In the elegant seat on the second floor of Tianxiang Building, not far from the imperial city, an old man in gray clothes and white hair and a young man in brocade clothes pretended to drink tea while watching the smoke billowing and flames flying in the direction of the palace. Outside of this seat, there are soundproofing prohibitions.

The young man in brocade said with excitement in his eyes: "Grandpa, you are really extraordinary, you go deep into the palace like entering a no-man's land, you are worthy of being the head of our Di family." ”

The Di family is also one of the four major immortal cultivation families in the Han Dragon Empire, and this old man's name is Di Feng, who is the twenty-fifth generation of the Di family's head of the third layer of cultivation, but he is more than two hundred years old. And this brocade-clothed boy is Di Feng's youngest grandson named Di Guang, who is only in his twenties this year, but he has successfully built a foundation, so he is deeply loved by his grandfather.

Di Guang said: "Grandpa, do you want to give the little emperor a dismount?"

Di Feng smiled slightly and said: "Grandson, you are still too simple-minded, our Di family is the weakest in the four major immortal cultivation families, and some time ago we lost a piece of Yuanjing ore." I think that our Di family had a Yuan Infant Monk back then, but now there are only two Jiedan monks, do you know why?"

Di Guang said: "First, the talent is insufficient, and there is no very excellent genius with a spiritual root, and secondly, our Di family has fewer and fewer resources to control. ”

Di Feng nodded with satisfaction and said: "Back then, the Hanlong Empire was strong, and the territory area was ten times that of now, and the Xiuxian family of the Hanlong Empire controlled more resources, and later the territory of the Hanlong Empire became increasingly narrow, and the internal disputes within the court continued, and the various Xiuxian families killed each other in order to compete for limited resources. ”

Di Guang shook his head and said: "Grandpa, I don't understand, if we want to take refuge in the imperial court, how can we set fire to the palace, I thought that grandpa wanted to give the little emperor a good look." ”

Di Feng said: "I took Yi Rong Dan when I burned the palace, and no one knew that it was me, you said that the little emperor would think who did it." ”

Di Guang said: "It's probably the Prime Minister's Yu Dang and the people of the Xiuxian family." ”

Di Feng said: "Yes, but the first thing that comes to mind is not the four major immortal cultivation families, but the two who have enmity with him, so that in the case of internal and external troubles, Huang Tian will envelop some immortal cultivation families, and at this time, our Di family will rise." ”

Di Guang said: "Grandpa is really smart, how did grandpa calculate that there are no monks in the palace today." ”

Di Feng said: "Naturally, someone reported to grandpa, and Ren Huangtian was extremely smart, and he would never have imagined that my chess piece was buried ten years ago." ”

......

In the imperial city, Huang Tianduan sat on the dragon chair of the Jinluan Palace, Sun Wukong and Yang Guo stood on both sides, and the lovesick people sat on the side, and the civil and military officials didn't even dare to breathe. Huang Tian's thunder means have all been seen by all the ministers, although the person is not big, but he has already cultivated in the Dan period, and he copied the prime minister's house with thunder. This time the palace caught fire, it was deliberately done by someone, although it only burned the side hall, and the fire was put out in time, but this was a challenge to the imperial prestige.

Huang Tian broke the silence: "Where is Captain Si Li?"

In the Hanlong Empire, the commander of the division was the commander of the Zhengsanpin Division, who was a secret inspector who supervised the capital and the surrounding places of the capital, and sometimes also commanded the city defense of the capital, and generally commanded 1,200 monks.

Captain Wu Qiong stepped forward and knelt on the ground: "Minister Wu Qiong see Your Majesty." ”

Huang Tiandao: "The imperial city was burned, and Aiqing could catch the arsonist thief." ”

Wu Qiong kowtowed and said, "The minister has ordered the whole city to search for him. ”

Huang Tian took the case: "It's not a big deal to burn the palace this time, but next time it's going to be my head." ”

Wu Qiong said: "The crime of the minister deserves death." ”

Huang Tian sneered: "You don't have to die, it's enough to die once." ”

Wu Qiong's legs weakened and said, "Please Your Majesty give the minister a chance." ”

Huang Tiandao: "Come on, Wu Qiong, the captain of Sili, neglected his duties, causing the palace to catch fire, and the crime is extremely evil, and now Wu Qiong is dismissed as a citizen and will never be hired." ”

Wu Qiong suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty has exempted me Wu Qiong easily, but it is difficult to find someone like me Wu Qiong." ”

Wu Qiong's words are not an exaggeration, although Wu Qiong was promoted by the general Li Yan, and used this position to help Li Yan entrap the party and catch the handle of hundreds of officials. Wu Qiong glanced at Dali Siqing with his eyes, and because Dali Siqing had a handle in Wu Qiong's hands, he had to step forward and say: "Please allow Captain Sili to make meritorious contributions to his crimes, and besides, no one in my dynasty can replace Wu Qiong." ”

Huang Tiandao: "Who said that there is no one to replace, I have appointed Sun Wukong as the captain of Si Li." ”

The ministers could not be dissuaded at all.

Wukong doesn't know how to investigate cases at all, but in fact, Wukong prefers to be a general than investigating cases.

Wu Qiong stood up and said: "Your Majesty, if this Monkey King can find out about the arson case in the palace within three days, I will be convinced, otherwise Your Majesty will chill the hearts of the soldiers of the three armies." "These words are obviously to tell Huang Tian that my official was appointed by Li Yan.

Huang Tiandao: "Wu Qiong, don't you understand? Why didn't Li Yan come to the court, and he also agreed with me to kill the prime minister, this is because Li Yan has seen through the key to this, that is, Li Yan, the great general, is the general of the Hanlong Empire, and now that I have recovered the imperial power, do you think Li Yan will still care about you if he doesn't seek self-protection?"

Wu Qiong trembled, and hurriedly kowtowed: "The grass people understand, the grass people retreat." ”

Huang Tiandao said to the ministers: "You wait and retreat." ”

The ministers saluted and said, "The ministers are leaving." ”

Wenren lovesick knelt in front of Huang Tian and said, "Please Your Majesty help the little girl return to the country." ”

Huang Tiandao: "It's not that I don't want to help, but when I first took the imperial power, everything was in ruins, and besides, there was no personal affection between countries, only interests." ”

Wen Ren said lovely: "The little woman has 200,000 yuan of spar that is willing to be dedicated to His Majesty as military expenses." Although Your Majesty now has two major monks in the Dan period, if these two monks want to form a Yuan Baby, they need a large number of Yuan Crystals. As he spoke, he took off his storage bracelet.

Huang Tiandao: "This can only be regarded as military spending, what is the benefit if it is done?"

Wen Ren said lovely: "Tianyu is willing to cede a county of land to the Hanlong Empire. ”

Huang Tiandao: "Sacrifice and war are major events of the country, let me think about it, please go to the envoy to rest first." ”

Hearing this, he gritted his teeth and said: "If you can restore the country, Tianyu is willing to be a vassal country, and pay tribute every year." ”

Huang Tian saw that the heat was almost over, what Huang Tian wanted was not these things, but to establish authority, a monarch who really embodied his majesty was definitely a foreign war, and expanding the territory was the way to quickly enhance his prestige.

Huang Tian picked up Wen Ren and said, "I promise you to send troops within three months to help you restore the country." ”

Hearing the lovesickness, he thanked him and retreated.

Wukong said to Huang Tian: "Did Your Majesty really ask Lao Sun to check the arsonist?"

Huang Tiandao: "Arsonist, this fire has a deep meaning, it is just a warning and not to hurt me, I just changed the captain of Si Li because of the situation, and I will find someone to assist you immediately." ”

Wukong said: "Then Lao Sun will be relieved." ”

Huang Tiandao: "Now improving your strength is the last word, give you and Yang Guo all kinds of 200,000 yuan spars, you two cultivate diligently, and you must be promoted to the fifth layer of the Jiedan within two months." ”

At this time, I heard the sound of footsteps in a hurry, and I heard the eunuch report: "Your Majesty, the border pass is eight hundred miles urgent." ”

Huang Tiandao: "Present it." ”

The eunuch handed it to Huang Tian, and Huang Tian opened it to see that the guards of Tianshui County, an important border town, rebelled.
