Still in Fu'an Palace. However, the emperor's clothes were quite formal this time. He was sitting in the top position. On his left side sat the smiling Yongsheng King Yang Xiu Sheng, and behind Yang Xiu Sheng stood a young and unfamiliar face.
After paying homage, the emperor pointed to a small stool next to him and motioned for Shen Hao to sit down and talk.
I thought that the emperor would ask about the situation that was gradually improving, but he didn't mention it at all. He seemed not to care, and he seemed to be sure that Shen Hao was in charge and there was no need to ask.
"Yang Xin, this is Shen Hao, the commander of the Black Flag Battalion." The first thing the emperor said was to push out the young man standing behind Yang Xiusheng. The expression on his face was calm, but his eyes were fixed on Shen Hao during the brief exchange. There was a flash of meaning.
Shen Hao naturally noticed the twinkle in the emperor's eyes, and knew in his heart that this young man who walked up to him with a smile and saluted him must be something serious. .
"Junior Yang Xin has met Mr. Shen."
Although they are not much different in age from Shen Hao, they are at the seventh level of Yang Xin Yuan Dan Realm, while Shen Hao is at the third level of Xuan Hai Realm. There is a huge gap between them, so it is not wrong to call himself a "junior".
He has an upright appearance, a sense of righteousness between his eyebrows, and his eyes are clear and spiritual, unlike the kind of person who has a dark and cunning heart. At least with Shen Hao's many years of experience in understanding people, he didn't think there was anything about Yang Xin that he should be wary of.
"Yang Xin is a core disciple promoted from the clan. He has outstanding talent and outstanding understanding. He is now twenty-nine and at the seventh level of the Yuan Dan Realm. He is also the most outstanding core disciple of the royal family in Fenghong Villa in decades. This time Ask him to come over and get acquainted with you, Shen Hao, and I hope you can take him with you when the underground palace of Wusi City opens."
Yang Xiu Sheng took over the above words and said it without any nonsense or politeness. He directly stated the purpose of today's recommendation.
Of course, although this purpose was stated, it was obviously not explained thoroughly. However, the part that was not mentioned is not difficult to understand. Shen Hao accepted the matter with a smile and understanding.
With so many masters in Fenghong Villa, does Shen Hao need to devote his energy to bringing up a Yuandan realm disciple? Rather than trying to take advantage of Shen Hao's luck and the great opportunity two years ago, let's try to see if following Shen Hao can give Yang Xin an opportunity like Shen Hao. After all, Shen Hao was also at the seventh level of the Yuan Dan realm. , what if we really encounter it?
After introducing Yang Xin to Shen Hao, the emperor basically didn't say much. It was Yang Xiusheng who was talking, mainly about the opening of the underground palace in the City of Wasted Death at the end of the year. He didn't give any room for rejection and directly arranged for Shen Hao. Among the places in the underground palace of Fenghong Villa, he also handed over the Death City Order.
Like Emperor Shu, Yang Xiusheng did not mention anything about the fact that Shen Hao had secretly reached a tacit understanding with Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Sect by using the name of Fenghong Villa and promoted normalized cooperation such as employment agreements. They are obviously avoiding taboos.
But the more this happened, the more Shen Hao felt that today's incident seemed strange. Is it really just introducing a member of the royal family to him? Even if you want to borrow some of his luck and get some luck, you don't need such a big pomp, right?
An emperor, an owner of Fenghong Villa, the pomp and circumstance was a bit outrageous. Then Yang Xin is just a member of the royal family, does he need such praise?
Shen Hao's face was calm and he was sitting on the stool and dealing with it honestly, but he was still thinking in his heart. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that the emperor and Yang Xiu Sheng had deliberately set up such a grand display. They knew it was unnecessary, but they still wanted to "make a fuss out of a molehill" to make the scene grand. It's not like Yang Xin was targeted.
"Is this scene specially set up for me?" Shen Hao thought in his heart.
Eliminate the possibility that Yang Xiusheng and Yang Shu were worried that Shen Hao did not pay attention to Yang Xin, because even if it was just a letter from Yang Xiusheng, Shen Hao would never dare to neglect Yang Xin, and a letter from the emperor would still make Shen Hao pay enough attention. There is no need to suppress Shen Hao in person.
So when Yang Xiusheng and Yang Shu did this, did they feel that the weight of a letter was not enough, and that Shen Hao needed to pay more attention to Yang Xin? Is that what you mean?
"By the way, I heard that you received an invitation personally written by Yang Wanli, the leader of the Mingshan Sect, inviting you to participate in the sword trial meeting on the ninth day of September. Is this relevant?" After changing the topic, Yang Xiu Sheng looked at Shen Hao with a smile.
Without hesitation, Shen Hao nodded quickly and replied: "Returning to King Yongsheng, Xiang Liu from the Mingshan Sect did send a copper post previously, which was handwritten by Yang Wanli, the leader of the Mingshan Sect. The purpose was to send him to the official position on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month. Go up to Mingshan to participate in the sword trial meeting."
"Do you know the purpose of Mingshan Sect inviting you in this way?"
"I made a random guess, I don't know if it's correct or not." Shen Hao remained humble and did not finish his words. In fact, he reported this matter to Fenghong Villa very early, but for some reason he didn't inquire about it until today.
"Tell me about it." Yang Xiu Sheng glanced at the emperor beside him. The latter seemed to be interested as well. He sat up straighter and looked at Shen Hao sitting on the small stool.
Shen Hao: "Xiaoguan thought that the reason why Mingshan Sect sent the invitation to Xiaguan alone was to establish that Xiaguan was participating in the Sword Trial Conference in a private capacity, and not in the name of Xuanqing Guard or Fenghong Villa. In this way, according to the rules of the sword trial meeting, anyone attending the meeting can challenge the official to "test the sword." If the time comes and some harsh verbal provocations are added, the official will not accept the challenge.
And once you can defeat Xiaguan once or several times in the sword test meeting, it can be regarded as a signal of force to Jing Jiuchao and Fenghong Villa, in order to highlight the presence of the sect circle, especially the two super sects.
After all, the sect circle has suffered a lot of hidden losses in the past few years. There is no way to get it back on the surface, so they can only express their inner dissatisfaction through this long-distance method. "
"Haha, that's right. It's great that you can think so clearly. But it looks like you're not ready to refuse?"
"Back to King Yongsheng, I'm not ready to refuse. It's just a fight. The sect's self-righteous look is very annoying. Do you think they are sure to win? I don't think so. Not to mention killing all the way. , as long as the official can win a game, it is not considered a win for the sect. On the contrary, it can enhance the reputation of the country and let the people of the sect see that the monks of the country are not easy to deal with."
Speaking of this, Shen Hao's tone couldn't help but carry a sense of momentum. Although Shen Hao was disdainful, he was also a little angry about the fact that the people in the sect treated him as a "soft persimmon" and were ready to take advantage of him. Coupled with the few trump cards he had this time, he really didn't think he would lose.
Want to mess with me? I just want to see if you are capable enough!
