Chapter 137 The Emperor's Mind is Unpredictable and Absurd
Entering the palace to meet the saint?
Although I have no respect for Emperor Dali in my heart, I still know the weight of the emperor in the world.
In this world where evil is rampant and full of absurdities, to be able to become the leader of a country and build an imperial city of such a scale, the Emperor of Dali is naturally not a simple character.
Leaving aside the various forces, within the palace wall alone, the second-grade martial artist is just a "gatekeeper", and the national master who may have been promoted to the first-grade may also be among them.
If there was a commotion in this place, Jiang Wuji felt that even with the help of the power of the little-footed female corpse, it was very likely that he would not be able to come out alive.
…
"The emperor's heart is unpredictable. Be careful when dealing with it. If..."
Li Changfeng's voice sounded in his mind. He wanted to use the rumors to remind him of something, but the voice cut off as soon as it appeared.
And the reason is just because the old eunuch glanced at Li Changfeng...
"Does Inspector Li have any concerns about the Holy Emperor's order?" The old eunuch looked at Li Changfeng, lowered his head and lowered his eyes, his voice was sharp and hoarse.
Li Changfeng responded quickly: "Changfeng doesn't dare! Don't blame Mr. Liu, don't blame me."
When Li Changfeng opened his mouth, it was actually filled with blood. Although he swallowed it quickly, Jiang Wuji still saw it.
Just one glance made Li Changfeng, a double fifth-grade man, vomit blood. What grade was this old eunuch? So terrifying?
After Li Changfeng confessed, the old eunuch gently grabbed Jiang Wuji's hand, squeezed the wrinkles on his face, and said with a smile: "Master Jiang, would you like to follow this old slave into the palace?"
"I don't have a choice..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old eunuch took a step forward, and the surrounding scene blurred as if teleporting. When it materialized again, he had arrived at the palace.
Needless to say, the palace is magnificent. The jade stones under your feet are white and flawless, and the golden light looms on the red wall behind you.
The white jade staircase goes straight up, and the huge palace seems to be surrounded by soaring clouds. A plaque is embedded among gold and jade, with three large characters on it that are vigorous and powerful.
——Royal Study Room.
However, under the jade steps, there was a sneaky figure.
It was a man in a black robe, with a huge brim covering his face completely. His hands exposed in the sleeves were as pale as paper, and his nails were long and black.
What’s even weirder is that his blood vessels are sunken, with ravines and ravines intertwining with each other. Coupled with the unconcealable rancid odor, it’s almost certain...
This thing is not a living person!
The evil spirits... broke into the palace?!
This was Jiang Wuji's first idea, but it was quickly dismissed.
Because this possibility obviously does not hold true.
Surprised, the old eunuch on the side explained: "This is Xiong, the most common guard in the palace."
Jiang Wuji: "Xin? Person?"
"It's hard to say, they used secret techniques to stab evil spirits into their bodies to create extraordinary bodies, so I don't know if they are still human beings now."
"..."
Originally, Jiang Wuji thought that there would be no such inhuman things in the palace, or even in the entire capital, at least not on the surface, but he didn't expect to encounter them so soon.
It seems that the nature of this world is like this. What is absurd to me is extremely normal and even ordinary to them...
He suppressed his thoughts and followed the old eunuch to the door of the royal study.
The old eunuch made no announcement, but the people inside seemed to have sensed the arrival of the two men.
"Enter."
As a young man's voice sounded, the three to five meter high door slowly opened.
The scene in the imperial study room was in front of his eyes now, but Jiang Wuji, who was standing outside the door, couldn't see clearly.
After touching the red hijab in his clothes without any trace, Jiang Wuji stepped through the gold brick-like threshold and entered the royal study.
It was blurry outside the door, but very clear inside.
But unlike the luxury outside, the decoration inside the royal study is mainly ink and wash. The rising sandalwood makes people feel relaxed. A landscape painting hangs on the wall facing the door.
In the painting, there are continuous green mountains, shrouded in clouds and mist, and waterfalls flying down the mountains, stirring up mist all over the sky and reflecting the sunlight into colorful colors.
Magical weapon... This landscape painting is actually a magical weapon.
I guess it was because of this landscape painting that I couldn't see clearly from outside the door just now.
At the same time, two young men dressed simply but not looking mediocre were looking at Jiang Wuji.
Before Jiang Wuji could say anything, the older man among them slightly frowned his sword-shaped eyebrows, and then smiled and said: "A seventh-grade Taoist cultivator and martial artist, dual cultivation of seventh-grade, is not bad."
"This is the current crown prince." The old eunuch, who was bending beside Jiang Wuji, reminded in a low voice.
"Oh." Jiang Wuji raised his eyebrows and bowed his hands: "Meet the prince."
Taoism is the state religion of Dali, so those who practice Taoism can kneel or not. Coupled with the cultural influence of another world, Jiang Wuji will definitely not be willing to kneel.
At this time, another man who looked fairer nodded and said: "I think the same thing as the emperor."
"This is the second prince." The old eunuch reminded him again, and Jiang Wuji bowed.
After the words fell, a majestic god came from behind the black and white curtain on the right. Although there was no energy fluctuation, people could not control the feeling of kneeling down and worshiping.
"Establish a heart for the heaven and earth, and establish a destiny for the people."
"Continue the unique learning for the past saints and create peace for all generations."
"Okay, that's good."
"I didn't expect that there would be amazing people in a remote place. I'm very happy!"
Very, very happy?!... Jiang Wuji's mouth twitched, feeling that the emperor didn't seem to have much education.
You can at least say an idiom...
However, when the prince and the second prince heard this, they knelt on the ground with a thud!
"???" Jiang Wuji was stunned.
Prince: "Dali has outstanding people and a wonderful place, and my father will last for generations to come!"
Second Prince: "My brother and I have the same idea."
Is this second prince stuck in a bug? Jiang Wuji: "..."
Emperor Dali did not buy the flattery of the two princes. Instead, he scolded him bluntly: "You two, stop pretending in front of me! If the prince does not die, Chengyuan, just be your prince!"
Damn it? The amount of information is a bit overwhelming! Did the Emperor of Dali ask the second prince to kill the prince?
Jiang Wuji looked confused when he heard this, but the two princes were very calm and seemed to have been used to this matter for a long time.
Emperor Dali coughed dryly and continued: "I know everything you said in Lecheng. I also asked Duke Liu to copy it and distribute it to all the officials for them to savor carefully."
Jiang Wuji: "Haha, how embarrassing..."
"I haven't finished speaking yet."
"..."
"Everyone in the world knows that Dali founded his country with force and established his country with force. However, Confucianism and Taoism are gradually declining and he has become the laughing stock of all countries."
"The great scholars at Yunmo Academy are very optimistic about you. I also hope that someone can deeply cultivate Dali Confucianism, but I can't just make up for it."
"In this way, you can write a poem based on what you have seen in the palace."
Compose poetry? Why do you suddenly ask me to compose poetry?
Is it possible that the Emperor of Dali came to me just to test my poetic talent?
Brother, in this twisted world, is it really appropriate for you to flirt with me?
The imperial study room suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Jiang Wuji, as if he could really write a poem out of his mouth.
"..."
Under the increasingly anxious gaze of the old eunuch, Jiang Wuji bowed to the black and white curtain and said, "I can write poems, but I hope the Holy One can forgive me first."
"What crime?"
"Any crime."
"good."
Jiang Wuji looked at the crown prince and the second prince, pretending to be thoughtful.
After pacing for a long time, he frowned.
"Boil the beans to make soup, and drain the beans to make juice."
"The leaves are burning under the cauldron, and the beans are weeping in the cauldron."
The two princes frowned and failed to understand the meaning.
Just when the prince wanted to ask, Jiang Wuji calmly said the last sentence.
"They are born from the same roots."
"Why are you so impatient?"
The prince stared, his mouth slightly opened for a long time, unable to hold back a single word.
On the contrary, the second prince on the side was overjoyed and clapped his hands generously, "Okay, okay! We are from the same roots, so why be too hasty in fighting each other! That's good!"
He looked at the prince with a somewhat aggrieved look, "Brother, I really don't want to die so early..."
The prince was stunned, but soon returned to his original solemnity, and closed his eyes and said: "Chengyuan is worried too much, I should be the one to say this."
"Haha, the emperor has two second-grade warriors alone, and there are even more third- and fourth-grade warriors like ants. How can my younger brother kill you?" the second prince said with a smile.
Prince: "Where is the second grade? Chengyuan, don't talk nonsense."
"Nonsense? If it hadn't been for the two second-grade men who were guarding the imperial brother last time, the one who is here today would be the emperor's head." The second prince seemed to be getting more and more arrogant, not considering other things at all.
"Why don't you tell me, brother emperor, how much are the salaries of those two second-grade men? If my brother finds an opportunity to instigate rebellion, maybe the two of them are really willing to do it for you?"
The prince looked at the second prince, his black and white eyes were as clear as an ancient well, completely different from the previous shocked and stunned expression.
Under such gaze, the second prince actually closed his mouth obediently and went to drink tea.
For Jiang Wuji, there were only four words for this scene: Your circle is really in chaos.
But neither Emperor Dali nor the two princes were angry at Jiang Wuji.
Combined with the emperor's previous words, their reaction was both expected and unreasonable.
Just when Jiang Wuji thought the matter was over, Emperor Dali asked another seemingly absurd question.
"The poetry is really good, and the character is also good. He is much better than those nerds at Yunmo Academy."
"Since you took the initiative to raise the sword between the crown prince and the second prince, why don't you tell me... who of the two is more suitable to be the emperor?"
