wicked immortal

The war at the Rolling Stone Barracks has been over for several days, but the majestic city walls are full of traces of war, and the huge wall bricks are incomplete. On the wilderness outside the city, there are some destroyed fortifications and broken armor all over the mountains and plains. , In one place, a raging fire was burning, it should be burning corpses, and there was a scorched and disgusting smell in the air.

Zhao Yuan could guess how tragic the battle in the Rolling Stone Barracks was just by glancing at it.

Five hundred heavy armor soldiers.

Forty super warriors.

Fifty thousand almost ** infantry.

With such a force, without the assistance of any heavy equipment, it is conceivable how heavy the price was to conquer a majestic and impregnable city wall.

In just over a year, Guo Futou's original simple and honest face became a little more stable and mature, and his strong body in armor gave people an inexplicable trust.

Obviously, Guo Futou has not had an easy life in the past year or so.

Under the gaze of thousands of reverent eyes from the Rolling Stone Barracks, Zhao Yuan was welcomed into the city gate.

All the soldiers in the Rolling Stone Barracks knew that although Zhao Yuan and Guo Futou were not blood brothers, they had a brotherly bond. As the saying goes, they love the house and the black, and the Rolling Stone Barracks all regarded Zhao Yuan as their own. The momentum is already at the peak of the sky, and it is the idol of all soldiers.

Without any formality, Guo Futou brought Zhao Yuan to the secret room, which also included Yang Cheng, Lu Feng, Xiao Mazi and others.

Looking at the tacit understanding between Guo Futou and Yang Cheng, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but nodded secretly. He never thought that Guo Futou would be so close to them.

In fact, Zhao Yuan didn't know that the military of the Great Qin Empire had been divided into many factions except General Chang Kong, and he represented a new force with no background.

Zhao Yuan is the representative of the faction, mainly a group of generals who were promoted when they fought against the Assassins. These people all regard Zhao Yuan as their spiritual leader. Consciously or unconsciously, they usually take care of each other and get very close .

After retreating from the defeat of the Great Qin Empire to Heishui City, Zhao Yuan's faction has already gained a pivotal position in the military. Among them, besides Guo Futou, Yang Cheng, Lufeng, Xiao Mazi and Mad Taoist, all became the only ones in charge. Generals, even the Sledgehammer God, have to give enough face.

Guo Futou was able to lead [-] cavalry to attack the Rolling Stone Barracks without any authorization, and his influence can be seen...

……

Inside the secret room, the lights were bright.

Everyone sat down one by one.

"Zhao Yuan, I have added more than 15 soldiers and horses in the Rolling Stone Barracks. Brothers can mobilize about [-] soldiers and horses in Heishui City, plus [-] assassin cavalry. As long as you rise up, followers will gather immediately. ..." Guo Futou's leopard eyes shot out with fanaticism.

"You want to be emperor?" Zhao Yuan looked at Guo Futou indifferently.

"Ah... no no... it's not me..." Guo Futou's face suddenly turned blood red, and he shook his head again and again: "I mean you..."

"How do you know that I want to be emperor?" Zhao Yuan remained calm.

"..."

Guo Futou opened his mouth wide and looked at Zhao Yuan in astonishment. Zhao Yuan's words and calm expression seemed like a basin of cold water was poured on his head.

"General, the right time, place and people are right now, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity..." Yang Cheng tried to persuade Zhao Yuan.

"Yes, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Zhao Yuan nodded.

"Yes, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Seeing Zhao Yuan nodding, everyone was overjoyed.

"The question is, what good is being an emperor?" Zhao Yuan sighed.

"what……"

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to answer this question.

"...became the emperor, the whole world is yours..." Guo Ax racked his brains for a long while, and then said to Ai Ai.

"It's true that the whole world belongs to you, but governing the country is not such a fun thing. You have to hold on to power, learn to intrigue at all times, and be careful if you lose. Few people in court politics are normal Yes, eunuchs, queen mothers, queens, and princes are always around you, but if you are the kind of manipulative person, it is better to mix it up. Some nomads around you are always thinking of attacking, and you have to take on the responsibility of the leader. "

Zhao Yuan took a sip of tea and paused.

"If you say that being an emperor can do whatever you want, eating, drinking, having fun with women, spending money like water, and killing whoever you want, you are indeed happy in life, but you will be infamous after death. Unless you don't care, this is actually not much different from being a rich man. Being a rich man doesn’t have to worry about a coup d’état resulting in your own life, it’s safer to have fun, and your sense of happiness may be higher.”

"If you want to be a wise king, you can't do whatever you want, you have to restrain yourself, and sometimes you have to be aggrieved in order to achieve great achievements, but what about great achievements? Isn't it a handful of loess after death? The only thing that can be expected is that your achievements will be passed down through the ages, but the way to pass the praises on is not the only way of being an emperor. Noble morals, writing books, and cultivating the truth can all be passed down through the ages. Isn’t it the same way? What’s the point of being an emperor? What's special?"

"..."

Everyone glanced at each other and fell silent for a while.

"If everyone thinks highly of me, Zhao Yuan, and wants to live a luxurious and happy life with Zhao Yuan, I, Zhao Yuan, can realize your dreams at any time. Now that the war is in turmoil, with a little investment, you can live a lifetime without worry, and you can also buy Countless fortunes. It would be even better if everyone wants to go down in history with my original name of Zhao, that’s even better. Now that the war is raging, everyone just needs to fight the enemy bravely and sacrifice their lives for righteousness. The history books will record your great achievements, and the descendants of Fuyin will not be a problem. "

"If you feel that being a rich man and being famous in history is not enough, okay, let me practice with Zhao Yuan, and I will show you the magic of the world of cultivation. As long as you work hard, even if you can't become a fairy, you can live for hundreds of years without any problem... "

"But……"

"Hehe, I know, you are soldiers. Soldiers, you just want to fight to the death of horse leather shrouds on the battlefield. That's no problem. What kind of shit? Since the Heavenly Kingdom Crusaders have bullied us on the territory of our Great Qin Empire, then I will beat them back and kill them." Annexed, let them bow their heads and surrender..."

……

Everyone was silent for a while.

Of course, Zhao Yuan didn't convince them, but they didn't know how to refute.

"Zhao Yuan, I just don't want to!"

Guo Futou looked aggrieved.

Zhao Yuan didn't know the grievances Guo Futou had suffered this year, because Guo Futou was the main combat faction from the beginning to the end. When he was in the imperial capital, Guo Futou was squeezed out and suppressed by civil and military officials, and was even deprived of his military power for a time. , Later, the imperial capital was broken, and he fled all the way, lacking generals, so Guo Futou was reinstated as an official.

For more than a year, Guo Futou endured the humiliation and suffered all kinds of supercilious glances, which made him completely see through the corruption of the Great Qin Empire. It is precisely because of this reason that the loyal, honest and reticent Guo Futou has a heart of betrayal .

Of course, Guo Futou was not the first to raise the heart of betrayal. It was Yang Cheng and his group who wanted to rebel, because Yang Cheng and his group were transferred to the imperial capital at first, and they were reused at the beginning. He was squeezed out by the children of some aristocratic families, and one by one they arranged to be idle one after another, making a group of passionate men want to die.

The experience of the imperial capital made everyone understand that no matter how many immortal feats they have made, among those royal family and nobles, they are all low-level characters. Sometimes, they will be made to perform in front of hundreds of princes and young masters. The art of riding and shooting is no different from that of a clown.

In the Great Qin Empire, the eunuchs were really in charge of the government. Especially when the first emperor died, the government was in chaos. Even the powerful General Chang Kong was often impeached by some treacherous people. The suppression is evident.

This Crusade invasion completely exposed the corruption of the Great Qin Empire, which also completely disappointed many conscientious military generals, especially a group of new generation generals who sacrificed their lives for righteousness, and began to have the heart of rebellion...

……

"Unwilling..." Zhao Yuan was taken aback, and said, "Axe, although I don't know what wronged you, but above the court, that's how it is, and this is why I never wanted to be an official."

"Zhao Yuan, you can change it."

"Well, I believe I can change, but what about my descendants? Do you want my descendants to be overthrown? A dynasty cannot exist forever. In Zhanyun Continent, the Great Qin Empire is not the first country. Nor the last country...unless..."

Zhao Yuan stopped suddenly and stood up abruptly.

"Unless what?"

Seeing the excitement on Zhao Yuan's face, Guo Futou and the generals showed a hint of puzzlement.

"I have a solution!" Zhao Yuan laughed loudly.

"What way?" Guo Ax asked curiously.

"We can raise the emperor!" Zhao Yuan clenched his fists tightly, his long hair was windless, and his eyes were extremely deep, like the vast starry sky.

At this moment, Zhao Yuan wished he could scream up to the sky and let out his inner joy, because he just remembered the political system of Britain on earth. If the British system was cloned into the Great Qin Empire, then there would be no need to worry about the safety of the little emperor, and all Social conflicts will also be resolved.

"Raise the emperor? Aren't we raising the emperor now?"

"No, it's not the same. What I'm talking about is raising the emperor as a symbolic existence. He can represent the dignity of a country, but he doesn't need to manage the country. It's called a constitutional monarchy..."

"The emperor doesn't care about the country, who cares?"

Everyone naturally doesn't understand the set of political ideas on Earth, and they are all confused.

"Hehe, it's hard to make it clear for a while. Anyway, we have plenty of time, and we will gradually figure it out in the future."

"Oh……"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to do. However, everyone had realized that Zhao Yuan had already made a decision, and it was useless to talk more.
