No one expected that after Zade left the dense forest through the spatial crack, only a quarter of an hour apart, a black-robed figure quietly appeared where the spatial crack opened, and what was even more surprising was that this black-robed figure seemed to be not afraid of the black qi around him at all, and there was spiritual power escaping from his gestures.

"Looks like it's supposed to be here. The black-robed figure looked thoughtfully at the calm space in front of him, then frowned, looked at the surrounding black qi with some disgust, and his left hand swayed slightly, and then the black qi of the entire dense forest seemed to be pulled by some kind of force, and went straight into the left hand of the black-robed figure.

It wasn't until the black qi of the entire dense forest completely disappeared that the black-robed figure retracted his left hand with satisfaction, and then stretched out his right hand forward, only to see that with the sweep of the black-robed figure's right hand, the incomparably calm space suddenly began to shake, and then, a spatial crack that was enough to accommodate three people to pass through at the same time appeared in front of the black-robed figure.

This time, the old man finally caught up!"

Looking at the spatial crack in front of him, the black-robed figure sneered, and then stepped into the spatial crack and disappeared into this dense forest.

Imperial capital Taishifu

It has been three days since the end of the deliberations in the Tianji Palace, and in the Taishi Mansion, Wang Zizhan, the patriarch of the Wang family, Xue Li, the head of the Xue family, Yan Qiang, the eastern commander, and Han Leng, the southern commander, are sitting in the hall boringly, with a slightly anxious expression, but above the hall, the main seat that originally belonged to the Taishi Sima De is empty.

"Uncle Xu, where is the old lady, it's not a way for me to wait here all the time!" Xue Li suddenly stood up and asked the old man standing on the side of the hall, the old man is the housekeeper of the Taishi Mansion and has been following the Taishi Sima De for decades, so all the people who come to the Taishi Mansion will call Xu Bo to show their respect for the Taishi Sima De.

"The master said, let you just wait here, if you are impatient to wait, you can go first. Uncle Xu slowly opened his eyes, looked at the people in the hall indifferently, and replied without being salty or light.

"Hey, I said you're ......" Xue Li, who was already hot-tempered, was about to have a seizure on the spot, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wang Zizhan.

"Okay, shut up, Xue Li!"

Wang Zizhan said coldly, and at the same time bowed to Xu Bo apologetically, and then continued to sit in his seat and wait, as the helmsman of the Wang family headed by the three major families in the imperial capital, Wang Zizhan knew very well that the old man in front of him, who seemed to have no cultivation, was actually the most terrifying person in the Taishi Mansion except for Taishi Sima De.

Not to mention that his strength is enough to establish a high-level sect in the outside world, and more importantly, he has followed Taishi Sima De for forty years, and he can be said to be the person that Taishi Sima De really trusts, and now everyone is in the same boat, so Wang Zizhan will never let Xue Li's brain draw a crack in everyone's eyes.

Xue Li was about to have a seizure when he heard this, but when he saw that the person who spoke was Wang Zizhan, he calmed down immediately, and then looked at the attitudes of the rest of the people in the room, then took a deep breath, bowed his hand to Xu Boluo, and sat back in his original position.

In fact, in the imperial capital, many people look down on Xue Li and the Xue family, thinking that they are just a nouveau riche family, and they are only lucky to get to where they are now, but in fact, Xue Li's many brainless and rough sides are just superficial, just like this time Xue Li Although Xue Li does not know the true strength and meaning of Xu Bo this time, but from the look of others present who are watching the show, Xue Li has made the most correct choice.

In the imperial capital, no family can reach the point of being one of the three major families by relying on the nouveau riche alone, this is known to the Taishi Sima De, and Wang Zizhan also knows.

"The master has gone to visit the national teacher!" As if to appease the minds of everyone in the hall, Uncle Xu hesitated for a moment and said lightly.

"National teacher?"

"No wonder!"

The dismayed chatter was only a momentary sound, and then silence returned. The national teacher, this position that has been set up since the establishment of the Great Yan Dynasty, has a special status far beyond what people think, but what makes everyone wonder is that for thousands of years, the national teachers of all dynasties have not been involved in the dispute between the princes, how could the Taishi Sima De suddenly visit the national teacher? Or is it at this critical moment?

The imperial capital is located in the east, Taishi Sima De frowned and looked at the plaque engraved with the three words of the National Teacher's Mansion in front of him, it is said that the first thing every national teacher does after taking office is to re-depict this plaque with his own blood, but after looking at it for so long, Sima De has never seen any doorway, but the Haoran righteousness in his body has a faint sense of fear at the moment he touches this plaque.

"I hope the old man is too worried, if the national teacher also participates in the dispute for the prince this time, things will become even more troublesome. Sima De said to himself, and at the same time, his face was already a little unhappy, he was a veteran of the Three Dynasties, even if he was a national teacher, he would not dare to hang it outside the mansion for half an hour like now!

At the same time, in the National Teacher's Mansion, in a pavilion facing the lake, two white figures were enjoying the lake view in the pavilion, and outside the pavilion, a small servant was respectfully waiting for orders.

"Taishi Sima De, what is this old fox doing in the National Teacher's Mansion?" the girl in the moon-white dress wondered, it was Xueyue, the personal maid of the National Teacher who had appeared in the Tianji Palace.

"Sister, can you see it? No matter how you say that the status of this old fox is not ordinary, if you don't see it, it may bring some trouble to your sister. Xue Yue thought for a moment, turned her gaze to the pure white palace woman beside her, and asked with some concern.

"Nope. ”

A clear voice came out of the woman's mouth, and when she heard this, she subconsciously looked up and wanted to see the woman's face clearly, but she found that no matter how she looked at it, her complexion was blurry, and she couldn't see the woman's face clearly, so she hurriedly went to the door of the house to reply.

"Sister, this Yanhuang is really getting more and more presumptuous, just now he dared to stare at his sister directly! Do you want Xiaoxue to take action to get rid of this person?" Xue Yue looked at the departing figure of the little girl with dissatisfaction, and said complaining.

"Don't forget our purpose in the imperial capital, don't always think about these messy things!" said the pure white palace woman helplessly, her delicate face was covered by a white veil, and this was the reason why the little maid couldn't see the real face of the palace woman before.

"Got it, sister. Xue Yue playfully stuck out her tongue, and then asked with some confusion: "But sister, if you can't say it directly, won't it be good, I think those people are not saying anything about being unwell or not being there when they encounter this situation?"

"It's okay, even if Emperor Yan comes, I won't see it, what is the Grand Master?" said the woman in palace clothes calmly, as if what had just happened was nothing more than a small thing.

"Also, my sister just helped them calculate the specific time of the arrival of the great world, what else do they want? If they cross the river and tear down the bridge, it will be too ugly!" Xue Yue said as if she didn't understand, obviously thinking that her words were to the point.

The palace woman smiled helplessly, did not open her mouth to explain, just looked at the smooth mirror-like lake, a wisp of breeze blew, faintly lifted the palace woman's veil, revealing the delicate face under the veil, what kind of appearance is this, it can be said that it has really reached the point of perfection, the eyebrows are slender, the eyes are bright and bright, at first glance it is slightly charming, and then it looks extremely dignified, making people can't believe their eyes.

If Lin Liang was here, he would definitely find that the face of the woman in the palace costume was incomparably similar to the face of the middle-aged beauty in the depths of his memory. The veil was lifted by the breeze, but the woman in the palace costume didn't care, her eyes stared straight at the lake, not knowing what she was thinking.

Outside the National Teacher's Mansion, Taishi Sima De asked the little man who returned to the door with a gloomy face, "Are you sure that the National Teacher said that he can't see the old man?"

"Nonsense, my master said it, no!" the little guy said with a big grin, not taking Sima De seriously at all.

"Okay!good!good!The old man remembered!" Being humiliated like this by a small guy, Rao is Taishi Sima De's qi cultivation kung fu is far beyond ordinary people, and he was also a little depressed at the moment, and returned to the carriage, and said angrily: "Go home!"

Sima De, who returned to the carriage, instantly calmed down, frowned and said to himself: "I'm afraid this matter is a little troublesome." ”

In fact, the angry expression outside the carriage just now was just pretending to be seen by others, at the level of him and the national teacher, no matter where he went, there would always be a lot of eyes staring at him, and the most important thing was that the words passed back from the little guy were missing.

Sima De knew very well that the other party knew very well his intentions, but he didn't even invite him in, even if it was just a polite and polite gesture, so there was only one possibility left, that is, the other party was also involved in the battle for the prince, and the prince he chose was not the same as the prince he chose!

"You've been waiting for a long time. ”

A slightly old voice came from outside the hall, but it was Taishi Sima De who returned to the mansion and greeted everyone who had been waiting here for a long time.

Seeing that the Taishi Sima De was back, everyone didn't even dare to say goodbye, so they got up to greet each other.

After the greetings, there were already maids offering spiritual tea, but everyone put down the tea cup in their hands and stared directly at Sima De, the Taishi sitting in the hall.

"The old man knows what you want to ask, so that's why I'm gathering you here today. Taishi Sima De took a sip of spiritual tea indifferently, and said in a low voice: "But the old man still has bad news to tell you first." ”
