Practicing from the Taoist

Chapter 257 A Chance

"Tsk, it seems that there is not much difference between the number of people who support Qi State to give an account, and the number of people who oppose it. If you add those princes and kings who did not come, the number should basically be the same. In this case, it is not too big. It's easy!"

Seeing this result, the lord of the vassal state who had obviously provoked Sheng Huang before spoke again at this time. After speaking, he turned around and bowed to Sheng Huang, and then continued to speak.

"Your Majesty Sheng Huang, today's incident has reached such an extent that there must be a decision. Now that the two attitudes support the same number of people, then we might as well change the method and let the two parties use force Let's face off, let's decide whether or not the Qi Kingdom will give an explanation!"

As soon as the other party said this, all the lords and lords in the hall turned their eyes to Xu Jin and You Kong, the lord of the Qi Kingdom, and many of them showed expressions of wanting to watch the excitement.

At this time, Xu Jin had just finished eating the food on the last plate in front of him, and felt that countless eyes were gathering on him again. Xu Jin naturally put down the chopsticks in his hand, and also turned his attention to the lord of the Qi Kingdom. You Kong.

Some of the princes and kings who looked at Xu Jin noticed the empty plate in front of Xu Jin, and felt a little disdain for Xu Jin again in their hearts, especially the one sitting next to Xu Jin, who almost wrote the word disgust on face off.

"Xu Jin, You Kong, how do you two agree?"

Sheng Huang, who was sitting at the top of the hall, also cast his eyes on Xu Jin and You Kong at this time, and asked them a question.

Hearing Shenghuang's question, Xu Jin immediately stood up, and instead of directly answering whether she would like it or not, she bowed to Shenghuang and answered.

"Follow His Majesty Sheng Huang's orders!"

Xu Jin's answer was very straightforward and ingenious. Although Sheng Huang's face did not change in any way, some of the princes and kings who supported Qi State before should give an explanation, some of them showed a hint of satisfaction on their faces.

Seeing Xu Jin's straightforward answer, You Kong, the lord of the Qi Kingdom, seemed a little hesitant at this moment. He looked at the princes and lords, then at Shenghuang sitting at the top of the hall, and then fell to Xu Jin. The expression on his face fluctuated for a while, but in the end, You Kong gritted his teeth and saluted Sheng Huang.

"The widow is also willing to listen to His Majesty Sheng Huang's orders!"

Even though You Kong, the lord of Qi State, was very reluctant in his heart, he knew very well that at this moment, it was no longer a matter of whether Qi State should give an explanation, but a matter of several powerful vassal states, and the relationship between Sheng Huang and Sheng Huang. Another confrontation between.

Both parties expressed their willingness to listen to Shenghuang's orders, and some princes and lords who wanted to watch the excitement turned their eyes to Shenghuang again at this time. As long as Shenghuang said yes at this time, then they would really have a lively look at it. .

Under the gazes of everyone, Sheng Huang did not immediately agree to the two using force to decide whether Qi Guo would give an explanation, but looked at Xu Jin again, and asked him.

"Xu Jin, I have invited you to the feudal banquet this time. You already know the first purpose. Now I will tell you the second purpose of asking you to come!"

As soon as Sheng Huang's words came out, the attention of those present who were prepared to watch the excitement were suddenly attracted by what Sheng Huang said.

"His Majesty Sheng Huang please clarify!"

Xu Jin took a deep breath, saluted Sheng Huang, and at the same time had a guess in her heart about what Sheng Huang would say next.

"Today you are on the same rank as the lords of the princes, and you enjoy the same treatment. If it is only for the affairs of Qi, you will not be able to appear in this hall during the banquet of the princes today. Dasheng sent tribute items, what do you think is the other purpose of Gu inviting you here?"

Sheng Huang didn't directly explain what he said, but he basically made it clear. After hearing these words, Xu Jin couldn't help feeling a little excited.

Although before coming, Xu Jin had already had some guesses about the purpose of Dasheng's invitation to come here, but Xu Jin didn't feel that there was much hope for her being named the lord of the princes, even in the After coming to Yunshangjing, Xu Jin was asked for tribute items, and Xu Jin didn't have any expectations in this regard, but now, this kind of good thing that she thinks has the least probability is about to fall on her head, Xu Jin Naturally, it is impossible not to have the slightest touch in my heart.

And just when Xu Jin was a little excited because of Sheng Huang's words, the next moment, there was a voice of opposition immediately.

"Your Majesty Sheng Huang can't do it. This Xu Jin is just a Taoist soldier. He got some opportunities to achieve what he is today. But he has no blood inheritance, nor has he made any great achievements. How can he be named a prince?" Lord?"

The lord of the vassals who spoke was not the lord of those powerful vassal states, but a lord of the princes who supported Qi before and should give an explanation.

Hearing the meaning of Sheng Huang's words, it seems that Xu Jin is going to be named the lord of the vassals. The lords of the powerful vassal states have not spoken yet, but the lord of the princes who is standing on the side of Dasheng can't help but jump first. came out against it.

And after the voice of the lord of the vassal state fell, the lord of the vassal state who was sitting next to Xu Jin immediately stood up and spoke.

"Your Majesty Sheng Huang, such a humble, vulgar and rude person with no morals, no self-cultivation, no blood inheritance, what qualifications are there to be on the same level as me, please think again, Your Majesty Sheng Huang!"

Voices of opposition kept ringing out. After the lord of the vassals had finished speaking, the lords of the vassals stood up again and again, opposing Xu Jin being made the lord of the vassals. reason.

Those vassal lords who were not on the side of the lords who were not on the side of the vassals at this time stepped down to object one after another. They were all silent and did not express any objection.

Xu Jin, who was a little bit agitated because of Sheng Huang's words, quickly calmed down after hearing these continuous voices of opposition around her.

"Sure enough, without blood inheritance, it is almost impossible to be named the lord of the vassal state. In the eyes of these vassal lords with blood inheritance, it is a compliment to them that I am listed with them without blood inheritance. insult!"

Such a thought flashed in Xu Jin's mind. After the excitement calmed down, a trace of anger arose in her heart at this time.

Xu Jin knew that the possibility of becoming the lord of the princes was very small, so he didn't have any extravagant hopes for it before, but at this moment, the continuous voices of opposition and questioning made him feel very uncomfortable.

When these vassals and lords continued to stand up to oppose, Sheng Huang sitting at the top of the hall did not speak until a hundred or so breaths later, these vassals and lords had already expressed what they should express. After becoming quiet again, Sheng Huang spoke slowly.

"Gu understands what everyone said just now. You have raised a lot of questions, but in Gu's view, the biggest problem with Xu Jin is actually that he came from a humble background and has no blood inheritance. In addition, personal For him, strength, foundation, and reputation are all already in place.”

"Since the founding of the country in Dasheng, all the lords of the princes have been inherited by blood, but since the founding of the country in Dasheng, those who have no blood inheritance and have extraordinary abilities are everywhere, even among the princes. There are also a lot of talents. Some people's strength and achievements are completely qualified to be named princes and kings, but they are restricted by their own blood. Thinking about it, Dasheng should give these people a chance. This may be more beneficial to the development of the human race!"

"Gu knows that saying that, most of you will still object. Gu has never said before that Xu Jin will be made the lord of the princes today. What Gu wanted to say before was that he can be given a chance!"

"A person without a bloodline inheritance cannot be named the lord of a vassal state, but if his strength goes further and reaches the realm of the heavenly constitution, or obtains a bloodline inheritance for himself or his descendants through other means, then he or his The next generation can become the lord of the vassals, what I want to give is such an opportunity, so, is there anyone who opposes it?"

After Shenghuang finished speaking, all the princes and lords present calmed down. After looking at each other, one of the princes and lords who had been standing on Dasheng's side stood up and said.

"His Majesty Sheng Huang is wise. I was a little reckless just now and failed to understand what His Majesty Sheng meant. If so, then of course there is no problem!"

After the lord of the vassals finished speaking, the other lords of the vassals also echoed. Since Emperor Sheng did not want to make Xu Jin the lord of the vassals, he just wanted to give Xu Jin a chance, and the conditions for this opportunity were so harsh, Then they have no need to object.

If Xu Jin's cultivation base breaks through to the realm of Tianxian, then he is a true god. For a god, no matter what his status is before, at the moment he becomes a god, all the princes and kings must respect him. The qualifications listed in the same column, when it comes to the realm of Tianxian, it doesn't really make much sense whether it is named the lord of the princes or kingdoms.

Compared with being named the lord of the vassal state after breaking through the Tianxian realm, the latter condition for obtaining the bloodline inheritance actually made the lords of the princes present pay more attention to it.

The method to allow oneself to obtain blood inheritance is no easier than breaking through the realm of Tianxian. In contrast, it is easier to let one's offspring obtain blood inheritance. Just marry a woman with blood inheritance, say It may not be possible to succeed.

Therefore, in the eyes of the princes and lords, this is the most valuable part of this opportunity. I cannot become the lord of the vassals myself, but I can let my descendants become the lords of the states. Once Xu Jin gets such an opportunity However, these princes and kings will never be stingy in marrying their daughters to Xu Jin, so that they can inherit one more line of blood.

Seeing that none of the princes and lords objected anymore, Sheng Huang turned his attention to Xu Jin again and said to him.

"Xu Jin, I have another purpose for inviting you to the princes' banquet. You should have understood by now. Next, you will fight against the lord of Qi State, You Kong. If you can win, Qi State will not only give you an explanation. , and you can also win yourself the chance to become the lord of the princes!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty Shenghuang!"

Hearing this, Xu Jin bowed again and said.

"Since that's the case, let's start your duel after the banquet of the princes is over, you...!"

Seeing this, Sheng Huang nodded and continued, but before he finished speaking, the lord of the princes who had spoken provocatively interrupted him at this time.

"Your Majesty Shenghuang, it's just a showdown. Why wait until the banquet of the princes is over, why not start now, this can also add some fun to the banquet of the princes, so that the princes and kings present can be watched by His Majesty Shenghuang How outstanding are the talents in the field!"

The other party's move is already quite offensive, but the other party has already made provocative actions before, and the princes and kings present are not surprised by this.

As for the other party's unreasonable offense, Sheng Huang still did not punish him this time, but just glanced at the other party, and then said without any emotion in his tone.

"Xu Jin's strength mostly depends on the Dao soldiers under his command. At this time, his Dao soldiers are not around, and his strength cannot be fully displayed. You Kon, the lord of the Qi Kingdom, should also need to prepare!"

"The widows feel that the talents who can be favored by His Majesty Shenghuang must be extraordinary in strength. Besides, the two of them are fighting for the front with force, and one side brings the Taoist soldiers under his command. This seems unfair, so it is best to start now. Xu Jin did not With the help of the Taoist soldiers under his command, You Kong, the leader of the Qi Kingdom, did not have time to make too many preparations, so it would be more fair, what do you guys think?"

After listening to Shenghuang's words, the lord of the princes retorted again. After the other party said this, many lords of the princes present nodded their heads, especially those who wanted to watch the excitement. Of course they didn't want to wait any longer. It's best to start now.

Seeing the reactions of the princes and lords, Sheng Huang looked at You Kon, the lord of Qi, and seeing Sheng Huang's eyes on him, You Kon quickly glanced at Xu Jin, and then immediately saluted and said.

"The widow is willing to start competing with Xu Jin immediately!"

Of course, the Lord of the State of Qi, You Kun, knows Xu Jin's strength after leading the Taoist soldiers. Before Xu Jin's cultivation base did not reach the Jiming realm, he had few opponents. Now his strength will only become stronger. Let him deal with Xu Jin who is leading the Taoist soldiers , You Kong didn't have confidence in himself, and when dealing with Xu Jin who didn't have Taoist soldiers by his side, You Kong felt that there should be no problem with him, so of course he agreed without hesitation.

But You Kong agreed, Sheng Huang's eyes fell on Xu Jin again, and all the lords of the princes also looked at him again. Under the eyes of everyone, Xu Jin also spoke without hesitation at this time.

"I also agree to fight at this time!"
