Chapter 3059: Arrogance and Extravagance

The drizzle enveloped the imperial city of the Xuanyun Empire like silver threads. In the imperial palace, the golden eaves looked particularly brilliant, with towering dragons and swaying columns on both sides, and delicately carved white jade railings and platforms. All the carved beams and painted buildings.

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe sat on the pure gold dragon chair in the hall. Below, people were singing and dancing, with flowing sleeves, bells and chimes ringing, and melodious music.

The Xuanyun Empire's military strength was strong enough to withstand the power of the Three Kingdoms of Baishou, Dazhou, and Daliang, and its territory was also extremely vast.

And this middle-aged man is the emperor of the Xuanyun Empire, Liu Zhang.

"Hahaha, good dance, great dance!"

Liu Zhang held a red pen in one hand and painted the phoenix dance on the rice paper. The outline of the beauty was clearly visible.

It must be said that his ability to draw beauties is truly unparalleled in the world.

However, he had no great ambitions and could not further expand the Xuanyun Empire's territory with the help of divine generals like Zhang Ren.

The graceful dancer dances gracefully above the main hall.

The princes and ministers on both sides have long been accustomed to this unique morning court.

Seeing them all wearing high hats and looking greedy, it is not difficult to see how corrupt and dilapidated the Xuanyun Empire is.

However, this arrogant and luxurious atmosphere did not last long, and was broken by a eunuch who walked over in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, urgent report from the border!"

With a voice like a drake, everyone got goosebumps when he shouted.

Urgent report at the border?

All civil and military officials were startled when they heard this.

The borders of the Xuanyun Empire are nothing more than the Beast Dynasty and Daliang.

Could it be that the Beast Dynasty is itching again?

For a time, countless people were discussing it privately.

But Liu Zhang acted as if he hadn't heard anything and was still concentrating on painting the beauty.

The eunuchs outside the palace waited for a long time. Seeing that His Majesty was still unmoved, they could only kowtow quietly outside the palace, waiting for the urgent letter to be handed over.

"Your Majesty, reporting an emergency at the border is no joke. Let's take a look."

At this time, a civil servant with a solemn eyebrow suddenly walked out of the crowd.

"Why are you so anxious? It's just that the Beast Dynasty has begun to increase its troops to collect food, just as a pretense of deterrence."

Liu Zhang carefully traced the outline of the beauty in the portrait without being moved at all.

Seeing this, the civil servant shook his head and muttered: "The Kingdom of Beasts has many talented people. In recent years, it has been increasing its troops at the border. You cannot underestimate it, Your Majesty!"

"Huang Quan, why are you so boring? I have General Zhang Ren who can guard Xiguan and prevent all beasts from outside the pass. What do you know?"

"But you are a sage king of a country. When faced with urgent reports from the border, shouldn't you take a look at them!"

Huang Quan shouted sternly, and Liu Zhang was so surprised that his hands trembled, and he actually drew the beauty's eyebrows to the base of her ears.

"Bold Huang Quan, don't just rely on yourself as the prime minister to force you into the palace!"

Liu Zhang was immediately furious and threw the Zhubi to the ground.

The court hall was silent for a moment.

Worried eyes and gloating eyes all focused on Huang Quan.

Huang Quan actually already knew what kind of person the king he was loyal to was like.

However, he was still not afraid of punishment. He raised his head and shouted: "As the saying goes, people without long-term worries will have immediate worries. In the past, I advised your majesty to send troops to the Kingdom of Beasts. It's fine if you didn't listen. But if you don't let go of today's matter, In my heart, as a prime minister, it’s okay if I don’t do it!”

"you……!"

Liu Zhang's face trembled.

The Xuanyun Empire originally had many generals and few counselors.

If Huang Quan resigns as prime minister, who can be qualified?

"Oh, forget it, just submit it."

This is not the first time this has happened.

Liu Zhang couldn't resist him, so he had no choice but to wave his sleeves.

Soon, the letter was presented.

Liu Zhang spread it out and took a closer look, his face instantly stiffened.

"It's not Xiguan!"

He looked shocked.

What!

Not Xiguan? !

The entire court instantly exploded.

When did a mere Daliang dare to attack their Xuanyun Empire?

"Quick, get General Zhang Ren back!"

Liu Zhang stood up quickly and shouted.

But after hearing this, Huang Quan was stunned.

"The general is guarding Xiguan, how can he go back just as he said..."

"What do you know? Two thieves have already rushed into our Xuanyun Empire. Now they are probably heading for my imperial city. If it were any later, my life would be in danger!" Liu Zhang looked into the distance with a solemn expression. He shouted: "Send the order and order General Zhang Ren to return to the imperial capital as soon as possible. All affairs in Xiguan will be temporarily handed over to General Meng Da to handle with full authority!"

"yes!"

The eunuch outside was so frightened that he rolled over and ran down the stone steps.

The entire court fell into panic.

…

Liu Zhang was worried that the two powerful men who suddenly appeared would come to kill the king.

As everyone knows, Bai Chen and Tang Qin have no intention of going to the imperial capital. The two of them gallop all the way, and the direction they are running towards is Xiguan.

"The map given by Senior Yiji is really exaggerated. Even the mountains are marked accurately."

Among the mountains, Tang Qin was sitting under a tree, eating wild fruits, comparing the map in his hand, and couldn't help but be surprised.

"After all, he was once the prime minister of Daliang. Having this map is nothing."

Bai Chen put his hands behind his hands and looked towards the distant mountains, his expression indifferent.

According to their current speed, they should be able to reach Xiguan on the third day.

In other words, this round trip will take six days on the road.

"We have eight days to search for the Bodhi root in the Beast Dynasty, which should be enough time."

"Yes, I hope everything goes well and nothing unexpected happens. I can't afford to lose this time."

The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly. After a brief rest, they continued to fly westward.

However, just a moment after they left, a black-robed figure appeared behind a tree in the mountain.

Beside the black-robed man, there was also a dignified and elegant woman. This woman had a very beautiful face, and her white dress interpreted the aura of the fairy.

"I really don't understand. Is it worth spending so much time on such a little black dragon?" The woman pointed her jade finger in the air, and a small emerald green spiritual formation instantly appeared at her fingertips.

As the small formation appeared, golden rings on it spread out from the center, like ripples in the water.

"You don't understand, he is Zhuge Kongming's weak point."

The black-robed man sneered.

"Weakness~ If this little guy is Kong Ming's weakness, then what you want to do, Kong Ming will not think of it?" The woman disagreed.

"Kong Ming is willing but unable to do it now."

The man in black robe looked up at the blue sky, thinking gloomily: "To be honest, if time does not allow, I really want to fight Kong Ming in an upright manner, but now, we don't have much time..."

"Alas, fate cannot be violated!"

The woman made a seal with her jade hands, and with a flash of light, the two figures disappeared instantly.
