The news of Xiao Tiannan's trip to the Holy Rune Hall was known to King Nioh and Mad King through the spies.

But when King Ming learned the news, it was Xiao Tiannan who sent griffin messengers to take the initiative to communicate with King Ming.

Among the three major palaces, the Ming Palace is not the most luxurious and magnificent one, but it is definitely the most majestic one.

The entire Ming Palace is square, and each layout is in line with the royal etiquette system of the Holy Dynasty, even the direction of the palace door of the Ming Palace, and the number of door nails on the palace door.

They are all arranged in strict accordance with the grade of King Ming.

When King Ming received the news sent by Xiao Tiannan, he was playing chess with his Shangshu Ling Fang Songbai in the Haori Palace.

King Ming put aside the letterhead in his hand, and he asked Fang Songbai with a smile: "What does Mr. Fang think of Xiao Tiannan?"

"The king is talking about the commander-in-chief of the Dragon Slaying Banner, Xiao Tiannan, the new city lord of Agni City?"

"That's right. ”

"A rare talent, a hidden person. ”

"Oh?" King Ming was quite interested in Fang Songbai's evaluation, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Fang has never met Xiao Tiannan, how can he give such an evaluation?"

Fang Songbai said: "Back to the king, although his subordinates have never seen General Xiao, his subordinates have heard a lot about Xiao Tiannan's deeds.

Except for some exaggerated rumors, the content that His Majesty can be sure of is that General Xiao voluntarily joined the Dragon Slaying Banner, and as soon as he entered the Dragon Slaying Banner, he showed his strength to intimidate all the soldiers in the barracks.

Subsequently, General Xiao directly became the commander-in-chief of the Dragon Slaying Banner without a competition, and as soon as he took office, he personally led his troops to exterminate all the bandits in Qixia Mountain, and seized a large amount of wealth for the Dragon Slaying Banner. ”

"Yes, these are facts.

After Xiao Tiannan led the troops to exterminate all the bandits in Qixia Mountain, the people on the side of the army looked red and wanted to get a piece of the pie.

Lu Qianfan was also confused, and even sent a battalion of soldiers and horses of the Purple Lion Cavalry Regiment to force Xiao Tiannan to hand over the capture.

As a result, they couldn't even enter the barracks, and died directly in the trap outside the barracks.

Lu Qianfan, a fool, was also ruthlessly blackmailed by Long Yanting, the overseer of the Dragon Slaying Banner. ”

King Ming was a little unhappy when he talked about this, Lu Qianfan was one of his favorite confidants before, but he suffered many losses after encountering the Dragon Slaying Banner, which undoubtedly slapped King Ming in the face.

For this reason, King Ming could only pretend not to know about this matter, otherwise Lu Qianfan would no longer have a place in the lion army.

Fang Songbai glanced at King Ming and said with a smile: "The king doesn't have to be angry.

General Lu has repeatedly lost on the side of the Dragon Slaying Banner, and this does not all depend on General Lu, but the strength of the opponent is too much higher than General Lu. ”

"Your Majesty, you may not know that the bandits in Qixia Mountain are not all unknowns.

There is a black wind village in it, and the owner of the village is called 'Black Devil'.

This person has a sixth-level cultivation of the Holy Rank, and his subordinates have always suspected that he is a secret son planted by King Nioh in Qixia Mountain.

If one day we do confront Nioh, maybe the bandits of Qixia Mountain will immediately turn into an army and take us by surprise behind our lion army.

However, this person was killed by Xiao Tiannan in just one face, which shows that Xiao Tiannan's true cultivation is unfathomable. ”

Regarding this point, Xiao Tiannan explained to this king. ”

King Ming then told Fang Songbai about Xiao Tiannan's adventure of being able to be the true body of the Moon Shadow Tree King, and Fang Songbai shook his head after hearing it and said, "Your Majesty, this Xiao Tiannan still has something to hide from you.

His ability was not just a brief burst of the strength of the ninth rank peak of the Holy Rank.

I sent someone to check carefully, Xiao Tiannan is still a second-grade inscription master, and the elemental runes that can be engraved are very cumbersome, and the quality is also quite good.

You are also an inscriptionist, and you should be well aware that an inscriptionist is an advanced class for a rune master.

A person who has not yet condensed the natal talisman cannot be regarded as a divine rune master at all, but why can he be an inscription master?"

King Ming heard Fang Songbai say this, and his brows finally began to wrinkle.

He nodded thoughtfully, and then smiled: "Interesting, speaking of which, this Xiao Tiannan is really getting more and more interesting." ”

"Your Majesty, it's much more than that.

It is said that Xiao Tiannan also created his own cultivation technique called "Human Weapons", and it is precisely because of this technique that almost all the soldiers in the Dragon Slaying Banner are saint-level cultivators.

This is not something that a person who came to the Holy Realm by chance from the Mortal Realm and only cultivated in the Heavenly Dao Rune Sect for a few days can do.

That's why His Majesty said that this General Xiao was deeply hidden. ”

When Fang Songbai said this, King Ming couldn't help laughing, he shook his head and said, "Where is this hidden?

Otherwise, he would not have shown his cultivation everywhere, and he would have spread his self-created cultivation techniques throughout the Dragon Slaying Banner. ”

"No, no, no......" Fang Songbai kept shaking his head, "Your Majesty and the King have different opinions.

In the eyes of his subordinates, the way for a smart person to really hide is not to show his strength at all.

But he obviously has a hundred points of strength, but he only shows ten points of strength.

In this way, people will think that the ten strength he shows is all he has.

As everyone knows, he hasn't contributed at all. ”

If Xiao Tiannan heard Fang Songbai's words here, he would definitely not help but sigh: "This old man can, even if he doesn't stick to his hair, he seems to be better than a monkey." ”

After King Ming listened to Fang Songbai's analysis, the whole person fell into contemplation.

After thinking about it, he asked, "Mr. Fang thinks, is this Xiao Tiannan reliable?"

Fang Songbai shook his head and said, "If you go back to the king, your subordinates don't dare to make a conclusion on this issue.

However, judging from the current situation, there is no doubt that General Xiao deliberately joined the Dragon Slaying Banner.

A capable person like him is willing to join the Dragon Slaying Banner as an ordinary soldier.

Either he is confident enough to think that he will definitely get ahead with his own strength.

Either he is like a meteor at the Polar Daygate, a man sent by others to lurk around the king.

However, judging from the information that his subordinates have so far, Xiao Tiannan does not look like someone else sent to lurk beside the king.

As for whether it can be trusted or not, this point will have to be observed slowly. ”

After Fang Songbai finished speaking, he pondered for a moment and then added: "However, it is necessary for Your Majesty to remind the king that General Xiao is now the city lord of Agni City, and the army in the city respects him like a god.

At this moment, when he entered the Heavenly Domain, presumably the King of Benevolence, the Mad King, and even the Holy King would not let go of this opportunity, and most of them would try to win him over.

His Majesty thought that it was necessary for the king to show favor to General Xiao, so that General Xiao could be loyal to the king with all his heart. ”

"Kindness?" King Ming thought for a while, and after a while, he smiled faintly and said, "This king knows what to do, so continue to play chess." ”

When King Ming, King Ren, and King Mad were talking about Xiao Tiannan, Xiao Tiannan and they had already entered Tianshui City.

Tianshui City is the first city after entering the Heavenly Domain from Lintian North City.

After Tianshui City, there are Jiangyu City, Wuhe City, Chiyi City, Lingchang City and Dingyun City.

Dingyun City is the city where the Holy Rune Hall is located, and the Long family from Long Yan Pavilion is also in this city.

I hadn't heard Long Yanting talk about it before, so Xiao Tiannan didn't know much about it.

It turned out that Long Yanting's father turned out to be Long Zhengxing, the city lord of Dingyun City, and the Long family's power in Dingyun City was by no means small.

In addition, the Long family is also a hereditary viscount, and he is one of the famous nobles of the Holy Dynasty.

After all, there are many nobles in the Holy Dynasty, but there are really few who hold real power like the Long family.

Dingyun City is next to King Ming's city, so even if Dingyun City is not the territory of King Ming, everything in Dingyun City is actually under the control of King Ming.

Even the Holy Rune Hall is one of the most supportive forces of the Ming King among the five halls and seventy-two sects.

This is also why Long Yanting would work for King Ming, and why he dared to blackmail Lu Qianfan.

Along the way, Long Yanting also told Xiao Tiannan about the specific situation of his family.

Long Yanting's father had a total of nine wives, but the only ones who had children for him were his wife Long Qi and Long Yanting's mother Long Yan.

Long Yanting's mother was originally the dowry girl of the third lady of the Long family, and after giving birth to Long Yanting for Long Zhengxing, she was immediately accepted by Long Zhengxing as the fifth concubine.

Because of the concubine's sake, Long Yanting basically did not get any cultivation in the Long family.

Fortunately, Long Zhengxing will still give them the mother and son with the money, so that they will not be as miserable as Xiao Tiannan's impostor Ye Chen, who has to sleep in the stable with his mother.

Long Yanting used to be dissatisfied with his father Long Zhengxing's preference for the eldest brother, second brother, third brother and fifth sister, so he drank and had fun all day long, gambling and making trouble.

Even Long Yanting carried Long Zhengxing behind his back and lost an old mansion where the Long family didn't live anymore.

For this reason, Long Zhengxing expelled Long Yanting from the house, and he has not been allowed to go back to visit his mother all these years.

Long Yanting is now the chief official of Agni City, and he has just made great contributions to King Ming with Xiao Tiannan, so he took Xiao Tiannan back to the Long family together.

Otherwise, Long Yanting estimated that he would be expelled from the house by his father.

After Xiao Tiannan listened to Long Yanting's story, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Actually, if you think about it carefully, you are also quite a bastard.

Although your father gave all the high-quality resources to your brothers and sisters, he didn't care about you at all.

You give up on yourself, maybe your father doesn't necessarily care much, but your mother is probably not sad for a while. ”

Long Yanting nodded and said, "I know, it's just that I was young and frivolous and ignorant at the beginning, so I did so many foolish things."

The reason why I want you to accompany me back to the Long family this time is to see how my mother is doing.

If she is doing well, then I will naturally rest assured.

If she is having a bad time, I hope to be able to take her out of the Long family. ”

Xiao Tiannan nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will fully support you."

But don't take it for granted, whether your aunt is willing to come out of the Long family is also a question that needs to be considered. ”

"Well, I understand. Long Yanting nodded.
