Chapter 137 Goodwill and Winning Over

In the next few days.

Lin Chuan made a special trip to the Sunset Forest and planted the Blue Silver Emperor in the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.

Although he planned to use the Blue Silver Emperor to refine tools, he mainly needed the beast soul. Now the Blue Silver Emperor is very weak, and who knows if Ah Yin's soul is still there, so it would be better to nurture it a little before starting.

A few days later.

Under the leadership of Shui Lanxin and Dugu Bo, all members of the Tianshui team came to Tiandou City.

It seems that someone had been sent to pay special attention a long time ago. The moment Lin Chuan and his party arrived at Dugu Bo's mansion, a knight in armor came to the door.

"Excuse me, are you the Dean Shui Lanxin of Tianshui College?"

Shui Lanxin walked to the front of the person and nodded slowly, "I am Shui Lanxin, may I know who the general is?"

The knight in front of him had a heavy breath and was extremely serious. He also exuded a faint murderous aura. After careful sensing, there was a fluctuation of soul power in his body, and his cultivation was not low.

"I have been specially ordered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to invite you to the palace for a chat."

The armored knight said in a dull voice, and took the initiative to explain his purpose.

"Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has invited you, I will trouble you to lead the way."

"Dean Shui is too polite, please follow me!"

All the way from Tianshui College to Tiandou City, Lin Chuan and others did not feel tired, so they followed the armored knight to the direction of Tiandou Palace.

With the identity token symbolizing the Crown Prince's Mansion, they arrived at the Crown Prince's Mansion smoothly.

A figure has been waiting at the door of the mansion for a long time.

When seeing Lin Chuan and others coming, Xue Qinghe immediately showed a gentle smile and walked up quickly, "Brother Lin, you really made me wait!"

When he came to him, he actually grabbed Lin Chuan's hand, and his whole body showed a sense of closeness.

This move immediately scared the others, even Lin Chuan was surprised.

"Your Highness, the distinguished guest from Tianshui College has been brought here."

Xue Qinghe waved his hand casually, "Thank you for your hard work, General Wang, go down first!"

The armored knight did not say anything more and turned away without hesitation.

"Hello, Your Highness!"

Many girls bowed slightly to Xue Qinghe, with a hint of respect in their tone.

"No need to be polite, you are all tired from the journey. I am so anxious to invite you to the Prince's Mansion, I hope you don't blame me!"

"Brother Xue." Lin Chuan also greeted him softly.

That is to say, he knew that Xue Qinghe in front of him was Qian Renxue pretending to be him, otherwise a big man holding his hand so enthusiastically would have triggered a stress response and taken action.

But Lin Chuan still struggled to break free.

"Brother Lin has shined in this elite competition!"

Seeing Lin Chuan's actions, Xue Qinghe did not react much, but smiled lightly.

Of course, he was more afraid in his heart.

Soul Emperor can threaten Title Douluo, and also has two powerful domains, which even she cannot do.

Xue Qinghe had to admit that even she could not compare with Lin Chuan in talent.

If such a peerless genius could not be used by her, then in the future it would definitely become an obstacle for the Spirit Hall to unify the entire continent, which made Xue Qinghe feel very complicated at this time.

Lin Chuan could clearly sense the changes in Xue Qinghe's emotions, and could probably guess what she was thinking.

If the Spirit Hall wanted to unify the continent, the major forces naturally could not be immune. They either chose the Spirit Hall, or the two empires, or... start their own business.

To be honest, for Lin Chuan, it made no difference who was the ruler.

But if he had to say it, he might still prefer the Spirit Hall, of course, the premise is that the Pope is not that crazy woman Bibi Dong.

For now, Qian Renxue has shown great goodwill and has not taken action against Tianshui College. If she leads the Spirit Hall, it is not unacceptable to unify the Douluo Continent.

"Brother Xue, you are too kind."

"I am not flattering you," Xue Qinghe smiled and shook his head, "but I still want to congratulate Brother Lin for successfully defeating the Spirit Hall and winning the championship in this elite competition. When my father knew about this, he was very pleased and wanted to meet you all."

"I have already informed my father that I will formally summon everyone from Tianshui College to the court tomorrow and reward you all. You all should have a good rest in my Prince's Mansion tonight!"

After saying that, Xue Qinghe waved to the side, and a woman who looked like a housekeeper walked out slowly.

"Take everyone from Tianshui College down and settle them down. Don't neglect them."

"Yes, sir!" The housekeeper bowed slightly and smiled enthusiastically, "Please follow me, everyone!"

Shui Lanxin led the members of the Tianshui team and followed the housekeeper of the Prince's Mansion away. Lin Chuan originally planned to follow, but was stopped by Xue Qinghe.

"Brother Lin, if you don't mind, will you accompany me for a walk?"

Lin Chuan nodded gently, turned his head to look at Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, "You go down and rest first, I'll talk to Brother Xue about something."

"Okay, then Xiaochuan, come back early."

Dugu Yan smiled gently and took Ye Lingling's hand, "Lingling, let's go!"

The two girls walked away.

"Brother Lin is really lucky. Both Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling are rare beauties. Brother Lin can enjoy the blessing of two women. I really envy him."

Xue Qinghe patted Lin Chuan's shoulder with a teasing look in his eyes.

"Brother Xue, don't tease me. You are the prince of the Tiandou Empire and the future emperor of the empire. You will definitely have three thousand beauties in the harem in the future. I can't compare with you."

Isn't it just teasing each other, as if no one knows how to do it.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Xue Qinghe's expression suddenly changed, "Brother Lin, please don't say this. Although I am the prince of the empire now, my father is still in his prime, so he has the final say on who will inherit the throne. As long as he It’s for the sake of the empire, even if I choose someone else, I won’t have any complaints!”

What a righteous and awe-inspiring gesture.

Lin Chuan resisted the urge to roll his eyes. If he hadn't known how much Qian Renxue had done for the title of prince, he would have believed it.

"Brother Xue is right, I made a mistake, but to put it bluntly, among the two remaining princes, only Brother Xue is the future of the empire. Prince Xue Beng is usually domineering, which is simply a shame for the royal family. , it would be the empire’s misfortune if he really succeeded to the throne.”

Lin Chuan pretended to speak for Xue Qinghe, but suddenly changed the subject.

"However, we are both princes. Brother Xue, you are so wise. Not only are you gentle with others, but you are also courteous and courteous. But why is Prince Xue Beng so naughty? They both received royal education since childhood. There is such a big difference. It is a bit strange!"

The speaker is thoughtful, and the listener is enlightened.

Xue Qinghe's eyes narrowed slightly, and strange lights flashed through them.

Listening to what Lin Chuan said, there was indeed something wrong with Xue Beng. If I remembered correctly, the other party slowly became dandy after the princes encountered accidents one after another.

At the time, it seemed like there was nothing wrong with it, but now that I think about it, it’s very abnormal.

So Xue Beng deliberately hid himself and pretended not to make progress, so he survived?

So from this point of view, the deaths of the princes may have been suspected on her head.

Xue Qinghe's heart was changing, but he hid it well. He smiled and shook his head gently, "Gu is busy with various government affairs on weekdays, and he does lack discipline for him. This is Gu's fault. Gu will discipline him well in the future! "

After hearing this, Lin Chuan naturally knew that Xue Qinghe had understood.

"With Brother Xue correcting Prince Xuebeng's bad habits, the empire will definitely have one more pillar in the future. It is really a blessing for the empire."

"Haha, let's not talk about this anymore."

Xue Qinghe shook his head noncommittally and suddenly changed the subject, "Brother Lin, except for the two championships won by Wuhun Palace in the first three elite competitions, even the Star Luo Empire has won once, and the empire has never achieved good results. , you won the championship on behalf of the empire this time, my father is very happy. "

"Let me tell you quietly, my father values ​​you very much and wants to grant you a title, at least an earl, and an earl with a fiefdom. In recent decades, few people have achieved this. Brother Lin, you will be the king of the whole world in the next ten years or so. A man of the hour in mainland China.”

For soul masters, as long as they are willing, soul masters can become imperial viscounts.

However, the viscount here is just a meritorious noble, with no real power and no fiefdom. It is more like a title with no effect, but the nobles with territories are different.

Whether it is the Tiandou Empire or the Star Luo Empire, there are not many nobles who own territories. This is because the territory is limited. If there are too many enfeoffments, it will seriously threaten the power of the royal family.

Just like the current three kingdoms and one principality in the Tiandou Empire, they were developed from the top nobles.

On the surface, they are still loyal to the Tiandou Empire, but in fact, the empire no longer has much control over them. Instead, it is more like a country within a country.

It seems to be harmful to the empire, but Emperor Xueye has no choice. Forced by the threat of Wuhun Palace, he can only choose bloodletting if he wants to recruit talented soul masters.

Of course, the sudden addition of a territorial noble is not necessarily a bad thing.

Once you have power, you are forced to protect it. Not only can it be used to defend Wuhun Palace, but it can also check and balance the other major kingdoms and principalities, as long as it is used properly.

"This reward is too heavy!"

Lin Chuan was obviously surprised by Emperor Xueye's grandeur.

Not to mention, the so-called territory is quite tempting to him. As a territorial noble, he can not only establish a private army, but also obtain tax revenue from the territory, which is a considerable amount.

That is to say, it is only necessary to pay a part to the Tiandou Empire, but the remaining amount is still an astronomical figure.

Lin Chuan needed medicinal herbs and materials to improve his proficiency, but it was a big expenditure. It would undoubtedly be more convenient if he had enough money to support it.

Seeing Lin Chuan's reaction, Xue Qinghe also smiled silently.

"Brother Lin, don't be surprised. With your talent, you are worthy of what the empire has to pay. In addition, this is the territory area that my father and the ministers have discussed. They have all been drawn on it. Gu Ye has shown the advantages and disadvantages for you. You should think about it carefully. Bar!"

While talking, Xue Qinghe took out a stack of paper from the soul guide and handed it to Lin Chuan.

This favor is not small, it is already conveying goodwill.

Lin Chuan was not polite and reached out to take it, "Thank you, Brother Xue, for letting me know. I will remember your kindness!"

Hearing this, the smile on Xue Qinghe's face became brighter and brighter, "Hey, what Brother Lin said is a bit strange. We are all members of the empire, so we naturally have to support each other. I wonder if Brother Lin is interested in joining the court as an official. I can recommend it to my father."

"Thank you Brother Xue for your kindness, but I have no intention of pursuing an official career, but Brother Xue can rest assured that as long as the empire does not take the initiative to attack me, I will not do anything detrimental to the empire." Lin Chuan also said.
