Chapter 7: The Art of the Illusory Realm

Shi Shouxin, who sent the prince-consort to ambush the news, failed, and even the killer he found had no news. Now that Zhao Kuangyin led his army into the imperial city, the little emperor was completely panicked.

Zhao Kuangyin took a deep breath, and he smiled and came to Chai Zongxun, then held Chai Zongxun with both hands and said, "What is this Emperor? I know, what the emperor did in the past is just blinded by treacherous ministers, right?"

"Yes, yes." Chai Zongxun's head was like a chicken pecking at rice. Zhao Kuangyin smiled and said, "I will behead all the treacherous ministers later to clear the emperor's side. From now on, I will do my best to assist the emperor!"

Even though he said that, Chen Pu, who was beside Zhao Kuangyin, had already pulled out his sword a little. When Chai Zongxun saw the silver-white sword light, his body trembled and said, "General Zhao...No...no need!"

"Oh?" Zhao Kuangyin raised his eyebrows and said, "What are the words of the emperor? Doing my strength to the Great Zhou is my duty."

Chai Zongxun shook his head bitterly: "I don't mean that. I mean that I have been deceived by treacherous ministers and have done things that hurt General Zhao. I can't escape the blame! I know that I am not capable enough, but the Great Zhou needs those who are capable to control it."

"So...I hope General Zhao can take over my position."

Chai Zongxun became more and more sad as he spoke. Who would be willing to give up his great power to others? But under the roof, he had to bow his head. If he refused to give in, what he would throw away was his own head.

"This..." Zhao Kuangyin seemed very hesitant. Although he wanted to take the position of emperor deep down, he still wanted to act like he was only for the Great Zhou in front of others.

Chai Zongxun knelt down again, and he took off the crown of the emperor on his head and presented it with his hands and said, "The eunuch had told me just now that General Zhao had the help of the gods, and it was heaven and earth, so I should give up this position."

"Although this is the case, the First Emperor treats me well, how can I take the throne from the descendants of the First Emperor?" Zhao Kuangyin waved his sleeves: "General Shi, General Chen, you can settle the emperor in the harem and replace the throne. Let's discuss it later."

Chai Zongxun was trapped in the harem and guarded by Zhao Kuangyin's confidants. In this way, no matter how capable he is and how scheming he is, he will not cause any storm.

Everything is about orthodox, not to mention the supreme position of emperor. According to the rules, Zhao Kuangyin refused Chai Zongxun to give way twice before he would accept the throne as if he was "unable to do so" the third time.

Zhao Kuangyin distributed the army to the four gates of Kaifeng, and the imperial army led by Shi Shouxin and Wang Shenqi also took charge of the imperial city. Now the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Kaifeng, has been firmly controlled by Zhao Kuangyin.

The once luxurious palace seemed a little dilapidated at this time. In the imperial city, there were no eunuchs or palace maids except the harem. Zhao Kuangyin reported everyone back and sat alone on the throne of the main hall with his eyes closed.

Zhu Lin walked into the main hall and asked softly: "General Zhao, are you looking for me?"

Zhao Kuangyin opened his eyes, and he walked down the steps in front of the throne and came to Zhu Lin and asked, "Young Master Zhu, Zhao has something to ask you."

"Please tell me, General Zhao."

Zhao Kuangyin pondered, "I wonder who this Qing'er girl is from Young Master Zhu? Although Young Master Zhu said she is your sister, from the look of the Young Master Qing'er girl... Zhao thought it didn't look like it."

Zhu Lin was stunned, and he shook his head and smiled, "Why did General Zhao suddenly care about such a thing? To be honest, Qing'er is a childhood sweetheart who grew up with me."

"Oh! So that's it." Zhao Kuangyin put his hand behind his back. He frowned and walked around the hall twice and asked, "Young Master Zhu, do you think this imperial palace is very magnificent?"

"yes."

Zhao Kuangyin's eyes lit up, and he looked straight at Zhu Lin and said, "Why did Zhu Shaoxia think Zhao's daughter Zhao Qian look so beautiful?"

"Yes, General Zhao's daughter is a beautiful woman, and she is indeed one of the few beauty in the world." Zhu Lin looked at Zhao Kuangyin with a little strangeness. Why did he suddenly ask such an irrelevant question?

"Hahaha, that's great." Zhao Kuangyin smiled and said, "Young Master Zhu has unparalleled skills. Although Zhao cannot predict Zhu's origin, this life of practice is very hard, right?"

"Actually, Young Master Zhu can choose not to live such a hard life. I can give you the prosperity of Kaifeng and the life of wealth and prosperity." Zhao Kuangyin looked at Zhu Lin and tempted: "Not only that, Zhao's daughter Zhao Qian can also be betrothed to Zhu Shaoxia when Zhao ascended the throne. By then, Young Master Zhu will be the prince consort of the empire, and above ten thousand people."

"And I only want one thing to do this." Zhao Kuangyin pointed at Zhu Lin and said, "It's you, Zhu Shaoxia. If you are willing to help me all the time to consolidate my rule, all of what I said will be given to you after ascending the throne."

Zhu Lin frowned. Qing'er said it was true. Zhao Kuangyin really liked his ability. Today's invitation was too expensive.

"I know, the deepest part of Zhu Shaoxia must be very entangled." Zhao Kuangyin said seriously: "Zhao will not force Zhu Shaoxia. All the things I said will be chosen by Zhu Shaoxia. Let's do this. In the past few days, let Zhao Qian take Zhu Shaoxia to Kaifeng City to stroll around. You are familiar with each other. Zhu Shaoxia will think about it slowly. Zhao, don't worry."

Zhao Kuangyin's attitude towards Zhu Lin has always been very low. He also knew that it was unrealistic to force Zhu Lin with brute force, and problems might occur in the end. So he chose to be gentle. He did not believe that with the prosperity of the capital and the beauty of his daughter, he could not keep a young man Zhu.

Zhu Lin clasped his fists and said, "Okay, I'll thank General Zhao." After that, Zhu Lin walked out of the hall, and Zhao Qian was already standing there waiting for him.

"The mission is completed: I have assisted Zhao Kuangyin in overthrowing the Later Zhou royal family."

"Get the mission reward: one of the forbidden spells, the art of the illusion world."

"Open a new mission: accompany Zhao Qian to play in Kaifeng."

“Task Reward:???”

As soon as the sound rang, the information of the magic world's arts entered Zhu Lin's mind. The magic world's arts centered on the caster and extended a magic array outward. Those who enter the magic array will fall into the magic world. Everything in the magic world can be created by the caster.

In other words, the art of the illusion world is the high-level Qimen Dunjia, but the form is more strange and not easy to be broken. Creating all illusions brings infinite possibilities to the art of the illusion world.
