Chapter 518: Huang Huang Long Zi

'Your Majesty, the Ding Mountain Immortal Ceremony is ready, the carriages and horses are prepared, and the auspicious time is approaching.'

During the morning court.

Li Rui said slowly.

These days, he had been busy handling the immortal ceremony.

The date was set by the Imperial Observatory.

This was a rule that had existed for a long time.

Generally speaking, even the emperor himself could not change it.

After all, according to legal principles.

The sanctity of the Holy Emperor is heaven-ordained and cannot be defied by heaven's luck.

It is precisely because of this.

The status of government offices like the Imperial Observatory has always been very high.

It was from the previous Great Su Xuan dynasty, because a witchcraft rebellion once occurred in a previous dynasty that eventually led to the destruction of the country, that the founding emperor of Great Su Xuan eradicated all such government offices, and it was not until the Great Yu that they were re-established.

Of course.

Not many emperors who sit on the throne don't read history books, so even if the Imperial Observatory was re-established, its status had always been low.

Until Gu Gu Changsheng became the Director.

Even so, the one who was powerful was Gu Gu Changsheng, not the Imperial Observatory.

Divination and witchcraft have always been strictly managed.

"Minister Li handles things, I am at ease."

The Holy Emperor was extremely satisfied.

A group of court officials looked at Li Rui with envy.

What is called a red person?

The Taiping Order of the Search Mountain Division, Lord Li, is one.

Now, the number of times Li Rui enters and leaves the Imperial Study in a month is even more than the number of times the Minister of Personnel has in half a year.

If this isn't a red person in the Imperial Palace, who is?

Stupid people are still jealous, while smart people have already started arranging for the women in their clans to come to the door to propose marriage.

A Second-Rank official, and still unmarried.

Such a person is too worth winning over.

And marriage is undoubtedly the safest plan between great sects and great clans.

Although the higher the realm, the more indifferent they are to feelings, after all, they are human, and it is impossible to completely cut off the seven emotions and six desires.

Regarding this.

Li Rui couldn't laugh or cry.

When he was a young man in Qinghe, which matchmaker would have looked at him?

But never expected that he had already lived for a hundred years, and instead became a hot commodity, the threshold was almost trampled, and every woman was a daughter of a great family he wouldn't have dared to think about before.

After the morning court.

Li Rui started to get busy again.

The ceremony of the immortal ceremony is extremely complicated, and preparing it requires the cooperation of multiple government offices, which is a huge project.

Until the fifth day of the fourth month.

A mighty team set off from the Capital.

Heading south.

A canopy, several zhang in diameter, floated like a palace above the green forest on the official road.

The canopy was surrounded by an army that wound for several miles.

The entire Yu Kingdom's travel could have such a lineup, naturally it could only be the Lord of the Dragon Court.

In the huge carriage.

From time to time, the Holy Emperor's hearty laughter could be heard.

At this time, Li Rui and Gu Gu Changsheng were sitting in the carriage, listening to the Holy Emperor recount his heroic feat of riding a horse and shooting birds in Shu back then.

"Thinking back then, these hands of mine could also bend a bow and shoot a giant eagle."

"It's a pity, I can still bend a bow now, but I just can't see an eagle."

The Holy Emperor sighed.

Gu Gu Changsheng raised his little finger to dig his ear.

He didn't know how many times he had heard these words, his ears were calloused.

By comparison.

Li Rui's patience was much better, listening extremely seriously.

Seeing that he had finally caught a listener, the Holy Emperor became even more energetic.

Ever since leaving the Capital.

The Holy Emperor's smile had not disappeared.

Regarding this.

Li Rui knew very well that it was all because he had been stifled.

From the Holy Emperor's words of recalling the past, it is not hard to see that this emperor is different from his predecessors; he has seen green mountains and clear waters, and although he sat on the throne, his nature ultimately had a bit more freedom that an emperor shouldn't have.

Perhaps precisely because of this.

This wise emperor praised by the civil and military officials in the court, in fact, also quite liked things outside.

It's just a pity that he was still too poor.

Correct.

It is poor.

Don't look at the gold and silver flowing into the Imperial Palace every day that can't be counted, but it couldn't support this emperor to leave the palace a few times.

The micro-service private visits in the storytellers' mouths are nonsense.

The Holy Emperor believed it back then, and then tried it.

In the end, all the local officials knew his identity, accompanied him in a big show, and after that, he had no interest in micro-service private visits.

That time.

Chief Councilor Zhang's abacus clicked, and the national treasury was short of I don't know how many millions of taels of silver.

What is called disturbing the people and wasting money?

This emperor going out for a trip is no less than fighting a war.

Too expensive.

So since then, the number of times the Holy Emperor left the palace became countable.

This immortal ceremony is different.

It is a major event of sacrificing to heaven and earth, concerning national luck.

Although he could take a flying magic treasure to go, going to Ding Mountain is not the goal; patrolling the world to show imperial power is the point.

Therefore, there was such a big lineup.

It also fulfilled the Holy Emperor's wish.

'Your Majesty, this money must be spent sparingly.'

Even though they had been out for several days, Chief Councilor Zhang's earnest words could still echo in the Holy Emperor's ears.

As the Holy Emperor spoke, he suddenly mentioned someone: "Speaking of which, Minister Jiang's ability to shoot birds is truly unique; now that he has gone to the cultivation world, I can never find him again."

Speaking of Jiangjiang Linxian.

Gu Gu Changsheng's expression changed: "Your Majesty, Brother Jiang has already arrived in the cultivation world, and we will be able to get in touch in a few days."

"Good, good."

The Holy Emperor nodded with a smile.

Then, he looked at Li Rui again: "I haven't paid attention to Yunzhou for the past few years, never expected it to be a place where outstanding people emerge; when I have a chance, I must go and see."

These words were naturally praise.

Now everyone in Yunzhou is proud of having a Lord Li who is the Taiping Order.

Although there is a Marquis Yuan, who told Li Rui to be a genuine Yunzhou person, making people feel honored.

Li Rui: "It is Brother Jiang's ability, I just borrowed a reputation."

Hearing this.

The Holy Emperor smiled and pointed his finger at Li Rui in the air: "You are just humble and low-key, your reputation now is much bigger than Minister Jiang's."

Li Rui just smiled.

Gu Gu Changsheng took the opportunity to interject: "By the way, Your Majesty, Daoist Wang has already entrusted a high person in Bai Bai Yu Jing to deduce that Huang Huang Long Zi has already returned to the North Pole Demonic Sect."

Huang Huang Long Zi!

Hearing these three words.

The smiles on the Holy Emperor and Li Rui's faces dissipated at the same instant.

Especially the Holy Emperor, killing intent even flashed in his eyes.

That Immortal Calamity that once swept through the entire Yu Kingdom and almost led to its destruction, he still feels like it happened yesterday.

And that Huang Huang Long Zi was the mastermind.

This is a national feud and family hatred.

As a generation of emperors, how could he let it go.

These years.

The Yu Kingdom had been secretly investigating Huang Huang Long Zi's whereabouts, but Huang Huang Long Zi's methods were extremely brilliant, and even though all the experts were sent out, there was no clue.

Huang Huang Long Zi's strength is unfathomable.

As for why he didn't appear on the world's martial arts evaluation, that was determined by the Holy Emperor, who removed his name from the martial arts evaluation.

Otherwise, according to the secret version of the martial arts evaluation.

Huang Huang Long Zi is only second to Gao Tianxia.

The Holy Emperor's voice turned cold: "Good, very good."

Since the methods of this realm cannot find Huang Huang Long Zi, he will let the people of the cultivation world find him.

As the culprit of the Immortal Calamity, if Huang Huang Long Zi doesn't die for a day, he cannot sleep for a day.

Li Rui lowered his head again.

Huang Huang Long Zi not only started the Immortal Calamity but also took action to curse Jiangjiang Linxian's wife to death.

If possible, he wouldn't mind helping his Brother Jiang avenge his grievances.

And that Huang Huang Long Zi is also truly the cause of the troubled times.

Disturbing his old man's quiet cultivation.

Of course.

He is still in the Second-Rank, and it will be a long time before he reaches the First-Rank.

It can't be rushed.

Things like revenge not being overnight, the premise is to be able to beat them; for those he can't beat, Li Rui will choose "ten years is not too late."
