Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 504 Performance
"No, I can hold on for a while longer," Luo Chuan waved his hand, signaling Princess Zhaoning not to worry about him, "This information is very important to us, even if I do my best, I still have to—"

However, before he finished speaking, he suddenly let out a painful snort, and sat down on the ground with his head covered, completely losing his graceful demeanor as a strong saint in the past.

Blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, soaking the spotless crane cloak.

The light on the bronze mirror flickered a few times, and then quickly extinguished, returning to its old, dim, and ordinary appearance.

Seeing this scene, Princess Zhaoning was startled, and immediately bent down and reached out to help him.

The Grand Master of Qi next to him was also shocked.

He knew that Zhao Changying, who had been promoted to the Realm of a True Monarch, was so powerful that he was able to defeat Luo Chuan with one move in front of the palace gate, making him lose his true energy and fall into a coma.

But he did not expect that Zhao Changying would be able to hinder Luo Chuan's prying at the level of fate—you know, in everyone's perception, Luo Chuan is the ceiling of the Da Qi Dynasty's secret deduction technique, and Zhao Changying He is a vulgar martial artist with a spear and a club.

"It seems that what Luo Chuan said is correct," he thought silently, "the only way to completely wipe out these rebels is to wait until the emperor leaves the customs.

"What we can do now is to hold them back and let their internal conflicts gradually ferment, but we must not use too much force to cause them to fight back fiercely.

"A true monarch who is going all out, I'm afraid no one can stop him except the emperor."

At the same time, he took out a elixir that healed injuries and replenished true essence from the magic weapon of space, and stuffed it into Luo Chuan's mouth.

Luo Chuan's complexion finally recovered slightly.

In the shadow that no one else could notice, an imperceptible smile appeared on his face.

He knew that his "performance" today had successfully bought Dijun a lot of time to accumulate strength.

He had witnessed the emperor's all-powerful and invincible in the upper realm.

Therefore, he believed that time was always on the side of the emperor.

He is extremely looking forward to how the world will react on the day when Dijun truly regains his former strength.

…………

The anti-thief army headed by Gu Xu, with the help of a sage and a true king, captured six cities on the northwest border in a single day, and soon aroused intense tension within the entire Daqi Dynasty. sensation.

In peaceful times, for the vast majority of ordinary people in Daqi, the stories of practitioners are often exciting, distant, and aspirational, and they serve as topics of conversation after dinner, just like people in Gu Xu's previous life liked to discuss entertainment circles. Same message.

Young monks like Gu Xu, who have both appearance and talent, and who have made a lot of big news in less than a year of practice, are undoubtedly the hottest object of their discussions.

Ever since Gu Xu solved the case of Lu's haunted house, prevented the promotion ceremony of Kongxuan Sanren, and made a big splash in the Lantern Festival competition, he has gained many more "fans" across the country——

Most of these people are second-year middle school teenagers who yearn for the extraordinary and dream of heroes.They substituted fantasy into Gu Xu's life experience, and even imitated him in dressing, so as to escape the boring reality.

After Gu Xu became a wanted criminal for treason, the group quickly split into two factions.

One of the factions was furious because of the collapse of their idols, and resented being deceived by Gu Xu's disguised perfect appearance; they gathered together to criticize and curse him in the name of the country and righteousness.

The other school firmly believes that how can a hero who has rescued thousands of people from danger suddenly conspire with ghosts for his own self-interest and commit treason?

There must be grievances in this.

As a result, the two factions quarreled day and night, but no one could convince the other.

But no matter which faction it is, in the final analysis, it is all about having fun in the boring reality.

Just like no matter how thrilling the news on the entertainment page is, it will not cause the slightest disturbance in the lives of ordinary people.

Until recently.

Gu Xu has really become a real and undeniable traitor.

Under the flag of the silver dragon on a black background, an army of tens of thousands of paper figurines broke through the impenetrable border defenses of the Great Qi Dynasty for hundreds of years, and also tore up the peaceful life of the Qi people.

Whether it is Gu Xu's supporters or critics, they are all silent at this moment.

Because, when a new star in the entertainment page suddenly appears on the current political news with a sensational attitude and becomes a big figure who affects the world situation, then he is no longer an object for people to judge and criticize at will.

Every decision and every move he makes may cause turmoil in the daily life of ordinary people.

But the more shocking thing is yet to come——

A few days after Gu Xu captured the six border cities, a mission from the holy mountain of the grassland, led by the former Khan Altan, came to Liangzhou City, presented a crown and robes to Gu Xu, and declared their surrender .

They called Gu Xu the "mandate of heaven" and "the god of the world", and believed that he would rule the world and bring glory and glory to the grassland people.

This news shocked the Daqi government and the public.

For hundreds of years, the barbarians in the northwest grasslands have always been a hard bone for the Qi Dynasty.

Da Qi has a strong background and can always gain the upper hand in the confrontation, but these barbarians are like weeds in the wilderness.

The holy mountain, the shaman, the wolf god, the bone scepter... are the kindling that keeps life on the prairie alive.

In this era when the emperors of Daqi were influenced by the "Tai'a Sword" and tended to be conservative and seek stability, and only wanted to be "jailers" rather than pioneering and enterprising, the grassland barbarians continued to multiply and grow, and became a problem that has long plagued Daqi's northwest border. Big trouble for the military and civilians.

The Daqi court also thought about using peaceful means to recruit and surrender this group of barbarians.

But the belief in the "Wolf God" gave the grassland people blood beyond imagination-no matter how good the conditions or threats given by the Daqi Dynasty, they were unwilling to surrender.

However, recently, this difficult problem that the Great Qi Dynasty could not cope with was actually solved by Gu Xu effortlessly.

The prairie people never recognized the orthodox status of Emperor Daqi in the Great Wilderness, but they were willing to regard Gu Xu, a rebellious minister and traitor, as their monarch.

Such differential treatment made the courtiers of Daqi deeply angry.

They have always looked down on the prairie people and called them "vulgar savages".

But when they found out that this group of prairie people also looked down on them, they lost their composure...

…………

At this moment, in the magistrate's yamen in Liangzhou City, Gu Xu stood in front of a huge map and pondered deeply.

His gaze was calm and focused, like the vast night sky, encompassing the wild land.

A bloated monk walked up to him, and said with a stiff and respectful attitude: "Master Gu... No, Dijun, you told us that these grassland people have already taken refuge in you.

"You have such a powerful force under your command, but why bother to draw so many paper figurines to capture the city?"
