One day, a large foreign mission came to the imperial city.

Judging by their costumes, they were the envoys of the Daiei Empire.

Since entering the capital, the group has been making noise everywhere, acting in a high-profile manner, spending money like dirt, and being extremely generous, as if they were worried that the people of the Sima Empire would not know that the people of their Darong Empire were rich.

The leader of the mission was a female lord of the Daiei Empire, named Temur.

It is said that this woman is the only daughter of the generalissimo of the Daeung Empire, talented and resourceful, and even the Daeung Emperor is very fond of this woman, and when she became an adult, she was canonized as the lord of Daerong County, and her glory and status are extremely prominent.

After the mission came to the imperial city, it did not go directly to the court to pay homage, but stayed in the city temporarily.

In the beginning, people were just curious about the people of the mission, and even thought that they were like a nouveau riche from the countryside who had never seen the world.

Because during the period of their temporary stay in the city, they often haunted the auction halls of various capitals, the Hundred Treasure Tower, the Refining Pavilion, and other places frequented by cultivators, and collected a large number of things that were not too rare in the eyes of other cultivators at a high price, such as some ordinary martial arts and medicinal herbs.

But then an incident happened that completely detonated the entire rivers and lakes.

Under the leadership of the lord of Temur, the mission came to some of the more famous sects in the imperial city to worship the sect.

Every time they come under the banner of admiration, they are actually going to challenge the heads of those sects.

It's not so much a door as a kick!

Although the cultivation age of the Lord of Temur County was still young and he could only cultivate as a fifth-order martial sect, there were three martial saint powerhouses in his mission.

All the sects that were "admired" by the Darong Mission, their heads received corresponding battle posts, saying: "Learn martial arts from each other and enhance exchanges between the two countries!" ”

But after every "exchange", it ended with the head of the sect seriously injured.

In just ten days, the heads of nine sects were overthrown, although they did not include the top ten clans that had just been sealed, but there were also super factions like the Thousand Illusion Sect and the Five Poison Sect, which were second only to the top ten clans.

This incident quickly caused a stir in the rivers and lakes, and it was a common thing to compete in martial arts, but it was continuously provoked by foreign missions, which really increased the popularity of others and destroyed their own prestige.

When the Sima royal family heard of this, in order to control the situation and continue to ferment, they immediately brought this delegation into the palace.

Three days later, ten hundred-mile urgent holy decrees came out of the palace one after another, and the object of their delivery was none other than the top ten grandmasters of the Sima Empire who had just been sealed.

Qin Ye received the holy decree, and after reading it, he circulated it to Long Xiao, Heshan, and Xu Youlong.

As for the other hall masters of the Tiangang Sect, they had already gone to their respective branches to preside over the overall situation, and they were not on Tiangang Mountain at the moment.

"Sect Master, the Holy Decree asks the Ten Grandmasters to rush to the palace within ten days to face the Holy Saint, it seems that the situation is very urgent! The Daei Empire's mission had just entered the palace a few days ago, could it be related to this matter? Long Xiao guessed.

He Shan grinned and said, "Do you still need to ask?" Nine times out of ten, the emperor wants the top ten grandmasters to enter the palace to support the royal family! ”

Xu Youlong said worriedly: "Sect Master, it is said that a few days ago, the masters of the Darong Mission continued to challenge the heads of the major clans, and none of them were defeated. This time to recruit the top ten grandmasters into the palace, the sect master should beware of the Great Rong Mission! ”

After listening to the words of the three people, Qin Ye said with a smile: "Among the ten great grandmasters, my cultivation is the weakest, and the others are basically among the martial saints. ”

"Even if they really want to find fault, there are those heads of the Infinite Sect, Bodhi Temple and the Goddess Palace, and I am afraid that people will not look down on me, the sect master of the Tiangang Sect!"

His words caused the three of them to laugh, and his heart was indeed like this, and there was no need to worry too much.

Qin Ye said again: "Okay, the three of you will prepare, and you will enter the palace with me when the time comes!" ”

Long Xiao and He Shan nodded, but Xu Youlong said: "Sect Master, the mining of the spirit stone veins in the back mountain has encountered some difficulties recently, and I am working on this matter. ”

"This time to enter the palace, the two deputy sect masters are enough with you, I won't enter the palace with the sect master!"

"And now that all the hall masters are scattered, if we all leave, the headquarters of the Tiangang Sect will be empty."

"In order to prevent the young people from taking advantage of the situation, I should stay and sit in Tiangang Mountain!"

Qin Ye thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he didn't say anything more.

……

Ten days later, Qin Ye, Long Xiao, and Heshan came to the palace as promised.

According to the chief eunuch, Tiangang Sect was the last to arrive.

Qin Ye touched his nose in embarrassment, it seemed that he was the least of the top ten grandmasters who regarded the emperor as the emperor!

Later, I heard from the chief eunuch that the emperor had issued an edict and would hold a banquet tomorrow to entertain the Darong Mission, and the ten great masters would also participate at that time.

Then, under the leadership of the eunuch, Qin Ye and the three of them came to the side courtyard of the palace to settle down, waiting for tomorrow's summons.

The palace was very large, and the top ten grandmasters were arranged in different side courtyards.

At night, Qin Ye felt a little bored, and at the same time he was a little curious about the palace, so he decided to go out for a walk.

However, due to the supervision of the palace guards, there are many places in the palace that are not allowed to wander around, and only a few imperial gardens are places where the emperor has allowed the ten grandmasters to enter and exit.

Qin Ye put on a silver mask, walked out of the bedroom, and went for a walk in a nearby imperial garden.

The flowers here are abundant, competing with each other, and they are extremely well cultivated.

Qin Ye is not a person who knows how to appreciate flowers, but when he comes here, he can't help but feel relaxed and happy, and his heart is worthy of the palace, and such a scene is definitely not seen outside the palace.

Just as he was enjoying the night while admiring the flowers, the sound of a rope footsteps came to the side of the Imperial Garden.

After a while, I heard a eunuch shouting: "The queen has arrived!" ”

Then, I saw a beautiful woman dressed in a colorful phoenix xia dress, surrounded by a kind of eunuch and palace maid, and entered the imperial garden.

When Qin Ye heard the words "Queen Mother", his heart tightened inexplicably, and when he saw that the person who came was the eldest grandson Mingyue, he regretted that he came out at night.

The eldest grandson Mingyue seemed to be looking for him on purpose, but she left and right and walked straight over.

"It's rare that Sect Master Qin has Yaxing, and the flowers in the palace can enter the eyes of the law?"

The eldest grandson Mingyue bypassed Qin Ye and came to a place only two meters away from him to stand still, and said leisurely while making a gesture of admiring the flowers.

Qin Ye coughed dryly twice, and said respectfully: "In the next person who doesn't understand elegance, it's just a casual look!" ”

The eldest grandson Mingyue covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Sect Master Qin has great ambitions, so he naturally looks down on these mundane things. It's just that I don't know where Sect Master Qin's ambition is? ”

Qin Ye said casually: "In the next heart of cultivation, there is nothing else to think about." ”

The eldest grandson Mingyue paced two steps, and said: "But the world is so big, it is not the king's land; The soldiers who lead the soil are not the king's ministers! ”

"Even if Sect Master Qin is obsessed with martial arts, it is better to stand in line as soon as possible!"

Qin Ye heard the song and knew the meaning of the elegant, it turned out that this queen mother was here to greet him tonight, and she wanted to take this opportunity to bind Tiangang Sect to the prince's faction.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the eldest grandson Mingyue continued: "It is rumored that Wu'er Sima? Turbidity Advice Locust Shuo Lang Salty Dry Sword? Chuang Yue Song dispels the cylinder and plots Zhangou?? Hungry and lacking in Yi? Kip Removal Jar Syllable? Stirring up the mirror? You Lu is handsome

Qin Ye explained: "I have promised the crown prince that the Tiangang Sect will not form an alliance with any faction!" ”

Eldest Sun Mingyue nodded, as if she had heard about this matter for a long time.

Suddenly, she stepped forward and sniffed Qin Ye's neck with her nose like a kitten, which frightened Qin Ye to subconsciously jump out.

"You feel familiar to Hongu, can you take off your mask and let Hongu take a look?"

Qin Ye's eyelids jumped, and when he saw the eldest grandson Mingyue who was close at hand, her dignified appearance and delicate face made people can't help but avoid their gaze.

He kept his composure and said: "Niangniang is too careful, and she looks ugly below, I'm afraid that I will startle Niangniang!" ”

"If you don't have anything else to do, go back and rest first!"

After speaking, Qin Ye hugged the eldest grandson Mingyue and walked towards the outside of the imperial garden.

Eldest Sun Mingyue looked at Qin Ye's back as he left, and always felt that he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember anything.

After all, the other party was the top ten grandmasters of the empire who had just been canonized, and it was not good to force him to take off his mask reluctantly, and the doubts in the heart of the eldest grandson Mingyue had to stop there.

……

At noon the next day, the royal family held a banquet and invited the Darong delegation and the ten great masters of the empire to the banquet.

Qin Ye and the three of them followed the eunuch to the banquet hall and saw that the layout inside was very exquisite.

Directly in front of the banquet hall are the seats of the emperor, the empress, and the three imperial concubines.

Below it, two rows of seats are set up head-on.

There are twelve tables on the left, which are the seats of the royal family and the ten great masters.

There are also 12 tables on the right, all for delegates of the mission.

Tiangangzong's seat is on the last table on the left, which is three meters long, just enough for three or four people.

Qin Ye looked at the people from other clans, basically there were three or four people coming, and none of the sect leaders came to the banquet alone.

After about a quarter of an hour, everyone arrived.

Seeing Emperor Sima Wuzhi again, his face was even more devastated than last time, and the dead air lingered around him, so to speak, he was a person half buried in the loess.

If it weren't for his Martial Saint Cultivator to suppress his death qi, I'm afraid he would have already been buried in the ground, where could he still sit on the dragon chair and meet foreign missions?

The queen and the princess sat down one after another, looking elegant and sitting upright.

However, Qin Ye clearly felt two hostile gazes coming towards him from time to time from the eyes of the two imperial concubines, Bai Fengqing and Yu Wenhuan.

On the left-hand side below, Prince Sima? Humble mail? Leek? (7) Leek? (7) 韭淼で砭leisure浯巍

After that, there were the people of the Wuliang Sect, the Bodhi Temple, the Goddess Palace, the Wuyang Palace, the Tianshui Pavilion, the Nanshan Sect, the Xuanming Sect and the Tiangang Sect.

Due to the special situation of the eldest grandson family and the Baili family among the ten major clans, the king of Xijun and the king of Beijun wanted to guard the pass, so they were not invited to come over this time.
