"His Holiness the Pope!"
When Eunuch Jin saw the person coming, he was the first to react and hurried over to salute.
In exchange for a smile from the white-robed Pope.
Cao Xianxian just nodded slightly as a greeting.
The groom named Gao Meng smiled and said, "The last time the Pope went to the Southern Kingdom as the envoy of Daxia, I went to pick you up outside the country. In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed and I am already very old. Even though you are tired, Pope, you are still as graceful as ever!"
"Brother Gao Meng is joking, you are already a demon half-saint who has withstood seven thunders from the sky, and your body is almost immortal. How can you talk about your age?"
The Pope said, "Most of them are still working on the foreign affairs of the South."
Gao Meng smiled bitterly and shook his head, not wanting to say more.
He just glanced at the warm sedan and said, "Are you looking for His Highness?"
The Pope shook his head and said, "Your Highness has a distinguished status. How can I, a warlock from the Star Reaching Tower, meet her in private? It's not polite. Your Majesty will personally summon you in a few days. I am here today to be entrusted by Your Majesty to lead the new Hanlin Academy monks." Xu Xingmu went to the palace to meet the saint and found out that he was in Kunci Palace, so he rushed over. However, he didn't want to see Brother Gao Meng's wood magic from a distance, and he felt itchy for a while, so he took action. I hope you can forgive me. "
"The magic of wood is a trivial skill, but it cannot be said to be universal. The Pope should not make fun of others."
Gao Meng humbled himself, and then asked, "Then shall I call Master Xu to come over?"
The Pope shook his head and said, "Don't worry, wait until His Highness finishes talking."
He was smiling, and his deep eyes only stayed on the warm sedan for a moment, and then quickly turned away, with an inexplicable charm and profound meaning in his expression.
Eunuch Jin and Cao Xianxian, who were standing aside, were a little surprised when they heard the conversation between the two. This groom was so familiar with the Pope. It seemed that his identity was not simple.
And isn’t the person in the Zhu Lun Nuan sedan a messenger from the Southern Kingdom? How did you become your highness?
It was rumored that the Demon King had magical powers and had access to the gods. He had sought the way of heaven and could no longer find any heirs. He had recruited demon clans into his harem for thousands of years and worked hard day and night. Finally, by the blessing of heaven, he and the Demon Queen gave birth to a daughter. Treating her like a treasure...could it be her? The princess of the southern demon clan?
Thinking of this, the two father-in-laws were a little shocked.
Unexpectedly, the envoy from the Southern Kingdom this time turned out to be the princess of the demon clan. It seems that the dean's being trapped in the snowfield caused quite a stir!
Since the Demon King has decided to save people, he is definitely not just talking casually, he is going to take action!
It's just that Your Majesty... Eunuch Jin and Cao Xianxian looked at each other, with a trace of worry flashing in their eyes.
As Gao Meng said, Emperor Minglong of Great Xia has only focused on the Jingshen Formation in recent days, and just wants to refine it as quickly as possible. How can he have time to take care of the dean?
In Emperor Minglong's view, as long as he completely controls the Shocking God Formation, Daxia will not be afraid of the demons even without the dean. In this case, why send people to the snowy fields to die?
Especially in recent years, the academy's reputation in Tai'an City has become stronger and stronger, and the dean's prestige in the court has also become higher and higher. It has a tendency to overshadow the majesty of Emperor Minglong's royal family. This is a very dangerous signal. .
Emperor Minglong seemed to be indifferent on the surface, and even praised the dean many times in front of all the officials for his hard work and great achievements. He had devoted all his efforts to the Great Xia Dynasty for many years and deserved to enjoy the Ancestral Temple.
But only Eunuch Jin and Cao Xianxian, the two housekeepers who always accompany you, know that your majesty has lost his temper more than once in the palace, cursing the dean for stretching his hands too far and taking care of everything. Xia Chao might as well be named Kong!
Perhaps in His Majesty's heart, he longed for the dean to die in the snowfield, right?
Of course, these words can only be discussed in private. If it is really spread, I am afraid that not only the academy will be outraged, but also the officials of the imperial court and the people of the Great Xia Dynasty will be chilled.
After another half hour, the conversation in front of the warm sedan finally came to an end.
After learning that the Pope was coming, the conversation between Bai Ningyue and Xu Xingmu quickly switched to poetry and poetry.
The two pretended to communicate about the differences and similarities between the poetry of the Great Xia Dynasty and that of the Southern Kingdom, and analyzed and elaborated on each other's poetry writing experiences to a certain extent. Finally, they thought that the drama should be enough, so they Start nodding and saying goodbye to each other.
Everything is natural.
The two horses wanted to wait for Gao Meng to come over before leaving, but Bai Ningyue didn't seem to want to stay long.
She looked a little tired in the sedan, and ordered the two horses to take her back first. When the wheels turned, she leaned against the window and prepared to rest for a while.
Before her clear blue eyes closed, she happened to see Xu Xingmu's back as he was drifting away. For some reason, she remembered the strange thoughts in his heart. She couldn't help but blush, and softly spat, "Mr. Taibai's." You haven't learned half of the swordsmanship, but you have learned 90% of the romantic and unruly temperament... Want to know what it feels like to sleep with a banshee? Then it depends on whether you can live well until the day when you become the Lord of the North... You have to know that the body of the demon race is much stronger than that of your human race. If you don’t have a strong enough body, you won’t be able to withstand it.”
The wheels rolled, and the warm sedan quickly went away, and soon disappeared into the boundaries of Kunci Palace.
The Pope withdrew his distant gaze and suddenly smiled, "It seems that Your Highness doesn't want to see me. Brother Gao Meng, you didn't even have time to say hello, so she left in a hurry."
Gao Meng shook his head, "Pope, you are joking again. His Majesty, she treats everyone like this, but it is not against you... You should have seen His Highness's temper last time when you went to the South Kingdom. He was quite proud. Even the Demon King is I can’t say a few words to her. Alas, with His Highness’s cold expression, I don’t know if I can get married.”
The Pope looked at Xu Xingmu, who was walking over, and said half-jokingly, "I think His Highness and Xu Xingmu were chatting happily. They could talk about poetry and songs for such a long time. It seems that they are quite compatible. There will be more in the future." If given the opportunity, we can develop it.”
Hearing this, Gao Meng chuckled and did not answer.
But his heart thumped for no reason. He wondered if his Wood God Barrier could not block the Pope's exploration?
Did the other party hear everything?
Gao Meng suddenly felt uneasy and had no intention of staying here anymore.
When Xu Xingmu arrived, he was ready to leave, "His Holiness, Mr. Xu, I have to go back quickly, otherwise the master can't find anyone, and I will be in big trouble."
The Pope nodded, "Brother Gao Meng, go slowly! I will visit you again in a few days!"
Xu Xingmu suddenly looked at Gao Meng seriously, hesitating to speak.
Gao Meng immediately looked at him and looked at him, "What, Mr. Xu, do you have something to say?"
"I'm just curious..."
Xu Xingmu was a little embarrassed, "What kind of monster are you? Can you reveal your true form so that I can see the world?"
Eunuch Jin and Cao Xianxian also came over at some point. Obviously they also wanted to know what kind of demon Gao Meng was.
The Pope spoke at this time and asked with a smile, "Tell me, what did Brother Gao Meng's move like the Wood God Barrier just now look like?"
Eunuch Jin immediately shouted, "Our home looks like a lush green grassland!"
"That's right, it's the grassland..."
The pope spoke again as if he were playing a riddle, "The innate magical powers of the monsters are often consistent with their true nature... Think about it, who likes running on the grassland the most? In other words, when it comes to the grassland, what comes to your mind first? What is it?"
"Could it be that it's a horse?"
Xu Xingmu suddenly remembered the scene when Gao Meng scolded the two horses pulling the cart, and then thought of the barrier of the wood god that looked like a grassland. He looked at Gao Meng with some uncertainty, "Are you a horse?"
"To be precise, it's a Pegasus."
Gao Meng smiled, "The kind with wings."
