On Longyuan Hall. 26nbsp;

Xue Hongze, who is the emperor of the people, sat on the high dragon chair. On the surface, he looked calm and confident, but in his heart he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, feeling very uneasy.

Seeing that a few more cities from the Dali Dynasty and the Dachu Dynasty are about to approach the city, but the reinforcements brought by the third prince Xueyang from the Dachu Dynasty and the Far East are nowhere to be seen. As for Ling Feng and his teacher, they are still there. During the retreat, there was no movement at all.

No matter how calm Xue Hongze's personality was, he would inevitably feel uneasy in the face of the mighty armies of the two countries and the experts from the Spirit Gathering Realm.

"Report to Your Majesty, the First Prince and the Second Prince have arrived and are outside the hall, waiting to be summoned!" Outside the gate of Longyuan Hall, a guard bowed to report.

"Show them in!" Xue Hongze said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" The guard bowed his hands respectfully, turned his head to look at the eldest prince and second prince who had been waiting outside the hall, bowed, and pointed to Longyuan Hall, "You two princes, the Holy Majesty summoned you, please— —”

"rustle!"

Footsteps sounded in Longyuan Hall, and the eldest prince and the second prince in brocade clothes walked in side by side.

"My son, see father!" The eldest prince and the second prince knelt on one knee and saluted Xue Hongze.

"Get up!" Xue Hongze said lightly, seeing the First Prince and Second Prince standing up below, he asked again, "Do you know why I summoned you now?"

Hearing this, the eldest prince and the second prince turned their heads to look at each other, both of them looked blank, shook their heads at the same time, and replied: "I don't know, I hope the emperor will let me know!"

Xue Hongze looked at the eldest prince and the second prince with an elusive disappointment, and then said in a deep voice: "Now, at the critical moment of our Eastern Jin Dynasty's life and death, in order to resist the speed of the enemy's attack, we must Longyuan City's preparations have won enough time, now is the time for you two brothers to perform!"

"I hope that the two of you can lead your men to the fortress city in front of Longyuan City, relying on the geographical advantage of the city to resist the attack of the enemy army, and delay their attack speed as much as possible!"

Hearing this, a look of shock flashed in the eyes of the first prince and the second prince at the same time, and their complexions couldn't help changing slightly. At this moment they realized that Xue Hongze's purpose in summoning them was to let the two of them personally lead their forces to the front as cannon fodder to delay the defense of Longyuan City!

"Although it is very dangerous to go to the front line this time, I hope that you will go all out and perform well." After encouraging the first prince and the second prince, Xue Hongze had a flash of expectation in his eyes, and solemnly said, "I have decided, Based on the performance of the two of you this time, the candidate for the next emperor will be selected! I hope you will not let me down!"

"Father, don't worry, we will do our best to resist the enemy!" The eldest prince and the second prince replied without any hesitation, but there was no excitement in their hearts because of Xue Hongze's promise.

If Xue Hongze had said these words before that, the First Prince and Second Prince who had coveted the throne for a long time would have been overjoyed and desperately seized this opportunity.

But now the eldest prince and the second prince don't have the slightest look of excitement on their faces.

After all, the Eastern Jin Dynasty has already lost half of its country, and even the imperial city is already in jeopardy. Whether it can be held is still a question. The current throne is too illusory and unrealistic for them!

"Okay, you all go back quickly to reorganize your own manpower, and prepare to leave immediately!" Hearing the answer from the first prince and the second prince without hesitation, Xue Hongze couldn't help showing a long-lost gratified smile on his face, and nodded slowly. nod.

...

The eldest prince and the second prince bid farewell to Xue Hongze, and walked on the spacious and flat avenue of the palace.

"Brother, you don't really intend to take all your men and horses to fight against the armies of the Dali Dynasty and the Dachu Dynasty, do you?" The second prince glanced at the surroundings and turned his head to whisper to the first prince, " If we fight head-on with the enemy with our own power, even if we successfully delay the enemy and help defend Longyuan City, how can we sit on the throne safely without any power? Under the powerful offensive, the four-way army of our Eastern Jin Dynasty is almost depleted, and the chances of Longyuan City being able to survive are really slim!"

Hearing what the second prince said, the eldest prince raised his brows, paused his steps, and turned his head to look at the former: "Second brother, what do you mean?"

"Brother, you are such a smart person, how can you not guess what I'm thinking?" A faint smile appeared on the face of the second prince.

Seeing the smile on the second prince's face, the eldest prince's eyes lit up immediately, and he said in a low voice: "You want to preserve your strength, to protect yourself wisely!"

Hearing what the eldest prince said, the smile on the second prince's face grew a little bit, and he nodded slowly.

...

The sealed stone room of the Ling family.

At this moment, the entire large stone room was filled with thick white mist, and Ling Feng's figure in the black cauldron was looming in the white mist, frantically absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

Two months of soaking in the Nine Heavens Milky Way water has made Ling Feng's skin as delicate and smooth as a newborn baby. In addition, his figure is relatively thin. Like a dude.

After two months of penance, Ling Feng spent almost all his time on cultivation except for eating and drinking. In order not to waste any time, he didn't even wash his face once. At this moment, his originally handsome face was covered with beards. It looks like a vagrant beggar.

Suddenly, Ling Feng, who was absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, opened his eyes suddenly, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a smile full of excitement.

Because at this moment he has already felt the change in his own strength!

"Finally broke through!" Ling Feng slowly clenched his fists, feeling the power in his body that was several times stronger than that of the sixth level of innate, and said with emotion, "Is this the strength of the 'Spiritual Realm' of the seventh level of innateness? It really is true." It's very strong!"

The Seventh Level of Congenital—Spiritual Realm, can make the warrior's body stronger. The most important thing is that the innate qi in the warrior's dantian is fully twice as strong as before!

In other words, if Ling Feng controls the power of "Chi" to sacrifice the Heaven-shaking Seal, then he can send out a total of six Heaven-shattering Palms!

"I don't know how long I've been in seclusion. Clean it up and get ready to go out!" Touching his messy beard, Ling Feng smiled and started the first time in two months. wash your face

...

In the royal study.

"With Xuan'er and Hua'er leading the men to guard the fortress, I believe it will be enough to buy us a few days." Xue Hongze turned his head and smiled at Xue Tianhong with a kind face, "I hope Ling Feng and his teacher can stay here for a few days." When the day comes out, when the time comes, we have you, the emperor, the old patriarch Qinglie, the number one powerhouse in our Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Ling Feng's teacher, who may be able to block the enemy's strong spirit-gathering realm and turn the tide in Longyuan City. Qiankun, regain half of the country lost by our Eastern Jin Dynasty!"

Xue Tianhong smiled faintly, shook his head, and was about to speak, when the door of the imperial study was slammed open, and a rich figure rushed in in a panic.

"Wang Hu, what happened, why are you so panicked?" Seeing Wang Hu, who had never lost his composure in front of him, looked panic-stricken, Xue Hongze frowned, feeling a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart.

"My lord, my lord, something is wrong, the eldest prince and the second prince, they turned their backs!" Wang Hu said out of breath.

"What!" Xue Hongze jumped up directly, his tiger eyes widened angrily, his face full of disbelief, and even his voice became a little hoarse because of excitement.

"The first prince and the second prince led the Yang, Han, Xu and other families to rebel against each other, and have already led the army of the Dali Dynasty and the Dachu Dynasty to kill Longyuan City!" I couldn't help reporting cautiously, one-fifth ten-ten, trembling.

"These two rebels!" Xue Hongze gritted his teeth and shouted angrily, and slapped the desk in front of him fiercely!

There was only a sound of "Peng", and suddenly the entire imperial study room was filled with confetti and sawdust!

"Get ready to meet the enemy!" Glancing at the furious Xue Hongze, Xue Tianhong slowly shook his head and said calmly.
