Chapter 1824 Self-inflicted sin
Emperor Xishi smiled bitterly and told the matter.
Only then did Su Hongshan realize that the leader was actually the one they worshipped in the palace more than a hundred years ago. Since then, he has provided a certain amount of masters to the Xishi Royal Family every year to protect the safety of the Xishi Royal Family.
It lasted until more than ten years ago and was still safe.
And the leader stayed safely in his palace, and did not interfere with the Western Shi royal family.
It was like he came to Xishi just to seek that peace.
"On weekdays, no one has ever been to his palace. All of us royal family were warned not to get close to that palace, and anyone who approached would disappear.
A prince disappeared once, and the first emperor did not ask for any guilt. Instead, no one dared to approach that palace since then."
"When I was a prince, I was very curious about that palace. Until I became emperor, I realized that there was a mysterious strong man living there, and he would provide experts for our Xishi every year."
"At the beginning, I thought it might be like this forever. Until that day, he suddenly appeared in the imperial study room and asked me if I wanted to grow up or if I wanted to annex the other Three Kingdoms. I agreed without thinking."
"As an emperor, no one does not want to expand their territory and unify the four countries."
Emperor Xishi said with a wry smile, but there was no pride of unifying the four countries on his face.
He wiped his face in depressingly and said:
"He began to provide us with experts in batches, and they were all top experts who could fight against ten or hundreds of them with one. I looked for people who were willing to become masters, because ten of those masters could succeed in two or three."
"It was my personal guard at the beginning. You know, anyone who practices martial arts yearns to become stronger. Everyone thinks that they can be one of the lucky two or three people. Even if they know they may die, they try it without hesitation.
Sure enough, there were only three people who came back. With the success of these three people, more people tried it. Later, after hearing about it, some ministers quietly asked for the one, and the one who came was unanimous and agreed.
Until now, all the masters of the entire Xishi Royal Family came from him, and even the family of officials were all masters from him.
In this case, the Xishi royal family had already died in name only, but he needed more and more people. I had to provide him with people, otherwise... Is there any need for me as an emperor to exist? It's just a puppet."
Emperor Xishi sat on the chair and was depressed.
When he saw Old Ye, his expression suddenly regained its glory. He sat up suddenly and said to Old Ye:
"Senior, only you can deal with him. As long as you kill him, I will immediately ask someone to withdraw my troops and guarantee that no war will be launched within twenty years."
Neither Ye nor Su Hongshan spoke.
They did not believe all the words of Emperor Xishi.
If Xishi really had such a leader, how could there be no news?
Nails are buried among all countries. If he really follows what he said, when the leader was mysterious at the beginning, it was possible that the nails of various countries were not noticed, but what happened later?
The ministers brought people to the door, how could the nails buried in the west stone in various countries have not yet noticed?
If I had noticed it early, I wouldn't have always felt that Xishi was a weak person who was biased towards a corner and wanted to protect himself and never participated in the wars of the other Three Kingdoms.
"I'm afraid those ministers secretly asked for the one that was fake, but it's true that you secretly asked someone to send it to that one." Su Hongshan suddenly spoke.
Emperor Xishi's eyes flashed, but he denied it:
"At that time, I already knew his evil intentions, so how could I provide him with someone again?"
"Because you haven't realized that the entire palace is no longer yours, you think they are just becoming stronger. If you want to unify the four countries, you need more strong people. If there are too many people in the palace at once, it will make other three countries suspicious.
So, you discuss with other ministers secretly and ask them to send their private troops to become stronger. Those ministers will not refuse such good things, and you hit it off.
At the same time, you continue to pull out people from the people to fill the gap in this part. On the surface, nothing seems to have happened, but in fact you have secretly raised a strong team of troops."
Su Hongshan's words made Emperor Xishi unable to deny. He looked at the woman with a face scarf in disbelief and suddenly said, "Who are you?"
Su Hongshan ignored his words, confirmed his guess, and directly asked the most important question: "What's that person's name?"
Emperor Xishi shook his head: "I don't know, no one of us knows what his name is. Everyone calls him Master Master. Once his name comes out of that palace, it is a taboo and cannot be mentioned."
"How old is he?" Su Hongshan asked again.
Emperor Xishi said without thinking: "The old man over the age of 70 has a white hair and a white beard, and looks very convincing..."
As he spoke, his voice suddenly stopped and he thought of something unbelievable.
He succeeded to the throne at the age of 20 and has been around for almost thirty years. He has changed from a young man to an old man, but that man still looks like when he first met.
He is still a white-haired and white-bearded person, but he has never changed for so many years.
"Is it really a god?" Emperor Xishi suddenly murmured.
If that were the case, Emperor Xishi shrank his neck in fear.
He didn't want to be regarded as a puppet, but if that immortal is really an immortal god, wouldn't his betrayal betrayal?
"Leng Zichang." Old Ye suddenly spoke.
Emperor Xishi looked at him in a daze: "Senior, what did you say?"
"I said, his name is Leng Zichang, a traitor from Wuxiangcheng, and he is not the god you call him." Old Ye said coldly.
Emperor Xishi widened his eyes in disbelief: "Impossible, he arrived in Xishi a hundred years ago, how could it be..."
Old Ye glanced at him and said lightly: "It just so happened that he escaped from Wuxiang City a hundred years ago."
"Then why does his appearance remain unchanged for so many years?" Emperor Xishi murmured.
Old Ye gave him a blank look in anger.
Su Hongshan said lightly: "The mystery of Wuxiangcheng is not something you can imagine."
She didn't say much, this could maintain the mystery of Wuxiang City to a great extent, giving people the illusion that Wuxiang City is a god.
Su Hongshan took out another painting and asked the last question: "Have you ever seen him?"
Emperor Xishi saw it and shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it before."
Su Hongshan saw that he was not lying, and her heart couldn't help but sink.
She has been to Xishi Capital for a few days and has learned a lot of news. The people Leng Mingyan brought did come to the capital, but soon after she came, she disappeared along with the people he brought.
She went to various pharmacies in Wuxiangcheng in Xishijing, but found that all the pharmacies in Wuxiangcheng were closed and there was no one inside.
It was as if I had all gotten some news and left early.
