Song Mu and others flew through the air, and returned to Chang'an within a few hours. They landed at Zhuque Pass. Song Mu revealed his identity and continued towards the city.
Such a rainbow light flashed across the sky, making many people look at it, and several generals immediately took off in the city. After re-checking Song Mu's identity, they let Song Mu go straight into the imperial city.
After hurriedly entering the imperial city, Song Mu took advantage of his status as a lecturer in the East Palace and quickly went to the palace to ask for instructions to meet Li Ao.
After waiting outside for a while, Li Ao summoned Song Mu in Liangyi Hall.
Seeing Song Mu arriving in a hurry, and seeing Song Mu's hurried face at this moment, Li Ao also put down the book in his hand. He was very surprised at this moment, and stood up and asked.
"Song Aiqing, why are you in such a hurry? The battle in Zhongzhou is now over. What was the result?"
Song Mu quickly bowed his hands and answered Li Ao's question in a deep voice.
"Back to Your Majesty, the competition in Zhongzhou is not over yet, but during this period, the Black Dragon King of the East China Sea Demon Kingdom appeared in person."
"Black Dragon King!"
When Li Ao heard this, he stretched out his hand and pressed it on the table, and the expression on his face suddenly became a little serious.
"Then what did the Black Dragon King do? Did he take action against my human race?"
Song Mu quickly explained again.
"The Black Dragon King didn't take action. It appeared there this time to take the dragon phase poems from Wei Chen's hands. Now it has obtained the dragon phase poems and escaped far away."
Song Mu said this, and then he raised his hands towards the other party again.
"Wei Chen came back in such a hurry because he exchanged three conditions from the Black Dragon King and came here to report to the Holy One."
After hearing this, Li Ao breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to Song Mu to tell him the details.
Song Mu then told Li Ao exactly what happened in Zhongzhou, and also explained the conditions in exchange for these three poems about dragons.
When Li Ao heard Song Mu's replacement conditions, he also breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Song Mu with eyes filled with relief.
"Song Aiqing, I really did not misjudge you. I have treated you badly in this matter. You should be rewarded!"
Li Ao looked at the many poems submitted by Song Mu. These poems were contaminated by evil spirits. He could no longer feel the agility of the poems in this article. If he wanted to exert their power again, it would take many years.
After the warm-up.
Moreover, Song Mu and the Black Dragon King exchanged for twenty years of peace within a hundred miles of the sea. This was a feat that even Li Ao could hardly accomplish, but this time he achieved it with the help of Song Mu's poems about dragons.
"This so-called competition is, after all, just an unnecessary waste. These poets and aristocratic families have been dazzled by the immediate benefits."
Li Ao sighed, put down the things in his hands, looked up at Song Mu, and said.
"Song Aiqing, just tell me what kind of reward you want, and I will agree to it."
Li Ao's face looked very happy, but Song Mu's expression turned more serious at the moment, and he said with cupped hands.
"Your Majesty, please listen to this third condition."
Li Ao paused, looked at Song Mu again, and then heard Song Mu say slowly.
"The third condition the Black Dragon King made with me is to tell me about the traitor hiding in Chang'an. The Black Dragon King said that person is... Duke An Guo."
"What?"
"You mean, Zhao Feng?!"
Li Ao suddenly exclaimed, quickly rolled up his sleeves, walked off the stage, and looked at Song Mu, his expression suddenly serious.
At this moment, the hall was extremely quiet. Song Mu just looked at Li Ao with a calm expression. Li Ao's face was uncertain, and he was walking around in the hall.
"Dong An Guo and I have been together since childhood. He has been kind and humble since he was a child. When his father was still alive, he was allowed to take the title because of his honesty..."
"Although he has friendships with adults from various ministries in Chang'an, there has never been any bad news..."
Li Ao murmured to himself, and Song Mu saw the gray-haired Li Ao pacing in the hall, seeming to be justifying this shocking result.
However, the sound became smaller and smaller.
Song Mu also lowered his eyes slightly at this moment. Anyone who knew this news would find it incredible, and Li Ao would definitely think about it.
But now, I don’t know if I believe it or not.
After a moment, Li Ao stopped and seemed to sigh secretly before turning around and looking at Song Mu again.
"Song Aiqing, if I didn't know who you are and what you did today were for the sake of the people of our Wen Dynasty, I would never have believed you in this matter."
Song Mu raised his head and quickly handed over his hands.
"Your Majesty, this matter may just be the random talk of the Black Dragon King. The truth or falsehood needs to be further investigated. Therefore, I have not disclosed this information to anyone, and I am only waiting for Your Majesty to make a decision."
Li Ao waved his hand, his slightly worried eyes became firm again at this moment, looked at Song Mu and said again.
"Song Aiqing, of course we need to investigate what exactly this matter is. You just said that Duke An Guo is secretly connected with demons?"
"Your Majesty, this matter is also the word of the Black Dragon King and his family."
Li Ao just raised his eyebrows slightly at this moment, and there seemed to be some thought in his eyes.
After a moment, Li Ao looked at Song Mu and said.
"Song Aiqing, how about I leave this matter to you?"
Song Mu suddenly raised his head, not knowing whether to agree or refuse.
It is naturally what Song Mu hopes that he can investigate this case, but in Li Ao's situation at this moment, if he can't find out the reason for all this...
This is a double-edged sword. Li Ao didn't dare to swing it carelessly, and Song Mu didn't dare to take it carelessly.
Seeing Song Mu's eyes flashing, Li Ao sighed slightly, and then said in a deep voice.
"This matter is of great importance. There has been a leaky wall in my court for a long time. What Song Aiqing has done now is to alert others and make others investigate strictly. I think..."
"Not only will I not get the results I want, but it might even be counterproductive."
As Li Ao said this, he had already walked to Song Mu's side. His initially cloudy eyes were now a little clearer, and even more decisive.
"Song Aiqing, I will give you enough time to do this, but you don't have to go directly to investigate Duke An."
Song Mu raised his eyes, thinking.
"You can look into Huangfu Fengming's case, and since the other party is still connected with the demon barbarian, you can look into the fire case about you ten years ago, and the case of the left prime minister not long ago.
"
Li Ao pointed out a way for Song Mu, and Song Mu also looked stern when he heard this.
Li Ao sighed slightly at this moment and looked at Song Mu again.
"Song Aiqing, you are already walking on thin ice this time. Remember to put yourself first and never try to show off."
Saying this, Li Ao looked at Song Mu with a deeper look.
"I trust you because you have a sincere heart, but don't forget that you are still giving lectures in the East Palace, and His Royal Highness will still need your support in the future."
"I want a result in this case, and you can make a big splash."
Saying this, Li Ao handed a strange-looking tiger charm to Song Mu.
"This talisman can mobilize the Qingtian Guards. Remember it. Once you find out, you will capture the person and bring him here."
Li Ao's tone suddenly became serious.
"I want to ask myself how my Wen Dynasty mistreated him."
