The time was clocked very accurately. When the stick of incense was about to burn out, someone from the palace ran into the hall in a panic.
"Elder, the eldest prince is charging with his men, and the servants can't stop him!"
The three elders looked towards Ximen Jingxuan together.
As for Ximen Jingxuan, it was as if nothing had happened. He was leaning on the back of his chair and keeping his eyes closed.
"Let's go take a look." The great elder took the lead and stood up.
In any case, they didn't want Ximen Jingxuan to see Qi Mingguo's jokes.
Since they couldn't send this god away, they had no choice but to go out and deal with Mo Zengye.
"What are you planning to do?" The three elders blocked Mo Zengye outside the hall.
I saw Mo Zengye holding a mechanism, followed by a group of people holding blades. If the Qi Ming Kingdom had not changed and the emperor was still there, he would have violated the law in the first place!
"Elder, the Imperial Master has arrived, why didn't you send a message to me?" Mo Zengye stopped and asked.
Originally, they had discussed how to "welcome" Dongzhu Imperial Master, but now they were having a private meeting behind his back!
"The Imperial Master's arrival was sudden, and we didn't have time to inform everyone," the third elder said. The Imperial Master Dongzhu suddenly appeared alone, and they are still confused.
"You don't have time to tell everyone? You don't have time to tell this prince? If I hadn't rushed here in a hurry, would you have sent the person to the Dongzhu Imperial Master privately? There is no emperor in Qi Ming Kingdom now. It's up to you.
The three elders are temporarily calling the shots, but you are not qualified to control the court and make your own decisions. As the eldest prince, I also have the right to discuss major plans together!" Mo Zengye said, pushing the mechanism in his hand forward.
Originally, he had been a little calmer on the way back to the palace and had some doubts about the arrival of the imperial master, but when he entered the palace and heard the definite news that the imperial master had arrived, he no longer had any doubts.
If they dared to be Lin Xiner's master privately, he would fight these old men!
Anyway, the people of Qi Ming Kingdom didn't really take him seriously, and there was no need for him to bear their responsibilities. Xin'er repeatedly rejected him, which really made him feel discouraged. At worst, he would die in the end.
Broken, it can be considered a glorious ending.
"You came here specifically with a thunder arrow in hand?" the second elder pointed out.
The Great Elder understands that the Dongzhu Imperial Master has really taken notice!
"Yes, I would like to see how capable that old guy from Dongzhu is!" Mo Zengye said, shaking the thunder arrow in his hand.
"Don't act rashly." The elder lowered his voice and reminded Mo Zengye sternly.
The unexpected appearance of the national master changed their plans, and they had to make adjustments.
"I, the prince, will not move now until you hand over Ouyang Minglan to Dongzhu."
Mo Zengye knew what they each wanted. In the final analysis, these three elders just wanted to calm down the war. If handing over Lin Xiner could really resolve everything, they would definitely agree to Dongzhu's request.
But he didn't want to trade with Lin Xiner at all. No matter why Dongzhu targeted Lin Xiner, he would never agree to send Lin Xiner to Dongzhu.
He wanted to be the emperor of Qi Ming Kingdom and have Lin Xin'er and the beauty of the country at his fingertips. But if he had to choose between the two, he would only choose the one he wanted. He had never touched the country, but had been for it since he was a child.
Tired of this, if he didn't want to become a man who impressed Lin Xiner, he would have avoided it at all.
In fact, in terms of feelings, Qi Ming Kingdom is not as good as Qingyuan Dynasty. Even if he suffered a lot in the past, his life there was real, while Qi Ming Kingdom is just the dream he has been pursuing.
It is precisely because of the huge differences between the two that Mo Zengye is so sensitive and careful. Any slightest movement will startle him.
When he heard that the three elders were meeting privately with Dongzhu Imperial Master behind his back, he rushed over impatiently, forgetting everything they had arranged before, and became extremely distrustful of the three elders.
"First Prince, a little impatience will ruin a big plan." The third elder also reminded in a low voice, looking back carefully, for fear that the people in the palace would discover their thoughts.
Ximen Jingxuan, who was sitting in the hall, was attentive and had heard their conversation clearly. He chuckled lightly, got up and walked out of the hall.
"Three elders, seeing is believing. My master's prediction is good, right?"
"It's you?!"
Mo Zengye was startled. He didn't expect to see the person he met at Yunfeng Tower in the palace. And he was the Imperial Master of Dongzhu?
What surprised him even more was that this person had already entered the palace?
But he clearly left Yunfeng Tower and ran straight back to the palace in a hurry. There was no reason why anyone could run faster than him, not to mention that this person had not set off when he left.
"Do you recognize my master?" Ximen Jingxuan asked with a smile, as if the incident at Yunfeng Tower had never happened.
"It was you who told me that Imperial Master Dongzhu has arrived at the palace!"
Mo Zengye firmly believed that he had not mistaken the person. The man in front of him was unique, and he would be remembered by just one glance.
"When?" Ximen Jingxuan asked deliberately.
"Half an hour ago, Yunfeng Tower."
Following Mo Zengye's words, the people behind him all nodded, and they were all defeated by this man in black clothes in one sweep.
"One stick of incense ago, the Imperial Master had already entered the palace." The second elder said.
The elder knew very well that the distance from Yunfeng Tower to the palace would take even the fastest horse in the city half an hour, which is the time of two sticks of incense. If they had really met, Dongzhu Imperial Master would have used only one stick of incense.
Rushing to the palace in time, either Mo Zengye saw him in person, or the Dongzhu Imperial Master really had supernatural powers that they didn't know about.
Thinking of this, the three elders looked at each other in unison, and just reminded Mo Zengye not to move rashly, but now they didn't dare to move rashly.
"A stick of incense?"
The elder's words made a group of people look at each other in confusion and rub their eyes, not feeling that they had recognized the wrong person.
"I understand, I know why Imperial Master Dongzhu named him to marry Ouyang Minglan." Mo Zengye clutched the mechanism in his hand and walked closer to Ximen Jingxuan step by step.
He should be the only one among the people present who was not suppressed by Dongzhu Imperial Master. His eyes were fixed on Ximen Jingxuan, as if he was looking at an enemy.
"It's you, you're finally here."
"Who?" the great elder asked doubtfully.
At this time, Mo Zengye seemed to be possessed by a demon, his eyes were completely attracted to the Dongzhu Imperial Master.
No one can understand how Mo Zengye felt when he recognized Ximen Jingxuan.
In addition to shock, surprise, hatred... there is also potential fear.
He hoped that this man he didn't want to see could melt into his eyes and disappear immediately!
"The shadow-breaking skill is comparable to the light-shifting phantom. The speed is as fast as lightning. A horse cannot catch up. It's you. You're finally here..."
"You're afraid of me." Ximen Jingxuan's smiling eyes were full of sarcasm and contempt.
It was such a person who took advantage of the situation and kidnapped his Xin'er, causing him to travel thousands of miles and go through many dangers to pursue her.
