Chapter 563: Stupid Opponent’s Pig Teammate

“My lord, are the conditions a bit too harsh?”

After leaving, Pu Ji asked hesitantly that he could understand Qi Sui’an wanting a city, but wasn’t this a bit too much?

“Although I don’t like Confucianism and Taoism, the Buddha has issued an order after all. Even if we want to make things difficult for them, we can’t affect the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens.”

“Your Majesty, please think twice.”

Qi Sui’an walked in front, and waited until Puji finished speaking before he said, “Of course, I dare not disobey the Buddha’s will.”

“And this is only the first day, don’t rush.”

“If you want to open a window, you can’t just say I want to open the window, you have to say I want to lift the roof.”

“The other party definitely disagreed, and then I took a step back and said I wanted to open the window, and then they agreed.”

“That’s called compromise.”

Pu Ji could understand what Qi Sui’an said.

After all, there are differences between Xiliang Kingdom, Dongyin Kingdom and Beihan Kingdom.

As for seizing power? Puji had no such idea.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that although the Xiliang Kingdom’s current success is inseparable from the support of their Buddhist tradition, it actually relies on Qi Sui’an himself.

It is impossible for me to be in power. Besides, even if they come to power, they will only defeat the Xiliang Kingdom.

“Then do you have a specific time?” Pu Ji wanted to give himself a rough idea so that he could feel more at ease when reporting it.

After all, the time for the sacrifice to heaven has been set. If the altar is not completed on time, there will be real trouble.

“They must be thinking of fighting us to the death, and then letting your Buddhist tradition come forward to be the bad guy.”

“Not only can it force Xiliang Kingdom to hold the event, but it can also destroy the relationship between you and me. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.” Qi Suian did not give Pu Ji the time he wanted.

However, this also made Puji’s expression change slightly.

This is indeed the development. After all, compared with the Western Liang Kingdom, they are naturally more inclined to the Buddha’s will.

If Qi Sui’an really delays too long, they will inevitably be forced to make this decision.

In the end, the only ones who will suffer will be their Buddhist tradition and the Xiliang Kingdom.

If they lose money, someone will benefit, and it is obvious who the benefit is.

“Your Majesty, there is no solution to this problem.” After hearing this, Puji realized that he was also being held up.

“There’s no need to be so pessimistic. There is actually a solution.” Qi Sui’an said, “Let’s take advantage of this opportunity to capture the capitals of Dongyin and Beihan.”

“He is just using low-level means. Let’s just cut off the source of the problem!”

Puji thought it was feasible, but there was a problem: it couldn’t be done.

If they could really do this easily in a short period of time, the two countries would have been destroyed by them long ago.

“Don’t worry, we won’t really fight, we’ll just put some pressure on them.” Qi Sui’an had no idea that this was impossible unless he did it himself.

He wants the city, and he also wants sacrifices to heaven.

Qi Sui’an wanted to be crowned emperor on the day of the Heaven Sacrifice, so he needed at least two-thirds of the world.

If the territory was not insufficient, he would have agreed directly when the Confucian and Taoist sects came to him. There would be no need to go through so much trouble.

As for why he had to be proclaimed emperor during the sacrifice to heaven, it was, firstly, to save this whole process, and secondly, to naturally cut in the pieces.

As for offering sacrifice to heaven, he himself is also a world anyway. Whether to offer sacrifice to the heaven of the Taoist world or to offer sacrifice to himself, it is definitely the latter that will benefit him.

If successful, his survivor incarnation would be able to directly leap into the seventh level Taoist master.

Qi Sui’an even considered the matter of sacrifice.

They are the powerful people at the fifth and sixth realms of the three traditions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.

“Not really fighting? What’s the point?” Pu Ji couldn’t understand.

“It’s just an attitude, saying that if they don’t give it to us, we’ll take it ourselves.” Qi Sui’an continued, “Of course, if they really think we’re bluffing, then we’ll take it away.”

“If they want to hold out, then we’ll make them sleepless.”

Pu Ji still couldn’t understand what Qi Sui’an said. Seeing this, Qi Sui’an could only shake his head and said, “Just keep me safe.”

“Don’t worry about the rest.”

Now Puji understood and nodded vigorously.

For him, this task was much easier to solve.

But soon, he realized that Qi Suian had not told him the time yet.

“Then your Majesty, when will this matter have a result?” Puji couldn’t help but ask.

Without an exact time, I feel unsure and it is difficult to explain to my superiors.

Although the Arhats and Bodhisattvas of the fifth and sixth realms were called back, theoretically he was able to control the power.

But this is just theory, not reality.

“Five days, maybe.” Qi Sui’an didn’t continue to give Puji any more riddles this time, but directly stated the time: “If it still doesn’t work after five days, I’ll take a step back.”

He said this, but how to withdraw specifically was another matter. Qi Sui’an had plenty of ways to play word games.

The two walked one after the other, and when they were about to enter the imperial study, Pu Ji suddenly stopped Qi Sui’an. “There’s an assassin!” Pu Ji said, and stepped forward on behalf of Qi Sui’an.

huh~
A crossbow arrow whizzed over and headed straight for the throat.

However, Puji was faster. He stretched out his hand to intercept the crossbow arrow, and then pounced in like a tiger.

In an instant, a man in black was pulled down from the beam and easily subdued.

We don’t know his origins for now, but it doesn’t matter, he has been captured alive.

But the next moment, something strange happened.

The guard at the study door suddenly drew out his knife and slashed at Qi Sui’an.

When Puji saw this scene, his eyes were bloodshot.

This was not the first time he faced an assassin. Qi Sui’an had experienced many assassinations in the past.

There are everyone from ordinary people to Taoist people, but this is the first time I have met such a group of people who are connected to each other.

Fortunately, he is already a senior monk of the fourth realm, and his speed is far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Before the long knife fell, Pu Ji had already given up on the black-clad assassin and turned around to grab the long knife that was about to fall on Qi Sui’an’s neck.

“presumptuous!”

In anger, Pu Ji kicked the fake guard in the abdomen and kicked him directly into the study.

Fortunately, he was strong enough and came back in time, otherwise it would be all over.

However, although he was angry, he was accurate when he kicked. Otherwise, if he used all his strength, he would definitely turn the fake guard into a pool of meat paste.

The fake guard rolled several times in the study and finally stopped after hitting the wall.

Then the other guards woke up as if from a dream, rushed into the study and subdued the two assassins.

“Take him away and interrogate him to find out who is trying to assassinate me at this critical moment.” Qi Sui’an said with a smile, as if nothing had happened.

Puji’s expression finally relaxed.

After the two assassins were dragged away, they were unable to move, like dead dogs.

Although Puji didn’t kill them, he was just an ordinary man after all. It would be a lie to say that he was fine after enduring the attack of a Taoist master of the fourth realm.

“Pu Ji, get someone to treat them, don’t let them die.” Qi Sui’an actually knew about the assassination a long time ago, but he just ignored it.

After all, he is just an ordinary man now, without any extraordinary abilities. How could he detect such things?

“Yes, your Majesty.” Puji said, and arranged two people from the third realm of Buddhism to handle it.

The main job is to keep the person alive so that the interrogators can torture him freely.

After the study was tidied up, Qi Sui’an began to correct official business.

“My king, why aren’t you worried at all?” Puji asked worriedly, “Who is the enemy, and why do they have to act now? Will it affect the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heaven?”

“There’s nothing to worry about. The one who did it must be the King of Dongyin. He wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife.” Qi Sui’an already knew the truth: “He took this opportunity to sabotage, and then use us to take back the power of Dongyin Kingdom.”

“This is the discord between the ruler and his subjects. We can use this as a breakthrough point.”

When Pu Ji heard this, he thought it was indeed possible.

The reason why it is not Beihan Kingdom is because the King of Beihan is too old to do this.

On the contrary, the drunken and dreaming King Dong Yin was not an absurd character before he was sidelined and turned into a puppet. It was just that the Taoist tradition was too powerful and he was really powerless to save the situation.

However, it is definitely unrealistic to give up just like that. There must be various plans in secret to regain their power and influence.
–
“The sacrifice to heaven is the final moment to break the deadlock.” A cold light flashed in King Dong Yin’s eyes.

He knew that this was his only chance to turn the tables.

Compared with his Dongyin Kingdom and Beihan Kingdom, it goes without saying that there would be no obstacles to offering sacrifices to heaven, but the King of Xiliang in the Xiliang Kingdom was different. He was not controlled by the orthodox forces.

Instead, he grasped the Buddhist orthodoxy.

Coupled with the other party’s wolfish ambitions, they will definitely ask for an exorbitant amount of money.

He could guess what he wanted, which was nothing more than territory, food, population and the like.

It’s even possible to have them all.

Therefore, what he had to do was very simple, which was to delay the sacrifice to heaven as long as possible. If he could destroy it, that would naturally be the best.

As for the fact that doing so would offend the three Taoist sects and even the three Taoist masters behind them?
Prince Dongyin didn’t care at all.

If he can’t make a successful comeback, he won’t have much time left.

The Taoist school was also aware of his behavior and thoughts, but due to his orthodox identity it was difficult to kill him directly.

It takes a suitable opportunity for him to die legally and reasonably.

Otherwise, if they suddenly die of illness or fall into the water, it will easily cause internal turmoil.

After all, the descendants of the Taoist school are only a minority, and they also need enough common people to serve as supply personnel.

As the King of Dongyin, he is the representative of power who is responsible for collecting supply resources, which means he cannot be replaced at will.

But with the passage of time and the strengthening of control over the Dongyin Kingdom, the effectiveness of King Dongyin’s amulet is gradually declining.

This forced King Dong Yin to take a risk in order to survive.
