Chapter 218 The Attitude of the Tiandou Royal Family [5k]
Tiandou City, the Imperial Palace.
A somewhat ordinary-looking man came to the palace gate.
The guard at the door immediately straightened up when he saw him and saluted respectfully.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is already waiting for you in the conference room."
"Thank you."
The man smiled and nodded, his gentle and jade-like temperament making people feel like spring breeze just looking at him.
As the guard helped open the door, a magnificent palace came into view, fully demonstrating the luxury of an imperial family. The man's face remained calm when he saw this scene, and his eyes did not waver at all.
This is the palace where the highest authority in the Tiandou Empire, Emperor Xueye, lives. The emperor of an empire is naturally not so easy to see. Even if he is the prince, it is very difficult to see him, but today he is summoned by him Naturally, I am not so particular about it.
And this was not the first time he came here. He walked towards the conference room in a familiar way, but he felt a little wary in his heart. For so many years, if the other party had something to do, he would usually tell it in the morning and he needed to be summoned privately. The situation is really rare.
When he arrived at the door of the conference room, he took a deep breath to calm down and raised his hand to knock on the door.
Boom, boom, boom.
"Enter."
He pushed the door open and entered, but the scene in front of him made him pause for a moment. In addition to Emperor Xue Ye, there were also Prince Xue Xing and his fourth brother, Xue Beng, standing in the room.
The two of them frowned when they saw him. It seemed that they didn't know that they were also summoned. This made him feel slightly relieved and he slightly saluted Xue Ye who was sitting in his seat.
"I have met my father."
Then he nodded slightly towards the other two people.
"Uncle, fourth brother."
Xue Xing and Xue Beng also nodded in response. Although the princes competed with each other openly or covertly, they still had to show a harmonious atmosphere in front of the emperor. No one wanted to watch their descendants fight for the throne.
The next moment Emperor Xue Ye's voice attracted the attention of the three people.
"Now that everyone is here, let's talk directly. I called you here this time to ask if you know the origin of this thing."
As he spoke, light flashed in Emperor Xueye's hand, and a black box with more than a dozen small holes on one side appeared in front of everyone.
"Your Majesty, this is"
Looking at the confused expressions of the three of them, Emperor Xueye explained aloud.
"This is a weapon, similar to a machine launcher. Pulling the trigger can shoot out dozens of steel needles. I have ordered people to test it. The power is even enough to penetrate ordinary trees. In comparison, it is enough to threaten the soul." Zong’s life.”
Prince Snow Star's pupils shrank when he heard this, and his tone of voice rose a few degrees.
"Is there such a magical thing?"
"Well, the most important thing is that even ordinary people can use it. This thing was circulated in the hands of some nobles in Tiandou City a year ago. It was well received among them. Recently, the number has increased, and then it entered the In my royal family's vision, I also obtained two by chance. One of them has been dismantled in an attempt to find the doorway. However, this thing seems to have a self-destruction device and will be scrapped as soon as it is dismantled. "
Emperor Xue Ye said, with a trace of passion flashing in his eyes.
"So I summoned you guys to help find the person who made this thing. If you find it, see if you can recruit him into the royal family to make these magical props for our empire."
"Ordinary people can kill the Soul Sect if they can get it. If this thing can be equipped for the army of our empire, why should our Tiandou Empire be afraid of Xingluo and Wuhun Palace!? In this world, you can get it at your fingertips!"
He can already feel that his body has begun to decline in the past few years. He was incapable before, so he didn't think about it. As an emperor, who doesn't want his territory to spread across the continent?
Now that he had seen hope, how could he just let it slip away? What a great thing it would be if we could unify the continent in our lifetime?
He will be the emperor of the Tiandou Empire whose name will go down in history!
From now on, my descendants will all offer incense to themselves when they worship their ancestors!
Hearing these heroic words, Xue Qinghe was shocked. We, Tiandou, are the weakest among the three major forces. If the other party doesn't come to attack us, it will be a big deal. Do you want to unify the continent by relying on this broken iron box? Who gave you the courage to think about this?
I saw him cupping his hands and opening his mouth to admonish.
"Father, please think twice. Although this thing is very useful for low-end soul masters, it has no effect at all on the level of Titled Douluo. It may have a miraculous effect against the Star Luo Empire, but the gathering in the Spirit Hall We have defeated most of the titled Douluo in the mainland. Once they are angered, they will cause a devastating blow to our empire. I am afraid that this thing alone is not enough. "
Emperor Xue Ye's face did not change at all, and he nodded in approval. He had also thought about this matter, and cutting-edge power was also indispensable. The other purpose of calling Xue Qinghe this time was to let him explore Ning Fengzhi's tone. .
"I don't know where Sect Leader Ning is?"
Xue Qinghe hesitated for a moment, lowered his head slightly and said.
"I will find time to ask the teacher, but father, it is better not to have too high expectations. According to my understanding of the teacher, he should not do such a thing. Not long ago, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect was still in contact with Wuhun Palace. We financed the construction of the Spirit Transferring Pagoda together, and I think the relationship has eased."
"To put it another way, even if the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect goes out, there are only two Titled Douluo. At the time of the Soul Master Competition, there were as many as six Titled Douluo from the Spirit Hall."
The intuitive comparison of numbers alone can make Xue Ye understand that this gap can be described as a natural chasm, not to mention that there is a huge gap in strength between the Titled Douluo.
Moreover, he knows that his teacher's precious daughter has been taken to Chuanling City by that guy. Now the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is almost in the same boat with the Spirit Hall. You want your teacher to help you fight the Spirit Hall?
Are you awake?
Xue Ye thought for a moment, sighed and said.
"In that case, let's find the creator first. Even if we don't take the initiative to start a war, if we control this power in our hands, we can prevent the other two forces from attacking us, and we won't be powerless to resist at that time."
"Yes, I will send someone to find clues later."
"Well, you go down."
"I'll take my leave."
Xue Qinghe bowed his head and saluted, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and he turned and left.
Watching the other party leave, Prince Xuexing pursed his lips and whispered to Emperor Xue Ye.
"Your Majesty, I think that Master Ning and the Crown Prince have been a little too close to the Spirit Hall in recent years. Although that Saint Son is indeed worthy of friendship, he is loyal to the Spirit Hall after all, not to my Tiandou Empire. Your Majesty, please pay more attention."
Hearing this, Xue Ye's hand holding the armrest tightened slightly, but his face remained calm, and he spoke in a calm tone.
"The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is the only one among the top three sects that openly supports our Tiandou Empire. I naturally trust Sect Master Ning. Don't mention this matter again. As for Qinghe, I am still happy to see it happen with a good relationship with the Holy Son."
His words have made his meaning very clear. The Tiandou Empire cannot do without the support of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi's attitude towards his Tiandou royal family has not changed, but how could he not have any thoughts when he suddenly has such a good relationship with the Spirit Hall?
We are all old married couples. You are running out to cheat now. It may seem okay now, but who knows if you will fall in love with each other over time and be seduced by the vixen outside?
But even if you have an idea, what can you do?
As long as the other party still publicly supports Tiandou for one day.
As long as the Tiandou royal family has not found another backer.
As long as Tiandou is not able to face the other two covetous forces alone.
He had to pretend he didn't see it, because it wasn't the other party who begged him, but he had to beg the other party. The Tiandou royal family didn't have its own titled Douluo. It was with the support of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect that Xing Luo was afraid to act rashly and never dared to attack them.
Breaking up with Ning Fengzhi? Xing Luo and the Spirit Hall were waiting for this moment.
This was also the reason why he was eager to find the black box maker. Relying on the help of others was not a long-term solution. Only by keeping the power firmly in his own hands could his Tiandou Empire last forever.
As for Xue Qinghe, he still trusted him in his heart. The only thing he was worried about was that as Ning Fengzhi's disciple, the other party would be affected by Ning Fengzhi. But if he targeted Xue Qinghe because of such a false thing, wouldn't it show his attitude to Ning Fengzhi?
And he only had two sons left. The fourth son Xue Beng was like a dandy all day long, and he couldn't help the mud.
The second son, Xue Qinghe, was praised by everyone. Compared with Xue Beng, he was completely different. Apart from having a good relationship with the Holy Son, he was very satisfied with everything else. He was not so opposed to the relationship with the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall. After all, judging from the appearance and temperament of the young man, even he would want to make friends with him when he saw him.
In general, he had already had a grudge against Ning Fengzhi, which was more or less implicated in Xue Qinghe.
Xue Xing naturally heard the other party's implication, which was what he wanted to see.
Of course, he hoped that the Tiandou Empire would get better and better, but the most important thing was to save his own life. He had already supported Xue Beng. If Xue Qinghe became the emperor in the end, how could he survive?
Before, he could still face it calmly with his relationship with Dugu Bo, thinking that even if he made the wrong choice, he could still be safe under Dugu Bo's protection, but Dugu Bo actually joined the Spirit Transmission Tower without saying a word!
Although he left his granddaughter in Tiandou City to express his attitude, without Dugu Bo by his side, he was cautious even when he went out in the past two years.
Exhausted, he could only secretly think of ways to support Xue Beng to take the throne. He didn't dare to do it openly. After all, the deaths of the two princes before were all strange. Xue Beng was his last trump card, so he had to be careful.
Fortunately, the suspicion had already arisen, so he just had to wait for the right time. From the current situation, if Xue Beng could make Emperor Xue Ye see the value, he might have a chance to compete for the throne.
Thinking of this, he bowed and apologized.
"I said too much, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"It's okay, I won't do it again, you can go down too."
"Yes."
Outside the palace, Xue Qinghe, who had not walked far, looked so gloomy that water could drip out of his face.
Although it seemed that Emperor Xue Ye had not completely lost his mind, once the seed of ambition was planted, it would be difficult to change.
He almost prepared to bring forward the plan just now, but soon gave up. After all, if he implemented the plan at this juncture, even Xue Ye would probably doubt him. After thinking about it, he decided to wait and see. The more anxious he was, the easier it would be to make mistakes. He had been dormant for so long, and he must not give up all his previous efforts because of a momentary impulse.
The power currently controlled by the Tiandou Empire is too weak. Even if the creator is found, with his previous warning, the war will not start in the next few years. When this matter is forgotten by several people, it will not be too late for him to implement the plan, and he can directly take over the stronger empire.
As he thought about it, he thought of himself becoming the emperor of Tiandou, imprisoning Huo Yuhao in the palace, singing and dancing every night, and making love. For a moment, he felt a surge of blood rushing to his head, and his breathing became heavier.
That scene, just thinking about it, it feels extremely beautiful and perverted!
Qian Renxue, Qian Renxue! You are the descendant of the six-winged angel spirit! How can you be so dirty!
Huo Yuhao, who was far away in Chuanling City, sneezed for no apparent reason, and a trace of confusion flashed across his eyes.
Can we catch a cold with this physique?
Business matters are more important.
Without thinking too much, he looked around at the people he had summoned and spoke in a gentle voice.
"I am going to go on a long journey. This trip may take as short as a year, or as long as I can't say. Anyway, I will come back as soon as the matter is resolved."
He couldn't help but smile as he said this, and handed a storage bracelet to Tang Yuehua.
"Sister Yuehua, these are all soul guides that I have already classified. The highest level is seven. Even if I recruit twice as many people and let them exchange through contributions, it will not be a problem to cope with a few years."
These are not all his achievements in the past seven months, but the high-end ones can be said to be all in it. In addition, he has also made countless first, second and third level soul guides, so that he can exchange them for the currency of the Sun and Moon Continent when the time comes.
After all, the two continents have not collided yet, and the currency has not been unified. After thinking about it, only the soul guides are expensive and will be easier to sell.
For this, Brother Tianmeng even teased him that he could sell his body, which would definitely make money faster than selling soul guides.
Tang Yuehua pursed her lips and nodded after taking it.
"Okay"
"Oh, yes! And"
Seeing Tang Yuehua accept it, Huo Yuhao seemed to have thought of something, and took out another card and stuffed it into the other party's hand.
"This is the key to my soul guide research room. You can open the door by scanning it at the soul guide at the door. There are also two experimental tables I made inside. On the table are the manual for using the experimental table and the introductory tutorial for soul guides that I wrote."
This experimental table is an improvement on the one he saw in Mingde Hall of the Sun and Moon Empire in his previous life. It has all the functions such as mold making, high-temperature shaping, stamping, etc. If you don't read the instruction manual, you can't understand it.
In general, although it is not as good as the one he had after ascending to the God Realm in his previous life, it is much more advanced than the one in Mingde Hall.
As the saying goes, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. After he made this table, the progress of making soul guides was obviously more than doubled.
He left two in the research room before going on this trip, which should be enough. He planned to take the other two to the Sun Moon Continent in case of emergency.
After all, with this thing, it is equivalent to a small portable soul guide laboratory. Just find a flat place to put it and start making it.
"In addition, there are several first- and second-level soul guide samples, and tools such as carving knives are also available. If anyone here is interested, you can take the time to learn from them. If one or two of you can become second-level soul guides when I come back, I will reward you."
"If something big happens during this period, you will listen to Sister Yuehua. If there is danger, ask for help from those soul beast seniors. I have already said hello. If they can't solve it, Senior Di Tian will come forward."
Listening to Huo Yuhao's detailed explanation of various precautions, everyone's eyes became more and more reluctant.
Finally, the boy paused, looked around, and laughed softly.
"That's about it. Take care of yourself. I hope you can become stronger next time you come back."
