Supreme Alchemy

Don't lower your head, the crown will fall off!

These words were like sunshine, shining into Emperor Wu's heart, making him slightly dazed.

When he came to his senses, Xiao Changfeng's figure had disappeared.

Seeing this, Emperor Wu's mouth curved up.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, Changfeng. You have finally grown up."

This was the first time he saw Xiao Changfeng after several years.

Thinking of that clean face, Emperor Wu also fell into some kind of memory in his mind.

"Xia Chan, don't worry, our child has grown up."

There was a trace of tears in his eyes, which was particularly obvious under the bright light.

However, this emotion quickly faded away.

As the king of a country, and as the Emperor Wu of the Great Wu Dynasty, he must bury all his emotions deep in his heart.

Only in this way can we deal with the enemies in the darkness.

Yes, this is a war.

In a life-and-death war, if something goes wrong, everything may be lost.

So Emperor Wu had to be careful.

You have to take it step by step.

"Four happy!"

Emperor Wu suddenly spoke, and the gilded red sandalwood door was pushed open carelessly.

Eunuch Hong bowed and walked into the room like a cat.

Outsiders don't know Eunuch Hong's real name, but how could Emperor Wu not know it.

"Sixi, come and play a game with me!"

Emperor Wu waved his hand, and the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard in front of him suddenly returned to the chess box.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Obviously this was not the first time this happened, and Eunuch Hong was not surprised.

He carefully sat opposite Emperor Wu.

Emperor Wu took the white piece first, and Eunuch Hong gently picked up the black piece and placed it on the chessboard.

"Sixi, what do you think of Changfeng?"

Emperor Wu spoke while playing chess.

Eunuch Hong's eyes moved slightly, but he quickly recovered.

He pondered for a moment before speaking.

"can't read!"

Three words expressed Eunuch Hong's truest thoughts.

He and Emperor Wu are also masters, servants, and close friends. He will not hide his thoughts in front of him.

"Oh? Tell me!"

These three words spoken by Eunuch Hong made Emperor Wu slightly surprised.

"It is said in the world that the eldest prince is like a dragon or a phoenix among men. This is understandable. After all, the eldest prince has outstanding talents and martial arts talents that are rare in thousands of years. But His Highness the Ninth Prince is different."

Eunuch Hong hesitated for a moment, then spoke softly.

"What's the difference?"

Emperor Wu's expression remained motionless, but his handsome eyebrows were slightly raised.

"His Majesty Ninth Prince gives me the impression that he is not like a dragon or a phoenix among men, but rather like a divine dragon above the nine heavens."

Eunuch Hong thought of Xiao Changfeng's eyes, was startled, and spoke in a deep voice.

"Nine Heavens Divine Dragon?"

Emperor Wu was surprised. Thinking of Xiao Changfeng's calmness and arrogance this time, he slightly agreed with this view.

"I just made a gentleman's agreement with him. The requirement of the agreement is a one-year agreement between him and the boss. Sixi, who do you think has a greater chance of winning?"

Emperor Wu dropped the white piece in his hand and looked at Eunuch Hong slightly sideways.

"This is hard for me to say, old slave!"

Eunuch Hong carefully dropped the sunspot.

"But it doesn't matter."

Emperor Wu chuckled.

Seeing this, Eunuch Hong hesitated for a while, and then whispered:

"How can a dragon among men rival the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon!"

quiet!

The imperial study room suddenly became quiet at this moment.

Eunuch Hong's words undoubtedly represent one of his views.

"Sixi, it seems you have high expectations for him!"

Finally, Emperor Wu smiled slightly and dropped Bai Zi.

"Your Majesty, you win again!"

Eunuch Hong did not dare to accept these words, so he put down the black piece in his hand and congratulated Emperor Wu.

"Sixi, after all these years, you are still so cautious, even when playing chess!"

Emperor Wu shook his head, looked at the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard, and chuckled.

"This is the duty of an old slave."

Eunuch Hong stood up and respectfully poured a cup of hot tea for Emperor Wu.

He knew that Emperor Wu had the habit of drinking a cup of hot tea after playing a game of chess.

Emperor Wu put down his chess pieces and took a sip of the tea in his cup.

Then he raised his head and looked out the window at the bright universe.

"If I win this game of chess, I will definitely win that game of chess. My head will never be lowered. Even if there is a god in the world, I will win half of it!"

…

Xiao Changfeng didn't know what Emperor Wu and Eunuch Hong thought of him.

At this time, he left the imperial study, walked through the broad avenue in the palace, and returned to Qingyuan Palace.

As for Xiao Yurong, he didn't have to worry.

The news of her leaving the royal study will spread as soon as possible, and she will naturally know it by then.

"It seems that my father knows the news about my mother!"

Looking at the familiar Qingyuan Palace, Xiao Changfeng stood with his hands behind his back and looked into the distance.

He already knew something from previous conversations.

About the strange disease twelve years ago, about the disappearance of my mother.

My father knew some of these secrets.

But he didn't tell himself.

Perhaps he is worried that if he is not strong enough and knows too much, he will be easily killed.

Or have other plans.

"A gentleman's agreement? Well, at least there is one more way, but I will not stop snooping for information."

Thinking of the gentleman's agreement he made with his father, Xiao Changfeng's lips curled up slightly.

"But today is not without gain. At least I know my father's attitude towards me!"

Xiao Changfeng raised his eyes slightly and looked at the white snow outside, but a warm current flowed through his heart.

Indeed.

He had resentment in his heart.

He resented why his father did not stop his mother from disappearing.

He resented why his father did not protect him when he was bullied.

He resented that the queen's power had been growing stronger for so many years.

So when he entered the imperial study, he did not salute his father.

He did not ask for permission and sat directly opposite his father.

In the end, he pushed the door and left without saluting.

These were all manifestations of Xiao Changfeng's resentment.

But he was not the same person as before.

And from the conversation with his father today, he could also feel that his father still had some real feelings for him.

So in the end he called himself a son.

This was also an expression of his attitude.

"My father's words today prove that there is indeed a mysterious force behind the old bitch Queen."

Recalling the few words his father said when he warned him, Xiao Changfeng also keenly grasped the key.

The force that can make Emperor Wu deeply afraid is obviously very large and strong.

The Dawu Dynasty is one of the two major dynasties in the East Region, comparable to a holy land.

Could that mysterious force be the Tianzun family?

Or... is there really a god behind it?

This mystery is getting bigger and bigger, but Xiao Changfeng's eyes are getting brighter and brighter.

"If I were still the same as before, maybe I would have really passed by in a daze, but now I have enough strength to face any danger."

"I don't care who is behind the old bitch Queen, if you dare to hurt my mother, you deserve to die!"

"Whether it's the Tianzun family or the gods, if you offend my relatives, I will kill you to the end of the world!"
