Chapter 270 Who wouldn't want that?

He ignored the bulging veins on the old emperor's forehead, and in front of the old emperor, he took the jade seal and stamped the edict of repentance.

"If you don't recover the twelve states, the deal won't be complete. You can't let me die!"

The old emperor struggled and tried to take the sword of Taizu from Wen Zhi's hand.

Wen Zhi lowered his eyes, raised a wicked smile, and answered very seriously,

"The original deal was indeed to recover the lost territory of Da Qi, but you ceded the twelve states to foreigners and stamped them with your seal as the Emperor of Da Qi."

"How can it still be counted as part of the 'Great Qi Territory' agreed upon in the transaction?"

It was just a word game. The old emperor thought he had it under control, but Wen Zhi was just doing business. It was a sign of his integrity that he didn't cheat others in the transaction. How could he be controlled by him here?

"It's you, you... misled me!" The old emperor opened his eyes wide, his face full of horror.

"I didn't say anything. You think your plan is perfect."

Wen Zhi said indifferently, "At this point, there is no need to shirk responsibility. You only had one chance back then, and that was at Youyun Pass."

"If you take action, that elite team will be abandoned together. From now on, even if you don't want to give the twelve states with iron and gold mines to foreigners, no one will be able to go to the battlefield to fight against foreigners."

"You made your own choice. You exchanged the fate of the Great Qi for your own life."

However, the old emperor was confident that with the layout of the imperial mausoleum, he could control Wen Zhi forever.

Wouldn’t this solve the problem of national destiny?

Wen Zhi's smile widened, and a cold light seemed to flash across his eyes.

"Originally I only wanted to take your life, but now with this deal, part of the Great Qi luck you lost will also become my reward."

He relies on trading to improve his abilities.

"I'll give you one day to arrange your funeral." Wen Zhi returned to his usual nonchalant attitude.

At this time, the people below also heard this sentence clearly. Except for Shen You, others could only hear vague sounds related to the previous transaction.

Wen Zhi picked up the stamped edict of repentance and was about to walk down the stairs.

I caught a glimpse of the old emperor's withered eyes and heard him say that he had only two days to live. He twitched as if he had suffered a stroke and was trying to struggle.

He added, "Oh, don't worry, your mausoleum will not have any of the immortal decorations, and the statue made with your own face in the Imperial Temple will also be stopped and demolished."

Hearing this, the old emperor became even more excited. He pointed at him without saying a word for a long time. It seemed that he would not live another day and was about to die of anger.

"That's not what I meant. Your son and the ministers all agreed that it would be a waste of money and effort. Wouldn't it be better to use the money to build water conservancy projects instead of wasting it on you?"

"And the imperial concubine will also be sent to King Cheng's fiefdom for burial."

This is what it means to kill someone and destroy their heart.

If it were someone else, knowing that they only had one day to live, they might let go of their obsession and spend this time well with their family.

But he was an emperor who put becoming an immortal and power first, so he had a hard day.

Wen Zhi walked down the stairs and threw the edict of apology to Liu Yunyan. This was the explanation that the generals of the Great Qi wanted.

Then, he extended his hand to Shen You, smiling as gently as the warm sun shining through the clouds, "Let's go."

Shen You had just held his hand and turned to walk out when Li Heng's voice sounded behind him.

"Miss Shen, water conservancy blueprints."

"I need some time. You can rest assured that I will not default on my business."

After Shen You finished speaking, he left without looking back.

The next thing to do was to summon all civil and military officials and read the edict of repentance.

It has nothing to do with them. Wen Zhi's deal has been completed. It is the subjects of Da Qi who need to be punished. Standing at the south gate of the imperial palace, you can see the most magnificent main road and the most prosperous market in the capital.

It is said that in the past, during important festivals, the emperor would stand here and have fun with the people.

It’s a complete emperor’s perspective, the feeling of standing in a high position, overlooking the prosperous times, and holding great power.

Shen You thinks this should be accompanied by a song: Who knows the meaning of the song, the broken string is waiting for you to tie it
Don't say it, really don't say it.

No wonder the word "power" has fascinated people since ancient times.

She thought about the dragon and phoenix carvings she saw when she walked down the steps of the palace just now. They were so beautiful.

There is also the bronze sword in Wen Zhi's hand. This was not cast in the contemporary Da Qi era, but an ancient sword handed down from generation to generation.

The craft has been lost, and most importantly, it’s still golden!

The original color of the bronze sword is so rare. In the world today, only the Sword of Gou Jian, King of Yue, can be compared to this one.

"Then bring it back to the shop and let me keep it?!" Shen You couldn't help but smile.

"Yeah." Wen Zhi nodded with a smile.

Shen You didn't feel happy for long before she thought of something.

"Wait, now you don't have to be bound by Da Qi's deal anymore, and you won't disappear just because you can't complete the deal.
But you won’t get old, so in a few decades.”

At that time, could they still be together? He couldn't let Wen Zhi stay in the shop guarding her ashes.

"Let's agree on a time for our transaction." Shen You said with a smile.

According to the current deal, if she dies, Wen Zhi will also have to die, but Shen You doesn't want this to happen.

"No, I don't agree!" Wen Zhi turned his head, his eyes darkened a little, and said aggrievedly, "I said forever at the beginning, how can such a good thing be changed casually."

"Wake up, you mountain god of the ancient country of Youdi." Shen You smiled lightly and said frankly, "Our lifespans are in different dimensions."

Wen Zhi finally returned to the world, and it was good enough that they could meet.

"So that's what you're worried about."

Wen Zhi suddenly realized and felt relieved. "The first rule of the store is that as long as you are in the store, you will continue to upgrade and leave the system of the world, so naturally you are not in the ordinary human dimension, and..."

He paused and smiled very eye-catchingly, "You didn't read our contract carefully. We will live and die together. As long as I am alive, you will not die."

He studied the rules of the store system and felt that in the future, Shen You would either give up the store or break away from the worldly rule system and travel through various dimensions without the concept of time.

But he was afraid that it was not safe enough, so he added a layer of insurance to the contract.

Since she made a deal with him, he had no intention of untying her, so he played a little word game.

After Shen You heard what he said, she suddenly realized what was going on. She stared at him blankly and said two words, "You 6."

As long as she wants to live, it is absolutely impossible to terminate the contract.

There was indeed some wordplay involved in his dealings, and her wariness when they first met was not without reason.

She was still worried about what would happen to Wen Zhi after she died in a few decades.

"Do you want to be the emperor?" Wen Zhi suddenly asked with a smile, "We have plenty of time. The old emperor has issued an edict of guilt, and the military power is in my hands."

If you want to change the dynasty, all he needs is one word.

"Emperor, do you mean to have to get up at four or five in the morning to attend court? And then there are a lot of memorials to be submitted. I can't stand this life."

Shen You thought for a moment and then said, "If you are a tyrant, you don't work every day, just watch people dance and collect handsome men."

Who wouldn’t want that?

Wen Zhi saw the smile on her face when she talked about the life of a tyrant, and fell silent, "No, you don't want to!"
