Chapter 219 Emperor Chu: I Will Indulge You Once (8000)

The night was dark and the moonlight was shining from the sky. Only Xu Bai and Yin Yue were here.

When Yingyue spoke all the words next to Xu Bai's ear, she left here.

Xu Bai didn't make any movement, just stood there with a gloomy expression on his face, still thinking about what Yingyue said just now in his mind.

"My father said that Eunuch Wei will die soon. He will take advantage of the army to enter the barbarians and go to Dayue Kingdom to fight the emperor of Dayue Kingdom."

"He asked me to tell you that you can go to the Star Reaching Tower to find him. Don't tell anyone about this."

"At that time, he will also tell you the secrets in Sansheng Mountain."

These are what Yingyue said to him. When Xu Bai listened, he didn't know what he felt in his heart.

Although the secret of Sansheng Mountain was important, he had forgotten it due to a series of things after he came back, but the most important thing was that he heard the news that Eunuch Wei was about to die.

"Go to death..." Xu Bai moved his lips slightly and repeated these two words. Then, he turned around and returned to his temporary residence.

In the room, Ye Zi was making the bed.

Xu Bai didn't have time to say more, he just said that she might not come back tonight and asked her to go to Master Tianyin.

Ye Zi was slightly disappointed, but remembered that his young master had important things to do, so he was not clumsy, nodded slightly, and agreed.

Xu Bai left the room, left the palace, and went directly to the Star-Zhaing Tower.

Because it was already dark, there was no one else on the street, and Xu Bai's steps were a little heavy.

If it were other things, he might not want to take care of it, but he really wanted to take care of this matter.

Other people's affairs are different from those of Eunuch Wei. Ever since he entered the capital, Eunuch Wei has treated him extremely well.

If this matter is ignored and Eunuch Wei is allowed to die, Xu Bai may have a knot in his heart forever.

If you want to take care of it, how to proceed is an important issue. It is impossible to go to the emperor's study room and make a fuss. This is inappropriate.

The news conveyed by Shadow Moon just now was said by Chief Mu. From this point of view, Chief Mu should have a method, otherwise it would be impossible for him to be called over.

Walking on the dim street, Xu Bai took out the beads given by Eunuch Wei from his arms.

This bead is held in the hand, a treasure of extraordinary ninth grade, but now it is so heavy.

"No wonder Eunuch Wei told me so much and even gave me a treasure. It turned out to be his last words before he died."

Xu Bai didn't know that such a big thing would happen, so he didn't pay attention to it. He only thought that Wei Eunuch was good to him and gave him the treasure.

After all, who in the world can kill Eunuch Wei?

Thinking about it now, everything was so strange that Xu Bai felt a little sad.

Perhaps Eunuch Wei was willing, after all, he had dedicated his life to the Chu Kingdom, but if it could be saved, Xu Bai would definitely take action.

"I hope you can give me a way."

Standing at the door of the Star Reaching Building, Xu Bai stepped inside and smoothly followed the stairs to reach the ninth floor.

The ninth floor was brightly lit, and Chief Mu was sitting on a chair with two cups of tea in front of him.

"sit down."

With his strength, he naturally saw Xu Bai coming. Without saying anything, he just raised his hand and motioned Xu Bai to sit down.

Xu Bai sat down and looked at the steaming tea. He didn't mince words: "How to save him?"

We have reached this point now, and there is no point in beating around the bush. It is better to speak directly.

General Mu's eyes were like vast stars, staring closely into Xu Bai's eyes: "Before we talk about this, let's talk about the things in the ruins first."

"Don't worry, I've blocked everything around me, no one can find it, no one can hear it."

Xu Bai frowned and said nothing, waiting for General Mu's next words.

"These are all the guesses in the ruins. I got it first and looked at it carefully." Director Mu handed over a piece of paper with dense small characters on it.

"This is what I have concluded, but it is just someone else's guess, and it may not be accurate. After all, it is just a guess."

Xu Bai took it in his hand and read it carefully.

The oil lamp on the table swayed slightly, and the light and shadow shone on Xu Bai's face, flickering from time to time.

After half a stick of incense, Xu Bai put down the paper in his hand and said, "No roots and no pings. It's just the guess of the crazy old man. Let's just treat it as a guess."

As written above, the crazy old man believes that there is a flaw in the world, which leads to the depletion of resources.

One way to solve the problem of resource depletion is to eliminate all people in the industry and treat everyone as ordinary people, so that the cycle can be reversed.

After Xu Bai read it, he felt that it was just the crazy old man's guess.

Just like now, Emperor Chu and the others believed that as long as they unified the world and captured Gui City, the problem of resource depletion would not exist.

But no one knows whether it is true.

So it's just a guess. Xu Bai just needs to understand. What he wants to know more now is about Eunuch Wei.

"I know what you are thinking." General Mu put down the tea cup and sighed: "It's difficult to save him."

Xu Bai narrowed his eyes: "When I came here, I thought of a way. I guessed His Majesty's thoughts. As long as Dai Viet does not help, then there is no need to die."

"Let Eunuch Wei go to the border, stand there, and let the emperor of Dayue see it. Let the emperor of Dayue know what Eunuch Wei wants to do, and he will not send troops."

As the saying goes, conquering the enemy without fighting, Xu Bai believed that his method was the best, and there was no need for Eunuch Wei to fight life or death.

"This method is indeed good, but His Majesty must have thought of it. This is somewhat in conflict with His Majesty's ideas." General Mu shook his head.

"Have you ever thought about what His Majesty's true intention is?"

Xu Bai frowned again and slowly rotated the teacup in his hand, making a harsh sound.

After a long time, he took a deep breath and his eyes became extremely complicated.

"Unify the world."

If Emperor Chu has any unfulfilled wish, it must be this.

"Do you understand?" Chief Mu asked.

Xu Bai nodded: "Your Majesty plans to swallow up both forces in one go."

He finally figured it out. If it was as he had just guessed, Eunuch Wei would definitely die on this trip.

Now, when the Dai Viet Kingdom has fallen apart, attacking the barbarians is the best choice.

Make a very simple assumption.

If this trip is successful and the barbarians are successfully captured, the Chu Kingdom will also suffer losses. Will the remaining troops be able to attack the Dai Viet Kingdom?

Even if Dai Viet Kingdom is in chaos, can it really be easily won?

the answer is negative.

The reason is also very simple, the chaos is not thorough enough.

How do you want to completely bring chaos down? It's also very simple. As long as the emperor of Dai Viet dies, it will be a real chaos. Only by taking advantage of this chaos to attack can we be completely sure.

First, the Shadow Tower was removed, causing Dayue to lose a pair of eyes and creating opportunities for Eunuch Wei.

After killing the emperor, the remaining military god Bai Zhong and prime minister Liu Yue will inevitably be divided.

And that time is the best time.

Therefore, this is the necessary reason for Eunuch Wei's trip.

If it were just a simple deterrent, the Great Yue Kingdom would probably stay in retreat and let the Great Chu Kingdom destroy the barbarians.

But it is simply impossible to destroy the Dai Viet Kingdom in one go.

That takes time, and time is the most susceptible to change, because no one can tell what will happen in the future.

"Huh..." Xu Bai took a deep breath and spit it out slowly, with a bitter look on his face: "So there is really no other way."

If this is really such a plan, there is no way around it.

But he still had some expectations in his heart, because there must be a way for General Mu to call him here today.

"Are you willing to take risks?" General Mu suddenly said: "Take risks for Eunuch Wei. The risks I am talking about are no less risky than when you went to Dai Viet."

Xu Bai was silent.

General Mu didn't say anything. He was waiting for Xu Bai's reply.

Time gradually passed. Although this time was still a normal transition, Xu Bai felt that it was very slow.

Looking at the flame of the oil lamp dancing in front of him, he raised his head and said, "Yes."

He had thought about it just now, whether to go or not. This was a very serious question, but after thinking about it, he decided to go.

For no other reason than Eunuch Wei treated him like this, if he didn't go, huh...

Apart from anything else, he doesn't even look down on himself.

People must have principles in life. If others treat you well, but you treat them coldly, wouldn't you be worse than a pig or a dog?

"Good!" Chief Mu praised him with admiration: "You are worthy of being admired by Eunuch Wei. This courage is indeed worthy of Eunuch Wei's help to you."

"What should I do?" Xu Bai asked.

Now that you have agreed, let's see how to deal with it in the future.

Chief Mu said: "First of all, we have to understand one thing. No one in this world can save Eunuch Wei. Eunuch Wei will definitely die this time."

"But if we can find someone to go instead of Eunuch Wei, then... we can bring him back to life."

Replace Eunuch Wei?

Xu Bai was slightly startled.

He thought carefully about what Director Mu said, and then shook his head.

"In this world, there are nine masters who have become saints. They are all about the same strength. If they fight for their lives, they can all die together. But they all belong to three kingdoms. It is impossible to ask others to go."

General Mu nodded and said: "Other people can't be counted on, but in the Great Chu Kingdom, if Your Majesty goes to the Great Chu Kingdom to cause chaos first, and if I go, Supervisor Tiansi will be the same as the Dark Tower, and the prince will not be able to go either. Once there, the border is as thin as paper.”

Xu Bai finally picked up the teacup on the table and took a slight sip.

General Mu continued: "But it doesn't exist in this world, which doesn't mean it doesn't exist in other places. You know where I am talking about."

Xu Bai put down the tea cup: "Gui Shi."

In this world, there is no other place except Gui City. It is impossible for people in the ruins to come out because they are all thinking gods.

Listening to what Chief Mu said, if he allowed himself to enter the strange market, could he still be able to bring out the strange things inside?

Let’s not talk about whether it is successful or not. Even if it is done, it is just a thing with no soul and only instinct.

A weirdo with only instinct can cause huge disasters.

You can't control it even if you take it. What's the use of something you can't control?

"Ahem." Director Mu coughed softly.

Xu Bai immediately cast a strange look.

At this level of strength, how could he still be coughing?

He started showing off his coolness again.

Sure enough, after coughing, Director Mu spoke slowly in a slow and stylish voice.

"Speaking of this matter, it is also related to the evil eye knife."

"I saw the casting process of the Evil Eye Sword, which means I saw the past and learned something about the past."

Xu Bai was stunned for a moment, and was about to pull out the evil eye from his waist. Then he thought that there was no need to pull it out, so he pointed at the handle of the knife: "Isn't it possible that you also plotted this thing?"

To be honest, he was indeed a little afraid of General Mu.

This person was so calculating that he brought down the Shadow Tower.

"Of course not, don't make false accusations against good people." General Mu waved his hand and said: "Giving you this knife has nothing to do with my plan, but I will let you help. This is part of my plan."

"I know that after the collapse of the Shadow Tower, the country of Dayue will be in chaos. At that time, Your Majesty will definitely send troops to the barbarians. At this time, Eunuch Wei will die."

"Back then, everyone was fighting in a bloody storm. Your Majesty has his high opinions. I know this is inevitable, but I want to save him."

Having said this, Director Mu seemed a little depressed and raised his tea cup to take a sip.

After taking a sip, he felt that it was not enough, so he stood up, took a jar of wine from the shelf next to him, and took a long gulp.

"Hey, speaking of it, His Majesty was the most affectionate at first, but now he has become the most ruthless one." Director Mu said bitterly: "Although we all know his difficulties, and we also know that it is painful for him to make this decision. ,but……"

He didn't say the rest and took another sip of wine.

"It's better to drink alcohol. I haven't drank for many years in order not to get addicted."

Xu Bai raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't care much about this. I just want to know how to save Eunuch Wei. What have you seen in the past?"

He didn't want to know or care about these things. Since he came here today to solve Eunuch Wei's matter, he just came here simply for this matter.

"I saw the casting process of this sword. The person who cast this sword was a ninth-level saint." Chief Mu said slowly.

"I told you before that this sword was made from countless monster corpses, but it lacks one of the most important things, so it can only reach the first level of sainthood, not the ninth level."

"What?" Xu Bai asked.

General Mu raised a finger: "A demon heart, a demon heart that reaches the peak of sainthood."

"Back then, when the swordsmith who made the sword was looking for the demon heart, he met the demon clan at the peak of sainthood. The two had a battle. When the demon clan at the peak of sainthood was about to die, he gave his demon heart to Entered the Monster City."

"Even if you are a saint-level being, you will end up losing your soul if you enter the strange market."

"The knifemaker didn't dare to pursue it, so it became this knife. It's the only regret."

Xu Bai fell into deep thought, and he slowly understood what Director Mu said.

When General Mu saw Xu Bai thinking, he did not interrupt and took another sip of wine.

Xu Bai came back from his thoughts: "You want me to find that demon heart?"

"Even if the demon heart enters the demon city, what ability do I have to get the demon heart?"

"Besides, it was a very ancient time. I don't know what has changed until now."

What he said was true, and he was not afraid to take risks, but something that sounded like there was no chance of winning was a bit mysterious.

With this sword and Xu Bai's own ability to fight across levels, although he is only at the first level of the extraordinary, he can fight against the seventh level of the extraordinary.

But...it won't work if you become a saint.

"As long as this sword is still there, the demon heart will still be there. If the demon heart is destroyed, the sword will be gone. This is what the swordsmith said back then." Chief Mu said.

"That swordsmith is also a master who has reached the pinnacle of sainthood. He is also a saint who has achieved sainthood through casting. He has a unique pride."

"He associates this sword with the demon heart, hoping that one day he can perfect this sword. If it cannot be perfected, it is better to destroy it."

Xu Bai frowned when he heard this.

Director Mu stood up and poured Xu Bai a glass of wine.

Xu Bai didn't drink, he was not in the mood to drink.

When General Mu saw this, he didn't say anything and continued to return to the topic.

"This sword, if you can find the demon heart, will be a ninth-level holy treasure. When you use it, if you hold it and cooperate with Chaos, you can kill the ninth-level sword."

Xu Bai clenched the tea cup in his hand: "Is it that simple?"

If you can use a knife to kill the ninth-level saint, then this demon heart is worth it.

"It depends on whether you are willing to part with it or not?" Chief Mu said with a smile: "Once this move is used and the demon's heart is destroyed, then this sword will be completely destroyed."

Are you willing to part with it?

This is nothing more than an external thing.

If Eunuch Wei can be rescued, Xu Bai doesn't care.

"Of course." Chief Mu added: "If you give up, you will gain. I know you like secret books. If this trip is successful, you can go to the royal treasure house and see whatever you want, for as long as you want. Just see how long it takes.”

After saying that, Chief Mu stopped talking and took out a token from his arms.

"Everyone in the world knows that I only have two one-time holy treasures, but they don't know that I have a third one."

"This token can exert the power of the Third Holy Saint. Just crush it and you will have the strength of the Third Holy Saint for half an hour. It can also help you get through some difficulties."

Xu Bai took the token, felt the special energy from the token, and put it in his arms.

This thing can be used to save lives, but it is not enough.

Who knows how many masters there are in Yaogui City, and they are all dead in the industry from a long time ago until now.

Although these monsters have turned into monsters after they died, and their strength will be fixed forever after entering Monster City, but nothing can be said for sure.

"Do you know why there are only nine holy masters in the world?" Chief Mu asked.

"Because two of them were killed by Eunuch Wei." Xu Bai said.

"Yes, but that is not a coincidence, but a destiny. Only we luck masters know that nine is the ultimate number." Chief Mu said.

"Unless a master of becoming a saint dies in this world, as long as someone steps into becoming a saint, they will die, and the way of death is extremely strange. Those two died because of this situation."

"How could a master who became a saint at that time go to the Great Chu Kingdom without fear of danger just to get a little wealth?"

"Prime Minister Wen is half-stepped into becoming a saint, but he has never dared to become a saint. It is for this reason."

Xu Bai was surprised.

This is still a new thing, he really doesn't know about it.

But the most important thing now is how to be safer.

"Are you thinking about how to increase security?" Director Mu could see what Xu Bai was thinking at a glance.

By this time, he was going to go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire.

Of course, Xu Bai would not shy away from this. He nodded and admitted that this was the case.

"You have a method of disguising yourself, but you haven't returned the human skin mask yet." Chief Mu said: "Kongkongmen's method of disguising oneself cannot simulate strange abilities, but with Kongkongmen's skills, the appearance is already perfect. Well, as long as you are not a saint master, you won’t be able to find it.”

"There are so many weird things in Weishi City, how can we encounter the weird things that reach the level of sainthood?"

"Even if we encounter you, with this token, you may be able to escape."

"and this."

A light ball was taken out by Chief Mu and handed to Xu Bai's hand.

Xu Bai took it in his hand and didn't know why.

"The luck of the Great Chu Kingdom is only one-tenth, but now the luck of the Great Chu Kingdom is as strong as a dragon, which can better ensure your safety." Director Mu said: "If you believe my words, just open your mind and let me Inject luck into your body.”

"If you have luck, you won't be too unlucky. Your luck will be reversed in the smallest details."

"Of course, you must return your luck to me when you come back. After all, this belongs to the Chu Kingdom, not mine."

Once you reach the mortal realm, you cannot inject luck without someone's consent, so General Mu needs Xu Bai's permission.

Having come once before, Xu Bai did not refuse this time.

He nodded and agreed readily.

The light ball flew into Xu Bai's eyebrows and quickly merged with Xu Bai.

Xu Bai felt that he seemed to have something extra.

It's unclear, the way is unclear.

Disguise, a treasure token, and the luck of the Chu Kingdom.

With these three things, Xu Bai felt that the possibilities were greatly improved and the safety was also greatly improved.

General Mu suddenly stood up, raised his hands, and bowed to Xu Bai.

This is a great gift and should not be used lightly.

What's more, the identity of the person in front of him is equivalent to one person below ten thousand people in the entire Chu Kingdom.

"Thank you very much." General Mu stood up and thanked him: "I don't want to see that old guy die after all these years."

Xu Bai nodded.

He doesn't want to either. These are the very few people in this world who treat him sincerely.

"Come here tomorrow morning, and I will take you to the place where you enter Yaogui City. You can go back and make arrangements tonight." Director Mu said: "If you are not the only one who can enter and leave Yaogui City, I will find someone to go there in person. ”

Xu Bai didn't want to stay any longer. He only had one night to go back to the palace to talk to Ye Zi.

At least there must be a reason, and it cannot disappear without any reason.

He walked very quickly, and after saying goodbye, he left the Star Reaching Tower and walked towards the palace.

General Mu stood by the window on the ninth floor, watching Xu Bai's leaving figure and clenching his fists.

…

At this moment, a burst of footsteps suddenly came from the surroundings, and then, the door on the ninth floor was pushed open.

General Mu turned around and saw the person coming. With a smile on his face, he slowly walked up to the person, then straightened his clothes and knelt down on the ground.

"Your Majesty, this humble minister is guilty. Please punish him."

Emperor Chu's face was serious, and he had a frightening aura.

"You promised me that you would never misappropriate any luck of the Chu Kingdom, but you did this today. Why?"

At this moment, Emperor Chu was no longer the indifferent person he was before, but had become a solemn emperor.

Just now, the Chu Kingdom's luck had dropped by one-tenth. He immediately knew what was going on and immediately ran to the Star-Zhaing Tower.

When he saw Xu Bai on the way, he also knew that Xu Bai had good luck, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he came to ask General Mu first.

"Wei Chen wants to save Eunuch Wei." Chief Mu did not stand up, but still knelt on the ground: "Xu Bai can enter the Monster City, he can save Eunuch Wei."

"But if it fails, he will die in the strange market." Emperor Chu's eyes were indifferent: "Then the luck will be completely gone. With one-tenth of the luck of the Chu Kingdom, what will happen to my people? I am not without love. , but it is even more difficult for the people to be in dire straits.”

"If this is the case, we will make up for it with a humble minister." Chief Mu said: "If he dies, Eunuch Wei will also die, but His Majesty's plan can still be completed."

"We can make up for the lost luck with Wei Chen's life. It's enough."

Emperor Chu's pupils shrank: "Is it worth it?"

Director Mu did not answer, and remained like this.

Emperor Chu said: "Get up and speak. You know that I am most annoyed by these red tapes."

Only then did General Mu get up from the ground.

He looked at the indifferent Emperor Chu and sighed for some reason.

Emperor Chu waved his sleeves and said: "You often say that I have changed. Indeed, when I sit in this position, I no longer think about individuals, just like just now."

"Eunuch Wei, if you die, I will unify the world and bring peace to the people of the world."

"But if you do this, if Xu Bai fails, although you can still gain peace for the people, you will also have to involve yourself. I will lose three people at once."

"If you fail, Eunuch Wei, Xu Bai, and you will all die."

"Is it worth it?"

General Mu lowered his head: "Wei Chen... I owe Eunuch Wei a favor back then. I have to repay it."

Emperor Chu took a deep breath, finally turned around, and prepared to leave.

"Your Majesty." Chief Mu said with a smile, "You are now as humane as before."

Emperor Chu's body stiffened: "This is the last time I will indulge you. If it fails, both you and Eunuch Wei will be gone, and the only person I can speak to in the future will be that stupid brother."

After saying this, Emperor Chu opened the door.

The moment the door closed, he said.

"Don't die."

…

Xu Bai returned to the palace.

When he arrived at his temporary residence, he asked Ye Zi to go back to Master Tianyin first.

After going there this time, I just found an excuse and returned to my residence.

Thinking about tomorrow's things, he was upset for a while. Now that there was no new progress bar to make him excited, he became more and more irritable.

"Xu Bai, Xu Bai, you always do things based on your own interests, but this time you really did something stupid."

As he walked, he chanted silently.

Although he has been complaining about himself, there is never a word that he does not do.

"Get some rest early, we have to go to Yaogui City tomorrow."

Sighing and seeing that it was already getting late, Xu Bai lay on the bed. Although he was tossing and turning, he was not in the mood to get up.

The oil lamp on the table was not blown out. He turned sideways and looked at the flame of the oil lamp.

At this time, a figure flashed past.

Xu Bai was stunned for a moment when he saw a box being thrown over, along with a sentence.

"The jade pendant I carry with me can trap half a stick of incense in the ninth rank of Saint."

"After this is accomplished, it doesn't matter even if you empty out my royal treasure house."

"Remember, don't die."

The figure just shook for a moment and then disappeared.

Xu Bai sat up silently, showing a look of understanding.

Sure enough, injecting luck into his body was still the luck of the Great Chu Kingdom. Of course Emperor Chu could feel it, but what Xu Bai didn't expect was that Emperor Chu actually agreed.

Opening the wooden box, there is a dragon-shaped jade pendant inside. The dragon is coiled up and is very beautifully carved.

Remembering what Emperor Chu said just now, he put the jade pendant into his arms.

This time, safety has been guaranteed again.

"I've got so many things, I feel like it's not enough if I don't go." Xu Bai said.

He would lie on the bed again, looking at the ceiling, and sleepiness gradually came over him...

…

The next day.

Xu Bai got up early and went to the Star Building, and happened to meet General Mu who was walking out of the Star Building.

The two met each other, but neither of them spoke and walked in silence.

He walked out of the Star Reaching Tower, walked into the palace, and finally walked to an extremely remote place.

Xu Bai wouldn't even know about this place if General Mu hadn't led him there.

General Mu pressed the button in a hidden location, and then activated the mechanism. The ground suddenly opened, revealing a staircase.

Xu Bai followed Chief Mu, and the two of them went down the stairs. After a while, they came to a long underground passage.

After walking along this passage for a long time, we arrived at a huge space.

In the center of the space is a circular pattern familiar to Xu Bai.

In fact, he really wanted to ask where this thing came from.

Director Mu is indeed a smart man, and he said directly: "I don't know either."

Xu Bai: "..."

General Mu continued.

"The bullshit formation that the demon clan called back then was actually based on these things. These things seemed to appear naturally."

"But those monsters, in order to lower our morale, claimed that they did it."

"Anyway, as soon as we find it, we will move it here. We have moved many of them. This is just one of them."

natural?

Although he said this, Xu Bai thought that it could never be that simple.

Just because until now, no one has discovered how it was formed.

"It's getting late." Director Mu just explained casually and said solemnly: "You only have half a month, you know?"

Xu Bai nodded.

In half a month, the barbarians will be dispatched, and Xu Bai certainly knows the urgency.

Chief Mu continued: "After entering, this knife will sense something and guide you to the location of the demon's heart. As for the rest, I don't know."

Under the guidance of General Mu, Xu Bai stood at the center of the pattern.

Throughout the whole process, neither of them talked nonsense.

When the light came on, Xu Bai felt dizzy, and then his figure disappeared in the center of the circular pattern.
