Wei Jiuzhao has been firmly suppressed by the imperial guards, and the court is in a state of panic.

Yunshui and Mushan quietly landed outside the hall.

The long sword was drawn and he was about to sneak into the hall with a quick step.

……

"His Majesty."

"Wait a minute."

The next moment, Zhou Hui's pretentious voice was heard.

"This person is very useful!"

The imperial guards who were originally pressing on Wei Jiuzhao didn't know whether they should move for a moment, and they froze on the spot.

Even Wei Jiuzhao was slightly stunned and turned his head to look.

The hall was eerily quiet at this moment.

And in this quiet moment, Yang Longtan finally had the opportunity to show himself.

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

“Wait a minute—!”

Then, Yang Longtan's mind suddenly went blank. He hadn't figured out what to say next...

As soon as the words came out, the air was dead silent.

Dozens of gazes fell on him, and he froze in place as if his acupoints had been pressed.

One foot was still on the imperial steps, neither high nor low, neither advancing nor retreating.

"What are you waiting for?"

The emperor seemed very curious about what this general, who had not spoken a word for half a year, wanted to say.

Yang Longtan's throat moved, and the expression on his face was hard to describe.

"I, I just mean...this...this person can't be killed..."

"Just kill him...he's dead."

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and his eyes twitched slightly.

"nonsense!"

The emperor cursed in a low voice and swung the dragon whisk in his hand.

Yang Longtan shrank his neck and subconsciously retracted the foot that had not yet stepped firmly.

The atmosphere in the hall froze for a moment, and the blades of the imperial guards were still pressed against Wei Jiuzhao's shoulders, ready to kill him as soon as the emperor gave the order.

However, the emperor did not give any order, but slowly turned his head and looked at the side where Zhou Hui was hidden.

"Taoist priest?"

"What's the matter?"

When the ministers heard the word "Taoist priest", their faces changed immediately.

"Master...Master?" someone repeated in a trembling voice.

"Could it be... the 'human blood sacrifice'... that person?"

The court officials were in an uproar!

"What? He's right here?!"

"How can a Taoist priest be worthy of attending court?!?"

"Don't talk nonsense! Taoist Priest Wei is highly regarded by His Majesty, what do you know?"

……

The emperor raised his hand and signaled his ministers to be silent.

"You said Wei Jiuzhao is useful?"

"What's the use?"

"Um……"

I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious, let me make up a story.

moment.

"Your Majesty, do you want Tianyan to prosper?"

"Do you want your dragon body to be healthier?"

"Do you want the people to live and work in peace and contentment?"

The tone of voice is neither hurried nor slow.

The emperor leaned back on the dragon throne, holding the armrests. As he listened to these words, his eyes flashed slightly, and then he smiled.

"That's inevitable."

"Throughout history, which emperor didn't want his country to prosper?"

"Who doesn't want to live forever?"

Zhou Hui nodded.

"Then this person will be of even greater use."

There was constant whispering in the hall, and no one understood what this "Wei Lin" was trying to do.

The emperor also frowned, obviously a little impatient with his roundabout rhetoric.

"what do you want to say in the end?"

Zhou Hui did not take any more detours and walked out directly from behind the gauze curtain, flicked his robe sleeves and bowed.

"To put it bluntly—"

"He is a rare person who can be worshipped in heaven once in a thousand years!"

"Sacrifice to heaven?"

"Don't you always use women?"

The emperor snorted.

Zhou Hui shook his head calmly.

"Your Majesty, it is a good idea to use a woman."

"But with this man's blood, it will be even better."

He turned and pointed at Wei Jiuzhao with a firm tone.

"Women are yin, and their blood is also yin. It's not that yin blood is bad, but blood with a single attribute is difficult to summon spirits and open phenomena."

"And this person, whose yang is extreme but not fierce, has a rare fate—he is someone who breaks yin and yang!"

"Heaven's will fills the void, and when yang reaches its extreme, yin is born. This is exactly what the 'Return to the Void' says: 'Neither yin nor yang, the split image becomes a spirit; when heaven and earth are in chaos, one person leads the way.'"

"Exorcise evil and avoid disaster, the dragon veins can be stabilized, and the people can live in peace!"

The emperor remained calm, his eyes fixed deeply on Wei Jiuzhao.

Seems to be considering,

Wei Jiuzhao's face turned pale when he heard this.

He blinked, his eyes filled with shock and anger.

What the hell are you doing!!!

I finally managed to get my emotions going!

As long as the dog emperor orders to kill me, King Ruyang’s men will come down to stop him!

When the time comes, we will make a quick decision with clang clang clang!

Then I can go back to my Kuoer!

Zhou Hui gave a very subtle wink, which probably meant.

"How about I turn the tide and save your life."

"Isn't he handsome?"

Suddenly.

"Your Majesty, you must not do this!"

Finally, a voice of intolerance exploded in the crowd.

It was the Imperial Counselor Guo Bin.

He knelt down tremblingly, his voice hoarse but resounding.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please think twice!"

"This Wei Jiuzhao is a powerful official of Tianyan!"

"From ancient times to the present, the practice of using women to offer sacrifices to heaven can be traced back to ancient times, but..."

"But Your Majesty, have you ever heard of any dynasty using powerful officials to offer sacrifices to the heavens?!"

"Ridiculous! Absurd indeed!"

When Guo Bin was moved, his beard trembled a few times, his face turned red, and he almost burst into tears.

He was not afraid of Wei Jiuzhao's death, he was afraid that once this trend started, who would be able to protect the entire court in the future?

The emperor did not rush to express his opinion, but just raised his eyebrows.

To be honest, the person he hates the most is Guo Bin.

This old man is very nagging. He impeaches people every few days, submits memorials to him every day, and makes suggestions every day.

The Counselor was not a high-ranking official, but his status was high.

Strike him? Difficult.

Hitting him? Even harder.

He was just about to laugh it off when Zhou Hui spoke first.

How could we miss such an opportunity to disrupt the situation?

"What happened to the powerful official?"

"Aren't powerful officials human beings?"

"Does the powerful official have no blood?"

"As long as there is blood, it can be offered to the heavens!"

He turned to look at Guo Bin, his tone tinged with sarcasm.

"Why, you old man also want to contribute to the prosperity of Tianyan?"

This sentence is too poisonous.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense.

Guo Bin's face flushed.

"You, you, you! You monster, you're talking nonsense!"

"I'm putting this out here today!"

"If Lord Wei is really to be sacrificed, then shouldn't it be His Majesty himself who will be next?!
