Chapter 159: State Affairs
Shen Ling's sword made everyone feel horrified, and the most exaggerated ones were Chu Yingyue and Baishengfeng, not only did their faces face be stone-painted, but their bodies were also stiff, and they were sweating profusely.
Under Shen Ling's sword, Leng Beiyue had no power to fight back, and he was completely defeated, which made the two of them completely unexpected.
Duan Mo Youxue's heart froze, and the light of surprise flashing in her eyes was even stronger than just now, and she said in her heart: "It is worthy of being a rumored character." ”
Under the platform, Leng Beiyue screamed in pain, Shen Ling's sword directly made him lose an arm, and he was also seriously injured.
Seeing this, Qu Zhengtian immediately called the guards and ordered a few people to take Bai Shengfeng back to the mansion to recuperate from his injuries.
After doing all this, he looked at Shen Ling in the platform again, just when he wanted to say something.
saw Shen Ling looking straight at Chu Yingyue and Bai Shengfeng, and said solemnly: "It's time for you two, if you want to fight, go on stage." ”
Being reminded by Shen Ling, both of them trembled slightly, and then Chu Yingyue's tone was still vicious: "Shen Ling, don't be rampant too early, although I am not your opponent, someone will clean you up," he said with a deep salute to Qu Zhengtian, turned around and left.
Seeing his senior brother leaving, Hua Yirong also said goodbye to Qu Zhengtian.
After Bai Shengfeng saw this, his eyes also looked directly at Shen Ling and said, "I admit that I am not your opponent," and then said to Qu Zhengtian with a rather embarrassed expression: "Your Highness, I have taken my leave." ”
Before Qu Zhengtian returned, his figure flashed into the night and left as well.
Regarding the departure of the three people, Qu Zhengtian didn't hold back at all, let alone say anything, he knew that the two of them were afraid of making a fool of themselves again, so they left suddenly, so they also followed their wishes.
And the sudden departure of the two of them seemed to the few people on the scene to be no different from running away, which was a shame for the cultivators, but there was no way, they didn't want to be in a miserable situation like Leng Beiyue.
The flashing of the two made Shen Ling also dumbfounded, and he secretly cursed in his heart: "This, it's obvious that you can't win and run, and everyone is so righteous and stern." ”
After Shen Ling withdrew his sword, he didn't think much about it and walked back to the pavilion directly.
"Genius!"
"You are a rare genius in my Daxun Kingdom," Qu Zhengtian sighed with a smile on his face.
"Yes, among the younger generation of Daxun, you Shen Ling are probably invincible," Qing Linglong on the side also agreed.
Wu You's eyes flashed strangely, and he didn't say anything, Zhao Liuxuan's eyes were full of surprise, as if he was still recalling the process that happened just now, he didn't expect Shen Ling's strength to reach such a level, and he could actually comprehend the sword momentum.
And the eyes of Duan Mo Youxue on the side also flashed with a hint of curiosity, and asked Shen Ling, "Are you a sword cultivator?"
Hearing her ask like this, Shen Ling shook his head, "Why did Miss Broken ask like this?"
"It's nothing, it's just curiosity, just ask. ”
"I was able to comprehend the sword momentum at such a young age, and I thought you were a sword cultivator, but you are one of the most powerful people I have ever seen, the younger generation, and I am honored to have fought with you," Duan Mo Youxue said quietly.
"Miss Broken has been promoted, and I, Shen Ling, am just an ordinary cultivator," After speaking, he hugged his fists at everyone and signaled, and then said to Qu Zhengtian: "Thank you Your Highness for the banquet and hospitality, Shen Ling has something to do, so I still leave first." ”
Saying that, before Qu Zhengtian returned, Shen Ling's figure jumped into the air and flashed into the night, for him, this place was not suitable for him, so he didn't want to stay any longer.
With Shen Ling's departure, only Qinglinglong, Wushan, Duanmo Youxue and Zhao Liuxuan were left in the entire pavilion. Qu Zhengtian looked at the direction in which Shen Ling had disappeared, with a hint of regret in his eyes, and sighed.
"Although Shen Ling's strength is strong, but this person is too arrogant, it will inevitably offend many people, if His Highness wants to recruit for his own use, I am afraid he must be prepared to make enemies," Qing Linglong said slowly.
"That's right, Senior Brother Qingling is right, just like he injured Leng Beiyue today, I'm afraid that in the future, the people of Lan He Immortal will not give up," Wu You also said on the side.
"I am a disciple of the Great Cloud Sect with him, but I feel ashamed in terms of strength, but this person is already known as an arrogant evil person in my sect, not only in many foreign enemies, but also in my sect There are many enemies," Zhao Liuxuan is also a member of the Heavenly Dao.
After hearing the three of them say this, Qu Zhengtian's eyes deepened, and he muttered: "What the three of them said is extremely true, but he has the strength to be crazy, such a person will go far in cultivation." ”
"Your Highness is right, although this person is a little crazy, he is highly talented and has a good character," she said and glanced at Qing Linglong, Wu You and Zhao Liuxuan, and sneered: "Unlike some people, they will only say cool things behind their backs and stab other people's yin knives." ”
After speaking, she arched her hand towards Qu Zhengtian and said, "Youxue farewell," and then her figure flashed, and she also left the pavilion.
Qu Zhengtian nodded, as if he was thinking deeply about something, and after a while, he came back to his senses, his face was suddenly full of smiles, and he said to the three of Qing Linglong: "Let's continue, the three of you are still invited to take a seat," and he walked back to his original position.
After the three of them glanced at each other, they also walked over and sat down at the same time, because His Royal Highness had to give face, just like that, it was a banquet for nine people, and only four people were left on the scene.
...
After leaving this garden, Shen Ling left the imperial city and was about to go back to the restaurant directly, but when he passed a corner of the street, a black shadow suddenly flashed in front of him.
"Who?"
Shen Ling instinctively shouted, and was on guard.
I saw that the black shadow did not answer, but swept directly forward, and after a while, he transmitted: "If you want to know, come along." ”
After hearing this, Shen Ling was very surprised, he found that this figure seemed to have come for himself on purpose, and listening to the voice, he could conclude that it was an old man, revealing a strong aura.
Shen Ling didn't think much about it, and with curiosity, he followed directly.
Seeing Shen Ling coming, the old man continued to glide in the night sky, and when he finally reached a corner, his figure jumped directly into the courtyard of a house.
Shen Ling hesitated, and finally flew into the mansion, as soon as he entered the mansion, he found that this mansion was not big, in the entire Xundu City, it could only be regarded as a medium scale, and the location was very remote.
Seeing that the lights were on in one of the main rooms in the courtyard of the house, Shen Ling guessed that the old man who had just gotten down was inside.
Just when Shen Ling was still thinking about something, an old man's voice came from the house: "Since you have arrived, come in." ”
"Damn, there won't be an ambush inside," Shen Ling muttered in his heart, and finally bit his silver teeth and strode in, because he felt that if the old man wanted to make a move on himself, he would probably have done it a long time ago, so why lead himself here to start.
With a hint of vigilance, Shen Ling walked in directly, and after entering the room and seeing the old man, Shen Ling gradually took off that guard, because the old man was none other than Daxun's national teacher Ji Shan, which made Shen Ling stunned for a moment, because he was very surprised, and guessed in his heart: "Could it be that the national teacher has something to find him?"
Seeing that Shen Ling was surprised, Ji Shan smiled and said, "What's the matter, I didn't expect the old man to see you, right?"
"The junior really didn't expect it," Shen Ling replied respectfully, knowing that this person's identity was very special, he was both the national teacher of Daxun and the elder of the Blood Saint Sect, so Shen Ling was respectful and corresponding.
"Is there something wrong with the national teacher looking for me?" Shen Ling asked again.
"Looks like you know me,"
After a pause, Ji Shan said: "I called you here today because I have something important to discuss with you." ”
"Something important?"
"With me?"
Shen Ling was a little puzzled when he heard this, and then asked, "I don't know what happened?"
After seeing Shen Ling's reaction, Ji Shan smiled and slowly said two words: "State affairs." ”
As soon as the words "state affairs," Shen Ling was even more surprised, and he pointed to himself: "Discuss state affairs with me?"
"Is the national teacher looking for the wrong person, or is he joking, discussing state affairs with me Shen Ling, are you sure?" Shen Ling's face was full of incredulity.
In his Shen Ling's opinion, discussing state affairs should be the business of the ministers of the country and the emperor Lao'er, as a national teacher, he does not discuss with the emperor and ministers, but looks for himself, which is not nonsense.
Ji Shan was a little speechless, he said with a calm face, "Do you think I look like a joker?"
"Of course, as the national teacher of Daxun, looking for you to talk about state affairs is indeed a bit outrageous in the eyes of others, but in my Ji Shan's opinion, everything that is beneficial to my Daxun and people, I can treat it as a state affair, so you don't have to feel exaggerated and outrageous. ”
Hearing him say this, Shen Ling believed it a little, and said seriously: "Can the national teacher give me a reason? Why did he look for me Shen Ling?"
At this time, although Shen Ling believed what Ji Shan said, there was still a hint of unreality in his heart, the main thing he didn't expect was that one day he Shen Ling would also be able to participate in state affairs, if this was placed in the previous world, how exaggerated it would be, but now it actually fell on him.
Seeing Shen Ling asking directly, Ji Shan said unhurriedly: "You are very good, in fact, the old man has been paying attention to you for a long time." ”
"How early?" Shen Ling asked again.
"It's earlier than the rumors outside," Ji Shan said.
"People who can compete with the Taihe Sect and several major families, not to mention Tianhe City, even the entire Daxun can't be found, how can such a person not be used by my Daxun, and how can he not discuss state affairs with me, are these reasons enough?"
After Shen Ling heard this, he nodded and said, "Then let's talk about it, what is the state affairs that can be discussed with me Shen Ling?"
He Shen Ling didn't want to be used, and he knew about the open and secret battles in the royal family, so it was best to ask directly about the situation, if he let himself participate in the factional disputes within the royal family, even if he was a national teacher, he would categorically refuse, because this was what he hated the most.
Seeing Shen Ling asking the subject directly, Ji Shan did not shy away from saying: "If it is a national disaster, are you willing to serve the country?"
"National disaster?"
Shen Ling was stunned by Ji Shan's question, and read in his heart: "National disaster?" Could it be that he is referring to the Great Sun Country, well, how can there be a national disaster. ”
With a confused face, Shen Ling asked: "I still hope that the national teacher will tell the truth, why does Daxun have a national disaster?"
Ji Shan looked at the night outside the house, his expression was faintly melancholy, and then he sighed and said: "Kangning Kingdom wants to start a war with my Daxun, and it has already stationed troops on the border, and the war may break out at any time. ”
"Kang Ningguo is at war with Daxun,"
Shen Ling was suddenly shocked in his heart, although it was common for the two countries to go to war, but for some reason, after he heard this, his heart seemed to be turbulent, and this strange reaction in his heart made him feel inexplicable.
