"Your Excellency Lin Bai, the emperor has a decree, and I hereby announce that you will go to the Emperor's Palace to face the saint!" After seeing me, the eunuch said very politely, and even made a gesture of please after speaking.

I nodded, unspeakably excited at the moment. Nima's, this emperor has finally summoned me! If you continue to leave me here, no matter what you don't ask, I'm afraid that Lao Tzu will be suffocated.

"Father-in-law, did Your Majesty only summon me alone?" In addition to being excited, when I followed my father-in-law to the Imperial Palace, I couldn't help but speak.

The eunuch smiled slightly and said, "You are not the only one, the other disciples who have been hand-picked to stay are also among the summonses, and in addition, there are several foreign envoys!"

Foreign envoys?

I frowned, and I heard the eunuch continue: "In the Xuanzi Continent, in addition to our Qingyun Country, there are more than a hundred small countries. These small countries have always been attached to our Qingyun country, and these small countries have to send envoys to pay tribute every year to worship His Majesty, which is considered a kind of etiquette. ”

It dawned on me that from the mouth of this eunuch at this moment, I also learned that the Imperial Palace was a place where the emperor specially received foreign envoys and guests, and today, several of these small countries have come to pay tribute.

Knowing this, I still didn't understand it, so I asked curiously: "Since it is Your Majesty, entertaining foreign envoys, in order to summon us people?"

"Isn't this the Xuanzi Sword Discussion just ended, when the Xuanzi Sword Competition, although these small countries also sent people to watch the battle, but after all, the number of people is limited, and they are all royal personnel of these small countries, and the envoy who came today did not watch the game. ”

Speaking of this, the eunuch's expression showed a bit of pride, and he continued with a smile: "No, at this moment, taking advantage of the opportunity to pay tribute, they learned that Your Majesty left some of the elite disciples of the competition at that time, so they wanted to see your demeanor." ”

"So that's because of this!" I couldn't help but mumble when I heard this.

"Your Excellency Lin Bai, you've been a little bored in the palace these days, but you don't have to be bored, with the old slave's understanding of Your Majesty, after receiving these envoys today, Your Majesty will definitely arrange things for you to do. Seeing that I was not in high spirits and looked depressed, the eunuch was very keen to guess my thoughts, and smiled and comforted.

Hearing this, I felt a little better, so I chatted with this eunuch while walking, and soon, I arrived at the Imperial Palace.

After arriving, I saw Lin Yi, Tang Zegong, and Gongsun Lingyu, the disciples who were left behind with me, all arrived, and they were standing respectfully in the hall at this moment. And the empress, dressed in a golden dragon robe, sat on the throne, and there was a guard of honor standing neatly behind him.

Next to the emperor, sat the empress and several princes, but there was no princess! At this time, I also understood that when summoning foreign envoys, the princess was not allowed to appear casually because she was to be married, and the prince was allowed to sit in on the government.

Seriously, the queen is really beautiful. This woman was wearing a phoenix robe, sitting there dignifiedly, it was simply beautiful. The queen and the empress are two kinds of beauty. These two women are very temperamental, but the queen's temperament is majestic, and any look can scare people to their knees.

And the queen is the feeling of the mother in the world. Particularly dignified.

On both sides of the emperor and empress, there were hundreds of civil and military officials, but in front of these civil and military officials, several seats were set up, and it was the envoys of those small countries who sat on them.

"Subordinate Lin Bai, see Your Majesty!" At that moment, when I walked into the main hall, I felt the powerful majesty that permeated the emperor's body, and I couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but I still tried my best to calm down, walked over slowly, saluted His Majesty, and shouted.

"Well, Lin Bai is here, and everyone is here. The emperor nodded, smiled slightly, raised his hand to signal me to excuse himself, said lightly, and then motioned for me to stand in the queue of Gongsun Lingyu.

"Crippled?"

"The Qing-rank Saint Pill is not very strong!"

"This kid, can he enter the finals of the palace examination later?"

And at this time, as soon as I walked to Lin Yi's side and stood still, I heard the envoys of several small countries on the opposite seat, looking at me and whispering in each other's ears.

Although their voices were very small, many people in this Imperial Palace could still hear them clearly.

"Envoys, these ten are the elite disciples I specially left behind, you all know each other. At this time, the emperor didn't pay attention to their discussion at all, smiled slightly, picked up the jade cup in front of him, and said with a smile.

Seeing the emperor raise his glass, everyone below also raised their glasses, and the hall was also full of compliments. Immediately afterwards, the envoys raised their glasses to us. It's just that these envoys can feel the strength of Gongsun Lingyu and others, and they are full of praise, but when they saw me, although their tone was polite, but between their eyes and expressions, they still unabashedly showed a little disdain.

Sensing the gaze and looks of these envoys, I was very annoyed in my heart, but in this imperial palace, I didn't dare to be presumptuous, so I could only endure it. I don't know when my lame leg will heal.

After three rounds of drinking, the emperor also called the court dancers to dance to cheer up, and those envoys gradually became interested, and after the dancers left, these envoys were also a little drunk.

"Your Majesty, these talents are all personally selected by Your Majesty, and we are all admired. Why don't you take this opportunity to show off their stunts, not only Your Majesty, what do you think?" At this time, one of the envoys stood up and said respectfully to His Majesty.

As soon as the envoy's proposal was spoken, the other envoys all nodded in agreement.

"Okay!" the emperor smiled slightly, and his eyes fell on Gongsun Lingyu. Although Gongsun Lingyu is a woman, among the ten of us, she is the only one who has a Purple Rank Saint Pill, and her strength is also the strongest, no, to be precise, her strength is second only to me.

Gongsun Lingyu was also very smart, seeing the emperor looking at him, he didn't wait for the emperor to speak, he slowly came out, that delicate face, at this time was very calm, looked at the few envoys in front of him, and slowly said: "A few envoys, what stunts do you want to see?"

"Gongsun Lingyu, just show your best stunt!" Without waiting for the envoys to speak, the emperor said slowly, and at the same time waved his hand! Suddenly, above the main hall, an open space came out.

Sou!

In the next second, Gongsun Lingyu
