After returning to the other courtyard outside, Mu Feng had just changed into a clean academic gown and sat down cross-legged when the door was pushed open with a creak, and Liniang strode in.Behind them, followed by a group of cold Tongtian Guards.

Although the sky was still dark and the surroundings were still dark, but this time, the charming Liniang returned to her usual attire of Tongtianwei.Wearing a helmet and armor, only a pair of sharp and cold eyes are exposed from the whole body.His right hand was habitually pressed on the hilt hanging from his waist. As he walked, the sword collided with the armor, making a crisp clang sound, which was breathtaking.

"Palace Master Mu, His Majesty has an order to announce that you will enter the palace early to face the saint. It's getting late, it's time to set off, please!"

Liniang was serious and well-behaved, completely different from her charming attire and expression last time.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed that such a ruthless and ruthless leader of the Tongtian Guard actually had such a tender side.

"Okay, let's go!"

Mu Feng nodded and suddenly stood up.

He had been waiting for this day for many days.

This time, he traveled hundreds of millions of miles from southern Xinjiang to the capital known as Longtan and Tiger's Den, and he wanted to see what the majestic and powerful Emperor Tongtian had in mind.

"The carriage is already waiting outside, Palace Master Mu, please!" Liniang bowed to invite her.

Outside the yard, a luxurious and stately carriage has been waiting for a long time, and it is pulled by four purebred Western Region white horses.Hundreds of Tongtian Guards guarded the surrounding area with torches, ready to fight.After Mu Feng boarded the carriage, the group left quickly and went straight to the palace which was still shrouded in darkness.

Along the way, there were few pedestrians, and the only small vendors who got up early hurriedly hid aside when they saw Tong Tianwei who was leading the way.

Although the journey was smooth and the palace was getting closer and closer, Liniang, who was accompanying her, did not dare to be careless.He rode a tall horse and followed closely beside the carriage, giving orders in a deep voice from time to time, ordering the team to speed up again and again.

"The capital city is the base camp of your Tongtianwei, Liniang, don't you feel at ease here?"

Mu Feng lifted the curtains of the carriage to look at the scenery on both sides of the road. Seeing the confident and scheming Liniang in the past, she looked nervous and teased lightly.

"In this world, the safest place is the capital, and the most dangerous place is also the capital!"

Liniang's face was serious, seeing that Mu Feng didn't take it seriously, she hesitated a little and then said coldly: "Master Mu Feng, do you know how many people have been secretly watching your whereabouts, trying to harm you?"

"Tell me, who are there?" Mu Feng asked.

"Many, too many!"

Liniang shook her head, as a well-informed leader of the Tongtian Guard, she understood how dangerous it was now.

While galloping wildly, following closely beside the carriage, while looking around, he continued in a deep voice: "I won't say much else, young master, remember, there are two people who should pay special attention after entering the palace. One is from the Jin family. Zhu Jiuling, the servant of the Ministry of War, and the other is Shangguan Yu, the master of Jixia Academy and a scholar of Hanlin University."

"Zhu Jiuling, Shangguan Yu..."

Mu Feng muttered to himself, remembering these two names.

Without Liniang saying much, he quickly understood the strength of these two people and the conflict with himself.

Needless to say, Zhu Jiuling, when he was on the battlefield of the Heavenly Demon, he had a deep blood feud with the Jin family. If he guessed correctly, this military servant named Zhu Jiuling was Zhu Baxuan's father and the head of the Jin family.As for the contradictions and conflicts between Shangguan Yu and himself, it is not difficult to infer.

For a long time, Jixia Academy was created by Emperor Tongtian and fully supported by the Royal Academy, hoping to suppress the rest of the Academy, control public opinion, and guide the thoughts and opinions of scholars all over the world.As the lord of the Jixia Academy, Shangguan Yu's status has been revered over the years, detached and refined.

Under his control, Jixia Academy became more and more popular, with many masters and masters emerging in large numbers.It's a pity that despite his fame, he has been unable to really suppress the Wuyue Academy secretly supported by Immortal Sword Sect, and the Academy supported by other forces, let alone the Xiangshan Academy with a long history, and has been unable to take charge of the leader.According to legend, Emperor Tongtian has expressed his dissatisfaction with him many times, and the pressure is enormous.

As the lord of the Xiangshan Academy, this time he was ordered to go to Beijing to meet the saint, which naturally aroused his suspicion!

Along the way, many Tongtian Guards were cautious, as if they were facing a big enemy.But they didn't encounter any danger until they reached the gate of the palace, and the tense people along the way finally breathed a sigh of relief.Sitting in the carriage, Mu Feng remained calm, but secretly relaxed a lot.

In the folks, Emperor Tongtian is called a generation of tyrants, but in fact, he is the most talented and hardworking generation of kings in history.In the early years, Tiantian personally went to court to be in power.It's only in recent years that he has devoted himself to the pursuit of immortality, so he has gradually delegated power to the ministers to take care of the government.

Over the years, the number of times he went to court became less and less, but the daily morning court remained.

Unlike the previous dynasties, the early dynasty he ordered would start before dawn.Civil and military officials often get up in the middle of the night and come from all over the capital.While ordinary people were still soundly asleep, these seemingly majestic and inviolable high-ranking officials had to hurry on their way in the cold wind.

When Mu Feng and his party arrived outside the gate of the imperial palace, many ministers had already gathered; seeing the carriage escorted by many heavenly guards and stars, they secretly discussed and guessed the identity of the people on the carriage.What Liniang received was a sudden secret order, and even many high-ranking first-rank ministers didn't know that Mu Feng entered the palace today by order.

"With so many guards protecting the sky, who is sitting in the carriage?"

"That is, recently, the war in northern Xinjiang has been tense, and there have been rumors of riots in the East China Sea. Could it be that they are urgent guests from northern Xinjiang or the East China Sea?"

"It's not peaceful everywhere recently, I don't know, will His Majesty come in person at the morning court today?"

……

Looking at the tightly covered carriage surrounded by the brigade of Tongtianwei, the ministers looked up and down curiously.

Winter is here, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the cold air from northern Xinjiang is sweeping across the entire capital.When the sky was about to get dark, the weather was the coldest. Although the ministers were wearing cotton robes, they were still shivering and stomping their feet vigorously from time to time.In particular, many civil servants who were already weak were so cold that they sneezed again and again.According to the regulations, no one was allowed to open the gate of the palace before the time came, and these ministers had to wait in the cold wind.

drive, drive, drive...

While people were discussing and shivering from the cold, the sound of galloping horses' footsteps came from afar.The steps are uniform, like ten thousand horses galloping.

Looking up, I saw a group of cavalry appearing in the distance, rushing over at full speed.The leading middle-aged knight was tall and burly, wearing only a thin official robe in such a cold weather.From a long distance away, an intimidating murderous aura rushed towards his face, and the power fluctuations in his body were as majestic as the tide of the sea, which made people look sideways.

"Master Mu Feng, this middle-aged knight is Zhu Jiuling, the servant of the Ministry of War, be careful!"

Seeing the figure of the visitor, Liniang's face was serious, and she whispered to remind Mu Feng in the carriage.Then, with a secret order, many Tongtian guards surrounded the carriage to prevent any accidents.
