245. The Last Test
After a short silence, Mu Lingxuan took the lead in asking, "Uncle Huang, you just said that there are two things you want to say to us, what is the second thing?" ”
Mu Lingtian and Mu Linglan also looked at their father inquiringly.
"The second thing, of course, is related to you." Mu Yuanxi looked at them, and his face became more solemn: "I am getting older now, and my health is not very good, I have taken many things lightly, and I have no intention of being in charge of the government anymore." So be prepared to choose a successor among you and give up the throne as soon as possible. In the future, when you are in charge of politics, I will be at home to tease my grandson and take care of my old age. ”
There was silence in the room again, and everyone's hearts felt an unspeakable sigh and a hint of nervousness.
Mu Lingxuan and Mu Lingtian both knew that what the emperor said was carefully thought out, and it was by no means a whim.
Because the emperor had already said in front of them that once a suitable candidate was chosen among them, he would abdicate immediately.
Only Mu Linglan was a little surprised by this matter, and said after a moment: "Father, the son thinks that you are in the prime of life, and the country of Yu is under your governance, the country is rich and the people are strong, and it is thriving, why did you have the idea of retiring so early?" ”
"Hehe, Ling Lan, I think you brothers are enough to have the eloquence and strategy to pick up the burden of the monarch of the Yu Kingdom. When you are fully mentally political, you will definitely do better than me. Mu Yuanxi smiled slightly, and said solemnly, "Ling Xuan, Ling Tian, originally I was going to choose an heir between the two of you. But now, according to me, although Ling Lan is small, his intelligence and talent are not necessarily under the two of you, and if he is trained, he will definitely be able to become a great weapon in the future. I've thought about it, and since you're all my children, you should be given the three of you an equal chance to compete. ”
The three of them didn't speak for a while, and Mu Yuanxi said earnestly: "You are all brothers, I hope that the three of you can work together to build the country of Yu into a more prosperous, strong and prosperous country." As long as you brothers work together and when the time is ripe, I believe that one day, the kingdom of Yu will be able to unify the four kingdoms and unify the world. ”
Mu Lingtian pondered slightly, and asked, "Father, you said that you would give us equal opportunities to compete, have you already decided that there are any specific things to be handed over to us to do?" ”
"Yes." Mu Yuanxi bowed slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Ling Xuan and Ling Tian, these days, I let you take care of the government and politics, and at the same time, I am also carefully observing, which of you is doing a better job?" Luckily, neither of you disappointed me, and you both did a great job, each with its own strengths. Although Ling Lan has not yet participated in politics, he is also talented and upright. All three of you brothers are excellent. I didn't want to make up my mind, but after much thought, I decided to give you a new mission. This time, whoever finishes well and who can win in the end will be the next monarch of Yu Kingdom. The other two were named vassal kings and did their best to assist their brothers. ”
"Father, what is this new task you have given us?" Mu Lingtian asked again, his heart was the most eager.
"The two treasures of the dragon god, you must have heard of it, right?" Mu Yuanxi said plainly.
"Of course I did." The three of them nodded at the same time.
The two treasures of the dragon god, the water dragon ball and the fire dragon armor, one ice and one fire. The two most mysterious treasures of the present day are said to have been taken from the true body of a ninth-order holy beast, the Wind Divine Dragon.
The water dragon ball is the inner pill of the divine dragon, and the fire dragon armor is the dragon scale of the divine dragon, which is tempered into a rare treasure by a master outside the world.
The two treasures are extremely powerful, and no one can say what the magic is.
It is said that only the true dragon emperors who can rule the world can truly exert their divine powers. With these two things, you have the prerequisites for dominating the world.
For hundreds of years, I don't know how many people wanted to get their hands on the Water Dragon Ball and the Fire Dragon Armor, but no one had actually seen them.
Recently, news suddenly surfaced among the countries, saying that these two treasures were hidden in Liangfeng Mountain at the junction of Yu and Chen. For a while, people who want to venture into the mountains to hunt for treasure began to be eager to try again.
However, I went to a group of treasure hunters, but none of them were able to find the two treasures of the dragon god in Liangfeng Mountain.
All those who dream of finding treasures are all disappointed without exception, and some even never return. The legend of the two treasures of the dragon god is also more mysterious.
At this time, Mu Yuanxi specifically mentioned the two treasures of the Dragon God to them, could it be that he also wanted them to go into the mountains to hunt for treasures?
"Uncle Huang, what do you mean, let a few of us go into the mountains to hunt for treasures?" Mu Lingxuan said a word at this time.
"It is precisely that I hope that the heir to the throne I have chosen is a man of courage, resourcefulness and courage. These days, the other three kingdoms have successively sent people to Liangfeng Mountain, in order to find the two treasures of the dragon god. Among several countries, no matter which country obtains these two treasures, it will be like a tiger with wings, and it is like having the largest capital to dominate the world. Therefore, I have decided that you will go over and get these two treasures back for the kingdom of Yu. Mu Yuanxi said solemnly.
"But, Uncle Huang, the two treasures of the Dragon God are just rumors in the world in Liangfeng Mountain. Isn't it too hasty for us to use such manpower and material resources to trek through mountains and rivers to search for treasures just based on these rumors that we don't know the truth? Mu Lingxuan said with a deep groan.
"I can tell you clearly, this news was released by me, and the two treasures of the Dragon God are indeed in Liangfeng Mountain. This is what my grandfather, your great-grandfather, hid there in the back then, and one day he will become the treasure of Yuguo. It's just that the place where the treasure is hidden is extremely secretive, and there are fierce beasts and many traps, and it is not easy to find it. To get the two treasures of the dragon god, not only do you need brave martial arts, but you also need an extraordinary mind, and ordinary people will never be able to get them. Therefore, I will make this a final test for the three of you. Mu Yuanxi slowly glanced at their faces, his gaze deep and solemn: "Later, I will give each of you a topographic map of Liangfeng Mountain." Tomorrow, each of you will take a team of people and horses to Liangfeng Mountain, and whoever has the courage to take back the two treasures of the Dragon God will be qualified to be the new monarch of Yu Kingdom. ”
"The retainers obeyed." The three of them replied in unison.
"Although it is for you to split up the treasure hunt, but no matter what, you must remember that you are brothers. If you encounter any difficulties or conflicts with other people during the treasure hunt, I hope that you will work together to fight the enemy. Mu Yuanxi explained solemnly.
"The retainers will keep it in mind." The three of them said in unison.
"Ling Lan, you are the youngest, and this time I also want you to go out with your two brothers to exercise more, which will definitely help you do things in the future. I believe that you will not be inferior to your two elder brothers. Mu Yuanxi looked at Mu Linglan and said lovingly.
"Father Xie trusts, and the sons must do their best to bring back the two treasures of the Dragon God." Mu Linglan said confidently, his heart full of indescribable excitement.
Because this was the first time, his father saw him as a person who had really grown up. handed over such an important matter to him and his brother to do at the same time.
For him to compete with his two outstanding brothers under the same conditions, it was a very proud thing for Mu Linglan.
"Ling Xuan, Ling Tian, do you two have any opinions to say?" Mu Yuanxi asked Mu Lingxuan and Mu Lingtian again.
"Father, no, when I get the topographic map, my sons will go back and prepare well, and I will rush to Liangfeng Mountain as soon as possible tomorrow." Mu Lingtian said very quickly.
"Well, yes, you have to be so vigorous in doing things." Mu Yuanxi nodded with satisfaction, turned to Mu Lingxuan, who was silent, and asked, "Ling Xuan, what about you?" ”
Mu Lingxuan was a little hesitant, because he thought of Cheng Tiantian.
Today, I just found out that she was poisoned by the poison that she couldn't get pregnant, and Tian Tian was deeply hit. Although it doesn't affect the rest of her body's health, let him leave Cheng Tiantian and go away at this time, and he doesn't know when he will be able to come back? He was really a little relieved and reluctant.
"Uncle Huang, can the retainer come over a few days later?" After a slight groan, Mu Lingxuan said.
He wanted to take Cheng Tiantian to see a doctor first, in this way, the eldest prince would definitely not take out the antidote.
But since Cheng Tiantian is poisoned in the Ethereal Mountain, he wants to take Cheng Tiantian to the Ethereal Mountain to try it first to see if he can find a way to detoxify.
"Ling Xuan, this matter should not be delayed for a long time, you better prepare early, and set off tomorrow." Mu Yuanxi frowned unhappily, and his tone had no room for maneuver.
"Okay." Mu Lingxuan agreed after a while, after all, he couldn't help but listen to the emperor's words.
He comforted himself in his heart, fortunately, Tiantian's body had nothing else to do, only to come back and take Tiantian to Ethereal Mountain.
Seeing that they had no objections, Mu Yuanxi called someone in, took a map of Liangfeng Mountain for each of the three of them, and then said, "Okay, you go down and prepare, I am waiting for your good news." ”
The three of them said yes and said goodbye to leave.
Mu Yuanxi said again: "Xuan'er, you stay for a while, I still have something to say to you." ”
When Mu Lingtian heard that Mu Yuanxi specially called Mu Lingxuan to stay, he couldn't help but feel an unspeakable jealousy in his heart, but he could only leave with Mu Linglan first.
When they all left, and the father-in-law also withdrew, Mu Yuanxi looked at Mu Lingxuan and said with emotion: "Xuan'er, your mother was my most beloved woman back then, but unfortunately she was victimized by a traitor and left me and you prematurely. For all these years, I have been looking forward to the day when I will meet you, and today has finally arrived. ”
"Uncle Huang, who killed my mother?" Mu Lingxuan couldn't help asking.
