C1722 A Drop of Honey

Lin Qingxue had also changed into an ancient costume, but the most important part was the change in her hairstyle. At first glance, Lin Qingxue was wearing a dark green long skirt and her hair was tied up, making her look like a lady from a noble family.

It was a novelty to Lin Qingxue.

Lili was filled with curiosity about Tianzhou, but Chen Qingyang did not intend to bring Lili around. He only wanted to take a walk around the Imperial City. Because relatively speaking, the Imperial City was the safest.

After the shower, Chen Qingyang and Lin Qingxue and Qiao Ning got into the carriage. Biyue and Peaches were with them, and the coachmen were there to drive the carriage.

Chen Qingyang could be considered a reputable person in the Imperial City, so he had a complete set of equipment.

That day, Chen Qingyang and Qiao Ning were with Lin Qingxue. He first went to the best restaurant in East Sun Restaurant and had a meal. The taste of the drunk fish here was quite good. Afterwards, he strolled around everywhere, such as the Great Apocalypse Temple Ruins, the four-sided stone forest, as well as the Western Slope Hu, and so on.

In the evening, Chen Qingyang even received an invitation from the Emperor Xuan Zhenghao to attend a banquet in the palace.

Xuan Zhenghao's intelligence was terrible. Knowing that Chen Qingyang had brought Lin Qingxue with him, he had asked Chen Qingyang to bring Lin Qingxue with him to the palace.

"Ah, you want to see the Emperor?" When Lin Qingxue heard the news inside her Shaowei Prefecture, she immediately became nervous.

This is the Emperor!

"Bro, I don't think we need to go. I don't even know how to be polite!" Do you want to kneel? " Lin Qingxue started to retreat.

Chen Qingyang said, "Well, you don't have to kneel. However, he had to put on an act. This was also a form of respect. After all, this was the custom here. When we go to a place, we must respect the customs of a place. Don't worry, the Emperor knows you came here from the Great Thousand World, he will understand. He wants you to go because he wants you to see more of yourself. This is a good intention, don't miss the chance. "

Qiao Ning also said, "That's right, Qingxue. Sister Ning is here. You don't have to be afraid of anything! "

Lin Qingxue said, "Then... "Fine!"

At night, the Imperial City was brightly lit.

In Tianzhou, it was not the era of science and technology. Many cities were quiet at night, even in the dark. This is an inevitable phenomenon in feudal society. Even within the Great Thousand World, some counties would still be in this state.

However, as the symbol of the Great Kang Empire, the imperial city's grandeur at night was comparable to some of the first-tier cities in the Great Thousand World.

Chen Qingyang once asked Xuan Zhenghao, have you ever thought of building a modern socialist country.

Xuan Zhenghao shook his head and said, "Never thought about it."

Chen Qingyang knew, even though Xuan Zhenghao already had the real power. However, there was still a huge risk when it came to bold changes.

Xuan Zhenghao's answer, however, was not to be afraid of risk. It's actually the difference between Tianzhou and Great Thousand World. The reason Great Thousand World was able to reach this step was because they had experienced countless nirvanas. And he had the protection of the Heavenly Dao!

Even in other worlds, there were high technology. However, the social system of Tianzhou had already been formed. Once Xuan Zhenghao made a wrong move, it would bring about a disaster. Therefore, Xuan Zhenghao would only develop his skills in the area of magic, but not in the area of high technology.

Moreover, there was an even more important point.

High-technology destroys the world's spiritual energy. In the Tianzhou, the ones who grasped strength were cultivators. Destroying its spirit energy was shaking a cultivator's foundation. If Xuan Zhenghao were to develop his technology, he would be going against the cultivators.

It was just like how, in the history of the Great Thousand World, those emperors went out of their way to shake some of the aristocratic families and met with the calamity of annihilation later on.

One of the most important reasons for Yang Guang's death was his opening of the imperial examinations and other actions, which had shaken the foundations of the family.

And what Li Yuan represented was precisely a Feudal Lord powerhouse!

Although the later generations had told Yang Guang about everything that had happened, it was obviously not believable. Because discrediting Yang Guang was the inevitability of history, when the new dynasty overthrew the old dynasty, they naturally had to account for all the crimes. Otherwise, how could they be called a righteous teacher?

Whether it was Shang Zhou or Sui Yang Emperor, they could not escape this fate.

Of course, this did not mean that they were good people.

It's just not that bad.

In all of history, how could the emperor use the word 'good' to criticize someone?

Chen Qingyang and his entourage successfully entered the palace.

Xuan Zhenghao didn't have a banquet for the officials. Instead, he met with the empress with Chen Qingyang and his entourage in the Yu Huang palace.

Empress's name was Yongle. Xuan Zhenghao and Yongle had a very good relationship. Yongle had been Palace Mistress of the Yongle Palace, and Xuan Zhenghao had wanted to exterminate all the sects in the Grand Kung Dynasty. Yongle led the whole court to her, and she herself gave herself to Xuan Zhenghao.

It didn't matter if it was true love in the beginning, but now, Xuan Zhenghao and Yongle's love had grown, and they even had children.

Yongle was also impressed by Xuan Zhenghao's talent and was willing to be his woman.

In the front hall of the rain, it was luxurious and elegant.

Eighteen white-robed palace attendants stood to one side.

Xuan Zhenghao wore a bright yellow robe and sat on the seat of honor with the extraordinarily beautiful Yongle, who was dressed in palace attire.

Chen Qingyang and the others entered and were about to kneel.

Xuan Zhenghao knew that Chen Qingyang and his gang didn't like to kneel down and kowtow, so he waved his hand and said, "We are all family, there is no need to be so polite. "Quick, sit!"

Chen Qingyang and Lili stopped kneeling, but they bowed to show their respect.

Lin Qingxue did the same at the side. Her actions were not very standard, and people couldn't help but smile when they saw her actions.

After that, they sat down.

The feast consisted of a table with a tatami table and fine wine, fruits and vegetables, as well as meat.

After that, they once again exchanged pleasantries. Xuan Zhenghao welcomed Lin Qingxue and told her to take her around.

Qiao Ningze was afraid that Lin Qingxue would be restrained and uncomfortable, so she volunteered, "Your Majesty, I'll also go with the Empress and Qingxue."

Xuan Zhenghao smiled and said, "That's fine too!"

After that, Qiao Ning, Lin Qingxue, and Yongle left the front hall.

The group of palace maids were also dismissed by Xuan Zhenghao.

In the front hall of the rain, the light was gentle.

The delicious food in front of Chen Qingyang had a perfect fragrance, and the fragrance floated into his nose.

"I heard that you've come to see me during my closed door cultivation?" Xuan Zhenghao said.

Under Xuan Zhenghao's control, there were many people who were stronger than Chen Qingyang's cultivation level. However, Xuan Zhenghao only had one eye on Chen Qingyang, which confused the court officials.

However, Chen Qingyang understood why. It was because of the uniqueness of his fate. Furthermore, the speed at which he jumped up in these past few years had caught Xuan Zhenghao's attention.

In other words, Xuan Zhenghao was optimistic about Chen Qingyang's future.

Furthermore, Xuan Zhenghao also gained a lot of benefits from Chen Qingyang.

Even so, Chen Qingyang was always respectful to Xuan Zhenghao and didn't dare to show the slightest bit of arrogance.

No matter how close their relationship was, they still had to understand the art of emperor. Besides, they weren't exactly close.

In the end, it was only mutual benefit.1

At this time, Chen Qingyang was no longer as anxious as he was before. Therefore, when Xuan Zhenghao asked, Chen Qingyang was not in a hurry. It was mainly Perfect Enlightenment's words that inspired him.

"This lowly general has indeed come to see the Emperor." Chen Qingyang said.

Xuan Zhenghao said, "I can probably guess why you have come to find me."

Chen Qingyang was surprised and said, "You know about it?"

Xuan Zhenghao said, "About Spirit Sovereign, right?"

Chen Qingyang was surprised and said, "You actually know Spirit Sovereign?"

Xuan Zhenghao laughed and said: "This matter is indeed very secretive, but Spirit Sovereign has actually set up a base in Tianzhou. A long time ago, through the Grimoire, I had a thorough understanding of their background. It's just that they think they're flawless. "

Chen Qingyang said, "Your Majesty, since you know about the matter regarding Spirit Sovereign, you know that their scheme is huge. What do you think of this? "

He really wanted to know Xuan Zhenghao's attitude.

Xuan Zhenghao smiled playfully, then asked back, "If you were me, what would you do?"

Chen Qingyang was stunned as he didn't expect Xuan Zhenghao to ask such a question.

"This …" Chen Qingyang didn't know how to reply.

Xuan Zhenghao said, "You know, humans are greedy animals. This kind of greed didn't just belong to mortals. Whether it's us mortals, or the immortals in the Celestial Realm. As long as one was human, one would never be able to discard the greed hidden deep within one's bones. What is a person? Humans were people who had been forced into desperate straits, and were still able to ignore the enemies outside and continue fighting internally. So, what can I do if you tell me about this? Shall we join Cloud Heaven Sect, Divine Clan, and Immortality Sect? Do you think they'll join forces? "

"They won't!" Chen Qingyang said honestly.

Xuan Zhenghao said, "If I go alone to face Spirit Sovereign, do you believe that they will be able to attack me soon?"

Chen Qingyang said dejectedly, "I believe you!"

Xuan Zhenghao said, "I have long since seen such a fable. It's called a drop of honey. The story was about a traveller who was walking alone in the desert. Suddenly, a pack of hungry wolves appeared behind him, chasing him to eat. He was shocked. He ran with all his might, fighting for his life. The hungry wolf was within reach, and he was close to exhaustion. Just then, a well appeared in front of him. He jumped down without a care for his own safety. Just when he thought he was saved, he didn't know that not only was there no water inside the well, there were also many poisonous snakes. In a state of panic, he reached out and grabbed for something to save his life. Fortunately, he was able to grab a small tree in the middle of the well. Although there were hungry wolves and poisonous snakes above him, he was still safe.

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, a strange sound suddenly came from the other side of the tree. He looked towards the source of the sound and saw a group of rats biting the tree root with sharp teeth. In this moment of life and death, he suddenly saw a drop of honey on the leaf before him, so he forgot about the hungry wolf above, the poisonous snake below, and the small tree that was about to be bitten by a mouse. He closed his eyes, stuck out his tongue, and wholeheartedly licked the drop of honey.

After Xuan Zhenghao finished his sentence, he said, "Everyone has a drop of honey in their heart. This drop of honey is the human nature of greed! "
