In Beiyuan, the second elder came to Long Ao and said, "Island master, I have found out, tonight's auction list, during which the eldest prince and the second prince of Qi Kingdom, as well as the third princess said by the island owner, will also be present." The Second Elder handed a list to Long Ao.

Long Ao took the list and said: "Don't call me the island master in the future, now we are all the black ice platform of Great Qin, you should call me the commander in the future, and you elders should also change their titles, they are deputy commanders, since they are already people from Great Qin, and they are under the establishment of His Majesty the Emperor, then they should be called by official titles." ”

The second elder nodded yes and said, "Hehe, I can't change it for a while, and the commander is the envoy." ”

Long Ao nodded and said: "Pay attention next time, His Majesty the Emperor is majestic and strategic, and he is the incarnation of the five-clawed golden dragon, in the future, our Black Ice Platform will rely on the protection of His Majesty the Emperor. Becoming an immortal and becoming a god is also unknowable. ”

Speaking of this, the second elder suddenly said excitedly: "Hehe, I didn't expect it, I thought we would all become captives and be caught mining or something, but I didn't expect Your Majesty to actually take us in, it's really impermanent, and there is a chance to become an immortal, it's really..."

Long Ao said: "Yes, this is the opportunity given to us by God, and it is also the opportunity given to us by Your Majesty, so no matter what, we must complete all the tasks assigned by Your Majesty, and we must not let Your Majesty down." ”

The second elder bowed down and said, "My subordinates understand, please rest assured." ”

Long Ao said: "By the way, are the Great Elder and the Third Elder unable to send the task?" ”

The second elder said: "Your Excellency, rest assured, the Great Elder and the Third Elder and I have accepted the changes since the adults came down to form the Black Ice Platform, and now the eyes of the Black Ice Platform have spread to all the major towns and capitals in the entire land of Shenzhou, and it is extending downward, I don't expect that in a few years, my Black Ice Platform will definitely spread all over the entire Shenzhou." ”

Long Ao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, the progress is not bad, tell the Great Elder, don't be stingy with money, as long as it is beneficial to the Black Ice Platform and good for my Great Qin, let it go." ”

The second elder nodded yes.

Then Long Ao looked at the list and asked, "Is there anything else that needs to be paid attention to besides the royal family?" ”

The second elder nodded and said: "Yes, there are three people who need special attention, one of them is Cang Songkui of the Cangling faction, this person is the father-in-law of the second prince of Qi State, a master in the late stage of Qi training, this person has superb swordsmanship, and it may take the action of the great elder to solve it, of course, it is not worth mentioning for adults, and the second is that the leader of the Huai Thorn Gang will also be present for the blood killing, as if it is for a ginseng, this person is mysterious and abnormal, and his strength is even more unpredictable, I and the other two elders guess that his strength should have reached the early stage of the realm of returning gods, But the specifics haven't been found yet. ”

Hearing that the bloody killing of the Huai Thorn Gang would also be there, Long Ao frowned and said: "This person should not have any impact on His Majesty's plan, but this person's strength should not be underestimated, so just pay attention to it, and must not conflict with it, Your Majesty will never think of us as an extraneous branch, so let the people below pay attention." ”

The second elder nodded and said, "I know, I'll let the people below be careful." ”

Long Ao nodded and said, "Who else is there in the end?" ”

The second elder said: "Finally, Deng Ai, the guardian of the royal family of Qi State, this person's strength is not trivial, he has reached the middle stage of returning to the gods, he is a loose cultivator, and does not belong to any sect, when the first monarch of the Qi State had rescued him, and then he has been guarding the Qi country after achieving the realm of returning the gods, and it is rumored that he has reached the middle stage of returning the gods, and he is also inextricably linked with the royal family of the Qi country, which must be the biggest obstacle to His Majesty's trip." ”

A hint of coldness flashed in Long Ao's eyes and said, "Even if it's a threat, then eradicate it as soon as possible, can you find out his residence?" ”

The second elder said: "It has been found out, he has been living in the Heart Cultivation Building of the Palace of Qi State, and in recent years, I heard that he has accepted the third princess as an apprentice, and sometimes he will teach the third princess in the princess's mansion." ”

Long Ao was slightly stunned and said, "Third princess?" This may be a bit troublesome, forget it, how to solve it, I still have to ask Your Majesty. ”

The First Emperor was interested in the three princesses of Qi Kingdom, but Long Ao knew, this greatly embarrassed him, how to solve this Deng Ai, and he had to ask the First Emperor for advice.

Long Ao looked at the list again and nodded, "Okay, you go down first, I'll go back to Your Majesty." ”

The second elder bowed down and said, "It's my lord, my subordinates will retire first." ”

After the second elder left, Long Ao came to the First Emperor's side and bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the list of this auction is here, please take a look at it." ”

The First Emperor nodded, took the list and looked at it, among them, the three princes and princesses of the Qi royal family were registered, and the First Emperor also noticed the three people mentioned by the second elder, and the First Emperor frowned and said: "Well, these three people, this Cang Songkui is harmless, it is just a late stage of Qi training, even if it is strong, it is limited, then it doesn't matter if it is in this blood killing, it just came to participate in the auction, as for this Deng Ai, can you find out his residence?" ”

Long Ao replied: "It has been investigated, he usually lives in the palace of Qi State, but sometimes he will go out to the princess's mansion to teach the three princesses of Qi State, Your Majesty, for this person, the minister thinks that it is better to solve it as soon as possible, which can cause instability within Qi State, and can weaken the power of the royal family of Qi State, which will play a vital role in His Majesty's next disturbance of Qi State, but this person is the master of the third princess, which... The subordinates were a little embarrassed. ”

The First Emperor sneered slightly and said, "What? Do you think that if I am interested in the third princess of the Qi Kingdom, I will take into account her feelings? I will tell you right now that I am the emperor of Great Qin and the lord of the world, do you think I will ignore the interests of Great Qin for the sake of a woman? What I want is the civil strife in Qi, what I want is the land of Qi, and the woman will never be able to compare with the interests of my Great Qin, you remember this clearly. ”

Long Ao hurriedly said: "Subordinates keep in mind Your Majesty's teachings, and the minister will kill this Deng Ai on the road tonight, for Your Majesty, to remove this stumbling block for Great Qin." ”

The First Emperor nodded and said, "Well, when he leaves the princess's mansion and intercepts him on the way back to the palace, it will arouse some of the things I want to see." ”

Long Ao was slightly stunned, puzzled in his heart, but as a minister, he still knew what to ask and what not to ask, the more curious he was about His Majesty's decision, the more unfavorable it was to himself, he just had to watch.

Long Ao bowed down and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”

The First Emperor nodded, and then asked, "Don't you be curious, why do I want you to stop you halfway back to the palace?" ”

Long Ao replied: "The minister is curious, but the minister doesn't need to ask, the minister just needs to complete His Majesty's instructions, and the next development minister can understand just by looking at it." ”

The First Emperor was slightly stunned and then smiled, looking at Long Ao's eyes full of appreciation and praise, smart people are worry-free, and they don't need to work hard by themselves.

The First Emperor smiled: "Hehe, you are smart, don't worry, you will see, go down and prepare to participate in the auction, I will also see, there are some things needed." ”

Long Ao bowed and left, and the First Emperor looked at Long Ao's back with satisfaction, and was very satisfied with the decision to accept Long Ao at that time.

It didn't take long for Xiao Er to come to the front of the garden to inform the news that the auction was about to start, and the first emperor took Long Ao and Qin Wen to the front building to participate in the auction.

Coming to the elegant room at noon, the first emperor saw that the whole Renyun inn was brightly lit, crowded with people, and a host was giving a speech on the stage in the middle at this time, the first emperor was not interested in this, so he turned his head to look at the elegant room of the third princess, at this time, in addition to the maid named Ya'er at noon, there was also a middle-aged man beside the third princess.

The First Emperor said to Long Ao beside him: "Presumably this person is Deng Ai, the guest secretary of Qi State, right?" ”

Without waiting for Long Ao to answer, Qin Wen on the side said: "That's right, that person is Deng Ai, the guardian of the Qi Kingdom, I saw him when I was young, the cultivator is really amazing, I was only nine years old when I met him, and now twenty years have passed, I didn't expect him to be like this, the cultivator really can't use ordinary people to spend it, time seems to have stopped on him." ”

The First Emperor smiled slightly and said, "I didn't expect Qin Wen that you also know him, yes, you are the son of Qin Xiang, it is not surprising to have seen him." ”

The first emperor also saw the eldest prince, the eldest prince was followed by an old man, this old man's eyes were like torches, and he was upright, the first emperor could see at a glance that this person was not very human, but a cultivator, and his strength was not low, and he should have the realm of the early stage of returning to God.

The First Emperor said to Long Ao: "Who is the old man next to the Great Prince of Qi Kingdom? ”

Long Ao looked at the old man beside the eldest prince and frowned, and said: "I didn't expect him to come too, Your Majesty, this person is the palace master of the first school palace of Qi State, the head of the Confucian family, Kong Ling, a heroic and righteous spirit has reached the gods, although he has his own early stage, but compared to me, he is no different." ”

A trace of jealousy flashed in Long Ao's eyes, but it was by no means fear, the First Emperor saw that his expression was different, and asked curiously, "You know this person?" ”

Long Ao replied: "I have met a few times, I have fought twice, and I don't know whether I win or lose, but this person is here and with the prince of Qi State, so I really don't know what happened." ”

The First Emperor shook his head when he heard this, and said, "It's okay, as long as he doesn't hinder my plans, if he wants to get along with me, then don't blame me for being ruthless." In the early days of returning to God, in my eyes, it was nothing. ”

Then the first emperor looked at the second prince and Cang Songkui beside him, the first emperor soon lost interest, although Cang Songkui's strength is okay, but it can't enter the eyes of the first emperor, and its sword is so powerful that it also has to be human, for the first emperor, a zombie and dragon who are good at the flesh, the sword can't be broken, and it can't be killed, as far as chicken ribs are concerned.

The First Emperor finally looked at a separate room, and when the First Emperor looked at it, the man also happened to look at the First Emperor, and the two looked at each other with horror in their eyes, and both sides were frightened by each other.
