Chapter 114 The King's Strategy

Ling Xiao looked calm: "I thought His Majesty thought he was not sick."

The king stared at Ling Xiao with sharp eyes for a long time before shook his head and sighed: "You are different from your father! He is not as scheming as you." Then he said: "If you agree, Cameron Town... is yours! Of course, how to make it completely surnamed Ling requires your means, but I believe that my second son knows how to tolerate better than the boss! Also, I allow you to have private soldiers, as for the number... it is only three thousand! This is already the number that can only be possessed by the count!"

"Your Majesty isn't you afraid? I'll do something to control Your Majesty from now on?" Ling Xiao said lightly with a faint smile on his face. At this moment, he had fully understood why the king found himself so quickly and did not avoid Marshal Qiu. It was obvious that he had been trapped in a shocking conspiracy, and the people who dared to poison His Majesty the King and Marshal of the Empire at the same time... It seemed that the entire empire would not exceed two people!

Either the prince or the king of the south!

The king's somewhat thin body slowly leaned on the chair, and the Explosive Lion King hand-embedded on his robe, opened his teeth and claws as the king's body moved, and it was lifelike.

"I believe you won't do that!"

His Majesty the King said with certainty: "Because you are a smart person!"

"Since Your Majesty has such thoughts, it seems like a mistake that Old Marshal Qiu appeared at the banquet today!" Ling Xiao asked.

"mistake?"

The king smiled coldly and did not answer Ling Xiao's intention. The old Marshal Qiu Chen appeared at this banquet to shock those people. The king had reason to believe that he might not be able to do so. From that day on, the country was in a state of trouble.

When the old marshal Qiu Chen was poisoned, His Majesty the King was angry for a long time, thinking that this was done by a hostile force, and the biggest suspicion was the Zichuan Empire! But in the end, no evidence was found. His Majesty the King could only admit his unlucky, and he could not start a war without reason, right?

Who knew that since this spring, the king felt something was wrong with his body, and often felt weak and tired. At first he thought it was because of his fatigue, but who knew that this situation became more and more serious.

When the imperial doctor was asked to examine it, a virus was finally found in His Majesty the King's blood, and this virus was something they had never seen before! But these experienced doctors could confirm one thing, that is, the poison in His Majesty the King was obviously not a day or two, but only after a long period of accumulation!

The king was finally angry. Thinking about the old Marshal Qiu Chen, the loyal minister who was only loyal to him, the king seemed to understand everything. His Majesty the King was a person who had taken the Vatician Holy Fruit and had a second-level magic swordsman. Although he was the king of a country, his daily practice had never been interrupted. If there were no special circumstances, it would be normal to live to be over 90 years old. And he is less than seventy years old this year!

His Majesty the frightened and angry king investigated for a long time, but could not find any clues. However, this kind of thing did not seem to require obvious evidence. When he was sad, he suddenly received a secret report from the Imperial Academy. Marshal Qiu's illness for many years was cured!

This news made His Majesty the King overjoyed. Then, he endured the excitement of his inner emotions and secretly contacted Qiu Chen and learned that the person who cured him was the third son of the Imperial General Ling Tianxiao. Then, yesterday he suddenly announced that a grand banquet would be held, in order to celebrate the first battle between humans and the beast tribe in hundreds of years and achieved great victory!

Then, while the banquet was about to announce a shocking news - the strong return of the old marshal of the Empire and Qiu Chen!

At present, except for Qiu Chen's family, Shangguan Yutong, and His Majesty the King, no one knew that Qiu Chen was cured by Ling Xiao, so Qiu Chen suddenly appeared in front of people as a fifth-level magic swordsman again. In addition to reassuring the majority of the nobles and returning the imperial war god, it will definitely make some people frightened!

As for the enthronement of Ling Xiao as viscount and fief of Cameron, this can better show His Majesty the King's skill. The reason is very simple. Ling Xiao found and killed Haitian, the murderer who was massacred in the Marquis's family!

This alone can get the support of almost all nobles! After all, after the tragedy that year, everyone was in danger for a long time, and the nobles were silent. It was also from that time that those nobles realized the terribleness of high-level warriors and began to attract high-level warriors as family aides or worshipers.

However, only this one is the title of Viscount Ling Xiao, and the prince will definitely object. The Ling family has already produced a third-class duke. Although it is not hereditary, it has barely squeezed into the ranks of first-class families in the empire. If another hereditary viscount is produced, the Ling family will definitely become more and more powerful! Especially the nobles with fiefs can all have their own private soldiers! The prince is already in a disagreement with the Ling family, so how can he let the Ling family grow bigger?

But the old king set Ling Xiao’s fief at that important taxation area, one of the richest cities in the south, Cameron Town!

I believe that as long as people who are not stupid will see that the old king is using the Ling family to balance the Southern King. Since this is the case, His Royal Highness, who has always been deeply afraid of his second brother, will never raise any objections even if he is unwilling to do so.

He wished to see the Ling family and the King of Southern Fight fight to the death! As for the Ling family and the King of Southern Fight collusion... the prince wanted to see such a scene, so he had the best excuse to attack his brave second brother.

In this matter, the one who seemed to suffer the most was the King of Southern Li Wutong. Although he would receive some rewards for his merits in fighting orcs, his good piece of fat meat was divided up by others!

And just like that, this person is his son's close friend!

Although in the face of interests, the friendship of the children's generation may not be as hard as the window paper, in order to consider it in the long run, Li Wutong will definitely not be willing to offend the Ling family! An ally like Duoling Tianxiao is obviously better than an enemy like Duoling!

Therefore, behind the seemingly absurd reward, there are so many twists and turns hidden!

Using a child actually completely balanced his two sons! Although this is equivalent to using the Ling family, the old king thinks that he has given the Ling family enough benefits! Moreover, everyone in the entire Blue Moon Empire should be loyal to the great King! Isn’t it?

To be honest, Ling Xiao could not have guessed so many inside stories without experiencing such struggles between senior officials, but one thing is that Ling Xiao first has nothing to do with external things, and is superior to everything in the eyes of the world, and can even give his life to fame and fortune. To him, it is nothing more than a passing cloud! What Ling Xiao cares about and wants to protect are just a few people.

So, in this case, the old king was wrong to first guess Ling Xiao’s starting point!

He could never imagine that as a child of a noble, what Ling Xiao was thinking in his mind was completely different from other people!

Therefore, some things he hopes to see will not be seen at all in the future.
