Lu Li took a deep breath as if to take courage, and said slowly: "What you said before is actually very reasonable. War should not be started lightly. Once a war starts, it will definitely not be a good thing for the Holy Kingdom. Our family, country, and world, I think everyone has a standard in mind for the principle of ensuring peace for one side. Marshal Lin’s attitude towards the Jitian Demon Kingdom must be that he dares to fight but cannot fight.”
"Not bad." Lin Wangbei nodded, agreeing with Lu Li's statement.
Lu Li looked at him, then at His Majesty the Emperor, and continued: "In the eyes of Old Prime Minister Zhang, no matter whether there is a war or not, as long as it is good and beneficial to the development of the Holy Kingdom, he will give the greatest support . The standard in the old prime minister's heart is actually the interests of this country. Whether it is war or peace, they are just means to obtain interests."
"The process has never been important. Throughout the ages, only the winners are qualified to have the last laugh."
"Certaining land and making peace are not big things to you. A true superior will never care about such small gains and losses. Just as Old Prime Minister Zhang said, since making peace can bring great benefits to the Holy Kingdom, Fifty years of stability, it may not be a bad thing for King Yan to marry the Demon King."
When Lu Li said this, he suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly and said helplessly: "I'm just a dispensable little person. If it weren't for the Zhenguo Jin, or the battle with Shen Fangge, maybe there would be a little bit about me and the princess. A weak friendship. Without these, His Majesty would never have noticed that a small third-grade guard like me is here. Today I can sit here and listen to His Majesty discussing important matters with figures like Marshal Lin, and he can still influence millions, even To be honest, at a certain moment I started to be scared."
He stared into the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor and said with a very disrespectful attitude towards the Emperor of the Holy Kingdom: "I'm afraid that a small person like me will decide the life or death of others with a casual word. Even those who live and die. Compared to the entire Tiantian Holy Kingdom, it is just a pebble that cannot even splash with waves, but if they die innocently because of me, I am afraid that I will not be able to sleep."
When Lin Wangbei heard this, he suddenly wanted to interrupt, but was stopped by the emperor's calm eyes.
He smiled and said: "The fact that you have such thoughts means that you have already started thinking."
"Yeah, I'm thinking." Lu Li smiled bitterly and said, "But so what? Even a strong man like Marshal Lin would worry about being beheaded by the other side's Demon King before starting a war with the Jitian Demon Kingdom. Even your Majesty, you After fighting with the Demon King, he was injured like this... "
"I'm just a small character who can't even practice cultivation for the time being. I would be really scared to participate in such a big event."
"But… "
At this point, Lu Li suddenly changed the subject, "Even if I'm afraid, I still want to ask Your Majesty to answer my question."
He slowly came closer and said word by word: "Have you ever asked King Yan himself for his opinion on this matter?"
"Lu Li, I know that you are a confidant promoted by King Yan. Regarding this matter, King Yan himself has not..." Lin Wangbei wanted to explain, but Lu Li stubbornly said: "Leave aside the Holy Kingdom, it is just Has Your Majesty actually asked King Yan himself for his opinion on who she wants to marry?"
Lin Wangbei was stunned, and then sighed.
At this moment, no matter how tolerant and gentle His Majesty the Emperor was, he was aroused by Lu Li's aggressive tone.
His cloudy eyes suddenly became as deep as the abyss, and he said coldly: "Born into the royal family, everything she has will be sacrificed when the Holy Kingdom needs it, even her life."
"Your Majesty, I don't know much about the truth, but I have heard a saying that when you are in your position, you should plan your affairs. If you are responsible for your duties, you should fulfill your responsibilities."
Lu Li was not afraid of the emperor's threatening tone at all, and said in a deep voice: "The Holy Kingdom is in trouble, and no one in the government dares to die! As the Emperor of the Holy Kingdom and the strongest warrior in the Holy Kingdom, after experiencing failure, , the first thing that comes to mind is to retreat!?”
"And the conclusion you came to is to let King Yan marry far away from the Demon Kingdom to give you people a chance to survive?"
Lu Li laughed sarcastically, "No matter how powerful King Yan is, he is only a woman. You have staked the future of the country on a woman, so what else do you want? What do you want as an emperor? Why don't you call me King Yan? If she becomes the emperor and then marries the Demon Emperor, wouldn’t it be settled in one fell swoop!?”
"presumptuous!"
The emperor roared angrily and released extremely terrifying Qi, like a raging wave. Lu Li was shocked to the point where his internal organs were injured. If it weren't for the green robe on his body that emitted an uncertain light and blocked him from any pressure, just with this He could be more seriously traumatized in one fell swoop.
"Are you angry because of embarrassment?" Lu Li sat firmly, stretched out his hand to wipe away the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "You are angry just because I said something that hurts you, right?"
"Lu Li, that's enough!"
Lin Wangbei held Lu Li's shoulders and poured in a steady stream of powerful Qi, which not only stabilized his injuries, but also prevented him from speaking any more.
"Wangbei, let him go!" The emperor said with a gloomy face: "You want to hear what else he wants to say!"
"His Majesty!"
Lin Wangbei was a little helpless, thinking that the old man and the young man were just fooling around.
At this point, who knows if Lu Li will say something so shocking that he may not even be able to save his life
Moreover, Lin Wangbei is a warrior and a soldier. He is not disgusted with Lu Li's words and even agrees with them.
The courage of a warrior between life and death is equally applicable to a confrontation between two armies.
For Lin Wangbei to use the humiliating method of marriage to escape the disaster before the battle started, it was simply the greatest shame for Lin Wangbei.
What's more, he was also stimulated by Lu Li's words, "No one in the court dares to die."
If he were not still in front of His Majesty, he wished he could lead Lu Li to the border and let him see with his own eyes what it means to "dare to die".
"Gu said, let him go!"
Unfortunately, the emperor, who was already furious, ignored Lin Wangbei's conciliatory attitude.
When Lin Wangbei heard this, he could only let go of Lu Li's hand and patted him covertly, hoping that he would stop as soon as he was satisfied.
However, after being released, Lu Li said nothing.
The emperor sneered: "What, did you use up all your courage with those words just now?"
"Your Majesty, there is no need to provoke me. If you want to continue talking, please answer my questions." Lu Li also frowned, with an expression of dissatisfaction.
"good!"
The emperor slapped the table and said in a hoarse voice: "If you want Gu to give you the answer, then Gu will tell you! She took the initiative to agree to King Yan's marriage to the Kingdom of Jitian Demon. Even if Gu and Old Prime Minister Zhang blocked it in every possible way, She insists on this! Do you think that you are the only smart person and all the civil and military officials in the Holy Kingdom of Tuntian are fools? Once the marriage is successful, the Holy Kingdom of Tuntian will not even dare to raise their heads in the fifty years they get. Fifty years! One of the nine kings of the Holy Kingdom, Gu's biological sister was married off by the Demon Emperor and became his concubine. How can the world make fun of Gu!?"
"They will say that Gu is a fool who is greedy for life and afraid of death, a useless emperor who can sell everything to survive!"
boom!
At the end of the sentence, an indescribable sense of oppression suddenly filled the entire library. The vast sea of books moved without wind, and the pages were turned up with a loud noise.
Lu Li's face turned pale, but he still refused to give in. "Since Your Majesty can see everything clearly, why did you ask me to say this?"
"Because you are the only outsider in the Holy Kingdom of Tiantian." After releasing the pressure, the wrinkles on the emperor's face seemed to be a little deeper, and he said solemnly: "Although your roots are not innocent, you are a member of the Xuanjian Sect. A traitor is the character least likely to be involved with the demonic forces!"
"So, I need you to do something."
"Do something you say no one in the court would dare to do."
The emperor glared at Lu Li sideways, blew his beard and said, "Do you dare to do it?"
When Lu Li saw his expression, he immediately became alert and said with some vigilance, "That depends on what the matter is."
"It's very simple." The emperor put away his serious expression and said with a smile: "I want you to kill those welcoming messengers and take King Yan out of the imperial capital!"
