The height between the cave and the surface of the underground river was higher than Di Xue imagined, and the water that poured into a waterfall fell together, and the gentle wind breath was like a pair of big hands dragging his body down slowly, falling into the waves that bloomed on the surface of the underground river, like the fallen leaves that were scattered in this autumn.

The river water is a little warm, thinking that it is because of the geothermal heat, Di Xue swam to the shore, and the warm underground water after coming ashore makes him not feel cold.

The sight in front of him shocked him a little.

The Eternal City is a very beautiful city, and there are several famous scenic spots in the Heroic Soul Plain, Di Xue has seen a lot of beautiful scenery since he was a child, but there has never been one as beautiful as the buried underground world in front of him, so dreamy and shocking.

Like a vast field, the endless underground world is full of mountain-like crystal piles, and the colorful crystal piles emit the mist of light and mist that Emperor Xue had glimpsed from afar before.

There are colorful dots on the top of the dome stone wall, which are bright gems like stars, and at a glance, the top of the head seems to be a vast sea of stars.

The mist of mist emitted by the crystal piles and the streamers of the gems on the dome make this buried world as bright as day, and there are faintly agile and vigorous creatures running between the crystal piles in the distance.

Completely different from the dim and dead silence of the fog forest on the ground, this underground world is full of majestic breath of life.

It took a long time for Di Xue to wake up from the shock, and he never thought that there was such a dreamy and beautiful underground space hidden under the fog forest.

After pondering for a moment, Di Xue decided to rest on the riverside first, but now he was not in a hurry, with the open distance of this underground space, he seemed to have a long way to go, and the hazy light mist emitted by those multicolored crystals in the distance seemed to be in no danger, but the creatures running in it did not know what kind of life, and he had already understood the power of the demonic beasts in the fog forest, and he felt that it was best to be prepared.

Changing into his soaked purple royal robe, Di Xue simply took a bath in the lukewarm underground river, and in the process he found that there were many swimming fish in the river, and they were not the aggressive shark fish, some of them were like mutated varieties of blind fish, the famous delicacy of the empire.

Hmm, it looks quite fatty, I don't know how it tastes...... Di Xue thought to herself.

Di Xue hadn't eaten a good meal since he entered the Fog Forest, and some frozen fruit cakes in the space ring were the things he had been hungry for these days, and he had already starved him.

Trying in the water for a long time, secretly sighing that catching fish is not good without experience, Di Xue frowned, and with a wave of his hand, he released a freezing magic, directly icing the two fish that were swimming happily not far away.

I went ashore with the ice cubes and looked around the riverside, and found that this underground world was different from the fog forest on the ground, and the only thing missing was trees...... Di Xue had to take out a bunch of books from the space ring as firewood.

The bonfire was lit, and Di Xue began his great business of grilling fish.

The body of the magic wand used by Di Xue is made of extremely precious black walnut, which grows on the island of Shenli in the South China Sea, only one foot long in a hundred years, and is not afraid of fire and freezing, and is the most precious material for making zuò magic wands on the mainland.

At this time, Di Xue simply used it as a grilled harpoon.

Using the spanon staff to fork a ball of ice cubes frozen with fish, Di Xue roasted it on the fire for a long time before the ice cubes could melt, Di Xue frowned slightly, although he was indeed very hungry, but finding Taylor was the most important thing.

So he lit a magic fireball in his hand and threw it into the bonfire with a thud.

......

Faced with the fish that had been burned to ashes and the clothes that had been affected hanging on the side, Di Xue wanted to cry without tears...... Fortunately, he hid quickly, otherwise the only pair of quarterpants under him would have been buried for the poor little fish.

Taking out a set of clean clothes from the space ring and changing them, Di Xue sighed and prepared to continue on the road.

At this moment, a slight laughter suddenly came from the underground river behind him.

Di Xue instantly turned around and looked back, but the river was calm as usual, and there was nothing unusual.

Standing by the river for a while, Di Xue shook her head, thinking that she was too tired and nervous recently, so she didn't think much about it.

The underground river meandered through the piles of multicolored magic crystals in the distance, and Di Xue held a spade wand and walked towards the glowing place in the distance

Unlike the dormitory floor, which is surrounded by tall columns and appears empty like floating clouds, the Eternal Tower floor is completely enclosed.

The deep obsidian is covered in tasteful wallpaper, and the good magic ventilation and magic lighting system keep this level from being dull and dull due to the closed construction.

The Cabinet was a place where the Emperor and his ministers discussed state affairs, and the Imperial Court Meeting, which was held every three days.

As one of the most important floors in the Tower of Eternity, the overall style of the council floor is noble and elegant, beautiful, located in the center of the top of the floor crystal chandelier and dome mural combined to resemble a blooming golden rose, the lights in it have been eternal for thousands of years, symbolizing the eternal rule of the Rose Empire.

Today is the three-day court meeting, more than 100 ministers and generals of the six divisions and three departments are in the discussion layer, and on the pure gold throne on the high platform in the north between the layers sits a middle-aged man with black hair and blue eyes, who is leaning on the railing.

Wearing a rose crown and a gold-patterned imperial robe on a black background, the whole person has a majestic and wise imperial momentum, which is completely different from the casual chic when he sighs at the sunset with Herris and Tina on the Wangshi Tower.

With the same blue eyes, Di Xue's blue eyes are like a cloudless blue sky, pure and mysterious. Leaning on the railing, it is extremely powerful, like a deep sea, and under the calm sea there are endless waves of thoughts.

Glancing at the civil and military officials below, the originally somewhat noisy political layer suddenly became quiet under His Majesty's fierce eyes.

After thinking about it, it seemed that there was nothing to say, and his majesty was ready to end today's big court meeting with a sentence of "That's it for today".

However, just as His Majesty was about to speak, he saw General Yu, who had been silent at the court meeting, stand up.

Stationed on the frontier all the year round, the oldest general in the empire is already full of sideburns, under the black and shiny general's helmet is his vicissitudes of life, and a few strands of long gray hair exposed outside the helmet, but a black and reflective general's armor and bright red cloak still make him look heroic.

General Yu Taiyu gave a military salute to His Majesty and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister has something to play." ”

In the face of such a hero of the empire, His Majesty's tone was also very gentle: "General, please speak." ”

General Taiyu said: "The old minister heard that His Royal Highness the Great Prince has been going to Xiyue Province alone for more than four days, and there are many dangerous monsters in Xiyue Province, and the safety of the royal family members is involved. ”

As soon as the general's words fell, the civil and military officials below began to discuss, four days ago, Di Xue broke through the realm in a rage at the Golden Flower Grand Theater, and the magic cultivation of the four sages was revealed to the world for the first time, and it had already been rumored in the Eternal City in the past few days. There are even rumors that he rode a white horse across the long street, robbed a magic flying saucer at the Divine Law Academy, and went to Xiyue Province in pursuit of a woman, which caused a wave of public opinion.

Leaning on the railing, His Majesty waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "So that's the case, if the child goes out to play, he won't worry about the general of the Tai Dynasty." ”

It was just a rumor before, but at this time, when he heard His Majesty admit it himself, the ministers couldn't help but be shocked, and General Yutai hesitated, walked a few steps to the front of the palace, and whispered in a voice that only the monarch and the minister could hear: "But Your Majesty, Xiyue Fog Forest...... It's not a fun place. ”

A middle-aged man with the appearance of a nobleman standing in front of the ministers also stood up: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what the old general said is reasonable, the current situation in Xiyue Province has been chaotic recently, and there have been frequent murders, and the minister learned that a large number of warriors dressed in white have gathered outside the fog forest, and the minister thinks that the royal guards can be sent to Xiyue Province or the governor of Xiyue can send troops on the spot to find His Royal Highness the Great Prince and suppress this group of unidentified ......"

Leaning on the railing, he glanced faintly at the man who was speaking, and interrupted his words: "Cyril, you don't have to worry about this matter. ”

Count Cyril felt that this glance was extremely deep, as if he had seen through all his thoughts, and the cold sweat behind his back suddenly wet his clothes, and he pretended to be calm and retreated, not daring to say more.

Yu Taiyu looked at Count Cyril with an expressionless face, and did not feel any gratitude for agreeing with his opinion in the court, and when he saw that His Majesty was silent, he whispered a few words of advice.

Leaning on the railing, His Majesty knew who had invited him when the general whispered to himself, and after a moment of silence, he shouted to the hundred officials below, "Where is Richard? Get out of here." ”

Richard, the captain of the Royal Guard, immediately rolled out.

Leaning on the railing, His Majesty said, "I ordered you to lead two hundred guards and Xu Doudou, the commander of Emperor Xue's guards, to Xiyue Province together, if you have any questions, ask Xu Doudou to go, handle this matter well, and I will forgive you for your dereliction of duty a few days ago." ”

Captain Richard immediately replied, "Yes, yes, Your Majesty." ”

Then His Majesty got up and left the luxurious pure gold throne, and all the ministers of civil and military affairs also dispersed in the discussion.

After the court meeting was dispersed, His Majesty Yilan took care of a few more political affairs, and when he returned to the floor of the dormitory, it was already time for lunch.

In the royal dining room of Jingxiu Palace, Empress Xiaowei was already preparing lunch for Her Majesty, and when she saw Her Majesty coming back, she stepped forward and took off her coat for him intimately.

The delicate dishes had already filled the long table, and the two of them sat down to prepare for the meal, leaning on the railing and smiling at her: "I told you a long time ago, you don't have to wait for me, you eat first." ”

Empress Xiaowei, who is dressed in a long skirt palace dress, behaves elegantly, has the style of a mother of the country, she has given birth to two children, she has not been left many traces on her bright face by the years, and Queen Xiaowei also smiled at the care of Her Majesty Xiaowei: "That day, Xu Doudou came to ask for troops for Xiaoxue, and I would have asked you to send troops to Xiyue to help him, you, you have to wait until this time." ”

Leaning on the rail, His Majesty said nonchalantly: "That kid went to pick up girls by himself, and I asked me to send someone to be his bodyguard, how could there be such a beautiful thing? If it weren't for the old general of Lantai to intercede for him, I wouldn't bother to pay attention to him...... Forget it, don't talk about him, eat and eat."

Empress Xiaowei covered her mouth and smiled, she didn't say anything, but she was thinking: "It's obvious that I can't bear it and I'm so worried all day long that I can't even read the poetry collection of the emperor and the prince, but I'm embarrassed to say, hey, what can I do to save you, my majesty is ......."

Catching a glimpse of the queen's smile made the old man blush, and immediately opened the topic and said, "Hey, why is this fish scorched today? ”

The court attendant on the side immediately changed the plate of "burnt" fish in great panic.

After laying out two dishes for His Majesty, Empress Xiaowei said with some concern: "Although Master Herris has promised that Xiaoxue and the girl named Taylor are safe, it is the first time for him to go out so far, and a place like the fog forest is so dangerous, and I don't know if I have eaten enough these days. ”

Cutting open a steak, he leaned on the fence and said lightly: "I heard that there is a kind of blind fish in the fog forest is very good, and he won't catch it and roast it himself when he is hungry?"
