Lin Ze's hesitation was noticed by Emperor Qin, who said slightly displeasedly: "Why, you're not happy?"
When Lin Ze heard Emperor Qin's words, his mind raced wildly, and he came to the conclusion that Emperor Qin was not here to hold him accountable, but to lure him back.
Lin Ze's instinctive answer was: Of course not!
Lin Ze was certain that Emperor Qin must not know how Fusu died, otherwise he would never let him go, nor would he say such things.
To be honest, Lin Ze was still a little touched and excited when Emperor Qin went to the Dao Palace to recruit him.
But all unnecessary emotions are nothing in the face of life and death.
It would be nice if Fusu hadn't died, but unfortunately without if, people can't be resurrected after death, Lin Ze thought with a secret sigh.
Seeing that Emperor Qin's face was getting darker and darker, and he was about to have an attack, Lin Ze hurriedly said: "Please the Palace Master and Elder Xuanming take the Taoist Palace disciples out of the way. I have a few private words to say to His Majesty."
Shouzheng looked at Emperor Qin, then at Lin Ze, and suddenly remembered that Daogong had promised Lin Ze that he would protect him. He felt bitter in his heart, and suddenly said: "Since the sage has a private message with Emperor Qin, it is not convenient for Daogong to participate, so just retreat."
.”
"Please bear in mind, sage, that no matter what happens later, although Pindao cannot stand on your side on behalf of the Tao Palace, he will stand on your side in a private capacity."
"There is only one death left or right, because of the friendship between Quan Dao Palace and the sages."
Shouzheng left behind these words that moved Lin Ze deeply, and left with Xuanming and several disciples guarding the gate. Lin Ze and Emperor Qin were the only ones left inside and outside the gate of the Dao Palace.
Lin Ze bit his lips lightly and bowed towards Shouzheng's leaving figure. This was a sign of respect and apology to the friend who entrusted his life to him.
While bowing, Lin Ze's brain was running wildly. Countless countermeasures came to mind, and he finally planned to go crazy.
Lin Ze looked calm and said to Emperor Qin: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. It's not that I don't want to go back with Your Majesty, but that my heart has died."
"In other words, I am afraid of death, and I am afraid that one day I will be given another glass of poisonous wine."
"I can still escape Master Hu Hai's poisonous wine, but if Your Majesty wants me to die, I will not be able to escape."
At the end of the sentence, Lin Ze smiled bitterly and looked helpless, as if he had suffered enough grievances.
Lin Ze searched for many reasons, but still felt that this reason was appropriate. It was ten thousand times better than directly saying that Fusu died because of me, and I was afraid that you would fall out and kill me.
Emperor Qin narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly: "If you don't follow me back, I will kill you right now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ze suddenly felt that the whole world was rejecting him and full of malice towards him, as if the next moment there would be a lightning strike that would wipe out his body.
Lin Ze's face was solemn. Is this the power of heavenly beings? Just a wisp of breath makes it difficult for people to rise up to resist.
Lin Ze breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a serious face: "I dare to guess that Your Majesty will not kill me. If Your Majesty does not believe it, I would like to tell Your Majesty in detail."
When Emperor Qin heard this, he looked at Lin Ze with great interest and said, "Come and listen?"
Lin Ze coughed lightly and said, "Does Your Majesty know about the arrival of heavenly beings?"
"Know a thing or two."
Lin Ze was completely relieved. He was not afraid that Emperor Qin would know, but that he would not know.
So Lin Ze carefully explained the information he had obtained from Buddhism and Confucianism in front of Emperor Qin.
After hearing this, Emperor Qin disapproved and said: "The story is very exciting, but what exactly do you want to express? Is there any connection between the arrival of Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism and the fact that I will not kill you?"
"Could it be that you want to say that you are a Taoist disciple and I don't dare to kill you?"
Lin Ze coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty's words are serious. How dare I threaten you with this? It's just that I happened to be connected with the Dao Palace's formation."
"If I die, the Dao Palace formation will inevitably collapse. If the Dao Palace collapses, even if the Dao Palace is not destroyed, it will not be far behind."
At this point, Lin Ze did not dare to say any more, because he was afraid that if he continued, Emperor Qin would become so angry that he would slap him to death regardless.
Emperor Qin laughed angrily: "Okay, very good. Since I unified the world, you are the first to threaten me. The last person to threaten me, I destroyed his entire clan and ordered him to be chopped up with a knife for ten days."
For ten nights, he died of torture."
"Lin Ze, do you really think that I don't dare to kill you?"
As the last word fell, Lin Ze felt that his internal organs were stuffed into the turbine and turned into a pot of porridge. His whole body was in pain and he lost consciousness, and he vomited out blood in large mouthfuls.
At the same time, the Dao Palace was shaken and many buildings collapsed. This was the backlash caused by the formation being unable to withstand it.
Lin Ze didn't lie. When he learned that Gong Da Neng might not come from the sky, he secretly changed the formation and connected himself with the Dao Palace formation.
In other words, Lin Ze is now the center of the Dao Palace Formation.
The formation's eyes are broken, the big formation is broken, and the Taoist palace building, which is the foundation of the formation, cannot escape naturally.
At the same time, the Dao Palace formation was broken, and the aftermath was enough to kill the Dao Palace disciples in the center.
Lin Ze estimated that if the formation was broken, except for Shouzheng, Xuanming and Jiang Chengzi who was about to die of old age, the rest of the people in the Dao Palace would be lucky or not.
This is why Lin Ze asked Shouzheng and the others to leave first, otherwise the good character Lin Ze had worked so hard to build would suddenly collapse if the people in the Dao Palace saw this scene.
Lin Ze still wants to seek help from the Taoist Palace, but his character cannot be destroyed yet.
After suffering severe injuries, Lin Ze recovered after a while. A crazy smile appeared on his face, he closed his eyes and said, "I beg your Majesty to give me a good time."
Emperor Qin did not rush to take action, but asked quietly: "Would you rather die than serve me?"
Lin Ze opened his eyes, smiled sadly and said: "No, I am afraid of death. I am just gambling with death for a chance of survival. I thought that Your Majesty would put the world first and let me live this miserable life."
"If you take refuge in me, I will definitely use you. How can I kill you?"
Emperor Qin suppressed the murderous intention in his heart and said, if it wasn't Han Fei's legacy, how could Emperor Qin, who was so proud, compromise?
Lin Ze was surprised by Emperor Qin's persistence. Logically speaking, after he revealed his trump card, Emperor Qin would either kill him directly, or write it down first and then kill him later. How could he still want to recruit him?
When things go wrong, there must be monsters. Lin Ze was heartbroken and said directly: "I have committed a crime of treason and injustice. I am lucky to be alive. I dare not ask for too much. Please forgive me."
Qin Huang chuckled lightly and said: "The crime of treason? Are you referring to personally destroying Hu Hai's cultivation, or instructing assassins to assassinate Fusu?"
Lin Ze's heart trembled when he heard this and he was stunned. Emperor Qin even knew this and still wanted to recruit him. What was the problem?
This is completely unscientific. If anyone wants to hurt Lin Ze's son, Lin Ze will definitely kill his whole family.
"I don't even care about these, are you still worried that I will kill you? Do you want me to swear to the sky that if you don't let me down, I will never let you down?"
