Eternal Sword

Chapter 234: Trusting the Wrong Person
When Chen Tang ran over here, he actually had countless plans in his mind.

The solar eclipse finally dissipated.

We can completely make up a story based on Yuan Qingshan's identity as the reincarnation of Buddha and say that Yuan Qingshan used the power of Buddha to drive out the evil spirits and bring light back to the world.

Magic can only be defeated by magic.

Just like the three shortcomings of Wang Anshi in his previous life: natural disasters are not to be feared, ancestors are not to be followed, and people's words are not to be pitied, Chen Tang had already prepared a draft for them.

If it doesn't work, just go up and start a debate to muddy the waters.

But when he really arrived at the altar, Chen Tang realized that he was still a little naive.

Wang Anshi could point out the three shortcomings because he had the emperor's support.

But here, imperial power was clearly suppressed.

Moreover, he was just a young man in his teens and had no authority at all in his interpretation of celestial phenomena.

Even though he was named Lion-Tiger Arhat and Prince's Guardian by the Emperor, his influence was far less than that of Xuantian Sect.

Xuantian Sect holds the power to interpret all celestial phenomena and symbolizes absolute authority.

If he stepped forward and wanted to defeat magic with magic, it would be just wishful thinking.

If you say that natural disasters are not to be feared, and that ancestors are not to be followed... just these two points, I'm afraid they will be drowned in the spit of officials and people all over the world.

More importantly, these tricks are vulnerable in the face of the absolute strength of Master Xuantian!
When Sect Leader Xuantian's gaze swept over him just now, Chen Tang even had a feeling in his heart.

As long as he dares to stand up and make a rebuttal, Sect Leader Xuantian will definitely take the opportunity to kill him in the name of an ominous celestial phenomenon!

Yuan Qingshan is the emperor, and unless Xuantian Sect disregards its reputation, it will not bear the name of regicide.

Yuan Qingmo is the King of Wei and a member of the royal family.

Chen Tang came from a humble background and had only two empty titles.

Master Xuantian will kill him without any scruples or mercy!
To put it another way, even if Master Xuantian wanted to take action against Yuan Qingshan, he would have to get past Murong Daoye.

But if anyone wants to touch him, Murong Daoye will never show up.

Chen Tang smelled an unusual scent of danger and stood outside the altar, with his head lowered and eyes dropped, remaining silent.

Master Xuantian withdrew his gaze with a hint of disappointment.

This boy had a wild temperament, did not respect etiquette and was extremely aggressive. This can be seen from the way he deposed Zhou Shuang and killed Kong Cong.

Logically speaking, he should have been unable to hold back and jumped out to defend the emperor.

He took advantage of the solar eclipse, and since the situation was already established, he took this opportunity to kill him, teach the emperor a lesson, and cut off his arm!

Unexpectedly, this boy actually endured it.

Yuan Qingshan said in a deep voice: "After all, the solar eclipse has dissipated. God is merciful. I have punished myself with blood. Perhaps God has calmed down. Imperial Master, please do not vent your anger on others."

"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."

Sect Leader Xuantian waved his sleeves and walked away into the air.

There were two women in long robes, one in black and one in red, following behind Sect Leader Xuantian.

These two are the left and right guardians of Xuantian Sect, and their status is second only to the Sect Master of Xuantian Sect.

Yuan Qingshan said a few more words to appease the officials, and then they dispersed.

When all the ministers had dispersed, only Du, Yuan Qingmo, Yuan Qingmu and Chen Tang who were walking towards this side were left on the altar.

Yuan Qingshan let out a sigh of relief, his body swayed and he almost fell.

I just wrote this confession of repentance, which took up a lot of my energy and effort.

Yuan Qingshan was just trying to hold on in front of all the officials so as not to show any weakness.

"Qingshan!"

Mrs. Du hurried forward to support him, gently wiped the beads of sweat on Yuan Qingshan's forehead, and asked with a worried look, "How are you? Are you okay?"

"It's okay, don't worry."

Yuan Qingshan smiled at Mrs. Du.

"elder brother!"

"Brother Royal."

Yuan Qingmu and Yuan Qingmo also came to the altar, their faces full of concern.

Yuan Qingshan saw Chen Tang coming too, and couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile, and whispered: "Could this really be God's will?"

At this moment, Yuan Qingshan's confidence was shaken and he began to doubt himself.

"This is not God's will at all." Chen Tang said, "The solar eclipse can be seen by Nanxia, ​​Hanyu, and the barbarian land. The world is not just the Qian Kingdom, and you, Senior Brother, are not the ruler of the world. Even if the ruler is immoral, why isn't there a problem on their side?"

"Not bad!"

Yuan Qingshan's eyes lit up.

A solar eclipse is an ominous sign from heaven and has always been directed at rulers throughout history.

But there is a biggest flaw here, that is, there is not only Qian Kingdom in the world.

Next, we can publicize this point and minimize the impact of this matter!
"go!"

Yuan Qingshan was greatly encouraged and said, "Let's go back and discuss it. We should try to spread this message throughout the capital and even the states of Qian Country."

Mrs. Du supported Yuan Qingshan and walked towards the bedroom.

Chen Tang looked at Yuan Qingshan's back in silence.

In fact, he was not optimistic about the follow-up of this matter.

Thinking back to what Master Xuantian had just said, perhaps this celestial phenomenon was just an opportunity for the Xuantian Sect to fight back.

The real crisis is yet to come!

……

The General's Mansion.

Murong Daoye returned from the altar and went straight to the secret room in the backyard.

"problem occurs?"

When Qin Xi saw Murong Daoye's expression, he guessed that something big might have happened outside.

Murong Daoye said in a deep voice: "You didn't go out to see it today, and you missed a big event. The solar eclipse will reappear in Shenzhou!"

"Oh?"

Qin Xi's expression changed, and a light flashed in his eyes.

After a moment's silence, Qin Xi slowly said, "The emperor is in danger!"

Murong Daoye recounted the entire process of what happened at the Heavenly Altar from beginning to end, and said, "Your Majesty's response was very quick. We have temporarily overcome the crisis and put this matter behind us."

"it's useless."

Qin Xi shook his head and said, "How could the Xuantian Sect miss this opportunity? The punishment from heaven will surely come, and by then, the emperor will be in big trouble!"

Murong Daoye asked, "Do you believe that a solar eclipse is a bad omen?"

"Do you believe it, Senior?"

Qin Xi didn't answer, but asked back with a smile.

Murong Daoye said: "Throughout the history of the world, it is recorded that whenever a solar eclipse occurs, all kinds of chaos will occur in the world, such as drought, flood, plague, war, and other natural and man-made disasters."

"I didn't believe it at first, but it happens every time. It's too much of a coincidence."

Qin Xi smiled.

Unexpectedly, even with the cultivation level of the God of War Murong, his understanding of this matter also has his limitations.

Qin Xi said calmly: "This is not a coincidence, nor is it God's will. It's just that every time there is a solar eclipse, someone will take the opportunity to cause chaos. The celestial phenomenon is just an opportunity, and people are the root cause of the chaos!"

Murong Daoye sighed and said, "In that case, the emperor will not survive this disaster."

"Are you feeling sorry for him?"

Qin Xi asked.

Murong Daoye nodded and said, "He is a good emperor, young and promising, caring for the people, and..."

At this point, Murong Daoye paused, then said, "He looks a bit like your father."

Qin Xi said: "But you won't save him."

Murong Daoye remained silent.

Saving Yuan Qingshan would only lead to a conflict between him and the Yuwen family and the Xuantian Sect, and would consume the strength of the Murong family in advance.

"What a pity! The emperor personally came to your house, invited you to come out of retirement, and entrusted you with an important task, but at the last moment, you abandoned him. He is indeed very similar to my father..."

At this point, Qin Xi paused for a moment, a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes, and then he slowly said, "You all trusted the wrong person."

Murong Daoye said nothing and left.
