Chapter 29: First Meeting with Duan Zhengchun

On the road the next day, Jiumozhi still assumed the role of Sha Wujing, but by this time his mind had changed. With respect for Lin Tianyao, he has no emotions when doing anything and is extremely active. The few people he serves go on the road comfortably, just like a big servant.

When they arrived at Dali Kingdom, Duan Yu was already recognized outside the city gate. Report immediately, and within an hour, a sedan chair will come out to greet you. Lin Tianyao and the other three also received extremely high treatment because they became friends with Prince Dali.

Jiumozhi left the team one day before arriving in Dali. To get the secret book of the Six Meridians Divine Sword, you don't have to enter the Dali Palace. Naturally, you go straight to Tianlong Temple to find Master Kurong. According to records, the Six Meridians Divine Sword is with Master Kurong.

The Dali Imperial Palace is magnificent and extremely luxurious. Even though it was only a small country, its layout was exquisite, materials were precious, and every building was built by manpower. This kind of building does not exist in modern times. Lin Tianyao entered the Dali Palace and couldn't help but look around.

If this place were placed in modern times, how much admission would have to be charged before people could come in and visit? If I had the ability to turn things around and bring this Dali Palace to modern times, I would make a fortune. Lin Tianyao was making love, with a smile on his face, and called the servant next to him to see him, muttering in a low voice, where are these bumpkins, young master?

Zhong Ling also came to the palace for the first time. He couldn't help but look around, and occasionally exclaimed in surprise. He was full of country bumpkin style. In contrast, Mu Wanqing said calmly, his face was always cold, only his eyes were When he came into contact with Lin Tianyao, an imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Duan Zhengchun, the king of Zhennan, was discussing state affairs with the Emperor of Dali Kingdom Duan Zhengming in the palace. Suddenly, he heard from his subordinates that Duan Yu had returned to Dali Kingdom. In a hurry, he had no time to return to the prince's palace, so he asked his servants to pick up Duan Yu and others immediately. When I came to the palace, I was waiting anxiously in the side hall of the palace.

Lin Tianyao and others entered the side hall and saw Duan Zhengchun. He appears to be thirty-five years old, with piercing eyes, thick eyebrows, square lips, and a high nose. He is a very handsome man, and his appearance is somewhat similar to Duan Yu.

Duan Zhengchun saw Duan Yu enter the palace and rushed to greet him. His eyes were eager but his face was cold and he shouted, "You kid, where have you been these days? I sent four fishermen, woodcutter, farmers and readers to look for you. There has been no news for many days.”

Duan Yu scratched the back of his head and said slightly apologetically, "My child has been playing around a lot, which makes you worried, dad. It's really wrong, but when my child comes back this time, I will bring you a master, so that you don't have to force me in the future." Have you learned martial arts?"

Duan Zhengchun listened to Duan Yu's words and turned to look at the three of them. His eyes passed over Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling one by one until they landed on Lin Tianyao. He lowered his voice and said, "Who is this young hero?"

"Dad, this is Young Master Lin. His internal strength is simply unbelievable!" Duan Yu spoke first, and this was not a lie.

Lin Tianyao nodded slightly to Duan Zhengchun. Duan Zhengchun saw that Lin Tianyao was still young and how could such an old boy have such profound internal strength. He just said that Duan Yuxin was talking about it and didn't take it to heart. Then when he looked at Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling, his expression paused.

"Oh, this is Miss Mu Wan Qingmu, and this is Miss Zhong Lingzhong, they are all friends I made along the way." Duan Yu said immediately.

Duan Zhengchun hesitated, feeling that the two girls looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them before. This was difficult, as Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling were both Duan Zhengchun's daughters.

I didn’t expect that I would have such a beautiful and ageless father-in-law. There's no guarantee that this guy won't steal women from me in the future. Lin Tianyuan looked at Duan Zhengchun's handsome face and muttered in his heart.

"Well, since you are Yu'er's friend, you have to treat me well." Duan Zhengchun said politely, "Follow me back to the Prince's Mansion later, and I will arrange a place to stay. As for you, Yu'er, come with me to meet your brother. , he has a set of Duan family’s sword skills that he wants to teach you.”

When Duan Zhengchun saw that Duan Yu was unwilling to learn martial arts from him, he would definitely restrain himself if Duan Zhengming, the emperor, taught him. This was also the strategy Duan Zhengchun had been thinking about in the past few days.

After Duan Yu heard Duan Zhengchun's words, he immediately lowered his face and said, "Dad, my child has already found such a master, why do you still force my child to learn martial arts?"

Duan Zhengchun glanced at Lin Tianyao, with a slight contempt in his eyes. Although it was not obvious, it did not escape Lin Tianyao's eyes.

Although he was looking down on him in his heart, Duan Zhengchun was polite and said, "Even if there are masters, you are the son of my king and your elder brother has no heirs. It is very likely that you will become the king of Dali. We in Dali use military force. How can you not do anything to build a country?"

"Dad!" Duan Yu argued and shouted, "Even if you don't know martial arts, you may not be able to govern the country well. The sages Yao, Shun, and Yu Tang were not martial arts masters!"

"You!" Duan Zhengchun had a sullen look on his face, obviously irritated.

When the father and son were arguing, a servant suddenly came to report. Duan Zhengchun flicked his sleeves and called a servant in. The man knelt down and said, "Tell the King of Zhennan that there is news from Tianlong Temple that a lama broke into the temple and asked Master Kurong to hand over the secret book of the Six Meridians Divine Sword, otherwise he will Master Kurong fought with the lama to turn Tianlong Temple into a river of blood. Unexpectedly, the lama was very skilled in martial arts. Master Kurong struggled to hold on and could no longer hold on. The emperor had already taken the first step and asked for help from King Zhennan. After finishing the housework, please go quickly."

"What?! There is actually someone who can beat Master Kurong?" Duan Zhengchun's face changed slightly after hearing the servant's words, and then he waved his sleeves and said, "I will leave now." He turned back to Duan Yu and said, "Yu'er, you take your friends back to the prince's mansion first."

"Dad! I will go with you. My friends also have special skills and may be able to help." Duan Yu said hurriedly.

Lin Tianyao naturally knew that it was Jiumozhi who was causing trouble. Even Master Kurong was not Jiumozhi's opponent, let alone this Zhennan King.

Duan Zhengchun frowned. Although he didn't believe how superb Lin Tianyao's internal strength was, he nodded and said, "This lama is extraordinary. Yu'er, when you arrive at Tianlong Temple, you must put away your great principles and don't say them."  ....
