The night was already dark. The slightly cool night wind rustled the leaves on the surrounding trees. The moist cool wind was like a knife cutting at times, which made the drunkard who was still living on the street sober up a little.
The pitch-black sky slowly revealed a bright line from a very far distance, and as the bright line gradually expanded, it turned from a bright line into a bright spot. The pitch-black sky gradually brightened and turned into a fish-belly white color. It could still be vaguely visible at first.
The stars gradually recede from the night sky, and as the sounds on the streets become increasingly noisy, a new day begins at this moment.
The Great Empire of Great Britain, the Imperial City, and the Imperial Palace.
Standing outside the main hall, Gou Dian and Marquis Luohu were waiting outside. There was no trace of drunkenness on their cheeks. Although they drank a lot of wine last night, with the strong recovery power of a fighter, the drunkenness can subside after a period of time.
, this is not comparable to ordinary people. According to the words of the Great Emperor, on this day he will point out the next tasks for Goudian and Marquis Luohu, whether to return to the front line or stay in the Emperor's City to do other things, everything will be decided by
Commissioned by Emperor Great Britain, the possibility of returning to the front line is higher, because most of their bodyguards are still on the front line of the battlefield.
While Gou Dian was thinking, a palace guard walked out slowly from the main hall. The palace guard walked straight towards Gou Dian and Marquis Luohu, and saw him cupping his hands towards Gou Dian and Marquis Luohu, saying
"Your Majesty, Marquis of Luohu, Lord Viscount of Gou Dian, and His Majesty the Great, have an invitation." As he said that, the palace guard also made an invitation gesture to Gou Dian and Marquis of Luohu.
Gou Dian and Marquis Luohu nodded, looked at each other, and followed the palace guards into the main hall. In the main hall, the Great Emperor was sitting on the imperial chair, still domineering, and he was full of energy at this moment.
He was not reviewing the memorial. It seemed that he was quite happy about his reunion with Gongsun Tian yesterday.
"The humble minister Rahu, see the Great Emperor."
"The humble minister Goudian joins the Great Emperor."
"Well, let's let the two Qing families be equal."
Goudian, Emperor Dabri, and Luo Hu exchanged casual greetings, and then the three of them quickly got to the point.
The Great Emperor did not waste any words, nodded and chuckled: "Marquis Luohu, before entrusting the mission, if you have anything you want, just say it, I will try my best to do it. You are indispensable for my being able to reunite with Tian'er this time."
, the reward will be great."
"Also, the same goes for Viscount Goudian." Emperor Great Britain did not forget Goudian next to Marquis Luohu, and added with a faint smile.
Marquis Luohu bowed his hand to the Great British Empire and said: "It is only natural for me to serve your majesty. This time I saved His Highness the Fifth Prince. It was just a coincidence. Therefore, I dare not accept your majesty's reward."
"That's it." The Great Emperor nodded slightly, narrowed his eyes and said, "Viscount Goudian, what about you?"
"I want to take that Gu insect away, but you won't agree, right?" Goudian muttered secretly in his heart, and said without any pretense, "Your Majesty, I want to stay in Shenlongmen to practice fighting spirit.
I hope His Majesty the Great Emperor will approve it. Your Majesty must know that the soul quality of this humble minister is only one, and if you don’t step up your practice, you won’t be able to compete with others.”
"Oh? That's fine. If you are asked to fight head-on with the people of the Gou family, you will surely feel uncomfortable, right?" Emperor Great Britain narrowed his eyes slightly and didn't know what he was thinking. He nodded lightly and said, "Then,
Viscount Gou Dian, I will allow you to return to Shenlongmen and wait for orders. If there is anything special, I will entrust you to do it when the time comes. How about this?"
"Wei Chen takes orders!" Goudian nodded with a faint smile on his lips.
Emperor Great Britain turned to look at Marquis Luohu, smiled faintly and said: "Marquis Luohu, since you have no request, I will reward you with 50,000 gold coins at will. What do you think?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Marquis Luohu cupped his hands to Emperor Great Britain and responded immediately.
Emperor Great Britain didn't waste any time and continued: "Well, the task of Viscount Goudian has been assigned, and then the next one is Marquis Luohu. Marquis Luohu, I hope you can lead the elite back to the front line and the main force.
Rendezvous. Your combat command skills are quite excellent. I think that with your help, it will only be a matter of time before the royal family of the Great Britain Empire can completely regain its territory. What do you think?"
"The humble minister accepts the order!" Marquis Luohu cupped his hands to the Great Emperor and responded unhurriedly. This task was expected by Marquis Luohu. No matter what, he always had to return to the front to command the battle.
It's just that he didn't expect that Gou Dian would ask to return to Shenlongmen to practice here. He, Marquis Luohu, is different from Gou Dian. Gou Dian is just a small junior viscount with only 300 soldiers under his command. Without him, it will not harm the battle.
, however, Marquis Luohu, as a marquis, has 1,500 soldiers of the Guards and there are many elites among them. The absence of him will have a significant impact on the battle situation. Because of this, at this moment, looking at Luohu on the top of the mountain, he can't help but feel a little a little bit.
envious.
Emperor Great Britain didn't care about this and asked again: "Speaking of which, how is the performance of the Ninth Prince?" The Ninth Prince in Emperor Great Britain's mouth refers to the Ninth Prince Gongsun Ming who is also on the front line. After all, he is
It is natural that his own son, Emperor Great Britain, should be concerned about this.
Gou Dian did not speak but turned his attention to Marquis Luohu. Marquis Luohu immediately shook his head and chuckled and commented: "His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince is still in the learning stage. Wei Chen believes that Your Majesty should not have too much expectations for newborn calves. This will only
It puts too much pressure on His Highness the Ninth Prince. However, in Weichen's opinion, His Highness the Ninth Prince already has a rough idea of how to dispatch troops and generals, and I believe he will become a great general in the future." Marquis Luohu.
His flattery was just right, and he used the rhetorical technique of first suppressing and then raising, which made Emperor Great Britain smile. This actually made Gou Dian, who was listening on the side, secretly admire him. He was able to flatter like Marquis Luohu, so Luohu must be this person.
The position of marquis is not easy to come by.
Emperor Great Britain did not ask any more questions about this, and waved his hands gently and said: "Then, you two gentlemen, please step aside. I still have some memorials that need to be reviewed. I already missed some yesterday. Today I have to finish what I missed yesterday."
Just make it up."
"Your Majesty, please put the dragon body first!" Gou Dian lost no time in flattering him.
Emperor Great Britain smiled faintly and nodded. He turned his gaze to Gou Dian and seemed to suddenly remember something. He then said: "By the way, Viscount Gou Dian, please stay a little longer. There is something I heard from the fifth prince that I am concerned about.
I want to ask you clearly in person."
"In this case, I will take my leave first." Marquis Luohu bowed his hands to the Great Emperor, turned around and left first. He was a man who knew current affairs, and he immediately understood what the Emperor meant when he heard the words.
After the figure of Marquis Luohu completely disappeared from sight, the Great Emperor shook his head and chuckled, saying: "Viscount Goudian, come with me." After saying that, the Great Emperor stood up from his seat and turned around.
He walked towards the inner room. A trace of doubt flashed in Gou Dian's eyes, he shrugged helplessly and hurried to follow. Gou Dian didn't know what the Great Emperor wanted to say to him, he could only think that the Great Emperor
He was finally asked to perform the duties of the "Earth Shadow", and his heart couldn't help but skip a beat. The tasks of the "Earth Shadow" were all shady tasks, and it was really hard for Goudian to imagine what kind of tasks Emperor Great Britain wanted.
Give it to him.
However, to Gou Dian's surprise, what Emperor Great Britain wanted to tell Gou Dian was not the mission of "Earth Shadow". Emperor Great Britain sat down on a chair in the inner room, and then stepped out of the space
He took out a small jar with unknown contents from the ring, and then said to Goudian: "Goudian, Tian'er said you know how to use Xuan-level intermediate fighting skills, right?"
"So this is what I'm asking about..." Gou Dian muttered in his heart, nodded and affirmed, "Yes, Wei Chen does know how to use Xuan level intermediate fighting skills."
"It turns out it's true." The Great Emperor nodded and asked, "In that case, can you tell me how you learned the Xuan-level intermediate fighting skills?"
Emperor Great Britain seemed to be asking casually with an indifferent attitude at this time, but for some reason, Gou Dian's keen sense of touch made Gou Dian shiver violently! This was just a simple question, but it seemed like
As frozen as a question, Gou Dian finally understood what it means to accompany a king like a tiger. If he had just been an ordinary monarch before, then Gou Dian would not have understood the horror of the Great Emperor so much, but once the connection between the two becomes stronger, that
Only then could Goudian slowly come into contact with the true nature of Emperor Great Britain.
Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Gou Dian could only reply: "Actually, this is a Xuan-level intermediate fighting skill scroll that Wei Chen indirectly obtained from the auction. The general information during this period is a bit complicated and it is inappropriate to say more. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"Indirectly obtained from the auction?" Emperor Great Britain's eyes flashed with doubts, and he said, "Is this true? But I heard that your Xuan-level intermediate fighting skills were obtained from a certain expert who did not want to reveal his identity.
It’s what you get.”
"That is also true." Gou Dian nodded and said, "If we want to make it coherent, it means that the expert obtained the Xuan-level intermediate fighting skill scroll from the auction, and then the expert changed hands with him.
Wei Chen made a deal, so the Xuan-level intermediate fighting skills scroll came to Wei Chen's hands, and Wei Chen learned the Xuan-level intermediate fighting skills from the scroll."
"That's it." Emperor Great Britain nodded, and saw him gently opening the small jar in his hand, and asked again, "Is this really the truth?"
At first, Gou Dian thought this was just a simple question, but in the next moment, Gou Dian suddenly felt an unbearable stinging pain from his heart! The pain of "chi" made Gou Dian almost unable to breathe in pain.
He fell directly to the ground and waited until he reluctantly opened his left eye. Only then did he finally see it. He saw a purple Gu insect being pinched directly in the hands of Emperor Great Britain!!
