Douluo: Reborn Xue Ke, determined to protect Qian Renxue

Xue Ke waved his hand: "That's not true. Since Sister Xue you want to visit, then come over."

Xue Ke left a note for Bibi Dong and took Qian Renxue out of the Dao Demon Space.

Qian Renxue found that she and Xue Ke were on a large bed. Even if seven or eight people lay on this bed at the same time, there was still a lot of room for movement, and she suddenly felt suspicious.

"Xiao Ke, you sleep alone. Why did you make the bed so big? Are you planning to practice on it?"

Looking at Qian Renxue's doubtful eyes, Xue Ke lowered her head guiltily, not daring to look at her.

Qian Renxue looked around and looked at Xueke's room carefully.

At this moment, in the huge room, there was only one soul-guiding lamp that gave off a weak light. The other soul-guiding lamps were not turned on, because Xue Ke didn’t like too bright an environment when she was alone in the room at night, so she only turned on one. lamp.

Xue Ke raised her head slightly, and the dim light outlined the right half of Qian Renxue's body, while the left half was hidden in the shadows, making her exquisite and convex figure more three-dimensional.

Qian Renxue Rulan's body and hair fragrance rushed into her nose, Xue Ke's heart swayed, her heart jumped, a wave of hot blood surged into her heart, her brown eyes burned like a torch, and the burning heat came from Xue Ke exuded it.

Qian Renxue noticed Xue Ke's abnormality and asked doubtfully: "Xiao Ke, what's wrong with you?"

Xue Ke was breathing heavily, her heart was burning like fire, her eyes turned red, and her state was very wrong.

At this moment, Xue Ke was like a predatory beast, eager to knock down its prey.

Xue Ke bit the tip of her tongue. The stinging pain restored some clarity to her mind, and she quickly started running the Sunflower Book to suppress the desire rising in her heart.

Qian Renxue held Xue Ke's little hand and transferred her spiritual energy into Xue Ke's body.

After burning the incense, Xue Ke took a deep breath, and her mood completely stabilized.

"Xiao Ke, what happened to you just now? Is there something wrong with your cultivation?" Qian Renxue asked with concern.

Xue Ke narrowed his eyes slightly, thought about it carefully, and quickly figured out the reason.

"It's the realm of the God of Death."

Then, Xue Ke told Qian Renxue everything about her battle with the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger in the Star Dou Forest and the side effects of the Killing God Realm.

"I thought that as long as I didn't use the God of Killing Domain, it wouldn't be able to affect my mind. But just now, the God of Killing Domain infinitely amplified the desires in my heart, making me almost lose control. If it weren't for the Kuicao Book, I would really No idea what stupid thing I might do."

Qian Renxue said worriedly: "Xiao Ke, have you thought of a solution?"

Xue Ke shook his head: "I can't think of a solution for the moment. After all, the realm of the God of Killing comes from the Hell Road of the City of Killing, and the City of Killing is the inheritance place of God Shura. I guess it is God Shura who has a grudge against me and wants to You want to destroy me through the God of Death realm and turn me into a beast dominated by desire."

"Then what should we do?" Qian Renxue held Xue Ke's little hand tightly.

Xue Ke patted Qian Renxue on the shoulder: "The boat will straighten out when it reaches the bridge. There will always be a solution. I have a strong hunch that as long as I break through level 70, I will be able to open up the mysterious truth in the Dao Demon Space. The Gate of Truth, maybe the Gate of Truth can help me get rid of the influence of God Shura."

The Gate of Truth could defeat Tang San's Shura power with just a trace of Origin Qi. Xueke was confident that there must be a solution in the Gate of Truth.

Xue Ke is now level 68. With the help of Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, he will be able to break through to level 70 in more than a month. Perhaps all the problems will be solved by then.

"Sister Xue, let me show you the beautiful scenery of Tianxue City."

Qian Renxue nodded, and the two held hands and flew out of Prince Jade's Mansion quietly.

The two of them flew over Tianxue City, overlooking the city.

Under the exploration of spiritual power, Qian Renxue discovered that there were many secret guards hidden in Tianxue City to maintain order.Although it is midnight now, nothing unusual happens in the city, and the residents in the city are keeping to themselves.

"Xiao Ke, I didn't expect you to be able to manage Tianxue City in an orderly manner." Qian Renxue praised.

Xue Ke smiled slightly, if he couldn't manage the small Tianxue City well, how could he manage the huge country of the Tiandou Empire.

Xue Ke took Qian Renxue and flew to the countryside on the outskirts of the city. A flash of white had already lit up from the east, and it was not far from dawn.

"Sister Xue, that is Wei Xi's home. And there, there is the market. The villagers go there every once in a while to go to the market. And..."

Xue Ke introduced everything to Qian Renxue, and Qian Renxue became more and more impressed when she saw that Xue Ke knew the situation in Tianxue City very well.

Unknowingly, it was already broad daylight, and Xue Ke took Qian Renxue to a small waterfall in a valley on the outskirts of the city.

In the world of Douluo Continent, there is a wonderland everywhere. In front of you are rare and wonderful sights. There are beautiful peaks in the valley, all kinds of things, strange and strange rocks, six scenery of clear water, waterfalls and colorful pools, all natural, and the water moves and the rocks change. , intertwined with white colors in the sun, making people never get tired of looking at it.

Xue Ke and Qian Renxue sat by such a pool, listening to the sweet sound of the waterfall pouring into the clear pool, admiring the green bamboos and trees on the shore, the rippling waves, the beautiful water, full of vitality and prosperity in early spring, Xue Ke He Qian Renxue couldn't help but feel relaxed and happy.

Xue Ke's thoughts fluctuate. Is civilization a good thing or a bad thing?

The rapid development of Blue Star Technology must be a result of human beings constraining themselves and constantly destroying the beautiful nature.If anyone from Blue Star could come to Douluo Continent like her, they would be moved by the beautiful nature here.

"Xiao Ke, as long as I am with you, no matter where I am, I will be happy." Qian Renxue looked at Xue Ke, her golden eyes filled with brilliance.

Xue Ke smiled slightly and said: "If you have achieved success, why should you die? I would like to be a mandarin duck and not envy the immortals."

Xue Ke took out two bottles of wine and started drinking with Qian Renxue. After a while, the melodious sound of flute and piano echoed in the valley. It was Xue Ke and Qian Renxue who were playing.

It is better to drink wine and grow old together with your son.With the harp and harp at your disposal, it’s best to be quiet.

……

After bidding farewell to Qian Renxue, Xue Ke returned to the Prince's Mansion and continued to live his own small life, handling some government affairs every day, giving guidance on the training of the soldiers, playing with Wei Xi, practicing...

However, not long after the peaceful life, Xue Ye's will was conveyed through the secret guard.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty has a decree to call you back to Tiandou City immediately." Zhang Tianlin said.

"Did Father tell me what happened?" Xue Ke asked.

"Your Majesty did not express it clearly."

Xue Ke sighed in his heart. It seemed that his plan to go to Leite City would be put on hold for the time being.

Xueke left Tianxue City's affairs to Zhang Tianlin, and after briefly explaining the matter to him, he packed up and headed to Tiandou City.

With a "transportation vehicle" like Xue Aotian, Xue Ke naturally does not need to take a carriage.In just two days, Xue Ke arrived in Tiandou City.

The streets of Tiandou City were a little more lively than before. There were many pedestrians, many of whom were businessmen from other cities.Looking at this peaceful and peaceful scene, Xue Ke couldn't help but sigh. She remembered that she had just traveled to Douluo Continent 10 years ago. The road ahead was uncertain and many things had to be decided by herself. Now the situation is very different, and she couldn't help but have mixed feelings in her heart. .

Xue Ke suddenly had an unreal feeling. Everything in front of him was like a castle built on the beach. If a wave comes, it may disappear without leaving a trace.In fact, the entire country also fits this metaphor, and the feeling of a big dream came to Xue Ke's heart again.

Why does life always feel like a hazy dream? Only in some special moments, such as in the shadow of swords, or when interacting passionately with Qian Renxue, can we clearly understand the existence of life.

Xue Ke has become more and more deeply involved in people and emotions. Sadness and joy alternately impact her mood, making Lan Xing's memory even further away from her.Sometimes it is really difficult for Xue Ke to distinguish clearly between Douluo Continent and Blue Star, which one is reality and which one is more like a dream.In other words, human life is originally a big dream, and time is just an illusion.

Xue Ke helplessly slapped his forehead. Since coming out of the Killing City, he has become more and more sentimental.

Walking straight to Prince Jade's Mansion, the guard at the door saw Xue Ke and hurriedly saluted.

Xue Ke came to the spacious courtyard of the Prince's Mansion and found that Bai Chenxiang and Zhu Zhuqing, the two agility and attack type soul masters, were playing a speed game of chasing each other, while Dugu Yan was sitting aside, eating melon seeds. Admiring the graceful grace of the two of them.

Xue Ke smiled slightly and disappeared. The next second, he appeared in front of Bai Chenxiang and Zhu Zhuqing, lifting the two girls up from behind like lifting little chickens.

The melon seeds in Dugu Yan's hand scattered all over the floor. Bai Chenxiang and Zhu Zhuqing turned their heads to look, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they exclaimed at the same time: "Xiao Ke!"

Xueke put the two girls down, and Duguyan came to Xueke with a "swish" and gave Xueke a loving hug without any explanation. Xueke almost suffocated due to Duguyan's fiery enthusiasm.

The four women held hands and sat down in the pavilion next to them, talking about their experiences in the past two years.

Xue Ke learned from the girls that Dugu Yan was currently close to level 60, and Bai Chenxiang and Zhu Zhuqing had successfully broken through level 50 not long ago.

When Dugu Yan, Bai Chenxiang and Zhu Zhuqing heard about Xue Ke's colorful experience, they all sighed.

"Xiao Ke, I don't care. No matter where you go in the future, you must take me with you. I will pester you from now on." Dugu Yan held Xue Ke's hand tightly.

Bai Chenxiang also held Xue Ke's hand: "And me!"

"And I!"

Zhu Zhuqing still looks cold on the outside, but everyone who knows her knows how hot she is inside.

Xue Ke quickly responded: "Okay, okay, as long as you are not afraid of danger, come and go out with me. You always stay in the comfortable environment of Tiandou City. Although your cultivation is improving very quickly, you still lack the real Experience, and now I am confident that I can protect you."

Dugu Yan said excitedly: "The five of us will go out together and make a name for ourselves on the mainland! I just don't know how the world will name us in the future."

Zhu Zhuqing lowered his head and said, "It's a pity that Lingling is not here. I don't know where she is now."

After Xue Ke and the girls had a meal, the four of them had a friendly discussion. Naturally, Dugu Yan and the other three were no match for Xue Ke and were defeated one after another.

After the battle, all the girls were dripping with sweat. Ignoring Xue Ke's refusal, Dugu Yan and the other three carried Xue Ke to the bathroom. The four girls entered the misty bath together. Then the situation was nothing special. Humane.

……

After the morning session the next day, Xue Ke entered the palace. Xue Ye summoned Xue Ke into the study. Only Xue Ye and Xue Ke and his daughter were in the study. Even Su Pei was not allowed to be present.

Xue Ye looked at the slim and well-organized Xue Ke in front of her, with a trace of confusion flashing in her eyes.After not seeing Xue Ke for nearly two years, Xue Ye noticed that there were changes in Xue Ke that he didn't know about. He was afraid that his daughter had grown into an eagle that could stand alone.

"Xiao Ke has grown up, but his father is already old." Xue Ye suddenly said this.

Xue Ke took Xue Ye's wrinkled hand: "My father is not old at all. In my heart, my father is always young."

Xue Ye pulled Xue Ke to sit down, her eyes full of complexity, and for a moment, she couldn't say what she wanted to say.

"Father, if you have anything to say, just say it." Xue Ke gently patted Xue Ye's shoulder.

Xue Ye sighed: "It's not an important thing for my father to call you back this time. Now you are nearly 17 years old. In ordinary people's families, most girls of this age are already married. Father. The emperor wants to ask you, do you have anyone you like now? The emperor can act as a matchmaker for you and even arrange your marriage himself."

After hearing Xue Ye's words, Xue Ke was slightly startled. Xue Ye called herself all the way back just for this kind of thing?

"Father, you also know that my son's thoughts have never been on his children's personal relationship. He is busy practicing all day long. After he went to Tianxue City, there were more and more trivial matters, and he had no time to talk about love. Marriage is a major matter , I haven’t thought about it for the time being. Father, you summoned me back just for this trivial matter?" Xue Ke asked doubtfully.

Xue Ye said slightly reproachfully: "How can your marriage be considered a trivial matter? As the Jade Prince of our Tiandou Empire, you are a peerless genius in terms of soul master talent. Your marriage will directly affect our Tiandou Empire." The situation in the empire is not a trivial matter. If you are not nervous yourself, then my father will pay more attention to it for you."

Xue Ke said anxiously: "Father, this matter is not urgent for the time being. I don't want to get married so early. The current situation is serious, and I don't want to be delayed in my cultivation by my children's personal affairs and trivial family matters."

Xue Ke's attitude aroused Xue Ye's doubts, and then he thought of Xue Qinghe, so he asked: "Do you know about Qinghe's poisoning? After this incident, Qinghe can no longer continue to have children for the royal family."

Xue Ke pretended to be surprised and said: "What! Such a thing could happen!"

Xue Ye carefully observed Xue Ke's reaction, and saw that although Xue Ke had a surprised look on his face, his eyes did not change much, and the doubts in his heart became more intense.

"There are only two of you and me here right now. Tell me honestly, are you..."

Xue Ye made gestures on Xue Ke's little hand. Xue Ke's pupils suddenly dilated, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes. Although it was only for a moment, Xue Ye still caught it.

"Okay, you don't need to say anything, I understand everything."

Xue Ye let go of Xue Ke's hand. Before, Xue Ye thought it was just Xue Qinghe's wishful thinking, but now judging from Xue Ke's reaction, Xue Ye now knew that this was not one-sided.

Xue Ye closed her eyes in pain. What evil had he done?

Xue Ye could tolerate Xue Qinghe poisoning the second and third princes one after another, and could tolerate him suppressing Xue Xing and Xue Beng, but Xue Ye would never tolerate this kind of thing. It was related to the dignity of the royal family, and Xue Ye didn't want Tiandou to do so. The royal family was ridiculed by the outside world, and did not want to see Xue Ke and Xue Qinghe become "eternal legends" in everyone's mouth.

Seeing that Xue Ye had obviously guessed something, Xue Ke lowered his head and remained silent.

Xue Ye sighed deeply: "Now that you and Qinghe's wings are hardened, I know I can't control you, but you two brothers and sisters must restrain yourselves and never do anything that will harm the royal family's face, let alone Don't let me hear any gossip about you."

Immediately afterwards, Xue Ye changed the subject: "Xiao Ke, your soul master talent is powerful, and you have awakened the Jade Swan, an unprecedented martial spirit in our Tiandou royal family. I hope that starting from you, our Tiandou royal family can use the Jade Swan as a martial art." The souls will be passed on, so that our royal family will have a steady stream of talented soul masters, and our Tiandou Empire will become stronger. Your marriage is a state matter, and I hope you will put the overall situation first. Do you understand what I mean?"

After hearing Xue Ye's words, Xue Ke's heart suddenly went cold. What exactly am I in your heart? Am I a tool to carry on the family line, a political bargaining chip, or an ornament for the Tiandou royal family?

Xueke's eyes turned cold. The most ruthless emperor's family, she really experienced it personally today.

Seeing that Xue Ke was silent and his eyes turned cold, Xue Ye obviously had no intention of acting according to his wishes. In the future, let Qinghe make your child the heir to the throne, or I will abolish Qinghe and make you the heir to the throne."

Xue Ke suddenly stood up and said angrily: "Father, if you do this, where will your brother be put, and where will you put me? Brother Emperor has worked hard for the country for many years, but what he got in exchange is the ruthlessness of his father." Abandoned?"

"Father, I don't want to choose either. I just want to tell you that if you abolish your brother's position as crown prince, then I will take him away and leave the Tiandou Empire completely. If you force me to marry, No matter who you choose, come and I will kill each one, I will do what I say!"

At the end of the sentence, a fierce murderous aura was released from Xue Ke, and the entire study suddenly became cold.

Xue Ye broke out in a cold sweat. At this moment, Xue Ke was like a wild beast that chose people to devour, and might explode at any time.

Xue Ke took several deep breaths in succession, her chest heaving violently, she calmed down a little, sat down again, and took a sip of tea.

"Father, I'm sorry. I just came out of the killing city not long ago, and my character has not fully recovered. I just disturbed my father. Please forgive me."

Xue Ye felt that his palms were wet with cold sweat. He never expected that Xue Ke would have such a violent reaction and dare to openly defy his wishes.

Xue Ye felt a deep sense of powerlessness in her heart and sighed: "At this moment, I personally realized that Xue Ke, who only acted coquettishly and teased me in front of my father, has disappeared, and was replaced by the decisive and decisive Prince Jade. Since you don't want to, I don't want to force you, and I can't force you, so just do whatever you love, brother and sister."

Seeing Xue Ye's dejected look, Xue Ke felt a twinge of guilt in her heart, but her anger remained.

Xue Ye's words today deeply hurt her. Starting from today, cracks have appeared in the relationship between father and daughter for more than ten years.

"Father, if there is nothing wrong with you, I will leave first."

Xue Ke said dejectedly: "Go."

Xue Ke strode out of the study and said to the palace maid beside her: "Get the car ready, I'm going to the Prince's Mansion."

After a while, Xue Ke arrived at the Prince's Mansion and went straight to Xue Qinghe's study. He didn't find Xue Qinghe. Xue Ke patted his head. I forgot about it, I was really confused.

Arriving at the door of Xue Qinghe's dormitory, Xue Ke knocked on the door: "Brother Huang, I am Xiao Ke. Is it convenient for me to come in?"

Xue Qinghe's elegant voice came from inside: "Xiao Ke, come in."

Xue Ke pushed the door open and found Xue Qinghe sitting on the bed practicing, while Su Jingwen was sitting aside reading a book.

After Xue Ke closed the door, Xue Qinghe got out of bed and asked doubtfully: "Xiao Ke, you don't seem to be in a good mood. What happened?"

Xue Ke repeated Xue Ye's words to Xue Qinghe, and Su Jingwen on the side also closed the book and listened to Xue Ke's words.

Xue Qinghe sighed: "Xiao Ke, you don't have to be so angry. As the king of a country, Xue Ye is now in his twilight years. His ways of doing things and speaking may be a little more direct, but he still loves and protects you. Yes. It’s precisely because he loves you too much and doesn’t want to delay your life. He wants to cut through the mess quickly and completely end the relationship between us that he guessed, so he said these words today.”

After listening to Xue Qinghe's words, Xue Ke thought carefully and realized that this was indeed the case.

Xue Qinghe smiled and said: "Xiao Ke, you can definitely agree to Xue Ye's second choice today, so won't I be able to retire with success?"

Xue Ke rolled his eyes at Xue Qinghe: "Sister Xue, I didn't think so much at the time. I was just angry that he forced me to get married, and he used you to blackmail me."

Su Jingwen interrupted: "From the second choice, we can see that His Majesty has actually changed his mind."

Xue Ke rolled his eyes and thought of the crux of the problem.

"You mean that my father has changed his mind and included me in the consideration of the successor to the throne?"

Su Jingwen nodded: "Yes, this is a good thing for you and His Highness. Since Your Majesty has such intention, the resistance to your ascending to the throne in the future will be even smaller."

Xue Qinghe patted Xue Ke's shoulder and pulled her to sit down together.

Xue Ke held Xue Qinghe's hand, her eyes a little complicated.

"Sister Xue, the most important time I have to spend now is training. Although Tang San has temporarily stayed in the Killing City, there is no guarantee that there will be no changes in the future, and our enemies are still there. Even if he wants to inherit the throne, You have to wait until I break through the Title Douluo. Therefore, from now on, I still have to ask you to stabilize the situation in the Tiandou Empire for me for the time being."

Xue Qinghe smiled and patted Xue Ke's hand: "You don't have to blame yourself, I did this for you willingly. If you don't understand anything about political affairs in the future, if I'm not here, you can ask Jingwen .”

Xue Ke glanced at Su Jingwen in surprise, and Su Jingwen smiled back.

"Sister-in-law, I didn't expect you to have such ability! It seems that Sister Xue really married the wrong person!" Xue Ke teased.

Xue Qinghe gave Xue Ke a violent shudder on the head, and Xue Ke pretended to be in pain and hummed.

Su Jingwen whispered sweetly: "It's a pity that His Highness the Crown Prince only saw my ability but not my beauty, and made me stay alone in my empty house for so many years."

Xue Qinghe gave Xue Ke another violent shock, and Xue Ke said innocently: "Sister Xue, why are you knocking me? I didn't say it!"

"It's not like you taught Jingwen bad, and now you've actually joined forces to tease me, right?" Xue Qinghe said dissatisfied.

Xue Ke touched the place where he was attacked, his face full of innocence.

"Sister-in-law, since Sister Xue admires you so much, I want to give you a test. What do you think is the biggest shortcoming of the Tiandou Empire now?"

Su Jingwen said: "I think the biggest shortcoming of the Tiandou Empire now is that the centralized power is too weak and the local separatist forces are too strong. Although the kingdoms and principalities in various places are nominally affiliated with the Tiandou Empire, they actually have troops. Respect yourself, the local nobles maintain a large number of private soldiers, and there is a possibility of rebellion at any time."

"Based on the above situation, in peacetime, the Tiandou Empire is extremely prone to civil strife; in war years, the Tiandou Empire is extremely easy to be disintegrated by enemies from within. The best example is my father Su Zhongwen. So far, I think Tiandou Empire There must be many nobles in the empire who have quietly moved to Wuhun Palace, I am right, my prince."

Xue Qinghe nodded and gave Su Jingwen a positive answer.

Xue Ke clapped her palms: "So, how does the Queen's Wife think this problem should be solved?"

Xue Ke just asked casually, not thinking that Su Jingwen could answer it or come up with any good countermeasures, but what Su Jingwen said next shocked Xue Ke.

"My countermeasure is to gradually weaken the power of the nobles through continuous enfeoffment. In the past selection of successors, each noble prefers to choose the eldest son to inherit the title, and only in extremely special circumstances will the bastard be chosen. In this way , the power of these nobles was concentrated in the hands of the eldest son, and the land and military power in his hands fell into the hands of the eldest son. "

"We can introduce a new enfeoffment system, which stipulates that no matter who inherits the title, the other princes have the right to divide part of the land and military power, split the soil into knights, and obtain their own titles and fiefs. After the nobles reported to the court, , you can entrust the land of the kingdom to your children on your own, and with the consent of the court, you can also issue titles to your children on your own."

"In this way, the land and military power of each principality and kingdom will be continuously divided, like a big cake being divided into smaller and smaller pieces. After three generations, the power of these principalities and kingdoms will only become weaker and weaker. By that time, It is simply an easy task for the Tiandou royal family to conquer these scattered nobles."

Su Jingwen took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, while Xue Ke and Xue Qinghe looked confused.

Especially Xue Ke, she seemed to have seen Su Jingwen's method in some book.

Xueke slapped her thigh, and she finally remembered. Isn't this the method of Liu Che's boss in Blue Star's history textbook?

Could it be that Su Jingwen, like her, is also a time traveler from Blue Star?

Xue Ke asked tentatively: "Potassium, calcium, sodium, magnesium and aluminum?"

Su Jingwen was confused: "Xiao Ke, what nonsense are you talking about? Which beauty do you want to marry?"

Xue Ke then asked: "Odd changes to even, does it stay the same?"

Su Jingwen asked: "What does this chicken have to do with lotus root?"

Xue Ke asked the last question: "Do you also come from the earth?"

Su Jingwen:? ? ?

Xue Qinghe looked at Su Jingwen and then at Xue Ke.

"Xiao Ke, why can't I understand a word you say? What exactly do you want to ask?"

Xue Ke helplessly spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders.

"Nothing, just pretend I didn't ask."

It seemed that Su Jingwen was a native of Douluo Continent, which proved her suspicion wrong, and Xue Ke felt a little disappointed.

"Xiao Ke, how long do you plan to stay when you return to Tiandou City this time?" Xue Qinghe asked.

"I'll be leaving in three days. I want to go to Liet City and visit my good brother Feng Xiaotian."

"So fast! You are going out alone, so be careful on the road."

Xue Qinghe held up Xue Ke's pretty chin with his right hand. Xue Ke lowered her long eyelashes, half-covering her beautiful eyes, and gently nodded in agreement to Xue Qinghe's hand. Xue Ke's girlish demeanor made Xue Qinghe's heart The flag swayed.

Su Jingwen on the side looked at the two people in a daze, feeling like she was an outsider.

Xue Ke stood up and said to Su Jingwen: "Sister-in-law, when I become the emperor of the Tiandou Empire, I will make you prime minister and let you show your ambition."

Su Jingwen's eyes lit up: "Thank you very much!"

Xue Ke smiled slightly and then left the Prince's Mansion.

……

Heaven Dou City, Prince Xuexing's Mansion.

Xuexing left the bed, and there was a leopard girl lying on the brocade quilt, covered with bruises, lying on the bed cold and lifeless, the blood seeping from her eyes solidified and turned black.The fatal thing was the red rope wrapped around her beautiful snow-white neck. It was deeply embedded in her neck, leaving a mess underneath.

This leopard girl was tortured and killed by Xuexing in the most humiliating and cruel way.

Xuexing walked out of the room with a happy face and ordered his servants to take the body away.

A subordinate came to Xue Xing and said something in Xue Xing's ear. Xue Xing's expression changed and he said to his subordinate: "Ask Xue Beng to come see me."

At this moment, Xue Beng and his brother Ma Hongjun were having a fierce "match" in Zuihua Tower. They were suddenly stopped by Xuexing's people, and Xue Beng reluctantly came to Prince Xuexing's mansion.

"Uncle, do you have anything important to do with me?"

When Xue Xing saw Xue Beng's drunken look, he became furious and slapped Xue Beng hard.

"Xue Beng, I told you to pretend to be a dandy, not to make you a real dandy. If you continue like this, you don't have to fight for the throne. Wouldn't it be better to just give it to Xue Qinghe?"

Xue Beng covered his swollen face with an aggrieved look and whispered, "This is not all because of you."

Xuexing snorted coldly, and then said: "Do you know that His Majesty has urgently summoned Prince Jade back to Tiandou City."

Xue Beng looked indifferent: "I know, so what?"

Xue Xing said in a deep voice: "I just received a report from the spies in the palace. His Majesty actually went to the internal prison to get information about the children of various princes and nobles. It seems that he is choosing a son-in-law. I'm afraid that your Majesty came back this time to give Xue Ke a gift for her. Arrange a marriage.”

Xue Beng was not stupid either. He understood what Xue Xing wanted to discuss when he called him here.

"Since Xue Ke led the Tiandou Royal Academy to win the championship in the elite competition of the continent's advanced soul master colleges, and then was awarded the title of Prince Jade, his status today is not what it used to be, and he has gradually become a hot figure in the court, and he is even more... Having the title is the best hope for our Tiandou royal family to fight against foreign enemies. I also heard that His Majesty has handed over the secret guards to her, and the power in her hands is increasing day by day. I believe that Your Majesty will give her more rights in the future. "

"If we can win over Xue Ke and let her support you, it will be tantamount to breaking Xue Qinghe's right-hand man. By then, the position of crown prince may not be difficult for you."

After listening to Xue Xing's words, Xue Beng fell into deep thought.

"Uncle, although your idea is good, you also know that Xue Ke and Xue Qinghe have been very close since childhood, but they are very distant from me. It is really difficult for us to get Xue Ke to support us."

Xue Xing showed a meaningful smile: "If we tell Xue Ke about Xue Qinghe poisoning the second and third princes and reveal Xue Qinghe's ugly face, I believe Xue Ke's view of Xue Qinghe will definitely change. "

"Besides, isn't His Majesty arranging a marriage for Xue Ke? We can recommend one of our own to come there. As the saying goes, obey your husband when you marry. As long as Xue Ke marries one of our own, are we still afraid that she won't support us?"

Xue Beng's eyes lit up and he praised: "Uncle, you still have a way. But Xue Ke has high eyes, so I'm afraid she won't fall in love with an ordinary man easily."

"As for the candidates, I will carefully select them. Once His Majesty chooses our people, I believe that the marriage will most likely be successful."

Xue Beng wondered: "Why is uncle so sure?"

The corner of Xue Xing's mouth raised: "Your Majesty is my brother, don't I understand a little bit about his thoughts? Xue Ke has awakened the powerful Jade Swan Martial Spirit, and His Majesty naturally wants to pass on this Martial Spirit to grow stronger. That’s why I, the Tiandou royal family, plan to grant Xue Ke a marriage, otherwise he wouldn’t have let Xue Ke come all the way back.”

Xue Beng praised: "Uncle, my nephew is far behind you in terms of his ability to discern people's hearts. It seems that uncle is already confident."

Xue Xing's face darkened: "Although the possibility of our plan succeeding is very high, you must not lose your fighting spirit because of this. Instead, you must go further. Once Xue Ke's marriage is finalized and you support us, that is When we launch an attack on Xue Qinghe, you will no longer have to disguise yourself and can compete with Xue Qinghe openly."

Xue Beng clenched his fists, looking forward to a better future. He had been suppressed by Xue Qinghe for so long, and this time he finally had a chance to stand up.

……

After Xue Ke returned to the Prince's Mansion, he had a heated discussion with Dugu Yan, Bai Chenxiang and Zhu Zhuqing as usual, but two uninvited guests came.

Xue Ke withdrew his martial spirit and looked at Xue Xing and Xue Beng in confusion.

"Uncle, brother emperor, why are you here?"

Xue Beng's eyes swept over Dugu Yan, Bai Chenxiang and Zhu Zhuqing one by one, and then he said to Xue Ke, "Xiao Ke, why don't you invite us to sit down?"

Seeing these two people, Xue Ke lost all good intentions, but he still had to do some superficial work.

Xue Ke brought Xue Xing and Xue Beng to the living room.

Xuexing said: "What we are going to say next is very important. It is best not to have outsiders present."

Xue Ke waved away the maid and looked at Xuexing quietly, waiting for him to speak.

Xue Xing cleared his throat: "Xiao Ke, do you know what kind of person your imperial brother Xue Qinghe is?"

Xue Ke sneered, it turned out that these two people were here to sow discord.

"Of course I know what kind of person the emperor is. If uncle has anything to say, I can say it directly without beating around the bush. There are no outsiders here."

Xuexing sighed deliberately: "Xiao Ke, it seems that you don't know the true face of Xue Qinghe. Do you know, in fact, your second and third emperor brothers were poisoned by him, if it weren't for my name Xue Beng Even if he pretends to be a dandy, he may not be able to escape Xue Qinghe's vicious hands."

"Although he looks virtuous all day long, in fact this is just a disguise. Xue Qinghe is actually a cruel hypocrite."

I thought Xue Ke would be shocked and disappointed with Xue Qinghe after hearing this, but Xue Ke's expression remained very calm.

"I know, so what?" Xue Ke asked.

This time it was Xuexing's turn.

"Your second and third emperor brothers both died because of him. Aren't you angry?"

Xueke smiled slightly: "Isn't this kind of thing normal in the royal family? Didn't my father successfully ascend to the throne through such means? This does not affect my feelings for the emperor. Uncle, don't It’s all wasted effort.”

Snowstar and Avalanche looked at each other.

Xuexing continued: "In this case, uncle will not say more, lest you mistakenly think that I am driving a wedge between you two brothers and sisters. In addition to this matter, uncle also wants to ask you, you are now nearly 17 You're old, do you have someone you like?"

Xue Ke's head is full of black lines. Why are these people so concerned about their marriages recently?

"Uncle, I have been busy practicing and have not thought about my life-long events. Father also asked me for my opinion, and I answered the same way."

Xue Xing pretended to be concerned and said: "Xiao Ke, as the most noble princess of our Tiandou Empire and the Jade Prince personally named by His Majesty, how can you not pay attention to your own marriage? I just learned that Your Majesty has already We have found information about the children of various princes and nobles and are selecting a husband for you! If you have someone you like, be sure to tell your uncle so he can check it for you."

Xue Ke felt very helpless. This snowy night was really terrible, yet she still refused to give up.

"Thank you for your concern, uncle. I will take care of my own affairs. Uncle is no longer worried."

Xuexing's hot face touched her cold butt, and she laughed awkwardly: "In this case, uncle will not say any more, and I will leave now."

Xue Ke had no intention of holding back, and made a gesture of invitation: "Uncle and brother, please come back."

ps: Many people once said that I am short. Now I ask you, am I tall?
