"Father, please don't say that. Since I came to Tianzhou, you and my adoptive mother have helped me a lot. Brother Xu Dao died in vain. As my adopted brother, I should seek justice for him."
"All of this is what I should do."
The words Zhang Yifeng said were not polite words, but words from the bottom of his heart.
Since his rebirth, apart from the confidantes and friends on Earth who made him feel warm, the only people who brought him warmth in Lingyue Continent were Xu Nantian and his wife, Qiu Lin and others.
Although Xu Nantian regarded him as his adopted son due to an accident of his illness, in his heart, he had already regarded Xu Nantian as his adopted father.
Everything he did was done willingly and without any interest factors.
Hearing Zhang Yifeng's words, a happy smile appeared in Xu Nantian's eyes. Recognizing Zhang Yifeng as his adopted son was the most glorious thing he had ever done in his life.
Qiu Lin looked at Zhang Yifeng from the side with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
If Qiu Xue can marry such an outstanding person like Zhang Yifeng, it will indeed be a blessing for Qiu Xue to cultivate for the rest of her life.
The only thing that gave him a headache was that judging from Zhang Yifeng's previous experience with Qiu Xue, Zhang Yifeng didn't seem to have that kind of interest in Qiu Xue, which made Qiu Lin feel a little worried.
Although his daughter is very good, compared with Zhang Yifeng, she is inevitably much inferior.
The most important thing is that an outstanding person like Zhang Yifeng will not lack outstanding women around him. Under the huge pressure of competition, his daughter Qiu Xue does not have much advantage.
Thinking of this, Qiu Lin smiled bitterly and shook his head.
It seems that after he goes back, he will have to beat Qiu Xue hard, and Zhang Yifeng must become his son-in-law Qiu Lin.
Zhang Yifeng didn't know at this time that because of Qiu Lin's split-second decision, there would be many twists and turns between him and Qiu Xue in the future.
After chatting with Xu Nantian for a while, Zhang Yifeng looked at Qiu Lin.
"Uncle Qiu, King of Dali, what kind of person is he?" Zhang Yifeng suddenly asked.
Qiu Lin was stunned for a moment, and then asked with some confusion: "Xiannephew, why do you suddenly ask this question?"
Zhang Yifeng took a deep breath. Neither Qiu Lin nor Xu Nantian were outsiders, so he told them his doubts and guesses.
After listening to Zhang Yifeng's words, Qiu Lin frowned tightly, and Xu Nantian was also deep in thought.
After a long time, Qiu Lin came back from his contemplation and said, "My dear nephew, do you think there is a hidden reason behind His Majesty's choice to compromise with us this time?"
Zhang Yifeng nodded and said: "That Wang Yanzhao is just the deputy commander of the king's personal guards. His strength itself is not the strongest. You also said before that the most powerful among the king's personal guards should be the commander of the personal guards.
, but the strange thing is that when Wang Yanzhao was defeated, the king had no intention of letting his personal guards lead him, which is obviously abnormal. "
Although he only met King Dali for the first time, he felt that a king like King Dali would not easily give in to others, especially when the trump card had not yet been revealed.
Moreover, he had a vague feeling in his heart that there must be a super master behind such a large kingdom. Otherwise, in this cruel continent, it would be impossible for the Dali Kingdom to have long-term peace and stability.
Perhaps, the commander of the bodyguard is not the most powerful person in the Dali Kingdom.
When he was in the Zijin Hall before, Zhang Yifeng was surprised to find that he couldn't see through King Dali at all. There seemed to be a layer of fog on the other party's body, preventing him from prying.
When Qiu Lin heard Zhang Yifeng's words, he was silent for a long time, and then said: "Listening to what you said, His Majesty's reaction today is indeed a bit abnormal."
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Yifeng's heart moved and he quickly asked.
Qiu Lin took a deep breath and said: "Everyone knows that there are nine princes in the Dali Kingdom. Among the nine princes, there are three princes whose status is higher than the other six princes. My dear nephew, you can understand why we people can
Become a prince of the kingdom?"
Zhang Yifeng's expression changed and he asked: "Aren't you the princes who have made great contributions to the kingdom?"
After listening to Zhang Yifeng's words, Qiu Lin nodded first, then shook his head and said, "What you just said is right or wrong."
Perhaps seeing the doubts in Zhang Yifeng's eyes, Qiu Lin did not sell out, but immediately said: "Brother Xu, I and nine other people were enfeoffed as princes. It is indeed because of their great merits, but this merit has never been
Strictly speaking, it is not for the Kingdom of Dali, but for His Majesty."
When Zhang Yifeng heard this, a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.
"You mean that your Majesty's ability to sit on the throne has a lot to do with you?"
Qiulin nodded, with a look of approval in his eyes, and then said: "Yes, when His Majesty was not the king, he was also an ordinary prince, and among all the princes, he was the least conspicuous.
At that time, when the old king was about to expire, the princes fought for the throne, and it can be said that they were very violent, even to the point of killing each other."
Having said this, Qiulin paused and continued: "But they all made a major mistake. Do you know what this mistake is?"
Hearing Qiu Lin's words, Zhang Yifeng pondered slightly and said, "They must have ignored the current king, right?"
"That's right."
Qiu Lin nodded and said: "In terms of qualifications, His Majesty is not as good as his other brothers, but in terms of scheming and government, his brothers combined cannot compare to him."
"When the late king was still here, other princes were busy forming cliques and fighting with each other. Only Your Majesty, on the surface, he seemed to have nothing to do and was idle all day long. But in fact, when he was a teenager,
He has been secretly cultivating his own power."
Zhang Yifeng's eyes narrowed. He did not expect that the current King of Dali would have such a past.
"Are you and your adoptive father part of the forces he cultivated?" Zhang Yifeng asked thoughtfully.
Qiu Lin nodded and said, "Yes, it's not just Brother Xu and I, the other seven princes are all members of the forces cultivated by His Majesty himself. At that time, His Majesty was still in his infancy, so he kept a low profile and bided his time.
The brothers naturally look down upon him, so no one takes him seriously."
"But they never imagined that the person they looked down upon the most would become the ultimate winner."
