After losing to Zhou Dufu that year, the Demon Lord was seriously injured and spent a thousand years of cultivation in Xuelao City. This time, he suddenly came to Hanshan. What did he want to do? What is worth such a big risk for a big man like Mojun? What's on Chen Changsheng's body? Or what does his existence mean
This is something that old man Tianji can't figure it out no matter how he calculates it, even Xu Yourong can't figure it out with his life astrolabe, but she can ask directly.
If she dared to ask, Chen Changsheng dared to answer, even though it was his biggest secret. To her, he has no secrets, not to mention that he had confessed this secret to her as early as in Zhou Lingli. To be more precise, part of his secret is now in her body.
Chen Changsheng pointed to his body, did not make a sound, but drew a word with his mouth: "Blood."
Xu Yourong understood, and coupled with the records of the demon king's injuries in Nanxi Zhai, she completely understood the origin of this incident.
"Nan Ke?" She also asked silently.
Chen Changsheng nodded.
Xu Yourong looked at him, eyes full of worry.
Now that the devil knows Chen Changsheng's secret, it means that he may attack Chen Changsheng at any time. That is the most terrifying strong man in this continent, and being watched indifferently by such a strong man all the time, what kind of heavy shadow is that? What kind of pressure do you have to bear to live in this shadow
Xu Yourong asked himself with a clear mind, and he couldn't imagine how to deal with such a problem if he was faced with it. She was very worried about Chen Changsheng. Even if he didn't leave the capital from now on, and the national religion would give priority to protection, if his mood was restricted, it would be extremely bad for his cultivation.
Chen Changsheng himself was not worried about this problem, because he had already lived under a similar shadow for several years. He was more worried about whether the secrets in his body would be known by more people. He has never forgotten what Senior Brother Yu Ren said that night - no one can endure that kind of temptation.
Xu Yourong said, "No."
Chen Changsheng thought about it, and agreed with her, that the Demon Lord should be hiding this secret.
It's like a treasure sinking in a lake. People who know the news will definitely not gossip about it, but will slowly and quietly salvage it by themselves.
"Have you ever thought that the Demon Lord's appearance in Hanshan is a conspiracy?"
Xu Yourong didn't know what to think of, looked him in the eyes and said very seriously.
Chen Changsheng, Tang Thirty-Six, and Zhexiu had conjectures about this, but they couldn't figure out why, so they shook their heads.
Xu Yourong looked into his eyes and said, "Where is the business director? What exactly does he want to do? What does His Majesty the Pope want to do?"
Chen Changsheng didn't want to continue this question, so he remained silent.
Xu Yourong was also silent.
After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly said, "Tell your empress about this."
Chen Changsheng looked into her eyes without saying a word.
Xu Yourong looked at him quietly, without any intention of giving in, and said, "If this is a game between His Majesty the Pope and the Dean of Commerce, then only the empress can break it."
Chen Changsheng said without hesitation: "I trust His Majesty the Pope."
Xu Yourong said, "What about the business director?"
Chen Changsheng didn't answer, he got up and went to the table to pour a cup of tea.
Xu Yourong looked at his back, the pity in his eyes was fleeting, and said: "Everyone thinks that you are the successor of the state religion, and naturally stand on the opposite side of the empress, but have you ever thought that if you look at it from another angle, the scenery may Would it be very different?"
Chen Changsheng knew that she was not lobbying for the Holy Empress, she was concerned about himself, but it was impossible for him to say anything.
Just like the conversation Tang Sanshiliu had with him in the Orthodox Academy, everyone has their own responsibilities.
He is a young man who was picked up by his master, brought up and educated, and after he came to the capital, he was loved and nurtured by Archbishop Merisa, and valued by His Majesty the Pope. He has obtained too much from the state religion, so he will Assume corresponding responsibilities and…
"I don't trust my mother." He held a teacup and said calmly to Xu Yourong.
"Why?" Xu Yourong stood up, looked at him and asked, "Because the empress is a woman, not a man?"
Chen Changsheng looked at the teacup in his hand and said, "No, it's because she is not a good person."
It involves such a big event as the throne of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the inheritance of the national religion. It is about a big man who has been up and down in the world for many years, but he uses men and women, good and bad to talk about it. Young men and women are childish, innocent and ridiculous.
But they mean it.
Xu Yourong knew that Chen Changsheng was such a person.
She was one of those people herself.
The room became quiet, and neither of them spoke for a long time.
This is the first time since they met each other that they have discussed this issue in a relatively formal manner, and they have never talked about it before because of the so-called camp.
"Your Majesty is to me... like a mother."
After an unknown amount of time, Xu Yourong's voice sounded again, a little weak, but very emotional.
Regarding the relationship between the Holy Empress of Tianhai and Xu Yourong, including Chen Changsheng, many people felt that they could not understand how that kind of love and trust came about until the Liaotian sword in Su Li's letter soared into the sky. After meeting Mu Jian Xiaofeng on the night sky in Kyoto, everyone knew the real reason—it turns out that the Holy Empress is also of Tianfeng blood. A more important inheritance than child interest.
"But she's not a good person." Looking into Xu Yourong's eyes, Chen Changsheng said calmly but firmly, "So I won't trust her."
Xu Yourong looked at him and asked softly, "What is the standard of good and evil?"
Chen Changsheng said: "I'm not trying to argue with you. The argument that great good is equal to evil is beyond my grasp. All I know is that she killed many innocent people."
Since she took charge of state affairs hundreds of years ago, countless people have died under Tianhai Shenghou, including the Chen royal family, the old state religion, corrupt officials, and criminals who committed crimes, but no one can deny that during this process Here, there are many people who should not have died because of her.
"Uncle Su has also killed many people. Although he was unintentional, many innocent people died under his sword."
"Intentional or not, in my opinion, this is a big difference."
"Then how can you be sure that the innocent people who died were the deliberate actions of your empress?"
"Because of Zhou Tong." Chen Changsheng looked into her eyes and said, "Zhou Tong is a pure villain. He takes pleasure in cruelty and tortures all living beings. From the first day I used this person, my lord, I have never seen him again." There is no way to say that I did not intend to do evil."
After a moment of silence, Xu Yourong said, "Could it be that all of Zhou Tong's crimes should be attributed to the empress? This is a bit unfair."
Chen Changsheng said: "A dog owner does not keep a leash. If a dog bites a person, it is of course the owner's fault. When a sharp knife comes out of its sheath to kill someone, it is of course the fault of the person holding the knife."
As everyone knows, Zhou Tong is a vicious dog and a sharp knife raised by the Holy Empress.
Xu Yourong looked into his eyes and said, "You are willing to defend Master Su, but you are not willing to show empathy, after all, you are still biased."
Chen Changsheng said: "I haven't seen how many people Senior Su Li killed in the Changshengzong and Xunyang City back then, but... the murders of Niangniang and Zhou Tong in the capital were written in books, and I have read the books. I know those handwritings are all written in blood, it's very glaring."
It was quiet again, and the two of them didn't speak for a long time again.
