Aunt, please don't chase me. I don't want to be the emperor.

There are twelve national gods in Daxuan, although Cheng Longjiu is the last one.

But in fact, he is the strongest!

Do you remember that among the fifteen peerless masters I mentioned before, twelve of them were from the Great Zhou?

So who are the remaining three?

One of them is Cheng Longjiu!

Whether in the Daxuan or Dazhou eras, Dieying had always operated in the dark. He never trusted anyone, never cooperated with anyone, and even rejected Daxuan's support, remaining a loner and quite unusual.

During the Daxuan period, Dieying was completely famous throughout the world and became the nightmare of all the leaders of the major sects and chambers of commerce, who were afraid that their competitors would hire Dieying and take their heads.

Even during the period of the Great Zhou's restoration, Dieying's activities were still rampant, and he was a wanted target of the Great Zhou.

However, the results were not good, and the operation to capture them was extremely difficult.

But the only thing to be thankful for is that this butterfly shadow seems to have no contact with other remnants of the Daxuan Party and belongs to an independent organization.

Ji Xian had been guessing who had the ability to escape his perception, and finally he thought of Dieying and Cheng Longjiu.

Now it seems that I guessed it right!

Ji Xian could never have imagined that during her travels in the martial arts world, she would actually encounter Dieying, whom the seven secret guards had been unable to find, and even have a head-on fight with Dieying's Yang Shen!

"Are you Cheng Longjiu?"

Ji Xian swung his sword again and asked this question at the same time.

The two men fought from the narrow room to the dark corridor, the swords and sabers flashed and the sparks flew, dazzling the eyes.

However, the black-robed man in front of him completely ignored it and just responded to Ji Xian's attack, while also seizing the opportunity to counterattack.

At this moment, Ji Xian missed the attack, and the man in black robe seized the opportunity to counterattack. In an instant, several red blade auras like bat fangs bit towards Ji Xian, trying to tear Ji Xian into pieces.

Ji Xian's Sky Blood Sword swung in place, seemingly ordinary, but the sword energy it swung was so powerful that it instantly shattered the red blood tooth.

"Are you dumb?"

Seeing that the other party didn't say anything from beginning to end, Ji Xian couldn't help but ask another question.

The man in black robe still didn't say anything, he just stood there like a statue.

Ji Xian was speechless. What a weirdo this guy was. She had never met such a strange guy before.

At this time, the man in black robe moved again.

At this time, a gust of wind blew from the exit of the passage at the back. Under the moonlight, one could see a black windbreaker fluttering in the wind, but he was wearing a hood, and his face was still in shadow and could not be seen.

Cheng Longjiu kicked off with one foot and leaped backwards. It looked like he was jumping but in fact he was flying, and he was about to retreat out of the passage.

Want to go?

Ji Xian certainly couldn't let him go so easily, and immediately chased after him. The Undead Sword thrust forward, unleashing a sword energy that sounded like the howling of ghosts and gods.

But the man in black robe blocked Ji Xian's attack with his red knife, and was blown away by the impact and flew directly out of the cabin.

But at this time he activated his spiritual power and flew upwards, directly flying high into the sky, and his dark windbreaker blended into the night.

Ji Xian chased to the second deck and looked up at the night sky. She saw a man in a black robe floating in the sky, waving a red knife in his hand, and a light like a red moon bloomed, which made people feel ominous and uneasy.

The light spread, dyeing the sky bright red, and even the moonlight was dyed red.

The sign of destruction!

Ji Xian saw at a glance that this guy was displaying a form of world-destruction that was enough to change the color of heaven and earth.

If he were to strike with this blow, the ship would be split in half.

Ji Xian immediately grasped the Tianxue Ji sword tightly, and the spiritual power on the sword burned like boiling blood, like a volcano that could erupt at any time, ready to go.

The next second, Ji Xian and the man in black robe attacked at the same time.

The blood-red spiritual power that was enough to dye the sky and moonlight red transformed into a crescent-shaped blade that flew down and slashed towards the ship.

Ji Xian slashed his sword towards the sky, and a red sword light cut through the night sky, instantly shattering the black-robed man's half-moon sword energy, and even splitting the red sky together!

The blood-red sky was split in two, and then shattered with a "pop", turning into nothingness and disintegrating.

If you dye the sky red, I will split the sky in half for you!

This is the bloody thirty-six swords that Emperor Xingzong taught Ji Xian, the peerless magic skill created by Beimo Tianxue Ji herself. It is full of heroic spirit and unstoppable.

However, Ji Xian immediately looked up into the sky.

The shattered blood-red sky gradually returned to normal, but the black-robed man in the night sky disappeared.

Ji Xian could sense the fluctuations of his spiritual energy, which had gradually moved away from the ship and was heading north. If it wasn't fast, Ji Xian could chase him, but he couldn't. Because that fat guy, Jin Ren, was still in Room 7, he couldn't fall for his trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain.

"By the way, was that Cheng Longjiu just now, or was it..."

Ji Xian turned and walked towards Room 7, and began to think about this problem again.

There are wanted warrants for all the Yangshen of the Daxuan rebels. What do they look like?

What does it look like...

Ji Xian tried to recall, and then he found that he couldn't remember.

It’s over. I must not have been listening when someone in the palace was talking to me!

Besides, that guy was wearing a hood just now, and his face was in shadow so I couldn’t see it at all!

What if Luoxue catches up with me and asks me this question...

"Just say it's Cheng Longjiu, 100% Cheng Longjiu."

"Well, the worst that can happen is that I'll be exposed later and get scolded."

"Well, let's just make a happy decision."

Ji Xian casually thought of a solution. For him, the worst result would be to be taught a lesson by Su Luoxue again.

As for being taught a lesson, Ji Xian can calmly say: You'll get used to it.

Yes, I'm used to it.

Whether it was playing badly or being scolded, Ji Xian had long been accustomed to it.

2.12 His Majesty the Emperor is also slacking off today

In the early morning, the capital Chang'an was still prosperous, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, enjoying this hard-earned peace and prosperity.

But the atmosphere in the palace was very depressing. This morning, all the civil and military officials went to court as usual. After arriving at the Golden Palace, they all knelt down and paid homage to the lofty dragon throne.

"Kowtow to the emperor, long live my emperor!"

However, all the civil and military officials knelt down, but there was no one sitting on the dragon throne.

Afterwards, the Golden Palace was completely silent, and no one spoke.

After a while, the ministers stood up one by one after kneeling, some of them were still wiping cold sweat.

Alas, when will this day end?

Kneeling in front of an empty dragon throne all day long, I have never done such a thing in all these years as an official!

Some people grumbled and complained in their hearts, but after complaining, they still went to see the prime minister one by one with their memorials.

At present, all government affairs in the court are temporarily handled by Prime Minister Di Qingtian. Under his governance, there is no chaos in the Great Zhou Dynasty. However, it is a bit troublesome that no one kneels on the dragon throne all day long.

"Prime Minister, when will this day end?"

Some people even couldn't help but ask Di Qingtian, "Even though the previous emperor was a piece of shit, at least there were people who looked after him. But now that the emperor has actually run away, who knows if he will do something even more outrageous in the future?"

If something like this really happened, wouldn't it be these ministers who would be in trouble?

"It's almost there." Di Qingtian simply dealt with the ministers: "Just wait for Chief Minister Su to bring His Majesty back."

Just wait until His Majesty is captured...

Listen, what a speech this is!

Your Majesty, what have you done!!!

The ministers had all experienced times of turmoil and wars of restoration, and after the Great Zhou's restoration, they all strove to assist the then-Emperor Xingzong, which enabled the restoration of peace and prosperity in the shortest possible time. It can be said that every single one of these officials, both civil and military, was loyal, devoted, and united, and therefore their perspective on issues was naturally based on the best interests of the Great Zhou.

The Great Zhou had such an emperor, what was it going to do in the future...

But Di Qingtian could only smile and couldn't say anything more.

Then, Di Qingtian sent someone to take a large pile of memorials to the Imperial Study. Su Luoxue had specially approved this study for Di Qingtian to use as a place to handle state affairs before leaving.

So Di Qingtian handled state affairs in the imperial study, but he did not sit in Ji Xian's seat. Instead, he moved an embroidered stool and sat on the other side of the desk to review memorials.

Even if he could use the imperial study, Di Qingtian would not dare to overstep his bounds.

Di Qingtian reviewed until noon and had reviewed about half of it.

At this time, someone came in from outside the imperial study: "Oh, why are you sitting here today?"

Di Qingtian looked over when he heard the voice and saw a young man in a blue robe. He looked gentle and refined, with the temperament of a scholar.

This man had an easy-going temperament. When he met Di Qingtian, he acted very familiar with him. He was not as respectful as other ministers to the prime minister.

The other party's status and position were indeed such that Ji Xian didn't need to be polite when meeting the Emperor.

Instead, Di Qingtian immediately stood up and bowed towards the door: "Greetings, Uncle Master."

In the Great Zhou, there are only three people whom Di Qingtian can call his uncles. One is the great military strategist Pang Yuanchu, and the other is the national strategist Zhang Mengxuan. However, the people standing at the door are not these two.

He is the Grand Tutor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and also the Fox Commander of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Kong Mingliang!

Kong Mingliang smiled and waved the feather fan in his hand. He walked up to Di Qingtian and said, "I've told you before that you don't have to be so reserved. You are the Prime Minister, and I am the Grand Tutor. I would be embarrassed if you bowed to me."

"As I should." Di Qingtian also smiled, then asked, "I didn't expect that my uncle-master would return to Chang'an so early. Did your trip to Western Xinjiang go smoothly?"

"Not bad, not bad. I've found out what the twelve realms of yin and yang are used for."

"real!"

"Of course I did. I rushed to the capital as soon as I found out, ready to tell His Majesty and Xue'er the good news." But Kong Mingliang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's just that I received a message from Xue'er before I even returned to the capital."

"Master Uncle also knows about His Majesty's affairs?"

"Yes." Kong Mingliang shrugged and sighed with a smile: "Alas, the entire court kneels before the empty dragon throne every day. Throughout history, only our Majesty can do such a thing."

Before assisting the Great Zhou, Kong Mingliang served as Imperial Preceptor and Prime Minister of the Shu Dynasty, assisting the last two Shu emperors. Following the fall of the Shu Dynasty, he founded the God of Wealth Society, becoming filthy rich and powerful enough to rival a nation. Later, he aided Emperor Xingzong in the Restoration War to restore the Great Zhou and was once again appointed an official.

Including Emperor Xingzong and Ji Xian, Kong Mingliang has assisted four emperors in two dynasties.

But among these people, no one is more outrageous than Ji Xian.

"I wonder what my uncle-master is planning?" Di Qingtian knew that Kong Mingliang would not just stay idle in Chang'an, but would definitely take some action.

As expected, Kong Mingliang replied, "I have ordered Yunlong to lead the Sky Fox Guard to the Tang Sect and conduct a search throughout Liangzhou. I will head east myself."

"Go east, where to?"

"Yangzhou."

"Yangzhou, does Master Uncle think His Majesty will be there?"

"Isn't Xue'er there? I trust her judgment."

Kong Mingliang didn't know where Ji Xian would go, but he believed in Su Luoxue's judgment. Now that Su Luoxue was in Yangzhou, Ji Xian was most likely in Yangzhou.

Kong Mingliang is the Grand Tutor. He has been teaching Su Luoxue and Ji Xian since they were young, so he really knows them very well.

More and more people want to capture Ji Xian, and each one is more powerful than the last.

And where is Ji Xian at this time?

The boat sailed for another day and finally arrived at Qianqiu County in Yangzhou.

The garrison in Qianqiu County had received the message long ago and boarded the ship to provide support as soon as the ship docked. Only then did everyone on the ship finally breathe a sigh of relief.

After the Qianqiu County generals met with the captain, they immediately went to room seven to find Ji Xian and Jin Ren.

However, when they arrived, no one was in the house.

They are gone.

.......

"Hey, hero, why don't we seek protection from the government and have them escort us back to Jiangdu? Instead, why do we want to go on our own?"
