Qin Capital.
Deep in the palace.
"Ah …"
In the pitch-black environment, a figure that was sitting cross-legged like a ghost let out a muffled groan in pain. Suddenly, it opened its bright eyes. A wisp of dark red blood slowly seeped out from between its eyebrows and flowed down.
Whoosh.
The four ghost lanterns around him suddenly lit up automatically.
The faint blue light made the figure like a translucent statue, which was very strange. The huge head occupied two-thirds of the body, the torso was only a quarter, and the hands and feet were short.
"Who is it? How can he break my spirit technique so quickly … Well, I have to be careful. "
He stretched out his hand to wipe the blood between his eyebrows, and stuck out his tongue, which could directly lick his eyebrows. The tip of the tongue was forked, like the tongue of a poisonous snake, like a human but not a human, like a monster.
At this time, footsteps came from outside the door.
"Master, the food sent by His Majesty has arrived." A sharp voice, which was obviously from the eunuch in the palace, with a gust of Yin Qi.
"Well, send it in." The master said.
His voice, was even sharper than that of a eunuch, like a stretched silk thread, giving people the feeling that it might break at any time.
Then, there was the screaming and crying of young women and begging for mercy outside the door.
…
…
Emperor Qin Zheng paced back and forth in the main hall.
His expression was a little anxious, as if he was waiting for something.
The palace maids and eunuchs serving at the side could clearly feel that the emperor was very anxious today. It was completely different from the confident and domineering person who usually planned strategies and had everything under control. Therefore, they were also very careful and did not even dare to breathe loudly.
About two hours ago, a very favored concubine, relying on His Majesty's favor, forced her way into the Palace of Counsel. In the past, she would only be slightly reprimanded, and then kept aside to serve. But today, this concubine, was directly dragged out by the impatient His Majesty's guards and beaten to death.
In the past year, everyone felt that His Majesty had changed. He had lost his former gentleness, and became more and more irritable, and more and more ruthless.
Even Her Royal Highness, recently came to the palace less often.
It was said that a year ago, the two siblings, who used to depend on each other for survival, had a strained relationship and had an intense quarrel.
"Why is there still no news?"
Qin Zheng looked anxious.
Today, he decided to do something big.
The preliminary information had come, but further information still needed to be confirmed.
This made him a little uneasy.
Creak!
The door of the Conference Hall was suddenly pushed open.
"Bastard, who dares to barge in without prior notice? Men, drag him out and beat him to death! "
The irritated Qin Zheng shouted without even turning his head.
"Your temper has become too short-tempered."
A calm voice with a power that made one's heart palpitate came from outside the door.
Qin Zheng's expression changed greatly. He turned around abruptly and saw a slender figure clad in a white robe that seemed to be gilded with gold. It was as if an invisible hand had grabbed his throat and he couldn't say a word.
"Impudent! Who is it that dares to speak to His Majesty like this?" An old eunuch with white eyebrows and white hair shouted with a sharp voice. With a flick of the horsetail whisk in his hand, wisps of white threads shot directly at the white figure like steel needles.
This was also a eunuch in the Void-breaking Realm.
"Stop!" Qin Zheng reacted and immediately gave the order.
But it was too late.
Before the silver threads were ten meters away from the white figure, they flew backward at an even faster speed. In midair, they weaved into the shape of a fist and slammed into the chief eunuch in the Void-breaking Realm. The eunuch was sent flying and crashed into the splendid wall of the Conference Hall, leaving a human-shaped hole in the wall.
"Your … Your Honor Li, I didn't know it was you." Qin Zheng looked a little flustered, but he gradually calmed down and said, "I'm ignorant. Your Honor Li, please forgive me."
The person who came was naturally Li Mu.
Standing at the door of the Conference Hall, Li Mu looked at the young emperor who looked a little nervous inside. This face was completely different from the face of the simple and ambitious little boy who studied hard in order not to make his sister sad a few years ago.
People would change.
But some people's changes were so great that it was strange.
Li Mu's eyes passed over the young man and fell behind him. In the place where the sunlight did not reach, the golden dragon chair appeared noble and powerful in the blurry shadow, but also a little cold.
"First, immediately stop the attack on the ten cities and nine counties. Second, explain to me why you sent troops to poison the wine, plot against the envoy of the Great Moon King, and attack Yu Hualong and the little princess Li Anzhi in the name of congratulations."
Li Mu looked at the young emperor and said slowly.
"Er … I didn't …" Qin Zheng swallowed subconsciously.
Li Mu interrupted him and said, "As the emperor of a country, think carefully before you speak. Don't be afraid to say what you have done. Besides, listen carefully. This is the last chance I'm giving you."
Don't say I didn't warn you.
Qin Zheng took two steps back, and his heart beat wildly.
He hurriedly took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. Then, he made a gesture to a little eunuch on the side and asked him to hurry up and go to the palace. Then, he said slowly, "Your Honor Li, I am the emperor of a country after all. I rule the world. You came uninvited and broke into the Conference Hall, which is already a taboo. Now, you talk to me in such a tone. Do you think it's right?"
"Rule the world?" Li Mu looked at the young emperor who looked fierce but was actually timid and said, "Who do you think the world belongs to?"
"Of course it belongs to me," Qin Zheng said matter-of-factly with his head held high.
Li Mu smiled and said, "You're wrong."
"Oh? What do you think, Your Honor Li? "Qin Zheng was so angry that he laughed.
Li Mu said, "It belongs to whom I say it belongs."
"How dare you!" Qin Zheng was furious and said, "Li Mu, if it weren't for the sake of our past friendship, I could kill all your relatives just because of what you just said. Do you believe it or not?"
Li Mu shook his head and said, "If it weren't for the sake of our past friendship, you would have been a dead man. You're a frog at the bottom of a well. You don't know the immensity of the sky and the immensity of the earth. Not to mention that you are just the emperor of a small country on the Divine Land, even the overlord of the Brilliance Immortal Star Region is like an ant in front of me … Idiot."
A surging and fierce momentum spread out from Li Mu.
Qin Zheng staggered backwards in fear.
"Hahahaha, where did this wild dog come from? How dare you talk so arrogantly in the imperial palace in front of the emperor?" A sharp voice, as if a steel wire was stretched and would break at any time, floated out in the Conference Hall.
And the moment he heard this voice, the panic on Qin Zheng's face turned into relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
"Imperial Advisor, you finally came," he said excitedly.
That sharp voice floated in the Conference Hall, giving people a mysterious and gloomy feeling. "Your Majesty, don't worry. I won't let anyone threaten Your Majesty. If anyone dares to talk nonsense in front of Your Majesty, I'll make him speechless forever."
The voice sneered, which was even more harsh and heart-wrenching.
Qin Zheng nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't kill him … After all, he has done me a favor … Just destroy his cultivation."
"If I destroy his cultivation, won't I be able to do anything to him?"
"Ugh, His Majesty is really merciful. Towards such arrogant people who overstep their boundaries, they should be ruthlessly killed …" That sharp voice seemed to be filled with regret.
Before the voice died away —
Li Mu directly stretched out his hand and said, "You reckless dog, get out of here."
A white giant hand made of natural qi appeared and directly reached into the Conference Hall. It reached into the dark shadow ripples, as if reaching into the water to catch fish. In an instant, a strange body with a big head and a small body was directly pulled out from the darkness.
"Ah, it's you? You're that guy … "
That figure screamed and struggled, full of shock and panic after a sudden realization.
