Fu Junzhuo offered the Longevity Formula as a price to get Li Chengqian to help, and he was truly panicked.
If Li Chengqian interferes in the affairs of the Sui Dynasty, will the Sui Dynasty still have any territory of its own?
Yuwen Huaji came out to persuade her, but Fu Junzhuo was not to be outdone.
"Mr. Li, the Sui emperor's three campaigns against Goguryeo have caused immense suffering to the people. Do you really want to see the world in such a state of chaos?"
As she spoke, Fu Junzhuo bowed again and presented a box with both hands.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian didn't say anything, and with a wave of his right hand, he sucked the box from Fu Junzhuo's hand.
Upon seeing this, everyone's eyes narrowed.
Mr. Li actually accepted this thing. Could it be that Mr. Li is really about to be reborn?
Li Chengqian opened the box, took out the gold-threaded soft armor inside, and smiled.
"Why did you use the Longevity Mantra to ask me to help you?"
"Do you even know the importance of the Longevity Formula?"
Fu Junzhuo was overjoyed to see that Li Chengqian had accepted the Longevity Formula.
“Rare and precious materials are for those with the ability to obtain them. Although I don’t quite understand the secrets of the Longevity Formula, Mr. Li must know them.”
"Hehehe!"
"Although it sounds like flattery, it's actually the truth."
"The martial arts world of the Great Sui Dynasty has four extraordinary skills: the Longevity Manual, the Compassionate Sword Manual, the Heavenly Demon Strategy, and the War God's Record."
"It's a pity that the people of the martial arts world in the Sui Dynasty have all gone astray, and no one can understand the mystery."
“Cihang Jingzhai is pedantic and stubborn, and not very bright.”
"The Demonic Sect is a disorganized mess, a bunch of idiots."
As for you, Fu Junzhuo...
"They're not much better off than them. They're sitting on a mountain of gold but starving to death. It's ridiculous."
"Three out of four chances to become immortals have been wasted. What a pity."
With that, Li Chengqian returned the Longevity Manual to Fu Junzhuo.
At the same time, everyone in the inn stood up without realizing it.
Immortal fate!
A predestined encounter with a celestial being is just around the corner!
The sudden appearance of a divine opportunity not only stirred the interest of the wandering travelers at the inn, but also those from the No. 3 Heavenly Rank.
Sunflower Ancestor, Zhuge Zhengwo, An Yunshan, Yin Yang School.
All the experts had their eyes on Fu Junzhuo in the inn's lobby.
Chapter 418 The astonishing price offered by Young Master Zhao (Group ID 852104278), the fall of Goryeo.
Faced with this situation, Fu Junzhuo was at a loss for what to do.
Although taking out the Longevity Formula in front of everyone would attract the attention of countless people.
However, as long as this secret to immortality falls into Li Chengqian's hands, all troubles will cease to be troubles.
But Fu Junzhuo couldn't understand why Li Chengqian would give back the immortal opportunity he had already obtained.
Now that things have come to this, Fu Junzhuo is determined to go all the way down this path.
If Li Chengqian hadn't accepted the Longevity Formula, I probably would have died here.
"Mr. Li, what does this mean?" Fu Junzhuo asked, looking at the Longevity Manual in her hand. "Could there be a problem with this Longevity Manual?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian smiled and waved his hand, saying, "There's nothing wrong with the Longevity Formula; the problem lies with me."
"If you ask about other things, I might speak up for the sake of the Longevity Formula."
"But Li doesn't want to talk about this matter."
"Don't even mention exchanging the Longevity Formula; even if you gather all four of the Great Sui Dynasty's extraordinary skills, I, Li, will not help you."
"Moreover, you've gone down the wrong path. If you want to preserve Goryeo, what you need to do is not kill the Sui Emperor."
"Instead, we did everything we could to save his life."
"why?"
Fu Junzhuo's face was filled with disbelief, because she sensed a faint hatred in Li Chengqian's words.
This hatred is not directed at himself, but at Goryeo.
"Mr. Li, you are compassionate, are you really going to just stand by and watch the world suffer?"
"My Goryeo"
"Ugh!"
Li Chengqian raised his hand to stop Fu Junzhuo from speaking.
"Goryeo cannot represent the world, neither in terms of population nor status."
"Moreover, the demise of Goryeo is a foregone conclusion, and I cannot change it."
Upon hearing this, Fu Junzhuo panicked.
"Mr. Li, even the Sui Emperor's three campaigns against Goguryeo failed to destroy the country."
"The Sui Dynasty is in chaos now, and it may not be able to destroy Goguryeo."
Hearing Fu Junzhuo's explanation, Li Chengqian spread his hands and said with a slightly helpless expression.
“Miss Fu, please don’t change what I’ve said.”
"I only said that the destruction of Goryeo was a foregone conclusion, but I didn't say that Goryeo would definitely be destroyed by the Sui Dynasty."
“You’re right. The people in the Sui Dynasty are now living in misery, and powerful clans are everywhere. It is already showing signs of a doomed country.”
"But even a starved camel is bigger than a horse, and the Sui Dynasty was still one of the six great dynasties."
"Its last breath was enough to deliver a crushing blow to any country or dynasty."
"It was precisely because of this that the three great dynasties of Tang, Ming, and Song were slow to launch a war of annihilation against the Sui Dynasty."
"The three great dynasties were all waiting for the Sui Dynasty to breathe its last breath before they would divide up its flesh and blood."
Halfway through his sentence, Li Chengqian paused, and the corners of his mouth turned up more wide.
"Since we've come up with the hypothetical scenario of the fall of the Sui Dynasty, we have to talk about your Goryeo."
"The Sui emperor's three campaigns against Goguryeo all ended in failure. In the eyes of the other major dynasties, you are already a formidable enemy."
"After the fall of the Sui Dynasty, no matter which dynasty occupied it."
"The first thing he wanted to do was to destroy Goryeo."
There are two reasons for this.
"First, the Sui Dynasty attacked you three times but failed to conquer Goguryeo. The fact that you conquered Goguryeo yourself is enough to prove that your country is stronger than Goguryeo."
"The annexation of the Sui Dynasty was ordained by Heaven."
"Secondly, how can we allow others to sleep soundly beside our bed? Other dynasties have just occupied the Sui Dynasty."
"The people's hearts are not at peace and the situation is not stable. Moreover, you are the ones who have withstood the Sui Dynasty's three attacks on Goguryeo."
Do you think the dynasty that conquered the Sui Dynasty would let Goguryeo go?
"Tang, Ming, Song, which of your Goryeo dynasties could you defeat?"
“These three dynasties are not the same as the Sui Dynasty of yesteryear, especially the Tang Dynasty.”
"This is the height of your power, and I don't have a high opinion of you."
After saying that, Fu Junzhuo's forehead was covered in cold sweat, because she could already imagine the scene of war raging in Goryeo.
However, Li Chengqian on the high platform did not seem to intend to let Fu Junzhuo go.
He continued, "Don't despair yet, there's more despair to come."
"Besides the three great dynasties of Tang, Ming, and Song, the Qin Dynasty is also very likely to join this war."
"why?"
Fu Junzhuo's face was full of confusion.
"For no other reason than that, why couldn't the Qin Emperor unify the nine provinces?"
"From the perspective of the overall situation of the Nine Provinces, the Tang and Han dynasties just happened to blockade the Qin Dynasty."
"It was precisely because of the existence of these two great dynasties that the Qin Dynasty was not able to advance unimpeded and attack the Sui, Ming, Song dynasties and many surrounding kingdoms."
"But things are different now. The Sui Dynasty is about to be destroyed, and the Qin Dynasty has a foothold."
"If I'm not mistaken, the Qin Emperor is probably thinking about how to pass through the Han Dynasty and then occupy a piece of land in the Sui Dynasty."
"And by stationing heavy troops there, the areas occupied by the Qin Dynasty will become a thorn in the side of the three great dynasties of Tang, Ming, and Song."
"At that time, whether it is destroying the Han or attacking the Tang, the Qin Dynasty will be able to form a pincer movement."
"Or perhaps, the Qin cavalry would sweep straight in and give the Ming and Song dynasties a severe blow."
"Of course, the Tang, Ming, and Song dynasties would not allow anyone to rashly try to get a share of the pie."
"Therefore, the best place is your Goryeo, and the other three dynasties will most likely stand by and do nothing."
"Am I right, Young Master Zhao?"
After speaking, Li Chengqian looked at Young Master Zhao in Room No. 3 with a smile.
Young Master Zhao calmly drank the Three Lives Wine, while Young Master Song and Young Master Huang also remained calm.
Slowly setting down his wine cup, Young Master Zhao stared intently at Li Chengqian.
"Mr. Li is indeed a man of extraordinary talent. If Ping An Inn is willing to move to Da Qin..."
"Mr. Li may choose any official position in the Great Qin Dynasty."
Faced with the price offered by Young Master Zhao [Linglong] Group 3, Li Chengqian remained unmoved with a smile.
