Chapter 84

He also had not expected Qin Mu to be so ruthless, leaving himself not a shred of room for redemption, determined to fight the Great Tang to the end.

"Creak?"

Just as Fang Xuanling was mocking himself in misery, the door of the cell suddenly opened.

A figure walked in from outside.

Fang Xuanling squinted his eyes, trying hard to see the face of the person coming in.

When he saw clearly who it was, he was shocked and hurriedly knelt to pay his respects.

"Your humble subject pays respects to Your Majesty!"

The person who came was none other than Li Er!

"Get up."

Li Er nodded gently, sat down, and continued to sigh, saying: "I fear the court officials will not realize the severity of the situation."

"Sigh, Xuanling, do not blame me. This matter is of great importance and involves much; if I do not handle it this way..."

"Your Majesty!"

Hearing these words, Fang Xuanling burst into tears, his face streaming with old tears.

That's great!

The Emperor did not intend to convict me!

Li Er looked at this old official kneeling before him, feeling an indescribable discomfort in his heart.

How high-spirited were they as monarch and subject on the battlefield in the past?

Conquering the world, with golden spears and iron horses!

And now?

One had become a prisoner, and the other had lost his most important loved ones.

Everyone had grown old!

In fact, Li Er did not really want to blame Fang Xuanling.

The two had known each other for many years and had been through how many storms together?

Li Er believed that Fang Xuanling would never betray him.

He must have had his own hidden difficulties.

But at that time in the court, Li Er had long since lost his reason.

All kinds of things had converged together.

Anger, humiliation, despair, and terror—all emotions surged out at once.

Everyone has their own limit of endurance, and Li Er at that time had reached his.

"Xuanling, there are only the two of us, monarch and subject, here. What exactly happened? You must tell me in detail." Li Er asked again.

This time.

Li Er no longer regarded Qin Mu as a highly talented youth, but as an enemy!

A terrifying enemy who could be his equal!

"Your Majesty, the matter is like this..."

Fang Xuanling told Li Er in detail about all his encounters and his dealings with Qin Mu, fearing he might say a single word wrong.

Half an hour later.

Li Er finally understood the whole story.

Just like that.

A picture of conquering the world gradually unfolded in Li Er's mind.

The decisive battle against Songtsen Gampo, the occupation of Lhasa, entering the Potala Palace, subduing Lu Dongzan, changing the era name to declare himself Emperor, and establishing the Great Qin!

All of this was so swift and decisive, not giving the enemy the slightest chance to catch their breath.

"What a Qin Mu!"

"I never expected that in this lifetime, I would encounter someone so similar to myself." After hearing the whole story, Li Er couldn't help but exclaim.

Fang Xuanling's mouth twitched immediately.

He felt that Li Er was unconsciously gilding his own face!

But to be honest.

That Qin Mu really did look quite similar to the Emperor!

"Your Majesty, that youth really does have some similarities to you."

Fang Xuanling nodded and said.
