The monk in white is holding a wild goose feather arrow in his left hand.
Seeing the monk, Emperor Shenwu's face softened and he smiled. He put down the bow in his hand and stepped forward on his horse. Su Ming gently patted the white tiger's head, and it moved forward slowly with soft steps.
"Imperial Master, is this your prey?" The old emperor looked at the white tiger under Su Ming's seat, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. This white tiger was really handsome, without any ferocious look, but rather peaceful and peaceful. Her eyes were full of innocence, looking gentler than the cats in the palace.
"I see your Majesty, poor monk." Su Ming got off the white tiger, bowed slightly, and saluted, "This white tiger was accidentally encountered by the poor monk when he went deep into the forest. It is a natural heterogeneous species, which is extremely rare, so the poor monk took it. Transform it into a mount."
When he saw Emperor Shenwu, Su Ming was immediately surprised. Although in the previous cave he saw a place where Taoist priests were suspected of refining elixirs for Emperor Shenwu to seek immortality, but that place had been abandoned for an unknown period of time, so, He thought the old emperor had given up on immortality.
But now it seems that maybe he really succeeded.
In the old emperor, Su Ming did not feel any aura of decay and aging. His energy and blood were extremely strong, more powerful than ordinary youths, exuding the aura of health and youth, and even his soul was extremely young, as if he had transformed. Average.
When he first met the old emperor, he was still very old and looked like he was about to die at any time. But in less than a year, why did he have such a bad experience? big change?
Even if he shares the weight of luck, it is impossible for him to return to his youth. Moreover, the effectiveness of immortal cultivators' elixirs is greatly reduced for the master of luck like the old emperor, and sometimes even , there is no difference between elixir and poison.
Although there were many questions in his mind, the smile on Su Ming's face remained unchanged, and he still had the kind face.
"The Imperial Master is really lucky. I am a little envious to meet such a handsome mount in this mountain." The old emperor glanced at the white tiger again, but the white tiger looked like it was facing a formidable enemy, lowered its head slightly, and roared, His body was tense, as if he had encountered a strong enemy.
Immediately, the guards behind the old emperor hurriedly stepped forward and looked at the little white tiger coldly. If it made any move, it would be hit head-on.
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. He is rich all over the world. He is just a white tiger. It is nothing." Seeing this scene, Su Ming's eyes narrowed. He stretched out his palm and caressed the white tiger's head. Then it relaxed and held its head high. Head, eyes squinted, looking like he was enjoying himself.
After realizing that the danger was gone, the guards guarding the old emperor retreated. From the beginning to the end, he was smiling, as if he didn't care.
"Qianqiu's hunting is over, Imperial Master, let's go out together." Emperor Shenwu glanced at the guards behind him and said softly.
"Your Majesty has an order, and the poor monk must abide by it." Su Ming nodded and said nothing more, but the scene just now still appeared in his mind.
Emperor Shenwu is anything but simple!
Afterwards, the old emperor mounted his horse, stood up and left, while Su Ming also mounted the white tiger and followed him. Not long after, they stepped out of the formation and left the Royal Forest Garden.
After they came out, the general manager Cao Yuchen sealed off the formation again, and the Royal Forest Garden became a forbidden land again.

"Welcome to your majesty!" In the palace, Emperor Shenwu was sitting upright, looking very energetic. On his left and right sides, stood Prince Qi and Prince Qi respectively. The current Emperor Shenwu, with his fair hair and childish face, gave the ministers the feeling that The prince and the others are still young!
But just for a moment, the ministers lowered their heads and did not dare to look any further.
"My dear friends, I have been hunting for thousands of years. It is limited to three days. It has ended here. It has been dusty for three days, and I have eaten and slept in the open air. Tonight, you will go back to your house to wash away the dust. Tomorrow, a Qianqiu Hunting Banquet will be held in the palace. All your beloved ministers, military generals, ministers, literati and poets, all gathered together, such a grand event should come to light." Emperor Shenwu looked at his highness and ministers, his eyes were dark, and his voice was full of energy, which made people's hearts beat.
"I thank your Majesty for your kindness." All the courtiers bowed again.
Su Ming stood on the left side of the main hall, constantly sizing up the courtiers secretly. In his eyes, the luck of these courtiers was that some were like wolves, lions, tigers and leopards, some were like unicorns, white cranes, golden pheasants, and even purple and green above the heavenly spirits. Enveloped by the aura of Fu Rui, warding off all evils, and with the dense legal network, even those cultivating immortals did not dare to easily attack and kill the imperial officials.
The only ones who are not affected by luck are those warriors who practice Qi and Blood martial arts.
Sure enough, he looked away, with a hint of understanding in his eyes. As he expected, these civil and military ministers had more or less the luck of the court. The higher the position and the more powerful they were, the more luck they had. The thicker.
On the other hand, some nobles only received fictitious titles and did not have any real power in their hands. Their luck was much thinner, but one thing was better than those of civil servants. Their luck was far more deep-rooted than that of civil servants.
Because nobles and nobles have always lived together with the country and shared wealth and honor, this is also the legacy of their ancestors. Therefore, although there are few, the wealth and honor are endless and the water flows.
At the same time, the luck of these people is constantly nourishing the luck of the court, mutual benefit, and sharing weal and woe. Thinking of this, Su Ming wanted to interfere or even control the government more and more. Only by truly gaining the power of the court could he get more luck points.
But now, the court has three pillars and the situation is stable. It is very difficult for him, a national advisor, to interfere in the affairs of the court. Moreover, Emperor Shenwu may not let him participate in political affairs. Everything needs to be considered in the long term and cannot be impatient.
All kinds of thoughts passed by in a flash, Su Ming lowered his eyebrows, his eyes hidden.

Under the sunset.
The palace was shrouded in the sunset, and the afterglow was bright, like a fire, dyeing half of the sky blood red. The remaining light shone on the roof beast, sparsely, and there was a kind of tragic beauty before dusk.
There are many palaces, dotted with trees, with branches and leaves, green clouds, and birds with long tails perched on the branches, picking their feathers. When they see someone coming, they make clear calls that can be heard far away.
When the palace door opened, courtiers came in twos and threes. They were dressed in costumes and whispered something to their colleagues around them, but the overall atmosphere was lively and festive.
Hall of Supreme Harmony.
This palace is the largest palace in the imperial city and is rarely used. Unexpectedly, Emperor Shenwu actually chose to hold a banquet in this palace for this Qianqiu Banquet.
The civil and military ministers found their seats according to the list posted on the chair. Naturally, the civil and military ministers sat in two rows. There was fragrant tea and exquisite pastries in front of everyone. Except for those low-ranking officials, all the military officers, nobles and civil servants who participated in the hunt were waiting in the main hall.
Su Ming was also assigned a front seat, but since it was his first time to attend a court banquet, he was surrounded by unfamiliar ministers, and Su Ming had no intention of talking to them, so he just sat in his seat and closed his eyes to meditate.
