The female general returned to the palace, and when the steward saw it, she immediately greeted her and said humbly: "The eldest lady is back." ”

"Well, is my father busy?" asked the general.

"The prince has just met with the generals, and now that they are all gone, he should rest in the study at this time. The steward replied.

"Well, you go get busy, it's none of your business. The female general turned to her subordinates and ordered, "You put them in the city prison." ”

"Yes. The soldier replied.

The son of the Sun family was whipped twice, and his skin was peeled open and he fainted. The soldiers dragged him and didn't want to cheapen him, so they woke him up. Then he suffered, and longed to pass out again, but unfortunately he could not do it, and there was no pain in his body, and he could not help but groan.

"I am the grandson of Zhu Guogong, and I cooperate with the Qin Mission, you dare to detain me privately, I want to see the prince, I want to see the prince. ”

After Sun Gongzi saw the palace, he shouted excitedly, hoping that someone would save him, but it backfired, no one paid attention to him at all, and the soldiers who grabbed him were annoyed by it, and directly gave him a slap, so painful that he gasped and couldn't speak.

The female general first went back to her yard, took off her armor, and changed into regular clothes, but it was not a woman's dress, but a man's clothes, simple and neat, the woman was slender, not inferior to ordinary men, with a slender neck, a handsome appearance, and narrow eyes, like willow leaves, but her complexion was darker than that of ordinary people, and it was also a place that made her care, although she had a bold personality and a big grin, but after all, she was a woman, how could she not care about her appearance. But it's only an occasional thought. Dressed neatly, Zhao Ting went to find her father.

Her father is King Yan, who controls the military and political power in the four states of the border pass, and it can be said that he covers the sky with one hand in these four states. King Yan has only such a daughter, her mother died early, since the death of his wife, King Yan has not continued the string, even if the emperor's brother wanted to call the shots and give him marriage, he was sternly refused. This daughter is the pearl of his palm, and he doesn't want her to suffer a trace of grievance.

King Yan was no longer in the study, and only after asking his subordinates did he know that he had gone to the garden and rested alone.

"Father. Zhao Ting shouted.

Yan Wang is middle-aged, burly, and his temples are a little gray.

When King Yan saw his baby daughter, he was full of smiles, kind and kind, "Ting'er is back, is it going well this time?"

"Those bandits were a rabble, and they were quickly exterminated. Zhao Ting said, but there was a faint sadness on her face.

What a character King Yan was, he could see at a glance that his daughter had something on his mind, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"It's not about me, it's about my father. On the way back, I heard that Da Yan said that we had slaughtered their people, and they wanted us to give an explanation, otherwise we would go to war. It's okay if my daughter wants to be ordinary, it's a big deal to fight, and we're not afraid of them. But now is the first time that the imperial brother has ascended to the throne and is in power, and he hopes that everything will be stable. And if something happens at the border, it is not against the holy will. What he is most afraid of is that the emperor suspects that his father is dissatisfied with the first emperor passing the throne to him, and intends to make trouble, taking advantage of his lack of prestige to consolidate his power and enhance his prestige through border wars, and have bad intentions. ”

Zhao Ting said, her face even more sad.

King Yan was pleased, "I didn't expect you to think of such a far-reaching idea, and it is in vain to be cultivated by your father for many years, but don't worry, daughter, when your strength is so strong that people are scared, everything is illusory." ”

"Father, do you think it could be that someone in the court deliberately planted a false accusation? Our border four states have special armaments and extremely strict control, and it is impossible to casually wander into the people's rivers and lakes, unless someone in the court has fornication, I think that at my border, if it is not for my father's men, it is the work of bandits they have bought. ”

"I have sent someone down to let people check whether there is an army going out without permission, and strictly check the armory to see if it is missing, and I have also notified the emperor and asked him to check whether the weapons have been lost in the ordnance superintendent. And you are still in charge of exterminating the bandits, and checking whether they are the ones who slaughtered the people. The slaughter of the people of a town used a lot of people, and it is absolutely impossible for such an action to be concealed. ”

"Okay. By the way, father, I seem to have caused you trouble today. Zhao Ting pretended to twist and said.

"What's wrong? Ting'er still knows that she has made a mistake. King Yan asked with a smile.

"Didn't the emperor send Xia Qin to take the lead? It was the grandson of Sun Zhu Guogong who came to take the lead, and he rode his horse in the city and spoke out a mouthful of words, and I couldn't get angry, so I had people whip him a few times and put him in prison. Zhao Ting said truthfully.

"I thought what was the matter, this is a trivial matter, the emperor's nephew now wishes that I had a falling out with all the important ministers of the court, he will only be happy in his heart, and he will be reprimanded, as for Zhu Guogong, he is a fart. King Yan said arrogantly.

"Father, you said that if someone suddenly approaches you, you can't judge whether he is good or bad, do you abandon him, or do you appoint him?

"If you use it, you must use it, and if you discard it, how can you know who he is? If he is hostile, you should still put him in the open, as the saying goes, it is difficult to defend against hidden arrows. As for whether to stay by your side or stay away, it depends on your ability?What? Someone deliberately approached you?" asked Yan Wang.

"No, it's just that I suddenly thought of how to deal with it if there is a spy, isn't this asking my father for advice? Father, if it's okay, I'll go back and rest. ”

"Well, go ahead, you're tired these days, have a good rest. King Yan instructed.

After Zhao Ting said goodbye to her father, she left the garden, "Xiaolian, you go and talk to Lao Cai, the concierge steward, if two people come to me, bring them directly to me." ”

"Yes, Miss. ”

Zu Zhenlin sat in the room, through the window, observing the Yanwang Mansion, and wanted to find out very much, but reason told him that he must not, since his strength passed through the Warcraft Town, he had a clear understanding that the Great Wangfu was by no means something he could sneak into at will, and if he startled the snake, he would waste the opportunity he asked for during the day.

Zu Zhenlin closed the window and sat cross-legged on the bed, holding two spirit stones in his hands. Since the destruction of Lijia Village, Zhenlin has been struggling to cultivate in his heart, thinking about cultivation all the time, which is completely different from when he was at home. Now he is in the late stage of the Qi Fusion Realm, the Qi Sea begins to slowly close, the Spiritual Qi begins to compress, and as the cultivation progresses, it will also be accompanied by pain, and when the Spiritual Qi turns into spiritual liquid, then break through a realm and reach the Liquid Transformation Realm.

As Zhenlin practiced, the spirit stone gradually dimmed and lost its luster, and the aura around him became more and more intense.

The next morning, Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao cleaned up and went to the door to ask to see the eldest lady of the palace.

Steward Cai had already been instructed by the eldest lady to lead the two to the side hall to wait. It didn't take long for Zhao Ting to walk into the room.

Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao hurriedly got up.

"It's okay, sit down. Zhao Ting smiled, "You two are still in a hurry, so you came here so early." ”

Zhao Ting was dressed in a strong suit, presumably because she had just practiced.

"The two of us want to enter the army as soon as possible, and we don't want to delay. Zu Zhenlin said.

"Oh, that's right, so let's introduce yourselves. ”

"Okay, my name is Zu Zhenlin, and his name is Li Cao. We came from the north, called Warcraft Town, but that place was too chaotic, the two of us came out together, wanting to find a life, we heard that Yan Country is the most powerful country in the vicinity, so we thought about whether we could join the army, earn some military merits, and settle down. ”

Zu Zhenlin calmly said what he had thought of yesterday.

Zhao Ting thought for a while and didn't say anything, "Do you have any skills? You must know that military merit is not so easy to win." ”

"Both of us have cultivated the exercises, and we are still able to fight. ”

Zhao Ting's eyes lit up, "You are still cultivators, what realm are you?"

"I'm in the middle stage of the Qi Fusion Realm, and he has just cultivated, and it's just a spiritual realm. "Zu Zhenlin concealed his true strength.

"Ah, you're already in the Qi Realm, so powerful, then you want to show it to me, don't you mind?" Zhao Ting asked.

The eldest lady laughed. Zu Zhenlin said.

"Okay, let's go. ”

Zhao Ting was resolute and immediately brought the two to the school with great interest.

"Then how about you try it with me?"

"How dare you, the eldest lady's daughter, I'm afraid that I won't pay attention......"

"It's okay, it's just a martial arts competition, and if it hurts me, I won't blame it. Zhao Ting said.

Zhao Ting picked up a long sword, "What weapon are you going to use?"

"No, I'm still used to my hands. ”

"Okay, then you're welcome. ”

After Zhao Ting finished speaking, purple light flashed on the sword, and the sound of thunder faintly came out. The toes touched the ground, leaving a pit, and in the blink of an eye, they reached the front of Zhenlin, and a sword stabbed out, and the purple light was magnificent, which grabbed people's ears and eyes, and they couldn't see clearly.

Zu Zhenlin was taken aback, and immediately used his body technique 'ten steps' and walked away. However, Zhao Ting is like a shadow, like purple lightning, and her body style is not inferior to Zhenlin. Zhenlin no longer dodged, facing the chasing sword, he dodged sideways, and wanted to flick the sword away with his fingers. Zhao Ting's qi machine climbed, the long sword was filled with purple light, the thunder vibrated loudly, and the purple snake swam around the sword body. Zhenlin's fingers were blocked by the aura, and he couldn't do it, and the little snake wrapped around his fingers, Zhenlin's palms were instantly paralyzed, and he quickly strengthened the aura and expelled the purple aura from his body.

The tip of Zhao Ting's sword trembled, and the sword gang turned into a net, covering Zhenlin inside. Zhenlin clenched his fist with his right hand, his aura condensed, and his momentum rose again. With a punch, the net broke, and Zhenlin escaped. Then a palm slapped on the sword, and the long sword broke in response.

Zu Zhenlin distanced himself again, and Zhao Ting no longer pursued.

"Offended, Miss. Zu Zhenlin pleaded guilty.

"It's okay, Childe is really amazing, admire. Zhao Ting said with a smile.

"The eldest lady is not serious, otherwise I would not be your opponent. ”

"Okay, you go and rest first, and I'll think about where to arrange you. Come and take them to the guest room to rest. Zhao Ting commanded.

A steward stepped forward and said, "Got it, Miss." Please come with me, both of you. ”

When Zu Zhenlin and the others walked away, yesterday's soldiers suddenly appeared.

"What does Uncle Zhao think?" asked Zhao Ting.

"It's amazing. ”

"Yes, I didn't expect that person to actually have an innate aura, do you think such a person would be a casual cultivator, or did he really get the incomplete exercise method by chance?" Zhao Ting wondered.

"Lady thinks they have another purpose?"

"At least there's a good chance they're lying. Zhao Ting asserted.

"What does the eldest lady want to do with them?"

They didn't do anything bad, they just wondered, what if they acted rashly and wronged people? ”
