"Your Majesty, Master Liu Xiong and his nephew Liu Tai are here to ask to see?"

In the palatial Taihe Palace, a majestic man is sitting in front of an incense burner and meditating with his eyes closed.

A puff of green smoke wafted out of the incense burner, and then spread throughout the palace, lingering with a strange fragrance, making people feel bright.

Inside the main hall, it was unusually quiet, as if a pin could be heard.

The man was dressed in a white coat, with long black hair scattered over his shoulders, his facial features were three-dimensional, and his calm demeanor revealed a state of unauthority and anger.

This person is Li Yanzhao, the emperor of Nanxuanguo. On that day, it was this person who connived and indulged Taishi Liu Xiong, which caused Lu Fang, who was supposed to be the champion, to be cornered, and almost became a ghost under the Ziqing Mountain Cliff.

The white-eyed eunuch walked up to the man and whispered softly.

"It's so late, what's the matter with the master, let him come back tomorrow. The man closed his eyes and said, from beginning to end, his eyes did not open, not even blinking, and his words revealed supreme majesty.

"The master said that there is something important, and he needs to be enlightened overnight. The eunuch whispered awkwardly again.

"This Liu Xiong is now making more and more trouble for me, passing!" The emperor suddenly looked displeased, opened his eyes, and was very sharp.

"Yes!"

When the white-eyed eunuch saw that he had disturbed the saint, he was shocked in vain, and hurriedly retreated.

When he came to the door of the palace, the white-eyed eunuch looked angry, and stared at Taishi Liu Xiong with a strange yin and yang: "The holy dragon is displeased, the Taishi should be careful, don't torture the old slave!"

Seeing that Liu Xiong's mind was lively, he hurriedly took out a rectangular delicate box from the wide cuffs, handed it to the eunuch and said: "There is a father-in-law Liu! Here is a hundred-year-old mountain ginseng, just to replenish the complexion of the father-in-law." ”

The eunuch took the box, opened it and looked at it, and said with a soft smile: "Ouch, it's still the Taishi who understands the slave family, since they are all from this family, why be so polite, the emperor is inside, and the Taishi will go, but be careful." ”

As he spoke, Gonggong Liu hid the box containing the old ginseng into his cuffs.

"Gonggong Xie!" Taishi said again.

"Go. The father-in-law replied.

After this, Taishi Liu Xiong took Liu Tailai and walked straight into the Heart Cultivation Palace, and as soon as he entered the palace door, he smelled a refreshing fragrance.

When I came to the center of the hall, I saw the emperor wearing a white coat, his hands on his knees, his back to the direction of the temple door, sitting in front of an incense burner.

"Minister Liu Xiong, knock on the emperor. ", "Minister Liu Tailai knocked on the emperor. ”。

Liu Tailai and his uncle knelt down together when they saw the emperor.

"What?"

Li Yanzhao was a little displeased, closed his eyes and asked.

"It's about the bold thief Lu Fang, and it's a matter of Weichen who disturbs him late at night. Liu Xiong knelt down and bowed his head.

"Oh?" the emperor hesitated, opened his eyes and said, "Liu Aiqing, please, and your nephew." ”

"Emperor Xie!" Liu Xiong and Liu Tailai got up and bent down together.

"Aiqing doesn't need to be polite!" Emperor Li Yanzhao was unhurried and said with interest: "Aiqing mentioned that scholar Lu Fang, what is the current situation of this person?"

"On that day, Weichen obeyed the holy order, and threw the thief Lu Fang, who made a big fuss in the palace, fifty times, and threw it out of the city gate......" Taishi Liu Xiong was cautious and slowly recounted.

"Haha-I didn't expect this son to have such an opportunity!"

After the Taishi threw Lu Fang out of the city gate until he became the master of the Qingxu Guan Gang and recounted the experience of one or two, the emperor smiled.

Although the lord of the country Li Yanzhao laughed when he heard it, he didn't smile at it, he didn't doubt what the Taishi said, about Lu Fang's current situation, but the Taishi's description made him feel a little unhappy in his heart.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the champion of this session should have belonged to Lu Fang, but this son was young and frivolous, offended the Taishi family of the dynasty, and was framed.

At this moment, in the words of the Taishi, it seemed that Lu Fang had caused trouble because he had offended the emperor of the dynasty.

is a good transfer, and in a quiet manner, Taishi Liu Xiong transferred all the responsibility for this matter to the emperor, and he really deserves to be an old fox who worked hard in the officialdom.

Although Liu Xiong was cunning and smart, the emperor was not a fool. He Li Yanzhao is also the lord of the Nanxuan Kingdom, and it is only because he has been busy with the immortal road that he has entrusted all the mundane trivial matters in the court to the Taishi.

That day, if it weren't for the genius Lu Fang who was too crazy, maybe he Li Yanzhao would still be maneuvering around it. If you want to blame, you can only blame Lu Fang for being too young and not understanding the situation in officialdom. Therefore, the emperor indulged the Taishi.

In comparison, a talented man, no matter how talented he is, is just a scholar, the emperor has his own grand ambitions, and compared with Liu Xiong, who was also born in the imperial examination and has become a national prince, this son is not very useful.

The Emperor fiddled with his hands, then gazed at them carefully.

"What will happen after that? The Taishi won't come to the Holy House at night just because of this little thing, right?" said the Emperor with some unhappiness as he stared at his hands.

"Your Majesty!" I saw Liu Xiong bend down, almost prostrate on the ground, and said, "This son is afraid to turn the sky upside down!"

"Oh, what do you mean by that?" the Emperor asked, with a hint of emotion.

"If it's just a guy, forgive him for being in Qingxuguan and won't make any waves, but, it's just-" Liu Xiong's words were a little slurred.

"What's the matter?" said the Emperor with some contempt.

"It's just that I don't know how the thief got such a lot of luck, and he was accepted as a closed disciple by the Lord of Qingxu Guan, and it seems that he also taught extremely advanced kung fu methods——"

"Wait!"

Taishi wanted to take a breath and explain the current situation and situation of Lu Fang, but when it came to the advanced kung fu method, the emperor suddenly interrupted.

"Are you saying that that the scholar Lu Fang that day had been accepted as a closed disciple by the Lord of the Qingxu Guan, and he had also taught the exercises?"

"Yes!" replied decisively.

Everyone knows that there is a purple green mountain outside the capital, and there is a Taoist temple on the mountain called Qingxu Guan, but most people don't know that the main emptiness of Qingxu Guan is long.

This person has a mysterious origin, and when he first emerged in Nanxuan Kingdom, he was already a master of the innate realm of martial arts. At that time, Li Yanzhao summoned him, only to see that the person who came was a Taoist priest, and he was wild and uninhibited, not at all moved by the preferential treatment proposed by the emperor, and he insulted the saint many times.

Nanxuan Kingdom, the whole country, except for the national teacher Yang Mantian above the congenital, the huge country, there are only three or two masters of the innate realm, for such masters, if they can't use it for themselves, they may be the great enemies of the future.

On that day, above the government and the opposition, the head of the empty Dao was not recruited, and he also provoked the emperor's prestige, Li Yanzhao was furious, and he wanted to fight for his family to take down this old way. But the national teacher secretly transmitted a message to him on the side: Your Majesty, this old way is a bit mysterious, and I can't see its depth, so it's best not to be an enemy of it.

After listening to the transmission of the national teacher, Li Yanzhao had no choice but to let the Void Daoist leave.

Over the years, Li Yanzhao has been sending people to pay attention to Qingxuguan's every move, but later, the Void Daoist accepted the eighteen road registered disciples and taught the eighteen martial arts, and after that, there was no action, and the emperor began to forget about it.

For a long time, Qingxuguan and Nanxuanguo have been at peace, and Nanxuanguo has always had a tolerant attitude towards the eighteen-way disciples of the Void Daoist, but fortunately, although those disciples are stubborn, they have never caused trouble, and there are also their disciples who came to participate in Nanxuanguo's martial arts.

Therefore, in recent years, Li Yanzhao has relaxed his vigilance against the Qingxu Concept, and he never thought that a scholar who was neglected by himself would run to Ziqing Mountain, and at first he was just a man, but he turned into a disciple of the Void Dao Master, and he was also a closed disciple.

"Why did you suddenly become a closed disciple!" Speaking of this, Li Yanzhao looked a little solemn.

You must know that in the past, the Void Dao people received all registered disciples, but this time they accepted a closed disciple, which shows the status of this disciple in the hearts of that Dao people.

"Wei Chen can't figure this out!" Taishi seemed to be very anxious.

"And send people to pay close attention, if there are any new trends, come back in time. Li Yanzhao commanded.

"Wechen has sent someone to pay close attention. The Taishi wanted to speak and stopped: "It's just, it's just some words, and Weichen doesn't know whether to say it or not......"

"Say!" said the Emperor.

"On that day in the palace, this son was arrogant, and was thrown out of the city gate by Weichen, and his future was ruined. If it weren't for the emperor's sage, the minister would have punished him with death!" Liu Xiong's mouth was like a hanging river: "I thought of his weakness, let him go, I don't want this son to hold a grudge, but there is such an opportunity, now he is shouting in the Taoist temple every day to take revenge, if this son is strong, he will definitely come to the court to seek revenge!"

Emperor Li Yanzhao fiddled with the incense burner, and said unhurriedly: "Although I don't want to move the empty old way, but there is a national teacher, forgive the old way can't move me, a scholar, no power to tie the chicken, the road is difficult, it is not something you can imagine, forgive him and he can't make big waves." ”

"Your Majesty!" Liu Xiong knelt on the ground and said, and Liu Tailai also knelt on the ground with his uncle.

"If there is a chance, then never suffer in the future!" the emperor still turned his back to Liu Xiong's uncle and nephew, and said word by word.

"Your Majesty, Emperor. "Emperor Xie. Liu Xiong's eyes widened, and he said excitedly with his nephew.

The Emperor raised his hand and waved.

"Retire!"

Bidding farewell to the emperor, Liu Xiong and his nephews left in a hurry, in the night.
