Chapter 85 I Found You (Monthly Ticket Plus)
After listening to Wei Xun's report, Xiao Mo realized that twenty days had passed since Wei Xun last informed the elders of the Wanjian Sect about the progress.
Xiao Mo frowned, "Why is the elder of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect nine days later than expected?"
"Your Majesty, this is what happened," Wei Xun replied. "I heard that Elder Huang felt it would be inconvenient to meet Your Majesty without any gifts, so he took a detour and went to Western Beast Mountain to retrieve a fourth-grade ferocious beast's magic core, specifically to present to Your Majesty."
"I see." Xiao Mo nodded, "Elder Huang is really thoughtful."
The cultivators of the human and demon races are divided into different realms.
The ferocious beasts are divided into grades, corresponding to the nine realms of cultivators.
The strength of a fourth-grade ferocious beast is comparable to that of a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage.
"You go and get ready. I'm going to take a bath and change clothes. You can wait for me in Qingquan Palace." Xiao Mo waved his hand.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will prepare it for you right away." Wei Xun hurriedly tried to retreat.
"Wait." Xiao Mo suddenly remembered something and called Wei Xun.
"Your Majesty, do you have any other instructions?" Wei Xun lowered his eyebrows respectfully.
"How is Wang Can, the Deputy Chief Censor of the Metropolitan Censorate?"
Wang Can secretly entered the palace to discuss how to eliminate the thieves, but was discovered by Yan Shanao and was demoted to Lingnan.
From the beginning to the end, Wang Can kept cursing at Yan Shanao and never showed any fear.
This is truly a loyal minister.
Moreover, Wang Can’s name is the same as the name of the old village chief in the Bai Shi Book.
The old village chief treated him very well, which made Xiao Mo feel particularly close to Wang Can.
"Your Majesty," Wei Xun said with a complicated expression, "Lord Wang should have arrived in Lingnan by now and taken up his post."
"Yes." Xiao Mo nodded. "Go and prepare some people, secretly go to Lingnan, and have them stay by Wang Can's side day and night. Make sure he's safe. Got it?"
"Your Majesty, rest assured. I know what I know, and I will definitely send someone to protect Lord Wang's life without any worries."
"Well, go ahead."
Xiao Mo waved his hand.
Although he was a puppet emperor, it did not mean that he had no one available. It was just that most of the pro-imperial forces had been transferred out of the capital.
However, it is still possible to protect Wang Can who is far away in Lingnan.
After Wei Xun took his leave, Xiao Mo went to Qingquan Palace to take a bath, and then changed into a dragon robe with the help of a maid.
When Xiao Mo came out, Wei Xun had already set up the dragon chariot.
"Get up and leave the palace!"
As Wei Xungong's duck voice sounded, several one-horned red-blooded horses pulled the dragon chariot forward, followed by two rows of maids.
When Xiao Mo left the palace, officers and soldiers from Jingzhao Prefecture were already maintaining order on Xuanwu Street. All officials followed the dragon chariot, and only Yan Shanao rode a horse and followed behind the chariot.
When they arrived outside the north gate of the imperial city, many officials were ready to welcome the arrival of the immortal leader of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
At the same time, less than five miles away from the Zhou imperial capital, Jiang Qingyi and the other two had already fallen from the sky.
In the mortal world, there is an unwritten rule.
That is, when a sect's envoy goes to visit the dynasty's imperial capital, if someone greets you outside, you have to stop five miles away and then walk there to show respect.
Although the Wanjian Sect is one of the top ten sects in the world, when meeting a small country like Zhou, even if it ignores this etiquette, the other party will not dare to say anything.
However, the Wanjian Sect has always been "talk about rules first, then talk about swords."
"Master, would you like to go to Zhou Kingdom in person?"
Elder Huang Wei looked at the veiled sect leader beside him with a guilty conscience and spoke hesitantly.
The main reason is that Huang Wei really can’t guess what the sect leader is thinking.
Huang Wei was just one of the many elders of the Wanjian Sect. He wanted to take in a small country as his younger brother so that he could gain some benefits from it.
Who knew that the clan leader would follow him?
It would be fine if the sect leader came along.
The leader ended up covering his face with a scarf, pretending to be an inner disciple of the Wanjian Sect, and came down the mountain to see the world.
The Zhou Kingdom received him with great ceremony, but the leader just stood aside.
How dare you do that?
"unnecessary."
Jiang Qingyi spoke coldly. She changed her voice with her spiritual power. The veil was also a magic weapon. Unless someone had a higher realm than her, no one could see her face under the veil.
"Just do what you have to do. I am just an ordinary inner sect disciple. Please do not reveal my identity. Do you understand?"
"It's Zong."
Just as Huang Wei was about to salute, he saw the sect leader's cold, narrowed sword eyes. He shuddered in fear and quickly changed his words. The strong desire to survive made Huang Wei immediately immersed in the play:
"Don't worry, Jiang Rou, Qiu Ye, you have been practicing in the mountains. This time, you are going down the mountain for training. It is just right for you to experience the customs and practices of the mortal world."
Looking at Huang Wei's embarrassed look, Qiu Ye curled up the corners of his mouth.
Jiang Qingyi walked straight forward: "Then hurry up."
"I'm fine."
Elder Huang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurried to catch up.
About an incense stick later, Huang Wei and the other two appeared in the sight of Zhou officials.
"Your Majesty, the Immortal Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect has arrived."
Yan Shanao dismounted, bowed his hands and bowed, saluted the emperor in the carriage and said.
The reason why he lowered his posture was mainly because he needed to put on a show in front of the civil and military officials.
"Yes." Xiao Mo nodded in the carriage, "Then let's welcome the Immortal Master."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Yan Shanao stood up and walked quickly towards the elder of Wanjian Sect with all the civil and military officials.
According to the etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty, the prime minister and all the officials were the ones who came to welcome the guests.
Then the emperor got out of the car and met him.
"Your humble servant greets Elder Huang." Yan Shanao stepped forward and bowed quickly. His flattering look made the other officials feel uncomfortable.
It seemed as if Elder Huang was the emperor of the Zhou Kingdom, and Yan Shanao was like a dog wagging its tail in front of Elder Huang.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, are so polite." Elder Huang smiled and helped him up. "I'm a little late, please don't be offended, Prime Minister."
"How dare I! Elder Huang doesn't despise the small size of our Zhou Kingdom Temple. It's a blessing for our Zhou Kingdom." Yan Shanao smiled and then noticed the two women behind Elder Huang. "Who are these two fairies?"
"Oh, this is my inner disciple from the Wanjian Sect. He came down the mountain to train and happened to come with me to the mortal world." Elder Huang explained naturally, "Where is His Majesty?"
"His Majesty has come in person to greet the elders. Elder Huang, please come this way." Yan Shanao hurriedly took Elder Huang to the dragon chariot.
As they approached,
Several palace maids opened the curtains and, with the help of Wei Xun,
Xiao Mo walked out slowly.
Jiang Qingyi, who was originally careless, was still thinking about asking Zhou Guo to find the person she wanted.
But when she saw the emperor walking towards her, her pupils suddenly shrank.
