Chen Hao shook his head and said: "Your Highness, we can no longer ask His Majesty. Requesting will only lower his expectations and recognition of you. Moreover, the task is not necessarily that difficult. Since it is impossible not to accept it, then let nature take its course.
"
Princess Eighty-Six said: "Then what did you say before?"
Chen Haodao: "Didn't I want to reduce your expectations of showing off your talents?
Don’t think of the task as too easy, but don’t think of it as too difficult either, just treat it with a normal mind.”
Princess Eighty-Six rolled her eyes: "You are on both sides, let's go."
The two of them left the palace and came to the Yangxin Hall where the emperor in the middle palace was.
There is no court meeting today, so the emperor does not need to meet them in Tianji Hall.
After the announcement, Emperor Xuanqing summoned the two men into the palace.
To be precise, it's a person.
As usual, Chen Hao is attached to Eighty-Six's shadow and controls the Eighty-Six Princess with his mind.
As for the Eighty-sixth Princess... she's already used to it.
Now she was a little afraid to face Emperor Xuan Qing alone.
The Hall of Yangxin is not big, and is filled with antique sandalwood furniture. It is filled with incense and elegantly decorated, giving it the flavor of a scholarly family.
Emperor Xuanqing was sitting cross-legged on the bed and reading a memorial.
On the table next to him, memorials as high as half a person were piled up.
Zhang Sannian stood beside him politely.
"My sons and ministers see my father."
Chen Hao came in and saluted and said.
Emperor Xuan Qing put down the memorial, glanced at her, and said with a smile: "Yes, it has only taken half a year to break through to the middle stage of becoming a god. I am very happy to congratulate you."
Chen Haodao: "If it weren't for the key resources given to me by my father, my son would not have made a breakthrough so quickly. It was my father who cultivated me well."
Emperor Xuanqing said: "There is no need to flatter you. You have earned these by yourself. I am just sending you a favor."
Chen Haodao: "Please ask Father to give me the task."
Emperor Xuan Qing hummed, fumbled around on the desk a few times, took out a memorial, and threw it to Chen Hao: "The mission is inside, take a look."
Chen Hao took it and opened it. The content of the memorial was very short. It was an urgent letter asking for help.
"Your Majesty, the ministers and others are in great danger in the Dark Valley and cannot escape. We request the imperial court to send reinforcements quickly to rescue us. Note: The reinforcements must not be in large numbers."
The signature is Chang Fifty-Fourth Prince.
"My father asked his sons to save the fifty-fourth prince and the others?"
After reading it, Chen Hao understood what the emperor meant.
Emperor Xuanqing said: "Yes, Dark Valley is not only a place name, but also a cultivating church organization that believes in evil gods. The monks inside are fanatical and extreme, act crazy, kill at every turn, and offer sacrifices to evil gods. The impact is extremely bad. The imperial court has already
I want to eradicate it.”
"According to intelligence, Dark Valley is a five-level organization. The leader of the organization is only in the Void Refining stage, and is not in the late stage of Void Refining."
"However, in order to take it seriously, the imperial court assigned the Chang Fifty-Four Royal Family to lead people to destroy it.
The Chang Fifty-Four Royal Family is in the early stage of integration, and has been fighting against internal sects for a long time. He has rich experience in suppressing bandits. With him leading the team, it should not be a big problem to eliminate the Dark Valley."
"Unexpectedly, Chang Fifty-four never came back, and there was never a reply. However, the soul lamp never went out, which means there was no accident."
"Just when the imperial court was preparing to discuss the next step, Chang Fifty-four suddenly sent a message asking for help...here, it's this memorial in your hand."
"Originally, I wanted to send a few more Fusion Stage monks to jointly investigate, but after seeing the messenger talisman, I changed my mind. After much thought, I decided to give you the task of rescuing Captain Fifty-Four."
Chen Hao twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "Father, do you think too highly of your son?
Integration stage monks like Company Commander Fifty-Four are in danger and cannot escape. How can I be saved when I am in the middle stage of becoming a god? Wouldn't this be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?"
Emperor Xuanqing smiled and said: "You don't have to be modest. The ninety-seventh prince is also a fusion monk. If he didn't, he would die in your hands. You have the strength."
Chen Hao said hurriedly: "Father, you cannot listen to rumors and wrongfully accuse me. I did not do this, and there is no evidence to prove that I killed Chang Jiuqi. I am innocent."
Emperor Xuanqing took the tea cup handed over by Zhang Sannian and took a sip: "With me, you don't have to pretend, and I won't hold you accountable.
Of course, I know that even if there are weird nightmares, the monks in the integration stage are a bit too tall for you. The fact that you can kill ninety-seven is just a coincidence, but don't worry, the place in the Dark Valley is just right for you to show off your skills.
.”
He winked at Chen Hao.
"Why is it suitable for me to show off my skills?"
Chen Hao thought to himself and asked: "Father, my son is a little confused..." Emperor Xuanqing waved his hand: "Don't ask me, you will know when you go."
"All right."
Chen Hao knew that the emperor had made up his mind, so he had no choice but to agree.
Emperor Xuanqing said: "There is a ray of spiritual consciousness attached to the memorial. It contains the coordinates of the Dark Valley and some other information. Take it with you and set off now."
"Yes, Father."
Chen Hao was not surprised. He had felt the divine consciousness attached to the memorial just now, but the emperor didn't let him see it, so he pretended not to notice it.
"Do you know what the purpose of this mission is?"
Suddenly, Emperor Xuanqing asked again.
Chen Haodao: "Didn't you save the fifty-four royal family?"
He thought to himself: "Are you confused?
Didn’t you just say that?”
Emperor Xuanqing said: "It's been these days. Although Chang Wusi's soul lamp has not been extinguished, we don't know what happened to people. When you go, try your best to protect yourself. Save Wusi and the others if you can. Really.
Don't force it if you can't save it. The most important thing is..." When he said this, his tone suddenly became meaningful: "Bring that thing back."
"what?"
Chen Hao was stunned.
Is the emperor really old and confused?
I can't understand what is being said.
Emperor Xuanqing refused to say anything, and said mysteriously: "You will know when you go."
Chen Hao said: "Father, can you not tell me what it is? Can't you tell me directly?
Otherwise, if I don't know, wouldn't it be artificially increasing the difficulty of the task?
Or do you want to test your son?"
Emperor Xuanqing said: "It's not that I don't want to say it, but I don't know what it is. I can only vaguely feel it. But don't worry, as long as you go there, you will definitely know it."
Chen Hao sighed and said: "Okay, Father, but I have told you the ugly things in front of you. If I really can't feel it and can't bring it back, don't be angry, old man."
Emperor Xuan Qing's words were purely a hooliganism. Naturally, Chen Hao couldn't agree easily. If he arrived at the Dark Valley and couldn't sense anything, wouldn't he be dumbfounded?
Emperor Xuanqing smiled and said: "You will bring it back, if you want the secret method of transcending tribulation and ascending to more than 70%."
