Sign In Buddha's Palm Chapter 182

Chapter 182: One Order, Six Countries.

Edited by: Mochiusagi

In the Long Life Temple.

Emperor Li Sheng kept looking at the six tokens in front of him.

These six tokens looked extremely common, and their texture was very rough, there was nothing that stood out.

If it weren't for these tokens being personally handed over by Su Qin, Emperor Li Sheng would never have spared a glance at these tokens.

“Third Brother said that if the six countries do not agree to surrender, we would take out the tokens.”

“But why isn't there any differences between the six tokens?”

Emperor Li Sheng looked at it for a long time, but still didn't find anything. In the end, he just gave up.

Emperor Li Sheng absolutely trusted Su Qin. Since Su Qin said so, there must be a reason.

“Come here.”

Emperor Li Sheng pondered for a while and called.

“Your Majesty.”

Eunuch Liu bowed and walked in.

“You and five other people, take these six tokens and go to the six countries. Give them two choices.” Emperor Li Sheng said solemnly.

“Two choices?”

Eunuch Liu raised his head and glanced at Emperor Tang suspiciously.

“That's right.”

“Surrender or die.”

“If the six countries do not agree, then take out the token.”

Emperor Li Sheng repeated Su Qin's words without missing a word.

“As you wish, Your Majesty.”

Eunuch Liu felt heavy.

He didn't know why Emperor Li Sheng's was acting like this, the Emperor didn't even bother considering the conditions of the six countries and instead opted into giving them two choices…

In Eunuch Liu's point of view, the two choices were not so much as persuading the six countries to surrender, but rather to anger them.

But as an Eunuch, he couldn't defy the orders of the Emperor.

Soon, Eunuch Liu called the five other Eunuchs.

“Do you understand the meaning of His Majesty's words?” Eunuch Liu looked at the five Eunuchs and asked.

“This time in our journey to the six countries, our life and death is a trivial matter. No matter what, we must accomplish His Majesty's order.”

Eunuch Liu said every word with force.

On this trip, Eunuch Liu had already embraced the mentality of seeing death as home.

Although he was a Grade 1 Great Grandmaster, if he goes deep into the Imperial Palace of the six countries and puts forth such tough conditions, he will definitely anger them. The possibility of being killed was high.

Although the six countries dare not fight the Tang Empire, in order to vent their anger, there will be no problem with them killing a Grade 1 Great Grandmaster.

The other five Eunuchs glanced at each other, feeling the same weight and gravity of the situation.

However, even at this time, they did not think about rejecting it. As Eunuchs, their life and death depend on His Majesty. His Majesty decides whether they can live or die. If His Majesty wants them dead, then none of them would dare to survive.

“Alright.”

“One token per person. If the six countries refuse, then take out the token.” Eunuch Liu handed the token to five Eunuchs, while leaving one for himself. After that, they left the Imperial Palace and went to the six countries respectively.

Southern Ming Empire's Imperial Palace.

The Ming Emperor was sitting on the Dragon Throne with an uncertain expression.

“Say, will Chang'an City agree to my terms?” The Ming Emperor frowned. He thought for a while and asked.

“Your Majesty.”

“They will, Your Majesty. Our Southern Ming Empire dominates the Southeast. If Your Majesty does not intend to surrender, it will take the Tang Empire at least 20 years to settle the territory of the Southern Ming Empire.”

“A promise in exchange for saving 20 years of time, how could they not agree?”

The Bright Gown Guard Commander respectfully replied.

“That's right.”

The Ming Emperor slightly nodded.

What he wanted was just a promise from the Tang Empire's Legend. It wasn't too much, so it wouldn't make sense if the Tang Empire didn't agree.

At this moment, an Official couldn't help asking: “But what if the other party doesn't agree?”

The Great Hall suddenly became quiet.

Even the Ming Emperor's expression instantly became gloomy.

“Don't agree?”

“Haven't I compromised enough?”

The Ming Emperor glanced at the Officials: “If the Tang Empire really doesn't agree, I would rather die and break the net. We'll just flee overseas and not stay on the mainland.”

“There are countless islands overseas. With our Southern Ming Empire's sailing skills, we can conquer some islands and then become independent. How difficult would it be?”

The Ming Emperor's words were domineering.

The Southern Ming Empire was close to the sea, and they often sent ships to explore the ocean. They naturally have some understanding of the situation overseas.

From the Ming Emperor's point of view, even if the Tang Empire has a Legend, the Southern Ming Empire was not without a retreat.

If it comes to worst, they'll just abandon the territory and escape overseas.

Of course, if there was a choice, the Ming Emperor would not choose this path. After all, life overseas was not as good in the mainland.

Just then, an Imperial Guard hurriedly walked into the Great Hall. He stopped next to the Ming Emperor's ear and whispered a few words.

“Huh?”

A smile appeared on the Ming Emperor's face. He looked towards the Officials in the Great Hall: “The Envoy of the Tang Empire is here.”

The Officials' eyes lit up.

The Tang Empire's envoy's purpose should be this.

“Let him come in.”

The Ming Emperor indifferently said.

After a moment, Eunuch Liu walked into the Great Hall.

“Greetings, Ming Emperor.”

Eunuch Liu slightly arched his hand towards the Ming Emperor, neither too respectful nor impolite.

“What is the Tang Emperor's reply?”

The Ming Emperor was too lazy to exchange pleasantries and just asked bluntly.

“Your Majesty told this old slave that…” Eunuch Liu straightened his waist and looked at the Ming Emperor.

“Oh?”

The Ming Emperor looked at Eunuch Liu with interest.

The Officials also pricked their ears, listening intently.

“Either surrender…”

Eunuch Liu looked around all around then finished: “Or die.”

Eunuch Liu's voice barely sounded when the whole hall turned completely silent.

A horrible pressure slowly enveloped the entire Great Hall.

After a long time, the Ming Emperor slowly got up. He looked down at Eunuch Liu, and said word by word: “Okay! Very good! I didn't expect that the Tang Emperor would dare to despise me so much.”

The Ming Emperor was so angry.

If the Tang Emperor refused tactfully, he wouldn't have been so angry.

“Since the Tang Emperor can not tell good from bad, then I don't need to worry about face.” The Ming Emperor squeezed out a few words from the gap in his gritted teeth: “Draw out all the gold and silver in the country, empty the treasury, let us go overseas.”

Once the Ming Emperor took away all of the gold and silver in the Southern Ming Empire, it would inevitably cause civil chaos, but the Ming Emperor could no longer take care of these at this moment.

“As for you?”

The Ming Emperor looked at Eunuch Liu indifferently: “Kill him.”

As soon as the Ming Emperor said this, several figures quietly approached Eunuch Liu.

These figures had a hidden aura, far surpassing that of a Grade 1. Obviously they were all Peak Grade 1 Great Grandmasters.

Since the recovery of the world's vitality, not only the Tang Empire gave birth to a number of Peak Grade 1, but also a large number of powerhouses also appeared in the various Powers in the world.

“You guys?!”

Eunuch Liu's face turned pale.

He's only a Grade 1, how could he withstand a Peak Grade 1?

Just as Eunuch Liu was about to fight to the death, he suddenly thought of the token on his body.

Emperor Li Sheng said to take out the token after the Southern Ming Empire refused. Obviously, this was the time to take it out.

Although Eunuch Liu didn't know how a common token could block the many powerhouses of the Southern Ming Empire, Eunuch Liu still did what the Tang Emperor said.

The next moment, Eunuch Liu took out the token, as if he was holding the most precious treasure, and held it above his head.

“You think that trifling token could save your life?”

A trace of sarcasm appeared on the Ming Emperor's face. As he was about to watch Eunuch Liu getting smashed under the hands of the Southern Ming Empire's Peak Grade 1 Great Grandmasters…

[Weng~]!!!

The token in Eunuch Liu's hand suddenly burst into rays of light. It shone brightly and enveloped the entire Southern Ming Imperial Palace.

At that moment, the entire world seemed to have stopped. Under everyone's eyes, amidst the infinite rays of light, a vague stalwart figure slowly raised its head.

“This is?!!”

The Ming Emperor felt his hands and feet go cold, it felt like he had fallen into the abyss.
