Chapter 504 Performance
"No, I can hold on for a while longer," Luo Chuan waved his hand to signal Princess Zhaoning not to worry about him, "This information is very important to us, even if I risk my life , but also-"
However, before he finished speaking, he suddenly groaned in pain, covered his head and collapsed on the ground, completely losing the graceful demeanor of a strong saint in the past.
Blood seeped out from the corners of his mouth, soaking the spotless crane cloak.
The light on the bronze mirror flickered for a few times, then quickly extinguished, returning to its original old, dim, and unremarkable appearance.
Seeing this scene, Princess Zhaoning was startled and immediately bent down and reached out to help him.
The Imperial Master of Da Qi next to him was also shocked.
He knew that Zhao Changying, who had been promoted to the realm of true king, was so powerful that he could defeat Luo Chuan in front of the palace with one move, causing his true energy to backfire and make him unconscious.
But he did not expect that Zhao Changying could still hinder Luo Chuan's prying eyes on the level of destiny - you know, in everyone's perception, Luo Chuan is the master of the Da Qi Dynasty's secret deduction. ceiling, and Zhao Changying is a vulgar martial artist who dances with guns and sticks.
“It seems that Luo Chuan is right,” he thought silently, “To completely eliminate these rebels, we can only wait until the emperor comes out of seclusion.
"What we can do now is to hold them back and let their internal conflicts gradually ferment, but we must not use excessive force to cause a fierce counterattack from them.
"A strong true king who is completely willing to fight, Except for the emperor, I am afraid no one can stop it. "
At the same time, he took out an elixir from the space magic weapon to treat injuries and replenish true energy, and stuffed it into Luo Chuan's mouth.
Luo Chuan's face finally calmed down. Recovery.
In the shadow that no one else noticed, an imperceptible smile appeared on his face.
He knew that his "performance" today had successfully bought the emperor a lot of time to accumulate strength.
He once witnessed the emperor being all-powerful and invincible in the upper world.
Therefore, he believed that time would always be on the side of the emperor.
He is extremely looking forward to how the world will react on the day when the emperor truly regains his former strength.
…………
The rebel army headed by Gu Xu, with the help of a saint and a true king, successively captured six cities on the northwest border in one day, which soon caused a strong stir in the entire Daqi Dynasty. sensation.
In peaceful times, for most ordinary people in Daqi, the stories of practitioners are often wonderful, distant, and yearning, and serve as topics for their after-dinner chats, just like the stories of Gu Xu’s previous life People like to discuss entertainment news.
A young monk like Gu Xu, who has both good looks and talent, and has made a lot of big news in less than a year of practice, is undoubtedly the target of their hot discussion.
Since Gu Xu solved the case of the Lu family’s haunted house, prevented the promotion ceremony of Kongxuan Sanren, and became a blockbuster in the Lantern Festival Tournament, he has gained many more “fans” across the country——
Most of these people are middle school teenagers who yearn for the extraordinary and dream of being heroes. They substituted fantasy into Gu Xu's life experience, and even imitated him in dressing up to escape the boring reality.
After Gu Xu became a wanted criminal for treason, the group quickly split into two factions.
One group was furious because of the collapse of their idol, and resentful that they were deceived by Gu Xu’s disguised perfect appearance; they gathered together to criticize and curse him in the name of country and justice.
The other group firmly believes that how could a hero who once saved thousands of people from danger suddenly collude with ghosts and commit treason for his own selfish gain?
There must be some grievance in this.
So the two groups argued day and night, but no one could convince the other.
But no matter which faction you belong to, in the final analysis, they all want to have fun in boring reality. Just like the news on the entertainment page is thrilling, it will not make the slightest waves in the lives of ordinary people.
Until recently.
Gu Xu has really become a genuine and unquestionable rebel.
Under the banner of the Black Silver Dragon, tens of thousands of paper-figure armies broke through the centuries-old impregnable border defenses of the Qi Dynasty, and also tore apart the peaceful life of the Qi people.
Gu Xu's supporters and critics were all silent at this moment.
Because, when a rising star in the entertainment industry suddenly appears in current affairs news with a sensational attitude and becomes a big figure affecting the world, then he is no longer an object for people to evaluate and criticize at will.
Every decision and every move he makes may cause uproar in the daily lives of ordinary people.
But the more shocking thing is yet to come -
A few days after Gu Xu captured the six border cities, a mission from the Holy Mountain of the Prairie came under the control of the former Khan Under the leadership of Altan, they came to Liangzhou City, presented their crowns and robes to Gu Xu, and declared their surrender.
They called Gu Xu "the one destined by destiny" and "the god on earth", believing that he would unify the world and bring glory and glory to the grassland people.
This news shocked the Qi government and the public.
For hundreds of years, the barbarians in the northwest grasslands have been a hard nut to crack for the Da Qi Dynasty.
Da Qi has a strong foundation and always has the upper hand in confrontations, but these barbarians are like weeds in the wilderness, which are endlessly burned by wildfire and regenerated by the spring breeze.
Holy mountain, shaman, wolf god, bone scepter... are the fire that keeps the grassland people alive.
In this era when the Daqi emperors were influenced by the "Tai'a Sword" and tended to be conservative and seek stability, and only wanted to be "jailers" rather than pioneering and enterprising, the grassland barbarians continued to multiply and grow, becoming a problem that has long plagued Daqi's northwest border. Big trouble for the military and civilians.
The Da Qi court also thought of using peaceful means to recruit and surrender this group of barbarians.
But the belief in the "Wolf God" gave the grassland people an unimaginable bloody nature - no matter how good the conditions or how big the threat the Daqi Dynasty offered, they were unwilling to surrender.
However, recently, this problem that Da Qi Dynasty could not deal with was solved by Gu Xu effortlessly.
The grassland people never recognized the orthodox status of the Daqi Emperor in the wilderness, but they were willing to accept Gu Xu, a rebellious minister and traitor, as their monarch.
Such differential treatment made Da Qi courtiers deeply angry.
They have always looked down on the prairie people, calling them "vulgar barbarians".
But when they discovered that this group of prairie people also looked down on them, they couldn’t hold their breath...
…………
At this moment, in In the prefect's yamen in Liangzhou City, Gu Xu stood in front of a huge map and thought deeply.
His eyes were calm and focused, like the vast night sky encompassing the vast wilderness.
A bloated monk walked up to him and said in a formal and respectful manner: "Master Gu... No, Emperor, you told us that these grassland people have actually taken refuge with you a long time ago. .
"You obviously have such a powerful force, but why do you spend so much effort drawing so many paper figures to capture the city? ”
