Chapter 336: Pressing Forward
Although the ancient humans lived in a corner and did not have the heart to compete for hegemony, they were not soft persimmons that were easy to pinch. Therefore, to destroy the ancient human race, the Luo Tian clan also spent a lot of effort to achieve this.
The collapse of any behemoth will last forever and go through a long time of baptism.
Under the control of the Luo Tian clan, the ancient humans became the public enemies of all races in the Western Realm, and after a steady stream of wars like an ocean, they finally brought down this giant thing.
Then the Luo Tian clan sent a third-step powerhouse to decide the outcome with one blow. The ancients were completely reduced to ashes and disappeared from ashes.
Even the ancient human race has been included in the Luo Tian clan as one of the key monitoring objects, and every once in a while, someone will come down from the outer regions to check the current situation of the human race.
If there is a powerful person in the human race, they will bring that person under their control. Unless you join the Luo Tian clan and are controlled by them, you will be killed on the spot, which is the consequence of defeat, and this is the consequence of the weak.
Of course, at this time, Zhao Ting didn't know that the envoys of the Luo Tian clan had begun to slowly go to the Ancestral Star from the Star Boundary, preparing to come to the Ancestral Star to canonize their human race.
The reputation of canonization is actually to see that the vitality of the human race has recovered a little, for fear that the human race will get out of their control, and then rekindle the flames of war, intending to take revenge on their Luo Tian clan.
I have to say that as the strongest race in the universe and the mastermind behind the destruction of countless races, the Luo Tian clan can think of so much, worthy of his own strength.
The Imperial Court of the Hidden Capital.
The resplendent Imperial Study.
Xiao Che was sitting upright on the dragon chair, holding a red pen in his hand and quickly reviewing the folds handed by the following departments, and the two pretty palace ladies standing on the side fanned slowly and leisurely, and the fragrance of red sandalwood spit out from the incense burner gradually became stronger.
After reading it like this for about half an hour, Xiao Che rubbed his eyebrows and stood up with some headaches.
In the past, when I was the prince, I always felt that it was good to be the emperor, but now that I am the emperor, many things are not as free and chic as when I was the prince.
Even if you want to do it, you can only do it in secret, and you can't play a scoundrel in the open.
The people in the six departments at the bottom also took him seriously, and all of them gave him problems one by one.
"Your Majesty, finish the lotus soup. ”
The black-clothed old eunuch on the side saw Zhao Ting put down the red pen in his hand, and immediately walked over with a white porcelain bowl and handed the soup to Xiao Che.
Xiao Che was upset in his heart, took the small white bowl and drank it one by one.
I only heard the black-clothed old eunuch say again: "By the way, Your Majesty, after receiving the secret letter from the Jinzhou School Affairs Station, two strange people have appeared in Jinzhou, they are dressed as ancient monks, and they look at ordinary humans and ominous eyes like they are looking at monkeys, and from time to time they ask what strong people are in our Wu Dynasty, and ask about the cultivation realm of the national teacher." ”
The school desk felt that these two people were acting strangely and seemed to have another purpose, so they didn't dare to be careless, and rushed back the news overnight. ”
Listening to the words of the old eunuch in black, Xiao Che frowned.
Ask about the cultivation realm of the national teacher?
What do these two strange people want to do?
Zu Xing has not been calm for a long time, is this rare tranquility about to be broken again?
He thought for a while, drank the lotus soup in his hand, and said: "The school desk has done a good job in this matter, send them an order, let them send more people, and be sure to keep those two weirdos in my eyes! At the same time, he immediately sent someone to inform the national teacher and tell him about this matter." ”
"Yes. The old eunuch in black nodded and turned away.
Watching his figure disappear, Xiao Che's brows furrowed even tighter.
These two weirdos asked Zhao Ting for personal information, did they want to do something unfavorable? Do you want to take action first and arrest them for interrogation?
The thought drifted through Xiao Che's mind.
At this moment, a small voice suddenly remembered in his ears.
"Your Majesty, Wechen asks to see you. ”
It was Zhao Ting's voice.
Xiao Che's expression moved, since the last time he tasted tea with Zhao Ting, it was two months ago, but he didn't expect Zhao Ting to come so quickly and so coincidentally at this time.
In fact, this is not the case, although the school desk is the power of the Wu Dynasty and is very loyal, but they also have many followers of Zhao Ting, after learning that there are two strange people in ancient costumes who are frantically looking for Zhao Ting, these people from the school desk also passed through Zhao Ting while informing Xiao Che.
This is also the reason why Zhao Ting came out to look for Xiao Che at this critical juncture.
After Zhao Ting's voice was like a breeze, after a moment, his figure slowly appeared under the main hall.
He bowed slightly to Xiao Che and said, "Your Majesty, I'm here." ”
Xiao Che smiled and said, "You came quite quickly." ”
As he spoke, he pushed the things on the table in front of him, sat cross-legged on the dragon chair, and said, "Come, accompany me for a while!"
Zhao Ting didn't shirk, smiled slightly, and sat opposite Xiao Che.
The two of them looked calm and calm, and they started the game with black and white chess in their hands, of course, not just for the sake of the game, but mainly to calm down through the game, and at the same time discuss some important matters.
"The people at the school desk said that there are two feather-clad and star-crowned costume weirdos who are looking for you in the land of Jinzhou," Xiao Che snapped, and then laughed out loud: "What do you think of these two costume weirdos, the national teacher?"
Zhao Ting asked, "People from the gods and demons?"
Xiao Che shook his head and said, "Most likely, it's not, we've killed a lot of people from the gods and demons these days, and it's not their outfit at all." Moreover, the actions and practices of these two people are completely different from those of the gods and demons, and they obviously came out of nowhere. ”
"Could it be that in addition to the gods and demons, there are other races that have entered the ancestral star and want to compete for territory?"
Zhao Ting took the white chess piece and said lightly: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, Your Majesty can rest assured." ”
Xiao Che smiled and raised his eyebrows: "It's not that I'm afraid of them, I'm thinking about whether to order the Demon Slayer Army to arrest these two people and send them to the hands of the national teacher." Aren't they looking for you?"
The corners of Zhao Ting's mouth twitched, and he said: "Your Majesty must not act rashly, at present, we do not know whether these two people are hostile to our human race, if they arrest people indiscriminately, it is very likely to cause unnecessary misunderstandings." ”
"Of course, if these two people really have bad intentions, it will not be too late to take them down by thunder when the time comes. ”
Xiao Che nodded, agreeing with him.
The two played a slow game, and after more than half an hour, the winner was finally determined in one game.
Zhao Ting fell the last piece, the general trend on the chessboard has been achieved, he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you lost, your mind is not on playing chess, how to win Weichen?"
Xiao Che spread his hands, pushed the chessboard, and rolled his eyes: "Losing is losing, the national teacher doesn't have to find a reason for me, it's because my chess skills are too poor." ”
Seeing that the chess game between the two was settled, the black-clothed old eunuch on the side walked over slowly, saluted Xiao Che and Zhao Ting, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the national teacher, the spirit clan's Lord Bai Yun has a spirit pigeon biography. ”
Xiao Che and Zhao Ting glanced at each other, and he said, "Read." ”
The old eunuch in black took out the letter from his sleeve and read it slowly.
The letter roughly said that two strange people in ancient costumes found the Jinzhou branch of their Spirit Clan Alliance and asked about Zhao Ting's life and deeds, and where to find Zhao Ting.
Seeing that these two strange men in ancient costumes did not seem to show hostility, those people from the Spirit Clan branch told them the location of Zhao Ting's cultivation.
Of course, this is not that they deliberately leaked secrets, because Zhao Tingqian's cultivation place is actually full of people who are willing to inquire as long as they are willing to inquire, and it is not a real secret at all.
However, Zhao Ting's related deeds have been passed on by word of mouth in the mouths of those spirit clans, and now the gods are like myths.
If it's an outsider who doesn't know him, I'm sure I'll be stunned when I hear it.
After inquiring about Zhao Ting's life and deeds, the two strange men in ancient costumes asked about the Wu Dynasty and some other matters of the human race, and left without deliberately embarrassing those spirit races.
According to the news from the school desk all the way, after these two strange people left Jinzhou, they seemed to be walking all the way down Youzhou, and it seemed that they were about to enter the imperial capital.
Xiao Che frowned and said, "These two people are obviously coming for you, the national teacher, do you want to send someone to meet them first?"
"No," Zhao Ting shook his head and looked into the distance, "they're already here." ”
As he spoke, two black figures had already appeared in the sky, with a speed like meteors, and they arrived in front of the two of them in just an instant.
His Highness's Praetorian Guards drew their swords one after another and shouted, "Bold!"
What's more, he directly swung his knife forward.
Look at the two figures that suddenly appeared, they are the weirdos in ancient costumes mentioned in the mouths of those on the school desk.
One of the men was dressed in a high-crowned robe, his sword eyebrows flying obliquely into his temples, and his ice-blue pupils had a strange sense of bewitchment.
The other man was dressed in the same way and looked unremarkable.
The two of them stood like this, but they seemed to be in a high position for a long time, or rather above everyone's heads.
They looked at the group of guards below, the old eunuchs in black, and Xiao Che's gaze, and slowly they were all contemptuous and eccentric.
It seems that watching a group of monkeys at the zoo is like the monkeys actually wearing clothes and deliberately learning to talk and smoke as humans.
Zhao Ting knew just by seeing their gaze that these two people did not regard them as beings of the same level, and they didn't even treat them as human beings.
Even if the cultivation of these two people is not high.
One didn't seem to have set foot in the realm of the Demon Lord, and the other ...... Just stepped into the realm of the Demon Lord.
But on the contrary, these two people just have a strange arrogance.
Seeing that the group of guards dared to swing their swords to attack, the man in ancient costume with sword eyebrows snorted coldly in disdain, and waved his hand lightly, and a skillful force instantly turned the guards on their backs.
This scene suddenly made Xiao Che's face gloomy.
Zhao Ting was silent for a moment, persuaded him, and said, "What are the intentions of the two of you to trespass into the palace and injure the palace guards?"
The unremarkable-looking man in ancient costume suddenly turned his head to look at him, and said coldly, "Your name is Zhao Ting?"
Zhao Ting's face sank, and he said, "It's Zhao." ”
The strength of this ordinary man in ancient costume has not yet reached the realm of the demon lord, and his tone is actually bigger than the powerful tone of the demon clan who are about to reach the peak realm of the demon lord, which really makes Zhao Ting a little unhappy.
But seeing that this person was so arrogant, Zhao Ting was afraid that he would have something to rely on, so he held back his anger and finally asked this person's background to understand before speaking.
The man in the sword-eyed costume was a calm person, he glanced at Zhao Ting with a smile, and said, "If you don't want to destroy this palace, just go with the two of us." ”
Xiao Che was furious, the two people in front of him were so arrogant, threatening the national teacher in front of him, and saying that they would destroy his palace, it was just nonsense!
Is it tolerable or unbearable, he was about to pull out his gun immediately, but Zhao Ting pulled his sleeve: "Wait a little longer, I'll go back when I go." ”
Zhao Ting glanced deeply at the two people in front of him, and in his heart he had already sentenced them to death, and after the two of them said the purpose of looking for him, he would send the two people on their way.
The three of them flew all the way to the top of the clouds.
After passing through the layers of cloud barriers, until a height that was difficult to see with the naked eye, the two strange men in ancient costumes in front of them finally stopped.
The unremarkable-looking man in ancient costume turned around and glanced at Zhao Ting, his look of disdain was not concealed at all.
He threw out a brown pill covered with strange patterns with his backhand, and said coldly and arrogantly: "We are from the Luo Tian Clan, and we are responsible for supervising all living beings in the universe. After eating it, you will be the spokesperson of our Luo Tian clan in the Western Realm. ”
Zhao Ting: "?"
Not to mention that this weird brown pill is full of gloomy aura, it doesn't look like a good thing, even if it is a real Nine Turns Golden Pill, he doesn't dare to eat it if he takes it out so easily!
Who knows what's in there?
Zhao Ting wrapped this brown pill with divine power, and said with a smile: "I haven't heard of any Luo Tian Clan, are you joking?"
"You!" The ordinary man in ancient costume was suddenly furious, and his anger filled his chest, "Vertical Zi'an dares to insult my Luo Tian clan?"
The sword-eyed man glanced at him and said, "Don't be impatient." ”
Then he looked at Zhao Ting again, and said in a flat voice: "Your cultivation has reached such a state, you must have heard of the deeds of your human race's ancestors, the ancient human race, right? ”
This is actually a bit exaggerated, although the Luo Tian Clan is very strong, and they can be called the overlord in the vast universe starry sky, but if they want to defeat the ancient human race head-on, instead of playing some conspiracy tricks, even if they can succeed, I am afraid that their vitality will be greatly damaged.
When Zhao Ting heard this, he was shocked in his heart, but he didn't show a trace on the surface.
He never thought that the two people in front of him would have such a big background and destroy the race of the ancient human race?
How powerful the ancient human race was at the beginning, Zhao Ting already knew in his heart as he got deeper and deeper in contact with them.
They have stood at the pinnacle of this starry sky, and their abilities have reached an unbelievable level.
And the two people in front of them actually said that it was their race that destroyed the ancient human race!
