Chapter Twenty-Three: Take Off!

"Please be promoted to the new "Quasi-Monarch Squire", Li Ran "Denglong"!"

Wang Zhong, the deputy head of the East Factory, waved his hand, and the eunuchs and subjects on the side gave way one after another, and then, an official of the Zongren Mansion wearing a brocade robe, holding a pair of extravagant "Purple Gold Fire Phoenix Boots" in both hands, stepped forward and knelt in front of Li Ran.

The so-called "Denglong" is a necessary ritual for every "quasi-monarch and servant" before entering the palace.

To put it simply, it is "changing shoes".

Once you abandon the folk boots and wear the fire phoenix boots that symbolize the Xiao royal family, it marks the end of the previous status and identity, and you will enter the house and become a member of the royal family.

From now on, walking the rivers and lakes, even if it is the "martial saint" of the dynasty, Jiang Taiyuan is here, he will give you a little face.

Of course, a royal buff like this awesome, like the big dragon buff in the previous life "League of Legends", is time-limited.

At the end of the one-month period, if the quasi-monarch waiter fails to be promoted and becomes the only princess waiter, then he must return the fire phoenix boots under his feet to the Zongren Mansion and return to his original identity.

However, none of this has anything to do with Li Ran.

He put on these boots today, and he didn't plan to take them off!

Because he didn't have a choice!

Take it off, and you will be tendered to death by this dog system!

Yes, if you enter the palace today, if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent.

Xiao Wan'er, Lao Tzu is here!!!!

Li Ran put on the fire phoenix boots, his whole person was radiant, and his eyes revealed a murderous aura that destroyed the world and destroyed the earth!

"Li Shaoqing, your eldest son, is recognized as the most beautiful man in the imperial capital, and now that you are wearing this royal boot, I am afraid that this style is already the best in the world, and no one can match it. ”

Wang Zhong smiled at Li Daoguang on the side.

"Where, where! The prince praised it falsely, the dog was mediocre, and it all depended on the saint's love. Li Daoguang hurriedly said with a smile.

He has been cautious in the officialdom in his life, although he is now the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, but he still does not dare to offend the second-in-command of the East Factory.

"Princess, can I say goodbye to my mother alone?"

Li Ranjun glanced at it and saw that his mother Li Tao, supported by his younger brother, had completely cried into tears.

"Yes, but according to the rules of the imperial court, at the end of the day, all the new quasi-monarchs and servants must be in the Shenwu Gate to worship the "Qingluan Ancestral God", we are running out of time. Wang Zhong smiled kindly.

I have to say that compared with Liu Liang, the male and female boss of Dongchang, this deputy manager Wang gave Li Ran a good impression.

"Well, I'll do it as soon as possible, don't worry. ”

Nodding to Wang Zhong, Li Ran walked towards his mother.

"Ran'er, my Ran'er!"

Seeing that his son put on Denglong boots and was about to step into the dangerous and unpredictable deep palace, Li Tao could no longer care about the image of the housemother, rushed over crying, and hugged Li Ran tightly, she had severe asthma, crying, coughing heartbreakingly, everyone present was moved.

"Mother, don't cry, didn't we say it last time, my son promised you, be careful in everything in the palace, endure it if you can, and never provoke anyone, you can rest assured. ”

Li Ran wiped her tears for her mother, and said in the gentlest voice in her life: "Mother, my son promises you, no matter what the result of entering the palace this time, whether you can get the approval of Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess, after a month, your son will find a way to come back to see you!"

"Really, don't lie to your mother......"

Li Tao sobbed, at this time, she was like a child.

"Of course it's true. Even if one day, my son deceives all the people in the world, I will not deceive my mother. ”

Li Ran's eyes lit up and said sincerely.

His words came from the bottom of his heart.

If the fusion of memories made him slowly accept his current identity, then in his previous life, when his parents died early, he felt the maternal love he had never felt in this woman.

No matter how awesome or awesome it is in the future, there is always nothing wrong with listening to your mother.

"By the way, mother, the small sachet of pills I gave you early in the morning, you must remember to use vegetarian food every day, when you take it for seven days, your lung disease will not only be completely cured, but also strengthen your physique and prolong your life. Li Ran suddenly remembered the matter of returning to Yuandan.

"Well, of course my mother will take the elixir that my family asked for me!"

"Well, thank you, mother. ”

Li Ran hugged her, nodded to the father next to her, and was about to walk onto the official sedan chair, when he suddenly remembered something.

"Hey, don't you kid have anything to tell me?"

Li Ran suddenly walked in front of his younger brother Li Huan and pulled the latter aside.

The kid was bowing his head at the moment, biting his lip, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"I?should...... No. Li Huan glanced up at his brother.

"If I'm not mistaken, I'll be able to see you in the palace in a week's time. Li Ran sneered.

Li Huan was stunned when he heard this: "How do you know that I will enter the palace......? Told you?"

"The annual "Martial Arts Elite Ceremony", the imperial court has been defeated for two consecutive years, and this year, there are disciples of the Mobei Sword Emperor and disciples of the Dongying God Ninja Kitagawa Ichiro, which can be regarded as a strong enemyβ€”β€”"

"To put it bluntly, the current situation of the imperial court is very embarrassing. Those who can fight, such as Liu Liang and Wei Yuhong, their age and identity do not meet the qualifications, and the younger ones, those Hong Yingwei and Wuke eunuchs, are okay to engage in assassination, but they can't really fight in the ring, and they can't get on the stage. ”

"Among the younger generation of the Xiao family's royal family, the eldest princess Xiao Lingqiu and the second princess Xiao Qingxue can fight, but because of their royal status, His Majesty will definitely not let them end. ”

Speaking of this, Li Ran smiled: "In recent years, the relationship between the imperial court and some folk sects has froze again, so if the imperial court wants to win this ceremony and restore the martial power of the Central Plains, it must turn to the Holy Martial Academy, but what I didn't expect is that the Holy Martial Academy actually sent you to come?"

Hearing this, Li Huan showed a look of surprise on his face, but he still didn't speak.

"Cut, what is there to keep secret, a discerning person can deduce it when he looks at the situation. ”

Li Ran said disapprerovingly: "But I think about it, this time the Holy Martial Academy should have sent more than you over, if you can stand out, the court will be happy, and you will be crowned a doctor of martial arts, it is also possible." ”

"Anyway, come on, if my Li family can produce another martial artist, my father and mother will definitely be very happy. ”

Li Ran patted his younger brother on the shoulder, and wanted to say something, but smashed his mouth, but swallowed it, and then turned away.

"Wait a minute......"

Li Huan suddenly spoke.

Li Ran turned his head and looked at him with interest.

"I remember all the things you said yesterday! You are in the palace...... Take care too!"

Li Huan gritted his teeth, but finally didn't shout out that word.

"Oh. Li Ran responded lightly, but a warmth swelled up in his heart.
