The words spoken by Emperor Qiankun contained obvious personal emotions, which sounded extremely real to Ling Xiao's ears. They were a little different from the indifferent tone before. Ling Xiao was still a little confused. Now Emperor Qiankun just seemed to be having a heart-to-heart talk with him, saying some irrelevant things, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

The Qiankun Emperor spoke again: "I'm thinking that you must be thinking in your mind right now that I protected you all the way from Hongyan City to here, but I said these nonsense to you. For what?"

Emperor Qiankun had already said everything he wanted to say, so Ling Xiao could only say so. He said, "It is indeed true."

Emperor Qiankun said: "I want you to help me do some things, but the decision-making power of whether to do this or not is entirely left to you."

Ling Xiao secretly said: "This powerful person in Qiankun Continent has the same power as King Qian and King Kun. If you want me to do anything, just say it directly. Why are you so embarrassed to say it?"

Emperor Qiankun said: "You have just come to Qiankun Imperial City, but there are still many things that you should not be clear about. Now you have to live in Qiankun Imperial City for some time. I have sent Chu Wen to arrange a place for you. When some time passes, you will know."

Ling Xiao's heart skipped a beat. He didn't know that this might be house arrest in disguise. After all, he was already in Qiankun Imperial City. If he was allowed to live here for a day, it would be a day, and if he stayed here for a year, it would be a year. , unless he gets some chance, he can't escape.

But now there is no way, his people are already here, Ling Xiao can only sigh softly in his heart, knelt down and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty for your kindness."

Emperor Qiankun said: "You can go out on your own."

This was the first time that Ling Xiao had heard of the main hall where he had to push the door open and walk out. Now he followed the etiquette of retreating from the hall, stepped back slowly and walked out, turned around and opened the door. This was The door that required a huge amount of strength to push from the outside was easily opened by Ling Xiao from the inside.

When he went out, the door suddenly closed, and Chu Wen was already waiting at the door.

The residence given to Ling Xiao was a house at the southern corner of Qiankun Imperial City. It was naturally magnificent and the facilities inside were extremely luxurious.

When Ling Xiao arrived at the residence, Mo Lanxi, Ling Tianfang, and Zhu Siru were in a gracefully decorated room. It looked like a girl's room. The two women were rummaging through the exquisite clothes in the closet. They were all girls. , it is human nature to love beauty.

There were two or three pieces of clothing stacked on the table. They were all of light styles, mostly in goose yellow and emerald green. Ling Xiao stretched out his hand to touch these clothes, picked up one and looked at it carefully.

Ling Tianfang was sitting on the table eating cakes from the bowl. Looking at Ling Xiao's frowning expression, he asked, "What, did something happen when you met Emperor Qiankun?"

Ling Xiao shook his head, looked at the clothes on the table, and said: "Every one of these clothes is in accordance with the style, down to the smallest detail, and was customized according to our body shape before we came. This Emperor Qiankun has already found out all about our background."

Hearing this, Mo Lanxi also put down the clothes in his hands and said: "When I saw these clothes just now, I also thought of this, but we are now in the territory of Emperor Qiankun, and every step is dangerous. Emperor Qiankun just now When I summoned you, what matters were discussed?"

"We chatted for a few words," Ling Xiao put the clothes in his hands back on the table: "I can't figure out his intention, and then let me stay in the imperial city for a while, and then I will He asked me to do something for him, but I didn’t elaborate on what it was.”

There was some doubt and melancholy in Mo Lanxi's tone: "According to this, we are now in a dilemma."

Ling Xiao stood up with a smile and said: "After all, we have arrived here. Let's take a good tour of Qiankun Imperial City first. After all, we will live here forever."

Zhu Siru, who was gesturing with his clothes, put down his clothes and said, "Then let's go out together."

She had just recovered from her fatigue, and now it was time to go out for a walk. Ling Xiao smiled and stretched out her hand to hold Zhu Siru's hand.

Zhu Siru also smiled and held his hand, and the two of them walked in front.

Ling Xiao only thought that Zhu Siru was his sister, while Zhu Siru had thoughts about Ling Xiao. Although the two of them had different thoughts, they seemed to be a loving couple at the moment.

Ling Tianfang put down the food on the table and followed behind the two of them. Mo Lanxi looked at the backs of Ling Xiao and Zhu Siru holding each other's arms, and looked dazed for a moment, but did not show anything on his face. Too many emotions came and followed behind.

As a group of people walked on the street, Ling Xiao glanced at the map of the Qiankun Imperial City, and naturally became familiar with various locations in the Qiankun Imperial City. The Qiankun Imperial City was divided into the inner city of Qiankun Palace, the middle city of the Royal City, and The outer city is divided into three cities. The inner city is the residence of Emperor Qiankun. All the martial arts cultivators, officials and the main force of the Imperial Guard who govern Emperor Qiankun are in this inner city. The middle city is where the kings and grandsons live. It is a place where nobles live, and those who can live and love it all have the blood of the royal family in their bodies.

The management of the Central City is relatively strict, and ordinary people are not allowed to live in the Central City. Unless they are specially promoted by Emperor Qiankun, they will not be able to live in the Central City even if they have great achievements.

As for the outer city, only the slightly weaker princes, nobles, and wealthy businessmen can live here, as well as some elite and capable people who came here from the entire Qiankun Continent, who want to live in this imperial city. Find a new livelihood.

It is said that the forces of the two kings of Qiankun and Kun outside the Qiankun Imperial City are intertwined and complex. The only person who can pass through these forces to get here is someone like Ling Xiao who is secretly protected by the forces of the Qiankun Emperor. They are extremely powerful people. .

What Ling Xiao was visiting at the moment was the outer city, which could be considered a mixed place under the imperial city.

As for the middle city, when Ling Xiao just entered the city, he received a lot of uncomfortable looks in the middle city. Moreover, the middle city was full of magnificent buildings built by nobles and nobles, and there was nothing interesting about it.

Walking along the street, they arrived at a market. Ling Tianfang and Zhu Siru were still young and girls at heart, so they wandered around, while Ling Xiao and Mo Lanxi followed them. Behind him, he watched the two of them walking around like brothers looking after their own children.

At this time, Mo Lanxi suddenly said in a clear voice: "You have frowned a lot more recently than before. You must be hiding something from us."

Ling Xiao did not expect that Mo Lanxi would suddenly ask this question, and immediately replied subconsciously: "No, it's just that there have been a lot of changes and events recently..."

"You can hide it from others, but you haven't hidden it from me. I don't know why. It seems that the only time you lie to me is, the emotion on your face is real. It's probably because of Si Ru's illness. I

Although I don't understand medical science, I can still see it after all.

Come here, stay with Siru often, and her fatigue symptoms will not happen once or twice..." Mo Lanxi looked forward, but his words were directed at Ling Xiao: "It can make you feel troublesome.

Yes, it must be a serious illness."

Ling Xiao was at a loss for words. After all, he still couldn't tell a perfect lie to this former "master". The mark Mo Lanxi left on his heart was too deep. He also had a confidante in his previous life.

But only the figure of Moran Xi lingered in his mind.

If I keep it secret now, it will only increase the distance.

Ling Xiao sighed softly and said: "Since you have noticed it, let me tell you that Zhu Siru's illness is three-yin-deficient pulse, and his life span is no more than five years."

"What?!" Mo Lanxi was startled and almost screamed. She took a big breath from her chest. Then she seemed to have come back to her senses and said, "How did you know that?"

…”

Suddenly, a series of loud shouts came from the front: "Prince Ning is here in person, everyone kneels down and worships!"

This order seemed to carry absolute authority. In an instant, all the people in front, vendors, and pedestrians walking on the street dispersed to both sides, making way for a path, and all the people on their knees

He knelt down and nodded lowly.

Ling Xiao was shocked. This was the etiquette of kneeling down to worship the emperor. This person had to kneel down to greet him. Could it be that his power was not greater than that of Emperor Qiankun?

But Ling Xiao did not dare to neglect. He was good at human relations and sophistication. He immediately pulled Mo Lanxi to the roadside. Ling Tianfang and Zhu Siru were also from a large clan. He naturally understood these principles and followed the big flow to both sides of the road.

They all knelt down and worshiped.

Leading the way was a column of ceremonial guards, with red-clad Imperial Guards on both sides. Behind them, a gloomy-looking man rode a tall horse and rode slowly past. After that, there was a canopy dome, with the faces of the people inside looking at it.

It's not quite clear, but it must be Prince Ning, who came in a column, with more than a hundred or ten people.

Compared with the empty figure of Emperor Qiankun, this is the aristocratic style.

Ling Xiao turned to look at the people on both sides. These people reacted so quickly. They were obviously used to it. Did Prince Ning often do this trick?

But the faces of the people on the left and right mostly showed anger, fear, and indifference.

In short, no one has a happy or pious expression. Looking at their appearance, they seem to be quite afraid of this Prince Ning.

What's going on?

Suddenly, the majestic man on the horse waved his hand, signaling the entire honor guard to stop, and the entire path forward came to a standstill.

Ling Xiao looked sideways in both directions. All the people lowered their heads, and some even pressed their noses to the ground.

I saw a hand sticking out from the gauze curtain on the car, pointing in a direction.

The man standing on the horse nodded, turned over and dismounted, walked to the direction pointed out, and said to a girl in brocade clothes: "Lift your head."

The girl raised her head, she had a beautiful face, with curved eyebrows, bright eyes and white teeth, but the look on her face was a little scared.

The hand under the gauze curtain stretched out again and made a gentle gesture toward his head.

The man nodded toward the gauze curtain, turned back, and said to the girl: "Prince Ning has taken a fancy to you and wants to take you as his concubine. Please go with our honor guard."

The girl's face showed an extremely frightened look. A handsome young man stood up and said in a panic: "This military master, Lan'er is my fiancée. We are already married..."

The man shot out a palm from the air, and the handsome young man flew towards the back, hit the wall and then fell down. The sound of cracking bones was heard, and the young man spat out a large mouthful of blood. He only had half a life left.
