This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 288 Meeting the Saint
10 month 2 day.

After five days of driving, the prince and his entourage finally arrived in Lanling City.

A group of officials and a guard of honor were waiting outside the station early to welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The entire railway station was under martial law from 8 a.m. All trains stopped departing and other trains were prohibited from entering the station.

Those who want to catch the train can only wait outside the station.

No one dared to express dissatisfaction with this, after all, this was to make way for the current crown prince.

At 9:08 am, the special train entered the station.

A cordon had been set up in the square outside the station, and guards armed with real guns were keeping the crowd apart.

People who came here to catch the train and to watch the excitement gathered in the square, all looking forward to the exit of the station.

"I'm coming!"

The crowd suddenly became agitated.

I saw three people walking out of the exit first.

The leader was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, his noble temperament was evident at a glance, it was none other than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!

He held the arms of the two men, one on the left and one on the right, and walked out of the station with a smile on his face.

"Who are those two people?"

"That monk should be the youngest martial arts master in history, Master Mingqi of Pudu Temple."

"The one with the righteous look on his face should be the champion of this martial arts exchange competition, the No. 1 in history, Li Fei."

"."

People were talking about it and they all recognized who the people the Crown Prince was holding on his left and right were.

After all, the martial arts exchange competition that just ended was the first nationally televised competition in history. All major newspapers and radio stations reported on it. It was very popular across the country and had become a hot topic among the entire nation!

So now many people already know that Ming Qi has become the youngest martial arts master in history, and they also know that Li Fei is the champion of this competition.

It can be said that although the two came to Lanling City for the first time, this imperial capital already had their legends!

Today, in front of so many people, the prince took the two of them out of the station, showing a very respectful attitude. This matter will surely spread throughout Lanling City soon, making Li Fei and Ming Qi's reputation even higher.

Soon, the prince, Li Fei and Ming Qi got on a "Golden Dragon".

Like the 'Qilin', this is also a heavy bulletproof vehicle, and its defensive performance is better than that of the 'Qilin'!
However, the 'Golden Dragon' is exclusive to the royal family, and only members of the royal family can ride in this car when traveling.

Logically speaking, Li Fei and Ming Qi are not qualified to ride in this car.

But in full view of everyone, the prince personally invited the two to get in the car and ride in the same car with him.

Soon, the convoy passed through the outer city with great fanfare, entered the inner city, and finally entered the imperial city.

In a luxurious mansion in the inner city, a man with eyes and eyebrows somewhat similar to the prince was sitting by a pond fishing.

The man was also wearing a bright yellow dragon robe with eight dragon claws and four claws.

Second only to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince’s four-clawed nine-dragon robe!
"Your Highness."

A plain-looking maid walked up behind the man and recounted in detail what had happened at the train station today.

The man smiled after hearing this: "Our prince is still as good at winning people's hearts as always. Father asked him to go on a tour of the southwest, and he was able to bring back two firsts in history. Who wouldn't be convinced?"

A man who can wear a robe with four claws and eight dragons and call himself "father emperor" can only be a prince.

He was the third prince, born to Concubine Liu in the palace.

The plain-looking maid stood quietly behind the third prince, with no intention of responding.

The Third Prince didn't take it seriously and continued to ask:

"Xiaohua, in your opinion, what do you think of these two greatest men in history?"

The maid named Xiaohua said calmly:
"You can kill."

In her eyes, there are only two kinds of opponents in this world:
Those that can be killed and those that cannot be killed for the time being.

The third prince was also accustomed to this.

He suddenly pulled the fishing rod in his hand and caught a big, fat fish from the pond. He couldn't help but smile:

"Hey, you're hooked!"

"Master, please come this way."

Li Fei walked into a separate courtyard under the guidance of a maid.

He rode on the prince's 'golden dragon' and entered the imperial city. The prince was going to the palace next, so it was naturally impossible for him to take him and Mingqi in directly, so he arranged for the two to stay temporarily in the imperial city.

With the generosity of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it was of course impossible for him to arrange two rooms for two people, but instead he arranged a yard for each of them.

"If you have any needs, please tell me."

The maid who led the way bowed to Li Fei and spoke softly.

"I am going to practice in the courtyard. If the food is delivered, just leave it at the door. If it is not something important, don't let anyone come in and disturb me."

Li Fei ordered.

"Yes."

The maid bowed, then turned and said goodbye.

This time when he came to the imperial capital to meet the emperor, Li Fei's goal was very simple, which was to get a copy of "Vajra Babu".

But many things are beyond his control.

The imperial capital is filled with turbulent waters, and the current crown prince is undoubtedly at the center of the whirlpool!
When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince brought him into the Imperial City in such a high-profile manner today, Li Fei knew that it would be difficult for him to avoid many things.

On the special train, the prince said that he knew he would ascend the throne in the future, and he spoke with great confidence, but in fact his position was not unshakable.

Before coming here, Li Fei deliberately used his authority as a secret inspector to let Lu Mengyang give him some intelligence about the imperial capital:

The current emperor has seven princes and four princesses.

Apart from the Crown Prince, there are two princes who have the greatest reputation and power.

One eldest prince and one third prince.

These two princes have been fighting with the crown prince for more than a year or two.

The Eastern Palace was established early, whether for the purpose of balance or for the purpose of training the crown prince, a qualified emperor would deliberately foster one or two princes to "compete" with the crown prince.

Although this method is old-fashioned, it does work.

Li Fei naturally didn't want to be involved in the vortex of fighting among the princes, but the prince wanted to personally recommend him to the emperor, and he couldn't refuse.

Now I can only deal with it as it comes, hoping to get the "Vajra Eight Divisions" as soon as possible and then return to Datong Prefecture.

In the small courtyard, Li Fei continued his practice.

It was not until nightfall that Li Fei finished his practice. He walked to the door of the courtyard and opened it.

The maid had been standing outside the door. When she saw Li Fei open the door, she immediately bowed:
"Young Master, you have finished your training? But do you want to eat?"

"Correct."

"Please wait a moment, sir."

Then the maid left.

A few minutes later, she came over carrying a heavy food box.

Li Fei took the lunch box at the door, thanked the other party, and then walked back to the room to prepare for dinner.

The food box has several layers, which contain exquisite snacks and food, as well as a note.
Li Fei was startled, picked up the note, and after opening it, there was only one sentence on it:

"Tomorrow when you see the emperor, the eldest prince will make trouble for you!"

Li Fei carefully examined the note and found no other clues. He also found that the words on the note were fading rapidly until they disappeared completely. "Is this a magic?"

Li Fei guessed that this should be some kind of sophisticated magic that would be activated when touched by other people's eyes, making the writing disappear.

Who sent the note?
This is actually not difficult to guess, because if the prince wanted to remind Li Fei, there was no need to use this method.

The content of the note said that the eldest prince was going to attack Li Fei, so the person who secretly reminded him was most likely the third prince.

"I can see the emperor tomorrow? If the eldest prince wants to attack me, what means will he use?"

Li Fei thought for a moment and found that it was useless to worry in advance.

When it comes to a fight of this level, it's difficult for him to prepare anything in advance.

"Fortunately, this title of No. 1 in history is still useful."

Li Fei laughed at himself.

Then eat calmly and continue practicing after the meal.

In any case, only with stronger strength can you control your own destiny!
10 month 3 day.

At 5: in the morning, there was a knock on the door of the courtyard where Li Fei lived.

Li Fei quickly put on his clothes and went to open the door. An old eunuch stood outside the door and said to Li Fei with a smile:
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to tell you that you will see the Emperor today. Please follow me."

"Hold on."

Li Fei went back to the house, washed up briefly, took his ghost-slaying sword, and followed the old eunuch away.

The two of them quickly got into a car and drove to the outside of the palace wall.

Next, the old eunuch took Li Fei into the palace on foot.

Li Fei originally thought that he would be taken to a hall to meet the emperor, but he was taken to another courtyard first.

Next, someone changed his clothes, tidied his appearance, and then began to teach him various etiquette.

This whole process took nearly two hours.

Now Li Fei knew why he was brought into the palace so early.
Then, led by the old eunuch, he passed through palaces and entered a very wide square.

The first thing that catches your eye is the majestic and solemn palace right in front of you. Its height makes people look up involuntarily, as if to explore the end of the sky!

The roof of the main hall is covered with yellow glazed tiles, which sparkle with dazzling golden light under the sun, just like dragon scales. The eaves and corners are carved with exquisite blue auspicious cloud patterns, bearing the traces of time.

This is a place with more than 500 years of history!
This is the Zhenglan Palace, where the emperor of the Great Lan Dynasty and the civil and military officials held court meetings.

The Ziji Palace in the Cabinet Court and the Zhenglan Palace, one can be seen as the heart of the Great Lan Dynasty, and the other can be seen as the brain of the Great Lan Dynasty.

"Please wait here first, sir."

The old eunuch said to Li Fei with a smile.

Obviously, this meeting does not mean that Li Fei can go in and see the emperor immediately after arriving.

Even though he is already the number one in history, he does not have such weight now.

"it is good."

Li Fei looked at the vast square in front of him and the majestic palace in front of him, and a sentence inexplicably popped up in his mind:

"I was eighteen that year, standing like a minion."

He smiled and didn't think anything of it.

After a while, Mingqi, who was wearing a white monk's robe and looked as clean and transparent as glass, came over led by another eunuch.

Li Fei and Ming Qi looked at each other and nodded to each other.

Then the two of them waited quietly in the shadow of a palace wall.

The wait was over an hour.

Until one moment:
"Announcement, Mingqi of Pudu Temple, Li Fei of Wu'an University, audience——"

A somewhat sharp but very loud voice came from the hall in front and was clearly heard throughout the entire square.

Li Fei, who had been studying the Hunyuan Vajra Power with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes and calmed the power in his body.

"You two, please."

The two old eunuchs signaled to the two men.

Of course, Li Fei could not bring the Ghost Slayer Sword with him in, so it was left outside.

Then the two of them crossed the vast square, walked up hundreds of steps, and finally entered the Zhenglan Palace.

As you enter the hall, tall eaves columns support the entire space, and colorful paintings of dragons, phoenixes and seals jump between the beams and columns.

Civil and military ministers stood on the left and right sides of the hall.

Those who can participate in court meetings in this hall are at least fourth-rank officials.

Even officials appointed by the imperial court are not qualified to come in!

Li Fei walked up the middle path calmly until he and Ming Qi stopped when they were about 20 meters away from the Danbi in front of them.

"Commoner Li Fei."

"The little monk Mingqi."

"I have met His Majesty."

Li Fei bowed, Ming Qi put his hands together, and they bowed together.

The Da Lan Dynasty was founded on military power and treated martial arts masters with great favor.

The founding emperor Taizu established the rules:
Warriors above the Daoji stage can see you without kneeling!
So Li Fei and Ming Qi did not perform the kneeling ceremony, but just bowed.

"No need to be polite. Both of you, the first in history, raise your heads and let me have a good look."

A somewhat old voice came from the Danbi.

Li Fei raised his head upon hearing this, and now he could look at the emperor openly.

Sitting on the throne was a man who looked obviously old.

He is wearing a yellow silk dragon robe with vivid and lifelike embroidery, with nine five-clawed golden dragons baring their fangs and waving their claws, as if they will take off from the fabric at any time.

The man is the most respected and powerful person in the entire Da Lan Dynasty, and even in the whole world - His Majesty the Emperor of the Da Lan Dynasty!
Li Fei could clearly feel a sense of 'momentum' from the other party.

It is different from the mental power of martial arts masters, and also different from the mental illusion created by magic.

This is a kind of momentum that seems to be tangible, like the sun, moon and stars. Although it cannot be touched, even just one look at it can make people feel impressed!
Li Fei had even seen the Inspector General, but he had never felt such momentum from the so-called provincial governor.

It seems that the emperor of this world is not as simple as he imagined!
"Yes, he is indeed a peerless genius."

The emperor said with a smile.

I don't know how he figured it out.

"Father."

The prince stood up from his seat in the front row and walked out. "For this second martial arts exchange competition, after consulting all parties, I invited Pudu Temple to participate in the competition. In the end, Pudu Temple achieved the best results in this competition! This Master Mingqi even broke through on the spot and became the youngest martial arts master in history!"

His voice resounded throughout the hall, and he bowed to the emperor:
"Father, the thirteen universities and the three Taoist sects are all serving the country. Why not give a more outstanding sect like Pudu Temple a chance?"

"Well, what do you think, Prince?"

The emperor asked.

The prince gave his advice without hesitation:

"I think we can build more Buddhist temples, let Pudu Temple and other Buddhist temples in various places contribute manpower and manpower, and cultivate more talents for our Great Lan Dynasty!"

PS: I am going out of town to attend a friend's wedding today, so I can only update once today.
