Chapter 352 Life and Death | Past and New(1/2)
Emperor Xueye was quite satisfied with Lu Yuan's performance today, and the empire would definitely make more friends with such a strong man in the future.
With a marquis title and a small town in the southwest border, it is a very good deal to befriend a strong man who will almost definitely become a titled Douluo in the future.
He smiled slightly, faced all the people in the Great Soul Fighting Arena, and continued, "To celebrate this championship, I hereby make an announcement!"
"To show that our Tiandou Empire is prosperous in martial arts and that its talents are serving their lives, the whole country will celebrate and the whole world will rejoice from today. I hereby grant a general amnesty to the world. All prisoners who have committed non-heinous crimes will have their sentences reduced by ten years, and those who commit minor crimes will be exempted!
Three years of Ding tax, land tax reduced by 10%, commercial tax exempted by 30%!”
Suddenly, everyone in the audience became excited. In fact, everyone had known for a long time that Emperor Xueye intended to grant amnesty and reduce taxes because of his victory.
But this kind of amnesty and tax reduction promulgated to celebrate the championship must be announced at the championship celebration.
So before this, no one knew the specific amnesty and tax reduction plan.
Now that they heard Emperor Xueye's decree, everyone became excited.
"Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!" I don't know who took the lead. All the nobles and ordinary people in the Great Soul Fighting Arena stood up one after another. Although they could not kneel down, they half-bowed their bodies.
shouted in unison.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan had no choice but to kneel down on one knee with the other team members and shouted together, "Long live your Majesty!"
"It's fifteen years old! Tsk tsk." Honak said with a smile, "Fifteen years old, you are really young. I really don't understand, let a fifteen-year-old boy take care of us?"
He is in his forties, and although he has not experienced the war between the two empires, he has also participated in local counter-insurgency incidents, and he also has the cultivation of the Soul Sect!
"Then what are you planning to do here sneaking around?" Barnaby asked with a smile.
His face became more and more ugly. The minister came up and whispered a few words in his ear, but he shook his head gently.
"The defeats in the past two competitions, I know, have caused many young talents in our Tiandou Empire to lose their self-confidence and feel that we are inferior to others and inferior to the Spirit Hall."
But Lu Yuan couldn't let go for a while.
He didn't even have time to know the good news that Lu Yuan led the team to win the championship.
Wait...why does this voice sound so strange?
Lu Qing and Mana already knew about this matter, and they could not tell them about it until they returned to Tiandou City.
"And below, let Lord Bone Douluo continue to speak!"
"Me?" Lu Yuan smiled softly and took out a token.
Then Emperor Xueye's face suddenly turned as pale as gold paper. Upon seeing this, the ministers on the left and right hurriedly stepped forward to support him steadily in a way that was so subtle that no one could see it.
Hornak jumped up at this time, but when he turned around and saw that it was Barnaby, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Are you going to scare me to death?"
"I hope so." He said calmly, "If you think you are not wrong, that's good."
How could this be a forgery or something that could be stolen?
"But I remember, isn't Lu Yuan very strong? He is praised by Thunder Douluo as the number one in the Ten Thousand Years Heavenly Dou." Barnaby frowned and said, "Although he is fifteen years old, he is already the Soul Emperor!"
Second grandfather Lu Wu passed away peacefully, just in the month when they went to Wuhun City to compete.
Bone Douluo stood up with a smile at this time. His two-meter-tall skeleton-like body and appearance made many children present a little scared.
But his words were obviously meant to be sarcastic.
"That's right! What happens next? Don't you know? His Majesty personally conferred the title of Lord of Heavenly Shadow on the genius soul master Lu Yuan who won the championship, and joined our Royal Knights as a general to lead an army!"
The host laughed awkwardly, "Lord Thunder Douluo said it very well. He told us not to do evil and not to bully others. He is very right!"
Lu Yuan saw that his face was getting paler and his body felt like he was about to collapse!
"The Heaven Dou Empire will last forever! May the martial arts prosper!" The ordinary spectators present seemed not to notice the strange behavior of Emperor Xue Ye, and shouted in unison.
Barnaby was stunned for a moment, "Tianyinghou? Lu Yuan? General?"
Emperor Xue Ye on the side frowned tightly, but there was nothing he could do. He really couldn't do anything to Yu Yuanzhen.
At the same time, Lu Yuan also saw Dugu Bo quickly following Emperor Xue Ye's team.
Obviously, the toxins in Emperor Xueye's body rioted because of his excitement just now.
The emcee immediately understood and shouted, "This celebration is over! Please leave in an orderly manner and do not..."
"But recently, General Cha rarely comes to inspect our division. And don't you know what major events happened in the empire a few days ago?"
"This is what we are discussing." Honak said immediately, "Do you know how old Lu Yuan is this year?"
The handsome face of the figure is evil and awe-inspiring, with a smile, which makes it look even more evil. The owner of this handsome face seems to be somewhere between a boy and a young man, but in his immaturity, he seems to have a look that is not inferior to that of a middle-aged person.
human maturity.
"Did you hear that?"
He actually knew that if he tried to force Lu Yuan here, the two old guys from the Qibao Glazed Sect would definitely take action.
Hornak, Barnaby and others suddenly reacted and looked towards the place where the sound came from.
"He doesn't understand anything. If he doesn't please us then! We'll make him suffer a little!"
"Hahahaha!" Emperor Xueye laughed proudly when he saw this.
After several days, the two brothers and sisters were like puppets with no sorrow or joy, practicing, practicing, practicing.
Yu Yuanzhen's tone was calm, and no mocking tone could be heard.
Most of the senior officers of the Royal Knights have aristocratic backgrounds.
All I can feel is that my heart is cold.
But the second grandfather passed away suddenly. It is actually a normal thing for an old man with no cultivation to die suddenly.
"Okay! I've finished my words." Bone Douluo said with a smile.
The chamberlain suggested that he go back to the palace to rest, but he refused.
But life still had to go on, and Lu Qingqing continued to go back to Tiandou Royal Academy.
Finally, one day came, Lu Qingqing burst into tears.
"Don't you know?" Honak laughed and said, "Our 10th Division of the Royal Knights has just established a new division, and it has never been directly under the general general. It is General Cha Xiangtai of the 9th Division who is also in charge of it.
Arrange more training.”
Barnaby looked over and saw the voice of his comrade in the same division, Honak, who was chatting with several other commander-level noncommissioned officers.
"Eat some hardship? What hardship?" At this moment, a voice with a smile rang out.
"But this year's victory tells those young talents who are interested in participating in the continent-wide high-level soul master competition that the talented soul masters in our Tiandou Empire are no worse than those in the Star Luo Empire and Wuhun Palace!"
They saw a figure who was so young that they were jealous, standing at the door of the camp, looking at them with a smile.
They did not doubt the authenticity of the token because the person holding the token looked too young, after all...
Yu Yuanzhen paused, "We should use the most powerful generation of genius soul masters in the past ten thousand years! Especially you, Lu Yuan."
Lu Yuan immediately took a deep breath, and then shouted, "I am the new general of the empire - Tianyinghou Lu Yuan! All the commanders of the ten divisions must obey the order! All gathered in the command camp of the forty-ninth division of the tenth division! Within one minute
Those who didn’t arrive will be responsible for the consequences!”
Barnaby was stunned for a moment, "What big thing could it be? I remember it was just our empire winning the continental high-level soul master competition, right?"
Lu Yuan, on the other hand, returned to the academy with Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, Yan Zhuyin, and the Shi brothers, and officially left Tiandou Royal Academy in the solemn and joyful graduation ceremony of the academy.
Barnaby trembled when he saw the token.
"Of course, let him be an empty-headed general and let everyone disobey his orders and see what he does!" Honak said proudly.
"So what about the Soul Emperor? Apart from being better at cultivation, he doesn't know anything else?" Honak said carelessly, "Can he command an army? Does he know how to train ordinary soldiers? Does he know what the orders in the army are?"
This is the identity token of the Royal Knights, and the token in Lu Yuan's hand represents his identity as a general!
Several commanders at the scene were trembling. They were not that stupid, thinking that the token was forged or stolen.
"I'm scary now, but when the time comes to the battlefield, you're going to be so scared that you wet your pants." Barnaby laughed at him fiercely.
The joy of winning the championship was completely washed away at this moment, and it was the same for Lu Qingqing.
Lu Yuan also shed tears silently from the corners of his eyes.
"How much? It shouldn't be more than twenty-five years old, right?" Barnaby vaguely remembered that the age limit for the continent-wide senior soul master competition is under twenty-five years old.
"Thank you, senior!" Lu Yuan quickly clasped his hands and said humbly.
There are sorrows and joys, these are the imperfect things that run through life...
At this time, after hearing Yu Yuanzhen's words, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo sitting on the stage were all stunned for a moment.
Lu Yuan chuckled, seemingly losing his previous restraint and returning to his true nature at this moment.
He walked over and put his arm on Honak's shoulder, "What are you talking about?"
Although Honak was born into a noble family, he has real strength in climbing to his current leadership position.
As the celebration ended, Lu Yuan and others also left the Great Soul Fighting Arena and returned to their respective homes.
The True Dragon Nine Crowns is a desperate secret technique and cannot be used like this.
Afterwards, Yu Yuanzhen waved his sleeves and returned to his seat, where the old god closed his eyes and rested.
