Haotian sat down and listened to what she said, and smiled: "Isn't it that Miss Bai has become friends with me now?"
Bai Ling'er glanced at her and said disdainfully: "Now and then, if you let me know that things are not what you said, let alone a friend, I won't necessarily kill you."
After that, he turned around and left.
Immediately, he looked at the two spies kneeling on the ground and cursed with an ominous look on his face: "You two losers, why don't you go quickly!"
Although in the eyes of the world, the Imperial City is a must-win place for fame and fortune, for Emperor Shang, this place has been lurking with infinite dangers for hundreds of years.
Whether it is Haotian Pavilion or many sects, they have the idea of coveting the power of the royal family. They don't say it openly, but the undercurrent is surging, and who can escape from this world.
That day in the palace, Emperor Shang was thinking quietly alone on the dragon chair. He really wanted to make the world stable, but how could the Qi Cultivator Continent follow his wishes, even if he was the emperor of the world?
.
"Your Majesty, it's already noon, it's time to have a meal."
The eunuch looked at the time and saw that it was already late, but Emperor Shang remained motionless on the dragon chair.
"The world is so big and I am just a fish, it's really unimaginable!" Emperor Shang said this for no reason, which made the eunuch feel a little scared.
He quickly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the world is your Majesty's fish and meat, how can you be your Majesty!"
Having said that, he buried his head deeply and did not dare to raise it. The emperor's happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy were very important to the eunuch. If he did not pay attention to it, his life might be in danger.
Emperor Shang put his hands on his knees, leaned over to look at him and said with a smile: "I am just a mortal body, how can I compare with the sky? Although the whole world belongs to me, it does not belong to the Qi Cultivator Continent, and
How many sects will listen to my advice?"
The eunuch continued: "Your Majesty, although this world is a world for Qi cultivators, you are the emperor of Qi cultivators. Even if other sects do not listen to Your Majesty, with the Academy here, the Master here, and the Tianjian Sect, then
Don’t worry! Your Majesty, please don’t worry!”
Emperor Shang asked the eunuch to get up, and he walked slowly to the bottom of the steps. After pacing back and forth in the hall for a long time, he said to himself with emotion: "Academy? Master? Tianjian Sect? Even if you can always protect the Shang Kingdom and protect me.
, but who can know their true inner thoughts?”
"Go and call me Jian Shiyi!"
The eunuch was stunned: "Jian Shiyi? He's back?"
Emperor Shang waved his hand: "He has been back a long time ago. There is no other trouble in the border defense of the Shang Kingdom. The only trouble is the Haotian Pavilion in Xihuan. I told him that the border defense was pacified and he was asked to inquire about the Haotian Pavilion.
Dong Xiang, I heard a secret report a few days ago that he has returned. Since he is back, of course I want to meet him!"
After hearing this, the eunuch quickly walked out of the hall and ran out of the palace.
Jian Shiyi is the founder of Tianjian Sect and is also a member of the royal family. When he established Tianjian Sect, it was originally to maintain a balance with the academy. However, since the dean of the academy changed his wife, he has become very peaceful, and
He was also very obedient to the orders and instructions of the royal family. The founder, Jian Shiyi, naturally handed over the Tianjian Sect to his most proud disciple at the time.
He arranged the Tianjian Sect in Xihuan, but he never expected that after many years, Haotian Pavilion would rise for no reason and make the Tianjian Sect restless. Jian Shiyi wanted to go back, but Emperor Shang tried his best to
dissuade.
It is said that in the palace, in the royal family, there should be more or less a few royal family members with extremely high cultivation level, so that they can serve as the last line of defense in times of crisis.
Jian Shiyi's real name is only known by Emperor Shang and the current head of Tianjian Sect, just to make the world gradually forget about this person. The more hidden a person's name is, the more effective it will be when needed.
Therefore, it is not safe for anyone except Emperor Shang's personal eunuch to go to the palace this time.
The eunuch didn't even call for a car and walked on foot, which made the palace guards feel a little strange when they saw him.
At this time, Haotian Pavilion's spies, in addition to those two people, ordered many people to spread out in the imperial city and continue to search for Bai Qinghe's whereabouts.
"Drive! Drive!"
A stern black horse galloped through the bustling crowd, followed closely by two followers, who seemed to be members of the sect.
When the patrolling guard saw this, he raised his spear, which startled the horse and almost caused the man on the horse to fall off.
"Who! How dare you ride a horse and gallop in the imperial city!"
The guard shouted, looking coldly at the man on the horse and the entourage behind him.
The man on horseback took off the token hanging from his waist and showed it to the two guards.
When the two guards saw him, they immediately knelt down on their knees and said, "Young man is too blind to see Taishan. Please forgive me!"
"Is there anything you can forgive me for? As the patrol guards of the Imperial City, you two have done a very good job. It's just that you don't know who I am. There is nothing wrong with that!"
This man's voice was very loud, and the people watching around him were also horrified. The imperial city guards had such a distinguished status. Except for the master of the academy, no one else could make them bow and salute, let alone kneel down. This must have been the case.
The person on horseback has an extremely noble status.
The spies who were observing in the dark also saw this scene, so they hurriedly retreated to inform them.
"Ouch! Why are you so fast? I want to pick you up outside the city myself!"
I saw Emperor Shang's personal eunuch running over.
"Sir, see Chitose!"
When the two guards saw it was Emperor Shang's personal eunuch, they bowed and saluted again.
The eunuch waved his hand for the two of them to step back, looked around at the people around him, raised his head and said to the man on the horse: "The three of you riding on the horse are really eye-catching. Please get off your horse and walk with me!"
Then the man on horseback dismounted, and asked several of his followers with swords to dismount and follow behind.
"I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect you, Chitose, to be so glowing. I wonder how Emperor Shang is doing now?"
The people on horseback seemed to know the royal family very well, especially Emperor Shang.
The eunuch smiled flatteringly: "Master Jian Shishi, we have finally calmed down the border defense. Emperor Shang wants to see you as soon as possible, and please three of you to come back to the palace with me as soon as possible!"
It turns out that the man on horseback is Jian Shiyi, and the swords surrounded by the attendants behind him are the swords he uses, a sword and a scabbard.
"Okay! Come!"
At first glance, Jian Shiyi saw that this man was around thirty, not old, more than eight feet tall, tall, and exuding an indescribable fragrance.
He waved and asked his entourage to step forward and take out a huge bead from his sleeve.
"Lord Chitose, this is a famous luminous pearl in the land of Xihuan. It is different from other luminous pearls. I heard that Lord Chitose is also a Qi cultivator. This bead can not only illuminate the front in the dark night, but also promote the Qi cultivator.
Hai, please accept it!"
The eunuch said with a naive smile: "Master Eleven is interested! Since it is Master Eleven's wish, I will accept it."
Then he hurried to the palace.
After arriving at the palace, the palace guards saw that it was Emperor Shang's personal eunuch and did not stop him.
Jian Shiyi and his two followers stepped directly into the palace holding their swords.
"Sword Eleven, see your Majesty! Long live your Majesty, long live, long live your Majesty!"
Emperor Shang was very happy when he saw it was Jian Shiyi on the dragon chair. He hurriedly walked down the steps and waved his hands upward: "Ah? Jian Shiyi, please get up. What kind of etiquette is there between you and me? We are all royal family members."
We are dear, regardless of each other."
Jian Shiyi stood up and asked his followers to step back first.
At this time, they were the only two people left in the main hall. Even the eunuch retreated and closed the door of the main hall.
Emperor Shang patted Jian Shiyi on the shoulder with a smile and said, "We haven't seen each other for a long time. How are you? How is the land of Xihuan now?"
Jian Shiyi frowned and said after saluting: "In the land of Xihuan, ever since the sect leader of the Tianjian Sect returned from the sect competition, it seems that he has been suppressed by the people of Haotian Pavilion. I have always wanted to intervene in this matter, but I think of how your majesty treated me at that time.
You said, you don’t want me to get involved in the Tianjian Sect’s sect disputes anymore, so I didn’t care about it.”
"When I saw your majesty's edict this time, I rushed back without stopping! I wonder if your majesty has any important instructions?"
Emperor Shang nodded: "Although there are many sects in the land of Xihuan, only Tianjian Sect and Haotian Pavilion cannot be dealt with. But it doesn't matter. People from Tianjian Sect belong to the royal family, just like academies. Even if Haotian Pavilion is no longer
No matter how provocative or tense, his Haotian ancestor would not dare to do anything?"
"But there is something very difficult right now."
Having said this, Jian Shiyi breathed out, and it seemed that he was going to be useful again.
Hibernating in Xihuan for many years, he was somewhat impatient. He kept spying on the movements of Haotian Pavilion, but did not allow himself to take action or participate in it. He had been holding back a fire and wanted to take action very early on.
.
"Your Majesty, for any difficult matter, I will go through fire and water for your Majesty!"
Jian Shiyi clasped his fists with both hands, and his voice was extremely loud, resounding throughout the entire hall.
"The man in the well in the academy has come out. I heard that he has arrived in the imperial city. I just want you to find him before the academy and Haotian Pavilion, and bring him here to me!"
After Jian Shiyi heard this, he asked in confusion: "Your Majesty, do the people in Haotian Pavilion also want to get this man in the well?"
Emperor Shang smiled: "Haha, you may have been to Xihuan for too long. You don't know what happened in the imperial city and the world?"
"The man in the well is the founder of Haotian Pavilion. He has been kept in the well of the academy by Master, but he suddenly emerged from the well a few days ago. The secrets of the man in the well must be very important. I really want to know what the man in the well has.
It's amazing that the Master of the Academy and Haotian Pavilion can value him so much!"
Jian Shiyi didn't ask too much. He probably knew what Emperor Shang meant, so he lowered his head and clasped his fists again and said loudly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely find the man in the well before they do!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the palace. Emperor Shang looked at his back with relief and waved to the eunuch.
He whispered softly: "Go and help me observe secretly. If anything strange happens, tell me in time!"
The eunuch looked at Jian Shiyi who was getting further away, and said with some anxiety: "Your Majesty, Master of the academy, sitting here in Haotian Pavilion, now there is another Jian Shiyi, how can I, a eunuch, observe secretly!"
The eunuch who was shaking while talking made Emperor Shang very worried when he saw it.
"Doesn't the master of the academy know you? Doesn't Jian Shiyi know you? Are you afraid if you find out that he can only ask a few questions? At most, he will be someone from Haotian Pavilion. Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you..."
