The sea and the sky, after being brave, turn your head and let the old heart smile sadly, indifferent people, thank you for looking down on me, let me not bow my head, and live more wonderfully......

Song Li suddenly remembered a song from his previous life, and he felt that this song must be very suitable for his mother's state of mind at this time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info After so many years, it's really hard for her.

Instead of laughing at his mother's childishness this time, he took the letterhead from her hand and roughly swept it. This is a handwritten letter from his grandfather, the Saint Dan Grandmaster Yun Hengtian, which means that Yun Lin is invited to take the Yun family's grandson Song Li to the Yun family to participate in the triennial clan competition, and the geniuses who win the top three will be rewarded by Yun Hengtian. The champion even has the right to pick any item as a prize in the Hidden Treasure Vault.

Saint Dan Grandmaster's treasure trove, there must be a lot of shocking good things, right? Song Li was slightly moved. In fact, even if there is no prize, he will definitely go back with his mother, without him, just to vent his anger for his mother and for himself. The prize is a little extra benefit.

"Look at this time, there is still half a month before the day of the clan competition, when will we leave?" Song Li said with a smile.

"Don't worry, if you take the flying beast, you will arrive in Yunzhou in two days, and it will not be too late to go again in a few days. Yun Lin knew that her son would agree to go back, and the mother and son had a heart-to-heart connection, so she was not surprised by her son's decision.

Song Li nodded, and the mother and son were about to say something else, when a spy voice came from outside the door: "The Holy Emperor has an edict, please accept the decree of the king of Lijun!"

The mother and son glanced at each other, it seemed that the Holy Emperor must have also heard the news of Song Li's mother and son's promotion, no, there was a reaction soon.

Yun Lin and Song Li went out together, only to see a young chamberlain standing in the courtyard, looking at them with a smile.

"Slave Xiao Anzi, please give Princess Ming and the king of Lijun. "Xiao Anzi is the confidant of the Holy Emperor, so he naturally knows that the honeymoon period between the Holy Emperor and the Ming Emperor's Mansion has ended, and the contradictions between the two sides have long been planted unconsciously. But it must not be shown on the surface. still showed enough respect for the people of the Ming Palace.

"No excuses, Father-in-law. Yun Lin smiled slightly and said, "What is the Holy Emperor's matter with my family Li'er?

Xiao Anzi shook his head and said: "There is no holy decree, the slave is passing on the oral message of the Holy Emperor, and the king of Xuanli County enters the palace to see him." The slave didn't dare to ask more about the specific matter, and the king of Lijun would know when he went. ”

Song Li smiled and said, "Father-in-law An is here in person, so let's leave now." ”

He instinctively felt that the Holy Emperor probably had some problem to solve with him, otherwise, when the old fox heard the news of his promotion, his head must be several times bigger than usual, and he would definitely not summon him. Who likes to have nothing to do with someone who gives them a headache?

The so-called soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, although Song Li knows that it should be no good for the Holy Emperor to find him. But there is no fear in my heart. He also wanted to see what tricks the old fox of the Holy Emperor wanted to play. When the time comes, it's time to see the move.

Half an hour later, Song Li appeared in the Heart Cultivation Palace.

When the Holy Emperor saw Song Li, he was even more excited than ever, walked out from behind the dragon case, patted Song Li on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Good boy! I have long felt that you are not a thing in the pool, but your growth speed still surprises me! Eighteen-year-old alchemy master, obediently! This is a groundbreaking feat! The empire has such a talent as you, why worry about the great cause!"

Song Xingtian is a person who is very deep in the city, he rarely shows any emotions in front of people, and because of this, his excitement and excitement at the moment, in Song Li's opinion, is a little too much. On the surface, he was happy for Song Li, but in fact, he was just trying to hide his true thoughts.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, Song Li won't be paralyzed by his acting skills. In any case, they are still allies at the moment, and there is still work to be done on the surface. Now is not the time to tear your face with the Holy Emperor.

"His Majesty the Holy Emperor is serious, the road of alchemy is long and endless, and Song Li is just a toddler beginner, not to mention any innovation, just a little luckier. Song Li smiled and looked at the Holy Emperor, and there was an imperceptible cold glow in the eyes of both of them that flashed away, and was quickly replaced by a smile.

Song Li's tone was polite and humble, in Song Xingtian's heart, this was a sign of alienation. At the very least, he used the title of "His Majesty the Holy Emperor" instead of "Uncle of the Holy Emperor", the difference between the two words, the intimacy between them, but they are not the same.

Song Xingtian has nothing to regret about this, Song Li is indeed a talent, if he is his own son, then it will be a blessing for the royal family and a blessing for Song Xingtian.

It's a pity that he is not a prince, but may become a nightmare for princes. In the past, the Holy Emperor felt that at least during his reign, he would still be able to suppress Song Li. But when he heard that Song Li had been promoted to an alchemy master in such a short period of time, his self-confidence was also shaken.

Song Li's growth speed is too fast, completely beyond Song Xingtian's expectations, the most terrifying thing is that you don't know where his limit is, and you don't know when he will suddenly improve again. Therefore, Song Xingtian felt that some actions could be deployed in advance. Otherwise, once Song Li resists the weathering dragon, he will no longer be able to hold it down!

Maybe Song Li and Ming Wangfu have no intention of rebelling at present, but when a person's position is high enough and his strength is strong enough, his mentality will most likely change. Just like the war dragon, at the beginning, he didn't want to be a soil emperor who divided one side, right? But when the conditions were ripe and he had enough ability, didn't his greed come out?

Human nature is greedy, the Holy Emperor is convinced of this saying. So he had to take precautions and cut down Song Li before he became a towering tree.

The Holy Emperor praised Song Li a few more words, and put forward prospects and blessings for his future, Song Li politely said a few words, and then said: "I don't know what His Majesty the Holy Emperor has to summon the ministers this time, what are your orders?"

Song Xingtian glanced at Song Li deeply, and said in his heart that this kid really came prepared. It seems that he has already guessed that it is not good for me to look for him, but what if he guesses, as a courtier, can you resist the decree?

"Have you heard of this person King Zhanlong of Jingnan?" The Holy Emperor was not prepared to go around the bend with Song Li, this kid had more eyes than honeycomb holes, and it was useless to play any tricks with him, but it was better to get straight to the point.

When the Holy Emperor said the name of the war dragon, Song Li knew what was going on. After all, he is also a descendant of the royal family, and he naturally understands the past and present life between the Holy Emperor and the Great General Wang Zhanlong.

The reason why the Holy Emperor was able to ascend the throne back then was due to the support of the military's No. 1 bull war dragon. After the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, he rewarded him for his meritorious deeds, and named Zhan Long as the title of King of Jingnan, and took charge of the three southern counties of the empire.

At the beginning, Zhan Long was still a duty, and the tribute was a lot, and the personnel arrangements of the imperial court were also fully accepted. But as his strength grew, so did his ambitions, first defaulting on the tribute for various reasons, paying less and less taxes, and finally not paying any of them at all. For the personnel arrangements of the imperial court, he started by pointing fingers, and then simply sent people to take office himself.

In his previous life, Song Li liked to read history and saw this very clearly. Man's ambition and greed are endless, and there will never be a day when they will be satisfied. The actions of the war dragon are almost the same as those vassal kings in the history of the previous life. Whether Zhan Long had the intention of rebelling, Song Li was not very clear. But one thing is clear, he must be happy to settle in the southern corner and be a free prince. He doesn't bother the court, and the court had better not bother him.

However, for a centralized and unified empire, this phenomenon of a state within a state is absolutely intolerable. Song Li knows the Holy Emperor very well, and he doesn't seem to have any temper, but his strength is in his bones, when Prince Zhong was strong in the past, he behaved very restrained, and it seemed as if he was forced by Prince Zhong to have no ability to parry, in fact, his vitality was not damaged. He paralyzed Prince Zhong with a superficial show of weakness, and then secretly waited for an opportunity. Later, when the power of Song Xinghai's family was discovered, he decisively activated them, and then launched a counterattack against Prince Zhong mercilessly.

He has the wisdom of a fox, is good at waiting and forbearance like a wolf, and when he launches an offensive, he is as fierce as a tiger!

Song Li saw it very clearly, with Song Xingtian's character, the final outcome of this matter must be to cut the domain, and the wishful thinking of the war dragon will definitely not work.

It's just that the war dragon is the first fierce general of the Holy Lion Dynasty who can fight well, and the soldiers under his command are wide and wide, and the Holy Emperor is not very sure. The best way is to trick the war dragon father and son into the imperial capital, and then find a reason to control it. It's just that the old boy of Zhan Long is not a vegetarian, no matter what reason the Holy Emperor uses, people just say "the general will not be affected by the life of the king outside", and you can only gasp for breath.

The situation of the war is changing rapidly, no matter how wise the Holy Emperor is, it is impossible to accurately judge the situation of the war thousands of miles away, people tell you that a certain small country has begun to provoke again, which battle has not yet been fought, as the commander, he can't pull away. Don't you believe in it? Even if you don't believe it, what can you do? With 500,000 troops to protect you, and a large number of strong men attached to you, you have nothing to do with him, whether it is light or dark.

Song Li knew that the Holy Emperor really had no choice, so he thought of him. After all, in the mission of capturing the Ugin Stone, he showed a super ability to solve difficulties. Since then, there has even been a saying among ministers: If you are in trouble, find Song Li. It can be seen how impressive his performance was to everyone.

"Is there anything about what they've been up to? I'd like to see it. "Song Li knew very well that the Holy Emperor didn't find him entirely because of his strong ability to do things, he must have other purposes, so he wanted to know more about the situation.

"Yes. This is important information collected by the spies lurking in the three southern counties, you can take a look. The Holy Emperor paid attention to Song Li's expression, and saw that there was nothing unusual about him, thinking that you kid was still a little tender, probably thinking that I really came to you to solve the problem.
