Chapter 508 The Wanfa Conference Begins (4000 words, two in one)

"Brother Xu, it's time for us to set off, Brother Xu."

The residence of the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Shengsheng came to Xu Ming's side and pushed him gently.

Xu Ming slowly opened his eyes and saw Shengsheng's delicate little face.

The pair of big eyes blinked at Xu Ming.

"Um."

Xu Ming climbed up from the bed and yawned.

"Shengsheng, please go out for a while. I'll change my clothes."

"Shengsheng, help Brother Xu change his clothes." Shengsheng looked at Xu Ming with blinking eyes, "Shengsheng is grown up now, and can be Brother Xu's maid."

Xu Ming smiled and said, "Why are you my maid? I don't need a maid to serve me. Besides, you are my sister, not a superior-subordinate relationship."

“But Brother Xu, I heard from Sister Chunyan that men must have someone to take care of them.

Besides, Brother Xu is so busy. If I can take care of Brother Xu, Brother Xu will be able to free up more time.

Don't worry, Brother Xu. During this period of time, I have learned a lot about the rules of a maid from Sister Chunyan.

I have learned a lot and I will definitely be able to help you better than you, brother."

Xu Ming glanced at Shengsheng.

Shengsheng's eyes looked very nervous, and her face even looked a little pale, as if she was worried that Xu Ming would refuse.

"Okay." Xu Ming smiled and did not refuse.

Xu Ming knew that Shengsheng was still blaming himself for what happened before, so he always wanted to make it up to himself.

But Shengsheng didn't know what she could do for me.

Because I really don’t lack anything at the moment.

Then it is possible that during this period, when Shengsheng was with Sister Chunyan, I don’t know what Sister Chunyan said to Shengsheng, which made Shengsheng come up with this idea.

That's why Shengsheng wanted to be a maid.

In fact, in Xu Ming's opinion, this is completely unnecessary.

I really didn't blame Shengsheng. What happened at that time was not Shengsheng's responsibility at all. It was just another side of Shengsheng.

As long as Shengsheng can stabilize her sanity in the days to come, that will make her most gratified.

But since you insist on it, I can't say anything.

If I agree to her, it will make her feel better.

Moreover, the imperial palace and the Xu family always wanted to send a maid to her, but she always refused.

It is always said that it is not against the rules for an official like the Jinyiwei Commander to not have a maid to take care of him.

Now it seems that it is not impossible for Xu Ming to ask Shengsheng to take care of him.

Shengsheng's current mentality is almost the same as that of an adult, except that he still lacks some worldly common sense, but I can teach him these slowly.

Then I was also worried about Shengsheng's unstable condition, so I really needed to keep an eye on her at all times.

Of course, in Xu Ming's heart, Shengsheng is not his maid, but his secretary.

Moreover, Xu Ming can guarantee that this secretary will never betray him.

After hearing Brother Xu's agreement, Shengsheng's eyes suddenly lit up, as if in Shengsheng's heart, being able to be Xu Ming's maid was a very happy thing.

"Brother Xu, please don't disbelieve me. I have really learned a lot from Sister Chunyan in these days. I can definitely take care of you, Brother Xu." Shengsheng looked at Xu Ming with joy, then her cheeks slightly blushed and she called softly.

"For example?" Xu Ming said with a smile.

"For example...for example..." Shengsheng thought for a while, her cheeks flushed, and she called softly, "Mr. Xu"

Hearing the voice calling him "Master Xu", Xu Ming couldn't help but shiver, feeling numb all over.

This feeling is like a girl from an island country calling you "Ouni-chan" in a coquettish voice.

"Ahem." Xu Ming coughed a few times and straightened his expression. "Shengsheng, you should just call me Brother Xu. You don't have to call me 'Young Master'."

"Okay." A hint of disappointment flashed across Shengsheng's eyes.

Shengsheng thought that calling Brother Xu "Young Master" sounded pretty nice. Shengsheng took the blue shirt from the hanger and said, "I'll help Brother Xu get dressed."

Xu Ming stood up and Shengsheng helped Xu Ming put on his clothes bit by bit.

Shengsheng dressed very carefully, fearing that there were any details that were not properly dressed. Although Shengsheng was a little unfamiliar with dressing and not very skilled, she did help Xu Ming dress neatly.

It is obvious from the look that Shengsheng has been learning very seriously from Chunyan these days.

Xu Ming washed up with Shengsheng's help and then had breakfast.

Being a maid seems to be a real thing.

"It seems like you have learned a lot from Sister Chunyan during this period." Xu Ming said with a smile.

"Of course." Shen Shengsheng said with curved eyes, "Shengsheng has been following Sister Chunyan to learn how to take care of Madam Wang."

Xu Ming nodded and put down his bowl and chopsticks: "Let's go, we should go to the Wanfa Conference."

"yes."

He bowed and hurried to help Xu Ming prepare the carriage.

When Xu Ming walked out of the courtyard, the carriage was already ready.

Xu Ming sat in the carriage and closed his eyes to rest, while Shengsheng sat next to Xu Ming, blinking his big eyes at him.

After waking up this time, Shengsheng discovered something.

That is, I never thought Brother Xu was that good-looking before.

But when I grew up, I found that Brother Xu was really handsome.

Um.

To be more beautiful than other men.

Not long after, Xu Ming and Shen Shengsheng arrived at the gate of the palace.

"Shengsheng, you can go back first. The Wanfa Conference will be held until this time tomorrow. You can just come and pick me up."

Shengsheng is not allowed to enter the palace, otherwise she will feel very uncomfortable, and outsiders are also not allowed to enter the palace.

"Okay, Brother Xu." Shengsheng nodded, then drove away reluctantly.

Xu Ming walked into the palace, and was received by a palace maid who led him to the location of the Wanfa Conference.

All officials above the fifth rank and above must participate in this Wanfa Conference.

As for the location of the Wanfa Conference, it was naturally the open space in the north hall of the imperial palace. All previous Wanfa Conferences were held in that place, and this time was no exception.

Along the way, when civil and military officials saw Xu Ming, they all greeted him with a very respectful look, for fear of leaving a bad impression on Xu Ming.

After all, the flying fish suit Xu Ming was wearing was too conspicuous.

You never know when a group of people wearing such clothes will rush into your house, arrest you, and ransack your house.

Not long after, Xu Ming met Zhao Feiyan, Yu Pingan, Li Han and others.

They were all qualified to enter and had been waiting for Xu Ming on the route leading to the Wanfa Conference.

The others naturally stood behind Xu Ming. The civil and military officials looked at their attire and felt awe-inspiring.

Everyone knows that after Xu Ming endured the three punches from Daguozhu last time, a new force has been formed.

"Greetings, Commander."

Just as Xu Ming and his group were moving forward, an old man's voice rang out.

Xu Ming turned around and saw the remnant of King Shan - the first prime minister of Wu State, Liu Feng, and the princess of Chu State, Tang Ningzhi, walking towards him.

"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess, and greetings to Mr. Liu." Xu Ming bowed.

"Is Lord Xu in good health?" Liu Feng asked, and there seemed to be some worry in his eyes, as if an old man in the village was concerned about him.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Ming is in good health." Xu Ming said with a smile.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

After more than ten days of recuperation, although Xu Ming's body cannot be said to have recovered to its peak, it has indeed almost recovered.

"That's good." Liu Feng nodded and stroked his beard. "I'm afraid this Wanfa Conference will be very lively."

Xu Ming's mind was focused, but his expression was still very calm: "The Ten Thousand Dharma Conference, with all the sects coming to pay homage, is naturally going to be lively. Mr. Liu, Her Royal Highness, please come this way."

"Please." Liu Feng and Tang Ningzhi walked forward.

Not long after, Xu Ming arrived at the venue of the Wanfa Conference.

Most of the officials have already arrived.

Wu Yanhan also sat down in his seat.

Xu Ming was seated next to Wu Yanhan, and the others were seated in order of rank. If they had the same rank, they would sit according to the number of strokes in their names, with those with fewer strokes sitting in the front.

The officials of Wu State were talking and laughing, and did not take this Wanfa Conference seriously.

Mainly because they are used to it.

The Wanfa Conference is held every four years, and every year it goes very smoothly. Basically, everyone just eats and chats together.

The leaders of these sects were also very calm, but some of them seemed very impatient, and their impatience was directly shown on their faces.

The reason these clans were impatient was mostly because Emperor Wu disrupted their plans a year in advance.

Not to mention what happened before, even though it was said that the sect leader had to come in person, everyone turned a blind eye and just sent a high-ranking sect leader, and no one pursued the matter.

But this time, Emperor Wu emphasized that the clan leader must come and must not be absent without absolute reason.

This made them very upset, but they were too embarrassed to break off relations with Emperor Wu.

After another stick of incense, almost everyone had arrived at the large square and sat down. The palace maids also began to come forward and pour wine for the guests.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

As the bell sounded throughout the palace.

Everyone stopped talking.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

Wei Xungong’s duck-voiced shout was heard.

Emperor Wu walked into the square.

Everyone stood up and shouted in unison: "Welcome, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Wu continued to walk forward.

After walking to the platform, Emperor Wu turned around and looked at the audience.

The intimidating look without anger made many people feel frightened. Although they were all cultivators with a lifespan of thousands of years, this human emperor was in charge of the destiny of the mountains and rivers.

"I am very glad that the leaders of all sects and schools can come to participate in this Wanfa Conference. I hope that you can happily exchange your skills and make progress together." Emperor Wu said with the usual polite words, "My dear ministers, please take a seat, leaders of all sects."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone sat down slowly.

Soon, the palace maids came forward singing and dancing, and dishes were served one after another.

Everyone was enjoying the dance and drinking, no one knew what would happen today, they just thought that today was just like all the previous Wanfa Conferences.

Xu Ming and Wu Yanhan looked at each other, and neither of them said anything.

They all knew that this was just the calm before the storm. Something big would definitely happen today, and this event would greatly affect the destiny of the Wu State.

When half of the wine had been drunk and all the civil and military officials as well as the leaders of various sects were enjoying their meal and drink, Emperor Wu stood up.

As Emperor Wu stood up, everyone's eyes naturally turned to look in his direction.

Emperor Wu raised the wine glass in his hand and said to everyone: "Today's Wanfa Conference is a grand event for our dynasty and sect. Over the past few days, our Wu Kingdom and sect have supported and helped each other, which led to today."

The heads of all the sects stood up and raised their glasses to Emperor Wu: "Your Majesty, you are too kind. The fact that Wu State was able to become one of the top ten dynasties of the human race in such a short period of time is the result of the diligent efforts of the emperors of Wu State, especially Your Majesty!"

Another sect leader stood up and said to Emperor Wu: "The Wu Kingdom's army is famous throughout the world. Who doesn't know it?"

Another sect leader stood up and said to Emperor Wu: "Now the four seas are subject to your majesty. The demon country in the southern border dares not act rashly after hearing the name of Wu Kingdom. The King of Beiliang even terrorizes the barbarians in the northern wilderness and kills people everywhere on the battlefield! Wu Kingdom is prosperous!"

The leaders of each sect stood up and spoke well.

It seems that they are submissive and respectful to the Wu State.

But in fact, Xu Ming and Wu Yanhan didn’t take these people’s kind words to heart at all.

These guys are all old foxes who are hundreds or thousands of years old.

They said these good words to the monarch of Wu State, and they also said the same good words to other monarchs in this land.

Anyway, it doesn’t cost money to say nice things.

For these sect leaders, if the dynasty is strong, they will respect each other like husband and wife.

But if the dynasty is no longer strong, then that would be a shame.

These sects will start to snatch people away, or support a new dynasty, or even replace the previous one and use it as their puppet.

In this way, one can avoid the influence of the dynasty's fortune and gain the benefits of the dynasty.

"My fellow patriarchs, you are flattering me. The fact that our Wu Kingdom is what it is today is not due to my efforts, but the result of the civil and military officials working wholeheartedly for the people and your efforts in exorcising demons and maintaining the stability of Wu Kingdom."

Emperor Wu also spoke nice words to them.

Hearing these good words, the leaders of these sects felt very comfortable and enjoyed it very much.

But in the next moment, the words of Emperor Wu made all the sect leaders stunned.

"However, I still feel that the relationship between the various sects and our Wu Kingdom is not in the best state."
