Chapter 101: The Northern Palace
Hu Bin felt that the person in front of him was very likely to be a cultivator, because only a cultivator could do such an incredible thing, come to the Tian'an Temple silently, and he didn't know it, and he could easily restrain himself with a thunderous blow with his fingers!
However, Hu Bin was protecting the Tang Emperor, so he didn't dare to bet!
So, Hu Bin's two fingers reached out to his mouth, and immediately there was a sharp whistle outside the Tian'an Temple. Immediately after that www.biquge.info there were bursts of neat footsteps all around, although they were in a hurry, they were not in a hurry, it can be seen that these people are well-trained!
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of gold-armored guards surrounded him from all directions. Despite the large number of people, except for the sound of footsteps, no one made a single noise!
The man in white nodded secretly, but sighed at the unwiseness of the guard in front of him.
However, immediately, the man in white suddenly sat upright, and his hands were sealed!
Just for a moment, Hu Bin suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and his whole body seemed to be filled with steel, and he couldn't move! At the same time, his body seemed to be burdened with a thousand pounds, and it was a little difficult to stand firmly! Looking at the others, their faces were all flushed, and they looked like they were trying their best to endure it!
At this time, they no longer have the strength to make a move!
"You... Do you want to... What are you doing?" asked Hu Bin with difficulty.
"It's not that I want to see the emperor, since you don't want to invite, then I have to invite it in person!"
"You... You are going to say that your Majesty is not... It's not good, I won't let you go if I die!" Hu Bing gritted his teeth and said.
"It's hard for you to even move, and you're still talking!, but you're good!" the man in white sighed.
After a while, I heard a knock on the gate of Tian'an Temple, and it seemed that many people came out of it.
"You guys, all stand down!"
A familiar voice rang out! At this moment, Hu Bin suddenly felt light, and immediately regained his freedom!
Just like a conditioned reflex, Hu Bin and dozens of guards quickly surrounded a middle-aged man wearing a red robe, a golden crown, and a majestic face in the middle!
"Do you want me to say that again, huh?" the man frowned, very unhappy.
All the guards fell to their knees at once.
"But, Your Majesty... Safety is important!" Hu Bin said urgently.
"Go down!" the man snapped.
As soon as these words came out, everyone, including Hu Bin, didn't dare to insist anymore, but in the blink of an eye, even the palace maids and eunuchs behind the emperor disappeared without a trace!
This middle-aged man is naturally Tang Yan, the Tang Wu Emperor of the Tang Kingdom!
I saw him walk into the pavilion with a blank face and sit down opposite the man in white.
The man in white didn't even get up, let alone the proper courtesy!
"You're actually here in person, aren't you here to kill me?" Tang Yan said coldly.
"Why do you want me to do it, when the time comes, someone will naturally come to pick it up!"
"Then what are you doing?" Tang Yan asked.
The man in white didn't speak, but took out a Xuanmu token from his arms and threw it on the table in front of the man in white, "You know this, right?"
Tang Yan picked up the token and saw the words 'Halloween' on it, but he just shook his head.
"Hmph, it doesn't matter if you don't admit it, we will naturally find evidence! This is from a student who graduated from an elite class of the All Saints Academy, this person killed two of our students in Tangzhou! Colluding with foreign cultivators to slaughter their own cultivators, once the evidence is conclusive, even if you are the emperor, there is only one end, death!"
"Hahaha... Since ancient times, 'Immortals do not disturb immortals, immortals do not deceive mortals'! If you find evidence, just do it, anyway, your Yanyun Academy has already done it! The two major families with a double hatred of killing their fathers can be promoted by you and usurp military power, what else can you not do!"
"Don't talk nonsense, you should show evidence!"
"Hmph, evidence? You immortals do things, what evidence can we mortals get? If you still have the ancient precept in your hearts, 'Whoever does not disturb the immortals, and the immortals do not deceive the mortals', then isn't it evidence that you sent students to act arbitrarily in our mortal realm!?"
"Do you really don't know or don't know, now Wan Shengguo's Wansheng Academy, Song Kingdom's Helan Sword Sect has sent no less than 100 people to Tangzhou and Water Dance City, it is said that they want to assassinate Dugu Yu and Wang Gan!
Hearing this, Emperor Tang Yan frowned and wrinkled, and after a long while, he said: "It turns out that it is because of this incident that you think that I am colluding with outsiders? I am the emperor of the Tang Kingdom, how can I betray my country! You are insulting me like this! Therefore, you will not be able to find the real evidence in your life, but if you want to kill me, you can create enough evidence!"
The man in white smiled faintly and said: "You're right, if we can't find evidence, we will naturally get some evidence when we need it! However, I also tell you that you may not collude with foreign countries, but you can't guarantee that your good brothers and uncles want to do something, after all, several princes don't want to see their emperor humiliated!"
"They..."
"Okay, let's put these things aside first! Two years have passed since our five-year period! The Tianshan Mountains of Wansheng Kingdom are thousands of miles away from us, so even if you rearm your arms now, it's already a little late!"
"Five years? I didn't promise you five years, I said ten years!"
"Hehe, Tang Yan, are you still stubborn until now? Well, since you still have to insist, then I don't need to play tricks with you! I think you are a smart person, and I will only tell you two things clearly: first, this battle must be fought in five years; second, after five years, it is not our concern who the Tang Kingdom will be!"
"You..."
Tang Yan raised his head, but found that the opposite side was empty!
Tang Yan was a little frustrated, and sat on the spot for a while before getting up and walking out of the pavilion.
Just didn't take a few steps, and the many guards, eunuchs and palace maids hidden on one side of the main hall all knelt down to greet them!
Tang Yan thought he was ambitious, and he also wanted to make a great cause to expand the territory! But his own plan could not convince those cultivators, they were just coveting the resources of the Tianshan Mountain, and he was thinking about the large amount of territory behind the Tianshan Mountain, which required long-term preparation. What's more, Wan Shengguo and Song Guo will definitely be aligned, so this will be a protracted war!
However, in front of these elusive cultivators, Tang Yan was once again a little powerless!
Lying on the big chair in the imperial study, he was very skillfully pressed by the old eunuch on the soles of his feet, but Tang Yan couldn't sleep!
"Long live the lord, that person is a cultivator?" The old eunuch Defu grew up serving Tang Yan since he was a child, and he was also the only one who could enter and leave the imperial study freely.
Tang Yan closed his eyes but did not speak.
Defu knew that although His Majesty did not speak, His Majesty did not fall asleep!
The slave maid felt that it was really time to ask some other cultivators about the situation, after all, only cultivators knew the minds of cultivators. What's more, Your Majesty's current situation is really not good!"
"How can I not know, but do you know who the person who came here today - Zhou Beibei, an academician of Yanyun Academy, this is the top level of Yanyun Academy! Ordinary cultivators definitely don't understand their plans!"
"So... Isn't it time to ask the Fifth Master and the Nine Emperor Princes!"
"No, as soon as their identities are leaked, they will find the truth for those people!"
"Hey, Your Majesty, it's the most dangerous time now! I'm afraid that it won't take five years, only a year or two, and they will be able to give up Your Majesty!"
“… All right... You have a point, you go and arrange it, just inquire about the intentions of Yanyun's high-level officials in private, and don't let them come back!"
"Slave obeys!"
"Also, you go and draw up another secret decree to make... Let Hu Bin check for me, if there is anyone in the royal family who has made friends with foreign cultivators without permission, after finding out, don't make a noise, just report it!"
"Yes!"
It is said that Zhou Beibei, the man in white, left the palace and came to a place where no one was around, before falling into the clouds, and then walking towards a more lively neighborhood! This neighborhood is a famous entertainment and leisure street in Tangzhou. There are large inns, restaurants, green buildings, wine shops, clothing shops, rice shops, and even money houses, gambling houses, martial arts halls and everything on both sides of the street, and many powerful foreign businessmen are staying here!
And Yanyuan Academy's several secret strongholds in Tangzhou are located here, and almost all of them are luxurious places, such as the most luxurious 'Tangfu Restaurant', the 'Central Inn', and even a large blacksmith shop, which is actually the place where Yanyun Academy sells those weapons that have been trained and scrapped. These strongholds are usually hired mortals, and the bosses of Yanyun Academy rarely show up!
However, in the past two years, there have been more Yanyun students who have come here secretly!
Zhou Beifang went directly into the side door of the Central Inn, and then came to the huge backyard!
Soon a gray-haired old man greeted him: "Meet the Academician!"
Zhou Beifang waved his hand and said, "There should be news from the people of the Shadow Group, call Duan Qing to come and see you!"
The white-haired old man let Zhou Beibei go to the main hall, sat down in the living room, and soon walked in with a lean middle-aged man!
The man bowed deeply to Zhou Beifang and said, "Lord Academician is finally here, Duan Qing of the Shadow Group is polite! It's just that the situation over there in Water Dance City is very bad, and I have to go back immediately after I finish reporting!"
Zhou Beifang put the man on the stool and said, "You don't have to be polite, tell me about the situation there!"
After Duan Qing, a lean man, sat down, he took a sip of tea and said, "Half a year ago, the Ten Thousand Saints Academy and the Helan Sword Sect suddenly jointly sent some unemployed students to infiltrate Tangzhou and Water Dance City respectively. Their targets were Dugu Yu and Wang Qian, respectively! They thought that as soon as these two main battle factions died, at least our Yanyun Academy's general attack on the Tianshan Mountains would be delayed!"
"Oh, are you saying that the alliance between Wan Shengguo and Song Guo has already been established, from the Immortal Academy to the Mortal Imperial Family?" Zhou Beifang interrupted Duan Qing's words.
"Well, it was also half a year ago! We don't know the specific things yet, but one thing is very important, it is said that who is the main leader of their alliance has not yet been finalized! So, this is also an important matter for our Shadow Group to investigate!"
"Hmph, nine times out of ten, it's true, these two have always been so dirty, and their alliance is destined to be unreliable. However, you Shadows should really pay close attention, I'm afraid that they will agree on a final plan this time!"
"Well, Academician Zhang said the same thing! In addition, there is not much danger in the lonely jade here in the capital, but we have too few people in Water Dance City, and we have suffered losses in several secret battles, and we have lost five students. Therefore, Duan Qing is bold, do you ask Academician Zhou to notify the academy to send out an academy task and mobilize more manpower, after all, it is impossible for our Shadow Group to spare manpower to do these things, and the students who have traveled abroad and those who have completed their studies have already been notified, and it is difficult to say when they will arrive!"
"Hehe, thanks to Academician Zhang for a period of time! My side has just gotten out of Yanyun Xiaobi, as for the task you mentioned, I'll walk around the two cities first, and then make a decision. Also, is there any movement in the Red Lotus Witch Cult?"
"The Red Lotus Witch Cult... Their actions were secretive, and we Shadow Group suffered a lot of losses, but we didn't get any more useful information. After all, I heard Academician Zhang say that the offensive layout of the Tianshan Mountains is the most important thing now! Therefore, our Shadow Group has very few personnel on their side!"
