Swallowing the Emperor

Chapter 485 Father and Son

A distance of five miles would take at least one cup of tea for an ordinary person, but for a middle-aged man, he only took a few steps to reach Mo Lin.

"You are Merlin?"

With a smile on his face, the middle-aged man looked Mo Lin up and down, with a curious look in his eyes.

"Developing the Molin Ranger, I have met His Majesty."

Mo Lin got off his horse and saluted. With his keen sense of consciousness, he found that the terrifying aura in the middle-aged man's body had completely disappeared, which aroused his vigilance even more.

"Wang Ba, since you still remember that you are a descendant of the Tianchi family, have you forgotten the etiquette of being a monarch and minister?" Shengzong's eyes fell on Wang Ba.

"The emperor has seen the father."

Wang Ba got off his horse and saluted Shengzong.

Shengzong nodded in satisfaction, looked at Wang Ba and said: "Actually, when I received the application for the title of Ranger, I should have thought that you were the one behind the scenes. The entire empire, and even the entire imperial family, were only you and me. Your teacher never forgets this title."

Wang Ba raised his head, and said slightly mockingly: "Father came to Piaoxue City in person, isn't it just to take a look at the monster son who was abandoned by you?"

"Is it not possible?" Shengzong asked with a smile.

Wang Ba sneered: "Back then in the empire, the Huayang Palace was only three hundred feet away from the East Palace, and my father hadn't walked a step further for three years. Now that my son is thousands of miles away, my father did not hesitate to come here in person. I am really flattered by my father. "

Sheng Zong said: "In the past, it was the father who was wrong and alienated you, mother and son, but since you were born in the emperor's family, you naturally know the rules and survival rules of the emperor's family. If the father gave you too much care, do you think you can live until now? "

The corner of Wang Ba's mouth twitched twice.What Shengzong said is the truth, Wang Ba is a useless person who cannot cultivate. If Shengzong really favors him, it will definitely arouse the jealousy of other princes. A darling who does not even have the ability to protect himself will definitely not live long in the imperial family of.

However, if Shengzong really wanted to protect him, who would dare to do it?In the final analysis, this statement still cannot withstand scrutiny, and there is no need to argue.

Shengzong said again: "The past is over. When I come to Piaoxue City this time, apart from wanting to see you and Mo Lin, the peerless genius who has been passed down as a myth in the empire, I have a few questions. I'll ask you face to face."

"Father, please ask."

Shengzong pondered slightly, and said: "If I hand over the culprit who assassinated you back then to you and let you handle it, would you like to return to the empire with me?"

As soon as these words came out, both Mo Lin and Wang Ba were stunned.

Not long ago, Wang Ba and Mo Lin said that the person who assassinated him was Tianchi Dongxue, the crown prince of the empire. The Holy Sect was willing to sacrifice the future heir to the throne for the sake of Wang Ba. Better than any other prince, including the crown prince?
Who in the world does not yearn for power? Children from aristocratic families have grown up in power games since they were young. The benefits of power are far more profound than ordinary people understand. Zhang Longyi fought hard, and Wang Ba grew up in the humiliation and ridicule since he was a child. No one is more eager than him to trample the people who humiliated him back then.

You are not joking, although Mo Lin is used to doubting everything and putting a question mark on anyone's words, but at this moment, he did not feel that Shengzong was lying to Wang Ba, because he had no need to deceive.

Emperor Shengzong, Tianchi Wild, was already a fourth-level Martial King when he ascended the throne. Now, a hundred years have passed, and no one knows about his true cultivation. Even Mo Lin couldn't see clearly after using Yin-Yang perspective. The moment he saw him, his intuition told Mo Lin that his cultivation was at least level seven Martial King.

If Emperor Shengzong really wanted to kill Wang Ba, even Mo Lin couldn't protect him.

Wang Ba smiled and shook his head: "If you said this a year ago, I might think about it, or I might be moved, but now, even if you hand over the entire empire to me, I won't back."

"Is it because you already have the Northern Man?" Shengzong asked with a smile, "I feel that with your efforts, the Northern Man can be built into a powerful empire that is not inferior to the Black Dragon, so..."

The implication is self-evident, Wang Ba already has a better choice, so why is there any reason to return to the empire?

"No matter how hard I try, even if there are ten overlords, it is impossible for the Northern Barbarians to be stronger than the Empire."

Wang Ba said very seriously.

"I believe you know this question better than me. There are many races in the Northern Man, and there are constant internal strife. In addition to the bad weather and lack of supplies, more than half of the herdsmen are still in a state of semi-starvation. Although the Northern Man is tough and brave, They are good at fighting, but no one can unite them, not me, nor the Meteorite Division!"

This is the Northern Man in Wang Ba's eyes, and it is also the Northern Man in the eyes of the people of the Black Dragon Empire. No matter how strong the Northern Man is, if the major tribes cannot unite together, they will never be able to break through the empire's defenses.

Emperor Shengzong sighed lightly: "It's not that I don't understand what you said, but what can you use to ensure that you have no ambitions for the empire? Can you really forget the hatred that your imperial brother plotted against you?"

Wang Badao: "I can't forget it. In my dreams, I wanted to kill him for revenge, but for the two peoples to live in peace, I would rather give up my personal wish. You should know that I have never had ambitions for the throne. I studied hard with a disabled body. The way of governing the country is just to prove that I am not a useless waste, just to let the mother in the palace no longer be bullied by others, you ask me what to use to ensure that I have no ambitions for the empire, do I put the only relative in the world Isn't it enough to stay in the empire?"

In Wang Ba's invitation for credit before, he did not deliberately hide his identity. In order to express his sincerity for peace, he was willing to keep his mother Concubine Hua in the empire as a hostage. Although he didn't say this explicitly, he believed that the Holy Sect should understand.

Shengzong was silent.

Looking at the son in front of him who he dislikes the least but who is undoubtedly the most talented in governing the country besides martial arts cultivation, he is very entangled in his heart.

In order to keep the empire forever, as the emperor, he has the responsibility to eradicate all hidden dangers that may threaten the empire.Including a rebellious son.

In the past 100 years, although Beiman went south many times, he was not worried that the empire's defense line would be breached. It was not until he received Molin's Black Dragon Scroll four months ago that he felt the crisis for the first time.

Even the four major kingdoms of the empire have colluded with the northern barbarians and have the desire to rebel, what else is impossible?

What surprised him even more was Mo Lin's astonishing performance. He actually occupied Piaoxue City miraculously, and the nineteenth prince who should have died three years ago became his most powerful assistant.

It was precisely because he knew too much about Wang Ba's ability to govern the country, and because the scene of Mo Lin's occupation of the Yelu family was too shocking, that Emperor Shengzong decided to go north quietly, wanting to see what kind of big man Mo Lin had. Can you quietly solve the biggest hidden danger that may threaten the empire in the future?

Now, after listening to Wang Ba's words, he knows that this talented nineteenth prince is not lying, and everything he does is for the mother who is still in the palace.

But if that's all, it's not enough.

Even if you don't have ambitions, who can guarantee that Mo Lin doesn't?Is there no Yelu family?
