Accompanied by the gurgling atmosphere that the sky and the earth were constantly trembling, appeared in front of everyone present was a nine-foot tall and tall white-bearded old man with an unusually burly figure.
The eyes are like copper bells, the hair is white and snowy, and the wrinkles are like a knife and an axe. They are sonorous and powerful. From time to time, a purple thunder light flashes through their eyes. They are extremely sharp and seem to be straight into the hearts of people, even for peerless masters like the King of Nine Swords. Now, I couldn't help but tremble, as if there was a sword blade against their necks, cold sweat involuntarily seeped out.
bump!
With a loud bang, a long sword with purple thunder light suddenly stood on the ground, making a clanging sound. The cold light on the sword was full of murderous air, like a sickle of death, capable of harvesting anything in the world. One life!
Zhongzhou Shenbing, Heaven Splitting Sword!
The eyelids trembled slightly, everyone looked at the sword cautiously, and then bowed down to the old man, and said with a look of admiration: "Subordinates, see the ancestors, and welcome the ancestors to leave!"
"Well, the old man already knows what happened here just now in Lei Yin Pavilion, and he doesn't want to say anything anymore, but he doesn't want something like this to happen again, do you understand?"
Nodding lightly, Baili Yutian's face was indifferent, and there were no ripples in his eyes, as if everything didn't linger in his arms, he didn't care about anything, just talk about it casually.
However, just this understatement is full of destiny that cannot be violated, as if the destiny is descended, and everyone cannot resist and must obey it. Otherwise, it is going against the sky, fighting against the sky, and there is no place to be buried.
The King of Nine Swords did not dare to be scornful, and they bowed their heads, especially the Baili Yu Lei, lowered his head deeply, dripping sweat on his head, and his heart trembled.
When Shangguan Feiyun saw this, he couldn't help laughing secretly, revealing a trace of disdain. Liu Mubai, the king of piano and sword, flashed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth flashed with a radian, as if he had succeeded in something. .
However, waiting for his fleeting smirk to fade away, Baili Yutian’s icy voice sounded again: "What the old man said today is not just to his family. The other four sword kings, the old man said Treat each other with courtesy, and please do it yourself, don’t do anything out of the ordinary to spoil the relationship between the two sides, especially..."
As he said, Baili Yutian didn't make a sound, but the aftermath from the corner of his eyes glanced to the side as if there was a flash of lightning, and suddenly, before everyone noticed it, it shot at Liu. There Mu Bai.
The body couldn't help but shook, Liu Mubai was horrified, and then in a cold sweat, he bowed with the other three sword kings, respectfully, and said, "Be careful of the ancestor's patriarchal decree, and the subordinates understand!"
"Well, everyone understands it!"
He narrowed his eyes slightly, Baili Yutian's complexion was still plain, noncommittal, and then turned to Baili Jingwei and Baili Jingshi two people said: "Emperor, Prime Minister, you are late, what is going on?"
After a deep bow, Baili Jingshi faintly said: "Enlighten the ancestors, a few days ago, the Prime Minister copied the clubhouse of the Haichuan Commercial Bank and arrested a group of unscrupulous elements. Today they are tortured to the extreme in order to emulate others. , So the Prime Minister and I went to the prince and nobles to supervise the execution. We were a little bit negligent. Please forgive me from our ancestors!"
What, celestial punishment
Eyelids couldn't help but shake, Liu Mubai heard these four words, his body moved slightly, his heart sank unconsciously, his fists clenched uncontrollably, but he gritted his teeth and endured it again without any movement!
"The celestial punishment?"
With a raised eyebrow, Baili Yutian also seemed to be a little puzzled: "Haichuan Commercial Bank has been established in the empire for thousands of years, and it has made indelible deeds for the prosperity of the empire. It was Haichuan Commercial Bank that opened this gap in order to relieve the empire’s urgent need to block it. What did they commit, without telling them about ransacking their families, but also using extreme punishment to deter the world?"
Hurry up and take a step forward, Baili Jingwei bowed and bowed: "Tell my ancestors, this matter is done by me..."
Having said that, Baili Jingwei fully explained the matter of the magical stone.
After hearing all the causes and consequences, Baili Yutian thought about it a little, and couldn’t help but laughed out: “It’s only the death of dozens of nobles. It’s all because of the greed of the people. It has nothing to do with the operation of Haichuan Commercial Bank. It’s a bit heavier. But Jingwei, you always have your reasons for doing things, and now you do it like this, there must be other reasons!"
"The ancestor Mingjian, that's it!"
The corner of his mouth suddenly curled up in a confident arc, Baili Jingwei bowed, his eyes pierced, and excitedly said: "Enlighten our ancestors, Jingwei feels that the time for our Sword Star Empire to unify the five states has come, and we can start fighting in all directions. At that time, the Haichuan Chamber of Commerce will connect the five states, and it will no longer open up commercial channels for our empire, but will worm our empire so that the enemy can take advantage. What's more, it's such a big hole. So the subordinates wanted to take this opportunity to shovel the firm thoroughly, to truly enclose the empire into a bucket, and to step on the mountains and rivers together to complete the great cause of unification!"
Hearing this, everyone frowned and was shocked.
They never expected that Baili Jingwei was so eager to send troops to the four states so soon. After all, the Nine Sword Kings had just gathered, and they were used to being leisurely on weekdays. Suddenly they were about to go to war against the four states, but they were a little caught off guard!
The most important thing is that he can rest assured that this sudden decision will take effect
Looking at him deeply, Baili Yutian still had no fluctuations in his eyes, but only faintly said, "Are you sure?"
"Of course, before we sent troops to the four states, it was difficult to achieve significant results. It was because of insufficient troops and insufficient strength. One state was killed and the three states were rescued. This often made us head and tail difficult, and we had to go back and protect ourselves!"
The corner of the mouth was slightly raised, and the eyes of Baili Jingwei burst into a strange look: "But this time is different. The Nine Sword Kings are ready, the ancestors are out, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong. The opportunity to join hands. So I think this will be a great opportunity for our Sword Star Empire, which will be difficult to meet for thousands of years. If it is missed, after a long time, the four states have a way to deal with our Sword King system. There will be branches. In short, there are so many dreams in the night!"
What a hundred miles of longitude and latitude, the shot is really fast and accurate, without any muddling, the Nine Swords King has just been ready, he has already sent troops and conquered impatiently, really a ruthless person!
There was a glimmer of light in the eyes, and everyone present was in awe, took a deep look at him, and thought secretly.
Baili Yutian also pondered a little, and then looked at Baili Jingshidao: "You are the emperor. What do you think of the prime minister's proposal?"
"Enlighten ancestors, Jingwei has always acted boldly, and Zhizhu is in his hands. This is not comparable to the world. In the throne of the emperor alone, all he can do is to be a gatekeeper in his eager plan. Lest he is too anxious and make any mistakes!"
He bowed deeply, and Baili Jingshi smiled indifferently: "However, after three days and three nights of struggle, it is a pity that I was persuaded by him. Although the plan was a bit hasty, there is no doubt that for us hastily, The same is true for the other four states. Unexpected results are bound to be received. Therefore, if I approve this plan, the empire will be able to send troops to fight thunder and lightning!"
Staring at them both closely, Baili Yutian nodded slightly: "Since you all agree, the old man has nothing to say, so let's do it!"
Upon hearing this, the two bowed together and smiled.
Seeing this emperor complement each other, the Nine Sword Kings looked at each other and couldn't help but secretly admire. But they are not admiring how sophisticated this plan is, but admiring the ancestors' good use of people!
In this empire with the guard of the ancestors, the power of the emperor is greatly restricted, so no iron fist means are needed. The key is to be able to tolerate people and judge the situation.
Even between the court and the opposition, the prime minister's affairs are more than that of the emperor!
Therefore, in the position of the prime minister, there are often great talents who govern the country, people like Baili Jingwei, and since they are great talents, there must be times when they are arrogant and arrogant.
Therefore, the power of the emperor is not to govern the country, but to specifically restrict the power of the prime minister. Then this position does not need to be a great talent, after all, a mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and two talented people will meet each other, which will inevitably cause conflicts between literati. So a mediocre person is needed to ease the prime minister's talents.
The mediocrity here does not mean mediocrity, but the doctrine of the mean, that is, people like Baili Jingshi. When Baili Jingwei's brain is hot, pour a basin of cold water on him in time to make him sober so as not to cause catastrophe.
Therefore, at this moment, the emperor of the Sword Star Empire, who has been studying for hundreds of miles, is not a Mingjun who is instructing the country and the scenery is full of scenery, but more like a hermit hiding behind the scenes and controlling the overall situation. He usually ignores political affairs, but at critical moments he can often stabilize the overall situation and avoid major fluctuations.
As a result, one of these two is talented, the other is reserved, and complements each other, but they can guarantee the absolute correctness of the decision. Reconciliation is not as good as reconciliation of the emperor, because their power is bestowed by their ancestors, and there is no conflict in themselves. Instead, there is this rare scene in the ages, and they work together for the empire.
If this were placed in other empires, it would be difficult to achieve. The emperor and the prime minister have always been rivals! The prime minister had always restricted the emperor's power, but he needed the emperor's power; the emperor wanted to kill the prime minister, but he couldn't do without the help of the prime minister, so they fell in love and killed each other.
But now with this quiet movement, the two great talents at the same time identified this plan, then Baili Yutian didn't have to think about it any more, and it was already determined. This plan is inseparable and can't be wrong!
At this point, the iron hoof of the Sword Star Empire toward the four states has been rang lightly, and the day when the horse steps on the mountains and rivers will not be carried out day by day, and the sword of the Nine Sword Kings will also shine to the four states!
But what they never expected was that, except for the four states, a cold corpse was gradually waking up...
"Second son, let's go!"
In the square of the Sword Star Imperial Capital, an old man dressed in black, pulling another young man with the same black hood, helplessly lamented.
Looking at the corpses of people in the center of the square that had turned into a pile of ashes, it seemed that the hot temperature had not yet dissipated, the young man clenched his fist fiercely, looked back suddenly, and disappeared into the crowd.
It's just that his gritted teeth sounded clearly in the old man's ears: "Elder Ming, I swear, we will make a comeback, as the bell ringer, ring the death knell for the Sword Star Empire..."
