After hearing this, Shen Ling didn't think much about it, but asked directly: "Your Majesty, can you tell me who this vanguard general is?" In his opinion, since he is the deputy vanguard, there must be a vanguard general who leads the three armies.

Seeing that Shen Ling didn't seem to have the intention of refusing, the golden-robed old man looked with a touch of joy in his expression and said, "Zeng Jiuhe, the great horse, is the commander of the three armies this time. ”

"Pony?"

"Zeng Jiuhe?"

Shen Ling seems to be no stranger to this name, because this is a person surnamed Zeng, he had heard Uncle Yuntong say that the young master of the Zeng family is a leader-level figure in the Tianyuan Sect, and married with the royal family, took Princess Daxun, and became the first door in the sect to marry with the royal family, and said secretly in his heart: "Could it be that this Zeng Jiuhe is this young master?"

After thinking for a while, although he had probably guessed eight or nine in his heart, Shen Ling still wanted to confirm it, and said with questions, "The horse Zeng Jiuhe that Your Majesty refers to is a person from Tianyuan Sect?"

The golden-robed old man smiled, "Yes, it seems that you have a little bit of knowledge, Jiuhe is my great concubine, and he is also the deputy master of Tianyuan Sect, and he is the vanguard of this expedition, which is well deserved. ”

Shen Ling nodded slightly, now he understood a little, it turned out that His Majesty and Ji Shan wanted to let him cooperate with this Zeng Jiuhe on the expedition.

As for this colt Zeng Jiuhe, although he had not seen this person with his own eyes, he was now very sure that it was this person who set up an ambush in the canyon to ambush him.

This made him even more weird in his heart, he always felt that this matter was a little strange, if the royal family knew that Yuan Men had a holiday with him on this day, then why did he let him cooperate with this Zeng Jiuhe, the reason for this is worth his deep thought.

But in Shen Ling's opinion, he is happy to uncover the ins and outs of this, because although he is a disciple of the Great Cloud Sect, his situation is very unstable, and at this time, the royal family gave him the two identities of deputy pioneer and national soldier, all of which showed his external deterrence, so deep down, he accepted these two identities.

Seeing that Shen Ling was still thinking, Qu Zhengtian on the side hurriedly asked, "Brother Shen, is there anything unspeakable?"

Being reminded by Qu Zhengtian, Shen Ling came back to his senses, glanced at Qu Zhengtian, and finally his gaze fell on the golden-robed old man, and said, "Whether it is a national soldier or a deputy pioneer this time, I Shen Ling has no opinion, it's just... At this point, he stopped talking.

"In front of this emperor, if you have any opinions and requirements, as long as it is within the emperor's ability, you will definitely agree to it or do it for you," the golden-robed old man said slowly.

After seeing the golden-robed old man speak, Shen Ling said: "My Shen Ling's request is only one point, that is, as a national soldier, I only care about the external safety of the country, and the crises, contradictions and conflicts within the royal family, I Shen Ling will not participate in anything, to put it simply, I will only take action when I am in war with other countries." ”

The reason why he said this was mainly because he Shen Ling didn't want to get involved in all kinds of battles within the royal family, let alone be restrained by the identity of a national soldier, which also directly showed his meaning to the old man in the golden robe, that is, I, Shen Ling, a national soldier, will only take effect when the two countries go to war, and the rest is not to be discussed.

After listening to Shen Ling's words, the old man in the golden robe and Qu Zhengtian both stared at each other, and they were quite speechless in their hearts, especially the old man in the golden robe, if it weren't for the fact that he needed to be decent as the king of a country at this time, he would still want to fan Shen Ling.

Because no one has ever opened a condition like him, and it is a hint of arrogance, that tone and attitude seem to be unquestionable, which makes the only old man in the golden robe quite unhappy, and he only sighs in his heart, "It seems that this person has never taken the usual path outside, and the Tao is not a miscommunication." ”

Faced with Shen Ling's request, the golden-robed old man pondered for a moment, then laughed a few times, and then looked at Shen Ling: "Your request, this emperor agreed." ”

Then he said: "You can rest assured that as a national soldier, your actions will come and go completely according to your wishes, and the royal family will not interfere with you in the slightest, but once the country is in trouble, you must share my worries." ”

After speaking, the golden-robed old man said to Shen Lingyou again, "If you have any other requirements, let's put them together." ”

When the golden-robed old man said this, Shen Ling's heart also relaxed, and he replied calmly: "Your Majesty, Shen Ling said that there is only this one requirement, and nothing else is important. ”

"Well, you're not greedy, and I like that very much. ”

"Since that's right, this emperor will be listed in the world tomorrow, and you have already shown your identity as a national soldier," the golden-robed old man said slowly.

Shen Ling nodded and didn't say anything, but Qu Zhengtian on the side said to Shen Ling with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to Shen Guoshi." ”

"Shen Guoshi!"

This call, stunned, didn't let him react, and only after a few seconds did he come to his senses, and then arched his hand towards Qu Zhengtian, such a title was weird, which made Shen Ling always feel very awkward, in fact, he didn't care about anything at all about the identity of this national soldier.

Seeing that this matter was over, Shen Ling didn't plan to stay longer, and then got up and bowed deeply to Qu Zhengtian and the golden-robed old man: "Your Majesty, since this matter has been decided, if there is nothing else, Shen Ling will not stay longer." ”

The golden-robed old man nodded, "Hmm," and then said, "Shen Guoshi, please," a few words.

Shen hugged his fists, arched his hands towards the two, and then turned around and exited the hall.

After Shen Ling left, in the main hall, the old man in the golden robe slowly got up and looked at Qu Zhengtian and said, "Tian'er, what do you think of this Shen Ling?"

"Although this person is a little arrogant, he is brave and strategic, loves to stick to his own principles, and has fortitude in his bones," Qu Zhengtian said slowly.

"But this person doesn't want to be taken advantage of," the golden-robed old man added.

Qu Zhengtian didn't say anything, just nodded, for this, the Ming people all saw it, not to mention that as His Royal Highness, he didn't need to explain what he loved for Shen Ling at this moment, because explanation was a cover-up.

The golden-robed old man said again: "This person will eventually go out of Kanzhou in the future." ”

"Yes, Father, this Shen Ling can even defeat Wuyan, and he will be a giant in the future!" Qu Zhengtian also conformed to the Dao.

"No, his achievements are not giants, but farther, far beyond our imagination. ”

Sighing, he looked at Qu Zhengtian again, and said majestically: "Remember, this Shen Ling can try his best to win over him, and he can't and can't offend." ”

After Qu Zhengtian heard this, his body was slightly stunned, this was the first time he had seen his father tell him with that kind of look, because there was a hint of warning under that majesty, he could feel how much his father attached importance to this person.

However, I couldn't help but want to ask why I came, but the old man in the golden robe preemptively said: "I know you want to ask why?"

After saying this, he was silent, and only after a while did he mutter: "Because we can't afford to offend," and then he didn't explain anything, and the figure walked directly towards the left side of the main hall towards the deep palace, leaving only the habitual coughing sound to come, and finally gradually disappeared.

Seeing the golden-robed old man leaving, Qu Zhengtian immediately bowed down and said, "Son, send my father back to the palace." ”

After speaking, Qu Zhengtian's figure still stayed in place, and he always recalled the last sentence of the golden-robed old man's last advice: "We can't afford to offend," come.

He knew that even his father was very jealous of this Shen Ling, which proved that Shen Ling's identity was very unusual, and the strength behind him was even more terrifying, and he secretly said in his heart: "Is it that even the strength outside of Kanzhou is exceeded." ”

After pondering for a while, Qu Zhengtian shook his head, then chuckled lightly on his face, and sighed in his mouth: "How is it possible, no matter how great the strength is, it is too outrageous," and left outside the main hall as he spoke.

...

After leaving the deep palace, Shen Ling returned the same way and headed towards the restaurant, but what he didn't expect was that the sky had already darkened at this time.

And at this moment, he still has another thing in his heart, that is, his mother-in-law and Qingni, for the safety of the two, he has never been able to let go, he knows that the two of them are afraid of giving him trouble, so they say goodbye, but thinking of the strength of his mother-in-law, the worry in his heart is lighter.

After a while, Shen Ling returned to the restaurant and entered his guest room, and as soon as he entered, Shen Ling was suddenly startled, and the long sword in his hand unconsciously manifested in his hand and became vigilant.

Because there was an old man in gray sitting in the room, the old man had white hair, his face was calm at this time, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and his whole body was full of a terrifying aura and unparalleled majesty.

This was suddenly shocked, and it really made Shen Ling think that he had gone to the wrong room, but after taking a closer look, he knew how much he was thinking, this room was undoubtedly his own, but the old man was completely ahead of the board, and he had already prepared.

Seeing that Shen Ling was on guard, the old man's slightly narrowed eyes slowly relaxed, and he spit out two or four words without hesitation: "Sit down and talk." ”

Hearing the old man spit out these four words, feeling that the old man was not hostile, Shen Ling put away the spirit sword in his hand, but the slightest vigilance did not relax, because the ghost knew if the old man would suddenly attack him.

It's just that what makes him depressed and speechless is that the old man doesn't blush, as if he treats this as his own room,

Glancing at the old man, Shen Ling said vigilantly: "Chat, do I know you?" As he spoke, he also walked over and sat opposite the old man, but the look on his face was still tense, because the breath exuded by the old man was like nothing, sometimes it felt like there was a trace of ancient breath, and when it was not, it seemed that he couldn't feel his breath and heartbeat, and there was no such person's existence, just an illusory shadow sitting there.

The old man chuckled: "Won't we get to know each other after chatting?" Then he said: "You don't have to be afraid, if you want to make a move, you can be dealt with in one breath, so if you want to make a move, I have already met, why wait until now." ”

"I'm here today to talk to you and accomplish what someone has entrusted me with, so you don't need to be nervous like this. ”

"Nima, don't be nervous, someone who can handle me with one breath, and tell me not to be nervous,"

Shen Ling was also speechless, and secretly cursed in his heart, and the breath revealed by the old man made Shen Ling react instinctively.
