Chapter 416 Monarch and Minister
Although Emperor Jing was young, he was known to be majestic.

He walked slowly inside, and behind him, in addition to the general manager Yuan Ai and Yuan who was always following him, there were actually two old eunuchs with an undistinguished appearance following him.

Only a handful of people present knew what a presence these two were not to be underestimated.

Of course, this naturally includes Governor Bai Mengxian!
Bo Mengxian lived through three dynasties, and both of them served as officials in the dynasty during the two previous emperors' periods. Therefore, it was natural that he had heard about the rumored "Grand Eunuch" Zeng Yidu and "Second Eunuch" Zou Wuxie.

He even met them both in front of the late emperor.

However, unless there are special circumstances, these two people rarely appear in public, and they never accompany the emperor.

Bo Mengxian thought to himself: What kind of wind could actually bring these two big shots to the public?
Could it be the emperor's arrangement?
Following Emperor Jing's call, Bo Mengxian stood up together with everyone else. There was nothing strange on his face, but his heart was spinning.

With this posture, it seems that those who came today are not good, and the feast will not be a good one!
Bo Meng was puzzled. Who was His Majesty guarding against with such a huge battle?

The next moment, the doubts in his heart were answered!
Because just as everyone thanked them and took their seats, they heard the eunuch waiting outside the palace singing and shouting again:

"——The high priest of Shentai Palace has arrived!"

Oh open?

The high priest of Shentai Palace?
Has this person actually entered the palace?

As a result, everyone who had not yet had time to warm up their chairs stood up again and faced the outside of the hall.

As the graceful and immortal figure entered the hall, uniform and respectful greetings sounded again in the hall:

"Welcome to the high priest of Nanxu."

The emperor sat on the dragon chair at the top, supporting his face with the back of his hand with a half-smile, watching the man approaching slowly and lightly as if he were stepping on the clouds.

Zeng Yidu and Zou Wuxie's pupils shrank slightly.

It was really hard for them not to be nervous about the fact that the emperor asked them to accompany him to guard against the fact that he was the "Priest of the Divine Platform" among the three masters of the Immortal Realm in the world!
Even though they have been victorious in hundreds of battles, they still have no chance of winning in the face of this being who can absolutely crush all sentient beings!

But the emperor's order cannot be violated.

Even if they are already half-step top masters in the void realm, they are still born as domestic slaves of the royal heir.

However, it was obvious that the Nanxu High Priest had no intention of attacking them at this time.

He seemed to be amused by the silent tense in the palace. He was silent for a moment, and then suddenly smiled as brightly as the bright moon in the breeze.

"I have met His Majesty."

He nodded gently and saluted.

The high priest of Nanxu did not kneel down to worship the emperor, and he did not need to kneel down to worship the emperor.

However, Emperor Jing did not bother with such false etiquette. A flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he pretended to be surprised:
"I didn't expect that the high priest would come to my birthday banquet. I thought that because the high priest didn't like the mortal world and didn't like to leave the palace and go down the mountain, he probably didn't like to participate in such an occasion. So I just asked Guan On his birthday, he never sent anyone to alert the high priest."

Many courtiers and relatives of the emperor below looked at each other in shock after hearing this.

Your Majesty, what does this mean?
Does this mean that he didn’t even invite the Nanxu High Priest to his birthday party?
Is there something wrong with this?

Whether the High Priest of Nanxu comes or not is his business, but as the Imperial Master of the Southern Dynasty and the most powerful master in the world, His Majesty the Emperor doesn't even invite him. Doesn't it seem a bit rude?
Everyone was spinning their own calculations in their minds, and they couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Could it be that there is some disagreement between His Majesty and the High Priest of Nanxu?
I haven’t heard of this!

Everyone knows that the high priest of Nanxu is the senior brother of the "Thousand-year-old Sword Immortal". The two are the only direct disciples of the high priest Feng Zhi, and they have always had a close relationship.

And His Majesty is the only half-brother of the "Thousand-year-old Sword Immortal"!
Just based on the relationship between the high priest and the emperor, could it be possible to overturn the situation?
Only the Bai family and his son looked at each other with shock in their hearts!
what's the situation?
Could it be that the high priest of Nanxu knew something?
Could it be that he was not very respectful to His Majesty, so His Majesty was resentful and didn't even invite him to his birthday, and even asked two masters from Ouchi to protect him?
Bo Mengxian's hands hidden in his sleeves trembled slightly, and he suddenly couldn't sit still!
If the Nanxu High Priest really knew about "that thing", I'm afraid none of them, the "accomplices" who had added insult to injury and besieged and intercepted the "Thousand-year-old Sword Immortal", would be able to escape!
Don't look at the high priest of Nanxu who looks like a true immortal from this world, ruthless and without desires.

The more such a person is, the more turbulent it will be when they get angry!
It is said that the high priest of Nanxu was an orphan adopted by high priest Feng Zhi when he was still in his infancy.

High Priest Feng Zhi passed away a few years ago, and now only the "Priest of Shentai" and the "Thousand-year-old Sword Immortal", brother and sister, are left in the sect to depend on each other.

No matter how coldhearted this person is, and they conspired to kill his only junior sister, I'm afraid this matter will never end!
As for who was the one who finally bore the wrath of the Nanxu High Priest and died to pay for it, is there any need to say?
Bai Mengxian's heart felt cold!
The emperor had his own excuses. Whether the high priest of Nanxu believed it or not, as the high priest of Shentai Palace, he could not kill the king according to the ancestral teachings.

So the person who finally came out to take the blame, and who had the weight to take the blame, was not the Minghe Bai family?
Bai Lunqiao on the side was already sweating faintly on his forehead.

Obviously what Bo Meng thought of first, he also thought of!
Although Bai Rusong dealt with the aftermath of what happened back then properly and wiped out those who deserved to be extinguished and those who shouldn't be extinguished, there is no absolute in anything.
Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected!
Even if they took a foolproof plan, the fire could not be contained in the paper.

If His Majesty finally makes up his mind and insists on letting the Minghebai family bear the responsibility and notoriety of murdering the "Thousand-year-old Sword Immortal", then it is not an exaggeration to fear that their entire family will be destroyed!
He killed Princess Tianchen, who was popular among the people of the Tianchen Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty and had a high reputation among the people. She broke the "No. 1 Sword in the World" that was famous in the Qing Dynasty and made the martial arts heroes of the Southern Dynasty bow their heads!
——Under such heinous charges, even if the Nanxu High Priest doesn’t kill them, there are still people who want to kill them!
Then the problem is coming.

Does that mean that the high priest of Nanxu knows?

How much do you know?
Bai Mengxian secretly thought: Looking at the current posture, the high priest of Nanxu may not know the whole situation.

Otherwise, if he knew that the "Thousand-year-old Sword Immortal" was dead, how could he be so calm and kind?

The high priest of Nanxu smiled faintly and sat on the first seat next to Prince Xunyang.

Then, he tilted his head and smiled: "I shouldn't disturb His Majesty's birthday banquet.

But on the birthday of the goddess, as the high priest of Shentai Palace, I should not be absent. "

The meaning of this is very clear.

Emperor's birthday banquet?

Sorry, this high priest is not in the mood to attend.

But since the emperor said that you would celebrate your birthday with the goddess of Shentai Palace today, then this priest must be present!
