Chapter 473: Sword Hanging on the Top
"I didn't expect that His Majesty could see the potential advantages and hidden dangers at a glance. He is really perceptive." Liu Sheng said with a frown in the cloud sedan.

After the ceremony, Liu Sheng followed Ling Fu on the cloud sedan chair and went to the Minister of Works' residence.

This was her first time visiting her uncle's house since coming to Chang'an.

However, the two of them were still talking about the content of their conversation with His Majesty just now.

"There's nothing he can do. As the king of a country, there are some things he must pay attention to." Ling Fu shook his head and said, "If the bird's-eye view is made public, there will probably be many unnecessary hidden dangers. After all, the residences of these nobles and ministers, and even the imperial palace, can be seen clearly from high above. Once used by someone with ulterior motives, the consequences will be disastrous."

Liu Sheng also understood and could only think about how to adjust.

After all, in the new world, there are not so many intrigues, and there is only one country, so there is no need to worry about any secrets being leaked.

So she never realized it.

"Also," Ling Fu changed the subject, "the matter about the Heavenly Sword weapon that Your Majesty mentioned..."

Liu Sheng frowned, still thinking.

"You have to think it over carefully. The Tang Kingdom is in danger. Your Majesty is right." Ling Fu sighed, "Now the monsters are becoming more and more rampant, and there is also Mobei watching covetously, not to mention that the northern border is now ready to make a move..."

Liu Sheng took a deep breath.

Thinking of the statue that she had sensed appearing in the north not long ago, and then thinking of the corpse of the god that was stolen from Xiaoxiang Tower, a sudden idea flashed in her mind.

"Behind the northern border is Xiaoxiang Tower?" Liu Sheng asked in a deep voice, "The general who protects the north has taken refuge in Xiaoxiang Tower?"

Yes, that's why General Hubei's husband, Sima Han, appeared in the Mobei Temple with the OP. Liu Sheng connected all the clues together.

Ling Fu was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting Liu Sheng to react so quickly.

He nodded and whispered, "Not many people know about this matter, and your majesty does not want to cause unrest at this time."

"Then what are you going to do?" Liu Sheng felt uneasy when he thought about how close Xiaolu Garden was to the northern border.

Ling Fu glanced at Liu Sheng and analyzed patiently:

"Now that we have Han Sima and the child of General Hubei in our hands, they will not act rashly for the time being."

"What's more, they are currently in the development stage and need to slowly lie low for a while before seeking development."

Liu Sheng suddenly had an idea: "So my demonstration today is exactly what Your Majesty wants. Do you want to monitor the northern border?"

She then denied it to herself.

"Impossible. If the North Territory becomes Xiaoxiang Tower's territory, plus that thing..."

“You can’t even see it from the air!”

Liu Sheng came to his senses when he recalled his experience of looking down at the north of the Great Wall from the air.

Ling Fu sighed: "You are right. Our spies can no longer penetrate the northern border. It is like a treacherous den now. We can neither enter nor leave."

Liu Sheng suddenly realized: "So what your majesty wants is weapons in the air, hanging over their heads, threatening them at all times!"

She is still too naive. No wonder His Majesty suddenly attaches so much importance to this matter.

It turned out to be because of this matter.

[In the new world, we don't need this kind of thing at all. It's normal to not expect it.] The world actually said something to comfort him.

Ling Fu smiled and said, "In my hometown, although we belong to the same federation, we are all on guard against each other. Long-range strike weapons have long been a routine means of guarding against each other."

“So having this consideration is a stage in itself.”

Only then did Liu Sheng realize that his step-uncle was comforting him, and he remained silent for a moment.

Ling Fu continued, "If His Majesty didn't value you, he wouldn't even discuss this with you. He would have let me learn the Heavenly Sword and modify it privately."

"You've paved a pretty good path for yourself, you know that?"

"I understand." Liu Sheng nodded, accepting the kindness of his cheap uncle.

But that's not what she was worried about.

She originally wanted to break the information barrier through Skynet, but unexpectedly, she built other barriers instead.

[At least it can realize partial knowledge opening. Imagine the scene in the new world.] Liu Sheng comforted himself in his heart.

[Yes, think about it. With the knowledge you provided, how many more practitioners have been created? Those who cannot practice have gradually mastered the way to survive, and all industries are flourishing.] [The practice speed, skill mastery, and combat skills of the practitioners have all been much better than before, even better than the Tang Dynasty, in this kind of open communication.]

[How many people have been admitted to high school, and even made it through the college entrance examination, and the door to university has appeared without us? ]

【And it’s more than just a university! 】

[Even Qiao Yu received an education that she had never received in the new world, and now she is entering university.]

[Only Ling Xiaoshu is still struggling in high school. I don’t know how many times he has repeated his studies…]

Thinking of this, Liu Sheng couldn't help but smile, and felt a little relieved.

Just at this moment, the cloud sedan slowly descended and finally arrived.

"Don't think about it, go see your aunt first."

"And the matter of your cousin..."

Ling Fu hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Don't tell your aunt, and don't let your cousin know for the time being."

Only then did Liu Sheng confirm that Ling Fu had already checked it.

He should have noticed that there was something strange about Ling Yuke, but he didn't know that Ling Yuke had also noticed that something was wrong with him.

After getting off the cloud sedan and entering the Ling Mansion, Liu Sheng finally saw his aunt Du Yue'e again.

I had only seen him through Jiang Caibin before, but now I am meeting him in person.

Next to Du Yue'e was Ling Yuke, who was unable to conceal her excitement.

Liu Sheng bowed to Du Yue'e.

Du Yue'e's expression was a little stiff, as if she was trying hard to suppress her subconscious contempt, but also had to force a smile to show friendliness and kindness, so her whole face was distorted.

Then she reluctantly took out a red envelope, put it in Liu Sheng's hand, and said that it was a gift from her aunt.

Liu Sheng pinched it and found it was bulging, so it should contain a lot of spiritual energy.

Seeing that the gift was given, Ling Yuke's mother probably couldn't say anything good, so she stepped forward and enthusiastically took Liu Sheng's hand and said, "Dad, Mom, I'll take my cousin to visit the mansion!"

As he spoke, Liu Sheng was pulled away by the enthusiastic Ling Yuke.

Shocked, Du Yue'e watched the two people run away in a hurry. She only had time to shout, "Dinner will be served at noon! Don't forget it while playing..."

I just don't know if this sentence has reached their ears.

Ling Fu smiled with relief as he saw how harmonious the two sisters were.

"I didn't expect they have such a good relationship..." Du Yue'e still couldn't figure it out, and her face was filled with unconcealed surprise.

"I remember a while ago, Yu Ke kept complaining to me that a girl named Liu Sheng had snatched away her childhood friends."

"Later, I heard you say it and realized it was that shabby... ahem, your sister's daughter. What a coincidence."

Du Yue'e almost said the bad words again, but when she saw Ling Fu's eyes, she quickly changed her words.

"Doesn't this mean they are destined to be together?" Ling Fu asked, "What do you call this... a pair of happy enemies?"

"That's true. I think Liu Sheng is a good girl. She is polite and well-mannered. She looks smart. No wonder she is the top scholar." Du Yue'e admitted this rarely and added, "Your sister taught her well."

Ling Fu felt warm at heart when he heard this.

This was the first time Du Yue'e said such words.

Ling Fu couldn't help but hold Du Yue'e's hand, and suddenly said with emotion: "You have worked hard over the years..."

Du Yue'e blushed and pulled her hand away: "Don't be ashamed of being old."

After a pause, she said thoughtfully, "I think Yu Ke hasn't been very happy lately. She only became happier after meeting her cousin today..."

"You have to pay more attention to it."

These words hit the mark exactly on Ling Fu's mind. He seemed to sense the sword hanging over his head, and his mood couldn't help but grow heavier.
