Dongfang Shuo was stunned for a moment.

"Because of me?"

He really didn't expect this.

The emperor used imperial power to suppress them, just so that they could witness Dongfang Shuo being crowned with their own eyes?

Not to mention that Dongfang Shuo's origin is unknown, it is impossible to compare with the two behemoths of the Sima family and the Lu family alone, not to mention that he is only twenty-three years old now.

Because of this, the emperor's operation is a bit confusing.

"Do you know what Shang Guogong represents?"

The Emperor suddenly asked again.

Dongfang Shuo shook his head.

He really didn't know.

And it seems that Xu Changsheng doesn't know, if he knew, he should have said it yesterday.

And not only Xu Changsheng, I'm afraid most people don't know what the title of Duke Shangguo represents.

The emperor said: "In the history of the Longlin Empire, apart from you, there is only one Shangguo Gong. That Shang Guogong saved the Longlin Empire from danger nearly two hundred years ago, or it can be said that it was precisely because he saved the Longlin Empire from danger that he became the Shang Guogong of my Longlin Empire. ”

Dongfang Shuo paused.

"After saving the Longlin Empire, but only being made a duke, shouldn't you go one step further to become a marquis?" Dongfang Shuo asked.

The emperor smiled and said, "In this regard, the widow is also very strange, but that was two hundred years ago, and the widow does not know. At that time, it was not said that it was a widow, but even the widow's father had not yet been born. Now in my Longlin Empire, the only one who has seen Shang Guogong is the old ancestor. ”

At this time, Dongfang Shuo was stunned for a moment.

Ancestor?

His heart trembled.

Speaking of which, Longlin Ancestor still has some relationship with him, previously he broke through one hundred and one re-foundation in the spiritual realm to cause celestial phenomena, but Longlin Ancestor was the first to stand up to protect him. No matter what the purpose of Longlin Ancestor was, even if it was the Dao Sect who really saved Dongfang Shuo in the end, Longlin Ancestor could be regarded as protecting Dongfang Shuo once.

On the other hand, Dongfang Shuo also understands one thing.

Whether it is killing the emperor or seizing the power of the empire, Longlin Ancestor must pass this level.

"In that case, what about the descendants of Shang Guogong, don't they inherit the title of duke?" Dongfang Shuo asked again.

But the emperor shook his head and said, "According to the history books, there is no queen of Shang Guogong. However, Shang Guogong only stayed in the empire for more than ten years, and then left for the emperor. ”

"Hey, this Shang Guogong is living freely. ”

Dongfang Shuo sighed.

And the emperor also nodded and said: "Yes, this point, the old ancestor often blurted out enviously, but it's a pity that the old ancestor needs to protect the empire and can't leave." If there is a chance, the widow would also like to see that Shang Guogong, but if that Shang Guogong is still alive, he should be more than two hundred and twenty years old by now. At that time, he only had the refining period, and in the history of Xuzhou, he had never had the power of the two-hundred-year-old refining period. ”

"Refining Stage, didn't the Dragon Forest Empire have a Mixed Yuan Stage giant at that time?"

Dongfang Shuo was puzzled.

"Naturally, there is. It's a pity that the giant who protected the country was already a 300-year-old dying man and was powerless to protect the country. On the contrary, although that Shang Guogong is a powerful body in the refining period, he has the ability to fight against the giants of the Yuan Dynasty, which can be described as a heavenly man. It's a pity that his story is only a few strokes in the history books, and there are not many people who remember him in this era. ”

Listening to this explanation, Dongfang Shuo was also a little interested in Na Shang Guogong.

But in addition to his interest, he was also keenly aware of a hint of metaphor.

"Your Majesty has enshrined me as the Duke of Shangguo, a title that once saved the Empire, and you are telling me this, do you want to tell me...... Is the empire in trouble?" Dongfang Shuo asked.

The emperor was stunned.

Then, he took a step back and sat down.

"There is a word called taking precautions, not that the empire is in trouble, but that the widow is afraid that the empire will be in trouble. The Emperor said.

Dongfang Shuo stared for a moment, and then asked: "Your Majesty can have such thoughts, there should be some signs, even if the empire is not in trouble, Your Majesty will think like this, there is always some reason." ”

Hearing this, the emperor sank his gaze.

At this time, there was a bit of heaviness in his eyes, obviously Dongfang Shuo guessed correctly.

After a moment of silence, the emperor raised his eyes to look at Dongfang Shuo and said, "A month ago, you were still in the spiritual domain, and you should know about the catastrophe in the spiritual domain, right?"

Dongfang Shuo was stunned, what the emperor said at this moment must be a celestial incident caused by Dongfang Shuo.

"Yes. ”

He nodded.

Although he caused it, no one knows that it has anything to do with him, so there is no need for him to be nervous.

"After that incident," said this, the emperor suddenly paused, as if hesitating, but then continued, "the old ancestor claimed to be unharmed, but in fact it caused an old disease, and he has been in retreat and has not yet been released. ”

"Longlin Ancestor is in retreat?"

Dongfang Shuo was taken aback.

The Emperor nodded immediately.

At this time, Dongfang Shuo's face showed a worried look, but he breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.

Since the Longlin Ancestor is in retreat, then he will not hinder Dongfang Shuo, maybe by the time the Longlin Ancestor comes out, the Longlin Empire has already changed. As for the rest of the matter, as long as it is given to Dongfang Shuo in the future.

That's why widows need to be prepared. The emperor said, "The old ancestor is a giant in the mixed Yuan period, and his longevity is three hundred years, but although he is only two hundred years old now, the recurrence of the old disease will inevitably make him more auspicious." If the old ancestor can't come out this time, I'm afraid the matter won't be hidden for long. ”

"So, Your Majesty wants to shape the next Imperial Pillar?"

Dongfang Shuo asked.

The Emperor nodded: "Yes." ”

But Dongfang Shuo shook his head: "I'm only twenty-three years old, and when I grow up to become a pillar of the empire, if there is no Longlin Ancestor to protect me, the empire may not be able to wait." ”

The implication is to refuse.

He didn't know what would happen after that, but it would inevitably affect his initial set of plans.

If he was to be dragged to special training, then he would say goodbye to the plan completely.

"I've been waiting for it. The emperor said, "The first generation of Shang Guogong left a scroll, which recorded in detail the methods for cultivating the power of the refining period in a short period of time. However, because it takes a lot of national power to train a person, the scroll has been placed on the top floor of the imperial study until today, and no one has opened it in nearly 180 years. ”

Dongfang Shuo was stunned.

"A way to cultivate the power of the refining period?"

In his mind, the secret method of the Huang Mang Desert Dune Fox Clan suddenly appeared, which can cultivate the king of the second vein, and the secret method is divided into two types: fast and stable, but even if it is stable, it will not reach the point of consuming national strength.

But according to what the emperor said, if what Shang Guogong left behind was really a way to cultivate the power of the refining period, then it would be equivalent to an advanced version.

Now, although Dongfang Shuo has the ability to 'inherit and refine the true cultivation' through the 'Little Overlord Learning Machine', this ability cannot be applied to himself.

If you can get that scroll, maybe after you get this empire, you will be able to break through the refining period as soon as possible.

"I understand that it is too difficult to suddenly ask you to carry the weight of an empire. But you have to understand that at the moment you are the only candidate, because you are the only one among your peers in the empire who can defeat Lu Yanzhang with a single sword. The emperor said, "The widow will give you a month to think about it." ”

Dongfang Shuo's gaze sank.

In the low gaze, a sharp touch of the emperor was undetectable.

I'm afraid, the emperor doesn't have a month to think about.
