The next day, the emperor did not come to the Diqiu Stand again.
After all, it's not a lie to take care of everything. Let him sit here like a street kid for seven days, and the court may be shut down.
This is also the reason why Mingde said that the emperor's daughter Feng is not suitable to be an emperor. A serious emperor is very busy. If you ask her to go to court and handle official duties every day, she may soon give up.
Of course, if she didn't give up her choice, the situation might be worse.
The emperor was not free, but the officials after leaving the court would still come to see it. Some of them might be interested, and some of them might be betting on their wealth.
Without the emperor, everyone was quite casual in the stands. They sat in small groups and talked loudly, no different from the people at the foot of the mountain.
There are two groups with the largest number of people gathered. One group is the military generals of the DPRK. Although the leader of the general Zhu Guo is not there, a group of warriors gather together, and it is still very lively.
The other group was centered on Prime Minister Su Qian, who was the leader of the hundred officials. Most of the civil servants gathered here, talking and laughing around the prime minister.
Usually in the court, many people here are of such high rank that they may not even be able to tell whether the prime minister is wearing clothes when he goes to court. However, in such a leisurely environment, it was rare to have a few words with the prime minister, so everyone naturally went out of their way to flatter him.
But after all, it is nothing more than praising the prime minister's ability to recognize talents.
Su Qian Buyi entered the official career alone, it can be said that he has no background. The eight sects, eight sects and sixteen prime ministers he promoted were almost all created from scratch, and they were all unknown people.
But under Su Qian's command for more than ten years, twelve sects participated in the general election this time, and six were shortlisted for the Hundred Sects Competition.
The shortlisting rate of up to half is enough to demonstrate the gold content of this new generation of eight sects.
And all this, in the words of the surrounding officials, is naturally that the Prime Minister has a keen eye for recognizing talents.
To be honest, this is not really flattering.
Because Su Qian cultivated such a large force on his own with no background, it was something beyond ordinary people's imagination, even if he had the status and resources of a prime minister... There were not a few prime ministers in the past who had a very miserable life.
But even after achieving this result, Su Qian's face still showed no joy, but a faint frown.
"Shu Mountain, this Chu Liang..." he murmured.
Yesterday, Chu Liang had beaten more than a dozen at a time and eliminated the three families led by Wudu Sect. Now, judging from the situation, he was going to the three families of Dihuo Sect. Su Qian was naturally concerned.
When people around heard the Prime Minister's remarks, someone immediately whispered: "This Chu Liang is really going too far. He keeps staring at the Prime Minister's sect to fight. He is obviously targeting him."
"Yesterday, the Five Poison Sect's skills were restrained, but the Earth Fire Sect will definitely make him come back defeated!"
"I have long disliked him if he keeps a fake smile on his face all day long."
"..."
Although Chu Liang is the imperial younger brother, these people only know that they are commending him for his achievements in the capital of Yu last time, and they have no official power. In the end, he is still a Jianghu man. In order to please the prime minister, these people will naturally not hesitate to spray a few words.
Unexpectedly, Su Qian changed the topic and said: "This Chu Liang is really talented and one of the best among people. It wouldn't be a shame if we lose to him."
"Haha, yes!" The people around him nodded heavily, "He is indeed the best among people, and he is worthy of being your royal concubine."
"The Dihuo Sect with the Prime Minister is a good match, and we will meet a good talent."
"I have long noticed that he has a handsome face and is quite pleasing to the eye."
"..."
The way of being an official and jumping around repeatedly, the conversations of these people may sound outrageous to outsiders, but in this circle it is not surprising.
But everyone's eyes soon changed again.
"What are the people from Thunder Castle doing?!"
…
Du Wuhen, Wei Tiangao, and Deng Yixiao were angry and resentful after they killed their junior sister. But if they want to attack Yanbo City, they must also fear the power of Yang Shenlong.
After all, the junior sister was not really killed, she was just eliminated. Even though she was angry, she could only endure it for now.
They still have a heavy burden on their shoulders.
After searching for a while in the direction away from Yanbo City, the Qingfeng Black Bird flew through the sky, whistling past like a ray of sky wind, and returned in a moment.
fell on Du Wuhen's shoulders again.
"Xuanniao has found traces of Chu Liang of the Shushan sect. He is dozens of miles away in the northwest, and the others must not be far from him." Du Wuhen said: "Let's go!"
The three brothers suddenly accelerated, flew at low altitude, and rushed in the direction that Xuanniao saw. After flying for a short time, I saw a rather hidden valley.
And the green wind black bird flew back again to deliver the message again.
"Chu Liang is coming here. Let's ambush him in the valley. We can catch him by surprise and kill one of his generals." Du Wuhen said again.
The two brothers followed his lead and naturally had no objections. The three brothers escaped into the valley together.
The forest in the valley here is deep and dense, and the spiritual energy is strong. It is difficult to detect with a little concealment, so it is suitable for hiding one's body. But as soon as the three brothers landed in the mountains, they noticed something was wrong.
It's a pity that the Snow Mountain God Dog in this virtual realm was eliminated along with Huang Ling'er, otherwise it would have smelled the chaotic atmosphere here before getting close.
As soon as it landed, Deng Yixiao's Five Fire God Apes were the first to react, roaring suddenly, "Ho--"
The body of the divine ape exploded several times, turning into a huge fire ape nearly ten feet tall, roaring in one direction with a ferocious look.
"He sensed the breath of alien flames." Deng Yi said with a smile.
At the same time, a few people slowly walked out of the depths of the valley, and practitioners also appeared on both sides. More than ten people surrounded the three brothers.
The two leaders were two young men who looked very similar, like twin brothers. The one on the left is slightly taller, with long, thin hair and sharp eyes; the one on the right is slightly shorter and stronger, with a wicked smile.
The three Thunder Castle brothers also recognized that these two were the Ling brothers, the main force of the Dark Horse Dihuo Sect that had been very popular in the general election the day before yesterday.
On the left is the elder brother Ling Xiao, and on the right is the younger brother Ling Yan. Their Hunyuan Earth Heart Fire is quite powerful.
Together with the two fellow sects next to him, he should be from the Dihuo Sect.
The team on the left is three practitioners carrying huge wooden boxes behind them. They should be the puppet sects of the eight sects. They firmly believe that the puppets that have been sacrificed are alive, so the sect has a rule that never puts the puppets whose lives have been sacrificed into storage instruments.
The team on the right looks even weirder. Each of them only has their upper body stretched out, and their lower body is still integrated into the trees and vines. Their aura is integrated with the dense forest. If they don't take the initiative to show up, there is no way to detect it.
This must be the Kuimu sect among the eight sects. It specializes in the Five Elements Wood Technique and has its own set of miraculous inheritance.
Although the three brothers are not afraid of these people, their main goal is Shushan and they do not want to cause trouble. Chu Liang is not far from here, so taking action rashly might scare the enemy away.
So Du Wuhen first held up his hands and said: "We accidentally broke in and have no hostility towards you. Since you have occupied this place first, we will leave now."
"Heh." Ling Xiao from the Earth Fire Sect smiled and said, "I recognize you guys from Thunder Castle. You have great reputations. What do you think we are doing hiding here? Aren't we just waiting for someone to come? ?”
Du Wuhen's expression darkened, and his eyes suddenly became as sharp as a knife. He glanced at Ling Xiao, causing him to take half a step back unconsciously.
"You can't defeat our brothers, and our target is not you. It's best for each of us to take a step back." Deng Yixiao also said.
On the other hand, Wei Tiangao, who had a hot temper, was already eager to try. He stroked the purple electric turtle's big head with his palm, looking like he was about to take action at any time.
"You won't know until you try it. If no one dares to touch it, then why are we here?" Ling Yan took a step forward and shouted: "Do it!"
With an order, a roar echoed throughout the valley.
boom!
…
But more than ten miles away from the valley, Chu Liang was still slowly following the disciple of the Puppet Sect, claiming to be luring the enemy, but actually leading the way.
Seeing that the outline of the valley could be seen in front of him, he suddenly heard roars in it, as if a fierce battle was about to begin.
"Huh?" The disciple stopped in mid-air and wondered, "I haven't gone back yet. Who are you fighting against?"
"Is this the valley? It's quite lively." Chu Liang caught up and said beside him.
"This place is so fringe, how can anyone come here?" The disciple was puzzled for a moment, and then said: "Since someone is here, there should be something harvested today, or you should leave first. I think you are a good person, follow me in He will be beaten to death."
"I haven't gained anything yet, how can I leave?" Chu Liang said with a smile: "I think you are a good person. Let's have dinner together when we have time."
"Okay." The disciple smiled.
Then Chu Liang caught a tentacle that sneaked over.
"How can you talk and still take action?" he asked with a smile.
The disciple touched his nose awkwardly again, "It's just a competition after all."
"It's okay, I understand." Chu Liang nodded: "Let's think about it together again."
Behind the Puppet Sect disciple, Chu Liang's figure appeared again at some point, and he punched at this moment.
boom--
The wooden box behind the disciple suddenly broke open, and it turned out to be a disk-like object with ten tentacles extending out from the disk, looking like a huge octopus.
Chu Liang's sneak attack was actually caught by the puppet, and he punched the disc with a loud sound, leaving only a slight crack.
And the remaining ten tentacles were wrapping around him like Chu Liang at the same time, seeming to want to control him.
But in the next moment, the divine dragon fire ignited in Chu Liang's palm.
boom--
The red-gold flames immediately swallowed up the wooden puppet and the disciple's figure. With a scream, the entire figure disappeared in the air, leaving only a soul crystal falling.
Chu Liang caught it firmly before approaching the valley again.
