The Holy Emperor and the Holy Queen were really surprised to learn that Lucius was going to fight the demon army alone, originally they thought that Lucius was asking them to send him some soldiers and horses, and then cooperate with the weapons from the sky city in his hands.

But what the two saints didn't expect was that Lu Xius would actually lead the mechanical corps under his command alone to fight the demon clan in the south, and there was no need for the Holy Emperor and the Holy Queen to send a single soldier.

And the sentence that Lucius finally reminded also made the Holy Emperor and the Holy Queen suddenly realize that they were indeed a little underestimated, after all, in addition to the demon clan in the south, there was also a demon clan in the north that had been silent, and if they sent the elite to the south, the northern demon clan would have an opportunity.

Now the Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress couldn't help but sigh that Master and Lucius were indeed two far-reaching people who were always able to be prepared for danger in times of peace and consider possible problems in advance.

In fact, after this crisis, the Holy Emperor and the Holy Queen suddenly found that they had no momentum back then, and when facing the coercion of the national teacher, they didn't even dare to face it directly with the national teacher, so they could only choose to preserve their strength as tactfully as possible.

As a result, the national teacher was even more unscrupulous, and even used the Vermilion Bird Array in Chang'an City to deal with the master and Lucius who wanted to enter the city to help them.

It can be said that the army sent to the south was annihilated by the demon clan one after another, and the demon clan was able to conquer the city all the way and hit directly to the edge of the Tianjiang River, which also had the reason for the indecision of the Holy Emperor and the Holy Queen.

In vain, the good situation that should have been buried, and the whole situation began to get out of control, giving the demon clan too many opportunities to attack, and also giving the national teacher and the three sects a lot of opportunities to use their means, this qiē is a great deal to do with the Holy Emperor and the Holy Queen becoming conservative.

Lucius seemed to see the thoughts of the Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress, and the guilt of the two Tang Dynasty kings for themselves and their masters.

couldn't help but smile and said: "Hehe, Majesty Xià and Niangniang don't have to feel guilty, in fact, in this case." You did not choose to compromise with the Immortal Realm and the Buddha Kingdom, which can be regarded as the greatest support for Master and me. ”

As he spoke, Lucius slowly took two steps out, looked up at the sky in the distance, and his vision seemed to instantly penetrate the layers of palace walls, and he saw the master who was still fighting fiercely with the national teacher on Suzaku Street.

At this moment, Lucius remembered many years ago, when he was a child, when he traveled to the Western countries with the old alchemist, and witnessed too many miracles of defeating the strong with the weak, and he believed that even in the most desperate times. It is still possible to see hope in despair.

Lucius looked up at the sky, and suddenly said to the Holy Emperor and the Holy Queen, "You two can rest assured, in this battle against the Demon Clan, I will definitely return triumphantly." ”

Listening to Lucius's high-spirited words, the Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress glanced at each other, and they seemed to see their former selves from Lucius's body, when the Tang Dynasty had just been founded.

The first emperor laid down the country step by step, and it can be said that although there is the support behind the scenes of the immortal realm and the Buddha country. But in fact, most of the battles were fought by the Holy Emperor's brothers, and in that era, the Holy Emperor and the Holy Queen were also high-spirited, and they also used to give up their lives and forget death.

Even at the beginning of the Tang Empire. The first emperor was manipulated by the people of the immortal realm and the Buddha country, the Tang Empire was almost in the hands of the immortal realm and the Buddha kingdom, and when the royal family of the Tang Empire was reduced to a puppet, the Holy Emperor was still able to stand up. Turning the tide saved the entire imperial family and the Tang Empire.

The Tang Empire was able to have today's situation, and it was able to force the Immortal Realm and the Buddha Kingdom to rely on the power of the three religions and rely on the control of the Tang Empire. It is also the result of the strength of the Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress at the beginning.

It can be said that over the years, the Holy Emperor and the Holy Queen have needed to govern the country on the one hand, on the other hand, they have to fight against the Northern Demon Clan and the Southern Demon Clan, and finally they also need to face the continuous oppression of the Immortal Realm and the Buddha Kingdom.

So it's not that they have lost the hard work they had back then, but that they really can't afford to lose, if they really lose this time, then the Tang Empire will be destroyed in their hands, and the Immortal Realm and the Buddha Kingdom will also take the opportunity to completely control the entire East and begin to dominate the fate of the living beings in the East.

Thinking of this, the Holy Emperor couldn't help but sigh and said, "Hey, we are just a group of mortals after all, and perhaps in front of the gods, our struggles always seem insignificant. ”

Lucius heard the gloom in the Holy Emperor's words, turned around and stared at the Holy Emperor solemnly and said, "No, Your Majesty, what you said is not right, we seem to be insignificant to fight, but in fact, it is a kind of power, a force that can allow us, the people around us, to break the attempt of the high gods to control our destiny. ”

"If we give up even the last struggle, then what difference is there between us and the walking dead? Wouldn't we be giving away our fate, our own qiē, to others? Can you be willing? Can the people of the entire plane be willing?"

In the face of Lucius's questioning, the Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress were speechless, they knew very well in their hearts that they could not be reconciled, and those former sages who had fought in the East for thousands of years would not be reconciled, including the people of the East, they would not be reconciled, maybe not many people knew the truth, but no one would be willing to give in to fate.

Lu Xius was extremely strict, the smile that always hung on his face was gone, and he solemnly said to the Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress: "We don't need people to know about what we have done, and no one needs to remember it, as long as we can get a good result in the end and defeat those gods who are trying to enslave us, then it is worth it." ”

The Holy Emperor and the Holy Queen were shocked, they had heard Lucius's words more than once, and the two vaguely remembered some people and things many years ago.

At the beginning, when the Tang Dynasty had not yet been founded, and the Holy Emperor was just a son of a powerful minister, he once met a chivalrous man while traveling abroad, and that chivalrous man once said something similar to Lucius.

It can be said that the Holy Emperor was able to win many battles in the war back then, and created a lot of outstanding military exploits, behind which there was the credit of that chivalrous man, but it is a pity that later the Tang Dynasty was founded, and the Tang Empire gradually grew stronger, and that chivalrous man actually left.

After the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, he once searched everywhere for the whereabouts of that chivalrous man, wanting to invite him back and let him enter his court as an official.

The Holy Emperor felt that if there was that chivalrous man, plus the master, then he would be able to completely control the imperial court, and he would not have to look at the face of the Immortal Realm and the Buddha Kingdom like he did now.

But the Holy Emperor was not able to find the chivalrous man in the end, which has always been a regret in the heart of the Holy Emperor, today I heard Lucius say such a similar thing, the Holy Emperor seemed to see the figure of the chivalrous man from Lucius, it was not tall but the back of the world.

The Holy Emperor and the Holy Queen were a little lost, and suddenly a figure fell from the sky and landed directly in the royal garden where the Holy Emperor and the Holy Queen were located.

The Holy Emperor was startled at first, but after looking at it clearly, he found that the person who fell down was actually the Master, and the Holy Emperor immediately laughed excitedly, and took two steps forward and said to the Master: "Master, you, you are really fine, we were still worried about you just now." ”

Hearing this, the master looked at the Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress, and then at Lu Xiusi, who looked a little wolf, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that our troubles have just begun, and the old man tried his best, but in the end he still failed to take down that criminal, but he forcibly introduced the power of the Vermilion Bird, and he must have suffered a lot of injuries himself." ”

Lucius stepped forward and stretched out his hand to support the master, and at the moment when Lucius stretched out his hand, the master's body shook slightly, and blood spurted out from his mouth.

The Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress were all surprised when they saw this, the two did not expect that the master would actually be injured, and the two saints seemed to feel that the sky supporting them had collapsed all of a sudden.

However, after all, the two saints have been in charge of the court for many years, and they have experienced the era of war together, so they soon calmed down, and the Holy Emperor also stepped forward to support the master, and asked with concern: "Master, you, are you okay? Isn't the injury very serious, if it is very serious, I will immediately send someone to send you back to the academy?"

The master waved his hand, pushed away the Holy Emperor and Lucius, and said, "It's not in the way, it's just a small injury, people are old, their legs and feet are not as flexible as they were at the beginning, and some injuries are inevitable." ”

Then the master didn't delay much, turned his head to look at Lucius and said: "Lucius, you must be careful when you go, don't be rash, if you can't resist the attack of the demon clan, you must not carry it to death, it's a big deal to let the demon clan cross the river, and when they cross the Tianjiang River, we will fight with them again." ”

Hearing this, Lucius smiled and said, "Hehe, old fellow, you don't have to worry about me, I definitely won't force myself, but if the demon army wants to cross the river, I'm afraid it's really difficult." ”

The master didn't mind Lucius calling himself an old fellow, but scolded with a smile: "You kid, it's still a stinky fart at this time, okay, the old man wants to take a look, what kind of strength can you and the mechanical corps under your command have?"

Not to be outdone, Lucius responded: "Then you just wait, I will bring back the news of my triumph, and of course there is one more thing that needs the master's help, that is, to send back those companions around me, I will take them with me, they may have to go through some baptism of war." ”

The master nodded and said, "This is easy to do, I will let the set take a few disciples and go with you, so that they can also feel the atmosphere of the battlefield in advance, lest they all only talk on paper, not to mention that now that the national teacher has temporarily retreated, there will be no danger for them to travel between the academy and Chang'an City." ”

The Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress glanced at each other, and then saluted the master and Lucius together: "The widow (this palace) represents the people of the Tang Dynasty, and I have thanked the two of you here." ”

The master stepped forward to help the Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress up, and did not let the Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress really bow down, and then continued: "These false gifts are not important, we are not helping the Tang Dynasty, we are just helping the people of the world and fighting for them an era that belongs to them." ”

Lucius also nodded and said, "Yes, we don't need to sing praises, and we don't need anyone to remember us, as long as we can let the beings of the plane get a truly era of their own, that's enough." (To be continued......)
