Tai'an City.
In the imperial city, a young eunuch trotted along in a hurry.
Approaching the main hall where a morning meeting is taking place.
The eunuch turned around and headed towards the back door of the main hall.
Today's morning morning had a good atmosphere.
Maybe it's because the person in the dragon robe on the Nine Dragon King's chair is in a good mood today.
The old emperor Zhao Chun has been smiling happily these days.
Many ministers didn't know what they meant.
There were only a few important ministers with extremely high official positions, such as Zhang Julu, the blue-eyed chief assistant, or Han Shengxuan, the current emperor's teacher Yang Taisui, and the head of the eunuchs.
Everyone knows this, just recently.
Beiliang's vitality will suffer a sharp decline, all due to the death of the sword fairy woman who fought her way out of Tai'an City.
This made the old emperor Zhao Chun, who had always regarded Beiliang as a thorn in his side, smile every day.
Today's morning morning went extremely smoothly.
And after some local officials reported some innocuous things.
The morning session was about to end.
But at this time.
The anxious eunuch finally handed over the information to Han Diaosi, who was behind the eunuch.
Han Diao Temple did not dare to neglect and presented the information in hand to Emperor Zhao Chun for review.
But that’s it.
The atmosphere in the court hall, which was originally bright and clear, suddenly took a turn for the worse.
Zhao Chun's face became more and more ugly.
Until the end, he threw the secret letter directly under the throne without caring about his image.
The scroll rolled down the steps step by step to Zhang Julu's feet.
Zhang Julu, the leader and assistant, did not have the slightest scruple. He picked up the secret letter and looked at it. He also looked slightly sick, but still heaved a sigh of relief.
The atmosphere above the court became even heavier.
"Now Beiliang has given birth to a character who can bring people back to life."
"This has greatly enhanced Beiliang's strength and weakened Liyang's control over Beiliang."
"And this person was rumored to be engaged to Princess Dayuan five years ago, and he is very likely to be Xu Xiao's adopted son."
Emperor Zhao Chun only used three sentences to make everyone in the court immediately understand the reason for the change in the atmosphere in the court today.
Those Liyang civil servants who had always been at odds with Beiliang all spoke angrily.
Wanting to cut through the mess quickly, let Beiliang hand over such an unstable factor to Liyang.
What's more, some people believe that Beiliang is now on the verge of rebellion.
In order to issue an imperial edict, King Xuanbei Liang brought his adopted son to see him to see if Xu Xiao was still loyal.
If you do not accept the imperial edict, you have rebelled.
Li Yang should go directly to Beiliang to seize the vassal and establish his power.
For a time, there was a lot of noise in the court hall.
There were all voices denouncing Beiliang, but there was not a single voice supporting Beiliang.
Emperor Zhao Chun had a gloomy face, with a dangerous light emerging in his eyes.
He glanced at Han Shengxuan who was standing aside. Han Shengxuan immediately understood. In the wide sleeves of his robe, the red thread that could refer to the Xuansha celestial phenomenon could not wait to be seen.
…
Beiliang.
Listen to the Chao Pavilion.
It's the fifth day since I returned to the palace.
Wu Changqing absorbed Wu Su's sword intention and insights when he first became the Sword Immortal.
After two days of retreat.
His delicate little sword in the sea of consciousness became more and more sharp, and bursts of colorful light continued to appear on the sword body.
Wu Changqing's understanding of kendo has become deeper and deeper.
In these two days.
After the celebration, the Northern Liang Palace became calm again.
Five of the six sons have left.
Only Chen Zhibao wanted to see Wu Changqing before leaving, so he waited in the palace.
This day.
A man wearing simple gray clothes came into Xu Xiao's mansion.
Compared with five years ago, the man has not changed much, and he still has a face that is indifferent to the vicissitudes of life.
The only thing that has changed is.
He no longer bears grudge against Beiliang and Chen Zhibao.
Instead, he chose to be loyal to Xu Xiao and became Xu Xiao's personal bodyguard.
"Your Majesty."
A man who changed his name from Liu Yanbing to Xu Yanbing.
There is no need to kneel down and pay homage to Xu Xiaodao.
"Weir Soldier, do you have something to say?"
Xu Xiao's face has become more and more rosy in the past two days, and he is obviously in a good mood.
"But the young prince is back."
Xu Yanbing was arranged by Xu Xiao to teach dead soldiers martial arts in the palace these days.
I don't know about Wu Changqing's return.
But at the moment when Wu Su was completely cured that day, a sharp sword sound bloomed in Xu Xiao's mansion.
But he felt the familiar aura.
five years ago.
He and Chen Zhibao fought to the death outside Beiliang City.
Originally, he had full confidence in killing Chen Zhibao on the spot.
But during the battle, there were many accidents, and in the end it was due to Chen Zhibao's temporary enlightenment of a spear move that was comparable to the celestial realm.
Let him be utterly defeated.
Afterwards, Chen Zhibao did not kill him.
He also learned the main reason why Chen Zhibao could continuously improve in battle.
It's all because of the young prince of Beiliang Palace.
That was the young man from a noble family who invited him to breakfast that morning.
these past five years.
He had always wanted to have a discussion with that young man and be able to turn the tide of a certain death situation for Chen Zhibao with one shot of a spear.
Then this young man should have such a terrifying talent.
"Do you want to fight Qing'er?"
Xu Xiao saw Xu Yanbing's thoughts and couldn't help but smile.
Xu Yanbing was noncommittal.
"Exactly, how much Qing'er has grown in Wudang in the past five years."
"Let me see it with Zhibao, Yishan and others."
Xu Xiao stood up with a smile.
The implication was that he agreed to Xu Yanbing's request to fight Wu Changqing.
"And I."
A soft voice came from the inner room.
Then Wu Su, who was dressed in white and no longer so pale, slowly walked out of the house while holding on to the wall.
Xu Xiao looked happy and immediately stepped forward to support the other party.
"Since Qing'er came to our house, I have never seen Qing'er fight with anyone."
"Now that Qing'er has absorbed the Qi of my Half-step Sword Immortal, I think he is no weaker than a Zhixuan Realm swordsman."
"Let me see with my own eyes Qing'er's current strength."
Wu Su smiled gently.
After walking through the gate of hell once, she didn't feel much, she just felt it.
It was really a blessing for her Xu family that she could meet Changqing in the wilderness and forest.
The group of people smiled and walked slowly towards Tingchao Pavilion.
Just in this moment.
Listen to Wu Changqing in the Tingchao Pavilion.
The body that was originally meditating suddenly burst into bursts of mysterious light.
In his sea of consciousness, the delicate sword embryo that was originally the size of a palm was completely transformed.
It turned into a three-foot-long breeze, hanging upside down in the sea of consciousness, with the tip of the sword pointed directly at the heavenly spirit.
And in Wu Changqing's body.
The already very powerful Green Emperor Immortal Tree was already above the lush canopy of pure white and green fruits.
Suddenly a strong wind blew, and the huge and shiny fruits were blown off the branches and leaves.
The fruit falls to the ground.
Blooming sword energy soaring to the sky!
A small flying sword with a cold light was directed towards the bullfighting.
At the same time, the mysterious light rising around Wu Changqing instantly condensed into a gleaming long sword.
Going upstream, passing through the obstacles of Tingchao Pavilion, and crashing into the sea of clouds.
