Chapter 988 Why Not Save Him
Among the eighteen states of the Divine Fire Empire, Qingzhou's strength level is relatively low. In the past twenty years, an imperial banquet was held every year. Combined with the two lists of heaven and earth, Qingzhou has only won the top spot three times.
Two of them are the Heavenly Rankings and one is the Earthly Rankings.
The saddest thing is that the first place on the Heavenly Rankings in these two sessions was obtained with the help of outsiders, not native Qingzhou people.
These three people won first place. King Qingzhou did not mention the matter of Concubine Yun to them, because she knew very well that human nature is selfish. Not to mention the two outsiders, let's just talk about the one who won first place on the local list.
That person was cultivated by the King of Qingzhou. After winning the list, he can make a request to the emperor, and he will definitely give priority to himself.
Releasing Concubine Yun would not benefit him at all.
The King of Qingzhou did not make things difficult for him.
"I won't tell you how difficult it is to win the list. In fact, the most difficult part is the human heart. If you were not willing to die for the Seventh Princess just now, I would not have told you this."
The Queen of Qingzhou looked at Lu Yun with her beautiful eyes and said solemnly.
In fact, this is not difficult to understand. For cultivators who go against the will of heaven, the most important thing is to plunder resources and luck. By winning the top spot at the imperial banquet, they can make any request within principles to the emperor, which is mostly fame, wealth, resources and so on.
If Lu Yun had selfish motives, he would definitely give priority to such requests. It is absolutely unrealistic to expect him to rescue Concubine Yun.
But through the test just now, King Qingzhou could see that he felt for Luo Li to the point that he was willing to die for her, so he would most likely be willing to put aside his selfishness and save Luo Li's biological mother.
Lu Yun was silent.
Although he had long seen through the King of Qingzhou's temptation and deliberately acted as if he had no regrets about life or death, if the time really came, even if he was unable to fight back, he would still stand in front of Luo Li.
Not to mention saving Luo Li's mother.
Moreover.
Lu Yun's own body is a huge treasure house. The hidden power within himself has not yet been fully excavated. Why would he care about the limited cultivation resources of the Divine Fire Empire?
Lu Yun said solemnly: "Noble Concubine Yun is my mother-in-law, there is no reason for me not to save her."
The King of Qingzhou nodded slightly: "I was right about you. Come with me to the Imperial City in a few days. If you really have the ability to save Sister Yun, I will send someone to meet you a thousand meters away from the East City in advance."
Lu Yun smiled and said, "Are you afraid that Queen Qin will regret it?"
The King of Qingzhou had a serious expression on his face. "On the day of the imperial banquet, the other three empires will gather in the imperial city. No one will dare to touch you in the city, otherwise it will be a slap in the face. But outside the imperial city, it will be difficult to predict. For the sake of caution, you will attend the imperial banquet as Xu Que this time. How about that?"
Lu Yun replied: "No big deal."
Luo Li asked: "What about me? I also want to accompany little Lu Yun to attend the imperial banquet and see my mother earlier."
The King of Qingzhou shook his head: "No, in my opinion, it is better for the Seventh Princess to stay in Qingzhou Prefecture and wait for news from us. By the way, I have a gift for you."
The King of Qingzhou took out a necklace and hung it on Luo Li's snow-white swan neck. The azure light and fair skin complemented each other, which was very beautiful.
"You have awakened the Divine Fire Seal. The royal blood in your body is easy to be detected by others. This necklace has a concealing effect. You should wear it."
Lu Yun saw that the necklace was roughly similar to his own Thousand Illusions Ice Soul Pearl, but it did not have as many functions as the Thousand Illusions Ice Soul Pearl.
Oh, right, Thousand Illusion Ice Soul Pearl...
Lu Yun seemed to have thought of something, and said with a smile: "My beautiful lady, I have a more daring idea. I wonder if you have any vicious and evil people?"
