Chapter 117 Something happened in the Southland Faced with such a question from the Emperor of Daxia, Fang Chen just smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't be angry. I only think about Daxia."
"You told me not to be angry?"
The Emperor of Daxia was extremely angry and laughed back: "Let's try it instead. I am the king of Daxia and the master of a country, but you have made it difficult for me to step down in front of all the civil and military officials.
Do you think I am in charge of this emperor, or are you?How about I give up this throne to you, and how about I retire to the countryside with your aunt and become rich! ? "
Fang Chen smiled and said, "I don't care about sitting in the emperor's seat. I worry about it every day, serving the country and the people, and my life may be short."
The Emperor of Daxia was choked for words.
He was silent for a while, "Fang Chen, tell me, what do you think? I want to give you court uniforms, but you don't want them. Do you think being an official in Daxia... has wronged you?"
"Five years ago, I might have been happy to share more burdens for the Holy Lord, and it would have been a pleasure to quarrel with the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, but it is different now.
I feel that even if I am not in the court, I can do something for Daxia. In this case, there is no need to do anything extra, so as to avoid those civil and military officials who are extremely jealous of me and think about how to impeach me all day long.
It's better now, they can focus more on people's livelihood. "
Fang Chen smiled lightly.
"Do you really think so?"
The Emperor of Daxia frowned slightly.
"Whether you believe it or not, Your Majesty, this is what I did."
Fang Chen smiled and said, "If there is nothing else, I will leave."
"Okay, you step back."
The Emperor of Daxia nodded slightly.
After Fang Chen left, an old eunuch, supported by several young eunuchs, slowly walked towards the imperial study. When Eunuch You saw the visitor, he quickly exclaimed and ran up: "Ancestor, why did you come out today?"
"I'm here to see the Holy One. You have nothing to do with me here. Please step back."
The old eunuch withdrew his arms from the young eunuch's arms, straightened his robes, and entered the royal study.
Eunuch You was secretly surprised.
This ancestor has stayed in the palace for many years and served three emperors. Now this is the third emperor. However, after the emperor ascended the throne, this ancestor has already retired. Counting his years, I'm afraid it's going to be over [-]...
"Perhaps when I heard that Da Xia had reached the eighth rank, even my ancestors were alarmed. This Duke Fang is really a monster. What Da Xia had not been able to accomplish for hundreds of years was actually accomplished in one day. It felt like a dream. "
Eunuch You murmured to himself.
Inside the imperial study.
"The old servant has seen the Holy Majesty."
The old eunuch bowed tremblingly.
The Emperor of Daxia glanced at him and said calmly: "Come on, I just asked Fang Chen. He doesn't seem to have any intention of seizing the throne. In his eyes, the Dragon Throne is more like a burden."
"Your Majesty, you must be on guard against others. Fang... the Duke is young and energetic after all. Compared with Fang Zhentian, he is more likely to do something outrageous."
said the old eunuch.
"That's why I want to see you today."
The Emperor of Daxia said in a deep voice: "When you first entered the palace, you served beside the ancestor of my Xia family when you were six years old. The ancestor did not like the mortal world and concentrated on seeking immortality. When he was 30 years old, he left a note and left. Haven't returned yet.
Let me ask you, has your ancestor set foot on the immortal path and become a monk? "
"Master is indeed a monk."
The old eunuch nodded slowly.
"Alas, pathetic!"
The Emperor of Daxia couldn't help but sneered: "My Xia family has a monk, but he doesn't leave any inheritance, and he doesn't care about Daxia. What do you think this is?
If the ancestor helps Daxia, before Fang Chen is born, Daxia will be able to reach the eighth rank, and even have a chance to reach the seventh rank! "
"Master once said that the path to immortality is full of dangers. If he takes action for Daxia, the enemy will inevitably know about this relationship, and Daxia... may be implicated.
In addition, the master also said that to cultivate immortality and escape the world of mortals, only by cutting off thoughts of the mortal world can one go further and further on this road.
Daxia has Daxia's destiny, and he doesn't need to care about it, and he can't care about it too much. "
The old eunuch whispered.
"So, my ancestor has indeed come back several times over the years, but he has only met you alone, and he doesn't even hesitate to meet us relatives?" Emperor Daxia said calmly.
The old eunuch lowered his head and said nothing.
"It's different now than before. There are monks in the Fang Mansion. That Fang Chen... is probably a monk. A warrior can override the imperial power, let alone a monk?"
The Emperor of Daxia said in a deep voice: "I know you have a way to contact the ancestor. I hope you can tell the ancestor that the imperial power of Daxia is no longer stable. I hope the ancestor can come back to take charge."
"Old slave... obey your orders."
The old eunuch nodded slowly, then stood up to say goodbye, and left the imperial study tremblingly.
……
……
In the next few days, news of Daxia's promotion to the eighth rank spread like wildfire, with Kyoto as the center and radiating to all counties.
This news excited the people of Daxia. Even the funeral of the third prince was downplayed. Compared with the death of a prince in Daxia, they were even more happy that Daxia had become an eighth-grade kingdom! The talisman-making spiritual materials that Li Daoye obtained from Longjifang were almost digested by Fang Chen in a few days, and he once again had a batch of talismans in his hands.
Except for keeping some for himself, these talismans were sent to the hands of the major hidden guards by Xu Ge.
"Prince Fang, don't you keep these purple lightning talismans yourself? The power they can exert in your hands will be even more terrifying."
Mr. Li Daoye was puzzled.
"I am always just one person. If anything happens, I can't beat four hands with two fists. I have to prepare early. If Master Qinghe can't invite anyone, then we will have to face the Blood Spirit Sect's foundation building on our own. ”
Fang Chen smiled.
Mr. Li Daoye took a deep breath, with a look of fear in his eyes: "Prince Fang, are you not sure?"
"No."
Fang Chen nodded honestly, "I'm not sure whether we let Master Qinghe's master take action, or whether we have to deal with the Blood Spirit Sect's foundation building."
"Dry!"
Mr. Li Dao couldn't help but curse secretly. He originally thought that Fang Chen had exposed the existence of the Purple Lightning Talisman this time because he was already confident about the matter.
Who would have thought that Fang Chen would express that he was not sure at all?
"Foundation Establishment... Their methods are unimaginable. How can a few Qi Refining monks fight against Foundation Establishment?"
Mr. Li Dao murmured to himself.
Then his eyes lit up: "Perhaps the foundation builders of the Blood Spirit Religion cannot detect this. After all, in their eyes, Daxia is just a small Danwan country!"
"They have already refined six blood spirit elixirs in Daxia. I am afraid that Daxia will register with them early."
Fang Chen smiled and shook his head.
"It's better to...escape! Prince Fang, a gentleman would not stand behind a dangerous wall! We will come back when you are promoted to Foundation Establishment! Today's Daxia is a burden to you, and it does not produce spiritual stones, so it is nothing." Cave Heaven Paradise... Take your family and follow me to the Fire Nation!"
Li Daoye suggested.
"I believe that whether practicing martial arts or cultivating immortality is to make a weak country stronger, not to get rid of it."
Fang Chen smiled lightly.
Mr. Li Daoye was speechless. How could a person who cultivates immortality still have such a mortal heart? This is so rare! "Your Majesty, Yuan Zhuang wants to see you!"
Xu Ge hurriedly came to report.
"Yuan Zhuang? Are they back from the Southland?"
Fang Chen's expression changed.
"problem occurs."
Xu Ge said softly.
Fang Chen nodded slightly, "Bring him here."
Yuan Zhuang was covered in blood and had countless wounds, big and small. Some had scabs and some seemed to be new wounds. It was obvious that he came to Fang Mansion as soon as he arrived in Kyoto.
"The prince is in trouble. Jianghu sects in the south have surrounded Xuandao Sect. Jue Qianhu and others are also besieged in Xuandao Sect."
Yuan Zhuang looked anxious.
