Chapter 401: Discussion in court

Before Lu Yuan and others entered Tiandou City, they saw the Tiandou City wall that had been destroyed by the Titan Ape.

The originally majestic city wall had long since become a ruin, revealing the inner city of Tiandou City that was also in ruins. Around the city wall, tens of thousands of craftsmen were cleaning up the rubble-strewn ruins.

There are still 100,000 troops under martial law outside Tiandou City.

Ning Rongrong looked at the dilapidated walls of Tiandou City and couldn't hold it back for a moment. She grabbed Lu Yuan's arm with both hands and said extremely nervously, "Xiao Yuan... dad and two grandpas, will everything be okay?" ?!”

The outer walls of Tiandou City were destroyed like this, and the targets of the Titan Giant Ape and Azure Bull Python were the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect that imprisoned Xiao Wu.

Ning Rongrong couldn't even imagine whether the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect would be turned into ruins like the city wall outside Tiandou City.

Then what accidents will happen to her father, Grandpa Jian, and Grandpa Bone?

"I hope everything is okay..." Lu Yuan took a deep breath. He was actually not worried about Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo. Even the two supreme soul beasts, the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, could not kill them.

He was a little worried about Lu Qing and Mana. Their parents were ordinary people. Although they had martial arts souls, they didn't have any soul power.

Under such circumstances, even if Ning Fengzhi was asked to protect Lu Qing and Mana as much as possible, accidents might happen.

"Let's go! Let's go into the city!" Lu Yuan said.

Then the Tianying Army followed Lu Yuan and others forward. At this moment, a small captain came from the army under martial law in Tiandou City.

"Who are you?" he asked nervously.

Just then, "Boss!"

Two familiar voices sounded, and Lu Yuan smiled slightly, "I didn't expect it was you."

After the squad leader, two short young men ran over with surprise on their faces. Yes, they were the two graphite and stone mill brothers.

"Commander Shimo, Commander Shimo!" the squad leader shouted.

"This is General Tianying, Marquis of the Empire." Mo Mo said with a faint smile, "Don't be too nervous."

"It turns out to be Lord Tianyinghou!" The team leader immediately said respectfully, "I don't know that I am Lord Tianyinghou because of my humble position. I hope you can forgive me!"

Lu Yuan had recently defeated the wolf-like and tiger-like army of the Star Luo Empire, and also killed Gao Zhong, the prestigious victorious general of the Star Luo Empire, so his prestige in the Tiandou Empire now is not ordinary. Heavy.

At this moment, he is not only a genius boy but also a heroic general in the Tiandou Empire. I don’t know how many people admire him.

"It's okay, you did a good job." Lu Yuan said with a faint smile and waved his hand.

"You don't have anything to do here, just go about your business first." Shi Mo said calmly at this time.

"Yes, I resign from my humble position." The team leader immediately withdrew.

"I haven't seen you in the past two and a half years. My strength has improved a lot." Lu Yuan stretched out his hand, smiled and patted Mo Shimo on the shoulder.

Three years ago, Graphite Stone Mo had reached the forty-fourth level of soul power. Three years later, they finally broke through the fifty-level soul power and became soul kings.

"Hehe, you are still far behind compared to the boss. Boss, you are already a soul saint, right? You have been promoted to a soul saint at the age of eighteen..." Graphite Shi Mo's eyes were filled with admiration.

"Don't envy me, just work hard and move forward." Lu Yuan said helplessly.

"Graphite Stone Mo..." At this time, Ning Rongrong nervously interrupted their greetings, "Tell me, what is going on in Tiandou City now? How is my Seven Treasures Glazed Sect?"

Mo Mo smiled bitterly and said, "Currently, there have been hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties in Tiandou City, and the casualties of the two major sects should not be high. It is said that..."

"What is said?" Ning Rongrong couldn't help but become nervous, for fear of hearing some bad news.

"It is said that the daughter of Yu Luo Mian, the great elder of the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect, died in the Qibao Glazed Sect. Although everyone knows that this was not done by the Qibao Glazed Sect, but was killed by the 100,000-year-old Titan giant ape that came in. , but the great elder of the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect was still very angry and made a big fuss in the Qibao Glazed Sect..."

"What? Liu Erlong was killed by the Titan Ape?" Lu Yuan was quite surprised to hear this.

The relationship between Liu Erlong and Xiao Wu has become like mother and daughter after two years of living together.

And the Titan Giant Ape was Xiao Wu's "licking monkey". How could he kill Liu Erlong under such circumstances?

This completely surprised Lu Yuan.

As for the graphite stone mill not mentioning Xiao Wu, Lu Yuan didn't care. After all, the Qibao Glazed Sect would not make a big deal about Xiao Wu being rescued in the city.

Not many people in Tiandou City even know Xiao Wu's true identity and existence.

Lu Yuan also acquiesced that Xiao Wu was rescued.

"Yes." Shi Mo said, "So the relationship between the two sects has become very bad."

Ning Rongrong breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the person killed was not her relative, or someone outside the sect, she certainly felt relieved.

"Other than that, basically nothing happened in Tiandou City." Shi Mo continued.

"In this case, we have to go in and see His Majesty." Lu Yuan said with a smile, "We will still have time to chat with each other in the future, and the future will be long."

"Okay, boss, you go in, I'll let people go," said Shimo Shimo.

Then the Xuanwu Army outside Tiandou City obeyed Shimo Shimo's order and made way for Lu Yuan, Ning Rongrong, Lu Qingqing and others to enter the city.

Of course, most of the soldiers of the Tianying Army still had to stay outside the city. After all, this was the imperial capital, so how could anyone lead troops into the city casually.

As for the other senior officers, half followed Lu Yuan into the city, while the other half commanded the Tianying Army outside the city.

…

Lu Yuan said he wanted to go to the city to meet Xue Ye, but he did not go to the palace immediately, but returned to the Qibao Glazed Sect first.

He, Ning Rongrong, Lu Qingqing and others met Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo without any obstruction, as well as Lu Qing and Mana in the main hall. They seemed to be unharmed.

"Dad!" The first time Ning Rongrong saw Ning Fengzhi, she couldn't help but pounce on him.

Ning Fengzhi hugged Ning Rongrong's delicate body. His tired face showed a bit of exhaustion, "Rongrong, don't worry, dad is fine."

He knew that Ning Rongrong must be extremely worried.

"As long as Dad, Grandpa Jian and Grandpa Bone are fine." Ning Rongrong raised her head and smiled through tears, showing a bright smile.

On the other side, Lu Yuan and Lu Qingqing took the lead in coming to Lu Qing and Mana.

Lu Qingqing threw herself into the arms of her mother, Mana.

Lu Yuanlu was not so frivolous. He showed a steady smile to Lu Qing and Mana, "Father, mother, just be fine."

"Thanks to the in-laws who sent people to protect us and let us leave here temporarily." Mana said with lingering fear, "otherwise your father and I might be in the ruins right now."

"Helping Xiao Yuan protect A Qing and Mana is what I promised." Ning Fengzhi waved his hand and said.

Ning Rongrong was already paying attention to Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo next to him.

After spending this time together, Ning Fengzhi has become quite familiar with Lu Qing and Mana.

"Dad." Lu Yuan still said, "I still want to thank you."

"Let's put this matter aside for now." Ning Fengzhi shook his head, and then his face turned serious, "Xiao Yuan, that Xiao Wu was rescued."

"I had expected it. Dad, you didn't know that I was intercepted by a soul beast on the way back." Lu Yuan nodded and said, "Their purpose is to stop me, so I have already been mentally prepared. That rabbit The lady will be rescued."

"Not only this, but now the Star Dou Forest has returned to its previous appearance and has once again become a forbidden area for human soul masters. Those soul beasts have not left yet." Ning Fengzhi said solemnly, "I think they probably want to... …”

"Launch another beast wave!"

"Really?" Lu Yuan's expression also became solemn.

This is not surprising. After all, after Xiao Wu was rescued, Xiao Wu's hatred for him would probably encourage the Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape to launch a beast wave.

The Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape no longer have any scruples this time. They have launched a beast wave before, and it seems nothing strange to launch a beast wave now.

"The most important thing is that not long ago, the fourth prince Xue Beng said in front of His Majesty, 'Tianyinghou said before that he had solved the soul beast tide. How could he launch another wave of beasts? Is it possible that Tianyinghou deceived His Majesty?' So now Above the court, many nobles led by Prince Xuexing have opinions about you, Xiaoyuan." Ning Fengzhi said with a frown.

"It may not be so easy for you to enter the palace to meet His Majesty this time."

"Avalanche, Snow Star..." Lu Yuan chuckled, "I'm just a clown. Is it possible that your majesty will turn a blind eye to the fact that I defeated the Xingluo army and returned triumphantly?"

He deliberately showed an angry look in front of Ning Fengzhi, "While they were enjoying their glory and wealth at home, I was the one who protected the integrity of the empire's territory!"

"Anyway, they will become losers after His Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne." He continued to say in front of Ning Fengzhi, "They are not qualified to have opinions on me."

Ning Fengzhi also smiled and nodded, his smile full of approval, "As long as His Highness can successfully ascend the throne, they really have nothing to worry about..."

"But there are still some troubles now."

"Dad, let me go into the palace with you to see His Majesty now!" Lu Yuan said immediately.

"Okay, without further ado, we will enter the palace immediately." Ning Fengzhi nodded and said.

…

Soon, Lu Yuan and Ning Fengzhi walked into the Tiandou Palace. After notifying the guards, they waited outside for a while.

After a while, Emperor Xueye asked his ministers to summon them.

But in the Great Meeting Hall, there was not only Emperor Xue Ye, but also Qian Renxue, and...

The fourth prince of the Tiandou Empire has an avalanche!

Prince Xuexing of the Heaven Dou Empire!

Marshal Ge Long of the Tiandou Empire!

"See you, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty and a thousand lives, Your Highness." Ning Fengzhi and Lu Yuan saluted slightly.

"Okay, no courtesy." Emperor Xueye had a gentle smile on his face, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Just after Ning Fengzhi and Lu Yuan saluted, two voices sounded almost at the same time.

"Father, I would like to ask my father to reward Tianyinghou for his contribution in defeating the enemy."

"Father, I would like to ask my father to punish Lu Yuan for the crime of deceiving his superiors and concealing the truth from his Majesty!"

These two voices were the voices of Emperor Xue Ye's two "sons", "Xue Qinghe" and Xue Beng.

It’s just that the two people said different things. One wanted Emperor Xue Ye to reward Lu Yuan for his great contribution in defeating the Star Luo Empire army, and the other wanted Emperor Xue Ye to punish Lu Yuan for not completely solving the hidden danger of the soul beast tide and deceiving Emperor Xue Ye. .

Qian Renxue and Xue Beng looked at each other, and then looked at Emperor Xue Ye sitting on top.

Emperor Xueye had an expressionless face, not knowing what he was thinking, "Does Tianyinghou already know what happened to Tiandou City this time?"

"Of course I know." Lu Yuan said neither humble nor arrogant.

Anyway, Emperor Xueye couldn't kill him because of this.

"You said two years ago that the soul beast matter has been resolved, and you made a non-aggression oath with the soul beast supreme." Emperor Xueye said, "But now the soul beast supreme has come to invade our Tiandou City again. , resulting in the casualties of hundreds of thousands of people in the city..."

"Your Majesty!" Ning Fengzhi spoke at this time, "Didn't this mean that the Soul Beast Supreme tore up the contract? What does it have to do with Tianyinghou?"

"Just like the Star Luo Empire attacked the Zhennan Pass of our Tiandou Empire without declaring war. Does the responsibility for this matter lie with our Tiandou Empire?"

Emperor Xue Ye was thoughtful and seemed to think something made sense.

"For another example, I went to the Tiandou Auction House and bought a soul bone. I promised that the property would be settled after the auction, but the Tiandou Auction House said afterwards that they regretted it and would not give the soul bone to me. ." Ning Fengzhi looked at Xue Beng.

"May I ask Your Highness the Fourth Prince, is this my fault, or is it the fault of the Tiandou Auction House?"

Xue Beng frowned and his lips trembled, not knowing what to say.

"Dad, there is no need to defend me." Lu Yuan said calmly at this time, "If anyone thinks that I have done something wrong, then cancel my credit for risking my life to kill the enemy on the front line, and I will never do it again. Stop going to the front line and live a good life of glory and wealth in a mansion without any danger like some people do."

His obvious sneer instantly made Xue Beng look ugly.

But Xue Beng had no reason to lose his temper. This was in front of Emperor Xue Ye, and he could no longer act as coquettish as before.

"That's enough!" Emperor Xueye said at this time, "This attack by the spirit beast cannot be blamed on Tianyinghou. It's because the spirit beast is dishonest and behaves like a beast. If he wants to break the contract, he will break it, and he will violate my destiny. Doucheng, causing casualties of hundreds of thousands of people, makes me extremely sad."

"At this moment, I also heard that the front line Zhennanguan was in danger. The Xingluo Empire invaded our territory for no reason. The empire was in crisis for a while. It was Tianyinghou who traveled a hundred miles to Zhennanguan to kill the enemy and protect the territory."

"Such great achievements must be rewarded!" Emperor Xueye said with a smile.

"Then I will reward Tianyinghou to expand the number of Tianyinghou's army to 100,000! At the same time, the reward will be one million soul coins, 30,000 war horses, 50,000 battle armors, and two cities near Tianying City will be designated as Tianyinghou's fiefdom... ..." Emperor Xue Ye directly and boldly issued a large reward, almost all of which included gold, silver, jewelry, war horses and armor, and military and horse fiefdoms.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lu Yuan said.

Emperor Xueye smiled softly at this time, "Don't say thank you so quickly. Tianyinghou has made great contributions to the empire, but I feel that these rewards are not enough."

Lu Yuan was helpless and thought, if you think it's not enough, why don't you just make me king?

To put it bluntly, I just don’t want to block it, and I also want to cause some trouble.

Lu Yuan didn't pay attention, "Your Majesty, I have nothing to repay for your kindness. Even if I wear a ring of grass in my next life, I won't be able to repay you."

"Okay, okay! Hahaha, Tianyinghou is so loyal." Emperor Xueye laughed and said, "Then I can't be stingy."

"I heard that Marquis Tianying has a sibling sister named Lu Qingqing. She is exquisite and beautiful, has a charming personality and is even a viscount of the empire."

"It just so happens that my prince, Xue Qinghe, does not have a formal marriage now, so let Tianyinghou's sister become my prince's first wife..."

"how?"
