Someone seemed to have thought of something, but he was filled with shame at the moment, not daring to speak.
"Don't you want to speak? Do you know why he's so confident that we can give him what he wants? "the Emperor of Ziyou asked again.
Still, no one spoke.
"Forget it, there's no need for you to break the mystery. I know!" The Emperor of Ziyou said tiredly, "I know what he wants!"
The officials were silent. The room was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
"Supreme Cloud hopes that there's someone he can talk to."
The Emperor of Ziyou breathed in tiredness, his gaze deep. "I think that no one in the entire Empire of Ziyou is more qualified to talk to Supreme Cloud than I am! At least, to Supreme Cloud, that's the case! "
"Therefore, I've decided to go personally! I want to personally experience Supreme Cloud's extraordinary means! "
The Emperor of Ziyou said indifferently, "All of you can go as well, if you dare to go."
"Your Majesty, you mustn't! As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a collapsing wall! " An official stood up to stop him. "Supreme Cloud is cunning and has many dangerous tricks up his sleeves. Your Majesty, with your invaluable status, how can you put yourself in danger? You're thinking too highly of him! "
The Emperor of Ziyou said slowly, "Think highly of him? Hehe, just based on today's battle, I, think highly of him! Who in the entire Empire of Ziyou would dare say that they look down on Supreme Cloud? Even the entire Empire of Ziyou's citizens should worship this emperor! "
"As for the invaluable status, a gentleman does not stand under a collapsing wall, and so on …"
A hint of mockery hung at the corners of the Emperor of Ziyou's lips. "It's alright! Even if I'm killed by Supreme Cloud on the spot, I'll have no regrets! Just take it that the Empire of Ziyou has perished today! "
The words were too serious, too heavy.
"These officials have sinned!"
When the ministers heard this, they all knelt on the ground, their bodies trembling.
"Sinned?" His Majesty chuckled, wanting to say something but refrained from doing so.
"It's decided then. Everyone, go!" The Emperor of Ziyou said faintly, "Everyone here, especially the high officials of these noble families, go! Even one less won't do. A gentleman doesn't stand under a collapsing wall. You'd better not tarnish the reputation of a gentleman! "
His gaze was cold and eerie, full of killing intent. "If anyone doesn't go today, I will execute their entire family! Do you think I dare or not? Is it possible?! "
The officials originally wanted to persuade him again, but when they heard this, they all shuddered. Looking at the Emperor of Ziyou's murderous expression and the undisguised ferocity in his eyes, everyone knew that he was not joking.
"Regardless of life or death, we will definitely accompany Your Majesty!"
Everyone shouted in unison.
A mocking smile tugged at the corners of the Emperor of Ziyou's lips as he said, "As long as all of you go, I will be safe! In this world, who would be able to kill me in front of all my officials? "
"I am a hundred percent sure of this! Hahahaha … "
His last laugh was filled with sorrow.
At this moment, no one could understand what this ruler of a nation was feeling! Furthermore, no one knew that his heart had lost all hope and was filled with despair!
His heart had already turned completely cold!
As the saying went, the power of heaven was unpredictable! Accompanying a ruler was like accompanying a tiger! Rulers were all temperamental, and so on …
It was also said that the royal family had no kin, that the emperor was cold-blooded, that the ruler was arbitrary, and that he was alone …
There was also the saying, 'When the birds are all gone, the fine bow is hidden; when the cunning hare is dead, the hound is cooked …'
Countless emperors had disappointed their loyal officials, countless emperors had disappointed their loyal officials, and countless emperors had alienated their officials …
In spite of this, the Emperor of Ziyou could guarantee that throughout the history of all the emperors, there was probably no one who had felt as hopeless and chilled as he was right now.
Disheartened!
What would an ordinary person do when his heart was chilled?
What would a wealthy person do when his heart was chilled?
What would a loyal official and good general do when his heart was chilled?
There seemed to be people who had studied all of these before, because there were many similar cases in history books or life experiences.
However, if an emperor's heart was chilled … what would he do? What would he do?
No one seemed to have any experience or research on this, right?
He let out a self-deprecating laugh and walked out of the room.
The officials were speechless, and they followed suit.
Everyone was thinking about how they could salvage what had happened today. What should I do?
No one could imagine what the current Emperor of Ziyou could or would do.
For this Emperor, there was no such thing as' daring 'or' shouldn't '!
…
Outside the city, the Emperor of Ziyou stood there naturally, surrounded by troops and officials, as well as the personal guards they brought with them.
The mockery at the corner of the Emperor of Ziyou's lips deepened.
That's right, I'm not wrong at all.
Once their own safety was involved, wouldn't the Sword King, Saber King, Sword Saint, and Saber Saint all come?
Therefore, as long as all of my officials are by my side, no one in this world can kill me!
However, this reality made the emperor feel even more bitterly disappointed!
What my ministers care about the most is still their own lives, their own clans, and their own personal interests!
What country, mountains and rivers, common people, dominating the world …
That's my business!
This is my own business!
The Emperor of Ziyou stood on a high spot, facing the wind as he gazed into the distance. He suddenly realized that he yearned to meet Supreme Cloud – the legendary Supreme Cloud.
To Ziyou, to any nation other than Yutang, Supreme Cloud was an unmistakable devil!
In spite of this, he was Yutang's hero. What he had done was worthy of the word 'hero'!
Now, the Emperor of Ziyou thought that not only was Supreme Cloud a hero of Yutang, but his actions were also heroic in the eyes of any nation, even if it was an enemy!
Tens of thousands of people were gathered together, but it was silent. Flags fluttered in the wind, looking like a neat army with a majestic military aura.
Such a grand scene was waiting for the arrival of one person.
Yutang's Supreme Cloud!
The Supreme Cloud who had almost turned the entire Zilong City into ruins!
Supreme Cloud had yet to come.
An hour had passed.
Two hours had passed.
A long time had passed since the promised time.
The person who was supposed to come did not come.
"Your Majesty, let's go back. Supreme Cloud must have fled far away long ago. The so-called meeting is just a feint to attack the heart. "A minister stepped forward and said.
"Absolutely not!" The Emperor of Ziyou said confidently, "If you had said this, I wouldn't have come at all, because I disdain it. However, since Supreme Cloud has said it, he will definitely come. He will definitely come!"
This sentence made all the ministers choke and speechless.
What did he mean by you wouldn't come if we said it? Disdain it to come!
Did you believe Supreme Cloud's words just like that?
We've served you for so many years, is this what we get in return?
We've been Ziyou's officials for generations, is this what it's like? Even the most basic trust was gone?
"Your Majesty!" Lan Wuxin took two steps forward with his back hunched. Ever since Supreme Cloud's incident broke out, Lan Wuxin had never straightened his back. "Your Majesty, be careful with your words."
The Emperor of Ziyou's eyes glinted inexplicably as he said with a smile, "I know!"
He was harsh and sarcastic to those who had done nothing wrong, but to Lan Wuxin, who was the most guilty, he was kind and gentle!
This state of affairs displeased all the officials, their dissatisfaction growing.
What have we done?
If it wasn't for Lan Wuxin's meddling, would the current situation have come to this?
If it wasn't for Lan Wuxin, would half of Zilong City have been destroyed?
If it wasn't for Lan Wuxin, would a hundred thousand soldiers have been killed?
If it wasn't for Lan Wuxin …
Now that we're here, why is the culprit unscathed while we have to bear so much blame?
Your Majesty, isn't this too unfair? Aren't you being too biased?
For a moment, no one said anything, but the resentment in their hearts was already boiling.
…
Time passed quietly, but Supreme Cloud did not come.
Just as everyone was about to lose their patience, someone suddenly cried out, "What – what is that?"
Everyone turned to look at the same time, their expressions changing abruptly.
