"Sanniang, this is no joke!"
Zhou Shao carefully chose his words and persuaded him tactfully.
Yes, if we want Chen Duan to gain the upper hand in public opinion, we must concoct a miracle for him—
I am not rebelling, I am the emperor chosen by God!
My dispatch of troops is God's will, and I cannot defy God's will.
Many kings in history have done this.
Slaying a white snake, howling foxes, hiding books in fish bellies...
Anyway, they left everything to God and found a glorious name for their "rebellion".
It seems that by putting on this coat, they can become legitimate teachers.
It’s just that “miracles” are easy to fabricate, but what the hell is “falling from the sky”?
This is too difficult.
How can humans go to heaven?
How can it fly down from the sky?
I know that Gu Sanniang is smart, and I also know that she is definitely not an ordinary woman, but, but——
Zhou Shao just felt that Gu Qingcheng was talking nonsense and daydreaming.
Gu Qingcheng: ...
You will know whether it is true or not after trying it.
The evil spirit locked deep in its sea of consciousness shuddered, and suddenly had a bad premonition.
It seems that something is beyond its (the system's?) control.
No way!
The system has clearly been on high alert against Gu Qingcheng.
Also, I was staring at her.
She shouldn't have the chance to cause trouble.
Huoshui tried desperately to comfort himself.
However, the lessons learned from the previous mission world were so tragic.
The worry that is simply uncontrollable is the root of the disaster.
Soon, Huoshui discovered that his worries had come true—
“…Falling from the sky?”
"Did Ah Qing really say that?"
Chen Duan had already led his troops back to the suburbs of Beijing with hundreds of exceptions.
However, he hesitated for a moment:
Should we storm into the capital and seize the palace?
Or should I rush to the palace and take Chen Jing under my control?
Either option seems to make sense.
But no matter which one I choose, it seems not thoughtful enough.
Both the palace and Chen Jing are very important.
Chen Duan didn't know how to choose.
At this moment, the troops sent by Gu Qingcheng arrived.
Hearing that it was someone sent by Gu Qingcheng, Chen Duan was delighted: "Aqing is here so soon?"
It’s only been a few days!
Aqing must have been extremely anxious and traveled day and night to quickly reach Jiangling from Lingnan.
Alas, this silly woman is so reckless for him.
Afterwards, after listening to the report from the Gu family's troops, Chen Duan was shocked again.
He couldn't believe his ears at all, and checked again and again: "Aqing said 'falling from the sky'?"
How is this possible?
He is not a bird, nor a god, so how can he fly down from the sky?
“This is not a joke!”
Chen Duan instinctively refuted.
But soon, he thought that Aqing was not a frivolous person who spoke without thinking.
Although she is a woman, she is extremely intelligent and talented.
If she says it, she will definitely do it.
Just like before, who could have thought that Aqing could bypass the land route, open up a route directly on the sea, and use treasure ships to transport food and fodder?
Gu Qingcheng used her past battle record to successfully gain Chen Duan's mysterious trust.
No matter how horrifying what was going to happen next, Chen Duan instinctively believed it.
"Is this the thing?"
When he arrived in the wild and saw the big guy brought by the Gu family's troops, Chen Duan was both curious and surprised.
He walked around the big guy and couldn't help but reach out to touch and pull it. It felt heavy and had quite a bit of force in his hands.
It seems quite reliable.
All the confidants: ...No way!
This thing looked strange, they had never seen it before.
Our prince's status is precious, how can we take risks easily?
"Reporting to Your Highness, this item was secretly crafted by Sanniang and took two years to complete."
"Your Highness, please rest assured. This item has been through several rounds of experiments. As long as it is handled properly, there will be no danger."
"Sanniang not only sent this item, but also brought a skilled craftsman to work with it."
"Sanniang also instructed that to ensure His Highness's safety, we can conduct another test."
"Or..." You don't have to go up there yourself, just put some tokens representing King Liang and let them fall from the sky!
The soldier did not say the rest of the words, but the meaning was already expressed.
Chen Duan remained silent, with no expression on his face.
He fell into deep thought, repeatedly weighing the pros and cons of the matter in his mind.
Chen Duan's confidants knew their master very well. When they saw his expression, they knew that he was moved.
"Master, no!"
"A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. You must not take risks lightly."
"Your Highness, we know that Sanniang is doing this for your own good. She has painstakingly planned this so that you can have a legitimate reputation, but, but -" If anything unexpected happens and the person is gone, what is the point of having a reputation?
Traitors and rebels are actually nothing.
During the past two hundred years of the Southern Dynasties, dynasties changed and emperors took turns to rule.
Who isn't a traitor?
There is no need to put yourself in danger for a false reputation.
"Yes! Your Highness! I hope you will reconsider!"
Everyone knelt down together, begging their master not to commit suicide.
Chen Duan still had a gloomy look on his face.
Is fame not important?
How can it not be important!
Chen Duan’s target was not just the Southern Dynasty, but the entire world.
