At this time, Xia Sheng didn't know that just when he decided to concentrate on cultivation and improve his realm, the real world outside the Jinyuan Secret Realm had already undergone earth-shaking changes.

The Spring and Autumn Academy suffered the biggest crisis in the hundreds of years since its establishment, and it was even more serious than the barbarian invasion at the beginning, when the high priest Yan forced himself to break into Buju Mountain.

Many branches of the Qin family were surrounded and suppressed by unknown forces overnight, and Qin Yan, as the real ruler of the Shantang now, was exhausted every day, so busy that she had no time to take care of anything else for the time being.

The Thorn Army only stayed in the Honghuagang outside Luoyang City for less than two days, and then they started again, heading towards the southern Xinjiang, the cold wind and snow gently brushed Ye Shuai's cold face, which made people feel infinitely embarrassed.

In such a situation, Emperor Jin suddenly decided to hold a ceremony to worship the heavens in Changbai Mountain two days later, which caught people off guard.

Those officials who have really been in the court for many years have smelled a trace of unusualness.

Of course, the process of this time is mainly responsible for the Ministry of Rites, but even the Ministry of Rites does not understand why His Majesty chose the location of the Heaven Sacrifice in Changbai Mountain.

In the past 500 years of the history of the Dajin Dynasty, no, it is not the first time that the ceremony of worshipping the heavens has been held during the nearly 200 years when Emperor Jin ascended the throne and held the seal.

The most recent one was one hundred and twenty-eight years ago, after the Chengtianmen Incident, Emperor Jin held a grand ceremony to worship the heavens on Hongming Mountain in order to pray for the blessings of those soldiers who died in the war.

It was at that ceremony that Emperor Jin announced a new era name, as well as a series of major decree changes.

For example, the officials of the former crown prince Zhao Rui were all dismissed, the imperial examination system was reinstated, all anti-kings were completely cut down, and the town **** officially stepped onto the stage of history, led by the only grandfather of today's Dajin Dynasty, Xu Qiuran, and sat in Quanzhou, where Luoyang, Kyoto, is located.

Therefore, for the ordinary people in the secular world, the ceremony may be a rare event in a hundred years, but for the people in the government and the opposition, it seems to be a cold man.

No one knew why Emperor Jin had suddenly held a ceremony to worship the heavens, and what kind of decision he would announce at the ceremony, but everyone felt the palpitating calm before the storm.

Compared with Hongming Mountain, where the previous ceremonies were held, the location of Changbai Mountain is obviously closer to Nanchuan and farther from the capital, but in terms of geographical location, it is closer to the center of the entire Dajin Dynasty.

This may also be the only reason why Emperor Jin chose Changbai Mountain for this ceremony.

But the problem is that there is no natural danger around Changbai Mountain, and it is not as terrifying as Hongming Mountain, and once it encounters the slightest accident, His Majesty the Emperor who is trapped on the top of the mountain will be unable to escape!

A few months ago, the tragedy of the alien attack and killing of the teachers and students of the Spring and Autumn Academy is still vivid!

What's even more puzzling is that the emperor and his old man are so enthusiastic that they have traveled thousands of miles to Changbai Mountain to worship the sky, so what should I do in Luoyang, Kyoto?

The most ideal situation is, of course, that the crown prince Zhao Hao will temporarily supervise the country, but the advice of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu was refuted by Emperor Jin.

Even, this time when he went to Changbai Mountain, Emperor Jin did not bring the prince with him, but instead brought the two sons of the king of the grassland, Nalan Yuan and Nalan Zhuo.

The Nine Emperor Princes, Zhao Chen, also did not appear in the list of entourage, but continued to stay in the Imperial Palace to practice.

In general, the various arrangements made by Emperor Jin for this sacrifice to the sky are like a layer of clouds in front of people's eyes, which is unpredictable.

But other than that, everything else is still the same, and not much has changed.

For example, the person in charge of the emperor's security is still the person in the adjudication department, and this time even Xu Guogong has requisitioned an elite unit of the Zhenguo Army to follow along the way, and Cai Quan, the commander of the forbidden army, is not far from Emperor Jin's body around the clock.

Of course, none of these arrangements was enough to ensure that the foreign tribes would not take advantage of this opportunity to attack Emperor Jin.

Therefore, what really reassured the ministers of the court was actually the two carriages that guarded Emperor Jinluan.

In these two unpretentious-looking carriages, two people sat in.

Even the head of the Adjudication Division, Qin Nian, was not qualified to sit inside.

Because in a way, these two people are even more terrifying than the entire adjudication division.

It is also more reliable than the three forces of the Adjudication Division, the Zhenguo Army, and the Forbidden Army combined.

One of them is the ancestor of the Qin family, Qin Xiaohua who is holding a black jade short staff!

It is worth mentioning that the current Qin family is actually in the same situation as the Spring and Autumn Academy, and after Chinese New Year's Eve, the news that Qin Yan officially became the only heir of the Shantang has been announced to the world, but it is followed by the Qin family's branches in various states at the same time by unknown forces and encirclement.

The first to appear in turmoil was the Jiangzhou Branch, which was attacked by a demon python that could transform into a human form, and the Qin family's guests, worshippers, and shopkeepers were almost wiped out.

After that, the branches of Bianzhou, Huizhou, Liangzhou and Qingzhou were also captured, but this time it was man-made, although none of the forces stood up to take responsibility for this matter, but the high-level of the Qin family knew that this must be a means that Hetang had been planning for a long time!

Fortunately, the Qin family has a deep foundation, and it is the best in the world in terms of wealth and connections, so after a short period of chaos, it quickly regained its foothold, and the battlefield between it and Hetang also shifted from real swords and guns to commercial fighting.

Under such circumstances, Qin Xiaohua did not sit in the Kyoto main hall, but followed Emperor Jin to Changbai Mountain to worship the sky, which not only showed his incomparable trust in Qin Yan, but also showed his loyalty to the sun and the moon.

Or from another point of view, Qin Xiaohua has never taken Hetang in his eyes at all.

After all, he is a Holy Order!

Since last year's battle of the Qin family, Qin Xiaohua effortlessly killed Wei Zhiyuan, the great treasurer of Shantang, and everyone in the world was guessing that Qin Xiaohua should have entered that awe-inspiring divine realm.

Namely, the Holy Order!

But that was just speculation after all, Qin Xiaohua had never really admitted this matter, and he had never fought against a saint-level powerhouse after that, so no one dared to be 100% sure whether Qin Xiaohua was a saint-level or not.

So there was a second person with him.

This man is a little fat, with a big belly, kind eyebrows, and always a kind smile on his face, and he looks like an ordinary rich man, even to a low-status groom.

Judging from his face alone, he looked much younger than Qin Xiaohua, and he was only forty years old, so when he got into the super-large carriage that was customized for him, many people looked at each other and were full of doubts.

Because almost no one knew who he was, let alone the big round face with a big smile.

But if his name is mentioned, I am afraid that everyone in this world knows it, and no one knows it.

No one is unavoidably prostrategic.

Especially for the academicians, teachers, and students of the Heavenly Star Academy who were responsible for the peripheral security in this heavenly sacrifice ceremony.

Because his name is Yang Tianxiao.
