Chapter 14 The Identity of the Fairy

Of course he knew how difficult it was to meet Qin Emperor, and it was even more difficult to reach the sky if he wanted to convince Qin Emperor to form an alliance. After all, with the power of Qin, there were countless targets to form an alliance with him. Cai, Wu and Yue were also among them, but he just passed the Three Kingdoms and joined forces with Da Chu, and Fang Ling played a role in it was absolutely crucial.

He was very pleased and praised for the first time in history: "Ling'er, you have worked so hard. My father must reward you well!"

Hearing Fang Hongtian's praise, Queen Song frowned fiercely, and her beautiful face showed a bit of hideousness.

Fang Ling looked at his father calmly, without any disturbance in his heart. Although he only met his father twice, perhaps because of his blood connection, he could easily see through his father's thoughts.

If he had been before, he would have sneered and looked down upon it. However, now Fang Ling is about to enter the path of immortality, and the golden elixir is shattered, and the worldly affairs will eventually go. The scars that were unable to be peaceful in the past were as faint as smoke and dust. He said calmly: "This is what my son should do, and my son will not ask for any reward."

Seeing him so humble and polite, Fang Hongtian couldn't help but say joyfully: "Okay, this is the mind that a prince should have. He does not seek rewards, but just to be worthy of the people's livelihood. However, not rewarding is not the way to be an emperor." He hesitated for a moment and smiled, "In the past, Shicheng belonged to Bingzhou. You made great contributions in the Eight Kings Rebellion. Now that you can convince the Qin Emperor to make a contract, I will give you the land of Bingzhou and grant you the King of Bingzhou!"

When this was said, everyone was shocked. Although it was not surprising that the vassal states were granted to a state for all dynasties, whether it was Yizhou or Dongzhou, the territory of states such as states was actually very small. However, Bingzhou was a large land in the north of Chu State, not only several times that of Yizhou, but also had fertile land and abundant people's livelihood. Such a great reward directly improved Fang Ling's status.

It was just the emperor's words and the words of the golden words. Even if Empress Song was uneasy, she could not make trouble. She was so angry that her fists were clenched tightly. Xue Zhiqiu and others were extremely excited. From a king of a city to a king of a state, this was a qualitative leap, and it was simply the best road to becoming an emperor.

Fang Ling knelt down calmly and thanked him. Fang Hongtian tapped his finger gently and stood up and said, "Today's banquet is here. I want to discuss the alliance with the Duke of Liao in person."

All the court officials stood up one after another. Of course, they knew that the situation was serious and would be troublesome if there were any changes. Then, Fang Hongtian summoned a group of important officials and called Shang Fang Ce, and then prepared to call Shang Fangling.

Queen Song was not willing to let Fang Ling show off again, and said with concern: "Your Majesty, King Bingzhou travels to Qin State, and his carriages are exhausted, so he should let him take a break. Anyway, the details of the alliance also require many negotiations, so there is no rush to be a moment."

Fang Ling smiled faintly, of course he could see Song Huangyi's intentions, but he did have his own affairs, not to mention that the alliance was a foregone conclusion. As for how the interests of the two countries were, it depends on how capable his father was, but at least Qin would not ask too much, so he said, "Father, my son-in-law also want to go and have a rest."

Because Fang Hongtian wanted to form an alliance with Qin and restore his prestige, Fang Ling naturally looked at him differently and said with great consideration: "Okay, then you can go to Chaoyang Palace to rest."

When everyone in the Nantian Palace dispersed, leaving Empress Song and Cui Yixuan alone. Empress Song had already applied a layer of frost on her face, and slapped her on the golden chair, and said viciously: "Damn it, it's so hateful. Everything is perfect, but the King of Stone City actually used such a trick!"

Cui Yixuan couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "Although he is an opponent, I have to praise him for being a good player. His eyesight is really admirable, just like knowing our plan."

Queen Song was extremely unhappy and glanced at him and said, "Mr. Cui, when is this time? Are you still praising your opponent? Do you know that Your Majesty obviously has the intention to value him and has already been named King of Bingzhou. Who knows if he will give him the position of prince?"

Cui Yi chose to right his face and said, "Empress is too worried. Do you still know your majesty's temperament? Your majesty values ​​friendship and Concubine Su broke his heart back then, so no matter how much he valued the King of Bingzhou, he would not be able to deprive the prince of his position. However, the King of Bingzhou has made a great reputation with the Eight Kings Rebellion and the current contract. There are probably many ministers in the court who support him. In addition, his power in the north will increase in the future, it will indeed be a threat to His Highness the Prince."

A trace of murderous intent flashed in Queen Song's eyes, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Then he will never be able to return to Bingzhou!"

Cui Yixuan was secretly surprised and immediately understood and said, "Can the Queen meant..."

Queen Song said coldly: "He thought he was good at this move, but the mistake was that he had a high opinion of himself. He entered the imperial city alone. Perhaps because he was respected by His Majesty, he could rest assured, but he forgot that with this palace, how could he threaten the status of the emperor! I let him die in the palace!"

Seeing Empress Song say this, Cui Yixuan couldn't help but worry, "Empress, this is not a good idea. Although the palace is the world of the Empress, if the King of Bingzhou dies here, it will be difficult for people to not be suspicious. If it is Your Majesty..."

Queen Song smiled strangely and said, "So what if Your Majesty doubts? He didn't suspect that Concubine Su was innocent, but what if the result? Concubine Su stayed in the cold palace for sixteen years!"

How smart Cui Yixuan was, he could hear the strangeness at once. Only then did he realize that the incident happened back then was done by the queen, but since he was with the queen, he would naturally say something. What's more, getting rid of Fang Ling was indeed a good way to do it once and for all.

Empress Song shouted outside: "Cao Wenzhong, come in."

Cao Wenzhong hurried in and listened to Empress Song's orders: "Let me find a few confidants, stare at the King of Bingzhou, find the right opportunity to get rid of him."

Cao Wenzhong was shocked and said nervously: "Empress, the cultivation level of King Bingzhou is very high, it is simply unfathomable. Just a few people are afraid that it will be difficult to deal with."

Queen Song scolded coldly: "Looking at your bear, there is no way you look like an imperial commander? Could that kid scares you out of fear? Even if you are scared, you have to take off his head for me. A few are not enough, only dozens, and dozens are not enough, only hundreds. In short, he will never be allowed to leave the imperial city alive!"

Cao Wenzhong shivered and had to claim yes and pluck him courage. He thought about it carefully, yes, although the King of Shicheng was of high cultivation, the real power should be the five followers around him. Those few people seemed even more unfathomable. Perhaps he was frightened by those five people at that time, so he felt that King of Shicheng was also very terrifying.

Now that he has entered the palace alone, he has hundreds of confidant imperial guards, and he is afraid that he will not find a chance to kill him? Thinking of this, Cao Wenzhong suddenly became more confident.

Just when Empress Song and the other two were plotting to assassinate Fang Ling, Fang Ling had already arrived in the forbidden area of ​​the imperial city - Taimiao.

The Taimiao is composed of several towering halls, with white marble above the tabletops, golden nanmu wrapped around the beams and red gold pasted outside the hall. It is mainly used to worship the ancestors of the royal family, and also stores important information about the children of the royal family in the past dynasties. Although the officials of the Taimiao are not of high rank, this is not a place where ordinary officials can come.

Fang Ling and Qin envoys returned to the palace together, and the news that the emperor had named Bingzhou King was passed on fire inside and outside the palace. When the officials of the Taimiao saw Fang Ling coming, they were too late to greet him, so there were no questions. When they heard him say they wanted to check some information, they hurriedly led him into the hall.

From birth to death, every child of the royal family experienced major and minor affairs were recorded by exclusive officials of the palace, and kept in the back cover and passed down from generation to generation. The records of each child of the royal family were enough to pile up a bookcase, so the hall where information was piled up was very spacious, with a total of seventeen compartments. There was a stone path behind the compartment leading to the basement, which stored the royal materials after the founding of the country three hundred years ago.

Fang Ling was almost convinced that the woman who left Jiexian Dagger and Cun Ding was the royal family of the Chu family. According to the matter, it should be from three hundred years ago, so he opened the information of the royal family and checked it carefully.

Among the royal families in all dynasties, there were a large number of royal children who had no chance to become crown princes, and many people regarded becoming disciples of the immortals as their main way out. First, the children of the royal family themselves have high qualifications, and second, as the royal family, the Tianshi Master of the State, will give him some thin faces. Therefore, over the past three hundred years, some royal children have become people in the immortals.

However, because the woman was not practicing the unique skills of Changfeng Sect, Fang Ling's search was not limited to the disciples of the Immortal Sect, but did not let any royal woman go.

Not long after, he opened a yellowed book and was suddenly shocked. There was a portrait in the book. It was a girl of five or six years old who looked well-behaved and clever, but his eyes and lips were like fairies in white.

Fang Ling sighed secretly, and was overjoyed. He quickly turned back and found that the woman was named Chu Yao, the third daughter of the founding emperor. When the founding emperor was still an old minister of the Song Dynasty, Chu Yao was taken to the Immortal Sect by the Zhenguo Tianshi of the Song Dynasty at the age of five, and became a disciple of Changfeng Sect because of her extraordinary talent.

In the middle of the booklet is a portrait of her when she returned to the imperial city from the Immortal Sect when she was sixteen years old. When she saw this portrait, Fang Ling concluded that this woman was the fairy in white. This can also explain why the Cun Ding she refined in the Imperial Mausoleum of Xiaowu. However, the only thing he did not expect was that Chu Yao was actually a disciple of Changfeng Sect, so why did she have a sect of other sects?
