Chapter 96 The Situation Is Not Right, Even the Little Things Are Not Working (Please Subscribe) (1/2)
King Nanming silently looked at the handsome and elegant Prince Zhenguo not far away.
His calm face twitched slightly, and the jade beads in his hand slowly turned.
Then, King Nanming looked at the beautiful face of Princess Nanming, whose demeanor and manners seemed as charming as an oiran. Her noble aura was still the same, and it blended well with her charming face.
Very beautiful.
But King Nanming just felt that he couldn't appreciate it.
He moved his lips a few times, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Silently sideways, he took a few steps back.
He pulled out the dagger that Princess Nanming had stabbed into his waist.
After all, he didn't dare to do anything to Princess Nanming, the Demon King's clone with a weird temper.
At most, he could only act as a desktop cleaning master like an incompetent and furious person.
Nanming Wang took a deep breath, but he still didn't dare to believe that the Demon Emperor's clone would abandon him. They stood together, and the Demon Emperor would not do that.
But the current situation and the strange temperament of the Demon Emperor's clone forced Nanming Wang to re-examine the strange situation in front of him.
He swept across the Great Zhou Emperor and Cheng Zhihai in the sky, and returned his gaze to the son of the Duke of Zhenguo.
Seeing the brilliant smile of the son of the Duke of Zhenguo, Nanming Wang felt upset.
Thinking of it, the previous exposure of the demon clan's smuggling port was the work of the son of the Duke of Zhenguo. Now this scene at the royal ceremony, could it also be the work of the son of the Duke of Zhenguo?
Nanming Wang couldn't help thinking in his heart, but he didn't understand how the son of the Duke of Zhenguo discovered his plan.
Nanming Wang told him?
It shouldn't be.
If it was the Queen of Nanming who told him this time, it would be fine.
But last time, when the prince of the state found the smuggling port of the demon race, the Princess of Nanming had not yet contacted the prince of the state, at least under his sight, and had not contacted him openly.
Think about the previous Da Zhou Da Wei martial arts competition, which was also disrupted by the prince of the state.
He himself did not hesitate to expose Qiu Zhiju, the dean of the Da Zhou martial arts academy who had been hiding for many years and whose cultivation strength reached the ninth level. His purpose was to kill the students in the martial arts competition, disrupt the relationship between Da Wei and Da Zhou, and make the two countries turn against each other and the outbreak of war would be the best.
But what was the result?
Qiu Zhiju died tragically.
His plan was aborted.
Thinking about it again, Bai Shuxuan failed to seduce Cheng Guang before, and the assassination operation not only failed, but also lost a group of subordinates, among whom there was even a strong man with the cultivation strength of the eighth level king.
It can be said to be a blood loss.
King Nanming didn't know why, but he felt that his every move seemed to be noticed by the prince of the Duke of Zhenguo in advance. Every step he took made his plan aborted.
King Nanming slowly turned the jade bead in his hand, looked at the prince of the Duke of Zhenguo not far away, patiently controlled his emotions, and asked:
"Did you direct this play today?"
Cheng Guang spread his hands, "It's not me, but does it matter?"
King Nanming laughed, "It really doesn't matter."
At this time, the Emperor of the Great Zhou and Cheng Zhihai, who were standing in the air, slowly walked down from the sky and landed not far from King Nanming.
Shenyue Mountain, which was originally slightly turbulent, suddenly became silent when the Emperor of the Great Zhou appeared, and the turmoil was instantly calmed down.
Some rebellious officials were still struggling, but when they saw the figure of the Emperor of the Great Zhou appear, they instantly gave up resistance with pale faces.
As long as the Emperor of the Great Zhou is there, the Great Zhou will not be in chaos.
Even if they miss the prince, they can't stir up any storms under such circumstances.
At the same time, the prime minister of the court, who had just closed his eyes to rest, except for the Minister of Rites, the other five ministers did not pretend to be dead at this time.
They were glad that they did not rush into it and just supported the King of Nanming to ascend the throne. Otherwise, they really didn't know what would happen.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?"
"Your Majesty, the demon emperor suddenly attacked, and we didn't react."
"Fortunately, your majesty is fine now. Otherwise, I would have fought to the death with the demon emperor."
"Now that the White Tiger Demon Emperor has died tragically, it is really gratifying. He dared to attack your majesty, and he deserved this end!"
The court officials gathered around, bowed respectfully, and asked about the emperor's health and expressed their loyalty.
The cold and majestic face of the emperor of the Great Zhou did not change at all after listening to the words of the court officials. He just glanced at the appearance of the court officials, and then set his eyes on the rebel officials.
The leader was Wen Shouren, the Minister of Rites. He had a very high level of cultivation. Before this, the Golden Lamp Constables could not do anything to him.
When the Great Zhou Emperor appeared, Wen Shouren, the Minister of Rites, knelt down on the ground happily, and pulled his son Wen Qinghe, who was still a little confused, to kneel down with him.
Wen Qinghe now felt as if he was dreaming. First, he said that the Great Zhou Emperor was dead, and his father decisively surrendered to the King of Nanming, supported the King of Nanming to ascend the throne, and got the merit of following the dragon, and now the emperor is alive again.
He couldn't figure out what was going on in front of him for a while.
He simply lay down like a salted fish.
He dared not resist at all.
When Wen Shouren, the Minister of Rites, noticed that the Great Zhou Emperor's eyes fell on him, tears flowed on his wrinkled old face, his lips trembled, and he cried out.
"Your Majesty, I am really happy to see that Your Majesty is fine."
The Great Zhou Emperor said without comment: "Happy?"
"Not disappointed?"
Wen Shouren hurriedly wailed: "How dare I, everything just now was forced by the situation. When I saw that the demon emperor suddenly attacked Your Majesty, my heart was broken immediately. Your Majesty, don't you know..."
Wen Shouren wanted to cry and complain, but the Great Zhou Emperor had no intention of listening to his nonsense. He just frowned slightly and looked at Cheng Zhihai on the side.
"Is he related to missing the prince?"
Cheng Zhihai nodded slightly after hearing the words of the Great Zhou Emperor.
The Great Zhou Emperor nodded indifferently, looking at the kneeling rebellious officials, many of whom were familiar faces. He was silent for a while and said:
"Then behead them. Behead all of them."
After the Great Zhou Emperor finished speaking, the rebellious officials kneeling on the ground were frightened and cold.
They didn't expect that the Great Zhou Emperor would be so cruel as to kill all of them. They occupied a large part of the power of the court, and many aristocratic families were involved behind them.
Many officials trembled and wanted to beg for mercy, but the police officer of the Lighting Division beside them did not give them a chance to beg for mercy.
If the Great Zhou Emperor had not suddenly appeared, they would have fallen directly to the ground, and I am afraid that they would have become fresh corpses by now.
He immediately swung his knife down, and a large number of heads fell to the ground.
Blood stained the dust, and the cold shivered like a blade.
A large number of officials around him were killed, and Wen Shouren, the leader, was like a lost soul, his body trembled a few times, and laughed miserably. His originally upright body was instantly hunched a little, and he begged.
"Your Majesty, I, the old minister, will die, but my son, my son knows nothing."
"Can you ask Your Majesty to spare my son's life."
The Great Zhou Emperor did not answer.
Wen Shouren already understood what the Great Zhou Emperor meant. He smiled bitterly, looking at his son who was still ignorant beside him, with a face full of regret and self-blame.
A flash of light passed by, and Wen Shouren, one of the six ministers of the Ministry of Rites, who stood at the top of the dynasty's power, fell in a pool of blood.
Wen Qinghe looked dazed, as if he had not yet reacted. The next moment, he also felt a tingling pain, widened his eyes, and fell beside Wen Shouren.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
The rebellious officials were beheaded on the spot, and the originally sacred Shenyue Mountain seemed to have become an execution ground at this time.
Even officials who did not rebel could not help but feel a strong chill in this atmosphere and shivered. In this case, they immediately became a turtle.
Dare not say a word.
The Great Zhou Emperor looked at the Nanming King on the side.
Nanming Wang showed a bit of anxiety and concern on his face, and said: "Your Majesty, I'm glad you're okay. I just thought your Majesty had... that's why..."
"I did everything wrong."
The Great Zhou Emperor listened to Nanming Wang's words indifferently, and his majestic eyes swept over Nanming Wang's body, "For so many years, I have been kept in the dark by you. My brother is really good at tricks."
Nanming Wang slowly turned the jade bead in his hand, and the speed of the jade bead became slightly faster. The anxiety and concern on his face faded slightly, and was replaced by a bit of confusion.
"What does your majesty mean by this?"
Nanming Wang had no choice at this time.
He could only gamble that Nanming Wangfei, the devil emperor, would not betray him, and he was also betting that the Great Zhou Emperor still had a family affection for him, the Nanming Wang.
Whether he was the Nanming Wang or the prince, he was the only brother left by the Great Zhou Emperor.
In the eyes of the King of Nanming, according to the nature of the Great Zhou Emperor who values family affection so much, even if he can see that he misses the prince, as long as he is wearing the skin of the King of Nanming, he will not have the heart to do it.
The Great Zhou Emperor looked at the King of Nanming indifferently.
At this time, the county officials of the court, after hearing the words of the Great Zhou Emperor, could not help but look at the King of Nanming, with uncertain faces.
"From what your majesty said, it seems that the King of Nanming really misses the prince."
"I don't know how the Prince of Missing changed his appearance to the King of Nanming."
"By the way, if the real identity of the King of Nanming is the Prince of Missing, then what about the real King of Nanming..."
The court officials suddenly realized that the King of Nanming might have died while discussing.
When the court officials were discussing, the Great Zhou Emperor had obviously realized this a long time ago. He looked at the appearance of the King of Nanming with a majestic and cold face, and a trace of grief appeared in his eyes, but he quickly restrained it.
The Great Zhou Emperor cast his eyes on Cheng Zhihai standing aside, "Can you change his appearance back?"
Cheng Zhihai nodded and replied, "Yes."
After that, Cheng Zhihai cast his eyes on Cheng Guang, his face full of pride and pride, and winked.
"Guang'er."
The Great Zhou Emperor noticed Cheng Zhihai's actions, and his expression was slightly startled. He didn't understand why Cheng Zhihai suddenly called Cheng Guang, the son of the Duke of Zhenguo.
The officials didn't quite understand either, and were a little confused.
When the King of Nanming heard Cheng Zhihai call Cheng Guang, his face darkened slightly, and he slowly tightened the jade beads in his hand, glanced at Cheng Guang, the son of the Duke of Zhenguo, and then looked at the Princess of Nanming beside him.
He already had a bad premonition in his heart.
Based on the temper of the Princess of Nanming facing Cheng Guang just now, coupled with Cheng Zhihai's action of calling Cheng Guang at this time.
No matter how stupid he was, he understood that the situation in front of him was very different from what he expected.
Sure enough, the next moment, under the gaze of Emperor Yu Da Zhou and all the officials of the court, the prince of Zhenguo came to the Princess of Nanming beside him and took off the jade pendant from her neck.
Princess of Nanming may have been tangled on her face, but she did not resist at all, just sighed helplessly at the King of Nanming.
Although she was the incarnation of the Demon Emperor, she had a certain degree of independent consciousness. In her current situation, let alone a change in personality, even if she was slightly infected with something dirty, with the character of the Demon Emperor, it would be impossible for her to merge back into the body of the original body.
Now the consciousness of the original body has not yet descended.
She can still live a little longer.
If the consciousness of the original body descends, she will probably die.
Whether to help the King of Nanming or not, it doesn't make much difference.
On the contrary, if she helped the prince of the Duke of Zhenguo, at least she could live a little longer before the consciousness of the original body descended. If she didn't help the prince of the Duke of Zhenguo, she would probably be dead now.
The Nanming Princess still calculated this clearly.
After Cheng Guang took the jade pendant off the delicate body of the Nanming Princess, at that moment.
The originally plain and slightly delicate pendant suddenly emitted a faint light.
Although the light was not dazzling, it made people feel a deep sense of weirdness.
At the same time, the Nanming King felt as if his body had shed a layer of skin, and it seemed that countless invisible hands were pressing his body.
His skin, which was originally as smooth and white as jade, began to lose moisture, becoming dry and wrinkled, and his eyes, which were originally majestic and full of nobility, also became turbid and blurred.
The Nanming King noticed his changes, and there was no surprise.
He hugged his black hair, which gradually changed from black to gray, like falling snow in the severe winter, gradually fading the color.
His body began to shrink, his bones became more and more prominent, his muscles gradually withered, his face became thinner and thinner, his eyes were sunken, and his cheeks collapsed.
He had already become an old man with one foot almost on the coffin.
The officials of the court looked at this almost weird scene, and they couldn't help but take a deep breath and look shocked.
The old face of Empress Dowager Li changed, her eyes were slightly condensed, and her thin, bony fingers tightly grasped the cane, and then slowly loosened.
As she breathed a sigh of relief, her originally extremely upright figure slowly became hunched.
The Emperor of the Great Zhou looked at the King of Nanming with an indifferent and majestic look, and saw that the King of Nanming gradually changed his face to that of Prince Huai Nian, even though he had already prepared himself mentally.
But when this scene happened, the Emperor of the Great Zhou still trembled slightly, and slowly clenched his hands.
Thinking of it, all the good he had done to the King of Nanming over the years fell on Prince Huai Nian.
Apart from the grief in his heart, there was more shame.
The shame of being treated as a clown by Prince Huai Nian for so many years!
At this time, the King of Nanming, or Prince Huai Nian, although his face and figure became old, his body was still upright, standing calmly, without much panic.
He looked at his pale white hair, cast his eyes on the prince of Zhenguo, and the Demon Emperor who had abandoned him for some reason, then laughed and shook his head.
"This time, I lost again."
The Great Zhou Emperor looked at Prince Huai Nian, suppressed his emotions, and replied indifferently: "Brother, when have you ever won."
"You could escape back then, but you can't escape today."
As the Great Zhou Emperor spoke, he raised a finger, and a bright golden light bloomed between his fingers.
The vast aura of the Yuanshen, like a tide, surged from his body and spread.
The Great Zhou Emperor did not want to have too much communication with the current Prince Huai Nian.
If Prince Huai Nian was wearing the face of the King of Nanming, he would not be willing to do it, but facing this Prince Huai Nian, he could.
Prince Huai Nian should have died back then.
Prince Huai Nian stared at the Great Zhou Emperor with his slightly old eyes, and looked at the confident look of the Great Zhou Emperor now, and smiled again.
"Escape?"
"Why should I escape?"
"I don't care about my reputation, I don't care what the world thinks of me, but you do."
"Wu Shang, you will eventually have to stain your hands with blood and endure the infamy. You took my throne, and I am unwilling to do so. Even if I kill your princes and princesses, the queen mother, and all the royal relatives who support you, I will not be wrong."
"But if you kill me, when you return to the underworld, how can you face your ancestors?"
The Great Zhou Emperor was indifferent. Prince Huai Nian was right. Prince Huai Nian was the orthodox one.
And even if he was recognized by the queen mother, the Duke of Zhenguo, and the people of the Great Zhou, it was not in line with the ancient system.
But, what does it matter?
He will prove that he is a worthy emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Even if he is not the eldest son, he is still a competent emperor.
"Brother, you can go on your way. I will not bother you to worry about my affairs."
The Great Zhou Emperor waved his hand, and the vast Yuanshen outlined a series of gods in the air. The magical power was displayed, and the gods were scattered with golden light. The golden light turned into a sharp sword light and stabbed towards Prince Huai Nian.
Facing the attack of the Great Zhou Emperor, Prince Huai Nian paused the jade beads in his hand, and then waved his palm, and the power of the Yuanshen surged out. The next moment, it seemed that countless tongues of fire were gushing out from his palm.
Countless rays of primordial power like the true fire of the sun outline a god bathed in a sea of fire, with countless tongues of fire spraying from everywhere on his body.
boom! ! !
The two hand over.
An extremely scorching light erupted, and many people could no longer see the surrounding scenery.
Cheng Zhihai used his vitality at the right time to protect Cheng Guang and the royal family behind him.
Cheng Guang looked at the battle between the Emperor of Zhou and the crown prince.
I just felt a roar coming from time to time in my ears.
There was a white light in front of my eyes.
He couldn't see clearly the battle between the Emperor of Zhou and the crown prince.
Time passed, and under this white light, time seemed to have lost its meaning.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
Only then did the world regain its color.
The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty stood alone in the empty space, feeling lost.
In front of him, the prince's chest was stained with blood, his hair was messy, and his robes could still be kept intact, but the life in his body was rapidly losing.
He fell to the ground helplessly, spitting out a mouthful of blood and looking at the sky.
"I'm not willing to give in."
"I am the emperor of Zhou Dynasty, and I am really unwilling to do so."
He murmured, and relaxed his grip on Yuzhu.
His head hung weakly, and his gray hair hung down around his face, adding an extra touch of desolation.
A beam of light rose from the missing prince, a strange phenomenon was born, the colors changed, and the heaven and earth were like weeping blood.
The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty was speechless.
The officials of the imperial court did not dare to say anything more and knelt on the ground respectfully. The world was silent.
After decades of hiding and missing the prince, all his plans came to nothing.
At this time, he finally died.
The Great Zhou Dynasty may be able to completely settle down in the future.
The Emperor of Zhou waved his hand and missed the prince's corpse. The remaining soul seemed to be broken into crystals, turning into spots of light and completely dissipating.
Missing the prince is now completely dead.
Remembering that the prince had escaped once, the Emperor of Zhou would not make the same mistake and leave any consequences.
After dispersing the missing prince's body, Emperor Zhou silently raised his eyes and glanced at the majestic and tall temple behind him, stood up and walked towards the palace.
The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty set out first. Empress Dowager Li, Wu Yuemei, Empress Wang, and all the concubines, princes and princesses also stood up silently and walked down the mountain.
A good royal ceremony, turned into this, has lost the interest it had at the beginning.
When Wu Yuemei passed by Cheng Guang's ear, she looked at Cheng Guang worriedly and examined his body.
"Guang'er, you weren't hurt just now, were you?"
Cheng Guang shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm fine."
When Wu Yuemei heard what Cheng Guang said, she breathed a sigh of relief and nodded helplessly between Cheng Guang's eyebrows.
"You, you, just be fine..."
Wu Yuemei said, suddenly noticing Princess Nanming next to Cheng Guang, her expression became complicated.
King Nanming missed the prince, which she really didn't expect at first.
Since King Nanming misses the prince, it is still unknown what the identity of Princess Nanming, his nominal sibling, is.
And just now I saw that he has an unusual relationship with his own Guang'er.
Wu Yuemei frowned slightly and didn't say much. She just asked Cheng Guang to go back home first. She had to go to the palace to accompany Queen Mother Li.
Queen Mother Li suffered a lot of stimulation today, and she had to stay with her.
Cheng Guang nodded in agreement, and Cheng Zhihai who was on the side also walked over at this time and looked at Princess Nanming. He knew the identity of Princess Nanming, she was a demon.
Cheng Guang told him before.
Although there is no ill intention towards this person from the Demon Clan at this time, we still don’t know what he will become in the future.
After he returns, he still has to think about how to deal with this demon.
According to his opinion, after this incident is over, the best thing to do is to directly kill Princess Nanming. Although it means killing the donkey to get rid of the trouble, he feels that there is no need to have any extra mercy for the demons.
But Cheng Guang told him not to do anything.
He didn't know the reason, but because of Cheng Guang's face, he could only give up.
"Guang'er, I will go to the palace later to help you ask for merit. You go home and rest."
With that said, Cheng Zhihai left slowly.
Cheng Zhihai and Wu Yuemei were going to the palace, so Cheng Guang took Princess Nanming back home first.
After it was over and the news got out.
There was a commotion in Kyoto.
A considerable uproar broke out everywhere.
They first heard that the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty had been assassinated by the Demon Emperor and had passed away. Then they heard that King Nanming was going to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor when the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty died. Then the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty and Cheng Zhihai killed the Demon Emperor and returned.
In the end, it was even more shocking to discover that King Nanming was actually the missing prince who had disappeared for many years.
Always plotting rebellion.
The previous assassination of the Duke of Zhenguo, the subsequent martial arts competition between the Great Zhou and the Great Wei, and the previous incident of smuggling the demon clan were all caused by King Nanming.
At this time, everyone was even more surprised to find out.
These things, in addition to being closely related to King Nanming, seemed to involve the presence of Prince Zhenguo.
All things are related to the prince of Zhenguo, or the prince of Zhenguo is involved in them.
Whether it was the martial arts competition between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Great Wei Dynasty, or the smuggling of the demon clan before, it seems that the Prince of Zhenguo also contributed a lot.
At the same time, some people with sharp intelligence were surprised to find that the identity of the Prince of Nanming in today's royal ceremony was that of the Prince of Huai Nian, and it seemed that it was the Prince of Zhenguo who personally exposed it.
The entire Lighting Department had long been prepared for today's events.
Doesn't this mean that the Prince of Huai Nian's plan had actually been seen through by the Prince of Zhenguo?
Even though the Prince of Huai Nian made a lot of noise, it did not cause any casualties.
At most, it was just a riot.
In Kyoto, there was a constant discussion about the mysterious Prince of Zhenguo.
…………
The Great Zhou Palace, the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
In the majestic and cold Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The Emperor of the Great Zhou sat on the dragon throne, looking indifferently at the officials below the stage.
The original officials and county officials, after experiencing a royal ceremony, directly reduced their number by more than one-tenth.
The people who were originally loyal to Prince Huai Nian, plus the people he secretly bribed over the years, have unknowingly occupied so many important positions in the court.
It is not difficult to imagine that if he was really attacked by the Demon Emperor today, the plan of Prince Huai Nian would really succeed.
The Great Zhou Emperor thought, tapping his fingers lightly on the armrest of the dragon throne, and his majestic eyes fell on Cheng Zhihai's face.
"Zhihai, thanks to you this time."
At that time, he was attacked by the White Tiger Demon Emperor, and his counterattack was broken by the White Tiger Demon Emperor. He immediately did not have much power to fight back. At that critical moment, Cheng Zhihai suddenly used the forbidden cage, used the strange treasure to isolate the world, and pulled the White Tiger Demon Emperor into the cage.
The Great Zhou Emperor was not only not injured, but also got a certain amount of breathing time.
The two worked together to kill the White Tiger Demon Emperor.
Even if the matter of missing the prince is not counted, killing a demon emperor can be regarded as a great achievement.
So the Emperor of the Great Zhou looked at Cheng Zhihai's face, and his majesty eased a little.
"The Lighting Department did a good job this time and prepared in advance. I promised you before that if I found out about Prince Huai Nian before the royal ceremony, I would not touch your Lighting Department. Now I promise you that if nothing serious happens in the future, the Lighting Department will always be in your hands."
The Emperor of the Great Zhou was well versed in the ways of the emperor.
He did not blame Cheng Zhihai for not informing him in advance.
It was obvious that the Lighting Department had already found out the whereabouts of Prince Huai Nian in advance, and it would have been fine if it had concealed it from the court officials, but it actually concealed it from him.
The Emperor of the Great Zhou could guess some of the reasons.
But I still felt helpless about Cheng Zhihai's behavior of not reporting the whereabouts of Prince Huai Nian and waiting until the royal ceremony to take action.
This really imagined me to be such an indecisive person.
The words of the Great Zhou Emperor fell into Cheng Zhihai's ears. Cheng Zhihai bowed respectfully and responded:
"Your Majesty, this time we were able to find Prince Huai Nian, all thanks to Guang'er. If it weren't for him, even I wouldn't be able to find Prince Huai Nian's whereabouts for a while."
"Oh?" When the Great Zhou Emperor heard Cheng Zhihai's words, his eyebrows raised slightly, his eyes showed surprise, and he became a little interested.
"It was Guang'er who found it again?"
"He has made many great achievements since he entered the Lighting Department recently."
"First it was the matter of the demon clan, and then it was today's matter."
"That's right."
After the Great Zhou Emperor finished speaking, all the officials in the court couldn't help but sigh. They didn't expect that Prince Huai Nian was actually found by the son of the Duke of Zhenguo.
Such a great achievement, if it fell on an ordinary person, would be enough to change his life's destiny.
Even if it fell on some high-ranking ministers, it would be a huge fortune.
Many officials were a little jealous of this achievement.
At the same time, many officials and ministers also knew that although this merit was great, it seemed mediocre when it fell on the son of the Duke of Zhenguo.
Even if the son of the Duke of Zhenguo did nothing in the future, he would still be the top dignitary in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he would not lack any resources or power.
The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty had not yet begun to reward Cheng Guang, but now he had reached the point where there was no more reward.
For a while, many officials were jealous.
Compared with envying the merits of the son of the Duke of Zhenguo and the rewards that the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was about to give, they envied the son of the Duke of Zhenguo's reincarnation skills.
The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty held his chin with one hand, looked at the officials, and thought, "Well, I think about what I should reward Guang'er."
Even though the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty knew that for a person of Cheng Guang's status, no matter what reward he gave, it was dispensable.
So he did not intend to force a reward that would make Cheng Guang angry.
"Zhi Hai, what's your good advice?" The Great Zhou Emperor thought and cast his eyes on Cheng Zhi Hai.
Cheng Zhi Hai wanted to take credit for Cheng Guang, so he wouldn't want nothing.
The Great Zhou Emperor wanted to hear what reward Cheng Zhi Hai would ask for Cheng Guang.
Hearing this, Cheng Zhi Hai smiled and said, "Your Majesty, to be honest, if I were to say it, I would like to ask for a reward for Guang Er."
"You say." The Great Zhou Emperor said.
Cheng Zhi Hai responded, "Your Majesty should know that my son will get married soon. Can Your Majesty come to the wedding?"
The Great Zhou Emperor laughed and shook his head, "Even if you don't say it, I will attend Guang Er's wedding. Is that it?"
Cheng Zhi Hai nodded quickly, and then added, "Your Majesty being able to attend Guang Er's wedding is already the best reward, and there is no need to reward anything else."
Cheng Zhi Hai mentioned it.
The smile on the corner of the Emperor of the Great Zhou slowly froze.
No.
The situation is not right.
Guang'er, that stinky boy, is getting married. As his uncle, I am going to attend. It is fine if I don't bring gifts or not. Just a simple gesture will do.
But Cheng Zhihai clearly wants me to attend Cheng Guang's wedding as the emperor.
This gift cannot be a simple gesture.
A small gesture is not enough.
At least it has to be a big gesture.
It's broken.
The Emperor of the Great Zhou fell silent, looking at the bright smile on Cheng Zhihai's old-fashioned face, and felt a little headache.
Originally, I wanted to fool around, but now it seems that it is no longer possible.
The people who can let the emperor attend the wedding, except for the princes and princesses, no one else in the world has this treatment.
If Cheng Zhihai didn't mention it, the Emperor of the Great Zhou might send some gifts to show his simple gesture, but he would never go in person.
But now, not only does he have to attend Cheng Guang's wedding in person, but he also has to bring a big gift.
The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty now felt that his inner treasury was about to suffer a heavy blow.
…………
Cheng Guang had no idea what was happening in the court.
At this time, he had already taken the Princess of Nanming back to the Zhenguo Mansion and went straight back to the Wanxiang Garden.
Cheng Guang had not yet come up with a good way to deal with the Princess of Nanming.
He felt uneasy just leaving her by his side.
But if he had the intention to kill her, he was afraid that before he killed the Princess of Nanming, he might provoke a Demon Emperor. He was a weakling like him, and he could deal with some little white rabbits like Wu Ling. If he was asked to deal with a Demon Emperor, he would be courting death.
Even if he killed the Princess of Nanming, he would be targeted by a Demon Emperor.
Cheng Guang had just finally gotten rid of the Prince Huai Nian, who liked to stab him in the back. He didn't want to provoke another Demon Emperor and experience the feeling of being assassinated again.
But, speaking of this,
Even if he doesn't kill Princess Nanming now, will the future Abyss Demon King, who has noticed the abnormality of Princess Nanming's clone, let him go?
The answer is obvious, no.
Therefore, if Cheng Guang doesn't move Princess Nanming now, it will only delay for a while and will not play a key role.
Cheng Guang sighed, if he can delay for a while, then delay for a while.
He can hide it as long as he can.
It's good to enjoy a peaceful life.
If he is targeted by the Abyss Demon King in the future, it's unknown what kind of trouble it will cause.
Cheng Guang asked Heizi to suppress Princess Nanming's breath, so that Princess Nanming could not exert much of her strength, and then hid in the bedroom.
At the moment when King Nanming died, the system's prompt sounded in his mind.
The task of killing King Nanming took so long, and finally it was settled.
In such a crowded occasion as the royal festival, it was naturally not easy for him to receive the task reward.
Now back in the mansion, Cheng Guang couldn't help it, and immediately went back to the bedroom to enjoy the fun of opening the express delivery.
"System, receive the task reward!"
Cheng Guang's voice fell.
In front of him, a series of golden lights inexplicably emerged from the void, flowing out bit by bit.
Slowly condensed.
Gathered into the shape of a sword.
The task reward for killing the King of Nanming this time is called the famous sword Tongyou.
Cheng Guang is not quite clear about what level of weapon the famous sword is.
Looking at the blade that slowly condensed in the void, but before getting close to feel the ancient and majestic aura emanating from the famous sword Tongyou.
The sword body seems to be made of the purest mithril, decorated with complex and exquisite cloud patterns, which seem to be flowing aura, flowing on the sword body.
The hilt part is a majestic and slightly ferocious beast.
Cheng Guang slowly grasped the Tongyou sword with one hand.
The moment Cheng Guang's fingertips touched the Tongyou Sword, the Tongyou Sword changed from illusory to real and solid.
At the same time, Cheng Guang felt a sense of intimacy coming from the Tongyou Sword.
He was about to draw out the Tongyou Sword to test its sharpness.
A torrent of information suddenly came from the Tongyou Sword and poured into his mind.
[Tongyou Sword Jue]
Tongyou Sword Jue is named after the Tongyou Sword.
Control the sword with Yuan Qi, integrate the sword Qi with Yuan Qi, and exert the strongest combat power.
Cheng Guang only took a look at the Tongyou Sword Jue and felt that the Tongyou Sword Jue was extremely complex and obscure.
The difficulty of understanding is only stronger than that of Tiangang Xingdou.
It seems that it will take some extra time to master the Tongyou Sword Jue.
However, if he learns the Tongyou Sword Jue and combines it with the Tongyou Sword, his strength can be foreseen and he can go up a few levels.
More means are always good.
Cheng Guang pondered, memorized the Tongyou Sword Technique in his heart, and then looked at the Tongyou Sword in his hand.
Holding the Tongyou Sword, Cheng Guang could clearly feel that he and the soul seemed to be integrated, and an inexplicable connection was established between them.
At the same time, the Tongyou Sword was surrounded by a stream of vitality.
It seemed to be able to breathe like a human, swallowing and exhaling vitality, and the sharp aura all over the body was also slowly increasing.
Cheng Guang himself seemed to have received a certain amount of feedback.
Cheng Guang noticed this scene and said in surprise: "This sword can also assist me in my cultivation."
Ordinary swords, ordinary weapons, even if they are integrated with many precious resources and materials, cannot do what the Tongyou Sword does.
It is not much different from some precious treasures.
Cheng Guang looked at the Tongyou Sword and suddenly realized that this Tongyou Sword might be an alternative treasure?
Cheng Guang hung the Tongyou Sword on his waist with a sound of "tsk tsk".
A little bit of vitality flowed into his body, enhancing his cultivation.
With the silk silk clothes, even if he did not move for a day, his cultivation progress would be several times faster than that of ordinary people.
Cheng Guang walked to the mirror at the head of the bed and looked at himself.
With a sword and a fan, he looked like a gentleman.
Cheng Guang was quite satisfied.
"Prince, the food is ready, let's eat."
Outside the house, Qingluan's voice came.
Cheng Guang heard the voice and pushed the door open. In the pavilion next to him, Qingluan was wearing a green robe and a light white flowered belt around her waist. She bent over and brought a plate of freshly fried side dishes to the table.
Heizi surrounded Qingluan, smelling the food, staring at it with his eyes wide open, but he couldn't eat it, so he jumped up and down anxiously.
Cheng Guang sat down at the table, and Qingluan carefully handed him the bowl and chopsticks.
Cheng Guang simply ate some.
He wasn't particularly hungry.
This day was mainly tiring for the mind, not the body.
Qingluan curiously asked what happened today.
Cheng Guang was bored, so he told Qingluan about the things. Qingluan listened, sometimes covered her red lips and chuckled, sometimes frowned worriedly, and sometimes exclaimed.
It was interesting and peaceful.
When the topic was over and the meal was almost finished, Qingluan gave the remaining food to Heizi, and sat in the pavilion with Cheng Guang to drink tea and rest for a while.
Looking at the noble Princess Nanming in the courtyard, Qingluan couldn't help asking: "Prince, what should we do with this Princess Nanming in the future?"
"Should we let her stay in the mansion?"
Cheng Guang glanced at the Princess Nanming, took a sip of tea, and nodded slowly.
"I plan to do this for the time being."
"After all, this Princess Nanming is the incarnation of the Demon Emperor. Now that the missing prince has been resolved, there is no need to let her leave the Zhenguogong Mansion."
"She can be looked after by her side. If there is any accident, the Zhenguogong can suppress it in the first time, and there will be no chaos."
Qingluan nodded slightly.
At this time, Song Yunqi's figure suddenly walked out of the shadows.
"Prince."
Song Yunqi called out.
Cheng Guang turned his head, looked sideways, and looked at Song Yunqi, "What's the matter?"
Song Yunqi faced Cheng Guang's gaze, bowed his head respectfully, and said: "Prince, the slave named Zhang Shunlong that you ordered to find before has been found."
Hearing Song Yunqi's words, Cheng Guang's eyes lit up.
Previously, he had been searching alone. After all, the entire Lighting Division was busy looking for Prince Huai Nian and had no time to help him find Zhang Shunlong, the future True Yang Martial God.
Later, when he told Cheng Zhihai that the King of Nanming was Prince Huai Nian, the Lighting Division had more manpower, so he asked Song Yunqi to help him find Zhang Shunlong.
For many days, no news came back.
Cheng Guang had already given up hope and planned to organize people to find him after the King of Nanming’s matter was over.
But he didn’t expect that Song Yunqi would send back good news just after the King of Nanming’s matter was over.
“Well done, where is he?”
Song Yunqi replied respectfully: “Prince, this Zhang Shunlong is in Ping’an County near Kyoto, he is a slave, but…”
At this point, Song Yunqi’s face became a little strange.
“But, this Zhang Shunlong doesn’t seem to be a simple slave.”
Hearing this, Cheng Guang couldn’t help but raise his eyes.
"Not just a slave?"
"What do you mean?"
Before Song Yunqi could reply, Cheng Guang thought of the information in the system task prompt and clicked his tongue.
Could it be that Zhang Shunlong had an epiphany now?
