Tang Yan sat opposite Tang Qiong: "Uncle Tang Qiong, have you found out the identities of those mysterious people in white?"
Tang Qiong's face slowly darkened: "We have not found anything so far. This incident has a wide impact and has alarmed King Zhou Ling. He personally came to the Psychedelic Forest to organize an investigation, and major families and colleges have also received the news.
Later, strong men were sent in succession."
"How many teams were attacked?"
"There are five teams in total, including the three major colleges in the Northern Wasteland - Juxiang, Dongchen, Huiyao, and two teams composed of aristocratic families. There is a Martial King-level elder in Dongchen College's escort team this time, and the enemy
It just made a tentative attack, but did not appear after that. The Giant Elephant Academy was lucky, with a dozen students escaping, while the Huiyao Academy was completely wiped out, all the instructors died, and all the students disappeared. The other two aristocratic family teams were the same.
Unfortunately, the guards died in the battle, and all the young masters and ladies disappeared."
Tang Yan's brows frowned slightly: "Killing instructors, robbing students, these mysterious people are all here for us? What do they want to do? Aren't they afraid of provoking public outrage in the entire Northern Wilderness Region?"
"It's not clear yet, but since they dare to attack the five martial arts academies in the Northern Wilderness, they must have something to rely on. Some people suspect that it is a secret organization that robs these young people who are about to be baptized. There should be some ulterior motives.
Secret. King Zhou Ling has ordered major colleges and aristocratic families to increase their vigilance in the near future and jointly conduct investigations. He also emphasized that the royal family should not be alarmed for the time being and that he would negotiate with the higher authorities."
"...King Zhou Ling..." Tang Yan tried hard to search for memories about this aspect.
Zhou Ling Wang Zhou Tai is the younger brother of the emperor. He is powerful and ambitious. He has control of the Falcon Legion among the three top legions of the empire. More than ten years ago, during the most critical period of the fight for the throne, he voluntarily gave up the opportunity and came to
He took root in the Northern Wasteland and fully supported the current emperor in his bid for the throne.
King Zhou Ling appears to be carefree and at ease on the surface, but in fact he has secretly controlled the entire Northern Wasteland, turning it into a veritable 'state within a state'. Because King Zhou Ling has a close relationship with the emperor, he has always been the emperor's closest
A loyal supporter, so the royal family turned a blind eye to King Zhou Ling's actions in the Northern Wasteland.
"Brother Tang Qiong, I have finally come to Shenquan Town, are you still planning to hide from me?" A hearty laughter suddenly echoed in the hotel.
"King Zhou Ling?" Tang Qiong's face changed slightly, and he quickly walked to the door and looked down.
A middle-aged man in gold-patterned attire walked into the lobby waving his feather fan, followed by many instructors and students from the Giant Elephant Academy.
The middle-aged man's clothes are luxurious yet grand, his face is majestic yet friendly, and he has a clear smile on his face, giving him a sense of elegance like a spring breeze. He is the actual master of the Northern Wasteland - King Zhou Ling Zhou Tai.
"See you, Your Majesty!" The shopkeeper inside the hotel hurried out and bowed deeply to King Zhou Ling.
King Zhou Ling sat on the carved wooden chair in the center and motioned for everyone from Juxiang Academy to sit down. His eyes swept across the hall, but settled on Du Yang in the corner. He asked with a smile: "
Are you Du Yang?"
"I have met the prince." Du Yang stood up and saluted at the reminder of his instructors.
King Zhou Ling looked Du Yang up and down for a while, and the smile on his face deepened: "Are you interested in coming to my palace to help?"
"Um?"
"Are you interested? Come to my palace to help." King Zhou Ling looked at him with a smile and repeated again.
The instructors of the college looked at each other in confusion, and their expressions changed slightly. Are they planning to steal?! All the students showed unconcealable envy, being openly recruited by King Zhou Ling. Such treatment is not common, for a child from a poor family.
It is undoubtedly a great opportunity.
Du Yang looked at King Zhou Ling seriously to make sure he was not joking, and hesitated for a moment: "Thank you, Your Majesty, but..."
"Just what?" King Zhou Ling had a clear face, a warm smile, and was very kind. But because of his status, he always exerted pressure that seemed to be invisible to human beings. Du Yang was a little breathless under the pressure.
"I intend to join the army and don't want to enjoy ease too early."
"Oh? Haha, that's right. A good man should go to the battlefield to practice and defend the territory of the empire. It seems that my vision is correct. Since you intend to join the army, I recommend the Falcon Group Army. The northern border is not peaceful recently. It is the right time to use it.
What a great opportunity for ambition, how about it, do you want to pass it?" King Zhou Ling extended olive branches one after another.
The Falcon Legion is one of the three top legions in the empire. It is a unit that many warriors dream of serving. It contains many powerful special operations troops and is famous among the major empires in the south.
However... the master behind the Thunder Eagle Legion is King Zhou Ling, and everyone present knows this.
King Zhou Ling proposed that Du Yang join the Falcon. Isn't this still solicitation in disguise?
"Is it possible that the prince has petrification-type martial arts in his hands?" Wei Hongchen was somewhat curious. Du Yang's talent was indeed good, but it should not be to the extent that the prince would come forward in person and forcefully recruit him, unless... he was confident enough to take Du Yang's talent.
Foreign culture.
King Zhou Ling smiled, shook his folding fan, and said meaningfully: "This depends on what little brother Du Yang means."
The instructors of the Giant Elephant Academy were slightly shaken. Sure enough, King Zhou Ling should have a petrification martial skill of about spiritual level. Although Du Yang has petrification spiritual veins, it is also difficult to achieve anything without suitable petrification martial arts. The higher the level, the more petrification martial arts.
The high level of petrification martial arts means that Du Yang's future achievements will be even more terrifying.
Wei Hongchen shook his head and said with some emotion: "Du Yang, we won't stop you."
Du Yang took a deep breath and bowed deeply to King Zhou Ling: "Du Yang is willing to follow the prince!"
"Okay! Haha, okay!" King Zhou Ling laughed loudly and couldn't hide his excitement: "I happen to have this petrification martial arts. Although it is not too high, it can barely reach the prefectural level. When I return to the palace,
, I will make room for you to study carefully."
"Earth-level martial arts!!" Many people exclaimed. You must know that even Martial King-level instructors like Wei Hongchen are not qualified to possess earth-level martial arts. It is a transition from the mortal level to the spiritual level, and it is a leap from the spiritual level to the earth level.
Transformation, such martial arts are absolute treasures even in the palace and royal family!
"Du Yang, congratulations!" Li Shouze and other students congratulated one after another, with a bit of enthusiasm in their expressions.
"Thank you, Your Majesty for your love!" Du Yang bowed deeply towards King Zhou Ling. This bow came from the bottom of his heart! In this world where martial arts is respected, nothing is more valuable than martial arts. This is simply... destiny!
King Zhou Ling was also very happy: "I acquired the petrified martial arts by chance. I have been looking for a master for him, and you... are undoubtedly the best candidate. It is not in vain for me to come to Shenquan Town in person! As the saying goes, a warrior chooses his martial arts.
, martial arts also select warriors. The combination of petrified spiritual veins and petrified martial arts is definitely a natural partner."
Du Yang was hot in his heart, but he still maintained his lazy indifference, calmly accepting everyone's admiration.
"Tang Qiong of the Tang family, I have met the prince." A sonorous voice broke the delicate atmosphere.
King Zhou Ling looked at Tang Qiong who was walking down the stairs, and then at Tang Yan who was following him, and laughed loudly: "Brother Tang Qiong, I haven't seen you for many years, how are you doing?! Let's drink tonight
He won’t come back until he’s drunk!”
A rare smile appeared on Tang Qiong's cold face: "When the prince invites you, Tang Qiong will definitely accompany you. However, the baptism is over and Shenquan Town will be closed soon. Who will serve the food and wine?"
"I have made arrangements. This hotel will be open tonight!" King Zhou Ling stood up and invited Tang Qiong in person. This courtesy made Li Shouze and others secretly surprised. Could it be that Tang Qiong and King Zhou Ling still have a special relationship?
"It's better to obey your orders than to be respectful. We won't come home until we get drunk tonight!" Tang Qiong came to King Zhou Ling. The two of them struck the air with their big hands and held them together tightly. There was a sense of deep brotherhood, which made Tang Yan beside him feel
be surprised.
However, Tang Yan's attention was quickly focused on the front. Among the many guards, there were two beautiful girls. One was about 20 years old, with a bit of heroism and a bit of wildness, which made people couldn't help but feel...
A desire to conquer, a thirteen or fourteen year old, beautiful and sweet, with big and smart eyes, a standard loli. The most important thing is that the two girls look basically the same, they are simply carved from the same mold, one big and one small.
The two temperaments are particularly eye-catching.
Noticing Tang Yan's blank gaze, the little girl frowned slightly, gave him a hard look, snorted and turned her head away. Tang Yan chuckled, and his eyes returned to the twenty-year-old beauty.
, wandering back and forth over her body, as if he wanted to tear her clothes apart.
The beautiful woman couldn't bear this kind of "eating her alive" look. She held the sword in her right hand and tried to pull it out as if in warning.
The strangeness here did not immediately attract the attention of others. Wei Hongchen took two steps forward and bowed slightly to the prince: "Your Majesty, I won't interrupt you to reminisce about old times. We will see you in the Giant Elephant City in the future."
Tang Qiong raised his eyebrows: "You want to leave?"
Wei Hongchen joked: "This is the only hotel open in the entire Shenquan Town, and there is no room for so many of us."
"The guardian elders here are a little pedantic and only allow one hotel to be left. But don't worry, I happen to be going to the capital. I can detour to the Giant Elephant City. Let's go along." King Zhou Ling enthusiastically pulled Tang Qiong to sit at the dining table.
Then he said: "You two little guys from the Tang family will stay together, as well as the instructor Alinda. You have fought against those gangsters. I have some things I want to know about, so please stay together."
Aelinda's face changed obviously, but she did not show any intention of rejection and stood quietly in the corner.
"Farewell!" Wei Hongchen said goodbye to King Zhou Ling and Tang Qiong in turn, and left quickly with the instructors and students of Juxiang Academy.
"Eh? What is this little guy looking at?" King Zhou Ling suddenly looked at Tang Yan who was 'admiring' the two women unscrupulously.
Tang Ying secretly twisted his waist and said dissatisfied: "What are you looking at!"
Du Yang rubbed his forehead helplessly: "Brother, let's be more reserved."
"Your Majesty, are these two beauties your daughters?" Tang Yan didn't seem to realize his rudeness, but his eyes became more and more unscrupulous.
"Yes, who do you like?" King Zhou Ling joked.
"You mean, I can choose?" Tang Yan seemed very excited. Such questions and expressions not only made Tang Qiong's eyes burst out with anger, but also made King Zhou Ling feel a little distracted.
"I choose her." Tang Yan suddenly appeared in front of the two women and reached out directly to grab the eldest daughter.
"you dare!"
"Shameless little kid!"
The faces of the guards changed slightly, and they all stepped forward and glared at Tang Yan. The eldest daughter's eyes were slightly cold, and she subconsciously wanted to fight back, but she seemed to have some scruples and chose to dodge in a matter of seconds.
Tang Yan's eyes flashed, and he did not continue to be presumptuous, but the look he looked at the other party became more and more meaningful.
"Tang Yan! Don't be rude!" Tang Qiong shouted in a low voice. This little bastard was getting more and more outrageous. As his strength grew, his lust also expanded. In the Giant Elephant City, he only dared to provoke some folk girls and brothel girls, but now he actually
Teasing the imperial princess openly!
"Brother, you are too blatant. In front of so many people, let's restrain ourselves." Du Yang quickly pulled Tang Yan back. Today he has learned a lot. This guy's lust is not ordinary!
"Brother, go back to the room!" Tang Ying's little hand twisted around Tang Yan's waist again, and forcefully pulled him back to the room.
"Famous people are worse than first sightings. The second young master of the Tang family is indeed extraordinary." King Zhou Ling said a few words with a little ridicule.
Tang Qiong shook his head helplessly: "My young master is so ignorant that he made the prince laugh."
King Zhou Ling looked at Tang Qiong seriously: "You should be the third-level Martial King soon, right? It seems that Mr. Tang values you very much. It seems difficult for me to poach you."
"We are almost touching the third level. We should be able to break through in another two years." Tang Qiong did not hide his cultivation level, but he also did not answer too much about the meaning hidden in King Zhou Ling's tone.
King Zhou Ling smiled silently and did not force Tang Qiong. He waved his hand and shouted boldly: "Bring out all your best wine. I want to get drunk tonight!"
