In their opinion, if this young man is a martial artist in the longevity realm, then it makes sense that General Zhao is so respectful to this person. Only masters in the longevity realm are qualified to be their master of General Zhao.
In addition, the masters of the life extension realm are already "living gods". To extend life span, it is natural to extend their life span. Their life span is several times that of ordinary mortals. Maybe a person who looks seventeen or eighteen years old may already be seventeen or eighty years old.
If this is the case, then it is normal to look so young.
Regarding his own cultivation, Xing Tian really had nothing to hide, but he didn't say anything and just smiled faintly. Linglong on the side said: "What about the life extension realm? Xing Tian has already cultivated to the extraordinary realm!"
Extraordinary realm?
Immediately, Zhao Tingyu and many generals behind him were stunned.
If the longevity realm is already a living god, what is the transcendent realm? At least among the many large-scale martial arts sects, there are only a few warriors in the transcendent realm.
Not to mention the warriors in the extraordinary realm, even the warriors in the longevity realm can support a first-class martial arts sect.
This time when everyone looked at Xing Tian, their expressions were no longer respectful, but awe.
This is the natural fear of the strong in nature. Even Zhao Tingyu took a long time to come to his senses, and then he was ecstatic in his heart, secretly thinking that he had worshiped a transcendent master, which was a real profit.
After this small episode, everyone immediately got back to business. In fact, if they were afraid that the news they had received was wrong, then seeing Zhao Tingyu and others in mourning clothes, Linglong and Xingtian knew in their hearts that Emperor Zhao had really passed away.
.
Zhao Tingyu didn't know the details of this either. He was only ordered to borrow the princess to return to the country. All other matters could only be known after returning to the imperial city of the Zhao Dynasty. Then Xingtian and Linglong did not stay, and ran all the way, day and night.
Finally, after seven days, he rushed back to the imperial city of the Zhao Dynasty.
What you see along the road is also a sign of national mourning, especially in the imperial city. The walls are covered with white cloth, and white flags are hung on the flagpoles in the city. Some places for fun in the willow alleys with fireworks are also closed to thank guests. We dare not get into trouble at this juncture.
.
Emperor Zhao's coffin is still in the palace. This is also in accordance with his legacy. He will never be buried until Linglong returns. Naturally, when Linglong rushed back, she was crying bitterly. In the mourning hall, there were already many princes and grandsons there.
waiting.
When they saw Linglong, they all had different expressions, but Emperor Zhao had left a legacy and wanted Linglong to ascend the throne. Although this was unreasonable, and most of them were even dissatisfied, Linglong's status was completely different. They all looked at each other,
Just step forward and salute.
Of course, there were also those who saw Linglong ignoring him, and they were all the sons of Emperor Zhao. When they saw Linglong, the hatred in their eyes was not hidden at all, and some even sneered, obviously because they wanted to see Linglong, the big man.
The joke about the first female emperor of the Zhao Dynasty does not even exclude the possibility that some of them are preparing to operate secretly and do some conspiracies.
Among the princes, the only one who cared about Linglong was her brother Zhao Yi. When he saw Linglong returning, he was the first to greet her. With tears in his eyes, he said in a long voice: "Sister, you are back.
Go and pay homage to your father."
Linglong had just rushed back, and she also knew that it was not appropriate to say much at this juncture, so she immediately put on mourning and went forward to kneel down in front of the coffin to perform royal sacrifices.
Xing Tian was not allowed to enter the Soul Guarding Hall, so he and Xiao Bai waited outside.
There are also a large number of people outside, and there are many people brought by the princes and grandsons of various families. In addition, the palace is full of maids, eunuchs and guards. However, at the moment, no one dares to make a noise. They are all standing quietly.
With.
Among them, Xing Tian suddenly saw the old eunuch who often accompanied Emperor Zhao. When the latter saw Xing Tian, he nodded and walked over.
When he came closer, the old eunuch was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xing Tian carefully, and then his face showed a look of horror. I am afraid that only Xing Tian can know the meaning of this look.
"I've met Mr. Xing!" The old eunuch was surprisingly respectful to Xing Tian. Xing Tian also nodded and said, "Eunuch, it's good for you!"
"Mr. Xing, can you please take a moment to speak!" The old eunuch obviously had something to say to Xing Tian. When Xing Tian thought about it, the death of Emperor Zhao was a bit sudden and a bit strange. Maybe the old eunuch knew the inside story, but it was a bit strange.
nodded.
The two of them walked one after another towards a pavilion outside the courtyard. There was no one around, so the old eunuch stopped and said: "Master Xing, you are indeed blessed with unparalleled luck. This time you have cultivated to the extraordinary realm. Your Majesty, he
There is a soul in the sky, and I will definitely be very happy. Princess Linglong can have you to help take care of her, and the emperor will definitely feel at ease."
Obviously, the old eunuch was surprised just now because he discovered Xing Tian's current cultivation level.
Anyone who can see Xingtian's cultivation level at a glance must be a person with advanced cultivation. They must at least have eyesight above the Tongqiao realm. Otherwise, if you look at it from a warrior below the Tongqiao realm, you can only feel that Xingtian's temperament has come out of the dust, but
But I can't feel its true cultivation at all.
"Father, what do you say?" When Xing Tian heard what the old eunuch said, he felt something was wrong. He felt that Emperor Zhao had long known that he was going to die.
What the old eunuch said next surprised Xing Tian.
After a long time, Xing Tiancai murmured: "It turns out that Emperor Zhao was seriously injured in his early years, and it was caused by his failure when he failed to break through the catastrophe of the Earthly Immortal Realm. Unexpectedly, a generation of emperors turned out to be warriors in the Extraordinary Realm."
While talking, Xing Tian was impressed by Emperor Zhao's scheming.
Hearing Xing Tian's murmur, the old eunuch said with a look of reverence: "Your Majesty, he is extremely talented and possesses the mind of an emperor. Not only is he extraordinary in martial arts, but he also wants to build the Zhao Dynasty into a paradise. It should be noted that when the Emperor ascends the throne,
, the territory of the Zhao Dynasty is only half the size of today, and the national power is even weaker. If the emperor had not worked hard to govern, how could there be today's prosperous dynasty? Originally, the emperor planned to break through the fairyland and make the country of the Zhao Dynasty more stable, but he failed to overcome the disaster.
He almost died. Although he escaped death by luck in the end, he was seriously injured and his spiritual consciousness was damaged. He had been using elixirs to maintain his health for so many years, but it could only be delayed. The emperor knew that his end was approaching a few months ago, and his death was
The Hou Shen Nian will also die, so he thought of a fight with the Tianlang Dynasty to gain an opportunity. However, he did not expect that Young Master Xing could actually kill King Zhou Lie this time. If the emperor knew better, he would definitely
It will be a joy.”
After a pause, the old eunuch continued: "As for Princess Linglong, she is the one the emperor has determined to inherit the throne. Although the princess is a daughter, the emperor is not bound by secular rules and established the first female emperor in history.
It can be seen that the emperor's talents and strategies are unmatched by anyone. In addition, the reason why the emperor decided to establish Linglong as empress was also due to the contribution of Mr.
The Zhao Dynasty will definitely achieve a century of prosperity. This is the emperor's original intention. Now there are some people in the Zhao Dynasty who want to peek at the throne. The emperor believes that with Young Master Xing here, no one can hinder Linglong's ascension to the throne. For this reason, the emperor
There is a posthumous edict, and Prince Xing is appointed as the Minister of Supervision. His official position can control all the officials of the Zhao Dynasty. The princes and nobles, even the Linglong Empress, also need to listen to the words of the Minister of Supervision, and have the right to kill first and report later!"
As he said that, the old eunuch bowed to Xing Tian. Xing Tian looked complicated and ignored him.
Emperor Zhao's move was obviously premeditated. The credit for being able to quell the massive invasion of the Sirius Dynasty will undoubtedly be given to Linglong. In this way, no one can question the credit. Coupled with Emperor Zhao's wishes,
It is natural for Linglong to ascend the throne. Even if there are some problems, because of his own existence, he can pave the way for Linglong.
It can be said that Emperor Zhao was so scheming that he had already planned everything.
Just speaking from the bottom of his heart, Xing Tian does not want Linglong to be emperor. Imperial power and hegemony may seem beautiful, but it is also a prison. As for Emperor Zhao, if it were not for his status as emperor and the constraints of the dynasty, with his qualifications, he might be able to survive.
After the Earthly Immortal Tribulation, you will achieve the Earthly Immortal Realm and even go further on the road to martial arts.
It was because of the concerns in his heart and the cage of imperial power that he lost his heart as a warrior, and eventually died from serious injuries, and even his spiritual thoughts disappeared.
In addition, if Linglong becomes emperor, he may not be able to be with him legitimately. This is what Xing Tian cares about most.
The old eunuch then left, and Xing Tian was in a daze for a long time before walking out slowly. He could only wait until Emperor Zhao was buried before making plans for this matter, and Xing Tian also wanted to hear Linglong's opinion.
Late at night, the palace hall.
Linglong stood alone in the hall, and in her hand was a handwritten letter left to her by Emperor Zhao, in which the ins and outs of the incident were explained very clearly.
Thinking of Emperor Zhao's good intentions, Linglong could only smile bitterly in return.
She didn't want to be the emperor, but she couldn't do it right now. Firstly, it was the late emperor's order and she had to obey it. Secondly, the Zhao Dynasty was now leaderless, and the country couldn't live without a king for a day. If she didn't ascend the throne, the consequences would be
When various forces jump out to compete for power, the country's dynasty will immediately fall into chaos.
This is not what Linglong wants to see.
But once she ascends the throne and becomes the female emperor, it is equivalent to putting a shackles on herself. More importantly, what should Xing Tian do?
Thinking of Xing Tian, Linglong was even more upset. Before sunset, Linglong knew that Emperor Zhao had issued another decree, which was to make Xing Tian the Minister of Supervision. This was a powerful position, but Linglong knew that Xing Tian would definitely not like it.
But Xing Tian did not refuse, and the reason was obviously for himself.
Whether to take the overall situation into consideration and aggrieve oneself, or to follow one's heart and be carefree has now become the most difficult multiple-choice question.
At this moment, footsteps sounded behind Linglong. Without turning around, Linglong knew that it was Xing Tian who was coming.
Linglong immediately turned around and threw herself into Xingtian's arms, burying her head in Xingtian's chest for a long time without saying a word.
The person who came was naturally Xing Tian. He was very angry about Emperor Zhao's actions, but he had to give in. However, Xing Tian went back and thought about it for a few hours, and finally came up with a compromise. (To be continued. Please search Gone with the Wind.
