King Xia said: "So you think if the two of them join forces, Daxia will no longer be a rival?"
King Xia's words made the courtiers' hearts sink, because they did all have such thoughts, and unknowingly, they all acquiesced that the invincible Daxia might also be defeated.
King Xia's blazing gaze swept over every courtier. After all, no one looked at him, and no one dared to follow these words, including Lei Hong.
"Forget it, quit the court." King Xia waved his hand, his eyes filled with disgust.
So the matter was settled in the court. After King Xia retired from the court, he still sang and danced with Meixi. Even after nine years, his love for Meixi was still the same as before. It seemed that King Xia was high-spirited and like the God of War. , has disappeared in these years of drunkenness, leaving only the willfulness that has not changed.
When the sound of silk and bamboo orchestral music sounded again in the palace, the courtiers who had not gone far suddenly felt a sense of despair. It turned out that no matter how cruel King Xia was in the past, they all believed that King Xia was the pillar of Great Xia, and now this Faith was shaken.
Leihong was the last to leave. When he was about to leave the palace, he heard someone calling him.
It turned out that Guan Longzi arrived outside the palace gate at some unknown time. Nine years later, Guan Longzi had a weathered head and deep wrinkles on his face, but his eyes were full of insight into world affairs.
Lei Hong is not too young among the Xia clan and has experienced a lot, so there are not many people in the world who can fall in love with him, but Guan Longzi is one of them who is unshakable.
He lowered his sonorous voice as low as possible, squeezed out a gentle smile and said, "What do you want from Taishi?"
"Is Mr. Lei also disappointed with the king?" Guan Longzi's eyes were calm, as if he could see through everything.
Lei Hong said: "As a minister, I am loyal to you and don't care about anything else, so I have no other thoughts in my heart."
Guan Longzi said softly: "The king does not say anything, but in fact he has already decided in his heart. He will attack the Yin and Shang Dynasties next. If you don't believe me, you can secretly ask Her Royal Highness the Princess. She should have received the secret order long ago. By then, the Dongyi Army will It will definitely be a pioneer.”
Lei Hong was shocked when he heard this, and turned back to look at the Summer Palace. Suddenly he felt that the Summer Palace was unfathomable, which made him feel terrified. Attacking a big country like Yin and Shang could not be prepared overnight. It was obvious that King Xia had already made arbitrary decisions.
When using troops, one must first look at the general's courage. If there is no courage, no matter how strong the ability is, the soldiers will lose their sharpness. Obviously, his advice today disappointed King Xia.
Lei Hong bowed his head and said, "Thank you Tai Shi Ling for informing me."
Guan Longzi said: "Actually, I once advised Her Royal Highness the Princess not to get involved in the dispute, but she still got involved. After thinking about it, it would be useless for me to give her any advice. Now I can only give her one thing. As my last thought.”
Guan Longzi took out a yellow silk book from his long sleeves, with graphics and text on it. Lei Hong recognized that this was Guan Longzi's handwriting. He didn't recognize every word or stroke on it, but he found it mysterious.
Lei Hong said: "I wonder what this is?"
Guan Longzi smiled and said: "It's a small gadget, but I hope you must give it to Her Royal Highness. This is the last thing I can do for her."
Lei Hong's heart trembled when he heard the word 'last'.
At this moment, a eunuch trotted over and said to Guan Longzi: "The king has an order, and he has been ordered by Taishi to enter the palace."
Guan Longzi respectfully accepted the order, but Lei Hong next to him saw a hint of relief in Guan Longzi's eyes for some reason, as if he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Since then, Lei Hong never saw Guan Longzi again.
… …
The place where Guan Longzi met King Xia was near the execution platform of Pao Lao. Empress Meixi, who looked like a goddess coming to earth, was nestled in King Xia's arms. She heard the beautiful music in her ears. There were sixteen palace maids dancing in the open space. Full of soul-stirring magic.
"You seem to know my thoughts very well." King Xia said.
Guan Longzi knelt on the ground and bowed respectfully, saying: "The king's sage is as bright as the sun. If I can't see it, I can only say that I am blind."
King Xia said calmly: "Get up."
"Yes." Guan Longzi stood up slowly. Although he knelt down and passed over, his body was still spotless and clean.
"You know, communicating with idiots is the most boring thing, but I don't like smart people either, but after so many years, you are the smart person who has stayed with me the longest." King Xia said.
"I know that Wei Chen was actually a little resentful in the past. It is only now that Wei Chen understands his ignorance. In the nine years that the king has been indulgent, magic has become more powerful. Many Xia people who have offended you have been killed by you in these years. Even if he was tortured or executed, he has actually become a demon general under your command. The minister claims to have become a sage, but he has been concealed by the king for many years under his nose. He is really ashamed." Guan Longzi looked at him. Through the dancing girl's moving body, I could see King Xia's face, which looked like a flawless sculpture carved from Kunwu stone.
A pair of eyes, like the lord of all demons, can take away anyone's heart and soul at any time and make them completely surrender.
King Xia was not surprised at all, and said softly: "Yes, when I let Tian Yi go nine years ago, I was preparing for today. It is only now that my magic skills have been fully achieved, but this way is the way to eliminate emotion and nature. If If you don't agree with your heart, it will never be perfect. Today I want to ask you whether you are loyal to me and never have two hearts."
Guan Longzi said: "Of course it is."
"Okay, just because you are a loyal minister, I want to kill you. Only in this way can humanity be eradicated. Whether you blame me or not, it doesn't matter anymore." King Xia's eyes moved, and the sixteen dancers immediately broke up. Rain of blood was annihilated between heaven and earth.
Meixi shivered in King Xia's arms, but did not dare to say a word.
Guan Longzi sighed: "If I had discovered that the king was secretly practicing the Yuanshi Demonic Art, I would definitely not have allowed the king to reach this point today."
"It's too late. In fact, how many times have I wanted you to resent me and leave me, but I didn't expect that you are so loyal to me that I am reluctant to kill you. The more this happens, the more I want to kill you. You made me dehumanize and become the Yuanshi Demon." King Xia's hand gently brushed Mei Xi's delicate face, and there were traces of purple energy seeping out from the depths of her eyes, as if they had two pupils.
Guan Longzi said: "The destruction of love at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty is not as good as the forgetfulness of love by the Supreme Being. Your Majesty, once you enter the devil's path, you are truly doomed."
"I just want to forget, but who can I forget?" King Xia said sternly.
Guan Longzi sighed and said, "I am ashamed of myself, the king."
What he regrets most now is that he did not try his best to save the high priest. Otherwise, King Xia could still follow the path of forgetting love, which would be much better than now. No matter how powerful the Yuanshi Demonic Art is, he cannot transcend the six paths of reincarnation, the birth and death of the five elements, and even more No need to exterminate humanity.
