Chapter 298: I really don't know how to appreciate my blessings
Shen Shengsheng did not follow Xu Ming into the palace.
Shengsheng's bloodline is really special.
The magic array arranged in the imperial palace is definitely of a level not lower than the protective array in the holy forbidden land. The imperial palace is the dragon eye of the fortune of the Wu Kingdom.
The vast majority of demons and monsters are considered enemies.
Xu Ming was worried that Shengsheng would be killed by the palace's formation as soon as he stepped into the palace.
When arriving at the palace, maids would search the emperor and leave their storage bags there to prevent anyone from suddenly attacking them while they were in the audience.
But this time it didn't happen.
Needless to say, this must have been deliberately explained by Emperor Wu, in order to emphasize that "I trust you 100%". We are the king and the subject, and we are honest with each other! Don't mention it.
This kind of action can indeed buy favor.
If it were those passionate young people, they would have long wanted to "sacrifice their lives and shed their blood for Emperor Wu, and a gentleman would die for his friend."
But for Xu Ming, this effect is really average.
Because Xu Ming did not have the awareness of "selling it to the imperial family".
Moreover, the relationship between the emperor and his subjects in feudal society was even less important to Xu Ming.
The palace maid brought Xu Ming and Wu Yanhan to the entrance of Qingxin Palace.
Eunuch Wei was already waiting at the gate of Qingxin Palace.
"Oh, Your Highness Princess, Lords Civil and Military, I have finally welcomed you two." Wei Xun hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.
"Eunuch Wei." Xu Ming and Wu Yanhan saluted and called out.
"Oh, oh, oh, you two don't have to be so polite. I can't stand it." Wei Xun turned sideways and avoided the greetings from Xu Ming and Wu Yanhan. "Please come in. His Majesty is already waiting."
"OK."
Xu Ming and Wu Yanhan nodded. Wei Xun opened the door of Qingxin Palace. After Xu Ming and Wu Yanhan walked in, Wei Xun closed it himself.
"Your servant Xu Ming/your son Yan Han, pays respects to your majesty/father."
Walking into the Qingxin Palace and looking at Emperor Wu who was sitting in the front row, Xu Ming and Wu Yanhan shouted in unison.
"Hahahaha, no need to be so polite. We are all family, why should we be so polite?"
Emperor Wu stood up, walked towards Xu Ming and his daughter, and helped them up.
Emperor Wu looked at Xu Ming carefully, like an elder who was proud of his younger generation, and patted Xu Ming on the shoulder: "Not bad, not bad, Xu Ming, you didn't disappoint me!
Originally, I thought that you were extremely talented in martial arts and literary talent.
As a result, you were able to practice and even became a sword cultivator! Not only that, you even survived ten thunder tribulations that no one had ever experienced before or since!
I am really happy for you! It is a blessing for our country to have a talent like you! It is the blessing of our ancestors!"
"Your Majesty, thank you for the compliment." Xu Ming bowed and saluted, without any arrogance. "I am able to achieve what I have today thanks to your Majesty's training. I was able to get the opportunity to become a sword cultivator during my training, which was also entirely due to your Majesty's dragon luck. If it weren't for your Majesty, how could I be here?"
"." Hearing Xu Ming say these cheesy words, Wu Yanhan got goosebumps.
Why haven’t I seen you being so grateful to my father before?
You are so fake.
To be honest, Wu Yanhan now feels that it is a pity that this guy does not serve as an official in the court.
Xu Ming is very thick-skinned, very smooth-talking, and very good at flattering people. He is indeed a good material for being an official.
"Hahahaha. Xu Ming, you are too modest. Too modest." Emperor Wu laughed. It seemed that Xu Ming's flattery really pleased the Emperor.
Emperor Wu held Xu Ming with one hand and his daughter with the other: "Come on, come on, stop standing and take a seat. It's already noon. I'm sure you two must be hungry. Let's eat together."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xu Ming and Wu Yanhan exchanged pleasantries and sat on either side of Emperor Wu.
This table is just a normal square table. It is not very big and is just like the one an ordinary family would use for dining together.
It can be seen that Emperor Wu did this on purpose, just to show his kindness to himself, and the smaller the table, the closer the two sides would be.
At the invitation of Emperor Wu, Xu Ming and Wu Yanhan ate their meal slowly and carefully.
These dishes are all made from ingredients rich in spiritual power.
For example, this steamed sea bass is not an ordinary sea bass, but a sea bass, which is very valuable.
The dishes on this table alone are probably worth thousands of taels of gold.
And even if you have thousands of pieces of gold, you may not be able to buy all the dishes on this table.
The three of them ate and chatted.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Basically, Emperor Wu asked the questions, and then Xu Ming and Wu Yanhan answered them.
The questions were basically just about some interesting things that happened to Xu Ming during his travels over the past year, and did not involve anything important.
As for what kind of opportunity Xu Ming got that led him to embark on the path of cultivation, Emperor Wu did not ask.
After all, everyone has their own secrets, and when it comes to an opportunity like Xu Ming's, he certainly can't ask too many questions.
The meal was actually very harmonious, and Xu Ming felt that Emperor Wu simply wanted to develop some feelings with him.
In fact, Emperor Wu also wanted to reward Xu Ming.
But Xu Ming only survived the thunder tribulation and did not accomplish any meritorious service, so Emperor Wu thought about it and decided to let it go.
We are about to go to the Rootless Secret Realm. After Xu Ming comes out, we will reward him.
After lunch, Emperor Wu took Xu Ming and Wu Yanhan to go hunting.
Xu Ming and Wu Yanhan did not refuse either.
"How about the three of us compete with each other, without using any other means, just relying on the bows and arrows in our hands to see who can kill more prey?" Emperor Wu suggested.
Now that Emperor Wu has made such a proposal, can Xu Ming and Wu Yanhan still refuse?
It's like your boss asks you if you want to go to KTV together in the evening, can you say your throat hurts? Your boss gives you a cigarette, can you say "No, Huazi, I have a cough"?
So, Xu Ming and Wu Yanhan each rode on a horse and went hunting with ordinary bows and arrows.
After Xu Ming and Wu Yanhan left, Emperor Wu's eyes slightly widened, and he shouted to the empty surroundings: "Someone come."
The next moment, a dozen veiled people surrounded Emperor Wu.
"Do as I told you before." Emperor Wu said to the crowd. "No questions asked!"
"yes!"
Everyone nodded and disappeared in front of Emperor Wu in an instant.
"My daughter is one of the top ten beauties on the list, and she has a martial arts body, but she still has to resort to such means."
As he spoke, Emperor Wu stared ahead and couldn't help but sigh.
"Xu Ming is a kid who really doesn't know how to appreciate the blessings he has."
