Taiqing Sword

Chapter 36, The Emperor's Urgent Move
Shangguan Jinghong chose Mount Emei, and immediately started to build the mountain gate. He hurriedly found a dozen villagers from the nearby mountain villages. The villagers were grateful for Shangguan Jinghong's killing of the vampire monster. With the help of Biling and a group of disciples, it took more than two months, and finally took shape.

"Jinghong, what's the name of the sect?" Ning Ning Xin said.

Shangguan Jinghong smiled slightly: "Xi Xinzong."

Ning Ningxin nodded upon hearing the words: "Very good." Randomly stunned, his face turned red: "Xi Xinzong?"

"That's right, Xixinzong." Shangguan Jinghong looked at Ning Ningxin pointedly.

Ning Ningxin's heart was beating wildly: "What do you mean?"

"Since the day I stepped into the rivers and lakes, I have been alone on the road. These years have been ups and downs, and I have experienced life and death, but no matter what happened, I have never regretted it. When the news came that Narcissus was married, I was in pain. Fortunately, you are by my side, you have been with me for so long, cherish, cherish, cherish, and focus on." Shangguan Jinghong's face flashed a trace of melancholy: "It's a pity that the whereabouts of the narcissus are still unknown. After waiting for the incident of the narcissus, I will Just give up all of this and just be with you, no matter where you are."

Ning Ning listened quietly to Shangguan Jinghong's words, and wrapped his arms around his waist: "Jinghong, lucky people have their own appearance, Narcissus must be fine."

"I hope so."

Shangguan Jinghong and Ning Ningxin looked at the busy crowd, at this moment, a few fast horses suddenly jumped up the mountain, and the horses were wearing official uniforms, and quickly galloped to Shangguan Jinghong: "Worship grown ups."

Shangguan Jinghong frowned when he heard this: "Who are you?"

The leader said: "The humble name is Hua Wu, a subordinate of Eunuch Wei of the East Factory."

Shangguan Jinghong felt a little unhappy when he heard the name of Dongchang, maybe it was the name of Dongchang from watching TV dramas in the past: "What do you want from me?"

"Pass down the emperor's oral order to let the priest return to Beijing quickly."

Shangguan Jinghong's heart tightened. The two major priests are sitting in the capital, and the emperor invited me back to the capital. Could it be that something important happened, but I owe the emperor a favor: "Go back first, I will rush to the capital later."

Hua Wu bowed his head and saluted: "If you enshrine your lord, if you have a humble position, you will retire first." After speaking, he got on his horse and quickly went down the mountain.

Ning Ningxin said worriedly: "Jinghong, there are two innate masters in the palace, and they want to find you back. I'm afraid it will not be easy."

Shangguan Jinghong sighed and said: "No matter what, I made a promise with the emperor at the beginning that I must go back. The construction here is about to be completed. It seems that this place will trouble you, so be careful."

Ning Ning was stunned: "Jinghong, shall I go with you?"

Shangguan Jinghong once thought about it, but after all, things are not clear, if Ning Xin follows, if it is dangerous, he will regret it for the rest of his life: "Ning Xin, I will go there by myself, people are inseparable here, and you have to help me recruit disciples , during the time I'm not here, remember to be careful when you're done."

Ning Ningxin also understands that Shangguan Jinghong doesn't want to put himself in danger, so he nodded: "Don't worry, Jinghong, come back early after finishing your work."

Shangguan Jinghong nodded in agreement, and left without saying goodbye to the others.

Three days later, in the imperial palace of the capital, Zhao Tianjing paced back and forth with the Chongzheng Hall: "Has Shangguan Jinghong not arrived yet?"

Peng Anyu said: "Go back to the emperor, the time should be fast, the emperor should wait patiently."

"Patience, I'm very anxious right now, little Wei, I'll send someone to take a look." Zhao Tianjing looked extremely anxious.

Wei Xianzhong immediately summoned Hua Wu: "Hua Wu, go and look for it again. If you find it, you must let him come to the capital tomorrow."

Hua Wu immediately nodded in agreement, and was about to go to look for it, when Shangguan Jinghong's voice came from outside the hall: "No need, I'm here." As soon as the words fell, Shangguan Jinghong pushed the door open and entered: "Your Majesty, what is the hurry? "

Zhao Tianjing heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Shangguan Jinghong: "You are back."

"What's the matter, Your Majesty?"

Zhao Tianjing dismissed Wei Xianzhong: "Xiao Weizi, please tell me."

"Yes." Wei Xianzhong took a few steps closer to Shangguan Jinghong: "Shangguan worships, have you ever heard of the secret realm of the royal family?"

Shangguan Jinghong was taken aback when he heard the words: "The secret realm of the royal family?"

Wei Xianzhong looked at Shangguan Jinghong's bewildered expression, and suddenly said: "Oh, you have not been in the palace for a long time, so you probably don't know that this royal secret realm is also an ancient relic in Jianghu. A secret realm, according to legend, was also opened up by the masters in ancient times. It has to be opened once every hundred years. There are extremely precious elixir in the secret realm, and there are even supreme martial arts cheats. This royal secret realm has always been controlled by the royal family, but There are also many martial arts people who know this. Whenever the secret realm opens, many people in the martial arts covet it one after another. Even some old guys who live in seclusion in the mountains will come to join in the fun. Therefore, every time the secret realm opens, I need extremely strict precautions. That's why I brought you back."

After hearing this, Shangguan Jinghong was extremely horrified: "Eunuch Wei, you mean that it's time to open the royal secret realm again?"

"That's right, it's also because of this that His Majesty asked the old slave to restart the East Factory. I have received reliable news that the four great ancient families of Yan Leng and Yuan Yun are also waiting for the opportunity. Only me, Peng Gongfu and An Gongfu can't compete with them." , that’s why I invite you back to guard the secret realm together.”

Shangguan Jinghong frowned, did not ask Wei Xianzhong again, but looked at Zhao Tianjing and said in a dilemma: "Your Majesty, the world is full of eyeliners, and the Emperor knows about me in Mount Emei, so he should also know that my wife is from the Leng family. , let me deal with the Leng family...it's really, a little embarrassing."

Zhao Tianjing said understandingly: "This time guarding the secret realm is for Xiao Weizi and the other two to enshrine. I want you to enter the secret realm and get some things."

Shangguan Jinghong was even more surprised when he heard the words: "Let me enter the secret realm?"

"Yes, I've thought about it. I don't want to reveal your identity as an imperial court enshrinement. Originally, I wanted Xiao Weizi to enter the secret realm this time. Unfortunately, the last time I lost three of the five royal family enshrinements, Priest Peng was seriously injured. This time the secret realm has been opened. , It is destined to be another fierce battle, but I don’t want to hand it over to others, Xiao Weizi is a master of martial arts, I think there will not be too many casualties this time with his protection, you just go to the secret realm to get the treasure, I promise you to take the treasure as you like , but what I want, I must find." Zhao Tianjing's arrogance as a superior was revealed at this time, and he looked completely different from that sickly middle-aged man.

Shangguan Jinghong was still a little worried: "Your Majesty, I have a merciless request."

Zhao Tianjing didn't wait for Shangguan Jinghong to say anything, so he guessed, "I guess it's about the Leng family, right? Don't worry, no matter what the Leng family does, I promise you that I will never hurt the life of the Leng family."

Shangguan Jinghong was slightly relieved: "Okay, since the emperor said so, then I agree, but there is one more thing, the emperor wants permission."

Zhao Tianjing frowned: "Say it."

"I'm going to take someone in."

"who is it?"

Shangguan Jinghong exhaled: "Chu Xuan."

Zhao Tianjing was a little pensive when he heard the words, and said after a long time: "I can promise, but you must also promise me that you must take back that thing."

Shangguan Jinghong heard what Zhao Tianjing mentioned many times, what exactly was it: "Your Majesty, what exactly is it?"

"Longquan sword."

"Longquan sword?"

Zhao Tianjing sighed: "This Longquan sword is the precious sword of the royal family. It is not only a symbol of power, but also the lifeblood of my royal family." In fact, Zhao Tianjing did not tell the truth. When the ancestor Zhao Zhongtian was in power, he established a mysterious team, all composed of masters from all walks of life, a total of [-] people, called Longwei, and the leader of Longwei's government was an innate master who could rival Wei Xianzhong, and the people under his command All are half-step innate realm, this mysterious only obeys the orders of the Longquan Sword, in the past Zhao Zhongtian encountered a two masters fighting in the secret realm, although they were killed in the end, it is a pity that the Longquan Sword was also lost in the secret realm, since then No one can command this Dragon Guard. Zhao Tianjing heard the news from his ancestors, and he wanted to retrieve the Longquan Sword and restart the Dragon Guard all the time.

Shangguan Jinghong didn't know the reason for this, although he felt that what Zhao Tianjing said was far-fetched, he didn't ask further: "Alright, please tell me, Your Majesty, how does the Longquan Sword look like, so I can look for it."

Zhao Tianjing nodded, turned around and took a painting: "This painting is the Longquan sword, Jinghong, this time I will entrust you."

Shangguan Jinghong took the painting, nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I will try my best to find it."

"Okay, since that's the case, let's go back and prepare."

After leaving the palace, Shangguan Jinghong was about to go to Wanbao Pavilion to have a look, but was stopped by An Yunshan: "Brother Shangguan, stop."

Shangguan Jinghong stopped and looked at An Yunshan with a smile: "Brother An, what's the matter?"

An Yunshan sighed: "Brother Shangguan, I have something to ask, let's take a step to talk."

Shangguan Jinghong was puzzled, but he still followed An Yunshan. He followed An Yunshan all the way to his residence, and couldn't help but said again: "Brother An, what's the matter?"

An Yunshan breathed a sigh of relief, but knelt down in front of Shangguan Jinghong. Shangguan Jinghong hurriedly stepped aside to help An Yunshan: "Brother, if there is anything, just say it, it doesn't have to be like this."

"Brother Shangguan doesn't know, this time guarding the secret realm, you are facing experts from all walks of life. I know very well that many of them are superior to me. Even with Wei Xianzhong around, I'm afraid I won't be able to be thorough. I, An Yunshan, are not afraid of death, but my wife and children are really worried, my brother begs you to take my son as a disciple, take care of my son sooner or later, so I can rest assured."

Shangguan Jinghong smiled: "What am I supposed to do, Brother An, if your son has learned my martial arts, he will naturally be my apprentice."

An Yunshan immediately felt relieved: "Brother Shangguan, I feel relieved with your words. Hey, my son has been plagued by strange diseases since he was a child. As a father, I am really ashamed." An Yunshan looked up at the sky and sighed In one breath: "Brother Shangguan, I know you are definitely not a thing in the pond. Sooner or later you will soar into the sky. My wife and children will be entrusted to you, brother."

Shangguan Jinghong left An Yunshan's residence, and couldn't get better. He arrived at Wanbao Pavilion in a trance, Qin Zheng greeted Shangguan Jinghong immediately when he saw Shangguan Jinghong: "My lord, are you here?"

Shangguan Jinghong nodded: "Old Qin, did you arrange for the person I sent a while ago?"

Qin Zheng smiled: "My lord, don't worry, all the girls in the rain have been sent to Chu Xuan."

"That's good, Mr. Qin, I have something to do this time, I'm afraid I need you to go for a while." Shangguan Jinghong said with a serious face.

Qin Zheng, seeing Shangguan's frightened face, immediately knew that it must be an urgent matter: "Young master ordered, get rid of this old bone, and the son's affairs will be properly completed."

Shangguan Jinghong waved his hand: "Mr. Qin, don't be nervous, it's not that serious. Does Mr. Qin know about the Leng family?"

Qin Zheng was stunned for a moment: "The Leng family you are talking about is..."

"Yan Leng Yuanyun's Leng family."

Qin Zheng was startled when he heard the words: "I have heard that it is one of the four great aristocratic families in ancient times."

"I want Mr. Qin to go to Leng's house." As he spoke, he took out the sign Leng Lingfeng had given him from his bosom, and handed it to Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng respectfully took the sign and looked at it, he was quite surprised: "Master is Leng's family?"

Shangguan Jinghong shook his head: "My wife is from the Leng family, this time, please invite Mr. Qin to visit the Leng family, and tell them about the secret realm of the royal family, so that they can avoid killing as much as possible, and you must meet the head of the Leng family in person to tell them. "

"Imperial Secret Realm?!" Qin Zheng exclaimed.

Shangguan Jinghong nodded: "By the way, I still need to tell them that Peng Anyu and the two priests of An Yunshan Palace are my friends, so let them be merciful."

Qin Zhengqiang suppressed the shock in his heart: "Don't worry, young master, I will definitely bring the words to you."

Shangguan Jinghong stood up and said, "Okay, Mr. Qin will go in person, I feel relieved, I will go to Mr. Chu's side, and this time I will let him go to the secret realm with me." After speaking, he disappeared in a flash hall.

When he came to the small valley outside the city, he saw a small pavilion rising from the ground. Shangguan Jinghong not only flashed a smile, but then went up to the loft, but was stopped by a woman: "Who is it?"

Just as Shangguan Jinghong was about to speak, Luo Yu appeared: "My lord, you are here."

Seeing the great improvement in Luo Yu's martial arts, which he hadn't seen for many days, he nodded and asked, "Luo Yu, is Mr. Chu there?"

"Yes, I will lead you there."

On the attic, Chu Xuan said impatiently: "Didn't I say don't disturb me?" The moment he turned around, he saw the smiling Shangguan Jinghong, and immediately bowed to salute: "My lord, why are you here?"

Shangguan Jinghong said: "Luoyu, you go first." Random Chu Xuan said: "Old Chu, how is it? The job I gave you is not bad, right?"

Chu Xuan laughed: "My lord, not to mention that I have taken on a few small jobs, and the people you sent are really good, even that old servant who is so tall can't compare to himself."

Shangguan Jinghong nodded, and Chu Xuan immediately thought that Shangguan Jinghong would not come here for nothing: "My lord, are you here on business this time?"

"Yes, Mr. Chu, have you heard of the royal secret realm?"

Just like Qin Zheng, Chu Xuan was taken aback: "My lord, the secret realm of the royal family has always been in the hands of the royal family, why..."

Shangguan Jinghong stood with his hands behind his back: "Are you interested in accompanying me into the secret realm?"

Chu Xuan swallowed: "My lord, what you said is true? You're not joking, are you?"

Shangguan Jinghong didn't answer, but continued to ask: "You just said whether to go or not?"

"Go, why don't you go, I heard that the royal secret realm is full of treasures, I must go."

"Okay, tomorrow morning, wait for me outside the palace." After finishing speaking, Shangguan was startled and floated away, leaving only Chu Xuan with an expectant face.
