Yanjing City.
royal palace.
late at night.
Inside the palace, smoke was still lingering.
Emperor Tianlu was obsessed with Taoism and often stayed up day and night, so even late at night, he still didn't fall asleep.
At this time, there was a rapid knock on the door outside the hall.
"I want to see Long Live!" The little eunuch in purple said hurriedly: "The news from the Jin Yiwei from the southeast is that something bad is going to happen, something is going to be bad."
"Banzai is meditating. This practice will last for seventy-seven forty-nine hours. It's only half way through now. No one can disturb Banzai's purity." The heavy palace door did not open, and a hoarse voice came from inside. The voice of the old eunuch.
"My servant knows that Wanzai is meditating. Offending Long Yan is a serious crime that will cause his head to fall off. But if the news today is not delivered to Wanzai as soon as possible, then all the people serving here may die!" The eunuch in purple said hastily: "Now originally, It should be Eunuch Yuan who came to report this matter, but Eunuch Yuan is in Luo City, so the report was left to me."
"What's the matter, please tell me?" the old eunuch asked in a low voice.
"Don't break the rules. Only Long Live can be the first to know the news." The eunuch in purple said through the door.
"Okay, then I'll go and inform His Majesty, but I can't guarantee that Your Majesty will definitely see you." The old eunuch said this, and then the sound of leaving footsteps was heard.
The eunuch in purple stood waiting outside the palace gate with his hands folded. It seemed like he had been waiting for a century. Finally, the palace door opened a gap.
The voice of the old eunuch came in: "Come in, the saint promises to see you, but it depends on whether your news is enough for you to come in."
The eunuch in purple thanked him, and then walked quickly into it. His boots made no sound on the gold bricks, as silent as a cat. Under the heavy curtains, the eunuch in purple stopped and looked at the figure behind the curtains. Kneel down.
"Thank you, slave. I have met Emperor Wanshou."
"The name is a good one." Emperor Tianlu's voice sounded from behind the curtain, a little old, but yet ethereal: "Who asked you to come?"
"I'm reporting to Emperor Wanshou, it's Eunuch Zhou." Xie En said.
"Zhou Ku." Emperor Tianlu smiled: "He is interested in cultivating you."
"Tell me, it's so late, what do you have to say to me?"
"I've said it first, if it's about the north, then you can leave now."
To the north is the Oara Desert.
"Reporting to Emperor Wanshou is a matter from the east." Xie En said.
"Does that mean something happened to Ying Tian Mansion?" Emperor Tianlu looked at Xie En and said.
Xie En immediately knocked his head to the ground: "Long live the Holy Ming, something happened to Ying Tian Mansion."
"Wang Zhi conspired to rebel and attacked Yingtian Mansion overnight. Now the situation is unknown and Yingtian Mansion is in emergency."
Emperor Tianlu raised his head and looked at the other party: "Zhang Zui."
Shane was stunned for a moment, and then slapped himself in the mouth without hesitation: "Long live, this is such a late night, I don't want to cause misfortune to my master."
He said while fanning, and as long as Emperor Tianlu didn't shout to stop, his hand would not stop.
It wasn't until his cheeks were swollen and the corners of his mouth were bleeding that Emperor Tianlu said, "Stop."
"Give you a chance to say it again."
Xie En kowtowed again.
"Yingtian Mansion has been breached. This is urgent news from eight hundred miles away. It was sent from Yingtian Mansion overnight. Governor Hu is said to have surrendered." Xie En said.
This was originally the art of reporting. First, say that the enemy is attacking Yingtian Mansion, giving His Majesty time to mentally prepare, and then tell the follow-up news tomorrow.
But Xie En never expected that the news he sent was not first-hand news, and Emperor Tianlu in front of him was already aware of it.
"Hu Beizong will not surrender. He is a smart man. Wang Zhi cannot offer him a price to surrender." Emperor Tianlu said with a smile: "Also, when did this happen?"
"Three days ago," Shane said.
"It takes three days to get news about Yingtian Mansion. It seems that Jin Yiwei is not a complete loser. Maybe the cabinet will be in chaos tomorrow." Emperor Tianlu was still smiling. It seemed that Wang Zhi had rebelled, Yingtian Mansion was defeated, and Hu Beizong was captured alive. Such news is not worthy of his concern at all.
"You are considerate, but as a slave, the most important thing is loyalty, and the most important thing is not to hide anything for personal gain or seek personal gain." Emperor Tianlu looked at Xie En: "Since Zhou Ku is willing to call you over to me Spreading this news shows that he still wants to cultivate you."
"In this case, I will give you a chance."
"Thank you, Lord, for your kindness. Thank you, Lord for your kindness." Xie En lowered his head and said repeatedly.
"Don't thank me yet. Listen to what I say first." Emperor Tianlu looked at Xie En and smiled.
"Thunder, rain, and dew are all God's grace. Even if His Majesty asks this slave to die at this time, I will not hesitate to thank you and do it." Xie En said without hesitation.
Emperor Tianlu sighed: "Why are you so incapable of speaking? If I really tell you to die, you will die. Wouldn't I have to find someone else to help me with things?"
"Now that Jin Yiwei is not doing well, Yuan Chong is also in Luo City and has not returned yet. I don't have anyone capable at hand for the time being. I will give you an errand to go to Yingtian Mansion."
"When you come back, bring me Wang Zhi's head."
Shane was stunned.
This is harder than dying.
"Yes, thank you Lord for your kindness." Xie En was only surprised for a moment, and then kowtowed.
"How many men and horses do you bring?" Shane asked.
Although many times this question should not be asked.
But Xie En, he doesn’t want to go to the southeast and die.
"You are alone." Emperor Tianlu said.
"You take the water route and come back as soon as you go. If you can pick up Hu Beizong at that time and Hu Beizong is still alive, you can bring Hu Beizong back to see me."
"Did you hear that?"
Xie En heard it, but he always felt that Emperor Tianlu was talking in his sleep.
After all, Emperor Tianlu cultivates immortality every day, maybe he will become stupid because of it, right?
But the emperor's orders are from heaven, so I can only kowtow and thank you: "I heard that, I will set off overnight to complete the errands for Long live as soon as possible, and continue to come back to serve you."
After saying this, Xie En was still kneeling on the spot.
Waiting for further instructions from Emperor Tianlu.
Emperor Tianlu looked at him, and the two of them were stunned for a while.
Emperor Tianlu couldn't help laughing at the end: "You've thanked me, why don't you leave quickly?"
Only then did Xie En react. He kowtowed and stood up, then turned around and walked quickly towards the door without stopping for a step.
Emperor Tianlu looked at Xie En's back, with a faint smile on his lips.
"Wang Zhi, Wang Zhi."
"It's really courageous."
"Not everyone can sit in my seat."
Saying this, Emperor Tianlu picked up the golden hammer beside him and struck the chime hard.
Its sound is melodious.
"close the door!"
The palace door slowly closed.
The smoke continued to billow.
