Chapter 1072 – That Master and Disciple Who Just Wonst Come Out (2/2)
Chen Changsheng said, ”I feel that she will choose a simpler method.”
Gou Hanshi felt he understood what was being implied and asked, ”He is your master. Do you think he will agree?”
Chen Changsheng replied, ”I think there's a forty percent chance.”
Gou Hanshi asked, ”Victory?”
Chen Changsheng pondered the question, then replied, ”Still forty percent?”
Gou Hanshi shook his head and said, ”Only twenty percent.”
This was his view, Qiushan Jun's view, and the view of the Mount Li Sword Sect Master.
Wang Po had only a twenty percent chance of defeating Shang Xingzhou.
Chen Changsheng knew that his insight in this aspect was inferior to the Mount Li Sword Sect's, so he fell silent.
Gou Hanshi suddenly asked, ”If Shang Xingzhou doesn't return?”
After some thought, Chen Changsheng answered, ”I don't know.”
Gou Hanshi looked at him and said, ”I must know.”
Chen Changsheng gazed at the lights of the capital's countless homes and thought of that night three years ago, his eyes turning grave.
”I only know that I don't like people dying and I don't like war, especially here.”
After a pause, Gou Hanshi said, ”This is a blessing for all the people.”
Chen Changsheng bid him farewell, but he did not leave immediately. Instead, he went to a room on the first floor.
It was the outermost room, guarding the stairs—Zhexiu's room.
Chen Changsheng opened the wardrobe and gazed pensively at the thin garment within.
……
……
Just like three years ago, everyone knew that Wang Po had come to the capital, but no one knew where he was.
Some went to the ginkgo tree of Tanzhe Temple, and others searched day and night for him by the shores of the Luo River, but not a trace of him could be found.
If the present Wang Po did not want to be seen, who besides Shang Xingzhou would be able to see him?
From a certain perspective, he was only willing to be seen by Shang Xingzhou.
On a certain morning, the tense atmosphere manifested into reality.
In a single night, the Imperial Palace received several dozen memorials.
These memorials came from the princely estates, the ministries, and the young and vigorous military factions represented by the Eastern Stallion Divine General Peng Shihai.
They had only one request: Execute the leftover evils of the Tianhai government.
To assign Wang Po as a leftover evil of the Tianhai government was naturally completely unreasonable.
This was just the Chen princes and the ministers finally making their stances clear.
At the same time, several dozen letters were delivered overnight to Luoyang's Monastery of Eternal Spring.
These letters contained real blood.
All the officials of the government, military and civil, had wept blood onto their letters.
If the venerable Daoist did not come out, what would happen to the world?
……
……
If Chen Changsheng wanted to meet Wang Po, he probably could, but he had no such intentions.
The letters sent to Luoyang also failed to attract any of his attention.
Other than the one night he went to meet Gou Hanshi in the Orthodox Academy, he remained deep in the Li Palace, seeing no one.
Daoist Siyuan hurried back from Fenggu County while Linghai Zhiwang exhausted himself to the extreme keeping a watch on the Imperial Court and the army. Hu Thirty-Two was even busier, shedding a great deal of weight.
They stood outside the stone room, helplessly watching Chen Changsheng in the middle of his sea of swords.
