Chapter 730: Life and Death
Emperor Tianlu looked at Fang Farewell as if he were looking at a dead person.
"Since I came to the throne, no one has ever dared to speak to me like this."
The ball is back in His Majesty's hands.
Who dares to make a deal with the emperor himself?
But at this time, Fang Bi was putting his own life and the 200,000 Japanese army on the balance, letting Emperor Tianlu choose which side.
This is almost a no-brainer.
But it was precisely because of this that Emperor Tianlu felt slightly angry.
"So shouldn't your Majesty be happy?" Fang Bie said calmly.
"After all, I just want to live."
"If you want to live, why don't you kneel in front of me and beg?" Emperor Tianlu looked at Fang Farewell and said coldly.
"If begging for mercy is useful, then I'm afraid no one can be killed by your majesty." Fang Bie shook his head and said: "It is very uncomfortable to place one's life on the mercy of others, so I will not put myself in such a situation. Under the circumstances."
"What you said makes sense." Emperor Tianlu nodded subtly: "So is this your plan?"
"What plan? I don't quite understand what Your Majesty said." Fang Don't smile.
Emperor Tianlu can be said to be the most intelligent person in the world. It is even said that Emperor Tianlu's problem is that he is too smart, but instinctively does not trust anyone.
Intelligence and suspicion are actually two sides of the same coin.
"You want Yu'er to return to Yanjing with a true identity, right?" Emperor Tianlu looked at Fang Bie and asked.
Of course Yu'er is Yan Yu.
Although it has never been made public, in fact, Yan Yu is the granddaughter of Emperor Tianlu, that is, Her Royal Highness the Princess with royal blood.
Of course, in principle, she can be called Her Royal Highness, but in practice, she has no status.
"Yes." Fang Bie nodded: "I must admit that Her Highness Yan Yu is my first allegiance." "
In other words, all hive members should be loyal to her."
"Theoretically, this is the case. But in fact, most of the Beehive now belongs to Qin, while the other part is controlled by Xue Ling." Emperor Tianlu looked at Fang Bie and said quietly: "Even if Yu'er can return to the Beehive, she will It's hard to become a queen bee again."
To be precise, Yan Yu's current status is probably in a state similar to that of a deposed emperor.
Or rather deposed.
"Yes, the queen bee of the hive now is Xue Ling, and Xue Ling, by virtue of being Xue Ping's daughter, can indeed win over a large part of Xue Ping's old men." Fang Bie looked at Emperor Tianlu: "Also, Your Majesty has something I still want to ask about it."
"What's the matter?" Emperor Tianlu asked.
"But it is something that should not be asked, because this matter itself is a taboo." Fang Bie looked at Emperor Tianlu and said softly: "Where is Master Xue Ping? Is he really dead? Or is he? Are you saying that you are imprisoned in a certain place and there is no way out?"
Emperor Tianlu looked at Fang Bi, and finally grinned and let out a sharp laugh.
"Since you know this is a question you shouldn't ask, why do you still ask it?" Emperor Tianlu asked.
The emperor's voice was as cold as spring ice.
"Because you are the only one in the world who can give me this answer." Fang Bie said calmly: "Curiosity is what kills cats." "
Then I can only say that I have no comment." Emperor Tianlu refused to answer Fang Bie's question.
Fang Bie smiled and did not continue.
All questions are asked step by step. It would be very inappropriate for Fang Bi to ask this question about Xue Ping when they just met. However, after the two parties have exchanged several rounds of information, such questions do not seem so sharp. .
Especially after Emperor Tianlu had made a decision in his own mind, and under the premise that Fang Bie would not die, this question should be asked.
"In this case, today's meeting can be over. I have a hunch that we will meet His Majesty again next, but at that time, I am afraid that when we meet, His Majesty will kill me." Fang Bieqing said.
"Why didn't you say that you would try to kill me the next time we meet?" Emperor Tianlu looked at Fang Bie and said slowly.
Indeed, Emperor Tianlu would no longer kill Fang Bie here.
Not only would he not kill him, he would also give Fang Bie some protection so that the young man could return to Goryeo and carry out his plan.
Emperor Tianlu believed that what Fang Bi said was true.
Even if he didn't know all the details of Fang Bie's plan, it was almost absolutely true that he could use the help of Zhou Dynasty to destroy Japan's 200,000-strong army.
"I'm not sure. Besides, I also believe in the existence of destiny." Fang Bie said with a smile.
The so-called destiny means to receive orders from heaven and live forever.
All emperors have destiny when they succeed to the throne. If their merits are shallow, they will die and the country will be destroyed. But if their merits are deep, they will die in peace.
For every emperor, they are willing to hear such words.
Because I am the emperor.
I am the father of all people in the world.
Saying this, don't turn around and walk out of the corridor.
The young man has met the people he wants to see and asked the questions he wants to ask. Since staying here has no meaning and may even increase the risk, Fang Bu will choose to leave immediately.
Emperor Tianlu did not persuade him to stay.
He just watched Fang Bing's back disappear, turned around, and sat back in that seat again.
The old man stretched his body and almost completely lay down on the large seat.
It seemed like a long time passed.
When there was no movement in the entire hall, Emperor Tianlu finally spoke slowly.
"What do you think?"
Yes.
There has always been a third person in this hall.
But if he doesn't want people to know, even if he is stronger than Fang Bi, there is no way to detect his existence.
This is actually the reason why Emperor Tianlu chose to meet Fang Bing here.
Because he didn't want that person to leave here, but he really wanted him to participate in this meeting.
So this choice is the best and only choice.
"I don't have eyes to see." Xue Ping's deep voice came from the wall: "But I still have a pair of ears." "Then tell me what you heard." Emperor
Tianlu Looking at the wall in front of him, he said calmly.
"I heard that His Majesty wanted to kill Fang Bie at least three times, but Fang Bie never had any murderous intention towards His Majesty." Xue Ping said in the wall.
Emperor Tianlu couldn't help but laugh.
"Yes."
"The first time was when he rejected my proposal." "
The second time was when he planned to use the 200,000 troops as a bargaining chip for the deal." "The
third time was when he proposed It's your time."
With this said, Emperor Tianlu looked at the wall: "Let me ask a question, that is, if you make a sound at that time, with the strength of the two of you, are you sure you can escape from here?"
Xue Ping smiled bitterly in the wall: "Your Majesty, please don't ridicule me. Now I am far from the strength I was at my peak. There is no way I can pose any threat to Your Majesty." "At least, even if Fang Bu mentions it in person
. I still haven't heard anything about Xue Ling and my name. This is a way to prove my innocence."
Emperor Tianlu looked at the wall where Xue Ping was hiding: "Now that you have fallen into such a situation, you have to prove your innocence. What's the point of being innocent?"
"Of course it does." Xue Ping said calmly: "Now I can no longer live in this world as Xue Ping, because His Majesty never makes mistakes." "But even so, Your
Majesty If you really lock me here for decades until I die of old age, of course I would like to thank Your Majesty for sparing my life because of our old friendship, but I still prefer to see the sunshine outside." "It's just that I know
. , If I really see the sun one day, then it will probably be the time when I really want to die."
Xue Ping talked about his life and death without any emotion.
It seemed like he was talking about something very ordinary.
"So you want to come out?" Emperor Tianlu asked calmly while sitting on the chair.
"Of course I do, but the person that Your Majesty is most afraid of in this world is me." Xue Ping sighed: "No matter how I prove my loyalty to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will always be afraid of me." "Really?
" Emperor Lu couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If you hadn't betrayed me first, how could I have used such thunderous means?" "
Just now, Fang Bie was still hinting to me that such a big mess in the hive originated from Your loss of position."
"But at the same time, even if you have lost all contact with the outside world, the secrets you laid out before are still playing their role. Even I don't know that among Jin Yiwei and Dongchang, How many of you are still loyal to you?"
Emperor Tianlu looked at the wall and said in a deep voice: "I have absolute reasons to kill you."
"But I am your majesty's last friend." Xue Ping said on the wall Zhong smiled bitterly and said: "Although it is really unfriendly to meet friends in this way, I still want to thank Your Majesty for giving me the opportunity to talk to you." "All
friends in this world are just of different levels. It's just an exchange of benefits." Emperor Tianlu said in a deep voice: "I will spare your life just because you are of little use to me."
Xue Ping said nothing.
At this time, if he does not have the sense to say that his little use is not worth living in this world.
Then Emperor Tianlu can really expel himself from this world.
At least for now, Xue Ping is still very interested in living a little longer in this world even if he is barely alive.
Because during his dark days, some very interesting things suddenly appeared.
After a brief silence, Xue Ping said calmly: "Thank you for your kindness and reason." "
It's as if your Majesty has spared Fang Bing's life now."
"Then what suggestions do you have next?" Emperor Tianlu asked.
"Just proceed as planned." Xue Ping said softly.
"Get ready for Ding Kuyu to enter the capital."
... Fang Bie had already passed through the long and deep
underground
tunnel and reappeared in the sunshine.
But the first moment he walked out of the secret passage, several figures appeared beside him.
These figures are all wearing long black and gray clothes, like some kind of ghostly shadow. Under the mask, only black eyes are watching coldly as they walk out of the secret passage.
"Do you need to be so enthusiastic?" Fang Bie smiled and continued to walk forward as if no one else was watching. When he took the first step, a bright sword light appeared in front of his eyes.
Fang Bie did not dodge at all. The sword light changed direction in the air and finally slid into the distant sky.
"How brave." The opponent said coldly from the side after emptying his sword.
"After all, you didn't receive an order to kill me." Fang Bie smiled and said, "It must be very important for Your Majesty to see me." "
So, where is No. 3? Let him take me out. , After all, this is the palace, you definitely don’t want me to run around."
The young man said confidently.
With Fang Bie's level of danger, it would be really scary to let him run around in the palace, so the most reasonable way is to take Fang Bie out whoever brought Fang Bie in.
Of course, because the terrain of the palace is not familiar to all directions, even if you can fly over the walls and walk into an uninhabited land, if someone sees it, the impact will be too bad.
In other words, this group of secret guards represented by No. 3 are specifically designed to prevent this situation from happening.
Therefore, facing such an arrogant Fang Bie, they could only use this intimidation method to give Fang Bie a blow since they had not received the killing order.
But I never expected that Fang Bu would be so confident.
So in the end No. 3 walked out of the shadows: "Then let's go."
The two people shuttled through the darkness of the imperial city again, but this time the route was completely different from the last time. It seemed that No. 3 was also deliberately To avoid Fang Bie, he could remember the way into the palace, but despite this, part of the secret passage in the imperial city had been exposed to Fang Bie. If it hadn't been for Emperor Tianlu's personal order, they would not have brought Fang Bie to the entrance of the secret passage.
Of course - the purpose of luring people away from entering the secret passage is to better deal with this dangerous element.
But Fang Bi's ability to come out of the secret passage unharmed was beyond the expectations of many of them.
They gathered here to surround and suppress the escaped teenagers.
But now, all he could do was watch Fang Bian leave.
"I'm really unwilling." Someone said lightly.
"It's enough for us to follow His Majesty's will." The person next to him replied softly.
Immediately, these shadows that appeared in the sunlight disappeared under the sunlight.
Outside the imperial city, Fang Bie saw Guo Juxia standing there like an iron tower from a distance.
"I think I'm here." Fang Bie turned back to No. 3 and said.
"Then my mission is completed." No. 3 said coldly.
With that said, he was ready to leave.
"Aren't you going to ask why His Majesty summoned me?" Fang Bie couldn't help but ask.
No. 3 did not answer and disappeared from Fang Bing's sight.
Fang didn't look back and stretched out his hand to say hello to Guo Juxia: "Look, I'm back."
The young man smiled.
It seemed like he had done something mundane and unremarkable.
