After a night of drizzle, the air in the early morning was clearer, and there were merchants setting up stalls on the streets, and in the morning light, horse-drawn carriages rushed to the palace, clearly rushing to the officials of the court.

Zhao Xuan was not in a hurry, step by step, and walked slowly towards the palace. It wasn't until outside the palace that the sky was already bright, the morning sun was hanging high, and the purple clouds in the east were at the gate of the palace, and Zhao Xuan unhurriedly called the generals guarding the door to go in and report.

Zhao Xuan, who the general didn't know, or even if he did, it was impossible to let him in.

Hearing that Zhao Xuan said his life, he went in to report to the emperor.

Although Zhao Xuan is here to be a villain this time, the villain is also a guest, why don't you have to salute first and then soldier?

Soon, the general came out with a eunuch, and the eunuch asked, "Is it really in front of the Taixuan Half-Saint?"

Zhao Xuan smiled leisurely: "If you don't believe it, you can ask Liu Yuanzong to pick me up." ”

The eunuch said: "Lord Half-Saint is laughing, Lord Liu is also a Half-Saint now, and he is discussing important matters in the court, how can he leave without permission?"

The implication is that you are all half-saints, and you are still a half-saint without an official position, how can you let Liu Yuanzong greet you in person?

Zhao Xuan didn't need to be angry with a little eunuch, he still smiled at each other: "Liu Yuanzong can't come, it's okay to call the emperor to come." ”

The little eunuch's face finally changed, but Zhao Xuan's identity was there, let him yell at Zhao Xuan, he didn't dare, bowed and said: "Half saint don't worry, Your Majesty let the little one take you in, and after he finishes the government, he will go to the study to see you." ”

Zhao Xuandao: "Poor Dao is here for the court this time, and if you go to the study, you have to work with Emperor Lao and Liu Yuanzong to move." Then you don't have to bother. Wait for the poor road to go to the palace of the government. ”

"This ......," the little eunuch hesitated. Said: "The demi-saint master will come in with the little one first, and then the little one will let others pass it on." ”

No matter what, he can't afford to offend either side, and he doesn't dare to offend anyone.

Entering the palace and walking on the royal road, Zhao Xuan looked at both sides with great interest. Last time, I was in a hurry to go and go, I didn't take a closer look, I didn't expect this otherworldly palace. It also has some similarities with ancient China.

He couldn't see any urgency on his face, because he knew that even if the emperor wanted to talk to him privately, Liu Yuanzong would not let him.

If the news from Fan Ling is good, the emperor is now a puppet of Liu Yuanzong, then Liu Yuanzong, in front of him, is definitely not willing to show cowardice.

Sure enough, after a while, another eunuch came to meet him. Saluted and said, "Half-saint, please come with me, Your Majesty is waiting in the Imperial Palace." ”

Zhao Xuan smiled silently. Follow the two eunuchs and walk to the court's palace. One of the eunuchs went in again to spread the word, and soon, a message sounded in the court's political hall: "Xuanzhao half-saint pilgrimage!"

"Xuanzhao Half-Holy Pilgrimage!"

"Xuanzhao Half-Holy Pilgrimage!"

The sound came one after another, and the little eunuch next to Zhao Xuan bowed down and said, "Zhao Bansheng, go in, the little one can't accompany you." ”

If it is according to the system, at this time, the emperor will not be said, and even the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty will come out to greet them. But now, it is just a communication, and the word "audience" is still used, if Zhao Xuan doesn't make trouble when he goes in, the little eunuch won't believe it.

In this case, a small person like him should hide as far away as possible.

At this time, in the palace of the court, the civil and military officials did not dare to come out, and they were all frightened, looking down at their feet. From time to time, he glanced up at the emperor on the dragon throne and Liu Yuanzong on the Taishi chair below, but they were all at the touch of a button.

Now in this hall, there are no martial arts, and most of them are people who follow Liu Yuanzong. But most of them are greedy for life and afraid of death, afraid of Liu Yuanzong's methods, and now that Zhao Xuan is here, they don't know what will happen today, so how can they not panic?

In the fear of everyone, Zhao Xuan walked into the hall leisurely, came to the center of the main hall, looked at the emperor and Liu Yuanzong, and said with a smile: "Emperor, Lord Liu, let's meet again." ”

At this time, Li Yuanqin was already in his thirties, and he had already been hollowed out by wine, leaning on the dragon seat, facing Zhao Xuan, neither saluting nor greeting, and a trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes. didn't wait for him to speak, Liu Yuanzong had already opened his mouth for him, and he did greet him with a smile: "I haven't seen him for ten years, Zhao Xiaoyou's scenery has not diminished in the past, which really makes Liu admire." ”

Zhao Xuan said: "What did Lord Liu say, a few months ago, we didn't see it on the street." ”

Liu Yuanzong shook his head and said: "Xiaoyou, this is not right, Liu is frank with you, but you still deceive Liu." Now no one in the capital knows that there are two Zhao Bansheng in the Zhao Mansion, and what Liu saw a few months ago is not necessarily here now. I don't know if it's true or not?"

"What did Lord Liu say?" Zhao Xuan asked with a smile.

Liu Yuanzong said: "I don't know this old decay, Zhao Xiaoyou's magic skills are clever, he has been a stand-in, he has concealed the decay, the saint, and the people of the world, how dare the decay still dare to speculate?"

The two of you come and go, and you talk to me one by one, as if you don't take the emperor in your eyes at all, and Li Yuanqin's face is so angry.

Zhao Xuan didn't realize it, but said, "Could it be that Lord Liu wants to sue the poor for the crime of bullying the king?"

"How dare you!" Liu Yuanzong said: "Xiaoyou is now a half-saint, don't say that he deceives the king, even if he risks the disapproval of the world, who dares to say anything?"

Zhao Xuan smiled and said, "Lord Liu, I don't know if you're talking about the poor way, or yourself?"

"You can just know it yourself. Liu Yuanzong said.

Zhao Xuan nodded, knowing that the other party was warning himself. Traditionally, it is impossible for a demi-saint to betray the human race, and whatever a demi-saint does, he must have a hidden reason. Even if it seemed to be harming the interests of the Terrans at that time, thousands of years later, or even 10,000 years later, looking at what the demi-saints did at that time, not only did they not harm the interests of the Terrans, but they were helping the Terrans, which is why Liu Yuanzong is still alive and well.

Even if he harmed the interests of the human race, as long as he didn't collude with the demon race and no one was caught, nothing would happen.

But according to what Bai Yu'er said that day, combined with his own observations today, this Liu Yuanzong's semi-saint position was obviously not obtained by his own strength.

I don't know why, in Liu Yuanzong's body, he found an extremely special aura. This breath he was sure he had never seen before, but it gave him an extremely intimate feeling, which was really strange, and made him hesitate for a moment.

At this moment, Liu Yuanzong spoke again and said, "I don't know what is the important matter for Zhao Xiaoyou to come this time? As far as Liu knows, Xiaoyou seems to have always been unconcerned about the government affairs, why did he come to the court today?"

Zhao Xuan said with a smile: "It's not that I have been away from the human world for a long time, I haven't seen Lord Liu and Your Majesty for many years, like you, so as soon as I came back yesterday, I hurried to take a look today." ”

As soon as these words came out, don't say Liu Yuanzong, there is no one in the entire court who believes it.

Are you kidding!

Liu Yuanzong is so open and secretly to the Zhao family, will you miss him?

Li Yuanqin finally opened his mouth with an ugly face at this time, and said: "The half-saint came from afar, I was busy with the government and politics, and I didn't go to greet him, and I still hope that the half-saint is not strange." ”

Zhao Xuan turned his head to look at him and said with a smile: "It's not far, it's not far, from Zhao's Mansion to here, it's only a matter of walking for a while, how can you say far?"

After finishing speaking, his face suddenly turned grim, and he said: "Okay, don't talk nonsense, Poor Dao is here this time, in addition to visiting the emperor and Lord Liu, there is one more thing to ask." ”

When the words fell, everyone in the hall was shocked, and said secretly: The meat play is coming!

I saw Liu Yuanzong squinting his old eyes, although he was gray-haired and old-fashioned at this time, his eyes were very energetic, exuding a dangerous light, staring at Zhao Xuan, and suddenly smiled: "I heard that Your Excellency's brother Zhao Lai was trapped in the Demon Realm, and Your Excellency personally went to rescue him, but he was trapped for ten years." Can you ask where Your Excellency has been in the past ten years, and how did you escape from the demon world? Your Excellency, don't blame the old decay for talking too much, it is really a demon war now, the situation is critical, and the decay has to be guarded against!"

Zhao Xuan secretly scolded the old fox, the other party was clearly alluding to his collusion with the demon clan and accepting the threat of the demon clan before being released by the demon clan, otherwise he would have escaped long ago if he could have escaped, how could he be trapped for ten years?

However, he was naturally not afraid of these, and said with a slight smile: "There is Lord Lao Liu's concern, the matter of the demon world, presumably Lord Liu has not received the news, and it is normal not to know." But presumably in a few days, the demon clan will also inform Lord Liu of the matter, so why should Lord Liu be in a hurry at this time?"

Didn't you pour dirty water on me?

Liu Yuanzong's eyes flashed and said: "Zhao Xiaoyou said cautiously, there is no room for the past today, if you provoke the Holy Dao Heavenly Punishment, don't blame the old man for not saving you!"

The Heavenly Punishment of the Holy Way is a punishment given by Heaven to those who slander half-saints or above. But Liu Yuanzong dared to be the first year of junior high school, and Zhao Xuan didn't dare to be fifteenth?

"Since Lord Liu knows this, he should be cautious in his words and deeds, otherwise he will really provoke the Holy Dao Heavenly Punishment, and the people of Moti will suffer with you!"

"Hehe-Your Excellency, let's explain your intentions first. Liu Yuanzong smiled and said with a smile.

I don't know who it was, but when Zhao Xuan said that he had a question to ask, he diverted the topic.

At this time, many people in the main hall had already raised their heads, and their eyes were wandering between Zhao Xuan, Liu Yuanzong, and Li Yuanqin. Outside the main hall, the sun had already risen, and the warm sunlight shone into the hall and hit the backs of the officials, but it did not bring them half of the warmth.

Zhao Xuan stood at the foot of the stairs and looked at Liu Yuanzong, who was sitting at the head of the hall and in front of Li Yuanqin.

The two looked at each other, but they were separated at a touch, Zhao Xuan turned his head to look outside, and said quietly: "The poor road rushed back from the demon world, and along the way, I saw that the people of my human race were yellow and thin, they couldn't eat enough, they couldn't wear warm clothes, and they were busy fleeing. Especially near Shanhaiguan, not to mention that the human race has been reduced to food, and even worse, it is even eaten by changing children. Poor Dao wants to ask Your Majesty, and ask Lord Liu, whose disaster is it that the human race is in trouble now?"

As soon as these words came out, the hall was suddenly shaken!

If it's just a casual question, you can point out that you can ask the emperor and Liu Yuanzong, who is the disaster and who is referring to, does this need to be said?

"Bold!" (To be continued.) )
