Because it was already meal time, Mi Long, who was dressed in a tight dragon robe, was already sitting on the main seat with a smile on his face and waiting.

The luxurious hall is resplendent with gold, and the coolly dressed palace maids shuttle between the banquets, constantly adding drinks for those dignitaries. The main meal has not yet been served, because the distinguished guest Wu Qiutian has not yet come, so the seats on the left and right sides of Milong are empty.

Being seated by Milong's arm, this honor is not something that anyone can have, and many ministers have envy in their eyes.

The ministers did not dare to be jealous, and they also knew that the person sitting on the left hand side of the emperor was not something they could be jealous of.

Gong E, who showed her big white legs and half a little rabbit on her chest, held the plate on the table with her white hands, and her trembling appearance made people feel uneasy. However, those ministers have become commonplace on such occasions, and except for some children of the family who are looking around with a pair of thief eyes, no one makes jokes.

Sixteen cold dishes, thirty-two hot dishes, and nine fruit plates, the dishes are extremely rich, although each plate is terrifyingly large, but there is very little food in it, but it is still very happy to eat.

Whether monks or not, few people can resist the temptation of these delicacies.

The wine is the imperial wine of the imperial palace, which has been treasured by Milong for decades, and it is specially selected to store it in a place with heavy yin qi, and various elixirs and demon pills are added to the wine. Ordinary people often drink this kind of wine to prolong their lives, and monks can drink this kind of wine to speed up their cultivation, which is a rare good thing.

After three rounds of drinking, Mi Long took Wu Qiutian's arm and took the initiative to introduce to the ministers and family members below: "Everyone, Aiqing, I believe you have seen the text issued by the Heaven Breaking Alliance half a month ago. This person is the Heaven Breaking Alliance Lord Wu Qiutian, and I believe that many of you here are no strangers to him.

Back then, it was he who brought back the cold iron controlled by the Snow Mountain Sect from the bitter cold land of Saibei and from the strict monitoring of the God Emperor Valley.

It was also him who opened his mouth to my lion at the birthday banquet and asked for a lot of high-grade spirit stones.

I don't want to hide it from you, many of you are ordinary people, you don't know what the Millennium Tribulation means, I know that the Great Qin Empire, which dominated Kyushu back then, fell apart because of the advent of a Millennium Tribulation. Now the Qin State is still called the Qin State, but in our eyes it is the Western Qin, why? Because the former glory of the Great Qin Empire no longer exists.

Standing up for the breaking day, I Dachu welcome, warm welcome.

From today on, as long as the people of the Heaven-Breaking Gate do not do anything wrong in the territory of my Great Chu, no one shall be disrespectful to the Heaven-Breaking People. Violators will be executed!"

Milong's words shocked those families, in fact, he said this so that those families would not provoke the people who broke the sky.

Wu Qiutian's personality is not too familiar to him, but he also understands it, and knows that the other party is not a person who has nothing to do, but once things find him, I am afraid he will definitely not give up.

That's how the monk Zhiyuan of Buddhism died at the hands of Wu Qiutian.

It was also thanks to the arrival of Wu Qiutian that those sons of the family had the opportunity to meet His Majesty the Emperor, whom they might never see in their lifetime.

Mi Long pinched Wu Qiutian's arm hard, signaling him to say a few words, Wu Qiutian understood: "Everyone, Wu Mou adheres to the great luck and remembers the suffering of the people in the world, so he leads 100,000 people to break the sky, and takes it as his responsibility to punish evil and promote good. So you don't have to panic too much, if you encounter demons and monsters, please inform Zhirutang and Potian. ”

No one noticed that Zhou Xianru's body beside them trembled obviously.

Sitting down again, Wu Qiutian still remembered Zhou Xianru's strange behavior in his heart, and chatted with Milong, and talked about national affairs and family matters. Whether the people below are scared or other emotions, he doesn't want to care, and he can't control it.

"Huh, why didn't you see your brother and sister?" Wu Qiutian, who was playing with Milong, suddenly asked Zhou Xianru, who seemed to have something on his mind.

Zhou Xianru was stunned, and then said: "Oh, this kind of occasion is not suitable for women, she is at home!"

Wu Qiutian sighed, turned his head to Mi Long and said: "Your Majesty, this is yours, Nanchu is not a country with closed folk customs, Princess Xuelan is my brother and sister, how can you let her be alone at home!"

Although Mi Long wondered if his daughter didn't speak herself, when would it be your turn to speak. But in front of Wu Qiutian, he couldn't say these whining words.

Speaking of his daughter, he also felt a little strange, he whispered to Wu Qiutian: "It's strange to say, I haven't seen Lan'er for almost a year, after she quarreled with me last time, even if she asked Xianru to bring a message and a gift, she refused to see me." This child's temper had not been so stubborn before, and I don't know why, even when I came to her house in person, she didn't come out. ”

Wu Qiutian's heart moved, could it be that something happened to Princess Xuelan?

There was an oh in his mouth, but he looked at Zhou Xianru meaningfully.

Zhou Xianru can really be said to be suffering in the eyes of the two of them at the moment, his back has been wet with sweat, but his face is still calm. The face that was originally a little pale turned out to be an inexplicable unhealthy flush at this moment.

The banquet quickly dispersed, firstly, Emperor Milong had a lot of government affairs to deal with and could not accompany Wu Qiutian to enjoy himself, and secondly, Wu Qiutian himself wanted to go to Zhou Xianru's Prime Minister's Mansion as soon as possible to see what was going on.

"Let's go, Xianru, go back to our house, I haven't seen my brother and sister for a long time, you and my brother haven't talked about the old for a long time, go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, let's have a good drink." Wu Qiutian said while holding Zhou Xianru's shoulder.

His hand was very strong, as if he was afraid that Zhou Xianru would leave suddenly.

Zhou Xianru shrugged his shoulders, but he did not break away from Wu Qiutian's embrace, and Zhou Xianru, who looked a little embarrassed, had no choice but to smile bitterly: "Big brother, you can talk about the old sooner or later, don't be in a hurry." I see that the eldest brother has also drunk a lot of wine today, although they are all monks, but it takes time to refine if you drink too much wine, so let's do it next time!"

"Xianru, why haven't you seen each other for such a short time, and you and I have been separated a lot? Are you not welcome your eldest brother to your house as a guest? You also know that eldest brother has no place to stay in Wuling City, if even you refuse to take me in, then I really have nowhere to go. Wu Qiutian said deliberately.

His words are true, but there are spirit stones on his body, and he really doesn't have to worry about having nowhere to go, the reason why he said this is that he wants to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see what Zhou Xianru is hiding in his heart.

Zhou Xianru was a little flustered: "It's not that the younger brother doesn't welcome the eldest brother, but the humble house is shabby, and the identity of the eldest brother is not what it used to be, if you go to live in the Prime Minister's Mansion, I'm afraid it will make the eldest brother feel uncomfortable." ”

Wu Qiutian's eyes widened: "Zhou Xianru, what do you think of your eldest brother? Am I the kind of person who hates the poor and loves the rich? Even in the wilderness, your eldest brother can find a branch to sleep on, not to mention your dignified mansion of the prime minister of Southern Chu." Besides, between you and my brother, where do you get so much politeness, even if you sleep on your feet, your eldest brother will definitely not mind. ”

"That being said, it's really a little inconvenient for the younger brother's family. If the eldest brother wants to go, can he wait for tomorrow? Xue Lan is seriously ill, and I am afraid that the eldest brother will feel uncomfortable at that time. Zhou Xianru was determined not to let Wu Qiutian go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, which made Wu Qiutian even more determined in his thoughts.

He must have something unspeakable, otherwise he wouldn't have shirked it in every possible way.

It's not that he hasn't been to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhou Xianru is warmly invited every time, and he won't say anything kind every time. But this time the changes are so big that Wu Qiutian can't adapt to them at all.

Thinking of this, Wu Qiutian sighed: "Okay! Xianru, brother, I don't embarrass you, no matter what difficulties you have, the eldest brother can understand, but Xianru, as a monk, you shouldn't be this kind of physique, if you have any difficulties, you can tell the eldest brother, don't treat Wu Qiutian as a brother." ”

Zhou Xianru nodded vigorously, and then left in a hurry.

Looking at Zhou Xianru's distant back, Wu Qiutian fell into deep thought.

All of this is obviously related to Princess Xuelan, who has not appeared in public eye for a year, and with Zhou Xianru's character, it is unlikely that Princess Xuelan will refuse to visit because of her serious illness. The only possibility is that Zhou Xianru is afraid that he will see something after he goes to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

What's the secret?

Thinking about it, Wu Qiutian was still a little uneasy, and decided to go to Zhou Xianru's Prime Minister's Mansion tonight to find out. But before that, he still decided to find Milong first.

After all, this is Milong's territory, one is the prime minister of Nanchu, and the other is his favorite princess, if there is no Milong's people present, even if he finds any clues, it will be difficult to win people's trust.

Before Milong went to bed, Wu Qiutian was discovered before Milong's dormitory, and it was the heaven-level monk in the palace who discovered his whereabouts. Although Wu Qiutian's current cultivation can fight the Thunder Tribulation, his realm is only the peak of the earth level, and the realm is there, and it is still easy for ordinary heaven level masters to find out his whereabouts.

Listening to what the Heavenly Rank cultivator beside him said, Mi Long frowned: "He's back again?"

As soon as the words fell, the voice of the guards came from outside: "Your Majesty, the Lord of the Heaven Breaking Alliance, Wu Qiutian, asks to see you." ”

Mi Long smiled: "Why should the Lord of the Witch Alliance be so polite, just come in directly." ”

Wu Qiu Tianren did not appear, and the voice came first: "Haha, how dare you, Wu is afraid that the masters around Your Majesty will destroy me." ”

After the door of the dormitory opened and Wu Qiutian walked in, Mi Long asked curiously, "I don't know what is the important matter of the Wu Alliance Master's visit late at night?"

Wu Qiutian frowned and said: "Don't tell Your Majesty that this time Wu went and turned back because of Zhou Xianru." There was something wrong with Zhou Xianru at today's banquet, and then I heard that Princess Xuelan hadn't appeared for a year, so I felt that something was wrong, so I wanted to ask His Majesty for two people, so as to witness whether what Wu said was true or false. ”

A worried look climbed on Milong's face, and he also sensed that something was wrong, but Zhou Xianru was still able to handle government affairs during this time, so although he was suspicious, he hadn't taken action after all.

The two talked for a while, and two thin young men followed behind Wu Qiutian.
