Before, after Tang Li rescued Ji Rou from Ji Lei, Ji Lei had always suspected that Tang Li was hiding in the realm, but now, Tang Li was able to represent the Daqian Empire in the Xuanfu Realm Holy War, which was enough to prove that Tang Li He is definitely a martial artist in the Xuanfu realm.
"He must have borrowed some external force at that time, it must be like this!"
Ji Lei kept telling himself.
In fact, this is also a relatively normal logic. After all, how could anyone in this world have the strength of the fourth level of the Wuji Realm while still in the Xuanfu Realm.
"Tang Li, a common man, has met His Majesty."
Tang Li bowed slightly and saluted. The reason why he saluted was not because Ji Taiping was the emperor, but because he and Ji Rou were friends. To put it bluntly, it was just out of respect for an elder.
"How outrageous! When you see His Majesty, you can't kneel down and bow down. Are you trying to rebel?"
Wu Shen seized the opportunity, pointed at Tang Li and shouted.
Tang Li ignored Wu Shen and just stood there quietly.
Just kidding, he has inherited the blood of the dragon. He is such a noble being, how could he kneel down and worship?
What's more, performing the ritual of kneeling and worshiping will itself have an impact on martial arts practice.
"Imperial sister, what kind of friends have you made? As a subject of the Daqian Empire, it would be too presumptuous not to kneel down and worship my father."
Ji Lei also said coldly, although he knew in his heart that even if Tang Li did not kneel down, Ji Taiping would not punish Tang Li, but at least it would give Ji Taiping a bad first impression of Tang Li.
"Sorry, I'm not from the Daqian Empire, and I don't like to kneel down to others."
Tang Li was neither humble nor arrogant, and said calmly.
Ji Taiping waved his hand and said: "That's all, since you are not a member of my Daqian Empire, there is no need to kneel down and worship."
"But I am very curious, since you are not a member of our Daqian Empire, why would you participate in the Holy War for our Daqian Empire? You must know that a Holy War is a battle of life and death."
Ji Taiping asked again.
"Firstly, the Seventh Princess and I are friends, and friends should help each other. Secondly, I witnessed with my own eyes the brutal behavior of the Daewoo Empire's army in Yancheng. My master once taught me to do something for the people of the world. Some good things.”
Tang Li made up a reason casually.
"Okay! Your master has taught a good apprentice." Ji Taiping nodded, very satisfied with Tang Li's answer, and then continued: "I have heard Rou'er tell you about your deeds. You can rely on your own efforts." Helped our Daqian Empire win the Holy War, not only saved our 100,000 troops of the Daqian Empire, but also saved the people of Beiling City, and also retreated the Daewoo Empire’s army. Such achievements can be regarded as unparalleled. Wonderful achievement! Tell me, whatever reward you want, I can satisfy you as long as I have it."
"Since His Majesty has said so, you are welcome to the ordinary people. I heard that the Daqian Empire has a quota for directly participating in the selection of inner disciples of the Dragon Elephant Sect. I need one."
Tang Li didn't mince words and said directly.
As soon as he said this, Ji Taiping frowned slightly and said immediately: "According to the rules of the Holy Sect, as long as the bone age is not more than twenty years old, you are eligible to directly participate in the selection of inner disciples. I think your bone age should be less than seventeen. Why don't you stay in the imperial capital to practice for two years? After two years, I will give you another place. I can guarantee you that within these two years, you will enter the Royal Academy of our Daqian Empire to practice. , and enjoy the best treatment.”
"Your Majesty, the common people want to enter the Dragon Elephant Sect as soon as possible. If Your Majesty is in trouble, the common people will resign first. At that time, I will participate in the selection of the outer disciples of the Dragon Elephant Sect."
Tang Li bowed slightly and saluted before leaving.
"Brother Tang, wait a minute!"
Ji Xian stopped Tang Li. Ever since he saw Tang Li's talent, he had already had the idea of winning over Tang Li.
"Father, Tang Li has made extraordinary achievements for our Daqian Empire. I believe that his military achievements can be fully exchanged for a place to directly participate in the selection of inner disciples of the Holy Sect. I sincerely ask my father to grant me."
After Ji Xian stopped Tang Li, he knelt down and begged Ji Taiping.
"Father, Tang Li is a peerless genius. It would be a pity for him not to directly become an inner disciple of the Holy Sect. I beg Father to agree to his request."
Ji Rou also knelt down and begged.
"Peerless genius? He just defeated that good-for-nothing Park Jin-woon. Calling him a peerless genius is too exaggerated, right? As far as I know, that good-for-nothing Park Jin-woon can't even make it into the top ten in the Daewoo Empire's genius rankings. .”
At this time, Ji Lei also stood up, looked at Tang Li and mocked.
"Hey... I also know that Tang Li has accomplished extraordinary feats. With his military exploits, let alone a place to directly participate in the selection of inner disciples of the Holy Sect, it is more than enough to be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister. But those I have already allocated the quotas, so you can't let me keep my word."
Ji Taiping sighed and said, he knew that in the near future, Tang Li's deeds would definitely be spread, and by then, Tang Li would become a hero of the entire empire. If this matter is not handled properly, I am afraid it will stir up trouble. Public outrage.
"Father, please remember, didn't you specifically give me a quota that requires military merit?"
Ji Xian asked.
"There was a rebellion in Yuzhou some time ago. Guo Tianba asked for orders to quell the rebellion. He wiped out the rebels in one fell swoop and established an investment of 200,000. His Majesty has already given the quota to Guo Tianba."
A general said to Ji Xian.
"Father, please forgive me for speaking frankly. I remember that you once said that the quota will be determined one month before the Longxiang Sect recruits people. Whoever gets the higher military merit will have the quota. Just now , Father, you have also said that with Tang Li's contribution, it is enough to be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister, and it should be worth more than 200,000 military merits, right? Now, there is still such a long time before the selection of the inner disciples of the Dragon Elephant Sect, you have already In the eyes of my son, it goes against my father’s original intention to put the name down.”
Ji Xian gritted his teeth. In order to win over Tang Li, he would not hesitate to make Ji Taiping unhappy.
"Presumptuous! Are you questioning His Majesty?"
Wu Shen shouted angrily.
At the same time, the ministers in the court were also whispering. They had not seen anyone who dared to talk to the emperor like this in the court hall for a long time.
Hearing this, Ji Taiping was also a little embarrassed. In fact, he couldn't blame him for this matter. After all, one hundred thousand military merits had always been enough to exchange for a quota. At that time, Ji Taiping thought that Guo Batian could make two With 100,000 military merits, there was no doubt that he would get a spot, so the spot was given to him in advance. No one expected that something like this would happen.
"Father, regarding this matter, I have a better solution."
At this time, Ji Lei suddenly smiled ferociously and said.
