Chapter 193: It’s better not to take this path to becoming an emperor!

The night-long battle left all the masters in Kyoto sleepless.

But they couldn't find out anything and could only wait quietly for the grand court meeting the next day.

After all, the court's attitude towards the Great Sage Temple is related to national policy and will even affect the future development of many families, so it must be made clear.

Results the next day.

The one who attended the morning court was not the crown prince.

But it was Li Hong.

Li Hong looked in good spirits and announced the suspension of the Crown Prince's regent duties.

He had only been in charge of the country for a dozen days when he suddenly stopped. I don't know if he was revealing some important news.

Then Li Hong did not mention anything about what happened in the Great Sage Temple last night, but announced several other things.

One is to hand over the mining rights of all minerals in Lingnan to Li Xingluo, and let Li Xingluo and his subordinates tour the south on behalf of the emperor to improve the people's livelihood in Lingnan.

Secondly, it once again emphasized the importance of Nanwu City. There are some historical issues between Daqian and Nanzhao, but they should not be the reason that affects the people of the two suzerain and vassal states. The court must always strongly support the preparations for the restoration of the Bai royal family of Nanzhao.

three……

In short, a lot of things were said, but none of them had anything to do with the Great Sage Temple.

The other orders all seemed to contain a huge amount of information, yet they all seemed somewhat ambiguous, leaving everyone a little confused as to what the emperor was thinking.

For example... was the emperor's southern tour an experience or exile?

Moreover, until the end of the morning court session, there was no mention of when the crown prince would be allowed to continue to govern the country.

The emperor looked in good spirits today, and it seemed as if his chronic illness that had plagued him for many years had improved a lot.

Down to court.

Li Zhixuan's hands and feet were already cold.

came back!
That familiar feeling is back.

I have no idea what my father is talking about.

And there is the Great Sage Temple, such a big thing, but I don’t know anything about it.

What did they do behind my back?
Am I still the prince?

After returning to the East Palace, he paced back and forth anxiously.

Qin Mingxin came up quickly: "Your Highness, I know you are anxious, but don't worry. My father came to see me before the morning court."

"what did he say?"

"He said he would win!"

"..."

Li Zhixuan finally calmed down, holding Qin Mingxin's hand, his eyes full of affection: "Mingxin! I really hope that the day we get married will also be my coronation ceremony. This is the wedding gift I want to give you the most."

Qin Mingxin: “…”

She had the urge to roll her eyes.

In fact, Li Zhixuan's skill in saying sweet words has improved a lot.

Now it's really easy.

But it's just too fake and greasy to be believed.

Li Zhixuan obviously had no intention of following up on the love words. He continued to pace back and forth with his hands behind his back, like plowing the field. This was his way of relieving anxiety.

its not right!
It doesn't make sense no matter how you think about it!
Many of the policies proposed by my father today are indeed correct national policies, but no matter how I look at them, they seem to favor Qin Muye and Li Xingluo.

On the one hand, Li Xingluo was allowed to tour the south on behalf of the emperor.

On the one hand, I will be relieved of my position as regent.

And...his health suddenly got much better.

Obviously he wants to replace me!
urgent!
So urgent!
But at this moment, a man with an ordinary appearance walked in hurriedly.

He whispered in Li Zhixuan's ear: "Prince, His Majesty has summoned you and told you not to alarm others."

"what?"

Li Zhixuan felt increasingly unsure, so he said something to Qin Mingxin and strode away.

The pace is fast.

After a while, they arrived at the gate of Yongqing Palace.

Eunuch Hong opened the door for him and ran outside to wait.

Li Zhixuan entered the hall and greeted Li Hong respectfully, but he waited and waited but there was no response from Li Hong.

One could only vaguely tell through the screen that Li Hong was meditating.

"Father?"

I waited for a quarter of an hour.

Li Zhixuan finally realized that something was wrong and moved behind the screen step by step: "Father...ah! Someone, someone, come!"

After a while.

The imperial physician provided emergency treatment, and all the civil and military officials, concubines and princes who had heard the news rushed to the scene were waiting outside the palace.

Li Zhixuan's face turned pale.

Hey!
Isn’t this a coincidence?

If you don't know.

I thought I killed my father.

Ha ha ha ha……

Just when Li Zhixuan was about to go crazy.

Suddenly I felt someone poking my back, and when I turned around I saw it was Shen Kui.

The two exchanged glances and immediately found an empty corner.

Li Zhixuan asked anxiously, "Prime Minister Shen, what's the matter?"

Shen Kui's face was filled with sorrow: "In fact, His Majesty... knew that he was going to die a long time ago. I just came out of Yongqing Palace shortly before summoning you."

"What! Then..."

"Your Majesty has made a will, which determines who will own the throne!"

"who is it!?"

Li Zhixuan's voice trembled.

Shen Kui uttered three words in a deep voice: "Li Xingluo!"

Li Zhixuan: "???"

It was as if a thunderclap sounded in his mind.

The explosion caused all his thoughts to come to a standstill.

Li Xingluo?
Li Xingluo?
Why!

Father, you are biased!

Shen Kui's face was filled with sorrow: "Although the princess is very capable, she is after all the blood of a divine messenger. This, this..."

Li Zhixuan was filled with great resentment and struggle.

Why!
We had clearly agreed on this a long time ago!
Why!
Father...you are biased!
at last.

He ruthlessly stamped his feet and said, "Prime Minister Shen, where is my father's will?"

Shen Kui was extremely shocked: "Prince! You are... You must not do this. This is a capital crime punishable by death!"

Li Zhixuan said righteously: "For the sake of Daqian, even if I am beheaded, what does it matter?"

Shen Kui's face turned pale: "But His Majesty has decided this, we..."

"Prime Minister Shen!"

Li Zhixuan reminded him sternly: "Are you willing to assist a madman who can't control his greed and be infamous for eternity in the "Legend of the Traitor"? "

Shen Kui was silent for a long time, and finally nodded: "Then follow me!"

An hour later.

The emperor announced his death and his will was made public.

Crown Prince Li Zhixuan was supposed to remain in vigil for three days before succeeding to the throne.

Just when Li Zhixuan was keeping vigil.

An unknown manor somewhere.

The three old men raised their glasses and drank to each other with a smile.

"Dry!"

"Zi Niu!"

"His ha..."

"Hahahahaha..."

Li Rui has aged greatly, but he is in exceptionally good spirits today.

But he hesitated for a while, and said: "Your Majesty! Isn't it not good to hide this from Kaijiang?"

Li Hong touched his chin, as if he was adjusting the angle. "Don't call me Your Majesty, I'm not the emperor anymore. From now on, I'll call you Brother and you call me Brother. Don't worry about whether we can open up new territories or not, as long as we don't die, we have to help some petty masters vent their anger, right?"

"Hahaha!"

The three of them laughed together, and the manor was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Just at this time.

A voice came from the micro communication device in Li Hong's ear.

"Vent your anger out? I'll take it out on you... Shit! Where did you send my wife to?"

"..."

Li Hong's smile froze on his face. Why hasn't he found it yet?

His heart tightened slightly.

I couldn't help but hit my thigh.

I wondered if what I said that day was too much.

……

A straw raincoat.

Walking through the dense forest.

Li Xingluo looked up at the fog in the forest and breathed a sigh of relief.

If I conceal my whereabouts with miasma, Makino won't be able to find me, right?

She lowered her head and walked much slower.

Although it has been three days, Li Hong’s words still keep echoing in my mind.

"Xingluo! You are a poor child. It is not easy to meet someone who loves you. But... you are not a good wife!"

"It's true that Makino treats you very well, but think about it, when he approached you in the beginning, did he really have nothing in mind?"

"He possesses amazing talent. Even if he doesn't take sides, he can still become a great master of Daqian."

"And you...can only help him go one step further."

"Of course, his future devotion to you will be more out of love."

"That's why he got so deeply involved that he almost lost all his wealth to you, including the lives of his wife and children."

"This is love, it's true."

"But I want to ask, what about you?"

"What did you give?"

"You are a wife. If you hold the imperial power, you can still help her. But what about now? You can't help him, but drag him step by step into the abyss."

"Are you... a qualified wife?"

"Everything is uncertain now. He is so hot-blooded that he can't blame you."

"What if Bai Yuji and her son die tragically because of you? Will he hold a grudge against you?"

"Let him go!"

"Okay?"

These words were like a knife, repeatedly cutting his heart.

But in fact, she was not convinced.

Because Qin Muye asked her to believe him.

But until...

"The Great Saint Temple!"

"Do you feel the fluctuations over there?"

"Muye went to challenge the entire Great Saint Temple."

"I don't deny that he must be certain in his heart if he dares to do this."

"But... can you really accept with peace of mind that he has been walking on the brink of life and death for you?"

"You may be the most outstanding daughter I have ever met."

"But you have to be the worst wife I've ever met."

"When he has a new confidante in the future, what do you think you are?"

and so……

Li Xingluo left, and she didn't think she was the worst wife. She had obviously done everything she could.

but……

Without me, Makino can indeed live a better life.

Just disappear yourself.

Li Zhixuan's vigilance towards him would be greatly reduced, coupled with his superb weapon refining skills.

No matter how petty the new emperor is, he will only regard him as the imperial teacher.

Ok……

Not having yourself is important.

Li Xingluo wiped the dew on his forehead, and his mind regained some clarity. He looked around and found a semi-open cave to sit down.

The forest is filled with fog and the humidity is extremely high.

Combined with the light rain last night, the clothes were stuck to her body.

But she didn't care at all. She just huddled in the corner of the cave, hugging her legs alone.

possible……

Am I a superfluous person?

The only purpose of my coming to this world is to provide Daqian with a Great Saint Temple, right?
At this time.

The light and shadows are still chattering.

"You see, to them, you are redundant."

"All feelings in this world are fake."

"Only desire is real!"

"Come! Listen to me..."

A trace of anger arose in Li Xingluo's heart.

I couldn't help but curse: "Shut up! Makino's love for me is real!"

"real!"

Guangying sneered, "If it's true, why are you running away? You're just afraid, afraid that it will be just as Li Hong said, that you will drag him down step by step, become inferior to his other confidantes step by step, and eventually be despised and hated!
Does he love you?

Maybe love now!
But love changes.

Love... is the most unreliable thing!

Li Xingluo!
You should wake up!
Ever since you achieved Grandmaster level, you have never let go of your desires.

If you only rely on killing, when will you be able to become a god of war?

Believe me!
Cultivation and power are the real truth.

Only when you are on top of the world do you deserve anything.

By then, you will not only have Qin Muye, but also Zhang Muye, Sun Muye, and Gu Muye..."

"It's so funny! As if you can help me stand on top of the world."

"Ah……"

The light and shadow are silent.

Not in such an insulting way.

I am just a projection of consciousness, why are you insulting me?

The light and shadow stopped talking.

Although it knew that this was Li Xingluo's most vulnerable moment.

But... I am really too bad.

I am so weak, what can I do?
The light and shadow suddenly brightened.

It is God who is asking for a call.

Li Xingluo hung up directly.

She did have the slightest thought of "becoming stronger, conquering the world, and completely possessing Qin Muye".

But God is a beggar.

At most it can help me improve my strength.

You have to fight for the throne on your own.

If I could fight for the throne, I would have been living happily with Muye by now. What do you have to do with me?

But it happened at this time.

"Young lady, you haven't lost yet!"

"Ok?"

Li Xingluo's expression froze, his eyes fixed on the disfigured man in front of him: "Pu Minglong?"

She quickly became alert and put on all the jewelry left by Mu Jianqiu.

What is standing in front of me now is not just walking.

But it is Pu Minglong’s true body!

And...his aura is much stronger than before.

I’m afraid he has become… a lower-level god of war!

He has made a breakthrough already?

How many believers have he and the Mu family developed these days?

Pu Minglong smiled slightly: "Young lady! You don't have to be so alert. You are now unacceptable to heaven and earth, and I am your most solid ally. Whether you regard me as a servant of the Pu family or your maternal uncle, I am most willing to help you, right?"

"Oh?"

Li Xingluo sneered: "What? Can you help me ascend to the throne?"

Pu Minglong smiled confidently: "What's the difficulty? Young lady, don't be too pessimistic about your situation. The Qian Kingdom left by the old man Li Hong is indeed not weak, and the road that should be paved has been paved for Li Zhixuan.

But Li Zhixuan himself is a big mess. As long as he has the illusion that he is a wise king, it is only a matter of time before he kills Qin Kaijiang. Qin Kaijiang is also a weirdo. Unless he abandons his own cultivation, otherwise... hehe!"

Li Xingluo narrowed his eyes: "You are not a complete idiot!"

Pu Minglong was not angry either: "I have been hiding like a dog for more than ten years, with nothing else to do. I actually listened to Li Hong's advice and read some history books. It really worked. This can be regarded as the son-in-law helping the young lady to cultivate a capable minister."

Li Xingluo looked at him sternly.

She knew in her heart that Pu Minglong must be sincerely seeking cooperation this time.

Moreover, it seems that I have some qualifications for cooperation.

Although this person had already touched the threshold of becoming a god of war, he has now completely stepped over it. It is obvious that he has gained some believers who are already strong.

I don’t know which of the small countries around Daqian has been infiltrated by him.

Moreover, the situation Pu Minglong described is not impossible. If he were the emperor, it would be difficult for him to allow a behemoth like the Qin family to exist.

The military and political affairs are independent, there are countless elite troops, the god of war is in charge, and there are groups of masters.

The best we can do is to use gentle means to disintegrate the power of the Qin family. If we encounter fierce resistance, we can only go to extremes.

But now.

Qin Kaijiang knew that the foreign enemy was very strong, and for the safety of Daqian, he would definitely not use force.

Once Li Zhixuan falls into false prosperity...

There is indeed a possibility of a turnaround.

Think of this.

The fanatical desire for power that had been suppressed for so long began to stir.

The emotions that had been suppressed for a long time seemed to have found a breakthrough at this moment and were being tested frantically.

Her eyes flashed: "Tell me! What are the conditions!"

Pu Minglong smiled and took out a magic stone from his arms: "It's very simple! Join us... No! Miss, we have always been a family! With your prestige in Daqian and your understanding of Daqian, we will definitely accomplish great things! We are not good at management, and no one can shake your position as the monarch!"

His eyes were frighteningly bright.

From beginning to end, he suffered nothing but losses in front of the Li and Qin families.

Now...it's finally going to succeed.

He had indeed conquered a small country, and the ruler of that country even betrothed a little daughter to him, promising that their child would be the future monarch.

Although he knew that this was just a pretense, he had a way to make the king accept it with a pinch of his nose.

But he felt that this was not enough.

If a small ruler wants to maintain a stable throne, it will take at least sixteen years.

A lot can happen in sixteen years, and it is very likely that history will not even have a chance to catch up.

Moreover, they had to expand their territory, attack Daqian, and destroy friendly countries.

How can it be faster than just occupying Daqian?
If Li Xingluo becomes the emperor, he will certainly take away some benefits from himself, but he is her main god!

To be done!
To be done!
Hahahaha...

Pu Minglong looked at Li Xingluo's increasingly fanatical eyes, his heart filled with a sense of ecstasy as if he had secured victory.

But just when Li Xingro was about to take the magic stone.

"Snapped!"

Li Xing Russell clapped his hands and knocked the magic stone to the ground.

"when!"

"Dangdangdang..."

Li Xingluo looked disdainful: "Even if I were to turn the tables, I should have looked for Muye! Who do you think you are? You are emotionally unstable, you don't have any money in your pocket, and your subordinates are a bunch of scoundrels. The most important thing is that you are ugly. I feel sick just by looking at you!"

Pu Minglong: “???”

An extremely strong surge of anger rose from my heart.

came back!
That feeling of humiliation is back!
Miss, you really are worthy of being Li Hong’s daughter!

He forced himself to suppress his anger: "Young lady, do you know that you are cutting off the path to becoming an emperor?"

"The road to the great emperor?"

Li Xingluo sneered: "Mad Queen? She is as crazy as you and your aunt every day, causing trouble here and there. No one loves you, but I do, and I suggest you die quickly."

Pu Minglong: “Huff, huff…”

Li Xingluo felt his rapidly rising murderous intent and laughed even more happily: "Yes, yes, yes! That's right, you're angry after just two sentences. Oh, so you're a 'god', and it seems that your cultivation has also broken through to the level of a war god. That's it? That's it? That's it?"

No one can accept being humiliated by the same group of people all the time.

Some people explode in silence, while others perish in silence.

Pu Minglong is obviously not the latter.

The black mist on his body surged, and he could no longer conceal the murderous intent in his heart.

Li Xingluo's palms were already sweating.

I was thinking...it would be nice if I died now.

Didn't cause any trouble to Makino.

No one dies alone.

She thought about committing suicide.

But I can't bear to do that.

Sometimes she even felt scared. If Muye was not in her life, would she have accepted Pu Minglong's bewitching just now?
Ok!

Now I am not afraid anymore, and I don’t have to feel reluctant anymore.

It's not easy to find a good reason to commit suicide.

Thanks to Pu Minglong for sending me the sharp blade.

"go to hell!"

A ball of black gas came up from Pu Minglong.

The true energy in Li Xingluo's body also surged out, and countless sword energies spewed out from his palms.

Death is death.

It's good to vent your anger before you die.

It is not a good thing to wait for death.

then.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

The black fog was dissipated and Li Xingluo was fine.

Pu Minglong was beaten back step by step.

He was extremely shocked and looked at the dazzling jewelry on Li Xingluo, his eyes widened.

This, what's the situation?
Li Xingluo was also confused. She had studied this jewelry before, and each type had an extremely mysterious function. If it didn't have a great impact on the mind, she probably wouldn't have taken it off.

But... it's just mysterious, and it doesn't bring much direct improvement to combat.

But just now, he clearly burst out with the combat power of a god of war, and the sword energy just now seemed to be guided by something, intertwining with each other to form a mysterious trajectory, easily defeating the fog.

what is happening.

Pu Minglong's face was filled with fear, and he even stuttered when he spoke: "You, you you you, you are Mu, Mu Mu Mu..."

A woman's joking voice sounded: "You scumbag, bullying my daughter-in-law is very satisfying, right?"
