Zhong Jihuang sat on the throne, looking a little tired.

He was carrying an ancient book in his drooping hand, which was about to fall to the ground, and someone came to report it, so he woke up again, cheered up, and said, "Is the prince here?"

"Yes. ”

"Let him in. ”

Zhong Jihuang put the ancient book on the table, and at this time, the crown prince Zhong Limu walked in: "The son and the emperor see the emperor!"

"Get up, you have a wound, don't bother. Zhong Jihuang said: "How is Li Huachen?"

"I've said everything I need to say. ”

"Hehe, what is he more interested in?"

"They're all interested, and they're not interested. ”

"Oh?" Zhong Jihuang seemed to be a little surprised: "I underestimated him." ”

The prince nodded: "When I went, he and Leng Xing Soul were talking. ”

"You say that, their conversation must be interesting?"

"Yes. The prince wanted to laugh a little: "Li Huachen seems to have the intention of retreating, this battle made him feel cowardly, it seems that he doesn't want to get involved in the next storm, and wants to give the artifact of the door to Leng Xing Soul, but Leng Xing Soul actually refused." ”

"Hehe, good show. The artifact that people all over the world are eager for, but they push each other up, I'm afraid they deliberately played it for you, right?"

The prince shook his head: "I don't think Li Huachen is acting, he really doesn't want to cause trouble." ”

"He has been taken by the South Pole since he was a child, and he has never enjoyed the glory and wealth, and now he has become the Ninth Highness of the Northern Warring States, and has been repeatedly murdered by his own brothers, will he have no ambition?"

"Father is still suspicious of him?"

"Why don't you doubt it?" Zhong Jihuang said: "Everything is too coincidental, everything is too appropriate, just right, impartial." If they appeared a minute late, the situation would be completely different, and if the Cold Star Soul appeared ten seconds later, it would be a completely different result. It's just that he is the disciple of the five old men, His Royal Highness the Ninth of the Northern Warring States, who led a group of teenagers to rescue the driver, and saved you with seamless tactics. Do you believe in coincidences?"

"There are often a lot of things on the rivers and lakes, and there are often coincidental things. ”

"But if it's not a coincidence, things are in trouble. ”

"Father Emperor is saying that the failure of the Black Emperor's action this time is also part of the plan. They deliberately sent people to arrest me, and they arranged for someone to save me. The purpose is to give them the trust to be able to take the artifact from us?"

Zhong Jihuang sighed: "I really want to believe them, but I can't believe them." The stakes are too big to be guarded against. Is he interested in the Celestial Bow?"

"Very interested. ”

"Didn't you want to excuse yourself before? hehe, this little slippery head. ”

The crown prince shook his head: "He shirked the artifact because he wanted to launch the responsibility, the burden, and the trouble." He had an idea for the Celestial Bow and was obsessed with artifact integration, and I could tell that he wanted to make the Divine Warframe the perfect set. But there was no desire to possess in his eyes. ”

If that were the case, it would be difficult for this young man to live long. But if he lives long enough, such courage and pattern will be limitless in the future. Zhong Jihuang said.

"Father...... Are you really going to release the artifact?"

Zhong Jihuang sighed: "Times have changed. In the past, the five elders would discuss with me first what they did, but now, they inherit the artifact, and no one reports to me. Unleash the artifact...... I can't predict what the outcome will be. ”

"You can't trust the five old men?"

Zhong Jihuang looked at the prince: "On the contrary, they are the ones I trust the most, they are the kind of people who can't be bought, and they have a close relationship with me for decades." Even if someone wanted to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace, they would definitely come to suppress it quickly. The current pattern of rivers and lakes is the result of the hard work of their generation, and they will not want to change it, nor will they allow others to change it. I can't believe it, it's the young people. ”

Zhong Jihuang said: "I don't know about them, their inheritance is not recommended and approved by me, they have not received any favor from me, they have no gratitude to me, to you, to the Zhong family, and they have no desire to repay." They will do things according to their own ideas, not according to the ideas of the Zhong family. ”

"But don't the five old men also do what they think?"

"Why don't you understand?" Zhong Jihuang was a little irritable: "I owe the five old men a favor, but the five old men also owe me a favor, we have a friendship and have the same interests, so the alliance can't move." Even if there is a stumble, it will not hurt the bones, for example, I am not afraid of occasionally offending Antarctica, because I know that he will die on my ship, and he has no choice. So that our relationship is resilient. And you are different, if I am gone in the future, how much friendship do you have with them? Now they don't owe you any favors, but you owe them a life! If they really get the artifact, will they still listen to your command when the time comes? ...... When you want to get the artifact back, can you get it back? If you quarrel with one of them and make a move, it may provoke their rebellion. Can you control the new generation of the Five?

The crown prince looked at Zhong Jihuang: "I give them the title of the top ten newcomers and give them artifacts, isn't it kindness?"

Zhong Jihuang shook his head: "Passive." Now you give them titles, which is regarded as repaying gratitude, giving them artifacts, and looking for them to do things, the situation is different. ”

The prince thought for a while: "I think that Li Huachen seems to be the core between them, and if Li Huachen is done, everyone should be done." ”

"Herein lies the problem. Zhong Jihuang said: "If Li Huachen is really the core and will be the core in the future, what use do you need?"

"I still have ten more, there are still bad games, and there are five major war zones to send. Can't they check and balance each other and supervise each other?"

Zhong Jihuang smiled, stepped down from the throne, went all the way to the crown prince, and patted him on the shoulder: "In this world, no one can be more cohesive than you, understand......? These peak combat power must surround you, so that you can sit firmly in the country. ”

"Father, it's too early to say this at this time, right?"

Zhong Jihuang's eyes widened and said, "If you don't do it now, do you have to wait until I die?"

He gritted his teeth and said sonorously: "You have to establish your prestige now, you have to do things now, you have to leave an impression on everyone now, intimidate the princes of the Quartet, and shock the heroes of the world." In this way, after I die, your throne will sit firmly and in prison. If you are stable, the rivers and lakes will be stable, if you are stable, no one will covet the big position and open the bloody curtain, if you are stable, no one will fight, no one will rob, in order to truly have peace in the world and stability in all directions. ”

"Erchen knows. ”

"Although your momentum in this battle is not weak, but after all, you have escaped death, alas, your sharpness is damaged, and your sharpness is damaged. It is imperative that you salvage your reputation and fight a turnaround. ”

"But...... We don't know where the enemy is. ”

"So ....... Zhong Jihuang said: "You have to walk in front of the others, if you can find them and kill a master, the initiative will return to our side." ”

The crown prince thought for a while: "Father, I decided to give Li Huachen a door artifact, the scorching sun and heavenly bow." ”

Zhong Jihuang pondered for a long time: "It's too early, let's take a look." ”

The prince knelt down on one knee: "Erchen is willing to guarantee with his life, Li Huachen will definitely not be the dark stake of the Black Emperor." ”

Zhong Jihuang smiled bitterly: "My son, I doubt him, not only suspect that he is a secret pile, he may not be a secret pile, but will he have a connection with the Black Emperor? Could it be that he wants to use the Black Emperor to strengthen himself? He has been in the rivers and lakes for 20 years, and now his ambition is inflated, Taoguang is obscure, pretending to be harmless to people and animals, but in fact he is ambitious. When he is strong, will he want to replace you? Also, you are the crown prince, don't take your life as a gamble at every turn, I have criticized you many times for this problem. ”

"But, how can you fight against the Black Emperor like this?"

"Hmph. Zhong Jihuang turned around and walked back to sit firmly: "This is something that our generation thinks about, you just have to do what you should think about." I'm still alive, the five old men are still alive, and the Black Emperor can't turn the sky. The top ten can't be used, including Xiao B. ”

"Xiao Yi can't be used either?!" The prince said: "Ten is our strongest combat combination, and they don't need it?"

And so on. ”

"Wait...... What?"

"Wait for them to play their cards. ”

Li Huachen's injuries have healed a lot, but his breath is not smooth. The black war clouds interfered with him more than he thought.

The list of the top ten newcomers in the rivers and lakes has been released.

The Third Prince of Xiliang, Leng Xing Soul, the Water Ripple Swordsman Chen Xiaodao, the Cave Swordsman Jing Qiufeng, the Shanlan Swordsman Duan Fei, the Medicine Weng Disciple Ming Jinsheng, the Drunkard Disciple Wei Xiaochao, the Diaoyu Weng Disciple Ram Ge, the Antarctic Immortal Weng Disciple Li Huachen, the Bad Bad Rookie Ge Hongzhang, and the Bad Game Rookie Jiang Xin.

Someone sent Li Huachen a set of battle robes, a long sword, a jade pendant, and a reward letter.

The battle robe is black, embroidered with dark red patterns, beautiful and magnificent; the long sword is also an extremely delicate and superb divine weapon, slender and beautiful, simple and handsome; the jade pendant is snow-white and flawless, with the words "ten" on it, wearing this jade pendant, everywhere you go, it is majestic, and everywhere you go, all the sects in the rivers and lakes must give three points; there is a print of Zhong Jihuang on the reward letter, which makes it clear that Li Huachen has become one of the top ten newcomers of this session.

Li Huachen was quite happy, different from Leng Xing's indifference, Li Huachen's happiness was on his face. The ship was clothed, a sword was scarred, a jade pendant was hung around his waist, and a reward letter was carried in his arms.

"From now on, I don't think anyone will dare to talk to the two of me!" Li Huachen asked Leng Xingsoul proudly: "Second junior brother, do you see if I'm handsome?"

Leng Xing Soul smiled slightly: "This robe is naturally suitable for wearing on Senior Brother. ”

"You put it on and let me see it. ”

"I don't have to, I still ....... ”

"Oops, put it on. Li Huachen urged: "Why are you so boring? Not excited at all, put it on, let me see." ”

At this time, a voice said loudly: "Li Huachen, roll over." ”
