I am the master of this world

Chapter 219 Huo Tianguang Treats Guests

The noble concubine in Qingchun Palace is named Xiao Mei, who belongs to the Xiao family.

Shen Ning has met a few times, this woman has a refined appearance, and a very good personality, she has a pure heart and a heart, and doesn't value power.

This may also be the reason why His Majesty dotes on her, it feels very relaxing to stay with her.

Among the four favorite concubines, Yang Xiuning came from the Yang family, and Xiao Mei came from the Xiao family, so these two had the highest status among the four favorite concubines, after all, their natal family was tyrannical.And with Concubine Yan Yang Xiuning being thrown into the cold palace, Xiao Mei temporarily takes charge of the palace affairs and will be promoted to imperial concubine at any time.

So there is nothing strange about His Majesty's stay in Qingchun Palace, but His Majesty's body needs to rest, so he often stays in his palace and lets the imperial concubine go to serve him.

Just when Shen Ning was slightly puzzled, Huo Tianguang said casually: "Today is a rare warm winter sun. Your Majesty has been bedridden for many days, and he is very energetic today, so he went to the Imperial Garden for a walk and went to Qingchun Palace on the way."

After hearing his explanation, Shen Ning dispelled his doubts.

Passing through the Qiankun Gate, the two entered the harem.

At this moment, a Tianlongwei imperial guard hurriedly came to report: "Dutong, a few assassins have been caught! The initial interrogation was sent by the traitors."

"Damn traitor, you are so arrogant." Huo Tianguang was furious.

Immediately, Huo Tianguang said to Shen Ning: "Shen Ning, you go to the Qingchun Palace for now, and I will go back when I go. A few times ago, because of the assassins, His Majesty Longyan was furious. Today, His Majesty is in a good mood, and you must not be angry because of the assassins. The assassin affects the mood."

Some time ago, an assassin sneaked into the palace. At that time, Shen Ning, as the deputy commander of Tianlongwei, also captured it with his own hands, so he was not surprised about the assassin.

Hearing Huo Tianguang's words, Shen Ning did not have any doubts, so he cupped his fists and said, "Okay!"

Huo Tianguang arranged for an imperial guard to continue to lead the way for Shen Ning, while he left in a hurry with the others.

Shen Ning continued to move forward and soon came to Qingchun Palace.

"General Shen, please come in, I will retire from your humble position." The imperial guards withdrew.

Shen Ning walked into the Qingchun Palace, and saw the forbidden army and internal officials standing outside the palace, following the internal official's notification, Xu Chong walked out.

"Master Shen, congratulations." Xu Chong said with a straight smile.

Shen Ning bowed his hand in return: "I am able to achieve today's achievements, thanks to Xu Gonggong's support."

"Where's the word? Shen Da is proficient in everything from humanities to martial arts, and today's achievements are all the result of your own hard work. Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time. You can come in with our house." Xu Chong said straightforwardly.

Shen Ning nodded and followed Xu Chong straight into the palace.

In the spacious and bright bedroom, Sima Zhou was lying on the bed, and Xiao Mei tapped his legs.

"My humble servant Shen Ning pays homage to His Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed and safe." Shen Ning saluted.

Sima Zhou opened his eyes. Now he has a haggard face, a thin body, and is very old. He knows that Zuixian Powder is harmful, but he can't resist the temptation of Zuixian Powder. Hanging by the tonic, Sima Zhou couldn't live long at all.

And even if you hang on tonics, you can't live for too long.

Knowing that he would die, why did Sima Zhou do this?
There are two reasons. The first is that he can't resist Zuixian San and has low perseverance.The second reason is still because of Shen Ning, because Shen Ning gave him a Taoist golden pill.

It is said that the Taoist golden elixir has magical healing effects and can bring the dying back to life. Sima Zhou believed in this, thinking that if he mastered the Taoist golden elixir, he would have a second life, so he dared to take Zuixian powder. If it was really dangerous, he would take it immediately The Taoist golden elixir, broken and then erected, may be able to crack the mystery of longevity.

It has to be said that Sima Zhou is daydreaming, thinking about good things all day long.

"No courtesy," Sima Zhou said.

Shen Ning just got up.

I only heard Sima Zhou say: "I called you here this time, and I have a few things to tell you. When are you going to return to Xuzhou?"

"Report to Your Majesty, three days later." Shen Ning said.

Sima Zhou asked again: "When you return to Pengcheng, don't delay. Take control of Xuzhou Guard's soldiers and horses immediately. Rebels everywhere are arrogant. Sima Jing's rebellious son has already arrived in Yuzhou. You can only control Xuzhou as quickly as possible. He hit it off."

Shen Ning nodded, and then asked: "Your Majesty, if I use the fastest method to control Xuzhou, I will definitely turn against the Southeast King, and even offend him. I am worried that offending the emperor's relatives is a serious crime!"

Sima Zhou snorted immediately, and said, "Sima Haiyun didn't hold the Southeast King's position firmly, so he didn't rebel. Otherwise, he would have rebelled like other princes. So you don't need to go back to Pengcheng." Concerned about him, I have prepared a secret decree for you, and you take it with you, if the King of Southeast has objections and opposes the management of the court, then directly imprison him and escort him back to the capital, can you do it?"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I can do it." What Shen Ning wanted was his words.

Afterwards, Shen Ning solemnly said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, within half a month of returning to Xuzhou, I have taken all the military power of Xuzhou Guards, and divided the troops into two groups. One part will fight against King Qi of Qingzhou to prevent him from going south. The other part of the force If you enter Yuzhou and stop the rebels from all walks of life, I will die with all my might, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Sima Zhou laughed and said, "I know your loyalty. How many soldiers and horses does Xuzhou Guard have now?"

"More than [-], less than [-]." Shen Ning replied.

Sima Zhou nodded, and said again: "After controlling Xuzhou, recruit troops immediately. Don't worry, I will not let you down, the imperial court will not let you fight alone, and you will be given enough food, grass and military pay. You will encircle and suppress the rebels for me. If you can destroy them, I will give you the title of Marquis!"

"Yes!" Shen Ning pretended to be excited.

Afterwards, Sima Zhou explained some things, both spurs and reminders, and of course warnings, reminding Shen Ning not to get carried away.

Shen Ning didn't leave until Sima Zhou showed a tired look and waved his hand.

After walking out of the Qingchun Palace, Shen Ning walked towards the outside of the palace, and ran into Huo Tianguang on the way.

"Master Shen, are you free? I'm going to do it for you, can you honor me?" Huo Tianguang asked with a smile.

Shen Ning replied: "How can I let Huo Doutong spend money, I will treat you to this meal. Has the assassin dealt with it? It has nothing to do with me leaving the palace, right?"

"The assassin has already made a confession, and he was sent by the King of Chu. Today is just a shift, and there is plenty of time. You must leave the capital immediately, and you must drink tonight." Huo Tianguang laughed.

Shen Ning nodded, and then left the palace with him.

Since Huo Tianguang hosted the banquet, Shen Ning followed him to a restaurant.

The restaurant is next to Xuanwu Lake, and the environment is pleasant. The two asked for a private room and started chatting.

"Master Shen, I also invited a friend, I hope you don't mind." Huo Tianguang said with a smile.

Shen Ning was taken aback, and asked, "Oh, I don't know if I know you?"

"Master Shen knows it. If you don't, I won't invite him either." Huo Tianguang explained.

This made Shen Ning even more curious, who was the person invited by the other party?
