Chapter 44: The Struggle for Imperial Power

"If you want to know how your father is doing, just grab your hand obediently, and don't resist. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

Although Sima Nan was confident that he would be able to capture Ling Hantian, he didn't want to make too much movement at this time, if he caught the attention of the big people in the Heavenly Xuanwu Academy, then the matter would be troublesome.

"You?!" Ling Hantian's eyes erupted with fire, Sima Nan actually used his father Ling Zhan to blackmail himself, which simply offended Ling Hantian's scales.

"Hmph," Sima Nan snorted coldly, and said with great mockery: "This official deprived you of the qualification to participate in the Thirty-Six Cities League, probably you naively thought that you could enter the Heavenly Xuanwu Academy through another way, I really don't know how your naivety has been maintained until now." ”

Sima Nan raised his head, seemed to dominate everything, and continued, "Besides, now that this official has evidence to prove that you beat a soldier of the law enforcement forbidden army, which is a serious crime in Tianxuan Kingdom, this official can once again deprive you of your qualification to participate in the entrance examination of the Martial Academy." ”

Sima Nan's voice was not loud, but it made many people around him hear it very clearly, and at the same time, everyone could also see that Ling Hantian and Sima Nan had old grudges.

Ling Hantian looked directly at Sima Nan, his eyes were about to split, and a trace of blood oozed from his clenched hands, this Sima Nan planned one after another, to force himself to a dead end, and cut off the future and hope of his martial arts.

And all of this was undoubtedly Ling Tianyang's intention.

"Sima Laogou, you deceive people too much!"

Ling Hantian was furious, his whole body was agitated, his clothes were windless, his hunting sounded, and his slightly thin body was as straight and straight as a Daguan knife.

"Ling Hantian, you can try to resist." Sima Nan glanced at Ling Hantian with disdain, and said casually: "According to the laws of the Heavenly Xuan Kingdom, if you dare to resist, this official has the right to directly kill you on the spot." ”

Ling Hantian's face turned red, and his body trembled slightly because of extreme anger!

Sima Nan, he is hard to beat!

But he could never be caught!

At this moment, a slightly old voice sounded in the crowd.

"Sima Nan, I don't know who gave you such the audacity to deliberately murder the quasi-disciples of the Heavenly Xuanwu Academy."

The next moment, Hua Ruoyuan, who was dressed in a plain robe, walked out with steady steps.

"Hua Ruoyuan?!" Sima Nan's body shook violently, turned around, and looked at Hua Ruoyuan, who was walking slowly, unable to hide the shock in his eyes.

"Ling Shaoxia is extremely talented, passing this Martial Academy's assessment must be a sure thing, do you know what the crime of murdering a disciple of the Martial Academy is?"

Hua Ruoyuan gave Ling Hantian a reassuring look, and then a big hat was buckled on Sima Nan's body.

"Martial Academy disciple?!" Sima Nan snorted disdainfully, suppressed the shock in his heart, and said: "This Ling Hantian is just one of the thousands of martial arts academy entry assessment contestants, whether he can pass the assessment or not, Taifu actually said that this Ling Hantian is a disciple of the martial academy, this is too unconvincing." ”

"Hmph, I'm afraid it's not that it's unconvincing, but you can't explain it to your master." Hua Ruoyuan replied coldly.

Sima Nan's face turned blue and purple for a while, obviously angry by Hua Ruoyuan's words, but the other party was a court prince, his official rank was far less than Hua Ruoyuan, and his strength was even more different, so he could only hold his anger in his heart.

But thinking of the support of King Yan, and Ling Tianyang, Sima Nan boldly said: "Taifu, there is evidence below that Ling Hantian openly beat the soldiers of the law enforcement forbidden army, such an evil behavior, if he is not severely punished, how can he convince the public, let's talk about it."

"Bold, you still dare to defy the old decay?"

Seeing that Sima Nan dared to continue arguing with himself, when the aura of the Taifu suddenly exploded, this cheer contained the coercion of the acquired master.

Suddenly, Sima Nan fell into an ice cellar, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

He had no doubt that if Hua Ruoyuan killed him now, then he would only die in vain, and it was impossible for King Yan to tear his face with Taifu Hua Ruoyuan right now for him.

Thinking of this, Sima Nan didn't dare to continue to speak, so he could only glance at Ling Hantian coldly, unabashedly killing him.

After Hua Ruoyuan appeared, Wen Shao also shrank his neck, lowered his head, and didn't dare to look at Hua Ruoyuan.

Although his father is the commander of the forbidden army, compared with the current dynasty, it is still too far behind.

It's just that he didn't understand at all in his heart why Taifu Hua Ruoyuan wanted to stand up for Ling Hantian.

Judging from the information given by Ling Tianyang, the Ling family had nothing to do with the great forces of Tianxuan City, let alone had anything to do with an acquired level master like Hua Ruoyuan.

There is also Sima Nan who has this doubt, but he can only put this doubt aside for the time being, he can't leave, he has to keep an eye on Ling Hantian's every move.

Hua Ruoyuan ignored Sima Nan and the others, and beckoned to Ling Hantian, Ling Hantian hesitated, and then walked over with the Daguan knife on his back and heavy steps.

Seeing that Ling Hantian was carrying a heavy knife of several hundred catties on his back, his steps were not messy at all, and every step was very smooth, Hua Ruoyuan's eyes flashed with appreciation.

"Senior, today's matter, the younger generation owes you a favor."

Ling Hantian is a person with clear grievances, and today it is indeed Hua Ruoyuan who resolved a big crisis for him, and he has already endured this favor.

"Hehe, Ling Shaoxia, you are serious."

Hua Ruoyuan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Ling Shaoxia, your father is safe for the time being, you can go to the assessment with peace of mind, and the old man is looking forward to you shining in the martial arts academy assessment and making a splash." ”

"Senior, I don't know where my father Ling Zhan is now, how is he doing?" Hearing Hua Ruoyuan mention Ling Zhan, Ling Hantian couldn't help but feel a tense in his heart, and hurriedly asked.

Seeing that Ling Hantian was so nervous, Hua Ruoyuan said with a serious face: "Your father Ling Zhan is temporarily trapped in the dungeon of the Ling family in Tianyan City, and his life is not in danger. ”

"Trapped in the Ling family's dungeon?!" What is the situation in the dungeon of Ling Hantian's house, Ling Hantian is very clear, even if his father is not in danger of his life for the time being, the situation will definitely not be too good.

Needless to say, this must have been done by the three elders, but fortunately, his father Ling Zhan was only trapped in the dungeon now, and his life was not in danger.

It seems that the ancestor of the Ling family did not lie to himself, it should be that he stepped forward to leave his father's life.

Seeing Ling Hantian fall into deep thought, Hua Ruoyuan said loudly: "Ling Shaoxia, Ling Zun's situation may be tied to you alone, if Ling Shaoxia can get good results in the martial arts academy assessment, the old man is willing to come forward and let Ling Zun escape the suffering of the dungeon." ”

"The seniors are willing to come forward?!" Hearing Hua Ruoyuan's words, Ling Hantian raised his head violently and stared at Hua Ruoyuan, thinking quickly in his brain.

If a strong person in the Acquired Realm comes forward, the entire Tianyan City will bow down, and it is definitely a simple matter to let his father get out of the Ling family's dungeon!

Thinking of this, Ling Hantian's eyes became hot!

"By now, Ling Shaoxia should be able to see that behind Sima Nan is King Yan, and behind the decay is the crown prince of the dynasty."

Hua Ruoyuan explained: "King Yan is strong, most of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are descendants of King Yan, and he has won the support of Ling Tianyang. ”

"You and Ling Tianyang are on the same page, and the old man also knows that your goal is to defeat Ling Tianyang, if Ling Shaoxia can defeat Ling Tianyang, then King Yan will have a big lack of help."

"Ling Tianyang's influence has reached the point where he can influence the prince?" Hearing Hua Ruoyuan's words, Ling Hantian found it hard to believe that Ling Tianyang, who was less than twenty years old, had already reached such a level of influence.

Hua Ruoyuan shook his head and sighed, "If it's just Ling Tianyang, it's not so serious. ”

"The point is that there seems to be a mysterious powerhouse standing behind him, so the old man hopes that Ling Shaoxia can defeat Ling Tianyang in the Tianxuan Martial Academy, so that King Yan's influence in the Tianxuan Kingdom will inevitably be seriously affected."

"Senior, since there is such a strong man standing behind Ling Tianyang, then you have so much confidence in the next generation?" Ling Hantian still didn't quite believe Hua Ruoyuan's intentions, and couldn't help but say tentatively.

"Hey," Hua Ruoyuan sighed and said, "The old man is in his position, he can only do his best, as for the destiny of heaven, it is not something that the old man can peep into." ”

Ling Hantian frowned, he had inadvertently been involved in the battle for imperial power in the Tianxuan Kingdom.

Regardless of whether this is good or bad for him, as long as Hua Ruoyuan can fulfill his promise and rescue his father from the Ling family's prison, it will all be worth it!

It was also at this time that the assessment of the Heavenly Xuanwu Academy had officially begun.
