After hearing Lan's words, Emperor Xingluo's tense heartstrings finally relaxed.
A relieved smile appeared on his face, as if the burden that had been pressed on his heart for many years disappeared at this moment.
He suddenly laughed to the sky, and his laughter echoed between this quiet world with a little self-mockery and emotion.
"Wells...had really done a good thing..."
The Emperor Xingluo murmured in a low voice, a complex look flashing in his eyes.
His thoughts seemed to return to the days when the loyal and wise minister was still by his side many years ago.
Wils' advice, his loyalty, and his talent came to Emperor Xingluo's mind one by one. "What a pity... I shouldn't have removed him from his post and allowed him to serve the empire for more than ten years. If he were by my side, maybe... it wouldn't have caused the disaster today..."
The voice of Emperor Xingluo gradually became low, with deep regret and helplessness.
His eyes became blurred, as if he was recalling those years that had passed.
"I don't know what the Wells family is doing now... I suddenly want to drink a drink with him... Just like when I was back then, I had a long talk all night and drank until dawn..."
As he said, Emperor Xingluo slowly closed his eyes, and the smile on his face remained the same, but he never opened it again.
His aura gradually dissipated, as if it was integrated with this world.
A generation of emperors died here.
The wind gently brushed by, taking away his last breath.
It seems that between heaven and earth, it is as if it has fallen into eternal silence at this moment.
The figure of Emperor Xingluo still stands there, but no longer the majesty and domineeringness of the past, only a faint loneliness and desolation left.
In the distance,
The waves were still rolling, as if they were moaning for the fall of the emperor.
The wind gradually subsides, and the world returns to peace.
Lan quietly stared at the dead Emperor Xingluo, without any emotional fluctuations in his eyes.
To him, Emperor Xingluo was just a superior, an emperor who had given orders. They have never had the so-called relationship between the king and the minister, nor have they had deep bonds.
The life and death of Emperor Xingluo, to him, was just a speck of dust in the world, insignificant.
However, Emperor Xueye, who was standing aside, looked confused and even a little at a loss.
He widened his eyes and stared at the body of Emperor Xingluo, with complex emotions surging in his heart.
He never thought that Emperor Xingluo would come like this?
Just just now, he made a generous speech in the palace, saying that "history is written by the victors", and advised him to give up the people and survive. As a result, in a blink of an eye, Emperor Xingluo himself chose to sacrifice and fulfill a grand image.
So this old guy is waiting for him here!
"This...what is this?"
The Emperor of Snowy Night murmured to himself.
He suddenly realized that he seemed to have been disguised by Emperor Xingluo.
Emperor Xingluo brainwashed him with words, making him choose to survive, but he resolutely died and became a hero in the hearts of the people.
This contrast made Emperor Xueye feel extremely embarrassed.
He recalled the conversation he had just had in the palace, and Emperor Xingluo's righteous expression seemed to be still in front of him.
But now, Emperor Xingluo is dead, leaving behind a tall image, while he himself has become an emperor who is afraid of life and death and gives up on the people.
This sharp contrast made him feel ashamed.
As a matter of fact, the surrounding ministers of Tiandou had already begun to whisper.
Although their voices were pressed very low, they were clearly transmitted into the ears of Emperor Xueye.
"Look at the other person, Emperor Xingluo, I would rather sacrifice myself for the sake of the people, and look at us..." A minister shook his head, his tone full of disappointment and disdain.
"Hey, you can't say such things. Are you afraid of your life?"
Another minister quickly reminded, but there was a hint of helplessness in his tone. "Haha, funny. No one can survive after hitting this blow. Anyway, I will die. Will I be afraid of him?" The minister sneered before, obviously he had already thrown his jar and didn't care at all.
"If he wants to be more handsome at the Snowy Night Emperor, he will learn from the Star Luo Emperor..."
Another minister whispered, his tone full of sarcasm.
These comments were like sharp blades, piercing the heart of Emperor Xueye.
His face turned blue and white, and his fists were clenched tightly, but he let go weakly.
He knew that he had completely lost the hearts of the people.
In the eyes of the people and ministers, he was just a coward who was greedy for life and feared death, while Emperor Xingluo became a great emperor and a hero who was willing to sacrifice for the people.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
The Emperor of Snowy Night was filled with struggle and regret.
Suddenly, Emperor Xueye seemed to have thought of something, and a light flashed in his eyes.
He recalled the conversation between Emperor Xingluo and Lan just now. The emotional card played by Emperor Xingluo obviously played a role. Lan did not take action immediately, but gave Emperor Xingluo a decent ending.
This shows that Lan is not a cruel and ruthless person, but a reasonable person.
Since this is the case, he might not be able to imitate Emperor Xingluo and exchange his sacrifice for the lives of the people!
Thinking of this, a sense of determination surged in the heart of Emperor Xueye.
He knew that no matter what the outcome was, he, the emperor, had no way to escape and would undoubtedly die.
Since you are all dead, it is better to die like Emperor Xingluo and show your character and integrity!
At least,
He can also leave a good reputation for sacrificing for the people in history, rather than a coward who is greedy for life and fears death.
I saw that Emperor Xueye stepped out, with a tall figure, looking at Lan firmly, and said with a serious expression: "Lan, I am willing to exchange my life for the lives of the people in Tiandou City! The people are innocent, come to me any moves!"
His voice was loud and firm, as if it was an unquestionable majesty.
However, Lan just glanced at him lightly, with a hint of weirdness in his eyes, as if he was looking at a fool.
At this moment, a minister beside Emperor Xueye couldn't help but whisper, "Your Majesty... Have you forgotten?"
"Before, you gave up those people to survive... Oh no, for the sake of the overall situation."
"Ninety-nine percent of the people in the city have died under Dugu Bo's snake venom. Now there are probably not as many people in Tiandou City as there are not as many soldiers."
This sentence was like a basin of cold water, which instantly extinguished the ambition that Emperor Xueye had just ignited.
His face turned pale in an instant, and his body trembled slightly, as if he was hit by lightning.
Only then did he remember that he had already given up on the people under Dugu Bo's snake venom, and there were almost no living civilians in the city.
Lan's patience seemed to have reached its limit.
"It's time to end."
"Sea, fall!"
In an instant,
The vast ocean is like a dark curtain covering the sky, pouring down!
