The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Chapter 362: Lie at gunpoint
The Daxuan Palace occupies one-third of the entire Shuntian City. The palace stretches out and rises, towering and majestic, and looks extremely majestic.

Fang Xun and his companion, who were on their way to court, also met Tie Wuxin on the way, and they traveled together.

Tie Wuxin kept reminding the two of some precautions, fearing that they were young and reckless and might inadvertently break taboos.

Fang Xun's identity was very special. He was just the husband of the King of Yue and was not qualified to participate in the court meeting. However, this time someone from the palace was sent to specially summon him, which made him have some guesses in his mind.

"Could it be that the emperor also wants to use me as an excuse to make a fuss?"

Along the way, Fang Xun's thoughts were racing, and he met many officials who had also entered the palace.

After seeing this unfamiliar face, many eyes came at him, including friendly, scrutinizing, and observing.

Before they knew it, Fang Xun and Yu Jiaolong finally arrived at the main hall.

On the top step, I saw a huge dragon throne, which was twelve steps high.

The civil and military officials below stood in an orderly manner waiting for the emperor's arrival.

The Six Gates are located relatively forward, with Tie Wuxin standing at the first position, and those standing near the Six Gates are all military officers.

Fang Xun and Yu Jiaolong were standing farther away from Tie Wuxin, in the team of the Daxuan clan.

At the front are several princes who are most likely to inherit the throne, as well as six vassal kings.

Fang Xun took advantage of Yu Jiaolong's help and stood behind him.

Despite the obscure gazes, his expression remained calm and he was also observing the other people in the hall.

At a glance, one can see that among the civil and military officials in the hall, none of them are born with talent or acquired talent, and at the very least, they are all Yin gods!
Among them, there are five powerful men in the Zhenwu Realm in the front row!
Two of them are the chief constable of the Six Gates, Tie Wuxin, and the director of the Imperial Observatory, Zhen Yangzi, and there are three others.

The two of them belonged to the military and the clan office respectively, and the last one was the King of Chu standing next to Yu Jiaolong.

Seeing the five Zhenwu Realm powerhouses in the hall, Fang Xun was amazed and marveled at Daxuan's background.

There were four Zhenwu realm masters who came to the court, and there were also some who did not attend the court, such as the generals guarding the border troops, and strong men who were practicing in secret places and did not want to show up in front of others.

This kind of strength is enough to make all forces in the world breathless.

"It is estimated that only a united force like Black Water Abyss can compete with Daxuan."

As his thoughts raced, Fang Xun's eyes turned one by one.

When he met several princes in front of him, they seemed to have sensed something and turned their heads slightly to look at him.

When their eyes met, several of them smiled and nodded to show their friendliness, even the Third Prince whose subordinate Liu Yunyang was killed by him was no exception.

Upon seeing this, Fang Xun nodded slightly in response, and then their eyes separated and he looked at the figure standing at the head of the line of civil officials.

He looked to be no more than 40 years old, with a calm and solemn face, giving people a rigid and upright feeling.

As if she had noticed Fang Xun's gaze, she tilted her head slightly and glanced at him.

"Prime Minister Wei Qingping was born into the Yongzhou Wei Family, one of the thirty-six great families. The Wei Family seems to be relatively close to the Academy of Scholars."

Wei Qingping just glanced at him and then looked away. His eyes were calm and no one knew what he was thinking.

Everyone in the hall stood there quietly waiting, and in less than a moment, a figure in a bright yellow robe slowly entered the hall.

Behind him was an eunuch with a white beard, wearing white boots, dark clothes and a small belt, following him respectfully.

Fang Xun's breathing paused when he saw the two new people entering the hall.

'There are two more Zhenwu realm masters. This person must be the current emperor, Wan Haoren. He has also broken through to Zhenwu, and there is also the eunuch beside him! '

As soon as Wan Haoren entered the hall, he suddenly looked at him with a hint of curiosity and scrutiny.

This made Fang Xun's heart tremble. Not only did every hair on his body stand up, but he also got goose bumps all over his body.

Fortunately, the other party just glanced at him casually and then looked away, which made Fang Xun relax a little.

"Long live my emperor, long live my emperor!"

In an instant, all the other civil and military officials in the hall bowed in salute, and Fang Xun also quickly followed suit.

Amid the cheers of all officials, Wan Haoren slowly sat down on the twelve-step high throne.

In the court, only the palace maids and eunuchs knelt down, while the officials just bowed their heads to pay their respects.

Since ancient times, there has been no relevant etiquette for officials to attend court.

The lowest among them are the Yin God Grandmasters, there are also quite a few Yang God Grandmasters, and there are five in the Zhenwu realm. It is impossible for the emperor to force these masters and land immortals to kneel down and salute him.

While bowing, Fang Xun was secretly sizing up the Great Mysterious Emperor. Wan Haoren looked very young, not even a young man, but his eyes were extremely sharp and full of domineering aura, making people bow their heads unconsciously when they looked into his eyes.

His Majesty the Emperor is over a hundred years old this year. After breaking through the Zhenwu realm, he has another thousand years of life and his power has reached its peak.

Looking at the civil and military officials who were bowing, Wan Haoren raised his hand and said, "No need to bow, everyone."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

All officials stood up with solemn expressions.

Slowly sweeping his eyes across the hall, Wan Haoren said, "The first thing to be discussed in today's court is the reward for Fang Xun of Jiangzhou."

In an instant, many people in the crowd were moved, but they still listened attentively with solemn faces and did not dare to interrupt rashly.

"This matter should have had a conclusion a year ago, but even now that he has come to the palace, there is still no explanation. My dear ministers, do you have anything to say?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tie Wuxin stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, during Fang Xun's tenure at the Six Gates of Jiangzhou, he made many great contributions, and later he uncovered the case of Wangqing Dao Zhen Yunzi seizing the body of Yue Wangfu's prince Wan Zhaohua, and prevented his conspiracy from succeeding.

If such merits are not rewarded, it may discourage people's hearts!"

In an instant, many people in the hall nodded.

Not to mention Fang Xun's contribution in the Black Water Abyss case, just exposing Zhen Yunzi was a great achievement.

The matter concerns the Nine Dragons and Eight Wastelands Formation. If Zhen Yunzi really succeeds, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Wan Haoren also nodded, but the next moment, an official suddenly stepped out and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I have something to say!"

"Oh, what does Lord Wang think about this?"

Fang Xun's eyes suddenly turned cold and he turned to look at the person named by Wan Haoren.

He has a mature and steady face, and a hint of handsomeness.

'Minister of Rites Wang Zunli!'

In an instant, not only Fang Xun, but others also looked at him, including Yu Jiaolong, the Six Gates and some military personnel, all with unfriendly eyes.

This made Wang Zunli's face change slightly, but he still said it with gritted teeth.

"Your Majesty, I think this is extremely inappropriate."

"Wang Zunli, you guys have evil intentions, and you've come to me, the Six Gates, to suppress dissidents?"

Tie Wuxin's eyes suddenly became deep, causing Wang Zunli's scalp to tingle.

When Fang Xun saw this, his eyes suddenly brightened and he roughly understood what was going on.

"It turns out that there is a faction that is not on good terms with the Six Gates. I just happened to show up at this time and became the target of criticism. They used my case to divert their attention to the Six Gates."

At this time, Wang Zunli was in a difficult situation.

However, their real target of attack was Tie Wuxin. But who would have thought that once Tie Wuxin broke through the Zhenwu realm, not only his power but also his voice would greatly increase.

What Wang Zunli and his party did not expect was that not only did Tie Wuxin break through the Zhenwu realm, but something unexpected also happened to Fang Xun.

Fang Xun, who was chosen as the target, had just broken through to the Yin God realm not long ago. Everyone thought that he had potential but no real strength or background.

But who could have thought that Fang Xun's strength would soar so rapidly afterwards, and in a short period of time he even killed two Yangshen Grandmasters and became the second on the human list.

And after entering the capital this time and entering the royal secret place, he will most likely break through to the Yang God!
It would be fine if it was just the other party's personal strength, but God knows what happened, the other party suddenly got married to Jade Jiaolong. All of a sudden, he is no longer a pawn with no background that they can manipulate at will!

Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. No matter whether it is the real target Tie Wuxin or the dispensable Fang Xun in the past, they are both a headache.

But it is too late to show weakness and change his words now. Others can still pretend nothing happened, but Wang Zunli, the person who was pushed out and first criticized Fang Xun, can only go all the way to the end.

As long as one of him and Fang Xun is not completely defeated, this matter will not be over!
But now, facing the gaze of a Zhenwu strongman, Wang Zunli's scalp numbed, and his heart felt like a huge mountain was pressing down on him, and he couldn't say the words that were on his lips.

Just then Wan Haoren suddenly spoke.

"Okay, Mr. Tie, don't be anxious. Let Mr. Wang finish what he has to say first."

Tie Wuxin snorted coldly and said nothing more. Wang Zunli then felt relieved and was finally able to speak.

He felt ruthless in his heart, looked directly at Fang Xun and asked in a deep voice.

"Fang Xun, in front of all the nobles in the court and His Majesty, do you dare to tell us what the relationship between you and Quezhou Yifandu is?!"
