Chapter 270 Who doesn’t want to?
Ignoring the bulging veins on the old emperor's forehead, he picked up the jade seal and stamped the edict on his crime in front of the old emperor.
"If you don't regain the twelve states, the deal will not be completed. You can't let me die!"
The old emperor struggled and wanted to get the Taizu sword in Wen Zhi's hand.
Wen Zhi lowered his eyes, raised a nasty smile, and answered seriously,
"The original deal was indeed to regain the lost territory of Da Qi, but you yourself ceded the twelve states to foreigners and stamped your seal as the emperor of Da Qi."
"How can it still be included in the 'Da Qi territory' agreed in the deal?"
It was a word game. The old emperor thought he had it figured out, but Wen Zhi was engaged in trading. He was honest if he did not deceive others regarding the content of the transaction. How could he be manipulated here?
"It's you, you...misled me!" The old emperor's eyes widened with horror on his face.
"I didn't say anything. You think your plan is perfect."
Wen Zhi said indifferently, "At this time, there is no need to shirk the responsibility. You only had one chance back then, and that was at Youyun Pass."
"If you take action, that elite team must be abandoned together. From now on, even if you don't want to give the twelve states with iron ore and gold mines to foreigners, no one will be able to go to the battlefield to fight with foreigners."
"You made your own choice, exchanging the fate of Da Qi for your own life."
However, the old emperor was confident that coupled with the layout of the imperial mausoleum, he could control Wen Zhi forever.
This will not solve the problem of national destiny.
The smile on Wen Zhi's face became even wider, and a cold light seemed to flash across his eyes.
"Originally I just took your life, but now with this deal, part of the fortune you have lost in Da Qi's national fortune will also become my reward."
He relied on trading to improve his abilities.
"I'll give you one day to make arrangements for the funeral." Wen Zhi returned to his usual casual attitude.
At this time, the people below also heard this sentence clearly. Except for Shen You, everyone else only heard vague voices regarding the previous transaction-related content.
Wen Zhi picked up the sealed edict and was about to walk down the steps.
When I caught a glimpse of the old emperor's withered eyes and heard him say that he could only live for two days, he was twitching like he was having a stroke and trying to struggle.
He added, "Oh, don't worry, your mausoleum will not have any decorations for immortality, and the statue made of your own face in the Imperial Ancestral Temple will also be stopped and demolished."
Hearing this, the old emperor became even more excited. He pointed at him and said nothing for a long time. He looked like he could not survive for a day and was about to be angry to death.
"That's not what I meant. Your son and the ministers all feel that it is too much of a waste of money and people. Isn't it better to use the money to build water conservancy projects than to waste it on you?"
"The imperial concubine will also be sent to King Cheng's fief for burial."
Killing people and killing people's hearts, that's what I'm talking about.
If it were anyone else, knowing that they only had one day to live, they might let go of their obsessions and spend this time with their families.
But he is an emperor who puts immortality and power first, so he will not have a good day.
Wen Zhi walked down the steps and threw the guilty edict to Liu Yunyan. This was the explanation that the Daqi general wanted.
Then, he stretched out his hand to Shen You, with a gentle smile like the warm sun shining through the clouds, "Let's go."
As soon as Shen You held his hand, turned around and walked out, Li Heng's voice sounded behind her.
"Miss Shen, water conservancy drawings."
"I need some time, you can rest assured that I will not default on my business."
After Shen You finished speaking, she left without looking back.
The next thing is to summon all civil and military officials to read out the edict of sin against oneself.
It has nothing to do with them anymore. Wen Zhi's deal has been completed, and it is Daqi's subjects who need to be punished. From the south gate of the palace, you can see the grandest main road and the most prosperous market in the capital.
It is said that during major festivals in the past, the emperor would stand here and enjoy himself with the people.
A proper perspective of the emperor, this feeling of standing in a high position, overlooking the prosperous world, and holding great power.
Shen You feels that this should be accompanied by a song: Who knows the song is right, the broken string is waiting for you to tie
Don't say it, really don't say it.
No wonder the word "right" has fascinated people since ancient times.
She thought of the dragon and phoenix carvings she saw when she walked through the steps of the palace hall just now. They were so beautiful.
There is also the bronze sword in Wen Zhi's hand. This is not a contemporary Daqi sword, but an ancient sword passed down.
The craftsmanship has been lost, and the most important thing is that it is still golden!
The original color of the bronze sword was so rare. Only the Yue King Goujian's sword has ever been seen in this world that can compare with this one.
"Bring it back to the shop and keep it for me?!" Shen You couldn't restrain the smile on her face.
"Yeah." Wen Zhi smiled and nodded.
Shen You hadn't been happy for long when she thought of something,
"Wait a minute, you are no longer bound by Daqi's deal, and you won't dissipate because you can't complete the deal,
But you won’t grow old, in a few more decades”
At that time, can they still be together? Wen Zhi couldn't be allowed to guard her ashes in the shop.
"Let's agree on a time for our deal." Shen You said with a smile.
According to the current deal, if she dies, Wen Zhi will also die. Shen You doesn't want this.
"No, I don't agree!" Wen Zhi turned his face sideways, his eyes darkened a little, and said aggrievedly, "What I said was forever. How can such a good thing be changed at will?"
"Please wake up, mountain god of the ancient country of Youdi." Shen You smiled softly and said calmly, "Our life spans are different."
Wen Zhi finally returned to the world, so it was good that they could meet.
"So that's what you're worried about."
Wen Zhi suddenly realized and felt relieved, "The first rule of the store is to continue to upgrade when people are in the store, and to break away from the system of the real world. Naturally, it is not in the ordinary human dimension, and"
He paused and smiled extremely eye-catchingly, "You didn't read our contract carefully. We share life and death. As long as I live, you will not die."
He had studied the rules of the store system and felt that Shen You would either give up the store or break away from the rule system of the world and travel through various planes, which had no concept of time.
But he was afraid that it would not be safe, so he added a layer of insurance to the contract content.
Since she made a deal with him, he had no intention of untying her, so he played a little word game.
When Shen You heard what he said, she reacted quickly, looked at him blankly, and said two words, "You 6."
As long as she wants to live, it is absolutely impossible to terminate the contract.
As expected, there was a word game in his transaction. When they first met, her defensiveness was not unreasonable.
Fortunately, she was still worried about what Wen Zhi would do after her death in a few decades.
"Do you want to be emperor?" Wen Zhi suddenly asked with a smile, "We have a lot of time. The old emperor has already issued the imperial edict, and the military power is in my hands."
If he wants to change the dynasty, all he needs to do is say something.
"Emperor, you mean to get up at four or five in the morning to go to court? And then there are a lot of memorials. I can't stand this day."
Shen You thought for a while and then said, "If you were to be a fool, you would not work every day, watch people dancing, and collect beautiful men."
Who wouldn't want to?
Wen Zhi saw the smile on her face when she talked about Hunjun's life and fell silent, "No, you don't want to!"
