The door of Scarlet Flame Palace slowly opened. This time it was different from when Tang Yue came in. There was a group of people outside waiting for her to go out. There were not only palace maids, but also many ministers patrolling, making it look much grander.
"Why are there so many people?" she couldn't help but ask.
The high priest bowed in salute and replied: "Today is an important day to choose a girl to present the sword to the king."
King Tanxiang snorted coldly, "If there are more people, it will be difficult for anyone to attack secretly. I happened to think so too, so I also asked my ministers to come over." His tone was very sinister.
Tang Yue suddenly realized that it was due to such considerations.
"Chosen Girl, where is the sword you forged?" King Tanmei looked indifferent, as if he was indifferent to everything.
"In order to avoid accidents, I received it in the storage bag. After all, I am often framed by others, so I can't be too careful, don't you think?" Tang Yue was deliberately eccentric.
"No one can harm you here, it doesn't have to be like this." King Greedy glanced at her.
The king of greed said: "I think it is necessary."
"Okay, let's go first, don't waste time here." King Tanmei was helpless. His brother had been treating him as an enemy for the past two days and would refute anything he said.
One day, he will understand his good intentions.
The priest ordered the guard behind him to carry the sedan in front of Tang Yue, "Please choose a girl to get on the sedan."
Tang Yue looked at the eight-person sedan chair decorated with colorful silk cloth and wondered, "Is it necessary? Both kings must have come here.'
Both monks and spiritual masters can practice the art of teleportation, but they still keep these sedan chairs for the sake of ostentation.
It was not a major ceremony at this time, so it was a bit excessive to ask her to ride in such an exaggerated sedan.
The priest bowed slightly and explained: "This is the king's arrangement to show respect for the chosen girl."
Tang Yue curled his lips, okay, whatever he said is what he said.
She climbed onto the sedan, lowered the curtain, and was quickly carried to the front of the team.
Fortunately, the underground palace passage is very wide, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate so many people.
Xiao Xi walked at the end of the team with her head lowered. Others could not see the jealousy on her face and the clenched fists in her sleeves.
All this will eventually be hers, and when the time comes, let this woman taste what it's like to be a slave.
Soon they arrived at the main hall of the middle palace, and Tang Yue was carried directly into the hall. He became more and more confused about the purpose of this incident. Maybe this was the special sense of justice of the demons.
Greedy King said: "Choose a girl, take out the sword you made and let everyone see it."
Tang Yue was about to speak when he was suddenly interrupted by Xiao Xi's sharp voice, "She can't take out the sword she forged at all. Kunwu Nine Color Jade has turned into powder."
She took out a bag and poured the dim powder inside onto the ground, attracting the attention of everyone in the hall.
"After the slave chose the girl and left, she was worried that she would leave something behind in the palace, so she entered the palace to check. Unexpectedly, she found these things in the Scarlet Flame Palace."
Xiao Xi thought Tang Yue would hide the pile of powder, but she didn't expect that she just piled the powder on the main hall and saw it at a glance. She was really stupid.
King Tanmei frowned slightly when he heard her words. She must have been too anxious and seemed to be deliberately setting up a trap.
Although everyone knows that there is something fishy about this matter, it can't be so obvious. Where can I put my face?
King Tanxiang sneered, "I said there must be something wrong. What's going on? What is this pile on the ground?"
Xiao Xi knelt on the ground, "Wang Mingjian, this is the Kunlun nine-color jade specially paid as tribute by the Tang family. Only with it can a high-quality sword be made. Now that the sword jade has been destroyed, Tang Yue can't get the sword at all. Please punish him." She.”
King Tanxiang flew out a spiritual sword, "How dare you, a slave like you, dare to be disrespectful to the chosen girl and call her by her name."
King Greedy raised his hand and stopped the spiritual blade, "What she said makes sense. Why are you so anxious to silence her?"
But the residual power still affected Xiao Xi. She was knocked to the ground and vomited a mouthful of blood.
It seems that the strength of King Tanmei is indeed much higher than that of King Tanxiang. If King Tanxiang didn't have the Emperor Mother's Scepter now, he might not be able to deal with King Tanxiang.
"The sword-making materials were broken into powder. You didn't ask if this was the nine-color kendama? Was it framed? Instead, you allowed this bitch to slander that it was done by a chosen woman. Now you have no shame at all."
"Be careful what you say. I didn't deny the woman a chance to defend herself. I just asked you not to kill anyone first and to investigate clearly before talking."
Xiao Xi struggled to get up, knelt down again, and said loudly: "My two kings, please call the Tang family to come to the palace to testify. They collect jade all year round to make swords. Even if the sword jade is turned into powder, people can still recognize it."
Greedy King said: "Take someone with you."
Tang Yue watched Tanmei Wang and Xiao Xi singing harmony, and sighed that the scene was quite well done.
Tang Jinghui was quickly brought up. He glanced at Xiao Xi with a complicated expression, then at Tang Yue, and knelt down. Greedy King said: "Do you know this pile of powder?"
Tang Jinghui stepped forward to check the powder, "This is exactly the powder of Kunwu Nine Color Jade. Although it has lost its original essence, there is still some special sword energy left in it. It is unique to it. Other materials do not have such sword energy."
It seems that Tang Jinghui has made a choice. Compared with his granddaughter whom he has not seen for a long time, he chose Xiao Xi, who has been with him for a long time.
King Tanxiang turned to Tang Yue, "How do you explain choosing a girl?"
"I have nothing to explain. After I entered the Scarlet Flame Palace, the kendama was shattered into powder. I don't know who did it. Maybe there was a traitor under you, who didn't want me to be elected as a female, so he smashed it deliberately. ”
"That's nonsense. How could there be such a person among my men?" King Tanmei was displeased. Why wasn't she panicked at all?
King Greedy said: "Knowing people but not their hearts, is it any wonder that there are a few scum under his command? According to me, as long as we personally test the remaining spiritual power on it, won't we know who did it? As long as we take action, Even if it takes ten or eight years, it can be detected.”
King Tanmei took a deep breath. The focus today was not on this pile of powder, but on whether Tang Yue could come up with a good sword. He shouldn't dwell on that.
"The kendama is broken, why didn't you report it? No matter what, you should take out a good sword today, fulfill your promise, and prove your integrity."
Tang Yue sneered inwardly. There was no one in the Red Flame Palace, and there was no one guarding the outside. Who did she ask to report it?
The greedy king not only destroyed the Nine-Colored Kendama, but also took great pains to embarrass her in such a trivial matter.
"Your Majesty, you are right. Although the kendama is broken, I still made a good sword and wanted to present it directly to you, so I did not report it."
There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!
"Oh, what kind of sword is it?"
Tang Yue stared at the silver-haired man on the throne. He was still expressionless, but he leaned forward slightly, which meant that he was looking forward to his next words.
She smiled, but she didn't think anything of it. The men in the palace were all stunned.
The two men on the throne subconsciously clenched their fists.
Tang Jinghui suddenly regretted it at this moment. Maybe he shouldn't choose Xiaoxi.
Tang Yue was speechless, forgetting to bring her veil again.
He quickly took out the sword from his storage bag to escape from this "Amazing Mary Sue" atmosphere, "This is the sword I have been refining for the past three days. I would like to ask the king to take a look at it."
This black sword with golden light was the same as the sword given to her by King Tanxiang.
The greedy king sitting there breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he gave her this sword, otherwise she would really not be able to take out the sword at this time.
King Greedy looked at his brother's expression out of the corner of his eye, with a faint smile on his face.
"Bring it up."
The priest walked down the high platform and walked to Tang Yue himself to take the sword. When he stood in front of her, the expression on the mask instantly turned into sadness.
But the time was too short, and she was the only one who saw it.
Without saying a word, he picked up his sword and stepped onto the high platform, "Please take a look at it, your two kings."
King Tanxiang said: "No need to look, we don't have anything better than this sword here. Let her participate in the Saintess Ceremony, we are ready."
"Wait a minute, I want to see this sword."
King Tanmei took the sword in his right hand and looked at it carefully, "This sword is wrong, it was not made by her."
"What evidence do you have that she didn't make this? It has her spirit imprinted on it, and she was the one who made it. That's enough, don't push yourself any further!"
King Tanxiang took out his scepter and was about to activate it.
"Wait a minute, the Emperor Mother's scepter is not yours to use without authorization. You must be reasonable, especially when the two kings are here. This is the rule set by the Emperor Mother at that time, and we must abide by it."
"What else can you say?" King Tanxiang's tone was very impatient.
"Half a year ago, you asked the top swordsmith from the six countries to add your mental control to forge a top-notch sword out of the most ordinary black iron. It's amazing."
Tang Yue could see that the more confident he was, the lighter his expression became. He was really pretending.
"Although this matter is secretive, rumors have spread. I found the swordsmith and brought him here."
King Tanxiang opened his eyes wide. He had expected all his actions?
No, he prepared this sword for other things, not for the Saint. But after arriving here, he changed his mind.
After the swordsmith forged the sword, he hid it in a secret corner of the palace.
In other words, has King Greedy been spying on him? (End of chapter)
