When the city protector saw that the birthmark that had plagued him for many days dimmed, he was very happy in his heart, and he hurriedly gave his hand to express his gratitude again: "My subordinates thank you to a few young heroes for rescuing, I am grateful." ”

"Has Prince Yu ever been out of the city today?" asked Yelu Yuanzhong.

"Lord Hui Zhengsi, the housekeeper of the prince's mansion has gone out of the city today, and he is accompanied by Cao Xingrong, the imperial envoy, but about an hour or so, Cao Yucheng made them return to the city. The Protector replied.

"Okay, I got it. Yelu Yuanzhong glanced up at the sky and said, "It's not early, let's hurry into the city." ”

After that, Yelu Yuanzhong got into the carriage, Lu Shaocheng and a few people also hurriedly followed the carriage, a few people hurriedly set off towards the imperial city, about half an hour later, Yelu Yuanzhong signaled the carriage to stop, everyone looked up, a magnificent city wall suddenly appeared in front of everyone, outside the main gate stood four huge stone pillars, under each stone pillar stood a fully armed soldier, the city wall is very tall, there are more than three people high, Lu Shaocheng and several people are the first time to see the palace, they can't help but be a little excited, one by one in private, talk endlessly。

However, Yelu Yuanzhong's expression was not so relaxed, he slowly walked down from the carriage, his hands behind his back, he looked at everyone with a solemn brow and said: "The imperial envoy is in charge of government affairs, and he has always liked to meddle in the government affairs, he must have something to do with the butler of the prince's mansion, if I am not mistaken, he will definitely strongly oppose the transfer of the military power of the three armed forces to you, and no matter so much, when the emperor of Wanjiang in the main hall issues the three military orders, it will be useless to let him have a three-inch tongue." ”

"Your Excellency, what should we do if this Imperial Envoy is strongly opposed to us?" Lu Shaocheng asked.

"Don't worry, there are my disciples in the court, most of them are towards me, even if the imperial envoy is strongly opposed, there will be people who stand up for you, not to mention, you are a disciple of Tianluomen, even if the imperial envoy does not give face to the old man, but he does not dare not give face to Tianluomen. Yelu Yuanzhong said.

At this moment, suddenly there was a thunderstorm in the sky, and suddenly the sky was full of dark clouds, and the black pressure clouds seemed to be pressed down, Lu Shaocheng looked up, there was a faint evil breath in the black clouds, he hurriedly used Tianyantong, but was surprised to find that there was no other abnormality in this cloud except for a bad breath, Lu Shaocheng was quite strange in his heart, and said: "It's really strange, this black cloud comes and goes in a hurry, but there is no object in the clouds." ”

"Maybe someone is manipulating it. Xiang Shaosi said.

"Regardless of whether he is or not, let's wait until I meet the emperor before making a decision. Ding Wugui said as he looked at the black clouds above his head.

"Well, a few young heroes, come with me into the palace. Yelu Yuanzhong didn't want to delay any longer, after the soldiers guarding the gate checked Yelu Yuanzhong's stone talisman into the palace, several people followed Yelu Yuanzhong through several city gates along the road paved with blue bricks all the way to the depths of the palace, on both sides are all kinds of carved beams and paintings, the golden glazed tiles shine dazzlingly in the sun, around the main hall, the ancient trees are towering, the green trees are shady, the red walls and yellow tiles, the gold is brilliant.

Lu Shaocheng and a few people couldn't stop sighing in their hearts, and soon, a large hall with eight red lacquer pillars came into everyone's eyes, and there was a black gold silk nanmu plaque hanging on the top of the red vermilion lacquer gate, and there were three big characters inscribed on it. Kuang Zheng Palace', a few people walked into the Kuang Zheng Palace, only to see that on the golden lacquer carved dragon throne in the hall, there was a king who looked down on the world, he was wearing a splendid dragon robe, to Lu Shaocheng's surprise, they originally thought that the Emperor of Wanjiang must be like a stage stage, an old man with a beard, but they didn't expect that the Emperor of Wanjiang looked like he was in his thirties.

"The old minister Qi played the Emperor, these highness are the disciples recommended by the Elder Ziyin of the Tianluo Gate, and the old minister was ordered by the emperor to bring them to see the emperor. Yelu Yuanzhong stepped forward respectfully, took out a long jade plate and said.

The Emperor of Wanjiang nodded slightly, and after Lu Shaocheng and the others hurriedly and respectfully stepped forward to report to their homes, the Emperor of Wanjiang was quite interested in Lu Shaocheng and the others, he avoided other things and asked directly: "I know that you cultivators have some skills that are too ordinary people, there are people who can change at will, there are people who can call the wind and rain, and there are people who can hide and steal, is this sword flight as simple as a flip palm for you?"

Lu Shaocheng was also a little stunned, he didn't see the Emperor of Wanjiang before he only thought that the Emperor of Wanjiang was a person who was not smiling and had a serious face, but he didn't expect that this Emperor who was high above and held the country was actually a childlike emperor, Lu Shaocheng cleared his throat at the moment and said: "Emperor Qiyu, as decent disciples, we practice magic martial arts in order to hoe the strong and help the weak, punish the evil and promote the good, and the way of eliminating demons and defending the road is what we should do, and flying with the sword is a skill that we must learn." ”

Emperor Wanjiang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, the Secretary of the Imperial Court has already played to me, how many of you can confidently lead the soldiers into battle? If this military command talisman is in your hands, how do you think you should lead the troops into battle? And how to make the three armies obey your orders?"

Lu Shaocheng glanced at a few people, and then said: "Emperor Qiyu, the disciple has also read some military books since he was a child, not to mention that in the past three years, I have been by Elder Ziyin's side, and I have also heard him talk a lot about the strategy of leading the troops to fight, and the disciples have some involvement in the military, although the disciple has never participated in the military, but he knows that as a general, he must first have a strategy, have courage, and lead the troops to fight also needs countermeasures and strategic deployment. ”

"Well, since Elder Purple Seal highly recommends you, you must be exceptional, Imperial Envoy. Emperor Wanjiang looked at Cao Shirong who was standing aside and said.

"The old minister is here. ”

"From now on, notify the military officer Shang Shi and hand over the three military talismans to these young heroes. Emperor Wanjiang commanded.

"Emperor Qi, the old minister has something to say. Cao Shirong was indeed as Yelu Yuanzhong expected.

"What objections does Imperial Envoy Cao have?" asked Emperor Wanjiang.

"Emperor Qi, the old minister thinks that these three young people are young and young, and they don't have any experience in leading troops to fight against the enemy, what a big deal it is to become the commander of the three armies, and it has always been a famous general who won the military assessment, how can the three military orders be easily handed over to these young people who are new to the rivers and lakes, the three military orders are not child's play, and the future of the Hong Dynasty is in their hands, not only the old ministers do not agree, I believe that the ministers of the court and the central government will not agree. Cao Shirong glanced at Lu Shaocheng and the others with contempt, and the ministers beside him also started to play, and they had quite objections to the Wanjiang Emperor handing over the military order to Lu Shaocheng.

"Cao Yucheng, Lu Shaoxia is highly recommended by Elder Ziyin, and I have already seen the skills of these young heroes, I believe they must have this ability to lead the troops to fight, several of them are cultivators, it is not the army of those small border countries that invaded the Hong Dynasty, but the army of the Demon Realm, let me ask Cao Yucheng, if there is no cultivation, how can our soldiers face the army of the Demon World, moreover, two hundred years ago, when the Demon World invaded the Hong Dynasty, Emperor Gu Zhen did not also hand over the three army talismans to the disciples of Tianluomen, the Hong Dynasty has always had this rule, could it be that Cao Yucheng wanted to break the rules set by the first emperorYelu Yuanzhong knows that today's affairs must be impossible to hide, for the sake of the people of the Hong Dynasty, even if he offends Cao Shirong today, he will not be able to take care of many things if he loses his official position in the future.

Cao Shirong smiled, he shook his head, with a look of denial, he slowly walked to Lu Shaocheng and a few people, glanced at a few people, and then said to the Emperor of Wanjiang: " Emperor Qijuan, these teenagers look only seventeen or eighteen years old, they can be said to be incomparable in terms of qualifications, although they are disciples of Tianluomen, but as far as I know, two hundred years ago, Tianluomen appointed three experienced Dharma protector disciples, if the Emperor of Wanjiang must hand over the talisman to them, the old minister would rather return to his hometown now. ”

"This ......" Emperor Wanjiang was also a little embarrassed, he thought for a moment and said: "Cao Yucheng, Elder Ziyin has written to me before, this Lu Shaocheng is the owner of the innate Gang Qi, and the candidate for the commander of the three armies must be him, besides, even if he becomes the commander of the three armies, there will be generals and commanders in the army to assist him, even if they don't understand something, they can also ask other generals for advice at any time, why should you be so extreme?" Since I ascended the throne, Cao Yucheng has always been dedicated to the service of the Hong Dynasty, if I dismiss you and return to your hometown, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military will not blame me for my injustice, as for the matter of returning to the hometown, Cao Yucheng will not mention this matter in the future. ”

"Lao Chen is not a person who relies on the old and sells the old, but the old minister is really not at ease to hand over the military power of the Hong Dynasty to an inexperienced young man, if he can, the old minister suggested that Tianluomen might as well send a Dharma protector disciple with status and status to come, it is better than these few little-known juniors, although the Yelu Zheng Division has seen their skills, it may just be that you have seen less, this does not mean that a few of them will be able to be qualified to be the commander of the three armies, the old minister still implores the emperor to think twice. Cao Shirong still has no intention of compromising.

"I implore the Emperor of Wanjiang to think twice before acting...... the rest of the ministers tried their best to stop it.

"That's good, in order to convince the ministers of the court, I suggest that a few young heroes be given ten days, and if they can solve the Jingliang mystery case within ten days, Lu Shaocheng will be appointed as the commander of the three armies, in charge of the three military orders, and the ministers can no longer have any objections, what is Cao Yucheng's intentions?"

Since the Emperor of Wanjiang said so, Cao Shirong is only afraid that he will anger the emperor if he continues to fight, and although he has met the prince in person, the prince's meaning is relatively neutral, which makes Cao Shirong also a little passive, thinking of this, Cao Shirong had to say: "This is naturally good, in this way, everything is subject to the emperor's will." ”
