1598: C1598 Prime Minister Shouze

C1598 Prime Minister Shouze

Yang Xuan's words caused Loong Chuan's dragon body to tremble. Both of his eyes lit up, as if he had just seen the power of faith surging towards him.

"Shall we go to the coast now?" Loong Chuan said and stood up. He saw Yang Xuan shake his head and said, "Of course not. What's the use of going to the coast? It was nothing more than fighting back the Sea Monster. There was nothing else he could do. The chaos at the border will continue. What I find strange is why a month has already passed since this incident. Is there still no movement from the Imperial Court?"

"So what you mean is?" Loong Chuan was a little disappointed as he looked at Yang Xuan and asked.

Yang Xuan nodded and replied, "I'm afraid we have to make a trip to the Qing Country Imperial City. I suspect something has happened there." Yang Xuan's expression seemed to be somewhat serious. In fact, he still had another layer of thought that he had yet to say. For example, Hunting King, who was with Zhao Hee now, made Yang Xuan suspect that the Sea Monster had suddenly appeared. Could there be a shadow of the Hunter behind him?

However, this was only Yang Xuan's guess, so he didn't say it out loud.

After Ling'er woke up, Yang Xuan didn't stay any longer and immediately flew towards the capital. With Loong Chuan, a peerless bodyguard, by his side, Yang Xuan didn't even need to fly. He directly sat on Loong Chuan's back.

In order to obtain the power of faith as soon as possible, Loong Chuan could be said to have used all his strength. He simply maintained his original appearance in front of the world most of the time.

There was a distance of 500 miles between the mountain and the Qingtian City, but to Loong Chuan, this was a small matter.

After everyone arrived at the Qingtian City, Loong Chuan landed on the ground. He didn't seem to be in the same state as before. He just hovered in the air. Yang Xuan jumped off Loong Chuan's back and landed firmly on the ground.

However, when he saw the scene in the city, he immediately frowned. The prosperous Qingtian City had become desolate at some point in time. Every house on the street was closed, and even the shops were not opened.

Yang Xuan could clearly feel that there were people living in these houses, but strangely, he could not see a single person.

This made Yang Xuan alert. The Qingtian City was the imperial city of a country. Only when something serious happened would it become like this.

Loong Chuan suddenly felt a sense of loss. Originally, he had revealed his true form. It was to make the residents here admire him, but now, no one was looking at him. He landed on the ground sulkily. After asking around, he asked, "Good son-in-law, what should we do next?"

"Let's go to the palace to take a look first. The city is like this now. The palace will not be any better." Yang Xuan had a strong feeling that something must have happened in Qingtian City. In his impression, Qing Chang'en had always been a very smart person. He couldn't just let Qing Country become like this and turn a blind eye to it.

As the two spoke, they quickly moved closer to the palace entrance.

Along the way, Yang Xuan didn't see a single person. It was as if the entire Qingtian City was shrouded in a dark cloud. Everyone became silent under this dark cloud.

Very quickly, the two of them arrived at the palace gates. However, they found that the palace gates were specially guarded.

Yang Xuan was about to enter the palace when he was stopped by the guards at the entrance. This made Yang Xuan feel very strange. Before Yang Xuan went to the Heaven Realm, there was no one in the Qing Country who didn't recognize him. If Yang Xuan wanted to enter the Palace, he didn't even need to show anything. Those guards would even take the initiative to welcome Yang Xuan.

However, Yang Xuan didn't dwell too much on this issue. After all, these guards might have been replaced. Thus, he took out the general order that Qing Chang'en had given him. According to the rules of Qing Country, anyone who possessed this command could enter and exit the Inner Palace as they pleased. In any place within the imperial palace of Qing Country.

However, what Yang Xuan didn't expect was that the guards didn't even look at him. They just said to Yang Xuan, "Let's go, let's go."

Yang Xuan immediately became angry. He stepped forward and wanted to fight these guards. When the guards saw Yang Xuan attack, they immediately started to fight back. Yang Xuan suddenly felt a little distressed. These guards were obviously not his match. But he could not really kill these guards.

Therefore, everyone started fighting at the entrance of the palace.

At this moment, a tall, fair skinned young man walked out from the palace gates and asked loudly, "Who is making noise here?"

"Prime Minister, this person wanted to barge into the palace but was stopped by us. He wants to fight with us." A guard pointed at Yang Xuan and said. The young man who was called Prime Minister looked at Yang Xuan and asked, "What do you want?"

"Who are you?" Yang Xuan frowned and asked. In the history of Qing Country, there were very few prime ministers. There were only a few who had contributed a lot to the Qing Country, or just a casual job.

Even though Zhao Changsheng had become Qing Chang'en's right-hand man, he had never mentioned the Prime Minister position. Wai Xuan, who was previously regarded as a partial prime minister, was more like a hostage.

Therefore, Yang Xuan was curious about this person who was called Prime Minister.

"You don't know about this, do you?" The guard at the gate said proudly, "The Prime Minister's name is Shouze, an expert whom His Majesty met among the people. He personally brought him back and appointed him as Prime Minister."

"I don't deserve to be called an expert. I am Shouze. I am just a village man. Thanks to His Majesty's love, I have a half-official position." Shouze said to Yang Xuan gently, but his face was like a block of ice. There was no expression on his face.

Yang Xuan stared at Shouze's face for a long time, but Shouze still did not move. There was no change in his expression. Sensing Yang Xuan's intention, he said, "Sorry for making you laugh. I have suffered from a serious illness. I almost lost my life. When I recovered from my illness, I became like this. I am also very distressed."

Yang Xuan nodded and asked again, "In that case, may I go and meet His Majesty?"2

"Sorry, His Majesty was overworking a few days ago and was resting recently. He did not meet outsiders." Shouze said to Yang Xuan. Yang Xuan wanted to ask more, but he noticed Loong Chuan pulling his hand.

Yang Xuan understood what he meant and said to Shouze, "In that case, it is time for me to pay a visit."

After saying that, Yang Xuan turned around and left with the others. He raised his head and looked at Loong Chuan. He found that Loong Chuan's expression was very strange.

Shouze stood at the entrance of the palace for a long time. When he saw that everyone had left, he said to the people beside him, "Take good care of the door." Everyone's spirits were immediately lifted, and they stood up straight once again.

Because there was no inn in the city that opened the door, everyone gave up on the plan of staying in the city. Instead, they found a remote place and built a simple stone house.

Only then did the three of them sit down. Yang Xuan looked at Loong Chuan and asked curiously, "Your Majesty, why did you stop me just now?"

Loong Chuan looked at Yang Xuan and asked, "Could it be that you didn't feel that Prime Minister was a bit strange?"
