Chapter 865: A Friendly Meeting
"The emperor wants to see me?" Luo Feng pondered the expected news and nodded in agreement, "Then let's meet." ”
The jade toad real person on the side couldn't help but show a strange expression when he heard this tone as if he was going to meet an old friend.
Today's majesty is not a mediocre mortal, but a strong man in the merger period, whose talent is the highest one among the sons of heaven in the past dynasties, directly chasing the founding ancestor, if it is not for the busy political affairs delayed in practice, I am afraid that he has already advanced to the refining period.
Rao is like this, with the abundant treasures of the royal family and some of the legendary treasures that only the royal bloodline can use, its actual combat power is no less than that of the cultivators in the refining period, if it is not for such magical skills, how can it suppress the cultivation sects of the world, so that those grandmasters and great grandmasters who are above the top regard him as the Son of Heaven?
The position of power is one thing, and one's own cultivation is another, and the two are together, even if the Great Sect Master of Refining Void sees this Son of Heaven, he has to be cautious in his words and deeds, and he does not dare to let go of his form.
As the head of the Lingbao Sect of escapist cultivation, Jade Toad Zhenren asked himself that in the face of today's invitation, he would never dare to be slack, not to mention that the prince in front of him had humiliated the current prince a few days ago, it is said that the prince's mansion was destroyed by him, and many Jindan, Yuanying monks, and two combined grandmasters could not stop him from taking half a step, and watched him force the prince to swallow the forged letterhead.
Although this humiliation cannot be compared with the self-raising of the father who does not share the sky, it can be regarded as unforgettable, if it is replaced by a cultivator who is interested in the immortal path, I am afraid that I will fall into the demons, and unless I wash it, I will not be able to advance an inch in my life.
Although I occasionally heard the news that the prince and the Son of Heaven did not agree, but after all, he was his own son, he was so humiliated by outsiders, not mentioning blood kinship, just the royal face, it was enough for the Son of Heaven to pay tribute, this invitation, it was clear that there was no good banquet, where did he get the confidence, and he could still maintain such a relaxed mentality?
Or is he, as an ancient hidden sect monk, not knowing the power of today's son?
But it doesn't make sense, obviously a few days ago he was going to ask for a lot of information about the current world, and it was impossible not to ask about this matter.
Luo Feng saw the hidden worries of the Jade Toad Zhenren, but he didn't open his mouth to explain, because he was indeed fearless, and the source of this confidence was twofold.
One is that he didn't kill the three princes, but just humiliated him fiercely, maybe this humiliation is more difficult for a warrior to bear than death, but for those politicians who are aspiring to a career, it is not impossible to temper their hearts, and the most important thing is that if the person does not die, then it retains a buffer room, and it is easy to talk about it.
The second is that today's Son of Heaven is Mingjun, if it is a faint monarch, he may vent his feelings, regardless of the overall situation, but Mingjun will not, now it is a troubled time, the demon clan is invading, and it is necessary to unite the power of every human race, especially the strong people who need to win over the human race, and Luo Feng broke into the prince's mansion alone, so that a group of Keqing, who was not weak, became a foil, showing the strength of the great master of refining the void, proving that he is more valuable than those people combined, then Luo Feng is even more worthy of wooing.
Not to mention that the prince is not dead, even if he kills the prince, in order to increase his strength against the demon clan, today's Son of Heaven has to endure the heartache and befriend Luo Feng, the so-called gentleman can be bullied, which means the same thing.
Just by doing this, he touches the edge of the other party's bottom line, no matter how broad-minded the Son of Heaven is, it is impossible to really not care about an enemy who killed his son, even if he endures the pain for a while, he will also leave a secret for the overall situation in the future.
There is no life-and-death enmity between Luo Feng and the third prince, so he naturally pushes people to extremes for the sake of temporary pleasure and enmity, and he is not such a temperament, he has to take into account the overall situation - the incarnation of Luo San will do this.
On the other hand, Luo Feng also hoped that this way would attract the attention of the emperor, which would be faster and more impressive than any method of self-recommendation - although he had reached an agreement with the county lord of Mingxi, there was no reason to put all his eggs in one basket, not to mention that serving other princes was indeed a betrayal of the agreement, and serving the current son of heaven was not counted, the two were not competitive, and even the county lord of Mingxi hoped that Luo Feng could gain the emperor's trust and bring her benefits.
After planning and then acting, Luo Feng had no worries about this matter and calmly went to the appointment.
Luo Feng is not an official or a courtier, nor is he a famous powerhouse or the head of a cultivator, so the place to meet will naturally not be a place with a solemn atmosphere like the main hall lobby, but only a study in the palace, although it is very large, even larger than the entire mansion of ordinary people, but after all, it is only a study.
Luo Feng stepped into the study under the guidance of a eunuch with a long breath, only to see that the room was full of bookshelves, like a small library, and some places that are inconvenient for outsiders to snoop on are separated by screens, these screens are magic weapons, which can isolate the prying eyes of spiritual sense, although they can't stop a strong man of Luo Feng's strength, but if they want to send out spiritual snooping without being noticed, even Luo Feng needs to plan in advance to do it.
In the end, Luo Feng walked to a screen painted with the pattern of the gods worshipping the emperor, there was a person sitting there, wearing a dragon robe, wearing a crown, his appearance was somewhat similar to the three princes, but it was more majestic, and the lord of Mingxi was not very similar, his face had traces left by the wind and frost, with a sense of vicissitudes, his eyes were like torches, as if he could perceive people's hearts, if the three princes were still a little impetuous and lustful, his body was full of lead, carrying an indescribable sense of heaviness, like history, and like the country.
On the left side of the screen, there is a cushioned chair, a person sits on it, not groveling, nor domineering, his hair is light black and yellow, his appearance is ordinary, his age is indescribable, he is like an old man next door, and like a middle-aged man, wide robe with big sleeves, wearing a scarf, there is a splendid Wenhua condensed into an elegant atmosphere, his eyes are more intelligent than the Son of Heaven, sensing him, Luo Feng is like sensing the boundless universe, the void is deep, vast and broad, it is difficult to see the edge.
This is Li Shengjin, the imperial master of the dynasty, and one of the few remaining great masters of the human race, before the Demon Emperor came out, he ranked second in strength among many great grandmasters, and he once personally killed a great master of the demon clan of the same level.
"Ming Jun and Xianxiang, no wonder it can revive the empire, if it weren't for the chaos of demons...... It's a pity. ”
Luo Feng thought so much in his heart, his face was not revealed, his hands were not up or his knees, his body was upright, his eyes were hanging down, he was calm, his left thumb pinched the root of the ring finger of his right hand, and the thumb of his right hand pinched the middle finger of his right hand, and the remaining four fingers of his left hand hugged his right hand, bowed and bowed, but he was a joke, and people outside the square saw the worldly magnates, neither humble nor arrogant, and they didn't even take people to heart.
"Poor Dao Tianyuan, I have seen His Majesty, I have seen Taishi. ”
In this world, there is no Buddhism, no demons, and Confucianism, and people in practice are basically from Taoism, so even those who are on the left side of the door call themselves Taoists.
When the emperor heard this, his eyebrows raised slightly, he didn't know whether he was angry or annoyed, but suddenly turned to laughter, turned his head to look at the Taishi and said: "But I haven't been so polite for a long time, the last time I was the crown prince, after I ascended the throne, no one dared to treat me like this." ”
Li Shengjin held his short beard, smiled but did not speak, and was noncommittal.
These words sounded quite hostile, but Luo Feng looked at his nose, nose, mouth, and heart, and was unmoved.
"Daoist Tianyuan, you have given me a problem, Hongsheng came to me yesterday and cried for a while, it seems that he was bullied miserably. The Emperor smiled bitterly and said in an elder tone.
Luo Feng said: "A peck and a drink, it has already been decided, if it weren't for the luck of Poor Dao to see through the conspiracy, I am afraid that the meeting with His Majesty Xià will never be as friendly as today." ”
Hongsheng refers to the three princes, and Luo Feng made such a big fuss, thinking that it is impossible for this "Ming Jun" not to investigate the ins and outs of the matter, and the plan of the three princes is not clever, especially after the fact, it is not difficult to see through.
"Oh, you bullied my son, do I still want to be kind to you?" the Emperor's tone increased slightly, as if there were signs of anger, and an inexplicable pressure built up like a dark cloud before the storm.
Luo Feng was still the same calm: "Of course, before the demon clan retreated, I think His Majesty would always be very friendly to the poor road. ”
The emperor was silent, staring at Luo Feng tightly, and the atmosphere was stagnant, but the Taishi Li Shengjin was only smiling, and he didn't seem to be worried that the two would break out into conflict.
After a moment, the emperor smiled and nodded, "You are right, I am indeed happy to befriend the Dao Chief, Hongsheng is just a trivial matter, I hope the Dao Chief will not mind, and I hope this matter will end here." ”
Luo Feng bowed slightly, and the two reached a tacit understanding without saying a word, saying that they had revealed the matter.
The words were not speculative, the emperor did not say more, and after chatting a few meaningless polite words, he ordered someone to send Luo Feng out, only before leaving, he seemed to remember something, and advised: "Recently, the king may be a little uneasy, I hope that the Taoist can protect my grandson in Mingxi." ”
Luo Feng said: "This is a matter of course. ”
After he left, the emperor sighed leisurely, turned his head to Li Shengjin and said, "Taishi, the plan to kill the demon will be carried out as scheduled."
