Unexpectedly, the emperor spoke at this time, "Go ahead." With Governor Xu here, it will be fine. ”

Chief Manager Cao nodded slowly at this time, "Follow the emperor's will." Then he beckoned his hand and withdrew with his servants.

Xu Zhinuo stepped forward at this time, helped the emperor up, and took out the antidote that He Qiu had prepared before from his arms, "Emperor, this is the antidote I found." In order to prevent toxicity, I have tried it first, and it will not cause harm to the human body. However, whether it can really solve the poison of the Quartet's difficulties, I don't know in my heart. ”

After there were no outsiders, the tone and attitude of Xu Zhinuo's speech seemed to be obviously free of those restraints. The emperor also smiled slightly, "It's okay, if it doesn't work, it's the destiny of heaven." ”

"It's a pity that the person who made this poison was killed by the assassins last night. The whole thing, maybe someone manipulated it. ”

The emperor said, "Sure enough, it's the same as we originally expected. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Zhinuo began to give the emperor medicine. However, Ding Qin was greatly shaken.

The emperor and Xu Zhiyu actually thought that someone was manipulating this before!

Suddenly, Ding Qin's concept changed. He originally thought that the difference between the royal family and them was only in the difference in status. But now it seems that the amount of information and the vision that can be achieved at the top level are indeed not comparable to ordinary people like them.

After taking the medicine, the emperor's body trembled significantly. Soon, from his limbs, a gray-black mist appeared.

Seeing this, Xu Zhinuo immediately sat down behind the emperor and injected spiritual power into several of the emperor's big holes. The emperor's face turned pale, but his expression showed no pain.

As time went on, the mist on the Emperor's limbs began to fade slowly. Ding Qin also found that his fingers actually began to move very slightly.

The antidote works!

For some reason, Ding Qin's heart was also filled with joy.

After about three or four hours, the gray-black mist on the emperor's limbs suddenly dissipated. At the same time, the emperor's whole body trembled, and with one mouth, he spat out a large mouthful of black blood.

Xu Zhiyu slowly put down the emperor and covered the quilt. The emperor's breath is short now, and it is obvious that he has also had a great consumption just now.

Xu Zhinuo looked at Ding Qin and said softly, "The poison has been resolved." It's just that the emperor needs to rest for a while. When he wakes up, you can ask him about it. I asked Manager Cao to take people away before, mainly because I was afraid that the content of the conversation between you would cause you trouble. ”

Ding Qin nodded, and bowed to Xu Zhi with deep gratitude, "Thank you, Governor." ”

Xu Zhinuo thought for a while, "By the way, you have to put away the General Token of the Middle Route Army I gave you earlier." It can be used to enter and exit the royal provinces. Although it is possible that you will not come back as soon as you leave after that, if you want to come to the imperial capital for anything, at least you can enter the fourth floor of the gate. ”

Ding Qin thanked again. The two fell silent at first, until an hour later, when the emperor slowly opened his eyes.

The first thing he did when he woke up was to raise his hand.

It can be seen that his eyes are also full of joy. However, it may be his historical identity that makes him not happy. He took a deep breath, sat up slowly, and put his legs on the bed, "Governor Xu, I'm sure the poison has been resolved." I've worked hard for you on this trip, and I will reward you again in the future. ”

Xu Zhinuo stepped forward and saluted, "Thank you, Emperor." However, this reward, Weichen did not dare to accept it. Because of this trip, it all depends on him to be able to get the detoxification so smoothly. ”

As he spoke, Xu Zhinuo pointed to Ding Qin. "If it weren't for Ding Qin, not only would I not have been able to recognize the origin of the name of this medicine, but I would not have been able to come back so quickly. In the matter of obtaining the antidote, and even eliminating the rebels, Ding Qin made great contributions. The person who won the award was him. ”

The emperor was slightly stunned. He looked Ding Qin up and down twice, and said, "It seems that you are only twenty years old, right?"

Ding Qin saluted, "Emperor Hui, I just turned nineteen years old." ”

The emperor smiled slightly, "Good time, good time." With such great achievements at a young age, he will definitely be a pillar of the empire in the future. Governor Xu, then you will arrange Ding Qin's official position. If he has any requirements and can meet them, you can do it. If you can't be satisfied, report it to me. ”

Xu Zhi promised to strike while the iron was hot, "Emperor, Ding Qin does not seek fame." He had something else to ask for. ”

The emperor was slightly surprised, "What else do you want?"

Xu Zhi promised, "Does the emperor know his origin?"

The emperor looked at Ding Qin twice, "I can't see it." What kind of celebrity is he?"

Xu Zhi promised, "It is said to be a famous family, but it is not a real famous family." said that it is not a famous family, but it is somewhat famous. Because, his father's name, you must remember it. ”

The emperor's face became suspicious, "Who is it?"

Xu Zhi promised, "Thirteen towns in the north, Kaiyuan City, former general of the city, Ding Shouyi." ”

The Emperor's hand shook visibly. He slowly stood up and walked in front of Ding Qin, "Ding Shouyi, are you Ding Shouyi's son?"

Ding Qin nodded, "Yes." ”

Ding Shouyi...... Ding Shouyi's son. He let out a long sigh, and then said with a wry smile, "I didn't expect that it was Ding Shouyi's son." Your father has been missing for almost four years, right? Your Ding family has also been separated for almost four years. And since you left Kaiyuan City, it has been more than three years. Unexpectedly, you showed up here. ”

As he spoke, his expression couldn't help but darken, and it was obvious that his emotions were also complicated.

To Ding Qin's surprise, the emperor actually remembered the affairs of the Ding family so clearly. Especially even knowing that he left Kaiyuan City. In this way, the emperor was still very concerned about the Ding family at that time.

Xu Zhinuo stood beside Ding Qin and patted Ding Qin's shoulder. "You can tell the emperor about yourself. ”

Ding Qin stepped forward and saluted the emperor again, "Emperor." Ding Qin came to the imperial capital this time specifically for my father's business. Earlier, in the secret cabinet at home, I found a secret letter written by the province directly under my direct jurisdiction to my father, and learned that my father was sent to Chiyan Mountain on a mission. But I inquired a lot, but no one knew the location of Chiyan Mountain. So, my request is ......"

"If you want to know where Chiyan Mountain is, then go find your father. The Emperor's tone sounded calm now.

Ding Qin nodded, "That's right." ”

The emperor said, "Okay." I can tell you. However, if you really plan to go to Chiyan Mountain, then you must take an extremely dangerous road. Moreover, our Xuantian Empire is no longer able to help you in this matter. ”

When the emperor said this, Xu Zhixu obviously had some questions, "Why?"

The emperor sat back on the bed and said, "Now there are only three of us in the room. I'll tell you something. Previously, I suspected that I was poisoned, and there was also the sudden rise of the Changmao rebels, and it was not without reason that someone manipulated me. Things have to start from the time of Emperor Lingyuan. ”

Lingyuan the Great!

Hearing this name, Ding Qin couldn't help but tremble.

Emperor Jun said, "At the beginning, Emperor Lingyuan swept across the entire Xuanling Continent and almost unified all the existing empires. But at the most glorious moment of Emperor Lingyuan, he died suddenly. And the cause of his death, no one in the outside world knows. ”

However, every generation of emperors knows this secret. That is, Emperor Lingyuan offended the lord of the continent. ”

"Continent Master?" Hearing this word, Ding Qin and Xu Zhiyu were both shocked.

The emperor said, "That's right, the lord of the continent. It is believed that the empires on the continent, the imperial royal families, are the most powerful on the continent. Once, I thought so too. However, it wasn't until a dozen years ago that I found out that it wasn't. Regarding the claim that Emperor Xuanling died as a master of the continent, I began to believe it. ”

"Ten years ago, I was young and vigorous. In those years, I fought everywhere, and there was a big war with the Tianwu Empire, and my army drove straight in, and almost the entire Tianwu Empire was wiped out. But then I received an anonymous letter. ”

"The letter said that if I dare to take another step forward, I will kill all the people in my personal guard who have cultivated to the second rank or above. ”

"At first, I just thought it was a trick of the Tianwu Empire. I ignored the letter, personally led a large army, captured the capital of the Tianwu Empire, and ransacked the palace. But when I came back, I found out, and I found ......"

Speaking of this, the emperor obviously still had palpitations. "I found that among the guards left behind, there were twenty-eight people whose spiritual power had cultivated to the second order or above, all of them died, and none of them survived! And who killed them, there is no valuable clue. ”

Hearing this, Xu Zhi promised, "Back then, the generals of the Pro-Guard Army were not killed when they were facing the enemy?"

The Emperor nodded, "Of course not. said that he was killed in battle, but it was just an explanation that I came back to appease the morale of the army. Since then, I haven't been out fighting. ”

The Emperor let out a breath slowly, and continued, "Originally, based on this matter alone, I didn't believe in any master. However, later, when sorting out the spoils of the Tianwu Kingdom, I found a delicate treasure chest. In the treasure chest, there is a letter from Chiyan Mountain to Tianwu Kingdom. ”

"It turns out that it was Chiyan Mountain who single-handedly helped Tianwu to build a country, and it has been protecting it. And Tianwu Kingdom can't expose this secret, once it is leaked, it will be wiped out. In those letters, Chiyan Mountain existed completely as the master of the continent. And some of the letters also indicate that the other empires were under their control. They have the ability to bring down any empire and decide the survival of the empire. In other words, "

The emperor smiled bitterly, "Whether it is a new empire or an old empire like us, there is still a layer of power above us! And this layer of power, operating from the shadows, controls the fate of each empire. Some empires are suddenly destroyed by a small force, and it cannot be ruled out that it is the manipulation of these people. Even I think that even the Lingyuan Emperor back then is very likely to have died at their hands! Because the Lingyuan Emperor in his heyday may have touched their interests. ”

Shocked, Ding Qin couldn't help but ask again, "Then, where is Chiyan Mountain?"
