Chapter 596: Full Strength
Hearing Cheng Xuan's words, Hu Xiaofei blushed and wanted to say something, but looking at Cheng Xuan's determined expression, he finally retreated.
"Okay, there's nothing else to do, let's all disperse. After drinking Hu Xiaofei, Cheng Xuan said lightly.
Suddenly, everyone responded and slowly walked out of the main hall.
At that moment, outside the main hall, Hu Xiaofei came over to me and said, "Lin Bai, I just said that in the main hall, I didn't mean anything else, and the original intention in my heart was also for our Sun and Moon Sect..."
He spoke, his eyes rolling back and forth, and he didn't look at me at all, which made me very confused.
But I didn't take it to heart, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "It's okay, everyone is brothers, hehe, you do this, it proves that you are not an emotional person, you look at things very rationally, not bad..."
I responded with a smile, and at this moment, I saw Tang Ren and Ying Jun also coming out, and I was about to call them together, and then call Tang Zegong in the palace to go out for a drink together.
At this moment, a eunuch came quickly, came to us, first saluted, and then said to me: "Your Excellency Lin Bai, Your Majesty is invited." ”
What did the Empress do with me at this time? Didn't she say yes, let me rest for two days? Could it be that she had received news from somewhere else about the seclusion of the world?
Hearing the eunuch's words, I frowned secretly, and then waved my hand to greet Tang Ren, and rushed towards the palace with the eunuch.
At that moment, I didn't notice that Hu Xiaofei looked at my departing back, and the smile on his face gradually froze, replaced by a kind of coldness and jealousy.
"What's the matter with you?" At this moment, after I left, Tang Ren walked behind Hu Xiaofei and patted him on the shoulder: "Lao Bai is in charge of the sub-altar, it's a good thing, when the time comes, it's convenient for us brothers to do anything, why are you against it?"
"yes.." Ying Jun walked over and looked at Hu Xiaofei suspiciously.
Hu Xiaofei scratched his head and smiled: "I was thinking about our Sun and Moon Sect at the time, and I didn't consider the relationship between the brothers, hehe..."
After speaking, Hu Xiaofei pretended to think of something: "By the way, I still have some things, so I won't cultivate with you." Then, without waiting for Tang Ren and the others to come to their senses, they quickly walked towards the back of the mountain gate.
"This kid, I didn't know that string was played wrong in the past two days, let's go, leave him alone. Seeing Hu Xiaofei walking away, the upright character of the winning army shook his head, and beckoned Tang Ren to go to the martial arts arena.
And Tang Ren frowned and looked at Hu Xiaofei's departing back, and wondered: "Win Jun, this kid has been wrong these days, he is always angry for no reason, yesterday we talked about the marriage of the deputy head, he was inexplicably angry, today Lao Bai is going to become the head of the sub-altar, he has objections, do you say he has something to hide from us?"
Hearing Tang Ren say this, Ying Jun thought about it, and also felt that things were too strange, Hu Xiaofei had been too abnormal in the past few days, but he was in a hurry to go to the martial arts arena to compete, and he didn't think much about it, so he shook his head: "Okay, when we go out for a drink one day, let's ask him, let's go, let's go, Senior Brother Ye Feng, they should have been waiting." ”
As he spoke, Ying Jun couldn't help but pull Tang Ren and walked towards the martial arts arena.
And just after Ying Jun and Tang Ren left, Hu Xiaofei slowly walked out from not far away.
In fact, he didn't have anything special, he just wanted to be alone.
"Why? They are also closed disciples, she is so good to Lin Bai, and she is so lukewarm to me? Now she has given Lin Bai the right to take charge of the branch altar..."
Looking at the backs of Ying Jun and Tang Ren in the distance, Hu Xiaofei muttered in a tone, his eyes were full of disbehesitation, but his face showed a little entanglement.
Speaking of which, after joining the Sun and Moon faction, the relationship between Hu Xiaofei and Tang Ren and Yingjun is getting better and better, although I have not been in Shanmen, but in Hu Xiaofei's heart, I, Lin Bai, am also his brother.
It is precisely because of this that Hu Xiaofei's heart is like a knife.
On one side is a brother, on the other side is a goddess who has been secretly in love for a long time, who it is, it is difficult to choose, and it will be extremely uncomfortable...
Just when I followed the eunuch into the palace to meet the empress, Cheng Xuan announced that I was in charge of the altar.
At this moment, when I entered the palace gate, I saw Tang Zegong and Lin Yi in front of me, patrolling nearby.
When they saw me, they both came over with a smile.
"Haha, Lin Bai, you are now the head of the Sun and Moon Sect, and you can be regarded as the head level, this kind of happy event, you have to invite your brothers to drink at night. When he came to me, Tang Zegong smiled and punched me, looking very excited.
Lin Yi also followed and said, "Yes, this wine must be invited." ”
Looking at the two of them, they were even happier than me, but I didn't have too much excitement in my heart, speaking of which, my personality is more casual, and I don't like to be bound by the rules and regulations the most, when Cheng Xuan just said this matter before, she didn't give me a chance to refuse at all.
Moreover, I, the head of the branch of the altar, am just a nominal person, and most of the decisions have to be decided by Cheng Xuan.
However, when I heard Tang Zegong and Lin Yi's words, I still smiled and nodded: "Okay, you have to drink, and I will take care of you tonight." "Then I made an appointment with the two of them to go out together in the evening and indulge.
At this time, Tang Zegong's words changed sharply, and he said with emotion: "Now the situation is finally getting better and better, the Lin Bai brothers are once again reused by the royal family, and your Sun and Moon faction is also rising with the tide, by the way, Tang Ren and Ying Jun, as well as Hu Xiaofei's brothers, when will they enter the palace on an errand?"
When Tang Zegong said this, Lin Yi also looked at me with some urgency.
I was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "I don't know."
At this time, it was also Tang Zegong's words that reminded me that the empress left Cheng Xuan and others here in order to form an invisible restraining effect on me.
Now that the gate of the Dividing Altar Mountain has been built, and the location is within the imperial city, the empress will definitely go one step further and canonize some outstanding disciples of the Sun and Moon Sect to official positions and keep them here completely.
It stands to reason that this is a good thing, but I am a little resistant in my heart.
Because of the previous matter of the male emperor, I have already figured it out, the so-called companion is like a companion tiger, I was so cautious before, but I still made so many mistakes, Tang Ren and Ying Jun, as well as Hu Xiaofei, they are all unruly personalities, and when they enter the palace, they naturally can't avoid making mistakes.
So let Tang Ren and them enter the palace on an errand, I refused in my heart.
At the same time, it is also what worries me.
"Your Majesty is now using your Sun and Moon Sect so much, the Tang Ren brothers will definitely be rewarded..."Just as I was thinking about this, Lin said with a smile, and Tang Zegong also nodded thoughtfully.
At this moment, the two of them couldn't understand my complicated feelings at all, so I didn't say so much to them, smiled, chatted with them for a few words, and hurried to the main hall where the empress was.
When I arrived, I saw the Empress sitting there, reading through the memoirs presented by some of the ministers.
I have stayed in the palace for so long, although I rarely participate in the government affairs, but for some of the situation of the royal family, I still know some, take the music in front of me, generally, the music presented by the minister of civil and military affairs is made of special brocade silk rice paper, which belongs to light yellow, and the music on it is a general thing, and it is a matter of people's livelihood.
Some of the national security, or border emergencies, are covered with bright red.
There is also a dark blue cantata on the cover, and it is written about the cultivation sect.
So, don't look at a small piece of music, there's a big difference.
At this time, most of the cases in front of the empress were dark cyan pieces.
Therefore, when I saw this scene, I secretly thought to myself, this empress is looking at the concerto, it can't be about our Sun and Moon Sect, right? Speaking of which, the Sun and Moon Sect has established a branch altar mountain gate in the imperial city, which has greatly shaken among the civil and military officials.
For this matter, the empress also convened a special court meeting.
Although I was not present at the time, I later heard that many ministers of civil and military affairs did not approve of this matter, but the empress had already made up her mind at that time, so in the end no one said much.
"Lin Bai, you're here. ”
Just as I was muttering secretly, the Empress looked up at me, closed the piece in her hand, and said with a faint smile, very gentlely.
I nodded and bowed deeply: "Lin Bai has seen Your Majesty. ”
"There's no one else here, so there's no need to be so formal. The Empress smiled lightly, giving a peerless elegance, not royal majesty, and then raised her hand and motioned for me to sit on the chair next to her.
I answered and sat down.
Before she could speak, the empress looked at me and smiled: "I just heard that Deputy Head Cheng handed over the matter of taking charge of the branch altar to you." ”
Damn, the news spread so quickly?
When I heard the empress's words, I was faintly shocked in my heart, so I quickly said, "Uh... When Master said this, he probably wanted to sharpen me. Actually, I don't know a lot about the mountain gate. ”
As I spoke, I noticed that the Empress's smile at me was faintly complicated.
"You're very modest. Seeing the humility on my face, the empress looked at me with a smile and said slowly: "Among the many disciples of your Sun and Moon Sect, although there are many powerful and talented people, but in terms of their ability, you should be the first. ”
"Your Majesty is so fond of me. Hearing this, I secretly figured out what the empress meant, and said very politely.
To be honest, after completely grasping the power of Qingyun Kingdom, I found that the empress spoke more and more subtlely, and every word seemed to have some kind of deep meaning, which made me very elusive.
That feeling, as if there is a layer of estrangement between us, is very uncomfortable...
I know that as the supreme emperor, the empress, like the other emperors of the Qingyun Kingdom, has her own set of imperial techniques, but I still miss the empress who took turns ruling with the male emperor at the beginning.
"Okay, let's not talk about that. ”
Seeing my respectful face, the empress smiled lightly, put away her smile, and her beautiful face became solemn: "I came to you today for a reason. ”
As she spoke, she unfolded a dark cyan piece in front of her: "Just now, the frontier generals came with news that on the border between Shenmu Country and Nanzhao Kingdom, among several sects, there has been an extremely powerful poisonous plague, and now many sects have fallen, and I can't help but so, the people in that area have also been harmed by the poison..."
"Shenmu Country and Nanzhao Country are both our vassal countries, and now the royal families of the two countries have specially sent people to investigate, although they did not ask for our help, but this matter is very strange, and there is news that the outbreak of this poisonous plague is related to the secret realm where the Ten Thousand Poison Sect appeared. ”
"Moreover, someone saw someone from the Youtian Hidden Organization appear at the Mountain Gate of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect..."
Hiss..
Hearing this, I was stunned, and at the same time I couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Nima, poisonous plague?
Seeing the astonishment on my face, the empress breathed a sigh of relief and looked at me seriously: "Lin Bai, this matter has a lot to do with it, and I also got the news that the "Corpse Codex" exercise, which has been hidden in the secret realm of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, has also been lost because of this poisonous plague, so I hope you can take a trip." ”
"The Necrocane?" I was stunned again.
"The Corpse Book is the strongest mental method that has been handed down by the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect for thousands of years, and it has been used by the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect as the power of the town faction, but this exercise is extremely evil, it is a very evil exercise, and it has been passed down, after all, the lives are ruined..."
The empress looked at me and said slowly, but at this moment, I faintly noticed that the empress's face seemed calm, but faintly, there seemed to be something hidden from me.
"Got it..."
Although I still had some doubts in my heart, I didn't dare to ask more about this situation, so I nodded.
At this time, the empress exhaled lightly and said again: "Now that area is covered by poisonous plague, it is very dangerous for you to enter rashly alone, so I am ready to let Yin Ye join you, and there are also a hundred elite guards." ”
After that, the empress handed over a warrant and an edict: "This is the edict I have written, and when you get to the place, the royal families of Shenmu Kingdom and Nanzhao Kingdom will naturally cooperate with you." ”
In the end, the empress's expression was very solemn: "This sudden poisonous plague must not be allowed to spread to our Qingyun Kingdom." ”
"Lin Bai must do his best!"
