Without being summoned, Bailian stepped forward unhurriedly, walking along.
"The empress has eyes that reach the sky. She can watch the fire from across the bank and know the fate of the world. Your majesty's secret treasure has been stolen. I must have known about it for a long time, but she allowed the poisonous and fake secret treasure to be stored in the mountain city. The empress acted according to her own destiny, Si Chen I don’t dare to speculate on my own, but I just summoned you forcefully today..."
He walked to the front of the screen, and the fan-waving maid didn't say anything to stop him. She just looked at him with interest, as if she was curious about what he would do next or what he would say.
Balian raised his palm and gently pushed the screen open. His dark eyes moved slightly, calmly looking at the beautiful woman under the candlelight.
The woman's face is very young and beautiful. She is wearing a royal robe and her hair is tied up with a bamboo hairpin.
The dark clouds in the sky gradually receded, and the sky was light and glazed. The sunlight filtered through the screen window, and the dim light poured into her cheeks, reflecting her elegant posture.
His sparse pupils turned slightly with sadness as he stared at Balian. His voice was no longer old and hoarse, but had the clear and agile voice of a girl: "You are so brave."
Bailian said: "The person who wants to see me today is not my queen."
The woman gently closed her sleeves with her bare hands and said calmly: "If the person sitting on the throne at this moment is the empress, would you still dare to be so rude?"
Balian thought for a moment and said, "No."
It’s not that I don’t dare, it’s that I won’t.
If he is really the empress, this proves that no one is playing tricks on him and he will listen carefully to what the empress has to say.
The woman's face was slightly cold, and she couldn't understand the meaning of his words. She asked, "How did you figure it out?"
Bailian said: "Fang Geyu once mentioned the empress to me. I think the empress must be a person with a big heart. Since she invited me to meet in the inner city, why should she bully me with her power as soon as we meet? Besides, the girl just said, The emperor's secret treasure has been stolen. The emperor is the honorific title given to that gentleman by everyone in the world. If she is the wife of the emperor, she will not be called husband or emperor, but like us, she will be called 'jun'. Emperor. This is enough to prove that you are not the empress herself."
The woman had a strange expression on her face. She looked into the young man's eyes like a deep pool of water. She shook her head and stood up, looking at the young man in front of her at eye level: "It is said that the human heart is like hair. You young man has indeed given birth to an exquisite heart." .”
I originally wanted to use the name of my empress to suppress this wild boy who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth.
There are three thousand people in this world, but not one of them dares to put away their sharp edge in front of the empress, and in the end they all become hesitant.
Even Fang Geyu, who has the blood of the Golden Immortal, became one of the most noble people in the world and was envied by everyone because he was looked at carefully by the empress.
No one can remain calm in front of the empress without losing their composure.
If this young man loses his temper and becomes disordered, it will not be difficult for her to know what she wants to know.
"So, girl, who are you and why did you summon me?" Balian lowered his eyebrows and made a formal salute to the woman, asking softly and politely.
Calmly and perfectly, no one can find any flaws.
Seeing his appearance, the woman felt a slight headache.
Who would have thought that in just a few words, this young man would walk straight up to him without any scruples, push open the screen, and go straight in to reveal his identity.
It seems harder to deal with than expected.
"My name is Qingxuan, the empress's female official."
Female official Si Xi.
Bai Lian suddenly understood.
No wonder she was able to invite him into the city in her name.
The person holding the seal holds the Qiongxi Talisman Festival.
"Don't look at me like that." The woman named Qingxuan bent down and picked up a silver needle from the table, and extinguished the candle in the lamp. The light in the hall became a little darker.
When the slender waist that was bent stood up straight, the figure returned to a straight posture, as straight as a bamboo, with an indescribable nobility.
Her eyes fell lightly on Bailian's face, without any emotion in her eyes: "As a female official of the Kunlun Temple, I should respect the empress. The fairy city is orderly but has no owner, so I became the leader of this city. Your Majesty has entrusted me with the seal of the Emperor's Constitution, and I have the obligation to help your Majesty solve your problems and not to be intruded by trivial matters."
There is no such thing as overstepping one's authority privately.
Bai Lian pondered for a moment and said: "It turns out that the real organizer of the Xianling City exam is not the empress, but Miss Qingxuan."
Qingxuan frowned and said: "I can't ask my queen to take care of the common etiquette in the world."
Choosing the master of Xianling City is a major event in the world. Even Jinsheng, who is the Thirteen Swordsman of Tianxi, is moved by it. But in the eyes of this woman, it is just a matter of common etiquette in the world.
It's like this fairy city that makes the world crazy about it is actually not that important.
Balian also realized something and chuckled: "So, the Emperor and the Queen are not in this city in the mortal world."
Qingxuan pursed his thin lips and did not answer his question directly. He just said: "I called you here today just to clarify one thing."
"What does the girl want to know?"
"Who are you?"
The swaying fan makes no sound, and the window screen is transparent. You can see the dust and light particles floating in the air, slowly floating in the woman's extremely pale eyes, her eyes are interrogating.
If possible, he would also like to know the answer to this question.
Balian answered himself this way in his heart.
He said seriously: "The Lord of Kongcang Mountain, Si Chen."
"Kongcang Mountain? That mountain controlled by the ancient mountain god?"
"It's this mountain."
"When will Kongcang Mountain change ownership?"
"Just three months ago."
"Why did it change owners?"
"The demon sect invaded, the mountain god died, and there was great disaster and chaos. Si Chen took his place."
"Kongcang Mountain is the place where immortals and gods are transformed. The wealth and spiritual power of the mountain are not weaker than those of Xianling City. Since you are already the master of Kongcang, why do you come to Xianling City again?"
Bailian, who had always answered everything without answering, suddenly stopped talking and just looked at the beautiful woman in front of him quietly.
Qingxuan suddenly smiled, and his eyes seemed to see through him: "Are you here for the child in Shifang City?"
Bailian said: "It wasn't at first, but it is now."
Qingxuan frowned again: "What do you mean by this?"
Balian took out a piece of Yin Si paper from his arms and put it on the table: "I thought she lacked everything, but I was lacking something, so I followed her to Xianling City to look for it. Now it seems that it seems The person who lacks nothing lacks everything, and I want to help her fight for it.”
Looking at the piece of underworld paper on the case, Qingxuan's expression didn't change much, as if he already knew some of the little moves of some people in the border town.
She didn't take it seriously: "I'm not interested in the conspiracy and struggle between you humans."
Balian nodded: "That's true, but why is the girl so interested in me?"
"Besides the border town of Xianling City, there is an ancient monument. The ancient monument is a foundation stone on the top of Kunlun and in the pure water of Tianchi. It has been standing in the world for five hundred years. The empress made a promise to her friends that she will be there for her in this world. We found the person who could unravel the monument, so we set up a ceremony in which the monks who entered the city were required to smear the blood on the inscription."
