Watching this scene, Zhao Zhen's chest was filled with rage.
All under heaven belongs to the king; all within the four seas are the king's subjects.
Xu Yuanshou's action was simply treasonous.
His tone was extremely cold, and with a terrifying imperial aura in his voice, he questioned: "Xu Yuanshou, don't you want to be my subject anymore?"
"Who are you? How dare you wear the dragon robe and call yourself 'I'? Are you planning a rebellion?"
Xu Yuanshou raised the spear in his hand and pointed the tip at Zhao Zhen.
He knew Zhao Zhen's identity very well.
However, in this situation, he could only pretend to be confused.
The fact that Emperor Tianwu came alone was enough to show that he was afraid of the Zhenbei Army and did not want to completely break off relations with them.
Of course, if he insisted on dealing with the princess, Xu Yuanshou would have no choice but to fight.
Even if you know you are rebelling.
After all, his life was saved by the Prince of Zhenbei and his princess.
It was already too late for him to rush to rescue after receiving the news. No matter what, he could not let the princess and the prince get into trouble again.
What's more, these soldiers behind them have more or less received the favor of the King of Zhenbei and the Queen.
Even if he wanted to abandon the princess, they would not agree.
At this moment, Su Wantang, who had been on the verge of death several times, could no longer bear it and fainted.
Xu Yuanshou panicked and shouted to the two soldiers beside him, "Hurry, help the princess onto the carriage. Doctor Fu, treat her immediately!"
"If anything goes wrong with the princess and the prince, I'll chop off your heads!"
Hearing this, Jiang Lin finally felt relieved.
The Red Armor Battalion is one of the main forces under my father's command. They are extremely powerful and loyal to my father.
With them around, my mother and I will no longer have to worry about our lives.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully helping my mother escape from Emperor Tianwu's pursuit and completing the mission!]
[Task Evaluation: Perfect!]
[Reward: Heaven Covering Technique - Elementary (one of the ten ancient magical powers, can conceal one's own cultivation and divine secrets); Points +1000]
Jiang Lin used this magical power without hesitation to conceal his aura and secrets.
In the current situation, the more "useless" you are, the safer you will be.
With the performance of the elementary Heaven Covering Technique, the cultivation level of him and his mother was almost completely concealed.
However, this magical power consumes a lot of energy for him now.
He was only a five-month-old fetus after all.
After experiencing several major battles, his body had long been unable to bear the strain.
Therefore, after performing the Heaven-Covering Technique, Jiang Lin could not bear it and fell into a deep sleep.
Fu Songnian was taking the princess's pulse when he suddenly realized that her cultivation had disappeared in an instant, and his face turned extremely ugly.
Xu Yuanshou hurriedly asked, "Doctor Fu, what's the situation with the princess and the prince? Why don't you tell me right away?"
Fu Songnian said awkwardly: "My life was barely saved, but the princess's cultivation level..."
Xu Yuanshou couldn't believe his ears. "What nonsense are you talking about? The princess has been through hundreds of battles. Even the great monsters in the north couldn't do anything to her. How could it be possible..."
Although Fu Songnian was unwilling to believe it, he still told the truth.
"Not only has the princess's cultivation been completely destroyed, but even the prince in her womb is probably already damaged in his bloodline and unable to cultivate."
Xu Yuanshou was struck by lightning upon hearing this, wishing he could pierce Emperor Tianwu right then and there.
The princess was so heroic back then. In order to protect the peace of the people in the northern border, she personally led people into the heartland of the demon tribe. She is truly a role model for the generals.
Now, all his cultivation has been destroyed by the person in front of him.
How cruel is this to her?
If he had not been worried about a fight and hurting the princess, he would have led all the soldiers to charge forward long ago.
Emperor Tianwu was well aware of the combat effectiveness of the Red Armor Battalion of the Zhenbei Army.
The people in front of him were all elite soldiers who had been fighting against the demon tribe in the northern border for many years.
Even his most elite imperial guards were no match for him.
At this moment, they were all full of energy and shared the same hatred for the enemy.
Even if Zhao Zhen was at the Hedao realm, it would be difficult for him to win easily due to such a huge gap in numbers.
If a large number of troops were dispatched, a war would immediately break out between the emperor and his subjects.
Even if they defeated Jiang Zai's Northern Territory Demon-Suppressing Army, the royal family would inevitably suffer huge losses.
Instead, those old guys in Yujing City reap the benefits.
Most importantly, he has sensed it.
Su Wantang's breath was very weak. She had indeed lost all her cultivation. The chaotic energy of the fetus in her womb also completely disappeared.
Now that the goal has been achieved, why not take a step back?
Therefore, he snorted coldly: "Xu Yuanshou, arbitrarily mobilizing troops is a capital crime. Tell Jiang Zai that I am in Yujing City, waiting for him to come and apologize!"
Well, he waved his sleeves and turned to head towards Yujing City.
Seeing that the princess was seriously injured, Xu Yuanshou did not dare to delay: "Red Armor Battalion, listen to my order. Even if it means shattering thousands of miles of frozen ground, we must escort the princess back to the northern border safely."
"People can die, but the carriage cannot stop!"
…
…
Yujing City, Imperial Palace, inside the imperial study.
Imperial Preceptor Xuan Lingsu had a solemn expression on her face. She had just calculated three numbers for Jiang Lin, and all of them were "Nine Fives, a flying dragon in the sky, it will be a good opportunity to see the great man."
This is an extremely good omen, but also an extremely bad omen.
At least, it is not the hexagram Your Majesty wants.
Her fingers trembled slightly, and there were turbulent waves in the depths of her eyes.
"His Majesty..."
Xuan Lingsu's voice was filled with unprecedented fear, "I... have cast three divinations in a row, and the results are surprisingly... completely consistent!"
On the dragon throne, Zhao Zhen stared at Xuan Lingsu closely: "What is the hexagram? Tell me directly!"
Xuan Lingsu took a deep breath, as if to suppress the throbbing in his heart, and spoke each word clearly and uttered the maxim that shook the emperor's heart:
"Nine Five, the flying dragon is in the sky, it is auspicious to see the great man!"
"Buzz!"
These nine simple words were like a world-destroying thunderbolt that struck Zhao Zhen's heart fiercely.
He suddenly stood up from the dragon throne, and the imperial power around him exploded uncontrollably, crushing the precious furnishings in the imperial study into powder.
"Nine…five?!"
There was uncontrollable anger in Zhao Zhen's voice.
Nine and five is the supreme number!
Flying Dragon in the Sky? !
That evil creature... actually has the ability to soar into the sky and rule the world?!
How is this possible? !
The chaotic energy of that evil creature has dissipated and its bloodline has been cut off. How could such a hexagram appear?
Xuan Lingsu, bearing the terrifying imperial majesty, his forehead dripping with sweat, gritted his teeth and said, "This is the peak of the Qian Gua's utmost yang and strength, a sign of destiny and prosperity! The Lord... The Lord, the latent dragon, has ascended to the throne, riding the dragon to rule the heavens, his virtue is widespread, and all things are subservient..."
"Enough!" Zhao Zhen shouted, interrupting the imperial teacher.
His chest heaved violently, and his eyes no longer had the composure that an emperor should have. Instead, there was only the raging rage of having his reverse scale offended.
"Again! Again! Again!"
Seeing that Emperor Tianwu was furious, Xuan Lingsu had no choice but to risk backlash and tell Jiang Lin another fortune.
However, this time, the hexagram obtained was Kan, which means losing the way and being inauspicious.
"Your Majesty, this is the Kan hexagram, a very ominous hexagram." She was overjoyed at first, but then a look of confusion appeared on her face. "But, what exactly is going on?"
Emperor Tianwu asked, "My dear Lord Xuan, I want to ask you, when did you divine those three hexagrams?"
Xuan Lingsu pondered for a moment and replied, "It was... a quarter of an hour ago."
Emperor Tianwu laughed heartily upon hearing this: "Hahaha, that's right. I had that evil creature's bloodline destroyed by me half a quarter of an hour ago, and he has become a cripple."
Xuan Lingsu immediately echoed, "I thought who had the ability to change the world like this, it turns out to be Your Majesty."
She said this, but she was still a little confused.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for the hexagram to repeat in a short period of time, and she just calculated three hexagrams in a row, and all of them were flying dragons in the sky.
How could this kind of hexagram be easily abolished?
Could it be that... the King of Zhenbei has the great power to conceal the secrets of heaven and change his fate?
Secretly concealing Jiang Lin's true fate.
If this is the case, then it is like a real dragon hiding in the abyss, waiting for the right opportunity to soar into the sky!
Emperor Tianwu was delighted: "Yes, I am the destiny!"
Although somewhat disappointed, Xuan Lingsu still reminded, "Your Majesty, no matter what the hexagram indicates, I suggest that you quickly send people to the northern border to keep an eye on that evildoer, just in case."
Emperor Tianwu thought for a moment and said, "Immediately summon Miao Guilan and Jiang Yuan to see me."
