In the capital, at the beginning of the fifth watch, the wind is freezing and the night is getting dark.

The palace, Evergreen Hall, is brightly lit and warm as mid-spring.

The emperor, who had been feasting for half the night, came to the dragon bed drunkenly. Under the service of the beauty, he swallowed a blood-red pill the size of a dragon's eye.

As soon as the pill was taken, a stream of heat radiated from the emperor's body. The drunkenness in his eyes was immediately wiped away, and his eyes became full of energy.

Feeling his powerful state, the emperor laughed, and just as he was about to pounce on the huge dragon couch with three beauties lying across it, a slightly feminine voice came from outside the palace:

"Your Majesty, there is urgent news."

The emperor laughed and said:

"As long as someone doesn't invade the palace and come to take my head, there will be no urgent report! Big things will have to wait until I favor the beauty first! Don't worry, the sky won't fall!"

The three beauties on the dragon bed were all beauties from good families gathered for him by the emperor's secret guards, and they were all married.

The husbands of two of them have been studying at Taixue for several years, but they have never been able to find an official position.

The other man's husband was a seventh-rank official in a certain Qingshui Yamen in the capital, and he wanted to seek employment abroad.

The emperor has a special fetish for women. As the emperor's secret guard, of course he has to share his worries.

After discovering these three beauties, the secret guards used the power of the emperor to coerce them to help their husbands seek official positions. After a combination of hard and soft tactics, they finally brought them into the palace and made them lie down on the emperor's dragon bed.

At this moment.

When the emperor was about to enjoy these three ripe peaches, how could he have time to listen to any "urgent news"?

Anyway, no one can assassinate the king and kill the king, so it’s not a big deal!

It's a pity that the emperor really couldn't eat this big meal tonight.

Because just after he said that "the sky will not fall", that slightly feminine voice said something in his ear:

"Your Majesty, Guo Kai is dead."

The emperor was startled, turned around and asked:

"Who died?"

The slightly feminine voice outside the door is still calm:

"Guo Kai is dead."

The emperor's eyes widened and he became furious. He no longer cared about favoring the beauty, and strode towards the palace gate with his shoes on.

When the two little eunuchs guarding the gate saw the emperor's face full of anger and his eyes as ferocious as if he wanted to eat someone, they immediately fell to their knees with a thud, trembling with horror.

The emperor ignored the two young eunuchs, walked straight to the palace door, pushed open the ajar door, and shouted angrily at the man who reported the news outside:

"How did Guo Kai die?"

The person who reported the news was none other than the eunuch in python robe with white hair and white eyebrows but a face like a young man.

He gently shook the jade-handled fly whisk, saluted the emperor, and then said calmly:

"Guo Kai was not secretive and was caught by the Shencat Hall and got the witness. Mu Qingxue raided Yujingguan overnight and captured Guo Kai on the spot. Later, he found twelve heads in the underground secret room of Yujingguan.

A young four-winged demon lord, more than a hundred living people, and more than 300 corpses. The evidence was overwhelming. Guo Kai knew that he was guilty of the crime, so he committed suicide out of fear of the crime."

The emperor was startled and roared:

"Absurd! Guo Kai is mine! He is responsible for such a huge crime, and I will help him to absolve him of it. Even if he cannot be exonerated, I can still find ways to save his life and let him continue to serve me. How can he commit suicide out of fear of guilt?"

The white-haired eunuch said calmly:

"That's how Shen Cat Hall reported it."

The emperor became more and more angry, gnashing his teeth and having blue veins on his forehead:

"Shenbaitang killed Guo Kai and even reported him to commit suicide out of fear of crime. Doesn't this mean he doesn't take me seriously?"

After a pause, he asked again:

"Guo Kai has a third-level Taoist cultivation level. With his strength, how could he be killed by Mu Qingxue?"

The great eunuch said:

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten? Yesterday morning, Mu Qingxue successfully passed the test and was promoted to the second rank."

"..."

The emperor was startled again and shook his head repeatedly:

"Impossible! Even if Mu Qingxue has been promoted to the second level, she is only in the Gang Qi realm for the first time. How can she kill Guo Kai, a senior third-level magic cultivator? I gave Guo Kai so many treasures, and also gave him his uncle.

Even if he couldn't defeat Mu Qingxue, he could have fled to the palace to ask for help from me because of the 'World Shifting Dharma Disk' that grandpa personally refined. How could he be beaten to death all at once?"

The eunuch said calmly:

"Because Yan Tianying also went. Although Yan Tianying did not take action, under the pressure of his energy, Guo Kai was unable to inspire Qiankun to move the Dharma Disk and teleport to the palace for refuge.

"Your Majesty, you should know that in this world, only the first-level Buddhists who have understood the 'Divine Foot Power' and the old prince Qiankun can break through Yan Tianying's Qi blockage and move space."

"It's Yan Tianying again! It's Mu Qingxue again!"

The emperor's face was livid, his eyes were on fire, he was walking up and down in front of the palace gate with his hands behind his back, growling filial piety:

"Yan Tianying is a traitor! When I was still the prince, he personally killed my guests! In the ten years since I have been on the throne, he has never knelt down in front of me once!

"During my enthronement ceremony, all the officials knelt down to worship me. Only Yan Tianying used the pretext of maintaining order to hide outside and watch the ceremony, but he didn't want to kneel to me!

"He doesn't take me seriously at all. If possible, he would even want to kill me!"

The eunuch with white hair and white eyebrows gently flicked the jade-handled fly whisk, and the soft and lingering aura like jade silk threads spread out, sealing the emperor's body so that the emperor's roar of filial piety would not spread outside, and then said calmly:

"Your Majesty, be careful what you say."

The emperor became more and more angry, waving his hands and shouting filial piety:

"Be careful what you say? Be careful what you say? I am the emperor, and this is my palace! Can't I even speak loudly in my palace? Do I have to be so afraid of Yan Tianying?

"It's okay to be afraid of Yan Tianying, but I can't move his men! That Shen Lang killed Jin Yiming and Xue Mingyue. I wanted to kill him, but I still have to worry about Yan Tianying.

We can’t send out Ouchi experts!

"And Mu Qingxue, she was the one who pushed the events in Yingzhou and the South China Sea last year. The South China Sea Sword Sect was destroyed by her, and Jin Nanfei was killed by her. Now even Guo Kai died in her hands.

Go up! You still dare to deceive you and ignore me. I will report that Guo Kai committed suicide out of fear of his crime!

"What happened to how many people Guo Kai killed? He killed for me! It was so that I could be ferocious with dragons and tigers, have many heirs, and live a long life! When Taizu founded the country, how many people were there in Dongtu? How many people are there in Dongtu now?

population?

"How did such a large population multiply? It wasn't because the emperors of the past dynasties and I worked hard to govern and ensure peace and prosperity for the country and the people that the common people could thrive in peace, leading to the current population of more than 500 million!

"The common people of Dongtu should be grateful to the royal family. They spend hundreds of people every month to keep me alive for a hundred years. What's the matter? Taizu conquered the world with his sword and shot! The whole Dongtu belongs to our family. Dongtu belongs to our family.

The local people thrive on my land and enjoy my family's protection. Shouldn't they give me, the emperor, some sacrifices?

"More than 500 million people! Even if the population doesn't increase, and I consume one million people every year, it will take more than five hundred years to use up all the people! And how much can I consume every year? It's amazing, more than a thousand people!

Ten thousand years, one hundred thousand years will not be used up!

"Guo Kai is very loyal, but my majestic emperor can't even protect his own people. He allows the people of Shenpingtang to do whatever they want and kill them whenever they want. Now he has to be cautious and afraid even when he speaks loudly... As an emperor, I am

What’s the point of it?”

The great eunuch sighed and advised:

"Your Majesty, please bear with your anger for the moment. When Yan Tianying leaves, the Divine Catcher Hall will cease to exist."

The emperor glared at the eunuch:

"But when can Yan Tianying leave? What if he has to stay in this world?

"He is only in his fifties now. A first-class master can live up to one hundred and forty years. In the future, my bones will be able to beat the drum. He may still be in the world and continue to oppress my descendants!

"No, I can't stand today's tone no matter what! If Guo Kai dies, who will make the 'Eternal Life Pill' for me? I'm going to see Grandfather Qiankun and Grandfather Bailong and beg them to make it for me.

host!"

The great eunuch said calmly:

"Your Majesty, if you go to Prince Qiankun and Prince Bailong, it won't help.

"Prince Qiankun is old and doesn't like fighting. In recent years, he has been sitting quietly all year round, refining elixirs, and never taking a step out of the door. Even if his own interests are violated by the Shenzhou Hall, Prince Qiankun will tolerate it as long as he can.

did not see.

"Although Lord Bailong doesn't like Yan Tianying and hates Shen Catang, he wants him to fight Yan Tianying head-on..."

He shook his head:

"The White Dragon Prince is well versed in the path to immortality and will not easily conflict with Yan Tianying head-on."

The emperor's eyes twitched twice and he shouted:

"We, Tian Huanggui, are just going to let a commoner bully and trample us?"

The eunuch reminded:

"The late emperor appointed Yan Tianying to take over the leadership of the Shencat Hall. He is a high-ranking official of the imperial court, not a commoner."
