In the main hall of the palace, Xia Chen was looking at a list of people who had arrived in the past few days.
"Mister Shui Jing-Sima Wei…"
"Huang Chengyan, a famous person in Mianyang…"
"Nan Yang, Huang Zhong…"
Looking at the name list, there were only a few people who came. Where were the others?
Xia Chen couldn't help but frown. With a sharp gaze, he asked,""Just these few people. Where are the others? Why aren't they coming?”
All the officials looked at each other, but none of them spoke. They had no idea what was going on.
"Your Majesty, when I returned, I encountered many mo soldiers who tried to stop me, but I killed them all.”
Lu Bu suddenly slashed out and cupped his hands.""This general suspects that the people His Majesty summoned might be the same as this general. They were attacked by demon soldiers on the way.”
"Demon weapon?" Xia Chen's eyes narrowed, flickering with a dangerous light. He had obviously guessed something.
Perhaps the demon had already noticed. Xia Chen announced to the world that the people he named were all people with great talents.
They were either valiant generals or strategists. These people would definitely attract the attention of the demons and even the Demon King. It was very likely that they would directly send Demon soldiers to stop and kill them.
"Mister…Mister Shui Jing, Sima Yi, Huang Zhong, and Huang Chengyan are here!”
Following the order, Sima Yi, Huang Chengyan, and Huang Zhong, who were resting in the side hall, were brought into the main hall.
"I, Sima Yi, Huang Chengyan, Huang Zhong…"
"Greetings, Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor!”
Master Shui Jing, Sima Yi, was helpless. He had been invited by Xia Chen, and he had no choice but to come unless he fought Lu Bu.
This made him smile bitterly. He had never wanted to come, but Lu Bu was not easy to fool. Along the way, he had made the Warlock depressed.
"No need for formalities, rise!"
Xia Chen raised his hand indifferently and sized up the three people in front of him. Yes, there were three people. Only three people came.
He did not see anyone else, including Zhuge Liang and the others. Some of the people who had been called out did not come. Perhaps they really did encounter the Demon soldiers on the way.
"Mister Shui Jing, I have heard that you are a rare and extraordinary warlock in the world. You have mastered a strange technique and are extremely talented. I have conferred you the title of the Great Han State's Imperial Advisor to contribute your strength to the Great Han State.”
Xia Chen was straightforward and immediately conferred the position of Imperial Advisor to Mister Shui Jing. The latter opened his mouth to refuse, but when he felt Lu Bu's cold gaze and Xia Chen's unquestionable authority, he immediately gave up.
"I, Sima Wei, thank Your Majesty!"
Mister Shui Jing, the hermit Sima Wei, accepted the title directly, his heart filled with bitterness that was difficult for outsiders to understand.
But he didn't dare to resist or refuse, because all the civil and military officials in the court were watching. If he rejected this young emperor, he might really not be able to walk out of this hall.
After arriving here, what shocked Mister Shui Jing was that he couldn't see through the mysterious emperor.
"Huang Zhong, I appoint you as the rear general, in charge of the capital's guards!”
As soon as Xia Chen finished speaking, Huang Zhong's old face became excited. He knelt down respectfully and took the golden seal from the young eunuch.
"Huang Zhong, thank you, Your Majesty!" Huang Zhong was very excited. He hadn't thought that he would immediately be rewarded with the rank of rear general and be in charge of the capital's guards. How much trust did this show?
Lu Bu was sizing up Huang Zhong. He could feel a strong aura from him. It was very strong, no weaker than his. It was a shocking threat. He had to admit that he was a powerful opponent.
"Huang Chengyan, a famous person in Mianyang, you are a great talent. I want you to enter the cabinet and help me deal with some government affairs.”
Xia Chen's words stunned all the officials in the court. A few old officials wanted to step forward to object, but they were scared away by Xia Chen's sharp eyes.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Huang Chengyan had a bitter smile on his face and had no choice but to accept it.
He had no choice but to accept it. Look at Mister Shui Jing, he was the State Preceptor of the Great Han Dynasty. If he dared to act rashly, he would definitely suffer.
Moreover, he had brought his daughter, Huang Yueying, but her daughter had been taken away by a palace maid. He did not know where she was now.
"If you have something to say, say it. If there's nothing, withdraw from the court!”
Xia Chen looked at the civil and military officials in the court and waved his hand lightly.
All the officials looked at each other and did not say anything. It was obvious that they had nothing to say, but some did not dare to say it.
"Retreat!"
Seeing that no one spoke, Xia Chen stood up. The young eunuch beside him immediately shouted for the court to retreat and then carefully followed Xia Chen.
"Farewell, Your Majesty!"
In the hall, the civil and military officials saw Xia Chen off and respectfully sent the emperor off. Then, they stood up in twos and threes and prepared to leave.
"General Huang, let's spar when we have time.”
Just as Huang Zhong was about to leave, he saw a burly figure blocking his way. His expression froze as he felt an oppressive aura assaulting his face. He instinctively felt danger.
"So it's General Lu. I'll obey your orders!”
Huang Zhong and Lu Bu's eyes met. The beliefs of the two experts intertwined, as if they were about to fight.
However, the two of them quickly extinguished the fighting spirit in their hearts. They knew that this was the court, so they naturally could not behave arrogantly. Otherwise, Xia Chen would teach them a lesson.
"General Huang Zhong, if you have the time, let's exchange a few moves.”
Outside the hall, a tall and sturdy iron tower walked over. The baleful aura around him was terrifying. Huang Zhong's pupils constricted when he saw this person. This was another powerful general who was not weaker than Lu Bu.
"This is the commander of the emperor's imperial guards, Dian Wei. His strength is not weaker than mine.”Lu Bu nodded slightly and introduced.
Dian Wei scratched his head and smiled." General Lu, I lost a little bit of strength when I fought with you last time. I just felt a breakthrough today. Let's find another time to spar."”
"Good!" Lu Bu's eyes lit up, and his interest was piqued.
Huang Zhong looked at Dian Wei and Lu Bu, and a strong conviction suddenly surged in his heart. His battle intent burned, and he was stimulated by the two of them to become ambitious.
........
"Mister Shui Jing, I didn't expect that even you would be invited.”
On the other side, Huang Chengyan caught up to Sima Wei and said bitterly.
Mister Shui Jing, on the other hand, had an indifferent expression on his face as he chuckled,""Perhaps this is fate. Now that the Great Han Divine Prefecture is facing a catastrophe, since the Son of Heaven has the intention to resist the demons, we naturally can't ignore it. Otherwise, what's the use of learning skills?”
"That's true. However, His Majesty summoned my daughter into the palace.”Huang Chengyan muttered gloomily.
Mister Shui Jing shook his head and said,""Don't guess His Majesty's intentions. I can't see through His Majesty's depths.”
After saying that, he left, leaving Huang Chengyan alone in a daze. He turned around and looked at the majestic palace, feeling upset.
........
In the inner courtyard of the palace, Xia Chen arrived and saw Tang Ji and Diao Chan chatting with a masked girl.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Seeing Xia Chen, Tang Ji and Diao Chan immediately stood up and bowed. The masked girl also stood up and bowed slightly.
"No need for formalities!" Xia Chen waved his hand and sat in the main seat. He looked at the masked girl standing in front of him. It was Huang Yueying.
He quietly sized up the peerless beauty in front of him. His eyes were filled with a hint of light as he was extremely surprised.
This was because he could feel a strong energy fluctuation in Huang Yueying's body. It was obviously something like magic power.
In other words, Huang Yueying had cultivated a spell!
"What's your name?" Xia Chen asked softly.
"Huang Yueying greets Your Majesty!”
Huang Yueying bowed slightly. Her voice was very ethereal, giving people an indescribable feeling of ethereal, as if she was a peerless fairy who was not tainted by the secular world.
