"Luo Ning, Ran Qing, Yu Tian, the three of you go and help the Sky Eagle Pavilion, I won't go."

After packing up Nie Yuanshan's relics, Chen Che said softly,

"Okay, don't worry, go back, you can go back, we will take good care of the Sky Eagle Pavilion."

Luo Ning said in a solemn tone.

With that, he glanced at the other two, and then directly took off into the air and flew in the direction of the battlefield where the Sky Eagle Pavilion was located.

The other two followed, and it wasn't long before the three disappeared into the sky.

Chen Che looked at the turbulent sky in the distance and secretly clenched his fists.

……

Time passed slowly, and the Great Qin and the Demon Kingdom fought fiercely for a whole day, leaving millions of corpses on both sides around the border, and finally the Demon Kingdom could not support it at the first time and began to retreat.

Daqin's side took advantage of the victory to pursue, and did not stop until he was a hundred miles deep into the realm of the demon country.

There is no way, after a day of fighting, the armies of Great Qin are also extremely tired, and it is already the limit to pursue so far.

……

Another day passed.

In the palace of the Great Qin Imperial City, Emperor Qin is gathering all his ministers to discuss meritorious deeds.

Although Daqin's side won this battle miserably, it was a victory.

If nothing else, there will be no more fighting on the border between the two countries in the coming year.

Great Qin can also take this opportunity to recuperate.

After the reward for meritorious deeds was completed, the ministers retreated, and only the nine great martial saints of Great Qin were left in the main hall.

Qin Ying couldn't hold back anymore at this time, and directly said angrily to Ning Hong: "Ning Hong, you should give me an explanation now, right?"

With your strength, why did you make a mistake in the face of that flame and cause my disciple to almost die? ”

Ning Hong's expression was calm, and he said, "At that time, that Yanyan suddenly performed a killing move, and I couldn't help it.

However, this is indeed my negligence, and I am willing to admit punishment.

In this way, I will take out all the spoils of this battle that should have belonged to me and my command, and transfer them to your Sky Eagle Pavilion as an apology, how about it? ”

The corners of Qin Ying's eyes twitched slightly when he heard this.

Without waiting for him to continue speaking, Luo Tian, the Dao Master of Linghe Dao, said in a rounded circle: "Brother Qin, I know you are angry, but Ning Hong, he definitely didn't mean it.

In addition, there is always no danger in this matter.

Now that we have finally won the battle, and Ning Hong is willing to pay the price for his mistakes, you don't have to dwell on this matter anymore. ”

As soon as his words fell, Emperor Qin also echoed: "Yes, cousin, since Chen Che is fine, and Ning Hong is willing to admit his mistake, then this matter will pass like this." ”

Hearing this, Qin Ying subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Emperor Qin, and a sense of powerlessness rose in his heart.

After this battle is over, hostility between the imperial court faction and Xuanxin Dao may continue.

At this time, Linghe Dao's position will become very important.

Not to mention that Chen Che is not dead, even if Chen Che is dead, Ning Hong is estimated to be fine.

Because he is a martial saint, which side he stands on determines the future direction of Great Qin.

It is impossible for Your Majesty to offend the entire Spirit River for the sake of a dead person.

It was precisely because he understood His Majesty's mind that Ning Hong dared to be so unscrupulous in the Great War.

His Majesty's current posture may have secretly completed some kind of exchange of interests with Linghe Dao.

Qin Ying took a deep breath.

He knew very well in his heart that it was useless for him to be angry at this time, the only thing he could do was to take this opportunity to fight for some more benefits for his apprentice.

Thinking of this, he said with a sullen expression: "Your Majesty, my apprentice has made great contributions in this battle, not only killing the three demi-saints of the Demon Kingdom, but also invisibly boosting the morale of my Great Qin army, I think he should be the first in all armies in terms of merit." ”

Emperor Qin nodded slightly when he heard this.

Qin Ying continued at this time: "Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, there is still a Sacred Heart Fruit in the palace, I think it is quite appropriate to reward this treasure to Chen Che." ”

Hearing this, there was a sudden silence in the hall.

The Sacred Heart Fruit is a heavenly and earthly treasure produced in the Xuantian Secret Realm, and its value is extremely high, and it can even be said to be one of the most precious treasures in the world.

There is no other reason, just because this thing can increase the chance of a demi-saint breaking through to a martial saint.

Although swallowing this thing does not mean that it will definitely be able to achieve a Martial Saint, there is no more precious treasure in the world than this to assist in breaking through to the Martial Saint.

Emperor Qin frowned slightly, and did not agree immediately.

And at this moment, Ning Hong said coldly: "Chen Che's talent is amazing, and his cultivation is the Taiyin True Scripture, if he steps into the Martial Saint Realm, I'm afraid it won't be long before he will be the strongest person in my Great Qin."

Your Majesty, there is something I don't know whether to say or not. ”

"You just say it."

Emperor Qin said.

Ning Hong replied in a calm tone: "I heard that the Great Xia Imperial Family and our Great Qin Imperial Family were once in the same vein.

At the beginning, because of the failure to compete for the throne, the Great Xia royal family went to Great Xia, a sealed place. ”

Qin Ying's face suddenly changed when he heard this.

This is not a secret to the people of the royal family.

Thousands of years ago, Great Qin and Great Xia were actually one country.

Later, the two princes seized the throne, and the losing side went to Great Xia, and with the help of the power of the Gate of Reincarnation, Great Xia was cut off from Great Qin.

So strictly speaking, there are some grievances between the two sides.

But as time passed, these grievances have long since become a thing of the past.

Ning Hong brought it up at this time, obviously wanting His Majesty to be suspicious of Chen Che, who was born in Great Xia......

"Ning Hong, are you sowing discord?"

Emperor Qin's voice suddenly became cold.

Ning Hong hurriedly shook his head and said, "I'm just saying a fact, but I don't mean to sow discord. ”

"Your Majesty, Chen Che is cultivating the Taiyin True Scripture, as long as he can step into the realm of the Martial Saint, our Great Qin will be able to overwhelm the Demon Kingdom immediately......"

Before Qin Ying finished speaking, Emperor Qin waved his hand and said, "Cousin, don't worry, I have my own decision on this matter." ”

Hearing this, Qin Ying was slightly stunned, and then didn't say anything more.

Subsequently, the three parties began to discuss the division of interests.

Xuanxin Dao's meritorious service this time is not small, and it stands to reason that he should obtain the management rights of all the sects in the entire Great Qin in accordance with the previous agreement.

Although this kind of thing cannot be reversed, it can be pulled in terms of details, and the three parties argued for half an hour.

……

Half an hour later, the six martial saints of Xuanxin Dao and Linghe Dao left, and there were only three people left in the main hall.

Qin Ying was just about to speak, but Emperor Qin suddenly spoke: "Cousin, Linghe Dao has decided to favor our side.

Therefore, although Xuanxin Dao has obtained the management rights of all the sects of Great Qin, and its strength will increase greatly, we can still suppress them. ”

Qin Ying was silent for a long time after hearing this, and finally sighed heavily.

"Your Majesty...... I know very well what my disciple is.

If he can step into the realm of martial saints, we can also suppress the Xuanxin Dao. ”

"But no matter what he says, after all, he is from Great Xia."

Emperor Qin muttered.

Now that the hall is full of his own people, there is no need for him to hide his inner thoughts.

"It's true that he is from Great Xia, but the two ends of the Linghe River are the first rats, can they be trusted?"

Qin Ying asked rhetorically.

Emperor Qin shook his head slightly, and after a moment he gently patted the armrest of the seat, and then a young woman in a white palace dress walked in.

Seeing this young woman, Emperor Qin had a surging smile on his face.

"Ling Yao, you have met your cousin's disciple Chen Che a few times, what do you think of him?"

Princess Lingyao was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then lowered her head and replied: "Gongzi Chen has outstanding talent and amazing strength, and no one in my younger generation of Daqin can match it." ”

"How about I marry you to him?"

Emperor Qin asked with a smile.

"Huh?"

Princess Lingyao covered her mouth and exclaimed, then lowered her head and said softly: "Let my father arrange it." ”

As a princess born in the royal family, she knows very well that she doesn't have much of a choice.

Not to mention that her father wants to marry her to a top genius like Chen Che, even if he wants to marry her to an unknown person, she can only answer like this.

The father and emperor looked amiable on the surface, but after all, he was a martial saint and the king of a country, if he dared to disobey him, even if she was the daughter of his father, the end would be extremely miserable.

Qin Ying next to him frowned slightly when he heard this.

That's when he reacted.

No wonder when the competition for Yunlong Ding was in the beginning, His Majesty wanted to bring Princess Lingyao over...... It turns out that His Majesty was already paving the way for the present.

It is true that Chen Che is a martial artist of Great Xia, but as long as he marries Princess Lingyao, it can be regarded as completely bound to the royal family, and His Majesty can fully trust him.

So it's not so much a marriage as a vote.

Emperor Qin looked at Qin Ying at this time, and said with a smile: "Cousin, go back and ask Chen Che if he is willing to marry my daughter Lingyao?"

If he is willing, I can take out the Sacred Heart Fruit as Ling Yao's dowry. ”

Qin Ying sighed in his heart when he heard this.

Things turned out exactly as he had imagined.

But doesn't Your Majesty know that those who can achieve martial saints are proud in their hearts?

Unless you really have feelings, how can you marry a woman you haven't met a few times for the sake of the Sacred Heart Fruit?

If you do that, then your heart will be gone.

Without the heart, if you have the Sacred Heart Fruit, you may not be able to step into the realm of the Martial Saint.

Alas......

Your Majesty is a martial saint, why don't you know this truth?

But he just has to do this, because only by doing this can it be the safest for him and for the entire Great Qin.

After a moment of silence, Qin Ying replied in a deep voice: "I will go back and talk to him about this matter." ”

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news, cousin.

As for Chen Che's reward...... Ling Yao, bring me the catalog of my royal vault. ”

Emperor Qin said with a smile.

When Princess Lingyao heard this, she immediately retreated, and it didn't take long for her to walk in with a booklet.

After Emperor Qin took the booklet, he began to circle dots on it, and it didn't take long to circle seven or eight precious and abnormal treasures.

"It's good to reward Chen Che with these, cousin, you can take a look and see if it's enough."

Emperor Qin said and sent the booklet to Qin Ying.

Qin Ying took the booklet and looked at it, and sighed lightly in his heart.

His Majesty circled a total of eight treasures, all of which were priceless treasures that were extremely precious without exception.

But none of them can help break through to the Martial Saint realm.

"That's enough, I'll thank Your Majesty for the reward on behalf of Chen Che."

Qin Ying closed the booklet and said softly.

What His Majesty thinks, it is already obvious.

He also knew that it was useless to say anything at this point.

"That's enough, let's stop here for today."

Emperor Qin stood up as he spoke, and then walked out of the main hall.

After he left, Lin Sheng comforted Qin Ying a few words, and then also retreated.

Qin Ying stayed silently in the main hall alone, and after a long time, he left the main hall.

……

Half a day later.

Qin Ying personally came to Zhenyuan City.

In front of the City Lord's Mansion, the guards were patrolling, and when they saw the Pavilion Lord coming, several guards immediately fell to one knee on the ground.

"See the Pavilion Master."

Qin Ying waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, what about the deputy pavilion master?" ”

"Deputy Pavilion Master, he's cultivating ......"

Speaking of this, the guard at the head paused and added, "The deputy pavilion master has been cultivating since he came back. ”

Qin Ying nodded and said, "Go and call him, just say I'll wait for him in the study." ”

"Yes."

The guard immediately answered, and then walked quickly into the City Lord's Mansion.

……

A moment later, in front of the door of the study of the City Lord's Mansion, Chen Che pushed the door open.

As soon as he entered, he saw Qin Ying flipping through the ledger of Zhenyuan City.

"Master......"

Chen Che bowed.

Qin Ying didn't look up, but just smiled and said, "Chen Che, it's too unexpected for you to step into the half-saint realm so quickly.

Also, you take care of this town quite well. ”

"Thank you Master for the compliment, I don't know ...... Feng Yijun's side"

Chen Che asked softly.

Qin Ying raised his head and replied, "The Fengyi Army is already on the way, and from now on, the Fengyi Army will be under the command of my Heavenly Eagle Pavilion. ”

Hearing this, Chen Che breathed a sigh of relief.

The Fengyi army broke away from the Xuanxin Dao and returned to the Heavenly Eagle Pavilion...... This can be regarded as a liberation from the sea of suffering.

In the future, the Fengyi army will no longer need to rely on desperate efforts to survive.

If Senior Nie had a spirit in the sky, he would be very pleased.

Qin Ying continued at this time: "Chen Che, I came today mainly for two things.

The first thing is to give you a reward for Your Majesty. ”

As he spoke, Qin Ying took out a wooden box from under the table and put it on the table in front of him.

"You have made a great contribution this time, Your Majesty has always rewarded and punished clearly, and this time is no exception.

It's all priceless, and it's hard for anyone else to get one, and there's eight of them. ”

"Master, thank Your Majesty on my behalf."

Chen Che thanked him.

Qin Ying sighed lightly and said, "The matter of Yan Yan, the patriarch of the Yanlong clan, Yan Yan sneaking up on you, is indeed Ning Hong's fault, he has already accepted the punishment...... In addition, this time, all the rewards and booties he received under his command were also sent to my Aquila Pavilion as a gift.

I'll give you all these things, and you can use them to improve the strength of the Fengyi Army. ”

"Okay, thank you Master for fighting for your disciple."

Chen Che thanked again.

Although he didn't see it, he knew very well in his heart that Master must have helped him say a lot.

As for Ning Hong himself not being punished, this was completely unexpected by him.

Seeing that Chen Che didn't ask anything more, Qin Ying felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

This disciple of him is so smart, he must have already understood everything, right?

"Master, what's the second thing?"

Chen Che took the initiative to skip this topic.

Hearing this, Qin Ying glanced at Chen Che deeply, and said in a solemn tone: "Chen Che, Your Majesty wants to marry Princess Lingyao to you, and use the Sacred Heart Fruit as a dowry......"
