Chapter 171: All you want is eternal life
Xu Beiyou's sword box is not a mortal thing, but it is left by the ancestor of the Sword Sect, Shangqing Daojun, which is a self-contained Sumeru mustard seed cave, which can hold hundreds of thousands of swords, and naturally can also hold a dragon monument.
Although Xu Beiyou's realm cultivation began to fall at this time, and he had fallen from the seventeenth floor of the Earth Immortal at his peak to the sixteenth floor of the Earth Immortal, it was not difficult to put away this dragon stele, he sent twelve flying swords to pry up this huge dragon stele, and then forcibly "lifted" it into the sword box with the power of the flying sword.
I have to say that this dragon stele is indeed a wonderful thing, no matter how many things Xu Beiyou puts in the sword box on weekdays, or how many things are taken out of the sword box, the weight of the sword box will not change in the slightest, but after putting this dragon stele into it today, Xu Beiyou obviously feels that the sword box is a little heavier, which can make a small world in the cave feel the weight, it can be seen that this dragon stele is indeed as Xiao Zhinan said, extremely heavy.
After putting away the dragon stele, Xu Beiyou and Xiao Zhinan left Jundao, and the team set off again, crossing Dongting Lake by boat and heading to Yu Kuang's rear army camp.
Although the war has spread to this place, fortunately, Xu Beiyou and others did not encounter any accidents along the way, neither encountered the naval army of the Wei State, nor were they stopped by a large number of Taoist masters, and came to Yu Kuang's Shuizhai camp without danger.
Yu Kuang personally greeted the coffin of His Majesty the Emperor into the camp and paid respects, and then invited Xu Beiyou and the other four to enter the Chinese army's tent.
Today's Jiangnan Rear Army has directly started a war with the Wei State, so at this time, there is a little chaos in the camp, there are constantly armor soldiers coming and going in the mud all over the ground, and even the combat boots of Yu Kuang, the main general, are covered with muddy water.
In the big tent, there is no beauty and delicacy in the plain day, and there are more cold and solemn killings that should be in wartime, and the meaning of the sword and halberd arises spontaneously.
After sitting down, Yu Kuang showed a sad look on his face, and said slowly: "In the battle of Jundao that day, I was ordered by the first emperor to take charge of the naval army to respond, just in case of accidents, and now that the first emperor has died, I can't escape the blame." ”
Xu Beiyou glanced at Yu Kuang and didn't hurry to speak.
Among the main generals of the five forbidden armies, Xu Beiyou and the left capital of the right army and the left capital of the Chinese army Zhao Wouji are just a few faces, there is no deep friendship, let alone understanding, and the former army left capital governor Sun Shaotang has never met, just famous, and he can really talk about the word "friendship" is the left capital of the left army Zhang Wuxian and the left capital of the rear army Yu Kuang, but compared to the gentleman's friendship between him and Zhang Wuxi, Xu Beiyou and Yu Kuang because of the same place in the south of the Yangtze River, there are many more unspeakable interests.
Yu Kuang is a person with deep thoughts and deep cities.
Xiao Zhinan is the only person in the royal family, and it is also the person with the highest status present, at this time she spoke: "At the beginning, the matter of Jundao had nothing to do with the Yudu Governor, had nothing to do with the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and had nothing to do with the Daomen. ”
Xiao Zhinan deliberately bit the death of illness and the will of heaven, and completely characterized the matter.
Yu Kuang frowned slightly, but his expression was a little soothing, and he said softly: "What His Highness said is extremely true, it is the minister who lost his words." ”
Xiao Zhinan asked, "How is the battle situation in Jiangnan now?"
Yu Kuang smiled bitterly, "Now Her Royal Highness the Princess, Lord Xie, Mr. Ping'an, and Xiaoge Lao are all here, and the general is not afraid of your jokes, the previous general overestimated his own Jiangnan Naval Division, and also underestimated the Naval Army of the King of Wei, this battle is very difficult to fight, the Wei Naval Army, whether it is a warship or an artillery on the ship, and even the quality of the armor and the combat method of the battle formation, are far better than the naval division of our army. ”
......
The Xiao family is already thin, and then throw away those feudal kings in various places, the royal family in the imperial capital city is more and more handful, this year Zhao Wang Xiao Qi died, plus His Majesty the Emperor and the Queen Mother passed away one after another, Her Royal Highness the princess is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and now there are only two Xiao people in the huge imperial city.
In the empty Ganquan Palace, all the eunuchs and palace maids were held back, and there was silence, and it seemed that the footsteps of the two were particularly clear in it.
An old man and a young man slowly walked on the black ground where the reflection was clearly visible, and it was Xiao Bai, the third emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty, who walked in front of the emperor's throne and stopped, and asked without looking back: "Ancestor, what do you think of the rebellion of Xiao Jin and Lin Han?"
Xiao Shen sneered, "It's stupid." ”
Xiao Bai turned around and asked, "What do you say?"
Xiao Shen said: "In the old man's view, the so-called general trend of the world, not too many words, no matter how prosperous the dynasty, there will be a day of destruction, no matter how miserable the troubled times, there will be a day of end, time is like water, wealth and glory are just a passing cloud, the emperor's throne is just a dream of Nan Ke, only the road of immortality is eternal, but I don't know that the immortals in the sky look at all kinds of disputes in the world, just like watching blueflies compete for blood, termites fight for holes." ”
Xiao Bai skimmed at the emperor's throne from the corner of his eye, silent.
Xiao Shen continued: "Although Your Majesty is now the Emperor of Great Qi, it is impossible to be the co-lord of the world forever, there has never been a century-old emperor in the world, this is the rule of heaven, so Your Majesty has to make plans in advance." ”
Xiao Bai muttered: "What about the hundred-year-old emperor, after all, he will turn into ashes. ”
Xiao Shen said expressionlessly: "The old man once said to His Majesty that the Avenue of Immortality needs to be used by the Son of Heaven for his own use, this is not a day's work, even if His Majesty has become the Emperor of Great Qi, it will also take ten years, if the great changes are coming up today, if Your Majesty can't make up your mind as soon as possible, if there are other changes in the future, you can't be the emperor for ten years, I'm afraid it will be too late to regret it." ”
Xiao Bai's face changed slightly, "Does the ancestor mean that I can't keep this world?"
Xiao Shen said slowly: "Although the old man is not familiar with military affairs, he can also see that Xiao Jin and Lin Han are intent on the south of the Yangtze River, trying to form a north-south pattern of dividing the river and ruling with the Great Qi, at that time, you are still the emperor of the Great Qi, but you are no longer the co-master of the world, and the luck of the Son of Heaven will inevitably be greatly reduced, what should you do?"
} Positive; L version first) { hair f. }
Xiao Bai sighed, "You can't have both fish and bear's paws. ”
Xiao Shen looked up at the emperor's throne behind Xiao Bai, and suddenly smiled: "No matter how good this chair is, after all, it is only for a while, a time and a lifetime, which is more important, you still have to know in your heart." ”
Xiao Bai exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity, as if he had made up some kind of determination, and said: "The emperor has been the emperor for thirty years, and then he is free in the sky, this is my life's wish. ”
Xiao Shen finally had a slight smile on his face, and nodded: "That's right, as long as Your Majesty makes up your mind, you might as well take a step back and say, if Xiao Jin and Lin Han can really occupy Jiangnan, what is Your Majesty afraid of?
"Even if you take a step back, under the trend of the times, Xiao Jin's soldiers are under the imperial capital, and the situation is completely erosive, so what?
Speaking of this, Xiao Shen raised his palm and fell fiercely, "Immortals are free, immortal world, the world is divided, what are you worried about?"
Xiao Bai was silent for a long time, then walked to the throne and sat down slowly, laughing at himself, "Ancestor is right, if Xiao Jin can really force me to this point, it can be regarded as his ability, I am convinced, what if this world is given to him......?"
Xiao Shen hid his hands in his sleeves and was silent.
Xiao Bai leaned forward slightly, and said softly, "Immortal." ”
