Imperial Palace, inside the Imperial Study.

The emperor sat at his desk, which was piled high with folds waiting for a decision.

"Ahem, cough, cough~~"

He looked at the fold in his hand, and put his left hand into a fist under his nose, not coughing.

"This group of bastards, there are so many problems in Mingdu that I haven't found out, it seems that if I don't rectify it, I have forgotten my methods." There was a chill in his words.

"Your Majesty, the fourth prince asks to see you." The janissaries at the gate came in and whispered.

"Well, let him in."

The emperor put down the fold in his hand and looked at Xu Lanqing who came in, and his face turned into a kind smile again.

"Lan Qing, why are you here, is there something wrong?"

"Father, the child has something to discuss with you."

"Oh? Whatever is it, say it and listen to it. ”

The emperor blinked his eyes and looked at him with interest, this son of his, who had been smart since he was a child, had never let him down, and belonged to the kind of child of someone else's family.

Xu Lanqing took a deep breath, his eyes were firm, and he slowly spoke.

"I want to get the first soul ring, I want to get stronger."

Yes, after the accumulation of things in the past two days, he has never been so eager to become stronger as he is now, he is fed up with this feeling that his life is not in his hands, only if he is strong, he will not be controlled everywhere.

"Get out now, aren't you afraid of being assassinated again?" The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had thought of something.

Xu Lanqing smiled: "I can't stay in the palace all the time, I always have to go out in the end." ”

"Moreover, this time I went out of the palace not only to obtain the soul ring, maybe I can also lure the snake out of the hole, using myself as bait to set up a trap, this is a yang conspiracy, it depends on how much weight I have in the hearts of those people behind the scenes."

After speaking, Xu Lanqing's handsome little face was already full of coldness.

"Hahaha, good! That's what my son is going to be! ”

The wrinkles like ravines were outlined on the emperor's face, and after laughing, they were even more crowded together, and they couldn't be distinguished.

He looked at Xu Lanqing, with relief and emotion in his eyes, as if he saw his own shadow back then.

With a flash of light on his hand, a silver bead appeared in the emperor's hand, and he handed it to Xu Lanqing.

"This soul guide doesn't have a name, and it's useless to put it on me, you can keep it, it has only one function, and it can only be used once, that is, spatial teleportation, which can be teleported hundreds of miles away in an instant. It may be the only space-type soul guide on the continent, Kong Lao has also studied it for a long time, no one knows how this soul guide is made, and he can't copy it if he wants to. ”

Xu Lanqing gasped, this is a space soul guide, no one has ever heard of being able to make a space soul guide. The power of space has always been only touched by Extreme Douluo.

"This ...... Thank you, Father. ”

The emperor smiled indifferently, turned his head to the guards and ordered, "Go and invite the master of the Mingde Hall." ”

Don't say much, Mingde Hall's main mirror Hongchen rushed over.

"Weichen has seen Your Majesty and met His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince."

Hongchen, the main mirror of Mingde Hall, is not tall, but he is very obese, wearing a gorgeous black robe with gold embroidery, and a round face smiling, like a smiling fox. Folded hands in front of him and saluted.

The emperor first explained the situation to him, and then asked him: "I want you and Zheng Zhan to protect Lan Qing with you, and Ye Yulin leads people to follow in secret, what do you think?" ”

Jing Hongchen's smile did not decrease: "Weichen respectfully obeys His Majesty's wisdom. ”

"That's very good, Lan Qing, I've come to see the Mirror Hall Master."

Xu Lanqing looked at him curiously, this was the first time he had seen Jing Hongchen, "I've seen the Mirror Hall Master." ”

Then he rolled his eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile: "I heard others say that the master of Detang is strong, the soul guide talent is extremely high, and even the teacher agrees with you very much, Mingdetang is thriving under your leadership, and when I see it today, it really deserves its reputation." ”

"Your Highness has a good reputation."

Jing Hongchen's smile was even bigger, no one would not like to hear others say good things about themselves, and he was no exception.

Xu Lanqing sighed, and then said: "It's just that I'm afraid that this time I go out will be more auspicious, even if I have the ninth-level soul guide starry night guardian given to me by the teacher, I don't have a bottom in my heart, of course, I don't doubt your ability, it's just that the enemy is really unguardable." ”

Jing Hongchen's smile froze, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Where could he not hear the meaning of Xu Lanqing's words, in front of the emperor, could he not give it, so small, such a chicken thief, and he didn't know where to learn it.

Jing Hongchen raised his hand and wiped it on his chest, and a very thin metal piece appeared in his palm.

This piece of metal was round, it looked as thin as paper, and its whole body exuded a soft golden halo, and no soul power fluctuations seeped out of it, but it was just there, but it had a special texture as thick as a mountain.

Jing Hongchen said: "This soul guide is called Hongchen Blessing, and it is a trigger-type defensive soul guide. Placing it on your chest will automatically fit into the soul master's body, absorbing the soul master's soul power and becoming one with it. Once the soul master is attacked, it will sense and defend in advance. It can be turned off and on with the help of the mind. As with Starry Night Guardian, using it does not limit cultivation. Its defensive effect is equivalent to the strongest blow that the user can concentrate all of their soul power without using a soul skill. And the soul power consumed was only one-fifth of the strongest blow. It is suitable for any level of soul master, and if it is in the hands of Titled Douluo, then it can have Super Douluo-level defense. ”

"At the same time, it has a special way of excitation. By actively activating the Core Circle, an invincibility shield that lasts for fifteen seconds can be created. Defense is three times the user's own strength. However, this special excitation only needs to be used once, and it needs to be recharged. There is no need to deliberately recharge, in the user's natural cultivation, it will gradually be filled with the required soul power, and this process will take about three days. Of course, you can also actively recharge, in that case, you need to meditate for about a day and a night, and you can continue to infuse all your soul power into it. ”

"Considering the situation of His Highness, the powerful soul guide can't be used, and this one is just right."

After speaking, he gave him to Xu Lanqing with some pain.

"Thank you Mirror Hall Master, Mirror Hall Lord is really the pillar of the country!" Xu Lanqing praised happily.

The emperor smiled and shook his head: "Okay, go back and get ready, let's set off in two days." ”

……

Mingdu, as the capital of the Sun and Moon Empire, is also the largest and most prosperous city of the Sun and Moon Empire.

Different from the ancient city in Xu Lanqing's imagination, Mingdu's soul guide technology is extremely developed, full of high-rise buildings, brilliant lights, and almost like the city he lived in in his previous life.

Xu Lanqing sat in a luxury carriage pulled by two century-old Tianjiao horses, Jing Hongchen and Zheng Zhan sat on the other side of him, the car was spacious, there was a faint incense in the air, a layer of soft and comfortable fur was spread underneath, and there was a conspicuous sun and moon royal emblem outside the carriage, for fear that others would not know who the people inside were.

He lifted the curtain and looked curiously at the bustling street outside. The main road is wide and smooth, can accommodate a dozen horse-drawn carriages side by side at the same time, and the road surface is very clean and there is no strange smell.

The streets are lined with shops and people, and the road is full of traffic, and there is a lively noise everywhere.

The carriage drove slowly out of the city, and there were no accidents along the way......
