Two days later at Chang'an.1
As the former imperial city of the Darkhan Dynasty, although it had declined since its rise to glory, it was still far grander than any other city in the Darkhan Dynasty.
And the one overseeing Chang'an palace city, was the current son of the sky — — Liu Hong!
Shi A set off from Luoyang and quickly rode his horse through the night. He finally arrived outside the Chang'an within two days.
With his status as Wang Yue's disciple and the seal given to him by General Hu Ben when he set off, Shi A was able to enter the palace without any obstructions. He then met the emperor who was guarding the palace, Liu Hong.
Liu Hong was tall and didn't wear the clothing of the Son of Heaven. However, he gave people a feeling of might without anger. However, Liu Hong's face was still pale, making people wonder if he had some hidden disease.
When Shi A was very clear about it, although the man in front of him looked weak, in terms of strength, he was definitely one of the few. With Void-earth Immortal's cultivation level, it was enough for Liu Hong to look down on most of his opponents!
"I, Shi A, greet Your Majesty." Shi A bowed towards Liu Hong and said respectfully.
"There's no need to be so courteous," Liu Hong waved his hand, and said lightly: "Shi A, you aren't serving the First Prince in Luoyang, and have instead rushed over to Chang'an to meet us. Do you have something important to report?"
"Your Majesty, I am sure," Shi A said hastily. "It was Prince Bian who sent me to report this matter to Your Majesty."
"Ya'er will guard the Luoyang. In these past few years, there haven't been many things that he couldn't make a decision about. To think that he would actually send you over to the Chang'an. It seems that this matter isn't small …"
Liu Hong's expression turned serious when he heard that. He said to Shi A, "Could it be that something happened in the middle of the court?"
Even though he was recuperating in Chang'an during these few years, it was not as if he did not know about worldly affairs. He had some understanding of Liu Bian's actions in Luoyang City.
Under Liu Bian's control, Luoyang City could be said to be in a neat and orderly state, and some seemingly troublesome matters were easily resolved by Liu Bian.
And now, Liu Bian actually sent Shi A over to Chang'an. Most likely, something that Liu Bian couldn't easily decide happened in Luoyang City, and it was very urgent. Otherwise, Liu Bian would have simply sent a small official to report it.
"Honored Tutor Yuan Wei is plotting to murder Prince Bian," Shi A hurriedly said upon hearing Prince Bian's words.
Liu Hong's face darkened and a majestic pressure rose from his body. He said coldly: "What a Yuan Wei, what a good Lunan!"
"Did the defense find out Yuan Wei's accomplice?" Liu Hong looked at Shi A, pausing after each word.
He was very clear that someone with merely Lunan would not have the guts to challenge his bottom line. Unless he had a strong enough power to be an ally of Yuan, then based on Yuan Wei's temper, he definitely wouldn't dare to scheme against Liu Bian!
"Not yet," Shi A shook his head, and said: "But Prince Bian saw through Yuan Wei's scheme, so he decided to play it by ear, and let this subject pretend to be Prince Bian, and lead the snake out of its hole, discovering the collusion between Lunan and the Taiping Dao!"
"When your subject Wang Yue wanted to kill Yuan Wei, the Taiping Dao leader, the great virtuous and virtuous teacher Zhang Jiao, appeared before you and obstructed your subject. If it weren't for the two brave warriors acting in the name of righteousness, I'm afraid you would have already been chased away by that renegade official, Yuan Wei!"
"What do you think?" Liu Hong was silent for a while and then asked.
He had been in charge of the Darkhan Empire for many years, so he was naturally not a fool. From Shi A's words, he understood Liu Bian's intention to have Shi A come to Chang'an.
However, he was worried that if he made a move on Yuan and the news spread out, it would cause a huge commotion and it would be hard to not give Zhang Jiao a chance.
