Huang Laoxie is really a peerless genius, and he may have long expected that one day outsiders will come to forcibly occupy Peach Blossom Island.

He had already laid many firearms in ambush on the ground.

He guessed that the enemy must not be able to enter the peach forest, so he chose to use fire to burn all the peach trees.

Last time, Zhuang Jian caught him and threatened him to succeed.

Otherwise, Zhuang Jian may also be hit.

Feilong and the others didn't know what to do, and immediately used a fire attack, causing the firearm to be ignited and the sound of an explosion rumbling and flying.

In order to protect Peach Blossom Island, King Jinlun chose to die together, which is indeed quite admirable, but he himself was blown to pieces.

The next situation is beyond the dragon's grasp.

I didn't think that this place would turn into a sea of fire.

No matter how strong his kung fu is, he has no choice but to evacuate now.

This is especially true of others, who dare not stay here any longer.

There is no way for everyone but to run away.

Escaping all the way back to the ship, everyone was a little relieved, looking at the Peach Blossom Island that had been burned, the mood was extremely low, but Feilong had no intention of choosing to leave, he wanted to wait for Zhuang Jian and the others to return by this matter, and then take him down in one fell swoop, this is the smartest way.

"Spread the news all over the world immediately, and I want Zhuang Jian to know about it as soon as possible."

His choice can be described as quite bold, the blue-eyed fox feels that he should be a little calm, and the stability of the army's heart is talking, but the flying dragon thinks that the soldier is fast. Can't wait any longer.

If someone else finds out in advance that they are looking for the situation, they will still be in trouble, so why bother.

At this time, Zhuang Jian really didn't know that so much trouble had happened, he accepted Prime Minister Zhang's invitation, and came to the Prime Minister's Mansion today, he deliberately changed into gorgeous clothes to get today, which must be the most important day, the situation was exactly the same as he thought, when he saw Prime Minister Zhang, he found that his expression was extremely pleasant.

"Come in, let's eat and talk."

Prime Minister Zhang warmly held Zhuang Jian's hand, not knowing what the reason was.

But Zhuang Jianneng felt as if something was not quite right, why was he so enthusiastic about himself.

With uneasiness, Zhuang Jian and Prime Minister Zhang Cheng sat on the chair together, Zhang Cheng smiled at him and said, "Brother, you have to thank me for this matter, not only did I help you win the opportunity, but the emperor also summoned you, and it depends on your own performance at that time."

Zhuang Jian was suddenly shocked, the emperor actually chose to see and prove this matter, it was really feasible.

"Big brother, the emperor actually wants to see me, then thank you very much."

Zhuang Jian hurriedly picked up the wine glass and drank with him.

"This time, when the emperor sees you, he will inevitably be crowned an official and knighted, the opportunity is in front of you, you must grasp it well, this is the best opportunity for you to break away from the identity of the Jianghu people."

"You have to remember that there is no way out of fighting, killing and killing, and changing your identity is your best means."

Zhuang Jian felt that this seemed a little inappropriate, because he was a person in the rivers and lakes and the leader of the Jianghu Alliance, why would he say such a thing to himself, did Prime Minister Zhang have ulterior motives?

Of course, Zhuang Jian showed a puzzled expression.

"Big brother, you should know who I am."

"Isn't it good to be reckless? You have to be powerful."

"How many more years do you think Jianghu will have a sustainable opportunity? You should think about your own future, and as your brother, I have to think about it."

Prime Minister Zhang Cheng said this, as if he was really thinking about Zhuang Jian.

But Zhuang Jian still didn't express much will.

Instead, he smiled and said, "Maybe it's because I'm not very competitive, but I actually like my current life very much."

"Not everyone on the rivers and lakes is a villain, there are also many people who are righteous, such as my brother Xiao Feng, he is one of the representatives, I have experienced life and death with him, many hardships, we treat each other with all sincerity, and have never been separated, so the rivers and lakes still have a lot of fun for me."

Prime Minister Zhang laughed.

"I especially appreciate characters like you

Because I know what I'm doing, and of course I have to respect your choice."

"But who can say for sure what the future holds, right? Drinking."

Zhuang Jian didn't speak again, because he didn't figure out what Zhang Cheng meant, but he didn't ask any more.

After all, his ideas have always been different from others.

Two days later, Zhuang Jian was already ready to enter the palace.

Because there was no one else to accompany him, Zhuang Jian was a little nervous, thinking that it was a great benefit to be able to meet the emperor.

Zhuang Jian came to the Imperial City for the first time and looked at everything around him, and he couldn't help but show emotion, and his expression was no different from the legend.

Everywhere there were patrolling guards, each armed with a sharp blade.

has big shoulders and a round waist, and at first glance he is a person who practices martial arts.

The strength should also be very strong.

If you don't guess wrong, the level should be about the same as Huang Rong.

These guards, of course, are carefully selected.

It is the so-called Ouchi master.

"When you see the emperor, don't speak loudly, you must be extremely respectful, dare to be disrespectful, and your head will fall to the ground!"

Prime Minister Zhang Cheng, who was by his side, reminded Zhuang Jian carefully.

Of course, Zhuang Jian also understood this, and nodded hurriedly.

and Zhang Chengxiang came all the way to the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, where the emperor was waiting.

We didn't meet informally today, so the location we chose was very warm, not to make Zhuang Jian ugly or have anything important.

With a feeling of apprehension, Zhuang Jian finally came here.

Prime Minister Zhang Cheng first went to see the emperor and explained the matter, and later someone went to find Zhuang Jian, and finally walked into the palace of nourishing the heart.

This was the first time Zhuang Jian had come to such a formal occasion, and he was a little panicked in his heart, not knowing what would happen, and he didn't dare to raise his head and stand quietly aside, this was the first time he felt a kind of majesty and pressure.

"See you soon."

Prime Minister Zhang hurriedly reminded Zhuang Jian to kneel, even if he was a little unwilling, Zhuang Jian had no choice but to kneel there and say long live.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction and asked Zhuang Jian to get up and see him, it was only when Zhuang Jian saw the emperor's true face, and he couldn't imagine that he was so young.

"I thought that the leader of the Jianghu Alliance was a big man, who has such a young city wall, it seems that the rivers and lakes are really interesting."

The emperor's words made Zhuang Jian a little puzzled, why it was interesting.

But he didn't dare to ask too many questions, and hurriedly saluted the emperor and said, "It's just a thought to do this position."

Zhang Chengxiang was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Zhuang Jian to naturally say that he was no different from the people in the rivers and lakes, and he couldn't help frowning, but the emperor thought it was very interesting, and didn't care, and smiled and asked Zhuang Jian to sit down.

"Aiqing, as the leader of the Jianghu Alliance, doesn't know what plans for the rivers and lakes are."

The emperor's words made Zhuang Jian a little overwhelmed.

"There is no plan, I just hope that the peace of the world can contribute to the imperial court, I have led people to fight against foreign enemies many times, fortunately I can succeed, otherwise these guys will drive straight in and trample on my great rivers and mountains."

Zhuang Jian was not lying, of course, he also knew the tools he had made, and the emperor nodded with satisfaction.

"I have heard a little about what you have done, and I am very grateful to you for leading the world's heroes to defend Xiangyang and defeat Lindo, these are your achievements."

"But I also want to warn you, don't be complacent, there are many people who are young heroes like you, who end up unable to control themselves and end up doing evil things."

The emperor's words are obvious.

Beat Zhuang Jian, don't think of yourself as high, dare to think of wrongdoing.

Zhuang Jian hurriedly said: "Of course the minister does not dare, everything must be arranged by the emperor, you are my heaven, no matter what happens, you are in charge, let the minister live, the minister will not dare to die, let the minister die, and the minister will not dare to live."

Zhang Chengxiang couldn't help but nod with satisfaction when he heard Zhuang Jian's words, thinking that this kid was really smarter, so he pretended to be obedient in front of the emperor, which was better than anything, no matter how much temper the people in the rivers and lakes had, but

If you dare to act mischiefly in front of the emperor, you will inevitably suffer a catastrophe.

No matter how much skill he has, it is useless to be able to do this, which proves that he is really a person who can see the situation clearly and not act recklessly, which is enough for him to be trusted.

"Haha, that's a good point."

Sure enough, the emperor praised him again and again, it was very good to hand over the rivers and lakes to Zhuang Jian, and he also trusted him, hoping that Zhuang Jian would continue to work hard in the future.

said a lot of polite words, and finally returned to the most critical issue, the ban on martial arts.

"I heard that you have defeated the biggest demon in the rivers and lakes, and I hope to lift the ban on martial arts in the rivers and lakes this time, is it true?"

"Don't dare to hide it, the minister does have this intention."

Zhuang Jian knew that when he finally came to the key point, of course, he could not relax, and there could be no hesitation, which was the primary purpose of his coming here.

"If I choose to take back my will, it will be good for the rivers and lakes, but it will be for the loss of my majesty, I wonder how you plan to balance the two?"

The emperor did not hesitate at all, and immediately expressed his worries.

Zhuang Jian never thought about this matter, because of his status, where could he participate in so many things.

looked at Prime Minister Zhang and found that he didn't have anything to say.

I don't know why the emperor chose to talk to Zhuang Jian.

Now that the emperor has asked a question, Zhuang Jian must give an answer.

Whether it's true or not.

"Your Majesty, I really don't know how to answer this matter, but I believe that the lifting of the ban will be very beneficial to the prosperity of the rivers and lakes, and everyone will sincerely praise the emperor for his kindness."

"Not only that, but if another enemy appears, we can also stand up and help fight it."

Obviously, the emperor didn't seem to be too satisfied with this answer.

"Do you mean that without the Jianghu people, my soldiers would not be able to resist foreign enemies?"

Zhuang Jian was stunned for a moment, and didn't know what to say, Zhang Cheng Xiangdao also reflected quickly, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, he definitely doesn't mean this, of course, the more soldiers and generals who can stand up to resist the enemy, the better, no matter what the force is, as long as it is beneficial to us, isn't it?"

The emperor smiled.

"It was you who asked me to give the order at the beginning, and now you have changed your words, how much benefit did you receive from Zhuang Jian?"

Prime Minister Zhang was a little surprised.

I don't know why I said this to my own face.

It's humiliating.

As the prime minister, he was actually suspected of accepting the benefits of Zhuang Jian.

How can he mix this up if he wants to spread it, he frowned suddenly, but he didn't dare to say more, and stood quietly aside.

hurriedly said that he didn't receive anything, it was all for the emperor's sake.

Zhuang Jian watched the two of them play, and was a little suspicious in his heart, saying that Prime Minister Zhang Cheng was the biggest favorite of the emperor.

When I saw it today, it seemed a little different.

After all, he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

"Don't be so nervous, I just make a little joke to lighten the mood."

Zhuang Jian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Since you want to lift the ban on martial arts, it's okay, but I still have something for you to do, and if you can complete it, it will be a reward."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"Wanyan Honglie is my confidant, they are located outside the fortress, they are always harassing the border, you will solve this matter, help me get his head back."

Zhuang Jian was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't think of letting himself go to war.

He was a little reluctant.

But the opportunity is in front of you and you can't refuse it.

"Since the emperor trusts me so much, I will eradicate Yan Honglie!"

Prime Minister Zhang Cheng secretly calculated.

What the heroes can't accomplish, can Zhuang Jian do.....
