Everyone was suddenly startled and turned their heads, only to see an old man wearing a linen robe and a felt hat who had appeared in front of the palace gate at some point. He was clasping his hands and looking at everyone with a kind face.
"This benefactor, if you don't intend to intercept and kill me, please get out of the way. I need to enter the palace for urgent matters."
Seeing that Chen Jingtian was silent, the old man in the felt hat spoke again.
Upon hearing this, Gongsun Huai, the thin man and the guards of Tianyuan Shangguo all turned their heads and looked at Chen Jingtian in unison.
Chen Jingtian was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to get out of the way, but suddenly thought of the bold words he just said, and immediately took a step forward, completely blocking the way of the old man in the felt hat.
"It's not enough to intercept and kill them, but I just said that if anyone wants to break into the palace, I will definitely keep them!"
At this moment, Chen Jingtian held a knife and shouted: "So it's unfortunate, great monk, you'd better stay today!"
He could see that the old monk in front of him was ordinary, with not even a trace of spiritual energy spreading around his body. He was obviously a mortal with no cultivation.
The two people who broke into the palace just now made him lose all face. Now that he has finally met a soft persimmon, he must take the opportunity to save some face. Otherwise, how will he be able to get along in front of the fourth prince and in the Tianyuan Kingdom in the future?
"In this case, I can only be offended!"
The old man in the felt hat raised his head slightly, raised the corners of his mouth quietly, and took a step forward.
"Hey, Ben asked you to stay, didn't you hear?"
Seeing this scene, Chen Jingtian was immediately furious and stepped out. The sword he had drawn long ago suddenly struck the old man.
"Amitabha!"
The old man in the felt hat did not hide or evade. He softly recited a Buddha's name, stretched out his index finger with his right hand, and pointed it out suddenly.
Click...
The fingertips collided with the blade, and a crisp cracking sound was heard instantly; the long knife was broken into two pieces at this moment, and fell to the ground with a clang.
"How...how is it possible?"
Chen Jingtian was stunned for a moment, dumbfounded.
"Amitabha!"
The old man in the felt hat chanted the Buddha's name again, took a step forward, and bumped directly into Chen Jingtian.
Bang...
With a muffled sound, Chen Jingtian ran backwards again, smashing directly into the city wall and embedded in it.
Seeing this scene, Gongsun Huai, the thin man and the guards of Tianyuan Shangguo were completely stunned and froze in place.
"I'm offended!"
The old man in the felt hat chuckled lightly, without saying much, and walked slowly towards the palace.
It wasn't until the old man's background completely disappeared that everyone came back to their senses. They all looked at Chen Jingtian, whose entire body was embedded in the wall. Their Adam's apple moved slightly and they hesitated to speak.
"Your Majesty... Your Highness... let's go..."
On the palace wall, Chen Jingtian maintained the shape of the word "big" like a sculpture. With tears in his eyes, he said aggrievedly: "Cangyun Palace, it is too... too dangerous..."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present rolled their eyes at Chen Jingtian.
"Walk!"
Gongsun Huai's face was pale at this moment and he was trembling all over. He waved his hand without thinking and turned away.
Are you kidding me?
I originally thought that this visit to Cangyun Empire would be a blessing, but I didn't expect this small place to be so terrifying. Chen Jingtian was his life-saving sign this time, but he lost three times in three battles and was beaten without the ability to fight back.
Fortunately, the other party obviously didn't come for him, otherwise his little life would have been here today!
Although making meritorious service is important, although seizing power is important, no matter how important it is, it can't be compared to one's own life?
This place is too dangerous, it's best to leave as soon as possible.
As for Lao Liu's hatred... it has nothing to do with him anyway. He just needs to return to Tianyuan as soon as possible and inform his father about the matter!
Everyone left quickly and disappeared in a flash.
Seeing this scene, Chen Jingtian, who was still embedded in the palace wall, was stunned for an instant. His eyes flickered and he looked confused: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, you... have you forgotten me?"
...
Chu Palace, Imperial Study Room.
Chu Xiaoao, who was sitting on the dragon chair and correcting memorials, put down his ink pen, rubbed his temples tiredly, and asked his companion who was standing respectfully beside him: "Are the people from Tianyuan Shangguo still waiting outside the Meridian Gate?"
"Return to Your Majesty, you are waiting."
The senior companion bowed slightly and said quickly: "They have been waiting at the Meridian Gate since they sent in the greeting cards, waiting for His Majesty to summon them."
"This Gongsun Huai has no ability, but his perseverance is quite good."
"Your Majesty, after all, Gongsun Huai is the fourth prince of the Tianyuan Kingdom, and he is here on behalf of the Tianyuan Kingdom this time. Your Majesty might have done something wrong by shutting them out like this."
Daban said cautiously: "In case the Emperor Tianyuan blames him..."
"Humph, a thousand years ago, our ancestor, Emperor Chu Yu, once led two hundred thousand cavalry to fight directly to the border of Zhongzhou. At that time, his Tianyuan Kingdom was just a fiefdom of Cangyun. Now, even if Cangyun declines,
Not all cats and dogs can be scared!”
Chu Xiaoao snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "What's more, our Cangyun Empire is tens of thousands of miles away from the Tianyuan Kingdom. Even if Emperor Tianyuan wants to attack Cangyun, he still has to weigh it and ignore it!"
"Your Majesty said so!"
Hearing this, the senior companion nodded respectfully and immediately asked: "However, Your Majesty, Emperor Tianyuan always has to retaliate. Ye Wushuang killed the six princes of Tianyuan Shangguo in the Nanhua Empire, and now that he has returned, I am afraid that Emperor Tianyuan will not let it go.
"
"yes!"
Chu Xiaoao rubbed the sun again and said a little irritably: "That Ye Wushuang is too trouble-making. I originally thought that he could save me a lot of trouble by going to the Nanhua Empire, but he caused even greater trouble.
."
A month ago, he received news from a spy, learning that Ye Wushuang had killed Gongsun Qi, the sixth prince of the Tianyuan Shangguo, in the Nanhua Empire. He was entertaining the Tianyuan envoy at that time, and instantly realized the critical situation and decisively cut off the situation.
In order to get in touch with the Tianyuan Mission, he directly blocked the palace and hid.
After all, in his opinion, neither Tianyuan Shangguo nor Ye Wushuang could afford to offend him, so he could only choose to remain silent and let Tianyuan Shangguo and Ye Wushuang resolve their grievances on their own; but unexpectedly, Ye Wushuang came back!
In this way, the Tianyuan Kingdom will definitely blame the death of Gongsun Qi on the Cangyun Empire and Chu Xiaoao.
As the former largest country in the Eastern Wasteland, Chu Xiaoao was not afraid of the Tianyuan Kingdom; but that was still a country, and if he really led his army to attack regardless of the consequences, the Cangyun Empire would not be able to resist it.
"The Tianyuan Kingdom is the closest kingdom to the Eastern Wilderness. Although it only has a history of several hundred years, it is said that its national power is extremely powerful. If Emperor Tianyuan really wants to attack Cangyun at all costs, we may not be able to stop him.
."
The big companion murmured: "And that Ye Wushuang... Your Majesty, I heard that this boy has extraordinary talents and superb martial arts. At such a young age, he single-handedly defeated the two major factions of Tengjian Sect and Cangyun Academy.
He is the first genius of our Cangyun Empire in a hundred years; but no matter how stunning he is, he is still just a little guy who has not grown up, and he is nothing compared to the country."
"I understand what you mean."
Hearing this, Chu Xiaoao raised his head and glanced at his companion, and sneered: "Huh, he's just a boy with some talent. I saw that he was quite weird before, knew a lot of secrets, and was extremely talented, so
That’s when I started to love talents.”
"But now, since he has provoked Tianyuan Shangguo, I will naturally not protect him. However, if you want to get rid of this son, you need to take a long-term plan..."
"Assassin! Catch the assassin!"
"Protect Your Majesty!"
Before Chu Xiaoao could finish his words, loud shouts suddenly rang out; immediately after, a noisy sound came from outside the imperial study room.
"What happened?"
Chu Xiaoao frowned and asked in confusion.
"Slave, go take a look!"
The elder companion bowed respectfully, turned around and walked toward the door.
Bang...
At this moment, the closed door suddenly exploded, and a blood shadow instantly rushed into the room. He fell to the ground and screamed miserably: "Father, father, help!"
