Chapter 32: Undercurrents
In the palace, the princess's courtyard Xiangmeng Garden, Lin Xianxue stood in a pavilion, standing with her hands facing the sky.
Yun Mengyao sat on the stone bench in the pavilion with a blank expression, but she didn't know what she was thinking.
It was a cloudy day again, dark gray clouds, gray sky. Just like the hearts of two people in the gazebo.
"Eight-bar Daoist, eight-bar Daoist, what a fast ...... this" Lin Xianxue muttered to herself at the gray cloud sky.
"But what does this have to do with children, I'm still me. Even if I don't have children, I will be confident that I will break through to the eight-bar Taoist master within two years. Yun Mengyao said lightly.
The two of them stopped talking, and after a long time, the sky became darker, and before they knew it, rain fell in the sky.
The sound of rain broke the silence, and as the rain fell, Lin Xianxue turned to Yun Mengyao and said, "Give birth, even if this child is not a genius, it must not be simple." ”
"But Master, I don't want this child at all. ”
"You are obedient, since you became pregnant, you have cultivated for thousands of miles a day, and in a short period of time, you have gone from a four-bar Taoist to an eight-bar Taoist master, how many secrets are there in this, if you don't give birth..."
"Master, please respect my decision. Yun Mengyao interrupted Lin Xianxue's words with a firm attitude.
Since that night when Ling Tianxiao hurt Yun Mengyao in indescribable ways, Yun Mengyao has already made a breakthrough, and since she was pregnant, her breakthrough has been even faster, and every time she cultivates, she has unexpected effects, which also shocked Lin Xianxue, so she thought that maybe it was related to the child, which is why she had the proposal to give birth to the child.
But Yun Mengyao didn't think so, she hated Ling Tianxiao in her heart, if it weren't for the impact on her future cultivation path, she would have wanted to beat the child out immediately.
"What if you kill Ling Tianxiao? You can't give birth to a child? If you go back to the Western Pole with me, no one will know about this matter. Lin Xianxue continued to persuade.
"Master, I don't want that brute child. Yun Mengyao's eyes were dull, and she said lightly.
"It's not your child... Hey..."Lin Xianxue sighed, and the two of them stopped talking.
......
In the palace, in the emperor's imperial study, a masked man in black was bowing down to the emperor with a dragon robe and a golden crown, and his posture was tall and magnificent: "The information is not wrong, Ling Tianxiao did not take medicine." This point was confirmed by Weichen personally, and he survived the three exams of the Emperor Ding Academy and obtained the qualification for the selection of top talents. ”
Emperor Yun Langsheng was silent when he heard this, holding a book in his hand and reading it carefully, and after a while, Yun Langsheng turned another page of the book and asked slowly: "This Wu San... What's going on?"
"Back to Your Majesty, as far as Weichen knows, Wusan was sent by the princess, as for the specific why, Weichen didn't dare to ask more. The man in black responded.
"The people from the Aoyun Empire have arrived?" Yun Langsheng didn't look at the man in black, his eyes fixed on the scroll in his hand, and asked lightly.
"Back to Your Majesty, I have arrived at the outskirts of the city. ”
The man in black replied, glanced at Yun Langsheng and asked cautiously, "Uh... Dare to ask Your Majesty, the Aoyun Empire has proposed an exchange program for the first time in history, and the person who came is still a prince, Weichen wants them to come this time, the purpose must be impure, this Ling family..."
"Now that there are the Long family and the Andre family in the court, it is enough to check and balance each other, and the Ling family has long lost its use value. As long as the people of the Aoyun Empire are not too excessive and hurt the face of the empire, then turn a blind eye. Yun Langsheng interrupted the man in black and said lightly.
"Yes, Wechen knows what to do. ”
"Is there any verification of Mu Jingtang's identity?" Yun Langsheng then asked.
For the outstanding freshmen of each session of the Emperor Academy, Yun Langsheng pays special attention, after all, the governance and development of the empire in the future depends on these talents.
"Back to Your Majesty, it is true that this Mu Jingtang is from Longxi City, but he is not originally from Longxi City. ”
"Oh, what do you mean by that?"
"This son was fostered in the Mu family in Longxi City seventeen years ago, as for who his parents are and where they come from, Weichen is still verifying. ”
"Okay, although Zhou You is a country boy that time, he can open the fire of the dantian at a young age, so you have to be a lot of friends. ”
After speaking, Yun Langsheng closed his eyes when he heard this, only waved his hand, and the man in black got up and retreated, leaving Yun Langsheng alone in the imperial study, frowning and not knowing what he was thinking.
...
On the outskirts of Dragon's Tooth City, a convoy of horsemen was feeding the horses, and along the convoy, there were guards with spears on both sides.
At the forefront of the convoy, on a boulder on the outskirts of the city, a young man in a gorgeous brocade robe, a jasper crown on his head, and a heroic looking young man was sitting and resting.
And beside the young man stood an old man in a bright white robe. I saw that the old man had white hair, his head was in a bun, his right hand was holding the dust, and his left hand was holding two quail egg-sized cyan pills back and forth.
"Ning'er, there is Dragon Tooth City in front of you, do you need to transfer to the Emperor Ding Academy of Weilong City for the teacher to help you explore the way?" the old man asked first.
"No need, then Emperor Ding Academy will report before the selection of top students. In addition to coming to explore the reality of the young generation of the Panlong Empire as an exchange student, this trip also has two more important tasks. That Yun Langsheng must have known that the master was coming with me, if the master didn't go, it would be easier for people to be suspicious. The young man replied lightly.
The old man smiled and said, "Ning Er is thoughtful, it seems that in the future, the position of the emperor of the Aoyun Empire will be yours, and there is nothing to do with the second prince." ”
"Let's talk about these things later, the most important thing at the moment is to pull the Ling family off the horse to avenge the eldest brother, I heard that the Ling family has a gentleman, a waste who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, let's start with him first." ”
The young man smiled fiercely as he spoke, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
This young man is not someone else, it is the third prince of the Aoyun Empire, Ao Ning, his brother Ao Feng was killed by the Ling family army in the past Cloud Storm War, this matter is not only Ao Ning, but even the emperor of the Ao Yun Empire, Ao Tian.
"In order to avoid conflicts with the Panlong Empire, this matter should be carried out in secret, Shizun will go with me, and by the way, I will go to explore the reality of the Ling family. Aoning said lightly.
The old man nodded, looking at Ao Ning with a look of relief.
If it is said that there is a grudge against the Ling family, this old man, who is one of the five sects, also has a grudge against the Ling family, and this revenge is the revenge of the murderer.
As early as the time of the Cloud Storm War, Aofeng was already his apprentice when the eldest prince of the Aoyun Empire was already his apprentice, and he treated Aofeng as his own and taught him carefully, but he died at the hands of the Ling family.
In order to take care of the balance between these empires, he endured it for a chance, a chance for revenge.
So he took Ao Ning, the younger brother of Aofeng's compatriot, as an apprentice, and continued to stay in the Aoyun Empire, hoping to find an opportunity one day.
Right now, the Ling family has already sunset, and it is naturally of no use value to the Panlong Empire, in addition to seeing the Ling family's own strength, this time I also came to explore the tone of Yun Langsheng.
It is said that it is quite simple for a strong man ranked among the five sects to seek revenge on the Ling family, but the main force of the Panlong Empire's army is mainly the Ling family's army, and he is not the only one in the worldly five sects, so he has endured until now for the sake of the overall situation, and it is naturally best if he can take revenge without harming the harmony between the two countries.
After a long time, Aoning jumped off the boulder and shouted to the convoy: "Enough rest, enter the city!"
