A few days later, Leng Shiqi finally replenished his exhausted Mental Energy. During these few days, he had been recalling everything that had happened in the Heavenly Tomb. However, the more he thought about it, the more bizarre he felt and the more confused he became.
Moreover, he didn't notice any changes in his body. Other than his cultivation being one level higher, there were no other changes.
Although he didn't have any clues, he guessed that it might be related to the "Law of Heaven and Earth" that the mysterious figures in the Heavenly Tomb spoke of. Unfortunately, the Law of Heaven and Earth was too far away from Leng Shiqi. He didn't have the qualifications to pry into it at all, so he didn't think about it anymore.
He would just treat it as gaining two levels of cultivation in the Heavenly Tomb, which would save him a lot of cultivation time.
Leng Shiqi walked out of the secret room and was about to find the Delta Aurigae. Who would have thought that he would meet He Feichen who was in a hurry?
"Sir, Steward Gao is here. It seems to be urgent." He Feichen quickly said.
"He came personally?"
Leng Shiqi raised his eyebrows. Normally, if Eunuch Gao had something to say to him, he would summon him. Now that Eunuch Gao came personally, it meant that the matter was indeed urgent.
Leng Shiqi used Remnant Wind Lightning Light Steps and arrived at the meeting hall of Xingzhi Pavilion in a few breaths. Eunuch Gao was indeed sitting on the main seat. "Greetings, Master."
"No need to be so courteous. I came this time to tell you that I will bring you to participate in a grand event in a while!" Eunuch Gao said solemnly. There was a hint of respect in his tone.
Leng Shiqi asked doubtfully, "What grand event is it? Why does Master place so much importance on it?"
Eunuch Gao said solemnly, "The seventieth birthday banquet of the current emperor!"
"The seventieth birthday banquet of the emperor!"
Leng Shiqi couldn't help but raise his voice. He wasn't very surprised. Instead, he thought of many things in an instant.
Everyone knew that the emperor of the Thunderfire Dynasty, Lei Chengjun, didn't have much time left. All his thoughts were on making arrangements after his death so that the Thunderfire Dynasty could continue to stabilize. How could he have the time to celebrate his seventieth birthday?
But Lei Chengjun still did it, so this matter was worth pondering.
Leng Shiqi guessed that Lei Chengjun might want to use this birthday banquet as an opportunity to do something!
Eunuch Gao nodded and said, "His Majesty's birthday banquet this time is a universal celebration. It is scheduled for half a year from now. At that time, all the upper echelons of the Thunderblaze Dynasty, as well as the first-rate and top-notch sects, will enter the Imperial Capital to celebrate.
Even the Starfall Dynasty, the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the Six Kingdoms of the Western Region would send envoys over. When the time came, the entire Imperial Capital would be filled with experts and influential figures from all over the world!
In order to maintain the stability of the Imperial City, we, the Dark Thunder Guards, have a great responsibility!
Everyone who enters the Imperial City, regardless of their status or cultivation, must have their backgrounds thoroughly investigated. Absolutely do not allow anyone of unknown origin to enter! "
Hearing this, Leng Shiqi's expression also became serious. When that time came, there would probably be tens of thousands of people pouring into the Imperial Capital. Moreover, each of them was either holding a powerful fist or had a profound cultivation base. How could it be easy to investigate all of them?
The most troublesome ones were the people from the Starfall Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty. They were one of the three Dynasties alongside the Thunderblaze Dynasty, and they were constantly at war with each other. How could they behave themselves when they came to celebrate?
Leng Shiqi could foresee that in the future, the Imperial Capital would truly become a turbulent undercurrent. The slightest carelessness would cause it to turn into ashes!
"But there's no need to worry too much. The Dark Thunder Guards will only be in charge of screening and monitoring in the dark. There will still be patrolling guards in the front. That's also a hot potato."
Eunuch Gao sighed and said, "Moreover, His Majesty's birthday banquet is not a place where anyone can come as they wish. The invitations have already been sent out. We only need to investigate according to the list of names on the invitations."
Leng Shiqi thought to himself that it would be much simpler in this way. However, it would require a large number of people to spread out such a large number of people. The people in the headquarters of the Dark Thunder Guards were far from enough.
Eunuch Gao naturally understood this. He said, "All the sects or forces on the invitations will be carefully investigated by the local Dark Thunder Guards. However, the most troublesome ones are the people from the other two Dynasties and the six countries of the Western Region.
Especially this time, the envoys from the Starfall Dynasty and the six countries of the Western Region will enter the Thunderblaze Dynasty from the Western Wilderness Prefecture. It can be said that the Western Wilderness Prefecture is the most important place. The inspector of the Western Wilderness Prefecture, Yu Ruifeng, can't take care of it all. The day before yesterday, he asked me for more people.
Those people in my family are all good at fighting for power and profit. However, only you can do this. In addition, you were born in the Dark Thunder Guards of the Western Wilderness Prefecture, so you are the most suitable person to go there.
As long as you can smoothly bring the envoys from the six countries of the Western Region and the Starfall Dynasty to the imperial capital, it will be a great merit. Even if you take the position of deputy director with the cultivation of Gang Spirit Realm, no one will dare to say anything! "
Leng Shiqi understood that Eunuch Gao was asking him to make a merit. However, this merit was not so easy to get!
Although the six countries of the Western Region were called the Six Countries of the Western Region, in fact, these six small countries were sandwiched between the Thunderblaze Dynasty and the Starfall Dynasty. The total area of the six countries was equivalent to the size of five or six prefectures. They existed completely as a buffer zone between the two Dynasties.
Because of their small size, these six countries often attacked each other. The hatred between them had been accumulated for many years. It could be imagined that it was impossible for the envoys of the six countries to stay together!
This matter alone was enough to give people a headache, not to mention that the Starfall Dynasty would also send people here.
Among the three Dynasties in the world, the Starfall Dynasty was the most powerful, had the most profound foundation, and had the most vast territory!
The Starfall Dynasty had been passed down for thousands of years, more than twice as long as the Thunderblaze Dynasty. Its national strength was very strong and it had always been ambitious.
From the name of the dynasty, it could be seen that the Starfall Dynasty had the ambition to swallow the whole Starfall Continent!
Lei Chengjun was critically ill, but he wanted to hold a birthday banquet. The Starfall Dynasty naturally came with the intention of sounding him out. They wanted to see how long Lei Chengjun could hold on.
Let's see who might take over his position.
Most importantly, it was extremely likely that the Starfall Dynasty would secretly plant a few spies in the Thunderblaze Dynasty during this process, and Leng Shiqi had to be on guard against all of this. So, this mission was absolutely not easy!
However, what Eunuch Gao said was right. If Leng Shiqi could complete this mission perfectly, he would be rewarded with merits and could be promoted to one of the thirty-six deputy directors of the Dark Thunder Guard headquarters. He would become a powerful figure!
So he said loudly, "I will do my best and will never disgrace you, but the manpower …"
"In terms of manpower, you can take away all the guards under your command. I have already informed Yu Ruifeng. All the Dark Thunder Guards in the Western Desert Province are at your disposal.
In addition, I have also specially assigned an assistant to you. "Speaking until here, Eunuch Gao clapped his hands and a figure walked out.
Leng Shiqi turned to look and felt that the figure was a little familiar.
