Chapter 31: The Rival of Life

Emperor Zhenyu walked a few steps after getting off the boat, and Li Haotian followed closely by his side.

"Uncle Wang. Emperor Zhenyu walked quickly to the old man and bowed deeply.

In the face of the emperor's salute, the old man's face did not change, and he even reproached: "Zhenyu, you are the emperor, you don't have to give such a heavy salute to the old man." ”

Emperor Zhenyu said yes again and again, and Li Haotian next to him had already knelt to the ground and said, "Patriarch." ”

Before coming, someone had already explained that this Uncle Wang was the patriarch of the royal family and the uncle of Emperor Zhenyu. However, this uncle Wang patriarch has been unpleasant to Emperor Zhenyu since he was a child, and even impeached Emperor Zhenyu for disaster relief a few years ago. Therefore, Emperor Zhenyu was both respectful and afraid of this old patriarch, and he still had a little hatred. Therefore, in front of him, he behaved submissively, and even made Li Haotian, who was the crown prince, give a big salute to the old patriarch.

"Let the prince get up too. The old patriarch raised his hand and helped Li Haotian up. "How is the prince's recovery from his injuries?"

"Uncle Wang, Haotian's body has fully recovered, but the pulse level has not fully recovered. "Emperor Zhenyu deliberately avoided Li Haotian's current pulse level.

The old patriarch nodded, "It's a pity, the prince has reached the tenth level of pulse disciple last year, and he was originally going to measure the pulse and start the pulse ring with Yun'er this year, but it seems that it will have to wait until next year." ”

Emperor Zhenyu greeted each other at this time, some of them were the same generation as him, and some were a generation higher, and they were all patriarchs of several branches of the imperial family. One of the middle-aged men with a full beard strode forward and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, are you interested in learning pulse skills this year?"

Zhenyu waved his hand again and again: "Brother Tanglin said that I am your opponent." ”

Li Haotian also came to salute at this time, he secretly looked at the king of Dongling, the eyes of the king of Donglin were sweeping to his face, and a flash of ruthlessness suddenly flashed in his eyes, Li Haotian only felt a shock to his body, the racket was connected with Li Haotian at this time, and naturally he also felt the pressure of the other party's gaze, and suddenly said a mantra, Li Haotian did as he did, and actually bounced the gaze of the king of Donglin.

The king of Tanglin was shocked, "Uncle Wang." Li Haotian said softly.

"The prince is exempt. With the pause just now, the arrogance in King Tanglin's tone was much more restrained.

At this time, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy stepped forward and said, "I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”

This young man is quite similar to this Tanglin King, but his appearance is more delicate. There is no need to guess, this must be the first place in last year's competition, and Li Hao, the son of the Tanglin branch, has become.

Li Haotian just guessed it and didn't say much.

"Last year, I fought with the crown prince and won by luck, and I was supposed to wait for His Royal Highness the prince to open the pulse ring this year, but unfortunately His Royal Highness the prince ......"

Li Haotian straightened his chest and smiled, showing the dignity of the prince.

Emperor Zhenyu actually felt the change in King Tanglin's eyes just now, because last year, he glared at the prince a few steps back, making him ugly. This year, Emperor Zhenyu didn't think that the current crown prince was resisting the other party's eyes, so he didn't remind him. But he didn't expect Li Haotian to be stared at, and his body just shook slightly.

In addition to being surprised, Emperor Zhenyu also had a pleasant face, which made the Tanglin King very angry. Emperor Zhenyu waved his hand at the thousands of people who greeted him, and he was flat.

Everyone surrounded the old patriarch and Emperor Zhenyu into the palace of the manor, and Li Haotian followed behind Emperor Zhenyu. At this time, the racket suddenly said: "Boy, have you noticed?" Although the clothing of this group is similar, the belt around the waist of the adult is of a different color. The belt around the waist of that Tanglin King is red, while the old patriarch and the emperor and yours are yellow. It's just that the old patriarch is inlaid with yellow, and you and the emperor are golden. ”

Li Haotian looked around when he heard this, and sure enough, as the racket said, it seemed that this color was the sign of the distinction between the various tribes.

At this time, a boy with a yellow belt on his waist also came over, his long eyebrows were clear and beautiful, and he was half a head taller than Li Haotian. Obviously, he and Li Haotian are in the same branch of the royal family, and their relationship is not far away.

Li Haotian thought of someone in his heart, could it be that he was the grandson of the old patriarch and the third brother of the clan Li Haoyun, who once threatened his crown princeship?

"His Royal Highness the Prince. The boy shouted.

"Third brother. Li Haotian hurriedly returned the salute.

Li Haoyun was stunned when he heard this, and then said in surprise: "It is rumored that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was injured in the head and lost his memory. Today, it seems that it is all rumors. ”

Li Haotian smiled: "Third brother, the rumors are true, I have indeed lost my memory. In addition, I didn't recognize the third brother just now, but when I saw the third brother, I had a sense of intimacy, so I blurted out. ”

Li Haoyun was overjoyed when he heard this, "You and I have been playing together since childhood, and we are naturally the closest." Otherwise, I am young, and I will not be named Nanxiang Hou by His Majesty. ”

Li Haotian nodded, "It's just a pity that my pulse recovery is limited." Originally, he went hand in hand with the third brother, and he planned to open the pulse ring together, but now he can only look at the third brother's back. ”

"Brother Prince, don't be discouraged. Third brother, I had reached the tenth level of the pulse apprentice last year, and I originally planned to participate in the competition as a pulse student this year, but a year has passed, and I have not reached the full level of the tenth level of the pulse apprentice. And with the qualifications of the prince's brothers, I am afraid that it will be able to return to its original state in the near future. ”

Li Haotian was stunned for a moment, could it be that his cultivation to the ninth level of the pulse disciple had been discovered by him?

"Boy, don't be too honest. The racket said: "These people are all pregnant with turtle fetuses, don't look at this kid's age, I don't think my heart is less than yours." ”

Li Haotian was unconvinced, but he did not refute it. He said to Nanxiang Hou Li Haoyun: "Third brother, I don't think there is any need to compete this year." Since the prince of Tanglin was overaged, the third brother wanted to win the championship, such as exploring the bag. ”

"Not really. Li Haoyun said: "Although Brother Haocheng is overage, his brother Brother Haoyang is also talented, last year he only had the seventh level of the pulse apprentice, and this year he has cultivated to the ninth level, coupled with his bravery and warlikeness, I am afraid that the foolish brother may not be his opponent." ”

Li Haoyang, Li Haotian wrote down the name.

The two chatted all the way, and they had already arrived in the palace.

The emperor and the crown prince each bathed and changed their clothes, and then prepared a grand ceremony to worship their ancestors, and legend has it that the rise of the Li clan of the Tianlong Empire was in this Tianlun ranch.

During the rest time after bathing, Li Haotian couldn't help but ask the racket: "Through the conversation just now, what do you think of that Nan Xianghou?"

"This son has a degree of advance and retreat, and his scheming is quite deep. was once nominated as a candidate when the prince lost his memory, in addition to the strong family power behind him, it also shows that he is smart, clever, civil and military. Perhaps your future rival will be him. ”

"What about the King of Tanglin and his son?" Li Haotian said: "It seems that they have a little underestimation of the emperor.

"Remember, a dog that bites people does not show its teeth, and it is often difficult for those who do things to the fore. On the contrary, he usually has a smile on his face, but it is easy to stick a knife in his back. ”
