As the eunuch's sharp voice echoed in the streets outside the city, the previously almost frozen atmosphere relaxed.
But although the three "grandmasters" never showed up, their majestic aura still existed.
After four or five seconds of stalemate like this, when the mana realm manager came to Zhao Chen's carriage, his solemn voice sounded again:
"Is the Empress going to stand up for this son and embarrass me, the White Jade Sect?"
For Bai Shixiong, the leader of the "White Jade Sect", his biological son was killed by Zhao Chen. If he cannot take revenge, then where is his majesty? Where is the majesty of the White Jade Sect?
When the time comes, not only outsiders will lose their awe, but even those within the sect will become disorganized and lose their cohesion.
But the punishment of "disqualification from the martial arts tournament" in the empress's decree really made him have to be cautious. After all, the martial arts tournament was related to the opportunity of being a "grand master", which was something that every grandmaster in the world coveted.
Moreover, if he really dares to resist the decree today, then the masters of several other forces will probably laugh out of their dreams and will definitely seize the opportunity to join forces to deprive him of the qualification for the conference.
What's more, although the Great Liang royal family has lost its grand master, it is still strong because of the corpse.
That's why he deliberately pointed out that the empress personally wanted to protect Zhao Chen... After all, the empress had only just ascended the throne and lacked prestige to convince the public.
When the chief chamberlain heard this, he shook his head and said in a sharp voice: "Marquis Si Bei, this is an imperial edict, not an oral decree from His Majesty."
The heads of each major sect naturally have hereditary titles conferred by the imperial court. The Baiyu Sect is located in the northeast, so Bai Shixiong was named Sibeihou.
The implication of the words of the Chief Supervisor is that His Majesty's decree to summon Zhao Chen to Yanfu Hall was approved by the Empress Dowager.
The Queen Mother is the only "grandmaster" in the royal family at present!
After hearing this, Bai Shixiong had no choice but to give up no matter how unwilling he was. He only left a cruel message before leaving:
"Keep your head with you, and I will come back to pick it up one day!"
After saying this, his aura suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared before.
Seeing that he had indeed stopped, "Bibo Fairy" Yishan and "Qingtian Sword" Yi Lingxiao also dispersed their pressure and disappeared without a trace.
The originally stormy sky suddenly became clear and there was no longer any depression.
As for Zhao Chen, after weighing it up, he decided to let Bai Shixiong go for the time being. After all, the empress' threat was actually effective against him. If he was not allowed to participate in the martial arts conference and the mission failed, it would be a loss. died?
At this time, the chief internal officer also breathed a sigh of relief. The pressure brought by the power of the grandmaster was still considerable.
After he composed himself, he spoke again: "Mr. Zhao, come and receive the order quickly... By the way, Your Majesty has given you permission not to kneel down."
Speaking of this, the well-informed eunuch felt that His Majesty was too kind to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen, who was in the car, was stunned when he heard the words. After thinking for a while, he got out of the car, took the imperial edict from the other party's hand with both hands, and said perfunctorily: "Chen, accept the edict and thank you."
It was only then that most of the spectators saw Zhao Chen's true appearance for the first time. They had no idea that the notorious "Red-Blooded Shura" would turn out to be such a handsome young man.
Originally, they thought that a person with such a vicious reputation must be a burly man with a sinewy face and arms that could run a horse.
The chief steward who saw Zhao Chen's appearance also looked thoughtful, and then added: "By the way, His Majesty allows you to settle in the city first, then take a bath and change clothes, and then enter the palace to meet the Holy Spirit after two hours."
The empress is quite considerate of others... It will be dark in two hours, right?
Do you want to see me at night? I always feel like something is not quite right.
He complained in his heart, but Zhao Chen, who had two "supernatural" monks to summon, was not too worried. After all, he had the ability to directly flip the table.
After the decree was announced, the chief internal officer did not stay long and rode directly back to the city to resume his duties.
At this time, the fat man stepped forward happily and said meaningfully: "So you are the empress's man...
"No wonder you want Mr. Lu to build momentum all the way. It seems that the imperial court is really going to make some big moves against the three authentic sects.
"You have always used the name of Mingjiao to confuse the public and drag me into the water, so that I, Mingjiao, will not reap the benefits, right?"
You are overthinking. What I did was just sending a signal to Feimeng. Zhao Chen glanced at him and smiled enigmatically.
As for Lu Linqi, he was extremely excited at the moment.
In his opinion, since Brother Zhao is a member of the empress, it is really possible that his appeal will be adopted by the court and then promoted throughout the world.
Next, the convoy, led by Ling Ling and Ling Lu, entered a large mansion in the west of the capital. It was not far from the residences of "Bibo Fairy" and "Qingtian Sword", and the safety was still very guaranteed.
Zhao Chen, who was assigned a small independent courtyard, did not go to bathe or change clothes first. Instead, he took out a plate of "Shredded Green Dragon Pork" that Sister Hongxia had made before from his storage bag, wanting to take advantage of this rare peace. Time, with the help of the vitality in the dragon meat, broke through the last hurdle of the nose orifice in one fell swoop.
After all, if there is no breakthrough, the performance feedback of "Escort Master" will always be stuck here, which is not conducive to further practice.
After spending star coins to pull out the "Sunshine Divine Sword" Ma Guangming to protect him, Zhao Chen directly swept the small plate of dishes into his mouth with his hands.
The green dragon meat melted in the mouth, and a line of coldness spread from the throat to the stomach, starting to help Zhao Chen's nose.
The nine acupoints related to the nose orifice were condensed a day ago. Their distribution position is peculiar. After being connected into one, they correspond to the sky and the earth on the outside and the lungs on the inside. However, they are blocked by the closed "door" of the nose orifice.
As a large amount of dragon vitality poured in, an invisible sound erupted, and the "door" formed by the nose orifice opened after a few breaths under the continuous impact of the medicine.
Everything seems to be business as usual, but it is no longer the same.
Zhao Chen found that every time he breathed, most of the miscellaneous air between heaven and earth was isolated by the nose, and the pure vitality of heaven and earth poured in, soaking the lungs and meridians, transforming the body, and improving the true energy.
Compared with before, the quality and quantity of my true energy have been greatly improved, and my ability to adapt to the external environment has been greatly enhanced. Even in places where the vitality of the world is barren, the breathing and breathing of vitality will not be as normal as before. It's difficult.
"Six orifices!" Zhao Chen clenched his fist, then he looked at the time and found that more than an hour had passed. Then he hurriedly took a shower and changed into the palace clothes sent by the steward.
When everything was ready, the carriage that took him into the palace had stopped outside the mansion.
Zhao Chen looked at the sky that had completely darkened, and while getting on the carriage, he guessed the purpose of the Great Liang Empress.
Use me to stir up troubles and benefit the royal family?
You noticed something special about me and want to know more about it?
Or do you simply want to sleep with me? Well, I heard Gao Xing say that Yanfu Hall seems to be the Empress’s chamber...
While Zhao Chen was making random guesses, he had already entered the imperial city and palace city, and was finally taken to a gorgeous palace by a palace maid, where he saw the empress who was said to be just a puppet.
After the other party turned around, Zhao Chen suddenly said in surprise:
"Feimeng?!"
