Chapter 310 Meeting His Majesty and Sending an Imperial Envoy

Qin Tianjian.

There was a faint sound of various machines operating.

An old man with white hair and beard, wearing a plain robe, sat upright on the eaves of the roof.

He crossed his hands, his fingers moving slightly, as if he was constantly calculating the unresolved mysteries of the world, and his brows were furrowed from time to time.

Suddenly, he seemed to have figured something out, with a look of disbelief between his brows.

Just at this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps broke his thoughts.

Si Chen, the Five Officials of the Imperial Observatory, said in a slightly panicked voice: "Master, the Emperor is on his way here. Please come down and meet him as soon as possible."

When the old man heard this, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

"okay, I get it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he moved. He did not look old at all, but instead was as agile as a young man.

He took a step forward and his figure instantly disappeared from the roof, leaving only a faint scent of stardust in the air.

At this time, the Emperor of the Great Zhou was wearing a dragon robe and strode into the courtyard of the Imperial Observatory with steady steps.

His face was dignified, his brows revealed an unquestionable imperial aura, and his eyes scanned the surroundings sharply.

Suddenly, he seemed to sense something, and his gaze gradually focused on the void in front of him.

Under his gaze, a little bit of starlight gathered together, revealing an old man with white hair and beard.

When the latter saw him, he hurriedly bowed and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I, Feng Daxun, greet you."

Ji Zikong had no intention of chatting with the director of the Imperial Observatory. He said in a deep and majestic voice: "Master Director, I was observing the celestial phenomena at night, and suddenly I felt that there seemed to be something unusual happening thousands of miles away, so I came to ask for your advice."

Supervisor Feng Daxun bowed slightly and said in an old but vigorous voice: "Your Majesty is wise. I have also noticed it a few days ago. This is a sign that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is gathering. It indicates that spiritual energy from outside the domain has descended on the territory of our Great Zhou, and its scale is not small."

Upon hearing this, Ji Zikong's eyes flashed with urgency: "If that's the case, I should go there myself to seize this spiritual essence and add supreme luck to my Great Zhou!"

Supervisor Feng Daxun shook his head, a look of helplessness and regret appeared on his face: "Your Majesty, you don't know that the spiritual essence of heaven and earth has always been spiritual but not fixed, and it cannot be forced by human power. Although this old minister can peek into the secrets of heaven, he is not omnipotent. This old minister has carefully calculated that this spiritual essence has disappeared on the day it descended. It is too late now, so I have not reported it to Your Majesty."

Ji Zikong was stunned when he heard this: "So that's how it is. That's all. Lord Supervisor, I need you to pay more attention in the future. If there is any strange phenomenon again, you must report it to me immediately."

"Old minister understands."

"By the way, there is one more thing I want to know what the Supervisor has thought about it?"

Supervisor Feng Daxun said sternly: "Your Majesty, demons are very different from our human race. Although they can sense the changes in the spiritual essence of the outer domain in advance, colluding with demons is like trying to get the skin of a tiger. It is not a solution after all."

"Let's get through this first. We have a lot of inspiration right now, which is a rare opportunity for our Ji family. We must find a way to collect these inspirations and use them for our Ji family."

Supervisor Feng Daxun thought about it again and again, and finally bowed and promised: "I obey your command."

"Okay, I won't bother you any more. Please report to me if you have any further questions."

Supervisor Feng Daxun stood solemnly, watching the current emperor of the Great Zhou flick his long sleeves and leave with his hands behind his back.

After walking out of the Imperial Observatory, the Great Zhou Emperor Ji Zikong had a somewhat uneasy look on his face, somewhat dissatisfied with not being able to seize this opportunity, but he also knew that there was no way around it and it was not the Imperial Observatory's fault.

Now that the Great Zhou was facing dangers everywhere, he felt more and more that the day of collapse mentioned by his ancestor was not a fabricated nonsense.

Perhaps the human race is really going to undergo a major change.

The increasing number of demons is probably an obvious side proof.

Thinking of this, his expression as the common ruler of the world couldn't help but become serious.

"Your Majesty, the general requests to see you and says he has something important to tell you." Just when Ji Zikong was daydreaming, the eunuch beside him hurriedly reported, interrupting his thoughts.

He was inevitably a little upset and asked casually, "What's the important matter?" "Your Majesty, the general has not made it clear, and I don't know."

The Great Zhou Emperor Ji Zikong said with authority without getting angry: "Send him over."

"The slave obeys."

Soon, the armored general Xue Zhao was brought to Ji Zikong by the eunuch.

"Your humble servant Xue Zhao pays respect to Your Majesty. Long live the emperor."

Ji Zikong's face was as calm as water: "My dear minister, please stand up. I wonder what important matter you are here to see me for?"

His tone was neither hot nor cold, but it contained an unquestionable majesty.

Xue Zhao straightened up upon hearing this, looked at Ji Zikong with sharp eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, it's about the Yongzhou Lingji matter."

"Hmm?" Ji Zikong's expression changed when he heard the word "inspiration".

Xue Zhao continued, "Recently, I have received a secret report that in addition to demons rampant in Yongzhou, there are also unusual things happening. I am afraid that it may affect the safety of the country, so I have to report it to Your Majesty urgently."

After Xue Zhao mentioned this, Ji Zikong thought of the memorial sent by Bai Mu, the governor of Yongzhou County, some time ago, which mentioned the disaster of demons in Yongzhou.

He also discussed the matter with the Imperial Observatory and planned to send some people over, but he didn't expect that there was an idea in it.

Suddenly, Ji Zikong seemed to have thought of something and looked towards the Imperial Observatory behind him.

"The Supervisor must have known about this and deliberately didn't mention the Yongzhou inspiration. He is lying to me!"

Ji Zikong frowned slightly, and his eyes instantly became sharp.

"What does he want to do?"

The Supervisor was a person appointed by the ancestor and a veteran of three dynasties. He would definitely not do anything that would harm the Ji family's country. This was something he could not understand.

Ji Zikong's mind raced, and he looked at Xue Zhao and said, "Tell me in detail what happened."

Xue Zhao took a deep breath and told Xue Bai the information he had obtained from him one by one, speaking in detail and earnestly.

"Your Majesty, an imperial envoy should be sent as soon as possible to support the county governor and eliminate the demons; secondly, to investigate the matter of Lingji. Both cannot be ignored."

After listening to Xue Zhao's statement, Ji Zikong was silent for a moment. Everyone was so quiet that only the occasional bird calls could be heard in the sky.

He stared off into the distance, lost in thought, as if weighing some important decision.

"My dear minister, you are absolutely right. The matter of Yongzhou cannot be taken lightly. I will immediately order an imperial envoy to go to Yongzhou to investigate the matter thoroughly." Ji Zikong made a decision quickly: "As for the candidate, let Shi Wenbo go."

Xue Zhao's eyes lit up. Shi Wenbo was from the Xue family.

"But your majesty, sending just one person may not be enough."

Ji Zikong glanced at Xue Zhao, as if he could see through his thoughts.

Xue Zhao was delighted when he saw this, but he remained calm and waited for Ji Zikong to speak.

"I remember that Xue Qing's son is extremely intelligent and brave. I will let him accompany us this time. Firstly, he can gain some experience and secondly, he can help the imperial envoy."

Xue Zhao smiled when he heard this and immediately knelt down to express his gratitude: "Your Majesty is wise and wise. I, on behalf of my son, thank you for your grace. I will live up to your trust and assist the Imperial Envoy."

"Also, ask Cui Jin and Ji He to go with you."

Xue Zhao's face froze.

One of these two people is their family's mortal enemy, and the other is a loyal minister of the royal family.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xue Zhao said with a restrained expression.
