For the entire morning, Ling Ping'an fought in the canyon.
He looked down on everything and was successful in every endeavor.
This outstanding battle record and wonderful operation naturally attracted the attention of some people.
Slowly, he could always receive private messages from teams of all sizes in his mailbox.
Without exception, they all invited him to try out.
However, Ling Ping'an rejected all of them and turned off the private message.
The reason was very simple. Playing games was a hobby.
If a hobby became a job and a profession, then a hobby would change.
Besides, a profession was very hard.
Just look at those office workers. They worked from nine to five, day and night.
There were also leaders watching over them. If they made a mistake, they might be reprimanded.
He lived his life happily. Why should he suffer from others' anger and look at others' faces for a few stinky money?
Tao Yuanming would not bend over for five buckets of rice.
Ling Ping'an would not suffer for money either.
He did not lack money to spend!
Putting down his phone, Ling Ping'an brewed himself a cup of fragrant tea.
Then, he gave a small cup to the kitten, Bastet. The man and the cat drank the tea happily at the counter.
"I won't play games in the afternoon!" Ling Ping'an thought, "I'll do a good job with the new book..."
After deleting one opening after another in the past two days, Ling Ping'an almost had some ideas.
This time, he decided to write about the king of soldiers in the city.
… …
Liu Gu raised his head and looked at his father.
The current Emperor of Xinghan was the guardian and protector of the Xinghan Temple.
The representative of the Black Dragon Emperor in this world was already very old.
More than ten years ago, the kings of the same surname in the south started a rebellion under the instigation of the believers of Tzeentch.
The soldiers pointed straight at Chang'an.
In the end, although the rebellion was extinguished by the cooperation of General Zhou Yafu and King Liang.
However, the Emperor suffered serious internal injuries from then on.
Even if he won the battle of dragon blood, it would be a pyrrhic victory.
That battle caused seven or eight pieces of the Lord God Tablet in the temple to shatter.
Xinghan's vitality was greatly damaged.
Some of these injuries also directly appeared on the Emperor himself, causing him to suffer from serious illnesses and his lifespan to be greatly reduced!
"Son!" Although the old Emperor's dragon blood was exhausted, he still had enough power.
Although he was just lying there, his dragon might still filled the palace at all times.
"Father!" Liu Zhi knelt in front of his father\'s bed. "I\'m back!"
"It's good that you're back!" The old emperor looked at his heir affectionately. "It's good that you're back!"
"I just met your aunt..." the old Emperor sat up and held Liu Zhi's hand. "She came to plead for mercy!"
Anger appeared in Liu Zhi's eyes, but he immediately lowered his eyes. "Son, listen to father's arrangements!"
The old emperor nodded in satisfaction. "My son has grown up!"
He said to himself, "My body can't hold on for much longer. I have to return to the temple and meet with Great Ancestor and Taizong …"
The souls of the past emperors of the Xinghan Dynasty would enter the main temple after their deaths.
He would continue to bless and protect this country, and at the critical moment, he could bow down to the crown that was enshrined in the temple and fight for this country.
However, every time they showed their divinity, they would inevitably consume the vitality of the country and their own souls.
Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary, the ancestors and generals worshiped in the temple would not appear.
The rebellion more than ten years ago had already greatly damaged the vitality of the country.
Liu Zhi understood what his father meant. Now, he needed to endure and lie low.
"When the time comes!" The old Emperor looked at his son, the future heir, and said, "You still have to rely on your aunt. Let her go to Changle Palace and deal with the Empress Dowager!"
"Then let the Empress Dowager support you!"
"I understand!" Liu Zhi said calmly, "Everything is for the country and the world!"
"That's good, that's good..." the old Emperor stroked the crown on his son's head with great relief. He didn't ask how Liu Zhi escaped.
Because there was no need.
The royal family of Xinghan had always been like this.
They didn't ask about the process, they only looked at the result.
… …
Walking out of his father's bedroom, a few panda-men guards immediately followed.
The panda-men were the most trusted personal guards of the royal family in this land since ancient times.
For thousands of years, they had also used their loyalty to prove their reliability.
Just like last night when Liu Zhi was assassinated, the eighteen panda-men guards who protected him all died in battle!
"Your Highness..."
"Your Highness..." Liu Zhi had just walked down the steps when a voice that made him vomit came from behind him.
He turned around and revealed an extremely gentle and kind smile. "Zhang Huangmen... Long time no see..."
The person who came was his mother's personal eunuch, the assistant minister of the Huangmen, Zhang Xian.
A standard believer of Tzeentch.
Starting from the ancestral dragon, these believers of Tzeentch had been like fish in water in the palace.
Especially the concubines in the harem, they all trusted and relied on their plans.
After all, there was no place more suitable for playing tricks and plotting than the harem.
The concubines in the harem were a huge market!
Zhang Xian narrowed his eyes and walked in front of Liu Zhi. He knelt down and kowtowed. "I pay my respects to Your Highness the Crown Prince again!"
"Your Highness..." he raised his head and said with a smile, "Her Majesty the Empress ordered me to bring a servant to apologize to Your Highness!"
"Your Highness, please give Her Majesty the Empress some face and mercifully receive this servant!"
"Listen to what this dog said... It's not too late to be angry..."
Of course, Liu Zhi knew who would come.
It must be the leader of the ratmen who tried to assassinate him last night.
These dirty rats had relied on bribing the current empress dowager and Taizong's most favored concubines to obtain Taizong's permission to obtain a piece of territory in Guyuan.
Therefore, these rats had always had a good relationship with the concubines in the palace.
Therefore, Liu Zhi was not angry. He even smiled and said calmly, "Since it's Zhang Huangmen's recommendation, I'm willing to listen!"
A moment later, an old ratman stumbled in front of Liu Zhi.
He knelt down with a thud. "The ignorant and vulgar ratman Essien from afar pays his respects to the honorable Crown Prince of the Milky Way Empire, the future guardian and protector of the temple!"
As he spoke, he kowtowed. "This lowly one deserves to die. This ratman deserves to die!"
"This lowly one has failed to teach and discipline. He actually allowed some ignorant, stupid, and daring bastards to assassinate you under the instigation of others..."
"This lowly one and the ratmen all know that this is a capital crime that cannot be forgiven even if they die ten thousand times..."
"But without your punishment, Your Highness... this lowly one and all the ratmen did not dare to end their lives, lest they tarnish Your Highness' benevolence..."
"Therefore, I acted on my own. This lowly one has already killed those stupid dogs who were used and bewitched by others..."
As it spoke, someone brought boxes to Liu Zhi.
The boxes were opened, revealing the tanned heads of the ratmen.
Liu Zhi listened to these words and looked at the heads.
The anger and dissatisfaction in his heart surged like never before.
He felt insulted, offended, and underestimated.
However, he hid these emotions very well.
He even hoped that others would think of him as a rash and gullible person.
After what happened last night, the crown prince of Xinghan had grown up.
Therefore, he smiled and personally went forward to help the old ratman up. "I know the loyalty of the Essien clan!"
"Mother, aunt, and the empress dowager have told me more than once that the ratmen of Essien have contributed to the country..."
"So, old sir, you don't have to blame yourself..."
"Since these sinners are already dead... let's leave this matter as it is..."
"I will send someone to cancel the arrest and punishment of the Essien clan..."
"Thank you, Your Highness!" The ratman's face was covered in tears. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed again.
Liu Zhi helped him up again and comforted, "Old sir, don't worry too much..."
"When you go back, tell the clan that I and the entire Xinghan Empire will not blame them..."
"Let them not feel burdened and continue to serve the Xinghan Empire and the ancestral temple!"
This was a bitter fruit that he had to swallow!
Liu Zhi knew very well that his current strength was not enough.
He had to endure!
He could only endure!
But …
"I won't tolerate you for too long..." he touched the Ancestral Dragon's handwritten notes in his sleeve.
He would immediately start manufacturing and producing the terracotta army according to the notes in the book.
Once the number of armies reached a certain level …
It was the time for him to take revenge!
