Emperor Phoenix Policy: Feng Qingtian

Chapter 466: Mystery Unites 1
"What's wrong?"

Pei Xiu looked up in confusion, Wuming frowned, "The order is wrong!"

Pei Xiu was startled for a moment, and then came to understand little by little. He opened his mouth wide, then slowly lowered his body again, knocking his forehead on the bluestone slab at the entrance of the palace, "Thank you, Your Majesty the Empress, and thank you, Your Majesty, the emperor."

Feng Jin tugged at Wuming's sleeve, and said softly, "What do you care about such a trivial matter? Who is in front and who is behind, what difference does it make?"

Wuming smiled slightly, without explaining, but said to Pei Xiu through the curtain, "I will remember it later."

"The humble minister would like to obey the emperor's will."

Until the carriage disappeared at the main gate of the palace, Pei Xiu was still staring blankly at the empty palace gate. It wasn't until the cold night wind blew that he seemed to wake up and pinched his palm hard, causing him to grin his teeth in pain.

It really hurts!It seems that it is not a dream!

He's finally recovering!
As soon as he left the mountain, he was Wailang, a member of the third-rank official department. The official department is the most important department among the six departments. It is in charge of the promotion and relegation of officials. It is impossible to remove Wu Qingshan's position as Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Then, the emperor put him in the official department, which has a lot of meaning.

Either, his official position will stop at the second-rank Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and he will be suppressed by Wu Qingshan for the rest of his life, or he will skip Wu Qingshan directly and be promoted to - Prime Minister of the State!
The emperor handles state affairs with a stronger hand than the empress, and is also more straightforward than the empress, which saves a lot of time. Therefore, although the prime minister has been vacant recently, the affairs of the state are still running smoothly. The vacancy of the prime minister means that the emperor and the empress have no suitable candidates , at least in the hearts of the empress and the emperor, no one can replace him for the time being, which also shows that he can fight hard!
Since the birth of His Royal Highness, the Empress has focused more on the prince, and the emperor is handling all major national affairs. It can be said that the emperor means that the final decision is made.

There was a surge of pride and ambition in Pei Xiu's heart, even more exciting than when he was first promoted to the Prime Minister by the late emperor.

The first emperor's ears are soft, a little weak, and vacillating. Otherwise, he would not be ostracized by the queen mother in the later period. It is not difficult to obtain the reuse of the first emperor, but the empress and the emperor are different. Mild and gentle, Dijun is more iron-blooded, but his mind and purpose are the same, nothing more than turning a few corners and going straight to the point.

To get the empress and emperor's reuse, especially the emperor, is simply difficult to reach the sky.

This time, he will never have any thoughts that he shouldn't have and annoy the emperor, and the emperor will never be as merciful as the empress.

Pei Xiu returned to Pei's mansion full of ambitions. Now that the Pei family is not here, he is the only one in the imperial capital, with a few servants, the housekeeper Pei Zhong, and Yan Shisan. Therefore, he only bought a small house. The prime minister's mansion has been taken back by the queen.

"Pei Zhong, call the tailor right away! The best tailor in the entire imperial capital!"

As soon as Pei Xiu stepped into the door, he said loudly in a happy mood, the yard was quiet, and there was no sound.

Pei Xiu immediately felt bad, and his right hand was tightly held on the hilt of the sword.

An invisible force hit Pei Xiu's wrist hard, the long sword dropped from his hand, and fell to the floor with a clang, making a dull sound.

Pei Xiu felt as if his wrist had been broken, and was in excruciating pain. He clutched his wrist and looked around vigilantly, "Who? A man who hides his head and shows his tail, what kind of hero is he?"

A person came out from under the corridor, walked into the yard, separated from Pei Xiu by more than ten steps, and looked at Pei Xiu with deep eyes.

At the first sight of seeing each other, Pei Xiu felt very bad.

Years of career as a power minister has allowed him to develop a pair of sharp eyes, and he can tell whether the opponent is in a high position with just one glance.

And this person is definitely a person who has held a high position for many years, and that high position is a height that he cannot reach.

Looking at this person's face, he is from the Central Plains, but there shouldn't be such a person in Dazhou.

Pei Xiu frowned, suspicious, "Who the hell are you? Why are you here?"

The other party didn't answer, but just glanced at Pei Xiu with slightly dissatisfied eyes, "Why did Ye'er choose such an ordinary body?"

what?
Pei Xiu didn't understand.

Bai Zhong withdrew his scrutinizing gaze, his expression indifferent and arrogant, "Your name is Pei Xiu?"

Pei Xiu smiled coldly, "Since your Excellency has already entered Pei's mansion and subdued my guards and servants, will you not know my name?"

Bai Chong's eyes brightened slightly, "It's still a bit clever, not too bad."

Bai Zhong's praise did not satisfy Pei Xiu, he sneered, "May I ask, are my guards and servants still alive?"

"Of course they are alive. They are just knocked unconscious by Gu. Gu has no habit of killing people randomly, and they are not qualified to be killed by Gu."

Pei Xiu's eyes flashed, "Gu? Which country are you the emperor of?"

The countries around the Great Zhou, even the emperors, did not have the habit of calling themselves solitary, solitary, zhen, and widowed people, only the emperor of the Great Zhou had the habit of calling themselves solitary.

His eyes became sharp, and he stared at Bai Chong, "Who the hell are you?"

"You don't have to care who Gu is, anyway, Gu is here to help you."

Bai Chong's words did not make Pei Xiu let go of his guard, but made him more suspicious, "Are you from the Xuanyuan clan in the previous dynasty? Are you Xuanyuanhao's brother?"

Judging from this person's age, he is in his early forties, not like Xuanyuanzhen's brother, but rather like Xuanyuanzhen's uncle or something.

"The Xuanyuan family?"

Bai Chong sneered, "Gu hates people with the surname Xuanyuan the most!"

"Then who are you?"

Seeing Pei Xiu kept asking, Bai Chong lost his patience, and raised his right hand casually, Pei Xiu was sent flying by an invisible force, flew upside down for more than ten steps, fell heavily on the ground, opened his mouth, spurted a mouthful of blood, sprayed On the floor, the stars are like flowers blooming.

He struggled to get up and looked at the other person in shock. This person's skill might be higher than that of the emperor!When did Da Zhou come out with such a terrifying master?

"If you keep asking who Gu is, Gu will kill you!"

Bai Chong said coldly, he frowned deeply, and stared at Pei Xiu suspiciously and shocked, "Do you want to be emperor?"

Pei Xiu was stunned, "What did you say?"

"Gu only ask once, do you want to? If you want to, Gu will help you ascend the throne. If you don't want to, Gu will not ask anything."

Bai Chong's tone was flat, and he couldn't tell the emotion, nor could he tell the truth.

Pei Xiu was full of suspicion, "Are you sent by the emperor to test me?"

"Emperor? Xuanyuan Ling?"

Bai Zhong smiled sarcastically, "He and Gu Shi are in the same boat, they are sworn enemies!"

Seeing that Pei Xiu still didn't believe it, Bai Chong took it for the sake of being Bai Ye's host, and explained patiently, "Let me tell you, Gu hates Xuanyuan Ling and Feng Jin very much, and I want to help you to the top. , eradicate them!"

"You don't have to answer Gu in a hurry. Gu will give you three days to see if you want to climb up step by step with difficulty. In the end, you will only reach the position of Prime Minister, or you will succeed in one fell swoop and ascend to the throne of God."

Pei Xiu frowned and looked at Bai Chong, "Dazhou has hundreds of thousands of troops..."

"Hundreds of thousands? Less than 15 are available today. The recruits have joined the army and are still in training."

Bai Chong's tone was extremely disdainful. He didn't pay attention to the so-called army at all. Pei Xiu's eyes flickered slightly, "Even if it's only 15, it's still very powerful. I don't have a single soldier in my hand..."

"You don't have it, but someone does. You just need to agree to Gu, and Gu will help you succeed."

"Why are you helping me?"

Pei Xiu didn't believe in the pie falling from the sky, he suspected that this person had ulterior motives.

"Let's put it this way, Gu is not helping you, but helping another person, helping Gu himself."

He needed the Central Plains Continent, but with Feng Jin and Xuanyuan Ling around, it would be difficult to take the Central Plains Continent for himself.

"You don't have to agree, but Gu believes that most people want to join hands with Gu."

Seeing that Pei Xiu was still hesitant, Bai Zhong said lightly.

Bai Chong's words undoubtedly aroused the nerve deep in Pei Xiu's heart again. He bit his lips, "With the emperor around, it is impossible to make things happen. How can the emperor solve it?"

"Gu will take care of him, you just need to wait to become the emperor."

Bai Chong's tone was light, although the spirit fox said that Xuanyuan Ling's body was a flood dragon and an ancient god, it might help him enter the supreme realm, he couldn't kill Xuanyuan Ling, he didn't say he couldn't control him, and damage his body. Cultivation, trapped him in a cage.

It's just the spiritual power of the sixth level of the Nine Heavens Star Jue, and it's easy to catch him.

He showed up by the Yanhe River before, and let Xuanyuanling see him on purpose. Although Xuanyuanling had been reincarnated and didn't remember him, seeing the vigilance and fear on Xuanyuanling's face, Bai Chong felt very happy.

Xuanyuan Ling must have felt the gap between himself and his opponent, knowing that with his current strength, he would not be able to protect the person he wanted to protect, so he would show fear, right?
Bai Chong has always had a knot in his heart. One year, he went to Lingshan to visit Xuanyuan Ling. That year he had already entered the ninth level. He tried his best to enter the supreme realm, but he couldn't pass it. Therefore, he went to Xuanyuan Ling asked for advice.

At that time, he waited at the foot of Lingshan Mountain for three days and three nights before he was summoned by Xuanyuan Ling.

He originally thought that Xuanyuan Ling had something important to do, or that he was practicing cultivation, which made him wait for so long, but after he went up the mountain, he realized that it was because Little Phoenix didn't go out to play in those few days, and Xuanyuan Ling didn't see anyone. stay with little phoenix.

Xuanyuan Ling didn't see Little Phoenix until he got tired of staying on Lingshan Mountain and flew down to play.

He is the majestic King of Kyushu, even the Emperor of Heaven gave him a three-point face, and he has never left him like this, but Xuanyuan Ling neglected him so much, Bai Zhong was very dissatisfied, but in order to get advice, he still swallowed his anger and smiled apologetically, begging Xuanyuan Ling pointed out.

But when Xuanyuan Ling heard about this, he took a meaningful look at him and concluded, "You will never enter the Supreme Realm!"

Shocked and annoyed, he asked Xuanyuan Ling the reason, but Xuanyuan Ling just said meaningfully, "You know the reason", and asked him to go down the mountain.

Bai Chong kept holding his breath, wanting to break through, but he couldn't break through. He devoured lonely souls and wild ghosts wantonly. Finally, in order to improve his spiritual power, he began to hunt and kill spirit beasts and devour the souls of spirit beasts. But even so, he possessed so many If you have a lot of spiritual power, you just can't go up.

It has been thousands of years since he stepped into the ninth level, and he is still stuck there.

Is it really necessary to borrow the power of the ancient gods?Was it because Xuanyuan Ling stepped into the supreme realm because he was a Jiaolong?

If you kill him and swallow his soul, will it be effective?
Seeing that Bai Chong's expression kept changing, Pei Xiu's eyes flickered slightly, and he secretly observed Bai Chong, trying to guess who he was.

"Don't stare at Gu, Gu doesn't like it."

Pei Xiu's heart froze, and he quickly looked away. Bai Chong took a deep look at him, "Even if you stare at Gu for 100 years, you will not know who Gu is."

"You can tell me yourself..."

Bai Zhong snorted coldly, and his unfathomable eyes glanced at Pei Xiu's face, "You're making progress! You should be glad that you are Pei Xiu and not someone else, otherwise you would have been out of your wits."

Pei Xiu's heart moved, what did he mean by this?Could it be that he has a special status in the other party's heart?

"I will come again at this hour three days later, and I will ask for your answer when the time comes."

As soon as the words fell, Pei Xiu felt a flash of light and shadow in front of his eyes, but he couldn't see anything clearly. The middle-aged man who was standing in the yard had disappeared.

Pei Xiu's eyebrows tightened, so fast!

Until Bai Chong left for a long time, Pei Xiu still couldn't figure out why he wanted to find her.

In the palace, Feng Jin was also suspicious.

"Wu Ming, why did you decide to use Pei Xiu at this time?"

Yao'er had already been sent to sleep with Aunt Zhong, Feng Jin snuggled into Wuming's arms and asked softly.

Wuming gently caressed her smooth and delicate back, and whispered, "The time has come."

After some lingering cloud and rain, Wuming's voice was a little deep and hoarse, full of magnetism, and very charming. Hearing it in Feng Jin's ears, it moved her heart. She sighed faintly and said worriedly, "I still can't trust him, he The ambition is too big, if one is not well controlled, it is easy to turn against us."

"I don't trust him either, but he is indeed a very capable person. As long as he shows any signs of ulterior motives, I will kill him immediately and will not give him any more chances!"

Wu Mingben wanted to observe for a while longer and make a decision after the big wedding, but the person who appeared by the Yan River tonight made him make a decision in advance.

He has a premonition that the appearance of that person is a great threat, and it is likely that he cannot solve the threat. There will be a new round of storms in Da Zhou. He must first make the court and the country stable, so that he can concentrate on it. Deal with the impending crisis.

"Wu Ming, did something happen? You have been restless since you came back from Yanhe."

Wuming smiled and kissed her hair, "It's okay, just thinking that tomorrow will be the opening ceremony, I feel a little bit reluctant to part with you and Yao'er."

Feng Jin couldn't help laughing, "I live in the same palace, and it's not like we're separated, why are you so reluctant?"

Wuming smiled without saying a word, found her hand on his waist, interlocked her fingers, and wrapped her tightly around her, "I just don't want to part with you, and I don't want to part with you for a second."

Feng Jin smiled softly, her soft and joyful voice made Wuming's heart extra gentle, he patted her on the back lightly, "Go to sleep."

Until Feng Jin fell into a deep sleep, Wu Ming still didn't feel sleepy, and looked at the milky white gauze above his head with his eyes open.

Feng Jin rested on his arm, and fell asleep peacefully. Wuming carefully pulled out his hand, seeing that Feng Jin was still awake, he walked out lightly.

When they arrived at the yard, Wuming called out in a low voice: "Tang Jun!"

Since the matter of Zhong Mo was resolved and Tang Jun came back, he was promoted from deputy leader to leader, but he was no different from before.

Tang Jun appeared silently from the shadows, "What orders does the emperor have?"

"I'm going to Langshan, you stay here to guard Ajin."

Tang Jun responded in a low voice.

Just as Wuming was about to leave, he reminded him again, "Be sure to guard it! No one is allowed to enter the bedroom!"

"Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor."

Tonight, he was always a little restless. The appearance of that mysterious man with profound spiritual power disturbed his mind.

Along the way, Wuming rushed to Langshan.

The top of Mount Lang is the place with the strongest aura in the entire imperial capital, and he wants to absorb the aura.

Throughout the whole night, Wuming sat cross-legged on the bluestone slab on the top of Langshan Mountain, constantly exhaling, absorbing spiritual energy, and exhaling stale air.

From late at night to dawn, Wuming felt that a lot of spiritual energy had accumulated in his dantian, but it was still far away from a breakthrough, which made him anxious.

He didn't know whether the opponent's spiritual power was the eighth level or the ninth level, no matter how much it was, it was still much higher than him.

Those who come are not kind, and those who are kind don't come, if he doesn't break through, how can he protect Ajin and Yao'er?
Under the impatience, Wuming's breath became a little disordered, and the spiritual energy surging in the eight meridians also became chaotic, and rushed to his forehead. Under the impact, Wuming only felt a fishy sweetness in his throat, and he opened his mouth with a black mouthful. Blood.

Wuming suddenly realized that he was too impatient and almost lost his temper.

Practicing spiritual energy has always been a matter of letting nature take its course and progressing step by step. There is no rush or greed.

Nameless suppressed the restless emotions in his heart, slowly swallowed and exhaled his breath, and it took a while to calm down the aura in his body.

He saw that the sky was getting brighter, and the time for morning court was approaching. He thought about going back to the palace, but after thinking about it, he decided to go to Daxiangguo Temple.

The last time Tianhe and the sect master teamed up to rescue Ah Jin, and the last time Tianhe cast a spell to restore the regressing spiritual power in his body, he felt that Tianhe knew a lot of things, maybe he would also know about that mysterious person .

When we arrived at Daxiangguo Temple, Wuming went straight to Tianhe's meditation room, but Tianhe was not there. The monks in the temple told Wuming that in recent days, Zen Master Tianhe was recuperating on the back mountain, so Wuming went to the top of the back mountain.

When I got there, I saw only parrots and fox corpses all over the ground, but there was no peace.

Wuming recalled that the last time Ah Jin was reborn, there were many corpses of parrots and foxes in the courtyard of the palace. He later asked the ministers present at that time, and they all said that the parrots were summoned by the sect master, and the foxes were summoned by Tianhe, but they did not I don't know why these parrots and foxes listen to the door master and Tianhe Zen master, and I don't know why these animals commit suicide.

Wuming felt that the doubts about Tianhe and the sect master were getting bigger and bigger, and he wanted to ask them a lot of questions.

"Tianhe!"

Wuming called Tianhe Zen Master's name loudly, but no one responded.

"Sect Master!"

Still no response.

Tianhe was trapped in the small world. In fact, he could feel the airflow outside the small world changed, but he didn't know who was coming, and he couldn't hear the nameless voice.

But he could feel someone coming, Tianhe hit the invisible wall of the small world forcefully, shouting loudly.

Wuming, who was standing outside, suddenly felt an inexplicable gust of wind, which seemed to come from beside him.

Wuming looked at every place on the top of the mountain. He felt a little weird, but he couldn't tell what was weird.

He observed everything silently. He could hear the sound of the wind, the sound of birds, the sound of falling leaves, the sound of insects chirping in the depths of the bushes, and in the mountains in the sky, a round of red sun was rising, and the golden-red rays of light covered the whole world. earth.

Everything is normal, but Wuming just feels something is wrong.

He looked at the sun, the sun was dazzling, bright and warm, the golden red light shot straight on his body, and also fell on the corpses of foxes and parrots all over the ground.

A gust of wind blows, and the feathers fly up, eloquently, like a snowfall.

Wuming gazed through the feathers all over the sky, and looked at the pile of fox corpses ahead, his gaze gradually became sharp, deep, and cold.

Wuming strode to the fox corpse and looked at the pile of fox corpses. They were piled up on the ground, forming a semicircular arc, neatly arranged, as if a semicircular wall was built over there. , They hit the wall and fell off, that's why they died so neatly.

But there is no wall at all!
Wuming looked back at the dead parrots, they were all scattered, scattered everywhere, covered with a thick layer, even hanging on the cliffs and branches, there was only one spot missing, that place should be Where the shooter stands, this is the normal way to scatter corpses.

Wuming looked at the fox pile again, he slowly stretched out his hand, and poked inside the semicircle, everything was normal.

what happened?

Is it just a coincidence?Or did someone arrange the fox corpses so neatly on purpose?Who would be so idle and have nothing to do?
Wuming didn't know that Bai Zhong created a small world here, which is equivalent to a virtual small world, which is parallel to the real world. From the perspective of the real world, this small world will not affect the real world.

It's a spell.

Although Wuming didn't understand, his innate keen intuition of ancient gods told him that there was a problem here.

Tianhe, who was trapped inside, was in a hurry. He was seriously injured and his cultivation base was greatly damaged. He couldn't tear out the gap in the small world, and he couldn't get in touch with people outside.

Although he didn't know who it was, it was definitely not Bai Zhong.

Just when Tianhe was burning with anxiety, he suddenly thought of something. He is a spirit fox. Although he cannot communicate with other people, he can communicate with the foxes of his own clan. The reason for desperately bumping into the small world.

Tianhe calmed down, focused all his attention, and began to let his breath out.

Others can't receive it, but the Fox Clan can.

The spirit fox is the most noble existence of the fox clan. It has a unique smell and breath, and the nearby foxes can feel it no matter what is separated.
