Regulation starts at night

Chapter 132

"Xue Qing, have you ever understood the meaning of this banquet?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I understand. This banquet will determine the life and death of my younger brother."

The Holy Empress smiled coldly, turned around, looked at the sea of ​​stars above the sky, and said indifferently: "His life and death have already been doomed."

Xue Xingchuan was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, he didn't quite understand what the Holy Empress meant.

Literally, this sentence has two meanings.

One is that the Holy Empress never doubted Zhou Tong, and she would not let him die.

Second, the Holy Empress did not intend to protect Zhou Tong, she would hand over the sword that would determine Zhou Tong's life and death to Tangning.

These two completely different meanings come from the same sentence.

Zhou Tong is the Chief Official of the Qing Officials Department, and he is a third-rank official in the country, and he is deeply trusted by His Majesty.

If it wasn't for the fact that the demons were involved this time, and if it wasn't Tangning, a powerful man in the holy realm, who discovered this matter, Xue Xingchuan believed that Zhou Tong would be safe and sound.

But the facts are in front of us. When all these things are gone, whether His Majesty will be willing to make Tang Ning an enemy after breaking up with the Pope is not certain.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhou Tongzhou, the chief official of the Qing Dynasty, please see me."

Just as Xue Xingchuan was thinking silently, a female official walked in from outside the hall, came behind the Holy Empress, and said softly.

"Xuan."

The extremely simple word seemed to convey some kind of signal, Xue Xingchuan frowned, cupped his hands, and slowly exited the hall.

As long as His Majesty is willing to see Zhou Tong, it means that His Majesty is willing to give him a chance.As for whether Zhou Tong can grasp the opportunity, it can only depend on himself.

When Xue Xingchuan stepped out of the hall, he saw Zhou Tong anxiously climbing up the steps in front of the hall.

There are hundreds of steps in the area, and it is not a problem for Zhou Tong in the star-gathering realm in normal times.

But today, his face was covered with sweat, and his footsteps were hurried and chaotic.

When he was facing Xue Xingchuan, Xue Xingchuan wanted to remind him, but found that Zhou Tong passed him without hesitation.

Xue Xingchuan looked at Zhou Tong's anxious expression, and after silently pondering, he watched him enter the hall, then turned and left with a sigh.

He knew that Zhou Tongxu was too anxious to talk to himself.Xue Xingchuan can understand his brother's thoughts, and he also believes that what Zhou Tong is doing now is the best solution.

Begging the Holy Empress for a sin, maybe there is still a chance of survival.If you do nothing, or take the opportunity to escape, then there is only one dead end.

In the main hall, the Holy Empress heard slightly frivolous footsteps behind her, raised her eyes slightly, and glanced at Zhou Tong, the chief official of the Qing Dynasty who was kneeling under her highness.

"Zhou Qing, you are so flustered, what's the matter?"

Zhou Tong was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and immediately the corners of his mouth turned up, secretly delighted.

You must know that Zhou Tong has a face-to-face saint, and the empress empress has never called Zhou Qing.

Today, His Majesty calls it like that, which naturally represents His Majesty's position?

He is the dog in front of the Holy Empress, so he naturally understands how important the owner's position is when the dog bites the wrong person.If the biting incident displeases the master, it will naturally not end well.

"Report to Your Majesty, today I learned an unbelievable piece of information from a demon spies in prison."

The Holy Empress did not ask, but frowned slightly, glanced at Zhou Tong, and asked, "What news?"

"Your Majesty, I learned from the spies of the demons that someone from our human race seems to have been included in the must-kill book of the demons."

"It's just that the spy of the demon clan has a low status and doesn't know the identity of that person. In other words, in the entire demon clan, there are only a few people who can clearly know who this person is."

"According to what the demon spies said, this person has a very high level of cultivation. He entered the forbidden area of ​​the demons six years ago and brought out some kind of holy relic of the demons from the forbidden area. Let the people of the Demon Race find the trace of this person as soon as possible."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

The Holy Empress frowned slightly, and glanced sideways at Zhou Tong who was prostrate on the ground.

"The subordinates didn't believe it at all. After all, the demon king of the demon clan has a high level of cultivation. It is really unimaginable that this person can enter the forbidden area of ​​the demon clan and take away the sacred objects of the demon clan from the forbidden area."

"But today, I heard what happened outside the city gate, so I rushed to the front. After witnessing the cultivation of the dean of Mingde Academy, I also got some hints from the words of the devil's spy lurking in the clean official department. Thinking about it, The person who made the Demon King furious is the head of Mingde Academy."

"Your Majesty, I'm guilty of letting the secret work of the demons get mixed into the official department. This is my dereliction of duty. I'm willing to accept any punishment from Your Majesty, even if it means taking my life."

"It's just that this matter is of great importance. Now that the demons are angry, once the demon king finds out that the head of Mingde Academy is in the capital, he may bring an army of demons to invade our human territory. The life and death of ministers is a small matter, but the life and death of all living beings in the world Big deal."

"If you let this matter go unnoticed, there will be a repeat of the human-devil war. At that time, our human race will definitely be devastated. It has been nearly 200 years since the last human-devil war. Now the world will restore peace, and it is really inappropriate to break out of war."

The holy queen said nothing, just looked at Zhou Tong quietly, with a hint of interest in those beautiful eyes.

"Zhou Qing, what do you mean to ask me to drive Tangning away in order to protect the lives of the human race?"

It was the first time Zhou Tong knew Tangning's name, but from the questioning of the Holy Empress, Zhou Tong keenly sensed something was wrong.

Zhou Tong prostrated himself on the ground with a look of thought, and after a few breaths, he spoke loudly.

"Your Majesty, I know that my cultivation base is low, so I dare not start a conflict with President Tang. It is not because I hate President Tang that I fabricate a lie to wrong President Tang. It is indeed my negligence of duty to infiltrate the Department of Cleaning Officials with the secret work of the demon clan. The minister has nothing to say."

"But compared with the personal life and death of the minister, the peace of the Great Zhou Dynasty is the most important thing. Today, the minister's words are all from the bottom of my heart. I hope that your majesty can make a decision soon."

"Zhou Qing, you don't have to be like this. I naturally believe in you. You are the great Zhou An Ning, and you have received countless notorieties, so I naturally understand. I already know what you said, and you stand back. After I meet with Tangning tonight Discuss the matter again."

Hearing what the Holy Empress said, Zhou Tong bowed and left after agreeing.

After leaving the court hall, Zhou Tong raised his lowered head quietly, and a smug look appeared in those narrow eyes.

He knew that his life should be regarded as saved.

But what he didn't know was that when he bowed and bowed his head to exit the court hall, the holy empress on the dragon chair had a touching smile on her lips.

This smile is very unusual and full of complex meanings.

Inside Baihua Lane, Tangning and He Ping and Hao Yun stood in front of the gate of Mingde Academy.

"Yun'er, you are the No. 5 disciple of my master, and also the most special one. My teacher hopes that you will enter Mingde Academy today, and you will be clear-minded and virtuous in the future."

Hao Yun bowed and saluted, and said softly: "Teacher, Yun'er will definitely live up to Master's expectations."

Tangning smiled, and looked at the faintly visible bolt of lightning that was still hanging in the air.

"Xixi, is there any way to get rid of this lightning bolt?"

"Master, this bolt of lightning is a thousand calamity. The appearance of this thunderbolt means that your apprentice has survived 999 calamities. As long as he survives this thunderstorm, he will disappear automatically. When it is another thousand calamities, It will appear again. However, the calamity of a thousand calamities becomes more and more fierce every time, and when the calamity of thousands of calamities is passed, one can become a saint."

Hearing this, Tangning thought for a moment before opening her mouth.

"But Yun'er has never practiced cultivation now, so should he use the body of a mortal to survive the catastrophe?"

"Master, Hao Yun was born from the transformation of the Yin fruit of Liangyi. Every time he survives a catastrophe, he will benefit endlessly, whether it is physically or in cultivation. Although he has never practiced, as long as the master guides him into the Tao, he can instantly Get stronger."

"Huh? How strong will Hao Yun be after he enters the Dao?"

"Based on the calculation of his thousand calamities, he can reach the peak of Tongyou. If he can survive the thousand calamities, he can enter the initial state of gathering stars in an instant."

"Peak of Tongyou? But the power of this tribulation thunder is far from comparable to Tongyou. Are you sure Hao Yun can survive it?"

"This, master, Xixi is just guessing, not sure."

"Then can I postpone his calamity of a thousand calamities?"

"Master, although it is possible, Xixi does not recommend doing so. After all, Hao Yun can continue to experience the calamity after the Thousand Tribulations have passed. The existence of the ancestor of the Holy Light destined the master's future to be extremely dangerous."

"If the master can accumulate enough power before its arrival, the danger in the future will be much less."

PS: Get up early tomorrow and go to the hospital, that’s all for today.Everyone also rest early, good night.
