After binding the investment system, I began to cultivate the empress

Half an hour later, the clouds and rain in the imperial capital finally cleared up, and three suns emerged from behind the clouds again.

However, the scene of the grand event, which was bustling and lively just now, is now solemn and murderous. No matter who is present, they must be questioned by the patrol guards, and anyone who is suspicious will be arrested first.

All the civil and military officials and the various gates were silent, because even a fool knew how tense the atmosphere in the imperial city was right now.

Most people still don’t know what happened in Jiangshan Shejitu and why both sides suddenly stopped fighting.

I don't know how the situation will develop next...

The picture of the country and the people still hangs high in the sky.

Tianren City is still open.

Li Mo used wine to control the beautiful master, asking her to behave herself and not bite anyone, and then went to help Huang Donglai verify his identity. Only then did he have time to think.

"Since the agreement has been made, will there be any changes to the candidates for the Heavenly Man Trial?"

"Ah? Brother Li, you still want to enter Tianren City?"

Huang Donglai looked solemn as he took out the antidote and handed it to the eager-eyed Pighead Lan Tian before saying:

"This matter involves the struggle between the imperial court, the Demon Summoning Sect, and the Eighth Realm. The situation is treacherous and ever-changing. If you are not careful, you will be shattered to pieces."

"Oh, yeah, why didn't you run away?"

Li Mo came to his senses and found that Old Huang was still here.

Lan Tian secretly turned his gaze and looked at the overly steady Flying Poison Two-Faced Turtle.

Huang Donglai touched the back of his head and looked around cautiously. When he couldn't find the person who was watching, he sighed:

"If it were any other time, I wouldn't even be in the Imperial Capital."

"Me too."

Li Mo nodded in agreement.

Following his gaze, Huang Donglai saw Ying Bing not far away. He opened his mouth but did not try to persuade her anymore.

At this time, the purple-robed eunuch who had just presided over the grand event walked out from the crowd.

He bowed:

"Young Master Li, Miss Ying, please."

These eunuchs belonged to Emperor Jingtai, so it goes without saying who invited them.

Emperor Jingtai wants to see me and Bingtuozi?

Li Mo didn't think too much about it. After looking at Ying Bing, he nodded and followed the purple-robed eunuch.

This was his first time entering the imperial city.

The entire imperial city is made up of tall palaces, and now there is a guard post every five steps and a sentry every ten steps.

The further you go, the more exotic flowers and plants you see, such as wisteria casting down rosy clouds and forget-me-nots shining with starlight, which are too numerous to take in.

Li Mo was not stage-frightened. Unlike the palace maids around him who lowered their heads for fear of being seen too much, he looked around curiously.

Ying Bing looked straight ahead with a clear and cold expression.

Suddenly, her eyes moved and she saw a wooden stick on the side of the road.

"Ok?"

Li Mo felt someone poking his waist.

Looking back, I saw Ying Bing holding a long and straight wooden stick in his hand, with a bright smile in his eyes.

"Oh my god, Bingtuozi, where did you find the magic sword?"

"Just picked it up on the roadside."

"Let me play with it."

Xiao Li's eyes lit up, and he took the "magic sword" and made a cold, icy face.

With a lonely look on his face, he said, "The road is long, and only the sword is my companion", and then he started to use the EQ combo and the Gale of Death in the imperial garden.

"Hey, Young Master Li, Little Ancestor Li!"

"Ok?"

"These are all rare flowers and plants brought from all over the place, a collection of the best. They are extremely valuable. If you treat them like this, His Majesty will blame you later..."

"What kind of radish meeting?"

"??? Young Master Li, you're already a grown man, and you're still playing this kind of trick!"

The purple-robed eunuch was sweating profusely and could only look to the side for help.

Fairy Han, please say something and take care of him!

But then he remembered that the "divine sword" was originally picked up by Ying Bing for him.

Fairy Han, it would be fine if you just ignored him, but why are you still being childish with him?

Before the purple-robed eunuch could catch his breath, the scene he saw when he looked up almost made him lose his soul.

In the Peony Pavilion in the Imperial Garden, Emperor Jingtai, wearing a dragon robe, with his crown removed and his hair tied with a black gold crown, stood there with his hands behind his back with a serious expression, examining Li Mo.

He started talking:

"You came."

"..."

When the swordsman Xiao Li and Emperor Jingtai exchanged glances, they did not bow nervously, nor did they lower their heads and stop their mischief.

Instead, he stopped with a grim look on his face:

"You knew I was coming?"

Emperor Jingtai was startled and sighed:

"You shouldn't have come."

"But I'm still here."

Purple-robed eunuch: “?”

What's this about?

"In that case, you probably have the confidence to defeat me. Go ahead."

"Okay, look at the sword!"

Purple-robed eunuch: “????”

No, His Majesty asked you to take action, are you really going to chop?

What is the situation now? Should he shout for protection?

at this time.

Swordsman Xiao Li soared into the air, his magic sword was ethereal and no trace could be found. This move was so wonderful that it seemed to fall from the sky.

However, the two palms are like a net that drags all rivers into the sea.

Afraid--

Emperor Jingtai used his bare hands to catch the blade!

The two looked at each other, and it was Emperor Jingtai who spoke first with a smile:

"Where did you find this fine sword? Why don't you give it to me?"

"It originally belonged to His Majesty, but it had been in the Imperial Garden the entire time. Ying Bing just found it for me."

“…”

Emperor Jingtai looked at Li Mo and Ying Bing.

One is sunny and cheerful, the other is as quiet as a virgin, but they happen to be together and seem surprisingly harmonious.

There was a bit more complexity in his smile: "Forget it, you should keep it. I already have it, but it doesn't belong to me. I can hold it in my hands again."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

Swordsman Xiao Li was not polite at all and was even happier than if he had won a gold medal bestowed by the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you okay?"

The purple-robed eunuch came up hurriedly.

"When I was traveling around the martial arts world, I wasn't an unknown person. I haven't taken action for a long time, so I'd like to stretch my muscles."

"Indeed, Your Majesty's martial arts attainments are extraordinary."

Li Mo gave a thumbs up.

Emperor Jingtai sat back in his seat, his expression becoming serious:

"With you fighting for Dayu, I can rest assured."

“Why choose us?”

Ying Bing seemed to have seen something from Emperor Jingtai and asked her question.

This is also what Li Mo is a little curious about.

The struggle in Tianren City has now escalated to Dayu and the resurrected Blood God. It is not simply a reward for the top three Qianlongs, but rather a test.

There are many strong people in Dayu, but no matter how talented they are, they are only at the third level.

Emperor Jingtai was silent for a moment and said:

"It's okay to tell you this. It was Old Lady Yantian who recommended you two to me. At first, I also felt that this burden was too heavy for you to bear."

As he spoke, a smile appeared on his face again:

"But just now, I felt that what the old lady said was right. You two are just right for each other!"

"If Tianren City could be unlocked by reaching a higher realm, it wouldn't have been wandering around in the Jiangshan Sheji Tu for so long."

The difficulties and tests in Tianren City have nothing to do with realm?

Li Mo thought of this possibility.

"Go to the Mountain and River Palace and wait. Don't let me down."

"You will definitely live up to your destiny."

Li Mo also became serious.
