Supreme Return

Chapter 164 Father and son enter the palace, Qian Ming's news
"Zhou Wu sees His Majesty, sees Empress Empress!"

In the morning of the next day, when Zhou Wu and Zhou Ming who were called into the palace saw Zhao Qingtian and Feng Xiu, they immediately knelt down and saluted.

Being able to meet the Lord of the Qingyun Empire, the father and son were extremely excited.

Even though they are known as great benevolent people as the owners of Zhoujiazhuang, to be precise, they are still just common people.

"Master Zhou and his nephew please hurry up!"

Zhao Qingtian personally went over to help the two of them up, and said with a smile, "We are all a family, so there is no need to be so rigid! A brat like Xuan'er, every time he enters the palace, he doesn't have any etiquette at all! Just be as casual as a family! "

"That's right, Master Zhou, there's no need to be formal!" Empress Feng Xiu also smiled gently.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Madam!"

The two father and son straightened up, and sat on the chair next to Zhao Qingtian amidst Zhao Qingtian's laughter.

But they were still a little excited and restrained, but it was better than before. After all, Zhao Qingtian and Feng Xiu's attitude towards them was indeed very kind.

"You guys... come here, serve tea!"

Zhao Qingtian shook his head, dumbfounded, and ordered the maid to serve tea, signaling that Zhou's father and son are welcome.

"Master Zhou..."

Feng Xiu smiled softly, causing Zhou Wu to hastily put down his teacup, put his hands on his lap, and replied respectfully, "The villain is here!"

"You don't have to be polite, just look at you..."

Feng Xiu said softly with a smile, "Your Majesty and I have always regarded Xuan'er as our own. Your daughter Lan'er is also Xuan'er's approved wife, so we are also considered in-laws! It is not necessary to invite you into the palace today." other meaning..."

"For one thing, we really want to meet you, a well-known and benevolent person, and it is because of people like you that we have avoided countless disasters! Your Majesty and I are very grateful to you!"

Feng Xiuru said, and Zhou Wu hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, you are serious! I am only doing what I can, and I should not be praised like this!"

"You don't have to be polite! We have seen everything you have done over the years!"

Feng Xiu smiled and waved her hands, and continued, "The second thing is the most important point! As in-laws, we also want to meet you! We thank Master Zhou for raising such an excellent daughter!"

"Lan'er being appreciated by His Majesty and Your Majesty is a blessing that our Zhou family has cultivated in several lifetimes!" Zhou Wu replied modestly.

"That's because Lan'er is very good herself, and we like it very much! When Xuan'er and Lan'er get married, His Majesty will definitely prepare a big gift!" Feng Xiu said with a smile.

"Yep!"

Zhao Qingtian also nodded repeatedly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhou Wu bowed and saluted.

"Prince Chu is here!"

At this moment, there was a loud shout from outside the door, and Chu Xuan's father, King Chu Xiaotian, walked in quickly from outside, and Zhou Wu, Zhou Ming and his father also stood up hastily.

It is not an exaggeration to describe the status of the King of Chu as "king side by side" within the Qingyun Empire.

At least one-third of the great mountains and rivers in the Qingyun Empire were brought down by the King of Chu!
In the past, the saying of "the master's achievements are high" is useless to Zhao Qingtian and Chu Xiaotian, who are sworn brothers.

Even after so many years, they are still like brothers.

If it weren't for this, the Chu king's rebellion that Qian Yong secretly ordered people to spread rumors last time made people panic, but Zhao Qingtian and Feng Xiu didn't have any doubts about Chu Xiaotian, and they didn't even have any intention of being held accountable!

Can there be such a holy family, who else in the whole world?
"Your Majesty, empress..."

Seeing Zhou Wu, Zhou Ming and his son present, Chu Xiaotian bowed politely.

"Prince, what are you doing?"

Zhao Qingtian said angrily, "This is not an outsider! You have been busy with official duties recently, maybe you haven't had the chance to meet our in-laws yet?"

"Ok!"

Chu Xiaotian nodded lightly, and said with a smile, "I haven't had time to go back to the house these few days, so I couldn't visit Zhuang Zhuang after he was assassinated. Please forgive me, Zhuang Zhu! This is my nephew Zhou Ming, he is really a good-looking talent! "

"I've seen the prince!" Zhou's father and son hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"You two are welcome! As Brother Huang said, we are also in-laws, and we will naturally be a family from now on!" Chu Xiaotian raised his hand with a smile, and sat down opposite Zhou Wu and Zhou Ming.

Compared to these two, Chu Xiaotian seemed extremely natural.

"Emperor Brother, did you just say that Master Zhou was assassinated?" Zhao Qingtian suddenly asked at this moment.

"Yes, Brother Huang! I also heard Xuan'er mention it before entering the palace, but I don't know exactly what happened!" Chu Xiaotian nodded and replied.

"How dare you!"

Zhao Qingtian was furious when he heard the words, and immediately turned his head to Zhou Wu and asked, "Master Zhou, what's going on? Has the assassin been found?"

"Returning to His Majesty, we have already found it, and the matter has been completely closed!" Zhou Wu replied.

"That's good! If there is anything, you can just speak up!" Zhao Qingtian said again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhou Wu nodded gratefully.

Immediately afterwards, they talked about their parents for a while, and they also got to know each other a little bit better, which especially made Zhou Wu and Zhou Ming and his son feel the love of Zhao Qingtian as the emperor, Feng Xiu as the empress, and Chu Xiao as the king of Chu. The kind attitude of the three of them did not show any sense of superiority at all, as if they were really a family chatting, which made their father and son sigh, and they were more concerned about the matter between Chu Xuan and Zhou Lan. A little confidence.

Originally, Zhou Wu was somewhat worried that his daughter would receive a lot of unfair treatment or grievances after being with Chu Xuan, the heir of King Chu.

But after this small talk, he was completely relieved.

Zhou Lan has indeed found a good husband-in-law and a good husband-in-law!

…………

At noon, Zhou Wu and Zhou Ming were left in the palace for a meal. Prince Zhao Ran, who had finished handling the government affairs in the morning, came to accompany him in person. As for Princess Mingyue, Zhao Wan was also by Feng Xiu's side, and she could be regarded as a real family. met.

Then, accompanied by Zhao Qingtian and Chu Xiaotian, they visited some special scenic spots in the palace, which moved the father and son even more.

However, before the Royal Garden was finished, a middle-aged guard came to Zhao Qingtian's side quickly with a dignified expression, and said something in a low voice, which caused Zhao Qingtian's expression to change suddenly, and there was something in his eyes. Visible leaps of anger.

"Brother Huang, what's the matter?" Chu Xiaotian asked with a frown.

"Your Majesty, my lord..."

At this time, Zhou Wu said in a timely manner, "Since you have important matters to deal with, let's take our leave first!"

"I'm sorry, my in-laws! I'll have someone send you out!"

Zhao Qingtian smiled apologetically, and ordered Zhou Wu and Zhou Ming to be sent away. Then he said to Chu Xiaotian, "Little brother, let's go and sit down and talk!"

Chu Xiaotian nodded, followed Zhao Qingtian to sit down in a pavilion not far away, and watched him calmly drink away everyone except the middle-aged guard who reported the news. There are only three of them left.

"Brother, let me introduce you..."

Zhao Qingtian pointed at the middle-aged guard and said, "This man is the leader of my bodyguard on the surface, but he is one of the three captains of the Dark Dragon Guard. This time, he sent back a News about the Ziyan Empire!"

"Oh?"

Chu Xiaotian was stunned, and his eyes were a little puzzled, "Could it be that the Ziyan Empire committed crimes again?"

"It's not! But it's much more serious than these!"

Zhao Qingtian took a deep breath, slammed the table with his clenched fist, and said angrily, "According to the accurate information sent by the Dark Dragon Guard, Qian Ming, the son of Qian Yong, has been admitted to the palace of the Ziyan Empire, and It seems highly likely that many of our military secrets have been betrayed!"

"Brother Huang, wait a minute... are you talking about Qian Ming? Wasn't he rescued by the people from the Soul Refining Palace? Then Xuan'er led people to destroy the Soul Refining Palace. Could it be that he was still allowed to escape and go to the Ziyan Empire? "

Chu Xiaotian frowned and organized his thoughts, and his tone became more serious.

"Good! Exactly!"

Zhao Qingtian nodded lightly, and then said in surprise, "Xuan'er didn't tell you about these things? No way?"

"Basically, that brat won't talk to me about these things! And I've been too busy recently..." Chu Xiaotian smiled wryly.

"You..."

Zhao Qingtian also shook his head helplessly, and immediately ordered to the middle-aged guard, "What's the specific situation?"

"Your Majesty, I don't know the details, but since Qian Ming came out of the Ziyan Imperial Palace, he was arranged in an extremely luxurious mansion, and there are countless servants serving him! According to our people in the Ziyan Imperial Palace According to the information, it seems that Qian Ming not only betrayed military secrets, but also promised some conditions to the Empress of the Ziyan Empire, which made the Empress look at him differently, and even..."

At this point, the tone of the middle-aged guard suddenly paused, and then he smiled wryly, "There are even some untrue news, saying that Qian Ming has become the guest of the empress of the Ziyan Empire!"

"Uh……"

Hearing this, Zhao Qingtian and Chu Xiaotian were stunned.

Although the empress of the Ziyan Empire came to the throne a few years ago, she was indeed very young, around 30 years old, but how could she fall in love with Qian Ming?

Could it be that they really love each other?
A Qian Ming, is it worth the empress of the Ziyan Empire to pay so much attention to it?

It should be known that once Qian Ming really became the queen's man, wouldn't that bring endless troubles to the Qingyun Empire?

With Qian Ming's pissing nature, he will definitely find ways to avenge the Qian family, even at all costs.

"Is there any other news?" Zhao Qingtian asked.

"there is none left!"

"Okay, step back first! Remember, report any news immediately, even at night!"

"Yes! The villain retire!"

The middle-aged guard respectfully agreed, and gave Chu Xiaotian a deep salute, and then slowly retreated.

But at this moment, in this pavilion, the expressions of Zhao Qingtian and Chu Xiaotian are also extremely dignified.

If this news is true, Qingyun Empire and Ziyan Empire will face each other because of such a villain as Qian Ming, and the peace of more than ten years may be completely broken because of this...
