Facts have proved that the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal Yao Yan is an honest man.
Zhao Xun got close to him, and Yao Yan told him all about his past like beans poured out of a bamboo tube.
Zhao Xun was very emotional when he heard this.
Unexpectedly, such a peerless strong man could still be so emotionally drained.
Second Senior Sister, it’s true that such a handsome and handsome young man, with a good figure, good looks, and good cultivation, is just hanging around like this, wasting all his natural resources.
"Senior Yao, I dare to ask, did the mountain chief give you any instructions before you left the academy?"
Of course, it was a sigh of relief, but Zhao Xun still had to do business.
"Instructions? What are the instructions?"
Yao Yan looked confused.
"Well, for example, did the Mountain Chief explain the current situation in Jiangnan Road? The last time the Mountain Chief's clone came to Ningzhou to help our academy disciples get rid of danger, he said that something big was going to happen. Wouldn't this be a good time to watch the trend? Are the sun monsters raging?"
"No, the mountain chief didn't tell me about this. I only remember that he said it was time for Xiao Qiji to come back..."
Well...
Hearing this, Zhao Xun realized that the words from Chief You were enough.
It seems that there will be no more changes in Jiangnan Road in a short time.
The monster's vitality was severely damaged by this blow, and it would be impossible for it to make a comeback within a year and a half.
As for Dongyue Jiange, they have failed several times in succession.
Sword Master Wei Wuji, an old and immortal guy, can't possibly enter the scene in person. This would be too shameless.
If you think about it carefully, there really aren't many changes in Jiangnan Road.
It's time to return to Chang'an.
Not to mention, Zhao Xun really felt homesick after being away for so long.
...
...
When he learned that the imperial envoy was about to return to Chang'an, Governor Wan organized officials from Ningzhou City to see him off.
As for the people of Ningzhou City, they spontaneously gathered together to see off the imperial envoy.
They thanked the Imperial Envoy from the bottom of their hearts for his efforts.
It can be said that without the Imperial Envoy, most of them would have become food in the belly of monsters.
They were able to survive thanks to the imperial envoy who risked his life.
Zhao Xun was extremely happy when he saw so many people seeing him off.
In addition to being happy, I was even more moved.
Who says the common people don’t know who is good to them?
In fact, the people's hearts are like a mirror.
After many years, such a mark should be left in the history books, right?
That's all. What happened after his death will be judged by future generations.
...
...
Compared with the twists and turns when we arrived, the return trip was smooth sailing.
Within a month, the imperial mission returned to Chang'an City.
According to the rules, the first thing Zhao Xun had to do was to enter the palace to meet the emperor and return his orders to the emperor.
Although Zhao Xun didn't like Emperor Xianlong in his heart, he still had to abide by the rules.
People have to bow their heads under the eaves. It will be time to settle the accounts when Zhao Xun becomes stronger and has full wings.
Compared with winter, Daming Palace in early spring is much more vibrant.
After Zhao Xun entered the palace, he walked quickly. When he arrived at the Zichen Palace, he was stopped by his acquaintance Eunuch Cui.
"Oh, Mr. Zhao is finally back. His Majesty has been thinking about you these days."
"Eunuch Cui is so polite, I need to trouble you to report this."
"That's not possible now. Your Majesty is taking a nap right now. Even if we have the courage to do so, we wouldn't dare to disturb His Majesty's dream."
Eunuch Cui said helplessly.
"I see."
"Otherwise, Mr. Zhao should go to the side hall to rest first?"
Eunuch Cui suggested.
"No need, I will wait here. When Your Majesty wakes up, please let Eunuch Cui know."
It's not that Zhao Xun doesn't want to go to the side hall, but he knows he can't go.
Just like Emperor Xianlong, this dog emperor's mind is smaller than the nose of a needle.
If he catches him for a moment and magnifies it infinitely, Zhao Xun will suffer a lot.
It is better to do the best from the beginning so that Emperor Xianlong cannot make any mistakes.
"Please, Mr. Zhao."
When Eunuch Cui saw that Zhao Xun insisted on doing this, he stopped trying to persuade him and turned around and left.
Zhao Xun stood quietly on the platform and waited. In early spring, it turns warm and cold, but it's still a bit cold.
However, Zhao Xun is a cultivator after all, so he was not greatly affected.
About half an hour later, Eunuch Cui left and came back, smiling at Zhao Xun and saying, "Your Majesty has woken up from sleep and is here to greet Lord Zhao."
Zhao Xun nodded slightly and said, "Thank you."
Under the guidance of Eunuch Cui, Zhao Xun entered the Zichen Palace and walked all the way to Nuange. He saw the Emperor of Zhou sitting on the Arhat bed meditating.
Emperor Xianlong looked like a cultivator, so Zhao Xun didn't have much to say and bowed respectfully with crossed hands.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Xun, pays homage to you."
Emperor Xianlong then slowly opened his eyes and said with a half-smile, "You're back. It's good to be back. My eyelids have been twitching these days, for fear that you might encounter some accident."
Zhao Xun's heart skipped a beat, thinking that the dog emperor's words were really meaningful.
What does it mean to be afraid of encountering an accident? Is it fear or hope?
The emperor's mind is really unpredictable sometimes.
"I heard that you performed well in the two battles in Ningzhou, and finally turned the tide and foiled the monster's conspiracy. Right?"
Emperor Xianlong had naturally received the report from the inner guards long ago and knew everything about what happened in Ningzhou.
"Reporting to your majesty, this is indeed the case."
Zhao Xun didn't hide anything and said it clearly.
"very good."
Emperor Xianlong clasped his fingers gently, and then exhaled: "You did a good job on this mission, and I want to reward you. Tell me, what do you want?"
Zhao Xun naturally knew that he should not be too high-profile at this time, so he said in a deep voice: "This is all your Majesty's credit. I dare not take credit."
"What are you talking about? If outsiders hear it, won't they think that I am competing with my ministers for credit and not even willing to give any rewards?"
Emperor Xianlong said with a straight face: "You must get this reward today. This is the imperial decree."
Zhao Xun had a smile on his face and mmm in his heart.
This dog emperor really doesn’t want to be a son of man. Look what they've done to the children.
"That being the case, I have an unkind request."
Zhao Xun thought again and again: "I hope your Majesty can order Luzhou officers and soldiers to be stationed in Ningzhou for a long time. Although the monster has retreated this time, it is likely to come back. By then, I am worried that the people of Ningzhou will be brutally attacked by the monster." retaliation. With the Luzhou army stationed, the situation will be better. At least it can buy the court enough time to react."
"Is this the reward you asked for?"
Emperor Xianlong was stroking his beard, and his face was inscrutable, making it impossible to figure out what he was thinking.
"Your Majesty, this is the reward I requested."
"Okay, I'm sure, and I'll reward you with a hundred taels of gold and a thousand taels of silver. I won't treat you badly for the heroes of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Emperor Xianlong waved his hand and said, "If you have nothing else to do, just step back."
