The majestic imperial city and the extremely high vermilion walls seemed to isolate a world. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty imperial guards with black dots on the top of the city could only see the high walls and flying eaves and lights outside the city.

Ma Zhibai followed the eunuch into the imperial city. The two walked along the dense bamboo sea for a while and met a few cups of tea. They walked through a large rain corridor supported by the red pillars and came to a small palace with a plaque on it.

The young father-in-law turned his head and held a tribute, saying, "Master Ma, the emperor is in the imperial study. You can go in!"

Ma Zhibai pushed the door into the palace, and the entrance was a very high row of bookshelves. The bookshelf was horizontal and vertical, with a relatively ordinary style. The only thing that was a little noticeable was the dense and diverse books, which were all extremely precious treasures. However, no matter how much Ma Zhibai liked books on weekdays, he didn't have much thought at this time.

He walked through the bookshelf and saw the Xia Emperor who was holding his pen to review the memorial. He bowed to the ground and said, "The sinner Ma Zhibai, please see Your Majesty!"

Emperor Xia still reviewed the memorial, without raising his head, and said calmly: "Since the founding of the country of Xia, our country of Xia, there have been great cultivators and Jinshi who did not kneel when they saw the emperor. Why do you kneel?"

Ma Zhibai knelt on the ground and said, "I have beentrayed the holy grace and read the books of sages in vain. I am not worthy of scholars, nor should I be worthy of Jinshi."

Emperor Xia put down the memorial in his hand, then slowly raised his head and said, "You can be regarded as the one I have grown up. I have been waiting for you for a long time for this incident. After all, you still haven't completely disappointed me. Get up!"

A trace of shock flashed in Ma Zhibai's eyes, he slowly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, you..."

Emperor Xia chuckled and said, "Do you really think that the emperor is really such a useless person? You have caused so many troubles below, and you still think that you really hide it from the world. All the world belongs to me, so what can I hide from me? It's just that I want to give you a chance!"

A different feeling surged in Ma Zhibai's heart, and he knelt down on the ground, and said sincerely: "The sinner has failed the holy grace, the emperor has wrongly loved him, and I... I... I... I will die!"

Emperor Xia waved his hand and said, "Get up, don't kneel down at any time. What I want is the ministers who rule the world with me, not the slaves who obey me everything!"

Emperor Xia’s voice is very dull, but it always makes people feel all kinds of emotions. The only thing that is not lacking is invisible oppression. It is different from the pressure of great practitioners. This is a natural pressure, just like the fear of ordinary animals when they see the king of the jungle.

Ma Zhibai felt more moved. The so-called "Sir to die for his confidant is like this. He stood up and said, "I am willing to die if I fail the emperor's grace and are willing to die. The thousands of soldiers in the heavenly spirits can rest, and His Majesty's wrong love is the only one who loves you!"

Emperor Xia shook his head and said, "Ma Qing family, I have my own arrangements for your affairs, you..."

At this moment, a young father-in-law suddenly came in outside the door and reported, "Your Majesty, Mr. Wuque is asking for a meeting."

Emperor Xia's expression moved and said, "Xuan!"

Mr. Wuque is a very special figure in the Xia Kingdom. Although he is an official, he has no real power. He is just a sacrificial wine, and he is still a sacrificial wine that rarely participates in royal rituals. However, no one dares to ignore this great scholar and scholar, an idol in the eyes of all the world.

Even Emperor Xia was very respectful to Mr. Wuque. Although he had been scolded by Mr. Wuque many times, Emperor Xia always gave disciples to Mr. Wuque and would visit Mr. Wuque in person during festivals.

However, Mr. Wuque is not only the center of all scholars, but also in the world, and has a high reputation. For decades, a book of Yijing has dominated the world. Since ancient times, the heroes who violated martial arts in the Xia Kingdom have no use in Chang'an, the capital of Xia Kingdom, just because there is a Mr. Wuque here.

About sixty or seventy years ago, the world's top master, who had the first sword in the world, and could not tell the difference between the three immortals in the world, and entered the capital, challenging Mr. Wuque. The two fought for three days outside the imperial city. In the end, the Badao was suppressed by Mr. Wuque's Book of Changes, and since then he has hidden in the world and has never appeared again.

At that time, the founding of Xia State was in a state of internal fluctuations and storms. The foreign enemies were eyeing each other and there was chaos in the world. However, because of the battle of the imperial city, Mr. Wuque's reputation has been suppressed for decades. Xia State also took the opportunity to stabilize and create six gates to supervise the world and maintain order!

The popularity of civil and military style in Xia State is so popular that it is inseparable from Mr. Wuque.

Mr. Wuque was not interested in power. Even the good emperor of Xia State had changed several times, but each of them had a great respect for Mr. Wuque.

Hearing that Mr. Wuque was asking for a meeting, Emperor Xia Tang Peiyan sorted out his clothes and walked out. He saw Mr. Wuque in a simple Confucian shirt, with his eyebrows as straight as a ruler and his eyes as bright as a spring. Every step he took was a little slow.

Mr. Wuque politely said, "I have seen Your Majesty!"

Ma Zhibai was a little excited and hurriedly said, "Mr. Ma Zhibai, I have met Mr. Wuque."

Tang Peiyan held a polite manner and said, "Student Tang Peiyan has met Mr. Wuque. I don't know that Mr. Huo is visiting late at night, but what's the point?"

Mr. Wuque nodded at Ma Zhibai first, turned to look at Emperor Xia, with a gentle smile on his face and said, "Your Majesty, that kid Gu Qingci is making trouble again."

Emperor Xia and Ma Zhibai were both stunned. Emperor Xia said in confusion: "What did he do?"

…………

It was already deep in the night, and the Ma family mansion was in chaos. Gu Qingci stood quietly. The magnificent true energy of the sun still disturbed the wet wind. Yeyun seemed to be a little confused, and whistling circles and rolled up a lot of dust.

Yi Bo looked at Gu Qingci and said slowly: "Young Master Gu, your mother and brother are really not in our hands now. You can ask Qin Chi."

Gu Qingci sneered and said, "What, can you just shy away from your relationship if you don't say anything in your hands? You are too naive. No matter what tonight, you, Ma Dongyang, have to give me an explanation. Do you really think that anyone in this world can touch my Gu Qingci's family at will?"

Yi Bo said a little angrily: "Gu Qingci, what else do you want? We don't care about your forced entry into the Ma Mansion, and your mother is no longer here. What else do you want to bother?"

"Entangling!" Gu Qingci's eyes froze and he said coldly: "I will let you know what entangling is today!"

As soon as the words fell, the sword suddenly fell from the sky, containing an extremely powerful murderous intent, making a destructive whistling sound, as if the mountain was falling, and it was oppressed by the endless night clouds, and directly slashed towards Ma Dongyang and others, covering the sky and the moon, roaring infinitely.

Seeing the sword coming, the faces of several great cultivators around Ma Dongyang changed drastically, and all burst out of true energy at the same time, and the ground suddenly shattered. However, the sword carried the supreme power and came to his death. It was a murderous sword that was clearly scorching but cold all over his body!
