Chang'an, the land is vast and rich, it can be said that it is the capital of a country, the flowers are like a brocade to be seen, and the tall buildings of all sizes are like trees in the forest rising from the ground.

The streets are as dense as cobwebs, and the people passing by are either in a hurry, or at ease, or calm and leisurely...

"Senior Sister Ling'er, where are we going next?" Shan Yue held Zhao Ling's little hand and said leisurely: "You are the host, we are not familiar with Chang'an at all." ”

Zhao Ling thought for a while and said, "It's not too early, I'll take you into the palace." ”

"Wow, I've wanted to see the palace for a long time." Yue Shanyue said happily.

The two chatted selflessly, and Jiang Nian walked behind alone, looking around with interest. Chang'an really deserves to be the capital, such a small street, both sides are full of restaurants and shops.

"Huh?"

At this time, Jiang Nian suddenly felt that someone was looking at him, his heart moved, and the corner of his eye looked in the direction where his gaze came, and what caught Jiang Nian's eyes was a handsome man dressed as a scholar standing on the balcony of a restaurant, shaking a fan, and looking at himself with a smile.

The handsome man smiled and nodded to Jiang Nian. Jiang Nian naturally pulled out a smile and nodded. Then he withdrew his gaze.

The man's gaze was also retracted, and while Jiang Nian breathed a sigh of relief, he guessed in his heart who the person just now was.

Before Jiang Nian could think deeply, Yue Shanyue turned around and shouted, "Master is leaving, we are going to the palace today." ”

"Oh, got it." Jiang Nian replied, threw away the distractions in his heart, and followed.

……

In a palatial restaurant, in a room on the third floor, Zheng Yuanlong was kneeling on the ground, trembling because of fear.

"The eldest prince, my subordinates are incompetent, and I have failed the task you have given." Zheng Yuanlong slammed on the ground and said in a wailing voice.

Syllable!

The fan in the man's hand was sold, put away, and turned his back to Zheng Yuanlong, looking very mysterious.

The man was wearing a white robe, his long hair was tied up, and his voice was magnetic and steady, and he said slowly: "I already know about the matter, and I can't blame you for this matter." ”

"I can only say that our information is wrong, I didn't expect the county lord to go with the Huashan faction, and your opponent is still a master of Dugu Nine Swords. Failure is understandable! ”

"The eldest prince Mingjian!" Zheng Yuanlong said overjoyed.

"Just!" The man's tone changed and he said, "The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, since your mission has failed, you must be punished." ”

"The eldest son!" Zheng Yuanlong exclaimed.

"Someone, take him to the torture chamber!" The man waved his hand.

Brush Brush Brush!

Suddenly, three black shadows rushed out of the dark part of the room, and Zheng Yuanlong was captured in an instant, and these people were all near-first-class martial artists.

"The eldest prince spares his life! Spare your life! ”

Zheng Yuanlong was terrified, and when he thought of the horror of the torture room, his frightened eyes almost popped out.

It's just that the man didn't say anything, waved his hand, and Zheng Yuanlong was immediately knocked unconscious by a man in black and fell to the ground.

Soon, he was dragged out by a man in black.

"You, go and kill all the guards, remember, don't show your feet." The man pointed to another man in black.

"Yes!"

The man in black nodded, brushed it, and disappeared. The other man in black also slowly retreated, blending into the darkness like a shadow.

Syllable!

The man shook his right hand, opened the fan, shook it gently, and muttered: "Huashan has intervened, and this game of chess is getting more and more dangerous." ”

……

"Report...!"

In one of the palace's majestic palaces, a soldier with a broadsword pinned to his waist shouted and rushed in.

"What?"

Because there was a curtain in the way, it was impossible to see the man's appearance, but the voice was very sharp, not like a man's voice, but thicker than a woman's voice.

"The Lord of Lingjiu has come back alive, and he is still accompanied by the daughter of the head of Huashan and the master of Huashan." The soldier knelt on the ground and said respectfully.

"Haha..., it's good, it seems that someone's plan failed, not only that, but he also lost his wife and soldiers, and got into trouble with Huashan!" The man laughed, his voice unusually harsh.

This person didn't laugh a few times, he quickly reined in, and his mood was very well controlled, only to see him flick his hand and say, "Okay, you go down." ”

"Yes! My lord! ”

The soldier nodded, then quickly stepped back.

……

Jiang Nian and the three of them came to the gate of the palace under the leadership of Zhao Ling, this time, the county lord's token played an amazing role, all the way, no one dared to stop it, and it was respectful, so he almost knelt down and licked his shoes.

When Jiang Nian saw this, he deeply understood how good power is, no wonder countless people fought for it.

Along the way, Jiang Nian and the others walked for a long time before they came to the imperial study, which showed how big the palace was, and this time, they were blocked by the eunuchs guarding the door.

"Who are you?" The eunuch asked in his characteristic duck voice.

"What? Grandpa Li, you don't even know me anymore! Zhao Ling's face was serious, his face was cold, and there was a majestic aura.

Gonggong Li took a closer look, and was suddenly shocked, knelt on the ground with a plop, and said tremblingly: "The slave should die, he has eyes and no beads, and he didn't see clearly that it was the county lord who came for a while, and he really deserved to die!" ”

"Okay, get up, the lord of this county forgives you not guilty, you go in quickly and inform the emperor, just say that I am back and want to see him." Zhao Ling waved his hand.

While Gonggong Li breathed a sigh of relief, he quickly got up from the ground and said, "Yes, county lord, I will go and inform the emperor immediately!" ”

After Gonggong Li entered, it didn't take long for him to come out, open the door, and say, "County Lord, the emperor is invited!" ”

"Hmm!"

Zhao Ling nodded, raised his feet and walked in.

Yue Shanyue and Jiang Nian also followed.

"Eh, wait a minute, two, the emperor only said to let the county lord in, but he didn't say to let you go in too." Gonggong Li walked over, and with a sweep of the dust in his hand, he blocked Jiang Nian and Yue Shanyue.

"What do you mean, look down on us!" Yue Shanyue has a big temper.

The reason for developing this character is naturally inevitably related to her life experience.

You must know that Shanyue's father is the head of Huashan, and Huashan is one of the best schools, and she is the daughter of the head, and she can be described as a noble identity in Huashan.

"Grandpa Li, they are my friends, nothing will happen." Zhao Ling said.

"I'm sorry, county lord, I can't agree to this, the emperor's safety is not something that only a small slave can bear." Gonggong Li raised his head and said.

"You...!" Yue Shanyue was so angry that she wanted to take out the token.

However, he was stopped by Zhao Ling, who took Yue Shanyue's hand with his left hand and said, "Since this is the case, forget it, I'll just go in alone." ”

"Senior sister, master, you wait for me outside first, and I will ask the emperor to let you in immediately." Zhao Ling said to Jiang Nian and Yue Shanyue.

"What, my dignified daughter of the head of Huashan, when did you suffer from this anger." Yue Shanyue snorted and said, "But looking at Sister Ling'er's face, I'll forget it." ”

Zhao Ling smiled slightly, nodded to Jiang Nian, and walked in, and then, Gonggong Li closed the door and guarded the door.

Yue Shanyue glared at Gonggong Li viciously, and although Gonggong Li was angry, he was afraid of offending the county lord, so he had to swallow his anger.

"Alright, Yue'er, don't worry about it." Jiang Nian patted Shanyue's fragrant shoulder and said.

Yue Shanyue was not convinced, and said: "Master, if I don't say it, I'll forget it, but you are a peerless master, why should you suffer from the emperor's bird anger." ”

"Moreover, I am also the daughter of the head of Huashan, my status is higher than that enough for the emperor, I don't know how much, more than a thousand years have passed since the time when the court was in power."

"You, you are just arrogant, you have to study hard like your junior sister, this palace is not so simple." Jiang Nian said with a smile.

"What's not simple, if my father comes, the dog emperor will have to kneel!" Yue Shanyue shouted.

Jiang Nian shook his head and stopped talking, Yue Shanyue was right, the current imperial court can only be regarded as a puppet used by the sect to control the world, but because it is a puppet, the palace is full of eyeliner of various sects.

If you really get into trouble, you'll be out of control.

The most important thing is that Jiang Nian is not a peerless master, if he was really a peerless master, with Jiang Nian's character, he would have ousted the emperor from power a long time ago and sat down by himself.

Jiang Nian and Shan Yue said in a loud voice, and although Gonggong Li was close, he didn't hear it.

Soon, it didn't take long for Zhao Ling to come out, walk over, and say, "Master, the emperor said to invite you and senior sister in." ”

"Did you hear that, you stinky eunuch, don't get out of the way of me!" Yue Shanyue shouted.

"Yes, yes, yes...!"

Gonggong Li's face was full of smiles, full of flattery, and quickly stepped aside.

Yue Shanyue walked in proudly, followed by Jiang Nian.
