Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Facing Zhao Changying's affectionate courtship, Gu Xu was a little moved, but still maintained a polite attitude, nodded and responded: "What the king did today, I will remember it in my heart, and if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely come to see you." report."

He knew very well that Zhao Changying's purpose behind it was definitely to let him marry Zhao Yan and stay here to be Dayan's future husband.

Seeing Gu Xu's vague attitude, Zhao Changying was not angry, but reached out and patted his shoulder lightly, and said to him, "Come to my study later."

…………

After the court was over, Gu Xu put on the black mask again.

The eyes staring at him quickly disappeared.He turned back into an ordinary passerby again.

Then he followed Zhao Changying's request and came to the other party's study.

Outside the door of the study, he ran into Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan obviously practiced martial arts in the morning.

She was wearing a dark red dress, black boots on her feet, her long hair was coiled high behind her head, she looked slender with a slender waist and a slender neck.

On her cheeks, there were still glistening beads of sweat dripping.

"Did the Great Qi Dynasty send envoys here to look for you today?" Zhao Yan asked him as soon as they met.Between her brows, a hint of worry could be faintly glimpsed.

"Your father drove them away and abolished their cultivation." Gu Xu said truthfully.

"He should really treat you as his own family." Zhao Yan said seriously.

But when Gu Xu's eyes fell on her face, she couldn't help laughing softly, with a hint of cunning in her eyes.

Only then did Gu Xu realize that he was molested by her again.

Ever since Zhao Changying suggested that the two of them get married, Zhao Yan's behavior has also become strange, always challenging the bottom line of his patience.

If he hadn't been bound by him, sometimes he really wanted to take this charming goblin to justice on the spot.

The two then crossed the threshold side by side.

Zhao Changying was sitting on the chair behind the desk.

With his right hand resting on his forehead and his elbows on the table, he looked a little tired.

"sit down."

He pointed to the two chairs next to him.

After Gu Xu and Zhao Yan sat down, he slowly raised his head and looked at Zhao Yan solemnly: "I have made a decision today. I will abdicate early and hand over the throne to you."

Hearing this, Zhao Yan showed a surprised look on his face.

"Why? Is there something wrong with your body?" Her tone sounded worried.

"No." Zhao Changying shook her head, "My body has been in trouble for a long time, but it doesn't prevent me from performing my duties as King Yan for a few more days.

"I was just thinking that in the whole of Dayan, apart from me, there is no other strong person above the saint.

"If I were alive, no one would dare to touch Dayan easily except Emperor Tianxing himself.

"But after my death, ghosts and monsters from all walks of life may come to Jicheng to join in the fun. After you take the throne, you will definitely encounter countless difficulties.

"So, I plan to hand over the throne to you first, and then use the excuse of 'exploring the Ascension Avenue' to go to the underground secret room for retreat.

"As long as I stay in the secret room and don't come out, people outside will never know whether I am dead or alive, and will always be jealous of Dayan.

"When you become a saint in the future and can provoke the leader of the Yan Kingdom, you will come to the secret room to collect my body and make the news of my death public.

"At that time, I can also reunite with your mother under the Nine Springs with peace of mind."

"Father, you..." Zhao Yan hesitated to speak.

At this moment, there are mixed feelings in her heart.She knew very well how much her father sacrificed for Dayan and her.

He is a king, but he chooses to lock himself in a secret room when his life is about to end, and dies with no one mourning him, willingly paving the way for her.

"The date of your ascension should be three days later." Zhao Changying pretended not to see her daughter's expression, and continued to speak calmly. Wait for people to communicate more, and get familiar with Dayan's internal affairs and military situation as soon as possible. If you encounter problems, come to me.

"I will prepare a list for you, and I will tell you who you can reuse and who you need to beware of.

"Zhao Changqi has coveted my position for a long time. But he and his son are too scheming and mercenary. If time passes, they will reveal their true colors and bring about their own destruction.

"You must also pay attention to the power of the Fire God Temple. But Chong Li and most of the priests are fanatics who stick to tradition, and they may suggest that you take some extreme actions. You must think twice before cooperating with them Row."

Zhao Yan nodded, expressing that she had kept these words in her heart.

"Finally, I have another request," Zhao Changying said slowly, looking into her eyes seriously, "No matter what, I still hope that you have a descendant of your own. Only with an heir can a regime be stabilized. "

Zhao Yan didn't say anything.

She unconsciously glanced at Gu Xu next to her.

But Gu Xu was looking straight ahead, motionless, as if deliberately avoiding her gaze.

"Yan'er, go and do your own business first." After a while, Zhao Changying smiled faintly at Zhao Yan, "I still have something to talk to Gu Xiaoyou alone."

Zhao Yan frowned, as if she was not happy about being excluded from the conversation, but she still stood up from the seat and strode out of the room.

Only Gu Xu and Zhao Changying were left in the room.

Zhao Changying sighed a long time, suppressed his smile, and his eyes were no longer calm, but showed exhaustion and sadness without reservation.

At this moment, he seemed to have aged ten years suddenly.

"Gu Xiaoyou, are you really the reincarnation of a god?" He leaned forward slightly, staring straight at Gu Xu.

"Perhaps so."

"I know, you have your own plans and ideas, and I can't force you when it comes to marriage," he paused for a moment, emphasizing his tone, "But, can you look at my weak side? , for the sake of Yan'er's helping you, promise me a request?"

"If it is within my ability, I will try my best to complete it."

"After...after my death, take good care of Yan'er for me," Zhao Changying's eyes suddenly turned red like a rabbit, "Her mother died too early, and I was too obsessed with revenge, so I didn't care much about it." Through her growth, she didn't do a good job as a father.

"Perhaps it is because she grew up in a lonely and caring environment that she became so withdrawn and perverse.

"Now, I'm going to see Lord Yan again selfishly, leaving a mess to her like this, and she needs to solve countless internal and external troubles.

"She... she is really difficult.

"Gu Xiaoyou, Yan'er has only opened her heart in front of you since she was a child and showed her intimacy. If possible, help her more after she ascends the throne, okay?

"Your cultivation talent is unprecedented, and now the Fire God Temple is only looking after you. With your help, she should be able to gain a firm foothold more easily.

"This is the last plea in the life of a disqualified father..."

Speaking of this, this tall, burly, and always majestic man suddenly cried "wow", two lines of tears gushed out of the copper bell-like eyes like a stream, and trickled down his cheeks into his beard .

Gu Xu stood up and said seriously, "I promise you."
