After hearing what Li Qingmu said, I couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Soon he said to me via voice transmission: "This is also the intention of His Majesty the Human Emperor, to shape you into a 'hope' and let everyone know that as long as you are loyal to His Majesty the Human Emperor and contribute to His Majesty the Human Emperor, then
I hope to reach the sky in one step like you and enjoy supreme power."
I couldn't help but smile. It seemed that the Human Emperor had other intentions for giving me such a big pomp. But maybe this was power. I'm afraid what Li Qingmu told me was just superficial. The Human Emperor promoted me to a higher level.
Hereditary prince, I'm afraid there are countless powerful connections involved behind this.
The human race's imperial city is very large, and the buildings in the city are also very majestic.
After we walked for more than two hours, the carriage stopped in front of a city again!
This palace is like a city. The city wall stretches for dozens of miles. The city wall is a hundred meters high. There are also huge ballistae on the city wall.
However, the garrison here does not wear golden armor, but luxurious purple-gold clothes.
The strength of these guards is obviously much stronger than that of the garrison. Their strength is basically higher than that of earth immortals, and there are also many powerful people with the strength of heavenly immortals among them.
After arriving here, Li Qingmu said to me: "This is the palace!"
As he said this, Li Qingmu waved his hand, and the door of the palace opened, and only our carriage drove in.
The guard of honor, including the Household Cavalry, remained outside.
Of course, Li Qingmu also came in with us.
Li Qingmu continued: "The guards of the palace are not under the control of the garrison, but under my control. My official position is the chief of guards, responsible for protecting the safety of His Majesty the Emperor and everyone in the palace!"
Zhou Yin was stunned for a moment: "Are you the newly appointed Chief of Guards by His Majesty the Human Emperor?"
Li Qingmu smiled and said: "Yes, I just took office not long ago, so it's normal for you not to know."
Zhou Yin continued: "It's really disrespectful. I didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor would send you, the Chief of Guards, to deliver messages and act as a guard of honor."
Li Qingmu said: "They are all doing things for His Majesty the Human Emperor. I will do whatever he orders!"
At this time, Bei Li whispered to me: "Although the chief guard of the imperial palace has a small official position, he is very important because he is responsible for the safety of His Majesty the Human Emperor and the palace, and because he can often come into contact with His Majesty the Human Emperor.
So it’s a bit like His Majesty the Emperor’s clerk, which is what you would call his secretary.”
"So Li Qingmu is also a powerful figure within the human race."
After hearing what Beili said, I said to Li Qingmu: "Disrespectful!"
But what I am most curious about is Li Qingmu’s strength. For so long, I have probed his strength more than once, but to no avail. He hides his aura very tightly and does not give me the slightest chance to probe.
.
Then again, if he can be the chief of the bodyguards and be responsible for the safety of His Majesty the Human Emperor, his strength should not be too bad, at least he should be above the fifth-level heavenly immortal.
Thinking of this, I felt that my previous attitude towards Li Qingmu was a bit abrupt. I was indeed too young.
Li Qingmu smiled again outside the carriage and said, "Prince Chen doesn't have to be so outgoing."
There is also an inner palace inside this palace. After passing the palace walls around and around, we finally arrived at the inner palace, where the Human Emperor lived.
After arriving here, several palace maids wearing white dresses and blouses appeared immediately. Each of those palace maids was plump and beautiful.
Seeing the appearance of these maids, our carriage stopped, and Li Qingmu said: "Prince Chen, your companions cannot see His Majesty the Human Emperor for the time being. They need to arrange to rest first. I will take you to see His Majesty the Human Emperor alone."
It is true that the Human Emperor is not something anyone can see if they want to, and I can understand that.
My companions also expressed their understanding, so we separated here.
We are not worried about what the Human Emperor will do to us. If they wanted to deal with us, they would have taken action long ago, so there is no need to waste such strength.
After I separated from my companions, I couldn't help but glance a few more times in the direction they were walking.
Li Qingmu said: "Don't worry, Prince Chen. After you meet His Majesty the Human Emperor, I will take you to find them. They are absolutely safe in this palace."
I nodded.
Li Qingmu took me further inside, passing through long corridors one after another, and encountered groups of guards one after another.
The guards would bow respectfully when they saw Li Qingmu and me.
But they didn't talk much, so I immediately felt that the silence in this inner palace was a bit scary.
Li Qingmu whispered to me: "His Majesty the Human Emperor likes silence, so there are few noisy sounds in the inner palace!"
I nodded.
After walking along several corridors for a while, I was taken to a room by Li Qingmu. Outside this room was a garden and a large artificial lake.
I asked Li Qingmu: "Where is this place?"
Li Qingmu whispered: "This is the study room of His Majesty the Human Emperor. His Majesty the Human Emperor doesn't like to live in places that are too high, so the buildings in this inner palace are generally relatively low. Several tall pavilions in the past were demolished and built into
The garden.”
I nodded.
When I got to the room, I saw that the room was very big. The walls were surrounded by bookshelves. There was a desk near the window with pens, ink, paper and inkstones on it. There was no one in front of the desk, but there was a cup of hot tea on the desk.
, this shows that there was someone here just now.
I wanted to use the power of my mind to explore it, but then I thought that this was the Emperor's study, so I didn't do that.
Just when I was looking at the desk, two people walked in from outside the study. One of them was wearing a golden robe and looked to be in his fifties. The most important thing was that he was very energetic. Although he did not use his spiritual power, there was a bright smile between his eyebrows.
But he unconsciously showed a kingly aura.
Behind him followed a man dressed in black, with his arms folded and a sword in his arms.
Those who can stand next to the Emperor with weapons are definitely not ordinary people!
Li Qingmu saluted directly to the middle-aged man: "Greetings to His Majesty the Human Emperor!"
I was stunned for a moment but then I bowed my hands and performed a polite gesture.
As expected, he is the Human Emperor.
The Human Emperor smiled at me and said: "Qingmu, you and Mr. Tuo (tuo) please step aside first, and Prince Chen and I will have a few words alone!"
Li Qingmu nodded and retreated. The man in black also nodded slightly and then retreated.
I also roughly know that the surname of the man in black is Tuo. This surname is not common, but there are many people with strange names in the upper world, so we cannot think of them in terms of names in the lower world.
After the two people retreated, the Emperor slowly walked to the desk and picked up a pen, as if he was about to write something, but the pen stayed on the paper for a long time. He suddenly looked up at me and said: "By the way, you
Did you come empty-handed?"
I was stunned.
But I soon realized that I was here to meet the Emperor, so I should bring something with me. It seemed inappropriate to come empty-handed.
But then I thought about it, I'm here to receive the title, so I don't think I need to bring anything else.
Just when I was thinking wildly, the Human Emperor smiled and said: "You are a very interesting boy. You have the arrogance of the Three Saints. Since you didn't bring me a gift, it's okay. I'll give it to you."
Everything is ready."
I was stunned for a moment and asked curiously: "Are you preparing a gift for yourself?"
The Emperor has a very good attitude toward me, and I can't help but use the honorific title for him.
The Human Emperor said "Hmm" and said, "Actually, I didn't prepare it for myself, you gave it to me!"
As he spoke, he lifted the tip of his pen from the paper, leaving only an ink dot on the paper.
But after a while, the ink spots began to spread at an extremely fast speed. After a while, a map appeared on the piece of paper. After looking at it for a few times, I discovered that it happened to be the map of the two cities of Rixin City and Wuwangsin City.
The Human Emperor said: "Put this map away and give it to me in court tomorrow. I don't need to teach you what to say."
I smiled and said, "No need!"
The Human Emperor also smiled and said: "By the way, I will give you the title of king tomorrow. What do you think is more appropriate for me to title you?"
I shook my head and said, "This is entirely up to His Majesty's arrangement."
The Human Emperor thought for a while: "You are the first prince with a different surname. How about I give you the title of king with your surname?"
I nodded and said: "Okay!"
Next, the Emperor asked me a few more questions about the Utopia. He only asked superficial questions and did not go into too much detail. For example, what is the strength of the Utopia and who is the most fearful person?
Everyone in the Utopia knows these questions, so naturally I will not answer them wrong.
After chatting for a while, the Human Emperor suddenly asked me: "By the way, when you come to the Imperial City this time, is there anything in particular you want to visit?"
I thought for a while and then said: "Tianmo Temple!"
That is the place where the Tianmo Buddha practiced cultivation, and the Yunwu Buddha also went there, so naturally I wanted to go and see it.
Hearing what I said, the Human Emperor smiled and said, "Are there any more?"
I thought for a while and then said: "The headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. I heard that the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is also the Imperial City!"
The Human Emperor did not smile this time, but frowned and said, "I heard about you. Are you going to ask the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance to release you as a prince?"
I said: "If possible, I would really like to do that!"
I originally thought that the Human Emperor would reject me because he was worried about a direct falling out between the royal family and the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, but unexpectedly he smiled and said, "You can try it, but I don't know if it will succeed!"
I asked out of curiosity: "You have no objection?"
The Emperor asked me: "Why should I object?"
When the Human Emperor said this, I couldn't help but get excited. As a first-class prince, I might actually have some hope.
It would be great if Mai Xiaorou could be rescued like this.
At this time, the Emperor said again: "Okay, let's stop talking today. I will officially confer you the title of king tomorrow. After attending the palace banquet, you can go and do those things!"
I nodded and was ready to say goodbye!
When I left, the Emperor pointed at the map and said, "Remember to bring it to the court tomorrow!"
I said "hmm".
My intuition tells me that there seems to be a good show waiting for me to sing in the court tomorrow!
