The emperor frowned, his expression was full of annoyance: "Okay, okay, the prime minister doesn't need to say much, I naturally believe in the prime minister." However, as for the magic weapon of Xuanyuan Gate, since I let Xiao Zhang be in charge of the affairs of Xuanyuan Gate, then there is no need to hand it over to the imperial court, let him handle it. After all, a sect still needs some treasures of the town. ”

Huang Guozhong wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, sat down tremblingly, picked up a glass of wine and poured it down, which was considered to be suppressed.

Xiao Zhang thought that today's turmoil should finally pass, but the matter was not over yet, I don't know when, the fainted prince woke up, and said a straight word, but this sentence was like a sharp sword, piercing into the hearts of everyone present.

The prince's words were: "Xiao Zhang, where is the Xuanyuan Sword?"

The hall suddenly fell silent, this is undoubtedly an extremely sensitive issue, I am afraid that everyone has heard of the name of Xuanyuan Sword, and naturally knows that it is an extremely powerful artifact.

What is an artifact? It is an existence with the power to destroy the world, an artifact that can even change the power pattern of the world, even the high-ranking royal rulers cannot resist.

The prince's words also hit the nail on the head, since Xiao Zhang took over the Xuanyuan Gate, he must have controlled the Xuanyuan Sword, and a person who controlled the artifact was a self-evident threat to the empire.

The emperor's face was majestic, and this time he did not scold the prince, but quietly looked at Xiao Zhang, waiting for his answer.

In fact, Xiao Zhang had thought of this question before coming to the banquet, and it was indeed an unexplainable problem, so he had been walking on thin ice in the main hall today, carefully avoiding this topic, but unexpectedly he was brought up by the prince.

What kind of pot can't be opened! Xiao Zhang saw tens of thousands of drafts rushing by in front of him.

In that case, we can only take one step at a time. It's useless to be nervous, Xiao Zhang simply let go, now that the Xuanyuan Sword has been integrated into the prototype of the soul slaughter by him, it has long disappeared, and the emperor will never be able to search if he wants to, so the rest is what he says.

Xiao Zhang bowed slightly to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is about to announce this matter to Your Majesty." ”

The emperor didn't say a word, just stared at Xiao Zhang quietly.

Xiao Zhang looked up at Huang Shou, only to see that the emperor's eyes were like a sword, extremely sharp, he quickly lowered his head, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart, the next words still have to be a little more reliable, the emperor is not so easy to deceive, even if he makes up a story, he can't let the emperor see any traces of fabrication.

After a quick weighing, Xiao Zhang spoke: "Your Majesty, that Xuanyuan Sword has been refined by the Furnace of Creation. ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was shocked.

One of the most surprising is the emperor, you know, the furnace of creation was handed over to the prince for safekeeping, how could it appear in the Xuanyuan Gate tens of thousands of miles away, and also refined the Xuanyuan Sword! Even if the emperor knew that Xuanyuan Gate was the power of the prince, he could not imagine that the prince would throw the furnace of creation representing the position of the prince directly to Xuanyuan Gate, so that the problem was serious, this was simply a serious contempt for the emperor's authority, and even had a contempt for the position of the prince.

The prince's face suddenly turned pale, he had just woken up, and he only thought about bringing down Xiao Zhang, so he casually said something to attack Xiao Zhang, but unexpectedly, Xiao Zhang was even more ruthless, and he was also pulled into the fire pit.

The emperor's gaze had shifted to the crown prince, and he no longer said nothing, but directly asked, "Zhao Zheng, how can the furnace of creation be in the Xuanyuan Gate?"

The prince originally thought that he was justified and occupied the moral high ground, but because of his irrationality for a while, he raised the question about Xuanyuan Sword, which was tantamount to forcing Xiao Zhang to be anxious, and if Xiao Zhang was in a hurry, he would fight to a death and break the net, and no one should think about it.

At this moment, in the face of the emperor's questioning, the prince was speechless, if he couldn't give a reasonable explanation, then he might not only be deposed today, but also lose his life.

At the moment of life and death, the desire to survive made the prince's mind spin rapidly, and finally, when the emperor's patience was not exhausted, he opened his mouth to explain: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister did not hand over the furnace of creation to Xuanyuanmen, but the minister personally went to Xuanyuanmen. ”

This sentence temporarily saved the prince's life, the furnace of creation represents the prince, so he should get along with the prince day and night, never leave, once he leaves, it is the crime of defrauding the king. And go to Xuanyuan Gate, even if he participated in the conspiracy of Xuanyuan Gate, the prince is the prince after all, and this kind of crime can be turned into a big thing and a small matter.

At the critical moment, the prince's mind was quite sober and he said this life-saving sentence.

Sure enough, the emperor's face improved slightly, and then he asked, "What are you doing in Xuanyuan Gate?"

This is another very sensitive issue, it has always been an open secret that the prince secretly controls the Xuanyuan Gate, and the emperor naturally knows about it, but he has never broken this layer of window paper. Now, as things have developed, the emperor has also abandoned his scruples and seems to be ready to break the point.

There were already beads of sweat on the prince's forehead, but fortunately, he had experienced a lot of big scenes, and his words were not ambiguous at all: "Back to Your Majesty, as the prince of the empire, he will control the whole world in the future, so naturally he must have an understanding of all the important forces in the world, so he went to the field to investigate, that's all." ”

After listening to the prince's words, the emperor seemed to be secretly relieved, and he was unwilling to abolish the prince like this, after all, this prince was personally chosen by him back then. The emperor wants to save face, and if he abolishes the crown prince, isn't it equivalent to slapping himself in the face?

The emperor nodded slightly, not wanting to continue the topic, but turned his head to look at Xiao Zhang and asked, "Xiao Zhang, you continue to talk about the Xuanyuan Sword." ”

Xiao Zhang didn't answer immediately, but glanced at the crown prince, and then said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, do you really let the minister tell the truth?"

The emperor was slightly stunned, he understood what Xiao Zhang meant, it must be about the crown prince, and it should be very serious, but the emperor Chrysostom said that since he had already asked, he could only continue to ask.

The emperor said firmly: "Naturally, I want to tell the truth!"

Xiao Zhang bowed slightly and said, "Since this is the case, the minister will tell the truth." The minister was ordered to enter the Xuanyuan Gate as a supervisor, and had the right to enter and exit any place in the Xuanyuan Gate, and again, the minister entered the Xuanyuan Hall and saw a huge white alchemy furnace, with three legs and two ears, and the minister had heard of the appearance of the furnace of creation, which was exactly the same as what he saw in front of him. And in the furnace of creation, there was a gray-white long sword that was churning and struggling, and the minister could judge that it might be the Xuanyuan Sword. And that furnace of creation is obviously refining the Xuanyuan Sword!"
