Profound Emperor was leaving the palace!?
All the officials in the Xuan Army Hall panicked. They didn't know what Profound Emperor was thinking, but they didn't dare to ask. Finally, King Lian walked forward. After Profound Emperor gave him a few instructions, King Lian nodded and left.
What did he say?
If he used his soul power, of course he could hear it. But in this Xuan Army Hall, who dared to use their soul power to sense Profound Emperor? That was the same as bringing a blade into the hall. It would be seen as an assassination.
All the officials waited silently to see what else Profound Emperor had to say. In the end, Profound Emperor waved his hand at them and said indifferently, "Disperse."
Disperse?
There was nothing left for them to do?
Everyone looked at each other, confused, but they could only retreat silently.
…
…
In the empty Xuan Army City, Lu Ping led Su Tang in the direction that Ji Guang pointed them. He could sense that there were still people watching them from far, far away. They must be spies from the Xuan Army, but he didn't bother. He was more concerned about Su Tang's condition.
"How are you?" He asked Su Tang. Su Tang had been tortured, and his body was already in a bad condition. Just now, he used all his strength to break free from the soul chains and took two arrows from Ji Guang. After he saw Lu Ping, he gritted his teeth and held on with his will. Now that he was out of danger, he finally couldn't hold on anymore, and his steps were getting weaker and weaker.
"A little tired." In front of Lu Ping, Su Tang didn't force himself and said whatever was on his mind.
"Let me carry you." Lu Ping bent down.
"En." Su Tang lay on Lu Ping's back, just like when they escaped from the organization four years ago.
But that time, Lu Ping was also at the end of his rope, and he could only grit his teeth and hold on. This time, he was in a good condition, and he felt much more at ease than before.
After walking for a while with Su Tang on his back, Lu Ping suddenly heard the sound of water, and couldn't help but think of the majestic river that ran through the north and south of Xuan Army City.
"Why not take a boat," he said.
"You can't walk either?" Su Tang asked.
"No, if we take a boat, we can go out along the water. Morin and the others are right there." Lu Ping said. All he could think of was something that would save him a lot of trouble.
"Oh, Morin is here too," said Su Tang.
"And Ling Ziyan and Senior Apprentice-Brother Fang," said Lu Ping.
"Senior Brother Fang?" Su Tang heard Mo Sheng's name.
"That's right, Fang Yizhu who came from Zhai Feng and entered the North Style Academy." Lu Ping said.
"Oh!" Su Tang was much more familiar with Zhenfeng College than Lu Ping. Fang Yizhu was a name that Lu Ping or Morin didn't pay attention to after entering Zhenfeng College for a few days. In Zhenfeng College, he was one of the four most talked about by the students. His name was hung on the right wall of Zhai Feng Building's first floor lobby for many years as the representative of the outstanding graduates.
Afterwards, Lu Ping talked about the things he encountered in the North Style Academy while listening to the sound of water as they arrived at the riverside.
The river was vast, but the entire city was under strict lockdown. Not a single boat could be seen on the river. Lu Ping looked left and right, and quickly found a boat that was docked at the riverside.
"Do you know how to do it?" Su Tang, who was placed on the boat, saw Lu Ping clumsily untying the rope and paddling the oars, and couldn't help but ask.
"Of course not." Lu Ping didn't have any shame on his face, and answered very naturally.
After untying the rope, the boat began to float towards the center of the river, spinning along the way. Lu Ping stood at the stern of the boat, but he didn't know how to paddle. He had a helpless expression on his face.
"It's fine if we just float like this." Su Tang said.
Thereupon, Lu Ping gave up. However, he didn't care about anything else, and didn't avoid the whirlpool or the waves, so the boat floated on the river. Up and down, spinning and rocking. Other than not turning the boat upside down, there were all sorts of situations. After a few waves, the two of them looked at each other in silence, but in the end, they laughed heartily together.
No matter what, the two of them were finally together again. Nothing was more important than this.
The boat floated along the river, getting faster and faster. The two of them seemed to have forgotten about their current situation, and treated it as a game. After passing through another whirlpool, the two of them felt a little dizzy. Suddenly, Lu Ping's expression turned cold, and his figure flashed to Su Tang's side.
Su Tang turned his head and looked in the direction Lu Ping was looking. He saw a bridge that spanned the river in front of him. A person was standing on the side of the bridge, looking at the lone boat in the river. When he saw the two of them looking over, he put on a smile, cupped his fists, and bowed to the two of them.
The two of them were at a loss. They didn't know if he was a friend or foe. Lu Ping carefully sensed the voice of the other party's Spirit Force, but he didn't hear any aggressive rhythm. Then, he saw the person take a step forward, and actually directly step down from the bridge.
This landing was extremely slow, extremely slow. The person opened his arms, as if to show that he didn't have any hostility.
The voice of the Spirit Force that Lu Ping heard didn't show any aggression, but he didn't relax at all, and protected Su Tang behind him.
The person slowly descended, and finally reached the surface of the river. He had been paying attention to Lu Ping and Su Tang's expressions the entire time. At this moment, he cupped his fists and smiled. "You two, I don't have any hostility." As he said this, his figure floated forward, and he just so happened to land on the tip of the boat. With a light tap of his feet, he steadied himself, and the boat wasn't affected at all.
"What's the matter?" Lu Ping asked. If the other party didn't have any hostility, then he had to have a reason for coming.
"This one is Gu Qichao." The other party introduced himself.
Lu Ping obviously didn't know this name, but his character saw Su Tang's expression change slightly.
"King of Liao?" Su Tang said.
"I don't dare." King of Liao Gu Qichao came up and said his name like a normal person. It looked very normal, but for someone of his status, this kind of attitude was to let the other party know that he was treating the two of them as equals. This was extremely humble. They already knew who King of Liao was.
Unfortunately, in front of Lu Ping, he didn't even know who King of Liao was. He looked suspiciously at Su Tang, as if he was very surprised that Su Tang knew the other party.
"King of Liao is the half-brother of the Profound Empress, and his status is very high." Su Tang could only give Lu Ping a simple explanation.
"Mn." Lu Ping responded. He didn't show any emotion towards this taboo of being under one person and above tens of thousands of people in the Profound Army Empire.
Seeing this, King of Liao didn't feel very good. He had lowered his status, which was already quite courteous, but if the other party didn't feel anything about his status, then he probably wouldn't be able to understand this respect. King of Liao had done all this for nothing. He couldn't use some of the words he had prepared beforehand, so he just got straight to the point.
"That … the Profound Empress is in the tea pavilion up ahead, and she wants to invite the two of you over for a chat," King of Liao said. He knew very well why he had come, but when he really said this, he still felt very awkward. This was the grand Profound Empress. How could she say "invite" when she spoke to others? Those were all "imperial edicts." But now, not only did the Profound Empress personally walk out of the Black Flower Palace, she even waited at the river where the other party was going to pass, and even sent King of Liao, who had the highest status besides him, to invite them. In King of Liao's memory, even the four deans and the Five Spirits experts had never received such high treatment when they visited the Profound Army City. But today, for this Lu Ping, the Profound Empress did this much. King of Liao didn't even dare to think about what kind of grievance and anger he was suppressing in his heart. He only knew that the person who came to invite him was anxious for the Profound Empress.
But Lu Ping's expression didn't change, and his tone was still as indifferent as before.
