Chapter 212: Lord of the Army
After Ling Xiao had negotiated the specific conditions, he began to talk about a mysterious refining device that could assist in pregnancy, and that two people were already pregnant, also thanks to Hua Ran.
Having been scolded for possibly getting close to Ling Zhen, the shaken elder stood up and asked in disbelief: "Really? Is there really a pregnant woman?"
He has only one daughter. She got pregnant with great difficulty during last year's cold wave, but she lost the pregnancy.
Now they are facing the dilemma of difficulty in fertility.
When Ling Zhen delivered the message to him, he did waver for a moment because of his daughter's issue, but in the end he firmly refused.
Ling Zhen's elixir for aiding pregnancy has not been developed yet, but the prince is already pregnant.
"Yes, Hua Ran's refining device did help women get pregnant successfully. It is still in the experimental stage."
Ling Xiao thought about it and decided to inform the elders of the clan.
He had a plan and wanted the elders to perform a play.
"I don't know the results of Ling Zhen's experiment, but the talent awakening potion and refining equipment that Hua Ran and I have mastered are not ready to be announced yet."
"I need the elders to cooperate with me in putting on a show. I want to find out which forces are involved behind Ling Zhen."
The elders looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
"We will cooperate to the end."
It’s just a matter of tricking Ling Zhen, it’s a very simple thing.
If Ling Zhen is really a scum of the royal family, he must be hunted down and killed.
Ling Xiao nodded slightly to show his satisfaction.
Afterwards, he told the elders of the tribe about his plan in detail.
After discussing the main business, all the elders looked at Ling Xiao eagerly, wanting the talent awakening potion and the mysterious refining weapon.
Ling Xiao coughed lightly, feeling a little conflicted.
"Let me ask my wife."
Ling Xiao dialed Hua Ran’s video call.
Hua Ran was studying her wedding dress and picked up Ling Xiao's video.
She turned her head and was shocked to find that the holographic screen was filled with heads.
"Crown Princess, can you please give us some Talent Awakening Potions and the mysterious refining device first? We won't take them for free. We will give you whatever you need."
Hua Ran looked at the old people whose smiles were as big as chrysanthemums and burst out laughing.
She knew Ling Xiao's plan, and it was necessary to establish good relations with these elders.
She nodded immediately to indicate yes.
"Princess Consort, you are so kind. We will not disturb you young people."
"Yes, yes, yes, don't bother me anymore. Let's get ready for the state banquet. Their wedding can't go wrong."
Everyone left, leaving Ling Xiao and Hua Ran staring at each other.
Oh, and there is also His Majesty the Emperor.
Hua Ran thought for a moment and said respectfully, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Child, you still call me Your Majesty. Now that you have registered your marriage, you should change your way of addressing me. Just call me father, just like Xiao'er."
Hua Ran was a little embarrassed. According to the procedure, she would go to the palace to change her words only after the wedding.
She glanced at Ling Xiao and blushed a little, "Meet father!"
"Oh, that's how it should be, Hua Ran, you are such a good girl.
Last time I told you that if you got first place in this year's freshman final exam, I would give you a private army.
There's no need to go through so much trouble. The awakening potions and refining equipment you made are much more impressive than any other achievements.
I promise to give you a titled legion, and let Xiaoer take over the handover to you.
It's up to you whether to hold a military parade at the wedding or not." The old emperor said generously.
Hua Ran looked at the emperor in shock. Damn, a titled legion.
The soldiers of the Titled Legion must have at least strong gene level B to be called a Titled Legion.
She easily obtained a titled legion?
"Thank you, Father." Hua Ran would have to be a fool to refuse.
"No need to thank me. From now on, the whole country belongs to you, Xiao'er. Since you want to catch those illegal forces, father will cooperate with you to the end.
Humph, some aristocratic families are indeed too arrogant, and they don’t even know the surname of the entire empire.”
The old emperor's eyes were cold. Anyone who stood in the way of the Ling family's rise deserved to die.
"Okay, I won't disturb you, the young couple who are about to get married." After saying this, the old emperor left the meeting room.
Hua Ran looked at Ling Xiao excitedly, and Ling Xiao also looked at her with a smile.
"Congratulations, my wife has become the leader of an army."
"Hehe, I'm still far from it. I haven't achieved anything and haven't been recognized by the military. In the future, I will definitely become a general." Hua Ran said proudly.
"Okay, General Hua, you must help me, a little major general."
"It's easy to talk about."
The two chatted for a while, and Ling Xiao said seriously: "Dai Mu is now working behind you, so I will arrange for him to secretly take over the army first."
“What do you think of the military parade?”
"I think the matter of sealing the legion should be kept secret. I don't want to publicize it, and it won't be very friendly to our subsequent plans." Hua Ran said.
Ling Xiao nodded, guessing that Hua Ran would not be happy to publicize this matter.
During the military parade, only the 13th Army will appear.
It is also necessary to hide some cards.
The two chatted for a while before hanging up the phone.
Ling Xiao did not leave the palace, but lived in the palace where his mother lived when she was alive.
After Ling Ming knew that Ling Xiao moved into the palace, he ran over here.
Ling Zhen was checking on the doll tree when he heard the news that the prince had moved into the palace.
Is he going to the palace to show off his presence? He sneered.
At this time, someone came in and reported: "Your Highness, the awakening potion we applied for was suppressed."
"What? What's the reason?"
"The royal family claims that the awakening rate is a bit low, and they hope that we increase our research efforts and raise it to at least 80%, which will be considered a mature medicine."
Hearing this, Ling Zhen was so angry that he slammed the table: "This bunch of old stubborn people."
He has 80% of the medicine, but the cost is too high.
He was reluctant to take it out.
However, this awakening potion was originally used to create momentum. If it is only produced, the production capacity will not be high.
It's not impossible not to issue it, and then push it to the royal family, and then exert reverse pressure.
He then asked, "What did the elders say?"
"Your Highness, the elders have softened their stance, which is good for us."
"Really? What did the elders ask for?"
"I want a mature fertility elixir."
Ling Zhen paused what he was doing. These elders really wouldn't let go until they saw the rabbit.
It seems that I can only urge Yuan Xiyao.
Yuan Xiyao directly refused: "There is no time, the wedding is about to take place, don't you want to arrest Hua Ran?"
Ling Zhen was stunned. He had just gotten engaged to Hua Qing and was feeling rather proud of himself. He really didn't care much about Hua Ran anymore.
Yuan Xiyao saw that he obviously didn't take Hua Ran seriously, she was a little unhappy, but still coaxed: "I know you are very busy now, so I have to do it myself.
How about asking your aunt to stop her current research project and focus on fertility-enhancing drugs?"
"My aunt is a weapon refiner and is not very familiar with medicine."
Ling Zhen was stunned and realized that Yuan Xiyao was making a complaint in a roundabout way.
