Chapter 44 The Secret of the Temple.
Ang Lee recalled a movie called "A City Full of Chrysanthemums" in which Jay Chou starred in his previous life.
Among them, Fa Ge said this line: This world belongs to me. It is yours only when I give it to you. If I don’t give it to you, you can’t snatch it away!
I sighed slightly, thinking that I had killed the conversation again, but you can't just give me an official position and let me have it for free, right?
He drove away the thoughts in his mind and replied loudly: "If Your Majesty doesn't give it to me, I naturally can't take it away." After a pause, Li An organized his words and thought that it was still relatively tactful and appropriate: "But, I will find something else to make up for what I got in return."
The tone is sincere and touching!
Calling the system in his heart, Li An was ready to take action for the second time today.
Emperor Qing was also gradually developing murderous intent at this time, but he still appeared to be kind on the surface and nothing could be seen.
"My dear minister, you have solved my doubts, so of course you will be rewarded! Later, I will issue an order to reward you generously. How about fertile land, beautiful concubines, gold, silver, and jewelry? Everything you need! Now, my dear minister, can you tell me?"
"Your Majesty, I only want gold and silver, preferably silver notes!"
Even though he was Emperor Qing, his mind had already reached the highest level, his mentality was calm, and he was a peerless figure who remained calm even when faced with a mountain collapse. After hearing Li Ang's words, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, with a hint of anger.
"allow!"
Li An bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Then he straightened his clothes and said in a serious tone, "I believe Your Majesty has already had some understanding of the location of the temple after our first meeting."
Li An pointed to the door of the imperial study and gestured, "But the door of this temple cannot be touched by ordinary people." Then, he repeated to Emperor Qing what Sean said to Fan Xian in the original work.
"Then, can you enter it?"
"Of course you can. But this is my secret."
Emperor Qing nodded: "Continue."
"The real difficulty comes after entering the temple. There are guardians inside, and we must have great power to be able to take out the things inside." Li An said with certainty, looking like a charlatan.
"How powerful a force is needed to repel the guardian?"
"At least four masters." Li An said the most surprising words in the most casual tone.
Emperor Qing frowned tightly at this time. Even though the situation was so difficult, it did not shake his faith. Of course, he did not say anything about whether there were other ways to break into the temple, such as using the army.
He himself was a master, so he naturally knew that a place required at least four masters to enter. It would be useless to rely on the number of ordinary soldiers.
At this time, he thought of a possibility and asked Li An: "Can't we negotiate?"
Li An shook his head: "This is related to the ultimate secret of the temple. I will not tell you. Your Majesty, don't worry. Tell your Majesty the truth. This is another kind of knowledge. Even if I tell your Majesty, you will not understand it."
Li An told the truth, Emperor Qing would not live to see that time anyway.
Even if that time really comes, Emperor Qing will not be able to gather four masters. Although Ye Liuyun is a martial arts fanatic, he will never sincerely help Emperor Qing, not to mention the remaining two of the four masters, Si Gu Jian and Ku He. They have national hatred and family feuds with Emperor Qing, so how could they help Emperor Qing to destroy their own country?
As for the Emperor Qing training a Grandmaster himself, the people in the temple would not allow it. They already had the belief to prevent the birth of a Grandmaster. By then, the temple would stand on the opposite side of Qing State, and the only thing left would be the destruction of Qing State.
So, there is no solution to this problem.
As for Emperor Qing, he thought the same. Although Emperor Qing was one of the four great masters, he looked down on the great master the most. In his opinion, the great master level was too terrifying and seriously affected the balance of the world. He believed that if the great master did not exist, he could have unified the world long ago with his own talents.
Therefore, he would not do anything to train a master. This point coincided with the opinions of the people in the temple.
Emperor Qing lowered his head and fell into deep thought. Suddenly, Emperor Qing raised his head and asked Li An: "Do you know what is in there?"
Li An nodded and said, "Yes. They are endless resources, 'technology' beyond the dynasties of this world, and powerful weapons."
Although Li An did not explain what technology was, Emperor Qing, who heard the word for the first time, was able to understand its meaning.
It took a long time for Emperor Qing to digest the information he had heard from Li An. His expression was heavy, and no one knew what he was really thinking.
If only I could read minds! Li An thought to himself.
"I hope you won't spread what happened today!" Emperor Qing softened his tone and resumed the familiar address.
Is this because he is shocked by the news, or does he think I have extraordinary value? Maybe Emperor Qing is thinking, I haven't told you all the secrets, I still have some to keep. It just so happens that this also gives me a little time to develop.
Thinking about what he saw and heard in the palace today, Li An was also afraid.
There were no more than ten ninth-grade warriors in Kyoto, and there were three of them in the palace who were on guard against him. Add to that a master, and he was completely walking on a tightrope.
Not to mention Yan Xiaoyi, the top archer who has the potential to break through to the grandmaster level, let’s just talk about the eunuch chief Hong Sixiang. If I want to defeat him, I will have to put in a lot of effort!
Of course, it was not that Li An was self-deprecating or arrogant. If an ordinary person had Hong Sixiang's realm, he would have to pay a heavy price to win. But Hong Sixiang was a disabled person and was relatively old. Although he was at the peak of the ninth level, he would die if he fought with him.
But if these two attacked at the same time, he would have no chance of winning. Plus, there was also a Gong Dian raiding the camp, so the only option he had was to escape.
"I will naturally not tell anyone." Li An promised with a bow.
The main reason is that no one is qualified to know these things anymore, and even if they do, they will not be able to withstand Emperor Qing’s wrath.
He had to be more careful in the future and show his attitude of being in the business of making money. At the same time, he had to be on guard against Emperor Qing's old subordinates: Ye Chong, Ye Wan, Qin Ye and others.
Emperor Qing did not comment on Li An's words, but nodded: "The property will be delivered to your residence in the afternoon."
It was time to see the guests off, and Li An stood up.
"There is just one thing I want to remind you, sir."
Li An bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please give me some advice."
"There are all things in this world, and the operation of heaven and earth. Who can exhaust their secrets? There are some things that you can see through, but you can't reveal them. After all, not everything will work the way you think!"
"Thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty. I have no intention of getting involved in any fights. I will be more cautious in my future actions!"
Emperor Qing murmured, "This world belongs to me. Although you are of a noble origin, you still need to show respect. What do you think?"
What about me? Wait till I grow up.
But what he said was more from the heart: "Your Majesty is right."
"Go ahead, I won't keep you for lunch."
Emperor Qing began to see the guest off, then turned around and ignored Li An.
"My lord, resign!"
Seeing that Emperor Qing did not move, Li An raised his head, glanced at Hong Sixiang and Yan Xiaoyi, who looked like a gangster on the beam in the distance, turned around and returned the same way.
