"Aotian, were you attacked? Are you injured?" Liu Dingguo entered the living room and looked at Nangong Aotian and asked.
"I'm not injured." Nangong Aotian said, "But Phoenix is injured."
"Who did it? It couldn't be my two brothers." Liu Dingguo frowned and thought for a while, "They will never be so reckless now."
"No." Nangong Aotian shook his head and said, "They are from the Lion Empire."
"Them?" Liu Dingguo frowned. "They would actually attack you?"
"I think they want to kill me." Nangong Aotian said with a sneer.
"I think they already know that you are commanding operations on the border, and this time you have defeated the three youngest masters in their empire. Let them feel that once you grow up, you will definitely be a very big threat to them.
So I want to get rid of you before you grow up.|”
"I think so." Nangong Aotian said.
"You called me here because you have something to tell me, right?" Liu Dingguo paused for a while before saying.
"Tomorrow morning, when His Majesty the Emperor has finished his morning session, tell the Second Prince about my assassination. Just say that I don't know who the murderer was and that I was saved." Nangong Aotian said, "Of course you were not present at the specific situation.
So you don’t know much.”
"Okay. Is this what I'll tell him?" Liu Dingguo said simply.
"Your Majesty must have been a lot nicer to you recently, right? I should give you a lot of things to do, right?" Nangong Aotian said with a smile.
"How do you know?" Liu Dingguo asked in surprise, "But my father didn't face me in front of many people. He always sent people to find me secretly."
"Didn't you notice that I am growing very fast now?" Nangong Aotian said with a smile, "The status of Duke, the rights of legion commander, and the territory of Holy Dragon City, I would not be able to obtain these without His Majesty's permission.
"
"What do you mean!!!" Liu Dingguo felt excited.
"Of course His Majesty the Emperor knows about my relationship with the Dongfang Family. His Majesty the Emperor also knows Huangfu Jun's reaction well after thinking about it." Nangong Aotian said with a smile, "Now that I have been granted a marriage by His Majesty the Emperor, you think these are very important.
Is it simple?”
"Although I have thought about it, I still can't believe it." Liu Dingguo couldn't help but be excited.
"I think some of the things your two brothers have done have touched His Majesty's bottom line. No emperor wants his successor to cooperate with extremely ambitious and dangerous elements. Although I am also related to Xiaoyao Sect, Xiaoyao Sect is a
The reclusive sect has never been interested in power struggles. Relatively speaking, our actions are the most recognized by His Majesty." Nangong Aotian thought for a while and said.
"Then what should I do next?" Liu Dingguo looked at Nangong Aotian with excitement.
"It's very simple. You know that I was attacked and I was very angry. If you want to get a chance to investigate this matter, that's it." Nangong Aotian said with a smile, "I think His Majesty will definitely know what to do next."
"Will Father let me investigate this matter?" Liu Dingguo asked doubtfully.
"Haha, it shouldn't be." Nangong Aotian said with a smile, "You only need to learn to master the household department. You can ignore other things for the time being."
"Is the household department so important?" Liu Dingguo looked at Nangong Aotian in confusion.
"The Ministry of Revenue is very important, but what is more important is whether you can get the support of Ouyang Cong. With his support, at least one-third of the civil servants in the court will support you." Nangong Aotian said with a smile.
After all, he is the prime minister and is in charge of the staff."
"Okay, since you said so, I'll just do it." Liu Dingguo thought for a while and said, "Besides, I don't have more energy to do more things now."
"By the way, Your Highness." Nangong Aotian thought for a while and said, "I still have something I need your help with."
"Haha, you can just call me Brother Liu. There is no need to worry about identity between us." Liu Dingguo said with a smile, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Can you help me find some magic crystal cores? Eighth-level magic crystal cores." Nangong Aotian said.
"You need money?" Liu Dingguo stared at Nangong Aotian, "Didn't my father just give you five million purple gold coins?"
"It's not that I need money, I need a magic crystal core. An eighth-level magic crystal core." Nangong Aotian said.
"What do you want that thing for?" Liu Dingguo asked doubtfully, "Do you want to refine a spiritual weapon?"
"It is of great use, and you will naturally know it in the future." Nangong Aotian said with a smile, "This matter is very important. Not only does it require the eighth-level magic crystal core, but Jin Mu said that it also needs all kinds of fire and earth."
"Okay. Let me help you collect them." Liu Dingguo thought for a while and said, "Although there are not many eighth-level magic crystals, they are not too few. After all, in addition to refining spiritual weapons and arranging some formations, these things do other things.
It doesn’t seem to be very useful.”
"Haha, no matter what method you use, just do your best to collect it for me." Nangong Aotian didn't explain much.
"That's no problem." Liu Dingguo said immediately, "You'd better tell me about the situation of your attack first, so that I can tell my father about it then."
"Yes." Nangong Aotian nodded and said, "You said there were seven people who assassinated me, and they were all above the martial arts level. Phoenix was seriously injured, but he is fine now. Also, you said all the assassins were killed.
Of course it was not us who killed them, but the unidentified people we met who helped us."
"What kind of strength is the person who assassinated you?" Liu Dingguo looked at Nangong Aotian and said.
"Four martial spirits, three martial masters." Nangong Aotian said, "Obviously they want to kill me."
"Did you really kill them all?" Liu Dingguo looked shocked. "How is this possible?"
"Haha, I have some special weapons, that's why I did it." Nangong Aotian didn't explain much.
"How is Miss Phoenix's injury?" Liu Dingguo asked.
"It's no longer a serious problem." Nangong Aotian said.
"That's good." Liu Dingguo breathed a sigh of relief and took out two purple jade bottles. "I have two eighth-level elixirs here. They are both holy medicines for healing. Why don't you take them first."
"That's good. Although we won't need it this time, it's still necessary to prepare two." Nangong Aotian took it over without politeness.
"Then I'll go back first. I'll come back after tomorrow morning." Liu Dingguo thought for a while and said.
"Forget it tomorrow, come back the day after tomorrow if you have time. I have nothing else to do here." Nangong Aotian said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll go back first." Liu Dingguo stood up after finishing speaking.
"Okay." Nangong Aotian saw that it was already very late and stopped trying to persuade him.
After Liu Dingguo left, Nangong Aotian arrived at the door of Dongfang Phoenix's boudoir again.
"Phoenix." Nangong Aotian called softly.
The door opened quickly. It was Yu Lingshuang who opened the door.
"I'm fine." Dongfang Phoenix was still leaning on the bed. Two little monsters were playing on her bed.
"It's fine." Nangong Aotian nodded and said, "Ling Shuang, why don't you go back and rest first, it's already getting late."
"I will sleep with Sister Fenghuang today." Yu Lingshuang said softly.
"That's fine." Nangong Aotian thought for a moment and said, "Don't rest too late at night."
"I understand, go and have a rest." Dongfeng Phoenix nodded quickly.
"I still have something to tell you." Nangong Aotian pulled Yu Lingshuang and sat on Dongfang Phoenix's bed.
"You are really in great danger today." Nangong Aotian glanced at Yu Lingshuang and Dongfang Phoenix and said, "But I am very depressed about what happened today."
"What?" Dongfang Phoenix looked at Nangong Aotian with a puzzled look, but Yu Lingshuang seemed to have guessed what Nangong Aotian was going to say. His face was a little rosy and he slowly lowered his head.
"The magic spirit gun I gave you is for self-defense. If you saw someone attacking you today, you should have thought of using it." Nangong Aotian frowned and said, "The magic spirit gun is very powerful.
Warriors below the rank of Martial Master will never be able to resist them. Warriors above the rank of Martial Master will delay their attack even if they can block them."
"I...I'll know how to use it next time." Dongfang Phoenix said in a low voice with a pretty face.
"From now on, you must go to the practice room to practice from nine o'clock to twelve o'clock every day." Nangong Aotian frowned and said, "If you don't have time, go to Grandpa's place and see how the time in the practice room is arranged. Anyway,
You have to practice every day because you are not strong enough."
"Oh." Although Dongfang Phoenix and Yu Lingshuang responded, their pretty red lips pouted slightly.
"Okay, you guys have a good rest." Nangong Aotian stood up and walked outside.
