You are already cultivating immortality, who would fight with you alone?

Chapter 241: The Shrewd Mr. Qian

Fang Qing felt that the atmosphere had become unusually strange, so he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Trying to explain: "Mr. Liu... this, I really don't know..."

Before Fang Qing could finish his words, Liu Yuntian raised his hand and interrupted him.

He still stared at the old man kneeling on the ground, and said slowly: "Mr. Qian, you have a lot of experience. Half of the officials in Daliang are your students..."

"Are you dissatisfied that you are not included in the three highest positions?" Fang Qing became even more nervous after saying this.

Fang Qing's experience was somewhat special. He was not in Liang State from the beginning.

Instead, they joined in after the country had gone through difficult times.

When everything began to improve, he suddenly appeared in everyone's sight and quickly became the prime minister, one of the three highest officials.

His status is second only to Liu Yuntian.

Although Liu Yuntian was also at the level of Three Dukes, his official position as the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard was actually added later by Ye Xinglan.

It is declared to be on the same level as the Third Fair and is called the "Fourth Fair".

However, generally speaking, this position is not among the Three Dukes.

But because Liu Yuntian supported the entire northern border alone, people respectfully called him Liu Gong.

Because everyone knows that Liu Yuntian's official rank is not important, because he...

He is the real ruler of Liang State!

Lord Qian pressed his forehead against the ground, with his palms facing upward and the backs of his hands touching the ground.

This posture was regarded as the highest form of kneeling etiquette in Liang State, expressing extreme loyalty and respect.

"I have no such intention."

Liu Yuntian rolled his eyes left and right and asked again, "Do you think that there will be many sects rising up in Liang State in the future, and it will be difficult for you to exert your power as the Internal History of Grain Administration?"

Qian Ge Lao quickly replied: "I am so happy to be able to serve Mr. Liu that I can't sleep!"

At this moment, Fang Qing was completely confused. What on earth was this old guy talking about?

It's not that he's seeking an official position, nor does it mean he wants to quit his job.

I'm so happy that I can't sleep... Since I'm so happy that I can't sleep...

So what on earth is he up to?

Wait... does he want to...? ! !

At this moment, Fang Qing seemed to suddenly understand the true intention of Lord Qian.

He looked at Liu Yuntian in horror.

Liu Yuntian sneered and asked again: "So, you...are you trying to pursue immortality?"

Qian Ge Lao replied calmly: "This old minister is terrified..."

He said he was terrified, but there was no trace of panic in his tone.

Fang Qing widened his eyes and stared at the decayed old man in disbelief.

This old man is terrified...

There are many things that people in high positions cannot say openly, because countless lives are involved between the lines of every sentence.

If you speak it out, it may cause irreversible consequences.

Of course, there are also some people who take chicken feathers as tokens of authority, imitating the tone of voice of those in higher positions and acting as riddlers.

I feel that by doing this, my level has been raised.

In fact, there are no serious consequences for them to speak in a roundabout way.

It’s just because most of the truth is hard to tell, so people try to cover themselves up by finding a roundabout way.

But Lord Qian’s words still carry a lot of weight, and are clearly not just trivial matters.

"Pangkong" means nervousness and fear. At the same time, the meaning of this sentence is that he did not deny Liu Gong's guess.

If you don't deny it, then you are agreeing...

This old guy...

You say he is not afraid of death... He asks Liu Gong for immortality.

You say he is afraid of death...but he actually dares to ask Liu Gong for immortality!

This is a completely unsolvable situation. Does he want to kill himself?

Although national destiny is special, it can allow the entire dynasty to gather the power of heaven and earth, thereby enhancing the country's strength in conquering wars.

But there is only one drawback.

It just can’t make people live forever…

Especially the ruler of a country.

As people age, they become more sophisticated... This is not a compliment.

It is mostly used to satirize those who live too long and are difficult to control.

Especially a leader who has national destiny.

The One who brings down the destiny of a nation will not allow such people to exist.

But the ministers were not bound.

In Fang Qing's opinion, this is the reason why Liu Yuntian has always refused to ascend the throne!

He also didn't know whether this loophole could be exploited.

Because those in power have too much power to call upon fortune.

Even with just a nod of his head, he could immediately start a national war and decide the life and death of countless people.

How could this be hidden from that person?

So before Liu Yuntian could confirm whether he could achieve immortality.

No one dared to mention this word.

If those in power cannot achieve immortality, then you, as a subject, are thinking about immortality all the time.

What do you think those in power will think?

Do you want to outlast him and then rebel?

A new emperor has new ministers. If he were not worried that his descendants would be incompetent, there would be no one to assist them and they would be controlled by people with ulterior motives.

So before an emperor dies, he will definitely find a way to pack up all of his most capable ministers and take them away.

There is no way I'll leave you here to harm my own offspring.

I would rather kill someone by mistake than let him go!

However, for Liu Yuntian, he didn't care too much about it.

Liu Yuntian's powerful cultivation base completely relies on the remaining limbs of the powerful.

This is all thanks to the magical technique called "Shen Lian Qu".

However, although this technique is extremely powerful and can allow a person to gain cultivation effortlessly, it also has a fatal weakness.

That is, the cultivation gained through limbs cannot prolong life, and when new limbs are grafted, life span will be greatly shortened.

In other words, although the starting point is high, the upper limit is very low.

This method is equivalent to exchanging life for cultivation.

This has nothing to do with the country's destiny, because this is Liu Yuntian's fate.

Even if he ascended to the throne, the situation would not change.

Therefore, the idea of ​​Lord Qian in front of him not only did not anger Liu Yuntian, but made him very happy.

As those in power, they like those ministers who are full of desires the most, because the greater the desires, the easier it is to be controlled and manipulated.

Of course, the premise is that these desires do not exceed the control of those in power.

Otherwise it will only backfire.

Lord Qian's behavior was undoubtedly handing over his leverage to Liu Yuntian.

Xianzhong...is not a man of sweet words, and no one wants to listen to sweet words.

Instead, he showed off his real evidence!

It means handing over your life to the other party without reservation!

Liu Yuntian stroked his chin and thought for a moment. This Lord Qian was indeed a shrewd man.

The other party definitely doesn't know the characteristics of the skills you practice.

Only Liu Yuntian knew about the shortening of his lifespan.

Even the Qi family and Liu's father and mother didn't know about this.

The only time he let the secret slip was when he confided it to Qi Xue during the dream of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man.

Apart from these, there is only one possibility.

This Lord Qian has a very accurate grasp of his own plans!

It’s so accurate that it seems like the roundworm in your stomach!

It seems like a risk, a gamble.

In fact, he is confident!
