As the capital of the Dou Ling Empire, Lingdou City is very similar to Tiandou City in terms of appearance planning and layout. It is just another replica, except that the sense of heaviness accumulated by history is missing.
But at least it has been thousands of years since the founding of the country...
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, Ye Ming followed the crowd into Lingdou City smoothly. There was nothing unusual about the guards at the city gate, and the crowd around him didn't look like they were talking about hot topics. Everything seemed extraordinarily calm.
Seeing this scene, Ye Ming felt a little more at ease. He must not be late.
He knows that the teacher is not a foolish and loyal person. With his strength, if there is really danger, a battle will definitely break out in the city. The title battle cannot be covered up casually, unless the Dou Ling Empire hides an old monster at the extreme level, or
There are several superpowers above level 96, otherwise they shouldn't be so calm.
But is that possible?
The answer is of course no. If this country really had such strength, how could it be attacked in the face by a level nine soul-guided artillery shell, and the royal family was once wiped out?
Thinking of this, Ye Ming couldn't help but smile. The Dou Ling Empire was also one of the four great empires. No matter how unbearable it was, he should not despise it.
Thinking about this, the young man couldn't help but move a little faster...
…
The imperial palace is located in the center of Lingdou City and occupies a huge area. On the west side of the palace, in the western area of Lingdou City, there are rows of luxurious mansions.
This is the residence of the nobles of the court, and it is distinct from several other urban areas. Dou Ling Royal Soul Master Academy is also located here.
On the edge of Xicheng District, there is a regular mansion with the three characters "Princess Palace" on its inscription.
The plaque on it looks to be quite old. In contrast, there are two rows of heavily armored guards in front of the door. The dark armor extends into ferocious curves, and the eyes under the visor also shine with sharp brilliance.
If you observe carefully, you will find that these guards are all soul masters with soul power, and each of them has a good level of cultivation, at least above the third ring!
Apart from this, there were only three people holding gifts in the entire street who seemed to be about to leave after being rejected. The rest were deserted.
When Ye Ming arrived, he was stopped as expected, and this move just caught the attention of the three people not far away.
"Pause."
The three of them were headed by a young man who was about fifteen or sixteen years old. He was dressed in fine clothes and stopped the two people beside him. Then he frowned and looked at the young man who was about the same age as himself not far away.
Seeing this, the entourage on the side said with flattery on his face: "I didn't expect that there would be such a reckless person in this imperial capital. Now who doesn't know that Chief Mu is about to die? At this critical moment, he doesn't even have time to hide, but he takes the initiative to surround him. I see..."
kindness--?
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he saw the master next to him snort, and a trace of murderous intent appeared in his indifferent eyes.
This glance really frightened the entourage. He fell to his knees with a cry and immediately slapped his mouth with the palm of his hand.
"This slave talks too much... This slave deserves to die..."
The slaps were very hard, and the loud cracking sound resounded throughout the street. Even the people in front of the princess's house were a little startled and looked towards this side.
Seeing this young man in rich clothes, he bowed his hands to everyone, and then the entourage stopped. The people opposite also looked away and continued to say something.
"Guanshi Huang, have you ever seen that person?"
The young man in rich clothes asked the old man on the other side, his attitude was completely different from that of his entourage, and he even used honorifics in his address.
"No, there are no such people among the princes, nobles and their heirs in the imperial capital."
"I said so. It seems that this person knows Chief Mu. What is his cultivation level?"
"..."
"This...I can't feel it clearly." The old man held his forehead and quickly lowered his eyes to look at the other person.
oh?
Hearing this, the young man became somewhat interested. Did he know that the old man next to him was capable? He not only had profound cultivation, but also a martial spirit with rare spiritual attributes. He also had unique skills. An ordinary soul master could tell the other person's cultivation at just one glance.
Because, this is why the family spent a lot of money to invite him to his side.
You must know that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the imperial capital. There are many high-level soul masters who like to pretend to be ordinary people on weekdays. They get this help to avoid provoking untouchable beings.
And this old man is really talented. He just discovered a shocking secret when he visited the princess's mansion. Could it be that he is exhausted because of this and his talent is insufficient at this time?
The young man didn't know, but he didn't force him. He didn't turn around and leave until he saw the person entering the door smoothly.
"Kneel here for a day, and you are not allowed to go back until the time is up!"
"yes!"
The attendant looked at his master's leaving figure and finally felt relieved.
…
Ye Ming was introduced to the mansion by Mr. Li, and he was a little surprised by the scene in front of Fangcai's door.
The old man explained: "As you can see, the guards in front of the door were arranged by His Majesty. As for the three people who visited previously, they came from the residence of the Generalissimo of the current dynasty. However, the city lord told them early in the morning not to pay attention to them."
Ye Ming nodded, saying that he had just realized that someone was using spiritual skills to probe him, and he returned the favor.
"Where's the teacher? I rushed here non-stop after I received the letter, so I shouldn't be late."
"It's not too late." The old man sighed, and continued: "The city lord has entered the palace early this morning. Before he left, he gave instructions that if a battle breaks out in the palace, I will take Qing'er and flee. It is best to flee to
Shrek, I called you here just to support you.
At that time, the city lord alone can hold back all the titled Douluo in the city, and I can also find a way to send Qing'er out of the city. As for the rest, it will be up to you."
Ye Ming followed the old man all the way to the main hall, and then couldn't help but ask: "What happened in the palace? Why did the situation suddenly become so serious."
"This is just a worst-case scenario."
The old man stroked his beard and motioned Ye Ming to sit down, "The city chief sent Qing'er away in order not to leave any weak spots, so that there would be room for war, peace, or escape."
"As for the cause..." the old man paused and thought for a moment before continuing: "A month ago, there was a Protector Douluo who wanted to ask the royal family to marry his descendants. That Protector was one of the few in the empire.
It is hard for the royal family to refute his honor in worshiping Douluo, but among the current princesses, they are either too young or already engaged, so there is simply no suitable candidate."
"But what does this have to do with the teacher?" Ye Ming frowned.
"Originally nothing happened, but as the deadline was approaching, just when His Majesty was in a state of panic, He Fang Xiao suggested that he could be selected from among the princesses and given the title of princess. From this, Qing'er also came into the sight of some people.
"
What?!
The tea cup in Ye Ming's hand suddenly exploded, and his eyes widened, realizing that the words he just heard were too unbelievable.
Qing'er? How old is she?
Speaking of which, she and I haven't seen each other for three years. In Ye Ming's memory, she still looked like a little girl. How could any beast have an idea against her?!
The old man had a clear view of Ye Ming's performance from the side, and did not care about him crushing the cup. He only waited for his mood to calm down a little before explaining: "Qing'er is approaching the age of Jiji, even if the royal prince and princess cannot
Cultivation, at this age, will inevitably become a means of political friendship. This is the royal family, and the law of the jungle will be reflected in another way!"
The old man narrated calmly, because he had faced this situation once before. If the city lord hadn't given up the opportunity to enter Shrek's inner courtyard, the master's situation would have been even worse than Qing'er!
Ordinary people born into the royal family are even worse than ordinary people in some aspects...
"What about the teacher? How could he just watch Qing'er become a tool?" Ye Ming asked hurriedly. At this moment, his heart was rarely in chaos. Even though he knew that the teacher would not agree, he still wanted to ask clearly.
"City Lord? Hehe, those people who dare to take such notice may have seen that the City Lord has been making compromises over the years, and they think they can handle it."
The old man sneered and said: "If it hadn't been for this matter because of City Lord Zhao's temperament, he might never have shown his fangs to the royal family.
So two nights ago, the protector of the country fell in Fengming Mountain outside the city!!"
