Douluo: The First Empire

"'Qinghe' has met Sect Leader Ning, Sword Douluo, and Ghost Douluo."

Qian Renxue bowed elegantly and said hello.

"His Royal Highness, you are polite."

Ning Fengzhi did not dare to neglect and responded with the same courtesy.

While 'Xue Qinghe' and Ning Fengzhi were greeting each other, a pink figure trotted up to Lu Yu, hugged one of Lu Yu's arms, and asked in a sweet voice:

"Brother Lu Yu, we haven't seen you for so long. Do you miss Rongrong?"

But Lu Yu will not be fooled by the superb acting skills of 'Little Witch'.

When she was a child, Ning Rongrong showed her nature as a 'little witch', making other children cry every time, especially the naive brothers Nangong Yi and Nangong Yong.

But Ning Rongrong was very particular about the location he chose every time. It would take Nangong Yong and the others at least half an hour to run home.

Half an hour later, no matter how big the grievance was, all the grievances were shed with tears. By the time they ran home and cried, they could no longer squeeze out a single tear. Naturally, the elders would not take it seriously and would just put it away with a few words of comfort.

As for the Qibao Glazed Sect, although the sect guards arranged by Ning Fengzhi truthfully reported what Ning Rongrong had done, Ning Rongrong had Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo protecting him like his own granddaughter, so naturally he would not be affected by it. What punishment.

Therefore, Ning Rongrong's character became more and more unruly, and the title of 'Little Witch' spread more and more widely. The only person in Tiandou City who was not successfully pranked by Ning Rongrong was probably Lu Yu, so Lu Yu knew what decision he should make now.

"Of course I miss Rongrong very much. I even prepared a gift for Rongrong in advance."

"really?"

Ning Rongrong finally showed a satisfied smile.

Lu Yu searched through the storage soul guide and quickly found a barely acceptable gift.

"I believe this gift will definitely match the beautiful little Princess Ning Rongrong."

A pale pink, beautifully carved sapphire necklace appeared in Lu Yu's hand. This necklace was obtained by Lu Yu and the Imperial Guard through robbery.

"It's so beautiful. Can you put it on for me?"

Ning Rongrong took off the necklace Ning Fengzhi gave her and said to Lu Yu expectantly.

'Damn it, I haven't seen you in a few years, why is Ning Rongrong so crazy? '

Lu Yu, whose heart was turned upside down, looked at Qian Renxue, only to find that 'Xue Qinghe' and Ning Fengzhi were having a lively conversation at this time, as if they didn't even notice what was going on here.

But Lu Yu didn't notice that Qian Renxue's right hand was clenched so tightly that the knuckles turned white.

"no problem."

Lu Yu held both ends of the necklace and carefully tied it to Ning Rongrong's smooth and delicate swan neck. Ning Rongrong's fair skin and pink sapphire echoed each other. This necklace and Ning Rongrong were a match made in heaven.

Ning Rongrong lifted the hem of her skirt and spun it around in place. The white light emitted by the soul guide chandelier reflected on the beautiful Ning Rongrong. The faint brilliance was refracted by the pink sapphire and turned into a curtain of light that enveloped Ning Rongrong.

"How is it? Does it look good?"

Only then did Lu Yu know that the little girl who had a runny nose, chased him to beat him, and was finally coaxed by a candy had grown up into a slim and beautiful girl without knowing it.

But before Lu Yu could say his words of praise, he was interrupted by a sudden change.

"Emperor Xue Ye has arrived!"

Under the protection of a team of royal guards, the white-haired Emperor Xueye looked like the Lion King in his twilight years, except that he had an extra cane to support his body.

"Peacock Crown Prince Lu Yu, cough... cough... huh."

The maid on the side quickly patted Emperor Xueye's back to help him relax.

"You did a good job in killing Davis, the eldest prince of the Star Luo Empire. You don't have to worry about their revenge, cough... cough..."

"The remaining five princes of the Star Luo Empire disappeared three years ago. What they should have a headache... ahem... what they should have a headache for is how to find their only remaining prince."

Lu Yu didn't know what to say below. Is the intelligence system of the Tiandou Empire so bad that he didn't even know that Dai Mubai had entered Tiandou City?

"Peacock Crown Prince Lu Yu, come forward to receive the seal."

Lu Yu took a step forward, placed his right hand on his heart, and bowed slightly for thirty degrees. This was the unique privilege of princes and nobles. No matter when, where or what happened, there was no need to kneel down to the emperor.

"Lu Yu, heir to the first-class prince of the Tiandou Empire, accepts the title."

Seeing such a formal scene, the soul masters who were not familiar with the internal affairs of the Tiandou Empire also became nervous. Even Lu Yu had experienced such a scene for the first time. The last time he was appointed as the Commander of the Imperial Guard Division, he only went to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. I received the official seal and official uniform.

"The Peacock Crown Prince Lu Yu is made a first-class national-protecting general, and elite soul masters are allowed to be drawn from the Fifth Army of the Gyeonggi Province to build an army, with a maximum limit of 2 people. The military orders are jointly controlled by the Peacock Crown Prince Lu Yu and the Crown Prince 'Xue Qinghe'."

"Give Prince Peacock ten thousand years of spiritual power and a soul bone on his head."

"Thank you, Emperor, for the gift."

After the 'confestion' was completed, Emperor Xueye left with his seriously ill body. Lu Yu remembered that when he first returned to Tiandou City, Emperor Xueye was still quite strong although he looked a little old. Now he has only passed Within five or six months, Emperor Xue Ye looked like he was terminally ill. Qian Renxue's contribution was not small.

The so-called 'confestion' of Lu Yu this time was actually just to further consolidate the position of the crown prince of Xue Qinghe. The transfer of elite soul masters from the Fifth Gyeonggi Army was also just Emperor Xueye's attempt to weaken the strength of the Gyeonggi Fifth Army. , to prevent them from supporting their troops and respecting themselves, and turning a blind eye to the orders of the new emperor "Xue Qinghe".

It can only be said that Jiang is still too old to take advantage of Lu Yu's return with glory. On the surface, Lu Yu was rewarded, but in fact it achieved the purpose of weakening the fifth army of Gyeonggi. Moreover, it was Lu Yu of the Xungui Group who took the blame, which further consolidated the situation. The stability of 'Xue Qinghe''s rule can be said to kill three birds with one stone.

Unfortunately, these can only be based on whether 'Xue Qinghe' is still Xue Qinghe. If 'Xue Qinghe' is no longer Xue Qinghe, all this will be in vain.

Only the head soul bone is still of some use. Although Lu Yu can't use it, Shui Bing'er can still use it.

The Millennium Ice Jade Scorpion King produced a left arm bone. If it weren't for the fact that the soul bone and the soul ring were produced from the same rare soul beast, Lu Yu would not have been able to let Shui Bing'er absorb the Millennium Soul Bone. The Millennium Soul Bone was too weak. , isn’t the ten thousand year soul bone fragrant?

After Emperor Xue Ye left, more and more people wanted to talk to Lu Yu. After all, Emperor Xue Ye's meaning was very obvious.

Xue Qinghe is the future Emperor Tiandou, and no one can have any thoughts that they shouldn't have.Lu Yu will be a super important minister who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people in the future Tiandou Empire.

They didn't dare to curry favor with the Crown Prince, 'Xue Qinghe', for fear that the Crown Prince would think that they were incompetent and just trying to flatter him. But it was different with Lu Yu. Even if they failed to curry favor with him, there would be no loss, so why not Why?

But Ning Rongrong, the little princess of Qibao Glazed Sect, forcefully interrupted everyone's enthusiastic conversation and dragged Lu Yu away from the crowd.

Qian Renxue had been paying attention to Lu Yu who was dealing with the minister. Seeing that Lu Yu was about to be dragged away by Ning Rongrong, how could she hold back.

"Wait a minute, Prince Peacock will not forget that he will go to my house to discuss matters later, but don't forget to play with little Princess Ning Rongrong."

Although Qian Renxue always smiled when she spoke, Lu Yu could clearly feel a faint chill coming from Qian Renxue.

"Since Brother Lu Yu has something serious to do soon, let me tell you here. It's my birthday in three months. Brother Lu Yu, remember to come, otherwise Rongrong will be unhappy."

After seeing Ning Rongrong let go of his arm and the coldness in Qian Renxue's eyes obviously reduced, Lu Yu felt like he was being pardoned and quickly agreed:

"Don't worry, I will definitely be there for the little princess's birthday."

Ning Rongrong smiled brightly after hearing Lu Yu's reply. She stretched out her right hand and handed it to Lu Yu, bending her little finger.

"Pull the hook."

After hearing this ancient vocabulary, Lu Yu was stunned for a moment. He seemed to have taught it to Ning Rongrong when he was a child.

"Okay, pull the hook."

The two little fingers hooked together to form the simplest and most affectionate vow.

Ning Rongrong happily ran back to her father Ning Fengzhi. Only Qian Renxue and Lu Yu were left here to live together.

"You don't blame me for driving away your childhood sweetheart, do you?"

Before Lu Yu could deny it, Qian Renxue continued:

"Go out for a walk together?"

"it is good."

Immediately, Qian Renxue took Lu Yu around the front hall of the palace. Qian Renxue walked in front without saying a word, and Lu Yu behind him didn't know what to say.

"What do you think of this Tiandou Palace?"

Qian Renxue suddenly asked an inexplicable question.

"It's very good, magnificent and beautiful."

Lu Yu could only resort to tricks and answer Qian Renxue's questions first.

Qian Renxue, who was walking, suddenly turned around, and Lu Yu almost ran into Qian Renxue head-on, recreating a classic Japanese comic plot.

"Then...how about you becoming the master of the palace?"

These words were like a thunderbolt exploding in the small courtyard. If it were an ordinary minister, he might think that his master wanted to kill him, or that his treason plan had been exposed.

But Lu Yu is different. Lu Yu knows that this is Qian Renxue's true words. Perhaps it is the long-term pressure, or perhaps Ning Rongrong today has stimulated her, so Qian Renxue did this irrational thing. Decide.

"Xue Qinghe, calm down. This is not a question you should ask, and you should not have such thoughts. I will send you back to Rensheng Palace first."

Lu Yu grabbed Qian Renxue's little hand, and the Emerald Dragon King's trunk bones emitted a bright green light. The two of them disappeared into the palace in an instant. After the guards hidden a hundred meters away rushed over at full speed, they only saw a note coming from Falling slowly in mid-air.

'The prince has returned to the palace safely, and the Peacock Crown Prince Lu Yu remains. '

……

Rensheng Palace, Qian Renxue’s room.

Two figures suddenly appeared in the air, and then fell on Qian Renxue's bed. Lu Yu shook his head to dispel the dizziness in his mind. This was the first time Lu Yu moved in space outside his sight.

The first soul skill unlocked by the Emerald Dragon King's torso bone: Space Shift, which can appear at any point within a straight line distance of fifty kilometers. If Lu Yu only sets the distance to fifty kilometers, then Lu Yu will appear at any point fifty kilometers away. superior.

Unless Lu Yu can see that place, or has been there before, and can recall it, such as Qian Renxue's bed...

It was probably Qian Renxue's first time to move across a long distance. She was a little confused at this time, but it didn't matter. She would get used to it after moving a few times.

Although they only moved ten kilometers this time, it was also Lu Yu's first time to 'take someone to drive'. With his low proficiency, a lot of soul power was wasted, so at this time, he was sitting cross-legged at the end of the bed to recover his soul power. I definitely don’t want to stay on Qian Renxue’s bed, absolutely not.

About 5 minutes later, Qian Renxue got over the sequelae of the space shift and woke up leisurely.In fact, this is caused by Lu Yu's "unskilled driving skills". Once he becomes proficient in driving skills, he will no longer feel uncomfortable and will only make people feel happy...

"Are you awake? Have you calmed down now?"

Lu Yu poured a cup of tea and handed it to Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue took it and drank it in one gulp, suppressing the vomiting reaction.

"Huh... much better. Is this space movement?"

Lu Yu took the empty water glass and placed it on the table.

"Well, I'm not very proficient in the soul bone skill yet. It's my first time to move someone, are you afraid?"

Qian Renxue fell into silence after hearing this, and then said after a long time:

"Get more familiar with this soul bone skill. It's a very precious soul bone. Never use it in front of people from Wuhun Palace. If you want to use it, kill all witnesses."

Don't use it in front of people from Wuhun Hall?Have you completely forgotten your alignment?However, this is also good.

Lu Yu smiled warmly and said with relief:

"Don't worry, this is my first time using soul bone skills in front of a soul master. The royal guards in Tiandou Palace are still trustworthy."

Well, Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor are not considered soul masters.

"That's good. You can go back first. I'm a little tired today."

Lu Yu nodded lightly, knowing that something was wrong with Qian Renxue's state today. It seemed that the pressure that had been accumulated had exploded today. If Qian Renxue's words were heard by the guards of the Tiandou royal family, then they would report it to Emperor Xue Ye. .

First of all, Lu Yu couldn't stay in Tiandou City any longer, even though Emperor Xueye took into account the strength of the Peacock Palace and would not turn against the Peacock Palace.

But Lu Yu could only return to the province where the Peacock Army was stationed, wait for the opportunity, and compete in the world. Many of his previous plans would be in vain.

As for Qian Renxue's fate, to be precise, the fate of 'Xue Qinghe' will not be much better. Whether the crown prince can be retained is still unknown. Maybe Emperor Xue Ye will be angered to death, and then Qian Renxue will ascend the throne. Where is the emperor?

Today's events also sounded the alarm for Lu Yu. Tiandou City cannot be left to Qian Renxue to deal with it. Sooner or later something will go wrong. Moreover, Emperor Xue Ye cannot be allowed to die too early. Lu Yu still needs Emperor Xue Ye to check and balance Wu. Soul Palace.

The current Qian Renxue and Lu Yu alone are not enough to compete with Wuhun Palace, which has turned into a war machine. Time, Lu Yu and Qian Renxue both need time.

Emperor Xueye, Kingdom of Silvis, Dai Mubai, Star Luo Empire, Tang San, these are all crucial chess pieces, and their positions cannot be moved.

The biggest and most uncontrollable variable at present is Qian Renxue. Lu Yu waved his hand hard, as if he slapped Qian Renxue on the butt, telling you to be disobedient!
