Chapter 253 Imperial Mountain

"Why did you summon me so suddenly?"

Li Guanxuan asked Li Zhong with a puzzled look on his face as he headed to the Imperial Palace Fairy Mountain.

During this period of time, he occasionally exchanged letters with the empress. If there was anything, he could just explain it in the letter. There was no need to suddenly summon him to the palace for an audience.

Besides, he was not an official...

"I don't know either. Maybe the emperor wants to see you, young master."

Li Zhong followed behind Li Guanxuan and answered with a smile.

"Are there any rules on the Imperial Mountain?" Li Guanxuan asked.

After all, it was his first time to go to the Imperial Palace Fairy Mountain, and he understood that in the Immortal Dynasty of the Cultivation World, the entire Fairy Mountain was the Imperial Palace, which must be different from the Imperial Palace in the mortal world.

From a distance, the Imperial Mountain was surrounded by countless Fairy Mountains. It was the largest mountain in the sky, like a palace standing in the clouds.

Of course, anyone looking over there could only see clouds and mist and vague shadows.

Only those wearing official uniforms can use the magic power in the official uniforms to see the true appearance and climb the Imperial Mountain.

"It is no different from the mortal world. The only difference is that you can't fly in the air at will, otherwise you will be killed by the guards."

Li Zhong smiled and said, "If you think it's troublesome not to fly in the air, you can apply to the emperor for permission to fly in the air. In this way, you can enter and leave the Imperial Mountain freely."

"Goodbye, I just came back to Yongning, and I don't want to be so ostentatious in the city, so as not to attract the hatred of others." Li Guanxuan waved his hand and shook his head, looking at the approaching Imperial Mountain.

Li Guanxuan found that many officials of the Daheng Immortal Dynasty took flying boats to enter the palace from the southern mountain gate, while he, under the leadership of Li Zhong, could enter from the east gate.

The eastern mountain gate was also guarded by the guards. Two rows of soldiers stood on both sides of the huge mountain gate, with a firm and cold look, full of domineering momentum. People who were a little timid would probably be trembling at this moment.

"Mr. Li."

When the guard saw Li Zhong, he immediately came up and clasped his fists to show respect.

"Sir, this is Qian Hu Qiao Ju, who has reached the Nascent Soul stage." Li Zhong bowed and introduced Li Guanxuan.

Li Guanxuan was secretly surprised. A Qian Hu was actually at the Nascent Soul stage?

But Li Guanxuan thought about it and felt that it was quite normal.

Huangshan is the most important place in the Great Heng Immortal Dynasty. If there are no masters guarding the four mountain gates, if something happens, it will really be impossible to solve it in the first time.

You can't let the emperor handle everything personally.

How can thousands of clones not be enough?

During this period, Qiao Ju has heard the name Li Guanxuan a lot.

After all, the real body of the great eunuch Li Zhong went to Wujiu Mountain to guard it personally. How could Li Guanxuan's identity not attract attention?

"Your subordinate Qiao Ju, meet Mr. Li."

As a guard who often hangs out in Huangshan, Qiao Ju is not a person without vision, and immediately greeted Li Guanxuan.

"You're welcome, Captain Qiao."

Li Guanxuan bowed in return, smiling, without the arrogance of a family member.

Then, Li Zhong took Li Guanxuan inside and explained, "Inside the Imperial Mountain, you can travel by cloud or use the teleportation array to go to the palaces, which is very convenient.

Of course, each teleportation array will have a special guard to guard it. If you can't produce a permission order, the guard will kill you immediately."

Li Guanxuan nodded slightly. He also saw that there were guards guarding many places. The Imperial Mountain was extremely strict everywhere. Those who could become guards were basically cultivators in the Jindan realm.

Li Zhong seemed to know what Li Guanxuan was thinking, and smiled: "The reason why the guards are willing to serve in the Imperial Mountain is actually because of the good treatment and high salary. The emperor will prepare all the resources they need to break through the realm.

In addition, if they are stuck in a bottleneck and are not suitable for being guards in the Imperial Mountain, the emperor will arrange them to other places for training as appropriate."

"Gilding, right?" Li Guanxuan couldn't help laughing.

No wonder so many people are willing to be guards.

First of all, being a bodyguard for the empress, being able to perform in front of the empress, maybe you can get the appreciation of the refining boss, and the resources granted later are all great fortunes. Who wouldn't be happy to be a bodyguard?

Secondly, when being sent out, the guards with strong cultivation will definitely be reused somewhere, and once their cultivation breaks through in the future, they will definitely be promoted and reused.

In general, the guards are a gilding place, and people who go out of here will basically be no different.

In addition, they will be flattered by many people.

Li Zhong agreed with a smile, but he didn't say much.

What Li Guanxuan can say, he may not be able to say.

The two walked to a teleportation array, and when the guards saw clearly that it was Li Zhong, they put away their golden weapons.

"This array leads to the outside of Wuxia Palace, which is the emperor's bedroom."

Li Zhong explained, then looked at the teleportation array less than 50 meters away, and said: "That teleportation array leads to Ningshou Palace, which is the emperor's bedroom, located in the west."

As soon as the voice fell, Li Guanxuan noticed a group of people coming from afar on a cloud.

The leader was a man in brocade clothes, with eyes like torches, as if hiding the power of dragons and tigers. Under his seat was a ferocious black lion, all of which were staring at Li Guanxuan.

Behind the man were some followers, all of whom had high cultivation.

There were also many spiritual pets, with murderous auras, including double-winged flying dragons, white snake elephants, etc.

Li Zhong saw this person and greeted him in a flat tone: "I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Guanxuan was silent in his heart. The only person who could fight like this in Huangshan was probably Prince Daheng.

Prince Ji Zhenxiao got off the back of the black lion and slowly floated up on the clouds. He looked at Li Guanxuan with his eyes and bowed to Li Zhongzuo:

"Mr. Li, long time no see."

Li Zhong returned the gift.

"You must be Li Guanxuan, right?" Ji Zhenxiao asked with a smile on his face.

"Li Guanxuan, a common man, has met His Highness the Crown Prince." Li Guanxuan bowed.

"There is no need to be so polite. If we talk about seniority, your seniority may be higher than mine."

Ji Zhenxiao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Speaking of etiquette, I must salute you."

Li Guanxuan heard a hint of sarcasm in His Highness the Crown Prince's words and sighed inwardly.

However, before he could speak, Li Zhong said calmly from the side: "If His Highness the Crown Prince salutes, the Young Master can bear it."

Li Guanxuan: "???"

Are you helping me or hurting me?

Li Guanxuan's eyes widened. He never expected that Li Zhong would dare to touch his face and open his eyes wide!

Ji Zhenxiao's face suddenly became extremely gloomy.

"Li Zhong, how dare you humiliate His Highness the Crown Prince? Do you know your guilt?!"

Behind Ji Zhenxiao, an old man scolded angrily.

Li Zhong glanced at the old man and said indifferently: "If you talk nonsense again, I will kill you."

The old man was furious.

At this time, a voice came from the sky, sighing: "Okay, okay, stop bickering."

"Father, son..."

Hearing this, Ji Zhenxiao immediately knelt down towards the west. As soon as he said the words, he saw Li Guanxuan standing in front of him, his eyes glaring.

"Sorry, sorry..."

Li Guanxuan reacted quickly and walked around behind Li Zhong, wondering what the hell was going on!

He was standing there, but Ji Zhenxiao knelt down directly!

He didn't do anything!

"Okay, okay, get up. Stop being angry with Li Guanxuan. He will not pose any threat to your identity and status. Don't be too petty and be more relaxed. As long as you are a virtuous prince, your aunt will abdicate the throne sooner or later. It’s given to you, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

The sound was extremely loud and reached everyone's ears. Everyone knelt down in fear, blocking their five senses and not daring to hear or see.

When Li Guanxuan also planned to kneel down, Li Zhong held him up and prevented him from kneeling, so he knelt down instead.

Li Guanxuan looked confused again.

If Li Zhong doesn't let him kneel down, what does it mean to kneel down himself?

Everyone present, including spiritual pets, basically knelt down... He was the only one standing.

Does it fit?

This was not what shocked Li Guanxuan the most.

What really shocked Li Guanxuan were the words of the Supreme Emperor!

The Supreme Emperor knew what his son was going to do, so he stated it directly without fear of others hearing.

"Father, I have never had any intention of seizing the throne!" Ji Zhenxiao knelt down and bowed his head, and said loudly.

"You can just lie to me and your aunt about this, but don't lie to yourself."

The Supreme Emperor said calmly: "Okay, okay, I won't talk to you so much anymore. Come here by yourself and don't cause trouble."

"Yes, Father."

Ji Zhenxiao responded loudly, then stood up slowly and looked at Li Guanxuan meaningfully.

Li Guanxuan came to his senses and silently bowed to each other without saying anything else.

Everything you say in this scene is wrong, so it’s better to stay silent.

Ji Zhenxiao led people into the teleportation array, and disappeared completely as the white light enveloped them.

Li Guanxuan sighed and said, "Li Zhong, you are harming me."

"The prince is already unhappy with the young master. No matter how many nice things the young master says, he won't listen."

Li Zhong smiled and said: "It's better to be more sincere and say whatever you want."

"As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face... On the contrary, your words completely put me on the opposite side of him." Li Guanxuan sighed.

"Young master, please feel at ease." Li Zhong comforted him.

Li Guanxuan shook his head helplessly and walked into the teleportation array.

As the white light passed by, when I opened my eyes again, I saw a huge palace on the left. It was quite luxurious. The floor tiles were made of jade, and the aura was overflowing. Mysterious runes were engraved on it, vaguely forming a terrifying palace. formation.

I have learned a lot... Li Guanxuan murmured in his heart that such a formation could probably kill a great Void Refining Master.

Li Guanxuan was walking towards the palace, and the door slowly opened. The maids guarding on both sides lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly.

"Master, please, I'm waiting outside." Li Zhong bowed.

Li Guanxuan nodded slightly and then walked in.

When he stepped into the Immaculate Palace, Li Guanxuan felt a warmth wrap around his whole body. Many of the thoughts in his mind gradually eased. He no longer paid attention to those troubles and trivial matters, and his mood became much more stable.

"Sir, please."

A good-looking palace maid greeted Li Guanxuan with a smile and led him to the study room inside.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Li has arrived." The palace maid said softly.

"Let him in."

The familiar voice of Sister Yu came from the study room. It was still so stern, full of tone that could not be disobeyed, and full of queenly style.

When Li Guanxuan stepped in, he saw the familiar and beautiful woman sitting next to the desk, reviewing memorials, her brows full of majesty and a little less smiling.

What is different from a hundred years ago is that the beautiful woman is now wearing a white dragon robe.

In the past, she was always dressed in a neat white dress, without the Nine Dragons crown on her head, and her severity revealed a hint of gentleness and thoughtfulness.

"I am Li Guanxuan, a humble man, and I greet His Majesty."

When Li Guanxuan saw the empress again, he was unsure of her thoughts, so he saluted honestly.

The empress put down her brush, glanced over, and said with a smile: "Why, do you feel strange?"

Li Guanxuan laughed dryly: "A little bit."

"Come here, sit next to me."

The empress waved her hand, and a smile appeared on her beautiful face. She gently patted the empty seat next to her, motioning Li Guanxuan to sit over.
