Monarch of Evernight: Thirty-Four Showdown (Part 2)

bsp;Zhang Boqian also understood the confusion he had always had, as to why Lin Xitang's methods had become more radical in recent years, as if time was running out, and why even with the New Deal, the imperial party itself often divided and attacked him. Lin Xitang's political opponents are not only the civil service system in which he occupies the first and second position, but also the nobles and nobles who are wrestling with the tradition of imperial power. There are also those outdated forces who have recovered and want to return to the center of power.

A surname that was as ubiquitous as a shadow came to mind, and Zhang Boqian said slowly: "Respect the Li family of Tang Dynasty?"

Emperor Hao seemed not surprised that Zhang Boqian would talk about the Li family, and said directly: "No one of the old ones can be left. They are obsessed with orthodoxy, willing to be used by the King of Immortality, and will use any means to the point of going crazy."

"Are those young people your people?" Zhang Boqian heard something beyond the words.

"The Tianji sect has always had weak kinship and little friendship. The Li family runs the family as a sect. In the face of destiny, children who are as close as parents can be abandoned, which is simply a disaster. Some of them want to go back. For a normal family, I naturally have no reason to disapprove."

Zhang Boqian's tone suddenly became quite sarcastic, "Lin Xitang seems to be very unclear about the Li family's affairs. It's a good trick for His Majesty to manage so many businesses away from him."

"Marquis Lin has always adhered to the principle of being a minister and consciously avoided the royal internal affairs. Since I said that I did not want him to interfere in the matter of the reserve, Marquis Lin listened."

Zhang Boqian remembered that a few years ago there was a commotion in the Weiyang Palace over the establishment of a crown prince. At that time, Lin Xitang escaped from the imperial capital and went to the Western Continent to fight against the rebels. He couldn't help but be surprised, "Your Majesty has a lot of troubles in his chest, so I wish you the best of luck as soon as possible." Just finish the housework."

"If I can make it to the end, can Prince Zhang come to Xiaozang Palace to bear witness for me?"

"Okay." Zhang Boqian answered quickly and neatly, without even considering the position of the king with a different surname.

Emperor Hao was also a little surprised, and then he said sternly: "Marquis Lin cannot use the Heavenly Secret Technique in the Tianji Pavilion. Similarly, the prophecy and Heavenly Secret Techniques cannot be used on him. He has been allowed to stay here in the past few days. ."

"Lin Xitang..." Zhang Boqian did not continue, and only said: "I will stay here. Call me when the time comes." Before he finished speaking, his figure had disappeared above the clouds.

When Zhang Boqian appeared in Tianji Pavilion again, the first thing Lin Xitang asked was: "Are His Majesty the Emperor and the King of Immortality face to face?"

Even without the Heavenly Secret Skill, Lin Xitang was still unparalleled in intelligence and scheming. Just by the appearance of Zhang Boqian and Emperor Hao today, he directly saw the nature of the situation.

At this moment, Zhang Boqian suddenly thought that Lin Xitang's military strategies had always been watertight, and he had a long-term plan. If he tried to make mistakes during the operation, there would be no chance of a comeback.

It's just that the war on Floating Land has been going on for many days, and it may be coming to an end, leaving no room for slow mediation. However, if Lin Xitang were allowed to step out of the Tianji Pavilion in his current state, the turbulence of the new world of light and the return of the Holy Mountain of Darkness might directly kill him.

Zhang Boqian's hands behind his back tightened subconsciously.

His own style of leading troops is extremely fierce. After a battle, his military achievements are mostly excellent, but the proportion of battle losses is often criticized. Sacrifice has never been a reason for him to be afraid of fighting. But at this moment, he felt that the thin force array in his hand had a heavy weight.

Seeing that Zhang Boqian was silent, Lin Xitang did not ask further questions, and asked: "Your Highness, have you ever seen Prince Habs, Crown of Fire?"

"What's there to say about him and I meeting on the battlefield? The strange thing must be how he got into Tianji Pavilion, right?"

"A high-dimensional projection."

"The crowned Prince of Darkness has such power?"

"He is the only blood prince to be crowned in thousands of years. The empire has almost no information about this." Lin Xitang said: "This man is extremely dangerous."

Such a comment came from Lin Xitang, which made Zhang Boqian look stern.

"Habbs is the biological son of the 'Fire Witch' Annida. However, the paternity is still unknown. However, he had reached the rank of duke when he returned to the clan, and the ancient blood pool recognized his pure-blood status. No one can doubt it. It only took eight years for Habbs to return to the clan and seize the clan leader. At the same time, he became the youngest grand duke of Yongye and was recognized as the number one genius in the dark world in the past century. But only three years have passed since then. In ten years, he rose from Grand Duke to Crowned Prince. Not to mention the dark race, most of us, the human race, do not have such an upgrade speed."

Zhang Boqian said thoughtfully: "Before the Iron Curtain and when the Iron Curtain lasted, you made two plans against the parliamentary giants. Is he actually the one you want to kill?"

"Yes, you see, there are so many things that are abnormal, but it seems that everyone has turned a blind eye. Habbs's experience of more than two hundred years before returning to the clan was completely blank, and the attention he has received all the time , completely inconsistent with his reputation as a genius. His existence is enough to break the balance in many aspects, but for a long time there has been no disturbance within the Eternal Night Council and the Blood Clan. Especially Metanzo, the Wuguang King has been known to be narrow-minded in recent years. There were no rumors of any friction between the two."

Zhang Boqian looked at Lin Xitang and suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, "Lin Xitang, I am just a common man and don't understand the general trend of the world. You don't have to beat around the bush to teach me that the overall situation outside is dangerous. Of course I know that Habs is leading me. He has his own plans for coming to the Imperial Capital, but...that's all. I'll go find Gu Tuohai to check on you before talking about anything else. Otherwise, what can you do now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the elevator in the center of the hall made a starting sound, and a fat old man walked out of the door with a depressed look on his face.

Zhang Boqian said with a chuckle: "It seems that the person who knows you best is His Majesty the Emperor."

When Gu Tuohai appeared here and now, there was no other possibility except being summoned by Emperor Hao.

After hearing this nonsense, Gu Tuohai didn’t know the reason, but he still agreed with it, and said angrily: "I have made so many secret treasures for my life, I deserve to be trapped here, you help the children of the powerful family to improve Ability, they don’t necessarily appreciate it.”

He came over and put his hand on Lin Xitang's wrist. After a moment, his face relaxed and he smiled, and said: "The situation is very good. In two or three days, all the poison accumulated over the years will be removed. You are here It’s worth spending a month here.”

It could be seen that Gu Tuohai was in a good mood and babbled: "I have to say that His Majesty the Emperor did a good job this time. This is how I should deal with you! Although I was so frightened that my heartbeat was irregular for a long time. But which one The quack doctor gave you Dawhirlpool Ginkgo, which is really a waste."

Lin Xitang pondered: "Two or three days? The medicine before..."

"What do you want to do?" Gu Tuohai looked at him alertly and said, "You can't move now because the power of the medicine is dissipating all over your body. It will be enough to lie down for two or three days at most. But if you do it before If you take that medicine before the poison is gone, you might as well just take the poison."

Lin Xitang smiled, "No, now I don't have to go against the will of heaven all the time, I can still protect myself."

Gu Tuohai was stunned for a moment and became furious: "Now that you don't have to fight backlash, you are going to add poison to fight against it, right? The little emperor is guarding me like a thief. He refused to let me know any information before. What do you think? Can he let me bring something in? ”

He glanced at Zhang Boqian, and in his anger, regardless of how terrifying King Qingyang's pressure was, he blurted out: "I don't have the ability, you go to King Qingyang!"

Zhang Boqian turned his head when he heard the words. Gu Tuohai felt a cold air blowing down his back from the top of his head, as sharp as a knife blade. He only heard Zhang Boqian's calm but uncompromising words: "Get out."

At the same time, Zhang Boqian's hand behind his back suddenly grasped to the end, and the force array that had been clasped in his palm was completely annihilated, leaving not even a particle of dust behind.

Gu Tuohai was furious and walked out.

Zhang Boqian looked at Lin Xitang for a while, "Do you want me to do this for you?"

His expression was extremely calm, and his usually sharp eyebrows looked particularly deep at the moment.

Lin Xitang hesitated for a moment and sighed: "Bo Qian..."

Zhang Boqian interrupted him, his expression neither happy nor sad, "I have always felt that it is your own business that you like to seek death. Now, do you want me to send you to death with my own hands?"

Lin Xitang was speechless.

Zhang Boqian shook his head, "Lin Xitang, I know your ability to sophistry, so there is no need to say anything more. You just answer me, yes or no."

Despite what he said, Zhang Boqian didn't wait for the answer. He pushed open the half-open French window and jumped out.

Gu Tuohai did not leave, standing in the small square in front of Tianji Pavilion.

He noticed Zhang Boqian approaching and said in a bachelor's manner: "I told you that forbidden techniques may be possible before, but I lied to you. How can anyone really know Xitang's physical condition? Some people will cause trouble for nothing. Come on, it's the same this time. Xitang has suffered a lot for the Maelstrom Secret Treasure. After just a short time, they are going to decide whether he will lead the troops to fight or fight a full-mobility battle. It is clear that they can't kill him. Life and death consume him."

Zhang Boqian did not get angry, but said in a low voice: "One year, sixty years, is this the life of an ordinary person, right?"

"What the hell!" Gu Tuohai suddenly swore, "He has to be disease-free and painless to live for a lifetime. With the way he plays, I wonder every day how he can still breathe."

"Crown of Fire once said that Lin Xitang used the power of dark original fire to offset part of the backlash of the heavenly secret. How was this done?"

"Even he himself doesn't know. It is a dark dawn balance with unknown principles, but its composition cannot be reproduced in any way. The only possibility is that when Xitang was injured, he was in a small world, forming the bottom layer of balance. The rules are different.”

Then Gu Tuohai said simply and neatly: "Don't think about it. The limit is beyond human power. If there is a way, the Immortal King would have succeeded long ago. Even if the Crown of Fire is promoted to a king, the source blood can help Xitang. It can offset all external damage, but it can't extend his limit for a minute or a second. The same goes for your Dawn Origin!"

Zhang Boqian smiled sarcastically, "Lin Xitang once said to me: How can I dare to die now that I have become the King of Heaven? But as a person who is destined not to become the King of Heaven, why should he control whether I dare to die or not?"

Gu Tuohai sighed heavily. After venting his anger, his mood became much more stable. In turn, he persuaded: "You can listen to what Lao Lin said? I will make you angry." After a pause, he said angrily: "Such a person who cares about all living beings. Guys, why do you like to cheat your own people? It would have been great for me to stay in Yongye Continent for retirement!"

Zhang Boqian raised his head and looked at the grand scenery of the imperial capital in the distance, with a quiet look between his brows.

The streets are busy with cars and tourists, some are happy, some are worried, some are in a hurry, and some are at ease. However, the prosperity of this sect is as fragile as thin ice on a raging flame. As long as one fire breaks out, the whole situation will collapse in an instant.

So what if he becomes the King of Heaven, do he dare not die like the Immortal King, or do he only have righteousness left in him like the ultimate Dingxuan? The meaning of life, apart from resentment and suffering, what else is there?

PS: Ask for leave tomorrow.
