Chapter 287 But I don’t want to!

Emperor Yu picked up the tea and took a sip. The taste was acceptable. Although it was not as good as the Yunwu tea specially provided by the imperial palace, it had the sweetness of the mountains.

"You can see clearly." Emperor Yu chuckled.

"I'm used to the world now, and my mind is at ease everywhere." Li Hao said with a casual smile.

Poetry experience +66.

Emperor Yu was slightly stunned and glanced at Li Hao. Thinking of the young man's situation, his eyes flickered slightly.

"No wonder those stubborn old men in Hanlin Hall like you so much."

He seemed to sigh and sigh again.

Li Hao was a little surprised. Isn't the Hanlin Hall a place for literati? He didn't seem to have much interaction with them.

"Come on, let me see if your chess skills have improved. Don't just pretend."

Emperor Yu lifted up his clothes and sat on the futon, saying half-jokingly.

When Li Hao saw this, he also sat upright. He knew that his Majesty was not just here to play chess, but his visit had also brought the answer that Li Hao was waiting for.

But the answer was deeper and heavier than he expected.

This made him feel a little ashamed.

Putting away the scattered pieces on the chessboard, the two slowly made moves.

Li Hao holds Bai.

"Don't give in to me, I don't need anyone to give in." Yuhuang Nianzi said.

Li Hao nodded: "I dare not give in."

Soon, on the chessboard, White's attack was fierce, and he quickly seized the main attack. The layout was impregnable, and Black's could only retreat step by step, and was surrounded by White, unable to break free.

"You kid..."

Emperor Yu grinned slightly, "What a boy, you really won't let me go if you say you won't."

Li Hao coughed lightly, as if he was taking it too seriously. He is now at the sixth level of chess. Although he is just at the sixth level and has not yet reached full experience, he could easily defeat his Majesty when he was at the fifth level.

"Come again."

Emperor Yu obviously refused to admit defeat. In other words, since he ascended the throne as emperor, he had never experienced losing...except against Li Hao.

After three consecutive games, Li Hao still chose to let his Majesty have some fun, rather than crushing him.

Soon, Emperor Yu's chess addiction was cured.

So during the fourth game of chess, Emperor Yu no longer looked so serious and focused. While making his move, he said casually:

"Have you ever thought about the consequences of killing Lord Buddha?"

Li Hao was also able to play chess with ease. When he saw the old man talking about business, his expression calmed down slightly and he said:

"I thought about it."

"Oh? Then what do you think?"

Emperor Yu paused and looked at Li Hao with interest.

"I think senior may have a headache and cause trouble for you." Li Hao sighed.

Emperor Yu was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Then what do you think I will do?"

Li Hao shook his head slightly: "I didn't think about it carefully."

"Didn't you think about it?"

"Well, no matter how I deal with it, I will accept it calmly."

When Li Hao said this, he added: "As long as you don't take my life."

"..."

Emperor Yu stared at the serious look of this young man for two seconds, and said with some confusion:

"You are at ease. Aren't you afraid that Buddhism will put pressure on me, and in order to appease public anger and deprive you of your fame, I will take back the third-class title you finally obtained?"

"If that's all it is, then it's worth killing this Lord Buddha."

Li Hao said.

Emperor Yu was dumbfounded and said angrily: "You are really willing."

"If you give up the love of one day, you will gain the sky of eternity."

Li Hao smiled: "I came here alone, there is nothing I can't bear to part with. We have wine, meat and friends, that's enough."

Poetry experience +166.

"This is what Zen Buddhism says. If the Buddha master can understand, maybe he won't be killed by you." Emperor Yu shook his head and sighed.

"Maybe he hasn't practiced enough yet," Li Hao said.

Emperor Yu glanced at him, and the two looked at each other and laughed.

After he finished laughing, Emperor Yu said to Li Hao, "If I take back your title, will you blame me?"

Li Hao shook his head and silently said: "How could it be possible? This is a reward from seniors."

"But it's also earned through your hard work."

"Without this fame, I would have worked so hard." Li Hao said.

Emperor Yu glanced at him, with a smile on his lips, and lowered his head. When he stopped, he saw that Li Hao had made a move earlier, blocking his other path.

This brat... Emperor Yu was a little annoyed. When it came to business, this brat actually had the intention to play tricks on the chessboard.

No more!

Emperor Yu threw the black pieces he had picked up into the chess box, rolled up his sleeves and said:

"Let's get down to business. I should also thank you. Lord Buddha has been possessed by the devil for a long time. Your move can be regarded as eliminating hidden dangers for Dayu."

Li Hao was startled and asked in surprise: "Senior, do you know that Lord Buddha's avatar is Mara?"

Emperor Yu nodded slightly and looked at Li Hao: "It seems you also know why you didn't tell me just now?"

"Forgot." Li Hao coughed lightly.

Emperor Yu curled his lips slightly but his eyes were deep, as if something was shaking.

Forgot something? This kid is obviously worried that telling him will make it more difficult for him to deal with this matter...

"You..."

Emperor Yu shook his head slightly and said: "This time the remnants of Buddhism are putting pressure on me to deprive you of your title. There are probably demons behind this, trying to divide us and take advantage of it."

"Now there is a way, which is to temporarily aggrieve you. I will tell the world that your reputation will be abolished, and you will be imprisoned to pretend to break up."

"This will attract demons to counterattack, waiting for Buddhism to cause chaos, and turn passivity into initiative."

Li Hao listened quietly and nodded slightly. This is indeed a good idea.

"But in this case, you have to fake it, and you will suffer a lot." Emperor Yu looked at Li Hao.

Li Hao nodded: "Okay."

Emperor Yu stared at him and said, "How do you need me to compensate you afterwards?"

"compensate?"

Li Hao thought for a while and said: "If possible, give me some calligraphy and paintings, piano scores, or chess scores by famous teachers, so that I can admire them, as well as recipes..."

He counted them on his fingers.

"..."

Emperor Yu was silent.

Calligraphy and painting? Piano score? Chess records... what kind of junk is this?

To a wealthy businessman, it might be valuable, but to someone with Li Hao's level of strength, money, power, etc. are all easily accessible.

These things... can only be regarded as garbage.

"Apart from these, don't you want anything else?" Emperor Yu stared at him.

Li Hao thought for a moment and shook his head slightly: "It's gone for now."

When Emperor Yu saw this, he looked at him deeply, said nothing, stood up and said, "It's getting late, I should go back."

"I'll see you off." Li Hao said quickly.

"Need not."

Emperor Yu glanced at Feng Boping in the courtyard, his eyes moved slightly, and said: "He is the Thief Saint, right? It seems that he knows a lot of the Buddha's secrets, and was manipulated by the Buddha. Is this a lack of soul?"

Li Hao whispered: "That's right."

Emperor Yu patted Li Hao on the shoulder and said: "I'll tell the Wang family later. They are in charge of the world's Minghe River. As long as they are within the territory of Dayu, they can basically be found. Let's see if we can find him then." If you can find the dead river where the missing soul is, try to clear the level again."

Li Hao was stunned and said quickly: "Then I'll go now."

Emperor Yu glanced at him, saw the excitement in his eyes, smiled helplessly and said:

"It's useless for you to go first. You're just waiting over there. There are many Buddhist disciples in the Wang family. If they know the news about you, I'm afraid they will be ignorant and offended and add to the conflict. I will inform you when there is news over there. You It’s better to go directly.”

Hearing this, Li Hao thought for a moment and said, "That's okay."

"Don't worry, I'll let them search carefully."

Emperor Yu said, then walked out of the courtyard with his hands behind his back.

Li Hao watched his figure leave. Not long after he stepped out of the yard, he disappeared as if teleporting.

That trace... is not the pull of Dao Yun, nor is it Dao Domain, but... the breath of Dao.

Is this Your Majesty in the Wen Dao realm?

Li Hao was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it, he felt relieved.

Then the Lord Buddha has hidden something so deeply, who among the others has not hidden something?

As the courtyard door closed, Ren Qianqian walked over curiously and asked, "Master, who is he?"

"An old man who can play chess."

Li Hao looked at the place where Emperor Yu left.

"Is he good at chess?"

Ren Qianqian was surprised that the little chess master had never been praised like this by Li Hao before.

"My chess skills are average, but my chess quality is very high."

"Then the young master doesn't win all the time?"

"No, I keep losing."

…

…

Dayuzhou, in the imperial palace of the imperial city.

While Chu Jiuyue waited uneasily, Emperor Yu returned.

He first went to Qiandao Palace to clarify the answer, and then sent people to inform the Wang family to search for the remnants of Feng Boping's soul in the dead river. At the same time, he summoned secret figures one after another to the Imperial Palace.

These people are as silent as ghosts, and are usually invisible to senior officials and ministers.

There was also a bird-like figure among them. After landing in the imperial palace, it contracted its wings and transformed into a girl.

When the secret orders came out one after another, with the Imperial Palace as the center, the power behind the entire divine dynasty was quietly operating.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Anjia from the Buddhist side that they are preparing to cause trouble in various cities and make a big noise in order to force Your Majesty."

Chu Jiuyue reported the news.

Although Emperor Yu in the court had previously suppressed the resistance of the Buddhists for the time being, the Buddhists were now agitated and insisted on denouncement.

After hearing Chu Jiuyue's words, Emperor Yu's expression did not change. He seemed to have expected it. A slight sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth:

"Then let's make trouble. They will get a satisfactory answer soon."

Chu Jiuyue glanced at Emperor Yu and whispered:

"Did your Majesty go to play chess with General Haotian?"

"good."

Hearing this answer, even though Chu Jiuyue had expected it, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

If this were known to Buddhist disciples, they would probably be so angry that they would have a cerebral hemorrhage on the spot.

"Then General Haotian..."

Emperor Yu glanced at him and chuckled: "I gave him a way, the kind that Buddhism expects."

Chu Jiuyue's face changed slightly, and he said expectantly: "Can General Haotian agree?"

Emperor Yu nodded: "I agreed without hesitation."

Chu Jiuyue was startled, secretly relieved, and smiled: "It would be best if General Haotian could understand His Majesty's difficulties and wishes."

Emperor Yu smiled slightly and stared at the word "Buddha" on the desk, but his eyes slowly turned cold:

"But I disagree."

Chu Jiuyue was stunned.

"He is willing to suffer this injustice, but I... don't want to see him suffer this injustice!"

Emperor Yu turned to look at Chu Jiuyue and said, "Didn't you ask me earlier why you were so reassured about him?"

Chu Jiuyue was at a loss.

"Because I can understand this kid."

Emperor Yu said softly: "You can't understand, just like a mayfly looking at the blue sky. Your world is too small, but the child's world is too big."

Chu Jiuyue was shocked. He didn't expect that His Majesty Emperor Yu would attach such importance to the child. It was beyond his imagination.

…

…

When the Buddhist disciples in the cities of the 19 states were about to start a riot, the imperial edict came from the imperial palace of Dayuzhou, saying that the real murderer who killed the Buddha had been found!

The Ministry of Justice and the Demon Suppression Department both proved that the murderer had been investigated.

The murderer was the God of Wilderness behind the seven top demon forces!

The Demon King from the Great Wilderness!

The wars in Qingzhou, Liangzhou, Youzhou, etc. were all directed by the Demon King behind the scenes!

The Demon King sneaked into Wuliang Mountain, pretending to be General Haotian, fought against the Buddha, and killed him!

As the imperial edict was spread, the news also spread to all states, and the world was shocked.

Originally, Dayu Dynasty fought with demons, and both sides fought secretly. Now, Emperor Yu has put this matter on the surface and directly pointed out the existence of the God of Wilderness.

"Demon King? God of Wilderness?!"

"I knew it, how could General Haotian kill the Buddha for a thief saint?"

"It turned out that it was all done by demons, so insidious, they actually used such means to frame General Haotian!"

"General Haotian is a genius who saved the three states, and the hope for the future of my Dayu Divine Dynasty, how could he do such a thing?"

"It's ridiculous that Buddhist disciples keep saying that they saw it with their own eyes. What is the truth if they see it with their own eyes? What kind of magic is that? Let alone demons, even a Shenyou Realm can use sleight of hand to fool Zhoutian Realm warriors!"

"Nonsense, it's clearly your majesty who is covering up, there is no demon!"

"I think your Buddhist sect is the demon, how could General Haotian kill the Buddha, what reason do you have to do this?"

The prestige of the Dayu royal family is very deep. Although there are still people who question it, they are basically Buddhist disciples, and most of the people, nobles, and dignitaries in the 19 states have already believed that it was done by demons.

The people believed, trusting the imperial power and Li Hao's previous deeds.

Some of the nobles trusted the imperial power, while others believed in pure interests.

They could not see the benefit of General Haotian killing the Buddha, which forced them to believe.

The high-ranking Buddhists who received the news were almost furious.

His Majesty not only did not help them denounce the evildoers, but also wanted to use them as guns, using the death of the Buddha to let them exorcise demons?

Too cruel, this Majesty is too cruel!

And this news naturally spread to the demons and to the secret hall outside Dayuzhou.

When the three wild gods, including Moyangzun, heard the news, they were stunned, and their faces turned ugly.

These human beings only saw that the emperor cleverly diverted the hatred of the Buddha's death, but they knew that the other party's edict was not just to excuse the terrible boy, but... to declare war on the three of them!

This means that the opportunity they are waiting for does not exist.

They had anticipated the possibility that the other party would pretend to break up, and had also thought of countermeasures to take advantage of the situation.

But this majesty did not even bother to pretend, and did not use this incident to give them a loophole to attack. Instead, he transferred the anger of Buddhism to the demons, and used Buddhism to raise a sharp spear to defend Dayu.

"It's simply damn it!"

The Demon Sheep Lord looked ugly.
