Chapter 521 – Who could it be?
Every day, every place, there was a story going on.
Everyone was the main character of their own lives, but it was definitely not someone else’s. Every story that goes on in every place of every day is the whole world. A person does not have elegance, does not have personal charm how to see? A simple sentence... Walk into someone else’s story and you’re still the main character, so this is the charm, this is the personal charm.
Da Xi, Jinling.
Holy Emperor Chen Wunuo felt his heart clogging up, so he once again changed into the clothes of an ordinary commoner and left the palace. He first followed the route that he was used to and went to the extremely ordinary inn to buy wine. Afterwards, he carried the two jugs of wine and walked towards the direction of the stone carvings of the previous generations of Saint Kings. Along the way, he looked at the people coming and going. As long as they were walking on the same street as him, most of them would be visiting the statues of the previous Sacred Emperors.
It was an honor.
These people are my people.
Chen Wunuo used to feel a sense of responsibility when he thought of this in the past, but he didn’t know when it started, but the sense of responsibility and pride gradually faded within his body. He felt that he might be becoming lazy, so he was more diligent in court matters. However, no matter how hard he worked, he found that this sense of responsibility and pride could not be recovered.
Then, a horrifying thought appeared in his mind … Could it be because I’ve been a Saint King for too long?
Many people get tired of doing the same thing for too long, even if it was something they loved to do. It’s just like eating roasted sweet potatoes, but eating them year after year for three meals a day. Sooner or later you will see them and even smell the sweet potatoes and want to vomit.
To him, this idea was undoubtedly terrifying.
He walked along the street, looking at the people, looking for the pride that had once belonged to him. However, after walking for a while, he felt that he was unable to find anything.
He stood in front of the statues of the Sacred Emperors from the previous generations, raising his head to look at them.
“In the future, I should build my sculpture higher.”
he muttered.
“It looks like I’m looking up to you, but I’ve already reached a height where I don’t need to look up to you. The reason why I am humble is because you are my parents and ancestors. Apart from the blood relationship, those achievements of yours no longer count for much to me. ”
Chen Wunuo still sprinkled some of the wine before carrying the remaining pot to the big rock that An Zheng once liked to sit on. He leaned on the big rock and drank the worthless wine.
“It doesn’t taste good.”
This was the first time he threw his unfinished wine to the side. He touched the big rock beside him and said, “Even now, I still don’t understand. Why do you like to drink such crude wine? With the status that I have given you, you can drink the best wine in the world. ”
He was stunned for a moment before realizing something. “That’s why you are the head of the Ming Fa Si and that’s why I am the Sacred Emperor. Of course, you know that the best wine is much better than the wine you drink, and of course, you also know that the rich clothes are more beautiful than the coarse hemp. Of course you know that the taste of power is the best, and of course you know that status brings the best enjoyment. You drank such a bad wine just to remind yourself not to forget your roots, right? ”
He kicked the flagon away.
“But I can’t.”
He stood up straight, “I am the ruler of this world, I am the ruler of this world, there is nothing in this world that is not mine. “Therefore, I will never be like you, the best wine, the most beautiful woman, the most luxurious clothes, and the most powerful person. That’s why I am worthy of you.”
He turned around and walked back. “Why is Zhen talking about all this?”
At this moment, he noticed that there was something strange about the people around him. Hundreds of men and women wearing ghost-masks emerged from the crowd, tall and low, men and women. These people were standing in the crowd admiring the statue, so they couldn’t see anything wrong with it. But the moment they put on the Ghost Face Mask together, they had the illusion that this place was no longer the peaceful Jinling.
It was the first time in so many years that a Sacred Emperor had been ambushed in the Great Xixi State. Furthermore, Chen Wunuo was known as the strongest Sacred Emperor. In the Jinling, under the sculptures of all the Sacred Emperors, such an absurd and bizarre matter was released just like that.
Aesult, when the news spread, no one cared whether the Holy Emperor Chen Wunuo was doing well or not, but thought to themselves that it was that idiot who did such an infuriating thing. They weren’t worried about anything happening to Chen Wunuo because they knew very well that, until now, there hadn’t been anyone in this world who could kill Chen Wunuo, unless he was the one. Even the Buddha, who was reputed as the number one expert in the Western World, couldn’t kill Chen Wunuo.
They were two people destined to co-exist, because it was impossible for Chen Wunuo to kill the Buddha.
Even if there werundred Lower Celestial Stage experts present, they would not have any chance to kill Chen Wunuo. Because, even if he couldn’t defeat the combined might of a hundred experts of the Lower Celestial Stage, he could still calmly retreat. So even if more assassins appeared in the Jinling today, they still wouldn’t be able to harm him.
Standing at the top was undoubtedly lonely and lonely, but this kind of encouragement and loneliness gave him a sense of security that others couldn’t hope for.
Dead bodies everywhere.
Chen Wunuo killed all the people wearing the Ghost Face Mask, then picked up the wine pot on the ground and took a sip. Not too long after, a large number of experts from the various forces and armies began to gather.
Temple General Gu Jiuxi was the only woman amongst all the Temple Generals, but he was the fastest. Because she was on duty in the imperial palace today, she knew that the Sacred Emperor had already left. Thus, when something happened on the side of Statue Mountain, she arrived faster than anyone else. But when she arrived, the stench of blood had dispersed. She was certain that it wouldn’t even take a minute for the Holy Emperor to kill these assassins.
“Your Majesty, your subject is guilty.”
Gu Jiuxi fell to his knees.
Chen Wunuo drank a mouthful of wine: “The assassin was sent by you?”
Gu Jiuxi: “This subject doesn’t dare to die.”
She shuddered with fear.
Chen Wunuo laughed: “Since the assassin was not sent by you, what crime do you have?”
Gu Jiuxi: “… The savior arrived late. ”
Chen Wunuo: “Nonsense, I don’t need anyone to save me.”
He handed the wine jug to Gu Jiuxi. Gu Jiuxi stared blankly for a moment before he took it and was at a loss as to what to do.
“Haaargh!”
“Yes sir!”
Without any hesitation, Gu Jiuxi picked up the wine jug and gulped down a large mouthful. She put down the jug, and the wine trickled down her delicate chin.
“Finish it.”
Chen Wunuo faintly said two words.
Gu Jiuxi was stunned once again. Then he held the jug of wine with both hands, raised his head and drank up all the remaining wine in one breath. A burning sensation spread from her throat all the way to his stomach, and then his whole body seemed to start burning. The first thing he felt was her face.
“Is it good?”
“Delicious!”
“Bullsh * t. This wine doesn’t taste good.”
Chen Wunuo stood up and consecutively said something like “fart”. In truth, the Sacred Emperor was one that Gu Jiuxi had never seen before. In her opinion, the Saint King had always been graceful and elegant. There was no man in the world who could match him. It was precisely because of this that Gu Jiuxi didn’t think that it was unrefined to say anything rude to the Sacred Emperor.
“Go investigate.”
Chen Wunuo stood up straight, as if he was a little tired: “The Sacred Hall doesn’t need to interfere in this matter, Ming Fa Si has already been transferred to the Immortal Palace, so you can look into it. “In the army, all the elites under the command of the Temple Generals can be deployed as long as you trust them. Whoever disagrees with this decision will be dealt with by you, and we will make sure of that.”
“This official has never investigated a case before.”
“Who told you to be the first to arrive?”
Chen Wunuo waved his hand: “Go, arrange for people to collect all the corpses, these commoners will be afraid. This matter will not be too hard to investigate, because there aren’t many people who know that I will leave the palace today. ”
He turned around and walked a few steps before stopping, “Do you know why I asked you to look into this? Is it really because you were the first to arrive? ”
Gu Jiuxi: “… “I don’t know.”
Chen Wunuo shook his head: “Actually, you know that we use you not because you were the first one, but because we care about you and trust you.”
With that, Chen Wunuo left, and Gu Jiuxi’s shoulders trembled violently.
“I care about you.”
These four words were like thunder in Gu Jiuxi’s mind, striking his nerves time and time again. She felt as if he would collapse in the next second. His happiness came too suddenly, causing her to feel dizzy and unable to stand up even if she wanted to. She didn’t know how much time had passed before she was barely able to calm down. However, when he looked again, there was no trace of the Saint King.
She is a woman, and in this world, as long as you are a woman, there is nothing that can stop Chen Wunuo from saying the four words “I care about you”.
Within the palace, the Grand Hall.
After changing into the attire of a Saint King, Chen Wunuo calmly sat on his throne, looking at the kneeling crowd. His face was calm, his eyes were calm, and not a single hint of anger could be seen. The people kneeling below were silent, no one dared to breathe loudly. Everyone was well aware of the consequences of this incident. Under broad daylight, in the Jinling, there was actually someone who dared to assassinate the Sacred Emperor.
Although the person who did this was undoubtedly a fool, a fool like this might be able to make the Jinling bleed profusely.
“No one wants to say anything?”
Chen Wunuo raised his hand and pointed at the people below him: “Look, we are the subjects of our humerus. Look at my descendants. Look, all the pillars of Da Xi are here. Every time I ascend to the palace, I actually feel a sense of pride. With so many talented people being my subjects, I feel comforted in my heart. Any one of you will be a border envoy, a heroic figure in the martial arts world. However, I am a little disappointed today … “Why don’t any of you have the guts to stand up and say I did it?”
Without waiting for the people below to react, Chen Wunuo stood up and said: “We know, how could we not know? Of course it wasn’t you guys. You are all subjects that I trust. How could you do such an outrageous thing? However, the innocence was not given by others, but proved by oneself. I’ll give you all a month to prove your innocence. ”
He turned around and left the hall, “I suddenly don’t want to see you guys anymore, before you guys are innocent.”
He said such a chilling sentence and left.
When everyone raised their heads, they seemed to see a waterfall of blood gushing down from the throne. The blood had soaked everyone’s clothes. They struggled in the lake of blood, but no one came out.
Prince Chen Zhongqi’s face was terrifyingly pale, and he suddenly had the illusion that doomsday had arrived.
He didn’t send the killer, he wasn’t that stupid.
Then who could it be?
