Hongtai, the emperor of Dashang, has only been on the throne for a few years, and the tragedy of the battle for the heir is still in front of him. Among the several princes of the former emperor, only he and King Ping are now left.

The royal surname is Hong, and his real name is Hongtai. Ping Wang Hongan is the brother of his mother's compatriots, and he has been cowardly by nature since he was a child.

Emperor Hongtai was also soft-hearted for a while, so he let this brother survive.

But if it is peaceful today, it is inevitable that brothers will be separated in the future, not to mention, the heavenly family does not talk about family affection.

When the matter of the Tianlong faction's overseas search for immortals was spread all over the world, it naturally couldn't hide it from Emperor Hongtai's ears and eyes. So, Hongtai had a plan. Let this brother go overseas with these Jianghu people, it is naturally good to find the elixir. can't find it, and it can be regarded as an explanation for the emperor.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Ping has come to meet you!" a courtier stood under the corridor and reported in a high-pitched voice.

"Let him in!"

As an emperor, he has supreme majesty. For his own brother, he is also a high deity. The territory of the Great Shang Dynasty belongs to him alone, and thousands of living beings are also survived by his life. This is the power of being an emperor, and he holds the supreme authority of the world. He will hold all this firmly in his hands, and will not allow others to touch it, not even the slightest peeping.

Emperor Hongtai walked to the only dragon chair in the main hall and sat down, and the imperial momentum that looked at the world was spontaneous.

"Brother has seen the royal brother!"

King Ping'an and the emperor looked very similar, but he was younger, and now he was only in his early twenties, and his body was slightly thin.

Walking into the main hall, Hong'an looked respectful, bowed deeply to his emperor's brother, and then bowed to the old man who sat down: "I've seen the real person who protects the country!"

"Hehe, Hong'an, there are no outsiders here, you and my brother don't need to be formal!" Hongtai said gently, but his body sat upright and there was no smile on his face.

The old man only bowed slightly, and spat out lightly with a flat expression: "Poor Dao has seen His Highness." After that, he closed his eyes and said nothing.

Hong'an turned a blind eye to this, and said respectfully: "Since ancient times, the young and the old have been orderly, and the courtesy of the monarch and the minister dare not be abolished! I don't know what the imperial brother has to call the courtiers to come?"

Looking at the slightly pedantic brother in front of him, Emperor Hongtai snorted secretly and said: "I don't know how many tens of thousands of miles of sea to go, the difficulties and dangers are immeasurable, I don't know if you have any plans for Hongan?"

Hongan lowered his head and said: "The younger brother has packed up, and he has also sent someone to contact this Jianghu sect in advance, and now they live in Siping Pavilion." Now everything is ready, just wait for the emperor's brother to make an order, and the courtier's brother will go overseas to ask for the elixir for our emperor!"

People who are knowledgeable and interested always live longer. Emperor Hongtai nodded and said, "Seeking the elixir overseas cannot be obtained without great perseverance and great opportunity. This is far away, you are so self-conscious!"

When Hong'an heard this, he knelt down with a "poof", his eyes were slightly red, and he choked up: "Thank you for the compassion of the imperial brother, I'm afraid that the younger brother will never see the imperial brother again, and I hope the imperial brother will take care of himself!"

Hongtai frowned, waved his hand expressionlessly, and said, "On a rainy day, I will give you an order to set off." The family has my own I will take care of you, so you can go in peace!" With that, he got up and turned away.

Hong'an's head slammed down and "banged" on the floor tiles, making the distant Emperor Hongtai pause slightly, and then walked away without looking back.

"Well——! why bother to come here? It's all for the good of Your Highness! If you seek the return of the elixir, it will also be a great achievement. Why should Your Highness bother about this?" The old man in Taoist attire sighed faintly, his body slowly floated from the dragon couch, and his feet left the main hall without getting dust.

"Thank you for the real person!" Hongan got up and hurriedly thanked the old man's back, and then wiped the tears on his face, and his sad expression turned into resentment.

......

In a secluded alley in the southeast of the capital, in an inconspicuous courtyard, rain splashes from the eaves of the hall.

Under the flower hall, Meng Shan bowed to a white-bearded old man and said: "His Royal Highness King Ping wants to travel with us, it is the will of the emperor today, and the disciples dare not push it, so they come to report, and they must be decided by the uncle!"

The old man who was like a houseman bowed his head slightly and said: "In the eyes of the royal family, the Tianlong faction is just a reckless person in the rivers and lakes. Since the destiny is difficult to violate, and the matter has come to this, it can be regarded as a good fate, and it is not without benefit to me, you promise. ”

"Yes!" Monsan replied respectfully.

The old man raised his eyes to look at the quiet courtyard and asked, "Is everything arranged?" As he spoke, he sighed and said to himself: "I sold this old bone to the Tianlong Sect, and I don't know if I can bring you juniors back!"

"Uncle Shi rest assured, everything has its own disciple arrangement. Also, Uncle Shi is a fairy-like person, and the juniors still rely on your old man for this trip!" Meng Shan replied, completely devoid of his previous bold and domineering demeanor, only cautious restraint.

The old man chuckled lightly and said, "Okay, the future is uncertain, the old man should do his best for you and his descendants." You wait all the way, it's going well!"

Monsan briefly told him what he had encountered on the way, and whenever he was in trouble, he was always embarrassed, so he did not send a fireworks signal to warn.

When it came to being trapped in the wolves and the disputes of the grassland tribes, Monsan's heart couldn't help but move, and the figure of the young man appeared in front of him again.

"Monsan, what's wrong with you?" the old man asked in a deep voice.

Monsan, who was deep in thought, hurriedly came back to his senses. He didn't dare to hide it, and he was busy revealing all the doubts and thoughts in his heart.

When the old man heard this, his long eyebrows spread, and his eyes flashed and disappeared. He held his long beard in his hand and muttered for a moment, and said, "A disciple of raising horses, so young, his strength is not inferior to that of your Mengshan. In the face of crisis, he is calm and unhurried, and always resolves the crisis invisibly when it is not easy to be noticed! It seems that this son has no ill will towards the Tianlong faction! It is your Mengshan's doing, which is unsatisfactory!"

"Uncle Shi taught me a lesson!" Meng Shan was puzzled, but he still lowered his head honestly.

The old man's face suddenly sank, then he shook his head again, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "How can such a young junior be that person?

Meng Shan hesitated in his heart, but still said: "The disciple suspects that this person has bad intentions, and uses the acceptance of disciples as a temptation. Sure enough, this son was unmoved. Therefore, the disciple thought that ......"

"Although you Monshan have your eyes on the heights, you are also biased. This son is not bad, if it can be sharpened for a few years, it can be of great use. As an elder in the door, you shoulder the heavy responsibility of this trip, not only to prevent the slightest slight, but also not to chill people's hearts! If you are really a person with ill intentions, there is an old man here, and it will not hurt!"

The old man interrupted Meng Shan's words, got up slowly, and in the face of the spring rain in the courtyard, he held his long beard and said: "I am about to go downstream, the sea is in sight, you and I have a long way to go!"
