Heaven and earth returned to haze, the sun disappeared, the moonlight and stars occupied the entire sky, and the silver glow sprinkled in the city town looked gentle and tranquil, but in the Forbidden City, the capital of the Forbidden Empire, the color difference was taken away by the lights of the city.

At the gate of the city, an old man with a dragon bell helped Heng Mu to get down from the simple carriage, he was wearing a thick dark red robe, and in his right hand he held a staff with a thick head and a sharp tip of his head, looking up at the tall and magnificent Forbidden City, and was silent for a long time.

"Hey, old man, why are you blocking the door, you have to go into the city quickly, there is a queue behind us!" In a carriage dressed in gold and silver, a fat businessman with a bloated body poked his head out and urged unhappily. This is also in the national capital, in other small towns, dare to block his way, and do not discount the legs of the other party's carts!

The old man looked back at him, his eyes were cloudy, and he staggered back to the carriage, and the coachman rode up to the two soldiers who were defending the city, paid the entrance fee of five gold coins, and received two identification cards, and entered the city.

On the city wall, the three magicians stationed there were all a little nervous, and when they saw the old man enter the city, they regained their composure. The breath on the old man's body just now made them unpredictable, and at the same time there were bursts of strong coercion, the stronger the strength, the clearer the feeling, like a cat bumping into a lion, this feeling they only felt in the saint, the prime minister and the founding general and others.

"That old man... It's people at that level. The leading magician said.

"I'll report it. "One of them came out of the lookout and went down the wall, and he didn't know where to go.

The security of the national capital is very good, there is not necessarily a major event in the past few decades, even thieves rarely dare to do it here, and the Forbidden City is full of dignitaries and nobles, and they can't afford to offend any of them. And there are also a lot of palace eyeliners here, responsible for transporting all kinds of information to all kinds of people in the palace, which is extremely efficient.

"You mean, there is a great magician who has entered the Imperial City without concealment?" a majestic male voice came from inside the Golden Powder Palace.

The eunuch at the door bent his waist to the lowest and said very deferentially: "Back to Your Majesty, the soldiers guarding the city said that it was an old man in the twilight, dressed in a dark red robe, holding a large staff. ”

The hall was silent for a while, and then asked, "But you are seven feet tall, your hair is white, and your eyes are scattered?"

The great eunuch turned around and waved his hand, and two guards walked up with the mage who had come to report the news.

The mage hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty is like a god, indeed..."

"All right, go down. The voice interrupted.

Everyone hurriedly saluted and retired.

The hall was silent for a long time, and when the palace watchman sounded the gong of the third watch in the middle of the night, a middle-aged man with majestic and domineering eyes walked out in a dragon robe.

The movement woke up the big eunuch waiting outside the door, opened his eyes and saw the saint close at hand, he was frightened, knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty spare your life, the old slave deserves death, the old slave..."

"Get up!" the man interrupted with a frown.

"Yes, Your Majesty..."

"I'm going to Mingxing Palace, and in addition, send someone to tell the forbidden army and the soldiers on duty at night to be more vigilant tonight!" the man strode out.

The big eunuch nodded to a guard behind him: "Do you hear that, there must be no mistake in setting off immediately!"

Then go out with the emperor, the emperor's dragon has always been on duty in turn, and you can travel immediately at any time.

Mingxing Hall - the wall made of gold bricks, under the illumination of hundreds of goose foot lamps, reflects the solemn and luxurious golden light, making the hall look draped in a mysterious golden veil. There are many mahogany dragon pattern bookshelves placed in the hall, on which all kinds of files are placed, and in the center of the back hall, there is a dragon chair and a desk, and the pen and ink paper and inkstone on the table are available.

The guards with knives, the little eunuchs, and the palace maids stayed outside, and only the big eunuchs were qualified to follow the emperor into this hall, but today was a little special, the emperor also drove him out, and ordered that no one should enter without his summons.

In the hall alone, the saint took out a roll of bamboo slips, pulled open the red rope tied to it, and began to read.

The night grew darker and darker, and the doors and windows of the palace were closed to resist the cold wind that was gradually raging. The master slept soundly, but the servants who had afflicted the mouths of the temples were napping in front of the door and on the walls, and their hands and feet were frozen stiff.

Outside the gate of the palace, a figure quietly appeared in an open space, and then knocked the big staff in his hand on the ground: "The door of space!"

A door was opened out of thin air on the city wall, and it was silly unclear whether the door existed or not, but the figure had already stepped in, avoiding the dozens of pairs of eyes at the city gate, and entered the palace.

"Goo~"

"Goo~Goo~"

An owl cooed and hovered over the place where the emperor was sleeping, but it soon flew away, and appeared in the imperial study and the queen's bedroom one after another, and finally stopped in the Mingxing Palace.

The holy lord who read the scroll rolled the bamboo slips back up and put them back on the shelf.

"It's a cool night, and the teacher invites me to come in and warm up. ”

The saint, who is usually not reluctant to speak and is not angry and arrogant, is very humble at the moment.

"Anderson, the old man came back from Beisai, just to ask you, is this your masterpiece. A second voice rang out in the hall, and an old man in a mage's robe opened a door from the golden wall, walked in tremblingly, and threw a token on the jade floor tiles.

"The teacher's attainments in space magic are still so shocking, I'm afraid it is difficult for future generations to surpass them. Louis Anderson said with a smile.

The old man stared at him with straight eyes, and did not answer.

Anderson was silent for a while, and then smiled: "The teacher is wise, that's right, it's my people, I can't imagine that they are hiding so deeply, and they are still discovered by the teacher, it seems that their defense work is not in place." ”

The old man's beard was blown up, and he trembled with some excitement, and his staff slammed into the floor tiles: "Do you want to follow your father's old path? Now that there is no war, what do you want to do?"

Because he used too much force, the jade bricks under his staff cracked.

An Desheng was unmoved and said: "The teacher's words are wrong, as long as there are alien races, there is no peace at all, the current peace will only be short-lived, if we sit and enjoy comfort, sooner or later we will be destroyed, but instead of passively guarding, it is better to take the initiative." ”

"You want to occupy the empire of the Drifting North Continent? You are crazy, you don't even know the strength of others, that is an empire that dominates the same continent as the Forbidden Empire! The two countries have never intersected, you want to break this flat mirror and use it in the way of war?"

"One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, since I have this idea, how do you know if their supreme ruler will have a premeditated plan a long time ago? My father created this huge empire and integrated the Edero Continent, and his strength has reached its peak, I have been recuperating for thirteen years, why not attack at this time?" Anderson said loudly.

"Of course, I won't fight an unclear battle, and I have already sent ten groups of spies to the north two years ago. ”

"Thirteen years ago, you had already had this plan after only one year on the throne? The current Forbidden Empire seems to be powerful, but there are various underground forces and organizations hidden in the dark against you, so you are not afraid of falling into the predicament of internal and external troubles?" the old man questioned him.

"Internal and external troubles, those ground rats, my forbidden army will be enough to quell them, it's only a matter of time, besides..."

"Besides, you still have a group of strong dead soldiers, right? You're afraid you've forgotten the Blood Fan that your father formed? Now that the remnants of the Blood Fan are taking revenge on you, you're going to follow Chaksmont's old path, right?" the old man scolded loudly.

"They only have a few remnants left, in exchange for the Spring and Autumn Hegemony, such a pay and harvest is completely worth it, or it won't be long before the remnants of the blood fan will be uprooted by me..."

"Enough! You... You're the worst student I've ever taught!You're not worthy of being called a teacher!" The old man turned around angrily, opened a door out of thin air, and walked out, leaving Anderson alone in the hall.

"Come on! Go to bed!"

"Yes. The big eunuch guarding outside the door hurriedly trotted in...
