Chapter 196 The King's Scheme

Ye Zi looked at Ling Xiaozu in a daze for a few seconds, and the smile in his eyes gradually spread to his beautiful face. Finally, he couldn't help but bent down without any image, laughed, covered his stomach, and said while laughing: "Ling Xiao, haha, it's rare that you are so curious, I'm happy. Don't you... You thought that as long as it was an ancient ruin, there must be treasures inside, right? Hahaha!"

Ling Xiao touched his nose and was a little embarrassed by laughing. Thinking about it, he couldn't help laughing. This was indeed a bit embarrassing. No wonder his sister Ling Su liked archaeology, and anything related to the word "ancient" always makes people feel mysterious.

Ye Weini smiled for a while, tears burst out. Her hands suddenly remained on Ling Xiao's neck. Her delicate red lips gently printed on Ling Xiao's face, then let go, staring at Ling Xiao affectionately and said, "Actually, this is the best for you. Recently, as your strength improves, I feel that your calmness is becoming more and more scared. I am afraid that when will you lose you, Ling Xiao, will you leave me?"

Ling Xiao and Ye Weini looked at each other, and the air seemed to become a little charming. Looking at Ye Zi's redder face, Ling Xiao chuckled and said, "How could that be? Don't think too much, I won't leave you!"

In fact, in the world of cultivation, those who form Taoist partners all have secret methods of dual cultivation. Both parties improve and become stronger together. However, Ling Xiao didn't know how to say this to Ye Zi. Maybe the time has not come.

Ling Xiao thought to himself: With his own ability, these people around him will definitely be able to have a long life span within decades, so there are some things that you don’t have to rush for a moment.

Ye Weini said at this time: "That ancient ruin was discovered about a few hundred years ago. The things inside had been taken away long ago. There was nothing that could make us get rich if there was any... we would have gone to get it!"

Ling Xiao nodded and said, "In this way, there are many ancient ruins on this continent, but not all treasures will be unearthed from any ruin, right?"

Ye Weini returned: "Of course, on the Canglan Continent, there are hundreds of countries of all sizes and sizes on our East Continent alone. Among them, Lanyue and neighboring Zichuan are two countries with the largest territory. The remaining countries have different sizes. In fact, each country has countless ancient ruins. From ancient times to the present, more than tens of thousands of years, there are many ruins. The mulberry fields have turned into seas, and some may be buried by mountains, just like the Vatican Snow Mountain we have been to. I heard that ancient temples are buried there! It's just that I heard that no one really discovered it."

"Yes, the East Continent is very big. By the way, Ye Zi, do you know the West Continent?"

Ling Xiao asked, his understanding of this world was limited to the memory of the former master and some of the books he read later, which was far less clear than that of the leaves who were born and raised on this land.

Ye Zi shook his head slightly and said, "East and West Continents, across the sea, our Blue Moon Empire is located at the easternmost point. From the West Continent, it has to cross many countries to reach the west coast, and then cross the sea to reach the western continent. However, I heard that the people there are no different from ours. It is said that the East and West Continents were originally the same in ancient times, but later a war broke out, angering the gods, split by the gods, and divided them into two halves, and from then on, they looked across the sea."

Ling Xiao nodded. This world is very big and wonderful. At present, he is just lifting a corner of its veil. Ling Xiao thought and said with a smile: "Yezi, I haven't thought about traveling around this world one day with me?"

Ye Weini's eyes showed a look of yearning and nodded vigorously: "Of course!"

...

In the western border of the empire, Ling Tianxiao's army was in the camp. When Ling Tianxiao saw the clown, a flying monster with a divine appearance, he couldn't help but be happy for his son. As a father, his son has achieved success, which is much happier than his own!

The cloth bag containing letters was untied from the clown's legs, and Ling Tianxiao asked his shocked personal soldiers to take out some meat to feed the clown. The surprised eyes of the personal soldiers made Ling Tianxiao feel very satisfied. Once upon a time, the personal soldiers around him were actually a little despised by his third son. Ling Tianxiao would certainly feel uncomfortable if he didn't say it.

The fact that he was disappointed that he could not make him strong was a true portrayal of his mood at that time.

Ling Tianxiao pulled out the letter from the bag, turned around and walked back to the tent. The Vatican Snow Mountain shores of Lake Wies are adjacent to the Vatican Snow Mountain. It is only seven, eight, nine, and three months a year. It is the hottest season, but the temperature difference between morning and evening and daytime is still very large!

The sky will be dark, and some brighter stars in the sky are already shining, and the cool wind is blowing in the air, which makes people feel very comfortable.

Ling Tianxiao was used to reading letters in the account. She sat there and took a few glances. Ling Tianxiao stood up suddenly, with a look of shock on her face!

What Ling Xiao said in his letter was a bit too incredible to Ling Tianxiao. Hidden families and sects were born one after another and gathered in Pengzes City. The King of Southern gave him four magic crystal cannons in order to win over Ling Xiao... But Ling Xiao discovered that the sword sect that attacked him on the Carnival was the King of Southern!

As for everything that has happened recently, Ling Xiao did not even hide his identity as Tiger, and told Ling Tianxiao in detail about killing a high-level sword sect. Finally, Ling Xiao suggested that his father should not serve in the army if he could step down. If he still wanted to stay in the army, then take the pill in the cloth bag, and he should be able to be promoted to the middle-level magic sword master...

After Ling Tianxiao finished watching it, he stayed there for a long time. Is this his cowardly son? Or the infatuated seed that even though he was tricked by the girl from the Xie family, he still wanted to protect her? No matter how he felt it was, he didn't look like another person!

Ling Tianxiao was still in his hand. On the one hand, there was no trusted subordinate in the army who was worth using at present. On the other hand, Ling Tianxiao subconsciously left the purple blue fruit in his hand. For him, this was given to him by his son! How could he give it to others easily?

Ling Tianxiao suddenly came to his senses, reached into the bag, took out a pill, which was covered with light green mist, and could not smell anything. Ling Tianxiao's hand shivered slightly, and the pill here seemed to weigh a thousand pounds!

"Is this the pill made of three fifth-level crystal nuclei?" Ling Tianxiao put the pill in his palm, feeling its smoothness and roundness, but he was extremely surprised: "How can a crystal nuclei with huge energy be refined into pills? When did Ling Xiao... learn from whom? Is it true as the rumors say that there is a powerful hidden aristocratic sect that has fallen in love with my three sons?"

Ling Tianxiao thought to himself, and made up his mind and said to the outside of the tent: "I will go into seclusion and practice. No one is allowed to disturb you!"

The personal soldiers outside the tent were Ling Tianxiao's confidant. He responded and strengthened his vigilance.

Ling Tianxiao walked behind and gently pressed a button under the seat. A heavy creaking sound came from the ground, and then a secret door appeared on the ground. Ling Tianxiao stepped in, and the secret door slowly closed, and the dust on the ground was as usual.

Ling Zhi, who was training the new recruits on the Ling family's fiefdom in Chuckner, was also received a letter from the clown. Similarly, after reading the letter, he entered a retreat without any hesitation.

Mrs. Ling from the imperial capital also called her daughter Ling Yun'er back and gave a few instructions. Ling Yun'er happily went into seclusion with a pill.

Mrs. Ling herself also handed over the matter to the housekeeper and entered a state of retreat. These subtle changes are difficult for outsiders to detect. The entire imperial capital is still discussing the benefits of beauty pills and... its expensiveness.

In the palace, next to His Majesty the King were the two third-level sword sects, Mr. Rong and Mr. Nangong.

The fragrant tea on the table has cooled down now, but no one has ever drunk it.

His Majesty the King broke the deadlock and said with a forced smile: "The two elders have read the secret report, what do you think?"

Mr. Rong said: "I have been studying the beauty pill for a long time, but I have not been able to find any herbs from it. But a few days ago, I suddenly thought of the herbs that Ling Xiao had asked us to look for, so I asked someone to get me another one. Hey, I finally found one of the medicines in it, but it was not the main ingredient. Alas, I don't know if it was made by Ling Xiao himself. If it is true, this guy... is simply a genius!"

Mr. Nangong cleared his throat and said, "I am more inclined to have this son accidentally obtained the ancient secret recipe! It records countless contents about alchemy and medical skills. Haha, if you consider it from the perspective of a warrior, what he gets... is a god-level martial art!"

His Majesty the King couldn't help but take a breath, and his eyes shot out of unconcealed greed, saying, "If that's true, the royal family deserves this magical thing!"

His Majesty the King said bluntly to the two powerful sword sects who had no desire to hide his emotions.

Old Nangong and Old Rong looked at each other and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, you haven't seen the news from the secret report. A group of strong men suddenly emerged beside Ling Xiao! Even Meng Li, who was once beside the royal clan Li Houlin, now has the strength of a high-level magic swordsman. The top sword sect in the hidden family was torn apart by the people around Ling Xiao. It is obviously a master with the strength of a sword emperor! Your Majesty... do you think the royal family... may be able to get it?"

His Majesty the King shook his head disapprovingly and said, "In terms of strength, I am far from being the opponent of your two elders. In the eyes of you, my strength is probably no different from that of ant, but if it is the turn of strategy, I believe that your two elders will be slightly worse!"

"You boy, we have watched you grow up since childhood. Okay, then tell me, why did you get other people's things? That little baby is kind to you!" Mr. Rong was quite straightforward and said directly.

His Majesty the King said disapprovingly: "First of all, I have the support of the two elders. Don't say that they are not opponents of the Sword Emperor. Then, the families of the two elders will not even betray the Sword Emperor, right? If I really get that secret recipe, how dare I take it alone? At that time, there will definitely be the second elder family! This is one of them, and the second is that his father Ling Tianxiao has always been loyal to me and will definitely not betray me. Therefore, if I add a high-ranking official title and reward you with all my kindness, I am afraid that the boy will not hand over the things obediently?"

Old Nangong frowned slightly, and there was no expression on his old face, and he just said softly: "Your Majesty is going to threaten that little baby? Do you know how the high-level sword sect died? I heard... it was because he kept threatening the little baby with his family, which completely angered him, so that his subordinates tore the sword sect to death, shocking everyone in one fell swoop!"

The king was silent for a while, and then said, "Don't the two elders want that secret recipe?" As he said that, he looked at Mr. Rong with a bright look: "Especially Mr. Rong, I have been devoted to studying medical skills and alchemy all my life. If I can get that secret recipe, I must break through the Sword Sect and enter the Sword Emperor, and then enter the Sword Lord in the future... I may not be able to do it!"

Indeed, Mr. Rong and Mr. Nangong have already read the secret report of His Majesty the King. It is impossible to hide the fact that the people around Ling Xiao’s rapid progress has been made. This shows that Ling Xiao must have a pill to improve his strength! If he can obtain that secret recipe, he may have successfully advanced in his lifetime, and at that time, his life span... will be much longer!

Old Mr. Rong twitched slightly, and couldn't help but sigh softly: "Your Majesty's move, there is no turning back arrow!"

Old Nangong suddenly said, "What if that little baby keeps his hand when he heals His Majesty... what should I do?"

His Majesty the King was slightly stunned and then said, "If you get the secret recipe, what can he do if he keeps his hands? I can trust Mr. Rong's medical skills. He is a little baby, a waste a year ago, and has such strength a year later. If it weren't for the magical secret book, how could he do this?"

Mr. Rong sighed softly, as if he felt that His Majesty the King was a little too heartless, and reminded him: "Behind that kid, there may be a hidden family with a very powerful strength to support him. The master of the Sword Emperor's strength... It's proof! If you anger the other party, it will not end."

His Majesty the King waved his hand disapprovingly: "I suspect that the boy was just a secret book he got by chance. The master of the sword emperor's strength was brought out from the Pengzes swamp. Humph, who knows if it is a human!"

The two elders all showed a look of shock on their faces. This was not written in the secret report, and they couldn't help but be frightened by His Majesty's powerful intelligence agency. They thought that, indeed, in terms of strategy, neither of them could match His Majesty the King. In this way, whether the prince or the King of the South, could those small actions in private escape His Majesty's eyes?

The king sighed and said, "If the prince hadn't poisoned me back then, how could I have established this intelligence agency? However, today it seems that it is correct. Don't worry too much. I will first reward his Ling family, and then discuss with Ling Xiao. If he doesn't give it, it's not too late to use other methods! If Ling Xiao really has a background, hum... Did the two elders forget that the royal family is not unattended! Didn't they appear in Pengzes City a few days ago?"

Mr. Rong and Mr. Nangong looked at each other, knowing that His Majesty the King's greedy nature had been violated, and his mind had been decided and could not be changed. He couldn't help but sigh and said, "Then let's obey His Majesty's arrangements!"
