Chapter 774: Face Saint
Xia Yi and Li Xingtong tidied up the camp, and they didn't dare to rest for too long, so they went into the misty mountains and forests to find Tu Shifang. Although they verbally claimed to have confidence in Tu Shifang, Xia Yi and Li Xingtong were still worried about Tu Shifang in their hearts.
This mysterious space and misty mountains and forests are too weird, they can't help but be cautious, what if they didn't encounter a more serious danger last time, and happened to be bumped into by Tu Shifang this time?
The two did not dare to delay, and soon rushed into the misty mountains and forests to search. At this time, they didn't care about Nie Jinglong and Yingwei, they had to find Tu Shifang first, and then consider those things.
......
Just when Xia Yi, Tu Shifang, and Li Xingtong entered the mysterious space to explore, Wu Liang left Longxiang Courtyard and came to the palace alone.
In front of the New Year's Palace, Emperor Shang personally greeted Wu Liang in front of the main hall, and Emperor Shang was not dressed in casual clothes for convenience and comfort in private, but in order to show grandeur, he specially put on a dress that would only be worn when greeting VIPs.
Wu Liang, dressed in a plain white robe, looked at Emperor Shang standing in front of the main hall of the Prayer Palace from a distance, he did not speed up his steps, but still came to Emperor Shang leisurely according to the rhythm of his steps.
Emperor Shang watched Wu Liang walk to him, and when Wu Liang still had a few steps left, he stepped forward and took a step, and a pair of hands enthusiastically stepped forward to hold Wu Liang's hands.
"The dean went south this time, and it was hard work. With the same enthusiastic smile on his face, Emperor Shang shook Wu Liang's hands twice after holding them.
Wu Liang felt the temperature coming from Emperor Shang's hand, the corners of his mouth pulled up a slight angle, showed an indifferent smile, bowed his head slightly, and replied with respect: "After I returned, I didn't report to Your Majesty as soon as possible, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." ”
Wu Liang went to the border of Daqian to meet with several other great masters above the five-rank realm in the world, and after returning, he did not enter the palace to reply as soon as possible, but returned to Longxiang Courtyard and dealt with some affairs, and then came to the palace to meet Emperor Shang.
If it were someone else, Emperor Shang would definitely not be able to greet each other with such a bright smile after being "released a pigeon", and he would already be the emperor's grace if he didn't issue an order to ask him for his guilt, and he would personally stand outside the main hall and greet each other with a smile?
However, when this "other party" was replaced by Wu Liang, everything became logical.
As the dean of Longxiang Academy and the current master of the Five Grades, Wu Liang is worthy of the courtesy of Emperor Shang.
Emperor Shang was smiling, he couldn't see any anger at all, and said politely to Wu Liang again and again: "The dean has traveled far away this time, and he has not been able to return to the academy to arrange affairs when he leaves. ”
A gentleman and a minister walked side by side with each other, talking and laughing, and it seemed to be very harmonious.
The eunuchs and palace maids in the New Year Palace, as well as those guards, were all secretly happy when they saw this scene, thinking that it was Lord Wu Liang, the dean of Longxiang Academy, who came this time, and seeing the laughter of the two, there should be no need to worry about His Majesty losing his temper today. It's easy
Emperor Shang and Wu Liang entered the study one after another, and Emperor Shang did not go up to the couch to entertain guests, but came to the desk and sat opposite Wu Liang.
"Dean, it's been a hard trip. After Emperor Shang gave tea and waved away the idle people in the house, he was polite again, and couldn't wait to ask about the results of Wu Liang's trip: "I don't know what happened to those great grandmasters who invited the dean to meet at the border?"
Wu Liang picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, moistened his throat, and replied unhurriedly: "Two or three times out of ten discussions are the affairs of the great grandmaster, and then two or three discussions are the affairs of the world. ”
When Emperor Shang heard this, he couldn't help but stop his body and listened attentively to what Wu Liang said. In the first two cases, Emperor Shang had speculated in private when he silently pondered what the five great masters of the world had invited Wu Liang to meet on the border of the Great Qian, and he was not surprised when he heard what Wu Liang said, but when he heard the last sentence, he couldn't help but feel surprised, and at the same time, he had a hunch in his heart that the main purpose of the five great masters inviting Wu Liang together was probably this third point.
"Secrets? Several great grandmasters invited the dean, and what they said was an idle secret? This is inevitably a little ......" Emperor Shang wanted to say whether these great grandmasters were too idle, and the words did not come out of his mouth, but the meaning was obvious.
The Great Grandmaster is not only an advantage in the strength of the realm, but also represents a powerful force, they know a lot about the secrets of the rivers and lakes, but several Great Grandmasters have gathered together from thousands of miles just to tell some secrets, this is too child's play!
Wu Liang understood the meaning of Emperor Shang's words, he laughed, shook his head again and again, and said: "These secrets are different from ordinary secrets. ”
Emperor Shang reacted extremely quickly, and subconsciously blurted out: "It's about the land of China?!"
Emperor Shang was a great man of his generation, known as "the greatest emperor of all time", and even if the number of heroes has diminished a little, this reaction is still extremely fast.
Wu Liang nodded and expressed his appreciation for Emperor Shang's guess.
"That's right, it's some secrets related to the entire land of China. When Wu Liang said this, he couldn't help but recall in his mind the words that the five great grandmasters had warned him, he thought about it for a little longer this time, and only after those words were thrown out of his mind did he slowly continue: "Most of these secrets are known to the great grandmasters of the five-rank realm, but there is one thing in it, the old man thinks, can be said and discussed with His Majesty. ”
Emperor Shang's spirits perked up, and he didn't care about Wu Liang Yanming's words that he only picked out some secrets and said to him, and he also knew in his heart that even if you were an emperor, he couldn't control everything in his own hands, at least the secrets between the five great masters, he couldn't listen to them. However, Wu Liang was able to reveal some secrets, which was also quite good, and he immediately listened attentively.
"This matter is related to the mysterious space in the Land of Trials, and Your Majesty can increase its efforts to explore. Wu Liang was blunt, he didn't mention anything that shouldn't be said, and he didn't sell what he should say.
"That mysterious place?" Emperor Shang suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly asked, "This is the reason why the dean persuaded Xia Yi and asked him to take people to enter the mysterious place again to explore?"
Wu Liang nodded, confirming Emperor Shang's guess, but still made some corrections to his words: "That is not a mysterious place, it is just a passage to a mysterious place, I prefer to call it a 'mysterious space'." ”
Mysterious space is the word Wu Liang heard from Xia Yi, and in order to protect Xia Yi and the others, he did not reveal that these words were learned from Xia Yi.
None of that matters, though. When Emperor Shang heard Wu Liang's words, he immediately became excited.
