"I'm new to Ye Country and I'm not very familiar with your place. I need a batch of materials but I can't collect them. I'd like to ask for your help!"
Xiao Chen explained his intention.
His purpose in coming to the palace was very simple, that is, he wanted to use the power of the royal family to help him find some materials for refining alchemy and setting up the "Xumi Hunyuan Formation".
After all, this area of Ye State is under the jurisdiction of the king.
"Collect materials?" Duan Xinghe was startled when he heard this, and said quickly, "It's a trivial matter. What materials does the emperor need? We will help you find them immediately!"
Xiao Chen's request undoubtedly made Duan Xinghe breath a sigh of relief, and even felt a little inexplicably excited.
Because he realized that this was an opportunity to curry favor with Xiao Chen.
No matter what kind of material it was, he would definitely find it for Xiao Chen if it was available in Ye State.
"Here is the list of materials!" Xiao Chen took out a jade slip that had been engraved a long time ago and handed it to Duan Xinghedao, "Just try to search for it. If you really can't find everything, don't try too hard!"
"Yes, yes!" Duan Xinghe agreed, taking the jade slip and scanning it with his spiritual consciousness.
Then, he handed the jade slip to Duan Lengshan and said, "Lengshan, you should know what to do, right?"
"I know, I know, just leave it to me!"
Duan Lengshan took the jade slip from Duan Xinghe, saluted Xiao Chen, and then hurried away.
"His Royal Highness, why don't we arrange a place for you first?" Duan Xinghe said tentatively, "Ye country has very few resources. It may take several days to find all the medicinal materials you need!"
"Well, then I'll bother you for a few days!" Xiao Chen said.
"Don't disturb, don't disturb, this is the honor of the Duan family and the honor of the Ye country!" Duan Xinghe said quickly.
…
Duan Xinghe personally arranged a residence for Xiao Chen and chose a courtyard with an elegant environment, rockeries, flowing water, stone bridges and pavilions, giving people a very relaxing mood.
"The house is humble and simple. I hope His Highness the Emperor will not dislike it!" Duan Xinghe said.
"King Duan Shen is so polite, this place is nice!" Xiao Chen really likes the environment of the courtyard, at least it is much better than Qinglin Sect.
Duan Xinghe smiled when he heard this and wanted to say something else.
Suddenly, a rainbow light flew towards him, and he subconsciously reached out to catch it.
Of course Xiao Chen knew it. This was a simple method of communicating through the air, and was generally used to communicate more urgent news.
In fact, Duan Xinghe's expression changed several times after receiving the message.
"If you have something to do, go ahead and do your work first. I just happen to be alone!" Xiao Chen said.
"Then... Duan will excuse me for a moment. There are indeed some difficult things that need to be dealt with!" Duan Xinghe said.
"Yeah!" Xiao Chen nodded.
After receiving permission, Duan Xinghe quickly exited the courtyard, looking anxious.
Xiao Chen did not bother to investigate what happened to Duan Xinghe, and started walking around the courtyard alone.
…
Duan Xinghe rushed all the way outside the capital, and Zhang Yuantu also received the news and arrived outside the capital.
By chance, four important people from afar arrived.
"Fan Qing of Tiansheng Palace!"
"Wind Flame Valley Mo Xuande!"
"I've met King Duan Shen!"
Fan Qing and Mo Xuande saluted Duan Xinghe together.
Within Ye Kingdom, Duan Xinghe can be said to be the person with the highest seniority, the highest level of cultivation, and the most respectable person.
Beside Fan Qing and Mo Xuande, there were two young men with impressive figures. They also saluted Duan Xinghe and said:
"Junior Cheng Xun!"
"Junior Mo Shaofei!"
"I've met King Duan Shen!"
"Okay, okay, you don't have to be so polite!" Duan Xinghe interrupted the four of them and looked at Fan Qingdao, "I just received a message from your old palace master, saying that there was an abnormality at the border of Ye State. What happened?"
Hearing this, Fan Qing looked solemn and said: "I don't know what's going on at the moment, but in short, in recent times, mysterious figures have been walking back and forth near Ye Kingdom, as if they are ready to invade Ye Kingdom at any time!"
"Well, I also noticed a problem, so I asked Tiansheng Palace to discuss countermeasures with you!" Mo Xuande said.
Tiansheng Palace and Fengyan Valley are both located on the border of Ye State, and strictly speaking, they are not affiliated with Ye State.
They have their own ancient inheritance. The old palace master of Tiansheng Palace and the Supreme Elder of Fengyan Valley are both god kings and the same generation as Duan Xinghe.
When Duan Xinghe had not yet established the Ye Kingdom, he and the two of them traveled around the world and left behind many legendary names.
With this friendship and the fact that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, if the Ye country is in trouble, Tiansheng Palace and Fengyan Valley will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it.
"It seems that the country of Ye is really going to be in trouble!" Duan Xinghe sighed.
"King Duan Shen doesn't need to be too anxious. Our Tiansheng Palace and Fengyan Valley will not sit idly by and ignore this matter. The old palace master has already gone outside to investigate. I believe there will be news soon!" Fan Qing said.
"Alas, it's useless!" Duan Xinghe shook his head and said, "This time even the Imperial Clan is involved. With our strength, it is impossible to stop it!"
"What? The Imperial Clan?" Fan Qing and Mo Xuande both asked in surprise, "Is there anyone from the Imperial Clan appearing in Ye Kingdom?"
"Not only an emperor, but also an emperor at the level of Hedao!" Zhang Yuantu added.
"Emperor Hedao?" Fan Qing's expression changed when he heard this, "Brother Zhang, could it be that..."
"Well, it's the Hedao Emperor we met three years ago. He is in the palace now!" Zhang Yuantu said.
"How could it be...didn't he leave Ye Country?" Fan Qing asked.
"Who knows!" Zhang Yuantu shook his head.
"Is there anyone accompanying the emperor's son? How many people from the emperor's clan are in Ye Kingdom?" Mo Xuande suddenly asked.
"There is no accompanying person, only the emperor's son!" Duan Xinghe said.
"Only one person?" Mo Xuande frowned and said, "Isn't this unreasonable? The emperor's status is so noble, how can the imperial family trust that the emperor is alone? If something unexpected happens, it will be an irreparable loss!"
"Master Mo Valley, you are wrong about this!" Duan Xinghe said, "When I was young, I met many emperors' sons and daughters. Most of them were aloof, extremely confident in their own strength, and did not need anyone's protection at all. They themselves,
It represents the highest-end combat power of the Imperial Clan. Even if some of them bring followers, they are only used to run errands and stop minor troubles!"
"That's right, just now the emperor easily beat away a god-king who came to make trouble. He was so powerful that he seemed to be in another dimension!"
Zhang Yuantu said, then looked at Fan Qingdao, "By the way, Brother Fan, he still remembers us. When we gathered around to watch him, his consciousness was clear. If we dared to take a step beyond that, we would definitely die!"
"Fortunately, fortunately!" Fan Qing heard this and was glad that he was not reckless at that time.
"King Duan Shen, since the emperor is in the palace and does not seem to be hostile to us, then we must show enough sincerity and respect!" Mo Xuande said, "As long as the emperor is in Ye Kingdom, it doesn't matter what the border is.
Monsters and ghosts are tempting you, so you shouldn’t dare to act rashly!”
"Well, that's what I think!" Duan Xinghe nodded, "Let's enter the city first, and hold a banquet in the evening for everyone to meet the emperor!"
"Okay!" Fan Qing and Mo Xuande were both a little excited, and told the two young men around them, "Cheng Xun, Shaofei, when you see the emperor, you must not be rude and be careful!"
"Of course, we still have some sense of propriety!"
Cheng Xun and Mo Shaofei nodded seriously, and they both wanted to curry favor with this emperor's son. (To be continued)
