The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

In the gazebo.

Facing Zhuge Yuanba's narration, Xiao Rui returned an embarrassed smile.

"Miss Zhuge has great ambitions and should not be bound by skins. The champion should understand that depression and frustration are more painful than illness and suffering." Xiao Rui organized his words and said solemnly.

Zhuge Yuanba was stunned, and sighed: "Yes, it is indeed the most painful to be depressed. But after all, the elder brother only has this one daughter, and some things must be honed to promote her growth."

Xiao Rui heard it, and immediately asked back: "Isn't Champion Hou opposed to Miss Zhuge's formation of female soldiers?"

Zhuge Yuanba smiled and said, "Let them settle the matter of their father and daughter. King Xian, please have some tea."

Xiao Rui nodded, took a sip of tea, and it was really fragrant.

"Where is the master?" Xiao Rui asked curiously.

Zhuge Yuanba looked leisurely, and said: "Idle clouds and wild cranes, roaming the rivers and lakes, if I hadn't just returned to the capital, I wouldn't have been dragged by my elder brother to watch Liuying."

Xiao Rui said regretfully: "Sir, at first glance, he is a man of great talent. Being a wandering cloud wild crane is too humiliating."

Zhuge Yuanba didn't seem to want to talk about this, and asked instead: "Why did King Xian come to find Liuying?"

Xiao Rui didn't hide anything, he said that he wanted to hone his sword skills, and asked Zhuge Liuying for advice.

Who knows, Zhuge Yuanba said with a mysterious face: "Your Highness, I do know a place that is suitable for practicing swords."

"Where?" Xiao Rui asked quickly.

"Northwest Camp, Iron Dragon Riders!" Zhuge Yuanba said with a smile.

Xiao Rui frowned suddenly. He naturally knew that the Northwest Camp was guarding the capital, and the patrol battalion in the capital was one outside and one inside to protect the safety of the capital.

But even though he had heard about Iron Dragon Riders, he knew very little about them. Because this iron cavalry is too mysterious, it rarely sent troops, and none of the enemies who had seen this iron cavalry survived. All in all, hearing is greater than seeing.

Zhuge Yuanba seemed to see Xiao Rui's doubts, so he explained: "Iron Dragon Riders are the elite of the Northwest Camp, and they were specially formed to lead the Northwest Camp when Emperor Xia was not yet emperor. A heavy armored cavalry. There are only a thousand of them, but each of them is a warrior of the second rank or above. They pursue iron-blooded tactics, and no grass grows in the battle, and the old and weak, women and children are not left behind, and their methods are cruel."

Xiao Rui wondered: "What does this mysterious iron cavalry have to do with my saber practice?"

Zhuge Yuanba said: "His Royal Highness's sword skills lack the tempering of life and death, but Iron Dragon Riders have a training called death battle! It is to transport soldiers from the enemy country from the border to train recruits. If you win, you will continue to live and die." If you die, you will die. Searching around the capital, there are no bandits for His Highness to practice swords, so you can't be an executioner. And the death battle of Iron Dragon Knight is a good choice. However, it depends on whether His Highness can be ruthless. Make up your mind, regardless of life and death."

However, Xiao Rui said: "The most difficult thing is not whether I can be ruthless, but how I can enter the Northwest Camp, and how the Iron Dragon Riders will allow me to participate in the death battle! This is impossible."

"I can help Your Highness." Zhuge Yuanba suddenly smiled.

"Eh..." Xiao Rui was stunned.

"It depends on whether your Highness dares or not?" Zhuge Yuanba had a weird smile on his face.

Xiao Rui was even more puzzled: "Why did you help me, sir?"

Zhuge Yuanba showed nostalgia, and murmured: "It can be regarded as repayment."

Xiao Rui:? ?

He was even more puzzled, had he ever crossed paths with Yuan Ba ​​in front of him? How come it's about revenge again.

"We don't seem to know each other." Xiao Rui asked.

Zhuge Yuanba said: "But I know your mother."

Xiao Rui was moved instantly, and asked quickly: "Do you know my mother? What kind of person is she? Are you familiar with her?"

Who knows, Zhuge Yuanba shook his head and said: "Don't tell, don't tell, let Emperor Xia tell you what kind of person your mother is."

Xiao Rui was even more puzzled, what is the origin of his mother? He has conducted a special investigation, and those who know only know all the superficial things, which is not the point at all.

"How do you think about it? If you fight to the death, you are likely to die, because you have to face ten enemy soldiers who are desperately fighting for survival." Zhuge Yuanba asked again.

Xiao Rui gritted his teeth and asked: "Who is afraid of whom, senior, when will we play?"

Zhuge Yuanba laughed loudly: "Okay! It really looks like your mother's temperament. I will arrange it, the slowest is five days, the fastest is three days. I will go to His Highness."

Xiao Rui nodded, turned his head to look at the room, and asked, "Before I leave, can I meet Miss Zhuge?"

But Zhuge Yuanba refused: "Forget it, let's talk about it after you become a second-rank martial artist."

Xiao Rui had no choice but to say goodbye and leave.

On the way back home, Xiao Rui became more and more curious about the identities of his mother and the grandfather he had never met before, and why the information he could investigate was extremely limited?

"Ding dong... a new mission has started."

I never thought that the system that had been silent for many days suddenly issued a task.

Xiao Rui hurriedly closed his eyes to observe, only to see:

"New task 1: Find out the mystery of the mother's identity. This is a long-term task. After completing the task, you will be rewarded once. If you fail the task, there will be no punishment."

"New task 2: Find out the true identity of grandfather and others. This is a long-term task. After completing the task, the reward will be 80. If the task fails, there will be no penalty."

"New task 3: Invite one of the grandfather, uncle, or aunt to Beijing. This is a long-term task. After completing the task, the reward will be 70. If the task fails, there will be no task penalty."

I go!

Xiao Rui was a little dazed, usually there was no movement, but now there are three new tasks, and they are still long-term tasks! Looking at the rich rewards, this is forcing Xiao Rui to investigate to the end.

However, what he could find was of no value, so he asked Xiao Yan to help him, and asked an old man like Duke Jing if he knew his grandfather. Even now, Xiao Rui didn't even dare to confirm his grandfather's last name.

Because he only knew that his dead mother was named Concubine Rong, and her name was Ye Qianlan, and it was probably a pseudonym.

If even an old man like Duke Jing didn't know, then who else in the capital would know besides Emperor Xia?

Wait, there is one more person!

Night King Xiao Heding!

When I saw him last time, he said that Xiao Rui's mother was the cousin of Xiao Heding's married wife, so he was naturally familiar with his mother's identity!

Thinking of this, Xiao Rui immediately asked Wu Zhanfa to leave the city and head to the Lotus Temple.

However, when he arrived at the Lotus Temple, he found that there was only the old abbot in the temple, and Xiao Heding had disappeared. After asking the abbot, he learned that the monk Yuanzhen left here and traveled all over the world. He also said that he is where he goes, and he is where he dies.

Well, the direction I finally found is broken again.

Is there only one way, and that is to ask Emperor Xia?

Xiao Rui was a little apprehensive.
