Once upon a time there was a sword-questioner

Chapter 21 Inside the Ming Palace
Chaotian City, Qinglong District.

Ji Qingyun led a group of Qingjia soldiers back to General Qinglong's Mansion. He drove away many of the soldiers, leaving only two of them, and took them to the depths of the mansion, where there was a secluded room.

When the door closed, Ji Qingyun finally let go of his heart, turned around and saw the two soldiers, forced a smile.

"Fortunately we caught up."

The two soldiers took off their green steel helmets, revealing familiar faces, they were Tang Ge and Ning Zhiqiu.

Ning Zhiqiu froze for a moment, then cupped his fists at Ji Qingyun and said, "Thank you, General Ji, for your help."

"That's all."

Ji Qingyun waved his hand, glanced at Tang Ge, and then moved his eyes aside without saying anything.

Tang Ge said, "Thank you."

Ji Qingyun glanced at him and said, "Yo, you still say thank you?"

Tang Ge said: "Then I take it back."

"You..." Ji Qingyun's mouth twitched, his eyes opened angrily, but there was nothing he could do.

"Tell me, how did you know that our whereabouts were exposed?"

Tang Ge turned around, turned his back to Ji Qingyun, and took a few steps forward. The armor on his body rustled. He looked down and frowned slightly, as if he didn't like it very much.

Ji Qingyun said coldly: "I have been the township envoy for so many years, how come I don't have many eyeliners."

Tang Ge said: "Within the jurisdiction of the Suzaku General's Mansion, you, the envoy of Qinglong Town, dispatched faster than that Han Yu, do you think I believe it?"

Ji Qingyun hesitated to speak, hesitated for a moment before saying: "It's true..."

Tang Ge turned around suddenly, there seemed to be thousands of sword qi in his eyes, his eyes were extremely cold, he stared straight at Ji Qingyun, and said, "Why?"

Ji Qingyun said helplessly: "It's the order of the Empress."

Tang Ge could vaguely guess that it was related to some dignitaries in the Daming Palace, but he didn't expect that it was actually the Empress herself who gave the order. At this moment, it sounds like he has a heart, and there are ripples in his heart.

He asked: "How could the empress know my whereabouts? And why didn't she arrest me, but asked you to rescue me?"

Ji Qingyun shook his head, his face was gloomy, and said: "I don't know the reason, but it is very likely that it has something to do with Chaotian."

The quiet room fell into silence for a while, and the three of them had their own thoughts, either raised their heads, lowered their heads, or let go, and occasionally met their eyes, but they all avoided them intentionally or unintentionally.

After a long time, Tang Ge said, "Did she ever ask me to do something?"

Ji Qingyun said: "The Empress orders you to enter the palace to see her."

Tang Ge smiled indifferently, and said: "Isn't this very good, I don't need to trouble you to take me into Daming Palace, I can go to Tianbao Pavilion in a legitimate way."

Ji Qingyun shouted in a deep voice, "You are crazy!"

Ning Zhiqiu also said eagerly: "Yes, Xiao Tang, the empress's heart is as deep as the sea, it's too dangerous!"

Hearing Ning Zhiqiu call Tang Ge Xiao Tang, Ji Qingyun was taken aback, and then smirked secretly, this title is really too unsuitable.

Tang Ge shook his head indifferently, and said, "Since the empress let me go this time, she will definitely not kill me."

"Qingyun, he will stay here with you for the time being, and there must be no mistakes."

Tang Ge glanced at Ning Zhiqiu, and Ji Qingyun's cold words reached Ji Qingyun's ears, and this man who was the Azure Dragon General of the Empire actually nodded resentfully.

……

……

Tang Ge didn't leave Qinglong General's Mansion immediately, but waited until night fell, and he left quietly in the dark. Except for Ning Zhiqiu and Ji Qingyun, no one knew his whereabouts.

On Zhengyang Street, Suzaku District, the Liuyun Legion has already withdrawn, but there is still a part of the Suzaku Army guarding the door of Tang Ge's house.

In the corner of the dark street, Tang Ge watched this scene with a blank expression.

On the one hand, the Empress ordered the Liuyun Legion and the Suzaku Army to chase and kill her, and on the other hand, she ordered Ji Qingyun to rescue herself. Tang Ge really couldn't understand what this deep-hearted Emperor was thinking.

Tang Ge came back here in order to get home the sword box that he hadn't taken away in time because of his haste.

The sword box was placed in a secret place, and no one knew about it except Tang Ge, but the group of soldiers searched the house without guaranteeing it.

Tang Ge's whole body was melted into the darkness. He glanced at the heavily guarded door again, and he slowly backed away, walking towards another small alley.

This alley leads to the back wall of the house. Fortunately, there is no trace of the Suzaku Army on the back wall. Tang Ge thought for a while and realized that this should be Han Yu's order.

With a tumbling, Tang Ge jumped up quietly, and then he crossed the back wall and entered the yard, walked through the darkness, and soon returned to his room.

The room was pitch-black, and with the help of Yuehua, he could barely see. Tang Ge took out the sword case he had hidden in the dark, and finally heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the sword case was intact.

He didn't leave immediately, he was thinking about going to see the empress tomorrow, how should he do it?
What tone do you speak in?
How do I introduce myself?

How should I deal with myself?
These are all questions, the majestic female emperor, the ruler of the Great Zhou Empire, the pinnacle figure in the martial arts world, how does he, a little practitioner of Qin state of mind, face it?
What's more, Kunlun Mountain and the Great Zhou Empire are still enemies. The Empress discovered his identity, but why didn't she kill him, but asked Ji Qingyun to rescue him secretly?
Tang Ge sat on the bed, tapped the sword case with his fingers, and fell into deep thought.

At a certain moment, Tango appeared under the courtyard wall, then jumped out, walked away along the darkness, and disappeared under the night.

……

……

The majestic and majestic palace of a thousand feet has stood in Chaotian City for many years. After several catastrophes, it has never moved.

What mortals see is only the forbidden land under the power, the stretching palace is majestic, but they don't know that there are caves deep in the palace, and all kinds of things in Daming Palace are hard to describe in words.

The bright moon hangs high in the night sky, radiating thousands of cold moonlight, illuminating the night sky and the world, hanging on the top of the Daming Palace, turning it into a wonder in the world.

The white jade railings are made of bluestone bricks, and there are coiled dragons, carved phoenixes, and auspicious signs. Deep inside, there is a magnificent place that is particularly outstanding, which is the Daming Palace where the center of Chaotian City is located.

The woman leans on the railing and looks far away. She is graceful and luxurious. She wears a phoenix robe and hangs behind her jade feet. Her aura of superiority repels people thousands of miles away, making her unattainable.

The cinnabar between her eyebrows is light, her red lips are burning like a fire, and her phoenix eyes are long and narrow, looking at the bright moon in the sky.

The woman didn't say a word, but looked silently at the city under the moonlight from a distance. The lights in all houses were brightly lit, but they couldn't illuminate the melancholy in her heart.

A faint light flashes in the eyes of the phoenix, and one glance seems to pass through the vast sky and see the light in the mist.

The night wind blows, blowing the woman's phoenix robe, and the fragrance overflows, and the golden phoenix totem on the phoenix robe flutters along with it, like a living thing, complementing and blending with the woman's temperament.

The woman quietly raised her head and looked at the stars all over the sky. There were seven irregularly arranged stars slowly gathering together, bright and dark.

Among the seven stars, three stars are on a straight line, and the other four are scattered randomly, but there is a tendency to gather towards those three stars.

"How could the Seven Star Tribulation be like this?"

A whisper came from the mouth of this woman who was at the pinnacle of power in the world. When she saw the seven stars, the woman's long and narrow phoenix eyes showed sadness for the first time. The last time she reacted this way, it was still ten years ago.

At that time, the sword master under the Zhuxian formation was about to die.

The sword master finally fell under the supreme power of the Zhuxian Formation. It was the first time that the woman was entangled, and the first time she was full of thoughts.

When they first met, the man who wielded a sword, drank wine, and acted recklessly was deeply imprinted in the woman's mind. All these things are still engraved in her heart even today.

She is the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a pinnacle figure in the martial arts world.

Chi Chi
A strange voice came from the hall behind him. As the white light flickered and disappeared, an old man with white beard and hair appeared in the dim palace. He had a long white beard, held a golden scepter, and was dressed in a dark brown robe. He was quite handsome. The grace of the immortal in the clouds.

"You saw it too."

The empress was not surprised by this person's arrival, she was still watching the changing stars in the night sky, her red lips parted slightly.

The old man nodded silently, walked slowly towards the empress a few steps, then stopped, and said, "The disaster of the Seven Stars will come to the world again, and the Kunlun world will probably be turbulent again."

The Empress asked, "Is there a way to solve it?"

The old man shook his head and said, "It's as difficult as climbing to the sky. The emperor a thousand years ago was such a god, and there is no way to solve it. I'm afraid we can only let the world change."

There was a chill in the empress's beautiful eyes, and she said: "You have a way, why don't you want to say it?"

Looking at the back of the empress, the old man sighed lightly and said, "It's against the way of heaven, who has such great power?"

After hesitating for a moment, the old man said again: "1000 years ago, the Kunlun Realm encountered the disaster of the Seven Stars. The Taoism of that Emperor Qin can be said to be unprecedented. On the day when the Seven Stars were in succession, he used himself as a matchmaker, and the Eight Great Gods under his command would assist him." , and with the blessing of Kunlun's heart, the Xingluo Wuji formation was deployed to fight against the seven-star catastrophe with the power to destroy the world, but in the end, Emperor Qin and his eight great generals were all blood-stained for a long night, and their lives died. It’s deplorable.”

The empress did not refute, nor did she get angry, the more the old man said so, the more calm she became, and a faint layer of mist appeared on the surface of the phoenix robe, making it impossible to approach.

She said: "I may not be able to do what Emperor Qin failed to do. As the master of Gu Yue Dongtian, you must have a way."

The old man said helplessly: "At that time, Emperor Qin's Taoism was already in the realm of Taiqing, and the eight generals were all in the realm of Wuxiang. This lineup can be called invincible in the world, and with the blessing of such a sacred object as the Heart of Kunlun, the people who were deployed Xingluo Wuji Formation still failed because he lacked three things."

The empress asked: "What is it?"

"Four Sacred Monuments, Ancestral Dragon's Essence and Blood, and Misty Star Map." Mentioning these three things, the old man's face gradually became serious, and his breathing from the tip of his nose became much heavier.

The empress slightly parted her red lips, and said: "I will send someone to look for it, even if I turn the Kunlun world upside down, I will find it. I will never follow in the footsteps of Emperor Qin."

Feeling the increasingly cold aura on the empress, the old man said: "Not to mention that there is no trace of these three things for now, the heart of Kunlun also returned to heaven and earth after the great war 1000 years ago. Find the heart of Kunlun."

"Ok?"

The female emperor raised her phoenix eyebrows slightly, glanced at the old man, and said, "From what you said, do you know how to find the heart of Kunlun?"

The old man stroked his beard, hesitated for a moment, and said: "The heart of Kunlun is the lifeblood of the Kunlun world. It is hard to come by. If you want to find it, you need to find the man of destiny first."
