Chapter 113 Give you a fief
Unlike the beauty of the garden, the palace looks grand and thick. Various vines cover almost the entire wall. Occasionally, a few leaves are blown up by the wind to see the blue exterior wall. I don’t know how many years have passed. The whole building gives people a feeling of historical heritage. When the guard came to the entrance of the palace, his attitude became more and more respectful. At this time, an inner guard came out and welcomed Ling Xiao in.
When he arrived in the yard, there were not many guards guarding there as he imagined. The yard was covered with various precious trees, and the air was fresh and natural. Ling Xiao felt a few powerful auras hidden in the dark, and he was a little surprised. It seemed that the protection power around the king was indeed very strong, and he couldn't help but secretly aroused a sense of fighting. The Shushan Sectors have always been domineering, and they are the gentlest in their sects. When they encounter enemies, they are full of murderous aura.
The people in the dark seemed to feel Ling Xiao's fighting spirit. One of them seemed to be trying on purpose, and a pressure emanated from his body. Ling Xiao suddenly felt like he could not move in a step. He glanced at the bushes, and a light burst into his eyes. He snorted softly, and took a big step forward. After walking two steps, he felt that the pressure was getting bigger and bigger, like a huge rock pressing on his chest, feeling like he was about to suffocate. He couldn't help but feel anger in his heart. It was nothing to test. It was endless, it was a bit too much!
Little did he know that he was trying to test Ling Xiao's guard hidden in the bushes and was even more shocked. The other party obviously had the cultivation level of a great sword master, and he could not even have the mad sword master. He could actually block the momentum of his second-level magic sword master! If it were an ordinary great sword master, he would have vomited blood and fell to the ground...
The inner guard of Ling Xiao did not feel anything unusual. Suddenly, he heard Ling Xiao snorting, his face pale, and he was a little shocked. Then he couldn't help looking into the bushes and coughed lightly, "Young Master Ling, go quickly, don't let Your Majesty wait for a long time!"
The pressure on Ling Xiao's body disappeared immediately, and his heart was relieved. Ling Xiao felt a little awesome. He had felt the powerful aura of the Demon Sword Master in Qiu Chen. Although this person who took action to test him was not that powerful, he was definitely a strong man!
It seems that the number of strong people is not small, but the real high-level warriors are not willing to show up in public!
Thinking of this, Ling Xiao couldn't help but smile bitterly. He originally thought that his father Ling Tianxiao was already a strong man, but now it seems that he is a little superficial. Few of real strong men are in the army. If he is an official, he is basically in the imperial city!
After all, no matter how strong your personal ability is, it cannot determine the outcome of a war!
Even a peerless strong man like the Sword Sect can only take the heads of the enemy generals from the formation of tens of thousands of troops, but even so, if he faces the powerful crossbows of thousands of people, he will not dare to say that he can escape unscathed!
Thinking in his heart, Ling Xiao couldn't help but get excited. The best way to improve his strength in the road of cultivation is to fight!
At this time, the inner guard said aloud: "Your Majesty, Ling Xiao meet you!"
A gentle female voice came from the door inside: "Let him come in."
The door of the room opened. A palace maid who was not very beautiful but had a gentle temperament smiled lightly at Ling Xiao and said softly: "Your Majesty is inside. You can go in directly, pay attention to etiquette."
Ling Xiao nodded, then stepped in and walked into the inner room. He heard a burst of laughter from inside. He was full of energy. Ling Xiao coughed lightly, and the man's voice came from inside. He smiled and said, "The Ling family tiger is here, come in quickly!"
As soon as Ling Xiao entered the door, he was stunned at first because he saw the old man sitting at the lower head. It was the old marshal Qiu Chen who had just cured him! Qiu Chen looked at Ling Xiao and nodded and chuckled.
Then, Ling Xiao saw an old man in his sixties sitting on the chair in the head of the head. He was wearing a black gold-edged robe with a ferocious pattern embroidered with a ferocious Lion King's face. He had a pair of embarrassing eyes and was full of white skin on his face and not much wrinkle. He looked at Ling Xiao with a gentle smile, but his body exuded the majesty of a superior.
Ling Xiao bowed his head and bowed. In fact, except for those with the title of nobleman, who don’t have to kneel down when they see His Majesty, everyone else needs to kneel down when they see the king. But Ling Xiao’s pride is willing to kneel down to a king in the secular world?
Fortunately, the other party did not care about this, but said with a smile: "Hurry and give me a seat!"
Ling Xiao paused for a moment and thought to himself why His Majesty the King was so polite to him? He was a little wary, but because the old Marshal Qiu Chen was also here, he thought that the lord of a country would not be detrimental to him.
So Ling Xiao thanked him in a humble and arrogant manner and sat down at the bottom.
Seeing this, the King and Qiu Chen showed a hint of praise in their eyes. It is rare for young people to face a super overlord like the King of the Blue Moon Empire without changing their expressions.
At this time, Qiu Chen took the initiative to say, "Your Majesty, the old man is going out to meet those old friends who have not seen for many years, so I won't bother Your Majesty." As he said that, he gave Ling Xiao an encouraging look and turned around and went out.
His Majesty the King looked at Ling Xiao, but he was thinking in his heart that this son was not as unfavorable as the rumors. If there was no such scandal, he would cure the old marshal Qiu Chen and save a fifth-level magic swordsman for the empire. This one is the only thing that gives him a princess, which is not considered a humiliation of the royal family's majesty. But now, this little guy seems to have offended the prince and is very close to the son of the Southern King, and seems... quite restless!
Thinking of the king, looking at Ling Xiao with a smile, and seeing Ling Xiao's eyes looking at him calmly, the king praised the young man more and more. It didn't look like he thought, and it looked very similar to his father Ling Tianxiao back then! The king sighed in his heart, as if he had returned to the time when he personally marched more than ten years ago. Ling Tianxiao tried his best to protect him, so he could safely escape from the enemy's siege.
Thinking of this, the king snorted coldly in his heart, saying that I should not hand over the western gate of the empire to Ling Qing so easily. Humph, what I want is a loyal minister! Not a flatterer!
"Ling Xiao, I heard that you have cured Marshal Qiu. This is a great achievement. You have done a great thing to the empire. Haha, what reward do you want? Tell me!" The king smiled heartily and said to Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao suddenly woke up and felt that Marshal Qiu recommended himself in front of His Holiness! Otherwise, as a noble child, how could he be personally received by the king?
Thinking of this, Ling Xiao smiled faintly: "Your Majesty the King, when you treat Marshal Qiu, you only think that he is the chief minister of the empire and is respected by hundreds of millions of people. In terms of emotion and reason, you should take action to treat Marshal Lao, so I don't want to reward!"
"Hahaha!" The king laughed heartily a few times, and then said, "It turns out that Qiuchen is right. You little guy, it's really interesting!"
Then his face gradually became serious, and he looked at Ling Xiao and said, "I heard that you offended the prince?"
Ling Xiao shook his head and said, "How could it be? I just helped His Highness clear the hidden dangers around him. How could I offend you?"
The king was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then laughed and scolded: "You kid, you have a lot of distortion, but you have a good reputation in your father!" Then he said: "Ling Xiao, you have cured the old marshal and made great achievements in the empire. In addition, Old marshal Qiu appreciates you very much! So I decided to give you the title of hereditary viscount and fief... Just a southern important town, Cameron, it's just right, you are there, you have just repelled the orc attack. This is very good. I believe that you will definitely make Cameron more brilliant than before!"
The important southern town... Cameron? Isn't that the territory of the Southern King... Li Wutong? He gave it to me? Ling Xiao frowned slightly, "Your Majesty, what kind of virtue, how dare you give such a heavy reward? Please take it back." Ling Xiao's mind was not on the word "fame and fortune". He originally wanted to prepare to practice with all his heart, but he thought that His Majesty the King actually gave him such a heavy reward. Moreover, this reward felt that there was a conspiracy in it!
"Haha, don't be too careful!" The king smiled faintly: "I have the final say in the Blue Moon Empire!" As he said that, he looked at Ling Xiao deeply, and then continued: "Your medical skills are very good. Maybe in the future, even I can use you. As long as you are as loyal as your father, even... even if you offend the prince! As long as you are not treason, I will guarantee you nothing!"
Ling Xiao was shocked, his pupils shrank in his eyes and looked at the king with a little tightening, and asked, "Your Majesty is so kind, not just because I saved the old marshal, right?"
The king smiled lightly and then said carelessly: "I heard that your maid and a girl you brought back from outside have improved rapidly in a short period of time. You have successfully broken through the heavenly veins, not the effect of the medicine bath. You have also taken action to treat the old marshal. This is a virus that the chief imperial physician of the palace is helpless, so... Ling Xiao, what I want is... you extend my life span for another thirty years! In exchange for you, and your family... for a lifetime of glory!"
Ling Xiao finally realized at this moment that the old Marshal Qiu's illness and the old Marshal Qiu's appreciation may be true, but it would never be the old Qiu's intention to appreciate him so much! He was just around, but it was still for the king himself!
Thinking of this, Ling Xiao said with a calm expression: "If Your Majesty is sincere, why should you seal Cameron to me?"
"There is a prosperous economy and it is one of the best towns in the empire. Why don't you want it?" The king looked at Ling Xiao lightly, and his lips twitched slightly: "Does you have a ghost in your heart?"
Ling Xiao smiled and did not answer the king, asking, "Is this what Your Majesty calls sincerity?"
"Bold!" the king looked at Ling Xiao with a sneer. "How dare you talk to me like this? Do you think I dare not do you badly?"
"Your Majesty won't do that. If it were me, I wouldn't have asked someone for this attitude." Ling Xiao said in a humble and arrogant manner, not even raising his eyelids, as if he didn't feel the sudden huge momentum outside the door.
