Chapter 265 Tiandou Xue’s Family
“Brother Yi, where are you going?”
‘Tiandou City’, in a small courtyard in the east of the city, Dugu Xin looked at Ling Yi who was about to go out and said asked.
“Oh, I’m going to visit someone——” Ling Yi turned around and said to Dugu Xin with a smile.
Ling Yi arrived yesterday. At that time, he learned from Dugu Xin and others that Dugu Bo spent most of his time in the "Sunset Forest" in the past month and rarely returned to the city. Once you go, you have to stay for more than seven or eight days.
The last time Dugu Bo went out happened to be two days ago.
Therefore, Ling Yi is not going to wait for Dugu Bo to return here in the small courtyard, but will walk around in "Tian Dou City" first.
Half an hour later.
In the inner city, about three or four miles away from the imperial city, Ling Yi and Dugu Xin stood side by side in front of a large mansion.
Looking up at the plaque above the door, Ling Yi walked to the door with a friendly smile on his face and said to one of the guards guarding the door:
"Please inform the master of your residence that Ling Yi, a friend of Earl Altimus, is here to visit..."
Hearing this, the guard first looked at Ling Yi up and down, and then let him know The person who showed affection at first glance paused for a moment, and responded calmly: "Please wait a moment."
After saying that, he nodded to the other guard, then turned around and ran away. Return to the mansion.
Ling Yi watched the guard leave, turned around and nodded to the remaining guard with a smile.
Yesterday, I learned through the [Blacksmith Association Tiandou Branch] in [Tiandou City] that the master of the mansion should be at home today and did not go out.
And based on the relationship between the other party and Artimos, the possibility that he is willing to meet him is more than 80%!
Soon, Ling Yi, who was deducing various actions in "Tian Dou City" in his mind, saw the guard who had just ran into the mansion run out again.
When they came to Ling Yi and Dugu Xin, the guard's attitude was more polite and said: "Your Highness, please come in and have a chat."
Seeing this, Ling Yi raised his hand, He smiled politely and said, "Thank you for passing on the message, brother."
The guard didn't expect Ling Yi to be so polite and almost didn't react. He immediately waved his hands and said, "Where are you... please two more Enter the mansion with your subordinates.”
As he spoke, he stretched out his arms and made an inviting gesture towards Ling Yi and Dugu Xin.
Under the guidance of this guard, Ling and Yi entered the mansion of this wealthy family.
About five minutes later, a group of three people walked into a grand hall, and Ling Yi also saw the person he was visiting.
[Tian Dou Empire] The royal family, today’s Dou Emperor Xue Rong, son of the Great Emperor Xue Rong, the Ninth Prince Snow Star!
I saw that he looked to be in his thirties. He was wearing red and yellow uniforms, simple and elegant, and his golden hair was neatly combed behind his head. Although he is only of average height, his back is straight and he stands like a pine tree. His handsome appearance gives people a sense of high-spirited vitality.
"[Shuimu Principality] Ling Yi, meet His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince——"
Ling Yi performed an aristocratic etiquette and said in a reserved and polite manner.
Behind him, Dugu Xin subconsciously widened his eyes. Fortunately, his state of mind has improved greatly over the years. He reacted immediately, followed by a salute commonly used by soul masters, and said: "Dugu Xin, I have met His Highness the Ninth Prince——"
"No courtesy." Ninth Prince Xue Xing waved his hand without any airs. On the contrary, he said very familiarly:
"Ling Yi, right? I heard Artimus mention you. He praised you to the heavens and said you are a rare genius in the world. Today I can see a real person——"
< br> "Thank you, Your Highness, the Ninth Prince~" Ling Yi showed a smile like the warm spring sun on his face, and said humbly: "Count Altimus is too flattering, Ling Yi feels guilty, he doesn't dare to take it, he doesn't take it..."
As the ninth son of Emperor Xue Rong, although Xue Xing is not as talented as the third prince Xue Ye in civil and military affairs, nor is he as favored as the fifth prince Xue Lie, he is the closest to the imperial military. .
In terms of age, Artimos is four or five years older than Xuexing, but when they were studying at Tiandou Royal Academy, the two formed a team for a short time.
At that time, Xuexing’s talent and strength naturally prevented him from joining the two main teams, the first team and the second team. However, as a prince, he could easily form a team that could show off on the stage. team.
At that time, Altimus, who was about to graduate and whose strength was above average among his peers, was invited to join the team because of the special nature of his martial arts. He was responsible for treating the injuries of his teammates. While solving his worries, he also increased the number of members of the team. Combat endurance.
For example, in Tiandou Royal Academy, teaching the children of nobles to achieve success is secondary. After all, the elders in their respective families are the best teachers in martial arts cultivation. The most important thing is to provide It created a platform for the children of the imperial nobles to communicate and make connections.
Altimos's family is from a veteran military family in the [Tian Dou Empire]. Although it has never occupied a high position, it has always been in the military due to the healing power of the martial spirit "Bright Scarab". Logistics has a lot of influence.
As for Xuexing, his identity as the Ninth Prince is naturally an excellent sign. When he takes the initiative to show goodwill, few forces and individuals in the empire can refuse.
In this Douluo Continent, the power of the army and the personal power of high-level soul masters have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the latter is even more important. Otherwise, the Ninth Prince Xuexing might not be able to attack the throne.
In recent years, as Emperor Xueron has aged, there has been an undercurrent among the princes. No one knows who will take that seat in the end.
Although Xuexing has also had fantasies, he is relatively clear-headed and still has a relatively clear understanding of the possibility of his success.
Although the military has a good relationship with him, when it comes to the struggle for the throne, it will most likely choose to stand neutral and stand aside.
After all, no matter which prince ascends to the throne, he will ultimately have to rely on the influence of various military leaders to integrate the forces of all parties in the empire.
So, if the princes of the [Tian Dou Empire] want to ascend to the throne, they must either rely on their own strength, their martial arts talents are extremely talented, and have strength far beyond other brothers; Because of the emperor's love, he was willing to pave the way for him, and contacted the ministers in the imperial government in advance to gain support from all aspects.
As for the latter, there is another premise, that is, it does not conflict with the former one. That is to say, among the princes of the same generation, there is no one with such superior strength and talent.
Douluo Continent, after all, is a worldview in which great power belongs to oneself.
Fortunately, compared with the brutal competition in [Xingluo Empire], [Tiandou Empire], because the royal family does not have the kind of almost dictatorial ruling power, the competition for the throne is also correspondingly intense. The ones are smaller.
For many princes who have little ambition for the throne, if they are really outstanding, after the new emperor succeeds to the throne, he will appropriately entrust certain powers to these brothers who become princes. What's more, it does not rule out dividing a certain territory and allowing the other party to establish its own country. Just like the Kingdom of Balak.
This operation of the royal Xue family is, to a certain extent, intended to consolidate its own rule.
After all, when the Xue family established the [Tian Dou Empire], they did not use force to conquer all parties like the Dai family did in the [Star Luo Empire]. Instead, they gained control of the northern territory of the Douluo Continent by joining forces vertically and horizontally. authority.
