The second floor of the Metropolitan Division, early in the morning.

"Linglu?" Gray Rose on the seat shook her head repeatedly, "That was hundreds of years ago, and now the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Martial Arts Mansion are not in stock. It was ineffective against cultivators who were regulating Sunluo's physique, so no one took it seriously.

If you have to, you can only go to the royal forbidden mountain with someone to collect on the spot, but the forbidden mountain is under the jurisdiction of the Zongren Mansion, and the minister of the country cannot be the master. ”

Zongrenfu? Although he was disappointed in his heart, Huo Xu felt that the road had not been blocked, at least, the Zongren Mansion was not a tiger's den in Longtan and no one dared to break in.

He sat down on a high chair next to the north window, and through the window, his gaze fell on the majestic temple in Miyagi.

After the superposition of dozens of temples, Xihe Holy Pagoda towers on the top of Lingyin Mountain, and there are nine huge golden pillars on the top of the tower, eight of which stretch out in eight directions, and one is erected high, reaching into the sky

The Miyagi in front of you is the power center of the entire Xihe Empire, and its influence is like that symbolized by Xihe Shengta, which is everywhere and far away.

His gaze slowly moved to Ziyang Square.

There wasn't a single tourist in the square.

Today is the ancient Holy Women's Day of the royal family, and the Xihe royal family set up an altar in Ziyang Square to pray for blessings.

Dozens of arresters from the palace were stationed in the shade of trees or by the iron fence outside the square, and were responsible for guarding.

Finding that the time axis was also among the guards, and the location of the time axis was not far from the Ziyang Gate, Huo Xu couldn't help frowning.

When the first rays of the morning sun fell on the earth, the nine old priestesses ascended the altar, raised their trembling hands, and looked at the heavens with reverence, praying to the gods to bestow holiness, wisdom, and beauty on the Gulin girls.

Seventy-two royal girls, dressed in white gauze skirts and hairpins with golden flowers, stood in nine rows, closing their eyes to receive the blessings of the gods amid the muttering prayers of the ceremony······

"Eh, where's Taishi?" Huo Xu asked thoughtfully.

Looking up and glancing at Huo Xu hurriedly, Gray Rose immediately lowered the first batch of reading manuscripts and pouted: "It's all a good thing you did!" Taishi Kuiqiu said that there were many suspicious things about the historical books he compiled, so he closed the museum every day to verify the historical facts, and now he rarely shows up. ”

"Taishi is still a person who knows his mistakes and can change them." Huo Xu smiled, and suddenly his eyes froze, "Why didn't you see Emperor Kangjing?" ”

"Retreat." Gray Rose said without looking up.

Retreat? Hey, a nine-star primer is about to be born!

Emperor Kangjing is an eight-star Yuanzai, and it takes a month or more than a month to retreat······

Huo Xu quickly calculated in his heart.

On the square, the prayer ceremony for the heavens was coming to an end, and the nine female priestesses lined up to descend the steps.

Zongren Mansion Zongzheng Gulin Mangyu followed the queen with a jade pot filled with holy water in her hand, and the queen dipped her fingers in water and sprinkled them on the foreheads of the seventy-two girls one by one.

Huo Xu rolled his eyes, his gaze shuttling back and forth between the altar and the three figures of Ziyang Gate.

If the space is expanded, then the queen, Gu Lin Mangyu, and Shizhou are actually in the same frame, which seems to be a revelation from the heavens in the dark.

"The Emperor is in retreat, the Empress is in charge of the country, a godsend, Shixi, your nightmare has begun!" Huo Xu said excitedly.

Grey Rose was stunned for a moment, and finally put aside the manuscript on the table, stood up stunned, and said: "I advise you to be cautious, the queen has heard of what the time axis has done, but now His Majesty the Emperor is in retreat, and the queen is stable in everything, and it is difficult for His Royal Highness to make up his mind whether to move the time axis or not." ”

"As far as I know, the queen has always had a habit of cleanliness and is a staunch defender of monogamy, and the reason why she is hesitant to take the time axis is because she is not stimulated enough hard." Huo Xu smiled.

Her face sank, but Grace found that she no longer had the confidence to reprimand this bold boy, and immediately said slowly: "What is important? ”

"Including Your Excellency, the people in the court are very particular about speaking, even if they are exposing the ugliness of Shiji, the wording will not be too fierce, although the queen is dissatisfied with Shiji, but not to the extent of disgust.

I'm different, I speak simply, directly, roughly, and throw down a few words, so that the queen can't wait to erase the time axis from the world in an instant.

Also, I know the details of the time axis better than the Tsushoji patrol······"

Before he finished speaking, Huo Xu left his seat and walked out, secretly thinking in his heart: "Shixi, if the royal family wants to reach a compromise with me and return the wealth of the Huo clan, who will you do if you don't take an ugly-looking guy?" You're dead! ”

······

After ordering holy water for the last girl, the queen's eyes wandered, looking at the crowd with a smile, and warming every girl's heart with her warm gaze.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a lonely and slightly obtrusive figure in the distance, and her smile froze for a moment that was difficult to detect.

She made an elegant gesture and said softly, "Take the children to the Three Autumn Palace." ”

Dozens of accompanying royal officials were ordered to lead nine female priestesses and seventy-two girls to leave.

A white skirt shadow floated towards the Ziyang Gate, and the skirt shadow was redundant against the red on the corridor and the black of the city gate.

A girl, a girl of about eight years old, who was at the end, suddenly stopped, and looked back at the fire as he slowly walked towards the altar.

A pair of eyes occupied almost a third of her face, and the light of the eyes was clearer than holy water, as if it reflected the light of her soul.

Looking at Huo Xu, those big eyes flickered frequently, and a smile seemed to pop out of her heart, and it was extremely vivid on her immature cheeks.

The girl turned away and caught up with her companion in front.

Inadvertently touched the pair of clear and translucent eyes, and Huo Xu's heart fluctuated for a moment. He stopped, put his hands on his chest, and his eyes chased the shadow of the white dress that was about to be hidden by the city gate, and his brain was in a trance.

The next moment, he realized that the ripple did not come from the bottom of his heart, but from the top of the gas field.

To be precise, Fang Cai's swing was neither heartbeat nor pneumatic, but it seemed that the spirit of the Taisu Lingpan had a brief throbbing.

"How is that possible!"

Huo Xu categorically denied this absurd idea, and he had no time to think about it, the queen's eyes were fishing for him like a thread, and he didn't want to be taken away by the thread like this.

Standing nearly twenty feet away from the altar, Huo Xu waited for the queen to summon him.

Looking at the young man in the brocade robe, the queen still smiled lightly, but her heart was difficult to calm down.

Huo Xu lifted the lid on the sensitive topic of the Battle of the North Sea, and insulted the royal boy in public, of course she was angry when she learned the news, but she was only angry, and she couldn't raise her anger to the level of hatred.

In her heart, more than annoyance, there was excitement!

The weird phenomenon of yuan pressure and breath shielding, the miraculous body technique, the mysterious technique that even the Nine Star Yuan Jue can't see through, this young man has too many secrets!

And the Xihe Empire has been stable for ten years, but it has also been mediocre for ten years, and those immutable cultivation systems, and the inheritance of exercises and techniques without new ideas, cannot polish the gray sky above the head of the empire's martial arts foundation.

This situation is like a pool of stagnant water under the walls of an ancient city.

However, with Huo Xu's stunning appearance, the pool of stagnant water finally rippled slightly.

As a senior cultivator, her attention couldn't help but be drawn by ripples.

Moreover, she had clearly seen him here that day, when there was a masked girl beside him, and that familiar figure immediately brought her mind back to her girlhood······

The queen stood on the side of the altar in the wind, her posture was elegant, and no one could see the waves in her heart.

Gu Lin Mangyu leaned over to the queen and whispered, "Your Royal Highness the queen, it is really unbelievable that Huo Xu can shield his own yuan pressure and breath.

The minister's strength is low, and he can't detect anything unusual in his body, and His Royal Highness is a strong man, do you want to take this opportunity to try him? ”

"Not necessarily." The queen did not hesitate to reject Gu Lin Mangyu's proposal, and then asked, "He was jealous of speaking in the capital that day, and he was really not instructed by anyone?" ”

"Absolutely not!" Gu Lin Mangyu said categorically: "The minister has secretly investigated, he is an orphan, he has no background, he is usually not treated by Tielong and the patriarch of the Fire Clan in the Five Clans Alliance, except for occasionally going to the Nangong Youth Arena to compete with others, and never interacting with people from other sects, who will instruct him!"

Besides, he still knew how to measure, he just said that testimony in front of Gray Rose, but he didn't talk about it everywhere, in the end, the reason why this matter was known to all the sects in the capital was because Taishi Kuiqiu didn't keep the door open. ”

"No one is secretly backing him, where did he have the courage to insult the royal boy in public?" The queen asked again.

"Hey, it's all young people who are jealous!" Gu Lin Mangyu carefully considered the wording, and said with a smile: "Doesn't Nangong Cuo have a daughter, known as 'peerless Tianshu', yesterday for some reason suddenly ran to the side of the competition platform and chatted with Huo Xu in public, and the enthusiasm seemed to be ······ It's a bit too much.

Hanyu's kid probably suffered ······ Irritating, mouth ······ also Lost the ······ of exquisiteness"

"What is not a weapon, at a young age, is jealous of a woman and a young man from the sect, and loses the face of the royal family for no reason!" The queen's smile couldn't be hung up after all, she turned her head sideways, avoided Huo Xu's gaze, and reprimanded.

Seeing that the queen was annoyed, Gu Lin Mangyu did not panic, lowered his head, and whispered: "The minister has secretly observed Huo Xu, and he doesn't look like a troublemaker, but if anyone provokes him, he will be ······ Troublesome.

Gray Rose was very worried, this kid seemed to be holding a large pile of jade in his hands, scattered in places that were difficult for ordinary people to know, and the information on them should be much more detailed than that testimony, once exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Your Highness, don't be careless! ”

The queen's face was cloudy, and she suddenly turned her head, and the trademark gentle smile instantly rose to the corners of her lips.

"Let him come."

"Yes." Gu Lin Mangyu waved at Huoxu.

Walking quickly to the altar, Huo Xu saluted and said, "Her Royal Highness." Your Excellency Zongzheng. ”

Smiling at Huo Xu, the young man in front of him was calm, but the queen couldn't be calm, the distance and depth between his eyebrows and eyes made her heart shake.

That's the kind of divine consciousness that only happens when the weak look up to the strong!

"The former Fire Alliance Lord was worthy of the title of national scholar, but the deity never expected that the nephew of a generation of national warriors was now causing chaos to the empire." Suppressing the turmoil in her heart, the queen put pressure on Huo Xu as soon as she spoke.

Huo Xu frowned slightly, and said calmly: "Only ten years have passed, and the wealth he left to his descendants has been stripped away, so unbearable, how can the Fire Alliance Lord be worthy of the honor of a national warrior!" ”

A smile of surprise shook the corners of her lips, and the queen suddenly realized that dealing with this brocade-robed young man was not an easy job.

"You should know that the royal family can't manage too much about the family affairs of the Five Clans Alliance." She was able to stabilize her mind.

Moving his eyes to the time axis, Huo Xu said: "Whether it is a family matter of the Five Clans Alliance, Your Highness will be clear if you ask the palace office." ”

As if hinted, she tilted her head slightly, and the queen's slightly sharp gaze pierced the time axis on the side of the Ziyang Gate.

The next moment, two groups of people inside and outside the city gate were in sight, which made her look upset.

The guards on duty inside the gate are the palace guards, which are under the jurisdiction of the Zongren Mansion; On duty outside the gate is the arrest of the palace administration, under the jurisdiction of the court, a city gate and two sets of people on duty, she has to explain at both ends when she goes to Ziyang Gate.

Troublesome!

Turning her head, the queen smiled at Huo Xu and said, "Your appeal is to track down the whereabouts of the Fire Alliance Lord's legacy, that's all?" ”

"That's all!" Huo Xu immediately responded.

"Let's do it······ The deity commanded to go down, and in a few days someone from the Rite Clan would contact you. The queen said slowly.

"But the fire ······ The clansmen of the Fire Alliance Lord thought that it was more convenient to go to the Zongren Mansion to speak, and the Zongren Mansion was the most qualified to represent the royal family, which was stipulated by the imperial ancestral system. Huo Xu said euphemistically.

As the words fell, Gu Lin Mangyu's eyes immediately lit up.

O conscience! This kid can be my own son, even······ It's not impossible to treat him as a little brother!

After sitting on the cold bench for many years, for the first time he heard someone complaining for the Zongren Mansion, Gu Lin Mangyu was inevitably a little excited and even embarrassed, but it was inconvenient to reveal it in front of the queen.

"Wait for news at home, there will be an answer in a month. I hope that your performance during this period will not disappoint the deity. ”

Dropping these words, the queen showed a graceful and luxurious demeanor, and walked towards the Ziyang Gate with an elegant gait.

Seeing the figures of the Empress and Gu Lin Mangyu disappear into the Ziyang Gate, Huo Xu walked straight to the time axis.

In the empty square, there was only one brocade-robed young man left, and this person was walking towards the heavily guarded Ziyang Gate with a big grin, but no one stopped the guards inside the door, and no one stepped forward to stop the arrest outside the door.

"Yo, isn't this the respected Shigong Masa." Pausing a few feet away from the time axis, Huo Xu smiled, smiling a little malicefully.

Through the iron fence, Huo Xu caught a glimpse of the queen on the road, Gu Lin Mangyu, who had obviously slowed down his pace, afraid that he would stop the next moment.

The corners of Shizhou's mouth twitched, and his angry eyebrows were quickly flattened, and he straightened his back and said nothing.

Shi Zhou is not stupid, the day he came back from the Nangong Youth Arena, he realized that he was in a bad situation.

The queen hung him and did not let him get close at all.

His backer, the majestic Lord Zhengqing, was blowing a cold wind at the foot of Lingyin Peak at the moment, saying that he was going to guard the customs for His Majesty the Emperor and could not take care of government affairs for more than a month.

Lord Zongzheng, who has been sitting on the cold bench for a long time, has now become a celebrity next to the queen.

And the little man who had been trampled on by him, the brocade-robed young man in front of him, was just now, and he actually had a good conversation with Her Royal Highness the Queen.

This is a very bad sign!

Just don't let go of this old face, you can't fight back, you can't scold back, silence is golden······

Staring at the timeline, Huo Xu smiled playfully: Yo, I know how to forbear, yes, but it's a pity that this trick is useless!

His Yuan Force is very weak, he has no weapons, and his poisonous tongue is his weapon.

Ordinary people shaking their poisonous tongues is the way to get trouble, but at this moment, Huo Xu's poisonous tongue is enough to crush a three-star Yuanjue, and he can escape with his whole body afterwards.

He was convinced of this.

"A few days ago, in front of a large group of sect powerhouses and Yuan Shao, the Shi Palace openly prevented me from following the Xihe Imperial Heavenly Sage Regulations to challenge the ninth-level Yuan Shao, but forced me to go to the Luoxia Mountains in accordance with the old practice of the Fire Clan, which is incomprehensible, it turns out that the huge palace city is actually the Shi Palace is in charge, and there is nothing to do with His Majesty the Great Emperor."

Huo Xu talked eloquently, with few words, but it was a word for heart!

The queen on the road had already stopped, and anger instantly crawled all over the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

"Shi Gong Zheng does have the appearance of being a family, but he is not as dedicated as His Majesty the Emperor, Shi Gong Zheng has opened the harem to other counties, and more than 100 concubines are all available for investigation. Shi Gongzheng also vigorously advocated the restoration of the ancient system of the emperor's harem and bewitched His Majesty the Emperor······"

Shixi's face turned pale, and he almost broke the root of his teeth.

The captors hung their heads, but secretly pricked up their ears.

And the guards in the fence had no scruples, one by one, regardless of their appearance, they tilted their heads sideways to listen.

"There are groups of concubines, Shi Gongzheng is still not satisfied, he is very good at cuckolding his subordinates, and the green hats sent should be no less than thirty, right? However, there are no weak soldiers under the strong generals, and there are many capable people in the palace administration, and they are also vying to send green hats to the palace, and the palace is a green grassland on his head, which is quite spectacular! ”

Huo Xu continued to throw wood on the fire.

The muscles on Shixi's face trembled wildly, and his brow rippled like waves. A basin of stinky water is poured on his head, even if he doesn't vomit blood and die, he will die!

Those arrests, you look at me, I look at you, and finally look at the time axis.

The corner of his eye swept to the queen on the road, Huo Xu opened his voice and said, "That's the one."
