Book of Disaster

Chapter 1037: The Emperor's Summons

"I told you, you can't run away."

At this moment, a soul-stirring voice suddenly came from behind.

"what?"

The man trembled all over and turned his head suddenly. He saw Bai Qi with his hands behind his back. He had appeared behind him at some point and was staring at him coldly.

"How can this be?!"

Seeing the terrifying figure, the man turned pale and his breathing almost stopped.

His concealment ability is extremely powerful, and he didn't leave any traces or breath just now. How did Bai Qi discover him?

"Tell me, who are you? And who sent you?"

Bai Qi didn't care what he thought. Buzz, a ray of spiritual consciousness as heavy as a mountain locked onto the other party. At the same time, with his hands behind his back, he kept stepping closer, exerting pressure, and spoke in a cold voice.

"Humph, the youngest son of the Bai family is indeed amazing."

However, after only a moment, the man came to his senses, relaxed, and said with a fearless look:

"But I'm afraid you can't kill me."

"Oh?"

Bai Qi stopped and stared at him, with a change in his eyes.

"Humph, I know you don't believe me, but you are in great trouble right now and can't take care of yourself. If I were you, would you never have the energy to chase me?"

"Go back. Calculate the time. Your Bai family will have guests coming."

The man sneered.

"What did you say?"

Bai Qi frowned slightly.

He originally thought that this person was deliberately being mysterious in order to gain a glimmer of hope for survival, but the next moment—

"how come?"

Bai Qi suddenly felt something and his expression changed slightly.

Just at that moment, his mental power radiated out, and at this moment he suddenly felt that many figures appeared in the Bai family mansion.

"call out!"

Taking advantage of the moment when Bai Qi was distracted, the mysterious man flashed and dived into the void again, disappearing without a trace.

"Humph, Bai Qi, you won't be so proud for long. See you later!"

His voice was faint and quickly drifted in the air.

"Humph."

Bai Qi's eyes flashed, but he did not continue chasing. Instead, he flashed and returned to the Bai family mansion.

There were shadowy figures in the mansion, but the silence was so severe that you could hear a pin drop. The servants and maids were kneeling on the ground, and the atmosphere seemed extremely tense.

"Bai Qi, you are finally back."

Seeing Bai Qi return, Xu Xuansu and Zhou Yixian immediately came over and said with concern:

"How is it? Did you catch the assassin? Is he injured?"

"It's okay, but I let him get away."

Bai Qi shook his head, but his eyes were looking at several new figures that appeared in the Bai family mansion, his brows slightly frowned.

Without exception, those people were all wearing palace costumes. They looked noble and majestic.

Leading the group was an old eunuch in brocade robes with cloud patterns. He held a whisk in his hand and had a smile on his face. He looked kind and approachable, but deep in his eyes, there was a majesty that was high above and could not be violated.

"Eunuch Chen?"

Bai Qi blinked and recognized it at a glance.

This person is none other than the personal eunuch of the Yuan Emperor, a very busy man. His status is extremely noble and he would not easily leave the palace.

Even Bai Qi did not expect that Eunuch Chen would appear in the Bai family mansion.

"Mr. Bai, long time no see."

On the other side, Eunuch Chen smiled and nodded at Bai Qi, saying:

"We are following His Majesty's orders to invite General Bai Qi of Wu'an to enter the palace immediately to discuss matters."

"what?"

Hearing what Eunuch Chen said, Bai Qi was stunned and very surprised.

Although he was appointed General Wu'an by the imperial court, he had been busy with cultivation before and had never attended court. The Emperor had also not asked him to do anything in this regard.

After all, he is not in charge of administration.

According to the court's rules, military generals like him were not required to attend court.

This was the first time that the court took the initiative to ask him to attend court to discuss matters.

Moreover, it was Eunuch Chen who was beside the Human Emperor who came in person to announce the decree.

Obviously something happened.

"Bai Qi, something is wrong."

At the same time, Xu Xuansu on the side also felt something, frowned slightly, and reminded through voice transmission.

"Ah."

Bai Qi nodded calmly. He also felt it and frowned slightly. Then he looked at Eunuch Chen and asked directly:

"Eunuch Chen, when exactly will His Majesty summon me? Under normal circumstances, it shouldn't be my turn, right?"

"This……"

Eunuch Chen fell silent upon hearing this. He frowned slightly and looked at Bai Qi, wanting to say something but stopping himself:

"According to the court's rules, our family is only responsible for announcing the imperial decree. It is not appropriate to talk too much about what happens in the court. If the general wants to know, he will naturally understand when he arrives in the court."

"In short, the general should be mentally prepared."

Eunuch Chen looked at Bai Qi deeply and said.

As soon as these words were spoken, Bai Qi, Xu Xuansu and Zhou Yixian looked at each other, and their hearts sank immediately.

Although Eunuch Chen did not say it directly, his last sentence has revealed a lot of things.

Obviously, Bai Qi's intuition was correct.

problem occurs.

"Thank you, father-in-law."

Bai Qi said quickly, without forcing it.

With his current strength, he is fearless.

"Ah."

Eunuch Chen nodded, looking very worried.

There is a reason why he is so highly valued by the Human Emperor.

Although he had a good impression of Bai Qi and wanted to tell him, there were some things... that he couldn't say.

That is taboo.

And even if he really said it out loud, it might not necessarily help Bai Qi.

"Come here, change your clothes!"

Soon, Bai Qi called the maids to bathe and change clothes.

Bai Qi was a military general, the General Wu'an appointed by the imperial court himself. He was wearing a brand new set of military armor. The whole set was silver-white in color, with exquisite design, and was carved with dragon patterns, tigers and leopards, making him look extremely powerful.

When Bai Qi wore this armor, he looked very majestic, and he immediately exuded the sharpness and heroic spirit of a young general.

"Wow, the young master is so handsome!"

On the side, the maids of the Bai Mansion were stunned. This was the first time they saw Bai Qi wearing armor, and they couldn't help but exclaim.

Even Xu Xuansu who was standing beside her couldn't help but have her beautiful eyes flicker.

"Mr. Bai, please."

Chen Gong said.

Soon, Bai Qi followed Eunuch Chen, walked through the streets and entered the palace.

Under the guidance of Eunuch Chen, Bai Qi finally stopped in front of a towering palace.

Huangji Palace!

It is located in the northeast corner of the Yuan Dynasty Palace. It is like a giant dragon, majestic and heavily guarded. It is the place where the civil and military officials of the Yuan Dynasty hold meetings and it is also the power center of the entire Yuan Dynasty.

Before Bai Qi got close, he felt a sense of boundless power coming towards him, which made his heart tighten and he immediately felt an invisible pressure.

This has nothing to do with strength, but rather the pressure that naturally emanates when power reaches its peak, which shocks the soul.

But it only took a moment for Bai Qi to come back to his senses.

"call!"

Bai Qi took a deep breath, adjusted his armor, and soon walked into the hall with his head held high and calmly.
