Dragon's Origin

Chapter 424: Sleep Peacefully (Part 2)

Head Butler Li might have initially thought of using the excuse of not being able to find it, but Wang Sheng's words shut him up. This was something that had to be found, or he would have to exchange it for the royal family's top secrets.

Give a fake one? Head Butler Li wasn't that stupid. The cultivation of those in the Lao-Tzu Temple was definitely not much worse than their three old guardians. They would see through a fake at a glance. If they were to give a fake one and anger the Lao-Tzu Temple, what would be the concept of dozens of legendary peak experts who could easily enter the formation? At that time, it wouldn't be a question of whether the Emperor could sleep, but whether there was a place to sleep.

Wang Sheng very politely personally escorted Head Butler Li out of the Duke's manor. By the time he returned, the entire manor was already boiling.

The Marquis of Chang Sheng had become the Duke of Chang Sheng. Their own Marquis had become a Duke. The entire manor was honored. With a command from Mei'er, the entire manor celebrated. Before long, not only had the original Marquis manor become a sea of ​​joy, but even the Wang manor over there was also filled with laughter.

Everyone who saw Wang Sheng had "Congratulations, Duke!" and "Best wishes, Duke!" on their lips. Compared to the tense atmosphere in the entire capital, perhaps Wang Sheng's place was the only happy place!

Of course, there were actually many people who were equally happy. At least when the Emperor was trapped in the main hall, the two princes and more than a dozen confidant ministers who were trapped with the Emperor in the main hall were very happy.

However, even if they were extremely happy in their hearts, they did not dare to show it on their faces as directly as Wang Sheng. The Emperor was almost forced to abdicate by a rebellious minister. Although the Emperor was blessed in the end and the rebellious minister was captured, they also had the opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune. But after all, they were in the court and could not show it so obviously.

But smart people already knew how to read the wind. In just one day, officials visiting these two princes and a dozen important ministers had already lined up in an endless stream. Seeing that these people were about to rise to prominence, when would be a better time to add flowers to the brocade?

Some families were happy and some were sad. The meritorious officials were all very happy, but Head Butler Li had no sense of happiness at all, looking worried, rushing to the inner city of the imperial city to meet the Emperor.

After only a brief rest overnight, the Emperor had already gotten up early to handle government affairs, and was waiting for Head Butler Li to bring back news.

Head Butler Li returned, but his ugly face already said everything. The Emperor dismissed everyone else, leaving only the three great guardians, before letting Head Butler Li begin his report.

Facing the Emperor, Head Butler Li did not hide anything, and told everything that was discussed at Wang Sheng's mansion, including his intention to deceive the Emperor, and then knelt down to plead guilty. In terms of loyalty to the Emperor, no one did better than the three great guardians.

Hearing that Wang Sheng could actually come and go freely within the range of the array stone personally activated by Head Butler Li, the Emperor and the other two guardians all changed their expressions.

"Old Li, you were also afraid that I would worry, I forgive you!" The Emperor was the most calm and the first to recover. He first helped Head Butler Li up, and then pondered the meaning of what Wang Sheng said.

"I understand!" After a while, a smile appeared on the Emperor's face: "It seems that I will be able to sleep well in the future."

The three great guardians did not react for a while. How did the Emperor suddenly figure it out? This was not the Emperor pretending to be calm, but was really relaxed. With their cultivation, they could clearly feel that the Emperor's muscles had relaxed a lot.

Looking at the three guardians' confused faces, the Emperor couldn't help but laugh.

"If there is someone who can threaten you, what would you do?" The Emperor asked the three.

"Find a way to kill him." Head Butler Li replied without hesitation. The other two also nodded at the same time, everyone thinking similarly.

"What if there are two or three people?" The Emperor asked again.

"Same." Head Butler Li honestly replied. There was no essential difference between one person and two or three people.

"What if there are dozens or hundreds of people, and you can't kill them all?" The Emperor asked again.

"Then..." Head Butler Li suddenly didn't know what to say. Was this what the Emperor had figured out?

"When there are too many lice, they don't bite; when there are too many debts, you don't worry." The Emperor said with a chuckle, "Look at those ordinary people who are not in the mainstream, when have they worried about too many people being able to kill them and not being able to sleep? Besides, besides Wang Sheng and the Lao-Tzu Temple, aren't there others who can threaten me? Then wouldn't I not sleep in the future?"

The three thought about it and couldn't help but smile bitterly. This was really the truth. When there were too many people who could threaten them, what was the point of defense? Wouldn't the person who couldn't sleep because of this worry be as stupid as those who worried that the sky would fall and smash them?

Moreover, this group of experts from the Lao-Tzu Temple, in addition to being able to enter the formation silently, was not much more powerful than the powerful strength of the various vassal states. If you want to worry about the experts from the Lao-Tzu Temple, it is better to worry about which of the vassal states is unhappy and bring people to kill the capital. What is the difference in the result for the Emperor?

In the past, so many experts who could threaten the Emperor and the royal family could sleep. Now, after adding another group, and a group that was expected, the Emperor couldn't sleep?

"My greatest reliance is not any formation." The Emperor said very sincerely to his three guardian experts: "Whether it was in the past or this crisis, I actually relied on you. As long as you are here, I will be safe and sound, what am I worried about?"

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

Just a simple sentence made the three royal guardians almost burst into tears with gratitude. To be so relied upon by the Emperor, even if they were smashed to pieces, it would be difficult to repay the Emperor's kindness!

"I also want to thank Duke Chang Sheng, but it allows me to sleep peacefully." The Emperor said again with some emotion: "Old Zhou, go check, which of them also participated in wooing the Lao-Tzu Temple, first find a group of people who specifically handled the matter and send their heads to Duke Chang Sheng, tell him, the heads will also be sent over after the details are asked, allow them to live a few more days."

The 'them' in the Emperor's mouth referred to the First Prince and Fourth Prince who were implicated by the Second Prince this time. The Emperor's own sons, but the Emperor sentenced them to death without hesitation. There is no father and son in the royal family. When these guys were thinking about forcing the Emperor to abdicate, they had already doomed their failure to this end.

"Shen Lao, go check how that old guardian cultivated." The Emperor then ordered: "If you can find a cultivation method, study it carefully."

Thinking of his hesitation at the time, and Wang Sheng's decisiveness at the time, the Emperor was very helpless. How good would it be if the old guardian was alive and loyal to him? Unfortunately, this is impossible. After decades of not being loyal, it is impossible to switch to him at the moment of failure.

"What a pity!" The Emperor sighed, with infinite regret, and also a kind of rejoicing: "Finally, I can sleep peacefully!"
