A month later.

Feng Ho, Tai Chi Palace.

The Emperor of the Mandate of Heaven, wearing a silver mask, reviewed the folds, and although the eunuchs standing could not see his face, everyone could feel his attentive attitude.

In his hand, a memo from Guisui Town was sitting on the desk, it was a memo from Shi Yuanji.

The report on the establishment of the begging army, including military spending, system, scale, etc., and even the detailed rules for the management of the military field were reported.

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny had seen it many times before, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart. Shi Yuanji, who he once called a fool, gathered a group of people and established an army of 5,000 people in just one month.

This army is well-disciplined, well-trained, and supported by an Olympic equipment factory, which can be compared to Feng Ho's Imperial Forest Army.

"Your Majesty, it's time for dinner. The eunuch on the side whispered.

After hearing this, the Emperor of Heavenly Mandate hastily packed up the folds and said to the eunuch, "Send it to the palace." ”

Shi Yuanji should also be back to Feng Ho soon, he said in his heart.

Since he had the silver mask made by Shi Yuanji, the Emperor of the Mandate of Heaven no longer lived in Xingqing Mountain and returned to the imperial city. Feng Ho's forces are all on the move, and he must sit in the Taiji Palace and calm those who are eyeing him.

In the dormitory, after enjoying dinner, the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny retired from everyone with sleep, took off his mask and basked in the light of the red moon, and quietly waited for the arrival of noon.

The moonlight was hazy, and in the sky, Shi Yuanji's figure slowly descended, and he walked steadily and silently into the sleeping palace of the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny. He knocked politely on the door, not daring to overstep the rules.

"Why don't you just come in?"

The door of the dormitory opened, and the pale face of the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny appeared behind the door, startling Shi Yuanji.

"Your Majesty...... You're getting scary. Shi Yuanji smiled awkwardly.

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny lay back on the rocking chair and said weakly: "The influence of the Xi Rock is getting heavier and heavier, and your mask is only an expedient measure, not to mention that I still have to stabilize the situation in the court, and it is difficult for me to be healthy." ”

"It's you, I am very surprised, it is not easy to build an army in a short period of time. You go back to Feng Ho, with the power of the new army, Gui Yihu and they can be more stable, which can make me a lot easier. ”

Shi Yuanji waved his hand and said sincerely: "I don't dare to take the credit of others, the establishment of the beggar army is the result of veterans like Li Laiheng, and I just put up a name." ”

"What I'm really worried about in Guisui Town is the Dragon Pattern Academy, which His Majesty doesn't care much about. Now, the soldiers and tenants of the Beggars have completed their literacy, which is the result of the Dragonpattern Academy. ”

Speaking of this, Shi Yuanji's face flashed with a proud smile.

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny raised his eyebrows, looking a little confused: "It seems that you don't care much about Feng Hao's affairs?"

"You mean Gui Yihu, Dugu Dragon, they don't matter. Shi Yuanji looked very relaxed, took out the Yuanliu Sword from the human seed bag, faced the Heavenly Mandate Emperor, and crossed in front of him.

Emperor Heavenly Destiny calmed down, there seemed to be some disdain in his eyes, he looked at the red moon in the sky, bathed in the moonlight, and said with some uneasiness:

"It's really arrogant, Gui Yihu has summoned many natural disasters, can you deal with them?"

Shi Yuanji was stunned for a moment, touched the tip of his nose, and spread his hands helplessly: "No, for some reason, my strength has dropped significantly, and I almost died in the hands of Qu Qianren." ”

"To tell you the truth, if they really gather a group of natural disasters and want to kill me, then I'm really a little scared. ”

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny suddenly raised his voice and said a little angrily, "So you got married quietly, causing all my plans to be disrupted?"

"I was thinking that you and Nayu would get along well and fight for the natural disasters on their side, but things were going well, and Nayu gave you the list of natural disasters, and even she herself was about to give it to you. ”

"As a result, you are good, I don't know where to find a wife, and now you are exercising the rights of the lord in the Flowing Frost Mansion. What about Nayu? What are you going to do with my plan?"

Shi Yuanji was speechless for a while, he didn't expect the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny to be so excited, so he had to cough lightly and said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, this matter is a long story, I will remove the curse from you first, and then I will explain this matter, okay?"

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny was dumbfounded, struggled to sit up from the recliner, and asked in surprise, "Can you remove the curse from me......?"

Shi Yuanji continued to fiddle with the Yuanliu Sword, came to the Heavenly Mandate Emperor, and began to cast spells.

"I had a lot of adventures in Hedong, and I got this Yuanliu sword and a book. He explained as he drew the dragon pattern in the air.

"I know all these things!" said the Emperor of the Mandate of Heaven, puzzled.

Shi Yuanji cast the spell without hurry, and a strange mana fluctuation came from the Yuanliu Sword, which resonated with the body of the Heavenly Mandate Emperor, making him feel very comfortable.

"Although the book is very evil, very weird, and records a lot of evil spells, it is very useful, especially as we reveal a lot of the mysteries of life. ”

"For example, the curse on your body is an effect of mana to isolate your skin and muscles. Although the people of the Dragon Pattern Academy and I still haven't fully understood how it works, we have been able to find a way to lift the curse. ”

"Is it magical? We mortals also have access to the technological realm of the gods. ”

Shi Yuanji smiled proudly, causing the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny to settle down unconsciously.

Under the pale skin of the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny, it was as if there were strips of insect repellent squirming that slowly bulged, and then a fine milky white liquid oozed from the pores.

He only felt a pain all over his body, and he wanted to shout but couldn't make a sound, so he could only ** silently. Those milky white liquids slowly floated in the air, condensed into a ball, and hovered in Shi Yuanji's hands.

Because of the pain, the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny was sweating profusely, his eyes were wide open, saliva was flowing from the corners of his mouth, but his eyes were filled with ecstasy. The feeling of powerlessness and weakness caused by the curse disappeared completely, and the long-lost vitality was revived in his body, and his body became lighter.

Of course, what makes him happiest is his sober mind and active thinking, which is the means he relies on to survive, and what he wants to get back the most.

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny breathed a long sigh of relief, lay back on the rocking chair heavily, and smiled a little hysterically: "Awesome, I still underestimate you." ”

He glanced at Shi Yuanji with his spare eyes, only to see Shi Yuanji's eyes intently studying the milky white liquid, and he didn't seem to hear his words.

"I said, Shi Yuanji, you shouldn't have something to hide from me, right?"

The Emperor of the Mandate of Heaven stood up and took back the mask, which he actually put on his face again.

"Yes. Shi Yuanji nodded invisibly and stared intently at the milky white liquid. "Your Majesty won't be a place of death, and suddenly think I'm hateful, right?"

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny did not speak.

"Do you regret it?" you don't think you should let me inherit the title of the Marquis of Overlap?" Shi Yuanji asked with a sudden smile as he put the milky white liquid and the Yuanliu Sword into the seed bag.

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny pointed to the mask he was wearing on his face and asked calmly, "Look at this, what is it?"

"The mask I made for you?" Shi Yuanji said with his hands on his chest, puzzled.

"No, he is the trust between you and me. The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny swore and said. "I will continue to wear this mask until you bring down the Eight Pillars. ”

"I'm sure you're not interested in my dragon chair because I can't see through you all the time. We mortals have our own logic, we will fight, calculate, and kill for profit, but you are not. ”

"You're a guy from the sky, and I've never seen the mortal aura in you, so I don't regret giving you the name of the Reunion Hou, and you don't care about that, do you?"

Shi Yuanji couldn't see the expression of the Heavenly Mandate Emperor under the mask, and only felt a chill in his heart. The boy in front of him was simply terrifying, and seemed to see through everything about him at a glance.

He is no longer the weak and weak sick man, but a king who is vertical and horizontal, a strong man that Shi Yuanji does not dare to face.

He had no choice but to cough lightly and said embarrassedly, "Then you don't need to continue wearing a mask, your curse is gone." ”

"This is an excellent disguise to deceive Gui Yihu and them. The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny said in a deep voice. "I warn you that if you break the curse of the Stone, you will inevitably incur His wrath, so be careful. ”

"In addition, the relationship on Nayu's side must be handled well, if you don't know how to do it, you have to teach Hu Dan to teach you. ”

Shi Yuanji sighed, and said with a firm refusal in his eyes: "I don't plan to do these things, in fact, I came here tonight to cure your curse, or to hand over the military power of the beggar army." ”

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny screamed in surprise, subconsciously took off his mask, revealing a surprised face: "What did you say?"

Shi Yuanji spread his hands and said helplessly: "Why is it this kind of expression, I thought you could imagine it." ”

"The beggar army has been established according to my original plan, and Li Laiheng has done a good job. Absorb the disaster victims, expand the power against the Sky Wolf, and that's enough. ”

"But against the claw, we still need more people who can use the dragon pattern to do it, these manpower needs to be literate and need to master the basic dragon pattern, which is why my main focus is on the dragon pattern academy. ”

"Chengyun Pavilion is too arrogant, but I don't want to do this kind of work, I can only cultivate it myself. ”

Shi Yuanji looked helpless.

"You teach it yourself?" said the Emperor of Destiny with a frown.

"No, I've got a lot of people to do it. Shi Yuanji said sincerely. "The prospective students who fell off the list, the down-and-out members of the royal family, and the young people who have money to study in Hedong, they are the main force. ”

"I've put all my energy into studying the dragon tattoo, or you'd still be cursed right now. I have always told Li Laiheng that it is your will to establish a beggar army, and it is logical to hand over the beggar army to you now. ”

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny pondered for a moment and shook his head: "You keep the military power for yourself, I have the Imperial Forest Army here." ”

You really rest assured of me, Shi Yuanji sneered.
