"Master!" After hearing Ling Zixuan's voice, the Ninth Princess jumped up from her chair excitedly and walked quickly to the door to greet the figure that they had been looking forward to for a long time.

"Zixuan, you're back!" Ling Buregret also took Ling Zixuan's hand excitedly.

"Sect Master Ling!" The third prince also respectfully saluted Ling Zixuan, and then gave up his seat to him.

As soon as Ling Zixuan sat down, the Ninth Princess had already served hot tea, her face full of joy.

"I've heard your conversation just now, and the only one who can solve the current predicament is your father. As long as he returns as emperor, all problems can be solved. Ling Zixuan looked at the Ninth Princess and said with a smile.

"But my father is now..." The ninth princess actually wanted to rescue her father all along, but she was forced by her master's order, so she didn't dare to act privately. Except for the third prince, he didn't dare to tell anyone, including Ling Buregret, who didn't know that Zhao Wenkai was currently imprisoned in the cold palace.

"I have rescued your father from the hands of the national teacher, but he is too seriously injured, and he has been squeezed of spiritual power for a long time, so it will take time to recover."

Ling Zixuan saw the anxious performance of the third prince and the ninth princess, and briefly introduced Zhao Wenkai's situation to the three of them. Several people finally breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and excitedly rushed to the cold palace to greet the holy driver.

In the Taihe Hall of the Liyang Palace, the crown prince Zhao Renzhang was in a routine morning court with his ministers, listening to a group of officials tell him about the wars in various places, and he shook his head again and again listlessly.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, according to the report of Lin Shanhai, the general of the defenders of the Vast Cliff, the number of the rebels of the King of Lin'an has increased to 120,000, and now the Vast Cliff is besieged on three sides. Although there is the support of Tianlan Sect and the Fengxiao Battalion and the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, but after all, the situation is grim, according to this view, if there is no reinforcement support, it will be a matter of time before the Cliff City is breached, and please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to make a decision and send troops to reinforce! Jiang Tiefeng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, held the fold to the eunuch on the side.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the Xiongnu army has begun to transport a large number of siege weapons and grain and grass to the three cities of Guhe, Yinchuan and Langya, and the 200,000 Xiongnu army has also begun to move south gradually to exert pressure, and it is estimated that it will start attacking Yanbei City in the next two days. According to the report of General Li Gongming of the Beiping Army, the grain and grass to support Yanbei City have not yet been delivered. It is understood that the grain and grass have been seized by the Ministry of War and have not yet been issued, so please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to punish the Ministry of War! Taifu Wei Changqing said.

"Grain and grass have not been approved, so why delay this statement?" Jiang Tiefeng, the secretary of the military department, said angrily. "How could all the front-line food and military departments be seized for no reason, it's not that the formalities have not yet arrived at our military department!"

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the war between the Nanban and the Wu Clan is also tense! After the soldiers were injured by the insect infestation, they were infected with wind and cold in large numbers, and now less than half of the troops can continue to fight, and I ask His Highness to send the Tai Hospital to support immediately. Just as the Taifu and the military department were anxious about each other, another old minister also complained to the prince about the problem of the southern front.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...

The crown prince Zhao Renzhang looked at a group of court officials in the palace, constantly asking questions, but no one gave a solution. And they pass the buck to each other, unwilling to take responsibility, and the more they listen, the more confused their minds become.

Thinking of the current predicament of the Liyang Dynasty, he was actually attacked from the east, south, and north, and his head buzzed, and he only felt that he was about to faint in this court, and he had no time to decide anything.

These days, the national teacher is not around, and no one helps him to advise and make decisions, which makes him completely understand his incompetence. Even when I got up this morning, I wanted to find an excuse to be sick and not come to the court.

"National teacher, when will you be able to come back!" Zhao Renzhang was still looking forward to the national teacher at this time, and he would not have achieved anything without the national teacher.

Looking at the chaos in the hall, he just wanted the eunuchs around him to announce their retirement. I saw that the ninth princess and the third prince walked into the Taihe Hall quickly at this moment.

When the prince saw that the two of them came to the court so late, he was dissatisfied, thinking that he had gotten up so early and hastily rushed to the court with breakfast.

The two of you are fine, so you just slept until the sun dried your buttocks, and then pretended to come over, your face instantly became ugly, and you said sternly, "Yuting, Renhe, why did you two come to the court so late, don't you know that the country is in danger now?" As a prince and princess, don't you know how to share state affairs for the palace? Doing nothing all day, wandering around. ”

The ninth princess and the third prince glanced at the prince's elder brother, but did not salute as usual, let alone have any explanation.

"Why are you so rude, and you don't bow when you see this palace?"

When the prince saw that the two of them had forgotten to salute, his face suddenly became ugly, and he was furious and shouted at the two.

The Ninth Princess and the Third Prince still ignored him, and at the same time, the two turned around, bowed down to the main gate of the Taihe Palace, and shouted loudly: "Welcome to the Holy Driver!" ”

The ninth princess is already at the peak of the Qi cultivation realm, she specially released her spiritual power, and the words "Greeting the Holy Driver" resounded throughout the entire Taihe Palace, echoing in the ears of every official in the Taihe Palace, like a thunderclap sounding in everyone's minds, and the panic could not be calmed down for a long time.

In an instant, the chaotic Taihe Hall became unusually quiet, and everyone looked at the Ninth Princess and the Third Prince with a surprised expression, and then turned to look outside the Taihe Hall in the direction of their gaze.

At this time, the Taihe Hall was shining by the sun, and I saw that under the reflection of the golden light, a man wearing a helmet decorated with silver tassels, wearing a golden dragon robe, and wearing a delicate gold mask on his face, walked into the Taihe Hall with steady steps.

Under everyone's attention, he slowly walked to the huge dragon chair in the hall. Even the eunuch was stunned, and he didn't have the courage to step forward to stop the man from approaching.

The man in the dragon robe looked at the prince coldly, stretched out his hand and slowly took off the golden mask on his face.

Everyone saw that His Royal Highness the Prince's face was like a cramp, trembling constantly, both eyes widened out of their sockets, and they looked at the person in front of them incredulously, and then the whole person went weak and collapsed on the dragon chair.

How is it possible, didn't the national teacher say that his father cultivated immortals and entered the Tao, retreated and cultivated, and no longer paid attention to mundane matters. How could he suddenly appear in the Taihe Hall and become such a terrifying appearance?

"Did the prince's brother forget even the basic etiquette when he saw his father?" The ninth princess said coldly to the crown prince Zhao Renzhang at this time, and returned the prince's scolding to her and the third prince just now.

The person who walked into the Taihe Hall wearing a golden dragon robe was, of course, the current saint Zhao Wenkai, who was rescued by Ling Zixuan. As his eyes were gouged out, the base of his tongue was severed. Although Ling Zixuan's Xiao Huan Dan recovered some of his strength, the gouged out eyes and severed tongue really couldn't fully recover, so he scared his son into scaring and paralyzed on the dragon chair.

Fortunately, he has recovered to the Jindan realm, so even if he can't see with his eyes, he can still feel the environment through his divine sense.

Facing his father with such a terrible face, the crown prince was of course frightened, but after all, it was his father, so the first time Zhao Renzhang saw Zhao Wenkai, he knew that it was really his father who had returned.

He stretched out his weak hands, supported the armrests of the dragon chair, stood up with difficulty, saluted Zhao Wenkai respectfully, and said with a trembling mouth, "Son, bow to welcome the emperor's holy drive!" ”
