By decree and pro

"Speaking of it, it's really funny." Usman looked up at the jade statue, and said with a self-mockery, "Since I was born, because of this 'good skin', I have incurred countless half-enemies, but among them The one who wants to kill me the most is my elder brother Dan Erman who has the same father and mother..."

Usman's soliloquy drifted away in the silent tomb, and no one could respond to him.

"Mother."

Usman took a step closer, his toes almost touching the mirror-like pool, "What did you do to me? Why did you avoid me as soon as you saw me? And... the 'I'm sorry' you said before you died ', what do you mean? Are you feeling guilty that you never cared for me? Or are you regretting... letting me be born?"

The statue still held its breath and did not reply to Usman.

Usman knew that his mother was full of puzzles, and only Brother Wang could walk into her heart.

With the sound of footsteps approaching, Usman suppressed the gloomy look on his face and looked at the person who came.

"Your Majesty, the elder priest is waiting for you."

"Understood." Usman nodded, and accompanied by Harigo, he went to the highest-level "Divination Hall".

A few streaks of red light shot out from the east like arrows, tearing apart the dark night, and everything under the curtain gradually turned red.

The elder priest Bai Mufa gazed at the fiery red cloud through the huge window engraved with 88 nebula maps, and sighed: "It hasn't rained, and it has been dry for three consecutive months, and the dust on this land is already so tired. Deep, how many lives will this coming sandstorm take away?"

"Will that lead to the subjugation of Xiliang?" Usman asked jokingly, pacing in the thin layer of sand.

The entire divination hall is covered with pure white fine sand, which glistens like shell powder.

In the middle of the fine sand of Yingbai fine sand is drawn a huge and ancient five-element map, including gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Each element is represented by a crystal ball carved into a skull. The crystal skull is lined with a white jade base with water on it. The gemstone is arched in the air by the water flow.

In the middle of the Five Elements Diagram, there is an obsidian sphere twice the size of the crystal head, on which stands a huge sharp-billed crow, which represents the "undead".

Every country has different techniques of divination and deduction. For example, Dayan has ancient coins, tortoise shells and even tea leaves, while Xiliang uses "spiritual divination".

Xiliang priests firmly believe that everything has its "spirit", gold, wood, water, fire and earth are elements, and the powerful power of elements comes from "spirit".

This method of divining the future and seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages through the spirits of all things in the world is much longer than the history of Xiliang Kingdom. No one can tell when it started. The oldest spirit Body divination records are 6000 years ago.

Usman would be so clear that the relationship between a priest tower and his mother was too deep, so he had to understand it.Second, as an emperor, he must understand the influence of theocracy on his rule.

Usman didn't want to be the mouthpiece of the Priest Tower, just like his mother, who couldn't say what he wanted to say for the rest of his life.

"It's not enough to subjugate the country." Bai Mufa is already eighty years old, but there are not many wrinkles on his face, and his skin is also very fair, no different from those people in their forties, except that his dark blue eyes sometimes see through. Emit the unique light of the elders.

That look of "I have eaten more salt than you have eaten" is really attractive and refined.

Usman was once curious about Bai Mufa's ability to keep his face. Bai Mufa said that because he borrowed from the dead, he survived to protect Xiliang, and he often accumulated the wisdom of the entire Western Region in Xiliang, so that he could not let it perish, etc. Talk about it.

What worries Bai Mufa most is that sandstorms have intensified in recent years, but are there still few ancient cities buried by sand overnight in the Western Regions?

But Usman believes that today is not what it used to be. Compared with the extremely primitive and tiny ancient cities of those ancestors, Xiliang already has mature construction technology and trade channels, and has also developed stone paint. A sandstorm is not enough to destroy Xiliang. cold.

On the contrary, it is the priest tower who controls the so-called "spirit of all things" and can guide public opinion, which is the real hidden danger in Xiliang.

Of course, Usman would not tell Baimufa his thoughts, and Baimufa also said that he could calculate the numerology of all things, but he could not be counted as the successor of "San Yu Zhaoxue"—that is, the numerology of Usman, the king of Xiliang. Fate belongs to destiny.

"Bai Mufa, old man, do you still remember that you made a bet with me when I was still young?" Usman stopped going around in circles, but asked directly, "You said back then that Dayan's national fortune was better than others?" The Xiliang mission is already in decline, and there will be great chaos within five years, but it has been so many years, this king sees that Emperor Dayan is alive and well, and there is still a tendency to rule the world?"

"Your Majesty, I don't dare to forget what I said before, and I remember betting with you, but..." Bai Mufa frowned

Said, "The old man never expected that Qinglu Kingdom's secret law of protecting the country "Wushuang Sword Jue" would be passed down in Dayan."

"What is "Wu Shuang Jian Jue"?" Usman raised his brows. Bai Mufa is not someone who makes excuses easily, and what he can mention must be the treasure.

"This "Wushuang Sword Art" is a sword manual handed down from ancient times, and it is a magic weapon passed down from generation to generation in the Qinglu Kingdom to protect the country. Apart from its own set of sharp swordsmanship that is unstoppable by gods and demons, it is also a thing with excellent luck. , You can change your fate against the sky. And since Qinglu destroyed the country, this sword formula has disappeared. At that time, the old man guessed that this sword formula should have been destroyed, so Qinglu’s national fortune plummeted. If you come back to life, you will know what happened."

"Is there such a mysterious thing in the world?" Usman expressed doubts, "How can a country's fate be rewritten by a sword manual?"

"Your Majesty doesn't know something. Ever since I found out that Dayan's fortune was changing as expected and it was unstoppable, I sent someone to Dayan to investigate carefully." Bai Mufa did not hide that he had a spy organization, and continued, "It turns out that the Princess of Qinglu Kingdom is becoming a big swallow. When Empress Yan, she secretly brought the national treasure "Wu Shuang Sword Jue" to Dayan. No wonder Qinglu died so quickly, and then Princess Qinglu gave this sword formula to her son Chunyu Huangye, who also taught the sword formula to him. The general Ke Weiqing he cultivated by himself, these two people are the opportunity for Dayan to change his luck."

"How long ago did this happen, and you just came to tell this king now?" Usman glared at him, and said in a very unhappy way, "Now Dayan's emperor is Chunyu Aiqing, don't you know that Dayan has changed emperor recently?" ?"

"I know that the reason why I didn't tell His Majesty before is because... His Majesty was also busy with some things at the time," Bai Mufa pointed out that Usman was busy fighting for the throne, and then said, "The horoscopes of Chunyu Huangye and Ke Weiqing can It is said that the sun and the moon are united into the jade, and the five stars are like pearls. This invincible momentum cannot be shaken by anyone, especially Ke Weiqing is the patriarch of the Wuque clan. There are not many ancient clans left to the present, and it is absolutely difficult to deal with people."

Bai Mufa did not tell Usman that his mother was a direct descendant of the Goddess Prophet, who was half-human and half-immortal in ancient times, but her mother failed to give birth to a daughter, and the lineage of the Goddess-Prophet was cut off in her generation.

"According to what you mean, Dayan can't move?" Usman also has the ambition to dominate the world, and his first goal is Dayan, the world's number one empire.

"No, Your Majesty, those two can't move, but their eldest son Chunyu Aiqing, although he inherited the Wuque bloodline, has not yet formed a climate. The old man thinks that the "Wu Shuang Jian Jue" must be on him..."

"You mean to let me take advantage of Dayan's renewal to get the "Wu Shuang Jian Jue"."

"Exactly." Bai Mufa smiled and nodded.

"What kind of baby can change the fate of the country, I want to see it with my own eyes." Usman smiled coldly, and suddenly said, "Saha."

A handsome young man in black suddenly appeared behind them and knelt down: "Your Majesty."

Bai Mufa was taken aback, he didn't realize that there were other people in the hall at all, the skill of concealment must be too deep.

"Did you hear what I said just now?"

"Yes."

"Let's do it then."

"Yes!"

"Wait." Usman suddenly stopped Saha.

"What else does your majesty order?"

"This king heard that Emperor Dayan grew up in a deep palace. He was inexperienced and innocent, so he was easy to get in touch with. But beside him, there is a very difficult general named Ruilai."

"It's Jing Tingrui, Your Majesty."

"Well, you go and get close to Chun Yuyan first."

"Chunyuyan?" Saha looked up, a little puzzled, "That's Emperor Dayan's second brother."

"Yes, Prince Yonghe, you said that Emperor Dayan loved him very much and allowed him to enter and exit the palace at will without notification, so it is easier to get the Wushuang Sword Art from him than from Jing Tingrui."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Saha withdrew after taking the order.

Bai Mufa was a little surprised. The "Priest Information Group" that had always made him smug didn't know that Emperor Dayan loved his younger brother very much. How did His Majesty know?

Wait, Bai Mufa suddenly realized that he was already behind Usman in collecting intelligence.

"What's wrong?" Usman suddenly showed a natural and harmless smile.

"Your Majesty is wise." Bai Mufa saluted, and suddenly thought, has Your Majesty been keeping an eye on the Priest Tower?

"Anyway, Bai Mufa, you've lost all your bets, so you can offer up any treasures you have." Usman laughed.

"Since the old man knew that he had lost the game, he has been looking for treasures worthy of the king every day," Bai Mufa said, "I happened to find it a few days ago."

"Oh, what is it?"

"The old man ordered someone to bring it here." Bai Mufa called out, "Harigo! Go and get the gift from your majesty."

After a while, Harigo was seen walking towards them carrying a small rabbit trap.

"Snow rabbit?" Usman looked at the cage curiously.

Inside is a group of small and medium rabbits, the fur is white and fluffy like a ball of wool.

"No, this is the orphan of the wolf king on Goddess Peak. The wolf king is old and was accidentally captured by the fighters, already..." Bai Mufa sighed, "How many ancient creatures died in that camp. "

"It was caught by the hunters and brought into the beast camp?" Usman took the rabbit trap and lifted it up to look at it. The white ball was wriggling, and it looked like it was about to wake up.

"That's right, they wanted to raise it and use it for fighting beasts. When we heard about it, we rushed over and bought it." Bai Mufa said, "It's a descendant of the wolf king. Hey, Your Majesty, don't put your hand in it, don't look at it's small size, it's still drinking milk, but it's powerful, it's already bitten a lot of people here."

"If you are locked in such a small cage, I would be angry if you were me. He is a wolf after all, not a rabbit." Usman immediately opened the rabbit cage, grabbed the soft nape of his neck, Take it out.

"Woohoo!" The little wolf went berserk in an instant, his tail puffed up, almost like a cat.

It's just that it's still a cub drinking milk. Usman didn't think it was scary, but instead smiled and said, "It's very lively."

"And this fang, although it's only a little bit, but it's white and bright, uh..." Usman said with a smile, "I'll call it 'Frost Fang'."

As soon as the name was given, Usman hugged the wolf cub into his arms. The little wolf grunted and gnawed on his arm for several bites before letting go, but miraculously, the little wolf did not bite Usman. Just left a puddle of saliva on the sleeve.

"It seems to like you." Bai Mufa said in surprise, the first few crow spirit warlocks who fed the little wolf were all scratched and bitten by it, so they had to be locked in a small cage.

"It is a new generation of wolf kings, and this king is the new king of Xiliang. Kings naturally fall in love with each other." Usman held it in his arms, and did not intend to let it go.

"Your Majesty, don't think the old man is nagging. Although this wolf is young, it should not be hugged too often. It is easy to form bad habits. When it grows up..."

"I know, I won't get used to it. Now that the gambling is over, I don't want to bother you, old man, so I'm going back." Usman held the little wolf in his arms and stroked it. With a small head, he said, "Shuangya, good boy...go back with me to drink camel milk."

"The minister waits to send you off respectfully."

……

"Thinking about it this way, Yan Yan, the elder priest is still your matchmaker. In another day, the king will have to bring some gifts to thank him." Usman smiled and was in a great mood.

Afraid of waking up Yan, who rarely had a good night's sleep, Usman controlled his hands and didn't do unnecessary things. He just sat by the bed and stared at Yan like a nympho.
