"Yes."
The Third Prince and Fifth Prince hurriedly lowered their heads in agreement.
At the instant they lowered their heads, their eyes flickered with dense killing intent.
This killing intent was naturally targeted at Duan Lingtian.
"Father, then I'll take my leave first."
The Third Prince looked at the Emperor and spoke respectfully.
"I'll take my leave as well."
The Fifth Prince followed suit and left.
The Emperor's gaze occasionally descended onto Duan Lingtian, and occasionally descended onto Princess Bi Yao …
Duan Lingtian was fine, he stood there without moving like a mountain with a carefree expression.
But Princess Bi Yao blushed instead. "Father, what are you looking at?"
"Hahahaha …"
The Emperor laughed heartily, and his laughter only stopped after a short while. "You two know each other?"
Princess Bi Yao nodded shyly.
The Emperor looked at Duan Lingtian and lightly smiled. "Commander Duan, it's rare for you to make a trip to the Imperial Palace. Since you know Bi Yao, accompany her to walk around."
"Yes, your majesty."
Duan Lingtian replied before leaving the throne room with Princess Bi Yao.
The palace maids behind Princess Bi Yao followed as well.
Prime Minister Gu You Ting, who stood beside the Emperor and hadn't spoken since the beginning, now had a slightly gloomy expression, and his eyes flickered with a dense and fierce light.
He was extremely like a ferocious venomous snake, choosing a person to swallow!
Compared to before, the current Princess Bi Yao was obviously slightly restrained.
Ever since she heard that Duan Lingtian commanded an army of 100,000 to defeat the Southern Champion Kingdom's Southern Barbaric City, her mind was filled with the figure of Duan Lingtian …
She never imagined that this' sweetheart 'of hers actually had such great ability.
Now, walking together with the sweetheart of her dreams caused her to be embarrassed to the point that she didn't know what to say.
Duan Lingtian felt that the atmosphere was slightly strange as well.
After accompanying Princess Bi Yao for a while, he spoke first. "Princess, I still have matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving first."
"Okay."
Princess Bi Yao gently nodded her head and watched Duan Lingtian leave from afar. After a long time, she sighed.
After leaving the palace, Duan Lingtian shook his head and sighed. Even he himself didn't know what kind of feelings he had for Princess Bi Yao.
However, one thing was certain.
Princess Bi Yao had barged into the throne room today to plead on his behalf, causing him to be slightly moved.
Although she didn't help, her kind intentions were extremely rare.
"Hu!"
Heaving a sigh of relief, Duan Lingtian returned to the residence of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, the spacious courtyard.
"Lord Commander, the Embroidered Spring Sabers you gave us … are all grade eight spirit weapons?"
Duan Lingtian had just entered the door when he saw Zhang Qian walking up to him with a startled expression.
The other eleven people also looked at Duan Lingtian.
He did not expect the Duan Lingtian to be so generous!
"You only just realized?"
Duan Lingtian lightly smiled.
"Lord Commander, why spend so much money to ask a grade eight weapons craftsman to refine these spirit weapons? The cost isn't small, right?"
Zhao Gang said as well.
"It's only a small toy that I casually refined, and I only spent a little money on materials."
Duan Lingtian casually said.
Instantly, including the two Half-step Void Stage old men, the twelve people were dumbstruck.
Their Lord Commander was a grade eight weapons craftsman?
According to their knowledge.
It seemed that this Lord Commander would only turn nineteen in one or two months, right?
An 18 year old grade eight weapons craftsman, what concept was this?
"Lord Commander, if I'm not wrong, these grade eight spirit weapons are able to provide an entire 20% amplification of strength … They're much better than those crafted by an ordinary grade eight weapons craftsman."
The old man that killed the City Guard Commander Xue Lu yesterday couldn't help but speak.
"Elder Hong has good judgment."
Duan Lingtian lightly smiled as he nodded.
This old man was precisely one of the two Half-step Void Stage experts that the Divine Might Marquis Estate's Senior Marquis sent to him.
Now, when they heard the conversation between Duan Lingtian and Elder Hong, the remaining people were even more shocked.
They took out their Spring Embroidered Sabers and seriously tested it. In the end, they noticed that it was indeed as Elder Hong had said, it was able to provide an entire 20% amplification of strength …
They couldn't help but be moved.
After all, an ordinary grade eight spirit weapon was at most able to provide an amplification of strength by 20%, and being able to provide an amplification of strength by 19% was already considered a top-grade item.
When placed amongst grade eight spirit weapons, the Spring Embroidered Sabers in their hands could absolutely be considered to be a top-grade item amongst the top-grade items.
For a moment, the gazes they looked at Duan Lingtian with emitted slight reverence.
An 18 year old Origin Core Stage grade eight weapons craftsman!
But it was unknown what sort of expression they would have if they knew that Duan Lingtian was also a grade eight alchemist.
In next to no time, Duan Lingtian looked at Zhang Qian.
"Zhang Qian, you and Zhao Gang go to the various medicine stores in the Imperial City and check for these medicinal materials."
Duan Lingtian withdrew a brush and paper, then wrote down a few medicinal materials before passing it to Zhang Qian. "Mainly check the accounts from three years ago and see if they still remember who they sold the medicinal materials to …"
These medicinal materials were the main medicinal materials of the poison the Emperor was poisoned with, and very few people would normally use them.
Duan Lingtian's objective was to find out the person that poisoned the Emperor.
"Yes."
Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang received their orders and left.
Imperial Palace, outside a quiet and secluded palace.
"Prime Minister Gu?"
An empty voice seemed to come from all directions, the voice was gloomy and cold, and didn't carry the slightest emotion.
A black-clothed old man appeared without a sound.
"Old Xue."
Gu You Ting looked at the old man and lightly nodded.
"Prime Minister Gu, is there something you need from me?"
The black clothed old man had a pair of muddy eyes, and his entire body seemed to emit a sense of gloominess. Coupled with his thin body, he seemed as if he would fall in the wind.
However, Gu You Ting instead knew that this old man's strength was extremely terrifying.
At the very least, he wasn't inferior to him!
"Old Xue, my condolences."
Gu You Ting sighed and slowly said.
"Prime Minister Gu, what do you mean by this?"
When the black clothed old man heard this, the gloomy aura on his body became even more profound.
"Old Xue, maybe you still don't know … Your grandson Xue Lang had his dantian crippled by someone, and his cultivation was completely lost."
Gu You Ting's eyes flashed as he spoke.
"What?!"
The black clothed old man's muddy eyes instantly flickered with a dense light, and a terrifying killing intent enveloped Gu You Ting. "Prime Minister Gu, is what you said true?"
"Yes."
Gu You Ting nodded.
"Who did it? Did my son take revenge for Lang 'er? “
The black clothed old man's mood was slightly agitated.
"Old Xue … your son is dead."
Gu You Ting bitterly laughed.
The black clothed old man didn't let out an exclamation of surprise this time, but his thin body lightly trembled, and his voice was incomparably icy cold, as if it came from the depths of hell. "Prime Minister Gu, do you know who did it?"
"Old Xue, your son precisely wanted to take revenge for your grandson. However, in the end, he didn't manage to take revenge, and instead was killed instead … The person that crippled your grandson and killed your son is precisely the same person!"
Gu You Ting slowly said.
"Who is it?"
The black clothed old man's eyes were filled with rage, and he was furious to the extreme.
"The Embroidered Uniform Guard's Commander, Duan Lingtian!"
Gu You Ting slowly said, "Old Xue, you should go back and take a look at your grandson … I'm really worried that once your son dies, that Duan Lingtian will be ruthless to your grandson!"
"He dares?!"
The black clothed old man shouted in a low voice, and his tone contained frightening icy coldness mixed within.
Whoosh!
Instantly, the black clothed old man's figure trembled, and he vanished without a trace.
"Duan Lingtian … Let me see how you resist the rage of this Madman Xue."
The corners of Gu You Ting's mouth curled into a sneer from his scheme succeeding.
On the main street of the inner city of the Imperial City, Duan Lingtian spurred his horse and walked in the front, and behind him were 10 Embroidered Uniform Guards following closely behind.
The two old men were like two guardian gods, tightly guarding Duan Lingtian on both sides.
Everywhere the 11 people passed, the passersby would move aside.
"It's the Embroidered Uniform Guard!"
"He's the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Duan Lingtian?"
"Oh my god! I thought the rumors were exaggerated, but I didn't expect that this Duan Lingtian is really only a youth. "
...
The surrounding passersby whispered in discussion.
These discussions were naturally heard by Duan Lingtian, but he only shook his head with a smile and didn't take it to heart.
On the way, there was no lack of similar discussions, and he was already used to it.
"Giddy up!"
Right at this moment, a luxurious carriage approached from the front, and its speed was extremely swift.
Duan Lingtian frowned.
"Move aside!"
The coachman driving the carriage was obviously extremely overbearing, and he swung the horsewhip in his hand as he shouted in surprise.
When he saw the passersby in front of him fleeing to the sides, the coachman's eyes were obviously mixed with a trace of ridicule …
Soon, he saw Duan Lingtian's group.
"Hmm?"
The coachman frowned, and when he saw the flying robes on Duan Lingtian's group, he faintly realized that these people might not be simple, and he panicked in his heart and hurriedly tightened the reins. "Halt!"
The carriage stopped less than three meters away from Duan Lingtian's horse.
"Ah Fu, why have we stopped?"
Right at this moment, a man's voice came from within the carriage.
"Third Young Master, there are a few military lords in front, let's wait for them to pass."
The coachman looked at the 'youth' in the flying robes before him, and he was slightly uncertain in his heart.
"What military lord?"
The voice that came from within the carriage was slightly impatient.
Soon, the carriage's curtain was lifted, and a young man stuck his head out.
However, when he looked over, the young man's pupils couldn't help but constrict, and when he looked at the youth in front of him, a trace of malevolence and anger appeared on his face. "It's you!"
Duan Lingtian was slightly stunned when the young man in front of him suddenly shouted at him.
Do I know him?
Duan Lingtian carefully sized up the young man who stuck his head out of the carriage, and memories flashed through his mind.
In the end, a blurry figure seemed to appear before his eyes, and completely merged with the person before him.
The scene outside Triumph City more than two years ago flashed through Duan Lingtian's mind once again.
At that time, on the way to Triumph City, he encountered a young man and a young girl who treated human lives like grass …
The young man and the young girl were traveling on a Ferghana horse.
At that time, he deliberately avoided them to the side.
But who would have thought that the young girl would actually brandish her horsewhip at him!
He taught the young girl a lesson, and the young boy stood up for the young girl and attacked him. In the end, one of the young boy's arms was chopped off by him …
Later on, Duan Lingtian found out that the young boy was the third son of the Swallow Mountain County's County Governor, Pei San.
"It's you."
