It turns out that this man in white is the human form of the Dragon King of Jinghe River.

He gathered his thoughts, pretended not to know, and asked: "Who are you? Why did you ask me to save you?"

The Dragon King of Jinghe hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty is a real dragon, and I am an industry dragon. I violated the laws of heaven and deserved to be executed by Cao Guan Wei Zheng, your majesty's virtuous minister, so I came to pray and hope that your majesty will save me. ! ”

Zu An's face was expressionless, and he subconsciously wanted to refuse, not wanting to be involved in the cause and effect. Speaking of which, this matter had nothing to do with him from beginning to end. It was the Dragon King of Jinghe who insisted on making a bet with Yuan Shoucheng, and it was Wei Zheng who beheaded him. The Emperor of Tang was kind and kind to save him, but because the rescue failed, he did not go to Yuan Shoucheng. Or Wei Zheng

Seeking revenge, but still pestering Emperor Tang, does he really deserve to be bullied as a good person? When the words of rejection came to his lips, Zu An suddenly noticed the cruelty in the eyes of the Jinghe Dragon King, and looked around again. He was already outside the palace, and there were no guards around him. At this time, he was as fragile as a mortal. If he was annoyed The other party,

He jumped over the wall and perished, and then he really had nowhere to cry.

He immediately showed a smile: "Since Wei Zheng is going to kill you, I can save you. You can go ahead with peace of mind."

The Dragon King of Jinghe was originally desperate, thinking that if the other party would not agree, he would drag him along to support him. Who knew that the other party actually agreed, and he suddenly felt a sense of survival from a desperate situation, and hurriedly bowed his head and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Seeing the other party leaving happily, Zu An did not dare to wander outside the palace anymore, otherwise he would lose the protection of the palace's luck, and he would be in trouble if he encountered any evil spirits.

Not long after he woke up after returning, it was almost time to go to court. Under the service of Princess Na Yuanji, Zu An quickly dressed up and came to the Golden Palace.

He has been in a high position in recent years and has long been accustomed to the routines of the palace, so there is nothing unusual about the etiquette at court.

But he was not careless from beginning to end, but made sure that every detail was impeccable.

No one knows what is being tested in this kind of test of time and space slicing. They can only make everything perfect.

He even had some suspicions that there might be some strange person in the palace. Once he showed anything wrong, he would be found to have evil spirits possessing the emperor and kill him.

After all, this world looks like a mortal dynasty, but in fact there are ministers who can kill dragons, and there are people among the people who can see through the secrets of heaven. Who knows what big boss is hidden in this court.

Soon after all the officials had finished paying their congratulations, they were divided into their respective classes. Zu An looked intently, and the memory in his mind allowed him to recognize the identities of these ministers. Among the civil servants were Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Xu Shiji, and Xu Jingzong. , Wang Gui et al.

Among the military attachés were Ma Sanbao, Duan Zhixian, Yin Kaishan, Cheng Yaojin, Liu Hongji, Hu Jingde, Qin Shubao, etc., all of whom were dignified and solemn.

But Prime Minister Wei Zheng was missing. Zu An pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "I had a strange dream at night. I dreamed of a man coming to visit me. He claimed to be the Dragon King of Jinghe River. He violated the laws of nature. The man was executed by Cao Guan Wei Zheng. I asked you to save him. I have already Promise. I won’t see Wei alone in front of class today

Zheng, why? ”

Since you are an emperor, you must take advantage of your status.

With so many capable people and strangers in the court, they might know how to break the situation.

At this time, Xu Shiji stepped forward and said: "This dream is correct. Wei Zheng will come to court in a moment. Your Majesty, don't let him go out. After this day, you can save the dragon in the dream."

The rest of the ministers praised him for his kindness, and Zu An frowned slightly. Of course he knew that this would not save the Dragon King, but there was no good way now, so he planned to ask Wei Zheng first.

Soon, when he was the commander, he went to receive the decree to declare the Wei Dynasty to enter the dynasty.

Not long after, Wei Zheng hurried over. After meeting him, he immediately kowtowed and apologized. "Pardon your innocence!" Seeing the other party's frightened look, Zu An was also in a daze. Speaking of it, Wei Zheng was a fierce man who could receive the decree of heaven and kill the Dragon King of Jinghe River with his soul, but he had to be so respectful to a mortal emperor. , could this be it?

The power of the human emperor protected by luck.

The dynasty immediately dispersed, leaving Wei Zheng alone. He announced the Jinluan and summoned him to the banquet hall. Zu An did not directly ask him about supervising the killing of the Dragon King, because then there would be no room for maneuver if he said he was dead.

So I started to make some insinuations, trying to find out the details of Wei Zheng.

After all, being appointed by the Heavenly Court to oversee the killing of the Dragon King does not look like a mortal.

It is a pity that Zu An has no cultivation at all now, and with the naked eye, it is impossible to tell whether Wei Zheng has any cultivation. When he saw him inquiring about his cultivation, Wei Zheng said solemnly: "The emperor is the king of a country. What he should consider on weekdays should be the strategy of peace and stability of the country, instead of imitating those hermits in the mountains who seek immortals. The emperor asked

There are many foolish kings. ”

There was a sense of majesty in his words, and Zu An could even feel a sense of fear coming from the body itself.

Zu An also found it a bit funny that an emperor like Li Shimin, who was about to conquer the world, would be afraid of such a civil servant. No wonder there were many stories about this pair of virtuous emperors and hostile ministers in history.

In order to avoid the other party's suspicion, Zu An did not continue to inquire, but discussed the ways of governing the country with him. Now he is the regent of the human race and the demon race. He has already seen a lot, and he has not revealed any flaws in this aspect. .

Unknowingly, it was approaching the end of the afternoon and the beginning of the afternoon. Zu An ordered the palace servants to take the big chess piece: "I will play a game of chess with Xian Qing."

Princess Yuanji took the chessboard and laid out the royal table.

Wei Zheng thanked him and played chess with Zu An. One by one, they set up a formation.

Zu An said that he had studied with Hei Baizi several times at the National Academy, but the practitioner's chess skills were not at the level of ordinary people.

He and Wei Zheng went back and forth, and for a while they were evenly matched.

Zu An was thinking while playing chess. According to the plot, Wei Zheng would fall asleep soon, and then in his dream his soul would leave his body and go to the Dragon Slaying Platform to kill the Jinghe Dragon King.

As long as I don't let him fall asleep, he can't be awake and kill the Jinghe Dragon King.

Everything went so smoothly...

But it went so well!

For some reason, Zu An felt an inexplicable sense of crisis, as if he was on the verge of a life-or-death decision.

Why do you feel like this?

Zu An also couldn’t figure it out. He had just faced the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty in the court, and he didn’t show any flaws. This should be the first assessment point;

Now, entangling Wei Zheng and rescuing the Jinghe Dragon King should be the second assessment point.

From the looks of it, everything has been completed impeccably. Later, as long as Wei Zheng is held back and prevented from sleeping, if he misses today's time and completes his promise to the Dragon King, his life and death will have nothing to do with him.

But why do I still have such a strong feeling that something is wrong, and even the hairs on my back stand on end.

Zu An knew that this was the spiritual sense he had developed while wandering on the edge of life and death for many years. This world could temporarily block his various abilities, but this spiritual sense could not be taken away.

At this moment, Wei Zheng yawned and lay down on the table naturally, snoring like thunder.

Zu An wanted to reach out to wake him up, but his hand was in mid-air and did not fall down in the end.

He finally figured out what the problem was.

Because the previous level was the Dragon King of Jinghe, I subconsciously assumed the perspective of the Dragon King and thought about how to get him through this level safely.

The existence of inertial thinking made him hear the Dragon King's cry for help, and subconsciously wanted to prevent Wei Zheng from saving him.

But in this level he is Tang Taizong Li Shimin!

His interests are not consistent with those of the Dragon King.

According to the original plot development, Li Shimin failed to save Li Shimin, and the deceased Dragon King of Jinghe reported to the King of Hell, and then there was a one-day trip to the underworld.

There is a hidden detail. Li Shimin was about to live until his death. Just because the judge in the underworld had a good relationship with Li Shimin and Wei Zheng, he secretly added twenty years to his life in the book of life and death!

So if you prevent Wei Zheng from killing the Dragon King, there will be no subsequent journey to the underworld, and naturally there will be no plot to extend his life. Then the next few days will be the day when he dies, and then he will really die after going to the underworld.

No wonder he had an inexplicable sense of life and death crisis just now!

This trial is really confusing. The Jinghe Dragon King in the previous level completely misled the decision making in this level. A seemingly simple situation can easily lead to a dead end.

Just like that, Zu Fang pretended not to know anything and let Wei Zheng sleep for a while, while Yuan Shen went to kill the Jinghe Dragon King.

Not long after, Wei Zheng woke up, fell down in the tunnel and said: "I deserve death! I deserve death! But I just fainted and didn't know what I was doing. I hope your majesty will forgive me for being arrogant!"

Zu An smiled slightly: "What's wrong with you? Get up, remove the remaining chess pieces, and play a new game with you."

Wei Zheng thanked him for his kindness, but he just picked up the son in his hand. He could only hear shouting and yelling towards the door.

Not long after, Qin Shubao and Xu Maogong came in carrying a **** faucet. They were amazed. It turned out that this thing suddenly fell from the clouds just now, so they came in to report.

Seeing the ferocious dragon head of the Jinghe Dragon King staring at him, seemingly filled with countless resentments, Zu An's body unconsciously began to beat faster, feeling uneasy.

He couldn't help but frown. Although Li Shimin fought against the world in mountains of swords and seas of fire, the wind and waves were still smaller than those seen by practitioners. He was actually frightened by such a dragon head.

Zu An looked at Wei Zheng, and Wei Zheng saluted directly to apologize, saying that he had just beheaded him in his dream.

So I took this opportunity to ask Wei Zheng why he had such magical power. Wei Zheng hesitated for a moment and explained: "I dare not lie to Your Majesty. Because of my upright nature, I have been selected by the Heavenly Court to serve as the Good Rewarding Secretary in the Yin Cao Division of the Netherworld. I will record all the good deeds of the deceased souls in the Yang world. I will wait until the Yang life is over in the future.

Go and perform your duties. ”

"Such a strange thing happened!" Zu An sighed from the bottom of his heart. He had heard Hei Bai Wuchang mention the second division of Rewarding Good and Punishing Evil in the Underworld Division before. He never expected that the person in charge of the Division of Rewarding Good and Punishing Evil was actually Wei Zheng. .

Wei Zheng seemed to be worried that he was too interested in these things, and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, as the True Dragon Emperor, is bound by the fate of the human emperor. As long as you work diligently and love the people, you don't need to pay too much attention to the affairs of ghosts and gods. You will have the protection of heaven and earth."

Zu An laughed loudly: "With a good teacher and friend like Ai Qing, I don't have to worry about instability in the Tang Dynasty."

I felt that although Wei Zheng's tone was stern to him, he had good intentions, so he had to hug his thick legs. While chatting, he pretended to ask inadvertently: "Ai Qing, have you ever heard of a fortune teller named Yuan Shoucheng on Chang'an West Street? It is said that his fortune-telling is so magical that every hexagram must be verified?"
