It didn't take long for Li Yunyang to come to the palace with Caparos's head.

After waiting for half a salary, Li Yunyang was asked to meet the king. Now, the news that it was Li Yunyang who killed Caparos has not yet spread, so the king still wants to urgently know that Yiqiqi has information about this, and Li Yunyang is the one who may know the information, so how can he not care.

Soon, Li Yunyang came to the king's study, and at this time, in addition to the king, there were two people in the king's study.

One of them was a middle-aged man, with a cunning brilliance flowing from his face, and for some reason, there was a bit of hostility in his expression when he looked at Li Yunyang. The other was a young man with a large knife hanging from his back, and the large knife was as high as the others, making it difficult to imagine that such a thin man could have such a weapon.

After that, after Li Yunyang saluted the king, the king nodded and said to him: "These two are Duke Holt and Baron Centro!"

As soon as he heard the words "Duke Holt", Li Yunyang raised his head. Duke Holt's words, which he knew very well, were the man who sent people to his Pirka territory to cause trouble. I didn't expect to see him in the palace.

Duke Holt naturally noticed Li Yunyang's gaze, but his expression still did not change in the slightest, if it weren't for the obvious hostility still flowing in his eyes, Li Yunyang would even wonder if this Duke Holt was the same person as Duke Holt who had a black hand against him.

Since Duke Holt didn't turn his face on the spot, Li Yunyang naturally wouldn't take the initiative to target him, otherwise, he could only make excuses for the other party to deal with him.

"Viscount Allen, do you remember that mission last time?" the king was obviously very anxious, and before he could exchange pleasantries with Allen, he went straight to the point, obviously, he was going to ask Li Yunyang soon if he knew any information about the killing of Caparos.

"Fortunately, I am not dishonored!" Before the king could ask, Li Yunyang took the initiative to answer, and then opened the box, and immediately Caparos's head appeared in front of the king, Duke Holt, and Baron Centro.

Seeing Caparos's head, the king immediately looked surprised and looked at Li Yunyang in amazement. Although he explained this task to Li Yunyang, he didn't really expect him to be able to complete it. After all, he actually knows best how strong Caparos is. He had already sent an unknown number of masters to kill him, but those people returned in vain, and he didn't expect to be planted in Li Yunyang's hands, which seemed incredible.

On the contrary, Duke Holt, although he was also surprised on the surface, but there was no trace of surprise in his pupils, as if he had already known about it.

Looking at this point, Li Yunyang immediately understood, I am afraid that Baron Holt is the person behind Xinwa, which can explain why he has so much hatred for losing Li Yunyang. After all, if Li Yunyang hadn't ruined his good deeds, he would have asked Xinwa to bring Caparos back, and all the gains would be his.

It was because Li Yunyang intervened that he didn't get anything, so he put his hostility on Li Yunyang, which is not surprising.

After a long time, the king slowly reacted and looked at Li Yunyang with a surprised face, and only after half a salary did he say: "Viscount Allen did a good job, oh no, I should call you Marquis Allen now......"

"Your Majesty, I have an objection!" said the king, when Duke Holt spoke.

"Oh, what is Hulter's opinion?" asked the King.

Duke Holt pointed at Li Yunyang and said, "Viscount Allen is still too young, although his merits are great, but his experience is inevitably insufficient, I think it's a bit too early to make Viscount Allen a marquis now......"

For Duke Holt, it is naturally no problem to be an enemy of a viscount, but if it is an opponent of a marquis, then even he will be a little broken. After all, a viscount and a marquis are two completely different concepts.

The viscount can only be regarded as a low-level nobleman, and he does not have much status in the Star Empire. But the marquis is different, the marquis is definitely the nobles in the upper echelons of the empire, each of them has a lot of power, and his status is second only to the duke except for the king. Such an identity is enough for him to have enough status in the empire to protect himself.

After all, a marquis, for the empire, is also a store that cannot be lightly compromised!

Therefore, Duke Holt made up his mind that Li Yunyang could not be allowed to obtain the status of a marquis. Although Li Yunyang now meets the standards in terms of merit and territory, as long as he is still a viscount, he directly sends troops to him as a duke, and no one will say anything for him.

When the king heard the words of Duke Holt, he also had a headache. In fact, he was not very reluctant to hand over the identity of the marquis to Li Yunyang, but this is something that he personally promised before, the so-called Jun has no jokes, if he loses his trust here, I am afraid that his prestige as the lord of the empire will be greatly reduced in the future.

"In that case, His Majesty the King, I still have a Jianyì. Duke Holt continued.

"What?"

"We can test Viscount Allen's temperament, if it is tested by Guò, it will naturally prove that he has enough strength to be a marquis, but if he does not have Guò, it means that he still needs to be tempered, and the matter of the Marquis can be postponed and discussed......"

Hearing this, the king nodded, and then asked, "But how can this heart be tested?"

"Three Gates!"

The three words that Duke Holt spat out made the king's face change.

The so-called three gates are an extremely difficult test in the palace, a test of the mind, and everyone receives a completely different test. However, there is only one thing that is the same, and that is that the person who passes the guò test must be a person who has rich life experience and has a lot of insight into the world. The youngest people in the past were in their fifties.

Therefore, Duke Holt proposed this assessment, which is not undemanding, after all, Li Yunyang's age in this world is less than twenty years old, and it is basically impossible to pass this kind of test.

After thinking for a while, the king nodded and agreed with Duke Holt.

Li Yunyang frowned, but after thinking about it, with his experience in two lives, although his age is still a little insufficient, his experience is indeed not lower than that of people in their fifties and sixties, and he may not be able to pass this test. Moreover, if he did not agree, I was afraid that the king and the Duke of Holt would have the opportunity to openly suppress him, so in the end, he nodded.

It didn't take long for Li Yunyang to come to the three gates under the leadership of the king and Duke Holt.

The Three Gates, as the name suggests, are made up of three overlapping doors connected by each other. The three doors come together to form an eerie atmosphere that invisibly blocks people out.

Before he really entered, Li Yunyang felt a huge pressure coming from inside the door, and his expression suddenly became heavy.

He understands that even if he is a human being in two lives, and his experience is definitely not small, it may still be an extremely difficult thing to pass the test of the three gates.

However, now that he has come here, there is no possibility for him to back down. All he has to do after that is to try to get through the guò level!

Once he becomes a marquis, not to mention Duke Holt, it is the king himself, and he has to weigh himself if he wants to move. The title of Marquis is not false!

Then he took a heavy breath and stepped into the three doors.

As soon as he stepped through the first door, he felt chaos in front of him, and then, he couldn't see anything clearly, there was no color in his eyes, not even black. It is difficult for him to describe the current feeling, but he only knows that this is an extremely mysterious situation.

In addition, his chest was also inexplicably stuffy, and a sense of powerlessness surged in his heart.

Unhappily, soon, this feeling of powerlessness dissipated, and what appeared in front of me at this time was an open vision.

After his vision was clear, Li Yunyang saw an old man with white hair and white beard standing straight in front of him, revealing a masterful atmosphere.

Li Yunyang took a step forward and asked, "Are you ......?"

The old man glanced at him calmly and said slowly, "You are the one who participated in the Three Gates Test this time?"

Li Yunyang nodded.

"It's really young...... the old man couldn't help but sigh, and then his expression was filled with a burst of nostalgia, and his eyes were in the distance, as if he was recalling something.

Li Yunyang didn't interrupt him, just quietly waiting for him to explain to himself.

"It's been a long time since I've seen such a young person come to participate in the test of the Three Gates......," the old man said, "However, there is no age limit for the test of the Three Gates, so you can take the test, but don't be too confident in the results......

"Yes!" Li Yunyang respectfully agreed.

Then, the old man continued: "The test of the three gates is extracted from the depths of everyone's heart, so just now you feel a strange feeling, that is, the three doors are extracting your heart. Go now, the three tests should have been set, as long as you guess who the three people simulated by the three gates are, and come out of that artistic conception, you can be regarded as a test of guò, good luck......"

"Thank you senior!" With a respectful roar, Li Yunyang stepped towards the mysterious door that appeared in front of him.
