As time passed, the Golden Crow rose from the east, and the warm sunlight poured down. Zhao Xia was dazzling, and the silent Chang 'an gradually became noisy.
In the imperial palace, the morning court session had already begun. Emperor Li Shimin sat on the dragon throne, thinking about yesterday's dream.
The dream was so real that it could not be fake. That old Dragon King was also pitiful. Just save his life.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin settled the affairs of the imperial court. He looked at the civil and military officials and said, "Prime Minister Wei, stay for now."
After the officials left, Wei Zheng looked at Li Shimin and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, why are you looking for me?"
"My dear minister, I'm in the mood. Do you have time to play a few rounds of chess with me?"
Hearing this, Wei Zheng's expression was a little strange. Obviously, he did not understand why His Majesty suddenly wanted to play chess with him. However, since His Majesty had asked, he could not refuse.
"I'm honored."
"I'll go change my clothes first. My dear minister, please wait in the back garden for a while."
With that, Li Shimin turned and left. However, he was thinking that if he delayed a little, that old Dragon King should be able to survive.
Half an hour later, in the pavilion in the back garden of the imperial palace.
At this time, Li Shimin had already changed out of his dragon robe and was wearing a blue robe. He wore a jade crown on his head and had deep eyes. Although his hair was white and his face was wrinkled, he still gave off an extremely stable aura.
Glancing at Wei Zheng, Li Shimin smiled warmly and said, "I have nothing to do and would like to talk about the world situation with my dear minister."
He had promised Jinghe Dragon King last night that he would save the latter's life. He only needed to delay Wei Zheng and not let him take action later.
Wei Zheng looked at the sun in the sky and thought for a moment. He nodded slightly. It was just a few rounds of chess, and it would not take much time.
Usually, Li Shimin rarely looked for him except for matters of the imperial court. Wei Zheng was a little reserved and answered his questions carefully.
After a few rounds of chess, Wei Zheng glanced at the sun in the sky from time to time.
Seeing this, Li Shimin did not change his expression. He knew that Wei Zheng was anxious about Jinghe Dragon King. He placed his chess pieces slowly and thought for a moment before placing each piece.
Wei Zheng naturally did not know that Jinghe Dragon King had entered Li Shimin's dream last night and asked for help.
"Your Majesty, the discussion is almost done. I still have some matters to attend to …"
"My beloved subject, it's still early. We have already asked the imperial kitchen to prepare lunch. It's not easy for us to get interested. Let's play a few more rounds."
Wei Zheng wanted to leave, but before he could finish speaking, he was cleverly cut off by Li Shimin. Li Shimin also had the maidservant beside him bring over a chess piece, picked it up, and placed it down.
Beyond his expectation, Wei Zheng's chess skill was superior, Li Shimin's original intention was to stall for time, yet when they fought until the middle of the game, the board already showed signs of defeat. Li Shimin could not help lowering his head to ponder for a long time. By the time he put down the chess piece, he raised his head to look at Wei Zheng, but the latter was already leaning over the table, snoring loudly.
Seeing this, Li Shimin laughed in a low voice and said, "Xian Qing really has the heart to support the country, the strength to establish rivers and mountains is tired."
Wei Zheng did not respond, Li Shimin finally heaved a sigh of relief. He did not disturb him and let him sleep. Glancing at the blazing sun in the sky, he saw that it was already three quarters to noon. He thought that Jinghe Dragon King should have escaped the calamity.
However, what Li Shimin did not know was that Wei Zheng's Immortal Soul had already left his body and was rushing toward Jinghe at lightning speed.
"Jinghe Dragon King, I am here on the Jade Emperor's decree to take your head!"
Wei Zheng's voice was like rolling thunder, shaking the surface of Jinghe River and causing waves of ripples.
Suddenly, raging waves appeared on Jinghe River, and a middle-aged man with a dragon head and a human body wearing a dragon robe floated out of the water. He looked at Wei Zheng, who was surrounded by a righteous aura in the void, and his expression was extremely ugly.
He did not expect that Li Shimin, who had clearly promised to save his life, would not keep his promise after he had pleaded bitterly yesterday.
Thinking of this, Jinghe Dragon King recalled what the young man had said yesterday. The Jade Emperor wanted to kill him, and Li Shimin, a mere mortal, could not save him.
"Evil dragon, die!"
Wei Zheng held Frost Blade in his hand and fiercely slashed at Jinghe Dragon King's head!
"No!"
Jinghe Dragon King exclaimed. He felt the righteous aura on Wei Zheng's body and the pressure from the Jade Emperor's decree. He did not dare to fight at all. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a giant dragon that was hundreds of feet long and swept toward the other side of the sky.
Boom! Boom! Rumble!
Frost Blade slashed down, and the blade tore through space. The temperature within a radius of dozens of miles dropped rapidly. The blade landed on Jinghe River and directly cut it into two.
In an instant, the river merged, and a raging wave appeared.
Jinghe Dragon King's attack missed, and he fled toward the other side of the sky at full speed. He was as fast as lightning, and Wei Zheng was only in his Immortal Soul state. He could not catch up for a while.
"Evil dragon, don't run!"
Roar! Roar!
Thunder came from behind. Jinghe Dragon King growled in fright and fled even more desperately. Seeing that the distance between them had increased, a layer of sweat appeared on Wei Zheng's face.
At this moment, in the pavilion in the backyard of the palace.
Li Shimin saw Wei Zheng sleeping on the stone table. His forehead was covered in sweat, and his expression was slightly anxious. He frowned. It seemed that the weather was too hot, and the latter was not sleeping well.
Feeling sorry for his virtuous subject, Li Shimin immediately ordered the maid to bring the parasol over and personally fanned Wei Zheng. As the cool breeze blew, Wei Zheng's sweat disappeared, and he slept soundly.
In the void thousands of miles away, Wei Zheng was burning with anxiety. Suddenly, he felt a cool breeze blowing, and his speed increased sharply. He was overjoyed, and the distance between him and Jinghe Dragon King gradually narrowed. Frost Blade slashed directly at his dragon head.
"No! Save me!"
Jinghe Dragon King roared in despair. Feeling the sharp aura of Frost Blade, he was so frightened that his dragon body trembled. His dragon eyes looked at the falling sword Qi, and he was stunned on the spot.
However, at this critical moment, a pure white light shrouded the space above, and Jinghe Dragon King's figure disappeared without a trace in an instant.
The sharp sword blade mixed with overwhelming righteousness missed again. It tore through space and was finally destroyed in the void.
Wei Zheng stood in the void with Frost Blade in his hand. He was inexplicably shocked. His eyes scanned the void, and he sensed the fluctuation of aura. He realized that Jinghe Dragon King's aura had disappeared into thin air!
After pondering for a few seconds, Wei Zheng's face turned ashen. The pure white light beam just now was obviously an unknown immortal hiding in the dark to protect that evil dragon.
What depressed him the most was that he could not even see the figure of the person hiding in the dark, and Jinghe Dragon King, who was under the butcher's knife, was kidnapped.
The immortal hiding in the dark was definitely much stronger than him.
