"Xue Qing, have you ever understood the significance of this banquet?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister understands. This banquet will decide the life and death of the younger brother. ”

The Holy Queen Niangniang smiled coldly, turned around, looked at the sea of stars above the horizon, and said lightly: "His life and death are already doomed." ”

Xue Xingchuan was slightly flustered when he heard this, he didn't quite understand what the Holy Queen Mother meant.

Literally, this sentence has two meanings.

First, the Holy Queen Niangniang never doubted Zhou Tong, and she would not let him die.

The second is that the Holy Queen Niangniang does not plan to protect Zhou Tong, she will hand over the sword that determines Zhou Tong's life and death to Tang Ning.

These two completely different meanings come from the same sentence.

Zhou Tong is the chief official of the Qing Officials Division, and he is a member of the three grades of the national dynasty, and he is deeply trusted by His Majesty.

If it weren't for the Demon Clan's meticulous work this time, if it wasn't Tang Ning, a Saint Realm powerhouse, who discovered this matter, Xue Xingchuan believed that Zhou Tong would be safe and sound.

But the facts are in front of us, and when all this does not exist, it is no longer certain whether His Majesty will be willing to set up Downing's opponent as an enemy after being separated from the Pope.

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhou Tongzhou, the chief officer of the Qing Officials Division, please see me."

Just as Xue Xingchuan was thinking silently, a female official walked into the hall, came behind the Holy Queen Niangniang, and said softly.

"Xuan."

An extremely simple word, as if conveying some kind of signal, Xue Xingchuan frowned, arched his hand, and slowly withdrew from the main hall.

As long as His Majesty is willing to see Zhou Tong, it is clear that His Majesty is willing to give him a chance. As for whether Zhou Tong can grasp the opportunity, it can only rely on himself.

When Xue Xingchuan walked out of the main hall, he saw that under the steps in front of the main hall, Zhou Tong was anxiously climbing.

There are only hundreds of steps, placed in Pingsuli, and it is no problem for Zhou Tonglai of the Gathering Star Realm.

But today, his face was covered with sweat, and his steps were hurried and chaotic.

When he and Xue Xingchuan met each other, Xue Xingchuan wanted to open his mouth to remind him, but found that Zhou Tong had crossed him without any pause.

Xue Xingchuan looked at Zhou Tong's anxious expression, and after muttering silently, he watched him walk into the main hall, and turned around with a sigh to leave.

He knew that Zhou Tongxu was too anxious, so he didn't bother to talk to him. Xue Xingchuan can understand his brother's thoughts, and he also thinks that what Zhou Tong is doing so far is the best solution.

begging the Holy Queen Mother to forgive her sin, maybe there is still a chance to live. If you do nothing, or take the opportunity to escape, you will only die.

In the main hall, the Holy Queen Niangniang heard the slightly frivolous footsteps behind her, raised her eyes slightly, and glanced at Zhou Tong, the chief officer of the Qing Officials Division kneeling under His Highness.

"Zhou Qing, you are so flustered, what's the matter?"

Zhou Tong was slightly flustered when he heard this, and then the corners of his mouth turned up, secretly happy.

You must know that Pingsuri Zhou Tong is a saint, and the holy queen has never called Zhou Qing.

Today, His Majesty is called so, which naturally represents His Majesty's position?

He was the dog in front of the Holy Queen, and he naturally understood how important the Lord's position was when the dog bit the wrong person. If the bite provokes the dislike of the owner, it will naturally not end well.

"Your Majesty, today's minister learned an incredible piece of information from the mouth of the demon clan spy in prison."

The Holy Queen Niangniang did not ask out loud, but frowned slightly, looked at Zhou Tong, and asked, "What news?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister learned from the demon clan spies that someone in our human race seems to be on the demon clan's must-kill book."

"It's just that the demon spy has a low identity, and he doesn't know Narao's identity. Or, in the entire demon race, there are only a few people who can clearly know who this person is. ”

"According to the demon spy, this person's cultivation is extremely high, and he once entered the forbidden land of the demon clan six years ago, and brought out some kind of holy object of the demon clan from the forbidden land. The Demon Lord had already issued a death order six years ago, asking the people of the Demon Clan to find his traces as soon as possible. ”

"Oh? Is there such a thing? ”

The Holy Queen Niangniang's eyebrows twisted slightly, and she glanced sideways at Zhou Tong, who was prostrate on the ground.

"My subordinates don't believe it, after all, the Demon Demon Lord's cultivation is profound, and this person can enter the Demon Clan's forbidden land and take away the Demon Clan's holy relics from the forbidden land, which is really incredible."

But when he heard what had happened outside the city gate, he hurried near. After witnessing the cultivation of the dean of Mingde Academy, he got some advice from the words of the demon clan who were lurking in the Qing Priest's Division. Come to think of it, this person who made the Demon Lord angry was the dean of Mingde College. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, he actually let the demon clan mix into the Qing Officials Division, which is the minister's dereliction of duty. The minister is willing to accept any punishment from His Majesty, even if he asks for the minister's life, the minister will never say anything. ”

"It's just that the stakes are high. Now that the demon clan is angry, once the demon lord learns that the dean of Mingde Academy is in the divine capital, I am afraid that he will lead the demon army and invade the territory of our human race. The life and death of the minister, but the life and death of the next sentient beings are big. ”

"If this matter is left unchecked, it will inevitably repeat the war between humans and demons, and our human race will definitely be ruined at that time. It has been nearly two hundred years since the last war between humans and demons, and now that calm will be restored, it is really not appropriate for another war to break out. ”

The holy queen didn't say anything, just looked at Zhou Tong quietly, and there was a hint of interest in her beautiful eyes.

"Zhou Qing, what do you mean is that in order to protect the human race, let me drive Tang Ning away?"

Zhou Tong knew Tang Ning's name for the first time, and from the question of the Holy Queen Niangniang, Zhou Tong keenly sensed that something was wrong.

Zhou Tong's face on the ground showed a thoughtful look, and he spoke loudly after a few breaths.

"Your Majesty, the minister knows that his cultivation is low, and he doesn't dare to conflict with Dean Tang. The minister didn't resent Dean Tang, so he made up lies to wronged Dean Tang. The demon clan's meticulous work was mixed into the Qing Officials Division, which was indeed a dereliction of duty on the part of the minister, and the minister had nothing to say. ”

"But compared with the life and death of the ministers, the peace of the Great Zhou Dynasty is the most important thing. Today, the minister's words are all from the bottom of his heart, and I hope that His Majesty can make a decision as soon as possible. ”

"Zhou Qing, you don't have to be like this, I naturally believe you. You are peaceful for Da Zhou, and you have countless infamy, I naturally understand. I already know what you are doing, so you step aside and discuss it after I meet with Downing tonight. ”

Hearing the words of the Holy Queen Niangniang, Zhou Tong agreed, bowed his head and left.

After leaving the court's political hall, Zhou Tong's lowered head was quietly raised, and a hint of pride appeared in his narrow eyes.

He knew that his life should be saved.

But what he didn't know was that when he bowed his head and withdrew from the court, the Holy Queen Niangniang on the dragon chair had a smile on the corner of her mouth.

The smile was unusual and full of complexity.

In Baihua Lane, Tang Ning took He Ping and Hao Yun to stand in front of the gate of Mingde Academy.

"Yun'er, you are the fifth disciple of the teacher, and you are also the most special disciple. As a teacher, I hope that you will enter Mingde College today, and in the future, you will be aware of your intentions and virtues. ”

Hao Yun bowed and said softly, "Teacher, Yun'er will definitely live up to Master's expectations." ”

Tang Ning smiled and looked at the lightning that was still hanging in the air, looming.

"Xixi, is there any way to remove this lightning?"

"Master, this lightning bolt is a thousand catastrophes. The appearance of this tribulation means that your apprentice has survived 999 tribulations, and as long as he survives this tribulation, he will automatically disappear. When it is a thousand calamities again, it will appear again. It's just that the calamities of a thousand calamities become more and more ferocious every time, and when you get through the tribulations of ten thousand calamities, you will be able to become holy. ”

When Tang Ning heard this, he thought to himself for a moment before he spoke.

"But Yun'er has not practiced now, do you want him to use his mortal body to survive the tribulation?"

"Master, Hao Yun is born from the transformation of Liangyi Yin Fruit. Every time he survives a calamity, whether it is physical or cultivation, he will benefit immensely. Although he had never cultivated, as long as his master led him into the Tao, he would be able to become strong in an instant. ”

"Huh? So how strong will Hao Yun be after entering the Dao? ”

"Based on his calculation of a thousand tribulations, he can reach the peak of Tongyun, and if he can survive the tribulation of a thousand tribulations, he will be able to enter the primordial realm of gathering stars in an instant."

"The pinnacle of seclusion? But the power of this thunderstorm is far from being comparable to Tongyun. Are you sure Hao Yun will be able to survive? ”

"This, master, Xixi is just speculation, not sure."

"Then can I push him back from this Thousand Tribulations?"

"Host, although it is possible, Xixi does not recommend doing so. After all, after the tribulation of a thousand tribulations, Hao Yun can continue to go through the tribulation. And the existence of the Ancestor of the Holy Light doomed the future of the Lord Rao to be extremely dangerous. ”

"If the master can save up enough help before he comes, there will be much less danger in the future."

PS: Wake up early tomorrow to go to the hospital, that's all for today. Rest early, good night, everyone.
