Chapter 6 Duel

"See Your Majesty."

They both bowed and sat down under the eunuch's guidance.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report to Your Majesty."

"What's up?"

The fifth elder has never been involved in the affairs of the royal family. Today, when he came to the White Tiger Palace, Emperor Xingluo also became interested.

The fifth elder bowed and said: "The fourth prince of the empire has been born. According to the clan rules, we have to find a good match in the Zhu family. But now the only unmarried person in the Zhu family is a girl who has awakened the ghost cat martial spirit."

"So, I would like to boldly ask Your Majesty to give this woman to the fourth prince."

The emperor was a little surprised. Why did the fifth elder take care of Dai Yao so much? He had nothing to do with Dai Yao. There must be something hidden here.

"No, the third prince is not married yet, why should he be engaged to the fourth prince first?" The queen said with a gentle smile, her voice as sweet as an oriole.

She came here tonight just for Dai Yao. The harem has always been under her control, and Dai Yao's situation is clear. However, I never thought that this brat's talent would be so high that the Presbyterian Council, which usually didn't ask about royal affairs, would come forward.

Every time she thought of that woman, she gritted her teeth with hatred, and she didn't want to let go of that person's evil.

So, how could she allow Zhu Zhuqing to be betrothed to that scoundrel?

"What the Queen said is wrong. In our Dai family, we have never followed the order of elders and younger ones. This is true for the succession of the throne, and this is also true." Although the fifth elder was worried about the Queen, for the continuation of Dai Yao's martial spirit, for the sake of Bai Hu For the family's prosperity, he had to be on the opposite side of the queen.

What's more, as long as it's something he thinks is right, he's never been afraid of anyone.

"Your Majesty, Mubai is your child. He has been waiting for three years for a suitable marriage partner. If a girl from the Zhu family is betrothed to Dai Yao, wouldn't it be a waste of Mubai's three years?" The queen was soft and weak. Weak, cried to Emperor Xingluo.

"The Queen..." The fifth elder was about to retort, but was interrupted by Emperor Xingluo's wave.

"You don't have to argue. What you both said makes sense, but no matter who you marry that woman to, some people will be dissatisfied."

"My Dai family does not talk about the order of seniority. Since ancient times, the victor gets everything. This is true for the succession of the throne, and it is also true for this matter." The emperor's words were as cold as the rules of the Dai family.

"Let the two of them duel, and the one who wins gets the right to marry."

After hearing what Emperor Xing Luo said, both of them were a little happy.

From the Queen's point of view, Emperor Xingluo still favored her. Although it was a duel, the age gap between Dai Yao and Dai Mubai was too big. In terms of strength, Dai Mubai had an absolute advantage. Dai Mubai had already reached the seventeenth level soul at this time. Due to their strength, the outcome of the duel between the two can only be Dai Mubai's victory.

And the current result is the purpose of the fifth elder.

It is undoubtedly a whim to betroth Zhu Zhuqing to Dai Yao. Just like bargaining, first cut a price that others cannot accept, and then put forward the price in your heart, which will be more acceptable to others. The fifth elder made this proposal to lay the groundwork for the final goal.

"Your Majesty, His Highness the Fourth Prince has not yet obtained the soul ring. Can we wait until he becomes a soul warrior before engaging in a duel?" asked the fifth elder.

"That's agreed." The Emperor replied.

Looking at the queen who was about to retort, the emperor stopped her and said, "Our White Tiger family has never been afraid of challenges. If he can't defeat someone who has just obtained the first soul ring, what qualifications does Dai Mubai have to be called the Prince of Xingluo! "

"My child, I will fight for the opportunity to give you. Whether you can seize it or not depends on you." The fifth elder sighed in his heart. It was obvious that he was not optimistic about Dai Yao. After all, the gap in soul power between the two was too big. .

······

The news that Dai Yao had awakened the sacred White Tiger Martial Spirit and was ennobled as the fourth prince began to spread to the mainland like lightning.

In the palace, several eunuchs who had bullied Dai Yao suddenly changed their expressions when they heard the news.

They were sure that Dai Yao would only awaken a useless martial spirit and there would be no room for improvement in the palace, so under the Queen's instruction, they bullied Dai Yao unscrupulously.

And now, Dai Yao, who has a powerful martial soul, will definitely become a powerful soul master in the future.

Although he will definitely fail in the competition for the throne, he is a prince after all, and there will be no problem in dealing with them.

"The only plan now is to eliminate the previous hatred before the fourth prince becomes stronger. If that doesn't work, then..." Eunuch Li made a cutting motion with his hand knife.

All the eunuchs were shocked when they looked at Eunuch Li with a cruel look on his face, but thinking of the situation at this time, there was no good solution.

Return to the cold palace.

Dai Yao went home worried. He looked up and saw several eunuchs waiting anxiously in front of the door.

Seeing Dai Yao, all the eunuchs hurriedly knelt down on the ground. Eunuch Li hugged Dai Yao's leg and said flatteringly: "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince for awakening the White Tiger Martial Spirit. In the past, it was the few of us who were blind and did not recognize Taishan, and offended Your Highness." , we know that our sins deserve death.”

"We all hope to do something for His Highness. Although no matter what we do, we can't make up for the harm done to His Highness, but if we can reduce even a trace of His Highness's hatred, we will be satisfied!"

Dai Yao sneered in his heart, but remained calm on the outside, and replied: "I have known each of you, father-in-law, since I was a child, and I know that you all have your difficulties. But the things I have suffered in the past have made it difficult for me not to hate you, so I want to If I let you go, it depends on your performance."

He said this on his lips, but he didn't think so in his heart.

Hunger, pain, cold... these painful feelings tortured him for six years. These pains are unforgettable and he will never forget them in his life. He wanted to skin them and tear them apart, so how could he let them go?

Although he is a prince now, he has not established any power. If a prince directly deals with several eunuchs, it will lower his evaluation in the royal family and the family. If he wants to deal with the Queen, he has to show his potential. Such idiotic behavior will definitely drive away potential investors.

But most importantly, he wanted to keep a steady hand.

He lives in the cold palace, and is cared for by eunuchs inside and outside. If they have evil intentions. Although he had awakened his martial spirit, he was only six years old after all, and he had been lacking nutrition for a long time. He was unable to defeat four hands with his two fists, and he could not escape death.

So in order to prevent them from jumping over the wall in a hurry, now when they beg for mercy, we have to give them a chance to make them feel that there is a possibility of making amends.

After blasting away the eunuch, Dai Yao returned to the room.

I saw that the house had a brand new look. It was cleaned cleanly, many decorations were added, the broken windows were repaired, and even the collapsed walls were repaired.

There is also a sumptuous meal on the table.

Dai Yao sneered: "No matter how much you do, it's useless. Tomorrow, you just wait for my revenge."

As the saying goes, repay kindness with kindness and revenge with hatred.

He has never been a person who repays kindness with kindness. When others bully him, he will repay them twice as much when he has the ability. Tonight is just to prevent them from jumping over the wall in a hurry, so we need to be on the safe side first.

They'll just have to wait and see when the prince officially ascends the throne tomorrow.

Now, he has more important things to do.
