Chapter 159 Drunk

Han Xu was relieved after receiving the news from Qing'er and knowing that Zhang He had left.

Although Zhang He took away Zhang Chi's body, which meant that he would continue to investigate the matter, these were all later matters. Even if he found out something wrong, Han Xu was not worried.

Since Zhang He had revealed his identity, he was no longer a threat.

What surprised Han Xu was Qing'er's breakthrough. He deliberately used the thirty-six Ru Meng Ling on the top of the mountain, just to instill some of his cultivation insights into Qing'er.

Fortunately, Qing'er did not disappoint him.

After Zhang He left, Wei Zicheng took a deep look at the carriage, and then without saying much, he got on the horse and ordered the team to continue moving forward.

Not long after, they arrived outside the city gate. When the soldiers guarding the city saw Wei Zicheng, they immediately opened the city gate without being told.

The huge and heavy city gate opened to both sides. When the carriage passed through the city gate, under the cover of the shadow, a figure sneaked into the carriage without anyone noticing.

Qing'er said in surprise: "Master, you are back."

"Congratulations, Qing'er, keep working hard, and you can expect extraordinary things." Han Xu encouraged a few words, then checked Han Luoling's condition, and after confirming that he was fine, he closed his eyes and rested.

Today's battles were repeated, and the battle with the venomous snake was quite difficult. Han Xu even used the power of the domain to kill the venomous snake. Han Xu felt very tired. Now he just wanted to go home and enjoy the gentle massage of the maids.

But it's not possible now, there are more important things waiting to be done.

After entering the city gate, Wei Zicheng asked the army to withdraw, leaving only a team of guards to protect the carriage and rush to the palace.

As early as when entering the city, Wei Zicheng arranged for someone to deliver the news to the palace. When they arrived at the palace gate, they saw the Emperor Wu waiting outside the palace gate.

This surprised Wei Zicheng and the soldiers. Han Luoling was injured, and the Emperor Wu actually went out of the palace to greet him in person.

"Greetings, His Majesty." Wei Zicheng walked to the front of the Emperor Wu in two or three steps and knelt down to greet him.

However, the Emperor Wu seemed to have not seen him at all. He directly pushed him aside and came to the carriage with two imperial doctors.

"Go and see the condition of Concubine Ling." As he spoke, the Emperor Wu opened the door of the carriage and couldn't wait to get in.

Just then, Han Xu was also preparing to get off the car.

"Greetings, His Majesty."

"No need to be polite. How is your sister?"

"It should be fine."

As he spoke, the two imperial doctors came forward to feel Han Luoling's pulse and examined her carefully. The result was no different from what Han Xu said.

After returning to Weiyang Palace and settling Han Luoling, the Emperor Wu met Han Xu alone for the first time.

"Tell me about the situation at that time." The Emperor Wu said without question.

Han Xu could feel that there was a faint pressure on the Emperor Wu. This was a natural feeling when facing a cultivator with a higher realm than himself, and it was not deliberately released by the other party.

In other words, Emperor Wu's realm is indeed above Han Xu, and he has indeed entered the realm after transcendence.

Han Xu repeated the words he had prepared long ago to Emperor Wu. After finishing, Emperor Wu said to him: "Han Xu, I always think you are very smart. You should know what Ling Fei expects of you on this trip to Qingfeng Mountain."

Han Xu looked at Emperor Wu in surprise, thinking that you knew everything.

But admitting it in person is not okay. In such matters, you must not be too smart and proactive. You can only let Emperor Wu bring it up, and Han Xu cannot ask for it himself.

"Your Majesty, isn't your sister just thinking about going out to relax?"

Emperor Wu looked at Han Xu, and after a while he said: "Whatever Ling Fei wants, I will give her, so you don't have to worry too much. I understand her meaning."

"You go down first, I still have to accompany Ling Fei." After saying this, Emperor Wu turned and left, leaving Han Xu a little stunned.

Under the careful care of the imperial physician, the palace took out various precious elixirs from the collection for Han Luoling to take. That night, Han Luoling woke up, and Han Xu stayed outside until Han Luoling woke up, then left silently.

He didn't want to see Emperor Wu alone in Han Luoling's room, although this was a very reasonable thing.

So he had to turn a blind eye.

After returning to the mansion, Han Xu briefly explained a few words, then he brought a pot of strong liquor and locked himself up.

Without using spiritual power to dissolve the alcohol, the strong liquor went into his throat, burning like fire along the mouth all the way down to the stomach.

It felt very uncomfortable, but everyone who drank to drown their sorrows knew that getting drunk when they were uncomfortable was nothing more than trying to use the physical discomfort to numb the mental discomfort.

Except for Yingying who was taking care of Lin Feng, Qing'er, Bai Yiyi and Nishang all silently waited outside Han Xu's room, without communicating, but with worried expressions on their faces.

They had never seen Han Xu like this, and they didn't know what happened, but they all knew that men don't like others to disturb them at this time.

He needs a lonely space to lick the wounds deep in his heart.

Han Xu didn't know when he got drunk, nor when he fell asleep, and he didn't know that after he fell asleep, the three maids were still outside carrying frost and dew to guard the whole night.

He only knew that when he got up, Qing'er had prepared hot water for bathing, Nichang brought new clothes, and Bai Yiyi cooked a light but rich breakfast.

Han Xu didn't mention what happened yesterday, and no one asked him. The family gathered together and had a happy breakfast.

Under Yingying's careful care, Lin Feng has almost recovered. The poison in his body has been resolved, but his spiritual power has not yet fully recovered.

Han Xu sighed, fortunately he bought the ten thousand year old blood ginseng at the auction at all costs. In just a few days, he saved Yingying, Lin Feng and Han Luoling.

This is only the effect after Han Xu directly refined it. If it is supplemented with other materials to make pills, the effect will be qualitatively improved.

Just after dinner, someone from the palace came to summon Han Xu to the palace. Without thinking too much, Han Xu could roughly guess what the Emperor Wu wanted to do.

Lin Feng wanted to go to the Golden Sword Gate to take a look, but was stopped by Han Xu: "Uncle Lin, you can rest assured to recover at home, and you don't have to go to the Golden Sword Gate anymore."

The implication is that the Golden Sword Gate has been abandoned by Han Xu. Although Lin Feng was a little unwilling, he also obeyed Han Xu's arrangement.

After all, the reason why he went to rob the position of leader of the Golden Sword Sect was for Han Xu. Now that Han Xu is no longer needed, Lin Feng naturally doesn't bother to worry about it. He is not good at managing gangs.

In the Xuanwu Hall of the Imperial Palace, the expressions of the civil and military officials were very serious, even panicked.

Just now, the Emperor Wu was furious about Han Luoling's attack on Qingfeng Mountain, and he had ordered Yang Zhuo, the commander of the Xuanyi Guard, to be responsible for the investigation.

It is said that last night, Yang Zhuo led his men to break into the Prime Minister's Mansion. Wherever he passed, he killed anyone who resisted.

After leaving dozens of corpses, Yang Zhuo took Si Nan away and locked him up somewhere.

Since Ning Shanzhi was killed in the Tianlao last time, no prisoners of the Xuanyi Guard have been locked up in the Tianlao.

In last night's action, the first to bear the brunt was the queen.

According to the four surviving Tiance Army soldiers and Han Xu, the leader of Qingfeng Mountain, Lin Zhi, was actually a hidden chess piece planted by the Queen.

In a rage, Emperor Wu directly sent the Queen to the cold palace and waited for the results of the Xuanyi Guard's investigation.

No one knew how many people would be involved this time, and everyone just had a depressing feeling of impending storm.

It was not until Han Xu was summoned to the Xuanwu Palace that the officials calmed down a little.

But then, Emperor Wu announced: "In this Qingfeng Mountain incident, Han Xu took the lead and bravely protected the emperor. He was loyal and brave, and tried his best to keep the Concubine Ling safe and save the face of the royal family."

"Therefore, I decided to reward him heavily."

"Han Xu, come forward and listen to the title!"
