"Little guy, where are you from, and how come you have the blood of the Xiu Luo clan in you?" The leader in armor looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked calmly.
"Back to Sir General, I come from Luoxia Mountain at the junction of the three realms. My master is a Taoist priest... I have lived there since I was a child. When I came down the mountain today, I didn't expect to be caught by these bandits."
Li Xiuyuan explained his situation carefully to the leader in armor in front of him.
When the guard heard this, he became furious: "Are these bastards looking for death? Even people from my Shura domain dare to capture and sell them as fat sheep. Don't be afraid. Just stay with me from now on."
When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he suddenly felt dizzy. Just passing through an arch, you don't have to be a fat sheep? It turns out that I am of Shura bloodline?
No wonder this arch is emitting blue light. It turns out that this is a bloodline testing gate.
"What can I do?" Li Xiuyuan felt relieved when he saw that he no longer had to be a fat sheep. Practicing is different no matter where he goes. With no goal at the moment, he decided to follow the general who saved his life.
"Now we are about to go to war with the Silver Moon Kingdom. You can follow me and work hard to make some achievements. Then it won't be a problem to work in a lawsuit and work part-time! My surname is Chen, and they all love me as Overlord Chen. You can take care of me from now on. Just accept Brother Chen."
Li Xiuyuan looked at Overlord Chen carefully and found that he could not tell his realm. He thought he was at least the Golden Core realm or above. With my current level of cultivation, if I go out again, I might be caught by bandits and sold as a fat sheep.
"That's very good. From now on, I will follow you, Brother Chen. My name is Li Xiuyuan..." Li Xiuyuan told Overlord Chen his situation again.
...
The moon is sparse and the night breeze is cool. In the military camp, Li Xiuyuan is sitting on his bed, practicing the mental methods of "Tai Xuan Sutra".
Over and over again, he felt the true energy in his body slowly flowing, and carefully sensed the changes in his body. Before going down the mountain, he had already reached a new level. He wanted to come to the outside world to find his own opportunity, but he didn't expect that he would end up here. A group of bandits.
Fortunately, he was saved by Brother Chen because of his bloodline, otherwise he would have been sold to no one knows where. Thinking of the hateful eyes of the children in the cage, he couldn't help but shudder.
This world is too chaotic. No wonder the master would rather stay in the Taoist temple on the mountain than go down the mountain. With the master's level of cultivation, he doesn't want to join the world, let alone he has just started practicing.
Li Xiuyuan felt that his heart was shattered into pieces. This was a slap in the face. It was so bullying!
"No matter what, go to bed first. After all, I am now a little soldier in the military camp!"
Pull up the quilt and fall asleep.
After being frightened, he could finally have a peaceful sleep.
This night was destined to be an extraordinary night, but no matter how extraordinary it was, it still passed.
...
That night, in the Tianfeng City Palace, the Queen's Cining Palace.
Opposite Queen Changsun, sitting downstairs was King Tianfeng Emperor Qin, and beside him stood the eunuch Wang Lin and the Queen's maid Xiaoyun.
"Tomorrow is the deadline given by the envoy of the Silver Moon Kingdom. I wonder if the queen can solve this problem for me?" King Qin looked at his queen and asked helplessly.
"It's my turn to talk about this important national and military matter?" Queen Changsun, who was wearing a white skirt embroidered with gold threads, replied calmly.
At first glance, Empress Changsun was less than thirty, and she had a dignified and beautiful face. Not only was she a queen, she was also a queen.
At first glance, King Qin was only about forty, with a height of five feet and a slim figure. If he hadn't been wearing a king's yellow shirt, he would have thought he was an elegant scholar walking in the world.
"Then we have to find a way to deal with it. We can't lose this game in vain, but this will affect the kingdom's expenses for several years?"
King Qin looked at the queen and frowned.
Queen Changsun also knew that this was not going to work, and she frowned slightly as she looked at the melancholy King Qin. After thinking for a while, he looked at the eunuch Wang Lin and asked, "Mr. Wang, do you have any good ideas?"
When Wang Lin heard this, he quickly stepped forward and replied: "Back to the Queen, I have tried all the slaves I can find in Tianfeng City, and they don't meet the standards?"
King Qin nodded and said in a solemn voice: "If Mr. Wang can think of a way, there is no need to trouble the queen." After saying this, he glanced at Xiaoyun standing next to the queen, and couldn't help but start thinking. .
"Xiaoyun, you follow the queen every day. Everyone says that you have a flexible mind. Now is your time to show it. If you have a way, tell me quickly. Maybe in the end... I will know it. There are many rewards!”
When Xiaoyun heard this, she was so frightened that she quickly greeted King Qin and timidly replied: "I serve the queen every day, how can I have any good ideas... If it is according to what Manager Wang said, there is no one in this imperial city." If you can, you might want to try another method."
"What's the magic trick? Tell me quickly!" King Qin immediately became energetic after hearing this.
Empress Changsun also turned to look at her and smiled: "Speak quickly, I won't blame you even if I am wrong."
Xiaoyun took a breath and replied: "Since you can't find a suitable person in the city, you can ask the generals guarding the city. They follow up with people coming out of Tianfeng King City every day, and they will definitely get to know a lot of capable people. Strangers..."
When Empress Changsun heard this, she nodded thoughtfully and said with a smile: "Since everyone is exhausted, let's recruit the generals who are on duty these days to come into the palace and ask questions. Treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. There is a glimmer of hope.”
When King Qin heard this, he looked back at the eunuch Wang Lin and said in a deep voice, go and invite all the guards who have been guarding the city gate these days to come into the palace. I will see them tonight!
Wang Lin was stunned, looked up at the two of them, and replied in a low voice: "I'll do it now."
...
On the second day, before dawn, Li Xiuyuan was picked up from the bed by Overlord Chen. While urging him to wash and change clothes, he pulled him and the two of them to ride on a war horse and hurried towards the palace.
Queen Changsun accompanied King Qin to the Palace of Eternal Life. Today was the deadline given by the envoy of the Silver Moon Kingdom. The ministers of the Tianfeng Kingdom had been waiting in the palace early in the morning.
The civil and military officials who were sitting in silence were as calm as ever. Although they felt a lot of unwillingness in their hearts, once they entered the main hall, they all quietly waited for the arrival of King Qin. .
Although some ministers' eyes were darkened, it was obvious that they had not slept enough.
This huge kingdom, this invincible dynasty, was conquered by dozens of generations of monarchs, ministers, and soldiers who devoted their efforts. No matter what, foreign forces will not be allowed to get their hands on it.
King Qin and Queen Changsun came, and the envoy from Xuanyinyue Kingdom came to see them.
The emperor and the empress came together, which represented the majesty of the Tianfeng Emperor for hundreds of years.
The envoy from the Silver Moon Kingdom went to the palace with five companions. They were dressed in gorgeous clothes and held their heads high, looking arrogant.
Queen Changsun sat next to King Qin, with Xiaoyun and Wang Lin standing beside her, quietly looking at the envoys of the Silver Moon Kingdom and others who entered the hall.
"King Qin, I wonder if your country has found any contestants to compete with our country's envoys?" the Silver Moon Kingdom's envoy said, with a confident look on his face.
"The envoy will know later. General Chen is invited to come up!" King Qin said calmly.
At the same time, Xiaoyun lowered her head and said something in the Queen's ear: "Your Majesty, you are wrong. This envoy from the Silver Moon Kingdom and the people he brought are all martial arts practitioners."
Empress Changsun also frowned slightly, looked at her and shook her head, she just had to place her hope in Bawang Chen.
...
"The emperor and the empress are looking for you...behave well for a while, and maybe you will become prosperous."
Overlord Chen pulled Li Xiuyuan towards the palace and kept giving him instructions.
Li Xiuyuan was startled, thinking that before he had a chance to walk around the military camp, he was pulled into the palace again in the blink of an eye. What kind of drama was this?
"Wait a minute, Brother Chen, I can only..." Li Xiuyuan looked at Overlord Chen and said anxiously.
"It's too late. Let's take it one step at a time. Even if we make a mistake, it won't kill you. At most, there will be no reward. What are you afraid of? I'm here!"
Overlord Chen cheered him up.
Li Xiuyuan felt miserable in his heart. Can this matter be the same? If you have the ability, go up and try it?
Under the tug of Overlord Chen, the two of them were able to walk all the way. In less than half a quarter of an hour, they entered the outside of the Palace of Eternal Life and happened to bump into Wang Lin who was walking out.
"Just in time! The Emperor is looking for you two..."
Wang Lin quickly explained the situation in the palace. When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he was extremely speechless. How could he be so unreasonable and shameless?
"Is it feasible?" Wang Lin asked with a slightly worried look on his face.
"I don't know either. I'll find out after I give it a try." Li Xiuyuan nodded and replied softly.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements."
Wang Lin nodded slightly and said, this is all that can be done now. In this first game, the best is to win, and the worst is to draw.
After hearing what Li Xiuyuan meant, Wang Lin also had doubts on his face, but at the moment there was no better way.
Above His Highness, King Qin's face was calm, and the majesty of the emperor was calm and he looked at the Overlord Chen and Li Xiuyuan who walked into the hall quietly.
Someone was sent to invite Overlord Chen into the palace last night, so the protagonists of today's events are Overlord Chen and Li Xiuyuan, or Queen Changsun who sits next to King Qin.
King Qin was not in a hurry and waited for the Queen's arrangements. No one knew Queen Changsun's character better than him. If he was not 90% sure, he would never intervene.
The Queen came to a very simple conclusion last night, just one sentence: "Tianfeng Kingdom will not lose in the first round."
After waiting for a long time, Wang Lin finally came back and stood behind King Qin, signaling that he was ready.
Empress Changsun looked at Emperor Xia quietly and nodded lightly.
"Then let's begin!" After receiving the signal, King Qin was no longer silent.
"Please envoy to appoint a candidate!" Queen Changsun said.
After hearing this, the officials of the Tianfeng Kingdom all twisted and looked at Overlord Chen and Li Xiuyuan who were standing under their highnesses. It's not that they were greedy for life and afraid of death, it was just pure fear.
In fact, they were overthinking it. No matter how bold the envoys from the Silver Moon Kingdom were, they would not be able to mess around in the main hall.
"Please, young master!"
The envoy from the Silver Moon Kingdom scanned around the hall and spotted Li Xiuyuan, who had the deepest head at a glance. He had the right identity, the right age, and was not a martial artist. He was simply a boy giving money.
If Li Xiuyuan knew what the envoy from the Silver Moon Kingdom was thinking, he would definitely cry out that he was wronged. He is also a practitioner at the Foundation Establishment Realm, okay!
Unfortunately, who here is not a practitioner above the Golden Core Realm, and who would care about a young man who is at the Foundation Establishment Realm?
Compared with the queen's complicated mood, King Qin's psychology was much simpler. The only thing he was worried about was whether this boy would mess up the court today.
Is Li Xiuyuan happy? Naturally, he was unhappy, but there was nothing he could do about it. He was pushed onto the barbecue grill by Overlord Chen and could not get on.
The problem is that he will have to leave Tianfeng Kingdom sooner or later. He cannot stay here forever.
The reason why he helped Overlord Chen was because Overlord Chen saved his life.
The current situation is the last thing he wants to encounter. He knows that from today on, there will be countless eyes on him in the palace. Neither the Queen nor the King of Qin will allow someone he knows nothing about to appear next to Tianfeng Kingdom. people.
Seeing the hesitation in Li Xiuyuan's heart, Overlord Chen shouted in a low voice and said: "Why panic? Just do it boldly. If anything happens, I will take care of it, General!"
Li Xiuyuan's head cleared up after being scolded, and he knew that he couldn't escape this time.
"I want to give it a try!" Li Xiuyuan said quietly, looking at King Qin and the Queen in the hall.
