Chapter 113: Give you a fief

Different from the beauty of the garden, the palace appears to be atmospheric and heavy, all kinds of rattan plants cover almost the entire wall, occasionally blown up by the wind a few leaves, you will see the cyan exterior wall, I don't know how many years of history, the whole building gives people a feeling full of historical heritage, the guard came to the gate of the palace, the attitude became more and more respectful. At this time, an internal guard came out and welcomed Ling Xiao in.

When I arrived in the courtyard, there were not as many guards as I imagined, and the courtyard was also overgrown with all kinds of precious trees, the air was fresh and natural, Ling Xiao felt a few powerful breaths hidden in the shadows, and he was a little surprised in his heart, it seemed that the protective power around the king was really strong, and he couldn't help but secretly give birth to a fighting spirit in his heart, the people of Shushan Sect have always been domineering, like Ling Xiao is the most gentle surname in the sect, and he is murderous when he encounters enemies.

Secretly, those few people seemed to feel Ling Xiao's fighting intent, one of them seemed to be intentionally tempted, exuding a coercion on his body, Ling Xiao suddenly had a feeling that it was difficult to move an inch, glanced at the bushes, his eyes burst into a ball of light, snorted lightly, strode forward, and after taking two steps, he felt that the pressure was getting bigger and bigger, like a boulder pressing on his chest, there was a feeling of suffocation, and he couldn't help but feel a wave of anger rising in his heart, it was nothing to test it, it was endless, it was a bit excessive!

As everyone knows, the guard who was hiding in the bushes to test Ling Xiao was even more frightened, the other party obviously only had the cultivation of a great sword master, not even a mad sword master, and he could actually block the momentum of his second-order demon sword master......

The internal guard who led Ling Xiao didn't feel anything unusual, and suddenly heard Ling Xiao snort, his face was a little pale, and he was suddenly a little shocked, and then he couldn't help but glance at the bushes, and coughed lightly: "Young Master Ling, hurry up, don't let Your Majesty wait for a long time!"

The pressure on Ling Xiao's body disappeared suddenly, his heart was relieved, Ling Xiao's heart was a little awe-inspiring, he had felt the powerful momentum of the Demon Sword Master in Qiuchen, this one who tested himself, although he was not so powerful, was definitely a strong man!

It seems that the number of strong people is not small, but really high-level martial artists, and they are not willing to show their heads!

Thinking of this, Ling Xiao couldn't help but smile bitterly at the corner of his mouth, he originally thought that his father Ling Tianxiao was already considered a strong man, but now it seems that he is a little superficial, the real strong people, few are in the army, if they are officials, they are basically in the imperial city!

After all, no matter how strong an individual's ability is, it can't decide the outcome of a war!

Even if it is a peerless powerhouse like the Sword Sect, at most, he can only take the head of the enemy general in the Ten Thousand Army Array, but even so, if he faces a strong crossbow of thousands of people, he doesn't dare to say that he can retreat with his whole body!

Thinking in his heart, Ling Xiao couldn't help but get a little excited, the best way to cultivate and improve his strength is to fight!

At this time, the internal guard said loudly: "Your Majesty, Ling Xiao is here!"

A gentle female voice came from the door inside: "Let him in." ”

The door of the room opened, and a palace maid who was not very beautiful, but had a gentle temperament, smiled faintly at Ling Xiao, and said softly: "Your Majesty is inside, you can go in directly, pay attention to etiquette." ”

Ling Xiao nodded, then stepped in, walked inside, heard a burst of laughter from inside, full of anger, Ling Xiao coughed lightly, the voice of the person came from inside, and said with a smile: "The tiger of the Ling family is here, come in quickly!"

As soon as Ling Xiao entered the door, he was stunned at first, because he saw that the old man sitting at the bottom was the old marshal Qiuchen who he had just healed! Qiuchen looked at Ling Xiao and chuckled.

Then, Ling Xiao saw that on the chair of the upper throne, there was an old man in his sixties, wearing a black gold-rimmed robe, embroidered with the pattern of the hideous Burst Lion King, with a thin face, a pair of embarrassed eyes, the skin on his face was very white, and there were not many wrinkles.

Ling Xiao bowed his head, in fact, except for those who have the title of nobility, they don't need to kneel when they see His Majesty the King, everyone else needs to kneel when they see the king. It's just that Ling Xiao is arrogant, how can he bow down to a king in the secular world?

Fortunately, the other party didn't care about this, but said with a smile: "Hurry up and give me a seat!"

Ling Xiao paused for a moment, and said in his heart Why is His Majesty the King so polite to himself? I was a little wary in my heart, but because the old marshal Qiuchen was also here, if he wanted to be the lord of a country, it would not be unfavorable to him.

So, Ling Xiao thanked him neither humbly nor arrogantly, and sat down.

Seeing this move, the king and Qiuchen showed a hint of appreciation in their eyes, young man, it is already very rare to be able to face a super overlord like the king of the Blue Moon Empire without changing his face.

At this time, Qiuchen took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, the old minister wants to go out for a while to meet those old friends who have not seen him for many years, so he will not bother Your Majesty." As he spoke, he gave Ling Xiao an encouraging look and turned around and went out.

His Majesty the King looked at Ling Xiao, but he was thinking in his heart, this son is extraordinary, where is it as unbearable as rumored, if there is no scandal, he will cure the old marshal Qiuchen and rescue a fifth-order demon swordsman for the empire, just this one, giving him a princess in marriage, it is not an insult to the prestige of the royal family. It's just that now, this little guy seems to have offended the prince, and he is very close to the son of the king of the south, and it seems that he is ...... I'm restless!

Thinking about it, the king looked at Ling Xiao with a smile, and seeing Ling Xiao's eyes pure and calmly looking at him, the king appreciated this young man more and more in his heart, it didn't look like what he thought, it was very similar to his father Ling Tianxiao back then! The king sighed in his heart, as if he had returned to the time when he drove his own expedition more than ten years ago, Ling Tianxiao desperately escorted him, so that he could escape from the enemy army safely.

Thinking of this, the king snorted coldly in his heart, and said that I shouldn't have handed over the west gate of the empire to Ling Qing so easily, hmph, I want a loyal minister!

"Ling Xiao, I heard that you healed Old Marshal Qiu, this is a great achievement, you have done a great deed for the empire, haha, what reward do you want? Tell me!" the king smiled heartily and looked at Ling Xiao and said.

Ling Xiao suddenly came to his senses, feelings, this is the old marshal Qiu in front of His Majesty the king to protect himself! Otherwise, how could he be a noble son to be personally received by the king?

Thinking of this, Ling Xiao smiled faintly: "Your Majesty, when the kid healed the old marshal Qiu, he only thought that he was the minister of the empire, admired by hundreds of millions of people, and he should take action to heal the old marshal, so I don't want to reward him!"

"Hahaha!" The king laughed heartily a few times, and then said: "Sure enough, Qiuchen is right, you little guy, it's really interesting!"

Immediately, his face gradually became serious, and he looked at Ling Xiao and said, "I heard that you offended the prince?"

Ling Xiao shook his head and said, "How come, I just helped His Royal Highness the Crown Prince clean up the hidden dangers around me, how can I offend?"

The king was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then laughed and scolded: "You kid, you talk crookedly and have the style of your father!" Then he said: "Ling Xiao, you have cured the old marshal, and you have made great achievements in the empire, and in addition, the old marshal Qiu appreciates you very much! So I decided to give you the hereditary viscount title and fief...... As far as the southern town is concerned, Cameron is fine, just right, you are there, you have just repelled the attack of the orcs, this is good, I believe, you will definitely make Cameron more brilliant than before!"

Southern...... That's not it, King of the South...... Did Li Wutong's territory give it to me?" Ling Xiao frowned slightly, "Your Majesty, how can you dare to ask for such a heavy reward, and ask Your Majesty to take back your life." Ling Xiao's mind was not on the word fame and fortune, he was originally thinking about preparing to cultivate wholeheartedly, but he thought that His Majesty the King had actually given him such a heavy reward, and besides, this reward, how could he feel that there was a smell of conspiracy in it!

"Hehe, don't be too careful!" The king smiled faintly: "Blue Moon Empire, it's still up to me!" As he spoke, he glanced at Ling Xiao deeply before continuing: "Your medical skills are very good, maybe in the future, even I will use you, as long as you are as faithful as your father, even if it is ...... Even if you offend the crown prince, as long as it's not treason, I'll keep you safe!"

Ling Xiao's heart shook violently, and the pupils in his eyes constricted a little as he looked at the king, and asked, "Your Majesty is so gracious, not just because I saved the old marshal, right?"

The king smiled lightly, and then said casually: "I heard that your maid, and a girl you brought back from outside, have improved by leaps and bounds in a short period of time, and you have also successfully broken through the heavenly veins, not the effect of the medicinal bath, and you have also rescued the old marshal, which is a virus that the chief imperial doctor of the palace is helpless, so ...... Ling Xiao, what I want is ...... You extend my life for another thirty years! in exchange for you, and your family...... I will be glorious!"

Ling Xiao finally realized at this moment, what is the illness of the old marshal Qiu, what is the appreciation of the old marshal Qiu, the appreciation may be true, but it will never be the meaning of the old man Qiu to reward himself so much!

Thinking of this, Ling Xiao said with a very calm expression: "If Your Majesty is sincere, why do you want to give Cameron to me?"

"It's economically rich and one of the best towns in the empire, why don't you want it?" the king looked at Ling Xiao lightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "Could it be that you have a ghost in your heart?"

Ling Xiao smiled, did not answer the king, and asked, "This is the so-called sincerity of Your Majesty?"

"Bold!" the king sneered at Ling Xiao, "how dare you talk to me like that?"

"Your Majesty wouldn't do that, if it were me, I wouldn't have begged someone with this attitude. Ling Xiao said without humility or arrogance, without raising his eyelids, as if he didn't feel the huge momentum that suddenly rose outside the door.

The momentum in the room suddenly condensed, and after a long time, the king smiled lightly: "You are bold, you really got your father's inheritance, very good! Ling Xiao, I just want to use your Ling family to balance the Second Highness, over the years, his power is too great." Then he refused to go any further.

A wry smile appeared at the corner of Ling Xiao's mouth, His Majesty the King said this kind of thing as himself, it seems that he has to accept this "reward".

"Don't worry, no one will dare to do anything to you when I'm on one day, and I'm not there on that day...... More than 30 years is enough time for you to develop. The king sighed softly, with a little loneliness in his eyes: "Ling Xiao, since you can cure Marshal Qiu's illness, don't you see...... I'm poisoned too. ”;
