The Eastern Emperor Tai generation of saints patrolled the border, and after returning to Beijing, he received the holy metaphor before entering the palace and ordered him to go to the Sword Sect to supervise the trial after half a month, and the emperor will reward the trial disciples together with the trial disciples after the trial.

Bai Mingshi was also in the Donghuang Taiyi Mansion, and was one of the first few people to know about this besides the Donghuang Taiyi.

"Someone must have slandered from the side, and the emperor will assign His Royal Highness, who has just returned from patrolling, to supervise the trial of the Sword Sect. ”

Although the Eastern Emperor Taiyi has become more and more important this year, he is still a concubine prince so far, and there is still half a step left behind the prince who is closer to the next level.

I wanted to take advantage of the patrol to return to Beijing, coupled with the military merits and reputation accumulated over the years, I sat in the position of the prince in one fell swoop, and the province had many long nights, so even if the East Palace or other princes wanted to fight the idea of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, it would not be easy.

I didn't expect that there would be a lot of resistance before it came closer. But the Holy Decree has been issued, and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi has no good way, so he can only hurry up and go to the Sword Sect, hoping that everything will go well in this trial and nothing will go wrong.

Halfway through, Fuzhong's cronies reported what happened in Jingzhong and the Sword Sect today.

Knowing that this year's trials were approaching, there were no outsiders from the rivers and lakes who had come up to the mountain to pay respects, and that Qiyuan had suddenly sent a herald, Donghuang Taiyi felt that something was wrong.

"The herald is a young man who is not very old, and his name seems to be Mu Sanqian. ”

"Wood three thousand?"

Donghuang Taiyi's expression froze when he heard these three words, it seemed to be a thing that had been in his memory for many years, but this name that had been deeply impressed in his memory was suddenly mentioned at this moment, and that memory seemed to penetrate the fog that had been sealed in Donghuang Taiyi's mind for a long time, and suddenly became clear.

Especially the desolation and bravery of the child named Mu Sanqian when he faced the giant python alone, and the helplessness and despair when he was worried about the red-clothed secret guard. Mu Sanqian's appearance gradually became unclear because of time, but the lonely and stubborn figure became more and more distinct.

Didn't that kid follow Zhang Mingjun, the head of Wudang, and how did he become Qiyuan's herald again?

Although he couldn't figure it out, no matter how much he guessed and speculated before seeing Mu Sanqian, he couldn't get a real answer, and Donghuang Taiyi simply stopped spending all his energy and speeding up.

At the foot of Shu Mountain, there is a disciple's courtyard, and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi is unimpeded.

On the observation tower on the east side of the school, I saw that Donghuang Taiyi rode into the school field one by one to stop Donghuang from having enemies, and Donghuang Taiyi naturally found a few people who had been staying out of the way to watch the excitement, and they had been competing with each other openly and secretly for many years, and they were really familiar.

"Wood three thousand?"

The disciples of the four courtyards were clearly dressed and stood together, so the four on the opposite side were a few messengers from Qi Yuan. Now it has been ten years since the white python in the dragon cave, think about it is also the white horse through the gap is not human, he pressed all and went to ten years of plotting, success or failure is no longer important, and in the end, if he dies, he will die in Xishu, so it's good.

The youngest of the four should be around fifteen or sixteen, so Donghuang Taiyi walked over and asked.

"Wood three thousand?"

"I haven't seen His Highness for many years and still remembers me, and I'm flattered. ”

The disciples of the Fourth Academy knew that Mu 3,000 or so people were actually messengers from Qiyuan, so it was enough to get off the stage, but they didn't expect that the famous Eastern Emperor Taiyi among the disciples of the Sword Sect seemed to have a friendship with them.

Although it was the son of Master Fan Zhe of the Ministry of War, they did kick the iron plate.

"The emperor ordered me to come to Shushan to supervise the trial first, and in addition to receiving the envoy of Qiyuan, I didn't expect it to be an old man. ”

"My lord, who is this?"

The Eastern Emperor Taiyi rushed over, and the attendants then shouted His Royal Highness arrived, and the previous investigation of Mu Sanqian did not know that he still had a relationship with the Xishu royal family. Mu Guiyun asked.

"Eastern Emperor Taiyi, His Royal Highness the Prince of Western Shu. I used to meet my master when I traveled abroad. ”

Mu Sanqian replied lightly, only saying that he was able to get to know him after traveling with his master, and the details of the Dragon Cave must not have been mentioned.

"Ten years have passed in a flash, and you will realize that time has really passed. ”

Mu Sanqian has grown from a child in his sixties and seventies to a young man, and the changes are the most obvious, but somehow Donghuang Taiyi seems to be quite emotional, and it seems to be far from the young man who didn't say a few words for a long time with a cold face ten years ago.

"You still haven't changed much, except that you talk a little more and your back bends a little. ”

"Haha, if the burden is heavy, it will naturally be pressed and unable to straighten the waist. ”

His Highness actually laughed?

Everyone present, including Donghuang Jiulin and others, who had been chasing after Donghuang Taiyi, could not find the moment when Donghuang Taiyi showed a smiling face in their memories. He has been a concubine since he was a child, and his mother has a humble status, if it weren't for the surname of Donghuang, it is estimated that he would not have known which stinky ditch he died in.

Even if it was discovered that he was talented and had made great achievements in the way of swordsmanship, and gradually received the attention of His Majesty the Emperor, he never saw his cold face ease slightly.

Now that he saw a herald from a foreign country, His Highness smiled.

It's incredible.

Donghuang Taiyi scattered the disciples of the four courtyards, and since Mu Sanqian had nothing to do with worshipping and sticking up the mountain, the disciples of the four courtyards were much less hostile.

Donghuang Taiyi instructed Donghuang Jiulin to go to the Elders' House to inform that Mu 3,000 and four people were moved from the disciple's courtyard to the other courtyard in the mountain gate of the Sword Sect.

Donghuang Jiulin has always stood firmly on the side of Donghuang Taiyi, and it was easy to wait until he went up the mountain but never found a chance to speak. It seems that Mu Sanqian has a lot of connections with His Royal Highness.

Moved to the other courtyard and waited for the Eastern Emperor Tai to see the sect master and the elders come back, Mu Sanqian was invited to His Royal Highness's palace, saying that it was to reminisce about the past.

Hongyi knew about Donghuang Taiyi and Gongzi, and he also knew that the two didn't have much friendship, so he didn't understand why Donghuang Taiyi was extremely enthusiastic when he saw Mu Sanqian. So Mu Sanqian went out with his attendants, and Hongyi followed his heels.

Yangshan Zhe and Mu Guiyun didn't think much about it, they stayed in the room and didn't come out.

The specifications of the prince's palace are naturally much higher than the room where Mu Sanqian stays. With a squeak, the attendant pushed open the vermilion gate, and Mu Sanqian walked in, stepping on the wool stall from the Western Regions under his feet. The attendant respectfully closed the door, and Mu Sanqian walked over and sent the first place, and there was no one else in the palace except for the Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

"This is wine from the Western Regions?"

At the low table, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi sat on the side, and on the table was a glass wine vessel that was rare even in the imperial palace in the capital, and it also contained the special wine of the Western Regions like blood.

"These are things you should be familiar with. ”

Donghuang Taiyi poured out a glass from the wine vessel, held it in his hand and shook it gently.

"These things were rare things in Xishu before, and they were hard to find. ”

"In that case, Your Highness is willing to share it with me, then I really want to thank Your Highness. ”

Compared with the others in Xishu, Donghuang Taiyi is still familiar, Mu Sanqian is not polite, anyway, he now has the identity of a herald envoy, and it is not bad.

"Things in the Western Regions are indeed rare for Qiyuan, Xishu and Northern Xinjiang, but they shouldn't be counted in Disha. ”

As soon as the Eastern Emperor sobered up, the wine was handed to Mu Sanqian for a glass.

"Disha is at the key point of the Central Plains and the Western Regions, so naturally you will see a lot, and His Royal Highness's sobering posture is also very good. ”

Mu Sanqian took the wine glass and put it under his nose, and at the same time muttered in his heart what kind of medicine was being sold in Donghuang Taiyi's gourd.

He is one of the few people who knows his identity, although the master in Dunhuang has spoken first, whether it is Song Zhiming of Qiyuan or Long Shu of Northern Xinjiang, they have promised not to tell Mu Sanqian's identity, but in Mu Sanqian's opinion, the only people who can keep secrets best are the dead.

"I promised Zhang Zhangjiao ten years ago that he would not take the initiative to tell your identity, so he would naturally abide by it. ”

As if seeing what Mu Sanqian was thinking, Donghuang Taiyi took the initiative to say.

"Then why did Your Highness call me here today?"

Donghuang Taiyi is so straightforward, Mu Sanqian also has something to say.

"I'll talk about that later, I don't know if it's inconvenient for you to tell the herald?"

Donghuang Taiyi is carrying too many things now, and those things that are as heavy as a mountain force him to grow, and he gradually becomes more cautious and colder.

"Oh, that's it. ”

Mu Sanqian thought about it, it seemed that with his current situation, even if he told Donghuang Taiyi, it would have no effect, he was a guy who even knew about his own family.
