Yi Ming and his group drove for more than ten days, and finally the city walls appeared in front of them, which were more than 100 people high, all of them were white in color and spotless. Within the city walls, tall buildings rose from the ground. At first glance, the city seems to have no end, all of which are tall houses, wide streets, and countless rivers running through the city.

Yi Ming looked at it from afar, and felt that the appearance of this city in this position was very mysterious, although he was not a qi practitioner, but he had read so many ancient books since he was a child, and he knew a little bit of qi magic. The roads, mountains, etc. around this big city seem to form a giant dragon that will take off at any time, and this giant city suppresses the dragon qi precisely at the location of the dragon's eye. Moreover, the location of this giant city is extremely good, the upper dragon pan, the lower tiger leap, the left vermilion bird, the right Xuanwu, the center is the Teng snake, this kind of terrain, either out of the peerless demon, or out of the peerless talent! Yi Ming can't help but sigh, it is worthy of being the capital of a country, so majestic, his own Yicheng is like a rural market compared to here.

Under the leadership of Yi Yuan, Yi Ming and his party entered from the east gate of the city, entered the inner city directly, and pointed directly at the palace.

Coming to the gate of the splendid palace, Yi Yuan's entourage was waiting outside the palace gate, and he and Yi Ming went to see His Majesty under the leadership of the guards. At this time, someone had already reported the matter to Xia Houqi.

Yi Ming entered the palace with his father, only to see five steps on the first floor, ten steps and a pavilion, the corridor waist back, the eaves and teeth pecked, each hugging the terrain, hooking and fighting, if someone did not lead the way, he was afraid that he would get lost inside.

All the way quietly, I finally arrived at the palace where Xia Hou specially received ministers and dealt with government affairs, in front of the palace of diligent administration. Entering the hall, Yi Yuan took Yi Ming to the end and bowed.

"There is Yi Yuan, the leader of the Yi clan, and his son Yi Ming to meet Your Majesty!"

"Haha, Brother Yi Yuan, please hurry up, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years, this Yi Ming has grown so big, let's get up quickly." A majestic voice came from above.

Before Shaokang Zhongxing, Shaokang had taken refuge in the Yi family, and Shaokang's son was very compatible with Yi Yuan, who was not much different in age at that time, and later Shaokang took his son back to reset, and that son was now the Xia Hou in front of him, so he called Yi Yuan a brother. But Yi Yuan will not call this majesty a brother, "a brother on horseback, a monarch and a minister in the court", this is a truth that has existed since ancient times, and Yi Yuan naturally understands.

Yi Yuan and Yi Ming stood up, and Yi Ming had the opportunity to quietly glance at the legendary master of the whole world, Xia Houzhu. This majesty has a high face, no matter how you look at it, he is an emperor, with a full forehead and infinite luster inside, which seems to be a real "heavenly court". Yi Ming took a look at it and knew what "under the whole world, it is not the king's land; It feels like the whole earth is rising and falling with him, the stars are moving because of him, and the ghosts and gods are all obeying his orders, this is the co-master of the human race, this is the emperor of the human race!

After getting up, Yi Yuan reported to Zhu Yu about the possible comeback of the border secluded capital country, as well as the escape of the Jiuli Skull. Yi Ming stood silently beside him with his hands down, not daring to make a sound.

Zhu listened carefully, his face became more and more solemn, and after thinking for a while, he gave his will.

"There are a lot of things involved in the Youdu Kingdom, your army has not found evidence directly pointing to the Youdu Kingdom, and the soldier who sent back the news died after only saying a word, these are not enough for us to directly send a large army to suppress the Youdu Country, so you will send more people to strictly guard the northern border and focus on monitoring the Youdu Country. ”

"Yes!" Of course, Yi Yuan would not think that just by relying on his own news, his majesty would be able to declare war with the Youdu Kingdom, and no one in his own people caught the people of Youdu, who knows if those two soldiers were really taken away by the savages. Therefore, after the summer, naturally he would not start a war lightly, and start a big war because of two or three soldiers?

"What about the Jiuli Clan?" Yi Yuan continued to ask.

"Hmph! Jiuli Yu is not honest!" "When Empress Xia heard this, she was angry, this is real human and physical evidence, "The widow will send people to strictly guard Jiuli's every move, and at the same time give the Emperor of Heaven, if Jiuli still dares to act rashly, the widow will ask the Emperor of Heaven to completely destroy this clan." ”

After Xia, this was completely angry, once his ancestor Yellow Emperor defeated Chi You, but did not kill them all, and still gave a piece of land to his clansmen, who would have thought that this clan would be so ignorant of the grace of heaven! The emperor's wrath, millions of corpses, bleeding thousands of miles! Yi Ming, who was standing on the side, also felt the anger of this majesty, and it seemed that there was a crackling sound like thunder in the air.

"Is this the wrath of thunder? worthy of the emperor, a fury and frightened!" Yi Ming couldn't help but think in his heart, admiring this unfathomable majesty even more.

And the Empress Xia also looked at Yi Ming and said with a smile: "There is nothing in Yi Ming's blood that the demon blood turned into by the skull, and there are many wizards in my Great Xia Tai Hospital, but there is a way to eliminate the demon blood." Xia Hou paused, and then said: "However, the widow does not recommend this, the widow thinks that Yi Ming can completely rely on his own cultivation to defeat the demon blood, so as to turn it into his own use, and then the skeleton will become your great supplement, Yi Ming, what do you think?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is naturally not afraid of this demon blood, and the minister is confident to defeat it!" Yi Ming naturally knew what this Majesty wanted to hear, and besides, he really wanted to defeat the demon blood by his own strength. Cultivating immortals, what you want is this kind of non-fake foreign object, everything depends on your own mentality.

"Okay, it's worthy of Yi Yuan's son, it's really a tiger father without a dog. Zhu was very satisfied when he heard this answer, and patted Yi Ming on the shoulder.

"Your Majesty has praised it," Yi Yuan next to him hurriedly bowed down and said modestly, "Your Majesty, the minister still has a reluctant request." ”

After hearing this, he smiled, waved his big hand, and said heroically: "What is the relationship between you and the widow, and if you have any requirements, just ask." ”

"Yi Ming wants to take the path of refining the body, and the minister wants to ask His Majesty to allow him to go to the Great Xia Arsenal and choose suitable exercises for him to cultivate. ”

"Well, have you embarked on the path of refining your body?" Xia Hou was quite surprised, "Which realm are you in now?"

"The minister is just able to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon. Yi Ming replied respectfully, he only knew so many mysteries more than ten days ago, and he was just starting out.

"Huh?" Xia Houzhu carefully observed Yi Ming, Yi Ming felt as if he had been seen through under the gaze of this majesty, there was no secret to speak of, but he didn't dare to dodge, and respectfully accepted His Majesty's gaze.

"The foundation is good, presumably your father let you practice martial arts on weekdays and laid a good foundation. Zhu retracted his gaze and nodded with satisfaction, "Sure enough, the bloodline of the Great God Yujiang has been fully stimulated, ordinary body refiners can only absorb the power of the five elements to strengthen the body first, and you can absorb the essence of the sun and the moon just start, which is very good." ”

"Your Majesty thanked you for your compliment. ”

"Then you can go to the palace arsenal in a while, and choose a supernatural power cultivation book that suits you. Xia Houzhu said, "It just so happens that the widow wants to hold a genius conference in three months, you should cultivate and prepare well and strive for a good result." ”

"Genius Conference?" Yi Ming asked puzzledly, could it be a martial arts conference, and let His Majesty hold it in person?

Empress Xia nodded, "Exactly, the widow plans to gather the young children of all the tribes, Fang countries or families of Great Xia to gather in the summer capital to test their magical powers, and if they achieve good results, the widow will be rewarded." ”

"I see," Yi Ming now understood, this was actually a conspiracy of the Xia Hou, which could play a role in monitoring and seeing if the major tribes had any notable talents; second, it could make the major tribes enmity against each other, which would serve the purpose of weakening and be more conducive to the rule of the Xia Hou clan; and third, it could also take the opportunity to win over the winning clan.

With such a move, you can get so many benefits, and the emperor's scheming is really unfathomable.

Xia Hou continued to encourage: "The widow and your father are like brothers, so I will give you another gift." If you can come out on top, the widow will give you an artifact from your ancestors in the treasury. ”

"Ancestor's artifact?" Yi Ming naturally didn't know what it was. However, Yi Yuan's eyes lit up on the side, and he said excitedly: "Could it be?"

The great god Yujiang is not only the god of the sea, but also the god of the wind, he was holding this sword to resist the wind and commanding the ghosts and gods, which is the most suitable for the bloodline in your body, and it is also a special gift to you." ”

Yi Ming said excitedly: "The minister must do his best to live up to His Majesty's high expectations!"

"Well, the widow still has government affairs to deal with, so you can step back first. Seeing that it was too late, he ordered the eviction. "Yi Ming can enter the palace at any time in the future and go to the arsenal to learn supernatural powers, but remember not to take them out or pass them on. ”

Yi Yuan and Yi Ming's father and son saluted respectfully and said, "Yes, the minister will retire." ”

Inside the summer capital, the palace is the place where the queen of Xia, concubines and the royal family live, and the outside of the palace is the inner city, which is the residence of the officials, and the place where the leaders of the various countries and tribes stay during the pilgrimage, and the outer city outside the inner city is where the ordinary people live.

All the way out of the palace gate under the leadership of the eunuch, back to the courtyard where the Yi family had a special resting place in the inner city, Yi Ming asked his father: "Father, what is the state of Your Majesty's cultivation?"

Seeing his son ask this question, he shook his head and sighed: "When I was young, I did play with him and practice, and he was ambitious at that time, since he ascended to the throne, I feel more and more that he is unfathomable, it is estimated that it is the secret art of the Great Xia Dynasty, but as the co-master of the human race, there are too many things to do, and it is inevitable that he will suffer from scheming and hard work, if he is just a person from the outside world who has no concern, I am afraid that he has become a demigod, but there is no way, he is in that position, he has his responsibility." ”

"I see. Yi Ming also felt that His Majesty was unfathomable, whether it was cultivation strength or imperial scheming.

"Son, I believe that he is like a brother to me in his heart, but when he sits in that position, he will not be able to do what he wants. Yi Yuan also seemed to know that his son had seen the city of the Xia Hou, "Remember, in his position, seek his government, and in the future, you will inherit your father's position and become the leader of the Yi clan, and you will know." ”

"Yes, child, remember. Yi Ming said respectfully.

"You can rest well tonight, go to the arsenal tomorrow, stay here for the next few months, cultivate well, and prepare for the conference in three months. As a father, he will go back in a few days, and there are still so many affairs to be dealt with by the Yi family. Yi Yuan arranged things, "As for the demon blood in your body, it's up to you." ”

"Yes, father, the child will not let down his father. ”
