Star Sea Hunter

The resplendent and resplendent palace is one layer after another, and the corridor paved with bright yellow crystal floor tiles stretches to the end of the line of sight, as if it will never end!

On both sides of the corridor, at intervals of 20 meters, stood two high-ranking supernatural beings dressed in heavy golden light armor and fully armed. Behind those high palace walls, rockeries, waterfalls, and attics, there were still many secrets. And a powerful aura pervaded, even the court lady in yellow who led the way was a hidden and powerful figure!It can be seen that this seemingly peaceful imperial palace is actually a heavily guarded fortress!

Along the way, at least hundreds of domineering, soft, obscure, or sharp energy auras swept across his body!The owner of these breaths is obviously very interested in his state, and extremely horrified!I have never heard of such a young twelfth-level supernatural power before!

"Your Majesty is in the pavilion in front, go there by yourself!" After walking for a while, the female officer stopped in front of a beautiful lake, turned around and said to him.

The surface of the lake is like a mirror, and the clear water is as clear as a piece of flawless emerald.In the very center of the lake is an exquisite and elegant pavilion, connected to the shore by a long wooden bridge.Fang Xu was pouring himself a drink inside.

"Thank you!" He nodded and walked towards the bridge.

When the palace guards on the bank saw him coming, they didn't interrogate him, probably because they had been ordered in advance.

"Are you here?" Fang Xu turned his head slightly, looked at the young general who walked in, with a faint smile on his face.

Raising his hand to stop him who was about to salute, he pointed to the stone bench opposite and said, "Sit down and talk!"

Yun Haoyu did as he said, and sat down on the stool. Fang Xu looked at this young man with a calm face and clear eyes, and the appreciation in his eyes became stronger!

"Have you rested well at home?" He smiled, "I called you here this time just to have a chat, you don't have to be too restrained!"

He raised his hand to hold the wine bottle in front of him, but found that it had already bottomed out.Yun Haoyu hurriedly took the silver jug ​​beside him and filled a bottle for him.

"Okay, you can try it too! This is a treasure of the royal family, the heavenly dew nectar, which was brewed by a prince who loves things in the cup 2000 years ago!" Fang Xu picked up the wine bottle and slightly gestured to him .

After Yun Haoyu took a wine bottle and filled it up, he picked it up and touched him lightly, then drank it all in one gulp.As soon as the clear wine enters the mouth, I feel a sense of icy coolness instantly spread over the limbs and bones, the pores of the whole body suddenly tighten, and then loosen again, as if the whole body and mind have been cleansed, and it is indescribably refreshing.

"It really is good wine!" He exclaimed, "And this wine vessel is also very good!"

Fang Xu smiled and said: "This set of wine utensils is carved from a whole piece of ice rhinoceros jade, and it was also made by the prince! It is indeed a good collection! If you like it, I will give it to you, and I will give you a few more. Altar wine, take it back together later!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" He hastily got up to pay tribute.

After a pause, he smiled and asked again: "Your Majesty is really a master of wine tasting. No wonder he can brew such a peerless wine! I wonder if he has retained this habit of brewing wine himself after he ascended the throne?"

"I'm talking about the crown prince, not the emperor!" Fang Xu said calmly, slowly playing with the wine bottle in his hand.

He was slightly stunned: "Isn't the prince the future emperor? Yes, this prince died young, so he failed to succeed?"

"Who said that the prince will definitely become the emperor?" Fang Xu's voice was still flat.

Yun Haoyu's heart was awe-inspiring, at this time, no matter how dull he was, he could still hear what His Majesty meant!Reminiscent of some movements in the court in the past few days, he has already guessed that today's summoning will not be as simple as just tasting wine and chatting!

But there is one thing that he still doesn't understand. This His Majesty does not seem to be very old, he is in the prime of life, and he has never heard of any serious illness.If there is no accident, within 50 years, the imperial government and the public will not have to consider this issue at all!Why now, a group of officials suddenly jumped out to boo?

Besides, this kind of matter is the emperor's family matter after all, if foreign ministers are involved too deeply, it will definitely be a disaster!He didn't think he would be an exception either!Of course, it is even more impossible to take the initiative to get involved.

So, wisely, he didn't speak anymore, just sat upright, quietly waiting for His Majesty's next words.

Fang Xu took a look at his expression, how could he not understand what he was thinking?He couldn't help smiling and said: "You don't have to be nervous, what I said to you today is just a chat, there will be no recording, and there will be no records for archiving! You can just speak freely!"

"You already know what happened outside! I just want to know, what do you think of those people?"

"Your Majesty, no matter what, I am not qualified to discuss this matter!" He said cautiously, "I am a subject of the empire, and what I defend is the interests of the empire! No matter who your Majesty chooses in the future, I will swear allegiance! Two hearts!"

"I told you to say it, what are you worried about?" Fang Xu said displeasedly, "Could it be that he is invincible on the battlefield, and a genius who is not afraid of countless Borosto people! He dare not even say a few words after returning home Is it? Where is your courage?"

In desperation, Yun Haoyu thought for a moment, and carefully said his words: "If the empire was in a time of peace, then these few people can be considered; but now, the empire is in a troubled time, with the influence of aristocratic families inside, and the star sea countries outside. Not to mention those old civilizations with their own calculations, and the Borosto people who came back decades later!"

"For the continuation of the country and the well-being of trillions of people, the future empire must be led by a monarch who is capable and prestige enough to convince the public!"

"It makes sense!" Fang Xu nodded slightly, "Then, among these few sons of mine, which one do you think meets the standard you mentioned? In other words, who do you prefer to follow in the future? "

"In terms of ability and prestige, these highnesses are not enough!" Looking at Fang Xu's face, he said cautiously: "His highness Fang Yukun is much stronger in this respect, but he is not from your majesty. In the upper ranks, the situation in the court will inevitably change greatly, and it is not suitable! In addition, there are a few others, who are either underage, or have different qualifications and temperaments! None of them are candidates for great positions!"

"Could it be that the current empire can't find a satisfactory crown prince?" Fang Xu said with a half-smile, "I can't see, your vision is quite high! You can't even look down on any of the children of the royal family? "

Yun Haoyu only felt chills in the back of his heart, and gritted his teeth: "There is another one who fully meets the standards mentioned by the minister! It is the third princess, His Highness Fang Yuqing!"

As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly cooled down.

Fang Xu closed his eyes slightly, and remained silent, showing no emotion.

Yun Haoyu stared at her emperor innocently, and said in her heart that you asked me to speak, and I have said everything I can say now, so don't become angry from embarrassment, just turn your face on the spot!

"Her body contains half of the blood of the Bojiang clan!" After a long silence, Fang Xu's voice sounded again.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly said: "But she is also born of His Majesty, and she also has His Majesty's blood in her body! Moreover, in Yichen's view, blood is not a problem! Ability is the most important thing! Her Royal Highness's ability and military exploits are all important. Nothing to say! I am fully qualified to take on the important task of leading the empire!"

"You put it simply! Those old guys don't think so!" Fang Xu sighed, "At the beginning, in order to make her a princess, a few old antiques in the royal family dared to play a hunger strike to protest against me! What about royal blood? No confusion! Hey! How ridiculous!"

"Why don't they understand the dangerous situation that the empire will face in the next few decades? If an incompetent person really takes over, the empire will become the second Gadley Federation!"

Speaking of this, he leaned slightly, stared at him and said: "If I really chose her! There must be raging opinions in the government and the public, and even the most loyal courtiers may not agree with my decision! For the stability of the overall situation, I will also There has to be a compromise!"

Yun Haoyu stood up, and replied solemnly: "No matter what others think, I will definitely support His Majesty's decision!"

Fang Xuting nodded lightly, and asked again: "I heard that those people have come to look for you?"

"Yes, but the minister...all rejected!"

"Fang Yanren still has abilities, but he just likes to have fun, and his private life is a bit messy! If he honed it well, he might be able to make a difference!" He said slowly, "Qing might as well walk around with him more and give him advice. !"

Does that count as a statement?Yun Haoyu was a little puzzled, and replied, "Yes, I will follow His Majesty's orders!"

"Okay, let's talk about your errand arrangements now!" Fang Xuting no longer dwelled on this topic, "Marshal Limasson is seriously injured, and his ability has declined significantly! He is no longer qualified for the position of director of the supernatural army! There are also two deputy officers, but unfortunately they have already died in battle! Only then can I successfully promote you!"

"I am very happy to hand over this person to you, but you are still too young after all! If you do this, those old guys will inevitably nagging in my ears again! Pick a member to take over this position, of course, he has been retreating and cultivating all year round! He may not have much time to come out to take care of things, so you, the deputy, will take more care of you!"

The meaning of these words is obvious, that is, the title cannot be given to him, but the real power has fallen into his hands. From now on, he will be the supreme commander of hundreds of supernatural legions in the empire!

"Your Majesty's arrangement is reasonable, and I have no objection!" He replied gratefully.

"I've talked to you so much today. You just need to understand some things in your heart. Don't let them know! In short, you just need to do your own thing well. No matter what kind of troubles you have, I will take care of them for you! "Fang Xu said finally.

The monarch and his minister chatted for a while, and Fang Xu finally signaled that he could step back.

Before leaving, Fang Xu suddenly said: "If there is anything and it is not convenient to come to me, go to Fang Yuqing! Besides me, the person you can trust the most is her!"
