Royal Graciousness: Be the Empress - C348

He thought that this time, Ling Tian Qing was weak in his territory. He had at least half a chance of winning, but he did not think that this ship would be so easy.

Duanmu Xiu, I know that it’s not easy for you to sit in the throne of the kingdom, but I’m already attached to the Mountain and Sea Realm and won’t interfere with matters of the secular world. Seeing him get up to make a request, Ling Tian finally spoke up after a slight pause.

“Moreover, as long as I disembark from the ship, you will bear the responsibility of secretly storing the Phoenix Body of the Emperor, which is sufficient to destroy a country.” Ling Tian Qing continued.

“If… If this country… Is it yours? ” Duanmu Xiu clenched his teeth and asked.

Ling Tianqing smiled.

Duanmu Xiu’s ambition… This was no ordinary size!

He painstakingly climbed onto the throne, and before he could even cover his heat, he had already bowed down in front of the neighbouring phoenixes, respecting a woman as his emperor. He had never seen someone endure such humiliation before.

“You mean, give me your country?” Ling Tian asked softly after laughing.

“If we join hands, we will definitely get what we want.” Duanmu Xiu took a step forward with an extremely serious expression. “Currently, Ling Wang is looking for you everywhere. How long can you hide like this for? And Duke Ling’s methods are ruthless. If you find him, you will definitely not be like me, who ‘invites’ you off the boat … ”

“What the Queen said just now was extremely good. The best defense is an attack. If you don’t attack, others will definitely take the initiative.” Seeing that she didn’t interrupt him this time, Duanmu Xiu spoke in one breath.

He didn’t look like someone who liked to look down on others.

If Ling Jin could help him ascend to the next rank, he could kick him to the next rank.

A few days ago, Ling Jing had been busy with calming the cold and internal strife, even the small marquises in the north had used Huai Rou to pacify them. But in recent days, while the avalanches of the Vast Sky Mountain were still under way, Ling Jin had actually sent her army out to look for Ling Tianqing, but wherever she went, it was more like she was establishing the might of a great nation.

Not only that, Ling Xuexin had also sent countless elite troops to search the borders. No one knew if Ling Wang was truly searching for someone, or if he was making use of this opportunity to confuse the eyes and ears of other countries in an attempt to annex a small country.

Duanmu also knew that the reason why the East China Sea was flourishing today was because he dared to interact frequently with large countries.

To be more accurate, they had no choice but to interact with large countries …

But this was a double-edged sword.

The introduction of countless members of the Great Ling dynasty also meant that the economy and government were increasingly restrained and influenced by the other party.

He wanted to break free before the forces that Ling Xiang had encountered corroded him.

And the girl in the Han dress who was rumored to be the daughter of heaven was his only hope.

He wanted to use offense and defense to ally with the small surrounding countries to fight against Ling Xuanxuan for the throne.

He wanted to … The capital was changed to the bright and vibrant four seasons, the rich and fertile land of the imperial capital of the Middle earth. This made it so that the citizens no longer risked their lives to continue living.

“Duanmu, your throne is all thanks to Ling Zui, right?” Ling Tianqing suddenly asked.

When Duanmu Xiu heard this, he couldn’t help but be startled.

This matter was a secret of the kingdom. Even if she had been in the harem, it was impossible for her to know the secret between the two countries.

“When you were still the crown prince, you came to the imperial city to seek an audience with Duke Ling. Perhaps it was because someone threatened your position as crown prince, so you had no choice but to seek the help of a large country to interfere in the internal affairs of your country and help you rise to power.” Ling Tianqing was just guessing.

It was a battle that had always been fought by the rulers of every country. Even if it was the only son, he still might not be able to ascend to the throne.

“Let me guess.” Seeing that Duanmu Xiu was unable to conceal his expression, Ling Qing said with a smile, “Ling Xiang is not an easy ally. If you ask him for help, he won’t let you go until all your bones are gone, right?”

He was indeed a person close to a pillow, as expected, he knew his opponent well.

“If I guessed correctly, he already knew your purpose for coming here. He purposely let you go for a few days, letting Hua Hou accompany you for your meal and fun. Seeing the rich and powerful countries around, he never raised his conditions.” Ling Tian Qing continued.

Although Duanmu Xiu’s expression changed, his eyes revealed a smile.

He had found the right ally.

In this world, if there was anyone who could fight against Ling Chen, it had to be her!

“He won’t open his mouth until you get more and more impatient, until you retreat, and are willing to swallow your anger and allow yourself to be slaughtered for the throne, right?” As Ling Tian spoke to here, he suddenly sighed.

Why did she … To know so much about Lingxiu.

Or after leaving… Then what about knowing him?

“Yes.” Duanmu Xiu finally nodded.

It was indeed a “disgrace to the country.”

However, Ling Xingran was very clear on his bottom line, and did not oppress him to the end.

As long as he became the master of the East Sea, he would have absolute power in the East Sea. No one would dare to oppose him.

But Duanmu knew very well that the master of the East Sea was just a step up to the outside world.

The steps that must be passed.

“Duanmu Xiu, listen to me. Be a good lord. Although Ling Xuanxuan has great power, if you keep your promise, he won’t make a move without a reason. He will fight for the East Sea.”

“Currently, almost all of East China Sea’s business transactions are controlled by Ling Wang. “Everyone said that I am the wise ruler of a nation, but I didn’t know that all of this prosperity was bestowed upon me by Prince Ling …” Seeing that Ling Tianqing’s speculations were all correct, Duanmu Xiu did not try to hide it anymore.

He could not allow the country to borrow too much external strength. Otherwise, he would also have to move further and further away from his ideal throne.

In the end, it was just a small town under the Emperor.

The difference between a mayor and a king was too great.

“It is not wise to use an egg to hit a rock.” Ling Tian smiled as she advised, “Anyway, thank you for your generosity, I beg your pardon.”

Believe her, she and Ling Jing had traveled to the north and south together, then wandered the boundless ocean for more than a hundred days.

Ling’s lands were vast, and the East China Sea was nothing but a tiny piece of land, just like China’s Zhoushan Islands, which could be easily destroyed.

“If you have any arms… How can you hit a rock with an egg? ” Duanmu Xiu had long probed into the power of firearms, but his men could never match up with such destructive power.

“You may not have heard that.” Ling Tian Qing said slowly, “Capture the thief first and then the king.”

The frontline might be able to hold on for a while, or even nibble away at a few small towns, but once Ling Jin met with an attack that stopped it, he would immediately cut off the food, destroy the palace, and destroy the cultivation king.

“However, if you truly wish to become a powerful cultivator, there are many islands in this region of the sea that have abundant resources. However, some of them have been occupied by pirates, so you can send someone to investigate them. The development of the island is very promising.”

Although it was impossible for Ling Tianqing to be on the same side as Duanmu Xiu, she felt sorry for him after seeing how pitifully bullied she was.

Therefore, she sincerely gave a few pointers. Although they couldn’t expand into the Middle Land, being the overlord of the sea also had an unlimited future.

And how much fun?

Every island was different. It was just like when she was on Earth, she could play the game of the age of great navigation, and she could go on conquest or adventure … Completely satisfying the subjugation desires of men.

“However, the islands are scattered, and it is very difficult to unify them.” Duanmu Xiu did not want to talk about the sea at all.

“This is actually very easy.” Ling Tianqing smiled faintly. She was always able to interest people in topics that they were not interested in.

It had been a long spring rain in the imperial city.

The flower slowly bloomed and fell. It spun in the wind and got sucked into the dragon tower.

Above the Dragon Pavilion stood a tall man.

Tian Qinghua laid layer by layer on the ground. The fresh and light fragrance permeated through the layers of wind and rain and diffused into the air.

Ling Zui in the green rain of flowers quietly looked at his own Royal City.

At the foot of the mountain, his imperial city was shrouded in rain and mist. The students and merchants from three months ago seemed to have left in a single night, causing the entire city to no longer be as lively as it was before.

Or maybe it was his heart, space.

The more he looked at this mountain, the more lonely he felt.

Because, spring arrived late, and he, and his own spring missed the cross.

“Your Majesty, the Eastern Pearl Governor intercepted a secret letter that seems to be related to the Empress.” Mo Yang’s voice came from outside the Dragon Pavilion, sounding a bit surprised.

Dongzhu and the Eastsea Kingdom were nearing. Their main mission was to keep an eye on the border and gather intelligence.

Just as Mo Yang finished his sentence, Ling Lingzhi had already floated down from the top floor without a sound. Her clothes were trembling slightly, and there was a trace of expectation on her face: “Reporting.”

In the past few days, almost every day, there would be someone who would report things that “seemed to be related to the Empress”.

Ling Qing seemed to really be dead.

If she were to disappear from this world, no matter what, she wouldn’t be able to find any trace of her.

Even if he used someone like Sister Hua to seduce him, it wouldn’t have any effect.

“I don’t know who this secret letter is addressed to, but this letter is different from the others. The handwriting is also very strange.” Mo Yang handed over a small piece of paper.

The letter was not silk, but rather colored red paper. There was no other person in the world who could produce this kind of paper.

And the handwriting was extremely thin. It was definitely not written with a brush, it seemed more like … Pen.

That’s right, it was the weird stuff that Ling Tian Qing had been studying since he had nothing to do.

Even though the handwriting was unfamiliar, Ling Xuanxin’s eyebrows twitched when he read the contents of the letter.

Last night, he had a dream and a flower, but he didn’t want to return home in the spring.

The river ran out of spring, and the moon fell to the west.

The slanted moon was deep in the fog of the sea, while the road was filled with endless stones and clouds.

He didn’t know that Cheng Yue and the others would return, but Luo Yue had fallen in love with the Manchu tree.

The red letter and the small characters were not something that anyone could imitate. Adding on this unparalleled poem, it was almost like a lifelike Ling Qing standing in front of him.

“What a pity that I didn’t return home in the middle of the spring… “The moon is setting and the sea mist is hidden in it …” Ling Xiang’s expression became more and more joyous, his dark eyes almost ignited with flames, “So …” “Where did you hide …”

“Your Majesty …” Just as Mo Yang was about to speak, Ling Xingran had already turned around and walked towards the monastery.

“Watch the East Sea closely. This King does not belong to the Sunrise Palace.” Ling Xuejian had left behind these words, and he had already disappeared.

Ling Tian Qing sneezed a few times.

“Elder sister, are you feeling cold?” A cute girl handed over a handkerchief.

“Young Lord, would you like some soup?” The other youth asked with concern.

On this ship, Ling Qing was addressed with all sorts of names. Ling Qing was too lazy to correct them, so it didn’t matter if they wanted to call him whatever they wanted.

“Achoo!” Ling Tian opened his mouth and sneezed again.
