Douluo Continent on the tip of the tongue

Chapter 222 Above the court
At dawn the next day, Shrek and his party took their luggage and rode a blood-red unicorn and left Star Luo City smoothly through the city gate.

The moment the city gate was closed, a man dressed in black slowly emerged from the shadows under the city gate. As soon as he appeared, he left quickly like an arrow leaving the string.

And the direction he was leaving was surprisingly the location of the Star Luo Empire's palace.

...

In the palace, the morning court was going on, and the courtiers were arguing and discussing state affairs, but they were basically innocuous and trivial matters, and most of them were related to the Soul Fighting Competition of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy that just ended yesterday.

Dai Yuansheng, the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, leaned lazily on the throne inlaid with countless precious stones, his right hand finger touched the armrest one after another, and there was an inexplicable light flickering in his slightly cloudy eyes.

Suddenly, his ears twitched slightly, as if he heard a voice from nowhere, and then his eyes lit up, and he stood up abruptly.

In the palace, the discussions and quarrels among the ministers suddenly stopped at this moment. Everyone turned their heads and looked at Dai Yuansheng in unison, wondering why the noble emperor suddenly stood up.

"Hehe." Dai Yuansheng chuckled and said slowly, "I have an idea."

"A few days ago, there was some turmoil on the border of the Tiandou Empire, especially in the area around Dongji Town. I am worried that some old fellows in Tiandou are thinking about my vast land of stars again. Therefore, I plan to temporarily suppress the Eastern Army. Transferred to Dongji Town, temporarily stationed to deter the Heaven Dou Empire, to keep my Xingluo safe, what do you guys think?"

This…

The officials looked at me and I looked at you, and soon one of them came out, "Your Majesty, I think it is feasible."

Immediately afterwards, many ministers echoed and nodded in agreement.

No wonder it is so. There was indeed some turmoil on the border of the Heaven Dou Empire some time ago, but at that time the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition was about to start. In order to ensure the smooth holding of the competition, this matter was temporarily put on hold. Now that the competition is over, Dai Yuansheng It makes perfect sense to mention it anyway.

Moreover, among the several armies stationed on the eastern border, the Zhendong Army is the closest to Dongji Town, and it is also the strongest one. It is also justified to send the Zhendong Army there.

Even if Dai Yuansheng didn't mention it, other courtiers would also suggest that the Zhendong Army go.

Only a few ministers did not follow the group of ministers to nod in favor of this matter, but an inexplicable look flashed in their eyes.

These ministers have one thing in common, they are all confidantes of Prime Minister Xu Changling.

And the other ministers who agreed, also sensed something was wrong at this moment.

Everyone in the prime minister's line did not nod.

This matter is not as simple as it seems!
Xu Changling lowered his head slightly, a trace of coldness flashed across his eyes.

Have you endured it for so long, can you finally take it no longer?
As early as more than ten days ago, he already knew about Dai Yuansheng's plot, but Dai Yuansheng didn't launch the attack as planned for a long time, probably because he wanted to do it after the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament was over.

Obviously, Dai Yuansheng didn't want to make the competition go smoothly, he was just afraid of something.

Xu Changling raised his head and glanced in the direction of Shrek City.

Come to think of it, the Shrek Academy team has already left the city by now.

Afraid that Shrek Academy would be involved, causing trouble?
There was a bit of contempt in Xu Changling's eyes.

"I don't know what the Prime Minister wants?" The smile on Dai Yuansheng's face was fake, but the killing intent in his eyes was very real.

So Xu Changling also smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, I also feel that this is a good idea. I also ask Your Majesty to issue an edict that I will affix the coat of arms of the ruling department and send it to the Zhendong Army."

More than ten days ago, he had secretly sent a secret letter to Xingluo City. After so many days, the Zhendong Army must have received this letter. Naturally, he didn't need to worry about Dai Youyuan falling into Dai Yuansheng's schemes. .

After all, his elder brother Youyuan has always been brave and resourceful. Although he has not seen him for many years, Xu Changling still has confidence in Dai Youyuan.

It's a pity that the royal family's rats were watching closely. In order not to startle the snake, Xu Changling had no way to get a response from the other party through the secret letter.

Xu Changling agreed?

Shouldn't he have sternly refused?

Dai Yuansheng was taken aback for a moment, surprised by Xu Changling's reaction, subconsciously, his eyes turned to Zhao Qu's position on the other side.

"Your Majesty, please issue an edict as soon as possible."

Although Xu Changling's reaction was beyond Zhao Qu's expectation, but he was scheming after all, so he reacted quickly at this moment and took the initiative to remind him.

Although I don't know why Xu Changling agreed, but the plan needs to continue.

"Okay, then I'll issue an edict, let's come here in the early court." With Zhao Qu's words, Dai Yuansheng seemed to have found the backbone, and nodded quickly, announcing the end of the early court.

...

"Dai Yuansheng made a move, why don't you make a move?" In the study of the prime minister's mansion, the man hidden under the black hood spoke in a low voice.

Xu Changling put his hands behind his back, quietly looked at the scenery outside the window, struggle and hesitation flashed in his eyes.

A beautiful figure appeared in his eyes, seeing the lovely appearance of his beloved daughter wandering in the courtyard, the struggle in his eyes slowly dissipated, replaced by a firm light.

"Hey, I want to ask you something!" The man under the hood couldn't get a response from Xu Changling for a while, and became a little impatient.

"noon."

"What?" the man asked in a daze, and was shocked by the majestic look in Xu Changling's eyes who turned around.

Can a weak person with seven rings intimidate me?
The man felt a little more angry, and at this moment, Xu Changling's deep voice came from his ear.

"At noon today, let me see your strength."

The corner of the man's mouth under the hood grinned, "Okay."

"Restrain them, and don't harm the people in the city."

"I can't control this, after all, you know about evil soul masters, they..."

"I'm not asking for your opinion!" Xu Changling interrupted the man fiercely, his eyes sparkled and his aura became stronger, "If you can't control it, then don't talk about cooperation."

"This..." For some reason, he, who was at the level of the Nine Rings, felt a little more disconcerted, "Okay, I'll let them pay attention."

"No, it is necessary!" Xu Changling stared at the man firmly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and for a moment, the man was stunned.

"it is good…"

In the man's heart, the feeling of being humiliated was even stronger.

It's just a seventh ring!

How dare you scold me!

When we get what we want, I will kill you immediately!
Sitting on the armchair, Xu Changling pressed the center of his eyebrows, "At that time, I will let my cronies in the Law Enforcement Department lock the city gates and temporarily implement city bans, but now that the competition has just ended, there are many people in Xingluo City who are distracted. The ban won't last long, so...you know what you're supposed to do, right?"

"Just kill an ant with eight rings." The man sneered, and glanced at Xu Changling meaningfully.

The eighth ring is nothing more than an ant in the eyes of this seat, what about you, the seventh ring?

As if he didn't see the deep meaning in the man's eyes, Xu Changling said quietly, "But this Eight Rings is surrounded by at least one Super Douluo and two Title Douluo level guardians."

"It's okay!" The man lifted his hood, with an expression of arrogance and contempt again on his face, "It's okay to kill!"
