Imperial City.

There is a high platform outside the city gate, with eight stone dragons carved around the pillars. There is a special amplification array on the platform, and the sound emitted from it can be immediately spread throughout the capital of Yu.

Whenever there was any important news in the palace, the people would be summoned here and informed by the palace officials. During important festivals such as the Yuan Dynasty and the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor would sometimes go up to this stage to speak.

Therefore, this platform is also called "Dragon Platform".

For the disciples of the Immortal Sect, the honor they yearned for the most when they were young was naturally the "Roll Call on the Dragon Stage and the Qinghong Banquet".

Among them, the Longtai roll call means that the winner of the Immortal Gate Conference will board the Longtai to let his name be heard by the people of the entire Yu capital city, and then it will spread throughout the world, no one knows it, and no one knows it.

dawn.

The Qinghong Banquet refers to the subsequent banquet for entering the palace.

In the back garden of the palace, there is an extremely rare spiritual bird called Qinghong. Since ancient times, the number of this Qinghong bird has been decreasing and it was once on the verge of extinction.

Because its meat is so delicious.

Legend has it that it is a spiritual bird raised by the gods in the sky. One of them accidentally escaped and fell into the world, and the Qinghong Bird became the world today. Nowadays, there are only this group of birds raised by the imperial palace in the world, and there are not many of them. So on weekdays,

, even the emperor is not allowed to eat it.

Only after the Immortal Sect Conference is over and the winning Immortal Sect disciples enter the palace, can they kill a Qinghong, and the Emperor and his disciples will have a banquet to taste it.

These are the infinite honors given to the winners of the Immortal Sect Conference.

In response to this, Di Nv Feng, the former first place winner, made a sharp comment in the car: "The roll call on Longtai is so boring. There are just a lot of people watching around you, just like playing monkeys. But that chicken

It tastes really good. When you eat it later, you'd better pack one for me."

Seeing the master holding his shoulders and talking about the old god on the ground, Chu Liang couldn't help but ask: "Isn't it true that the emperor and a group of people eat one together? Isn't it not good to just pack it up without opening the banquet?"

Think about that scene. The emperor had waited for twelve years and finally had a taste of Qinghong meat. The geniuses of the immortal sect next to him were waiting with bright eyes. As soon as the whole Qinghong meat was served, he went up and opened a bag.

, packed up the whole thing, and then said that my master is hungry...

I'm afraid I won't be beaten severely.

"That's right." Emperor Daughter Feng smacked her lips and said, "Then I'll try to make one another day. The recipe last time was too cumbersome and I couldn't make it. But I feel that the meat should be quite delicious if it's grilled directly.

.”

Chu Liang was agitated and noticed something was wrong.

The emperor usually doesn't allow it to be eaten. How do you plan to get it out? It must not be a legal way, right?

"Master, be careful with your words and actions," Chu Liang advised.

Good guy, if you are caught stealing chickens from the palace... what will you do if you affect the next generation?

Because there is nothing wrong with this.

The master and apprentice talked all the way, and the carriage drove into the imperial city. A guard opened the curtain and inspected it, then immediately bowed and let him go.

The gates of the imperial city opened one after another, and the carriage slowly drove into the palace garden and came to a side hall.

"Boy, Yelong Palace has arrived, please get out of the car." A familiar voice sounded outside.

When Chu Liang got out of the car, he saw that it was Lao Santai, an acquaintance.

"Rolex." He greeted first, and Lao Santai responded with a smile.

After the emperor's daughter Feng got out of the car, Lao Santai led the two of them into the palace, and at the same time whispered: "I heard that you two had some conflicts with Cheng Hu in the Supervisor's Mansion. He is also an old man in the palace, but

We are worried about the safety of the royal family and nobles, so please Miss Feng and Young Master Chu not to take it seriously."

"It doesn't matter to me." Emperor Nvfeng said nonchalantly: "It's not me who gets beaten anyway. Just remind him not to hold grudges."

Her tone was semi-threatening.

"Of course it won't happen." Lao Santai said hurriedly: "Cheng Hu asked me to apologize this time, and he didn't dare to be angry at all."

Naturally, Chu Liang had nothing to say. He just glanced at Lao Santai and did not expect that he had a good relationship with Cheng Hu, the two eunuchs.

In fact, what he didn't understand was that because the leader of the Four Hercules, Cuan Longjian, who was in charge of Yao Dengxian, was too powerful, the other three eunuchs had always united to maintain their status in the inner court. If there was a slight disunity, I'm afraid they would

All three of them will become Yao Dengxian’s godsons.

As he was talking, he took a few steps and arrived in front of the Night Dragon Palace, where the emperor would handle government affairs after leaving the court.

The palace looks quite quaint, and it seems that it has not been repaired for a long time. The side profile also reflects the emperor's temperament.

In the past few decades since he succeeded to the throne, the current emperor has been keeping light taxes and simple administration. Although he has not taken any action, he rarely causes trouble. For the emperor of Shoucheng, this may not be a bad idea. At least until the news of the return of the demon god comes out.

, the overall people's livelihood in the Yu Dynasty was good.

"Your Majesty." When they arrived at the palace gate, although the gate was open and the golden screen could be seen inside, Lao Santai did not dare to enter. Instead, he said in front of the gate: "Miss Feng and Young Master Chu are here."

Immediately, a voice came from inside: "Please."

…

This was the first time Chu Liang saw the Emperor of the Yu Dynasty. At first glance, he saw an old man in bright yellow dragon robes, with tall eyebrows and broad eyes, quite majestic.

But he is not too afraid. The imperial power in this world is not so divided. The masters of the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect can treat him as equals when they see him. The disciples of the Immortal Sect have the right to go to the temple without worshiping. The emperor has no respect for those in the Immortal Sect.

You can't even call me "I"... Anyway, there are many privileges.

Chu Liang and Master Wen Yuan had always talked and laughed happily, so naturally they had no respect for the emperor.

On the contrary, when the emperor saw the emperor's daughter Feng, he looked slightly embarrassed and said with a smile: "Second Aunt is here."

"Yes." Emperor Feng nodded and replied, "Why are you here with us?"

"This time, the poisonous poison in Yudu City caused quite a stir, and everyone in the palace was greatly affected. Thanks to Chu Shaoxia, he turned the tide and saved many lives in the city." The emperor looked at Chu Liang with approval, "He is again

Second Aunt, your disciple, I should meet you and give you a commendation."

"Is there a reward?" Emperor Daughter Feng's eyes lit up, and she immediately cupped her hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Master, our belated courtesy is quite unnecessary... Chu Liang said silently in his heart.

The emperor looked at Chu Liang with gentle eyes and said with a smile: "Chu Liang is young, talented, and looks like a talented person. I have also heard of the name of Sword Cutting Yao, and it seems that his temperament is also first-class.

, or come from a famous family like Shushan..."

Um?

Listening to these words, Chu Liang suddenly felt that things were not simple.

Sure enough, I heard him say immediately: "I have a daughter, who has just reached the age of marriage. She was born with the divine fire destiny, and she is also an outstanding talent in the royal family. Why don't we let them get married... How about we

How about a kiss?"

"Your Majesty." Chu Liang immediately cupped his hands, "This is inappropriate."

"You don't have to rush to refuse." The emperor added: "My daughter is extraordinary in appearance. You will also like her when you see her."

"I'm still young, and I'm at the age to fight for Shushan. I don't have any intention at the moment..." Chu Liang was trying to imitate Xu Ziyang's style of speaking and make up a reason.

"Forget it." The emperor's daughter Feng waved her hand, "My disciple has his own mind."

Chu Liang's words stopped suddenly and his face turned red.

"Haha, that's it." The emperor also smiled when he heard this: "That's a bit of a pity, I really think it's good."

"Besides, I am your second aunt." The emperor's daughter Feng said: "My apprentice is your equal, if you let him marry your daughter again, won't it be a mess?"

"..." Chu Liang and the emperor were silent for a moment at the same time, not knowing how to answer these words.

After a pause, the emperor said again: "This marriage cannot be granted. I don't know how to reward you for the moment. What do you want?"

As soon as he heard this, Chu Liang became energetic.

He took a step forward and said suddenly: "I, Shushan, have recently opened a Red Cotton Peak. I wonder if your Majesty has heard about it? If it is an award, it does not need to be awarded to me personally. I hope that the imperial court's shops can open several branches on the Red Cotton Peak.

, I wonder if it would be possible to expand the scale of Red Cotton Peak?"

"Oh?" The emperor exclaimed, which was an unexpected answer.

There are also many shops for practitioners in Yudu City, many of which are indeed run by the imperial court itself. And because the imperial court and Taotie City have always had an overt and covert competitive relationship, there are no shops controlled by the imperial court in Taotie City... at least openly.

None.

If several stores can be opened in Hongmianfeng this time, it will show that the imperial court recognizes Hongmianfeng. It does not matter if the store is big or small, but the meaning is different.

In terms of just a few branches, it is indeed not an excessive request. But once this opening is opened, it is not easy to predict the subsequent development.

So the emperor hesitated a little.

"That's it?" Emperor Feng said suddenly: "Compared with a princess, are the rewards from several stores too small?"

"Master, a few stores are enough, as many as you want are as many as you want." Chu Liang said with a smile.

"Doesn't this seem like your majesty is not grand?" Emperor Daughter Feng said: "You have saved so many people in Yudu City, so you can just open a few shops... maybe you can make a lot of money for the court by opening them. What kind of reward is that?"

"It would be great if Your Majesty agreed." Chu Liang said again.

"No way?" Emperor Feng was suspicious: "Is it possible that I won't agree?"

"Hahaha..." The emperor on the dragon throne couldn't help but smile bitterly. He looked at the master and apprentice who were singing along and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, how can I not agree? I will let the Department of Internal Affairs take charge of this matter.

All the shops on Mianfeng are also in charge of Chu Liang."

After thinking for a while, he added: "Since we can't get married, since you and I are equals anyway, how about I call Chu Liang the 'imperial younger brother'?"
