Gou marries a wife in the world of immortality

Chapter 276: Kill the faint king from above and the treacherous minister from below

In Huangshan, it can even be said that in Yongning Immortal City, the capital of the Daheng Empire, the empress who carries the destiny of the Daheng nation is basically invincible.

What's more, in the eyes of the civil and military officials, the empress's cultivation was still at the level of Perfection, so it was effortless to suppress her at the moment.

As soon as the empress' pressure was released, all the civil and military officials were frightened and knelt down one after another.

Only three of them did not kneel.

One is Li Guanxuan, the second is Li Zhong, and the third is an old man with gray hair and a cane.

The old man was not wearing court clothes, but a simple linen suit. He stood at the head of the civil service, his eyes half-closed, as if he was about to fall asleep at any moment.

Li Guanxuan noticed this old man and thought that he should be the empress's senior brother, the first disciple of the Confucian sage, the chief assistant of the dynasty, Yan Fuxian, whose courtesy name was Ning'an.

It is said that the current leader of the dynasty was cursed and could not use magical powers. Once used, he would be destroyed and his body would die.

The old man, Fu Yan, seemed to notice that someone was looking at him. He turned to look at Li Guanxuan and smiled slightly. His face was kind and his smile was amiable. His weathered face was full of traces of time, but his eyes were still bright and bright, as if they were hiding in the universe. Galaxy.

Li Guanxuan bowed slightly to show respect.

The empress had a calm expression on her face, showing no emotion or anger, and said: "This is Yongning Immortal City, the imperial capital of Daheng. If I can't even protect the Cauldron of Time, how can I protect the country of Daheng?"

Hearing this, Li Guanxuan couldn't help complaining in his heart, when the Xie family was massacred silently, didn't you not notice it and protect it in time?

"Do you want to die?" The empress's voice sounded from Li Guanxuan's heart.

Li Guanxuan hid his hands in his sleeves, closed his eyes and fell asleep, pretending not to hear.

Li Zhong bowed at the right time and said: "I will always be by your side, and I will also protect the tripod from falling into the hands of thieves. Please rest assured, your Majesty."

Immediately afterwards, the empress looked at Yan Fuxian.

The old chief assistant understood and said slowly: "Young master Li's sword slashed Hu Yanyue Sheng, his talents and methods are fully demonstrated, he can be called the only one in Yuanying, and now he is proficient in time magic. There is nothing wrong with assisting in the investigation of this matter. With Li If you are loyal and protected, you can rest assured that the old minister will have no objections."

The empress stopped talking nonsense and waved her sleeves: "Li Guanxuan, take the sword!"

At the same time, the Empress also sent a message: 'If you don't take the sword, I will drag you to the market and chop you down! ’

"Your Majesty Li Guanxuan, I sincerely abide by the Holy Will."

Li Guanxuan felt helpless and took the holy sword suspended in front of him with both hands.

When he came into contact with the Holy Martial Sword, he clearly felt the resonance. Immortal bells, drums and drums all rang in his heart. The Holy Martial Sword exuded a terrifying sword energy, intertwined with the laws of heaven and earth, and gradually shrank and disappeared. In the palm of his hand.

Soon, Li Guanxuan saw the Holy Martial Sword fall into the hands of Nascent Soul who had a sea of ​​Qi in his Dantian. He waved it lightly with infinite power.

"What a sword!"

Li Guanxuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The empress hummed and said through the message: "This sword contains great eternal luck, and it can kill the gods on land. Now I will take this opportunity to give you the opportunity to kill demons and evil spirits for your eldest sister and me!"

"But I still don't have an official position."

"Why do you want to be an official? Wait for the Sixth Section to impeach you and let me chop your head off? If you feel that your status is too low, I can give you a title of king."

"No, it's just a joke. I don't want to be impeached every day."

"..."

The two siblings communicated secretly.

The empress waved her hand, and the palace maid beside her said loudly, "Dismiss the court", which echoed in the Jinluan Palace.

When they realized that the empress had disappeared on the dragon chair above, all the civil and military officials heaved a sigh of relief and gathered around her to send congratulations to Li Guanxuan.

"Mr. Li is both talented and beautiful. He is truly an outstanding person."

"Master Li, congratulations."

"Congratulations, Mr. Li is indeed a great talent of our Daheng. He is really admirable."

"..."

Li Guanxuan looked at the civil and military officials congratulating him. They were overwhelmed with smiling faces. He couldn't believe it for a moment and could only respond in a hurry with a smile.

Until the old chief assistant came slowly on crutches, all the civil and military officials said their goodbyes and dispersed.

"Master Li, do you have time to go for a walk with me?" The old man, Fu Yan, invited with a smile.

Li Guanxuan knew very well that as long as he accepted the Holy Martial Sword, he would not be able to avoid things in the court.

"This junior is honored." Li Guanxuan bowed.

In this way, the old man and the young man walked slowly towards the outside of the Jinluan Palace, followed by an elderly eunuch.

When Li Guanxuan walked out of the Jinluan Hall, Song Zhibai, the Minister of Rites and the contemporary patriarch of the Song family, came over and greeted with a smile:

"Elder Ge, Mr. Li, Mr. Li."

The old chief assistant and Li Zhong both nodded slightly.

Li Guanxuan looked at the contemporary patriarch of the Song family with doubts, but he still responded out of politeness.

"The family has already punished Song Changdong. Zhiqiao has already married Young Master Li, so naturally he belongs to the Li family. If Young Master Li is free, he might as well take Zhiqiao to visit his mother's family, and the Song family will sweep up the bed to welcome him." Song Zhibai smiled.

Li Guanxuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are too polite. I have no grudges against True Lord Changdong."

Song Zhibai sighed softly: "No matter what, I still hope that Mr. Li can understand that as a family of hundreds of thousands of people cultivating immortals, it is inevitable that there will be stupid people.

Zhiqiao used to be a member of the Song family, so the bloodline skills should be delivered in time, but Song Changdong almost missed Zhiqiao's cultivation due to his personal affair.

Although this is not a capital crime, a punishment is inevitable. This is also a warning to the rest of the Song family that as long as they have the blood of our Song family, they can practice bloodline skills. "

After saying that, Song Zhibai whispered: "In addition, I hope that you will think about what happened in the court today after you go back. If you don't understand, you can come to the Song family to drink tea and discuss at any time. I will take my leave first. "

Looking at Song Zhibai's departing back, Li Guanxuan was still confused and didn't know why.

The old prime minister leaned on his cane, tapped the floor, and said with a smile: "The case of the extermination of the Xie family is full of doubts and extremely dangerous. He stopped you in the court and didn't let you participate. In fact, it was also to help you, so as not to step into the abyss. "

"Stop me, is to help me? "Li Guanxuan frowned.

He thought Song Zhibai was singing against him.

"After Li Wangsheng's incarnation celebration was over, Song Linghuai arrested Song Changdong and took him to the ancestral temple, and punished him to kneel in front of the ancestors. Song Jitang and Song Linyin had their resources reduced by half, and they also knelt in the ancestral temple. "

Yan Fuxian smiled and said, "Things like choking are common for people with low cultivation, but your status is different, it is easy to cause a great impact. If Song Changdong is not severely punished, more low-level cultivators in the Song family will be resentful.

Therefore, everything Song Zhibai did was to make up for this matter. As for stopping you in the court..."

Speaking of this, Yan Fuxian deliberately paused and said, "The Song family has always been on good terms with the Xie family. When the Xie family got into trouble, the Song family knew some of the hidden secrets, so the emperor pulled Song Zhibai out at the beginning.

Song Zhibai knew how dangerous the Xie family case was, so he spoke out to stop it in order to save you, so that you would not get too involved and could not get out. "

Li Guanxuan asked in confusion: "Since you all know that he knows the secret, why don't you interrogate him directly?"

"Your Majesty must consider the impact. Even if he knows, he must pretend not to know. If he kills Song Zhibai, the Minister of Rites, without evidence, the court will be in chaos in no time."

Yan Fuxian tapped the floor again and said softly: "The officialdom is deep, and it is difficult to distinguish between enemies and friends. Every step must be carefully considered before you can steadily rise to the top. Remember this."

Li Guanxuan looked back at Li Zhong.

"What the elder said is very true." Li Zhong nodded slightly to show his agreement.

"Why did the elder tell me this?" Li Guanxuan asked directly.

Yan Fuxian smiled and asked: "Did the young master go to Wuhui Academy and meet his mentor? "

Li Guanxuan nodded.

"I am also optimistic about the person that my teacher is optimistic about. Moreover, you are proficient in time magic. You killed Hu Yanyuesheng with five moves of inner sword. This is rare in the world."

Yan Fuxian smiled and said as he walked: "In the past, I was just a wild child living in the deep mountains and old forests. It was only because of my teacher's appreciation that I gradually achieved such success.

Now, I can no longer give my full strength to Daheng. You are a late bloomer, showing your brilliance and sweeping across the world. In the future, I will trouble you. "

"I am afraid I can't take on this important task." Li Guanxuan said with a wry smile.

"I still trust the vision of my teacher and the emperor."

Yan Fuxian smiled and said: "My lord, you must know that today's court meeting is held for you."

"For me? "Li Guanxuan was stunned.

Yan Fuxian nodded and said: "The emperor wants all civil and military officials to know your existence. The case of the extermination of the Xie family is the beginning of your accumulation of momentum. At the same time, it is also a warning to certain people that whoever dares to mess with the investigation process, you can kill them with the Shengwu Sword in your hand... The power to kill first and report later is not available to ordinary people. "

Hearing this, Li Guanxuan slowly realized that he had to be extra careful every step he took next.

As Yan Fuxian said, the officialdom is deep and unpredictable.

Li Guanxuan suddenly said: "The life span of the elder has exceeded 30,000 years, right?"

30,000 years is the limit of the great power of the Refining Void Stage.

Yan Fuxian nodded slightly and smiled: "If there is no curse, I would be the second Confucian Saint. "

Li Guanxuan took a breath of cold air. Daheng is really full of powerful people.

"Okay, let's stop talking about today's gossip. If you don't understand anything, just come to me. "

Yan Fu smiled first, and then walked out step by step with a cane. His body was hunched, as if his spine was bent by the Daheng River and Mountains.

This is a respectable old man.

He has been worrying about the Daheng Immortal Dynasty all his life.

Li Guanxuan looked at the hunched back and sighed softly: "It is said that the disciples of the Confucian Saint are worthy of Daheng, and it is not an empty statement. "

"In the past tens of thousands of years in Daheng, has there been no Tianjiao who has caught the eye of the Confucian Saint again?" Li Guanxuan asked doubtfully.

"Tianjiao is the most difficult to catch the eyes of that old fool."

Li Zhong explained: "The old fool follows a saying: No talent can be achieved without beating. Tianjiao is talented, but it is easy to break... But in his hands, any talented person will be broken."

Li Guanxuan smiled, and he could hear that Li Zhong's words were still full of resentment towards the Confucian Saint.

The two walked towards the Wuxia Palace. On the way, Li Guanxuan asked: "How much can you believe what the old man said? "This man is loyal to Daheng and speaks from the bottom of his heart. You can believe what he says." Li Zhong said, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "But for the sake of safety, believe half of it. It's best for you to keep a certain suspicion of anyone, and don't believe everything." Li Guanxuan nodded slightly. He thought so too. People who treat you well for no reason must have some plot against you. ... Wuxia Palace.

"Sister, I thought you just wanted to train me, but I didn't expect you wanted me to die!"

As soon as Li Guanxuan stepped in with his front foot, he started yelling crazily with his back foot, his words full of anger.

"Calm down your anger, calm down your anger..."

The empress smiled and comforted her a few words, and then said: "The incident of killing Huyan Yuesheng with the sword has made everyone focus on you again. Anyway, you will break through to the gods sooner or later, and you must also accumulate merit, right?

All the things I arrange for you are to let you accumulate merit, which is better than the stage of transforming into a god. "

After saying that, the empress poured the tea herself to admit her mistake, and handed it to Li Guanxuan with both hands.

"What did you find out about the Xie family's extermination case?" Li Guanxuan took a sip of tea and asked.

He had to make sure he was safe and in no danger.

Otherwise, even with Li Zhong by his side, he would not feel safe.

"It's just to confirm that the Xie family has colluded with Da Zhou, nothing else."

The empress was massaging Li Guanxuan's shoulders. She did not look as majestic and domineering as she did in the Golden Palace just now, and said: "Actually, I gave Li Zhong the time tripod to use the magical power of time retrieval, but the results failed and there was no gain.

I suspect that the person who took action was at least half-stepped. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to destroy the Xie family silently. "

"Half step together?"

Li Guanxuan's eyes widened and he said, "Li Zhongcai practiced the Dzogchen Perfection, do you really want me to die?"

"Don't panic, as long as you are in Yongning Immortal City, I can keep you safe."

The empress smiled and said: "There is a ray of my spiritual thoughts in the Shiding, and I even put Nascent Soul inside. As long as the mastermind behind the scenes dares to take action again, I can kill him immediately and find out the whole story."

Hearing this, Li Guanxuan felt a little relieved.

The empress is a genuine land immortal of the Hedao stage. If the Nascent Soul is in the Time Cauldron, there will be no problem.

"Are you sure that I can successfully travel back in time?" Li Guanxuan asked doubtfully.

Li Zhong couldn't finish this matter, so why did he just go and finish it?

"Your Velvet Flower Spirit Tree is immune to all the rules of the world. If you take action, it will be able to go back in time." The Empress affirmed categorically.

"Would that expose me?" Li Guanxuan frowned.

"Don't worry, it won't happen. I won't let you do anything too risky." The empress said with relief.

Li Guanxuan nodded slightly and said, "Okay, then I'll go over to Xie's house and have a look. If there's anything wrong, remember to rescue me quickly and don't let me get into trouble."

"If you don't believe me, don't you believe Li Zhong?"

The empress said angrily, and then said: "Before you go to the Xie family, talk to your cheap brother and see what he knows. Li Zhong was busy checking up on the Xie family and didn't go to him. ”

"Um."
