Li Fire Temple. In the Imperial Court.
The two rows of courtiers discussed animatedly as they looked at the four people standing in the center. They were all surprised. This was perhaps the most sensational event of the year, no, in the past century.
Who were the four people standing in the center? What did they contribute to the Li Dynasty? What did they offer in exchange for Princess Ling 'er?
In Zhongshan, the Elixir of Immortality had been personally acknowledged by the Emperor. It could increase one's lifespan by at least a thousand years. Not to mention the courtiers, even the Emperor himself would be tempted. A thousand years of lifespan! The Emperor's lifespan was only ten thousand years. After ten thousand years, if he could not become an immortal, he could only turn to dust. Would the Emperor be unwilling to increase one's lifespan by a thousand years out of thin air, or even more?
Zhao Tiansha, the Great Cheng Imperial Dynasty, was a great imperial dynasty. Once that great imperial dynasty submitted, infinite fate would expand to the Dali Celestial Dynasty. At that time, the Dali Celestial Dynasty would be even more powerful, and the Emperor's control over the sky would be even greater. The benefits to the Emperor and the Dali Celestial Dynasty were self-evident. The Emperor was willing to give it up?
Duke Xiaoyao was even more so. He was the reincarnation of the Emperor's brother. It could be said that without Duke Xiaoyao's past life, there would be no Emperor. It was Duke Xiaoyao who had painstakingly raised the Emperor in his past life. He had even sacrificed his own life to save the Emperor when he was young. The Emperor would not give up this kinship. No, it was a kinship!
Duke Shaofei, Duke Shaofei, was a rising star in the Li Dynasty, just like Zhong Shan of the Daluo Heaven Dynasty. Duke Shaofei's wisdom was shocking. Just before the Daluo Heaven Dynasty met the Daluo Heaven Dynasty, he had led the Li Dynasty army and destroyed a Great Cheng Dynasty with his wisdom. His outstanding military service was a huge achievement, and now he was exchanging it for a marriage. The Emperor had always been fair in his rewards and punishments. Would he choose him?
The courtiers all had interesting expressions. These four were powerful, but Princess Ling 'er was even more powerful. How could she make the four of them so happy?
It was difficult to decide. How good would it be if a woman could marry four men? Of course, that was impossible.
Nie Fanchen looked at the four of them. His frown was replaced by a playful smile.
"Emperor of Dali, please grant Zhong Shan my wish!" Zhong Shan stepped forward and said.
"Your Majesty, please grant Zhao Tian Sha's wish!"
"Your Majesty, please grant my wish!"
"Your Majesty, please grant my wish!"
The four of them continued to kowtow.
All the courtiers were excited as if they were watching a show. How would the Emperor decide? It was too hard to decide!
"Princess Ling 'er is the princess of the Dali Heavenly Dynasty after all!" Nie Fanchen suddenly said.
As soon as Nie Fanchen opened his mouth, everyone quieted down and listened.
"The princess of the celestial empire has the right to choose her own dao companion." Nie Fanchen said.
That was right, but it depended on who gave the order. If it was someone else, they naturally couldn't interfere with a princess's choice of dao companion. But the Emperor was different. In the Dali Heavenly Dynasty, all the rules were set by him. He could even abolish a princess if he wanted to. This was the Emperor, this was the heavens!
"The four of you are all outstanding, but Princess Ling 'er is only one person. As for who to marry, it will depend on your and Princess Ling' er's attitude." The Emperor said.
"Huh?" The four of them frowned.
"I will give you four months. Every two months, there will be a literary test and a martial test. The literary test will be a literary test, and the martial test will be a military test! Decide on the best, and I will grant you a marriage! "Nie Fanchen said.
As soon as Nie Fanchen spoke, the matter was settled. At the same time, all the courtiers sighed in admiration. The Emperor was still the best! He could even think of such a trick. If Zhong Shan were to win, Zhao Tiansha would be incompetent and could not blame His Majesty. At most, he would choose another princess. Duke Xiaoyao and Duke Shaofei would be helpless. If Zhao Tiansha were to win, Zhong Shan would be incompetent. They could not blame others for their incompetence. As for the Elixir of Immortality, they would think of other ways to obtain it.
"Then may I ask Your Majesty, who will be the judge after the literary and martial tests?" Zhong Shan asked.
Indeed, the martial test was true, but what about the literary test? There was no first place in the literary test!
"Princess Ling 'er will be the judge!" Nie Fanchen said.
"Yes!" everyone answered.
"Your Majesty, this one has just arrived from the Great Cheng Empire. I have never met Princess Ling 'er before. Could I meet Princess Ling' er first?" Zhao Tiansha immediately said.
Hearing Zhao Tian Sha's words, Zhong Shan's eyebrows twitched. Ling 'er's sealed memories were not only about himself, it was also a memory of her understanding of the Assassin's nature. Before that memory, Ling' er had worshipped the Assassin very much.
"Your Majesty, there are some misunderstandings between Kuang 'er and Princess Ling' er. Kuang 'er also hopes to bury the hatchet with Princess Ling' er and meet Princess Ling 'er," Nie Kuang immediately said.
Everyone looked at Nie Kuang, speechless. Some misunderstandings? Nie Kuang's reputation was self-evident. It wasn't a misunderstanding, but a very bad impression.
"Ling 'er's Dao Companion will be born from the four of you. I permit you to pursue Princess Ling' er, but before the two tests, you must not overstep your boundaries. I will order that Princess Ling 'er will meet you once every five days, accompanied by a companion." Nie Fanchen said. "You're not alone.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The four bowed in unison.
"Mm!" Nie Fanchen nodded in satisfaction.
Then, the officials looked at Zhong Shan, waiting for him to present the Elixir of Immortality. However, Zhong Shan retreated to Lin Xiao's side, pretending to be deaf and mute.
Nie Fanchen looked at Zhong Shan and revealed an unfathomable smile. "Court is dismissed!"
"Court is dismissed ~ ~ ~"
Southern Ming Tribute Hall.
"Marshal, is this the might of the Celestial Empire? What a powerful aura! "Lin Xiao recalled in amazement.
"So what?" Zhong Shan said.
Lin Xiao nodded. Lin Xiao believed that sooner or later, the Daikon State Empire would also reach this level.
"Marshal, today's matter seems a little troublesome!" Mr. Shi said with a frown.
"Who can compare to the Marshal in both the written and martial examinations? The Marshal is the Grandmaster Scholar of the Daluo Celestial Empire. Who can be more powerful than the Marshal in both the martial and military examinations? "Shui Wuhen exclaimed.
"No, the problem is that Zhao Tiansha popped up! If I'm not wrong, that Zhao Tiansha is the second generation First Senior Brother of the Mizar Sect, right? "Lin Xiao said with a frown.
"That's right, it's him!" Zhong Shan nodded.
"That's not good. According to the Marshal, Princess Ling 'er's memory is stuck at the time when she worships Tiansha. She forgot about the Marshal and worships Tiansha. This situation is not good!" Lin Xiao said.
"No worries, I have my ways!" Zhong Shan said after some thought. Then, his gaze turned to the silent Fiery Wolf General.
"G-Marshal?" the Fiery Wolf General said strangely.
"Fiery, how's the matter of seducing Qing Hong going?" Zhong Shan asked.
"Mm, it's going well!" Fiery said unnaturally. He looked at Zhong Shan with some fear, as if he was afraid that Zhong Shan would scold him.
"No, if you continue to be 'going well,' my plan will be ruined by you. It looks like you alone won't be enough in the short term. Next, Lin Xiao and Liu Wushuang will be in charge of following Fiery and coming up with plans for it. You must let Fiery take down Qing Hong within a month," Zhong Shan said.
"Yes!" Lin Xiao and Liu Wushuang immediately answered.
Fiery was extremely depressed at the side, but there was nothing he could do about it. It was his own fault for being so useless!
"Marshal, has the elixir of immortality been verified?" Mr. Shi suddenly said with a smile.
Yes, it had been verified. It had been verified by the Emperor of Dali, Nie Fanchen. How could it be false? At this moment, the shocking news from the imperial court must have spread throughout the entire Sacred Fire Metropolis.
The elixir of immortality!
"Mm, let's carry out the plan!" Zhong Shan's eyes lit up.
"Yes!" Mr. Shi immediately answered.
"Shui Wuhen, lead the 800,000 soldiers of the Zhong Family and be responsible for cooperating with Mr. Shi!" Zhong Shan said again.
"Yes!" Shui Wuhen was slightly confused, but immediately nodded.
The conversation in the imperial court was leaked in the end. After all, countless pairs of eyes were watching this imperial court.
Zhong Shan's elixir of immortality had been verified by the Emperor. There was no falsehood, and its effects were verified in front of all the officials and generals of the imperial court.
This was incredible. At first, people only had a curious and eager attitude, hoping that it was true. Now that it had been verified by the Emperor of Dali, who wouldn't believe it?
"Is there really an elixir of immortality in this world?" A voice came from a restaurant in the Sacred Fire Metropolis.
"Nonsense, the Emperor has confirmed it. The Emperor is the top existence in this world, and he has already found the most powerful person in the Immortal Realm. How could his words be false? An elixir of immortality! Those people in the imperial court are lucky. One whiff of it can increase their lifespan by 30 years. If only I had the chance."
"Dream on! Zhong Shan wants to use it to exchange for Princess Ling 'er. In the end, it will still belong to the Emperor. "
"Bah, it hasn't been decided yet. This time, four people proposed at the same time. The other three are also amazing. Duke Xiaoyao, Duke Shaofei, and the prodigal Crown Prince who wants to use the Imperial Dynasty to exchange for Princess Ling 'er."
"If I can see and smell it, I'll live ten years less."
"Bah, ten years less? One whiff of it can increase one's lifespan by 30 years? You're dreaming! "
The entire Sacred Fire Metropolis was in an uproar. Not only did the news spread in the Sacred Fire Metropolis, but it also radiated in all directions at a terrifying speed, as if it had grown wings, and spread to even more distant cities.
The elixir of immortality was truly the elixir of immortality. It was the most powerful elixir in the world. The Sacred Fire Metropolis was in a state of turmoil.
