Chapter 253 Imperial Mountain
Chapter 253 Imperial Mountain
"Why did you summon me so suddenly?"
When heading to the fairy mountain side of the palace, Li Guanxuan asked Li Zhong with a puzzled look.
When he came back during this period, he would occasionally write letters to the empress. If he had any matters, he could explain them clearly in the letters. There was no need to suddenly summon him to the palace for an audience.
Besides, he is not an official...
"I don't know, I don't know. Maybe the Holy Master wants to see the young master."
Li Zhong followed Li Guanxuan and replied with a smile.
"Are there any rules over there at Huangshan?" Li Guanxuan asked.
After all, it was his first time to go to the Immortal Mountain of the Imperial Palace, and he understood that in the Immortal Dynasty of the Immortal Realm, the entire Immortal Mountain was the imperial palace, and it was definitely different from the imperial palace in the mortal world.
Viewed from a distance, the Imperial Mountain is surrounded by countless fairy mountains. It is the largest mountain in the sky, just like a heavenly palace standing in the clouds.
Of course, anyone looking that way would see only mist and blurry shadows.
Only people wearing official uniforms can use the magic power in the official uniforms to see the true appearance and climb the Imperial Mountain.
"It's no different from the mortal world. The only difference is that you can't fly in the air at will, otherwise you will be killed by the imperial guards."
Li Zhong smiled and said: "If the young master finds it troublesome to not be able to control the sky, he can apply to the Holy Master for permission to control the sky. In this way, the young master can freely enter and leave the Imperial Mountain."
"It's better to say goodbye. I just came back to Yongning and I don't want to walk through the city like that, so as not to attract the hatred of others." Li Guanxuan waved his hands and shook his head, looking at the imperial mountain that was gradually approaching.
Li Guanxuan discovered that many officials of the Dahengxian Dynasty took flying boats to enter the palace from the south gate, but under the leadership of Li Zhong, he could enter from the east gate.
There are also guards guarding the east mountain gate. Two rows of soldiers stand on both sides of the huge mountain gate. Their eyes are firm and cold, full of domineering momentum. Those who are a little timid may be trembling at this moment.
"Mr. Li."
When the imperial guards Qianhu saw Li Zhong, they immediately came up and clasped their fists to show respect.
"Sir, this is Qiao Ju Qianhu, who is at the Nascent Soul realm." Li Zhong bowed and introduced Li Guanxuan.
Li Guanxuan was secretly surprised that a thousand households were all Nascent Souls?
But Li Guanxuan thought about it and felt it was quite normal.
The Imperial Mountain is the most important place in the Daheng Immortal Dynasty. If there are no experts guarding the four mountain gates, if something happens, it will really be impossible to solve it immediately.
You can't let the emperor handle everything personally.
How could thousands of clones not be enough?
During this time, Qiao Ju had also heard of the name Li Guanxuan.
After all, the true form of the great eunuch Li Zhong has personally gone to Wuju Mountain to guard him. How could Li Guanxuan's identity not attract attention?
"Your Majesty, Qiao Ju, has met Mr. Li."
As a guard, he often hangs out here in Huangshan. How can Qiao Ju be a blind person? He immediately said hello to Li Guanxuan.
"Qiao Qianhu is welcome."
Li Guanxuan returned the gift with a smile on his face, without the slightest hint of arrogance as a member of the family.
Immediately afterwards, Li Zhong took Li Guanxuan inside and explained at the same time: "Inside the Imperial Mountain, you can travel by cloud or use the teleportation array to go to various palaces, which is very convenient.
Of course, each teleportation array will be guarded by dedicated guards. If the permission order cannot be obtained, the guards will kill them immediately. "
Li Guanxuan nodded slightly. He also saw many places guarded by imperial guards. The Imperial Mountain was extremely strict everywhere. Those who could serve as imperial guards were basically monks in the Golden Core realm.
Li Zhong seemed to know what Li Guanxuan was thinking, and said with a smile: "The reason why the soldiers of the Imperial Guard are willing to serve in the Imperial Mountain is actually because of the good treatment and high salary. The Holy Emperor will prepare all the resources they need to break through.
In addition, if they fall into a bottleneck and are no longer suitable to be guards in the Imperial Mountain, the Holy Emperor will also arrange for them to serve in other places for training as appropriate. "
"Gold-plated, right?" Li Guanxuan couldn't help laughing.
No wonder so many people are willing to become guards.
First, serve as a bodyguard for the Empress. If you can perform well in front of the Empress, you might even be appreciated by the boss of Lianxu. The resources that will be given later are a great blessing. Who wouldn't be happy to be a bodyguard?
Secondly, when being released, a guard with a strong cultivation level will definitely be reused somewhere. Once his cultivation level is broken through in the future, he will definitely be promoted and reused.
Generally speaking, the Imperial Guard is a gold-plated place, and the people who come out from here will basically not be bad.
Moreover, he will be fawned over by many people.
Li Zhong smiled in agreement, but he didn't say much.
What Li Guanxuan can say, he may not be able to say.
The two of them walked to a teleportation array. After the guard saw clearly that it was Li Zhong, he put away his golden sword.
"This formation leads to the outside of Wuxia Palace, which is the Holy Emperor's palace."
Li Zhong explained, then looked at the teleportation array less than fifty meters away, and said: "That teleportation array leads to Ningshou Palace, which is the palace of the Supreme Emperor, and is located to the west."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Guanxuan noticed a group of people riding on the clouds from a distance.
At the head was a man dressed in brocade clothes, with eyes like torches, like a hidden dragon and tiger. Under the seat was a ferocious black lion, all eyes fixed on Li Guanxuan.
Behind the man were some followers, all of whom were of high cultivation.
There are also many spiritual pets with soaring evil spirits, such as double-winged flying dragons, white snake elephants, etc...
When Li Zhong saw this person, he greeted him in a calm tone: "Wei Chen has met His Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Guanxuan was silent in his heart. The only person who could have such a scene in Huangshan was probably the Crown Prince of Daheng.
Crown Prince Ji Zhenxiao got off the black lion and floated slowly on the cloud. He looked at Li Guanxuan and bowed to Li Zhong and said:
"Mr. Li, I haven't seen you for many years."
Li Zhong returned the greeting.
"You should be Li Guanxuan, right?" Ji Zhenxiao asked with a smile on his face.
"I am Li Guanxuan, the commoner, and I meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Li Guanxuan bowed.
"No need to be so polite. If we talk about seniority, your seniority may be higher than mine."
Ji Zhenxiao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Speaking of etiquette, I have to bow to you."
Li Guanxuan heard a hint of sarcasm in His Royal Highness's words and sighed in his heart.
However, before he could speak, Li Zhong said lightly: "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince bows, I can bear it."
Li Guanxuan: "???"
Are you helping me or harming me?
Li Guanxuan's eyes widened. He never thought that Li Zhong would dare to get close to him and start a big fight!
Ji Zhenxiao's face suddenly became extremely gloomy.
"Li Zhong, how dare you humiliate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Do you know your crime?!"
An old man behind Ji Zhenxiao shouted angrily.
Li Zhong glanced at the old man and said indifferently: "If you say another word of nonsense, I will kill you."
The old man was furious.
At this time, a voice came from the sky, sighing: "Okay, okay, don't argue here."
"Father, son..."
Hearing this, Ji Zhenxiao immediately knelt down in the west direction. As soon as he said this, he saw Li Guanxuan standing in front of him, his eyes glaring.
"Sorry, sorry..."
Li Guanxuan quickly reacted and walked around behind Li Zhong, thinking what the hell was this!
He was standing there, and it was Ji Zhenxiao who knelt down directly!
He didn't do anything!
"Okay, okay, get up, stop getting angry with Li Guanxuan, he won't pose any threat to your identity and status, don't be too narrow-minded, relax a little, as long as you are a virtuous crown prince, your aunt will sooner or later give you the throne, you don't need to waste your mind to seize it."
The voice was extremely loud, reaching everyone's ears, and everyone knelt down in fear, shielding their five senses and not daring to hear or see.
When Li Guanxuan was about to kneel down, Li Zhong held him up and didn't let him kneel, but he knelt down himself.
Li Guanxuan was confused again.
What does it mean that Li Zhong didn't let him kneel, but he knelt down himself?
Everyone present, including the pet, basically knelt... Only he stood.
Is it appropriate?
This is not what shocked Li Guanxuan the most.
What really shocked Li Guanxuan was the words of the emperor!
The emperor knew what his son was going to do, so he said it directly, not afraid of others hearing it.
"Father, I have never had the heart to seize the throne!" Ji Zhenxiao knelt down and bowed his head, saying loudly.
"You can just lie to me and your aunt with this kind of words, but don't lie to yourself."
The emperor said lightly: "Okay, okay, I won't tell you so much reason, come here by yourself, don't make trouble."
"Yes, father."
Ji Zhenxiao responded loudly, then slowly stood up and looked at Li Guanxuan meaningfully.
Li Guanxuan came back to his senses, bowed silently and said nothing more.
In this situation, it would be wrong to say anything, so it's better not to say anything.
Ji Zhenxiao led people into the teleportation array, and disappeared completely as the white light enveloped them.
Li Guanxuan sighed and said, "Li Zhong, you are harming me."
"The prince is already unhappy with you, no matter how many good things you say, he won't listen."
Li Zhong smiled and said, "It's better to be true to your nature and say what you want to say."
"As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person...but your words have completely put me on the opposite side of him." Li Guanxuan sighed.
"Don't worry, sir." Li Zhong comforted.
Li Guanxuan shook his head helplessly and walked into the teleportation array.
As the white light passed by, when he opened his eyes again, there was an extremely huge palace on the left, which was quite luxurious. The floor tiles were made of jade, full of spiritual energy, and there were mysterious runes engraved on it, vaguely forming a terrible formation.
I've learned a lot... Li Guanxuan muttered in his heart, such a formation might be able to kill a great master of refining emptiness.
As Li Guanxuan walked towards the palace, the door slowly opened, and the palace maids guarding on both sides lowered their heads and dared not look directly.
"Please come in, young master. I'll be waiting outside." Li Zhong bowed.
Li Guanxuan nodded slightly and then walked in.
When he stepped into Wuxia Palace, Li Guanxuan felt a warmth wrapped around his body. The many thoughts in his mind were slowly relieved. He no longer cared about those troubles and trivial matters, and his mood was much more stable.
"Young master, please."
A beautiful maid greeted Li Guanxuan with a smile and took him to the study inside.
"Your Majesty, Young Master Li is here." The maid said softly.
"Let him in."
The familiar voice of the royal sister came from the study, still so stern, full of an unyielding tone, a complete queen style.
When Li Guanxuan stepped in, he saw the familiar beautiful woman sitting next to the desk, reviewing memorials, with majesty between her eyebrows, and less smiles.
Unlike more than a hundred years ago, the beautiful woman was now wearing a white dragon robe.
In the past, she only wore clean white clothes and did not wear a Kowloon crown on her head. There was a hint of gentleness and considerateness in her sternness.
"Li Guanxuan, a common man, has met the Holy One."
When Li Guanxuan saw the empress again, he couldn't figure out what she was thinking, so he bowed honestly.
The empress put down her brush, glanced over, and said with a smile, "What, you're unfamiliar?"
Li Guanxuan smiled dryly and said, "It's true."
"Come here, sit next to me."
The empress waved, with a smile on her beautiful face. She patted the vacant seat next to her and motioned for Li Guanxuan to sit over.
