Eight years have passed like a fleeting moment.
Shangyang Palace.
The palace door that had been sealed for a long time reopened. Chen Yi walked out of the palace with one step, and exhaled the turbid air: "Huh, finally the impurities in the body have been removed."
"See the Emperor."
Hearing the noise, the young maid in charge of serving hurriedly came forward to greet him. Chen Yi squinted from the corner of his eye, the sword energy leaked out, the air rippled slightly, and two strands of black hair fell off.
The maid's delicate body trembled, thinking that she had done something wrong, and she kowtowed subconsciously.
"No need."
Chen Yi took the lead, holding a girl in one hand, smiling as lightly as a spring breeze, his eyebrows as bright as the stars and the moon, and said softly: "I'm sorry, I got carried away for a moment and didn't notice you."
"I don't dare, slave."
The ones who are qualified to be sent to Shangyang Palace are naturally not ordinary maids: both of them have golden elixir level cultivation, and can be considered top-notch even in the circle of great masters.
but.
When facing Chen Yi, the pressure still doubled involuntarily, as if he was walking on thin ice.
They had a premonition.
If the other party really wants to kill them, all it takes is a look, nothing more!
His head was buried deeper.
Chen Yi shook his head, smiled helplessly, changed the subject and asked casually:
"Where is your emperor?"
The maid on the left saluted and replied respectfully: "Back to the Emperor, His Majesty is discussing matters with the courtiers in the Jinluan Palace. Judging from the time, it will be half a stick of incense before he goes down to court."
"Um."
Chen Yi touched his chin and planned to wait for Dong Yunyue to go to court before seeing her again: "Speaking of which, why do you two call me Emperor? It sounds weird, I don't even have any heirs."
"It's His Majesty's order. Your Majesty said that once you are a teacher, you will always be a father."
"Dong Yunyue."
Chen Yi recalled the Tianlao incident and couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, I won't embarrass you, but when there are no outsiders in private, just call me Young Master."
"Isn't this...not good?"
"Do I look very old?"
The two women looked at the young man in front of them carefully: he was tall and tall, calm and restrained, with extraordinary charm, especially those long and narrow red phoenix eyes, which were simply more beautiful than women.
Um…
I really can't think of what the old name has to do with him. He is as handsome as flowing spring water.
"Well…"
The woman lowered her head and couldn't see her toes, her heart was pounding wildly, and she was already extremely shy:
"My slave obeys the order."
"good."
Chen Yi was rewarded with a pat on the head:
"Do you have a name?"
"Slave Qingyu, she calls Red Musk."
"The name is good, I've written it down."
Chen Yi led the two women's jade hands back to the palace, flicking his fingertips, and a tea table appeared out of thin air on the table: "I have been in seclusion for the past few years, have any major events happened in the government and the public?"
"How dare you slaves to discuss state affairs arbitrarily..."
"Are you afraid?"
Green smoke curled up, and Chen Yi made tea with a faint smile, as gentle as jade: "I allow you to discuss. If anyone who is not discerning dares to blame me, tell him to come to the Yangtze to discuss Tao with me."
His tone was calm, but he exuded a domineering attitude, not an ignorant arrogance, but a high-spirited self-confidence: Who wouldn't be obsessed with such a young man?
"Since the young master has said this, I will just say something casually, and you can listen to it for fun." Qingyu burned incense and washed the tea with skillful hands, and Red Musk opened her lips and spoke softly.
"three years ago."
"On the 30th anniversary of the founding of Shenyu, an old monster who killed mortals took advantage of the National Day ceremony to enter the palace and assassinate His Majesty on the pretext of presenting rare treasures. His Majesty joined forces with the Left Prime Minister to suppress him."
"After the celebration."
"This person was sent to the Shadow Guards to search for his soul. A rebel organization called the Sun Moon Sect emerged. It is said that the members of this organization are all remnants of the Five Sects and Seven Hopes of the old era."
"They hide among the people and covet my god Yu Jiangshan all the time."
“…”
The Shenyu Kingdom was first called the New Era, and was previously called the Old Era. The five sects refer to the five major sects headed by the Beast Control Sect, while the Qiwang refers to the seven major sects headed by the Ning family.
The three of them chatted until late at night.
Chen Yi had a general understanding of the situation outside the imperial city: It is true that the Shenyu Dynasty was powerful all over the world, but it was too early to say whether the whole world was the kingdom's territory.
There is a Qingfeng Temple in Shiwandashan in the southeast.
When the wind blows, the moon rises above the willow branches. The master of Qingfeng Temple is a veteran Zhan Fan who has been famous for a long time. His methods are unpredictable, even Dong Yunyue is a bit tricky to face.
There is a Wu Lao Temple on the Buddha Burial Plateau in the northwest.
The eminent monk in the temple practiced Mahayana Buddhism, and his Buddhist charm was boundless. He once said that he could transcend the mortal world in half a step, and his realm was unfathomable, making countless living beings fearful and helpless.
There is a deserted city in the far frontier.
Thirty-three years ago, in order to demonstrate the benevolence of the emperor, Dong Yunyue spared some of the rebellious and rebellious gangsters from torture, exiled them to distant lands, and left them to fend for themselves.
then.
A lawless land independent of the world came into being: Although Huangcheng is located in a barren and barren wilderness, it is crouching tigers and hidden dragons, and almost everyone kills decisively, violently and brutally.
Because demons and demon cultivators have a common characteristic, that is, they are very violent. Putting these guys together is equivalent to throwing hundreds or even thousands of worms into a worm jar.
Survival of the fittest. Those who can survive in such a cruel environment are all Gu kings who have experienced endless baptism of blood. One against ten is no problem.
In addition to the above, overseas forces should not be underestimated.
There is a sea against the dust, and there are eight islands. On the island, a venerable man is born. He calls himself the eight gods of the inner sea. Four of them are perfect in the Yuan Ying. Three of them are in the early stage of slaying mortals, and one is in the middle stage of slaying mortals. They are invincible.
Chen Yi couldn't help but think of the Great Qin Empire in his previous life.
The Qin Dynasty swept away Liuhe, abolished the feudal system, realized the same writing and track, and created the first unified dynasty in history. Dong Yunyue is doing similar things.
Within the Great Qin Empire, there were remnants of the six kingdoms conspiring to cause rebellion, and outside there were foreign barbarians such as the Xiongnu and Baiyue who were eyeing them. The current situation of the Shenyu Dynasty was very similar to this.
