As soon as it was dawn the next morning, Ouyang Mingli was about to set off after meeting with Murong Ye and the others, when the housekeeper came with surprising news.

"Eldest young master, Your Majesty has sent a decree to summon you and Ye Gongzi into the palace to face the saint. ”

Ou Yangmingli was stunned when he heard this, looked at the housekeeper and asked, "Has my father entered the palace?"

The housekeeper replied truthfully, "Back to the eldest young master, the master hasn't gone out yet!"

Ou Yangmingli's brows tightened when he heard this, and his face instantly became solemn.

When Ou Yangmingli heard that the emperor had not only summoned him, but also summoned Murong Ye, the first thought in his mind was that the emperor knew Murong Ye's true identity after meeting his father Ouyang Heng, so he decided to summon Murong Ye into the palace by the way.

However, after Ou Yangmingli knew that his father had not yet entered the palace, he understood that the emperor had deduced Murong Ye's identity by himself as he guessed, and then specially summoned Murong Ye into the palace for other reasons.

Don't look at these two situations to look similar, but the meaning behind them is very different.

In the first case, the emperor may just be curious about Murong Ye, so he wanted to see Murong Ye by the way after knowing that Murong Ye was in Ouyang's mansion.

But in the second case, the emperor had a clear purpose to see Murong Ye. Because, if the emperor didn't have something to do with Murong Ye, it could be regarded as not knowing Murong Ye's existence.

Ou Yangmingli sighed after a quick assessment in his heart, he was not sure what the reason for the emperor to summon Murong Ye was.

As soon as Murong Ye heard that the Emperor of the Dawn Empire was going to summon him, he also frowned, puzzled. He couldn't figure out how he had come into the sight of the Emperor of the Dawn Empire, and he couldn't guess why the Emperor had summoned him to the palace sanctuary.

Murong Ye could only cast his eyes on Ou Yangmingli, who had the most say in this matter, hoping that Ou Yangmingli would come up with an idea.

Han Yuli's face was solemn, but he didn't speak, and also looked at Ou Yangmingli.

Under the gaze of Murong Ye and Han Yulian, Ou Yangmingli paused, and said lightly to Murong Ye: "I can't guess Your Majesty's purpose, but Your Majesty should have no malicious intent. If Your Majesty really wants to be unfavorable to you, then what we are waiting for will not be the Holy Decree, but the palace guards. ”

Murong Ye nodded and agreed with Ou Yangmingli's words.

Since His Majesty the Emperor of your country summoned me in a dignified manner, I did not shy away from it. ”

Han Yuli made a final sound, "I'll go with you, and when you leave the palace, we will leave the city immediately." ”

"Yes, Senior Sister. ”

After it was decided, Murong Ye and his party met with Ouyang Heng and immediately went to the palace together.

On the way, Ou Yangmingli and Ouyang Heng briefly exchanged this matter, but unfortunately, Ouyang Heng couldn't guess the emperor's intention to summon Murong Ye.

Soon, everyone came to the palace gate with a heavy heart.

The cautious and suspicious Murong Ye summed it up, and finally felt a little unsure about the summons of the Emperor of the Dawn Empire, so he quietly said a word to Wang Teng when he turned over and dismounted.

"Uncle Wang, if there is an accident, break out of the city immediately. ”

Murong Ye's meaning is obvious, if he has a conflict with the Emperor of the Dawn Empire in the palace, Wang Teng and the others must not enter the palace to rescue him but must leave the city immediately, he will find a way to leave the Dawn City and join Wang Teng and the others again.

After Murong Ye finished speaking, without waiting for Wang Teng to react, he directly followed Ou Yangmingli and entered the palace under the guidance of the palace guards.

Wang Teng looked at Murong Ye's back and was a little hesitant about Murong Ye's order. As Murong Ye's personal guard, Bai Huwei should have made Murong Ye's safety the first priority.

However, after seeing Murong Ye's combat power surpassing that of the same level and various magical methods, Wang Teng knew very well that Murong Ye wanted to escape, and few people could ensure that Murong Ye was left behind.

When he was besieged by Xu Tong that time, it was not difficult for Murong Ye to escape by himself. However, Murong Ye did not abandon the idea of escaping by himself at all, but made up his mind to break through with the guards.

This is also one of the reasons why Wang Teng and the other White Tiger Thirty-six Guards are more and more desperate for Murong Ye.

Wang Teng remembered Murong Ye's strange speed, and finally decided to obey Murong Ye's orders, he didn't want Bai Huwei to become a burden for Murong Ye to get out.

Yes, Wang Teng knows very well that the current White Tiger Guard is not Murong Ye's help to some extent, but a drag.

Strength......

Wang Teng kept chanting these two words in his heart, and his desire for strength had never been stronger than now. He desperately hopes to quickly improve his strength and become a veritable help for Murong Ye.

The most important thing is that Wang Teng didn't want Murong Ye to pay a heavy price like an instant white head for the White Tiger Guard again.

Strength!

Murong Ye naturally didn't know that his words had aroused Wang Teng's heart to become stronger, and he had already come to the main hall of the palace with the palace guards at this moment.

After the Moon Shadow Sword and Ouyang Mingli's saber were handed over to the palace guards for safekeeping, Murong Ye and Ouyang Mingli followed Ouyang Heng and walked into the palace in half a step.

"Minister Ouyang Heng, see Your Majesty!"

"Ou Yangmingli, greetings to Your Majesty!"

"I've seen Your Majesty!"

Ouyang Heng, Ou Yangmingli, and Murong Ye bowed to the Emperor of the Dawn Empire, who was sitting in the middle of the palace, in turn. Murong Ye didn't know if His Majesty the Emperor of the Dawn Empire knew his identity, so he didn't call himself "Ye Bai" or "Murong Ye".

When Murong Ye was saluting, he quietly glanced at the emperor and hurriedly lowered his head.

The current emperor of the Dawn Empire is nearly seventy years old, and he looks like an old grandfather next door, but his eyes contain wisdom and vicissitudes that ordinary people do not have.

Murong Ye learned from Ouyang Mingli that the emperor's name was Gongsun Hong, who was nearly seventy years old and had been an emperor for more than fifty years, and his means and mind were the most outstanding among the emperors of recent generations.

Gongsun Hong slowly spoke with a kind smile on his face. "Guys, please!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Murong Ye and the others straightened up after thanking them, but they still lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at Gongsun Hong. The principle that you should not look up at you is common in any country.

Gongsun Hong's gaze looked at Murong Ye carefully, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious.

"This should be the senior disciple Murong Ye of Lord Si Yijian, right? He has such a cultivation at a young age, and he is really talented!"

As soon as Gongsun Hong opened his mouth, he directly revealed Murong Ye's identity, and he was talking about Si Yijian's high disciple rather than Murong Ye of the Murong family of the Eastern Empire. The meaning is intriguing.

As for Gongsun Honggui as the emperor, he called Si Yijian "adult", but it is reasonable. Although Gongsun Hong can be regarded as one of the three giants of the Dongzhou Continent, Si Yijian, who is a martial saint, is also a person at the peak of the Dongzhou Continent, and the identities of the two are basically the same, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior.

Therefore, Gongsun Hong and other emperors usually use the honorific title of "adult" to call Si Yijian and other martial saints and Tibetan military envoys, and Si Yijian These martial saints will also call Gongsun Hong and other emperors "Your Majesty" to show respect.

Murong Ye thought about Gongsun Hong's intention of not mentioning his identity as a Murong family in the Eastern Empire, and saluted again.

"Your Majesty has a reputation!"

"Murong Xian's nephew is so talented, I think it won't take a few years to go out to the mainland. The Dawn Empire is thirsty for talent, I wonder if the virtuous nephew is interested in seeking an official position?"

Murong Ye couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he thought that with Gongsun Hong's wisdom, he would be more tactful even if he wanted to recruit himself, but he never expected Gongsun Hong to say it so blatantly. Moreover, Gongsun Hong completely ignored the fact that the Murong family was the top family in the Eastern Empire.

Murong Ye didn't know about the conversation between Ouyang Heng and Ouyang Mingli, he wouldn't feel strange if he knew. Gongsun Hong and Ouyang Heng Junchen have surprisingly consistent attitudes towards talents.

Murong Ye glanced at Ou Yangmingli and saw that Ou Yangmingli didn't react, so he stepped forward and bowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love!" However, the kid has only been cultivating in Si Jianfeng for a few years, and he has not yet learned the fur of the master's sword. It's too early to say that he is a teacher, and he can only live up to His Majesty's kindness. ”

Although Murong Ye did not directly refuse, but euphemistically proposed that it would take a long time for him to become a teacher, his meaning was no different from refusal.

Gongsun Hong smiled and continued, "No matter when you leave the school, the gate of the Dawn Empire will always be open for you. ”

Murong Ye thought that after he finished what he just said, Gongsun Hong would take advantage of the situation to give up, but he didn't expect Gongsun Hong to continue to invite him by pretending not to hear the deep meaning of his words. Naturally, he couldn't directly refuse Gongsun Hong, so he gave an ambiguous answer.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, when the boy leaves the school, he will definitely give His Majesty's advice to the Master, and ask the Master to decide. ”

Gongsun Hong looked at Murong Ye, who was not leaking, and the smile in his eyes was even brighter, and then he turned his head to look at Ouyang Mingli and said, "Ouyang Xian's nephew, but I haven't come back for a few days, I don't want to remember it." You've been out of school for many years, and I don't know when you'll come back to help me solve my problems?"

Murong Ye, who lowered his head, pulled the corners of his mouth, but he didn't expect Gongsun Hong to win him over, so he immediately wooed the second senior brother.

The reason why Gongsun Hong called Murong Ye and Ouyang Mingli "virtuous nephews" was from Si Yijian's point of view. If you look at the seniority of the Dawn Empire, Ouyang Mingli's age should be regarded as his grandchildren.

Ou Yangming's face did not change, obviously he was used to it. "Mingli is devoted to the sword and does not admire the court, which disappoints His Majesty. ”

Gongsun Hong smiled and didn't care, obviously it was not the first time that he had a conversation with Ouyang Mingli.

At this time, Ouyang Heng stood up and took out the fold, stretched out his hands and raised them forward. "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do. ”

"The eighth and twelfth feasted on Aiqing, I know. ”

Gongsun Hong glanced at Ouyang Heng indifferently, he didn't want to see the twist at all, and he didn't say anything about it.

Gongsun Hong continued to say to Ouyang Mingli: "Ouyang Xian's nephew, I am old and my body is declining, and I am interested in establishing a prince, I don't know which of these princes and grandsons does Ouyang Xian's nephew think I can handle this important task?"

As soon as Gongsun Hong's words came out, the audience was shocked. None of the three of Murong Ye expected Gongsun Hong to ask such a question.

Ou Yangmingli frowned slightly, and said lightly: "Mingli is afraid, I am just a cloth cloth, and I dare not talk about the affairs of the empire." ”

Gongsun Hong smiled slightly, his eyes flashing with inexplicable deep meaning.

"Ouyang Xian's nephew doesn't have to be arrogant, you are a martial saint disciple and a peer in cultivation, and you are the son of Ouyang Shi's family, you are really the mainstay of the empire. If there is only one person in this world who can advise me on the matter of the prince, that person must be a virtuous nephew. ”
