Volume 1 The Prequel to the Four Gates Chapter 23 The Prince's Secret Covenant
Qianfeng was still a little surprised after hearing this, according to the style of this prince, every time he sent a message, he asked for the four gates, either to fight and kill, or to threaten the powerful ministers in the court, and rarely made the four doors benefit. If he hadn't used it like this, the four gates, especially the Afterlife Gate, would not have had such a murderous reputation, but fortunately, with this support, the four doors would have lost a lot of trouble for a while, after all, the affairs of the government can be solved not only by fighting and killing.
Qianfeng bowed his waist and said, "The four princes, please speak, it is the glory of our people to share the worries of the princes."
"Uncle has seen the outside, I believe that my uncle has noticed it when he entered Kyoto, this time Kyoto has entered many sects, in fact, Kyoto is currently moving. Uncles, you may not know it when you first arrived, wait for me and the two uncles to talk about it in detail," the fourth prince said slowly, and there was some intriguing flavor in his tone.
"The grass people would like to hear the details," Qianfeng Lin Yu hurriedly responded.
"Recently, my battle with my eldest brother has become more and more serious. My eldest brother sometimes deliberately fights back against me now, so you uncles should know about it. ”
Lin Yu and Qianfeng didn't speak, and they still took a humble posture, after all, the affairs of the royal family were not something that their sect could interfere in. When the country was founded, they still knew about the first emperor's massacre of the Quartet sects, so how could they dare to comment on it above the royal family.
"It's me who broke my promise, don't blame your uncles" Seeing that the two of them were unwilling to speak on this matter, the four princes rolled their eyes and pretended to make a mistake.
"The grass people are willing to go to the work of dogs and horses for the four princes" Qianfeng broke this embarrassment in time and showed his loyalty to the four princes.
The fourth prince smiled slightly, his eyes drifted over the submerged wind forest language: "It's all for the affairs of the empire, your uncles are bothered" Gently put the teacup on the table, and the sound of quietly putting the cup sounded throughout the main hall, like a certain declaration of war signal, sounded in the hearts of everyone present.
"Here's the thing, uncles, this time you may need four disciples to make a move, this time there is no need to fight and kill, after all, our empire is a civilized country. In the previous court in the court, the prince had tried his best to guide the ministers to the emperor to propose to the emperor to use Wu Anbang, ten years ago in the battle, our empire sacrificed a lot, and the father and emperor were wise to exchange for today's peace, but now the outside is ready to move, but our empire has no more strong generals, and hundreds of thousands of armor soldiers are eager to have a good general appear. ”
When Lin Yu and Qianfeng heard this, their lowered heads and facial expressions changed, ten years ago, the four princes didn't know, they were the insiders, if it weren't for the emperor's mediocrity, why bother Dongmen would suffer from this catastrophe.
However, the fourth prince did not perceive the difference in emotions between the two, and looked outside the main hall and said, "The eldest brother suggested to my father that a big martial arts competition be held, and people with skilled martial arts cultivators should be selected from the entire empire to enter the imperial academy for cultivation and contribute to the empire in the future. Of course, this is a good thing, but the eldest brother has a close relationship with the Xuanqing Sect in our empire, and I think it seems that the four gates of the uncles can also go up and have a try, first, to let the empire re-understand the four gates, and secondly, it is also a good thing to win the ranking and enter the Imperial Academy, where the resources and training are not comparable to ordinary conditions. What do you think of the two uncles?"
Qianfeng looked down at Lin Yu, and it happened that Lin Yu was also looking at Qianfeng, the two looked at each other, and Qianfeng immediately said, "Thank you for the prince's kindness, Simen will definitely do his best"
"Then I'm waiting for the good news from your uncles, in addition, such a good thing to do my best for the empire, I will keep in mind the contribution of the four gates to the empire, this time, I specially prepared the best magic weapons for the four gates as a congratulatory gift. After speaking, he took out a sword carved with green plums from the empty bag and handed it to the hidden wind.
The four princes said nicely, in the final analysis, this is not a royal battle, the eldest prince wants to take the opportunity of the competition to infiltrate the military and cultivate his cronies, what about these four princes, both of them have their own scheming. Moreover, this competition is also a competition between the people of the clan, and the scattered cultivation does not have much resistance, and the four princes are afraid that they also want to take this opportunity to show something to the emperor.
Qianfeng took the sword in his hand, pretended to tremble and said, "Thank you for the four princes, it is an honor for the empire to have such pillars as the four princes."
And the four princes were happy to see that these two people agreed to participate in the competition, after all, the four gates are also their own cronies, and almost no one in the court knows that in this court, in addition to the eldest prince, he is rumored to be the prince in the near future, and he is extremely dissatisfied. Moreover, although the sword just given to him was precious, since his subordinates took it from the fairy, his several explorations were to no avail, so he simply gave it away, and he also gained a favor.
"For the sake of the empire, I must do my best, uncles smiled," the fourth prince said with a smile, seeing these two people boasting about themselves so much, and promising to participate in this big competition, this joy almost overflowed across the hall.
Then the three of them chatted for a while, and Qianfeng and the others took the initiative to withdraw and return to the inn.
"Big brother, what do you think of this?" Lin Yu said on the side
"I'm also thinking about it, this time we came to Kyoto to be all disciples of the Death Sect, and besides, the martial arts competition is half a month later, if we send the disciples of the Life Sect to play, we must first reveal the identity of the disciples, which means a masterpiece in their industry, I still feel that we should ask the disciples below. Qianfeng said after hesitating slightly.
Lin Yu was also thinking: "Big brother, but if it weren't for the disciples of the Afterlife Sect, the other disciples would not have time to dare to compete this time, there are currently some disciples in our four sects who have good talents, but after all, the cultivation day is still short, and there are not many people who can participate in this competition." ”
Both of them fell silent, both of them knew that although the growth momentum of the four gates had been very strong over the years, the key times had been to rely on the Afterlife Gate to make a move, especially the attack of the hidden wind, which had broken through to the legendary realm of immortal cultivation after an assassination operation several years earlier. As for the other three sects, Hua Ying and Mancheng can be said to have few opponents in the realm under the same cultivation path, but it is difficult to beat the peak level of the return period, and Lin Yu also dispersed his cultivation in an accident in the early years. The disciples of the disciples are currently the best in the development of the Sect of Death.
Both of them also know that although this competition is said to be a competition of forces within the empire, there will definitely be foreign forces mixed in, after all, such a large-scale competition between sects, there are still only a few among the various sects, and all the sects must also want to further understand the strength of their own sects and reposition themselves on the path of cultivation.
"Big brother, I feel that if someone has to really participate in the competition this time, then Xiangsheng seems to be better" Lin Yu broke the silence.
"I also have this point of view, but let's ask him, this kid has a bad temperament, and the moves he has learned over the years are all assassin techniques that kill him, and I can't make decisions for him, if he wants, give him this sword, I have tried it before, this should be an indigo-level magic weapon, I will test the Xuan Qi into it, but there is no response, and now even if it can exert the effect of a blue-level magic weapon, it is much better than the small magic weapon in his hand. Hidden Wind said slowly.
"Well, I'll call him over, let's ask him," Lin Yu echoed.
After a while, Yao Xiangsheng entered the house and said, "The master of the door is good, the master of the fourth door said that you are looking for me?"
"Xiangsheng, how are you doing in the city today?" said Qianfeng with concern.
"Sect Master, it's okay, it's more prosperous here than our sect, and there are more cultivators," Yao Xiangsheng replied.
"Xiangsheng, there are some things I want you to do inside the door, see if you are willing" Qianfeng smiled.
"I am willing to go to the sword mountain and the sea of fire for the master," Yao Xiangsheng bowed his head and said.
Qianfeng still likes this child a little, in the same batch, not to mention who has the best talent, just who is resilient and hardworking, this child is well-deserved first, with his own step-by-step efforts, he has become the undoubted first person in this sect, both prestige and strength are second to none among the same generation.
"Xiangsheng, he may make it impossible for you to be a killer of the Afterlife, willing?"
Yao Xiangsheng was slightly stunned after hearing this, and he hesitated for a moment for some reason, but he still looked at Qianfeng as always, "Everything is arranged by the door master"
Qianfeng looked at Yao Xiangsheng and appreciated it a little more: "Xiangsheng, that's the case, you should have heard that you went out with everyone today, Kyoto will organize a large-scale martial arts competition after half a month, and there will be people from all sects and factions at that time, you are the most important in this generation, I and several other sect masters, I want you to participate on behalf of the four gates, what do you think?"
"I have heard of it, and I would like to share my worries for the four gates. Yao Xiangsheng heard this, and secretly assured in his heart, as long as he could be in Simen, it would be a good thing for him, since the family ran away, Qianfeng brought him to Simen, and devoted himself to helping him practice, helping him take revenge, the entire Simen is his second home can also be said to be the first home, Qianfeng is more like his father, several door masters are his relatives, and this small young man has long been full of indelible feelings for Simen.
When Qianfeng Lin heard this, although the result had already been expected, he was still very pleased, and took the sword from the table and handed it to Yao Xiangsheng: "Xiangsheng, this sword is for you, remember, when you compete, you must not use the real sword unless you have to, this is a competition, you must not kill anyone, you are the only one in the four gates this time, and the other senior brothers will not come this time."
Yao Xiangsheng looked up at the submerged wind: "Yes, the door master" took the long sword and put it into the empty boundary bag in an instant.
Lin Yu also admired the young man's temperament, and took out a humanoid magic weapon from the empty boundary bag and gave it to the young man: "This is a small doppelganger magic weapon, if you feel force majeure, remember to inject some Xuan Qi here, it can help you keep the original spirit, we are in the audience, we can help you recover"
When Yao Xiangsheng saw this magic weapon, his eyes flickered, and he accepted it in excitement: "Thank you for your appreciation."
Speechless for a moment, the three of them were silent in this slightly quiet inn, or the submersible first broke the silence: "cough", the other two looked at him together, thinking that he was going to say something, only to see the submersible wind change his palm again, and a blunt sword appeared in his hand: "Xiangsheng, you will use this blunt sword this time, as a last resort, don't use hidden weapons, sectarian struggle, remember not to kill, if there is anything, we will solve it after the competition, remember to remember." ”
After all, it is a royal land, and Yao Xiangsheng is practicing all the means of killing, Qianfeng told again.
When Yao Xiangsheng heard this, he nodded again, and then went back to the room to prepare for the competition.
