The three of them watched for a long time in front of the main hall, but they never saw that the two of them had reined in, and even intensified, as if they had to use their swords to compete to get higher.

And after those doubts that had no result after thinking about it and then were gradually put aside by Dongfang Shuo, his attention was put in front of him, and he really began to pay attention to the problems in front of him.

Why did the white-clothed swordsman beside Ji Zhaoning appear in the Great Inner Palace?

Could it be that Ji Zhaoning asked him to come?

Dongfang Shuo understood that even he could imagine that the Sima family would not give up, and Ji Zhaoning would definitely be able to expect it.

So when leaving the Drunken Immortal Residence, Dongfang Shuo also paid more attention to the direction of the Drunken Immortal Residence, and saw the people sent by Ji Zhaoning to protect him.

It's just that the cultivation of this white-clothed swordsman is profound, and Dongfang Shuo didn't notice his existence.

"Go and make them both stop. ”

Suddenly, the voice beside him interrupted Dongfang Shuo's train of thought.

When he turned his head to look at the emperor, the eunuch standing on the other side of the emperor swept out from the top of the stairs with a wave of dust in his hand, leaving a ripple of spiritual power behind him that was neither strong nor weak.

And when the ripples of spiritual power swept through his body, Dongfang Shuo immediately sensed the strength of this old man.

Not to mention a hundred times, forty or fifty times stronger than Dongfang Shuo.

Therefore, he should at least be a great power in the middle and late stages of the refining period, and he may even be able to compare with Wei Longyin.

The masters whose strength can be comparable to Wei Longyin's are all eunuchs in the palace, so how terrifying is the strength of the Longlin Empire, and even the heritage of the three major forces of the Academy, Buddhist Temple, and Taoism?

Airplanes!

As he was thinking, a force that shook the air instantly exploded in the square, and after this force swept outward and reached the stairs, it quickly regained and surged towards the two swordsmen, one black and one white, with great force.

In an instant, the sword intent above the two swords quickly dispersed, but in the blink of an eye, the sword qi on the two swords had disappeared, and the two of them retreated backwards at least twenty zhang before they stood together.

At this time, the black-clothed swordsman Luo Yang stretched out his hand, and the sword scabbard in the distance flew towards him, until the scabbard approached, he casually took out the sword, and took advantage of the situation to make the spirit sword return to the sheath, completely covering the edge of the sword.

"Ministers fall Yang, knock to see Your Majesty. ”

As soon as he put away his sword, he faced the main hall and knelt down.

At this time, the emperor nodded at him, but immediately turned his head to look at the white-clothed swordsman Jian An in the other direction.

Jian An had also retrieved the scabbard inserted in the stone brick in the distance, but he did not put the sword back into the sheath, looking like he wanted to fight again.

The emperor raised his head and asked in a loud voice, "Jian'an, this is the palace gate, why did you trespass on the palace gate?"

When Dongfang Shuo heard this, he was slightly stunned.

Jian'an was not punished immediately, which shows that the emperor retains a certain respect for him, and will not be punished easily. From this point of view, Jian An and the emperor must have known each other for a long time.

In this case, as the owner of Jian'an, could it be that Ji Zhaoning also knew the emperor?

Dongfang Shuo thought so in his heart.

At this time, Jian An held the sword in one hand and the sheath in the other, and said loudly: "I haven't seen you for many years, and I miss Luo Yang a little, so I broke into the palace and wanted to have a discussion with him." ”

"If you want to fight, there are thousands of miles outside the imperial city, why do you have to come to the palace?" the emperor did not seem to believe his words at all.

After the sword calmed down, he raised his hand and said: "I'm here to protect the person standing next to you, I was just forced to make a move just now, it was Luo Yang's hand that moved first, don't blame me, Emperor Xiao'er." ”

"Presumptuous, watch the words!"

Luo Yang immediately reprimanded.

His rebuke made Jian An not care.

"It's your business to respect him, there's no need for me to respect him too, right?" Jian An rolled his eyes.

And before the main hall on the stairs, Dongfang Shuo, who was watching this scene, also showed a surprised expression.

This Jian'an not only dared to fight in the palace, but also spoke disrespectfully to the emperor, as if the elders were talking to the younger ones.

What is the origin of Jian'an?

Dongfang Shuo couldn't help but have strong doubts in his heart.

"Jian'an, you said that you came to protect him, you should have been ordered by her, right?"

The Emperor stroked his beard and asked.

Hearing this, Jian An narrowed his eyes, and then took advantage of the situation to put away the blade of the sword.

After putting the sword back into its sheath, Jian An said, "Miss doesn't want anything to happen to him. ”

After hearing this, the emperor turned his head to look at Dongfang Shuo beside him.

This gaze stayed on Dongfang Shuo's body for a long time, which made Dongfang Shuo feel a little uncomfortable.

Then, the emperor looked in the direction of Jian'an again: "I haven't seen her for many years, is she okay?"

In such a tone, it is as if he is greeting the deceased.

Dongfang Shuo glanced at the emperor beside him, and then at Jian'an not far away.

In this way, the emperor and Ji Zhaoning are old acquaintances.

"But didn't Ji Zhaoning say that she was from a poor family?"

Dongfang Shuo couldn't help frowning, and he kept thinking about it in his heart.

Looking at his appearance, Ji Zhaoning is only in his early twenties, and no matter how much he overestimates it, he will not be more than thirty years old. And this old emperor is fifty or sixty years old, if it is said that he is a friend, it is a bit far-fetched.

Looking at the emperor's attitude at this moment, no matter what Jian An does, he seems to be able to tolerate everything possible, and even when he heard Jian An say 'Miss', he was a lot calmer.

"Could it be that Ji Zhaoning is the illegitimate daughter of the emperor?"

In Dongfang Shuo's heart, he suddenly thought of such a possibility.

However, there is also a mistake in this possibility, since he is already an emperor, what is it that prevents him from meeting his illegitimate daughter?

But if it's not an illegitimate daughter, then there's only one possibility left.

This emperor's old cow eats tender grass.

It's just that there is also a problem with this possibility, that is, just now in the main hall, he mentioned the Drunken Immortal Residence to the emperor, but the emperor's reaction was surprisingly calm, as if he didn't take the Drunken Immortal Residence seriously.

There are two possibilities, illegitimate daughters and old cows eating tender grass, both are possible and problematic.

Whatever the truth is, one thing is certain.

Between the old cow and the young grass, there must be a story.

"She's fine. ”

Jian An replied.

The emperor, who received the answer, showed a little please, and then said: "When will the widow have the opportunity to see her again?"

Begging to meet?

Didn't even the emperor see each other?

Dongfang Shuo became more and more confused.

"If you want to know, I can ask Miss for you when I get back. "Jian An Dao.

But the emperor shook his head: "No need, the widow just asks casually, and some people don't see it." ”

Jian settled his head and did not force it, but asked: "Then, emperor, is the matter done, if it is done, I will send him away." ”

When the emperor heard this, he turned his head and glanced at Dongfang Shuo beside him.

"You seem to have another sentence just now, but the widow didn't finish it. At this time, the emperor asked Dongfang Shuo in a tone that was neither light nor serious.

Dongfang Shuo nodded.

The Emperor continued, "Then you can continue here." ”

Dongfang Shuo glanced at Jian An, who was waiting for the emperor's answer below, and then looked at the emperor again.

He said: "I said, the emperor is not good or bad, but good and bad. You invited me to come, but ......" At this point, Dongfang Shuo suddenly stopped.

He seemed to suddenly understand something.

The emperor smiled slightly, but did not speak, as if waiting for Dongfang Shuo to continue.

After Dongfang Shuo paused, he asked the emperor: "You mean it to let me come to see you, and you know from beginning to end that someone will set up an ambush on my way to kill me, right?"

The Emperor smiled slightly: "If you can figure this out on your own, it is enough to prove that your talent is not in vain." ”

Dongfang Shuo paused: "Who is the person who can do it, and why are you doing this?"

"For the sake of the great cause. ”

As he spoke, the Emperor put his hands behind his shoulders and looked ahead, "As for who is attacking you, you will soon know." ”

"Why can't you tell me now?"

"Don't be anxious about anything, don't ask what you shouldn't know, and don't ask what you should know. The emperor said, "When considering anything, we must not start from right or wrong first, but think about it more." ”

Dongfang Shuo frowned: "What do you mean?"

The Emperor looked at him, but a deep smile appeared.

"Think more. ”

As soon as the words fell, the emperor turned his head to look in the direction of Jian'an, and said in a loud voice: "The matter is over, you can take him away." ”

Although he said this to Jian An, he undoubtedly told Dongfang Shuo that he could go.

And Dongfang Shuo narrowed his eyes and said, "You asked me to come, but you didn't say anything." I didn't get anything out of it except for a tackle. ”

But the emperor shook his head: "You have gained a lot from this trip, you will understand." Tomorrow at noon, the entire Sima family will appear outside the palace gate. ”

These words made Dongfang Shuo silent for a moment.

After a moment, he looked up at Jian An at the bottom of the stairs and said softly, "I'm leaving the Imperial City now, and I won't come tomorrow." ”

"Go ahead. ”

The Emperor said.

Dongfang Shuo walked to the stairs, but before he could take the first step, he stopped.

Turning back and looking at the emperor, Dongfang Shuo asked, "Don't you want to ask, what is the relationship between me and the people behind Jian'an?"

But the emperor smiled: "Who she befriends and who she wants to help doesn't matter to the widow." What matters is what the widow does. ”

"You can't ask what you shouldn't know, and you don't have to ask what you should know...... I remember. ”

Dongfang Shuo nodded.

So, he stepped down the stairs.

And when he and Jian An faded out of sight, the emperor turned to face the main hall.

At this time, the dusty eunuch and Luo Yang had already walked to his side.

"Luoyang, do whatever you have to do. The Emperor said.

Luo Yang arched his hand: "No." ”

After answering, Luo Yang turned and left.

And after Luo Yang walked away, the dust in the eunuch's hand trembled slightly, and a blood stain overflowed from the corner of his mouth, but he still stood firmly in place, not moving at all.

The Emperor turned his head to look at him.

"It's still too risky for you to stop those two people, you go to the hospital to heal. The Emperor said.

But the eunuch paused and said, "The slave should guard Your Majesty, and a small injury will naturally heal." ”

But the emperor shook his head: "You don't have to keep it, the widow is safe." Your injuries are too serious, go to the hospital, don't leave a hidden disease. ”
