The enthusiasm of the guards made Meng Xie a little puzzled, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look over.

At the gate of the noon gate, an old man turned over on the blue-brown cloud-stepping horse.

The body is sturdy, the dragon walks the tiger, although the beard and hair are white, but the old man's face is not angry and arrogant, with a bad aura left over from the battlefield.

From a distance, it's a little scary.

"This is the one-word side by side king of Chu State, Chu Xingbang, others call him an old prince, even Emperor Heng has to perform the gift of his juniors when he sees him. ”

Zhang Ying, who was beside her, found that Meng Xie turned his head, glanced at the old man behind him, and introduced it in a low voice.

"King of the Word Side-by-Side"

Meng Xie repeated these words in a low voice, and suddenly remembered that General Tuoba's master was the king of one word and shoulder to shoulder, could it be the old man in front of him? ?

His pupils contracted, and Meng Xie stared at the old prince, looking at him carefully.

Naturally, it attracted the attention of the old prince.

The old man looked at Meng Xie and the others, a smile appeared on his face, and he strode over.

"Haha, I didn't expect it to be Brother Meng. ”

Hearing this, Mengru turned his head, smiled at the corner of his eyes, and said in surprise: "Old prince! I haven't seen you for ten years, but your body is still so tough." ”

Waving his hand gently, the old prince shook his head and said, "No, old, it's not like you, it's still the same as it was at the beginning." ”

"Lord Wang, it's over. Mengru said modestly.

Lao Wang chuckled, nodded Mengru, and said enviously: "This time the Exile Sect has gained a lot, I heard that there is a young man from Meng Xie who shines brightly, and he actually fought to a draw with Ye Hao, I don't know who it is? Can you help me introduce it." ”

"Okay, I'll introduce you to the prince. As Meng Ru spoke, he pointed to Meng Xie next to him, "This is Meng Xie." ”

Seeing this, Meng Xie hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his head to salute, "I've seen the prince!"

As soon as the words fell, Meng Xie felt that the two gazes roamed around his body, as if they were substance, making his back break out in a lot of cold sweat.

Sneaking a few glances at the old prince, Meng Xie found that this person's eyes were firm and with a kind of wisdom.

Sure enough, the heroes are extraordinary, no wonder they can train a disciple like General Tuoba.

At the same time, a very big question also emerged in Meng Xie's heart,

Since this old prince is General Tuoba's master, why don't you want to save General Tuoba?

He was greatly puzzled in his heart, but Meng Xie did not show these on his face, but pretended to be very well-behaved.

"Okay! Sure enough, the hero is a young man, and it seems that the Exile Sect is going to have one more pride of the sky. ”

did not hesitate to praise, and the old prince's face was overflowing with satisfaction.

Meng Xie immediately bowed down and said a few words in his mouth, "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

"It's not good to be too modest, a man must have momentum, and if you lose, you won't lose the battle!"

The old prince looked at Meng Xie's humble appearance, and patted him on the shoulder freely.

"Since we met, let's go together, I just happen to meet the Emperor too. The old prince smiled and proposed.

Mengru nodded happily in agreement.

The group surrounded Mengru and the old prince in the middle and came to Taihemen.

Passing through the Taihe Gate, it is the Taihe Temple Square.

The layout on it was exactly the same as the palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which made Meng Xie feel amazed in his heart.

The only difference is that on the walls of the Taihe Hall of the Great Zhou Palace, there are all kinds of real dragons carved and many unknown beasts.

But on the palace wall here, all the great achievements of Emperor Heng in the past are carved.

Each of these characters is lifelike, and the emperor said that everything in heaven and earth is omnipotent.

Glancing at the wall paintings with interest, Meng Xie followed Mengru and them up the steps in front of the Taihe Palace.

Climbing dozens of steps of glazed stone steps, Meng Xie and the others came to the Taihe Palace, that is, the door of the Jinluan Palace.

On the left side of the entrance of the temple, there is a bronze bell with a simple shape, which does not have any patterns on it, but hangs there quietly.

And in a conspicuous position above, a plaque reads the three words "meridian bell"

It turns out that this is the meridian clock.

When Meng Xie saw the meridian bell, he naturally remembered the words of Brother Zhao Ming two days ago.

Looking at the four soldiers next to the meridian bell, Meng Xie didn't know what method to use to ring the meridian bell.

I heard that every year the Spring Festival will ring it, and the Emperor will celebrate with the whole world and rejoice with the people. I don't know who behind him muttered a whisper, and the voice was unusually clear in this open space.

Suddenly, the word that walked in front side by side Wang looked sideways at the meridian clock, and the disgust in his eyes flashed, but he happened to be seen by Meng Xie.

Meng Xie stared thoughtfully at the back of the king side by side, and he knew a little in his heart.

At the gate of the Jinluan Palace, there was already an old eunuch who had been waiting here for a long time.

The old eunuch saw Meng Ru and King Yizi side by side, his brows stretched slightly, and he said gently: "Elder Meng, old prince, you are finally here, and I will wait for you." ”

After speaking, the old eunuch took the lead in turning around and entering the Jinluan Palace.

Mengru and the old prince glanced at each other, and the two of them stepped into the hall together with a smile.

Meng Xie followed behind him and also entered the Jinluan Palace.

The interior of this magnificent palace in front of him was completely presented in front of Meng Xie's eyes.

Directly opposite him, in the southernmost part of the hall, there is a dragon chair, golden in color, using the shape of two dragons playing with pearls, and the thick dragon tail is also cleverly made into a pair of armrests.

It can be said that it is ingenious and ingenious.

And on the left and right sides of the hall, there are nine red coiled dragon pillars, taking the meaning of the supreme.

Eighteen coiled dragon pillars support the entire Jinluan Palace.

On each coiled dragon pillar, a real dragon with different postures is carved, vivid, with teeth and claws, so not majestic.

Suddenly, Meng Xie found an interesting place.

The real dragon on each coiling dragon pillar has its head facing the dragon chair in the middle, and it looks from all directions.

Each true dragon is bowing down to the person on the dragon chair.

Let this hall invisibly be filled with a sense of oppression.

On both sides of Meng Xie's standing, hundreds of civil and military officials were divided into two columns, standing left and right.

Seeing Mengru and the old prince coming in, they all stepped forward to say hello.

"Lord Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time, and your health is fine. ”

"Elder Meng, you must come to the banquet in the evening, and you must not miss the appointment again. ”

Of course, these people naturally also saw Meng Xie and Zhang Ying and others.

Some people even recognized Meng Xie at a glance.

But no one greeted them.

In the eyes of these people, no matter how powerful Meng Xie is, he is only a disciple.

In terms of its identity and status, there is no way to compare it with Mengru, and its value is naturally much smaller.

It's normal to be left out in the cold.

Meng Ru and Yizi side by side, Wang smiled and greeted everyone, Meng Xie and the others found a corner place to stand.

After a while, the old eunuch stood at the door of the Jinluan Palace, and shouted loudly with a sharp voice.

"The Emperor has arrived!~~~~"

The civil and military officials cheered, and they all knelt down to greet Emperor Heng.

In the entire Jinluan Palace, only Meng Ru and Yizi King stood side by side, as well as Meng Xie and others, standing out from the crowd.

Needless to say, he is the elder of Emperor Heng, and he has long had the privilege of seeing Emperor Heng and not worshipping.

Mengru and Meng Xie and others belonged to the disciples of the Exile Sect, and they were not under the jurisdiction of Emperor Heng, so naturally they did not need to bow down.

Seeing Emperor Heng slowly walk out from a side door of the Jinluan Palace, walked to the dragon chair, glanced majestically at the civil and military officials below, and said softly.

"Zhong Aiqing, flat. ”

The civil and military officials stood up, and there was silence in the hall, waiting for Emperor Heng to speak.

Sitting on the dragon chair, the emperor put his hands on the armrests, and an imperial momentum arose.

Looking around, he also looked at Mengru and the others in his eyes, and said softly: "I must have heard a little about the gathering of all Aiqing to go to the court today. ”

"This time, in the Young Hero Competition, the Exile Sect won a complete victory, not only winning the third place, but also producing a Tianjiao. ”

"It is a great joy to defeat Duan Yingzhe and Zhuo Yuyu with one enemy and two, and to resist Ye Hao of Feiyun Hall without defeat, and win glory for our Chu State. ”

"Today, I will reward all the young talents who participated in the Young Heroes Competition, so as to demonstrate the strength of our Chu State. ”

After saying this, Emperor Heng lowered his gaze to Meng Xie and the others, and nodded lightly.

Glancing sideways, the old eunuch beside him, Emperor Heng said softly: "Decree!"

The old eunuch nodded, took a step forward, took out the holy decree that had been prepared a long time ago, opened it slowly, and read it.

"Exiled Sect Disciple Mo Yan listens to the order!"

Meng Xie glanced back at one of the disciples behind him with a grim face.

This disciple is Mo Yan, a seven-rank martial artist who cultivates and is calm, and in this competition, he gave advice to Zhang Ying and made a lot of contributions.

Mo Yan took a few steps forward, walked to the center of the Jinluan Palace, and saluted with his fists.

"Mo Yan obeys the order!"

"Nian Moyan performed well in this young hero competition, made great contributions, and gave a high-grade treasure, 30 Ning Yuan Dan, thousands of family food towns, and was named the baron of Yongning County, and was hereditary. ”

The decree was read out, so that the ministers below looked at each other.

I didn't expect Emperor Heng to give such a big reward, a high-grade treasure, thirty Ning Yuan Dan, needless to say, the value of these things.

Thousands of households, barons of Yongning County, hereditary replacement, this reward can make the ministers a little red-eyed.

You must know that they worked hard and conscientiously governed the Chu State.

Unless you make great contributions, you will not be rewarded with such a title.

And the smiling young man in front of them, a person who was not bright in the junior competition, actually got the knighthood, how could they not be surprised.

At the same time, they were looking forward to Meng Xie's reward even more.

The first is that there are so many rewards, so what will Meng Xie give?

Next, the old eunuch read out the reward of another disciple, Chen Yin.

Like this Mo Yan, a high-grade treasure, thirty Ning Yuan Dan, thousands of households, a baron of Tianming County, hereditary replacement.

The ministers of the palace were amazed again.

It seems that Emperor Heng has really made a bloody investment, and he doesn't know what he wants to do.

When it was Zhang Ying's turn, the old eunuch's tone paused slightly, raised his eyelids lightly, glanced at Zhang Ying, and shouted: "Zhang Ying listens to the order!"
