Chapter 335: New Year
When you come to the palace, you will be led by the guards into the main hall, and you can see that there are long tables lined up neatly on both sides, on which various delicacies are placed. Behind the table, there were various princes and ministers, representatives of various principalities, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo were also among them, sitting at the top of the row on the left.
Only in the front on the right side, there is still a table hanging empty, looking at Ning Fengzhi's side from afar.
Under the eyes of everyone, Dugu Bo and Lin Manshan stepped forward and sat down.
Immediately, Qian Lingxue, who was sitting in the main seat, spoke.
The content is very simple, for many years, the Heaven Dou Empire has been in decline in the struggle of the Star Luo Empire, and the reason for this is that the various principalities in the country are independent, the troops are scattered, and they have not been uniformly deployed and organized and trained, whether it is synergy or combat power, it is inferior. In short, the military power is surrendered.
In addition, the empire needs to count the population of the country once, ask the principalities to hand in the roster, and so on.
can dominate a country alone, and the kings of each principality are naturally not stupid. In fact, from Qianrenxue's many previous moves, the royal families of the various princes guessed that Qianrenxue might attack them. Therefore, all the delegates sent to this banquet were sent.
It is said that a tiger with a tooth is not as good as a dog, and no one will want to hand over military power and a series of autonomy.
After Qian Lingxue finished speaking, without exception, all the principality representatives on the field raised objections.
For this, Dugu Bo didn't beep, and as soon as the momentum opened, the air was suddenly quiet.
Including Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo.
"Dugu Bo's strength has become stronger again." Under this momentum, Sword Douluo only felt like an ant.
This was something he had never experienced in Tang Chen and Qiandaoliu back then.
Could it be that Dugu Bo is already impacting that step? I couldn't help but have a thought in my heart.
Becoming a god at the 100th level is undoubtedly the ultimate pursuit of all soul masters.
On the other side, seeing that everyone was silent, Dugu Bo retracted his momentum indifferently.
Qian Lingxue took advantage of the situation to speak, "What the emperor just said is not discussing, but informing"
Either agree and enjoy the glory and wealth. Either oppose it, or even raise troops to rebel, and the whole family dies in defeat.
The threat is obvious.
After listening to the delegates, they said that they would definitely bring their words.
Qian Lingxue nodded, in the capitals of the principalities, she had already asked the Martial Spirit Hall to arrange a secret sentinel, and the senior soul master in charge of the assassination was also in place. When these representatives go back to show that if the royal families are opposed, they will definitely fall to the ground that night.
"Don't worry, a few lords" began to say good things to sweet dates.
The New Year's message was then read out and the banquet was announced.
In the singing and dancing of the young ladies, everyone began to move chopsticks. After eating and drinking, Lin Manshan and the three of them ran away as soon as possible.
After returning home, I chatted with a few girls about what happened at the banquet, and then went back to the room to practice.
A few days later, the official Chinese New Year, Lin Manshan took his daughters to visit Old Jack.
At this time, Old Jack and his wife Chunyan were both over 80 years old, and although their bodies were still tough under the drugs he refined, they were already old. After all, he is not a soul master, he has a poor foundation, and whether it is medicine, life energy, or soul power, it is irretrievable from a person's foundation. At such a time, all he can do is to take more time to watch.
It is better to accompany and do filial piety more during his life no matter what, than to cry and cry at the grave after death, which is what he has always believed.
For Lin Manshan's arrival, the two old men were naturally happy, and they shouted with their father-in-law and mother-in-law.
On the other side, the daughters and sisters-in-law were amusing around the third child of the fourth Jemon.
"Perhaps, it's time to have a baby?" Although several elders never said it explicitly, Lin Manshan could feel it, and the elders were looking forward to the birth of his child. For soul masters like them, cultivating to improve their strength is the first priority. But for ordinary people like Old Jack, it is the most comforting thing for children and grandchildren to get married, and even treat it as a certain responsibility.
Like some of the older generation in the previous life, the children are older and have not yet married, and they always feel that some kind of obligation has not been completed, and they have regrets.
That's why in the previous life, there was a saying that I would return to my hometown for the New Year and first pass through the village to urge the marriage army.
I couldn't help but think of this stubble in my heart, and I swept away a few women, and finally stayed on Shui Bing'er, and at the same time, Bibi Dong's figure flashed in my mind, one has achieved the title, and the other has become a god, which will not affect cultivation too much, and is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
"Ah Dong is too far away, I shouldn't have missed the situation last time, let's go back and discuss it with Bing'er in the evening." Inner secrets.
In the evening, after having dinner with Old Jack's family, Lin Manshan returned to the small courtyard with several daughters.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, Lin Manshan got up early and prepared to make a good meal for Shui Bing'er.
On the big bed, Shui Bing'er was lying on her stomach and lifted a slit in the bedding, looking at the bedroom door where Lin Manshan had just left, and gently supporting her lower abdomen with her hand, stunned.
At this moment, there was a sudden fluctuation of energy in the body, and the figure of the Ice Emperor manifested in front of him.
"This guy is just too much."
The small face is angry, and it is the quintessence of the country as soon as it is exported. She hadn't slept well all night, and she couldn't help but want to curse.
“.” So, you've seen it all these months? Shui Bing'er's pretty face suddenly turned as ruddy as blood, and she burrowed into the bed.
Didn't you say that the consciousness would be closed? How do you still know, is there a peek? Inner thoughts are full of thoughts.
“??? Sister Bing'er, what's wrong with you? The Ice Emperor turned around, his cute face showing a confused expression.
"It's okay" Shui Bing'er didn't want to pay attention to her, hiding in the quilt and not coming out.
“???” The Ice Emperor didn't know why, but after scolding, his anger was half gone, and he returned to the soul ring silently.
Not long after, the sound of Lin Manshan shouting to eat came from outside the door, and Shui Bing'er responded lightly, reopened the futon, got up and got dressed and got out of bed.
While dressing, he said in his heart, "I have to find a time to talk to Xue'er and Sister Bi'er." ”
Half an hour later, after eating and drinking, I watched Lin Manshan walk into the cultivation room and return to the bedroom by himself.
"Sister Bi'er, Sister Xue'er, are you there?"
Whisper into the air.
"What's wrong? Sister Bing'er" Ice Emperor appeared first, and Snow Emperor appeared later.
"Sister Bi'er, Sister Xue'er, what do you think, how is Aman?" Shui Bing'er asked tentatively.
Things have happened, and everything that should be seen is estimated to have been watched, and they will have to stay together for a long time in the future, Sister Bi'er and Sister Xue'er are two girls again.
She felt that there was only one solution to the matter.
"Not a good guy anyway." The Ice Emperor blurted out.
If you say this kind of thing in front of me, it's really good for Shui Bing'er to choke suddenly.
is different from the Ice Emperor, who has a straightforward personality, the Snow Emperor, who has a relatively plain temperament, understood Shui Bing'er's deep meaning at the first time, and his mind couldn't help but think of last night's experience, and his pretty face was slightly red. But after calming down and thinking about it, she had to admit that for the soul beast clan, this was a good thing. And for herself, she couldn't help but feel a little dazed in her heart, she had never thought about this kind of thing for a long time.
There was neither any revulsion nor much joy, but a special emotion subconsciously rose in my heart.
In human terms, it should be shy.
As for why those images flashed in her mind at such a time, giving birth to such emotions, she didn't know and didn't understand.
In the middle of her thoughts, Shui Bing'er's gaze had already passed.
The Snow Emperor frowned slightly, groaned, and then shook his head a little blankly, "I don't know." ”
Some of your answers are not what you asked, right? The Ice Emperor looked at the Snow Emperor with some puzzlement.
Shui Bing'er realized it instantly, turned her head to look at the Ice Emperor again, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, "After all, the time that Sister Xue'er and Sister Bi'er came to the human world is still too short, and they haven't fully comprehended human emotions, so it's better to be natural for the time being." ”
Thinking of this, he said with a smile: "Sister Bi'er, I'm afraid you have some misunderstanding of Aman, but in fact, Aman is very good." ”
"Anyway, it's okay now, why don't I tell you the story of Aman?"
"Okay." Emperor Xue nodded slightly, she was indeed quite curious about Lin Manshan.
To be able to achieve such an achievement at such a young age must have had an extraordinary experience.
"Then listen to it." The Ice Emperor said very casually.
So, Shui Bing'er began to speak.
The innate soul power is level 3, the firewood knife martial soul, and the soul skill cannot be generated, so it all depends on self-creation. The more the Snow Emperor listened, the more surprised he became, and when he heard that Lin Manshan could refine the pill to make the high-level soul beast break through the 100,000 cultivation mark, his face suddenly turned solemn. The 100,000-year mark, which is a heavenly barrier for the vast majority of soul beasts. Moreover, in the land of the extreme north, there are many such high-level soul beasts.
And breaking through 100,000 years of cultivation is related to what Lin Manshan said about opening the road to godhood.
If you can get Lin Manshan's help, the soul beasts that can become gods in the soul beast clan will definitely increase a lot.
Even if the purpose of his original research was to study this kind of soul ring for 100,000 years, but due to the limitations of the rules, the number of soul rings required by Lin Manshan and his party was limited after all.
Therefore, in the long run, Lin Manshan's alchemy technique will far outweigh the disadvantages for the soul beast clan.
Unexpectedly, on the other side of this Lin Manshan Mountain, the Ice Emperor meditated in his heart.
It can almost be said that the current Tianxing Academy, including Shui Bing'er and Dugu Bo, who has become a god, are all supported by Lin Manshan.
Without Lin Manshan, there would be nothing Tianxing Academy has today.
From a humble background, he was able to achieve today's achievements step by step, and was even chosen by God, which is simply legendary.
After the story was told, glancing at the silent expressions of the two, Shui Bing'er couldn't help but smile.
There is no doubt that the two of them have improved their senses for their own Aman.
After waiting for a few seconds, seeing that the two of them still didn't speak, Shui Bing'er couldn't help but remind her and diverted the topic, "Sister Xue'er, Sister Bi'er, it's time for me to cultivate." ”
"Well, then I'll go back first." The Snow Emperor nodded, and disappeared in contemplation.
"I'm going back too." The Ice Emperor twisted his face, a little unconvinced, and his figure disappeared illusory.
In the next few days, Lin Manshan took a few girls to visit the rest of the houses one by one. For a period of time after that, he basically stayed at Old Jack's house during the day, accompanying Old Jack and his wife to chat with his stepfather and mother-in-law.
It wasn't until the end of the year that a piece of news that shocked the entire Heaven Dou City suddenly came.
The Barak Kingdom, which was close to the border, actually intended to take refuge in the Star Luo Empire. Moreover, the officials sent to negotiate have been captured, and the king's personal letter to the enemy has been intercepted.
The members of the royal family of the Barak Kingdom, except for some old and young women and children, have now been completely wiped out.
On the day the news broke, the king's handwritten letter was also rubbed and pasted on bulletin boards all over Heaven Dou City.
At the same time, tens of thousands of elite knights of the empire marched mightily to the kingdom of Barak.
Obviously, this is intended to take over the military and government, and at the same time guard the border passes, in case the Star Luo Empire does something.
In addition, there were also a group of disciples of the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Sect who went with him.
Ning Fengzhi expressed his attitude with practical actions.
That night, Qianrenxue's urgent handwritten letter hurried out of the city, and the direction was the remaining principalities.
It can be seen with a clear eye that this is an ultimatum, and if the reply is not satisfactory, the royal family of the Barak Kingdom is a precedent. Several major principalities may have their own armies, but the high-end combat power is very little, can't kill not only the army, but also the royal family?
The Imperial Family was really determined to straighten out its internal affairs this time, and almost everyone in Heaven Dou City was talking about it that night.
Some people think that the emperor has done it, so he should not have slaughtered so many people.
There are also those who are excited, believing that under the new emperor, the empire will soon become stronger.
In the palace, Xue Ye, who was already old and frail and lying in bed, was very relieved after getting the news. Especially from the mouth of the Xueqing River, I learned that the soul master sent to slaughter the Barak royal family was a person from Tianxing Academy. This action was secretly supported by Dugu Bo.
Tianxing Academy takes running a school as its purpose, and cannot explicitly send people to support it.
As for the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Sect, they directly sent people to support, and even Contra Douluo produced several of them.
This undoubtedly means that his son Xue Qinghe has been able to fight between the two forces and benefit the empire.
On the other side, the avalanche that was kept by Qian Renxue to stabilize Xue Ye, Xue Xing and other heavyweight royals ran to the mansion of Prince Xue Xing for comfort in a trembling manner.
For this, Xuexing was also helpless, so he could only say some good things casually.
In fact, he himself panicked. After all, he was clearly concerned about Avalanche in the first place.
He was really afraid that Qian Lingxue would solve several major principalities and unify the internal affairs of the empire and attack them as royals.
can run away, the Barak royal family far away on the border can be scolded, he, who is under the nose of Heaven Dou City, can run away?
In the face of Qian Lingxue, who had already received the support of the two top forces of the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Sect and the Tianxing Academy, he really had no choice.
Time passed day by day in this situation, where some people were happy and some were worried.
Soon, news came from several major principalities that they were willing to surrender military power and autonomy.
Qianyue was not ambiguous, and announced the next day that she would reserve the title of the prince and the royal family, in short, she had nothing but no soldiers and no power.
Subsequently, people began to be sent to hand over the work.
It was during those days that the people of Heaven Dou City could see the Empire's exclusive carriage driving out of the city gate every day.
At the same time, the court of the Star Luo Empire, the ministers quarreled into a pot of porridge.
"Your Majesty, that Xue Qinghe must have a great plan to rectify domestic affairs with such a thunderous means. If it is left unchecked, when Xue Qinghe clears the obstacles and realizes the unification of the military and the government, the national strength of the Heaven Dou Empire will inevitably be greatly improved in a short period of time. ”
"And after that, it's hard to guarantee that he won't have the mind to attack the Star Luo Empire."
"Yes, Your Majesty, although my Star Luo Empire has a strong army, the number of soul masters is not much, especially at the level of high-level soul masters. And the Heaven Dou Empire, the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, which clearly supports the royal family, will not mention it for the time being. Dugu Bo of Tianxing Academy is a level 99 peerless Douluo, and he is good at poisonous attacks, and has the power to destroy the country and slaughter the city. If he participates in it, or even attacks the imperial capital, the consequences are unpredictable. ”
“.”
After arguing and arguing, a minister suddenly spoke, "Your Majesty, why don't you send someone to contact those three?" ”
When the words fell, the court suddenly fell silent.
"This matter will be discussed later, retreat!"
The Emperor threw up his sleeves and left with a gloomy face.
