When the three of them received the imperial edict, they were considered to have officially accepted the Empress' order. Congratulations immediately sounded from all around. Luo Jinzhong spoke again at this time, "Please read the contents of the imperial edict carefully. Her Majesty has already written down the list of people who must be mobilized."
After receiving the imperial edict, Prince Xun scanned it with his Divine Sense. He saw many names written on it, and most of them were labeled with their origins. Nearly half of them were from the imperial guards, and the rest were from the Asura nobles.
Seeing that Viscount Hongshan Chu An's name was also on the list, Duan Xiaolou's expression immediately changed. He smiled and said, "In that case, please reply to Her Majesty that I will definitely not disappoint you and set up the security office in the imperial capital. I won't let the assassination of the Asura nobles happen again."
Princess Fenglin and Shui Cangyue on the side also agreed with a few words, indicating that they would not disappoint the Empress.
After Luo Jinzhong left, the atmosphere in the entire hall became lively again. However, everyone present more or less had their own thoughts. They felt that the fine wine in front of them had lost its flavor. What happened today indicated that there would definitely be earth-shaking changes in the Asura Dynasty.
The direct beneficiary was still Prince Xun's side. As for Yun Lin's people, they could more or less get a share of the profits. The most troublesome was still Prince Wei's side. The power that was given to them was originally dug out from his hands. As a result, during the following banquet, Qiao Yongjun's expression was cold, and no one dared to easily provoke him.
Soon, the banquet ended after a few hours. Yi Tian was about to leave. Suddenly, a butler walked up and said, "Prince Xun invites Viscount Hongshan to come with me."
The butler's cultivation was at the Soul Formation Stage. Yi Tian glanced at him and didn't say much. He slowly followed him through the middle hall and came to the back corridor. After passing by a few courtyards, they finally came to the courtyard in the deepest part of the mansion.
"Prince Xun is waiting for Lord Viscount inside." After saying that, the butler turned around and left.
Yi Tian sized up the courtyard below and laid down a barrier. On top of it, there was a crack that was two feet wide and seven feet high. Duan Xiaolou's voice came from inside, "Viscount Hongshan, you must be here. Please come in for a chat."
After entering the courtyard, Yi Tian glanced around and found that Princess Fengling and Shui Cangyue were also there. The three of them sat at the stone table in the courtyard, leaving a seat for themselves.
Seeing this, Yi Tian slowly walked forward, cupped his hands towards the three of them, and slowly sat down. Princess Fengling frowned. She wanted to say something but stopped. Shui Cangyue said, "Viscount Hongshan is so courageous. I admire you for being able to remain so calm in the face of a cultivator two realms above you." She took the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Yi Tian.
Duan Xiaolou also carefully sized it up. After three breaths, he shook his head as if he couldn't see through it. After a while, he opened his mouth and said, "I've checked the place where Viscount Hongshan was attacked that day. Two middle stage Divinity Transformation cultivators against one early stage Divinity Transformation cultivator and three Nascent Soul cultivators is a sure thing. Viscount Hongshan, your previous words have many loopholes. Do you think we are all fools?"
When he couldn't hide it easily, Yi Tian gently took the teacup in front of him and tasted it. After a while, he replied, "That's the truth. Viscount Hongshan survived the assassination attempt. Then, Luo Ziyan wants to use this matter to divide the power of the imperial guards. At the same time, she wants to rope in the Noble King Faction and the noble faction. It's that simple. "
As soon as this was said, Duan Xiaolou and Shui Cangyue's faces turned solemn. After looking at each other, they fell into silence. There was a look of understanding in their eyes, but they couldn't see through Viscount Hongshan's appearance when they scanned him with their Divine Sense.
On the other hand, Princess Fenglin shouted, "How dare you call my royal sister by her name. You should know that I can cut your head off at any time."
Yi Tian laughed and replied lazily, "Take the time to ask Luo Ziyan and see what her attitude is. You will know my identity."
"You are not Chu An. The real Chu An has died long ago. You are my royal sister's person, but don't be too proud. Even if you have the royal order, you are nothing in front of me now. Not to mention there are two Severed Soul cultivators here. I don't believe you can play any tricks. "Princess Fenglin sneered.
"Is that so?" Yi Tian looked at the three people below and continued, "Speaking of the royal edict, I still have one in my hand, but there is no need to take it out. At least the other two are much more insightful than you. You can see that they are not doing anything now. Doesn't that mean something? "
Luo Qingcheng suddenly realized this time. She looked at Duan Xiaolou and Shui Cangyue on both sides. They seemed to have noticed something. It was just that Princess Fenglin was used to being arrogant and domineering, so she naturally couldn't stand Yi Tian's behavior. She snorted coldly and said, "Don't be too proud, I'm not someone to be trifled with. You will still be my subordinate in the future. Be careful in everything you do. "
"Enough, Qingcheng, don't say anymore." Duan Xiaolou interrupted in a timely manner, then turned around and stared at her for a while before trying to send a voice transmission, "We have met before. You saved me."
"You have good eyesight." Yi Tian reached out and pointed at Luo Qingcheng. A beam of spirit light fell and made her fall asleep immediately. He acted so fast that even Shui Cangyue, who was sitting on the side, didn't have time to stop him.
"You don't have to do this. Qingcheng is still a child." Shui Cangyue said.
"Princess Fenglin's temper is too bad. If it weren't for Luo Ziyan, I would have already taught her a lesson." Yi Tian took out a jade slip and put it on the table. "This is the real secret order of the empress. You all quickly check it. Don't disappoint the empress."
Xun Wang's heir looked serious. After checking the seal mark on the jade slip, he opened it and read it carefully. After a while, he handed the jade slip to Shui Cangyue. After the latter quickly looked through it, a cautious look gradually appeared on her face.
After sighing, Shui Cangyue put away the jade slip and handed it back. "I already know the importance of this matter. Please reply to Her Majesty the Empress, I will do my best to do it well. As for Princess Fenglin, please give me face and let her go. "
"Of course, of course. I don't mean to make things difficult for her." After saying that, Yi Tian moved his finger and erased the halo on her body. Ten breaths later, Luo Qingcheng's eyelids trembled slightly as she regained consciousness. After waking up, she vigilantly sized up Viscount Hongshan, who was in front of her. There was a hint of fear in her eyes, but she did not dare to say anything else.
Seeing that she was a little tactful, Yi Tian said, "The imperial army selection is imminent. Luo Ziyan wants to put her forces in and replace Prince Wei's forces. At the very least, it will be an independent army. They won't have to listen to Qiao Yongjun or Luo Yao."
"The empress wants to take back her authority. What does Sovereign Yun mean?" Shui Cangyue asked.
"Yunlin has no objections. Moreover, Luo Yao is difficult to control. Rather than letting him become the second Prince Wei, it is better to settle him down. "Yi Tian explained.
