Chapter 221: Unusual Movement

Tiandou City.

Inside the Tiandou Imperial Palace.

Empress Xueke is immersed in handling state affairs.

After such a long time, and with the help of Ning Fengzhi, Empress Xueke has officially become a qualified emperor from an innocent princess.

Nowadays, whether she is dealing with state affairs or balancing the relationship between the court and court, she is able to do it with ease.

The price is that the smile on Xue Ke's face becomes less and less.

Now there was a touch of majesty on her face.

Ning Fengzhi stood aside, with a touch of relief and a touch of unbearability in her eyes.

The heavy burden of the country falls on Xue Ke, which is really a bit too cruel.

Obviously the other party should be in his best years now, but he has to work all day long on state affairs.

If there was no other way, Ning Fengzhi really didn't want Xue Ke to accept the heavy responsibility of Emperor Tiandou.

However, Qian Renxue was too ruthless and killed all the heirs of the Tiandou Empire.

Now only Xue Ke is the most suitable!

"Your Majesty, you have been busy for so long, please rest for a while!"

Ning Fengzhi spoke at the right time.

Xue Ke raised her head and forced a smile, but there was a hint of fatigue between her brows.

Only in front of Ning Fengzhi would Xue Ke show such a posture.

"It's okay, I'm not tired."

"Is there any movement in Wuhun Palace and Xingluo Empire recently?"

Hearing Xue Ke's question, Ning Fengzhi sighed inwardly, but did not continue to persuade.

He shook his head slightly, "The Wuhun Palace has been quiet since its defeat in Snowfield City. However, according to our investigation, the Wuhun Palace should have suffered a lot of losses."

"Even Titled Douluo lost a few!"

Snowfield City is also Lin Chuan's territory after all.

Although the other party apparently belonged to the Zhenbei King of the Tiandou Empire, Ning Fengzhi did not dare to openly send people to investigate.

It would be troublesome if unnecessary misunderstandings were caused.

It took a lot of effort to find out everything about the original situation.

When Ning Fengzhi heard the news, his face was full of disbelief.

Even the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect suffered heavy losses in the Wuhun Palace's sneak attack. Not only did Snowfield City successfully repel the Wuhun Palace, but it also lost several titled Douluo.

To be honest, this is something Ning Fengzhi never dared to think about.

But after he calmed down, he couldn't help but feel lucky.

Fortunately, the empire has a good relationship with Snowfield City. If Wuhun Palace really takes action against the empire in the future, it can still ask Lin Chuan for help.

"Is King Zhenbei so powerful?"

Xue Ke was obviously very surprised.

Ning Fengzhi smiled and nodded, "Although I can't believe it, it is the only possibility that the ambitious Wuhun Palace can suddenly stop its plans."

"The strength of King Zhenbei has exceeded everyone's imagination!"

Hearing Ning Fengzhi's emotion, a bright light suddenly flashed in Xueke's eyes.

She spoke tentatively, "Ning Qing, do you want to summon King Zhenbei to the palace to discuss important matters?"

"If King Zhenbei is willing to assist the empire, there will be no need to worry about the threat from Wuhun Palace!"

"this"

Ning Fengzhi was obviously very moved.

But he quickly smiled bitterly, "Although it may sound unpleasant to say this, King Zhenbei obviously does not have much sense of belonging to the empire."

"It might be okay to ask him for help. After all, your Majesty granted you a royal title and also gave me a national treasure."

"With my understanding of King Zhenbei, he may be able to help."

"But when the crisis is over, I'm afraid there won't be much left of the friendship between King Zhenbei and the empire!"

Ning Fengzhi sighed softly.

He was quite accurate in judging people, and Lin Chuan was definitely not the kind of person who was greedy for power.

When the king was awarded the title in the palace, the other party did not show any excitement, and only when he saw the Vast Sea Universe Cover, his emotions fluctuated a bit.

This is also the reason why Ning Fengzhi said what he just said.

Hearing this, Xue Ke couldn't help but frown.

"In Ning Qing's opinion, what should we do now?"

"Nowadays, we still need to be wary of Wuhun Palace. Although Wuhun Palace may suffer a lot of losses, it will make a comeback sooner or later due to its ambitions."

"King Zhenbei is not a man who is greedy for power. According to the intelligence sent back, he treats the civilians in the territory very well."

"If Wuhun Palace really invades on a large scale, we can ask King Zhenbei to help."

"But if you want King Zhenbei to help you wholeheartedly, you may have to use other methods!"

Speaking of this, an inexplicable light suddenly flashed in Ning Fengzhi's eyes.

"any solution?!"

After hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Xueke quickly asked.

After hesitating for a moment, Ning Fengzhi finally answered, "King Zhenbei is still young, so perhaps he can get closer to the empire through marriage."

"Ning Qing means to let the empire marry him? This is a good idea. I remember that there are several suitable candidates among my sisters."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Ning Fengzhi shook his head.

"Your Majesty, you are actually the most suitable candidate for marriage!"

"What? Me?!"

Xue Ke obviously didn't expect Ning Fengzhi to say that, and her cheeks instantly turned red.

Recalling certain images in his mind, he became even more visibly panicked.

"How about that?"

"Your Majesty, please be patient."

Ning Fengzhi comforted her softly, "Actually, getting married is a good thing. Although Your Majesty is a woman, you are now the Empress of Heaven Dou, and you will need an heir to inherit the throne in the future."

"Since we have to get married sooner or later, then naturally only the best man can be worthy of Your Majesty."

"And King Zhenbei definitely has this qualification!"

Xue Ke also thinks this makes sense.

If even Lin Chuan is not worthy, then there is no man in the entire continent who is worthy!

"Besides that, there is another reason, and that is King Zhenbei's talent!"

"Your Majesty should know that the more outstanding the talents of both parents, the more likely the children born will inherit the talents of both parents."

"However, Your Majesty, your talent is not very good. Only by giving birth to sufficiently outstanding heirs can we ensure the long-term prosperity of the royal family."

"Honestly, I have never seen anyone as gifted as King Zhenbei."

"If your majesty can combine with her and give birth to an heir, there is a high probability that he will inherit his talent. By then, your majesty's descendants may be able to have a titled Douluo."

Hearing this, Xue Ke had to admit that her heart was indeed moved.

Of course, what's more important is that she doesn't feel disgusted with Lin Chuan in her heart, and even admires him a little.

After all, when Xue Ke was still a princess, she had met Lin Chuan several times at the celebration banquet.

Especially after learning about the other party's feats, I already felt a sense of admiration in my heart.

It was only after he inherited the throne that he hid this emotion.

But now that Ning Fengzhi said this, the previous admiration suddenly came back to his heart.

However, it was still a bit embarrassing for Xue Ke to agree to such a thing.

"Ning Qing, we will discuss this matter later."

"Also, has there been any unusual behavior in the Star Luo Empire recently? I heard that there was an evil soul master causing trouble there."

Xue Ke changed the subject a little stiffly.

Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi seemed to have guessed something. She chuckled slightly and continued following the conversation.

"Your Majesty, this is indeed the case."

"Send people to strictly guard against evil spirit masters. We must not let evil soul masters escape into the territory of our Tiandou Empire and endanger our people!"

Xue Ke looked serious and obviously hated the evil soul master deeply.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will always pay attention to this matter."

Xue Ke nodded lightly, "With Ning Qing here, I can feel more at ease."

At this point, she sighed again.

"It hasn't been too long since the imperial power of the Star Luo Empire changed. The newly succeeded Dai Mubai's foundation is unstable. Perhaps in order to establish his authority, he will inevitably not do something."

"You must pay close attention. If the Star Luo Empire makes any unusual moves at this time, the empire must respond as soon as possible."

"I obey!"

Ning Fengzhi also nodded seriously.

Although he knew that Dai Mubai was once a member of Shrek Academy and was even a classmate of his daughter.

But that was a few years ago after all.

It's hard to guarantee what the other party will look like now.

And according to the information collected by Ning Fengzhi, Dai Mubai abandoned Zhu Zhuqing, who was engaged, and escaped alone, twice.

For such a person, it is difficult for people to believe that he will miss old feelings.

Just when the monarch and his ministers were discussing important matters.

There was a sudden fluctuation in the space.

Gu Rong suddenly appeared.

"Your Majesty, Fengzhi, something happened!"

Ning Fengzhi's expression suddenly condensed, "Uncle Gu, what happened? Could it be that Wuhun Palace has made another move?"

Gu Rong shook his head, "It's not the Spirit Hall, it's the Star Luo Empire."

"Your Majesty Bone Douluo, what happened to the Star Luo Empire?"

Xue Ke couldn't help but ask.

Gu Rong no longer pretended, "According to the news from the border guards, there seems to be signs of large-scale military activities in the Star Luo Empire, and they have begun to move towards the empire."

"What?!"

Hearing this, Xue Ke and Ning Fengzhi changed their expressions almost at the same time.

"What is the Star Luo Empire doing? Could it be that they are going to war with our Tiandou Empire?"

Xue Ke couldn't help but roar softly.

You must know that Dai Mubai has only succeeded to the throne for a few months, not even half a year.

Nowadays, it is difficult not to think too much about mobilizing large armies.

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to speculate on what the Star Luo Empire's plans are. We must make preparations as soon as possible."

Ning Fengzhi immediately reminded loudly.

Xue Ke came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and his expression became extremely serious.

The originally pretty face now took on a more heroic air.

"Pass the order, the border troops will be on strict guard and pay close attention to every move of the Star Luo Empire. If there is any intention to invade our Tiandou Empire, they must stop the Xing Luo army at the border."

"Also, Marshal Xuan Gelong came to see me!"

The actions of the Star Luo Empire naturally attracted the attention of the entire continent.

Lin Chuan had just returned from the Star Dou Forest and learned the news from Shui Lanxin.

"Are you ready to take action now? You really have no patience at all!"

It has only been a few months since Dai Mubai succeeded to the throne. Are you planning to take revenge?

Has Tang San become a god?

After all, that guy was able to escape from Mr. Xiong back then, and his strength was obviously not weak after his resurrection.

With the ability to devour, his cultivation is likely to advance rapidly.

Now that there is such a big move suddenly, it is obviously very confident.

"Xiaochuan, what should we do now?"

Shui Lanxin couldn't help but ask.

Lin Chuan shook his head gently, "Don't worry about it, I'm here for everything, and the Star Luo Empire's first goal should be the Spirit Hall."

"If they really plan to deal with Snowfield City, they must either communicate with the Tiandou Empire or declare war."

"It's still early!"

It's just a little noise, there's no need to be so surprised.

"Dean, please pay attention to the movement in Tiandou City."

"Xiaochuan, you are worried."

Shui Lanxin heard something and couldn't help showing surprise.

Lin Chuan smiled and shook his head, "It's just a guess. Although it's unlikely, what if it happens? It's better to keep a hand insurance."

Hearing this, Shui Lanxin also nodded.

"Don't worry, I will let people pay attention to Tiandou City."

"Then I'll trouble the dean!"

After reporting this matter, Shui Lanxin turned around and left in a hurry.

The peaceful days are almost gone.

Now is also the key time to decide whether they can survive this turmoil, so they can't be careless.

"Is it the Xingluo Empire that plays the first card?"

"It seems that we have to find a time to leave, but before that, there is one thing that needs to be solved."

Lin Chuan flashed back to his yard.

His mind moved.

The light suddenly lit up between his eyebrows.

The blue-patterned tripod landed steadily on the ground.

Lin Chuan stretched out his hand and grasped it, and the fiery red pill bead inside the blue-patterned tripod appeared in his palm.

The next moment, a red shadow appeared on the side.

"Human, why did you call me out again?"

Lin Chuan responded softly, "Fire Dragon King, now it's your turn to fulfill your promise!"

"You broke through level 100?!"

The Fire Dragon King's dragon soul felt something and showed surprise on his face.

Lin Chuan nodded, "Yes, now it's your turn to become my soul ring."

"You won't regret it at the last minute, will you?"

"Of course not!"

The Fire Dragon King responded without hesitation.

"Okay, let's start now!"

"In addition, like the Water Dragon King, give your most powerful magic skills to the soul ring, which contains all the insights into the power of the fire element!"

Lin Chuan made his request.

The Fire Dragon King's face changed, "Human, you are really greedy."

But now she has no choice.

Regarding resurrection, no matter what Lin Chuan asked, she could only agree.

"Stop talking nonsense and get started!"

"Hmph!"

The Fire Dragon King snorted.

The next moment, the Fire Dragon King's dragon soul instantly flew back into his real name Danzhu.

A dazzling light burst out and turned into a stream of light flying towards Lin Chuan's forehead.

At the moment of contact, it actually went straight through the skin and entered the sea of ​​​​spirit.

Then the fire-colored halo enveloped Lin Chuan's entire body, and a powerful soul power surged wildly, turning into bursts of thick fog and entering the body.

A soul ring also quietly emerged behind Lin Chuan.

And as the energy poured in, blazing flames also appeared on Lin Chuan's body surface.

The high temperature raged, and the surroundings were instantly condensed into a sea of ​​​​fire.

Lin Chuan sat cross-legged on the ground steadily, allowing the heat to erode his body, but he did not feel uncomfortable. He silently suppressed the energy in his body and absorbed and refined it.

However, the clothes on his body were burned to ashes by this raging fire.
