Chapter 0286 The Mysterious Shadow!
“Longevity Religion? I didn’t think of this. However, the capital’s king, Longevity Religion is the foundation of the prairie people’s faith. How are they willing to dissolve Longevity Religion? Furthermore, Longevity Religion itself is impossible to agree to. What should the empire do about it?” Zhu Li frowned.
When the ministers in the hall heard the Longevity Religion, they were all discussing and their expressions were excited. Just now, they were only thinking about Khan’s surrender on the grassland, but they did not expect that there was actually an even more powerful enemy on the grassland.
Longevity Religion!
There were countless experts amongst them. Every time they fought against the grassland people, they were almost always initiated by the Longevity Religion. It could be said that the Longevity Religion’s people were the masterminds of the people on the grassland. Compared to the Longevity Religion, Khan’s influence was probably incomparable.
“This is troublesome, but we will live forever. The grasslands are unstable! His Majesty will definitely not want a tiger to occupy his bed, so there is only one problem between us and the Khan messenger!” Qin Fei smiled.
“Yes, the capital king is right. The fierce tiger is by the side. Even if Khan surrenders, I’m afraid that greedy tiger will not accept it!” Zhu Li nodded.
Things were decided like this. The civil and military officials who were quarreling in the hall were completely silent. The fierce tigers had not been removed yet. In fact, Khan’s sheep was killed or raised, and it was not up to the hunters to count.
Soon after, Khan sent an envoy to the palace to meet the Emperor. Zhu Li also asked directly, “Khan is willing to serve. I wonder what the Longevity Sect means?”
The messenger was a typical prairie man, About forty years old, The skin on his face was dark, ‘”Your Majesty, the Longevity Cult has yet to learn of your surrender. Khan is hoping that His Majesty can lend troops to help Khan take down the Longevity Cult. From now on, no one on the grasslands will affect Khan’s decision!” Khan bowed respectfully when he heard the Emperor’s question.
“Oh? You Khan have a good idea! Lend me your troops and get rid of the Prairie Tiger, then will Khan become the wolf behind the tiger?” Zhu Li sneered.
“Your majesty, khan loyal to heaven and earth can learn! You are loyal to His Majesty and have no second thoughts! “However, because the old and new Khan are alternating on the grasslands, if Khan were to send people to deal with the Longevity Religion, it would probably cause a backlash among the people. That’s why Khan thought hard and finally felt that he was qualified to do so. Khan had already made a detailed plan, and he would definitely succeed if he worked together inside and outside!” The messenger said politely.
“What a joke! If I help him eradicate the Longevity Sect, won’t the people of the grasslands hate me? When the time comes, why should I surrender? Will the people not object?” Zhu Li sneered, his eyes like lightning, like a proud dragon, coldly staring at his lowly subjects.
‘”Your Majesty, this is the only condition for Khan. The Longevity Religion cannot be eliminated, and Khan cannot do anything about it. Moreover, there is no consensus among the various tribes. Khan is working hard on their ideological work. Some tribes are very radical, shouting for him to cross the Longevity Valley. Khan has always been loyal to His Majesty and hopes for His Majesty’s grace!” The messenger’s eyes lit up and his voice suddenly rose.
“Impudent!” Zhu Li was furious. He leaned against his chair and flew into a rage. Long Wei was furious. In an instant, hundreds of Imperial City soldiers surged out of the hall. Their murderous aura surged, and a murderous aura swept out like an autumn wind, fiercely pressing down on the messenger like a ferocious flood.
The messenger hurriedly knelt down, but his expression did not show the slightest bit of fear. He stared fixedly at the Emperor and said, “Your Majesty, please calm down. I hope Your Majesty will find out about the Khan’s calamity! If you can’t get rid of the Longevity Sect, the matter of surrendering is far away!”
“Retreat!” Zhu Li stared at the messenger for a long time and ordered the Imperial City Army to retreat. He looked at Qin Fei and said, “Lord Zhendu, do you have an idea?”
Qin Fei stood up and pondered for a while. Suddenly, he said, “Your Majesty, I feel that this matter is big or small. Khan’s surrender is related to the stability of the border. Otherwise, there will be endless troubles in the future. The empire has no choice but to make its own choice! The Longevity Sect is the pillar of the prairie people’s hearts, and it is always a great disaster in the Central Plains!”
“Take him down and guard him closely. Everyone else, disperse!” Zhu Li saw Qin Fei hesitate and his eyes lit up. He ordered Qin Fei to retreat and then called Qin Fei into the study room of the side hall.
“Brother Fei, do you seem to believe him?” Zhu Li looked at Qin Fei as if he wanted to see through his thoughts.
Qin Fei smiled and said, “Brother Li actually believes me, right?”
“Believe it! The new Khan on the grassland will not make the wrong choice! Because the letter of surrender is with me. Once I discover that he has dissent, this letter of surrender will be his death hole. The tribes on the grassland will not believe him, and the Longevity Religion will not tolerate him in the slightest!” Zhu Li knocked on the table and made a thud. His expression became somewhat solemn.
“The grasslands are not calm. The Longevity Religion and Khan have always been opposed. They grow on top of Khan’s head like a sharp sword. These generations of Khan have long had the desire to resist. These are no longer secrets in the empire. All-out competition had always been cruel and indifferent. The empire was like this, and the Grassland Khan was no exception! We already know all of this! However, I have been unable to make up my mind how to deal with the Longevity Sect this time. Once word of it leaks out or fails, the Longevity Sect will surely counterattack. Khan will not be able to suppress all the grassland people. At that time, it will definitely be a national war! “What a headache!”
Zhu Li’s usually steady expression revealed deep concern.
Qin Fei nodded. He didn’t have the slightest bit of knowledge about leading troops to battle. He couldn’t help Zhu Li with this trouble.
“Brother Fei, I have a feeling that this new Khan seems to be a little strange. Why did he immediately want to surrender to me the moment he became a Khan?” Zhu Li suddenly stared at Qin Fei with an extremely serious expression.
Qin Fei looked into his eyes like a wolf king. His eyes were filled with the light of knowing the Wheel of Destiny. His heart couldn’t help but thump. Could it be that Zhu Li already knew that Xin Khan’s face had turned fierce and had countless connections with him?
He calmed down and smiled faintly, “Brother Li, you have to wait for Khan to ask this in person. I don’t know!”
‘”Haha …” That’s right, this person’s thoughts are really unrestrained, giving me a big surprise. Fei Di, I still have some political matters to deal with, you can go back first! ” Zhu Li withdrew his gaze with a smile and his expression returned to normal.
Qin Fei walked out nervously, his eyes filled with doubt. Did Zhu Li discover something?
Seeing Qin Fei’s figure disappear into the distance, Zhu Li suddenly sighed with a lonely expression. He sat back on the chair and gently brushed his smooth forehead. His slender fingers lightly tapped on the table a few times. His sword brows furrowed slightly, and helplessness appeared in his eyes.
“How’s the investigation going?” He suddenly faced the empty side hall and muttered to himself.
Swoosh!
As his voice fell, a black shadow pierced through the void and appeared in the hall. This black shadow did not emit a trace of profound energy. Standing in the hall, it felt extremely ethereal and difficult to find. Even if his eyes saw him, they would still feel as if they were dreaming. It felt so unreal.
And as he appeared, Within a radius of ten feet around him, space distorted. It was like countless layers of gauze, illusory and shadowless. At first glance, one would feel that he was here, fusing with the heavens and earth. However, when one looked at him a second time, one would feel that he was actually not standing there, and there was a distance between them that would never be touched.
His entire body was shrouded in a pitch-black robe. He was unable to distinguish between men and women, nor could he distinguish his appearance. Only the pair of eyes revealed in the black scarf occasionally shot out two cold rays, causing the air to be filled with an indifferent aura.
After he appeared, he bowed slightly to Zhu Li, which could be considered a salute. If someone with deep knowledge of etiquette were here, the Imperial Court Master would accuse him of not knowing etiquette, which was a great disrespect to His Majesty the noble Emperor.
However, Zhu Li didn’t take it to heart. There wasn’t a trace of displeasure in his eyes, as if he was used to it.
“Your Majesty! Find out.” The black silhouette replied, his voice deep and slow, unable to discern the slightest bit of emotion.
Zhu Li’s face became more and more serious. After a long time, he sighed deeply and waved his hand. His expression was filled with helplessness, “Continue investigating. I want to know everything about him!”
‘”Whoosh” The black shadow nodded and moved slightly. The illusory feeling disappeared in an instant. His entire body disappeared from the hall without a trace of aura fluctuation, as if he had never appeared before …
