Chapter 260 Questions
Li Qing felt a little uneasy.
Du Yuanxun followed Wang Youzhi to the outside of the Imperial Kitchen, waiting for the summons from His Majesty the Human Emperor.
Wang Youzhi was the hereditary commander of the Chaoge Guards. Since the founding of the Shang Dynasty, his ancestors had passed down the position for five generations, and he had served more than a hundred emperors.
But over the past few thousand years, there were no more than a handful of human emperors in the Shang Dynasty who could make him feel submissive.
And the current Emperor Xin is the one he admires the most!
His Majesty's talent is simply terrifying. At the age of 18, he was already invincible in Chaoge. His single-round martial arts skills could beat three of Du Yuanxun's!
This made Du Yuanxun, who had practiced for more than 500 years, very embarrassed.
Not to mention, His Majesty, though a mortal, is gifted with extraordinary talents and is even able to fight against ferocious beasts and enemies at the level of celestial beings!
This is not the first or second time that he has killed immortals with his mortal form!
Such divine power had already convinced Du Yuanxun and made him bow down in awe!
Recently, he had even heard that His Majesty was able to cultivate! During his battle in the North Sea, his divine energy was like the sun, illuminating the world! He slaughtered dozens of Golden Immortals and even reduced the Barbarian Clan Chieftain, a Daluo Golden Immortal, to ashes!
How could he not be nervous with His Majesty the Human Emperor being such a figure?
Standing outside the palace, Du Yuanxun wondered if he had been too negligent recently and let a lot of demons and monsters into Chaoge?
To the point of making His Majesty unhappy?
"Your Majesty, Commander Du is here and waiting outside."
Wang Youzhi walked to Li Qing's side slowly but quickly and spoke softly.
Li Qing took a sip of porridge, nodded and said, "Come in, and you wait outside."
"promise……"
Wang Youzhi nodded, then turned around and walked out again.
"Commander Du, His Majesty wants you to come in."
After leaving the Imperial Kitchen, Wang Youzhi's aura changed. He stood on the stone platform, looking at Du Yuanxun below, and spoke slowly.
Du Yuanxun nodded quickly and walked up quickly, but when he reached Wang Youzhi, his hand shook and a pill fell into Wang Youzhi's hand.
Du Yuanxian smiled and said, "Great Steward, this Shen Lian Hua Yun Pill of mine is a nourishing sacred product that can improve your cultivation. Please take it. But His Majesty suddenly summoned me today. What is the matter?"
Wang Youzhi remained calm. With a flip of his hand, the Soul-Refining Pill vanished without a trace. He smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty is in a good mood today. This shouldn't be a bad thing. Just go and wait."
"Oh, thank you, Chief Steward."
When Du Yuanxuan heard this, he had an idea in mind. He smiled and nodded, then walked into the imperial kitchen.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Walking into the hall, Du Yuanxian saw that Li Qing was eating very happily, so he didn't dare to go close to disturb him. He just knelt down on one knee at a distance and bowed loudly.
"Oh, Yuan Xian, come here, come sit down. I called you here so early in the morning. Haven't you had breakfast yet? Come, come and have something to eat with me."
Li Qing looked up, glanced at Du Yuanxun, and immediately said with a smile.
"I dare not!"
When Du Yuanxun heard this, his heart skipped a beat. What happened to the king today?
The king with a pleasant face is really a little scary.
For a moment he quickly lowered his head and replied loudly.
"What's there to be afraid of? If you don't want to eat, forget it. Just get up."
Li Qing shook his head and smiled, then waved and said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Du Yuanxun quickly stood up and stood at the door of the hall.
"Why are you standing so far away? Come closer."
Seeing that Du Yuanxun refused to move, Li Qing frowned slightly, waved his hand and said.
Du Yuanxun hurriedly walked to Li Qing's side, then stood up straight, waiting for Li Qing's questions.
Li Qing drank the last mouthful of porridge, wiped his mouth with a gauze handkerchief, and then looked at Du Yuanxian and said, "My dear, has anyone wanted to see me recently?"
"outsider?"
Upon hearing this, Du Yuanxian quickly and carefully recalled the past few months, then said, "Your Majesty! Apart from the Qigong practitioner Yun Zhongzi, no one else wants to see you!"
"Let's not talk about him. The few days I mentioned are, well, within these ten days."
When Li Qing heard this, he immediately smiled and waved his hand, and finally asked seriously.
"These ten days..."
Du Yuanxian thought about it carefully, and suddenly a bead of sweat appeared on his forehead. He knelt down and said, "Your Majesty! I acknowledge my guilt!"
"Um?"
Li Qing was stunned when he saw this, and asked in confusion: "What crime have you committed?"
"Your Majesty, I shouldn't have allowed Concubine Su's two sisters to enter the palace without permission! I am guilty!"
Du Yuanxun knelt down and kowtowed, speaking loudly.
When Li Qing heard this, he understood.
This guy consciously figured out his own thoughts and felt that the two women entered the palace to serve as his bedside companions, so he naturally would not stop them, otherwise it would make him unhappy.
Of course, his guess was correct.
However, Li Qing snorted and said, "Yuan Xian, it's good that you know. Although the two women entered the palace quietly, you can't not tell me a word, right? How can this affect me?"
Du Yuanxian shuddered slightly, feeling frightened.
But Li Qing immediately smiled and said, "Alright, stand up now. I can see your loyalty, and I am very pleased with you two ladies. But you must not publicize this matter. Do you understand?"
The situation took a turn for the worse, and Li Qing's change made Du Yuanxun confused.
His underwear was almost soaked by now.
But unexpectedly, Li Qing not only did not pursue the matter, but there was even a hint of praise in his words!
Du Yuanxuan nodded quickly and said, "Yes!"
Then he stood up again.
Then Li Qing asked, "Apart from the two women, there is no, ahem, no third woman? Well, this woman is from the Wu clan. Did you stop her? Or, kill her?"
The words were a little awkward at the beginning, but by the end, a hint of solemnity appeared in Li Qing's eyes.
"The third woman? A witch?"
Du Yuanxian quickly recalled everything carefully, then shook his head and said, "My king, apart from the two women, there is indeed no one else who came to see you."
"Well, I understand."
When Li Qing heard this, he felt relieved.
It seems that Jiufeng hasn't come yet!
Therefore, he nodded, then with a wave of his hand, he took out two bottles of high-quality elixirs that could only be consumed by Daluo Jinxian, and casually placed them on the table, saying: "My dear, you have protected the Great Shang Dynasty for generations, and your contributions are not small. These two bottles of elixirs are my personal compensation to you. As for other official promotions, when the army goes on a campaign in the future, you will have military merits to reward you, and then you will be granted a title of nobility."
As a fourth-level Daluo Jinxian, Du Yuanxun's pupils shrank when he saw the two bottles of pills!
How could he not see how beneficial this elixir would be to the Golden Immortal?
Suddenly, he knelt down again and shouted, "I will die for the Shang Dynasty! I will go through fire and water for Your Majesty! I will never change my mind, even if it means death!"
"well."
Li Qing smiled, raised his hand to help Du Yuanxian up, and said with a smile: "The Great Shang is fortunate to have you, and I am fortunate to have you!"
