At night, inside the Muxin Hall of the Qianlan Empire Palace.
His Majesty Emperor Wu reviewed the last memorial and put it back on Long's desk. His expression still showed no sign of fatigue.
He turned to casually ask Hong Xi, the chambermaid next to him.
"Has Han Feng entered the Martial Palace?"
Hong Xi hurriedly replied: "Early this morning, Academician Han entered the Martial Palace."
Emperor Wu nodded and said: "He is quite impatient, but the fact that he would choose to exchange for the opportunity to enter the Martial Palace is somewhat beyond my expectation."
Hong Xi said: "Scholar Han is extremely talented and is the leader of the younger generation in our Qianlan Empire. He must have his own plans."
When Emperor Wu heard this, he said noncommittally: "Although this Han Feng has extraordinary talents, he is not a worry-free master.
Before I could settle the accounts with him about the trouble caused by Tianci Pavilion, he went into hiding first. "
When Hong Xi heard this, his expression changed slightly and he said, "Your Majesty is talking about Scholar Han protecting Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess at the Qionghua Festival and subduing Shangguan Lin?"
Emperor Wu snorted coldly: "Hmph, this boy is not protecting the princess. He is clearly using my hands to eradicate his enemies for him."
Hong Xi saw that Emperor Wu was not really angry, and immediately comforted him: "Your Majesty, please calm down. This matter cannot be entirely blamed on Master Han. That Shangguan Lin is not a kind person either. Fortunately, the Shangguan family has dealt with this person and made his attitude clear to Your Majesty." .”
Emperor Wu sneered when he heard this.
"Haha... Do you think this matter really has anything to do with the Shangguan family?
Even if Shangguan Qingfeng hates Han Feng, in this imperial capital, under my nose, do you think he really dares to touch Han Feng? "
When Hong Xi heard this, his eyes flashed slightly and he said, "Uh... I'm confused, I don't know the reason."
Emperor Wu glanced at him.
"You're really good at pretending to be confused. That's all. Please step back first. I'm a little tired."
When Hong Xi heard this, he hurriedly bowed and left.
…
After Emperor Wu was the only one in the palace, a glimmer of light flashed in his hand, and a crystal jade talisman appeared.
Emperor Wu flicked his finger, and a ray of spiritual light penetrated into the jade talisman. The jade talisman exploded in the air and turned into a ball of white light. The light and shadow floated and twisted, and a human figure gradually condensed.
This man was wearing a purple and gold battle armor, he was brave and handsome, and he had a towering aura. He was actually the commander-in-chief "Zhang Dingnan" who was currently guarding the South China Sea and presiding over the three major coastal battlefields.
"General, I will pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
Zhang Dingnan's illusory figure saluted Emperor Wu.
The moment he saw Zhang Dingnan, Emperor Wu's expression became serious, and there was even a look of worry between his eyebrows that he had never seen before.
"Dingnan, what is the current situation in the South China Sea? Has that area been exposed?"
Zhang Dingnan also said solemnly: "Your Majesty, although it has not been completely exposed yet, the major forces on the mainland seem to have noticed some suspicions. Now the seven kings and eleven kings of the Kraken clan have arrived at our coastal battlefield. The Sea of Ten Thousand Stars caused countless sea monsters to search the sea area.
In addition, experts from the Tianyuan Dynasty have also sneaked into the South China Sea to secretly investigate the matter, and the man from Star Demon Island is also preparing to make a move. "
After hearing this, Emperor Wu couldn't help frowning and his expression became solemn.
"It seems that this secret can no longer be kept, Dingnan... how long can we delay it at most?"
Zhang Dingnan pondered for a moment and said: "Based on the current situation, within a year at most, the aura of that place will be completely unable to be suppressed and will eventually be exposed.
But what I'm really worried about now is that these guys may not wait that long. "
Emperor Wu: "What do you mean...?"
Zhang Dingnan said with a serious expression: "They may start a war in the South China Sea to force me, the Qianlan Empire, to voluntarily reveal that place.
We may even have evil intentions towards the "boundary breaking order" we have obtained! "
When Emperor Wu heard this, his eyes flashed and he nodded slowly.
"I also expected them to do this. We spent a lot of money to discover that place ten years before they did.
Before all this is completely exposed, the coastal battlefield must be stabilized. Dingnan, I know that you are under great pressure. I have ordered the "Dark Lord" to return to the imperial capital and ask him to personally escort the kingdom's artifact to the South China Sea.
You must defend the South China Sea. If it really comes to a critical moment, even if we use the whole country to mobilize the "Old God of War" to take action personally, we must defend everything.
After all, this is the only chance for our Qianlan Empire to completely change the destiny of the country! "
Hearing this, Zhang Dingnan knelt down on one knee and said resolutely: "Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as I am still breathing, the coastal battlefield will be safe!"
Then he said: "Your Majesty, you should also be more careful, now that they are aware of the existence of that place.
In addition to the coastal battlefield, I am afraid that all parties led by the Tianyuan Dynasty will infiltrate into our Qianlan Empire, and the "Imperial Capital" must be their primary target. "
Emperor Wu nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will take precautions!"
Afterwards, the two talked secretly in the palace for a long time.
After everything was discussed, Zhang Dingnan finally bowed and his figure began to fade away.
Seeing this, Emperor Wu couldn't help asking: "Don't you ask about your adopted brother?"
Zhang Dingnan, whose figure was illusory and dim, heard a proud smile on his face.
"I'm aware of Han Feng's situation. His performance has exceeded my expectations and he will definitely contribute to the empire in the future. With His Majesty protecting him, I can rest assured!"
…
At the same time, in the south of the imperial capital, there was a high-gate mansion.
In the backyard of the mansion, there is a beautiful lotus pond with sparkling waves under the moonlight. A beautiful figure is sitting in a pavilion in the pool, gently stroking the strings of the piano, and the sound lingers for a long time.
After a while, the music stopped, and there was a burst of applause in the pavilion.
A cute young man with red lips and white teeth, chewing a candied haws in his mouth, looked at the beautiful figure and said with bright eyes: "Auntie, your piano music is so beautiful, much better than those musicians in the palace!"
Hearing this, the beauty in the pavilion slowly took back her green hands on the strings and looked at the young man with a smile.
"We haven't seen each other for a few days, and you little guy has become a lot more glib."
"Hehe... Auntie, everything I said is true."
The woman smiled and said: "You haven't been to my residence for a long time, why did you come suddenly today?"
When the young man heard the words, he paused for a moment, then turned his eyes and said, "I...I want to see my aunt."
The woman's eyes were as clear as a spring, and she looked into the young man's eyes and said, "How come I heard that in recent times, you often don't go to the study room to attend lectures?
From my point of view, if you come here today, it seems that I am fake and truancy is real! "
"Ah...!" When the young man heard this, he couldn't help but whisper, and his panicked expression instantly betrayed him.
Facing his aunt's eyes, which seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, the young man could only nod frankly, and then defended.
"Auntie, it's not that I don't want to go to class. It's just that I have long memorized the words my husband said by heart, and I can recite the books he asked me to read by heart. I don't want to keep learning these things.
Han Feng said that there are many things that cannot be learned in books. I want to learn some new things. "
Hearing the word "Han Feng" from the young man's mouth, the woman's starry eyes flashed slightly, and then she said calmly: "Are you familiar with this Han Feng?"
When the woman asked about Han Feng, the young man's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.
"Of course, he's my best friend!"
Hearing the young man deliberately emphasizing the word "be good", the woman finally frowned slightly.
She watched the boy grow up, and she knew his temperament very well. Now Han Feng holds a lot of weight in his heart.
After thinking about it for a while, the woman added: "He is your good friend, so do you know what kind of person he is?"
The young man was stunned when he heard this, and then he said with unabated eyes: "Of course I understand, Han Feng is a very powerful person, he is not only very strong, but also very knowledgeable.
He knows a lot of things and can tell a lot of stories, and what he says makes more sense than the great scholars in the palace. "
Seeing the young man's eyes shining with a hint of "admiration" in his eyes, the woman frowned slightly.
After thinking for a moment, she stretched her eyebrows and said: "Xiao Yi, I am very interested in the Han Feng you mentioned. You can stay in my house for a few days and tell me everything he said and told, okay?" "
When the young man heard this, he nodded excitedly. In this way, during this period, he would not have to go to the study room for classes.
