"What a joke!"
King Qi's body suddenly erupted with a piercing aura. In that instant, he seemed to have turned into a God of War on the battlefield. That aura was like a monstrous wave that instantly rushed towards Shirō Makino.
Shirō Makino looked at King Qi coldly, unmoved.
His mental power had already reached 3,999, and after the enlightenment in the Sky Lake Sacred Ground, it had undergone another qualitative change.
Against a Martial Grandmaster with the same level of mental power, he could instantly crush them with a mental storm!
Even against a high-level God-Rank Spiritual Warrior, Shirō Makino dared to fight him with the Supreme Scepter!
Without exchanging blows, King Qi, who was at the peak of the God-Rank, could only suppress him with his aura. It was impossible!
If King Qi really went crazy and wanted to kill him now, he could use the bracelet, bronze mirror, and the Supreme Scepter, and Shirō Makino was confident that he could leave this place easily.
He was not afraid of King Qi holding Lin Zijin and the rest hostage. Against an Emperor, King Qi and the Ancestral Dragon Royal Family did not have the guts to fight to the death.
Hence, he was really not afraid of King Qi now.
Otherwise, why would he dare to meet him alone? Why would he dare to speak to him like this?
What he said was his true feelings!
King Qi indeed needed to be forgiven!
But now, he did not even want to forgive this person.
He was too full of himself.
"Do you want to fight?" Shirō Makino looked at King Qi coldly.
Everything in the room seemed to be unaffected.
King Qi's control over his aura had already reached a state where he could control it freely.
King Qi couldn't help but feel shocked when he realized that his aura, which he had gained from killing on the battlefield, couldn't suppress Bai Muye.
He looked at Shirō Makino coldly. "You did not just enter the Grandmaster realm, you are a Martial Grandmaster!"
"Yes, do you still want to kill me?" Shirō Makino stared back at King Qi.
King Qi's heart was in turmoil. How is this possible? This young man is only nineteen years old! How can he become a Martial Grandmaster? Do you really think that you can become a talisman great grandmaster just by eating and drinking?
"Back then, you cheated my parents, my old man Bai Sheng, and my grandmother Lin Caiwei … As the saying goes, the son pays his father's debts, and the son will avenge his father!"
"That's because even though my parents suffered, they're still alive. My old man and Granny Lin finally got married."
"You've always wanted to scheme against me, suppressing me for six years, the most crucial period of my growth. Logically speaking, this is not a small grudge!"
"But I respect you, King Qi. You are a man and you are hot-blooded for the Zulong Empire. You've been on the battlefield and you've been wounded. I know all about these things. "
"But this doesn't mean that you can always bully me. If you want to step on me, you have to measure your own strength!"
"I don't want to meddle in the affairs of your royal family, but I don't want someone who wants to deal with me!"
"Back then, the Third Prince failed to woo my daughter. I can't guarantee that he won't hold a grudge against me."
"So, Mr. Regent, I've convinced myself to come here to talk to you. At the same time, I've convinced myself to look at the big picture and not lower myself to your level."
"Otherwise, if I don't appear now, who can stop me from killing you when I truly become a god?"
Shirō Makino's eyes emitted a terrifying spiritual pressure, and he blasted it towards King Qi without hesitation!
You're the only one allowed to use your aura to suppress me, but I'm not allowed to retaliate?
Buzz!
Suddenly, a ripple of energy appeared in front of King Qi.
It blocked Shirō Makino's spiritual power.
But soon, the ripple collapsed!
A large amount of spiritual power rushed towards King Qi.
King Qi almost attacked on the spot.
The spiritual power condensed into a sword, hovering between his brows.
Of course, even if Shirō Makino really wanted to kill him, he would not be able to hurt him.
But King Qi still broke out in a cold sweat.
"So, can we talk peacefully now?" Shirō Makino looked at King Qi.
King Qi also stared blankly at Bai Muye. All of a sudden, he retracted all of his aura, and his entire aura changed in an instant.
He smiled. "I've been reading an actor's self-cultivation recently. It's a good book."
Shirō Makino was speechless.
Was it fun for a king to bully a child like that?
Ten minutes later, the two people in the room wore faint smiles on their faces.
King Qi even personally brewed a cup of tea for Shirō Makino.
It was as if nothing had happened before.
"A young hero. I didn't expect the Zulong Empire to produce a talent like you." King Qi sighed.
"Weren't you a young war god back then? You reached the peak of the god realm at such a young age, and I'm afraid you're only half a step away from the emperor realm. "Shirō Makino complimented.
It was normal to flatter each other in business.
"You really don't hold a grudge against what happened back then?" King Qi looked at Shirō Makino.
"I'm afraid you won't believe me if I say I don't hold a grudge against you. Plus, I'm disgusted by your probing just now. But for my brother, I'm willing to take a step back. "Shirō Makino looked serious.
King Qi was silent for a while, then sighed. "What happened back then was mostly a battle of wills. I have high hopes for the Bai and Lin families. They are not willing to stand on my side at all. "
"If the direct descendants of the Bai and Lin clans would easily choose a side, I think that's what the Li royal family should be afraid of."
King Qi looked at Shirō Makino as if he was a monster. "How can you be so monstrous?"
"I'll take that as a compliment," Shirō Makino said.
"As for you … I did want to get rid of you, but I was conflicted. If I did, I'm afraid the consequences would be even worse than what happened on Three-Immortal Island." King Qi sighed. "That's why you're like a thorn in my throat. I'll feel terrible if I don't pull it out."
"Same to you." Shirō Makino looked at King Qi and said, "But you're a senior. I hope you can have a bit of a senior's demeanor."
"Demeanor my ass." King Qi cursed. "If it wasn't for the return of the Bai clan's empress, do you think you'd have the chance to sit here and talk to me? Not killing you is already my greatest gift! "
"I understand. That's why I'm especially arrogant now." Shirō Makino nodded very seriously.
He even wanted to put his hands on his hips and show off for a while.
King Qi was speechless.
There weren't many people who could be as honest as this kid.
But he wasn't wrong. With an ancestor like that backing him, even Li Yu would have to put his hands on his hips!
"I'm not letting Li Ying ascend to the throne now for his sake. You're still young, and there are many things you don't understand. His reputation in the Empire is too weak! "
Shirō Makino looked at King Qi and said calmly, "So if I don't let him ascend to the throne, his reputation will rise?"
"Of course it will!" King Qi looked at Shirō Makino. "Now that the Crown Prince is in charge of the Empire, I've already ordered the cabinet to issue various decrees to benefit the people. When the time comes, these decrees will be implemented, and the people's opinion of the Crown Prince will naturally improve. After that, we'll find a suitable time to announce that His Majesty is in seclusion and that the Crown Prince will ascend to the throne. That's the most suitable thing to do. "
Shirō Makino was silent for a while. Actually, according to the analysis of his advanced AI, this was indeed the most suitable path.
But he didn't trust this King Qi!
King Qi had supported the Third Prince for so many years. How could he change his attitude so easily?
"Let me tell you a story." King Qi was a shrewd old man. How could he not see that Shirō Makino didn't trust him?
He was also helpless about this. Even if he didn't test him just now, this evil-like little guy still had a deep prejudice against him.
"I'm all ears." Shirō Makino nodded.
"When my brother and I were young, we were like Li Ying and Li Xiong now. We all had a desire for the throne, but we tried our best to hide our inner thoughts and didn't want to show it."
"At that time, my cultivation was higher than my brother's, and I was smarter than him. At least … in all kinds of examinations, I was better than my brother."
"At that time, my brother was also actively trying to rope in all kinds of talents that he thought highly of … Just like the relationship between you and Li Ying today. In fact, in those days, we also had the same relationship."
King Qi took a sip of tea. His eyes followed the steam rising from the teacup and gradually fell into memories.
"Our era was simpler than the current era. But this simplicity refers to the fact that there were no princes at that time …"
Shirō Makino couldn't help saying, "Isn't it because of you?"
King Qi glanced at him, ignored him, and continued, "But inside the royal family, we have many brothers, and many of them are outstanding! Many people are actively showing themselves. The more concubine the prince is, the more he hopes to sit on that throne, and then completely change his fate! "
"From concubine to official wife, in fact, the only difference is the throne."
"Therefore, at that time, my royal brother and I were in a competitive relationship, but we were also allies. The two of us compete with each other, but against the other half-brothers, we have to stand together. "
"At that time, we also had a little sister. That is, the eldest princess of our Zulong Empire! "
"At that time, my little sister had a better relationship with my brother. She gave advice to my brother, and also helped him rope in many talents."
"You know the result later. My brother finally won the battle for the throne, and I lost."
"But I was not convinced. For so many years, I have been trying to prove that I can be better than him! If I were the emperor, I would do better than him! "
"Those brothers who didn't compete with us began to rely on me. At that time, I made the biggest mistake, and that is the only thing I regret in my life …"
King Qi looked at Shirō Makino, "I promised them to push for the enfeoffment!"
"Because at that time, if I didn't agree, that group of people would push for it themselves."
"Other than that, I have also become a Prince from being a legitimate prince. In the future, the descendants of the first wife would be the brothers Li He, Li Ying, and Li Xiong! Of course, after the new emperor ascended the throne, the descendants of the first wife would become the new emperor. "
"So, as time passed, I, the former prince, would become more and more marginalized."
"I didn't even have a hereditary title of prince!"
"If the enfeoffment was successful, then my descendants could be kings for generations!"
"So at that time, I didn't even care if the ancestral dragon would split because of this …"
There was a touch of melancholy in King Qi's eyes, "I didn't think about that. I was also confident that I had the ability to suppress the other princes. If they were not honest, I would beat them into submission! If they were not honest, I would simply kill them! "
"I think my brother also had that ability. Even if he was forced by me to agree to the enfeoffment, he must have too many means to keep those princes in check."
"He could even let those princes have only a seemingly powerful hereditary title of prince in the end, and the other military and political power … could all be taken back!"
"But I didn't expect that my brother would die."
Speaking of this, King Qi raised his head, and his eyes showed a very complicated expression.
He would cry in front of his little sister, but he would not cry in front of Shirō Makino.
How could a young war god of the generation cry?
"It was only after he died that I suddenly realized how lonely I was left," Ye Zichen said.
"After he died, I suddenly realized that without his means to keep them in check, I couldn't control those princes who had been enfeoffed."
"Unless I started a war and destroyed them all!"
"But if that happened, the Ancestral Dragon would be completely finished."
"Even with the Bai Empress holding the fort, the Holy Empire and the Vast Ocean Empire would definitely take the opportunity to attack, and divide our land without hesitation."
"That is why pushing for the enfeoffment is the thing I regret the most in my life."
"As for why I chose to support Li Ying, and not the Third Prince …"
King Qi sighed, "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but the Third Prince has always hated me. He is much more scheming than his second brother, and once he ascends to the throne, he will definitely deal with me at the first opportunity. Even if I win, I'm afraid it will be a huge blow. That kind of Ancestral Dragon is not the Ancestral Dragon I want to see. "
Hearing King Qi's seemingly sincere words, Shirō Makino remained silent, not saying a word.
The analysis given by the portable AI was more than 95% true.
Basically, it could be said that King Qi's words were indeed from the bottom of his heart. There was basically no falsehood.
King Qi looked at Shirō Makino and said, "The Third Prince hates me, I knew it, but the person who finally reminded me was my brother, his father! Although Li Xiong is his son, I am also his younger brother! We are brothers! "
"Although people say that the imperial family is ruthless, but in fact, I don't particularly agree. The so-called ruthlessness, most of the time, is forced by the situation, but how many people can understand the affection between us? "
"My royal brother is gone. All of my lofty aspirations are like a joke!"
King Qi sighed, looked at Shirō Makino and said, "You also know that I am at the peak of the God level, in the words of many people, I am a Quasi-emperor. If I have been in the position of Regent, I will never have the opportunity to take that step. So, don't think that I am willing to take on this task. "
Shirō Makino still listened quietly, and did not interrupt.
King Qi finally said, "Shirō Makino, I apologize to you for all the things that I have done to the Bai family and you in the past. I agree with what you said, if any of us dies, it will be an unbearable blow to the Empire. So from today, I will forget all the past grievances. I am sorry that I tested you with that attitude just now, I just want to know, the Empress of your Bai family, does she have the intention to change the dynasty. "
As he spoke, he stood up and bowed to Shirō Makino.
Shirō Makino sat there without moving, and accepted it.
Because this was what King Qi owed, the Bai family also owed him!
His elders were still alive, not because of King Qi's kindness, but because they had the ability!
He, Shirō Makino, was still alive, and there were all kinds of people protecting him!
Otherwise, in Hundred Flowers City, a mere Lin Yue could kill him.
Was it really difficult for a great grandmaster spiritual warrior to kill a little kid?
So, not dead, it was fate!
Not because someone gave him charity.
It was possible to forget grievances with a smile, but it also depended on what kind of grievance it was!
If it was the hatred of killing one's father, or the ruthlessness of exterminating one's family, who the hell would smile with you?
It was not an exaggeration to say that Shirō Makino had the righteousness of the country in his heart.
It was only after truly understanding King Qi that he made this decision.
And after a few tests, King Qi finally understood these thoughts of Shirō Makino, so he completely changed his attitude.
"As for Third Li Xiong, I have already communicated with him. Although he wants that position, he still loves his second brother, just like I … loved my big brother. "
King Qi was a little emotional, and then said, "This is actually one of the reasons why our Li royal family can sit on Zulong Jiangshan."
Shirō Makino looked at him, "Brother is outside the wall to resist the insult."
King Qi nodded, "I suddenly found that I like you a little."
"Don't, Lord Regent, it's better if you like someone else, I don't have that luck." Shirō Makino stood up, looked at him, and said, "Since we have spoken, then I will take my leave. When Li Ying ascends to the throne, I will come to congratulate him!"
"Where are you going now?" King Qi looked at Shirō Makino and asked.
"Of course I have to go back to school. I am a good student, and my greatest interest is learning." Shirō Makino emphasized to King Qi with a serious face.
Student …
Damn it!
Was there such a monstrous student?
King Qi suddenly had an urge to curse.
If not for Shirō Makino's reminder, he would have completely forgotten that the person in front of him was just a nineteen-year-old boy who had just reached adulthood.
"What realm have you reached?" King Qi looked at Shirō Makino curiously.
"Haven't you already guessed it? Great grandmaster! "Shirō Makino said.
King Qi felt like he had been dealt a heavy blow.
At the same time, he also thought of another problem. A nineteen-year-old Great Grandmaster Talisman Artist was definitely one of a kind.
Shirō Makino's safety had to be put on the agenda!
"You can't run around like this anymore." He said seriously.
Shirō Makino: "…"
You were the biggest threat to me before, okay?
"I believe that the Bai family will never rebel." King Qi looked at Shirō Makino, "So, I will wait for the day when the Bai family has two emperors!"
Shirō Makino looked at King Qi and said, "I think you should make a trip to the Tianhu Holy Land."
King Qi smiled and shook his head, "I've already been there for thirty days."
As he said that, he suddenly thought of something and looked at Shirō Makino, hesitated, and asked, "What about you?"
"Forty days." Shirō Makino said.
King Qi waved his hand, "Alright, you can go."
Tired!
That night, Li Ying hosted a banquet in the palace to entertain them.
It was a standard state banquet!
But the atmosphere was not tense.
This was because none of the older people were here.
Even Elder Song and Fang Qing were relieved to see Shirō Makino return and left. They had a lot of former classmates and friends in Ziyun, so they went to meet with them.
Crown Prince Li Ying accompanied the group of geniuses.
Chae Yi and Liu hadn't seen each other for a long time. The two of them were whispering to each other.
Shan Gu and Ouyang Xingqi's relationship was also rapidly warming up.
Needless to say, Lin Zijin was always by Xiao Bai's side.
Si Yin suddenly felt a little lonely.
She glanced at Shan Gu and was a little unhappy. They had agreed to live happily together. Why did he suddenly change his mind?
The six Calabash Brothers were very interested in Si Yin.
"Little girl, sit here!"
"Little girl, how old are you?"
"Little girl, you're so cute. Let's become sworn brothers and sisters!"
"Yes, yes, I've always wanted such a cute little sister."
Si Yin looked at the six Calabash Brothers who lacked a sister in their lives. Then, she took out the new hammer that was bigger than a watermelon and casually waved it a few times.
The six Calabash Brothers who lacked a sister fell silent.
They felt melancholy.
Their princess had been snatched away. They really had no sister in the future.
It felt like their lives were missing a huge corner.
They were unhappy.
At the banquet, everyone spoke freely and happily.
Li Ying hadn't been so happy in a long time.
But he also knew that this group of people would probably leave tomorrow. He didn't know when they would meet again.
"When your coronation ceremony comes, we will definitely come. Not only will we come, but all of our friends will also come! "
After the banquet, Shirō Makino looked at Li Ying, who had a reluctant look in his eyes and promised.
"I'm all alone, but it's already starting now." Li Ying muttered softly before waving goodbye to Bai Muye and the others. "Goodbye!"
Until the group of people couldn't be seen, Li Ying returned to the depth of the palace alone, accompanied by several guards.
Then, he came to the study and met his third brother Li Xiong.
"Brother, has the demoness left?" Li Xiong looked behind Li Ying cautiously.
"Yes, third brother. You are not really afraid of her, are you?" Li Ying knew his third brother better than before. So, he didn't believe that he was so afraid of Lin Zijin.
"You don't understand, second brother. You will understand if you meet her. She is really a nightmare! I'm not afraid that you will laugh at me. In front of her, I feel that I am not even a man … Damn, even if she is put on my bed, I will not be moved. Do you believe it? "
"Don't talk nonsense. She is my sister-in-law now." Li Ying glanced at him and then sighed, "I thought that since you are here, you have to see her."
"No, no. I am here to see you. It has nothing to do with her. It is a complete coincidence." Li Xiong shook his head like a rattle drum.
"Then what are you doing here?" Li Ying asked.
"Why doesn't uncle let you ascend the throne?" Li Xiong looked at his second brother, "Father has left. How long will you be the crown prince? Second brother, I don't mean anything else. I have thought it through. You are more suitable to sit in that position than me. I just want to ask you, does uncle have other thoughts? "
Li Ying was shocked, "Third brother, don't talk nonsense. What thoughts can uncle have? If he really has other thoughts, how can you and I stop him? "
"Second brother, you are wrong. If he really has other thoughts, I will try my best to bring him down!" Li Xiong's eyes flashed with coldness.
"Don't be silly." Li Ying patted the shoulder of the Third Prince, "It is enough that you and I are of one mind. I don't need you to take risks. Just before I came here, uncle had talked to me …"
"Talked about what?" Li Xiong sneered, "Talked about why he doesn't let you ascend the throne?"
"No, talked about when is the most suitable time to ascend the throne. Because what you want to do has been done by someone. "When Li Ying thought of the words that Prince of Qi said to him, there seemed to be a fire burning in his heart.
That was a fire called being touched.
"Your brother Xiao Bai almost ate me and almost fell out with me, not because of the grievances between him and me, but because he wanted you to ascend the throne as soon as possible. Ying, you are much luckier than me in those years! You not only have two good brothers, but also have a friend who is not a brother but is better than a brother. "
Li Xiong's eyes flashed, and then he showed a cheerful smile, "Okay, then I am completely relieved! Did Imperial Uncle Qi say when? "
Li Ying said, "The earliest is the end of this year!"
Li Xiong nodded, "Brother, is Shirō Makino on good terms with the new head of the Duan Family in Tianhu Lake?"
Li Ying nodded, and it was not strange that Li Xiong knew this.
"I want to go to Tianhu Holy Land to practice for a period, and then come back to congratulate you when you ascend the throne," Li Xiong said seriously.
"Why? The Duan Family … is said to be a bit chaotic. "Li Ying frowned.
"I want to make myself stronger, and then one day, I will be … the God of War of our generation!"
"Ah? You? Your cultivation is not as high as mine, right? "
"Hehe, second brother, don't look down on me. I am a great master!"
Li Xiong looked at Li Ying with a serious face, "Primary, great master, all-attribute spirit warrior!"
Li Ying was stunned.
Li Xiong laughed, "That's a deal, second brother!"
Li Ying said, "Then why can't you beat Lin Zijin?"
Li Xiong's face darkened, "I just got promoted! My realm has always been much higher than hers! But I really can't beat her! I really can't beat her! Don't mention that female devil in front of me in the future! Even if I dare to fall out with uncle Qi, I dare not to fall out with her! OK, I am leaving. "
He pushed the door.
Prince Qi stood quietly at the door.
Li Xiong was stunned, and Li Ying inside was also stunned.
Prince Qi said quietly, "OK, I am finally relieved that you two are like this. I am leaving."
After saying that, he turned around and walked away step by step.
His footsteps were a little brisk, and his tall and straight back seemed … to show a sense of relief.
In the dark, a woman with a gentle face watched this scene quietly.
She smiled slightly and turned away.
