After leaving Master Dugu's cave, Han Feng rushed all the way to the front mountain, planning to set off directly to the Beiyuan Forest.
But before that, he first went to find Wu Yufeng.
When she saw Han Feng coming, Wu Yufeng knew his purpose, and immediately placed thousands of huazi wrapped in them in front of Han Feng.
Han Feng was overjoyed when he saw this and expressed his gratitude again and again.
The Huazi made by Wu Yufeng last time had already been finished by herself.
When he came back this time, he also took the time to make a batch of them, and he used his mental power to make them in batches.
However, even though it has the same ingredients and the same process, Han Feng always feels that the taste is wrong.
After careful consideration, Han Feng finally concluded that the problem might be with his "legs"!
So at this moment, Han Feng picked up a piece of Huazi made by Wu Yufeng, lit it and held it in his mouth. After just one puff, his eyes lit up.
There is also a hint of virgin fragrance in the burning aroma of the elixir, and the taste is very wonderful.
"Hmm...that's what it smells like!"
Seeing Han Feng's intoxicated expression, Wu Yufeng couldn't help but blush.
After all, these balls were rolled up one by one on her thighs, but now the other party put them in his mouth in front of her, which made her feel a little strange.
Not long after, Han Feng thanked Wu Yufeng again and informed the other party that he was leaving the college to perform his mission, and then left.
Han Feng had completed all the preparations yesterday, and he went directly to the "Spirit Beast Garden" outside Dan Pavilion.
Spending 20 merit points in the Spiritual Beast Garden, I rented a purple kite alone.
Han Feng skillfully controlled the Purple Land Kite, soared into the sky, and headed directly towards the north of Tiannan Peak and the Beiyuan Forest.
Entering the Beiyuan Forest this time, Han Feng planned to spend up to a month to complete all twelve five-star tasks.
Once you have earned enough merit points, you can return to the academy to practice in seclusion.
…
As Han Feng just set off.
Some people have already reached their "destination".
In the southeast of the Qianlan Empire, the throat of the country, the imperial capital "Qiancheng" where the true dragon's energy gathers!
This giant city, which was the political, military, cultural, and cultural center of the Qianlan Empire, has endured for thousands of years. Its significance cannot be measured by a single city.
This is the "heart" of the entire Qianlan Empire and the "soul" of this country.
Qiancheng is majestic and powerful, and the Golden City is thousands of miles away. Its majesty and majesty are unparalleled by any city in the country.
And the royal palace in the center of this giant city is the highest symbol of the empire's authority.
At this moment, in this magnificent Jade Tower and Golden Pavilion, several figures entered from the palace gate, walked along the royal road, crossed the water bridge, and passed through the three palaces...
When they arrived at the entrance of the harem, only two people were allowed to go. They were led by the palace servants to the southeast of the harem, outside a square pavilion with an elegant environment and deep greenery.
Outside the attic door, in addition to several chamberlains, there were eight guards covered in gold armor, standing motionless outside the building, like sculptures.
The eyes of these guards seemed dull, but they glowed with a chilling light.
Whenever someone comes close to Baizhang Pavilion, these eyes will be like sharp knives piercing the bones, which is horrifying.
The people who were led here were an old man and a young man.
The young man is dressed in a purple forest python robe and a jade crown, neat and solemn. The old man beside him has gray hair and is dressed in eunuch clothes.
At this moment, both of them looked like they were tired from work. It was obvious that they had traveled a long way and came here without any time to rest.
Not daring to cross over, he stepped directly into the pavilion. The young man in python robe and the old eunuch kowtowed at the door of the palace.
"My son Zhu Hongyu, please pay homage to your father!"
It turned out that these two people were the Crown Prince Zhu Hongyu and the East Palace Attendant Li Wei, who had returned to the imperial capital all the way from Beiyang City.
As the prince bowed and bowed, a chamberlain entered the royal study and came out after a while to preach.
"Prince Xuan enters the imperial study to pay an audience."
Zhu Hongyu did not dare to neglect. He stood up and patted the dust on his knees before stepping into the door of the royal study.
He walked all the way again and entered the inner room of the imperial study. After opening the curtain, he finally saw someone.
Behind a broad book case carved with dragons and phoenixes, a middle-aged man was sitting on a golden dragon chair, flipping through a thick classic in his hands.
This middle-aged man looks to be about thirty or forty years old. He is wearing an ocher yellow robe. He has a tall figure and a slightly thin face. His appearance is not handsome, and his facial features can only be described as straight.
At first glance, this person seems ordinary, even the same as a teacher in a private school.
But if you take a closer look at the ray of light that flashes through the eyes of this person when he is quietly looking at the book, you will be invisibly shocked and feel an overwhelming pressure.
Zhu Hongyu was in awe of the ordinary-looking middle-aged man before the case, as if he were seeing a being from heaven!
Because he is the current sage "Martial Emperor" Zhu Yuanzhen, a "ruthless emperor" who overthrows the imperial royal family and reaches the ninth level as the fifth prince!
Facing his father, Zhu Hongyu did not dare to be rude at all, and immediately knelt on his knees and kowtowed.
"My son has met my father."
Regarding Zhu Hongyu's obeisance, His Majesty the Emperor in front of the case seemed not to hear it and continued to reach out and flip through the books in his hand.
In response to this, Prince Zhu Hongyu not only did not dare to be slow at all, but instead felt anxious in his heart, sweating on his forehead, and he felt an inexplicable fear.
He knew very well that his father, under his seemingly peaceful and gentle appearance, had deep imperial intentions and iron-blooded methods.
Even as the prince, he did not dare to make any mistakes or rely on him.
He kept his kneeling posture like this, motionless, for a full stick of incense.
Finally, Zhu Yuanzhen slowly closed the book.
As soon as he raised his hand, standing beside him, a round-faced old eunuch with fair face and beardless hair, and a childlike face, quickly stepped forward and bowed to take the book.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhen raised his eyes and looked at the prince Zhu Hongyu who was kneeling in front of the desk.
"Get up."
Zhu Yuanzhen's voice was deep and straight, with no hint of joy or anger.
When Zhu Hongyu heard this, his body trembled slightly, and then he stood up carefully to thank him and stood with a bow.
After another brief silence, Zhu Yuanzhen glanced at Zhu Hongyu, who was covered in dust, and said.
"The prince has returned from a long journey, why don't you take a rest for the night and come see me again."
The prince hurriedly bowed.
"My son is frightened and does not dare to delay for a moment. He came here to report his trip experience to his father."
Zhu Yuanzhen nodded slightly, but still couldn't see the slightest fluctuation in his eyes, and just said calmly.
"In that case, you should go through the road on this journey.
I'm listening. "
Zhu Hongyu hurriedly bowed again. Before coming here, he had already prepared a draft. He then roughly recounted his experience of traveling from south to north and then all the way to the imperial capital.
After saying that, he waited anxiously for his father's reaction.
Zhu Yuanzhen just pondered for a moment and then said.
"In other words, the Eye of Dongxu has been completely lost."
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Hongyu felt a chill in his heart and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.
"My son is incompetent. He originally discovered the whereabouts of the Eye of Dongxu in Beiyang City, but...an accident happened in the end and failed to recapture this treasure. I am willing to accept the punishment!"
Zhu Hongyu knew in his heart that the Eye of Cave was of great importance. Even though his father had acquiesced in giving this object to him, but he lost such a treasure, and his crime was also very serious.
Seeing Zhu Hongyu taking the initiative to accept the crime, Zhu Yuanzhen nodded.
"The Eye of Dongxu is the most powerful magical power of the Dongxu Divine Beast, and it is also a precious trophy that Master Dugu won at the cost of serious damage to himself. You have lost this object. It is really a big sin.
Since you take the initiative to plead guilty, I will punish you with three years of salary in the East Palace, and your chariot will be demoted one level.
In addition, in three days, I will preside over the grand ceremony for the kingship of Marshal Dugu. Before that, I order you to stand outside the gate of Marshal Dugu's mansion and bear a thorn to plead guilty until you are forgiven by him. "
After hearing this, Zhu Hongyu, who had already thought of various severe punishments from his father, could not help but be stunned on the spot.
Is this punishment for yourself?
Just a fine, a reduced salary, and an apology from the King of Zhennan, which seemed to be severe punishments, were actually just symbolic punishments, and he did not waver in his position as the crown prince.
Seeing that Zhu Hongyu was speechless, Zhu Yuan responded calmly.
"Why, you haven't accepted the punishment yet. Do you have objections to my decision?"
Zhu Hongyu was shocked and kowtowed hurriedly.
"My son, I thank my father for his kindness and accept the punishment!"
Zhu Yuanzhen nodded.
"Okay, get up."
Zhu Hongyu stood up as ordered, but he was still in a daze. He didn't expect everything to pass like this.
With my father's style, he would never escape so easily if he made such a big mistake.
Although Zhu Hongyu was full of doubts, he did not dare to ask any more questions.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhen asked again.
"By the way, Prince, you just said that you met your Uncle Wang in Beiyang City?"
Zhu Hongyu responded hurriedly: "Back to my father, at that time Beiyang City had just passed through the beast tide, and my son and the governor of Yumen County were stationed outside the city.
Unexpectedly, the fourth uncle came to observe the people's sentiments, and we met in the army. "
Zhu Yuanzhen nodded, and a trace of reminiscence flashed in Gujing Wubo's eyes.
"Calculating the time, I haven't seen Prince Ying for more than 20 years. How is his health now?"
"Well……"
Zhu Hongyu hesitated and replied: "Uncle Wang, he is in good health and looks as good as before."
"oh……"
When Zhu Yuanzhen heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a playful smile at the corner of his mouth.
"I'm afraid if you say one less word, you won't be any less naughty than before."
Zhu Hongyu was startled when he heard this, but did not dare to answer.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhen shook his head and laughed.
"Forget it, I naturally know what kind of temper my brother is, as long as he is safe and sound.
By the way, did King Ying ask you to bring me a message? "
Hearing this, Zhu Hongyu was stunned and said hurriedly.
"Oh... By the way, Uncle Wang asked his son to say hello to his father and ask him to take care of his dragon body."
Zhu Yuanzhen stroked his beard and nodded, with a smile on his lips.
But at this moment, Zhu Hongyu recalled another thing that King Ying asked him to do.
Naturally, he didn't want to mention it from the bottom of his heart, but when he thought about what the other party had said before leaving, he didn't want to mention it.
If this fails, the other party will send a group of prostitutes into the imperial capital and send them to the East Palace with drums and gongs. Zhu Hongyu thinks about it and gets a headache.
With Uncle Wang's perverse temperament, if he doesn't obey him, the other party will definitely be able to do it.
Gritting his teeth secretly in his heart, Zhu Hongyu had no choice but to speak again.
"By the way, father, Uncle Wang still has something to report to me."
"Oh...what's the matter?"
Zhu Yuanzhen asked curiously.
"Uh...Uncle Wang wants to obtain the position of viscount for someone."
