Spirit Emperor - C69
The matter of Lee Xun being the first prince whose Pineflower Country had been lost for many years had been announced by the imperial edict.
That night, in the main hall of the Pineflower Country Palace.
“Your Majesty, this old subject congratulates you on finding the first prince.” The armored elderly man half-knelt as he saluted Lee Zhi.
“Old General Shang, please get up. We should be happy together.”
“His Majesty is right. I wonder when Your Majesty thinks it’s appropriate for the two children to get married? ” ‘s wedding had always been a sore point in Shang Loong’s heart. Back then, when he felt guilty towards Lee Zhi, he did this, but he never thought that even with the strength of his Pineflower Country, he was unable to find Lee Xun. After that, Shang Rongrong’s performance became more and more outstanding, and Shang Loong felt that he owed her in this matter. In short, he was not human, and neither side was fawning on her. Now that Lee Xun had returned, he naturally wanted to end this matter as soon as possible.
“Old General, of course I wish for the marriage of the two children to take place as soon as possible. Xun already married a wife two years ago, and according to our understanding, the two of them are very close, what do you think? ”
“It doesn’t matter, Your Majesty. Even if I’m small, it’s still Rongrong’s life, and I heard that the first prince is a dragon amongst men. In fact, it was actually very easy to find out more about Lee Xun. Back then, when Lee Xun had displayed his strength at the Southern young competition, many people noticed him and many people had sharp eyes.
“Heh heh, since the old general does not object, it’s easy to handle. However, he would still have to wait for the two children to meet and hear their opinions. “Come, let’s continue with our conversation from yesterday. The defense of the border …”
Lee Xun rejected Lee Ting’s suggestion to bring out his own bedroom and returned to the original courtyard. At that moment, Lu Tuan and the rest were waiting for him.
“Senior Brother, we heard that you are actually the first prince whose Pineflower Country has been lost for many years. Is that true?” Lu Tuan was very excited. If that was true, then Lee Xun was a person from the Pineflower Country, and this was definitely a blessing in disguise, and at this critical juncture, if Lee Xun was a person from the Pineflower Country, the meaning would be even more profound.
“How do you know?”
“Since the king has announced the imperial edict, we have already guessed it. Furthermore, how could there be such a coincidence that another Lee Xun would appear at this time? Coincidentally, you entered the palace.
“Actually, I did not expect that after listening to Lee Ting talk about it that day, I only thought of a few points. It really is like a dream. ”
“Haha, senior brother, what are we worried about in this arena battle? If you make a move, we won’t be able to fight evenly.” Lu Tuan excitedly jumped up.
Lee Xun laughed, at that time, he might really have to take action. After all, he was already a prince of Pineflower Country, and he had to do his best for his royal father and mother, and for his own country.
The morning of the second day, Hu Jing sent someone to bring over the prince’s clothing for Lee Xun. This robe was personally made by Hu Jing overnight, causing him to feel touched. However, the banquet would be held at five in the afternoon. They naturally could not waste time during the day, so they brought Lu Tuan and the others to the training grounds to practice their sword skills. Speaking of swords, Lee Xun also felt a headache. Without the gigantic sword, Lee Xun didn’t even have a weapon that he could use right now. The Sword of the Sword Spirit King’s energy was too astonishing, and even now, he was still unable to control it. It could still be used when using Demonic Beast Mountain, but naturally, it wouldn’t be useful here.
But just as everyone was training with the sword, an old acquaintance of Lee Xun’s came to the crown prince’s mansion, the Patriarch of Jin Family, Jin Xingtian.
Lee Ting was no longer in his residence. He was going to deal with the negotiation of the diplomatic mission. Everyone in the Crown Prince’s Palace already knew Lee Xun’s identity, so they naturally wanted to report to him. They didn’t know that Jin Xingtian had come precisely to meet Lee Xun.
“Senior Jin, why have you come here?”
“Lee Xun, I know you don’t like to talk in circles. Take a look at this first.” Jin Xingtian took out a letter and handed it over to Lee Xun.
The letter was actually an analysis of the various nations’ military strength of Alliance of Five, an information that had already been transferred recently. Finally, there was one more sentence, in terms of wealth and equipment, Jin Family fully supported the Pineflower Country royal family. This sentence was extremely sharp. Under the current circumstances, whoever helped the Pineflower Country royal family was equivalent to opposing the Alliance of Five. In every aspect, Alliance of Five was much stronger than Pineflower Country, so people were unable to fully grasp the meaning behind Jin Family’s actions.
“Senior Jin, I don’t really understand.” Lee Xun said.
“Is your master Senior Baili Hong?” Jin Xingtian asked with a smile.
“Just because of him, you guys gambled your entire Jin Family? Besides, how do you know my master’s name? ” Lee Xun was a little puzzled. He knew that the old man’s name had merely lasted for two years.
“Half of it, half of it is because we’ve found something. The Seven Sects Alliance, Southern Sword Sect Alliance. The mastermind behind the Alliance of Five are from the same force as the last time, so if it’s you, what would you do? ”
“So that’s how it is. Why didn’t you personally send it to my royal father? ”
“If I were to gift it to you, your royal father might not believe me. To tell you the truth, our Jin Family has been fighting with your Lee Family for hundreds of years, and ever since our Jin Family rose, it has become a sore point in our Lee Family. No country’s royal family hopes for a strength within their borders that they cannot control. However, because our Jin Family is not called the heart of a king, we did not meet in battle. Furthermore, my Jin Family knows how to advance and retreat, and never give my Lee Family any excuse. Moreover, with my Jin Family’s strength and background, Lee Family also wouldn’t dare to casually give us some big bounty. The two families mutually controlling each other like this, naturally their relationship isn’t harmonious either. It is better for you to explain the matter of the letter to your father. Also, a senior from our Jin Family has asked you to pass on a message to your master, ‘The grace of three swords, will never be forgotten’. ”
Lee Xun finally understood why Jin Xingtian wanted to rope him in before, and it turned out that it was this old man’s relationship. This was easily explained, and he continued: “Then how did you know that I was my master’s disciple? “You guys shouldn’t be able to find out, right?” Lee Xun didn’t believe that someone could find out this old man’s background.
“Actually, we did not send anyone to investigate. It was your huge sword that gave us enough information. That senior from my Jin Family will be there to watch the tournament every year, so if I find you, in addition to your exceptional strength at such a young age, I am even more certain that you are related to Senior Baili. Other than that, you should know that the elder who accompanied you to the Southern young warrior competition last time has some connections with my Jin Family. From him, we found out some information about the Heavenly Academy, and the senior of my Jin Family confirmed the master-disciple relationship between you and Senior Baili. ”
“So that’s how it is. I thank your Jin Family on behalf of my royal father. Oh right, Senior Jin, do you know where I can find a good sword or a good sword craftsman? ”
I know a few good sword forgers, but none of them are at the Pineflower Country. Furthermore, if you want to forge a sword, you need good materials as well, and it’s not something that can be forged in a short period of time.” It’s already a good sword, but I actually know that the old General Shang Loong of the Pineflower Country Merchant House has a sword called ‘Vault’. It’s said that it’s comparable to the Six Treasures Blue-ranked sword. However, if you use it, it won’t be as good as your Soul Sword, right? ” Jin Xingtian was a little confused.
“Thank you very much.” Lee Xun did not want Jin Xingtian to know too much, so he ended the conversation.
After Jin Xingtian left, Lee Xun muttered to himself: “The Shang family? It’s a little troublesome. “
