Underground Black Market Thousand Machine Pavilion.

In an ordinary Accord, a man with a silver mask on his face sat on a chair and listened carefully to the respectful report of a hunchbacked old man in front of him.

When the hunchbacked old man mentioned that there were three mysterious guests who came here to ask about Haizun Ding today, the man wearing the silver mask obviously trembled violently with his right hand.

But he didn't rush to ask, but patiently listened to the hunchbacked old man finish talking about the matter, and then asked.

"Can you find out who those three are?"

The hunchbacked old man nodded and replied respectfully.

"The subordinates have ascertained that those three people are from the Five Poisons Sect in the south, they are Helian Chong, the leader of the Five Poisons Sect, and his disciple Zhuo Duyun.

The last person, that is, the woman who asked about Haizunding, is now the wife of the sect leader of the Five Poisons Sect, and ten years ago, she was the Feiyue Princess of Haifeng Kingdom. ”

The man with the silver face stood up, as if he couldn't hold back the excitement and excitement in his heart.

He said slowly.

"Haizun Ding is the treasure of Haifeng Kingdom, and it is rumored that only the inheritor of the sea god can use it.

But now that Haifeng has been destroyed for ten years, it is difficult to find an ordinary Haifeng person, where are we going to find a Seagod inheritor. ”

The hunchbacked old man's eyes shone brightly and said.

"We have already had information in Qianji Pavilion, and the inheritors of the sea gods of the past generations are all women of the royal blood of Haifeng Kingdom.

That Feiyue Princess has been cultivated as an alternative inheritor in the past, maybe her bloodline can enable the Seagod Ding. ”

The masked man paced slowly in front of the old man with his hands behind his back, and after a long time, he said firmly.

"No matter what, I'm going to give it a try, legend has it that the Haizun Ding is one of the last artifacts in this world, if I can control its power, who else in this world would dare to be my enemy.

You find a way to capture the princess of the dead country, and I will use her bloodline to open the artifact. ”

The hunchbacked old man nodded yes and slowly exited the room.

Three days later, Yunping visited the post house and informed Xue Jian to enter the palace with him to meet the emperor.

Walking on the avenue of stepping into the palace, Xue Jian looked around, the surrounding guards were strict, the palace wall was as high as a city tower, and the Dayu Palace was different, the palace of the Southern Ming Empire was more like a military fortress.

Yun Ping chatted with Xue Jian without a stubble, and Xue Jian was able to deal with it calmly this time, and even took the initiative to mention some stubble.

"Brother Helian, I think how high-spirited we were when we fought together in Haifeng Kingdom, at that time you were a hot new general in the army, and I was still a little captain, I always remember your kindness to my promotion. ”

Hearing Yun Ping's memories of the past, Xue Jian's heart sank.

It seems that because of the death of the post house guy, Yun Ping's suspicion of him is even heavier, so he deliberately said this paragraph to test Xue Jian.

Xue Jian sighed, his face showed a look of remembrance, and he smiled with emotion.

"I also miss those years very much, I still remember that you broke into the Corner Valley alone, killed more than 200 enemy soldiers, and when we came to the rescue, you only had half a breath left.

It was through this battle that you were promoted to lieutenant, and fame and fortune were earned by you in exchange for your life, needless to say, my promotion. ”

Yun Ping showed a sincere smile on his face, and the doubt in his heart immediately dissipated.

It didn't take long for him to lead Xue to the Imperial Garden of the Imperial Palace, where in a lotus pond pavilion, he saw a young man bent over and scolding Fang Xuan on the stone table.

The young man looked like he was about twenty-five or sixteen, except for his slightly dark skin, his eyebrows, eyes and face were extremely handsome, he was dressed in a bright yellow robe, and he was well-dressed and had an extraordinary bearing.

The two walked outside the pavilion, and Yun Ping and Xue Jian bent down to greet each other.

"Wechen see His Majesty the Emperor. ”

The young man stopped his pen and raised his head to show a spring breeze and a smile like a spring breeze to the two of them.

"Don't be polite, the two Aiqing come in quickly. ”

Yun Ping and Xue Jian walked into the pavilion together and stood respectfully to the side.

Xue Jian carefully looked at the person in front of him, and then looked at the calligraphy on the table, the words were like the person, they were all square and beautiful.

When he didn't meet, he felt that the emperor of the Southern Ming Empire must be extremely cowardly.

After all, there is a witch palace pressed above, and the emperor has no power at all, so he is not aggrieved.

But after the meeting, his opinion of the emperor changed somewhat.

This person should not be a puppet to be manipulated.

The young emperor looked at Xue Jian with a smile and said.

"I have long heard that Helian Aiqing likes to read and write in his spare time, can Helian Aiqing comment on the Qinglian post I just wrote. ”

Xue saw his eyelids jump, fortunately he was also a scholar before, otherwise this question would definitely have to be exposed.

He calmly stepped forward, read the post carefully, and made very professional comments from both calligraphy and content.

Yun Ping didn't understand it very well, but His Majesty the Emperor nodded again and again, showing appreciative eyes from time to time.

After some comments, the young emperor praised.

"Helian Aiqing is really both civil and military, and the empire has a talent like you, which is really a blessing for me and a blessing for the country. ”

Xue Jian hurriedly said a few words politely and modestly.

Then the young emperor waved his hand and said lightly.

"Yun Aiqing, I'm here to talk to Helian Aiqing about poetry and songs, you go down first. ”

Yun Ping immediately nodded yes and retired from here.

The young emperor looked into Xue Jian's eyes with a smile, and after a moment, he said.

"I recently wrote a poem, Helian Aiqing is a person who loves poetry and songs, so please comment on it. ”

Before Xue Jian could speak, he took care of himself and chanted a poem, the poems were graceful and delicate, intriguing, and praised Qinglian's mud without staining.

After chanting, the young emperor set his eyes on Xue Jian's face, revealing a look of anticipation.

To be honest, he couldn't figure out whether this person really liked poetry and songs, or if he had another deep meaning.

Xue Jian pondered for a moment, and commented softly, although there were not many comments, but every word was fine, so that the young emperor couldn't help but laugh and praise the wonderful comments.

Subsequently, the young emperor drew an ink painting on the spot with a pen, and the painting was still painted with the green lotus in the lotus pond.

He laughed.

"This painting, please Helian Aiqing to comment. ”

Xue Jian couldn't understand this person's mind more and more, but he still had patience and talked a few words.

The young emperor didn't smile and praise anymore this time, but showed a look that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, looked at Xue Jian, and said lightly.

"If I hadn't tried them one by one with poetry, calligraphy and painting, I really wouldn't have known that Helian Aiqing's literary level was so high. ”

Xue Jian's heart suddenly sank, but he didn't show the slightest on the surface.

"In front of Your Majesty, Banmen has an axe. ”

The young emperor narrowed his eyes and suddenly said something that made Xue Jian's heart skip a beat.

"You don't have to pretend anymore, I can see that you are not Helian Chong. ”
