Ji Tiansheng raised his hand and waved the two heavily armored guards away. Then, he said, "With my status, I really don't need to curry favor with anyone. What do you think?"
"That's hard to say." Yan Li sneered.
Yang An's face darkened as he shouted sharply, "You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Aren't you looking down on His Majesty too much? It seems like I have to teach you a lesson."
Ji Zhiyuan raised his hand again and said indifferently, "Forget it, he's always been like this. He can't pretend anymore. You guys can leave first."
"This …"
"Don't worry, with his cultivation, he's still not my match. He can't harm me."
In a moment, the people in the inner hall had all left.
Of course, Yan Li knew that there were still guards in the dark, but he just couldn't sense them.
"I believe that with your intelligence, there's no way you don't know my intentions." Ji Tiansheng said indifferently.
"I really don't know." Yan Li pretended to be stupid.
He rolled his eyes and suddenly smiled evilly, "A man and a woman alone in a room. Even if nothing happens, aren't you afraid of rumors spreading? For example, you secretly falling in love with me or something. "
Ji Tiansheng seemed to frown, and then thought for a moment. Just as Yan Li was about to continue teasing her, she suddenly stretched out her hand and reached over the tea set, all the way to Yan Li's side, and gently landed on the back of his hand.
"Huh?" Yan Li's expression instantly froze.
There were many meanings in covering the back of his hand with his palm. The most common ones were parents to their children and lovers to lovers.
Then what did Ji Tiansheng mean by this?
Yan Li had imagined countless scenarios. He had even thought of several strategies to save his life when swords and sabers were pointed at him. However, this kind of love confession was the only one that he could not imagine and caught him unprepared.
Moreover, with such initiative, thinking of her identity, wasn't it a blatant hint: Be my gigolo!
Of course, she was the emperor. If she agreed, it was very likely that she would be the empress, hmm, the male empress.
"What do you mean?" Yan Li asked blankly.
Ji Tiansheng seemed a little disappointed as he said, "I thought you understood. Why don't you understand?"
Her expression was natural and not fake. It was as if she had thought that the person she admired was very powerful, but after interacting with him, she realized that he was not as powerful as she had imagined.
Any man would not be able to endure it. They would probably do something to prove how powerful they were.
Yan Li was exasperated. "Of course I know what that means, but what exactly do you mean?"
Ji Tiansheng blinked his eyes and said unhurriedly, "Since you know what this means, why are you still asking? What exactly do you mean?"
"I …" Yan Li suddenly quivered and swallowed the words he wanted to say.
This woman was too scary. He almost fell for her tricks again!
However, thinking about it calmly, was there a need for her to play tricks?
Looking into her innocent eyes, Yan Li was a little dispirited. This woman seemed to be like this. She was not pretending, but he was led by the nose again and again. He really lost his composure.
You're just a woman, do you think I can't take you down?
"What I mean is, you have to feel it well."
Yan Li calmed himself down and the corners of his mouth curled up into a charming smile. He turned his palm over and held her hand. The smooth and soft touch caused his heart to ripple. He quickly restrained himself and gently scratched her palm with his fingers.
Ji Tiansheng's expression was a little strange, as if he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.
The education she had received since she was young made her unable to easily show her emotions on her face. This was called shrewdness.
However, no matter how shrewd she was, she couldn't resist the numbing itch from her body.
"It's so itchy!" She couldn't help but laugh. "What are you doing? Stop scratching, it's so annoying …"
So annoying!
Such coquettish words really shouldn't have come out of Ji Tiansheng's mouth.
Yan Li couldn't help but wonder if this person was Ji Tiansheng himself. Could it be someone in disguise?
With doubts in his heart, he stopped.
Ji Tiansheng smiled until his eyes narrowed and said like a child, "The books say that this is something that only couples do. Did I perform well?"
Yan Li wanted to probe further, but when she saw the coldness in the other party's eyes, she immediately came to a realization. She quietly let go of her hand and said, "The gentleness you weave is simply irresistible. However, it's enough to experience it once or twice. If you indulge in it in the end, it will definitely be very tragic. "
Ji Tiansheng was stunned for a moment before he slowly retracted his hand and said with a smile, "If I say that this gentleness is not out of reach, and that as long as you nod, I will be yours, would you believe me?"
Yan Li sneered, "I wonder how many portions of this gentleness can be divided into and given to different people?"
Ji Tiansheng's face immediately darkened, and her beautiful eyes revealed anger, "Do you think I am a fickle woman?"
"The Martial Emperor has three thousand beautiful men in his harem." Yan Li sneered, "As the Saint Emperor, it's not a big deal for you to follow suit. No one will criticize you, so why not?"
"I sympathize with you." Ji Tiansheng suddenly calmed down, "I don't know what kind of environment you grew up in to nurture your paranoia. It can be seen that you are not happy."
She took a deep look at Yan Li, "A person only has one heart. Once it is given to someone, it can never be taken back, and it is even more impossible to divide it. If it is divided, it is not love, but only possession …"
Yan Li's heart trembled, and the ideas that he had formed were strongly impacted. If it was someone else who said this, he would not feel anything. However, the person who said this controlled the life and death of hundreds of millions of people. As long as she opened her mouth, the most outstanding men in the world would rush over like a flock of ducks.
However, he did not notice the sadness and nostalgia in Ji Tiansheng's eyes when he said this.
He said in a low and hoarse voice, "You can't get what you want from me."
"Do you know what I want?" Ji Tiansheng asked indifferently.
Yan Li said in a low voice, "You want Yanshan Robber to work for you, and if Yanshan Robber refuses, you will join forces with Western Liang to destroy him. Am I right?"
Ji Tiansheng was startled and said with some surprise, "I expected that you have an important position in the Yanshan Robber, and I believe that my beauty is of some value. As one of the rewards for Yanshan Robber being recruited, aren't you tempted?"
"I am tempted, but Yanshan Robber will always be independent and free …" Yan Li shook his head slowly and firmly, "No one can control Yanshan Robber, no one! So I refuse. "
Ji Tiansheng said coldly, "If you don't work for me, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"You won't." Yan Li suddenly smiled, confident and arrogant.
"Oh?" His eyes were filled with killing intent, and the temperature in the hall dropped. The experts hiding in the dark were also ready to attack.
As an emperor, since he had already made the decision to burn the bridge after crossing the river, he would not hesitate at all.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, bad news …"
At this moment, a eunuch rushed in and said breathlessly, "The people of Western Liang have escaped, the people of Western Liang have escaped …"
Withdrawing his killing intent, Ji Tiansheng frowned and said, "Speak clearly!"
The eunuch's face was pale as he said, "Lu Xian was killed. Qin Guanyue thought that Your Majesty wanted to kill them, so he didn't listen to our explanation at all. He took everyone and broke through the city gates to kill his way out."
Boom!
Ji Tiansheng suddenly stood up, and the table in front of him shattered into pieces with a loud bang. The tea set, teacups, and other objects were even shattered into pieces. A terrifying force wantonly filled the air, and the entire hall was buzzing.
Yan Li was the first to bear the brunt of it. He felt so uncomfortable that he almost vomited blood. He used all his strength to barely sit still. The blood in his body was restless, but his heart was extremely carefree.
This was the second time he had fought with Ji Tiansheng. The other party had only been a little serious, and he had been completely defeated. However, his chessboard had never only gone straight.
The eunuch was scared silly. He trembled and said, "Your, Your Majesty, should we chase after them?"
Ji Tiansheng took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to cut the man in front of him into pieces. He said, "Pass down my order. The Military Council has come from afar, and the journey is arduous. The various counties should treat them with courtesy and not obstruct them."
"Yes!" The eunuch immediately left.
The corners of Yan Li's mouth rose slightly as he said, "Your Majesty is truly magnanimous."
"Yan Li!" Ji Tiansheng's eyes were sharp as he shouted angrily, "Do you really think that I don't dare to kill you?"
Yan Li stood up and leisurely walked out of the hall. "It's not that I don't dare, but I won't. After all, I'm more valuable alive than dead. Don't forget that we also set up a trap. Without me, this trap would never have succeeded."
When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and turned around with a face full of ridicule. "You're right that a person only has one heart, but I can already see that your heart has already been given to someone else. It's the owner of that tomb, right? You no longer have a heart, so what value do you have? You want to sell me cheaply? With all due respect, I don't have the habit of wearing the shoes of others. "
Ji Tiansheng was originally very angry, but when he heard the end, he powerlessly fell to the ground and muttered, "He died for me, but I don't even know his name. Do you know how sad I am?"
…
Bingzhou, Louyue County, Lonemoon Tower.
The first to fifth floors of Lonemoon Tower had seats of different grades. Those who wanted to buy information had to first spend money to eat here. The higher the floor, the more expensive it was. For example, a jar of ordinary bamboo green on the fifth floor was sold for 100 taels of silver, which was simply robbery. However, people still flocked like ducks because it was said that Madam Xiang would occasionally appear on the fifth floor to entertain guests, and the information bought on the fifth floor was the most complete and accurate.
The sixth and seventh floors were said to be the residence of Yan Shiyi and Madam Xiang, so they were forbidden areas. Those who dared to step into the forbidden areas were now corpses.
On this day, someone who was not afraid of death tried to break into the sixth floor while shouting, "Where is Yan Shiyi? Call him out, I want to see him!"
Her voice was clear, but it was full of domineering and insufferably arrogant.
More importantly, she was a woman.
Thus, countless people followed behind her, wanting to watch the show.
At the entrance to the fifth floor, Yuan Chengxi, who had been transferred back to Lonemoon Tower, smiled and stopped her, "This lady has a pair of bright eyes, why didn't you see the sign saying this road is closed?"
The girl was dressed in expensive silk clothes and looked to be in her early twenties. She was delicate and beautiful, but her expression was unbridled and arrogant. She said proudly, "I am Xiao Shiling, who are you to dare block my way?"
The crowd of people was immediately shocked and subconsciously took half a step back. "Chang, Chang Ping Xiao Clan's Xiao Shiling."
Xiao Shiling, a genius female swordsman, was said to hate evil and kill without batting an eye. The number of robbers and robbers she had killed was innumerable. Xiao Clan's ranking was only below Xiao Sibai, and now that Xiao Sibai was dead, she had become the successor.
Hearing this, Yuan Chengxi was in a dilemma, but he did not dare to disrespect her due to his duty. He said, "So it is Miss Xiao, your presence brings light to my humble dwelling. However, First Mister has already ordered that no one is allowed to enter the sixth floor without permission. Please do not make things difficult for me."
"Hmph!" Xiao Shiling said in a stern voice, "Bandits have harmed the world, they deserve to die. As a subordinate of bandits, you help the evildoer, you deserve to die even more. Go to hell!"
Just as the sword was about to flash, a chuckle suddenly came from the staircase, "Let her come up."
Yuan Chengxi's back was drenched in cold sweat as he hurriedly stepped out of the way.
Xiao Shiling sneered, sheathed her unsheathed sword again, and walked up.
As soon as she stepped into the sixth floor, she saw a purple haired man standing by the window with his hands behind his back, indifferently looking at the clouds and dogs.
"You, you are Yan Shiyi?" Xiao Shiling's heart skipped a beat. She felt that there was not a single part of this person's body that wasn't beautiful. She originally had no resistance to beautiful things, and her heart suddenly felt like a little deer was running. Her tone immediately softened, "I have long heard that Yan Shiyi is the world's most handsome man. Seeing him today, he truly lives up to his reputation …"
"You have come here because Xiao Yueming has something to say?" Yan Shiyi did not look at her.
"I, I …" Xiao Shiling stuttered. She could not say the words "I have come to crusade against you" no matter how hard she tried.
At this time, Yan Shiyi slowly turned his head. His chuckle filled the building, and his gaze was bewitching and enchanting, "Tell me why you have come, or die."
Their gazes met, causing Xiao Shiling's face to turn red with embarrassment. She suddenly gathered her courage and loudly said, "Be my man!"
Yan Shiyi's gaze stopped on her for a moment, then he turned his head and indifferently looked at the clouds and dogs: "I do not talk about love with people uglier than me."
