Why am I invincible again?

Chapter 853 Hopeless City (121)

He is a wise man, and his words are naturally persuasive. Ordinary people can only listen and obey, but the emperor is not ordinary. He is the emperor who truly holds the right to speak.

"I've given her enough."

The emperor lowered his eyes and looked at the map in front of him. The positions and distances of the thirteen lines of defense on the border were clearly depicted on it. Now, the first line of defense has been marked with thick ink.

The old man took a rest slowly, his eyelids drooping and his tone flat.

"But she wants more."

The emperor's expression was not obvious, but there was a trace of deep coldness in his eyes.

These soldiers, rather than obeying the command of the country, might as well say they listened to Zhou Ye.

Even if they were taken back, these soldiers would not be of much use. Instead, they were hidden dangers around him, wounds that were about to inflame and fester, and had to be dug out in time, even if it would cause him pain for a while.

The current state is the best, the country is stable, the emperor is what the people want, and the people should not hang Zhou Ye's portrait at home. The emperor needs absolute majesty and power, and the people's heart is the most important.

Everything is for the good of the country.

The emperor silently recited these words in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, he picked up another piece of letter paper in his hand, which was a secret letter sent from the border express horse just yesterday.

The letter stated that those evil beasts were hovering on the edge of the first line of defense, and for a long time dared not step over the line that was sprinkled with the blood of soldiers.

The old man opened his eyelids to look at the letter paper in his hand, and said slowly beside him.

"This is the power of the heart. Faith is also a kind of thought. The power of thought is enough to continue to function after death."

The emperor does not believe in ghosts and gods.

But the content of the letter made him believe it.

"It's just a beast. After smelling the familiar smell of blood, I dare not approach it."

In eight years, Zhou Ye led that army to almost slaughter the evil beasts.

Human beings are afraid of these wild beasts that drink blood, and these beasts are also deeply afraid of these warriors who have killed them countless times.

The first line of defense has not been stationed by soldiers for nearly a month, but those stupid beasts still dare not cross this line.

Afraid of being killed.

Who is to blame?

Those of Zhou Ye, and those of the soldiers.

Sometimes it's not a good thing for subordinates to be too powerful. There are those common people who are as stupid as evil beasts. They have no independent opinions and admire power.

If it is not stopped, one day, Zhou Ye's influence in the hearts of the people will surpass that of the emperor.

Fortunately, the emperor was smart and alert, took precautions, and eliminated hidden dangers in the cradle.

Thinking of this, the emperor lightly waved his sleeves, and said to the captain of the guard waiting below.

"Action, be quick."

The captain of the guard in black armor clasped his fists in response, turned around and strode out, the palace door opened, the old man looked at the departing figure of the captain of the guard, and let out a long sigh.

"Then how do you explain to the families of those people?"

The emperor slowly opened the scroll in his hand without raising his head.

"Thousands of people will die in every war. There is nothing to do. Give some money and comfort."

After finishing speaking, the emperor raised his eyes, as if he remembered something ordinary, and asked a casual question.

"I heard that you recently had a pair of twin grandchildren. How is it? Did you name it?"

The two talked about these things, as if they were talking about family affairs.

The old man shook his head.

"I haven't named it yet, but I'm just waiting for some good days. If His Majesty is willing to reward the name, it will be a blessing for those two children."

The emperor seems to be in a very happy mood today.
