After Takeki Miyamoto announced the new rules of the Gendokai, he took his leave of the palace.

Above the court, probably only some veteran-level high-ranking officials knew the difference between the old and new rules, after all, the Yanhua Empire had not been eligible to participate in the Yuan Dao Society for many years. Even those high-ranking officials who have experienced the Yuan Dao Society have a little trouble remembering the rules of the Yuan Dao Society in the past at this time, and even His Majesty the Emperor has to think about it for a while before he can remember the grand event of all nations more than ten years ago.

"It's been a long time since I've paid attention to the Yuan Dao Society, so long ago that I have forgotten the rules......

When His Majesty the Emperor was distracted, the father-in-law, who knew the holy will, saw the tiredness in His Majesty's eyes, and then preached loudly: "Retreat from the dynasty!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The ministers retired.

Out of the Jinluan Palace, it is a wide square. There were dozens of rich and gorgeous carriages parked in the square, and the powerful people of the Yanhua Empire got into the carriages and drove home. The fifth Tingyun and the other nine cultivators were waiting outside the hall, and soon King Qing came out under the support of several old ministers, and the old ministers all had eyesight, and they retreated one after another.

King Qing led the fifth Tingyun and the others to the eight-horse carriage.

Just as they were about to board the car and drive out of the palace to the palace, a father-in-law hurriedly ran out of the palace, raising his hand and shouting as he ran: "Please stay, please stay, please stay." King Qing turned around, and the fifth hearing cloud and they all stopped, the father-in-law gasped and said, "The fifth lord, the emperor is invited!"

Fifth, Tingyun was stunned for a moment.

And just when he was stunned, his father-in-law had already explained the situation to King Qing, who nodded his understanding and boarded the carriage. Xiao Mengdie, Chen Shanbao and the rest of the people followed and got into the carriage, the coachman drove away, and the eight horses walked away.

"May I ask my father-in-law, what is the emperor doing when he sees me?" the fifth heard Yun asked, and his feet had already followed his father-in-law.

The father-in-law smiled and said, "Your Majesty is worried about the state of the empire's cultivation, and I haven't been able to sleep peacefully for a few days some time ago. Especially when the Yuandao Association is approaching, although His Majesty doesn't say it, he is actually very worried. This year, thanks to you, the fifth adult, holding the golden order, Your Majesty has repeatedly praised you for your youth and success, and you are a model for the younger generation. ”

Thousands of clothes, not sycophants, this father-in-law saw that the fifth Tingyun was a celebrity in front of the emperor at this stage, and he flattered him to the end, and he didn't answer half a word about the question of the fifth Tingyun. Fifth Tingyun was also happy when he heard this, and he didn't ask any more questions, but just changed the question and asked, "Father-in-law, I don't think we should go back to Jinluan Palace." ”

"Oh, my lord, if you go back to the Jinluan Palace, why doesn't Your Majesty tell you in the morning?" said fairly, "How else can you say that you are a celebrity in front of Your Majesty? ”

Fifth, Tingyun felt the kindness of this father-in-law to him, although he didn't stammer, but he always felt that he was too enthusiastic. He didn't get involved in officialdom, and he was a little uneasy about this unprovoked enthusiasm, and his father-in-law's unique duck voice also made him a little unhappy, so he didn't respond enough. The father-in-law's heart is as clear as a mirror, he just smiles, and there is no displeasure.

In the palace, there are five steps and one post, seven steps and one sentry, the road is wide and tortuous, which can accommodate several carriages in parallel, and at the same time it is nine twists and turns, like a labyrinth. He followed behind his father-in-law, and at first he wanted to remember the road he had come, but when he went into the depths, he had forgotten all the previous memories.

"Here, sir, you can go in by yourself. ”

The father-in-law led the fifth Tingyun to the imperial study and stepped aside.

Fifth, he thanked Yun Dao and pushed the door in. Behind the door is a spacious hall with four rows of thick stone pillars towering to the sky, supporting the entire imperial study. The surface of those stone pillars is painted gold, and they look brilliant and brilliant, and they are extremely magnificent. Under the feet is a stone brick paved with green and white jade, on which the blue color is vibrant, and the light can be seen.

He continued to walk inside, and soon saw the emperor.

The Emperor was sitting behind his desk, talking to a man at the table.

He was stunned for a moment, and then stepped forward to greet him.

"Flatten. The Emperor looked at the Fifth Tingyun, and the Fifth Tingyun stood up straight, also quietly observing the Lord of the Kingdom. Although he had seen it twice in the Jinluan Hall before, at that time, because the dragon chair was too high and too far, he could only feel the domineering majesty of His Majesty the Emperor, and he could not see clearly the appearance and bearing of the Son of Heaven. At first glance, he felt that the emperor was heroic, although his forehead was wrinkled, but he did not hide his handsome demeanor, and between talking and laughing, he was even more gentle and kind, not like an emperor, but like a loving father.

"Bold!" Suddenly, the emperor was furious, slapped the table in front of him, and shouted, "Fifth Tingyun, do you know how presumptuous and rude you are?

Loving father, suddenly became a ruthless emperor.

However, the fifth Tingyun didn't seem to feel threatened by this, and just muttered: "I am the only one left in the fifth clan, imprisoned in the heavenly prison, and the northwest is bitterly cold, so what is there to be afraid of." He said this purely by feeling, not intentionally contradictory, and when he said this, he fell into a certain low mood, as if he had completely forgotten that he was now in the imperial study.

At this time, he felt that someone next to him pulled his sleeve, turned his head in confusion, and immediately saw a familiar face. After a little recollection, I remembered that this person turned out to be Sikong Ming, the thief king of the Wuxiang Hall back then: "It's you, why are you here?"

Sikong Ming didn't reply, just winked.

Fifth Tingyun came back to his senses and found that the emperor behind the desk had a gloomy face, obviously a little angry. But the emperor did not say a word, and his eyes stared at the front of the stage, not knowing what he was thinking. The atmosphere in the study suddenly became solemn and dull, Li Zongren was the lord of a country, his majesty and temperament could not be changed, when he was angry, the air in the entire study did not dare to flow fast.

Sikong Ming looked down at his toes, leaned forward, and maintained a respectful standing posture.

The fifth Tingyun seemed to be a little indifferent, and looked around at the furnishings of the imperial study.

"The Fifth Clan...... It is Yanhua's founding weapon and the hero of the empire. After a long time, the emperor spoke, his voice was so low that the deep Fifth Tingyun even had to prick up his ears to hear clearly, "I will give you an explanation of this matter." ”

Fifth, Tingyun listened to the emperor's words, and he didn't feel much flattered, but he felt that it was taken for granted. Although after such a long investigation, he was almost certain that the disappearance of his people's parents had nothing to do with the venerable emperor in front of him. However, the ancestors of the fifth clan made contributions to the Yanhua Empire, but they were repeatedly degraded, to put it bluntly, it was the royal family, and it was the dirty means of the people in the royal family to unload the mill and kill the donkey.

In this respect, it is not an exaggeration for the emperor to give an explanation, he thought.

After the emperor finished speaking, he picked up a letter on the table, the cover was blank, and there was no place for the letter or the person to receive it. The moment he picked up the letter, the emperor changed into his fatherly face again, and turned to Sikong Ming: "Sikong Ming, this time you have made a meritorious service, and I will no longer pursue the things you did in Xiangtang before." ”

Sikong Ming hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace." ”

"Takeki Miyamoto's side is already a little messy. But that old fox is not easy to deal with, if you stay in Shenjing, sooner or later he will be caught by him. The emperor nodded and continued, "In this way, although you are older, you are also a cultivator of the Jiedan Realm, so I will allow you to go to the capital of Yuanmeng with the fifth Tingyun." ”

Sikong Ming said again: "Your Majesty." ”

The emperor glanced at the fifth Tingyun and asked, "Fifth Tingyun, are you okay?"

Fifth, Tingyun said: "The emperor has decided, what other opinions can I have." ”

The emperor laughed and said: "Fifth listening to the clouds, my Allure said that you are unruly and untamable, although you seem to be very easy to get along with, but you are arrogant and arrogant in your bones, which is really true. You have been rude to me many times, even if you are in the imperial study, it is enough, if you are in the Jinluan Palace, I will never spare me!"

Fifth, he heard Yun Gan laugh and did not answer, he looked at the letter that the emperor held in his hand, and he was a little interested in Sikong Ming's "credit".

"Fifth Tingyun, this time the Yuan Dao will temporarily change the rules, what do you think?"

The Emperor naturally brushed over the previous topic and asked.

Fifth Tingyun recalled the new rules announced by Miyamoto Takeki at the court hall before, and said: "In the past, the Martial God Temple was responsible for transporting the participating cultivators, but now it is changed to go on your own, and you also have to escort the tokens of the Martial God Temple, and only when you arrive smoothly can you be qualified." To put it bluntly, there was another screening before the Yuan Dao Meeting, and I don't know what the specific purpose of the Martial God Temple is, I only know that the number of participants in the Yuan Dao Conference this year is likely to decrease sharply. ”

The emperor nodded, there was too little information provided by the Martial God Temple, and all that could be figured out so far was on the surface: "The change in the rules doesn't have much impact on the Yuan Dao Society itself, but in this case, I'm afraid you will have to leave early." In the past, there was an ironclad spaceship from the Martial God Temple, and it took ten days and half a month to fly over the Dongsheng Divine Continent and reach the capital of Yuanmeng. Now go on your own, estimate the distance, if it goes well, it will take you at least two months to arrive. ”

"So far?" Fifth Tingyun is still at the conceptual level of Jiuzhou, and does not know the specific geographical details.

"Otherwise, what do you think?" said the emperor, "Yamato's group of people have urgently returned to China this morning, and they are ready to set off immediately after receiving the escort token from the Martial God Temple. Don't be idle, tidy up a bit, and set off in three days. I will have you draw a map of the route and hand it over to you on the day of your departure. ”

In a few words, the emperor had already settled the matter, although it was full of discussion, but in fact there was no half-discussion meaning. Fifth, Tingyun and Sikong Ming bowed down to receive the order, the emperor waved his hand to signal the two to retreat, the two went out of the imperial study, and their father-in-law arranged a vehicle to send the two back to the palace.

Fifth, Tingyun didn't expect Sikong Ming's goods to follow back to the palace, thinking that the emperor and the brothers had already colluded. He cared about Sikong Ming's achievements, and knocked on the side along the way, wanting to investigate, but Sikong Ming was tight-lipped and did not show any tone. Fifth, Tingyun felt bored, so he stopped asking, and returned to the palace, only to find that not only Sikong Ming, but even Chen Shanpour, Su Xiao, Wan Feijian and Zhu Qi also lived in the backyard of the palace.
