Ji Tianxing galloped through the night sky, as fast as the stream of light.
About an hour later, he crossed countless mountains and arrived at the foot of Jietian Peak.
Arriving at the Imperial Court again, Ji Tianxing climbed the bluestone ladder with ease and rushed to the Imperial Court on the top of the mountain.
It was the darkness before dawn, and Jietian Peak was shrouded in the dark night, appearing quiet and peaceful.
Except for the patrolling imperial guards, there was basically no human activity on Jietian Peak.
After a while, Ji Tianxing climbed halfway up the mountain along the bluestone steps.
There is a towering mountain gate halfway up the mountain, guarded by many imperial guards.
The captain of the imperial guard wearing golden armor stopped Ji Tianxing and asked him about his identity and purpose of coming.
Ji Tianxing took out the Emperor's Order and said with a majestic tone: "I have something important to report to the Emperor's court, why don't you get out of the way?"
The captain of the imperial guard wanted to let him go, but when he saw a bloody middle-aged man in Ji Tianxing's hand, he couldn't help but take a second look.
Upon seeing this, the captain of the Imperial Guard was immediately stunned, with a flash of horror in his eyes.
He looked at it for a moment before he recognized it. The middle-aged man who was covered in bruises and was seriously injured and unconscious was actually the city lord of Liantian City!
The captain of the Imperial Guard frowned, stared at Ji Tianxing with sharp eyes, and asked: "Emperor Tianxing, what is going on?
Why was City Lord Liantian injured and why was he captured by you?"
Ji Tianxing glanced at him with cold eyes and scolded: "What does it have to do with you? This emperor wants to see the emperor, just go and report the news!"
He knew very well that although he was the noble son of the emperor, he could not easily meet the emperor.
If he could see the Imperial Master, he could successfully resolve this matter.
The captain of the Imperial Guard was scolded by him and did not dare to ask any more questions. He quickly raised his hands and said: "The Emperor Tianxing's son, His Majesty the Emperor, has been in seclusion at the Star Reaching Platform to comprehend the secrets of heaven.
The emperor's majesty cannot be disturbed, so the general can only report the news to Commander Yan, who will relay it to the emperor's majesty."
The Commander Yan he was talking about was one of the several commanders of the Imperial Guards, who guarded the Qiankun Palace and were responsible for reporting news.
Ji Tianxing frowned, and had no choice but to nod and say: "Then go and report it quickly, without delay!"
The captain of the imperial guard bowed his hands, turned around and left quickly, running towards the Qiankun Palace on the top of the mountain.
Ji Tianxing carried the unconscious Qin Zheng and stood in the square halfway up the mountain, waiting patiently.
In order to prevent Qin Zheng from being too seriously injured and dying early due to excessive bleeding, he had to use his martial arts to suppress Qin Zheng's injuries and let him live for a few more hours.
…
On the top of the mountain, in the imperial court.
There is a magnificent palace on the left side of Qiankun Palace, which is the East Palace and is the residence of Emperor Long Yunxiao.
It was late at night, but he had no intention of sleeping or practicing. He was sitting on the roof of the East Palace, leaning on the eaves paved with glazed gold tiles.
His face was as calm as water, with a faint blush, and his eyes were staring at the crescent moon and dots of stars in the night, silent and silent.
He was holding a white jade wine flask in his hand, and from time to time he raised his head and drank a few sips of strong wine.
The wine in the jug is not a spiritual fruit wine that enhances one’s power, but a real strong wine that is spicy in the throat and burns the heart.
Long Yunxiao rarely drank alcohol in the past, and even if he did drink it, it was the spiritual fruit wine that was as good as nectar.
But since he chose his concubine, he has been drinking more and more, and he only drinks strong liquor.
Now, he had been sitting on the roof for most of the night, and the strong wine in the pot was almost finished.
Long Yunxiao raised his head again and drank the last sip of strong wine left in the pot, his handsome face becoming even redder.
Not far behind him, on the roof, stood a beautiful lady in green clothes, it was An Suwan.
The moonlight shone on her body, making her figure hazy and shadowy. In addition to being charming and beautiful, she also felt a bit cold and desolate.
She looked quietly at Long Yunxiao, who was leaning on the eaves, with a touch of worry and love in her clear eyes.
But she could only watch, but was unable to say anything to persuade him.
At this moment, a golden figure appeared on the square in front of the palace not far away.
That was the captain of the imperial guard guarding the mountain gate. He rushed to the top of the mountain as fast as the wind, and was about to cross the square and rush to Qiankun Palace.
Long Yunxiao caught a glimpse of the captain of the Imperial Guard out of the corner of his eye, and immediately frowned.
"Whoosh!"
His figure flashed, piercing the night sky as fast as a stream of light, flying hundreds of meters away, and stopped the captain of the imperial guard.
"Why are you so panicked in the middle of the night?"
Long Yunxiao looked at the captain of the imperial guard and asked with a majestic tone.
The captain of the Imperial Guard quickly stopped, bowed and said: "See you, Your Majesty the Emperor!"
To report to the emperor, an emperor named Ji Tianxing is waiting at the gate of the mountain, saying that he has something important to report to the emperor."
"Ji Tianxing?" Long Yunxiao frowned again, a flash of doubt in his eyes, "What is he here for?"
The captain of the Guards answered truthfully: "My subordinates asked him the reason for his visit, but he refused to reveal it.
He held City Lord Liantian in his hands, and City Lord Liantian was covered in bruises and was seriously injured and unconscious. It was too miserable to look at.
Seeing that he seemed to have bad intentions, his subordinates temporarily left him under the mountain gate and were about to go to Qiankun Palace to report the news to Commander Yan..."
After hearing the words of the captain of the Imperial Guard, Long Yunxiao's brows knitted together, his eyes changed continuously, and countless thoughts immediately flashed through his mind.
"Qin Zheng, the Lord of Liantian City, seems to be a lackey under the Third Prince.
How could Ji Tianxing capture Qin Zheng and seriously injure Qin Zheng? Did he have a conflict with Qin Zheng?
No! Ji Tianxing brought Qin Zheng to see the Imperial Master overnight, there must be something important.
Commander Yan, who guards Qiankun Palace, is also the confidant of the third prince.
If Commander Yan were to learn the news, he would probably report the news to the Third Prince first.
If the Third Prince intervenes in this matter, Ji Tianxing will definitely be in trouble if he wants to protect the Lord of Liantian City..."
At this time, Long Yunxiao was completely drunk and his mind was very clear. He could analyze and deduce a lot of information in the blink of an eye.
He remained calm on the surface and said in a majestic tone: "There is no need to report this matter to Qiankun Palace. You can bring Ji Tianxing to the East Palace and I will handle it myself..."
The captain of the Imperial Guard had no doubts about Long Yunxiao's words, and he was even less likely to disobey him.
"I obey!" He bowed and saluted, immediately turned around and went down the mountain.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the captain of the imperial guard returned to the mountainside and said to Ji Tianxing with a solemn expression: "Emperor Tianxing, please follow me."
Ji Tianxing nodded slightly, followed him across the mountain gate, and walked along the bluestone steps to the top of the mountain.
It didn't take long for the two of them to reach the top of the mountain.
The captain of the imperial guard led Ji Tianxing through the square in front of the palace and entered the East Palace, arriving at the door of a study room.
"Emperor Tianxing, the person you want to see is in the study. I will leave now."
The captain of the guard bowed his hands, turned and left.
Ji Tianxing was puzzled, and with vigilance and vigilance, he opened the door and entered the study.
In the exquisite and elegant study room, several gemstone lamps were lit, and a handsome young man in a golden robe sat.
When Ji Tianxing saw the young man's appearance clearly, he was startled for a moment, frowned and said, "It's actually you?"
