The lights were brightly lit in the Mingyu Hall of the imperial palace. Emperor Shang was pacing back and forth in the palace. It was late at night, and the footsteps of the eunuchs and maids in the palace could be heard from outside. At this time, Emperor Shang was helpless. Regarding Zhang Binghuan's matter, he was not pitying him.
clan, but worried about the rune master behind him. The sudden visit of the abbot in the afternoon gave him a new understanding of the entire court. Before, he was only focused on dealing with matters on the border between Haotian Pavilion and Shang Kingdom. Now the power of Haotian Pavilion is
It had penetrated deep into the palace, which made him feel cold in his heart.
"These two damn guards, Tianwenyuan hired someone to do this!"
Emperor Shang originally asked his guards to go to Tianwen Garden to call Li Cunshan, but most of the day had passed and there was still no sign of anyone. And this matter could not be known to outsiders. Although many ministers in the court knew something about Tianwen Garden, Li Cunshan did not know about it.
The person is the rune master behind Emperor Shang. Li Cunshan plays a very important role for Emperor Shang and the entire Kingdom of Shang. He is also the most powerful trump card for Emperor Shang.
If Tan Zhonghe hadn't said that Zhang Binghuan had the support of a rune master, he would never have summoned this person.
"His Majesty!"
A familiar voice reached Emperor Shang's ears, and when he looked back, it turned out to be Tan Zhonghe.
The Shui Yu Palace is the only palace without a gate in the imperial palace. The history of this Shui Yu Palace is very complicated. To put it simply, when Emperor Shang first ascended the throne, he broke through the imperial gate of the previous dynasty and sat on the throne. It is the historical witness of the first dynasty.
In the emperor's meeting hall, when Emperor Shang led his troops to attack, he smashed the door to pieces with just one palm. In order to witness this moment, Emperor Shang ordered people not to build this door again, in order to remind himself all the time, if
If you don't do well enough in the future, sooner or later others will break through the imperial city and go straight to Huanglong like you, forcing you to abdicate!
"Your Majesty! It's late at night, and there's a dark wind blowing around in the Imperial Palace. It's better to rest early! After all, the dragon body is the most important." Tan Zhonghe said softly.
Emperor Shang turned around with very dim eyes, looked at Tan Zhong and Navino and said, "I'm fine, you can go down first. This dark night is the best time for me to think!"
After hearing this, Tan Zhonghe was about to leave, but was stopped by Emperor Shang.
"By the way, Tan Zhonghe, how is that Zhang Binghuan?"
Emperor Shang did not dare to ask him to come in. He could only respond outside the palace: "Reporting to your majesty, Zhang Binghuan is currently under house arrest in the inspection department. It should be okay. I have been there today, and the director is also actively looking for evidence.
only...."
Emperor Shang raised his eyebrows: "I know what you want to say, isn't that person also gone? Get down!"
After Tan Zhonghe left, Emperor Shang faced the dark night outside the palace, and his heart sank. He knew that Sun Guozhang would definitely go to the inspection department. If it was exactly what he thought, the queen would not be able to keep her.
.
I couldn't help but sigh.
"Report!"
At this time, there were rapid footsteps outside, and the two guards knelt on their knees outside the hall, not daring to raise their heads.
Emperor Shang took a look and frowned: "What's going on? Where are the people I asked you to bring!"
The two guards were trembling, their faces turned blue, and they seemed to be scared.
"I'm asking you a question!"
Emperor Shang was anxious for a moment, and his voice suddenly became louder and resounded throughout the entire hall. Even the patrolling eunuchs outside heard it clearly, and they all knelt down in fright.
One of the guards slowly raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Li refused to come. We have been dealing with him for several hours, but he just refused to come. Even the two of us refused to come.
I attacked him, but I am no match for him, please forgive me!"
Emperor Shang beat his chest to try not to be angry, but he also knew that Li Cunshan was an eccentric person, and sometimes even if he personally invited him, he might not be able to do so.
Seeing the sweat on the frightened foreheads of the two guards, Emperor Shang waved his sleeves: "Okay, okay, go down! Don't make me angry here! What I asked you to do today,
If you dare to reveal anything to the outside world, you know the consequences..."
The two guards responded fearfully and hurriedly retreated.
Emperor Shang was a little disappointed, even more disappointed: "Huh! Li Cunshan, Li Cunshan, you have to force me to invite you in person!"
Emperor Shang, who was talking to himself, looked around the Imperial Palace, waved his sleeves and walked out.
Although the Tianwen Garden is very close to the Tianyu Palace, the Tianwen Garden is an abandoned corner in the palace, and even the eunuchs and maids will not pass there.
Because it was the place where the emperor of the first dynasty committed suicide, and it was rumored in the palace that there was a lot of injustice in that place. People who went there either went crazy for no reason or died for no reason, so most people would not go there.
And the only ones who knew the real reason were Emperor Shang and his two personal guards.
Emperor Shang took advantage of the darkness to speed up his pace and hurriedly came to the courtyard of Tianwenyuan. He found that the place was much desolate. The night wind rustled through the wild grass in the courtyard, making it look particularly desolate.
Emperor Shang said sternly in ventriloquism: "Li Cunshan, you are really more noble than me. Every time I invite you out, I come in person!"
His cynicism seemed to have no effect on the people inside, so he slowly walked in.
The moment he stepped into the courtyard, there was a sudden strong wind around him, but it had no effect on Emperor Shang. He calmly walked to the room in the courtyard and knocked on the door.
"Li Cunshan, what you do is of no use to me. It's not like you don't know my realm and cultivation level!"
After Emperor Shang said that, suddenly countless flying blades appeared around him and attacked him. They looked very scary under the moonlight. However, Emperor Shang raised his hand slightly, and in an instant, a huge defensive barrier was formed around his body.
.
"Open the door quickly!"
And there was a burst of laughter from inside the door: "Your Majesty! Your skills seem to have strengthened again! Your Majesty's participation in the sacrifice and tempering a few years ago was really not in vain. If Wang Bingwu knew about it, he would probably be pissed to death! Haha!
Haha~"
Emperor Shang pursed his lips and smiled slightly: "It's useless to talk more. I have something urgent to do with you. We will discuss other matters later!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the room in the deserted garden opened a crack.
Emperor Shang opened the door directly and walked in. Although there was a deserted yard outside, the house was very tidy. An old man was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at Emperor Shang with very kind eyes.
"The two guards around His Majesty have made little progress. I have always wondered why His Majesty, with his advanced realm and cultivation, is protected by two incompetent guards?"
Emperor Shang sat on a chair by the door and said: "It's just a cover-up. Even though everyone in the court and even the entire Qi Cultivation Continent knows that I am also a Qi cultivator and is on par with Master, they have never gained the true strength."
You know, and these two guards can just give me a cover! It’s not like you don’t know this, why do you ask so suddenly?”
The old man jumped down from the edge of the bed, stroking his long beard and said: "Your Majesty, you are really deceiving me by doing this. What trouble did you encounter when you came to me so late?"
Emperor Shang's eyes trembled slightly, and he tilted his head and glanced at him sideways: "Do you know Zhang Binghuan?"
The old man shook his head: "Who is he? How do I know you, your court, your ministers? What do you mean by this?"
"He also has a rune master under him. Don't you know much about the rune master?"
Emperor Shang's words really piqued the old man's interest.
He came and sat down opposite Emperor Shang: "Are you saying that this person named Zhang Binghuan has a rune master under him? Does your Majesty know who this person is? What is his name?"
Emperor Shang glared at him helplessly: "If I knew, why would I come to you for anything? But I know that he is in Xihuan now. According to the information..."
Before he could finish speaking, the old man crossed his legs and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is testing me, or has heard some lies. The person you mentioned should be on the border of Dongchu, in Luo Yu City, how could he be here?" Xihuan? If Wang Bingwu were in Xihuan, it’s impossible that Wang Bingwu wouldn’t know about it. One of them would have been dead and the other injured. How can His Majesty still have time to come to me?”
When Emperor Shang heard this, he found out that he knew this person.
"It seems you really know. Can you tell me about this person?"
The old man looked at him strangely and stood up. Although the old man was short, he was very powerful. His long frost-white hair and long beard made him particularly enigmatic.
"Why does your Majesty ask this? Your Majesty should know that the reason why I agreed to your stay in the palace is to avoid the compatriots outside. As a rune master, he is doomed to be alone all his life, and he is destined to take refuge in one person. Otherwise, there is only one fate for the rune master. Then He just lives alone and has nothing to do to understand this life, so your Majesty does not need to know too much about the rune master in Luo Yucheng, I am a thousand times, ten thousand times more capable than him!"
Seeing how confident he was, Emperor Shang smiled, got up and walked a few steps back and forth in the room, and then he couldn't help but said: "When I didn't know there were rune masters in the world, I had a discussion with you, and I didn't know why. I forgot, but I vaguely remember that I couldn't even get close to you at that time."
"So, I have invited you into the palace, and I have been inviting you for so many years. I also know that there are not many rune masters left in the world, but after taking you in for these years, can't you do something for me?"
Emperor Shang's words made Li Cunshan a little confused: "What should we do? Is your Majesty joking?"
"A few years ago, you pretended to be a temperer and tempered the soul-eating blood beads in Xihuan..."
Li Cunshan was halfway through speaking when he was interrupted by Emperor Shang: "You guys, this is the palace, the palace! What do you mean by saying these words so blatantly? I really feel that I can't control you!"
Li Cunshan, an old man, was not afraid at all, but seeing Emperor Shang's reaction being so great, he waved his hand: "Okay! I won't say anything. Your Majesty must also understand what I mean. I have done everything I should do and help you." Everyone has also helped, and as I said, except for the rune master's matter, other things are duty-bound!"
"Invincibility starts with sacrificing the ancestor"
Seeing that he still didn't want to say anything, Emperor Shang's heart sank, and he suddenly thought of a way. Then he raised his mouth slightly and said, "Li Cunshan, don't you want to be the only rune master in the world?"
The so-called rune masters, in addition to today's qi cultivators, also have the unique Haotian Pavilion, which is the most mysterious clan. Their unique skills and cultivation are exactly the same as Zhou Chuji's cultivation. The realm of cultivation is also called the realm. Upper Realm; however, there are so few rune masters that there are rumors that if a rune master does not find his final home, he will live alone and die doing nothing; and this kind of home is not something they seek by themselves, but depends on chance. Recognized and reused by others.
Throughout the ages, many rune masters have died in other places, or died in obscurity with regrets.
Although Li Cunshan met Emperor Shang, he still couldn't use his burden and could only do some dirty and dirty things for Emperor Shang in times of crisis.
"The only one? What does your Majesty mean? You want me to go to Luo Yu City to kill that rune master?"
Emperor Shang said with sharp eyes: "I'm not asking you to kill me, I just want you to tell me who he is? Zhang Binghuan once said that the rune master has a treasure in his hand that can absorb the essence of heaven and earth, as well as the puppet method set by Haotian Pavilion.
, so I came to ask you if there really is such a treasure!"
"We are both rune masters. If he has it, why haven't you?"
Emperor Shang's question made Li Cunshan suddenly frown, and his face darkened.
"Your Majesty is saying that the treasure in his hand can absorb Haotian Pavilion's puppet technique? Could it be that he is not the person I mentioned, but another one?"
"In that case, I'll just go there!"
Emperor Shang originally wanted to ask him who this person was and what the treasure was, but he didn't expect that Li Cunshan would personally ask for it. This gave Emperor Shang a very good suggestion.
"You want to go to Luo Yu City? That is the territory of the Luo family, and it is also my city. Since you want to go, that's the best thing!"
"But you have to go back quickly. If this treasure really exists, you must bring it back. The reason why the Xiuqi Continent is in a mess caused by Haotian Pavilion is because they are afraid of their puppetry. Even I am sometimes afraid. Once
Someone infiltrated into the palace and used puppetry to control me, so what!"
Li Cunshan laughed and said: "Haha, it turns out that your Majesty is sometimes afraid, but with your Majesty's level of cultivation and realm, I may not be your opponent, so what do you have to fear?"
"Okay! Since Your Majesty trusts me, I haven't left the palace for a long time. I will definitely handle this matter when I go out this time and give an explanation to Your Majesty!"
"It's just that if this person is really who I think, I may never come back!"
Li Cunshan's words were suddenly so heavy, which made Emperor Shang hesitate: "I don't know when such a person appeared in Luo Yucheng. If there is really danger, you come back immediately. When Master returns to the academy, the three of us will
It’s not impossible to have a good talk!”
Li Cunshan looked at His Majesty's hesitant face and patted his shoulder: "Your Majesty! You are good at everything, but your mind is too heavy. That incident back then makes you regret it to this day; I once said
, even if you hadn’t tempered that bead, the Haotian ancestor Wang Bingwu would have taken that step sooner or later, but His Majesty was ahead of him!”
"And that Rune Master, to be honest, is probably my senior brother. The ancestor of Master Fu has passed away long ago, and there is no one else in charge of that treasure except senior brother!"
What Li Cunshan said made Emperor Shang very surprised: "You mean that treasure really exists?"
"It does exist, but I have never seen this treasure before, and I have no idea of its functions and effects. When I get to Luo Yu City, I will find out for myself..." This chapter has been completed!
