Chapter 46: The Palace Gamble
......In the palace covering an area of millions of square meters in the center of the imperial capital, a palace guard rushed all the way from the palace gate to the imperial study.
In front of the door of the imperial study, there was a row of golden armor waiting for the guards, stopping the palace guards.
"Let him in!" a deep voice came from the study.
"Yes!" the golden armor waited for the guard, and then let the palace guard into the imperial study.
The palace guard didn't dare to raise his head after entering the door, carefully looked at his feet, walked to the center of the hall, and knelt on the ground: "Emperor Qi, then Ning Lin has rushed to the north gate, and was stopped by Zhao Jiesheng, the son of the war gun, and the two of them will meet for a decisive battle in the north city after a stick of incense!"
Sitting in the middle of the hall was Zhou Juede, the emperor of the Glacier Empire! I saw him dressed in a bright yellow five-clawed dragon robe, his face was like a silver moon, his nose was like a hanging gall, and his eyes were like a bright star. On either side of it sat two old men, one with white temples, like an old farmer in the mountains, and the other with a white beard, like an immortal.
The three of them were stunned when they heard the palace guard's report. Then the old man with gray temples smiled slightly, like a neighbor, amiable. The white-bearded old man was angry, and he no longer had the power of an immortal.
"Ning Aiqing, it seems that your Ning family is indeed a thousand miles away! Not only is it a good cultivation, but this will is even more outstanding!" Zhou Jue Deha smiled and said.
Ning Lin's little caution was just a child's trick in the eyes of the three of them, and only arrogant people like Zhao Jiewei would be fooled.
"Thank you for your praise, it's just that this Ning Lin has been away from home with his father Ning Qiu since he was a child, and the Ning family has not fulfilled his responsibilities, and I feel ashamed as a grandfather!" Don't look at him as simple, but if you really think of him as a deceitful person, he will tell you with blood how wrong you have been!
"Hmph!" another white-bearded old man snorted coldly when he heard this, expressing his dissatisfaction. He is none other than Zhao Shengcun, the patriarch of the Zhao family!
"Zhao Aiqing doesn't have to worry, although Ning Lin has used some small means, but I heard that after Jiewei retreats for a month, his strength is even stronger than before, it seems that it won't take long for my glacier empire to produce another immortal!"
"My Zhao family is willing to smear my emperor's liver and brain at any time and live up to the emperor's grace!" Zhao Shengcun got up and replied with a deep salute to Zhou Juede.
"Zhao Aiqing, please take a seat! Zhao and Ning are the cornerstones of the empire! Ning Lin and Jie Wei are also geniuses, and the future of the empire depends on them, do the two Aiqing have to look farther and fight to the death?"
As the emperor of the Glacier Empire, Zhou Juede seems to be beautiful, but in fact it is not easy. If it weren't for the fact that the strength of the imperial family was obviously superior to that of the major families, I am afraid that this throne would not be stable! More importantly, there were not only immortals in this other world, but also the major immortal sects and countless hidden immortals, once they annoyed that immortal, it might directly affect the survival of the country! At the same time, the Glacier Empire was also an external and internal trouble, not only bordering the beast race Beamon Empire, but also adjacent to the other two human empires. Although the major empires have not started a war for many years, the small friction on the border has never been broken. The major families in the country are also uneasy, although they will not rebel, but they are all planning more interests for the family with their own small calculations, and even the Zhou royal family is helpless!
"Emperor Qi, my Ning family is willing to reconcile, but I don't know what Brother Zhao wants!" Ningbo is also very worried about Ning Lin's safety, if it can be reconciled, of course, it is the best.
"Qi Qi my emperor, it's not that my Zhao family is unwilling to reconcile, it's really that Ning Lin is too deceitful, he has killed five strong people in the blood clotting period of my Zhao family, and there are countless martial artists below the blood clotting stage, how can my Zhao family base themselves on the empire if they don't kill Ning Lin!"
Although Zhao Shengcun knew that Ning Lin had played Zhao Jiewei by being clever, in the face of absolute strength, these tactics were of no use at all! I believe that under Zhao Jiewei's spear, Ning Lin'er would be lucky to leave all the corpses behind, let alone enter the city!
"Alas!" Zhou Juede sighed, this kind of thing is really not good to persuade again.
"Since Brother Zhao refuses to give up, then I have to ask again, what if Ning Lin enters the imperial capital safely?"
"My Zhao family and that kid will never die!" Zhao Shengcun gritted his teeth and said. In addition to Zhao Jiewei, the best Zhao Jiefeng was abolished, and Zhao Jiehai was killed, these are all his own grandsons, how can Zhao Shengcun swallow this evil breath!
"Then there is nothing to say! My Ning family and your Zhao family are also immortal!" How could Ningbo watch his own grandson die at the hands of the Zhao family? In this world, the family is the biggest, and for the sake of the family, even if it is impossible to rebel!
The two old guys were like two fighting cocks at this time, glaring at each other fiercely. If it weren't for Zhou Juede still sitting in the hall, I'm afraid I would be able to do it immediately!
"The two Aiqing listen to me......" Zhou Juede didn't expect that the two would not give up in front of him, and even made an oath that he would not die. The Zhao family and the Ning family are the leading big families in the empire, and their power is all over the entire empire, and the army controlled by the two families alone is as many as one million, if it really fights, the entire empire will fall into turmoil, and if a neighbor takes the opportunity to invade, the glacier empire may be destroyed!
Zhao Shengcun and Ningbo stopped when they heard the emperor's words, but they still ignored anyone, no one obeyed anyone, and they looked at each other angrily!
Zhou Juede couldn't help but shake his head secretly, the clan was so powerful, even if he was the king of a country, he couldn't force the two to let go of their prejudices. Of course, it is even more impossible to attack the two major families because of this, after all, they are all big families that have been inherited for thousands of years, and no one knows how much strength the two families have accumulated over the past few thousand years, I am afraid that even the immortals have hidden a few!
"Two Aiqing, don't make a big move because of this, ruin the clan lineage, and shake the country! It's better for the two of you to compete three times, the topic is set by the three of us, two wins in three games, and the loser will compensate the winner with five million gold coins, how do the two Aiqing think!"
"Emperor Qiqi, can it be that five million gold coins can buy the lives of the victims of my Zhao family? Then Ning Lin will not get rid of the hatred in my heart! It is better to take that Ning Lin as a bet, if my Zhao family wins, I will let Ning Lin lose his life, if he loses, this matter will be stopped......
"Think of a beautiful thing! If you win, my Ning family will offer an outstanding disciple, but if you lose, you will only give up? Why don't you take Zhao Jiewei as a bet, if my Ning family wins, let Zhao Jiewei commit suicide in front ......of the palace."
"Slap!" With a crisp sound, Zhao Shengcun pointed at Ningbo and trembled his beard with anger, "Don't deceive people too much! How can Ning Lin be compared with my Jiewei? If it is three years later, or half a year soon, my Jiewei will definitely be able to break through to become an immortal, and how can it be compared to Ning Lin!"
"Ning Aiqing's words are really inappropriate, Zhao Jiewei is the disciple of my Glacier Empire who has the most hope of breaking through to an immortal, how can he use it as a bet? Not to mention that there is also his master, if he annoys that scattered immortal because of this, I am afraid that my Glacier Empire will be invincible! Ning Aiqing doesn't want to see the empire's tens of thousands of years of glory ruined!"
Of course, Ningbo understands the status of immortals, and when it comes to Zhao Jiewei, he is just angry that Zhao Shengcun will take Ning Lin as a bet. Even if Zhao Shengcun agreed, Zhao Jiewei was already a half-step immortal, even if he was put there for the Ning family to kill, the Ning family would be powerless, unless he invited a few immortal ancestors from the family to worship in the immortal gate.
But there are immortal ancestors in their own family, there are also Zhao families, and there are even more royal families, once the contradiction rises to the level of immortals, it will be difficult to reconcile!
"I think we will take Dongshan Prefecture as a bet! In addition to the five million gold coins, if the Ning family wins, the post of governor of Dongshan Prefecture will be taken over by the Ning family! Zhao Jiasheng will hand over Ning Lin to the Zhao family for disposal!
Exchanging a state for a person's life was originally a loss-making business, but if this person was Ning Lin, Zhao Shengcun would be able to accept it.
And Ningbo also knew that if Ning Lin was not a bet, the Zhao family would not give up no matter what, and this matter could only be like this!
