It was night, dark clouds covered the moon, and the night wind blew, making a heavy rustling sound, just like everyone in this imperial capital was in danger, for fear that the struggle of the powerful people in the court would affect them.

Occasionally, a few baby cries can be heard, and such small babies seem to be able to sense the unusual atmosphere of the day, and will express their fear by crying.

In the palace, the secret guards looked around vigilantly in the dark, and the recent imperial capital was unusual, and their responsibilities were particularly heavy; The Praetorian Guard even increased the number of vigils, for fear that someone would come out and endanger the noble people in this palace.

And the emperor was still sitting in the imperial study, the look in his eyes was a little elusive, and the two kneeling in front of the emperor were even more cold sweat, after all, they had already experienced a panic, and again, this somewhat old body, it was time to tell them urgently.

"So, soon, they'll all come?"

The emperor stood with his hands in his hands, standing by the window, not looking at the two kneeling on the ground, his mind was even more heavy.

"Yes, I don't know who leaked the news, not only the people from the Qixia Sect and the Five Poisons Sect are coming, but the other sects have already set off and are on their way here."

"The Five Poisons Sect and the Qixia Sect and... a few closer sects, I'm afraid they will come as soon as tomorrow."

The two people who spoke were Prime Minister Wen and Lord Liu, the only two remaining people in the court, who were anxiously reporting the latest situation to the emperor.

"What about the Night Pavilion?"

His voice was calm, as if he didn't care about it, but those who knew him well knew that this was his moment of seriousness.

"Night Pavilion... ・ There is no news for the time being・・・・・・"

When Prime Minister Wen said this sentence tremblingly, his heart was full of fear, this emperor was furious, would he let him die here like this? After all, the emperor's strength is not covered.

"Oh? Is there no news, or can't there be news? ”

The emperor didn't turn around, he still stood like that, but the coercion exuded from his body was many times stronger, like the deep sea bottomless, and like the dark night outside, there was a terrifying power hidden in the quiet.

Prime Minister Wen raised his head slightly, didn't care about wiping the sweat on his forehead, and secretly glanced at the emperor, did the emperor know something? Almost no one knows about the matter of the Night Pavilion Pavilion, and even if he knows, it can't be counted on his head, the secrets of that medicine, others don't know, can he still not know?

"Shadow."

A dark shadow flashed and appeared in the imperial study.

"Tell him."

"Yes."

The shadow still had a cold expression, unable to see his joy or anger, nor what kind of mood he had, as if none of this had anything to do with him.

But it's really irrelevant, he's just doing what he's told.

It's just that on whose orders, it is not known.

"Since the Night Pavilion Lord left the Prime Minister's Mansion half a month ago, there has been no sound in the rivers and lakes since then, and it is rumored that the Night Pavilion Pavilion Lord may be highly poisoned and cannot escape the ascension to heaven."

"Your Majesty! The old minister is wronged! At this time, it really has nothing to do with the old minister, the night pavilion master is just a good friend with the little girl, and the old minister is not deep, his affairs, the old minister never asks, and he doesn't dare to ask! ”

Without waiting for the shadow to continue, Prime Minister Wen immediately kowtowed and wailed, as if he had been greatly wronged, whether this matter had anything to do with him or not, he had to clear himself, otherwise, the emperor would never let him go today, even if the emperor let him go, those subordinates in the Night Pavilion would never give him a chance to live!

"What is the Prime Minister excited about? The life or death of the Night Pavilion Lord has nothing to do with us, but the pattern of the world is changing, if there are more than one person, there will naturally be multiple helpers. In particular, Nan'an is in the midst of an eventful time. ”

As soon as the emperor said this, the prime minister really didn't know what to say. Does this mean that even if he does something, he will not blame it, or is he setting a trap for him?

Whatever you mean, it's always okay to keep quiet.

The prime minister's current status is not in vain, when to say it, when not to say it, what to listen to, what not to hear, what to believe, all need to be weighed again.

For example, now, it is wrong to say anything, it is better not to say it.

"Do you know who the various sects are coming this time? We're also hospitable. ”

"This ・・・・・ minister will immediately investigate tomorrow." Prime Minister Wen was stunned again, he was not good at this kind of thing, not to mention, how could he have the heart to think about these things these days? How to get a Night Pavilion Master is what he should worry about.

"The people who came to lead the team from the Five Poison Sect, the Cangqing Sect, the Imperial Beast Sect, and the Phantom God Sect are all young masters, and there may be a few elders in the entourage; As for the Qingyun Sect and the Qixia Sect, they may send important disciples from the sect over, after all, this is not a trivial matter, even if they do not oppose the imperial court, if those officials in the court can't wake up, it will be profitable for them to occupy property. ”

After hearing this, the emperor turned around and did not speak immediately, but stared at Prime Minister Wen, the coldness in his eyes made Prime Minister Wen Cheng can't help but raise his head, but when he looked up and saw the emperor's cold eyes, he hurriedly lowered his head, after all, the power contained in the eyes of a strong man is not something that ordinary people can resist.

Prime Minister Wen was shocked in his heart, how could he not know what the emperor meant?

The contrast between Shadow's mastery of everything and his ignorance is stark.

The emperor is afraid that he will see him at this moment, and he will be fast.

But the emperor didn't say a word of reprimand, if it weren't for the tense situation in the DPRK and China at the moment, let alone resign and go home now, even if it was the nine clans, he wouldn't dare to resist a word.

After a long time, the emperor removed his eyes and sat down in front of the bookcase, and the tone in his mouth was not as cold as before, but had some cordiality.

"What about the other three countries? Is there any movement? ”

Of course, this is for the shadow, and the two people who are kneeling on the ground are not as straight as this stand.

Now they are really useless.

"For some reason, the other three countries have not sent troops until now, and according to the spy report, it seems that the other three countries are very calm, and the exchanges between countries are the same as before."

The Shadow is only responsible for reporting the news, and this kind of advice is not within his purview, even if he has his own measure in his heart, he will not say it.

"Well, maybe the news didn't reach that side, after all, it's a long distance. Or maybe there's a big trend, and we haven't found it. After all, everyone in the rivers and lakes has rushed to this side, how can the people of the other three countries not know? The reason why I didn't move was because I didn't dare to move, for fear that this was a play directed and acted by me. It's just that I, how can I have the heart to arrange with them? ”

The emperor said a long paragraph, as if he was talking to himself, and as if he was talking to the three of them, but there was a dark light in his eyes, and only the shadow was alone. (To be continued.) )
