Volume Four Chapter 974 The Undefeated Sword Sovereign
Accompanied by the momentum that the world was shaking constantly, what appeared in front of everyone present was a burly old man with white beard, nine feet up and down.
His eyes are like copper bells, his hair is like white snow, and the wrinkles are like slashing by a knife and an axe. His eyes are powerful. From time to time, a purple thunder flashes across his eyes. They couldn't help but tremble in their hearts, as if there was a blade against their necks, and cold sweat involuntarily oozes out.
bump!
With a loud bang, a long sword with purple lightning flashes suddenly stood on the ground and made a sonorous sound. The cold light on the sword was full of chilling aura, like a death scythe, which could harvest anything in the world. One's life!
Zhongzhou Divine Soldier, splitting the Heavenly Sword!
Their eyelids trembled slightly, and everyone took a careful look at the sword, then bowed to the old man in unison, and said with admiration: "This subordinate sees the ancestors, and welcomes the ancestors to leave the customs!"
"Well, what happened here just now, the old man already knew about it in Lei Yin Pavilion, and he didn't want to say anything, just didn't want such a thing to happen again, do you understand?"
Nodding lightly, Baili Yutian's face was indifferent, and there were no ripples in his eyes, as if everything was not in his arms, and he didn't care about anything, just talking casually.
However, this is just an understatement, but it is full of inviolable orders, as if the destiny is down, and everyone must not disobey, and must obey. Otherwise, it is going against the sky, fighting against the sky, and it will inevitably die without a place to be buried.
The King of Nine Swords did not dare to be slighted at all, and they all bowed to take orders, especially the Baili Yulei, who lowered his head deeply, and the sweat on his head was hanging down one by one, and his heart was trembling.
When Shangguan Feiyun saw this, he couldn't help but snickered secretly, showing a hint of disdain. The qin and sword king Liu Mubai's eyes flashed brightly, and the corners of his mouth also flashed a faint arc, as if he had succeeded. .
However, before his fleeting sly smile disappeared, Baili Yutian's icy voice sounded again: "What this old man said today is not just for his own family. Treat each other with courtesy, and please do your best, don't do anything out of the ordinary, and damage the relationship between the two sides, especially..."
Saying that, Baili Yutian didn't make a sound, but the aftermath from the corner of his eyes glanced to the side, and a icy look like a flash of lightning suddenly shot at Liu without anyone noticing it. Mu Bai is there.
He couldn't help shaking his body, and Liu Mubai was horrified. Then, in a cold sweat, he bowed humbly with the other three sword kings, and said, "I will obey the decree of the ancestors, and my subordinates understand!"
"Well, it's good that everyone understands!"
Squinting his eyes slightly, Baili Yutian's face was still flat, noncommittal, then turned to Baili Jingwei and Baili Jingshi and said, "Emperor, Prime Minister, you are late, what's going on?"
After bowing deeply, Baili Jingshi said indifferently: "Report to the ancestors, the Prime Minister copied the clubhouse of Haichuan Commercial Bank a few days ago, and arrested a group of bad actors. , so the Prime Minister and I, together with the princes and nobles, went to the prison to be executed, and we were a little neglected, and I asked the ancestors to forgive me!"
What, celestial punishment?
His eyelids couldn't help shaking. When Liu Mubai heard these four words, his body moved slightly, and his heart sank. He couldn't stop clenching his fists.
"The Punishment of Heaven?"
Raising his brows, Baili Yutian seemed to have some doubts: "Haichuan Commercial Bank has been established in the empire for thousands of years, and has made indelible achievements for the prosperity of the empire. I remember that two thousand years ago, the four states carried out the empire's spiritual mines. The ban was opened by Haichuan Commercial Bank to solve the urgent needs of the empire. What did they do, not to mention their family raids and annihilation, but also to use the punishment of the heavens to shock the world?"
Hurrying to step forward, Baili Jingwei bowed and said, "Report to the ancestors, I will handle this matter..."
Having said that, Baili Jingwei told the whole thing about the magic stone.
After listening to all the causes and consequences, Baili Yutian thought about it for a while, and couldn't help laughing: "The death of dozens of nobles is just a matter of greed, and it has nothing to do with the operation of Haichuan Commercial Bank. The punishment of Tianji is really It's a bit heavy. But Jingwei, you always have your reasons for doing things, and now you do this, there must be other reasons! "
"Old Ancestor Mingjian, that's exactly what it is!"
The corners of his mouth twitched into a confident arc, and Baili Jingwei bowed and bowed, his eyes bright, and excitedly said: "Reporting to the ancestors, Jingwei feels that the time for our Sword Star Empire to unify the five states has come, and we can start wars in all directions. At that time, the Haichuan Chamber of Commerce will connect to the five states, and it will no longer open up business channels for our empire, but will devour our empire to the point where the enemy can take advantage. Not to mention such a big hole. So the subordinates want to take this opportunity to completely shovel the firm, and truly encircle the empire into a bucket.
Hearing this, everyone's brows trembled and they were shocked.
They never imagined that Baili Jingwei would be so eager to send troops to the four states so soon. After all, the Nine Swords Kings had just gathered, and they were used to their leisure time on weekdays, but they were a little caught off guard when they suddenly wanted to fight against the four states!
The most important thing is, can he rest assured that this sudden decision will take effect?
Looking at him deeply, there was still no fluctuation in Baili Yutian's eyes, but he just said faintly: "Are you sure?"
"Of course, before we dispatched troops to the four states, it was difficult to achieve significant results, because
Insufficient troops and insufficient strength, one state is killed, and three states are rescued together, often making us difficult to care about, and we have to go back to defend ourselves! "
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and a strange look appeared in Baili Jingwei's eyes: "But this time is different, the Nine Swords Kings are ready, the ancestors are out of the customs, and the troops are strong and strong, even if we fight on all sides, we still have the tendency to crush, and we will never let them have The opportunity to join forces. So I think this will be a great opportunity for our Sword Star Empire, which will be hard to come across in tens of thousands of years. If we miss it, the four states will have a way to deal with our sword king system. There will be many branches. In short, there are many dreams in the night!"
What a hundred miles of latitude and longitude, the shot is really quick and accurate, and it does not drag on the water at all. The Nine Swords King has just been ready, and he has already sent troops to conquer impatiently. He is really a ruthless man!
There was a flash of light in his eyes, and everyone present was stunned, gave him a deep look, and thought secretly.
Baili Yutian also pondered a little, then looked at Baili Jingshi and said, "You are the emperor, what do you think of the Prime Minister's proposal?"
"Reporting to the ancestors, Jingwei has always acted boldly, and the wisdom pearl is in his hands. This is not comparable to the world. In the emperor's throne alone, all he can do is to be a gatekeeper in his eager plan. Lest he think too hastily and make any mistakes!"
Bowing deeply, Baili Jingshi smiled indifferently: "However, after three days and three nights of grinding together, unfortunately, I was persuaded by him. Although this plan was a bit hasty, there is no doubt that it was rushed to us. The same is true for the other four states, and you will definitely receive unexpected results. Therefore, I approve this plan, and the empire can send troops to fight with lightning speed!"
Staring at the two of them closely, Baili Yutian nodded slightly: "Since you all agree, the old man has nothing to say, so let's do it!"
Hearing this, the two bowed and bowed in unison, smiling.
Seeing that this emperor complemented each other, the Nine Swords Kings looked at each other and couldn't help but admire. However, they did not admire how ingenious this plan was, but rather how well the ancestors employed people!
In this empire, which is guarded by the ancestors, the power of the emperor is greatly restricted, so there is no need for any iron-fisted means. The key is to be tolerant and judge the situation.
Even in the real court and opposition, the prime minister manages affairs more than the emperor!
Therefore, in the position of the prime minister, there are often great talents in governing the country, such as Baili Jingwei. Since he is a great talent, there must be times when he is reckless and arrogant, and it is easy to take sides and act arbitrarily.
Therefore, the power of the emperor is not to run the country, but to limit the power of the prime minister. Then this position does not need to be a great talent. After all, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. When two talented people meet, it is inevitable that the literati will look down on each other and cause conflicts. Therefore, a mediocre person is needed to ease the Prime Minister's talent.
The mediocrity here is not the meaning of mediocrity, but the way of the mean, that is, people like Baili Jingshi. When Baili Jingwei's brain was hot, he poured a basin of cold water on him in time to wake him up, so as not to cause a catastrophe.
Therefore, at this moment, the emperor of the Sword Star Empire, who has been through the world for a hundred miles, is not a bright monarch who is pointing the country and the mountains, but is more like a hermit hiding behind the scenes and taking care of the overall situation. He usually ignores political affairs, but at critical moments he is often able to stabilize the overall situation and avoid major fluctuations.
Therefore, one of these two people is very talented, and the other is introverted. They complement each other, but they can ensure that the decision is absolutely correct. It is not as good as the harmony between the emperors, because their powers are bestowed by their ancestors, and there is no conflict in themselves. Instead, this rare scene appeared in the ages, and they worked together for the empire.
If this is placed in other empires, it is difficult to achieve. The emperor and the prime minister have always been enemies! The prime minister has always restricted the power of the emperor, but he needs the power of the emperor; the emperor wants to kill the prime minister, but he cannot do without the assistance of the prime minister, so it is a situation of love and murder.
But now that this is a quiet move, the two great talents have confirmed this plan at the same time, so Baili Yutian doesn't have to think about it any more, he has already determined that this plan is inseparable from ten, and it can't be wrong!
At this point, the iron hoofs of the Sword Star Empire's advance to the four states are already sounding, and the day when the horse steps on the mountains and rivers will also be carried out soon, and the sword light of the Nine Swords King will also shine to the four states!
But what they could never have imagined was that, apart from Sizhou, an icy corpse was gradually waking up...
"Second son, let's go!"
On the Sword Star Imperial Capital Square, an old man dressed in black was pulling another young man in black with his head covered, and sighed helplessly.
Looking at the corpses of the people in the center of the square that had turned into a pile of ashes, it seemed that the hot temperature had not dissipated, the young man clenched his fists fiercely, turned around abruptly, and disappeared into the crowd.
It's just that his gnashing teeth clearly resounded in the old man's ears: "Elder Ming, I swear, we will make a comeback, as the bell ringer, to sound the death knell for the Sword Star Empire..."
