Chapter 227: A Brand New Experience Like Never Before! (Third Update)
"None of you are to come and persuade Us!!!"
"We know very well what We are doing!"
"We are still young; We are only two... three hundred years old! How can We not count as the younger generation!"
"The past few times, We missed out because of seclusion, and We already regret it deeply! This time, there is absolutely no way We will miss it!"
"Beloved subjects, there is no need to persuade Us further; Our mind is made up! All of you, withdraw!"
Listening to the voice coming from inside, Ren Yidao's expression was quite spectacular.
Wow.
Exciting!
Ren Yidao did not know if a man remains a youth until death.
But he did know what this Emperor was until death.
What a high-purity troll!
This one is even more heavyweight.
He had originally thought Jing Yueqin was already invincible under Heaven, but he did not expect such an expert; whose subordinate is this?
What is even more coincidental is that Li Long is no one's subordinate... he is the master.
To have such a master, for the soldiers of Beigan, what a great blessing this must be!
"This is truly a great misfortune for Beigan..."
Let us just pretend we didn't hear this heartfelt remark that the Prime Minister accidentally let slip from the bottom of his heart.
I am also a centenarian, so it is quite reasonable to be hard of hearing for a moment.
"Your Majesty, this old subject has matters to discuss, I beg for an audience."
The great door was pushed open by Su Peiqing, who respectfully invited them:
"Lord Wang, please come in quickly. His Majesty has long known of your arrival; come in, all of you."
"Then I thank Lord Su."
Su Peiqing smiled and returned the courtesy, looking at the old man and the young man, raising an eyebrow:
"No need, though the combination of the two of you coming together is truly very rare."
Before Wang Xuesong could speak, Ren Yidao replied with a smile:
"Lord Su, that is where you are wrong. Ren has not spent half a month at Wentian; isn't it a rare combination no matter who I appear with?"
Su Peiqing blinked, thought about it, and then shook his head with a smile.
"That is true, that is indeed true."
Li Long walked out carrying a bucket of black ash and laughed loudly:
"Haha, virtuous brother is right."
He pushed open the window, dumped the black ash from the bucket directly outside, and then casually waved a light breeze to sweep the drifting dust away.
Click.
Dropping the empty bucket in front of Wang Xuesong, Li Long said triumphantly:
"Beloved subject, if you have any more memorials to present to Us this time, just put them in this bucket; We will read them later."
Ren Yidao blinked, glanced at Wang Xuesong from the corner of his eye, and then silently stood a little further away.
It wasn't that he was afraid of trouble or had succumbed to Li Long's tyranny.
It was just that he was genuinely afraid that this old man would explode from anger in a moment and splash blood all over him...
You, Li Long, are truly a piece of work!
How can you anger an old man like that? What if you make him sick?
And you deliberately dumped the memorial ash right in front of him...
How old are you?
How childish!
Next time, don't... be so gentle again.
And while Ren Yidao was complaining to himself, Wang Xuesong spoke.
He did not suffer a Broken Defense as Ren Yidao had imagined; instead, he lightly pulled a stack of prepared memorials from his sleeve and handed them over.
"Your Majesty, read them slowly. As long as you need them, this old subject has them here at any time."
As expected of an old fox who has entrenched himself in the imperial court for many years, Wang Xuesong's smile was peaceful, and one could not see any inner wavering at all.
Let you be unreasonable and difficult; I remain unmoved.
Li Long: "Haha, beloved subject, you are truly witty."
Wang Xuesong: "Hehe, Your Majesty knows that this old subject never jokes."
Both: "Hahahaha! (Hehehehe!)"
Experts crossing swords.
Watching the monarch and the subject both refusing to give an inch, Ren Yidao knew it was time for him to make an appearance.
After all, since he was already here, he had to play some role, didn't he?
"Lord Wang, how about you let me have a private chat with Brother Long?"
Wang Xuesong's smile faded, and he followed the suggestion:
"I hope Your Highness can make His Majesty turn back from his misguided path; this old subject will take his leave first."
Having said that, he immediately turned around and walked out of the room with Su Peiqing, leaving only the two of them behind.
"Heh heh, it is indeed Our victory."
Snorting twice at the back of Wang Xuesong as he walked away, Li Long sat down on the recliner and began to rock back and forth.
He glanced sideways at the Imperial Brother who was sitting to the side without a hint of fear, and hummed:
"Virtuous brother, are you also here to persuade Me to turn back from the wrong path?"
"I advise you to give up early; once I have made up My mind, it is impossible to change!"
"I am weary, I am going to sleep!"
Although he had promised Wang Xuesong, Ren Yidao actually didn't have much confidence in his heart about persuading Li Long.
There was an even worse point.
Why do I feel a bit reluctant to persuade him...
I just feel like that kind of development would be very interesting!
How about I persuade him to add one more person, so I can join in the fun too?
When brothers are of one mind, their sharpness can cut through metal!
Let us two brothers teach the children of the Eastern Wasteland a lesson!
*Cough cough*...
"Uh, no, I am not here to refute you."
"I am here to provide you with a better line of thinking."
Ren Yidao thought for a moment and decided to use a more suitable word to explain:
"Right, I am here to support you."
Oh?
Hearing this, Li Long stopped rocking his chair, and he was no longer sleepy, looking at Ren Yidao in surprise.
Whoa!
There's an even greater expert!?
"Brother Long, I can guess some of your thoughts; isn't it just that you missed out before and want a sense of participation this time?"
*Slap. *
Li Long slapped his thigh and sat up straight.
My virtuous brother is right; I am not trying to play, I am just reclaiming the memories that should be mine!
Ren Yidao briefly organized his thoughts and began to entice him:
"Think about it, isn't the meaning of Lord Wang and the others that they are worried you might be suspected of bullying the weak, and they are afraid it won't sound good if it gets out? And you want to participate in it?"
"That's it, right?"
Li Long thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with this interpretation.
"Right."
"Then that makes it easy to talk about; these two things actually don't conflict."
Li Long: Oh?
"Since you only want to participate in a chessboard, why must you be the chess piece?"
Ren Yidao's smile was eerie as he said slowly:
"Wouldn't it be better to be the chess player?"
Hmm?
Li Long: "... You mean?"
"Rigging the game?"
Speaking of this, the light that flowed in Li Long's eyes was actually one of excitement.
That's right!
This can also be a way to participate in the competition!
Why didn't I think of that before?
My virtuous brother really knows how to play!
Watching Li Long, who was about to go astray, Ren Yidao waved his hands repeatedly.
Stop, stop, I said stop.
Your idea is a bit too radical.
"Uh, you don't need to participate in the competition from that angle... Listen to me, I do have an idea regarding the competition format for this Two Domains Conflict."
"I guarantee this will be a brand-new experience you have never had before!"
Ren Yidao lowered his voice and said mysteriously:
"I have named this competition format..."
"Role-playing!"
Li Long:?
Hmm?
I'm familiar with this!
It's something I often play with my beloved consorts.
Seeing that Li Long seemed very interested, Ren Yidao seized the opportunity and explained:
"Listen to me as I explain in detail..."
Still have a cold, can't hold on anymore, going to sleep now... May I ask for a Monthly Ticket?
