The stunned expression on her face hasn't disappeared yet, and she speaks in an adorable way.
Seeing this, Li Changping finally felt a little relieved.
But even so, I still feel unhappy.
No one would be happy if the deepest secret in their heart was called out openly by others, even if it happened in their dreams.
But in an instant I became sad again.
In other words, in the illusion, I have to fight with Li Chunfeng who understands me?
He also tried hard to think that Li Chunfeng was a waste, but it was of no avail.
In his mind, Li Chunfeng seemed to be the one who knew everything.
"Humph! It's just a game of chess, so just play it."
There was no way to avoid it, so he just sat in Yuan Tiangang's seat without any hesitation.
Then he casually threw a black piece onto the chessboard.
"In the Central Plains, there are evil leaders secretly plotting to restore the country, and in the open, there are many princes scheming against each other. There are countless great heavens inside, and there is more than one above the great heaven. Without the three sacred sands, how dare I set foot in rashly?"
"But you didn't expect that you are the prince of the Tang Dynasty, the direct descendant of Emperor Taizong."
Li Chunfeng picked up another piece and placed it next to the black piece.
"So what? I'm not that plum blossom."
Seeing that he was well-behaved, Li Changping simply went ahead and took out another chess piece from the chess box.
Let it roll around on the chessboard, and finally lie quietly in a corner.
Li Chunfeng was not affected, and he took another piece and said, "Go find the bad commander, he will help you."
"help me?"
Li Changping sneered, his eyes full of mockery: "I have come to this point today because I fought my way out of a sea of blood and corpses. This internal strength has nothing to do with others."
"Help me. Why didn't he help me when I was suffering in the blood coffin? Why didn't he protect me when I was living on the streets? Where was he when I was deceived and betrayed?"
"Help me now? I don't appreciate it! And I don't need help from others."
As they were talking, the two men dropped three pieces in a row, but one of Li Changping's pieces had already been eaten.
"But then, you were a commoner, and now you are His Majesty the Great Tang. To do your job well, you must first conquer your people."
"What kind of people? Making them tremble under my sword, does that count as conquering them?"
"Your Highness, you are indeed unfit to be a king."
"Whether it is suitable or not is up to the people of the world to decide. Who are you?"
The two of them were talking back and forth, their words and hand movements were almost synchronized.
In the blink of an eye, the chessboard was filled with chess pieces.
However, the white pieces occupy the vast majority, with only a few black pieces.
"Haha, you lose, Your Highness."
Li Chunfeng finished his last move, and the chessboard was already won. He shook his head helplessly and said, "I've said it before, this is the way of heaven, it cannot be changed, and it cannot be replaced."
"You are right. The way of heaven cannot be changed."
Li Changping agreed, but just as Li Chunfeng turned around to watch in surprise, he changed the subject.
"But this day, it depends on who decides the day, the emperor who is high above? Or the common people who are up and down in this chaotic world?"
Chapter 49 Chess Game
Bianzhou.
In the depths of the Imperial Palace, in the dark and gloomy dungeon of His Highness Jiao Lan, two figures, one black and one white, appeared today.
The two men advanced along the tunnel that was lit by the bone and corpse oil.
Soon I saw a big door.
At this time, Bai Wuchang seemed to be hesitating to back down.
He pointed at the dungeon door, pulled the sleeve of the person next to him and said, "Brother, are we really going to let Zhu Youwen out? It's been so many years, and I don't know how his skills have improved?"
"hey-hey."
Hei Wuchang just smiled and took out a gourd from his arms.
"This is Zhu Yougui's blood, and it is also the key to unlocking the Ghost King. As long as we get the first volume of the Nine Nether Mysterious Heaven Divine Art from him, His Majesty will give us the second volume."
"When we have this magical power, who in this world can stop us brothers and sisters?"
"That was not what I meant……"
Bai Wuchang waved his hands and said with a worried look on his face: "Brother, it's easy to unseal the Ghost King, but we betrayed him in the beginning, after all, what do you think..."
"Then there's even less need to worry, look at this..."
As he spoke, Hei Wuchang reached into his arms again and took out another lotus as white as jade.
The appearance of the first day of the lunar year made the temperature of this already chilly secret passage drop even lower.
"Thousand-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus! Compared to the violent medicinal power of the thousand-year-old Fire Ganoderma, this treasure is more suitable for people like us who practice Yin-cold internal strength to absorb."
"This is also..."
Bai Wuchang looked at it carefully for a moment, and indelible greed immediately burst out of his eyes.
Just as he was about to touch it, Hei Wuchang quickly put it away.
"Yes, this is also a gift from His Majesty. If you use this to lure Zhu Youwen, there is no reason for him not to be fooled."
Bai Wuchang was somewhat dissatisfied and said, "Brother, instead of giving this treasure to Zhu Youwen, why don't we brothers and sisters absorb it ourselves?"
"Xuan Ling, you don't understand! Your Majesty soaked this snow lotus in the blood of the five poisons, and then asked me to feed it with corpse poison. The medicinal power and toxicity in it have long been mixed together."
A hint of viciousness flashed in Hei Wuchang's eyes, and an evil smile appeared on his face.
"As long as Zhu Youwen is greedy and eager to use this thing to restore his power, the poison will mix with the medicinal power and enter his body without anyone noticing. Every time he uses his power, the poison will become more severe."
"If you let him out, he won't be able to live for many days!"
----
In the tomb of Li Chunfeng.
The chess game in front of Li Changping changed again.
He no longer knew how long he had been in the chess game, he only knew that the confrontation between the two had never stopped.
Whether it was a war of words or chess skills, one word after another, one game after another.
From the initial overwhelming success to the current match. From the previous casual actions to the current full concentration.
"Heavenly Way? What is Heavenly Way? Is the hexagram you are referring to Heaven?"
Li Changping slammed a black piece hard on the chessboard, then picked up two bouncing white pieces into his palm.
"So, you just sit and watch the yellow robes being put on? You just sit and wait for the hungry wolf to invade the south? You don't care that the Qin family is ruining the country? You don't care that the Central Plains is trapped in one place? Since you can't change it, what dynasty did you join? Why do you get to eat the salary of the Tang Dynasty?"
Facing his questioning, Li Chunfeng showed no fear. He also made a move and put away the two black pieces.
"The laws of nature are constant. They do not exist for the sake of Yao or die for the sake of Jie. Once a ruler rises, the sun and the moon will still run parallel to each other."
"Is this your heaven, Li Chunfeng?"
Li Changping sneered.
"It's a joke. Just a few pieces of tortoise shells and a few copper coins... can you decide the direction of the world? If this is the case, then it's better not to have it!"
“Although copper coins are few in number, they are the medium by which all things are measured!”
"You also know that it carries the wishes of all things? Then why... don't you listen to the wishes of all people?"
In the midst of a war of words.
Several more black and white chess pieces fell, and neither side gave in to the other. They were like two giant dragons, entangled and wrestling on the chessboard.
"Your so-called wish of the people is to slaughter everyone with the sword in your hand? Do you intend to sit on the cold throne with this murderous aura crawling out of the sea of blood?"
"Killing? Hahahaha."
Li Changping suddenly stood up with wild laughter, then slapped the chessboard in front of him away with one palm, looking at Li Chunfeng with cold eyes.
"Where did this prosperous Tang Dynasty come from? Was it based on some kind of compassion? Ridiculous!"
"During the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the Nine-surname Tiele rebelled. Xue Rengui, a great general in the court, conquered Tianshan with three arrows. Fearing that he would become a future threat, he killed more than 100,000 of his people and forced his princess to be his concubine. From then on, the Nine-surname Tiele disappeared from the world..."
"Gao Xianzhi was greedy by nature. He even made peace with the Shi Kingdom in the name of peace, captured the king and his people, killed the old and weak, and looted the gold, cattle and horses, all of which he kept for himself. Since then, the Shi Kingdom has been incorporated into the territory of our Great Tang."
"Those Japanese overseas are ambitious people! They dared to openly slap the imperial letter of "The Son of Heaven Where the Sun Rises to the Son of Heaven Where the Sun Sets" on the dragon desk of the Sui emperor. The Sui Dynasty was short-lived, and our general Liu Rengui defeated 40,000 enemies with 10,000 at the Baijiangkou Pass, killing them until the sea water turned red."
"Su Dingfang conquered several countries, how could there be so much blood on his hands?"
"Emperor Taizong attacked Goguryeo. Mohe dared to surrender and then rebel again, taking advantage of the situation to rob. So he buried 3,000 of his men."
"Yang Sixu has killed 200,000 people and 81 people in Jingguan."
"Bai Guangyuan attacked Tubo. He killed 50,000 people and captured people and livestock for 300 miles."
"Zhang Zhongwu destroyed the Huihe people, killing and capturing nearly 90,000 people, young and old."
"There are also Wang Xuance, Li Guangbi, Guo Xiaoke and others."
"From ancient times to the present, when it comes to foreign massacres, no dynasty has surpassed ours."
"Where did this glorious Tang Dynasty come from? Why did the surrounding countries try so hard to submit to the Tang Dynasty? How could Xuanzang, a monk who stowed away across the border, receive courtesy from other countries?"
"Isn't it the fear of our Great Tang? Isn't it the witness of those white bones? Think about the Zhenguan period. How could an outsider dare to bully a Tang person, even if he was a beggar?"
"The resources in this world are limited. During the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, if we had not plundered and killed the foreign tribes, how could the Tang Dynasty stand at the top of the world with only three million households?"
As he spoke, his momentum became stronger.
A pair of red-gold eyes, full of murderous intent, shocked Li Chunfeng.
But he only calmed himself down a little before speaking again.
"But what will that bring? The Tang Dynasty destroyed countless countries, so what if the Tang people stood on top of the world?"
"Everyone is watching him. Once he weakens, he will face even more fierce retaliation."
"The capital was captured six times, and the emperor fled nine times."
"The Tubo invaded the country, and all the people suffered."
"Huang Chao rose up everywhere, and almost all the living people were wiped out."
"Open your eyes and look at the devastation. Your Li family has brought disaster to the world. Are you still unwilling to let go?"
Li Chunfeng said this and waved his hand.
The scenery in front of Li Changping changed again.
The singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers disappeared, replaced by a scene of devastation.
Broken limbs and arms could be seen everywhere, and there was a faint sound of a baby crying in the distance.
Li Changping wanted to look in the direction where the sound came from.
But before he could get close, he saw a flash of silver light before his eyes, and the crying stopped abruptly.
At the same time, Li Chunfeng's voice rang in his ears again.
"Look, this is all the fault of the Li family. The suffering of the people is inseparable from your Li family. Do you have anything else to say?"
"This? Is this the sin of my ancestors?"
Li Changping looked at his hands silently, and an inexplicable feeling of powerlessness surged into his heart.
I originally thought of myself as an outsider, but now that I truly know my own identity, I understand how heavy the burden on my shoulders is.
As the saying goes, a son inherits his father's legacy and a son pays his father's debts.
Although, it was the inaction of a series of previous Li emperors that led to the current situation.
But he could not get rid of the blood mark in his body, and could no longer be an outsider.
