Chapter 32: An Amazing Secret
"Report, Daomen Water Sect Elder Lu Fang, come to see you!"
Suddenly, the morning court, full of civil and military officials, couldn't help but hold their breath, they knew that what was supposed to come had come after all.
Jiang Ling, the emperor of the Yan Kingdom who was sitting on the throne, couldn't help but light up when he heard this, but he quickly covered it up again. As an emperor who has been in the dynasty for decades, how could he show his true thoughts on his face?
He looked at His Highness's report guards, and said unhurriedly: "Okay, then go and invite Lu Fangdao to enter the hall." ”
As soon as he heard this, some people couldn't bear it at the moment, and bowed down and stood up: "Your Majesty, the minister has the courage to propose, this is the period of the early dynasty. The minister thinks that he is a cultivator from a foreign family, and it is inappropriate to invite him into the temple!"
Jiang Ling's face was expressionless, as if nothing could arouse his emotions: "Oh? So, I'm thinking too much. Originally, I planned to discuss the land side with the ministers in the early court. Since Master Chang proposed so, then it would be fine, and then I could make a separate decision. ”
"This ......" Master Chang suddenly grimaced, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
At this time, standing on the other side, Cheng Yongzhi glanced at Master Chang coldly, and scolded secretly: "It's really a waste that has more than enough to do, and it is so easy to lose the battle." Hmph, it seems that I need to change my allies. ”
"Your Majesty, Weichen does not agree with Lord Chang's point of view. Let's not talk about what Lu Fangdao means by coming, let's just say that a few days ago, he did his work in destroying demons in my country's acropolis, so it was necessary to invite him into the palace. If even such a meritorious person is turned away, then shouldn't my Yanguo become a laughing stock for outsiders?" Cheng Yongzhi proposed without humility or arrogance.
When the rest of the officials heard this, they all nodded in agreement: "Yes, General Cheng's words are reasonable, and I can't ruin the name of my Yanguo because of such a trivial matter!"
"The minister also thinks that this is the best, and listen to what the Lu Daoist means, we can also make some suggestions for Your Majesty. ”
Jiang Ling waved his hand a little impatiently: "Okay, okay, Hugh has to discuss it again, this matter has been decided, so please invite Daoist Lu in." ”
"Yes!" the guard bowed in response, and quickly withdrew from the temple.
Unconsciously, there was an irrepressible excitement in Jiang Ling's eyes, and even his body slowly leaned down, sinking deep into the throne. Only at this time can I slightly realize that this seemingly tough and wise emperor has actually lost his majesty in the past, and the white hair between his sideburns fully shows that he is no longer young.
Soon, Jiang Ling's eyes noticed that a person outside the main hall walked in quickly, and at first sight, the land side brought him a feeling like a spring breeze. Although Lu Fang's face seemed to be only in his early thirties, Jiang Ling already knew that the two were actually born in the same year.
I saw Lu Fang come to the bottom of the main hall, standing in the center of the hundred officials on both sides, and bent down: "Daomen Water Sect Lu Fang, come to meet Your Majesty!"
Jiang Ling showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, and raised his hand lightly: "Lu Dao Chang is exempt, you have been tired all the way on this trip, and you have also killed demons and demons for the people of my Acropolis on the way, which really brings me a great gift." ”
"I still remember that when you and I first met, we were only teenagers. This time is in a hurry, and in a blink of an eye, I have gray hair, but Lu Daochang's demeanor is still the same, it can be seen that in recent years, Daochang has achieved success, congratulations. ”
Although Lu Fang was a little puzzled by Jiang Ling's sudden overture, he still bowed down and replied: "Your Majesty has a good reputation, and I am only a beginner now, how dare I call it a success." As for the matter of the Acropolis rat demon, Your Majesty does not need to praise it, after all, I think that no one with a chivalrous heart will sit idly by, not to mention that my Daomen is also committed to subduing demons and eliminating demons. ”
"Could it be that the Dao Elder looks down on me, the Emperor of the Yan Kingdom, if he can't even distinguish rewards and punishments, what is the point of me as the emperor?"
As soon as these words came out, where did Lu Fang dare to say anything, otherwise he would really be suspected of contempt for the imperial power. "Your Majesty is serious, Lu Fang naturally doesn't mean this, but thinks that the merit is slight, and it is not enough to talk about rewards. ”
Jiang Ling smiled with satisfaction: "This matter is not in a hurry, a few days ago, I received a letter from your sect Zhang Tianshi, mentioning that Daoist Lu will come today, but the letter does not say what the so-called matter, it is better for Daoist Lu to talk to me first." ”
Suddenly, the faces of several people in the hall changed drastically, the meaning of His Majesty's words, this year has made it clear that he wants to stand on the side of the Daomen, and it is unfortunate that the Daomen has made a contribution not long ago, and he can take this opportunity to get closer to the relationship and promote the results of the discussion.
As for His Majesty's mouth of not knowing the specific intentions of the Daomen, it is even more of a lie with his eyes open, Jiang Ling has maintained the throne for decades, how can his mind be simple, how can he not figure out the other party's purpose?
Although everyone knows it, who dares to say this kind of thing? Isn't that too long!
Unlike these people, there are still some ministers in the palace who seem to be ecstatic, for His Majesty's such an open and upright protection, how can they, the anti-martial arts people, not be excited?
Of course, the complex psychology of these people is not known to the Lu side, but he is not a fool, and he also knows that if he says this in front of the Chinese military officials of the palace, he will inevitably be hostile to some high-ranking officials.
But so what, before going down the mountain, the Lu side had already expected this result, and he naturally wouldn't back down because of this: "Tell Your Majesty, this time the Lu side came to discuss it." Your Majesty, do you remember that a few days ago, I joined forces with Qin Lan, the general of the Acropolis, to exterminate the rat demon?"
Seeing that he mentioned this matter again, Jiang Ling's brows furrowed slightly: "I naturally remember, is it ...... What's not going to be true?"
"Exactly. Lu Fang's face instantly became serious: "It's just that this matter is so important, I can't and dare not leak this matter, so I must come to see Your Majesty in person to inform you." ”
"Hmph, Daoist Lu Fang, please don't make a fool of yourself in the main hall and say some alarmist things. Think about the strength of my Yan Country, how else can it be so serious?" said a man on the right side with a tiger's back and a bear's waist.
Jiang Ling glanced at him coldly: "General Yang, there is no trivial matter in the world, if you are so careless and reckless in the future, maybe I should consider sending you to the frontier to exercise." ”
After that, he no longer paid attention to General Yang, who was suddenly discolored, and turned his head to look at Lu Fang, his expression full of solemnity: "Dao Chief, what happened? ”
"Your Majesty, the demon clan of a thousand years ago is about to reappear in the world!" Lu Fang took a deep breath and said slowly.
"Lu Fang, in front of His Majesty, how dare you talk nonsense!" Before Lu Fang's words fell, a group of people jumped out to refute him fiercely.
"Lu Fang, do you know what this means by saying this, how can such a big event be a child's play?"
In the face of the uproar, Jiang Ling didn't care about it at the moment, but his expression was even more gloomy: "Daoist Lu Fang, this matter ...... How sure can you be? Also, Zhang Tianshi, does he also know about this?"
Lu Fang bowed slightly, and said, "At least eight points convinced, after I learned the news, I have also privately sent the news back to the sect, and I must have learned it at this moment." ”
Eight points......
As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly fell silent. Eight points of conviction, this is not much different from the conclusion!
Could it be that the terrifying demon clan thousands of years ago is really going to reappear in the world?
