Chapter 553 Unexpected

"Master Xiao, take the Star Gate to the Western Wilderness as quickly as possible and hand it over to the White Deer Sect."

Ling Yun said: "Also, Princess Changning, you are already a disciple of the White Deer Sect, and it is time to return to the sect. Before that, you can bring the people you care about most in your family with you."

"Thank you, Master."

Princess Changning said gratefully.

In the past, the Eastern Land was the most prosperous place in the ancient continent.

But with the subsequent invasion of monsters, Eastern Earth will surely become the most dangerous place.

After Xiao Ning and Princess Changning left, Ling Yun said to Zhang Tieniu: "Dean, take me to see the emperor."

"You follow me."

Zhang Tieniu took Ling Yun and walked towards the palace.

When they arrived outside the palace, the two were stopped by guards.

Zhang Tieniu didn't talk nonsense about the rain guards and directly took out the imperial order given to him by the emperor. Those who hold the imperial order can go to see the emperor directly.

"It turns out to be Mr. Taishi, please!"

The guards didn't dare to stop him anymore.

Next, the two went through numerous inspections and finally arrived in front of a magnificent palace.

This is the Hall of Supreme Harmony of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the residence of the emperor.

Standing outside the main hall, Ling Yun couldn't help but sigh, the strength of the Great Zhou Palace was really strong.

Along the way, he had already sensed several peak Martial Saint-level qi machines.

Even though he has greatly improved in strength now, if he dares to act recklessly in this palace, he will still be in trouble.

This is undoubtedly the place with the most experts on the ancient continent.

Under the leadership of Zhang Tieniu, Ling Yun stepped into the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"Zhang Taishi, you are well."

A mellow and deep voice sounded.

Ling Yun looked up and found a middle-aged man in his forties standing in the hall.

Is this person the Emperor of Zhou?

Ling Yun frowned.

Although this middle-aged man's cultivation is not weak, he is a peak martial saint, which is terrifying, but he is not a martial emperor.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince?"

At this time, Zhang Tieniu had a strange look on his face, "I am paying homage to His Highness the Crown Prince. I wonder where His Majesty the Emperor is?"

Ling Yun was relieved, it turned out that this man was not the emperor, but Zhao Kang, the prince of Zhou Dynasty.

Zhao Kang said calmly: "Zhang Taishi, you came at the wrong time. Due to some special reasons, my father cannot come to see you."

Zhang Tieniu's pupils were slightly condensed.

Obviously this is the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the residence of His Majesty the Emperor.

As a result, Prince Zhao Kang appeared here and told him that His Majesty the Emperor could not come to see him?

"Please tell me clearly, His Majesty the Crown Prince, why can't His Majesty the Emperor come to see me?"

Zhang Tieniu said directly: "I obviously talked with His Majesty the Emperor Bing Zhuye seven days ago, and he asked me to come and see him when I have time. Why is there a special reason now?"

"Since it's a special reason, it's definitely not convenient to say."

Zhao Kang said: "It is better for Zhang Taishi to come back. When my father is free in the future, he will naturally summon you again."

"Your Highness, I want to see His Majesty the Emperor with my own eyes. If His Majesty the Emperor lets me go, I will leave without hesitation."

Zhang Tieniu did not give in.

Zhao Kang's eyes suddenly turned cold and he sneered: "Zhang Taishi, since you want to see my father so much, then go to the side hall and wait. Someone, please send Zhang Taishi and Ling Yun to the side hall to rest."

As he finished speaking, several Ouchi guards suddenly appeared around him.

With the strength of Zhang Tieniu and Ling Yun, it is not a problem to deal with these imperial guards.

But in this way, even if they use force inside the palace, it will definitely be a taboo.

Suddenly, the two could only endure it and were taken to the side hall by the Ouchi guards.

After entering the side hall, the two found that the door outside was closed and restricted.

Not only that, they sensed that Ouchi guards were constantly mobilized from all around to completely seal off the side hall.

Little did the two of them know that they were under house arrest.

For a moment, both of their expressions became extremely solemn.

"It's something serious. I'm afraid something might have happened to His Majesty the Emperor."

When Zhang Tieniu said this, cold sweat broke out on his face.

This is really scary.

He had never thought about this situation before coming here.

Who would have thought that something might happen to His Majesty the Emperor of Zhou, a mighty and powerful Emperor Wu.

What he is most worried about now is what happened to His Majesty the Emperor of Zhou. If he dies, the world will really fall apart.

"Dean, don't worry too much."

As if knowing Zhang Tieniu's thoughts, Ling Yun said calmly: "If His Majesty the Emperor has passed away, they don't need to be so secretive. From my inference, His Majesty the Emperor is not dead, but is in danger of death."

Even so, it's still shocking.

The emperor was Emperor Wu, and he was only over a hundred years old.

For a Martial Emperor, this was the prime of life.

Hearing what Ling Yun said, Zhang Tieniu also calmed down.

He is not stupid, he was just too shocked and flustered before, so much so that he lost his calm judgment.

Now his mood has calmed down a lot, and his thinking has become more active.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince has a problem."

Zhang Tieniu said.

"Of course, if the emperor dies, he will be the biggest beneficiary, so if something happens to the emperor, he will definitely be the person who least expects the emperor to resolve the crisis."

Ling Yun said.

At this time, Zhang Tieniu seemed to have thought of something and looked at Ling Yun: "Ling Yun, your alchemy talent is only as good as your martial arts talent. If something happens to His Majesty the Emperor, can you save him?"

"There are no absolutes in anything. After all, I haven't seen the emperor with my own eyes yet, and I don't know what his condition is."

Ling Yun said: "But I can say that as long as he is not dead, I have hope of being rescued.

But now, we are under house arrest. If I can't solve this dilemma, even if I can save him, it seems to be of no use. "

Hearing this, Zhang Tieniu did not despair, but his eyes brightened.

"Don't worry about this, we may not have other opportunities."

Then Ling Yun noticed that Zhang Tieniu came to the window and looked at an imperial guard outside.

The inner guard remained calm, as if he didn't know anything, but he was walking toward the outskirts of the hall in secret.

When Ling Yun saw this, he suddenly smiled in his heart. It seemed that Zhang Tieniu was not the Taishi for nothing, and he also had his own power in the palace.

the other side.

In the main hall of Taihe.

After Ling Yun and Zhang Tieniu were taken away, several figures walked out from behind the hall.

If anyone else was here, they would be shocked when they saw these figures.

Because among these people, the graceful and luxurious woman in the middle is the current Queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the other figures are also important ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Your Highness, Zhang Tieniu is nothing to worry about, but Ling Yun beside him is a master of alchemy, and according to our observation, his alchemy skills are very likely to surpass that of the master, and no less than that of the Alchemy Sage."

An old man said: "This person must be guarded against."

This old man is the prince and tutor Fu Zhengyi, a real important minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Just kill this person?"

Xue Tangdao, the Minister of Household Affairs.

Several ministers nearby also agreed. Although they did not believe that Ling Yun could save the emperor, they still suggested nipping this threat in the bud.
