This old man who suddenly appeared in the Golden Palace was none other than Emperor Yanchong's old friend, the dean of the Holy Soul Academy, and the old man of Qiu Ming. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The four people who followed behind the old man Qiu Ming were the deans of the four branches of the Holy Soul Academy, the white-bearded old man of the Dao Feng Immortal Bone was Qu Feng, the dean of the Qinglong Academy, the slightly shorter black-faced old man was Fu Li, the dean of the White Tiger Academy, Zhao Yun, the dean of the Vermilion Bird Academy, and the bald man who looked like an iron tower was Lei Tian, the dean of the Xuanwu Academy!

Today, the old man Qiu Ming actually appeared in the Jinling Imperial City at the same time with the four deans of the Holy Soul Academy, which is a strange thing that has not been encountered in many years.

Most of the ministers in the court had heard of the old man Qiu Ming's name, but there were few people who had actually seen him, so when they heard Yan Chong shouting the title of "Brother Qiu Ming", almost all the courtiers' eyes couldn't help but tremble slightly, and then they cast extremely curious glances at the old man Qiu Ming one after another.

But when they saw that the legendary-level powerhouse standing in the hall was just a frail and thin old man, and he was less than five feet tall, and his appearance was even worse, with small eyes, rosacea nose and a mouthful of uneven beige rotten teeth, his dry old face was covered with deep wrinkles, and his hair and beard were also sparse and there were not a few left, this 'peculiar' image suddenly broke the illusion of the old man Qiu in the hearts of the ministers, not to mention, and it was really a little flattering.

Such a bad old man can be seen almost all over the streets of Jinling City, there is nothing special at all, although all the ministers understand the truth in their hearts that "people should not look good", but when the old man Qiu Ming stood in front of them, their hearts still couldn't help but beat a drum.

The old man Qiu Ming didn't seem to care about the different eyes of the ministers, but just smiled to himself and greeted the emperor Yan Chong: "Your Majesty, I hope the old man is not too late for me to come!"

"It's not too late, it's not too late, when did your Qiu Ming brother be late for the emperor's affairs?" Yan Chong seemed to be extremely familiar with Qiu Ming, and he couldn't hear the slightest hint of the emperor's shelf when he spoke, just like two old friends who had known each other for many years, cordial and natural, "Hurry up, come up and sit!" Saying that, the emperor turned his body slightly sideways, giving up half of the huge throne to the old man Qiu Ming.

"Your Majesty, this group of ministers' courtesy, the old man can not dare to trespass!" The old man Qiu Ming smiled and waved his hand, "It's good for the old man to stand below!"

"Someone, why don't you move a chair for Dean Qiu Ming!" Yan Zheng suddenly flashed a gleam in his eyes when he saw the old man Qiu Ming, and then hurriedly gave an order to the internal official next to him.

"Old man has seen King Shengxi! I have seen ......" Before the old man Qiu Ming saluted Yan Zheng and Yan Hao one after another, he was startled by Yan Hao, who was paralyzed on the ground, and then asked with a wry smile, "King Shengnan, what's wrong?"

"Oh, nothing to do!" Yan Hao hurriedly stood up with the support of the ministers around him, and smiled awkwardly while patting the dust on his body, "People are old, and they are easy to faint when they stand for a long time!

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay! Then this chair should be sat by King Shengnan!" said the old man Qiu Ming, and then flicked his sleeves lightly, only to see that the bronze dragon and phoenix chair that had just been lifted up by the four internal officials with great effort actually flew in front of Yan Hao as lightly as catkins, and landed right in front of Yan Hao impartially, and the copper chair was very light when it landed, and it didn't even make the slightest sound. Just by waving his hand, it was enough to surprise the ministers in the palace.

"Brother Qiu Ming, don't talk about that, now that the Holy Domain is in an emergency, do you already know?" Yan Chong asked with a slight frown, "If you don't come again, this emperor will die in a hurry!"

"Your Majesty, don't panic! Everything is already known!" "Old Man Qiu Ming chuckled indifferently, "The Holy North King led an army of 200,000 to defeat the Northern County, and Lan Shixun waved an army of 300,000 straight to the Jinling Imperial City. Internal and external troubles, the old decay already knows!"

"Yes!" Yan Chong nodded worriedly and said, "This emperor has been sick in bed for several months, so many things have happened, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that it will not be long before the Holy Domain will change hands!"

"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much about the Mandate of Heaven!" said the old man Qiu Ming with a calm smile, "If Heaven wants to let him die, he must first let him go crazy." This is the destiny of heaven, Lan Shixun has a rebellious heart, not a whim, he has been painstakingly planning for an unknown number of years, so today's disaster is not planted today, but has been planted a long time ago!"

The calm and calmness that flowed from the old man Qiu Ming restored the calm in the Golden Palace, which was originally panicked, and the worried hearts of the ministers seemed to have become stable again because of the words of the old man Qiu Ming.

"At present, what should the emperor do?" Yan Chong asked bluntly, "Now that the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty have lost their backbone, they have been frightened in the face of Lan Shixun's 300,000 troops coming to the city, and now the emperor can only listen to you!"

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, can you see everything clearly?" The old man Qiu Ming suddenly changed his words, and he asked such a sentence inexplicably.

Being asked by the old man Qiu Ming, Emperor Yan Chong couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but as if he quickly figured out something, a touch of shrewdness suddenly flashed in his originally cloudy eyes, and then under the blank faces of the ministers, Yan Chong nodded inexplicably.

Yan Chong's move immediately attracted Yan Zheng's attention, and he had been staring at Yan Chong's gaze, but he also followed Yan Chong's nod and suddenly flashed a look of shock. Yan Zheng was so smart, just through the words of Yan Chong and Qiu Ming, he quickly realized a very important thing, that is, between the two of them, Yan Chong and Qiu Ming, there must be some shocking secret hidden by no one else.

Even Yan Zheng and Yan Hao didn't know about this matter, which shows how much the Emperor Yan Chong trusts the old man Qiu Ming!

"Okay!" Seeing that Emperor Yan Chong nodded, the old man Qiu Ming suddenly laughed heartily, "It's good to see clearly! If you see clearly, it won't be in vain Your Majesty's serious illness in the past few months!"

"Ahem......" Yan Chong couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard Qiu Ming's words, he waved his hand again and again, and said, "I can see it clearly, but this emperor's body is really not angry, otherwise how could he watch Lan Shixun, a traitor, get bigger and bigger?"

"The old man has just said that Lan Shixun's fate is like this, even if His Majesty does not suddenly fall ill, Lan Shixun will become bigger!" Old Man Qiu Ming chuckled, "The so-called 'do your best to obey the destiny of heaven' is this truth, if everything can go according to people's expectations, then Your Majesty will no longer be Your Majesty, and Lan Shixun will no longer be Lan Shixun!"

"Haha......" The words of the old man Qiu immediately caused a burst of laughter from the leading emperor Yan Chong.

The ministers in the palace looked at the Emperor Ling and the old man Qiu who were smiling at each other, but one by one they could only stare at each other with a confused expression, because they couldn't understand what the conversation between the two of them meant. And among the ministers, the most anxious one is Yan Zheng, the thing he hates the most is that everything is not under his control, he thinks that he has seen through the overall situation, but he doesn't think that he will still become a person in the game in the end.

"In fact, what the emperor didn't expect the most was that Lan Shixun would collude with Dongfang Su, the two of them one is a jackal and the other is a tiger and a leopard, now that the emperor is sitting in Jinling City, they can still share the same hatred, but once the emperor's power falls, it will be time for the two of them to kill each other! I have trusted Lan Shixun so much for so many years, even if he indirectly killed Han Xiao's 50,000 troops in the Xie Ziying camp back then, this emperor can turn a blind eye to the past, I thought that I could use this to influence him, but I didn't think that this white-eyed wolf didn't know how to be grateful at all!"

The reason why the emperor knew that Lan Shixun killed Xie Ziying was precisely because when Lu Yifan and they went to Wenyang City, the third master of the Xie family, 'Xie Zhen', told them. Originally, Lu Yifan and they promised not to tell the matter, but later Lu Yifan was besieged and killed by Lou Zong, and Han Ling'er and Ji Yuan, who were lucky enough to escape back to Jinling City, still told Han Xiao all this, and then Han Xiao told the emperor Yan Chong as soon as possible, hoping that Yan Chong could severely punish Lan Shixun, but at that time, the emperor rejected Han Xiao's request on the grounds that the old things were not worth believing. Although Yan Chong refused to punish Lan Shixun, in order to give Han Xiao an explanation, and also to test Lan Shixun's loyalty, the Emperor Yan Chong sent Lan Shixun to the southwest to kill Lou Zong, and one of the purposes of the Emperor at that time was to let Lan Shixun prove that he was not the same as Xuanzong and Dongfang Su, because everyone in the world knew that Dongfang Su was the co-master of all the sects in the Holy Domain, and Lan Shixun's extermination of Lou Zong was tantamount to cutting off Dongfang Su's arm, which was actually equivalent to making a feud with Dongfang Su. In the heart of the emperor at that time, as long as Lan Shixun could not be used by Dongfang Su, then he could be reused by himself, after all, Lan Shixun's cultural and martial arts could be called a genius in the world, not to mention that the emperor also wanted to use Lan Shixun to contain Han Xiao's power. But the emperor never thought that Lan Shixun had clearly killed Lou Zong at that time, and he was clearly in a vendetta with Dongfang Su, so why could he still get together now?

Linghuang Yanchong made a lot of calculations, but in the end, he still miscalculated!

"Lan Shixun is cunning in nature, it would be good if Your Majesty could see his personality clearly through this matter!" said the old man Qiu Ming nodded with a chuckle.

"Alas!" At this point, Emperor Yan Chong couldn't help but sigh lightly, "This emperor has not only seen Lan Shixun clearly, but also seen more people clearly!" Saying that, his eyes glanced at Yan Hao coldly, and this glance almost made Yan Hao slip off the chair in fright, "But so what? Although he can see it clearly now, he also raises tigers, facing Lan Shixun now, this emperor now has the intention to kill the enemy, but he is powerless to return to the sky!"

"Your Majesty's strength alone may indeed be powerless to return to the sky, but why doesn't Your Majesty want to borrow strength?" the old man Qiu Ming's words changed, and at the same time, a smug light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Borrowing strength?" Yan Chong couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard this, "Whose strength is borrowed?" Could it be true that as the legend says, when the Emperor encounters difficulties, he has to borrow strength from the Sect Master?" Speaking of this, Yan Chong couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Dongfang Su can't wait for the emperor's early death every day, how can he help me?"

"Of course the old man is not talking about Dongfang Su!" the old man Qiu Ming smiled mysteriously, and then deliberately lowered his voice a little under the curious gaze of everyone, "I'm talking about someone else!"

"Who?" the Emperor asked eagerly.

"Your Majesty, have you ever heard that there is a Xihuang Mountain in the southwest?" the old man Qiu Ming deliberately circled. And as soon as he said this, Yan Zheng's gaze changed suddenly.

"I've heard of it!" Ling Huang Yan Chong nodded nonchalantly, "So what?"

"Then Your Majesty knows that there is a great person in the Xihuang Mountain now!" Old Man Qiu Ming continued, "This person not only has a huge amount of strength enough to lend to His Majesty, but also has countless amounts of gold, silver, grain and grass, so if you can get this person's help, Your Majesty will naturally be able to do things like a tiger!"

"There is such a character?" Yan Chong was obviously also intrigued by Old Man Qiu's words, "Who is he?"

"The current master of Xihuang Mountain has expanded his disciples from more than 1,000 to more than 10,000 in just four or five months, and the sect master of the Soul Sect ......" Old Man Qiu couldn't help but pause slightly for a moment when he said this, and then under the extremely curious gaze of the Emperor, Fang Cai chuckled and said, "Lu Yifan!"

"Lu Yifan?"

"Shhh

As soon as the old man Qiu Ming said this name, the emperor suddenly exclaimed, and the ministers in the court gasped one after another. Because the name of the Manchu Dynasty minister is really familiar, because at the beginning of the year, Lu Yifan had turned Jinling City upside down, this name has long been thunderous in Jinling City, and he is still on the list of prisoners of the emperor, who will not know?

"Lu Yifan is actually in Xihuang Mountain?" Linghuang Yanchong said with a look of surprise, "and...... He also founded a soul sect of more than 10,000 people......"

"What's the matter? Lu Yifan has made a name for himself in the southwest in the past few months, hasn't His Majesty heard of it at all?" The old man Qiu Ming looked at Yan Chong with a blank face in surprise.

I saw Yan Chong slowly shake his head, and then he turned his gaze straight to Yan Zheng and Yan Hao, and asked in a gloomy tone, "Do you know about this?"

"We ......" Yan Zheng and Yan Hao were also speechless for a while, and the emperor didn't even need to ask, just looking at the appearance of these two people, it was already clear in their hearts that they must know about this matter.

"What a big guts!" Yan Chong was furious and shouted loudly, "Lu Yifan, as a prisoner of this emperor, you dare not report it! There are also the city lords of the Fourteen Cities in the southwest, don't these group of wine bags and rice bags know that Lu Yifan is a repeat offender appointed by this emperor?"

"Your Majesty is angry!" Yan Zheng fell to his knees with a 'poof', and said to the Emperor with righteous indignation, "Your Majesty has been sick in bed for the past few months, and there are some things that we never dare to tell you......! In fact, the fourteen cities in the southwest...... It's long been out of the control of the court!"

"What?" As soon as Yan Zheng said this, Emperor Yan Chongru was slapped on the head, and the whole person instantly became a little trance-like, "Could it be that the fourteen cities in the southwest are also ......."

"That's right! The Fourteen Cities in the Southwest have indeed fallen into the hands of the sect!" Before Yan Zheng finished speaking, Old Man Qiu Ming took the lead in saying, "Before Lu Yifan founded the Soul Sect, the sect that controlled the Fourteen Cities in the Southwest was called Huangzong!"

"This emperor has just eradicated a Lou Zong, and in less than two years, another emperor has emerged, this is ......" Emperor Yan Chong was also a little speechless with anger, only to see him glaring at the front with a pale face, and said through gritted teeth, "Is there still this emperor in the eyes of these people!"

"Your Majesty, the matter of eradicating the Lou Sect will cure the symptoms but not the root cause!" Old Man Qiu Ming continued, "The root of the curse of the Holy Domain lies in Lan Shixun and Dongfang Su, if the two of them are not eliminated, it will be difficult for the Holy Domain to maintain long-term stability!"

"Except! must be removed!" Yan Chong said word by word, "It's just that my royal family has a grudge against Lu Yifan, and now that he founded the Soul Sect, hasn't he already taken refuge in Dongfang Su?"

"I don't think so!" Old Man Qiu Ming said lightly, "It is said that five months ago, the founding sect of the Soul Sect set up a heaven and earth banquet in the Xihuang Mountain, and Lu Yifan sent out more than a thousand invitations, but he failed to invite half a person!"

"Why?" Yan Chong raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.

"Because Lu Yifan offended the Emperor Sect before, and then he was restrained by Dongfang Su!" Old Man Qiu Ming continued, "Xuanzong released his words, no one is allowed to have anything to do with the Soul Sect, otherwise they will be regarded as the great enemy of Xuanzong! The so-called enemy of the enemy is our friend, not to mention that now Lu Yifan's subordinates have many masters, and there are countless gold and silver, and more importantly, your henchman Lu Haoqian is Lu Yifan's father, I think as long as Your Majesty can release the past suspicion with Lu Yifan and get the full help of the Soul Sect, I think the danger of the Holy Domain will be just around the corner!"

"I don't understand!" Yan Zheng suddenly said, "Even if Lu Yifan is willing to help us, then we only have more than 10,000 horses, how can we compete with Lan Shixun's 300,000 army?"

"King Saint Xi, just because there are many people doesn't mean we will win!" the old man smiled mysteriously, "And how can you be so sure that we don't have the rest of the soldiers and horses?"

"What do you mean......

"Okay!" Without waiting for Yan Zheng to continue asking, Emperor Yan Chong suddenly waved his hand, and then said loudly, "Qiu's name is reasonable, now that the Holy Land is in danger, it is indeed time for the Emperor to beg him Lu Yifan once!"

"Now that Lan Shixun is coming towards Jinling City, in order to prevent accidents, Your Majesty had better avoid its edge for the time being, go all the way south to Xihuang Mountain, and go to the Soul Sect to ask Lu Yifan for help!"

"Do you want this emperor to give up Jinling City?" Yan Chong asked with some concern.

"If you continue to stay here, you will be able to sit still!" the old man nodded and said, "What's more, the key to relieving the danger of the Holy Realm now is not in Jinling, but in the southwest! If you don't give up, the old man is willing to sit in Jinling City for Your Majesty before His Majesty returns from asking for help, and let these four deans of my academy protect Your Majesty all the way south!"

"If Qiu Ming is willing to sit in Jinling City for this emperor, then what else is the emperor not worried about?" The leading emperor Yan Chong no longer hesitated at all, and happily agreed, which also shows how convinced Yan Chong is of Qiu Ming, "Okay, this emperor will immediately set off for the southwest land, this emperor promises you, when the flowers bloom in the spring next year, we will bring people back, and then we will defeat this group of chaotic ministers and thieves in one fell swoop!"

"Your Majesty, I would like to go with you......"

"No need!" Without waiting for Yan Zheng to open his mouth to ask for his life, the Emperor Ling refused categorically, "This trip only requires a few attendants and the four masters of the Holy Soul Academy, and it is easy to attract the attention of others if there are many people! This time the Emperor is going to run for his life, do you think he is going to visit the mountains and rivers?"

"Yes......" Yan Zheng could only reluctantly agree under the reprimand of the emperor.

"This is going to the southwest, Your Majesty is careful all the way!" Old Man Qiu Ming nodded, "I don't know when Your Majesty plans to leave?"

"Without further ado, the emperor will leave for the south at noon today!"
