sword sentient beings

Chapter 858 Conversion

The great lord.

Back then in Wangliang Mountain, this old guy fought against the two sword immortals, Huimo and Wangliang, and he did not lose. Although he retreated hastily under the intact Golden Crow Sword and lost the Mountain and River Stele, he escaped unscathed, which was much luckier than most of the turtle bandits who plotted against Wangliang.

Moreover, Tang Zhao had a feeling that although the Grand Chancellor looked old, his strength had not declined, but was even stronger than before. In the past, the Grand Chancellor had thousands of faces flowing through his body, sometimes male, sometimes female, sometimes ugly, sometimes handsome, like a monster. He could only force himself to keep one face in the sword hut, and once in battle, he would change his face uncontrollably. Now, he can easily keep his original appearance, which is proof that he has made progress.

  He remembered that the old man was seriously injured when he passed away. Even if he took a few years to recover, he might not be able to recover. How could he have made further progress? Could it be that this guy also broke through to that level after a battle?

Under the noses of the imperial court and Yunzhou, a sword immortal actually appeared?

In addition to this hall, although Tang Zhao guessed that he might have the same power of a sword immortal as the national teacher at that time, even if there were various restrictions on his actions, it could at least serve as an absolutely stable rear.

If this is true, then the turtle pirates can attack or defend, and they have the power of a sword immortal to support them. Even the emperor in the capital who has just mastered the power of the national teacher and is blessed by his ancestors will not be able to compete with them. At this time, the emperor has just taken back his power and has not been able to launch a large-scale attack. The previous riot in the capital has caused a lot of princes to disappear in the local area, resulting in a power vacuum. The crisis of world destruction has just passed, and the ban of the Sword Court has been slightly relaxed. It is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

  Thinking about it this way, perhaps their appearance in Yunzhou is just a prelude, and what they really want to do is to use this as a springboard to sweep the world!

Tang Zhao even wondered if Yunzhou’s appearance this time was just a smokescreen, and what they were really going to do was attack a more core and vital place, such as the capital?

But then he thought, the tricks are for others to see, and now no one knows that he is the audience, so what is the point of tricks? The Grand Chancellor appeared here, so it was natural that he should appear here, and his target should be Yunzhou, which was close at hand.

Tang Zhao couldn't see through the strategy of the turtle bandits for the time being, but since they had released their strength, at least they would launch an attack tomorrow and take over Yunzhou with the might of thunder. As for their strategy in the future, whether they would march into Beijing with a large army to regain the world, or occupy a corner and take their time, or if they had some other tricks, Tang Zhao couldn't guess...

  It doesn't make sense!

Tang Zhao didn't know what kind of chain of strategies the clever people among the turtle pirates had arranged for one, two, or a hundred steps. He only knew that the first step of the turtle pirates' strategy would be stuck, today, and no one could save them!

  Because Yunzhou is his hometown, his home, how could he allow turtles or tortoises to cause trouble?

Aren’t they just two sword immortals?

It's nothing special.

The Grand Chancellor looked kind and bowed like a loyal and respectful old minister, saying, "Your Majesty, everyone is ready. His Highness is outside too. Would you like to see him off?"

The emperor opened his eyes, but only halfway, his eyelids still drooping, unable to hide his weariness. He said, "The others are gone. If I meet the soldiers like this, it will only make them depressed, not really boost their morale. Please ask Huang'er to come in, I'll give him some instructions."

The Grand Chancellor agreed and consoled him, "Your Majesty has been on the throne for ten years, working hard to govern the country, rising early and sleeping late, supporting the Wei Dynasty. Even if you are tired, it is because of the hard work. When the soldiers see your Majesty's face, they will only be grateful and willing to die for your Majesty. How can they feel depressed?"

The emperor's mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "Why should I get up early and stay up late? I am clearly up and down, spending day and night in this palace. Alas, if I had known this would happen, I would have given it to my third brother."

The Grand Chancellor raised his voice slightly and said, "Your Majesty, how can you say such things at this time?" There was a hint of toughness in his tone, as if he was reprimanding from a superior position, and this gave him the aura of a "Grand Chancellor".

The emperor did not say anything, nor did he show any disgust. He seemed to be used to this. The Grand Chancellor continued, "Your Majesty has been sitting in the palace and maintaining the operation of the Taiji Palace for many years. This is actually the greatest merit in the world. No one can compare to you in preserving the country. I know that Your Majesty wants to do more for the ancestors and the world. Starting tomorrow, you can do it. To rule the world uprightly, isn't that what Your Majesty has always hoped for?"

The emperor hummed, and there seemed to be some expectation in his tone, but not much.

The Grand Chancellor noticed this and said, "I will invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and several other princes into the palace. Your Majesty can switch to Fengying Palace. If you can summon the generals who are going to the battle in Fengying Palace, it will surely boost the morale of the army."

The emperor's eyes lit up slightly, and he seemed to have really perked up a bit, and said, "Now?"

The Grand Chancellor nodded, then bowed and said, "I will take my leave."

After he left, the emperor sat up straight with a relaxed look on his face. It seemed that he was more excited than imagined, but he just couldn't show it in front of the Grand Chancellor.

He closed his eyes and pointed his hand toward the sky, as if pointing at a star, or simply at the sky.

"Conversion..." Tang Zhao had already grasped this key word by instinct and was thinking about what it meant. When he saw him pointing to the sky, he also looked up.

What he could see was the caisson in the hall, so magnificent, so delicate and complicated, with layers of sculptures and prints inlaid with gold powder, precious pigments and gems. Looking at these masterpieces may not be able to appreciate them calmly, but one can directly feel the amazing manpower, material resources and power condensed in them. This is the foundation of the declining imperial power. Just looking at a hall will make outsiders unable to underestimate this "court".

However, after taking a look, he suddenly found that the scene had changed, as if several huge wallpapers were stretching down from the top of his head. All the sculptures, paintings and even pillars were slowly changing, becoming completely another appearance, but still extremely prosperous.

He looked down and found that the palace had completely changed in the blink of an eye! It was not just the details of the decoration. It was a completely different palace.

First of all, the spatial shape of the palace has changed. Originally, the hall was square, extending in the four directions of east, west, south and north. Pillars were neatly arranged in the hall, supporting the towering beams. But now the hall has become round, like an altar, and there is not even a pillar in the hall.

Because it is a round hall, the area seems to be much smaller. It is no longer bottomless, but you can see the circular walls. The walls from the dome to the ground are divided into small grids. Lamps are placed in the small grids. Some lights are on, and some are off. There seems to be no pattern. In short, most lights are on, about six or four. The light of each lamp is only the size of a soybean, but from the sky to the ground, there are so many lights densely packed together, and there is still a sense of magnificence of thousands of lights and the vast starry sky.

The emperor still sat on the dragon throne and the osmanthus fragrans, but behind him was not just a screen with dragon carvings, but a high platform with bright candles shining brightly. In the middle was a huge incense burner, and on top of it were high tables with tablets. The tablets were very gorgeous, and it was not difficult to guess that they were the tablets left by people of very high status.

Anyone who is not blind can see that this is a completely different palace. However, the space has not changed, only the palace itself has changed.

Is this Fengying Palace? Can I change scenes with one click?

This ability is indeed interesting. Naturally, Tang Zhao understands that changing the location is definitely not just changing a place to continue sitting. These palaces must have their own uses. Just now, I heard from the Grand Chancellor that the function of Taiji Hall is to "protect the country", so what is the function of this temporary "Fengying Hall"?

Tang Zhao looked at the countless lights and thought that the key might be here.

At this time, the Grand Chancellor led three people into the hall. The three people were all dressed in luxurious clothes, with obvious "royal" characteristics. The one in the middle was the most expensive, so I guess he was the prince of Guikou. One of the others was obviously older, and seemed to be of the same generation as the emperor. He looked much more energetic than the emperor. The other one was the youngest, and looked very similar to the prince, probably his brother.

The three of them walked in and greeted each other. The emperor held out his hand and said, "My son, come here..."

The prince walked over, and the young man behind him raised his head slightly, but still could not catch up.

The Emperor of Wei held the Crown Prince's hand and said, "My son, do you have confidence in tomorrow's action? This is our first step to reappear in the sunlight. It is also your first time to appear in front of the world. You must be as powerful as thunder and lightning and as unstoppable as a bamboo. Can you do it well?"

The prince was a young man in his twenties. He looked up and said, "Of course, please trust me, father."

The Grand Chancellor frowned secretly, thinking that there was no need to ask this question. Asking this question would make the emperor seem to have no confidence.

The Emperor of Wei did not feel that he had said anything unnecessary. He grabbed the Crown Prince and said, "My son, you must win. If you fail, you will take my place. That would be tragic..."

"Cough!" Otsukasa coughed.

The Crown Prince also felt that the Emperor of Wei was a little unreasonable. He was at an age of high spirits. Even though he had heard that the Emperor of Wei had suffered, he had not experienced it himself and could not empathize with him. He said proudly, "Don't worry, father. With your son and the soldiers here, and the Grand Chancellor to escort us, this trip will surely be a success. By then, our Taiji Palace will surely be able to stand on the land of Shenzhou again!"

Emperor Wei said: "Okay, my son is ambitious, but he should also pay attention to casualties. Although Fengying Palace is here, it would be better if we can use it less often..."

At this time, someone came in hurriedly and said in a hurry: "Your Majesty, the contact person from Yunzhou came and said there was something wrong to report."

  Tang Zhao's face changed slightly, and he thought: Great, this is another old friend!
