accumulated over thousands of years, a sharp energy was slowly rising, and soon appeared in front of several people.

It was an ancient sword with blue water, made of gold and iron, but it looked translucent, and blue sea water seemed to be surging inside.

This is the divine sword that Tianxia used to control the water back then!

It's also the artifact that Shen Guanye couldn't find before!

He said that this divine sword can definitely be used for imperial conferment!

Now?

Sure enough!

When he and Dragon Whale fought on the Zhenlong River before, he had some sense of induction, so he ran over in front of the "Tribulation Field".

With the "qualification" of this "Dragon-Suppressing Divine Sword", the strength of the God of Apocalypse who is sealed will definitely not be worse than that of Shang Kui and the Night Evil God. As long as he can be sealed successfully, he will have another 12th-level Apocalypse. Combat strength.

This will definitely be of great significance in the upcoming war!
Countless dark cyan rays of light converged towards the Divine Sword, as if they were trying to extract the essence of the entire Zhenlong River.

Finally, along with a burst of bright dark cyan brilliance, a voice that was clear but as cold as the abyss appeared.

"The little god - Shuizheng Longyuan, has met His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven."
