Chapter 871: Repair the Dragon Vein
Half of the buildings of the Imperial Palace, which collapsed, are in ruins at a glance, with a bit of desolation after the war.
Entering the palace for the second time, Luo Feng once again saw the current Son of Heaven, compared to the last meeting, the ruler of the empire has obviously become much older, although it is not as exaggerated as the white hair overnight, but the wrinkles that clearly appear at the corners of his eyes, as well as the loose muscles, all show the changes that happened to him.
However, compared to the Taishi Li Shengjin next to him, the emperor's change is nothing, although the original Taishi's appearance is not young, but at least it gives people a kind of old and strong, erudite and talented, and the impression of ruling the world, but now he seems to have aged thirty years old overnight, with the posture of an old man, full of dry and wrinkled white hair, no different from those old men who sit on chairs in a daze all day in the neighborhood.
"It seems that what the Demon Emperor said when he fled that day is not a lie, although the bureau set up by the emperor killed five demon kings and severely damaged the Demon Emperor, but his own side also paid a considerable price. ”
Luo Feng thought in his heart, and asked on his lips: "I don't know what happened when His Majesty summoned Poor Dao?"
His words were as rude as ever, but this time the emperor didn't even change his expression, he used a slightly hoarse voice, straight to the point: "I heard that the real person once had an appointment with Mingxi, if one day, Mingxi can sit on the throne of me, she will establish your sect as the state religion, and do her best to promote the doctrine of your sect." ”
These words were quite rebellious, but after Luo Feng heard it, he didn't panic at all, and he was calm and calm.
If this conversation had been a few days ago, maybe he would have been frightened, but now, no matter what the other party says, it is no longer a threat, this has nothing to do with status, it is simply a change in strength, depriving the impact of the status of the king of a country, and the person in front of him can be won in a few moves in Luo Feng's opinion.
For example, if he has a heart to make trouble now, no one can stop it, and he can't stop it, and after understanding this, he won't have fear at all.
"Returning to His Majesty, Poor Dao did reach an agreement with the county lord, but there are a few exaggerations, Poor Dao did not promise to help the county lord ascend the throne, and the county lord did not promise to establish the sect behind the poor road as the state religion, after all, the poor Dao and the county lord are only the first acquaintance, and they have not yet penetrated into this kind of process, and the content of the transaction is only by the poor Dao to help the county lord, and the county lord does his best to promote the transaction of the poor Dao sect within his territory. ”
Luo Feng replied very frankly, there was still disrespect in his words, which made people not only speculate, if he had cooperated with the county lord of Mingxi for many years, would there be a deeper transaction, just as the emperor said, Luo Feng helped the county lord to board the dragon chair, and the county lord set up the sect behind Luo Feng as the state religion.
But the emperor's reaction was the same as before, he didn't stick to these details, but nodded and said, "Just like I thought, after all, the time is too shallow...... If I'm willing to make the same agreement, would you be willing to work with me instead?"
Unexpectedly asked, Luo Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, to say that cooperating with the current Son of Heaven is naturally far more valuable than cooperating with the county lord, but when Luo Feng traded with the county lord of Mingxi, he never considered the emperor as a competitor at all.
The emperor and the county lord are not opponents at the same level, there is no competition between each other, at least not now, and there is no conflict with the two at the same time, the person who is competing with the county lord of Mingxi should be the third prince, so Luo Feng will agree to make a deal with the county lord of Mingxi, but the tone of the emperor at the moment is clearly to see the county lord of Mingxi as an equal competitor, but the meaning of this is intriguing.
Luo Feng cast a puzzled look, but the emperor seemed to misunderstand what he meant, and after coughing a few times, he spoke: "Okay, the same conditions may not be able to impress real people, after all, real people, you have put a lot of effort into Mingxi, and it is unkind to be so unkind." In this way, I promise you that if you can stop the evil calamity, I am willing to establish your sect as the state religion, establish Taoist temples in all counties and counties across the country, and spare no effort to promote your religious teachings. ”
This is another unexpected gift, Luo Feng is even more suspicious in his heart, with the ability he has shown, at most he is comparable to a great master of refining the void, even if he adds Si Jingji, Huang Quan, and Tu Bailing, it is far from being comparable to those profound cultivation factions, what does the other party mean by offering such a price, to launch himself to fight with those cultivation factions? But now that even the demon disaster has not been calmed down, thinking that infighting is too short-sighted, right?
As if seeing the doubts in Luo Feng's heart, the emperor clapped his hands, and a figure stepped out of the inner room, but it was the third prince.
It is said that when the enemies saw each other, they were very red-eyed, and Luo Feng humiliated the other party fiercely that day, but after the third prince appeared, there was no resentment in his eyes when he looked at him, but was full of enthusiasm and had a flattering taste.
"At the beginning, he forged a letterhead to calculate the real person, it was Xiao Wang's fault, fortunately, he did not make a big mistake, and I hope that the real person will forgive me, and the adult will not remember the villain, and Xiao Wang will make amends to the real person. ”
The third prince clasped his fists and bowed with a smile.
Seeing this situation, Luo Feng finally had a guess in his heart, but his response to this was still noncommittal.
The emperor said: "I know that because of the conflict the day before yesterday, the real person must have a little jealousy in his heart, and he is worried that he will be ruthless afterwards, after all, empty words are not enough to win the trust of others, so I can let Hongsheng swear in the name of the ancestors that he will never violate the previous treaty, and shall not pursue the rights and wrongs of the past conflicts, if there is a violation, the ancestors of the past will spit on it!"
The third prince hurriedly swore solemnly according to the previous agreement, and told the whole story.
At this time, Luo Feng can be sure that this emperor is going to help his son pull the bias, and he will personally end the game, and he will pull him, who originally belonged to the county lord of Mingxi, to the side of the third prince.
If I have to say it, Luo Feng doesn't have a deep friendship with the county lord of Mingxi, and there is only the most superficial trust between them, and so far, Luo Feng has paid for the county lord of Mingxi, and has never received any actual return, so even if he turns to others now, he will not have any psychological burden.
Switching to the Three Princes, this mention itself is not impossible, even if the Three Princes are smiling tigers, at this time they want to take revenge in the future, but at least when the son is in power, he will not dare to do so, and wait until the future to calm the demon disaster and establish the Six Dao Sect as the state religion, Luo Feng can pull back a large number of helpers from the sect anytime and anywhere, and he is not afraid of this ruthless face- If the third prince thought about infighting and turned his face before the demon disaster was calmed down, Luo Feng didn't mind patting his ass and leaving, anyway, even if this world was really ruled by the demon clan, what did he have to do with it, at most he would fail the trial.
It's just that Luo Feng didn't want to be confused and follow other people's speeches, so he said: "Can Poor Dao ask the 'reason'?"
He knew that the emperor understood the true meaning of the words.
But the emperor was silent, frowning, hesitating whether to speak.
After being silent for a long time, Taishi Li Shengjin suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, this kind of thing can't be hidden, it's just a matter of time or time." ”
"Alas-" The Emperor let out a long sigh, then lowered his head and said slowly in a bitter tone, "As the Demon Emperor said that day, the Imperial Dragon Vein was greatly injured due to the battle formation, and when the next time the Demon Emperor returns, the Terrans will no longer have the strength to fight...... To repair the dragon vein, a person with royal blood needs to be sacrificed. ”
Is this to sacrifice the granddaughter and save the son?
Did you make such a choice because you were afraid of the half of the demon bloodline on your granddaughter's body?
Luo Feng thought quickly in his heart, opened his mouth and pretended not to know, and asked, "There should be many people with royal blood. ”
"It must be the blood of the relatives, and only those who can urge the treasure can nourish the dragon vein...... At present, only Hongsheng and Mingxi have such qualifications, and although Mingxi has excellent talent, he is young after all, and even Jin Dan has not condensed...... For the sake of the empire, for the continuation of the human race, a choice must be made......"
In the previous conversation, although this son of heaven no longer has a strong posture, he can finally maintain the dignity of being an emperor, but now he is ashamed to see people.
No matter how high-sounding the reason is, it can't change the reality that he intends to sacrifice his granddaughter.
The third prince next to him also showed a sad look, looking extremely real, and there was no hypocrisy at all, as if he wanted to replace him.
The emperor closed his eyes and sighed again, as if he wanted to exhale all the helplessness in his heart, and then he opened his eyes, clenched his fists, and said firmly: "This is the responsibility of the imperial family!"
