Chapter 60: The Unexpected

The old emperor's words made the entire hall fall into silence completely, Xu Luo subconsciously looked around, it seemed that all the nobles lowered their heads, thinking about something, and now there are only the second princes who can compete for the throne among the heirs of His Majesty. The third prince and the fifth prince, although the third prince was assigned to the frontier, but because he was born to the queen, plus he is known as a virtuous name, so there are still many nobles who still support him, as for the five princes, he is heroic, has been in the army for many years, and there are many supporters in the army, but because the traditional soldiers of the empire cannot interfere in politics, he hopes for the youngest one, and the second prince has been loved by the old emperor since he was a child, and it is really a son who is expensive by his mother, but he is not as good as the third prince in terms of talent, and not as good as the fifth prince in terms of military merits, if it is not for his mother to support him, I am afraid that there are not many nobles who are optimistic about him。 Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Your Majesty should know that I have been an orphan since I was a child, and I have almost no relatives, only a brother who grew up together, he is now in the Wind Mercenary Group, and Scott, the leader of the Wind Mercenary Group who died in battle before, has a great kindness to him, he will never leave the Wind Mercenary Group, if he does not leave, I can't turn my back on this brotherhood, and besides, I am also lazy, I just want to end up in the Wind Mercenary Group, and I ask Your Majesty for forgiveness. Xu Luo left his seat, stood in the center of the hall, and said these words very respectfully.

The old emperor was fine, he just sighed, and the concubine Niangniang stared at Xu Luo with a pair of cold eyes, all the previous smiles disappeared, and instead said lightly:

"Didn't Lord Xu Luo ask Concubine Ben how much confidence she had in the Bauhinia Mercenary Group? I also said bluntly, the Wind Mercenary Group has no chance of winning, if you insist on staying there, then don't blame Benfei, I will discuss with the Mercenary Guild and the Archaeologist Guild to expel you from the Wind Mercenary Group before the Battle of the Dragon God. ”

"As far as I know, the Bauhinia Mercenary Regiment is only eight second-turn professions, and two have been abolished before, I don't know where Niangniang got such confidence?" Xu Luo also stood up straight at this time, this matter was originally the second prince's bullying, and he could understand the mood of this concubine Niangniang protecting the calf, but it was so arrogant, even if it was a clay man, it was three points of anger.

"My brother is an Awakening Windwalker, and now he is the honorary head of the Bauhinia Mercenary Regiment, I don't know if this answer Xu Luo Scholar is satisfied?" The words of the noble concubine made the entire hall gasp, Xu Luo didn't understand that an awakening profession was indeed an invincible existence, but these nobles would not be so out of shape.

"Srina's brother was one of the six heroes of the Glorious War that year, not one of those awakened classes that later became famous. "His Majesty the Emperor's words are undoubtedly a blow to the head, the Glorious War is the official name of the empire for the war to overthrow the rule of the ancients, the strength of the six heroes back then is said to be comparable to the dragon, and those later awakened professions are really just children compared to them.

"Lord Xu Luo, I have seen the board you identified, it is indeed the empire, no, it should be the existence of the board in the entire continent second only to Lord Red Dragon, I didn't want to use my brother to press you, but this time, I have no choice but to do so, and I hope you can understand. Although he said understanding, the essence in his eyes did not cut at all, Xu Luo knew that this concubine Niangniang was definitely a master above the level, her brother was one of the six heroes, and she was at least a second-turn professional.

"Then forgive me for being rude, I still have something to do, please forgive your Majesty the Emperor. With that, Xu Luo turned around and left the main hall, ignoring the stunned nobles, pushed open the heavy door of the main hall, and never returned.

"Hehe, with the same temper as his master Deyol, Srina you have this little scholar this time. The old emperor was not angry at Xu Luo's rudeness, for him, such a reaction was like a real A-level archaeologist, at this time the eunuch beside him had already handed the board that had been placed on Xu Luo's table to the old emperor, and the old emperor looked at the magic on the board, and couldn't help but marvel at Xu Luo's identification ability.

"Concubine, you stole this board from the Archaeologists' Guild, I'm afraid that those old guys will fight with you. "This board is said to be worse than that of Lord Red Dragon, but in fact the gap is really small, no wonder this time the archaeologists union will let the Yellow Goose Chamber of Commerce reduce the odds to this extent, it can be seen that they have a lot of confidence in Xu Luo, but they don't know the power competition behind this matter, thinking of this, the old emperor sat up straight, and said loudly to the nobles present:

"I summoned you here this time, on the one hand, to celebrate the birth of the fourteenth A-class archaeologist of the empire, but unfortunately I was disturbed by my concubine, and offended this scholar, so that you can see the joke, but it just so happens that I also take this opportunity to tell you another thing. Hearing the old emperor say this, all the nobles are sitting in danger, this is obviously the old emperor taking the opportunity to have a showdown, the first five princes were sent by the old emperor to inspect the frontier, and the three princes have long been assigned, leaving only the second prince in the imperial capital, and the people who announced the crown prince, the third prince and the five princes have no good way to admonish at this moment.

"I have been in power for forty-five years, and now I feel that my energy is not as good as before, and I am afraid that my life will not be long, so I will announce the imperial prince in advance to be prepared. As soon as the old emperor said this, all the nobles below got up from their seats, walked to the aisle in the center of the main hall, knelt on the ground and shouted in unison:

"The saint has been immortal for thousands of years, and the longevity is better than the sky!"

"Hehe, you Aiqing have a heart, but today I still want to set the position of this prince, come to the big companion, and announce the decree. ”

Although the old emperor is already an old dragon clock at the moment, how can he not know the thoughts of those people below when he has been in power for so long, and he does not estimate so many opposing opinions at this moment, and directly asks his cronies and eunuchs to read out the will.

The will did not surprise everyone, saying that the second prince was pure filial piety and benevolence, set an example for all princes, and then became the crown prince, and everyone could not directly refute the old emperor's face, the power of the empire was still in the hands of the old emperor, don't look at him with a smile on his face now, if anyone really angered the emperor, then his power would definitely be gone.

"Okay, after the business is over, let's eat in peace!" The old emperor smiled, then ignored the nobles below, and ate with his concubine.

Xu Luo naturally didn't know what was happening in the main hall, he came to the gate of the palace under the guidance of the little eunuch in the palace, but he didn't expect a man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes waiting for him at the city gate, looking at the guards and servants around this man, Xu Luo roughly guessed that this was the second prince, after all, the second prince's ears still inherited part of his mother's appearance, although not as sharp and cute as the purebred elf clan, but still much more slender than normal humans.
