Chapter 117 Lingjia Huzi
The king glanced at Ling Xiao, with no expression on his face. He looked back at Li Tianqi who was crying and aggrieved, with loving eyes in his eyes. He stretched out his hand, touched Li Tianqi's head, and then smiled gently, "Then tell me how he bullied you?"
"He, he...he scolded me!" Li Tianqi stammered for a long time before she thought of the most suitable reason. After all, she was a princess with a noble status and forced herself to ask for a maid. This was indeed a bit unreasonable.
"Oh, why scold you?" The old king glanced at the nobles who were lying on his head with majestic eyes. Those people were shocked. The feelings were too curious and had already aroused the dissatisfaction of His Majesty the King! Although he wanted to know this gossip about the royal family, he didn't dare to stay here. The group of people suddenly scattered, walked away from afar, and secretly looked here.
And his curiosity about Ling Xiao was even more unstoppable. According to their ideas, His Majesty the King should immediately take Ling Xiao down and vent his granddaughter, because no matter what, Ling Xiao contradicted a princess in this royal garden, which was already a traitor. How could the royal dignity be defiled?
However, he didn't expect that His Majesty the King had no intention of dealing with Ling Xiao at all! The old king glanced at Li Tianlie lightly, and Ulanto and others who were still standing behind Li Tianlie, frowned slightly. Li Tianlie hurriedly said, "Go away." He winked at his subordinates, and a group of people left hurriedly.
Li Tianqi was born in the royal family and had never suffered any grievances since childhood. She developed a habit of being arrogant and willful, but she was not stupid. Seeing that her grandfather actually dismissed everyone, leaving her, the damn man, and the two beautiful maids, she suddenly became uneasy.
He shouted softly in a crying voice: "Grandpa..."
"Okay, now you can tell me what's going on."
Li Tianqi did not dare to hide anything in front of her grandfather, and she did not dare to do whatever she wanted, and said weakly about what she had just happened. After saying that, she did not dare to look up at her grandfather's face. At this moment, she knew that she would definitely not be able to do what she wanted today, and not being scolded was the best result. She couldn't help but look at Ling Xiao secretly and saw that the man looked indifferent, as if even his grandfather didn't take it seriously. Li Tianqi was angry: Bad man! What's so great! Remember me, I remember you, I will take revenge one day. At that time, I will mainly be able to survive, but I will not be able to die!
Of course, His Majesty the King knows what kind of personality his granddaughter Princess Tianqi is. He knows that she has been spoiled since she was a child and is provoked by Ling Xiao. This kid is neither humble nor arrogant in front of him, let alone you are a little girl. It is definitely useless to hold the princess's airs with him!
What's more, His Majesty the King was still thinking about the words of the two Sword Sects of Mr. Rong and Mr. Nangong, and was worried that he would not find the opportunity to win over Ling Xiao. Now that there is such a good opportunity, how could he let it go. Thinking of this, His Majesty the King's face darkened and he scolded: "Tianqi, you are fifteen years old this year. One year, you will reach the age of adulthood. Why are you still making such a mess? Do you still think that the person you are wrong in your heart? Are you right?"
"Ah, no, no, grandpa, Tianqi, Tianqi knows that she is wrong." After Li Tianqi finished speaking, she burst into tears and turned around and ran away. Unexpectedly, even the grandpa who loved her the most protected the young man so much today, causing her to lose all her face. If you don't take revenge, you will not be a human being! Li Tianqi swears in her heart.
"Ling Xiao, Princess Tianqi is a girl, so don't be as good as her." The old king didn't ask Ling Xiao what she said to Princess Tianqi, but instead apologized to him in disguise!
The lord of a country and the king of one of the largest empires on the mainland personally apologizes to a young man. If he tells him out, he will shock countless people!
Chunlan and Qiuyue, who witnessed all this, were shocked and even forgot to salute His Majesty the King. When the King turned around and left, Chunlan and Qiuyue, two women with the cultivation level of the fourth-level sword master, were a little weak. Looking at His Majesty the little thin back, then looking at Ling Xiao’s eyes were full of admiration!
This little episode at the banquet soon passed, and the nobles seemed to have forgotten this matter. They just whispered, and most of them were guessing what the old king said, which made the noble princess run away in tears. In short, people can already confirm one thing - the third son of the Ling family who was originally useless seemed to be... favored!
The climax of today's banquet is that the old Marshal Qiu Chen appears in public!
So many young nobles did not know who the old man was, and were deeply despised by the nobles with deep backgrounds around them! They actually didn't even recognize the imperial war god, the fifth-level demon swordsman, and the old marshal Qiu Chen. They were still nobles. It was a shame for the nobles!
In fact, the nobles themselves are a forgetful class. In comparison, none of the people of the Blue Moon Empire have forgotten who the military god is, and they will never forget that they can live a stable and peaceful life, and the old Marshal Qiuchen has made great contributions!
His Royal Highness seemed to have just finished his government affairs. When he came here, he happened to see Marshal Qiu Chen standing there in full spirit and greeting everyone. A trace of gloom flashed in his eyes. Although it only flashed by, he was still noticed by his father, a palace maid, and quietly turned around and left here.
His Majesty the King also saw the prince and yawned in great difficulty. He covered his mouth with his hands, touched the tears that had overflowed from the corners of his eyes because of the yawn, and then he cheered up and said, "There are beasts in the south of the empire, and we...repel their attack!"
The nobles below cheered passionately and slapped desperately. Even if they were not monarchs who were very happy with me, they would be very excited, right?
"In this battle, our warriors, they all showed their heroic side! Now, please invite our warrior representatives... the third son of Ling Tianxiao's family, the governor of the Western Xinjiang of the Empire, Ling Xiao, comes on the court. I will personally award him a medal!"
Ling Xiao was slightly stunned, feeling that almost everyone's eyes were instantly focused on him, and all kinds of eyes were: envy, jealousy, surprise, disbelief, anger...
Ling Xiao tidied up his clothes slightly, then made a faint smile at Chunlan and Qiuyue beside him, and walked towards His Majesty the King with his head held high and his chest raised.
The nobles seemed to understand why Ling Xiao contradicted the princess in person, and the king did not deal with him!
However, more people are jealous of Ling Xiao’s good luck! How come so many warriors involved in the battle have picked him out alone? Can he really represent those living and dead heroes?
Just a heavenly vein!
Many nobles who participated in the battle looked at Ling Xiao with a pale face, and their hearts were filled with injustice and anger!
Why? Is it because his father is a general?
This is unfair!
As if he heard the silent cry of the nobles present, His Majesty the King smiled faintly and said, "Maybe you have a question in your heart, why can Ling Xiao represent those heroes. Yes, everyone in the defense battle in Cameron Town is a hero! Each of them is a warrior of the empire! But Ling Xiao not only participated in that battle and performed well, but just a few days ago, he successfully discovered a fugitive who had been wanted by the empire for many years."
The old king said, sighing softly: "Most of you should still remember the Marquis of Mancini of that year?"
A sigh came from the crowd. Marquis Mancini was also a popular figure in the imperial court at that time. As a result, for some reason, he got into Haitian, who was still a first-level magic swordsman at that time. All the house was slaughtered overnight!
This incident shocked the entire imperial capital at that time! Almost all nobles were in danger!
At the same time, people in the upper class of the imperial capital were angry. Is it impossible for them to be able to guarantee their own safety as long as they attacked high-level warriors?
As a result, a sword sect in the imperial city took action and captured Haitian. Then, Haitian was pushed into prison and was sentenced to death after waiting for public trial.
Unexpectedly, he escaped at some point!
The whole person seemed to disappear, disappearing in front of everyone in the imperial capital.
As a result, a few days ago, a person was hung up at the gate of the imperial capital, and then posted a notice saying that this person was Haitian, the wanted criminal that year!
Almost all the nobles celebrated like the Carnival of the Flame Lion King, but they didn't expect that the incident was related to this young man. Was he who discovered Haitian?
"The old thief from Haitian, with injuries on his body, was killed by the Ling family tiger son with all his might!" His Majesty the King suddenly raised his voice: "Such a warrior, do you think you should reward me!"
The nobles were so shocked by His Majesty the King's words that they could hardly speak. The eyes of Ling Xiao who looked at him again changed completely. Even if they were originally jealous, they were still shocked.
A second-level magic swordsman, even if he is injured, how could he be killed by a... a Heavenly Vein? But this is said from the king, who dares to doubt it!
"How can I not reward the general's son like this? So, I decided to grant Ling Xiao the viscount and the fiefdom to Cameron Town..." His Majesty the King's words were not finished.
