Douluo: Xin Shu

Chapter 189

To be repaired...

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this palace coup initiated by the former Crown Prince Xue Qinghe has nothing to do with Ning Fengzhi.

However, in the eyes of some people, this is not the case.

The prince's tutor is the prince's martial arts teacher.

Even if Xue Qinghe was impersonated by Qian Renxue, Ning Fengzhi had indeed been his teacher for more than ten years.

The teacher-student relationship for so many years is to be ended right away?

Avalanche was quite skeptical about this.

In his opinion, Ning Fengzhi's righteous act of killing relatives was completely unnecessary, right?
To a certain extent, isn't Xue Qinghe's position the same as Ning Fengzhi's?
Good guy, it's hard for Xue Beng to believe that the other party, who was supposed to be a grasshopper on the same tree as "Xue Qinghe", could do such a thankless thing so decisively.

What is the purpose of the other party's behavior?

In fact, it is not only Xue Beng, the newly crowned prince who has been practicing the emperor's mind skills since childhood, who can't figure it out. Even Xue Ye, who is currently sitting in the top position and is still the emperor of Tiandou, is also doubtful and puzzled at this moment.

"See Your Majesty."

Although, the three of them are soul masters.

However, even if a soul master is extremely noble compared to ordinary people, it is difficult to despise the "imperial power".

The proper etiquette should still be in place.

"You three don't have to be polite, sit down and talk slowly.

Speaking of which, without your help, once Wuhundian's conspiracy succeeds, I can't imagine what the empire will become and how the situation on the mainland will suddenly change. "

Yes, if Qian Renxue's plan comes true, it will be true that the Tiandou Empire will be annexed without a single blow, and the Wuhun Palace will surely rise as a result.

The consequences are unimaginable.

"Time flies by so quickly. It seems that not long ago, you represented the empire and went to Wuhun City to participate in the finals of the "Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition."

Now, they are all able to stand alone. "

Yes, whether it is the other party's identity as "the master of a sect" or his cultivation that is close to that of a soul saint, it is enough to prove this.

"Tang San, I remember that I awarded you the title of 'Viscount' at the award ceremony of the preliminaries.

Gu also said that the knighthoods obtained by the top three teams in the promotion competition can be further improved.

Back then, you not only won the first place in the promotion competition, but also won the championship in the finals.

At that time, if it weren't for the fact that none of you could rush back to Tiandou City, this matter would not have been abandoned. "

The implication is that your kid is back, now you can't hide, right?

Yes, Emperor Xueye knew that Tang San and others had no intention of getting too involved with the royal family.

With the status of soul masters on the Douluo Continent, it is difficult for anyone to willingly tie themselves up in a cocoon and draw the earth as a prison.

But what can he do.

Although it is "the power of kings is given by heaven", they must have sufficient strength to avoid the danger of destroying the country.

"Your Highness, let's just say goodbye."

After bidding farewell to Emperor Xueye and arriving at the entrance of Tiandou Palace, Tang San stopped the newly-promoted prince who insisted on seeing them off.

Further outside, it's not so safe.

Although Xue Beng's current status is extremely noble and he is the Prince of Tiandou, his strength is extremely average and can only reach the Soul Sect realm.

If anything goes wrong at this time, Emperor Xueye may have no choice but to make Princess Xueke his heir apparent.

To elaborate, this is not impossible.

But, if things really turn out like that. Both Emperor Xueye and the subjects of the Tiandou Empire would probably have some complaints.

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect?
Just as Xue Beng had guessed before, Ning Fengzhi had actually been "Xue Qinghe's" teacher for more than ten years.

Even if "Xue Qinghe" was faked by someone else, he was really Ning Fengzhi's apprentice. How could he not have any feelings for him at all.

Therefore, one can imagine Ning Fengzhi's mood at the moment when the true identity of "Xue Qinghe" was revealed.

Therefore, after leaving Tiandou Palace, Ning Xinli followed Ning Fengzhi and her two grandfathers back to Qibao City. Tang San, on the other hand, went to Shrek Academy alone and told his father, teachers and friends what happened.

Ning Fengzhi's "Prince Taifu" was a close official of Xue Qinghe, the "former prince".

Now that Emperor Xueye has newly appointed the fourth prince Xue Beng as the "Prince", of course he has resigned from his post and is now "without an official position". From now on, he will only be the sect leader of the "Seven Treasures Glazed Sect", the second of the three sects.

It should be said or not, this is a good thing, but it is not entirely a good thing.

Once upon a time, he was a minister of Emperor Xueye and a nobleman of the Tiandou Empire. Therefore, their Qibao Glazed Sect business will have many conveniences that ordinary businessmen do not have (for example, any business will be exempted from tax).

This is what "government and business are integrated, one family is two systems".

From now on, Ning Fengzhi will be just a merchant soul master, no longer a noble of the Tiandou Empire, but just a commoner.

There are four classes: commoners, nobles, ordinary people, and soul masters.

"Nobles", the highest being the emperors of the two empires of Tiandou and Xingluo, are a symbol of status. The opposite is "civilians".

No longer a noble, of course he is a commoner.

In Douluo Continent, when you reach the age of six, you can participate in the "Martial Spirit Awakening" ceremony.

During the ceremony, those who are qualified to practice soul power are "soul masters", with the lowest being soul warriors and the highest being titled Douluo.

And those who are not qualified to practice soul power are ordinary people.

The so-called soul master subsidy means that "civilians and ordinary people" create wealth for the empire, and the "soul masters and nobles" divide this wealth.

Of course, ordinary people without soul power can also be nobles; similarly, civilians can naturally be powerful soul masters.

The Qibao Glazed Sect, because of Ning Fengzhi's "no official position but a light body", is indeed no longer bound to the Tiandou Empire as required.

However, after that, the more wealth the Qibao Glazed Sect earned, the more it gave to the Tiandou Empire.

Because, the current Qibao Glazed Sect is a soul master force established by "commoners". At best, they are some wealthy civilian soul masters.

If it loses momentum, it will no longer sell as well as before.

If the two sides are too clearly distinguished, who can tell whether "the advantages outweigh the disadvantages" or "the disadvantages outweigh the advantages"? Walking on the road, Tang San integrated this experience and shook his head helplessly. He was still involved with the Tiandou royal family.

to be honest--

Tang San didn't have much favorable impression of Xue Beng.

Not for anything else, just because, whether it is the "former prince" Xue Qinghe or the "new prince" Xue Beng, they both have the idea of ​​"once they are sure that the other party cannot be used for their own purposes, they must do everything possible to destroy them." A principle, a creed, engraved in one's own bones.

Take for example what happened when Xue Beng met Tang San, Ning Xinli and others at Tiandou Royal Academy for the first time.

At that time, Ning Fengzhi had been Xue Qinghe's tutor for many years, and there were two of his daughters in Shrek's team.

He felt that he was inferior to Xue Qinghe in all aspects, so he naturally would not think that he could win over Ning Fengzhi for his own use. Therefore, they chose to take advantage of the situation to force them back from Tiandou Royal Academy.

Loyalty or helping each other, in Tang San's opinion, is something that you and I agree on.

If others don't want it, you want to destroy it? How could there be any truth in this? It was somewhat too overbearing.

But no matter how much Tang San dislikes Xue Beng, he still has to accept the fact that "Shrek Academy is built in the Tian Dou Empire with the hard work of the teachers; at the same time, his Tang Sect will gain a foothold in the Tian Dou Empire."

Xue Beng, the fourth prince of Tian Dou, as the only son of Emperor Xue Ye, was almost certain to take charge of the Tian Dou Empire in the future.

Even for the future of Tang Clan and Shrek Academy, Tang San couldn't act recklessly.

At least, in front of Emperor Xueye and Xue Beng, he had to hide his dislike for Xue Beng so that no one could notice it.

For Tang San, accepting Xue Beng's canonization was just taking advantage of the situation.

Xue Ye's canonization of Tang San - King Lan Hao, also the Crown Prince and Grand Master.

The three masters of the prince are Taishi, Taifu and Taibao.

The Taifu is responsible for tutoring the prince's civil affairs (including how to behave and communicate with his subjects), and the Taibao is responsible for supervising the prince's martial arts (soul power cultivation, physical training, etc.). As for the "grand master", whether it is political science or martial arts, the prince needs to study seriously and follow his example.

Once upon a time, Ning Fengzhi was the "grand tutor" of the late crown prince Xue Qinghe.

Therefore, at that time, Ning Fengzhi was very optimistic about Tang San and built a bridge for the Xueqing River, so that the two of them would meet.

He "recommended" Tang San to Xue Qinghe, and Xue Qinghe accepted the "recommendation" and then completed the meeting with Tang San.

Recommending talents for Xue Qinghe was the responsibility of Ning Fengzhi, the "Prince and Tutor".

Of course, if Xue Qinghe ignored Ning Fengzhi's "recommendation" or "suggestion", there would be nothing the "Prince and Tutor" could do.

In the final analysis, the "Prince and Tutor" only serve as assistants.

Whether the prince will adopt these "suggestions" is something Ning Fengzhi cannot control.

The "Prince and Grand Master" is very different. If he thinks that what the prince does is not feasible, the prince must correct it; the prince must take every opinion he puts forward seriously and must not treat it perfunctorily.

The titles of nobles are divided into six levels, namely king (king, the first level, the highest is emperor), duke, marquis, uncle, son and baron.

King Lan Hao was a king with a different surname, ranking first. In terms of title, it was the best that Xue Ye could give Tang San by wooing him.

Today is February of the year 2651 in the Douluo Calendar, which coincides with the time when the empire distributes annual gifts to nobles and officials.

The annual entitlements of imperial officials have nothing to do with Tang San, because those with titles use the title as a reference to receive the corresponding annual entitlements.

Since April of the year 2645 in the Douluo Calendar, Tang San has been canonized as "Viscount Tiandou". So far, it has been six years (October of 2650 was a five-year appointment, and now it has been four months and it is a new year, but it can also be said that it is still less than six years). He was given 30,000 gold soul coins, a total of 180,000 gold soul coins in six years.

In addition, because it was the year 2651 of the Douluo Calendar, Tang San also received the annual gift from the "Tian Dou King" - 810,000 gold soul coins.

Admittedly, with his status as a soul master on the Douluo Continent, Tang Sanyuan did not need to pay attention to Emperor Xue Ye's canonization. If there is no benefit to such a straightforward attempt to tie oneself up, who would agree to it?
The reason why Tang San agreed to the canonization of Emperor Xue Ye was not because of the false reputation of "King Lan Hao" and "Prince and Grand Master".

Firstly, it was for Shrek Academy and Tang Sect; secondly, it was promised that Xue Ye's canonization would bring him a pretty good reward.

This nearly one million gold soul coins is just a small profit.

The Tang Sect he established was for the business of concealed weapons.

If Tang San was just a commoner, the business done by the forces in his name would only be done secretly. Once it was exposed openly, he would have to pay taxes and fees to the empire. If he were a noble, it would be completely different. The empire would not collect taxes from the nobles, not in any form.

"King nobility", the pinnacle of nobility.

Since Tang San was the "King Lan Hao", the wealth the Tang Sect earned through the hidden weapon business was only theirs and no longer needed to be distributed to any force or person.

……

Qibao City.

Ning Xinli is not as good at comforting and making people happy as her sister.

Therefore, the reason why she went home with Ning Fengzhi and the others was not entirely to take care of Ning Fengzhi's emotions.

But it was to spend more time with them. After that, she and Tang San would travel far away.

As far as the results of the Tiandou Palace Transformation were concerned, Qian Renxue was indeed a loser.

But there is no doubt that as a Soul Saint, she is already extremely powerful, much stronger than most people.

In this battle, she was alone (I'm afraid that Lordiara wasn't here to show off her cuteness. She died after a few flutters. With him or without him, it didn't make much difference. What's funny is that when this person appeared, , even pretending to be a 'savior' coming, just like a clown), and faced six people, Dugu Bo, Gu Rong, Yang Wudi, Ning Xinli, Tang San, and Ning Fengzhi at the same time. Even for the sake of Ning Fengzhi's safety, Gu Rong rarely takes the initiative. But if it were an ordinary soul saint, they would have been defeated by their combined efforts early on.

However, Qian Renxue did not.

It was even said that as soon as the battle began, she used "thunder lightning speed" to make Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi almost lose their fighting ability.

After this battle, Ning Xinli felt that it was time for them to take the "Heritage of the God King" seriously.

Neither Qian Renxue nor the "Weird Soul Saint" they saw not long ago should be underestimated.

Too weak, they are still too weak now.

Getting stronger is the most important thing for them at the moment. As for the other things, they can think about it later.

Ning Fengzhi believes that for the Qibao Glazed Sect, his escape from the political whirlpool is a mixed blessing.

However, now that they are out of the political whirlpool, do they really need to be so pessimistic?

Today's Douluo Continent seems calm, but in fact there is an undercurrent.

The war is about to begin. At this time, passively maintaining a certain distance from the Tiandou royal family, which is in the center of the "whirlpool of power", for the Qibao Glazed Sect, in Ning Xinli's view, the advantages will definitely outweigh the disadvantages. .

As long as there are no problems within the Qibao Glazed Sect, from now on, the road ahead will only be bright.

On the contrary, it would be the Tang Sect that would do more harm than good by being pulled by the Tiandou royal family at this time.

How can war wealth be so easy to earn?
