I Borrowed a Brain from the Almighty

"If we surrender, the country will be in danger!"

Zuo Qiulong stood tall and stepped forward, resolutely taking the lead. He knew that this battle was related to the fate of the empire. If he surrendered this time, other warlords would definitely follow suit. By then, the empire would really be at its end.

Seeing the teacher come out, Ao Ye also showed a happy expression and followed him out, determined to take the lead.

After that, nearly a third of the people came out. Such a large number of warring factions finally made the emperor on the high seat breathe a sigh of relief. An emperor who can support the prime minister's reforms is naturally ambitious, so the army gathers again. With Zuo Qiulong as the commander-in-chief and Ao Ye as his deputy, he suppressed the rebels.

Thirty miles from the outskirts of Beijing.

In the rebel camp, the rebel leader, who was wearing armor and sitting high in the main tent, spoke confidently to his subordinates.

"This visit to Beijing is to let the emperor know the hard work of the brothers. I promise that as long as the goal is achieved, all brothers will be together."

The rebels are coming fiercely, but they are not as confident as they appear. They were able to defeat the defending army in front because they have been in business for many years, but the capital is different. If they really want to fight with open swords and guns, they will definitely be defeated.

The rebels who followed him on the adventure were not loyal people. They only gathered around him to gain more glory and wealth, and this goal coincided with his.

"Report!"

A small soldier quickly entered the camp, half-knelt in the commander's tent, and quickly reported what happened in the court hall in the morning.

"Shu Zi! If you dare to ruin my good deeds, I swear to kill you!"

The rebel leader was extremely handsome. He punched the tables and chairs with his fist, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Somebody come!"

On the capital side, since the decision to send troops to quell the rebellion, the empire has begun to move. Zuo Qiulong, Ao Ye and other main combatants gathered together to discuss the strategy. Everyone was full of confidence. Chen Luo was also beside him. He could feel the tribulation energy appearing on his body again, and it was getting stronger and stronger. The same goes for Ao Ye and Zuo Qiulong opposite.

After the discussion, everyone dispersed, leaving Ao Ye and Chen Luo to cook wine in the courtyard.

"This is the letter my third brother sent me this morning."

Zuo Qiulong put the letter on the table, and the two of them looked at it and found that it contained the rebels' negotiation conditions. They promised that as long as Zuo Qiulong is willing to recommend them, the rebels will give him countless glory and wealth to ensure the prosperity of his family.

"How do you plan to choose, teacher?"

Ao Ye couldn't help but ask.

If he were alone, Zuo Qiulong might be able to persist, but when it comes to relatives and children, normal people would be shaken. Being an official all your life, why? Give your wife a shadow and benefit your children and grandchildren. Now Zuo Qiulong can get all this by just nodding his head. What will be harmed is the interests of the empire, and what will benefit is himself and his family.

"In life, there are things to do and things not to do. If everyone only cares about themselves, this country will be finished."

Zuo Qiulong threw the letter into the nearby stove and watched the writing on it burnt to ashes by the flames. He was as stubborn as a stone, completely unswayed by wealth.

"I've turned down lobbyists."

He did not say who the lobbyist was. Now that the army was approaching and people in the city were floating, the lobbyist must be a familiar friend, otherwise the other party would not have been able to send the letter to Zuo Qiulong's mansion.

Chen Luo looked at the two people in front of him and remained silent.

The choice was so quick.

Ao Ye was the 'high-class demon species' he was optimistic about, but Zuo Qiulong was a little unexpected. This person is very determined. He will never look back after deciding on something, and he will not be affected by external things at all.

early morning.

long street.

Zuo Qiulong and Ao Ye went to court together, making final preparations before the war. Chen Luo walked behind and looked at the two people in front of him. He clearly noticed that the calamity aura was getting stronger and stronger. Suddenly, a black shadow jumped out from the door, holding a long knife, and slashed Ao Ye on the right. Ao Ye, who was unaware, was immediately chopped to the ground by the knife and lost the ability to resist.

"presumptuous!"

Zuo Qiulong was furious, rushed up to knock away the assassin, and started fighting with him. Chen Luo behind him was also besieged by three assassins.

The two sides fight.

Zuo Qiulong is not a professional martial artist, he is just an ordinary person during the inner demon tribulation. After struggling for a while, he was finally defeated by the assassin and fell to the ground. The long knife was placed on his neck. The assassin deliberately pulled off his face towel and asked with a smile.

"Master Zuo, I'll give you another chance. Have you decided on your choice?"

"I will kill the traitors and traitors!"

Zuo Qiulong was bleeding all over his body, but his will remained firm.

"Okay, okay!"

The assassin was furious and cut off Zuo Qiulong's head with a knife.

Then he was stained with blood and wrote a line of words on the wall to scare those warring factions. Then he raised his head and walked away

Upon seeing this, the three assassins behind quickly evacuated, leaving Chen Luo and several officials who had gone to court to watch the tragedy in front of them.

"Hurry and save people!"

I don’t know who shouted.

Chen Luo raised his head and looked in front of him. He stretched out his hand, and a black demon seed flew into his hand from the dead Zuo Qiulong. Another mature demon seed, this is the second complete demon seed that Chen Luo has received since the Blood Knife Tribulation Cultivator. From it, he felt the strong power of 'Heavenly Tribulation Feedback'. It can be regarded as a way to steal the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, but I don't know if there will be any sequelae.

'I am'

‘Finally I saw the second living person. ’

The Blood Sword Tribulation Cultivator was floating on the side like a ghost. Looking at the dazed Zuo Qiulong, he couldn't help but say something.

The two of them were silent at the same time, looking at Chen Luo in the distance. They felt that this man was like a big devil, manipulating inner demons and tampering with life. However, this is also an opportunity for the two of them. If they can survive the tribulation this time, their minds will be much stronger. If they get the opportunity to attack the pill formation one day in the future, the success rate of overcoming the inner demon tribulation will be much higher. to others.

There is nothing better than this, where blessings and misfortunes depend on each other.

The prime minister was killed, and the government and the public were shocked. The court meeting originally scheduled for early morning was also postponed.

A few days later.

After the incident subsided, several disciples of the prime minister gathered together in Ao Ye's home.

"Where's the teacher?"

Ao Ye woke up from his bed. Although he saw some blurry images, he still wanted to confirm. He was lucky. The assassin only slashed him once and left him alone. He also managed to escape. The injury from the knife looked scary, but it actually didn't hurt him at all.

"He was killed by thieves and has been buried." An official said unbearably.

Everyone knows that the Prime Minister likes Ao Ye the most, and they have the best relationship. The death of the Prime Minister was the biggest blow to him. Afterwards, several people comforted him a few times, and even the palace sent people to express their condolences to him. When the crowd dispersed, Ao Ye leaned his head against the wall, his eyes slightly closed. He clasped his hands and swore secretly in his heart.

‘I will definitely avenge this! ’

"Got a choice?"

Chen Luo asked him.

"Yes. I want revenge and will never compromise!"

Ao Ye opened his eyes, looked at his former brother, and said firmly. After this incident, he seemed to have grown up overnight, and his whole spirit was completely different from before.

The power of the inner demon tribulation began to feed back into his body, and the amount was greater than anyone else's.

Morning is still the same.

But the impact of the Prime Minister's death was huge. One-third of the original warring faction and half chose to compromise. They knelt in the main hall together with the surrendering faction, talking about the world and the country, hoping that your Majesty would do the same. The country is the most important thing, remove the villain.

The few people who spoke uprightly were all kicked out of the court and relegated to remote places where they were no longer an eyesore.

Internal and external collusion, external military coercion, and internal collusion of powerful officials, interests are like a net that tightly binds these people together. Zuo Qiulong who tried to tear this net apart has been killed by them, and the bloody words left on the long street are their warning.

"I believe that General Li is a loyal minister of the empire. He has guarded the border for the country and shed blood and tears for more than ten years. Your Majesty cannot let the words of a villain chill the hearts of loyal ministers."

"Sir Huang's words are reasonable. I think it is appropriate to remove Ao Ye, Zhang Zheng and other villains who are sowing discord between the emperor and his ministers, and make General Li the commander-in-chief of Beijun."

A group of surrender ministers talked about their own purposes.

Each of them has the face of a loyal minister, with 'loyalty to the emperor and patriotism' written all over their face, and they are full of benevolence, justice and morality, but what they do makes the emperor on the throne feel cold.

The prime minister was killed on the street.

The powerful minister coerced the capital and was so humiliated, but these people turned a blind eye. Everyone was blaming the dead prime minister, as if he was responsible for all this.

"Reconsideration."

The emperor stood up tiredly and ended this boring court meeting.

He's had enough of these people's faces.

Back in the palace, the emperor summoned Ao Ye and Chen Luo, who had just recovered. Both of them were loyal ministers recommended by the prime minister during their lifetimes. In the current situation, these were the only people he could rely on.

"You are willing to help me eradicate these rebellious officials and traitors?"

The emperor who saw the two of them had no airs of an emperor at all. He held Ao Ye's hand with a tired look on his face, and his eyes were filled with sadness.

"I will not disappoint Your Majesty!"

Ao Ye's eyes flashed to his mentor who had been making tea with him in the courtyard a few days ago and explaining how to be an official. He said in a firm tone.

"The thieves are powerful and have hooked up with important officials in the court. The most important thing is to protect yourself." The emperor held Ao Ye's hand a little harder, his words full of concern. Chen Luo stood aside quietly, and everyone was used to his reticence.

"If you advance, never retreat, you will never regret it!"

Ao Ye responded loudly.

"good!"

The monarch and his ministers discussed and made a plan together.

Chen Luo is also among them, but his job is to assist Ao Ye in fighting against the rebels. People loyal to the emperor began to exert their strength, and the undercurrent in the court that had been suppressed by the capitulation faction surged again, but this time it was no longer Prime Minister Zuo Qiulong who was at the forefront, but his disciple Ao Ye.

The next day.

The morning court was the same, but this time the emperor did not give those surrendering factions a chance to speak. Instead, he stood up and spoke to the people in front of the palace.

"I thought about it last night and feel that what the ministers said yesterday is very reasonable. However, after deposing Ao Ye, Zhang Zheng and others, will General Li really retreat outside the city?"

"Naturally"

"Shilang Huang, are you willing to use your head as a guarantee?"

"this"

"Or can you guarantee Sun Diankui?" The emperor's eyes fell on another capitulationist.

The 'loyal ministers' were speechless during the middle of the sentence, and no one dared to speak. They just accepted the rebels' benefits and did not want to guarantee their lives. They couldn't possibly know what the rebels outside the city thought.

"If Ao Ye, Zhang Zheng and others are deposed, how will we respond if rebels follow suit in the future?"

This time no one said anything, everyone saw the emperor's purpose.

"I would like to go to the front line and 'persuade' General Li to withdraw his troops." Ao Ye stood up at the right time and said in a deep voice. (End of chapter)
