Chapter 847: Meeting the Prince for the First Time
From the inner city, you can see the majestic Holy Emperor Palace in Gaoqiang from a distance, but when you look closer, this is the first time for Lin Li.
The Royal Palace of the Holy Emperor Dynasty can be said to be a city within a city. The area alone is about the same size as Qingyun City and Great Witch City. The high red walls, like copper walls and iron walls, surround the palace. If you get close to the base of the wall, you can see the runes on the wall.
You can feel a surge of energy. Obviously, the palace is shrouded in an extremely large formation, which is completely like a turtle shell.
Lin Li followed Zhao Danqing through a tall portal with yellow nails and a red background, and his eyes suddenly opened up. His first impression of the palace was that it was huge. The palace was also big, the square was big, and the roads were ridiculously wide.
The big ones are big, but the small details are not ignored. If you stop and look, every stone slab under your feet is carved with exquisite patterns. The white jade sculpture in the middle of the road where only the Holy Emperor can walk is lifelike, every stroke and every painting is
Carefully crafted without any mistakes.
If you make a single mistake, the entire carving will have to start over, and if you make a mistake in the stars, your head will fall to the ground. This is imperial power! The hot spot of imperial power is that it is inviolable and inhumane.
After walking for a full hour, Zhao Danqing still had no intention of stopping. Lin Li couldn't help but think, "The imperial power has been demonstrated, but the efficiency of this kind of work is too slow. Some ministers seem to have gone out very early, but
Most of the time is wasted on the road, and not much time is spent actually doing things.”
Li answered: "This has been the case for dynasties since ancient times. The palace of the Holy Emperor Dynasty is no less luxurious than when it ruled Guiyuan Continent."
After walking for another two moments, Zhao Danqing finally turned around. Lin Li looked up and saw that the road did not branch out anymore and led directly to a main hall. Lin Li's sharp eyes saw the large "Cabinet Discussion" on the plaque under the dripping eaves from a distance.
"Font.
Entering from the portal, this is an extremely spacious hall, but there are only a few tall chairs placed in the innermost part. Several figures are already sitting on the tall chairs, while the larger place is empty, and the floor is paved with majestic patterns.
On the carpet, there were many people standing respectfully, waiting.
Zhao Danqing turned around and said, "Lin Li, just wait here."
"Okay." Lin Li stopped as he said.
Lin Li followed Zhao Danqing in. Naturally, the courtiers participating in the discussion had a lot of speculation about Lin Li's identity. However, Lin Li walked to a corner and stood still, with no intention of talking to anyone.
Walking to the front of the hall, Zhao Danqing sat down on the chair third from the left. The two chairs above him belonged to the prince and the eldest son of the emperor, and below him was the seat of the eighth prince.
Opposite Zhao Danqing, on the chair on the right, are the seats of the Minister of War, the Minister of Civilization, the Minister of Agriculture, the Minister of Sacrifice, and other ministers.
The Holy Emperor did not participate in a meeting of this size today, so these high-status ministers are qualified to sit. In fact, the Holy Emperor spent most of his time in seclusion and rarely participated in government affairs. Government affairs have long been divided among the four
The prince will handle it on your behalf.
Finally, a square-faced middle-aged man wearing a three-clawed dragon robe came belatedly and sat in the highest seat on the left. He was obviously the current prince.
Lin Li stood below, looking at the four princes eagerly. The eldest son of the emperor was the oldest, with slightly darker skin, and seemed to be honest, but Lin Li always felt that his eyebrows were a little gloomy. The prince had a square face, thick lips, and was sitting with a golden sword.
He is quite powerful. The Eighth Prince is gentle and elegant, very much like a member of the Confucian sect. Only those who know his methods would not dare to judge others by their appearance.
"Fourth brother, who is coming with you?" The Eighth Prince noticed Lin Li and asked Zhao Danqing.
After being reminded by the Eighth Prince, several people sitting there couldn't help but glance at Lin Li.
It was him. He was also the one who saved my little girl a few days ago."
"Oh?" the Eighth Prince said slightly surprised. In fact, Lin Li was considered a member of the Eighth Prince's house and had always followed Princess Ya, but now he came in with the Fourth Prince.
In addition, Cookie, the Minister of War on the chair on the right, glanced at Lin Li more.
In the short time that Lin Li came to the Holy Emperor Realm, he actually had a relationship with the Fourth Prince, the Eighth Prince, and the Minister of War. It was definitely a miracle.
However, with the status of the Eighth Prince and the Minister of War, it is nonsense and absolutely impossible for them to step down from the stage to express their gratitude to Lin Li.
Prince Zhao Qikong was slightly dissatisfied with the people around him talking about a little person. He waved his hands and said: "Okay, let's start the meeting. Back then, the Holy Emperor Dynasty moved into this world for better development, but now the opportunity has come and it is coming again.
It’s time to return to Guiyuan Continent. There is no need to worry about the native chickens and dogs of Guiyuan Continent, but the time and space point is blocked by others, which is a troublesome matter.”
Then, all the ministers expressed their opinions and came up with various methods. Some people suggested working on the blocked time and space points to open them up, and some suggested finding new time and space points... However, each implementation is not that simple.
In the end, the Minister of War waved his hand decisively, "The space-time tunnel is unstable, and there are only a few magic weapons that can protect the entrance. It is better to ask the Holy Emperor to take action, first send the elite personnel into the Holy Emperor's Palace, and drive directly to the time and space of the Dark Emperor Realm.
Click, it’s over if you get out from there.”
This is the shortest and most concise method so far. It’s not that others haven’t thought of it, but that no one has the courage to say it.
Cookie continued: "As long as the elite arrive at Guiyuan Continent, they can open the blocked space-time point, and then find a way to stabilize the space-time tunnel, and then complete the migration of the large army."
This proposal was approved by the four princes and several other ministers, but they still needed the approval of the Holy Emperor before they could submit the proposal.
With this, the meeting ended, Prince Zhao Qikong waved his hand, and everyone dispersed.
The courtiers around him filed out, and Lin Li stood by the door waiting for Zhao Danqing.
After a while, the princes and ministers headed by Prince Zhao Qikong came out. Zhao Qikong glanced at Lin Li and suddenly said: "He is indeed a young talent. He has made many contributions to the dynasty at a young age.
, how about you come to the Prince’s Mansion and help me?”
For some reason, the prince was uncharacteristically courteous and offered an olive branch to Lin Li. To others, this invitation was nothing short of good news, but to those who were extremely close to the Eighth Prince's Palace and the Fourth Prince's Palace,
Lin Li, it is extremely difficult to make a choice. It is not okay to agree. If you don't agree, you will offend others.
However, the prince's move was also a form of poaching. Both Zhao Danqing and the Eighth Prince were slightly angry in their hearts. They did not have much favorable impressions of this cruel, arrogant and lewd prince.
The Minister of War also stopped. Because of the relationship that saved Qu Feiyan, the Minister of War had some affection for Lin Li. If the prince blamed Lin Li, he would come forward to ask for mercy.
Lin Li was stunned for a moment, then bowed respectfully, "It's my blessing to be favored by His Highness the Crown Prince! ... But I'm used to being idle and don't want to be restrained. Please forgive me, Crown Prince."
"I don't know how to praise!"
Zhao Qikong snorted coldly, and without looking at Lin Li, he waved his sleeves and walked away.
There was no change in expression on Lin Li's face, no anger, no embarrassment, and not even a drop of pretentious respect.
Zhao Danqing glanced at Lin Li's expression and couldn't help nodding secretly, "Lin Li has not only become stronger, but also has some palaces. It seems that he is not alone, and should have his own power. He has experienced a lot in these years. After all, he is alone.
No matter how well you control your emotions, you may not have any flaws in front of ordinary people, but in front of the dignified prince, your pretense will be shattered by the power of the superior. Only those who are in a high position and do not have much awe can
Handle your attitude with ease."
It is a good thing for people to be arrogant, but they cannot show off their arrogance at any time. Hiding anger, murderous intent and other emotions in the heart and showing them out from time to time is the true sign of maturity. Otherwise, it is just a fool's errand.
The Minister of War, the Eighth Prince and others gave Zhao Danqing a slight signal and then left.
In the Origin of Witch Heart, from the moment Prince Zhao Qikong appeared in the hall, Li sat up immediately, frowning the whole time, as if he was trying his best to distinguish something.
It wasn't until Zhao Qikong stayed in front of Lin Li for a moment that Li's brows relaxed.
Looking at Zhao Qikong's back, Li suddenly said: "Lin Li, do me a favor."
Lin Li asked: "What's wrong, Li. What do you want me to help you with?"
There was light flashing in Li's eyes, "That person is the prince. He has the aura of the Demon King in his body."
"The Demon King?"
Lin Li was shocked, "Could it be that the Prince is the Demon King?"
"Your mind is moving too fast."
Li shook his head helplessly, "Of course not! Are you a fool to think that the Holy Emperor is a fool? The prince has the aura of the heart of the Demon King. I identified it and it should belong to the Seventh Heaven Demon King."
Lin Li asked in confusion: "Isn't the Seventh Heavenly Demon King dead a long time ago? Is his heart still there? What use is the Heavenly Demon King's heart to him?"
"The heart of the Demon King contains great vitality, which is of great help to cultivators. You know, after the longevity realm, the thing that hinders the progress of strength is physical strength, and with the heart of the Demon King, his blood flow speed is enough to reach the previous level.
Ten times, with this level of blood flushing, the body's strength will naturally increase rapidly. The powerful vitality of the Demon King is what human beings long for. I never imagined that the heart of the Seventh Heaven Demon King would fall into his hands."
"Li, is the heart of any use to you?" Lin Li asked.
A flash of excitement flashed in Li's eyes, "It's useful, of course it's useful. It's more useful than you humans, so I asked you to help me."
"What can I help you with?"
"Kill the prince and seize the heart of the Seventh Heavenly Demon King." Li said fiercely.
Lin Li staggered.
…
Lin Li was tortured all the way, but in the end, he agreed by some strange combination of circumstances. Even Lin Li was very curious, how could he agree?
In the next few days, Lin Li carefully prepared and searched for the meager information about the prince.
The prince has a noble status, so naturally he seldom fights with others. We can only guess some clues from the way he used violent means to kill the servants in the palace. There is no accurate positioning of the prince's strength. The biggest gain is the prince's whereabouts and the whereabouts of the prince.
Lin Li really saw an opportunity.
Prince Zhao Qikong has a villa in the suburbs. Although the villa is very elegant, it is a place of obscenity. To put it more vividly, this is a brothel. The only difference is that the prostitutes elsewhere are -
The brothel is open to everyone, but this brothel is only open to Zhao Qikong. There are hundreds of beauties of all kinds serving only him.
This villa was the opportunity Lin Li found to get started.
Lin Lizu lurked outside the courtyard for three days and imprinted the layout of the courtyard in his mind. It was surrounded by mountains on two sides and faced a lake on one side. The environment was very quiet, but at the same time it was also very remote.
Lin Li had calculated the time. As long as the battle was over within half an hour, everything would be fine. In other words, after half an hour, whether Zhao Qikong was killed or not, he would have to escape.
In the evening, a ray of light came from the direction of the Holy Imperial City and fell in the courtyard. Lin Li took a closer look and saw that it was Zhao Qikong whom he had seen in the palace.
But now was not the time, we still had to wait. Lin Li lurked carefully.
