"Your subjects greet Your Majesty. Your Majesty, your subjects are useless. You've suffered!"
When the officials saw that familiar but pale face, they immediately knelt down in excitement. There were even faint cries of agitation in the crowd.
Shen Shao smiled. His gentle gaze swept across the crowd and finally landed on Xie Tian.
Because everyone was bowing down, only Xie Tian was in a daze.
"Xie Tian, after three years, you don't recognize me?"
The officials looked up and saw Xie Tian's silly expression. They immediately laughed. Shen Feng stepped forward and said with a smile, "Xie Tian, hurry up and greet His Majesty."
Xie Tian's body trembled. He instantly lowered his head and retracted his gaze from Shen Shao. His left knee landed on the ground, and his voice seemed to be trembling from excitement.
"Your subordinate, Xie Tian, greets Your Majesty!"
Shen Shao's smile became wider. He nodded and said, "Raise your head. Let me see the Xie Tian in three years."
Xie Tian remained silent.
"Haha, why, are you still shy?" Shen Shao laughed. Everyone laughed.
Xie Tian slowly raised his head.
Everyone was shocked.
Shen Feng was shocked.
Shen Shao was shocked.
Because Xie Tian was crying.
"Xie Tian, you …" Wu Shang turned around and saw Xie Tian's tears. He was shocked. "Why are you crying?"
This was also the question in everyone's mind.
The Divine Emperor coming out of seclusion and the Heavenly Sword Sect's submission. This was a great double blessing. Everyone was happy. Why would anyone cry?
Unless …
"Your Majesty, your subject understands." Mo Shaocong took a few steps forward and said with a smile, "His Majesty favors Xie Tian greatly, and Xie Tian admires His Majesty as well. After not seeing each other for three years, I couldn't help but cry when I saw you today."
Shen Feng also bowed to Shen Shao with a smile. "Father, I have spent more than a month with Xie Tian and know how much he misses you. Please forgive Xie Tian for his lack of manners."
Shen Shao smiled. "A soldier of the death camp actually cried in front of everyone. He deserves to be punished!"
Wu Shang was shocked and he rolled down from his wheelchair. He quickly cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, Xie Tian is not of age yet and has never participated in court discussions. Please redeem Xie Tian's lack of manners!"
"I haven't finished speaking. What are you doing?" Shen Shao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He scolded with a smile, "Fine. Since you are willing to meddle, I will punish you as well …"
Wu Shang became anxious. "Your Majesty, if you want to punish someone, punish Wu Shang alone. Xie Tian …"
Mo Shaocong couldn't hold it anymore. He smiled bitterly. "Lord Wu Shang, let His Majesty finish speaking."
"Finish?" Wu Shang glared with his left eye and scolded. "Do you have the guts to go against His Majesty's words?"
Fine, I can't afford to offend this fool! Mo Shaocong rubbed his nose and retreated. Shen Shao couldn't help but roll his eyes. He pointed at Wu Shang and scolded, "I punish the two of you to drink with me after the court discussion. You won't leave until you are drunk!"
"Ah?" Wu Shang was stunned. "Your Majesty, you are mistaken. This is not a punishment. This is a reward!"
The moment he said this, everyone roared with laughter. Shen Feng couldn't help but say, "Lord Wu Shang, Imperial Father is joking with Xie Tian. Can't you tell?"
After this incident, the relationship between the ruler and his subjects, which had been a little strained over the past few months, instantly became as good as before. Shen Shao also retracted his smile and said calmly, "The Heavenly Sword Sect's submission is a major matter of the Jin dynasty. Everyone, please speak freely."
The court discussion began. Xie Tian carried Wu Shang onto the wheelchair and joined the ranks of the officials. No one noticed. From start to finish, Xie Tian only said one sentence.
In reality, Xie Tian didn't want to say anything. However, he knew that if he didn't even say that sentence, his life would be in danger today.
In the hall, the important officials fought to speak, expressing their opinions. Xie Tian couldn't hear a single word.
He felt the coldness in the hall that had yet to dissipate. He felt as if the world around him was about to collapse, and Xie Ren's words echoed in his mind …
But no matter how many times it echoed, he didn't believe it! He couldn't believe it!
"Is, is it true?"
"Yes."
"How, how is it possible?"
"Nothing is impossible in the world …"
"Your Majesty is the God Emperor, the Prefecture Lord of the Central Plains, the most powerful man in the nine states! The most powerful man! "
"I used to dominate the world, but now I'm hiding in your body …"
…
Such a common conversation had taken place between Xie Tian and Dark Blade many times. The proud and aloof Dark Blade even used his own tragic experience as an example, but he still couldn't convince Xie Tian to believe it.
But Dark Blade also understood that the reason why Xie Tian didn't believe it was not because he couldn't understand his words, but because he didn't want to believe it.
"Your Majesty …"
Xie Tian wanted to cry, but he didn't dare to cry.
At this moment, what he wanted to do the most was to look at Shen Shao, but he didn't dare to.
He seemed to return to the state he was in when he held Yin Tian'er in the Ten Li Pavilion. He was extremely frightened and uneasy …
At that time, what made him uneasy was that Yin Tian'er was about to die, but the Mad Old Man was there to support him. But now, he was even more powerless, and he didn't dare to say what was in his heart …
Once he said it, he would definitely die, and the Jin Dynasty couldn't stop the wheels that were falling apart.
Xie Tian felt pain in his heart, and his mouth was filled with a thick taste of blood, but he had to try his best to keep calm.
He hated himself for feeling that extremely faint coldness. He hated that everyone was drunk, but he was the only one who noticed it!
"Could it be that I'm really the only one who noticed …?"
Xie Tian forced himself to be calm, and his bloody eyes swept across the people in the hall.
Shen Feng had a smile on his face, and his eyes were calm …
Shen Wei looked at Shen Shao with admiration …
White-haired Deity? He stood there calmly, as if he was in a trance …
The officials in the hall were either respectful, excited, impassioned, or silently listening to their colleagues …
The more Xie Tian looked, the more hopeless he felt. Finally, he looked at Wu Shang, who was his last hope.
But Wu Shang's left eye was filled with admiration, and the object of his admiration was Shen Shao, who almost made Xie Tian collapse.
"It's really just me …"
Xie Tian's throat moved, and just as he was about to swallow a mouthful of blood, he suddenly saw a pair of confused big eyes.
That pair of big eyes were filled with confusion, sorrow, and sorrow ….
But it gave Xie Tian, who was about to fall into the abyss of despair, a glimmer of hope.
"No, there's another person …"
This person was Shen Ji, who had been hiding in the back corridor of the hall.
I'm not alone, Xie Tian thought with some joy.
But after the joy, there was complete despair.
This was because the pure sorrow in those big eyes was like the cruelest blade in the world, slashing at his heart.
"Heh, the one who should be the most heartbroken should be Princess Shen Ji …"
Xie Tian lost the ability to think. Only when he sensed a pair of somewhat familiar eyes on him did he awaken from his fear and look at the owner of those eyes.
The Heaven Sword Elder.
The Heaven Sword Elder, who had just stepped into the hall, first glanced at Shen Shao, and then at the seemingly calm Xie Tian.
The smile in his eyes seemed even more gentle, respectful, and ingratiating to the others, but Xie Tian's hair stood on end!
Only now did he understand what the Heaven Sword Elder was relying on, and what the other was scheming.
"So, it's like this …"
The Heaven Sword Elder's humbleness and Shen Shao's prestige, the contrast between the two brewed unparalleled excitement among the officials.
This kind of excitement filled the solemn hall of the Jin Dynasty with cheers and laughter. But under the cheers and laughter, Xie Tian's cold heart.
"What should I do, what should I do …"
Xie Tian, who was not even sure if he should believe what the Dark Blade said, suddenly had a big jump in his mind, and directly came to the category of what he should do.
Then, a strong sense of powerlessness filled his whole body. Even when Xie Yun had sucked up all his Yuanyang and he was lying in the shabby house, he had not felt so powerless and desperate.
And what made Xie Tian even more desperate was that at this moment, six resounding voices sounded in the sky above Tianqi City.
"The Heaven Sword Sect has submitted to the Jin Dynasty. How can we miss such a big event?"
Han, Ning, Lan, Yun, Lei, the five Prefecture Lords, as well as the shadow of Dao Xu, all arrived.
