There is a palace master, two Dharma blessings, and three saints in the Star Sacrifice Palace, and the one in front of her is the most mysterious Star Saintess.

She doesn't have the appearance of a so-called "saint" at all, and she never shows her true face, occasionally revealing her hands under the robe, which turned out to be a pair of wooden prosthetics, the star saint purr in her throat, unable to speak, a black cat came out from under the robe, jumped on her shoulder, the cat turned its green eyes, and the two people who watched it raised their cold hairs, and suddenly spoke, with a sharp and strange voice: "Your Majesty summoned, please ask the master of the military pavilion to go to the star tower quickly." ”

Your Majesty summoned you!Twilight was startled, and there was an indescribable fear that the cat had spoken?

The third county lord didn't dare to lose his temper anymore, and dragged the deputy general to the side.

"I'm tired of the Star Saintess. Xiao Qianye had already walked out of the Danzhen Palace, and the Star Saintess raised her head, she was less than half the height of Xiao Qianye, and under the strange mask, a pair of godless eyes looked blankly.

It was a blind man, but Xiao Qianye's heart was beating - it was this person who helped King Garan unlock the seal of the cangma.

"Thousand Nights......" Haoyue hurriedly rubbed over and grabbed his hand, muttering in a low voice, "I'll go with you, this person...... It's scary. ”

"Twilight, send the three county lords back. Xiao Qianye didn't appreciate it, and gave the three county lords to the deputy general, the Star Saintess nodded mechanically, and the black cat pulled her throat, "Please go by yourself to the military pavilion master, don't wait for me." ”

"Good. Xiao Qianye answered, turned on his horse, and walked towards the south of the imperial city, at this time it was already dawn, and the troops stationed in the forbidden army saw him, and they also bowed politely.

He knew that this kind of politeness was hypocritical, such a large imperial capital city, and there were only a few adjutant generals stationed in the military cabinet.

In the early years, in order to build the water prison of the king, the emperor built a huge artificial lake in the south of the city - Xingluo Lake, and at the same time filled the earth on the lake to build an island to establish a sealing platform, and established the water prison of the king under the lake, and then surrounded the three high-rise buildings of this artificial island, respectively, picking up the stars, looking at the moon, and taking the sun, the height of the third floor is second only to the temple in the center, and the three holy women of the star palace live on the roof of the building all the year round, observing the sky and measuring the number of fortunes.

Xiao Qianye saw three tall buildings almost parallel to the clouds from a distance, and couldn't help but wonder, Emperor Tianquan usually summoned him in the temple, why did he choose to pick up the stars this time?

In front of the Star Picking Tower, the usher had already prepared the ladder and said respectfully: "Your Majesty is already waiting for you upstairs, Pavilion Master, please." ”

He stepped on one step, and the chain at the other end of the ladder had begun to pull, but after a while, the top steps of the Star Picking Tower appeared in front of him, it was obviously noon, but the top of the Star Picking Building was dim, the cold wind was cold, and the candle flame lit in the room did not move at all, and he noticed the central figure, Xiao Qianye was interrupted by Emperor Tianquan with a wave of his hand before he could salute, and the emperor motioned for him to go over, and ordered someone to close the door.

He swept around with his afterglow, and Prince Mingxi sat next to the emperor, looking at him with a smile.

"Come, sit down. Prince Mingxi beckoned him over, there were only two of them in the huge star-picking tower, and the emperor leaned against the window, looking at the empty sky of the imperial capital.

The emperor in front of him, no matter when he faced the saint, he never felt the breath of the so-called "tyrant" in him, he was like a kind middle-aged man, always a dull appearance.

However, it is this emperor who once killed his father and brother, usurped the throne and seized power, and insisted on slaughtering foreigners.

"Come on. He finally turned his face, his pale golden eyes were a little more vicissitudes than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and as soon as he opened his mouth, it was another word that made him dare not ponder easily, "Pavilion Master Xiao, I have worked hard for you this time." ”

"His Majesty was disappointed by the dereliction of duty of his subordinates and their failure to complete their tasks. Xiao Qianye didn't dare to reply easily.

"You can't be blamed on everything. Emperor Tianquan glanced at Prince Mingxi lightly, "These words should have been said again at tomorrow's bipolar meeting, since Mingxi came to me in person, I don't mind giving you another chance." ”

How much do father and son know about each other? Are they really ignorant of anything, or are they testing each other?

Xiao Qianye's eyes were serious, and Emperor Tianquan was also quietly observing his reaction-except for those eyes that were as impressive as electricity, he was really as stable as Mount Tai without showing a trace of panic.

"Heh......" The emperor laughed silently, and continued, "The matter of Cang Shark is a dereliction of duty in the Star Sacrifice Palace, and the 100,000 lives cannot be borne by the Military Pavilion alone, but the two fugitives are dead and missing, and I can't ignore this." ”

His tone was steady, but the address to himself was the "I" commonly used by ordinary people, but Xiao Qianye could clearly feel the weight of the emperor's words, so heavy that he didn't dare to make a sound.

He took another fold and handed it to Xiao Qianye, and said, "But before deciding, this is a report from the Star Sacrifice Palace early in the morning, and the Xiao Pavilion Lord needs to explain the above issues first." ”

Xiao Qianye took the excerpt from the emperor's hand, the Star Sacrifice Palace has a star platform in the four surrounding cities, and it is indeed possible to observe the situation in the territory to a certain extent, the senior brother is well aware of this and will tell Yun Xiao not to use the sword spirit easily, because Kunlun's sword spirit is the key target of Feiyuan, once it is discovered, it needs to be reported in the Star Sacrifice Palace first, and only after getting permission can it continue to stay in Feiyuan.

The first problem on that excerpt was that Si Xingtai, located in the territory of Yudu, discovered the sword spirit aura other than the Likong Sword!

"Those are indeed two of my classmates. Xiao Qianye replied truthfully, catching a glimpse of Prince Mingxi's meaningful eyes, and said, "Some children are just private matters, I have persuaded them to go back, please forgive your majesty." ”

"Is it a private matter for children?" Emperor Tianquan was not surprised, and nodded lightly, "A few years ago, I intended to marry the fifth princess to you, but you refused, do you really have a sweetheart for a long time?"

"Let Your Majesty laugh. He hurriedly bowed his head, and Emperor Tianquan said again, "It's okay, it's normal for children to be long, you don't have to be so rejecting people thousands of miles away, Feiyuan really doesn't welcome outsiders, but if it's your sweetheart, sooner or later it's your own person, don't you say?"

“......”

"The Star Sacrifice Palace also reported that there are a few rare spiritual powers that have never been seen before appearing on the Biluo Sea, have you seen it?" he continued to ask, without delving into it.

"There are indeed three kinds of spiritual powers. Xiao Qianye answered, without any hesitation, he knew that it was unwise to lie at this time, but he couldn't be truthful, so he had to compromise and say vaguely, "The Feng Ji of the Lingfeng Clan once appeared on the sea, and the Cang Shark also escaped the seal, but another ...... Forgive the subordinates for their incompetence and inability to judge the identity of the other party. ”

"Hmm. Emperor Tianquan waved his hand, as if he had already guessed that he would answer like this, "The fugitives are dead and missing, the North Shore City has suffered 100,000 casualties, and the cangyu has escaped, it is reasonable, I am going to punish you severely, and it is even enough for you to be dismissed and apologize, however, Mingxi came to intercede with me, it is not easy for the emperor to cultivate a candidate for the head of the military pavilion, I thought about it and decided to give you another chance." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. He secretly clenched his fists, and Emperor Tianquan glanced at the crown prince, "Mingxi, say it yourself." ”

"Good. "Prince Mingxi just spoke, "One of the ten generals of the military pavilion, Xiao Yibai, a major general of the White Tiger Legion, has only been in office for two days, and there is some bad news in the territory of the Jialuo Crying Snow Plateau, there is an alien sneak attack on the third detachment of the White Tiger, in a vain attempt to recapture the White Sect General Altar Qianji Palace, although it is only a rabble, but this is the first time in so many years, and it must be dealt with seriously in order to play the role of killing chickens and monkeys. ”

Xiao Qianye raised his eyes and looked at His Royal Highness the Prince, although he knew that the prince had the heart to protect him, but how to protect it, to what extent, the prince did not say.

In the face of his half-sibling Lan Xin, he did not hesitate to kill him, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a soft-hearted person.

If one day you lose your use value to him, most of them will end up in a similar situation, right?

Prince Mingxi continued: "That alien race is one of the seventy-two tribes in the past, called the Holy Moon Clan, it has quite a status among the alien races, and it is also a race that once served the Moon God, I would like to ask the military pavilion master to go over in person and arrest the leader of the other party to set an example." ”

Xiao Qianye was silent, and the Holy Moon Clan ...... Isn't this the race of the woman who was saved by the big brother in Haishi?

"However, there is still a shortage of generals in the White Tiger Legion, and it is still necessary to select a new successor as soon as possible. The prince hurriedly reminded again, "According to the usual practice, the autumn election of the military pavilion will not start until next month, but the matter is urgent, I have ordered Minister Zuo to start selecting suitable talents in the eighth hall of the military aircraft from now on, and start the autumn election in advance in seven days, the military pavilion master, I will give you the punishment of suspending for three months, these three months, if you can pacify the Holy Moon Clan, you can be reinstated, if you still fail...... I won't be able to save you a second time. ”

Prince Mingxi had something to say, Xiao Qianye hurriedly replied, "My subordinates understand." ”

His mission to North Shore City this time was almost complete, but Prince Mingxi only gave a three-month suspension, which was too light!

"What does the emperor think?" The crown prince turned to look at Emperor Tianquan, the emperor's eyes were still silently looking at the sky, and said lightly, "It's good that you decide, the world will be yours sooner or later." ”

Prince Mingxi laughed silently, and at that moment, he saw the gloomy outline of Emperor Tianquan from the corner of his eye, as if he was shrouded in indescribable loneliness, which made him feel cold to the bone marrow.

The father didn't say a word about Cang Shark, as if the sea demon who escaped had nothing to do with him.

Obviously, everyone is playing on the spot, but this father doesn't care at all whether he shows flaws, and he doesn't care what his son wants to do or what he wants.

At this moment, a slight mechanical sound came from the door, and then a strange voice came: "Your Majesty, the Star Saintess asks to see you." ”

"Come in. Emperor Tianquan's eyes lit up slightly, and the Star Saintess who walked slowly at the door knelt down from afar, and Emperor Tianquan waved his hand at Xiao Qianye and Prince Mingxi, "You all go back, I still have something to talk to the Holy Maiden." ”

"Father...... Emperor Mingxi hesitated, but he couldn't find a reason to stay, so he couldn't help but wring his hands hard and gritting his teeth.

The identity of the Star Saintess has always been a mystery.

The Sun Saintess of Lansun Tower is from the Great Oblivion City and is a respected priestess who has served the Sun Temple for many years, while the Moon Saint of Moon Tower is from the East Underworld and is the chief astrologer of Butterfly Valley.

But she is the only saint who can be summoned by her father alone, and the star-picking building where she is located is also one of the few places where her father will come to rest.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, is there already a list of this year's autumn selections?" Xiao Qianye woke up Prince Mingxi without moving, and secretly reminded, "Can you let your subordinates take a look first?"

"Hmm......" Prince Mingxi naturally understood the meaning of his words, and said, "Father, the son and son have retired first." ”

"Go ahead. Emperor Tianquan waved his hand again, a little impatient.

At the moment when Xiao Qianye and Prince Mingxi left the Star Picking Tower, the two of them glanced at the Star Saintess in the room in unison—they saw Emperor Tianquan leave his seat, bend down, and take the initiative to help her up.

The two exchanged glances, didn't dare to stay longer, and hurriedly walked down the ladder.

"It's good that you didn't lie to him just now. Prince Mingxi breathed a sigh of relief, secretly afraid, "I'm actually very worried, worried that you will lie and deceive him in order to keep your fellow disciples, in that case, even the gods will not be able to save you......"

"Of course I know that you can't lie, Your Majesty is not easily deceived. Xiao Qianye was not surprised, and asked rhetorically, "But His Highness thinks he will really believe you?"

"I don't think so. Prince Mingxi's reaction was far beyond his expectations, and he smiled bitterly, "Frankly speaking, since I learned the truth from Lan Xin's mouth, I have become more and more unclear about him, I thought he just wanted to fly to the sky, or for eternal life, but now that I think about it, my father doesn't seem to care about these at all, and he doesn't care if I'm lying to him, if he and the Night King really join forces, then he knows far more than that, but I don't dare to guess if he really doesn't know, or deliberately pretends not to know......"

"Your Highness, it's better to find out as soon as possible, right? After all, ...... You are the one who wants to usurp power. ”

"Also, what I know about him...... Too little. He lowered his voice, "But I care about the spell Lan Xin said, that's what he's really for." ”

"What is the purpose of Your Highness sending me to Garo?"

"It's just to find a reason to save you, there aren't many people in the Holy Moon Clan, they will evacuate after you go, Jia Luo and his party will not fail, but it's not enough, this can only let you resist, it can't be regarded as your meritorious service, if you want to keep the position of the military pavilion master, in addition to suppressing the Holy Moon Clan, you must also bring Shen Yue back." ”

“......”

"Shen Yue is no longer useful to Yun Xiao. Prince Mingxi reminded, "As far as I'm concerned, I already know that dusty history, and I won't lose anything by exchanging the stability of the military pavilion with something that is no longer useful, right?"

"You are also worthy of being the crown prince, so shrewd, and somewhat similar to Your Majesty. Xiao Qianye muttered a few words casually - the similarity between this father and son is actually terrifying.

"Are you praising me or are you scolding me?" Prince Mingxi was helpless, and suddenly looked back at the top of the Star Picking Tower, with a serious expression, "This Star Holy Maiden, there must be something wrong with being able to assist King Jialan in lifting the seal of the Cang Shark, and allowing his father to treat him so specially." ”

Xiao Qianye pursed her lips and shook her head: "Let the Wind Demon investigate, His Highness needs to find out as soon as possible, but there is not only one Star Saintess." ”

"Definitely. Prince Mingxi thought about it, and turned the jade wrench in his hand.

"Where did he go?" Xiao Qianye pointed to his jade wrench, frowned, and the prince smiled awkwardly, "Naturally, I'm going back to Jialuo, the Holy Moon Clan wants to sneak attack the third detachment of the White Tiger, and I can't do it without him leading the way......"

“......”

"Okay, you go back to the military pavilion first to deal with the autumn election, although it is suspended, you still have to do it, and I will inform you separately when the wind demon finds out the other things." Afraid that he would be angry, Prince Mingxi made an excuse and quickly parted ways.
