Chapter 113: Chapter 113 Encounter
After putting the Cloud Piercing Shuttle back into the storage space, Zhao Ling, A Yin and Poseidon walked together towards the direction of Tiandou Imperial City.
The outskirts of Sunset Forest are a hundred miles away from Tiandou Imperial City. If Ah Yin were to rely solely on the speed he could keep up with, it would take an entire afternoon to walk the hundred miles, and it would not be until evening that he could reach Tiandou Imperial City.
So Zhao Ling carried Ah Yin on his back and sped towards Tiandouhuang City.
As an Ultimate Douluo, it would not be too difficult for Poseidon to keep up with Zhao Ling's speed.
On the wide road, several horses were galloping non-stop towards Tiandou City.
The leader on the horse was a man wearing a dragon robe, who looked to be in his twenties or thirties, with high spirits and temperament. He should have been in a high position for a long time.
He waved the whip in his hand from time to time, and shouted softly: "Gee...Gee..."
The guards on the horses behind him kept shouting, "Your Majesty, please slow down. Don't run so fast. If you get hurt, His Majesty will have to take our heads."
"Yes, Your Majesty, please take it easy. Even if you are anxious to see your newly born nephew, you don't have to be so anxious, right?"
…
The young man addressed as the prince was none other than the only prince of the Tiandou Empire in the original novel—Prince Xuexing. However, at this time, he was still young and looked full of vigor and vitality.
Prince Xuexing turned his head and rolled his eyes at the guards behind him. "Can you guys hurry up? You're really holding me back. I heard that my nephew was born to be a very cute baby. What's wrong with me rushing back to see him? Do you have any objections?"
After saying that, Prince Xuexing whipped the white horse lightly with the whip again, and the pain stimulated the white horse's speed to increase again.
Just when the young prince wanted to turn around and look at the road ahead, he saw two figures appear behind him.
Moreover, the two figures came closer and closer, and it took less than half a minute from the time he saw their figures to the time they overtook his horses.
The moment the two figures passed them, Prince Xuexing only heard the whistling wind in his ears, and his head unconsciously turned back to the front of the road following the two figures.
But soon the two figures distanced themselves from each other, and in less than a minute, they completely disappeared from his sight.
Prince Xuexing turned his head woodenly to look at the stunned guards behind him and asked them in a tentative tone.
"Did you see those two people who just ran faster on foot than our horses?"
The guards all shook their heads dumbly, but one of them spoke up.
"Your Majesty, those two people just now didn't use their martial spirits or spirit power, but they actually ran faster than our horses. Could they be Titled Douluo masters?"
The guard's guess was soon echoed by other guards.
"It's possible. It's impossible for a Soul Douluo expert to burst out at such a terrifying speed without using his martial soul and soul skills."
"That's right, these two are definitely Titled Douluo masters. I never expected that it would be so difficult to meet a Titled Douluo master normally. Today, we are lucky enough to meet two Titled Douluo masters. We are so lucky today."
Prince Xue Xing also nodded in agreement: "Yes, today is a really good day. First, my brother got a prince, and on the way back, we met two more Title Douluo. Judging from the situation, they should still go to our Tiandou City.
If we can win over these two Title Douluo to serve as the emperor's royal family, then perhaps the emperor's royal family will not be constrained by others like this."
In the mind of Prince Xuexing, their Tiandou Empire does have powerful Titled Douluo.
But they all came from the top three sects. The entire Tiandou royal family did not have a single Titled Douluo, let alone a single strong man above the level of Soul Douluo.
This resulted in the Tiandou royal family often having to act according to the wishes of the big families. If the interests of the royal family and the big families conflicted, the royal family sometimes had to choose to sacrifice the interests of the royal family.
Therefore, he felt that if the royal family could win over these two Titled Douluo to become royal worshippers, then the royal family's voice would definitely be raised to a higher level. However, it might not be that easy to win over the two Titled Douluo.
Half an hour later, Prince Xuexing and his guards finally arrived at the Tiandou Imperial City. He did not even return to his own palace, but ran straight to the palace.
For the prince's palace, the most important thing now is to go to the palace to see his newborn nephew.
He entered the palace in a hurry. The guards hurriedly saluted him when they saw him along the way. The palace steward also hurriedly saluted when he saw him and spoke in a shrill voice.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty is now in the Imperial Study, holding the Prince."
Upon hearing this, Prince Xuexing was also delighted. It would be better for his brother to take the children to the imperial study, so that he wouldn't have to run to the imperial sister-in-law's palace.
After all, he was a prince, and although it was understandable for him to go to the emperor's sister-in-law's palace to visit his nephew who was just born, he still felt that he had to avoid suspicion.
He walked all the way to the imperial study and saw a man coaxing a delicate and pretty child. He hurried in with a happy look on his face.
"Brother, is this my newly born baby nephew? Hmm, he looks so cute and pink."
Obviously, the man who was coaxing the child and was respected as the imperial brother was the current emperor of the Tiandou Empire, that is, the Emperor Xue Ye in the original novel.
It's just that Emperor Xue Ye was in his prime at this time, and his excellent royal bloodline gave him handsome features, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. The aura of being in a superior position for a long time made his handsome face look majestic without even being angry.
Hearing Prince Xuexing's voice, the middle-aged Emperor Xue Ye raised his head and looked at him with a smile on his face.
"Second brother, you are back? Come and see if your nephew is good looking."
Prince Xuexing stretched out his hand and gently poked the delicate and pretty child's face. Perhaps because the child looked at him rather unfamiliarly, he touched him and the child immediately burst into tears. His cry was very loud and he even peed himself in a very dishonest way.
In an instant, Prince Xuexing was splattered in the face, and even Emperor Xue Ye, who was holding a child, was affected.
Xue Ye, who had just become a father, and Xue Xing, who had just become an uncle, were both panicked. The child could just cry, but why did he pee on their faces and bodies? It was so unlucky.
Emperor Xue Ye had no choice but to call the wet nurse to take the child away to coax him, and the two brothers looked at each other's miserable appearance and couldn't help laughing.
"Hahaha, second brother, you are so lucky today. You got kissed in the face by a kid right after you came back."
"Brother, this is not very kind of you. Your good son slapped me in the face, and you are still mocking me like this?"
Prince Xuexing complained somewhat dissatisfiedly, but it made Emperor Xueye laugh even more heartlessly...
