The Shenwu Hall has staggered brackets, a yellow tile roof, and ten stone pillars carved with dragons and phoenixes. It is majestic. In the middle of the entrance to the hall is a red lacquered square platform about two meters high. There are three tall gold pillars with dragons on each side of the square platform.
, each large pillar is coiled with a vigorous golden dragon.
On the central caisson on the roof of the hall, there is a huge carved dragon. A huge silver-white bead hangs from the dragon's mouth, surrounded by six small beads. The dragon head and orbs are all facing the divine throne below.
At this time, Emperor Shenwu sat majestically on the dragon chair on the square platform. Behind him, two golden dragons were carved on the dragon screen, with scales and claws spread out and two whiskers flying, as if he was about to fly away. He was majestic and tall.
Wearing a light crimson robe embroidered with nine golden dragons, a high crown on his head, and a wide forehead and face, he has a kingly and domineering aura that intimidates everyone.
Opposite him, where hundreds of civil and military officials were attending court, Jiang Dali and King Nie were both seated at the table as distinguished guests, looking at each other and chatting with Emperor Shenwu.
Both of them could sense that the Shenwu guards were surrounding the Shenwu Temple at this time. A large number of internal masters and eunuchs were already guarding the left and right sides. Once the two of them dared to show any disrespect to the Shenwu Emperor, all these masters would rush in immediately.
Come in.
But even Emperor Shenwu himself knows very well that when one's strength reaches the level of Guizhen, unless there are strong men of the same level or top masters who have condensed the Three Flowers and hold divine weapons in their hands, there is no point in bringing more people.
Guarding is nothing more than fulfilling your duties to show your attitude.
At this time, the two sides were already talking about Wan Zhongchen, a disciple of the Wan family from the Holy Dynasty. When Emperor Shenwu saw that King Nie Ren was following Jiang Dali safely, he knew that the envoy from the Holy Dynasty had not succeeded.
, and immediately said truthfully and calmly.
"When the envoy Wan Zhuan came to the palace to find me, he asked about the recent developments in our empire. Master Jiangzhai, as the prince of the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, you should know that all our vassal states are under the supervision of the Holy Dynasty, so Wan Wan
The special envoy is the deacon of Lingyung Pavilion and has the authority to inquire about the development status of our country.
Therefore, I truthfully informed you of the recent developments in the country. At that time, King Nie Ren had gone crazy and started a massacre in the rivers and lakes, washing the rivers and lakes with blood. I had planned to send masters from the imperial court to join forces with martial arts sects to stop King Nie Ren.
subdue.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the Wan Zhuan envoy took the initiative to arrest King Nie. The emperor had no reason to refuse, so he agreed. It can be said that the emperor took the initiative to entrust the Wan Zhuan envoy with this matter.
Even if the envoys go to do it, it won’t happen. I don’t have the right to order the envoys of the Holy Dynasty to do things, but this matter did happen because of me.”
As he spoke, Emperor Shenwu's eyes flashed, and he raised his hand to King Nie Ren, "King Nie Ren, your Nie family has been loyal and loyal for generations. In the past, your family ancestor Nie Ying created the Snow Drink to prevent the disaster of the Fire Qilin.
The mad sword resisted the fire unicorn, and he was a talent that the emperor admired very much at that time.
Unfortunately, Nie Ying later became infected with the crazy blood of the Fire Kirin and became crazy, killing people all over the world, and later disappeared in Lingyun Cave.
From then on, your Nie family, your father Nie Feng, and you, King Nie, all have mad blood flowing in their bodies. I ask you, when you have mad blood attacks, I am one of the thousands of innocent people. Should I arrest you?
Arrest you and stop you? If you answer incorrectly, I will admit my mistake to you on the spot and be willing to compensate."
King Nie Ren took a deep breath, thinking of his father's loyalty, and said in a deep voice, "Emperor Shenwu, you don't have to say this. We didn't blame you, and we didn't come here to ask for guilt. We just asked you about the children of the Wan family.
It's because the children of the Wan family are almost half dead."
"What?"
Emperor Shenwu was shaken all over, and Long Yan was shocked, "Why are you so bold? How dare you seriously injure the envoy of the Holy Dynasty and half to death?"
"Hahaha......"
Jiang Dali laughed loudly and said casually and arrogantly, "Why is Emperor Shenwu so panicked? He is just a special envoy of the Holy Dynasty. From what you said, this person did not come under the orders of the Holy Dynasty officials. He has no official name.
Since the person who is alive dares to act unscrupulously in the vassal states, what if the leader of this village teaches him a lesson?"
"Master Jiang Zhai...you really don't know the terrifying power of the top families in the Holy Dynasty..."
Emperor Shenwu looked at Jiang Dali, who looked proud, and smiled bitterly in his heart. He didn't know how to blame him, so he could only feel bad luck secretly.
Since he can securely sit on the throne, how deep is his mind?
After just a moment's thought, it became clear that if he were the master of Black Wind Village in a different place, he would probably attack the Holy Dynasty envoy without restraint.
Without him, if you don’t have desires, you will be strong, if you don’t have desires, you will be strong.
As the emperor of a country, he is under the supervision of the Holy Dynasty. Many things and resources also need to be managed within the Holy Dynasty, and he has the connections and energy to do it. Therefore, he especially cannot offend the children of the top aristocratic families of the Holy Dynasty. Instead, he must make friends.
But the leader of Black Wind Village is not the emperor, and he does not have as many ties to worry about. It can be said that he has no connection with the Holy Dynasty officials at all. Naturally, he is barefoot and is not afraid of wearing shoes. It does not matter if he offends the Holy Dynasty envoys.
"Now that things have happened, I can no longer blame you two for being reckless. I just want to remind you that none of the six top families in the Holy Dynasty is simple. Every family has at least one person in every generation.
They are peerless experts in the 9th or 8th realm of Guizhen, and there are many opponents. Since these two have injured direct descendants of the Wan family, we must beware of revenge from the Wan family."
Emperor Shenwu reminded him with a solemn face, and in his heart he even wanted to send these two people away quickly to avoid getting burned.
"You don't need to remind me about this matter, and I, the owner of the village, don't need to do it."
Jiang Dali laughed, and saw through Emperor Shenwu's worries and scruples like a mirror in his heart, and said, "The leader of this village comes to see you this time, and I don't want to cause you any trouble. As long as you activate the intelligence network and help me find the person who was in Wushuang that day."
Zhu Mingwu, who disappeared after the First World War, tell me about the descendants of Wushuang City, and give me the design drawings of Lingyun Grottoes. The leader of this village will be very grateful to you."
"Master Jiangzhai...you are indeed not an easy person. None of these three things is easy..."
Emperor Shenwu shook his head slightly and sighed. If it were anyone else, even if they were other powerful people in the Return to True Realm, he would directly reject one or two of the requests.
But when you are facing this person who seems to be reasonable but is actually quite unreasonable, you must not neglect him.
Jiang Dali said, "If it were simple, I wouldn't come to you, Emperor Shenwu, to solve it. In your kingdom of Shenwu, only you can handle such a difficult matter. Besides, I know that the design drawings of Lingyun Cave have always been
They are all hidden in the palace of your Shenwu Kingdom. If not you, who would you look for?"
Emperor Shenwu frowned slightly, knowing that the other party was coming to his door. Even if he didn't want to give it now, he still had to give it. If his strength was still at its peak, he could naturally refuse it directly, but unfortunately...
Suddenly he was a little unmotivated, and he leaned on the dragon chair and said, "Forget it, this is the first time that Master Jiangzhai has come to our Shenwu Kingdom to ask for something. There is no reason for me to refute your face, Master Jiangzhai, for the first time. Regarding the Empress of Wushuang City, I will order the news about you and the internal design drawings of Lingyun Grotto to be delivered to you tonight.
As for the whereabouts of Zhu Wuli, it still needs to be investigated.
So I ask Master Jiangzhai to wait outside the palace for a while with King Nie Ren."
"readily!"
Jiang Dali stretched his energy greatly, stood up and stood tall with his hands behind his hands, looking at the Shenwu Emperor who looked majestic and domineering but obviously weak with piercing eyes, and said, "If the three things are accomplished this time, the leader of this village will owe you, Emperor Shenwu." Just a favor, if Emperor Shenwu needs anything from me or Jiang in the future, just say so."
Emperor Shenwu's dragon eyes flashed with divine light. He stared at Jiang Dali and felt much more relaxed. He nodded slowly and said, "I am very relieved to hear these words from you, Lord Jiang!"
Jiang Dali changed the subject, "Before I leave, I have a very curious question. Can I ask it boldly?"
Emperor Shenwu was startled, and immediately realized what Jiang Dali might be asking. He smiled faintly and said, "Is there anyone in this world who you, Jiang Dali, are so bold that you dare not ask questions? You want to ask about my strength, right?"
Jiang Dali's eyes flashed with strange light, "Not bad!"
Shenwu Emperor Long Yan Yihan said: "This is indeed a bold question. If it had been anyone else, they would have been killed. But this is indeed the reality in this world. The strong is king and strength is respected... "
At the end of the sentence, his face was slumped, seeming a little old and frustrated, and he said, "You are qualified to ask, and I am willing to tell you that I used to be called the Shenwu Supreme. With the strength of the Seventh Realm, I established the Shenwu Kingdom. The most powerful country among the princes, it even surpassed the declining Qin State and was as powerful as the Han Dynasty.
It's a pity that God's will plays a trick on people. Back then, Huo Qilin was suddenly invaded by evil thoughts and was on the verge of depravity. He broke out of Lingyun Cave and caused chaos in the world. Our Shenwu Kingdom was the first place to suffer the disaster. All the people fell into the sea of fire and died miserably. The emperor called on the ten major sects. Together with the top warriors in the world, we conquered and suppressed the Fire Qilin.
It's a pity that I underestimated the strength of Fire Qilin, and also underestimated the sinister nature of people's hearts.
At the beginning, the ten major sects were all afraid of the emperor's tyranny. They imitated the Holy Dynasty's feat of suppressing the vassal states and suppressed the martial arts. They pretended to cater to him, but in fact they not only did little to contribute, but also secretly deliberately created constraints.
Fortunately, there were Da Brahma, Nie Ying and many other powerful warriors who understood the righteousness, but..."
The Shenwu Renhuang's voice became louder, he slapped his palm on the stage, and said angrily, "But who would have thought that a group of sanctimonious people from the ten sects would dare to shoot the "Nine Heavens Brahma Arrows" with the "Tianyi Divine Energy" in the Great Brahma Heaven, severely injuring Huo Huo? Queen Qilin dealt a vicious blow to Brahma, who fell into the Lingyun Cave during that battle and has not been seen again for so many years. I am afraid he died a tragic death."
Hearing this, King Nie Ren angrily shouted in sympathy, "Those ten sects are a group of despicable villains. It is not a pity to die. Can Emperor Shenwu execute all those selfish people afterwards?"
"No!"
The Shenwu Renhuang sighed, "At the beginning, when Great Brahma severely wounded the Fire Qilin, it was an arrow that hit the Fire Qilin's reverse scale. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I had no choice but to put aside the matter of punishing the ten sects first and deal with it. Taking advantage of the victory, Huo Qilin pursued and punched the spot where the Jiutian Brahma arrow hit the spot between his eyebrows, knocking down the scales on the center of Huo Qilin's eyebrows, completely injuring Huo Qilin and causing his strength to plummet, and he fled back to Lingyun Cave.
However, in that battle, the emperor was also seriously injured by the evil fire invasion when the fire unicorn fell against the scales. Later, he suffered the backlash of the world's auspiciousness. Over the years, the emperor had to cooperate with the destiny of the country.
To bear the responsibility of resisting the backlash of auspicious energy, one's strength will be suppressed and cannot be used smoothly. Otherwise, it will be like your Nie family having a bloody attack, denying all relatives and slaughtering the world, or being completely transformed into a Qilin Demon and not ending well.
If this were not the case, I would not have allowed such an ambitious person to develop so unscrupulously over the years..."
"The auspicious energy backfires...the Qilin Demon?"
Jiang Dali's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of the section of dragon veins in the Dragon Vein Land in Lingyun Cave.
Dragon Veins have a miraculous effect in suppressing all kinds of evil. If the Divine Martial Emperor obtains Dragon Veins, wouldn't he be able to resist the backlash of auspicious energy and regain his strength?
With this thought, a prompt quickly appeared on his panel.
Emperor Shenwu's eyes flashed coldly, and he looked at Jiang Dali and Nie Renwang and said, "Since I suffered the backlash of the fire unicorn's auspicious energy, I have indeed been unable to exert my strength, but if someone forces me to a desperate situation, I can still
Die together! So for so many years, even Xiongba and Dugu have never opposed this emperor.
As for those sanctimonious people from the ten sects, in the past, the emperor had already invited a righteous young hero to come to the door one by one and kill and defeat all the hypocrites from the ten sects.
Almost completely eliminated! To this day, that young hero has long since retired from the world. He is the martial arts legend of our Shenwu Kingdom in the past - Mu Yingming!"
"nameless!"
Jiang Dali took a breath and understood in his heart that this Emperor Shenwu was warning him that he still had strength and had a close relationship with Wuming.
However, he had no intention of doing anything to the other party, and naturally he would not care. Moreover, he had already known through ancient books that the Shenwu Emperor was still a bit strong on the outside, and the content in his words was not completely true.
But naturally he would not reveal these things to his face.
"Emperor Shenwu serves the country and the people with integrity and is indeed a wise king!"
Jiang Dali clasped his fists and said a polite word, "Now that we know everything we want to know, we won't bother you any more and go outside the palace to wait for the good news about you, Emperor Shenwu."
Emperor Shenwu stood up and ordered, "Lin Dexiang! Send the two distinguished guests out of the palace for me and arrange their food, clothing and daily life!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
An old eunuch walked out from behind the side door and respectfully took orders in his unique high-pitched voice.
