Xuan Hao followed Zhi Yu, bypassed the Nine Clouds Palace, and turned around the Taichen Palace, Xuan Hao saw that this was the road to the lotus pond, so he asked Zhi Yu: "Where is Xingguan going?"

Zhi Yu said: "Your Highness, it will be here soon, Your Majesty is waiting." ”

Xuan Hao had no choice but not to ask, and followed Zhi Yu for a while, sure enough, it was the lotus pond he frequented, and he saw the Emperor of Heaven standing on a small pavilion in the pool, and Zhi Yu said: "The Great Hall has come down." ”

The Emperor of Heaven said to Zhi Yu: "You go and guard, don't let people disturb us." ”

Zhi Yu led the order to stand in the distance, the Emperor of Heaven saw that Xuan Hao went to the deserted city in the Northern Regions these days, he has become a lot stronger, maybe he has experienced the battlefield, and now it seems that he no longer has the previous childishness, and his face has added a lot of masculinity. The Heavenly Emperor patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'm back." ”

Xuan Hao saluted and said, "Father is well." ”

The Emperor of Heaven said: "You have done a very good job in the affairs of the Deserted City in the Northern Regions this time, and my father is very pleased in his heart, so he specially came here to tell your mother." ”

Xuan Hao was about to ask his father about his mother, and when he heard him mention it himself, he asked, "Why does my father never allow anyone to mention my biological mother?"

The Emperor of Heaven pointed to the lotus in this pond and said: "This pond full of lotus flowers was planted by your mother herself, and in the many years that she was absent in the future, I will send someone to clean up the residual lotus every year, so that this flower will bloom better in the coming year, these thousands of years have passed, you have grown so big, and this pond of lotus flowers is exactly the same as back then." ”

Xuan Haohao said: "For so many years, my father has been missing my mother?"

The Heavenly Emperor smiled slightly, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he said to Xuan Hao: "Father Emperor knows what you want to ask, but now is not the time, do you know why Father Emperor has been pretending to be cold to you for so long, regardless of you?"

Xuan Hao hugged his fists and said: "The child didn't know before, but now he understands the hard work of his father. ”

The Emperor asked, "Have you ever held a grudge against your father in the past?"

Xuan Hao thought of the neglect he had suffered for thousands of years, so he also reddened his eyes and said, "Xuan Hao doesn't dare." ”

The Heavenly Emperor sighed and said: "Everyone thinks that this Heavenly Emperor, one of the rulers of the Three Realms of Gods and Demons, must be worry-free, but who knows that even his own young children can't protect him." When your mother was newly mourned, Beihai took advantage of the merit of attacking Chilian Qingcheng, supported the army and respected itself, and became more and more uncontrolled, Na Yuzhen hated your mother, colluded with Beihai, and was bent on getting rid of you. ”

"That's why my father wants to alienate me, and only spoil Shang Hao on the surface and let her let down her guard. Xuan Hao said.

The Emperor of Heaven nodded and said: "Even so, neither she nor Beihai will let you go, I have been sending people to secretly protect you for so many years, so that you can grow up safely." Saying that, the Emperor of Heaven took out a bag of things, and Xuan Hao saw that it was a stack of yellowed rice paper. He picked it up and looked at it, it was actually a study of his own temporary post when he was a child.

The Emperor of Heaven picked up the oldest one, which was full of crooked words, and said, "This is your first homework when you were enlightened. ”

Then he took out another one and said: "This is your first time composing, the title is "On Heavy Punishment and Light Payment", your teacher said that you have a benevolent heart at a young age, which is really rare. As he spoke, he took out each article and said it again.

Xuan Hao didn't know that his father had been silently concerned about his growth, and the resentment against his father that had accumulated over the years was swept away at this moment. Xuan Hao said: "My father has wasted so much heart for his son over the years, but my son doesn't know that it is my son's unfilial piety." ”

The Emperor of Heaven said: "Since the first battle of Chilian, the trend of local heroes has gradually risen, Beihai does not need to talk about it, two generations of sea gods, one is more ambitious than the other, and the father emperor is also struggling in the court, so he has to use the worst way to protect you, fortunately, you have grown up healthy, and now you can stand alone for the heavenly court, otherwise, I have the face to meet your mother?"

Xuan Hao said: "Rest assured, my son is very good, and I will share my father's worries in the future." ”

Seeing that Xuan Hao was so sensible, the Heavenly Emperor nodded and said: "This time, Emperor Ziwei lost the deserted city in the Northern Regions, why didn't he react, not only did he not take it back, but even in the Nine Heavens, he didn't see him come to make noise, so it didn't look like his temperament." ”

Xuan Hao then told the Emperor of Heaven everything he saw when he went to Ziyun Continent, and the Emperor of Heaven understood and said: "It turns out that Ziwei has reached the point of going crazy, no wonder, he has been thinking about his son for all these years, and he is naturally going crazy after being hit like this." ”

Xuan Hao said: "Emperor Ziwei has no time to take care of the desolate city in the Northern Regions, which helped us recapture the desolate city, and now there are star officials in the heavenly court to take care of it, and the heavenly court can be regarded as taking the first piece of meat from Haoqiang's mouth." ”

"In the past thousands of years, only Ziyun Continent can compete with Beihai, if Emperor Ziwei is really crazy, then Beihai will lose his opponent to balance him in the future, I am afraid that in the future, Heavenly Court will not even be able to control the current situation. The Emperor of Heaven said worriedly.

Xuan Hao said: "Father, my Heavenly Realm subordinate to the fifty-two Immortal Continents, seventy-four Immortal Mountains, originally under the direct control of the Heavenly Court, by the Father Emperor appointed the star officials to govern, but in order to suppress the Red Refining Clan, the Heavenly Court had to rely on the local forces of the Immortal Mountains and Immortal Continents, they took the opportunity to cultivate their wings, and gradually did not listen to the orders of the Heavenly Court, and each became the king. ”

The Emperor of Heaven said: "My son is very right. Therefore, your recapture of the deserted city in the Northern Regions this time is the first time in these years that we have recaptured our own territory. ”

"Father, it's better to take advantage of the fact that Lu Zhi is still fledgling and Ziyunzhou is too busy to take care of himself, and we will regain what little we have lost. ”

The Emperor of Heaven listened to Xuan Hao's words, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It is worthy of Wantao and my son, you and your father want to go together." There's something important right now, so you can do it now!"

When Xuan Hao heard this, he immediately knelt down and said, "Father, please give an order." ”

The Emperor of Heaven said: "That Qiongya Immortal Continent, located in a remote area, but there is no strong idea to fight it, but in recent years, it has been found that this place is rich in iron ore, and the star official of this jurisdiction has always been in charge of these iron ores, but recently the star official in charge came to report, saying that the iron ore fairy mountain of Qiongya Continent is disappearing." ”

"How could the plain mountain disappear?" Xuan Hao exclaimed.
