Chapter 357: Attending the Imperial Meeting
When Ye Qing returned to the princess's mansion, it was already dawn. Ye Qing moved his hands and feet and jumped off the bed.
"Xiao Yi, let's go get something to eat. There will be big things to do in a while. ”
"I like it, I'm in the mood to do things when I'm full. ”
Ye Qing instructed a maid to prepare some meat, but the maid told him that the food was ready, and he could go over and eat directly.
Ye Qing was very satisfied with this kind of advance service, so he took Xiao Yi to the place of dining. It was a large courtyard, and the air was very fresh in the morning, and people felt very refreshed in it.
Looking at the table full of meat on the stone table, Xiao Yi jumped up unceremoniously, and began to eat before Ye Qing sat down.
Ye Qing smiled and was also taken aback.
After a full meal, Ye Qing walked out of the courtyard and found that Snow Blue had arrived.
"Are you two satisfied?"
Snow Blue asked with a smile.
Xiao Yi nodded vigorously, and stuck out his tongue to lick his slightly greasy little mouth.
"Let's go, the time should be almost up. ”
Ye Qing said to Snow Blue.
Snow Blue nodded, a blush on her face. Then he walked out of the princess's mansion under the protection of a group of guards.
"Big brother, what big things are we going to do today?"
Ye Qing smiled and said, "What I have to do today is a big thing, I'm going to grab a wife and come back." ”
When she heard Ye Qing's first half of the sentence, Princess Lan Xue was a little moved in her heart, and she glanced at Ye Qing. But when I heard the back, I was speechless for a while, and at the same time I felt a little hot on my face.
"Ahh Whoever dares to rob his wife with his eldest brother, I will abolish him. ”
Seeing Xiao Yi's serious appearance, the guards around him suddenly smiled, but none of them laughed out loud.
The so-called court hall is actually the place where the Holy Fire Emperor originally lived. Some powerful ministers come here every day to gather.
The gathering place was a large hall with a huge table in the middle. The participants sat down around the table and did not need to bow down to the Emperor of the Holy Fire. After all, everyone was a heavyweight of the empire, and the Holy Flame Emperor was very polite to them. Naturally, we won't let everyone do anything they don't want to do.
Now that the Holy Flame Emperor has disappeared for many years, some ministers have long since stopped attending this gathering. Only a small number of bored people still come, and not every day.
Now the person who presided over it became the king of Zhenbei, and I saw a middle-aged man sitting in the middle seat. There was a circle of people around the side, and at a glance, I knew that it was the descendant of the king of Zhenbei. Among them, there was a young man at the level of a martial saint, and Princess Lan Xue told Ye Qing that this person was Xing Yuhou. The person Ye Qing is going to deal with.
When Xing Yuhou saw Snow Blue coming, he immediately showed a smile and nodded to Snow Moon.
However, Snow Blue didn't even look at him, and directly chose a farther seat and sat down.
Xing Yuhou naturally felt very shameless, but he didn't show any dissatisfaction on the surface, but the hatred in his eyes was seen by Ye Qing.
As soon as Ye Qing saw this Xingyuhou, he knew that he was a person with a narrow temperament and flaws that would be reported.
Snow Blue motioned for Ye Qing to sit next to her, and Ye Qing did not hesitate to do so, completely ignoring the surprised gazes around her.
Soon, there were quite a few people sitting in front of the table. The doorway was also quiet.
King Zhenbei looked around, pausing slightly when he saw the half-masked man beside Snow Blue. After looking at the lap, he stood up.
"It's almost all here, so let's get started. It's still the old rule, speak in order, discuss things together, and disperse early if you have nothing to do.
As soon as the words fell, an old man sitting next to the king of Zhenbei stood up.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the martial arts conference of the Seven Sects and Four Families is about to begin. The Murong family sent someone to loosen the invitation and invite the high-level leaders of our Holy Fire Empire to come and observe. ”
The old man began to talk about how strong those who participated in the competition were, and that it would be very beneficial to go and observe it, just like advertising.
Princess Lan Xue whispered to Ye Qing: "This is the person from the King of Zhenbei, it turns out that the King of Zhenbei is from the Murong family. That's what my eldest brother told me. The strength of the Seven Gates and Four Families can be called the best in the Fengyun Continent, and even the four major empires have to act according to their faces. ”
Ye Qing nodded slightly, and suddenly remembered the man he had killed in the early hours of this morning. That person claimed to be a person from the Heavenly Gate, and it had something to do with the seven gates and four families.
Princess Lan Xue continued: "The mark on that killer weapon last time has been found out, and it is the mark of the Murong family's dark hall. You just have to know what to expect. ”
Ye Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he had a plan in his heart.
At this time, the old man finally finished speaking, glanced at everyone and sat down.
Then some ministers spoke one after another, and some said that there was a demonic beast invasion in a certain city in the Holy Fire Empire, and how many people died. Some say that there is a special phenomenon on that mysterious mountain, and there may be some treasure to be realistic. In short, they are all relatively mysterious things, and only a few have a response.
Finally, it was Ye Qing's turn to speak. Ye Qing came here for the first time, and he didn't have a clear position in the Holy Fire Empire. It's just that he and Snow Blue came in together, so no one questioned him. Now that it was Ye Qing's turn to speak, everyone thought that Ye Qing would say hello like most people.
But Ye Qing didn't do that. Of course Ye Qing wouldn't do this, he came here for the matter of Snow Blue, and he didn't come to participate in this kind of court.
Ye Qing stood up and glanced at everyone. In fact, everyone had been observed before, and there were five Martial Saint-level powerhouses sitting there. The three were the people from the Zhenbei King's side, including the Zhenbei King himself and Xing Yuhou, and one was the old man who spoke at the beginning. This old man is a powerhouse of the second level of Martial Saint, and he doesn't seem to have any special skills, and there is no murderous aura in his eyes. There is a difference of 108,000 miles compared with the king of Zhenbei.
Another is a middle-aged man, according to Snow Blue, this man is a marshal in the Skyfire Army. He did not belong to the King of Zhenbei, but was only loyal to the Holy Fire Emperor, and the eldest prince could not order him.
There is also Ye Qing himself, a person who seems to have no cultivation, but actually has the strength of a martial saint.
"I'm Snow Blue's personal bodyguard. ”
Ye Qing's first sentence made everyone laugh, a small guard actually dared to come here to speak, it was really lawless. If it weren't for Snow Blue staring at the guys who reacted the most fiercely with sharp eyes, I'm afraid they would have driven Ye Qing out directly.
The strength of the Blue Snow Princess's demi-saint is there, except for a few martial saints, no one is her opponent, and naturally she can't withstand her coercion.
"Alright, let's hear what this personal guard has to say. ”
In the end, it was the king of Zhenbei who spoke, and everyone quieted down.
