Although the courtiers were shocked, no one stood up to express their opinions. Now it was a struggle between Emperor Xue Ye and Dugu Douluo. No matter which side they were in, they were beyond their reach. The only way to govern the government is to be wise and protect yourself. .
After hearing that the 'thief' in front of him blamed his son for the matter, Emperor Xueye finally looked a little unhappy.
He knows the facts better than anyone else. It is absolutely impossible to find the so-called 'murderer'. It is self-evident who the 'murderer' in front of him is to be used as a scapegoat.
What he was dissatisfied about was that Dugu Bo actually "deceived the emperor" in front of all the ministers, and framed the matter on Xue Beng.
Dugu Bo sealed the mouth of the 'murderer', and then quickly stepped forward and bent down to apologize: "Your Highness, this thief must be talking nonsense. The Fourth Prince will never do this!"
"Then Aiqing, who do you think is behind this?" Emperor Xueye squinted his eyes and looked at Dugu Bo below, his murderous intention towards this imperial minister becoming more and more obvious.
"I will definitely continue to interrogate the thief until he tells the real murderer!" Dugu Bo shouted loudly.
Emperor Xueye ignored Dugu Bo, but instead turned his attention to the thief, and said in a calm tone: "Are you the result of the crime of deceiving the emperor? The nine clans are implicated, including relatives, friends, wives, children, and grandmothers."
This was already a clear threat, and it was a threat in front of many ministers in the government.
It seems that Emperor Xueye has no way to break this situation and can only hope to extract words from the murderer.
"If you tell the murderer, I will forgive your sins and grant you the title of earl, a fiefdom, and millions of gold."
Emperor Xue Ye's meaning is very clear. As long as you betray Dugu Bo now, you will be able to enjoy glory and wealth. Otherwise, the nine tribes will be implicated.
But everyone knows that the so-called rewards will always be taken back for various reasons later, and then they will be held accountable for your problems.
It has been like this for thousands of years...
But this method was useless on the thief. He had already 'clearly' remembered how he poisoned himself, how he escaped, and how 'Avalanche' gave him advice under Qian Renxue's brainwashing, and he would not find any flaws.
The thief trembled and knelt down: "Emperor, what I said is true. That man does have a token named Bengzi hanging on his body..."
Seeing that he was still going on, Emperor Xue Ye's face instantly dropped. Seeing this, Dugu Bo no longer held back, and directly used his soul ring to hit the thief's body with a palm. The thief still wanted to speak out, but could no longer say it. .
"Your Highness, this thief is talking nonsense, I suggest that he be executed directly! Especially with visual effects!" Dugu Bo strongly suggested.
Emperor Xueye looked at Dugu Bo for a long time, and finally he could only sigh slightly: "Take it down and behead him. Continue to investigate this matter. If you find anything, you can report it directly to me."
Hearing this, Dugu Bo felt happy.
All the ministers looked at Dugu Bo in surprise. They did not expect that Dugu Bo would be so bold and dare to use this method to clear away his suspicions. They did not expect that Emperor Xue Ye would give up on it...
You were the one to tell me about the poisoning. If I report anything I find out now, I will report it directly to you. What's the difference between this and not investigating? It's just that you can't lose face.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Dugu Bo bowed loudly.
After a while, Emperor Xue Ye looked at Dugu Bo, who was still standing, and frowned: "This matter is over, is there anything else?"
"Your Majesty, I have dedicated more than ten years to the empire. Now that I am old, I beg your Majesty to allow me to retire and return to my hometown to live out the rest of my life in peace."
Hearing that Dugu Bo was leaving, Emperor Xueye fell into deep thought again.
For him, it was indeed painful for the empire to lose a titled Douluo, but Dugu Bo had now colluded with the Spirit Hall, so keeping him might be of no use.
"It's accurate." Emperor Xueye said calmly.
"Thank you, Emperor..."
Dugu Bo bowed respectfully and retreated until he exited the main hall.
After going out, Dugu Bo breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect that this method really worked, and he was actually freed from a certain death situation!
"Congratulations to Senior Dugu, you are completely free from today on."
Behind him, Qian Renxue walked over with a smile.
Hearing the voice of Her Majesty the Saint behind him, Dugu Bo looked back in surprise: "Her Majesty the Saint? Why are you here...?"
The palace is heavily guarded, and the Saint of Wuhun Hall is not from the palace. It is really dangerous to be able to come in and be so close to the main hall.
"Come here and take a look at Senior Dugu's demeanor. If Xue Ye refuses to let you go, I can rescue you." Qian Renxue made a small joke.
However, in Dugu Bo's view, her joke was undoubtedly a sign of importance to him, which made him feel warm in his heart.
"Thank you, Your Highness the Holy Lady, but I really want to leave. I'm afraid no one here can stop me."
Looking at Dugu Bo who had regained his energy, Qian Renxue smiled and said, "Let's go, senior, it's time to go home, Dugu Yan is still waiting for you."
"Your Highness, please first..."
Amidst the polite pushing and shoving, the two of them quickly arrived at Dugu Yan's mansion.
Dugu Yan was worriedly running over every minute to look outside. Today is her grandfather's judgment day. Whether she can survive or not depends on today.
"Granddaughter, I'm back!" Dugu Bo's voice sounded outside. Dugu Yan ran to the door excitedly, only to see Dugu Bo pushing the door open with a loud laugh, and the grandfather and grandson hugged each other.
"Grandpa, you're back!"
"Yeah, everything will be fine from now on."
Seeing the filial piety of her grandfather and grandson, Qian Renxue couldn't help but think of her grandfather Qian Daoliu. She wondered how his grandpa's third exam was progressing after so long...
After waiting for the tenderness between his grandfather and grandson, Dugu Bo pulled Dugu Yan to Qian Renxue and said seriously: "Your Royal Highness, my granddaughter and I will join the Wuhun Hall starting today, led by the Wuhun Hall!"
Dugu Yan had no idea about these things, but she was very happy when her grandfather was here and Qian Qian was here too. She nodded: "Yeah, Qian Qian and I are together!"
Qian Renxue couldn't help but smile, and took out the two fairy grasses she had prepared and handed them to them: "Senior Dugu, this is a gift for you to regain your freedom. Yanyan, this is a reward for joining the Spirit Hall."
Dugu Yan held the gorgeous fairy grass in his hand, and the brilliance of the fairy grass reflected in his eyes. He was sucked in and said stupidly: "Qianqian, what is this?"
"The fairy grass you have in your hand is an eight-petal fairy orchid. It has mild medicinal effects. It can strengthen the body and remove impurities in the body. The one in the hands of Senior Dugu is crystal snow dragon ginseng. It has strong vitality and stronger medicinal effects. It can Restore physical damage and replenish blood essence."
Dugu Bo was the administrator who took care of these medicinal gardens. He was well aware of the powerful effects of these medicinal herbs. When he learned that he had a share, he was trembling with excitement.
"Your Highness...do you really want to give this to me?"
"Of course, otherwise what would I do with it?"
"But this is too precious, I can't bear it!"
"I'm serious, Senior Dugu, you will definitely be the mainstay of my Wuhun Palace in the future. I am investing in advance."
After Qian Renxue's persuasion, Dugu Bo finally accepted the gift, and Dugu Yan also accepted it.
"Thank you Qianqian!"
From now on, Qian Renxue stopped disturbing their daily routine and withdrew consciously.
Dugu Bo's departure caused great pain to the pro-emperor faction. Without the support of Titled Douluo, it was equivalent to breaking his own legs when facing other factions, and he even fell into the subsequent overt and covert fights. Downwind...
Qibao Glazed Pagoda, the largest sect in the neutral faction, has also joined Wuhun Palace. Although it has not openly supported Wuhun Palace, it is secretly unmoved by what Wuhun Palace does, and sometimes it can even be seen faintly. I have the intention to support it, but I can’t find any evidence...
Most of the aristocratic sects in the empire could see the shortcomings and joined the new aristocratic faction one after another, which increased the power of Wuhun Palace and became the leader.
…
Enshrined in the temple.
The Great Elder Qian Daoliu recruited many children with angel martial spirits from all over the continent because of the third divine test 'Inheritance of Fire'.
These children are now connected to Wuhun Hall by him for centralized teaching.
These children are the key to his third divine examination, and they are also the seeds he can leave for the Spirit Hall after he ascends to the divine realm.
After these days of teaching, Qian Daoliu discovered that one of the girls was extremely talented. When testing her soul power, she was a being with innate soul power.
He also learns various knowledge very quickly and has a strong receptivity, far ahead of other children.
Qian Daoliu has been observing for a long time, and today is the time to test her.
As the backbone of the future Wuhun Palace, especially the child he plans to reuse, he must withstand the test before he can impart his abilities without reservation.
"Modi, come here."
Qian Daoliu gently called Modi, who was studying.
Modi has long, snow-white hair, and his skin is also very fair, but it is not the kind of sickly white. It is fair and red under normal conditions. His figure is weak and thin due to lack of nutrition all year round.
After being fed by Wuhundian for the past few days, he was feeling much better, with a happy smile on his face.
Hearing the principal calling him, Modi also ran to Qian Daoliu's side and said respectfully: "Principal, you are looking for me!"
Qian Daoliu founded the Angel Academy for these children, and he himself was the principal.
"Come, let me find out the situation from you." Qian Daoliu smiled kindly and called Modi into his office.
After arriving at the office, Modi felt a little embarrassed and said, "Principal, did I make a mistake..."
"No, no, you are very talented and have made no mistakes." Qian Daoliu picked up her information and asked, "Are you an orphan?"
Although he knew all the information, he still had to ask to make sure.
Speaking of this, Modi was a little dejected: "Principal, my parents left me because of the war when I was three years old, and I have been living in an orphanage since then. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't know where I would be begging today."
"After practicing these days, how much soul power has you achieved?"
"Already level fourteen!" Modi said excitedly.
She is the one with the highest soul power among this group of friends!
Qian Daoliu nodded. This child's talent is indeed good. Although children on the mainland can carry out awakening rituals at the age of six, it is only limited to most 'edited' families.
People like Modi who grew up in an orphanage may only go to the Wuhun Hall to awaken their Wuhun when they have the ability to be independent. However, by then, they will probably be more than ten years old, and they will be too far behind others. Opportunities for development are slim.
And Modi is now nine and a half years old, which is less than half a month since Qian Daoliu awakened her martial soul. In this half month, she has just improved her cultivation level by four levels.
However, the reason why she is so fast is because her body has adapted to absorb and store soul power for many years. After a while, she should return to normal speed.
"Come, sit down, I want to hear about all your experiences from as far back as you can remember."
"Um!"
An old man and a young man faced each other and listened to her tell about all the things that had happened to her over the years. Most of them made people feel very distressed, but in Modi's words, they seemed to be very common things.
After a long time, Modi's story basically came to an end. The last thing he did was that he was discovered by Wuhun Palace and brought here.
"Principal, I like Wuhun Palace very much and everyone here. I want to stay and give more help to other people like me."
Although Modi is young, he seems old-fashioned when he speaks. The reason behind this may be the orphanage.
But even so, her wish is to help more children like herself. She is kind-hearted and Qian Daoliu is very satisfied.
Moreover, Modi's martial spirit is the Angel of Light, which is among the angels ranked very high under the throne of the Angel God.
Her temperament, talent, and wisdom are the best among this batch... Perhaps, she can be sent to her granddaughter as a follower?
Thinking of this, Qian Daoliu became serious: "Modi, continue to practice hard, and I will discuss a major matter with you then!"
"Yes!" Modi responded seriously.
………
Qian Renxue woke up the next day and learned about his experience during this period from his grandfather's letter, and also learned about this little girl named Modi with an angel martial spirit.
"Modi..." Qian Renxue muttered, and then put the letter away - the information was burned, so the letter naturally had to be stored.
Grandpa's third divine examination seems to be progressing very smoothly, but her granddaughter, Qian Renxue, is not bad at all. Now the Medical Association, Charitable Foundation, and Blacksmith Association are all developing in an orderly manner.
Just wait for a while and you will definitely see results!
After her daily wash, Qian Renxue continued her morning exercises. This had become her habit. If she failed to do her morning exercises on any day, she would feel like something was missing throughout the day.
I ran into Dugu Bo every day during morning exercises. Ever since he quit the Tiandou Empire and joined the Spirit Hall, he looked very happy every day.
"Senior Dugu, where are you going so early?"
"Of course it is 'Biyao Garden'! Bye, Your Highness, I will leave my granddaughter to you!"
Dugu Bo went to work happily, and Dugu Yan soon appeared in front of Qian Renxue.
"Qianqian, let's go to school!" Duguyan also looked very happy, she could finally go to school again.
Fortunately, Emperor Xue Ye did not continue to cause trouble, but Qian Renxue always felt that the emperor was afraid of the revenge of a poisonous Titled Douluo, so she turned the story over.
But that's it, she still has to go to school...
