Chapter 497 I Don’t Want To [Please give me a monthly ticket! ]

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and it was time for the army to set out.

The god of war Tang Wei stood outside the city gate in full armor, looking at the morning glow in the distance with a far-reaching gaze, as if recalling the time when he went to war. The last time he saw this familiar morning glow march was more than a decade ago.

His mount was a long-bearded dragon-fanged beast, an exotic beast with mixed bloodline but with extremely strong talent. It was over three meters tall, and with every breath it took, waves spread. At this moment, it was lying quietly on the ground.

This giant beast had fought with him on the battlefield and killed countless enemies. Now, after not being able to eat for so many years, it had gained a lot of weight.

On the top of the city wall, a bright yellow robe is particularly eye-catching.

Mu Beidi stood on the wall, staring at Tang Wei's army formation, and said loudly: "The last time I sent the general to the battle was many years ago. Now things have changed and the soldiers have been replaced countlessly. The general, take them out and bring back the victory report."

Tang Wei clasped his fists and bowed, "I will never fail the emperor's grace!"

There were only a few thousand soldiers behind him, they were his few personal soldiers and the imperial guards who accompanied him. It was unknown whether Emperor Mu Beidi had any other intentions in sending such a large number of imperial guards to protect Tang Wei.

The 150,000 troops he needed for the expedition had already set out from the three major military towns of Zhongzhou, Xizhou and Liangzhou, and would gradually converge along the way.

There were also many people in the city who came to see him off. Everyone only knew that it was the bandits from Bashan who broke through the dragon-raising formation, causing the dragon energy in Liangzhou to be completely lost. Within two days, there had been many earthquakes, not to mention floods, droughts, and stone disasters.

Although the imperial court responded quickly and began to relocate people for disaster relief, many people still suffered.

This expedition is imperative.

After some encouraging words, all the soldiers bowed and thanked the emperor for his grace, then marched towards Bashan with their flags pointing to the northwest. It was unknown how many of them returned.

After Emperor Mu Bei came down from the city wall, he did not return to the palace immediately, but stayed temporarily in the room under the tower. This was where the garrison commanders commanded the battle when someone attacked the city. It was not very spacious, and probably because they did not expect the emperor to come in, there were a lot of sundries piled up at this time.

There were only Cao Wujiu and Mu Beidi in the space. The chief eunuch stood behind him, looking at Mu Beidi's back, and said, "Your Majesty, it's almost time at the Tower of Babel. Li Longchan is waiting downstairs."

"I know." Emperor Mu Bei's tone was a little heavy, his brows were solemn, and he seemed to be still struggling with something.

"The arrangements for the imperial city have been completed. As long as..." Cao Wujiu stopped talking halfway and said, "Your Majesty still can't bear it?"

"Liang Fuguo is a capable minister who can govern the country. With him around, we don't have to worry about government affairs for the next 30 years. Over the years, he has never done anything wrong to the country or the people." Emperor Mu Bei said quietly, "As a ruler, how can I not cherish such a minister? Killing him is not my wish."

"But he has the country and the people in his heart, but not Your Majesty." Cao Wujiu lowered his head and said softly: "If there are indeed remnants of the Xishan Society among the important officials in the court, Liang Fuguo is the most likely one."

Mu Beidi remained silent and looked up at the small window that looked out.

"Now that the government is in order, his butcher knife is no longer needed. Tang Wei is leading troops outside, and the Ministry of War is in the hands of Liang Fuguo. If these two collude with each other, the country will be in danger." Cao Wujiu's tone gradually became heavier, "Your Majesty is kind and tolerant, and it will be difficult for him to make up his mind. Then I will be the villain. The decree to summon Liang Fuguo to the palace for an audience was issued a moment ago. If Your Majesty is dissatisfied, you can behead me!"

"Ugh……"

After hearing what Cao Wujiu said, Emperor Mu Bei finally sighed and waved his hand.

"You should go back to the palace with the carriage. If you are not here, it will be difficult to conceal it from others."

……

Looking down from Taihuang Mountain, the entire Longyuan City is like a huge chessboard, with chess pieces of all shapes and sizes moving back and forth, just like that for thousands of years.

The highest building on Mount Taihuang is the Wentian Tower, and the highest floor of Wentian Tower is the seventh floor. Except for Beiluo Shimen, the other priests are not qualified to climb to the top, but on this day, Liang Xiaoyun walked up.

No wonder there is no door leading to the seventh floor on the sixth floor. The sixth floor is still inside the building, while the seventh floor is in the starry sky.

Only Bei Luo Shimen can summon the white jade divine steps.

After hearing the call, Liang Xiaoyun walked up step by step along the stairs whose base was unknown. The sky in front of her was deep, and countless round and huge stars were floating in it.

And a faint blue soul was floating in front of the steps, looking at her with gentle eyes, which were full of divinity.

"Disciple greets Master." Liang Xiaoyun climbed onto the last step and then saluted.

Not to mention the common people of Yin Kingdom, even the priests of Wentian Tower might not have a chance to see Beiluo Shimen's true body here once in their lifetime.

"Xiao Yun." The blue figure spoke softly, "I summoned you here today because I have a request."

"Master, please give me your instructions." Liang Xiaoyun lowered her head and said.

"Everyone says that I have guarded the four seas and nine states for nearly a thousand years, but in fact... my life span is far more than a thousand years." Beiluo Shimen has always existed in the world as a god, but when she spoke at this moment, people felt extremely close to her, "I have been in this world for tens of thousands of years."

Liang Xiaoyun listened carefully, not daring to look up at all.

"My true form is just like this, just a trace of divinity. If I want to survive in this world, I need a body that can carry my divinity. But in this world, the human body is limited and can only last a thousand years. So every thousand years, I must get a new body."

"If I don't have to protect the four seas and nine states, then I can leave this divine power somewhere else. But if I do that, the world will be plunged into a long war and chaos without an absolute power, and the people will suffer endless hardships."

"If I want to maintain my divine power that is superior to all living beings, I must have a body that is perfectly compatible with it, and I must have unparalleled divine talent."

"In this generation, I chose you."

Hearing this, Liang Xiaoyun's pupils trembled slightly as she looked below.

"This is a request. I ask you to sacrifice for the world. For the next thousand years, I will live in the world with your name and appearance. Your mother will live a long and happy life, and your brothers will achieve their dreams. If they want to practice, I will help them stand at the top below the gods, or even become a new immortal realm... If they want power, I will help them establish a new dynasty."

"Your family will become the greatest family in the world, and every descendant will praise the ancestors forever. You did not die, but merged with me, and together we will protect the world."

"The people of the four seas and nine states will build a temple for you. From now on, 'Liang Xiaoyun' will replace Bei Luoshimen and become the most sacred name in the world."

"Xiao Yun, are you willing?"

As her voice reached her ears, Liang Xiaoyun seemed to have seen such a scene, where all her family members had realized their wishes and she had become the greatest person in the world.

"Liang Xiaoyun" protects the world, and just one name can make everyone bow down to her.

Liang Xiaoyun's expression gradually became blurred. She raised her head with a soft light in her eyes as she looked up at Bei Luo Shimen in front of her.

"Master, I..." Her voice was soft but firm, "I don't want to."
