"That's right, it's a bet!" Zhong Shan smiled.
"What are we betting on?" Yi Yan asked calmly.
"We're betting on you and me!" Zhong Shan said calmly.
Yi Yan listened quietly.
"If I lose, I'm willing to serve Mister Yi Yan as a pawn for two hundred years," Zhong Shan said with a smile.
"Two hundred years? Yi Yan's lifespan is less than twenty years. How can you say two hundred years? "Yi Yan shook his head.
Many people knew Yi Yan's age, which was why Zhong Shan had dared to predict the lifespan of the Great Yu Empire.
"Haha, I said two hundred years, regardless of whether Mister Yi Yan lives or not!" Zhong Shan repeated.
Yi Yan's pupils shrank when he heard Zhong Shan's words. "If I die, would Mister Zhong Shan be willing to become the Viceroy of the Great Yu Empire?"
"Of course I'll do my best!" Zhong Shan said with absolute certainty.
The Great Yu Empire was Yi Yan's wish, so he was naturally excited. However, after receiving Zhong Shan's affirmation, Yi Yan calmed down instead.
"What if you win?" Yi Yan asked.
"Then Mister Yi Yan will serve under me as a pawn for two hundred years!" Zhong Shan said straightforwardly.
"Haha, Mister Zhong Shan is joking again. Yi Yan's lifespan was only twenty years at most. Because of the poison in his body, he might die prematurely at any time. How could he live for two hundred years? Do you think I, Mister Zhong Shan, want my ghost to help you? "Yi Yan shook his head and smiled.
"Haha, then I'll take Yi Yan's remaining lifespan!" Zhong Shan said.
Hearing Zhong Shan's words, Yi Yan frowned again. He stared at Zhong Shan, wondering what Zhong Shan was planning.
"What are we betting?" Yi Yan asked in a deep voice.
"Let's bet on the Great Yu Empire's lifespan. Ten years. In ten years, I will destroy the Great Yu Empire," Zhong Shan said with absolute certainty.
"What a joke, ten years? Twelve Linhai Cities is your greatest victory. Rumors say that you only used five months, but I think that you spent at least a year and a half planning this, and that's because of the Eastern Sea's dragons. Ten years? Great Yu still has more than 150 cities. Ten years? Impossible! "Yi Yan said in disbelief.
"Mister Yi Yan, there's one thing you didn't mention. The current Great Yu Imperial Dynasty doesn't just have more than 150 cities. It also has a person like you," Zhong Shan said with a smile.
Staring at Zhong Shan, how could Yi Yan believe this nonsense? Ten years? Ten years? Ten years?
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
However, Yi Yan wasn't a stubborn person, so he naturally didn't argue about whether it was possible or not. Instead, he thought about the gains and losses.
Ten years? Would he even be able to live for ten years? No matter how he looked at it, Zhong Shan was at a disadvantage in this bet. However, Yi Yan felt that there was some kind of conspiracy going on.
Ten years. No one dared to promise ten years. No, twenty years. No one dared to promise fifty years.
"Mister Yi Yan, what do you think? Do you dare to make this bet? "Zhong Shan smiled and said.
Staring at Zhong Shan, Yi Yan thought about it again and again, but he wasn't sure. He couldn't see any flaws in it. He also couldn't see any advantages for Zhong Shan.
Yi Yan shook his head and said, "Yes, why not? It's just that Mister Zhong Shan is at a disadvantage!"
"Haha, at a disadvantage? No, Zhong Shan is at a disadvantage! "Zhong Shan said.
After saying that, Zhong Shan flipped his hand and took out a small purple bottle.
Yi Yan was slightly puzzled.
Zhong Shan put the small bottle on Yi Yan's table.
"What's this?" Yi Yan frowned and said.
"Tianyuan Spirit Pill!" Zhong Shan said.
Tianyuan Spirit Pill, the strongest eighth-grade divine pill of the Great Pill Sect, the last one. It could allow Yi Yan, who was at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage, to quickly reach the Form Synthesis Stage and form a Primordial Spirit. Then, he could immediately expel the poison in his body.
"Tianyuan Spirit Pill?" Yi Yan's eyes widened with a look of surprise. At the same time, there was ecstasy in his eyes.
"Presumably, after you were poisoned, you tried countless methods. Although you couldn't achieve it, you still know about the Tianyuan Spirit Pill!" Zhong Shan smiled.
Taking a deep breath, Yi Yan was a little uncertain. He looked at the small bottle and didn't reach out his hand. This was because Yi Yan already believed Zhong Shan's words. Zhong Shan wouldn't use this to deceive him. Moreover, there was no need to.
"Are you so sure?" Yi Yan frowned and said.
"Yes, since Zhong Shan boasted, he naturally has the ability to do it. Since Mr. Yi Yan agreed to this bet, Zhong Shan naturally doesn't want to take advantage of you. After you recover, you can face the enemy with all your strength!" Zhong Shan said solemnly.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll break the contract?" Yi Yan stared at Zhong Shan and asked.
"I believe in your character. Some things are more important than your life. Otherwise, you wouldn't have stayed in the Great Yu Empire for so many years!" Zhong Shan said affirmatively.
Yi Yan put away the Tianyuan Spirit Pill and stood up gently. He bowed solemnly to Zhong Shan and said, "Okay, then I'll stay here for ten years! Let's wait and see! "
Zhong Shan stood up and returned the bow. "The heavens and earth are our witnesses!"
"The heavens and earth are our witnesses!" Yi Yan said.
With a wave of his hand, Tie Xue and his men came over. Zhi Huo also quickly flew over.
Yi Yan didn't say anything. He got on the palanquin and let Tie Xue and his men carry him away.
As for Zhong Shan, he took a deep breath and watched Yi Yan leave.
Ten years! How could Yi Yan let Zhong Shan do as he wished?
"They're gone!" Zhi Huo said.
"They're gone. Let's go too. Call Ah Da. Our time is tight!" Zhong Shan said solemnly.
"Uh. Yes! "Ah Da immediately said.
Above the white clouds. Ah Da carried Zhong Shan and Zhi Huo on his cloud and flew in a certain direction.
"Sir, we're not returning to Glory City?" Ah Da asked doubtfully.
"Not for now. Let's go to Great Mystery City first!" Zhong Shan said.
"Great Mystery City? Sir wants to meet the Great Mystery King? "Ah Da asked in surprise.
"That's right! I've already told the princess. She already knows! Don't worry! "Zhong Shan said with a smile.
"Yes!" Ah Da nodded in response.
Three months later.
Great Mystery City, City Lord's Mansion! Great Mystery King's study!
The Great Mystery King was discussing something with his advisors.
"My lord, according to the information, Yi Yan and Xiao Wang might have already met each other!" said one of the strategists.
"That's right. Your Highness, the next battle will be harder and harder to fight." Another advisor said.
"I heard that the Zhengyi King's side is progressing very smoothly. Your Highness, although we're facing two dynasties, the Emperor's support is the greatest. We can't fall behind." The previous advisor said.
"Harder and harder to fight? That Yi Yan's lifespan is at most twenty years. In another twenty years, the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty will definitely be defeated. "Another advisor said.
"Defeat isn't certain. It can only be said that the next twenty years will be difficult. After twenty years, who can guarantee that another Yi Yan won't appear in the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty?" The previous advisor shook his head.
"The Great Yu Imperial Dynasty is bound to be defeated. During the period when King Ju Lu dominated, Yi Yan lost the opportunity to reverse the situation. It won't be easy for him to change from passive to active. Moreover, his lifespan is limited. If he slowly exhausts it, the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty will be destroyed. Then, Daguang will be alone and will definitely be defeated. "Another advisor suddenly spoke up.
"Yes, that's right. However, we can't wait for too long!" The number one advisor suddenly said.
"That's right. The other three princes won't stop and wait for us. Is there a way to quickly defeat the enemy?" The Great Mystery King looked at the advisors and asked.
The advisors fell silent for a moment and shook their heads.
"Difficult!" The number one advisor said.
"Oh?" The Great Mystery King looked at him. Difficult, not impossible?
"From the looks of it, if we want to quickly destroy the two dynasties, we must have a strange move. It's a battle outside the battlefield!" The number one advisor said.
"A battle outside the battlefield?" The Great Mystery King looked at the number one advisor.
"Yes, it must be a battle outside the battlefield. It's just that I haven't thought of how to do it." The number one advisor shook his head and said.
"It doesn't matter. It's fine as long as there's a direction!" The Great Mystery King said with a smile.
Just as the Great Mystery King was conversing with the advisors, a person who looked like a steward walked in from a side room.
The steward was clearly someone the Great Mystery King trusted. The advisors didn't think much of it.
"Your Highness!" That steward said respectfully.
"What is it?" The Great Mystery King asked with a frown.
"Dongfang Hou Zhong Shan requests an audience outside!" the steward said respectfully.
"Zhong Shan?" The Great Mystery King said with a frown.
The advisors also looked at each other, their eyes filled with surprise. Finally, they focused their gazes on the Great Mystery King.
"How many people came?" The Great Mystery King asked.
"Including Zhong Shan, a total of three. As for the other two, one is Ah Da, and the other is Scorching Fire!" the steward said respectfully. Clearly, the situation of Zhong Shan's subordinates was no longer a secret long ago.
"Your Highness, Zhong Shan coming to visit, there must be something important!" the number one advisor opened his mouth and said.
"Mn, let Zhong Shan come in!" the Great Mystery King said with a nod.
"Yes!" The steward complied and went out. The advisors also stood properly one after another.
Zhong Shan arrived at the Great Mystery City. With Zhong Shan's identity, he was invited to wait below the City Lord Manor very quickly.
"You guys wait here in a while!" Zhong Shan said to Ah Da and Scorching Fire.
"Yes!" the two people answered.
"Dongfang Hou, His Highness invites you in!" that steward said to Zhong Shan with a smile.
"Thank you for the trouble!" Zhong Shan said with a nod.
"It's my duty, please!" the steward said with a smile.
Very soon, Zhong Shan flew onto the floating island and followed into a side hall. Circling around a bit, he walked into an inner chamber.
In the inner chamber, the four-pupiled Great Mystery King sat upright behind a desk. On both sides stood eight people dressed like Confucians. Everyone was looking at him quietly. The steward bowed and withdrew.
After a few years, looking at the Great Mystery King again, Zhong Shan still felt an oppressive aura. Those four eyes staring at people was like a boundless pressure pressing down on one's heart.
Taking a deep breath, Zhong Shan bowed and said, "This subordinate, Zhong Shan, pays respect to Your Highness!"
Looking at Zhong Shan, the Great Mystery King's expression turned solemn as he said, "Zhong Shan, why did you run back instead of facing the enemy at the front lines? Taking matters into your own hands, could it be that you didn't receive my military orders?"
Hearing the Great Mystery King's questioning, Zhong Shan did not have the slightest bit of fear, but said respectfully, "Reporting to Your Highness, this subordinate has important military intelligence to report. The importance of the military intelligence forced this subordinate to return personally!"
"Important military intelligence?" The Great Mystery King narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhong Shan. Military intelligence? How could there be military intelligence at the front lines that he did not know?
"Yes!" Zhong Shan said with incomparable certainty.
"Speak! If it's really as you say, I'll pardon you. If it's not as you say, then it's disobeying military orders and you'll be dealt with according to the Great Luo military law, "the Great Mystery King said with dignity.
However, Zhong Shan did not say anything. Instead, he looked at the strategists around him, looking like the military intelligence was important and must not be known by outsiders.
"They are all my trusted aides! Speak! "the Great Mystery King said.
"Yes!" Zhong Shan nodded.
"Your Highness, according to the information this subordinate has collected these few years, this subordinate boldly formulated a 'Sky Collapsing Plan.' It is estimated that within five years, the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty will be destroyed! Your Highness, please take a look! "Zhong Shan opened his mouth and said. Then, he took out a jade slip with a flip of his hand. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters.
