Nine leaves of Douluo

Chapter 67 The Duke of Netherworld
Ye Jiu had already prepared the plan for the second training. After saying goodbye to his parents, Ye Jiu and Zhu Zhuqing set off together.

And the first target this time is the Nether Duke's Mansion located in the capital of the Star Luo Empire!And what the two of them have to do is to completely end the fate that Zhu Zhuqing bears.

Huangzong is located in the southeast of the Heaven Dou Empire, and Star Luo City is located in the northeast of the Star Luo Empire, the distance between the two is not too far.

After rushing at full speed, it didn't take long for the two of them to arrive at Xingluo City, the capital of the Star Luo Empire.

The style of the Star Luo Empire is completely different from that of the Heaven Dou Empire.The Star Luo Empire has always been founded on the basis of military force, with a tough style and adhering to the supremacy of the strong.

This can be seen from the walls of the capital alone.

Compared with the walls of Tiandou City, the walls of Xingluo City are much rougher, and even the stones used to build the walls are simply polished.

However, the defensive power of the city wall is definitely not bad. Although it is not as high as the terrifying height of Wuhun City, its thickness is still higher than that. It is not difficult to withstand the impact of thousands of troops.

Especially the soldiers with bright armor on the city wall are not comparable to those shiny soft-legged shrimps in Tiandou City.

And the densely packed defense equipment is even more daunting.

When entering the city gate, the inspection of the guarding soldiers was also quite strict.Zhu Zhuqing took out a medal depicting a ghost civet to prove his identity, and the soldier bowed and retreated.

Only then did the two successfully enter Star Luo City.Ye Jiu looked at the surrounding scenery while walking towards Duke Youming's mansion.

In the original book, all the maps that Tang San opened were concentrated in the Heaven Dou Empire, but there were only a few descriptions of the strongest empire on this continent.Now that he came to Xingluo City, Ye Jiu must take a good look at it.

As expected of the martial-minded Star Luo Empire, most of the passers-by on the street were dressed in combat-friendly outfits.Even ordinary people who are not soul masters still carry weapons, and their martial virtues are too strong.

As the capital of the empire, Star Luo City naturally has the atmosphere of a capital city, and its prosperity is no less than that of Tiandou City.

Ye Jiu bought two skewers of barbecued meat from a stall on one side, handed one to Zhu Zhuqing casually, stuffed the other into his mouth, chewed and said, "You haven't eaten something from your hometown for a long time, have you tried it?" Is it the same taste as before?"

Zhu Zhuqing took the barbecue and really wanted to tell Ye Jiu that she had no money and no mood to buy this kind of barbecue because of her childhood situation, but after thinking about it, she didn't need to make Ye Jiu feel sad about her past.

She smiled and said, "Okay, you don't need to use this method to relax me. I was never nervous about going home this time."

Ye Jiu's cautious appearance made Zhu Zhuqing laugh secretly, but he couldn't help feeling a little sweet in his heart.

Ye Jiu scratched his hair, and said embarrassedly: "Am I acting so obvious?"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded to Ye Jiu, making Ye Jiu even more embarrassed.But for some reason, Ye Jiu felt that Zhu Zhuqing's steps were much lighter.

After wandering around enough, the two of them also came to the door of Duke Nether's Mansion.

The Zhu family and the Dai family of the Star Luo Empire have always shared weal and woe, and the empress does not know how many there are.Getting the honorable position of a duke is also a matter of course.

Ye Jiu was puzzled when he read the original book. The Zhu family and the Dai family have been married for an unknown number of years.To be reasonable, it should have been considered a close relative marriage.

Then how could the descendants of the Dai family have no problems at all.Could it be because of the soul power, but no matter how amazing the soul power is, it won't be able to do everything!

Later, Ye Jiu learned from Zhu Zhuqing that not every generation of the Dai family and the Zhu family could combine.It is rare for Zhu Zhuqing's generation to have two couples of the right age.

Moreover, the Duke of Nether is not a single branch, there are several branches.Therefore, congenital deficiencies in offspring caused by inbreeding can be avoided.

Ye Jiu suddenly realized that a novel is a novel, when in the real world there are always some situations that he doesn't understand but are quite reasonable.

Although he had been away from home for nearly five years, the guards of the Duke's Mansion still recognized Zhu Zhuqing and let them enter the gate of the Duke's Mansion without embarrassing them, and told them that Duke Nether was waiting for them in the living room.

Although he left home when he was young, Zhu Zhuqing still accurately brought Ye Jiu to the living room that the guard said based on his memory.

It seemed that the people in the mansion had already got the news, so when Ye Jiu and Zhu Zhuqing walked into the living room, they saw a middle-aged man sitting on a chair.

When the two entered the gate, the middle-aged man also looked up.

A wave of soul power fell directly on the two of them, and Ye Jiu could feel that the master of the Nether Duke's Mansion had at least Contra's cultivation.And at his age, it is not impossible to break through Title Douluo in the future.

Pressing Ye Jiu with the soul power of the Duke of Nether, there was nothing unusual, and he even had time to observe the highest-ranking nobleman in the Star Luo Empire.

Just kidding, is Ye Jiu's almost fully formed torso and soul bone a display!If he couldn't resist the oppression of soul power alone, then wouldn't Ye Jiu's strength in the past year and a half be wasted!

Not only Ye Jiu, but even Zhu Zhuqing could move freely under the pressure of this soul power.She also has six soul bones now, although her physical fitness is not as good as Ye Jiu's, she is definitely not bad.

The Duke of Nether was a little surprised. He originally wanted to give these two people a bad start, but found that the other party didn't care at all.Isn't this too disrespectful to this Contra.

Subconsciously wanted to increase the output of soul power, but thinking of the Titled Douluo who came to the mansion before, the Duke of Nether subconsciously followed his heart.

Withdrawing his soul power, Duke Nether said to Zhu Zhuqing: "You are finally back!"

Zhu Zhuqing said in a cold voice: "I'm back...Father!"

That's right, the Duke of Nether of this generation is Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing's biological father.

Duke You Ming didn't have the joy of his daughter's return on his face, it would be better to say he was as indifferent as Zhu Zhuqing.

"Then what are you doing back here?" Duke Nether asked coldly.

Zhu Zhuqing looked directly into Duke Nether's eyes without backing down, and said: "My purpose, I just want to tell you that my own destiny can only be decided by myself in the future.

I have never been, and never will be, dependent on family.I also hope that the family will not interfere with my future. "

Duke Nether snorted coldly and said, "Family? You know there is a family!"

Seeing that the conversation between father and daughter became more and more tense, Ye Jiu stepped forward and said, "My lord, can you listen to me?"

"Who are you?" With such an attitude towards his own daughter, how could the Duke of You Ming be polite to Ye Jiu.

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing standing in front of him like a hen protecting its chicks, Ye Jiu couldn't help smiling, patted her on the shoulder and walked forward.

Looking at Duke You Ming, Ye Jiu said neither humble nor overbearing: "It doesn't matter who I am, I'm just speaking the truth today."

"Reasonable? I want to hear what reasoning you use to convince me!" The Duke of Nether said with a look of disdain, reasoning with the Star Luo Empire, which is full of martial virtues. This kid is really too naive.

Only Zhu Zhuqing felt the evil smile on Ye Jiu's face, and sure enough, what Ye Jiu said hit Duke Nether in the face.

"A few days ago, my teacher should have visited His Excellency the Duke. Why, don't you understand his reasoning?"

Ye Jiu didn't know what was going on, but when he thought of what happened to Zhu Zhuqing in his childhood, he couldn't hold back his anger, and he didn't save any face for the Duke of the Empire when he spoke.

The Duke of Nether himself didn't have any special emotions, and said indifferently: "I see, your reasoning is very convincing! So are you here to demonstrate?"

Ye Jiu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed that he didn't see Duke Nether's distraught look, but Ye Jiu also knew what kind of person this Duke Nether was.

So Ye Jiu also gave up the idea of ​​continuing provocation, and said: "Zhuqing has already said that she only hopes that the Duke of Nether's mansion will not disturb her anymore, so naturally it can't be called a demonstration!"

The Duke of Nether said coldly: "Excuse me? Is the glory of the family just a burden to her?
She defeated her sister, so naturally she should get the spoils she deserved.So her best destiny in the future is to marry the future emperor of the Star Luo Empire and become the queen of the next generation.Enjoy the glory of the entire empire. "

Ye Jiu didn't speak, because Zhu Zhuqing stepped forward and said, "But that's not what I want! I won't marry someone I don't like, and lock myself in that cage called the Imperial Palace for the rest of my life." middle.

Although my sister hates me more, I don't want to step on the blood of my relatives to get your so-called glory. "

The Duke of Nether didn't seem to be as angry as before, and said lightly: "This is what you think now! You are really childish and depraved.

But I will agree to your request. From then on, whether you are good or bad, it has nothing to do with the family! "

After thinking about it, the Duke of Nether continued: "As a father, I will give you one last lesson before you leave!

Why do you think I let you do whatever you want? It's not because the people behind you have a lot of power.

Strength is the foundation of everything, without strength, one can do everything, and one can only accept the mercy of others.

And no matter how strong the person you rely on is not your own strength.You can only rely on your own strength in the end.So as long as you are still pursuing what you call freedom then get strong. "

Zhu Zhuqing understood that, as his father, Duke Nether really meant what he said.It is based on his previous worldview and life experience.

But even so, Zhu Zhuqing did not agree.The experience in Huangzong told her that it is right to pursue power, but being full of power will only lead to loss.

But she didn't refute, after all, that was the only hint of fatherly love that the Duke of Nether showed.Let her know that this father's blood is not completely cold, nor does he treat her only as a tool.

Taking one last look at Duke Nether, Zhu Zhuqing turned around and left without hesitation.Ye Jiu quickly followed, and the two walked out of the duke's mansion together.

In the end, he left the family, although he completely let go of the shackles, but he was somewhat disappointed.

Ye Jiu felt distressed when he saw it, and he reached out and grabbed Zhu Zhuqing's little hand and said, "Don't be so sad, I heard that there is a celebration in Xingluo City recently, let's join in the fun before we leave!"

Zhu Zhuqing's face turned red, and he couldn't help showing a smile when he saw the hands held together by the two.
