This strange man who suddenly arrived turned out to be one of the top masters under Lin Bei's command, the former Fire Worshiping King, Huo Bai.
Although he calls himself a "grassroots man", his expression is very indifferent, and he faintly exudes an aloof temperament that repels people thousands of miles away. How can he have the slightest humility of ordinary people when facing the emperor?
If Lin Xiaodie was not familiar with Huo Bai, then the man in black standing next to him took her by surprise.
It’s actually a mandrill!
The two of them didn't have much interaction in the past, but they also fought side by side in the Valley of Strangers, and together they dealt with the ancient demon Ye Jiangnan, so they were considered former comrades-in-arms.
But now, she couldn't feel any friendly atmosphere from Demon Mandrill.
There is only deep hostility and endless anger.
Looking at the mandrill's bloodshot eyes and the black flames lingering around him, even a fool can tell that the other person is not here to reminisce about the past.
"Huobai? Never heard of it!"
Just when Lin Xiaodie, Zhuque and others were on guard, Li Jiuye's hoarse voice came out again from the wooden house, "The old man is no longer the emperor. Now he just wants to spend the rest of his life in this barren mountain and doesn't want to see any foreigners again."
, just leave!"
"Why bother with a temporary setback?"
Of course Huo Bai would not leave just like that, "The common people are here just to welcome His Majesty back to the capital and take back the throne that belongs to you."
"What!"
Before Li Jiuye could answer, another sharp voice suddenly sounded, and then, a white figure jumped out from the house, with a pale and handsome face full of excitement, and his limbs could not stop trembling slightly, "Those words
really?"
It was the former prince Li Yan who was imprisoned here together with Li Jiuye.
"This must be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
A strange color flashed in Huo Bai's eyes, the corner of his mouth raised slightly, and he replied softly, "I don't dare to tell lies. You two should pack up quickly and leave with me as soon as possible."
"Father, father!"
Li Yan was overjoyed and turned towards the wooden house and shouted loudly, "We are saved!"
"Idiot, you believed him when he said he would save you? Three years have passed and there's still no progress at all!"
What answered him was Li Jiuye yelling, "We have no power or strength now, why would he come to save us? How can such a good thing happen? It seems like he has no good intentions at first glance!"
The former Emperor of Daqian actually behaved like a shrew who scolded the streets, using vulgar language and no grace.
"Yes, but we are the orthodox ones."
Li Yan didn't expect his father to react like this. He couldn't help but be dumbfounded and stuttered, "Third, the third sister conspired with Piaohua Palace to seize the throne. This is treason. The righteous people in the world will naturally..."
"orthodox?"
The door was slowly pushed open, revealing Li Jiuye's rickety figure. His face was unshaven, his clothes were crooked, and he was not trim at all. Only his eyes were still bright and clear, with no concealment of contempt and sarcasm. "Three
This girl is also a direct descendant of my Li family, how can she be unorthodox? Besides, where can the so-called 'just men' come from in the world? If there were, how could we still be imprisoned here for three years?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for not agreeing with your Majesty's words."
A thin figure appeared in front of another wooden house, saluted Li Jiuye, and said tremblingly, "As the saying goes, if you are successful, you will get more help, but if you are unfaithful, you will get few help. The three princes...the traitor Li Yiru has taken the throne." If you are not honest, you will surely have made the world angry, and it will only be a matter of time before heroes come to rescue Your Majesty."
"Lao Yang, this kid is stupid, but you are not stupid." Li Jiuye glanced at him and sighed, "Three years have passed, haven't you given up yet?"
It turned out that the person speaking was none other than Yang Rui, the former deputy prime minister of Daqian, who was imprisoned in Qingyun Mountain together with Li Jiuye and his son.
"Your Majesty, your words are wrong."
Yang Rui, who has always been a smooth person, actually retorted very firmly, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise, powerful and enterprising. He is a rare wise man. How can he be called 'stupid'?"
After being complimented by him in this way, Li Yan couldn't help but puff out his chest, and his face showed a bit of amusement.
"You are just too obsessed with fame and fortune." Li Jiuye shook his head helplessly, "Have you ever thought about where this place is? This is the territory of Piaohua Palace. How easy is it to rescue us?"
"Why did your Majesty say this?"
Standing in the air, Huo Bai smiled slightly, "Piaohua Palace suffered heavy casualties under the encirclement and suppression by the world's masters. It no longer poses much of a threat. As long as His Majesty returns to the throne and raises his arms, the world will naturally return to its heart and peace will be within the universe."
"What!"
Hearing what he said, the expressions of everyone below changed.
The faces of Li Yan and Yang Rui showed expressions of ecstasy at the same time, but Li Jiuye had a strange expression and his eyes were a little complicated.
"What nonsense!"
Lin Xiaodie's fair face couldn't help but reveal a look of anger. She tapped the ground with her toes, jumped up into the air, faced off with Huo Bai and the others, and shouted sternly, "Why is my Piaohua Palace so good? There are so many casualties. ?”
"Your Majesty, this world belongs to men. How can there be any reason for a woman to be the emperor?"
Huo Bai paid no attention to her, but still looked at Li Jiuye with a smile and said, "Li Yiru has been foolish and reckless these years, causing chaos in the country, causing great chaos in the world, and making people miserable. Please come out, bring order to the chaos, and give me a bright future." .”
"Well said! Well said!"
These words were so resounding that Li Yan's blood was racing and he was so excited that he cheered loudly, "Father, Mr. Huo is really a man of insight. What are you still hesitating about?"
"The world is in chaos? People are in dire straits?"
Li Jiuye sneered and said, "How come I heard that in the past three years, the empire has been in good weather, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and it is a rare prosperous era?"
When Li Yan and Yang Rui heard this, they were both dumbfounded. Their eyes were full of disbelief, and they had no idea why the down-and-out emperor who had been ousted from power wanted to speak for Li Yiru.
"There is absolutely no such thing." Huo Bai denied lightly, "Your Majesty must have been deceived by an adulterer."
The two looked at each other in silence, and neither of them spoke again.
"Just leave!"
After a long while, Li Jiuye suddenly said, "I will not leave the mountain."
"Father, why?"
Li Yan was shocked and couldn't help shouting, "Why did you refuse such a good opportunity?"
"How can I trust a person who doesn't tell the truth?"
Li Jiuye's eyes flickered, and his gaze suddenly glanced at the boy in Suzaku's arms. His eyes softened a lot unconsciously, "Besides, I'm old and have lost my cultivation. I can't move anymore. What's the throne? What's the matter?" The world, let it pass."
"Father!"
"His Majesty!"
Li Yan and Yang Rui both changed their expressions, obviously they did not expect to hear such decadent words from Li Jiuye.
"Besides, your sister managed Da Gan very well." Li Jiuye continued, "Even if I take back the throne, I can't do a better job than her. Even for Da Gan people, we shouldn't run back. It’s all a waste of time.”
Li Yan stared at him blankly, his mouth wide open. He felt that his father suddenly became very strange, and a deep feeling of disappointment could not help but surge into his heart.
"Your Majesty, you have fallen."
Huo Bai sighed, but was not angry. Instead, he turned to look at Li Yan and said, "In this case, I wonder if His Highness the Crown Prince is willing to leave with the common people?"
"He won't leave!"
Li Yan was overjoyed and suddenly raised his head. Just as he was about to nod in agreement, Li Jiuye intervened first.
"The people are asking about His Highness the Crown Prince." Huo Bai frowned and his voice gradually became colder.
"I am his father, and he is my son." Li Jiuye's eyes shone brightly, staring closely into Huo Bai's eyes, "If I don't let him go, he won't be able to leave."
"Father, you..."
In a state of ups and downs, Li Yan finally couldn't restrain his emotions and glared at him angrily, "Why?"
"I said it." Li Jiuye turned to look directly into his eyes and replied decisively, "Three girls have done a good job, and the people in the world are also living a good life. There is no need to stir up trouble again."
"But, but..."
Veins popped up on Li Yan's forehead, his teeth clenched, his fists clenched together, and his sharp nails dug red threads in his palms.
"It's nothing to worry about." Li Jiuye ignored him and turned to look at the sky, "This matter is over now, please go away and don't disturb my purity again."
"I don't want to give up my power and freedom, but I am willing to live in this tiny place and live in the life of His Royal Highness."
Huo Bai shook his head and said with emotion, "It's really strange. Now that His Majesty has made up his mind, the common people have nothing to say and say goodbye!"
After that, he slowly turned around and prepared to leave. When he left, his face still had a look of disappointment and regret.
"laugh!"
Kankan took a step forward, and suddenly there was the sound of a weapon piercing flesh from below, followed by the screams of Suzaku and others.
The corners of Huo Bai's mouth rose slightly, as if he had expected it, and he turned around and looked down.
But he saw Li Jiuye's face was full of disbelief, and blood was gurgling from the corner of his mouth, gathering into a thick red line.
A sharp dagger was thrust into his back and out of his chest, piercing the old emperor's heart.
And the one holding the dagger was none other than his biological son, Li Yan!
