The emperor's eyes became meaningful, which made him even breathing tense for several seconds. Mingxi's move to tap the handrail was a little faster, but his tone was still calm: "He chose the right person, at least in terms of evaluating you and Zhu Yan, I admit that he was slightly better."

Mu Xizhao suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to the emperor, but he couldn't say a word. Master Xiao's trust in him was inexplicable. That day, at the bottom of the Royal Binding Jue, he took the man's sleeve and begged him to save him. But in fact, he did not think that Master Xiao would really save him, and even helped him get rid of the soul-melting technique in his body and completely save him from Gao Chengchuan's nightmare!

After Gao Chengchuan's fall, Lord Xiao became the hottest figure in the empire, but the good times did not last long. He quickly became a wanted criminal in the entire territory, and he has been carrying countless infamous names to this day, even implicated the entire military cabinet, and even suffered unreasonable abuse in the execution of missions.

But even so, he still stubbornly chose to stay in the military cabinet, just like the day when Lord Xiao made an inexplicable help. At this time, he inexplicably believed that the person would definitely come back.

"Mu Xizhao." Mingxi called his name lightly, his eyes flashed sharply, as if he was questioning, and it seemed like a temptation, "You won't be the second Zhu Yan, are you?"

"I don't dare!" He came back to his senses in an instant, knelt on the ground and raised his head instinctively, and repeated with his eyes firmly as iron, "I will not become the second Zhu Yan."

"Get up." Mingxi waved his hand calmly, and a gentle smile appeared again on the corner of his mouth. "There is one thing I want to hand over to you. I was originally planning to transfer Mu Yun back. After all, he has more experience than you, has better backgrounds, and speaks more importantly, but I suddenly changed my mind."

Mu Xizhao didn't dare to be careless. At this midnight, there were only him and the Emperor of Heaven in Wanluo Palace, and any order must be of great importance!

Mingxi stopped his fingers and lowered his voice after the entire hall fell silent: "I want to leave the imperial capital. I don't know if I can come back safely, but some things must be prepared early."

"Are you leaving the imperial capital?" Mu Xizhao suddenly changed color, and there was an anxiety in his eyes that could no longer be suppressed. He blurted out in surprise and even his tone went out of tune.

In the past six months, Feiyuan's four major realms were not peaceful. Apart from the most serious fragmentation disaster, there was also a drug storm that spreaded and spreaded unknown when the city needed to be rebuilt, roads needed to be repaired, and injuries needed to be treated. There was an extremely shortage of manpower everywhere. Under various natural disasters and difficulties, there were increasingly violent monsters coming out to cause trouble from time to time. However, this harsh environment made some robbers, bandits and thieves unable to restrain themselves from taking the opportunity to make money from the national crisis. He could say no exaggeration that at present, except for the heavily guarded inner city of the imperial capital, Feiyuan is safe!

At this time, the Emperor of Heaven admitted to him that he wanted to leave the imperial capital? He even said something the emperor shouldn't say- "I don't know if I can come back safely."

Mingxi saw his shock, but just made a gesture to let him sit down and not be excited. He hadn't said so many things for a long time. At this moment, he was really breathless. He fumbled a purple-gold token from his arms and threw it to him, asking: "You should know this thing? It's a military order that only people at the level of the Imperial Army's deputy generals had. After the troops stationed in the capital were paralyzed by the Star Saint's own private actions, Gao Chengchuan gathered new personnel from the nearby wasteland to prepare to reorganize the troops stationed in the capital. However, before the matter was completely handed over, he died."

Mu Xizhao nodded. Although he was puzzled, he did not dare to interrupt his words when he saw the emperor's serious face. Mingxi raised his eyebrows and showed a sarcastic smile: "Later, Gao Zhanping instigated my second brother Mingye to rebel, and then I secretly ordered people to remove him, and disbanded the original imperial guards on the spot. According to the jurisdiction area, the nearby military cabinet was divided into unified management. However, the daily training of the two armies was very different, so although it was merged on the surface, it would take a long time for the internal integration to be truly integrated. For this reason, I went to find someone to come back. He was the instructor of the original imperial guards, named Sha Hanfei."

"Sha, Instructor Sha?" Obviously, he is not unfamiliar with this name. Mu Xizhao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he subconsciously looked down at the purple-gold token in his palm.

Mingxi nodded with an admiring smile on his face, and added happily: "Because of his stern style, the noble children who were catching up in the eighth military halls often complained to him, so he was secretly called the 'Sand Bandit'. Haha, it's an interesting nickname suitable for him."

Mu Xizhao laughed. He had suffered a lot under that man, but he knew that he was a righteous person. But when he thought of his subsequent experience, he couldn't help but sigh regretfully and whisper: "Instructor Sha was dismissed from his post a few years ago for some things."

"I know." Mingxi smiled silently, lowered his head for a while, and sighed, "At that time, I handed over the position of the military chief who might have given you from him to Xiao Qianye, which caused Gao Chengchuan to be destructive of the military plan. Therefore, his strategy changed, in order to allow his own people to control the power of the imperial guards more deeply, he found various reasons to eliminate dissidents. The twelve people who were dismissed and thirty-eight people who were demoted were one of them. Because he questioned that he wanted to completely turn the imperial guards into a toy of the Gao family, he was driven out by Gao Chengchuan."

Mu Xizhao was secretly shocked. Even Gao Chengchuan's so-called "adopted son" was not very clear about these matters. The crown prince had already investigated so deeply at that time?

"I invited Instructor Sha back and asked him to help me protect the outer city of the imperial capital." Mingxi suddenly changed his tone and the atmosphere became particularly solemn. "I can still feel at ease with Marshal Sitian and the old military officials in the inner city. However, the land and population of the inner city only account for less than one-tenth of the Tianyu City. There are more than two million civilians in the outer city. At present, there are fewer people. I cannot just focus on the imperial capital and then mobilize troops from the four major realms. Therefore, I need you to assist Instructor Sha to mobilize the original troops of the imperial guards to protect the outer city of the imperial capital."

Mu Xizhao took a deep breath, obviously not understanding what the "protection" in the emperor's mouth meant. Mingxi looked at him seriously and walked over and put it on his shoulder. His eyes were like a mountain of Tai, which made Mu Xizhao breathe harder. He could only hear a word in his ear: "I want to leave the imperial capital and go to the center of the snow field. The decisive battle of the shattered disaster is coming. At that time, the monsters in the whole area will be out of control and run wild because of the power of commanding all beasts. You must protect the civilians of the imperial capital as much as possible. If I can come back safely on this trip, it is when Feiyuan completely gets rid of the nightmare and is reborn. If he cannot come back... Then, life and death will be shared with each other, Feiyuan will not give up his motherland and choose to escape."

Mu Xizhao was motionless, his whole body was as stiff as iron, as if he didn't understand anything, and seemed to understand everything.
