"When a general is out in the field, he can't obey the orders of the emperor. The war is imminent and I can't be distracted. I won't go back for the time being. When the war is over, I will go back personally to ask for punishment. Now, if you want to take me away, you can only take my corpse. You can either kill me or let me command the two armies!" Sima Changkong gritted his teeth and said coldly.
Sima Changkong knew that as long as he went back, he would become a zombie.
As for his family, as long as he didn't betray them, they would be safe. It didn't matter if he went back or not.
Ao Sheng smiled coldly: "Sir Sima, you must be joking. His Majesty's order trumps everything. You've already given away 70 cities. Why would you care about this war?"
As he spoke, Ao Sheng waved his hand.
"Boom!"
A gust of wind rushed into the hall.
Sima Changkong's expression changed. He knew that things weren't looking good for him, but Ao Sheng's strength was too strong after all. He appeared in front of Sima Changkong almost instantaneously and reached out to seal Sima Changkong's cultivation.
"Stop!" The generals in the hall shouted angrily.
"His Majesty's Nine Dragons Gold Medallion is here. Seeing the medallion is like seeing His Majesty. Are you rebelling?" Ao Sheng glared.
The officials' faces darkened.
"Don't worry. Sima Changkong will be back in at most six hours. Wait!" Ao Sheng said coldly.
"Sir!" The officials looked at Sima Changkong anxiously.
However, Sima Changkong's cultivation was sealed and he couldn't make a sound. His expression was terrible.
Ao Sheng didn't waste any time. He held Sima Changkong and rushed into the sky.
"Whoosh!"
In an instant, he turned into a stream of light and shot toward the north.
Sima Changkong looked regretful as he was held under the armpit. Why did His Majesty become so impatient? He promised not to turn me into a zombie. Why did he do it?
Was he blind? Had he misjudged Takeshi Ryūshin?
Sima Changkong felt a sense of regret. He regretted betting everything on Takeshi Ryūshin.
Silver Moon City, in one of Gu Hai's shops.
Ao Shun stood under the eaves and watched as Ao Sheng flew away with Sima Changkong. He sneered, "Inform His Majesty that the fish has taken the bait!"
"Yes!" A person behind him replied respectfully.
With that said, Ao Shun immediately turned into a stream of light and chased after him.
Outside Silver Moon City, Ao Shun soon arrived at Ao Sheng's place.
Boom!
In an instant, Ao Shun stood in front of Ao Sheng.
"Hmm? Ao Shun, why are you here? Weren't you ordered by Gu Hai to subdue the North Sea Dragon Tribe? "Ao Sheng's expression changed as he said angrily.
Gu Hai had arranged for Ao Shun to rescue the North Sea Dragon Tribe. However, if he didn't say so in the imperial court, how could the Great Emperor Dynasty let down their guard against Ao Shun?
As expected, Ao Shun's appearance caused Ao Sheng's expression to change.
"Leave Sima Changkong behind. His Majesty wants him!" Ao Shun said coldly.
Sima Changkong, who was sandwiched under his body, suddenly had a dark expression.
Ao Shun was here? Then, everything that happened before was a trap that Gu Hai set for him?
"It seems that His Majesty guessed correctly. Sima Changkong, there is indeed something wrong with you!" Ao Sheng looked coldly at Sima Changkong.
"Wu, wu, wu!" Sima Changkong tried to speak but couldn't make a sound.
"Pa!" Ao Sheng immediately slapped Sima Changkong's back. Sima Changkong immediately opened his mouth.
"I was tricked by Gu Hai. Ao Sheng, don't slander me!" Sima Changkong immediately rebuked.
Ao Sheng frowned and looked coldly at Ao Shun.
"Sima Changkong did not betray the Great Wu Empire. It's just that His Majesty is thirsty for talents, so he sent me here to invite Lord Sima. Ao Sheng, let him go!" Ao Shun said coldly.
Although Ao Shun said so, Ao Sheng still suspected Sima Changkong.
"Hmph, let him go? You must be joking. If you have the ability, kill him! "Ao Sheng sneered.
"Ao Sheng!" Sima Changkong glared angrily.
"Do you think it's enough to stop me with him? Although His Majesty is thirsty for talents, he is still not a subject of the Dahan. So what if I kill him? At most, I will be reprimanded by His Majesty. "Ao Shun slapped at him.
When the slap came, Ao Sheng's expression changed and he quickly retreated.
"Boom!"
The slap hit nothing.
At this moment, Silver Moon City seemed to have noticed the abnormality and a few soldiers rushed over.
"Protect Sima Changkong and inform His Majesty!" Ao Sheng threw Sima Changkong over and rushed toward Ao Shun at the same time.
"Boom!"
Ao Shun and Ao Sheng collided and formed a huge airflow. The two powerful people suddenly started fighting.
"Sir!" A group of soldiers rushed toward Sima Changkong.
However, at this moment, Sima Changkong seemed to be pulled into the forest by a strange force.
"Not good, quickly save Milord!" A group of soldiers immediately rushed into the forest, but Sima Changkong had already disappeared.
In a valley.
Sima Changkong landed on a big rock and a man in a black Taoist robe stood in front of him.
"Mosquito Daoren?" Sima Changkong was surprised.
It was Mosquito Daoren who had dragged him into the forest.
Mosquito Daoren? Ao Shun? Gu Hai had planned this for a long time.
"Dahan Imperial Dynasty, Legio VI Commander, Mosquito Daoren, greets Mr. Sima!" Mosquito Daoren smiled.
"Hmph, since you have arrived at Silver Moon City long ago, why didn't you attack earlier?" Sima Changkong glared.
"That's right, as early as three days ago, I had already arrived at Silver Moon City and knew where Mr. Sima was. It was easy to catch you!" Mosquito Daoren smiled.
"Huh?" Sima Changkong's expression changed.
"However, His Majesty has decreed that we are not to be rude to Sir. We are not to coerce Sir, so we did not take action until just now, when Ao Sheng took Sir hostage, we saved him! "Mosquito Daoren smiled.
"Ha, hahahaha, Ao Sheng took action? This is all your fault! "Sima Changkong said with a gloomy expression.
"Sir, that's not right. When two armies fight, it's up to each other. His Majesty did send people to Wu Tian City to spread rumors, but didn't you also send spies to the Infinite Celestial Capital? As for the rest, it's all about strategy on the battlefield. It's up to each person's ability. It's fair and square, isn't it? "Mosquito Daoren smiled.
"Hmph!" Sima Changkong snorted coldly. He was speechless.
"His Majesty loves talents, so he has never coerced Sir. Today, I am here with His Majesty's sincerity to invite Sir to join the Dahan Imperial Dynasty and create great things together!" Mosquito Daoren Solemnly said.
"Join the Dahan Imperial Dynasty? Hahaha! "Sima Changkong smiled mockingly.
"Sir, why do you have to do this? Takeshi Ryūshin is suspicious of Sir. He even wants to turn you into a zombie. What are you reluctant to do? "Mosquito Daoren said with a smile.
"His Majesty is not what you say. His bearing is also not what you think!"
"Then why is he coercing you today?" Mosquito Daoren asked with a smile.
"Hmph, a disloyal subject. You want me to join the Dahan Imperial Dynasty? Impossible!"
"Sir, is it because your family is in Wu Tian City? We can do our best to save your family and people! "Mosquito Daoren said.
Sima Changkong's eyelids twitched as if he was tempted. However, he restrained himself and shook his head in the end. "This one is appreciated by Takeshi Ryūshin. A gentleman will die for his friend! I will not betray the country! "
"His Majesty knows about Sir's integrity and wants me to tell Sir that His Majesty cares more about Sir's integrity and responsibility to his people and family than Sir's intelligence. His Majesty says that the Dahan Imperial Dynasty is determined to obtain Sir!" Mosquito Daoren said.
However, Sima Changkong smiled coldly and said, "Determined to obtain? Is he going to forcefully kidnap me? "
"No, His Majesty said that he will wait until Sir is willing. He will not force Sir!" Mosquito Daoren said.
"Haha! Not forcing me? Then are you willing to let me leave? "Sima Changkong asked.
"Of course. If Sir is not willing to go with me, I will leave immediately. However, Sir should let me go back to explain, right? If His Majesty asks, how should I answer? What will it take for Sir to be willing to join my Dahan Imperial Dynasty? "Mosquito Daoren asked.
"Tell Gu Hai that unless I give up on Takeshi Ryūshin, it will never be possible!" Sima Changkong said coldly.
"Okay, I will tell him!" Mosquito Daoren said with a smile.
With that, Mosquito Daoren's figure flashed and disappeared.
Sima Changkong was slightly stunned. Mosquito Daoren really left?
"Sir, are you okay?" Immediately, a group of soldiers found Sima Changkong.
"I'm fine!" Sima Changkong said with a complicated expression.
"Sir, was that Mosquito Daoren?" A soldier's expression changed.
"Yes!" Sima Changkong's expression turned ugly. He understood that Mosquito Daoren had deliberately let others discover him. Was he framing him again?
"Sir, shall we return to Silver Moon City?" A soldier shouted.
Sima Changkong frowned as he looked at the battle between Ao Shun and Ao Sheng in the distance. After a moment of silence, he shook his head, "No, I will follow Ao Sheng back to Wu Tian City later!"
"Ah?"
"I want to see His Majesty and explain everything. Otherwise, everything in front of us will become more and more unclear," Sima Changkong said bitterly.
"But won't we be in danger if we stay here? Ao Shun and Mosquito Daoren are extremely strong people in Heavenly Palace. We …! "
"They will leave soon!" Sima Changkong said with a bitter smile.
Sure enough, there was a loud noise in the sky.
"Boom!"
Ao Shun and Ao Sheng suddenly separated in the void. Ao Shun walked away, leaving Ao Sheng alone with an ugly expression.
"Supreme Ao Sheng!" Sima Changkong shouted.
Ao Sheng, who was far away, narrowed his eyes and came close in an instant.
"Sima Changkong? What is going on? "Ao Sheng said coldly.
"I will follow you back to Wu Tian City! To see His Majesty! "Sima Changkong said with a bitter smile.
Now, he was more and more suspicious. Gu Hai's framing came wave after wave. He had no way to defend himself.
Continue to stay? It would only make His Majesty more suspicious. He could only go back and hope that his explanation could clear His Majesty's doubts.
"His Majesty is wise and bold, unlike the Crown Prince who haggles over every little thing. He will definitely understand me and convince His Majesty!" Sima Changkong said silently in his heart.
Ao Sheng once again brought Sima Changkong and flew quickly to the horizon. This time, there was no obstruction.
Wu Tian City, Upper Study Room.
"Bam!"
Takeshi Ryūshin slammed his palm on the table. He stared at the official in front of him.
"Your Majesty, that Mosquito Daoren only met with Lord Sima for a short while, …!" The official reported.
"Sima Changkong? Gu Hai? Ha, hahahahaha! "Takeshi Ryūshin's face darkened.
"Your Majesty, Takeshi Ryūshin will be back soon, you should ask him face to face! And when he becomes a zombie descendant, he will … "Liu Zhi said with a frown.
Long Shenwu nodded, suppressing the anger in his heart with a gloomy expression.
"Not good!" Liu Zhi's face suddenly darkened.
"What's wrong?"
"Sima Changkong's wife wants to escape with his son?" Liu Zhi's ears twitched and his face darkened.
"Take them and bring them here!" Takeshi Ryūshin said with a glare.
"Yes!"
