Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

Zhang Ling picked up the chicken soup, took a sip, and praised: "What a delicious chicken soup!"

"As long as Your Highness likes it." Xiaohuan smiled brightly.

Zhang Ling chatted with Xiaohuan for a few minutes and then let her go back.

After Xiaohuan left, Zhang Ling looked up at the bright moon in the sky again, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

"Tears of the Moon Goddess..." he muttered to himself, "What on earth is that?"

In the next few days, Zhang Ling searched for the whereabouts of the "Tears of the Moon Goddess", but found nothing.

He read a large number of ancient books and asked many people, but no one had heard of the "Tears of the Moon Goddess".

Just when Zhang Ling was about to give up, he suddenly remembered what Ling'er had said, "Your enemies are also my enemies!"

"My enemy..." Zhang Ling pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought of a person - the current emperor, his father!

He always suspected that his travel to this world was not accidental, but was deliberately arranged by someone.

And this person is most likely his father!

Because his father had always been wary of him, worried that he would threaten his throne.

"Could it be that my father is my enemy?" Zhang Ling thought to himself.

He decided to test his father!

The next day, Zhang Ling went to the imperial study and asked to see his father.

"Father, I have something to ask you." Zhang Ling said.

"Come in." A majestic voice came from the imperial study.

Zhang Ling pushed the door open and saw his father sitting on the dragon throne, reviewing memorials.

"Father, I have been studying ancient martial arts secrets recently and discovered a treasure called 'Tears of the Moon Goddess'. It is said that it can unlock the seal of a warrior and enhance his strength." Zhang Ling said.

"Oh? Is this true?" The emperor put down the memorial in his hand and asked with interest.

"It's absolutely true! I have seen records about the 'Tears of the Moon Goddess' in ancient books." Zhang Ling said, "I would like to ask the emperor to send someone to help me find the 'Tears of the Moon Goddess'."

The emperor hesitated for a moment and said, "In that case, I will send someone to help you find it."

"Thank you, father!" Zhang Ling was delighted.

On the surface, he was asking his father for help in finding the "Tears of the Moon Goddess", but in reality he was trying to test his father's reaction.

If my father really knew the secret of the "Tears of the Moon Goddess", he would definitely be exposed!

Sure enough, the people sent by the emperor returned soon, but empty-handed.

"Your Majesty, I have asked around and have not heard of the 'Tears of the Moon Goddess'."

The emperor frowned and said, "Could it be that this 'Tears of the Moon Goddess' is just a legend?"

Zhang Ling sneered in his heart. It seemed that his father really knew the secret of the "Tears of the Moon Goddess"!

He decided to continue the investigation!

One night, Zhang Ling came to the Imperial Garden again. This time, he did not call Ling'er, but stood there quietly, looking up at the bright moon in the sky.

Suddenly, he felt a powerful aura approaching him quickly!

He was startled and turned around quickly, only to see a black shadow falling from the sky!

"Who is it?!" Zhang Ling shouted sternly.

The black shadow did not say anything, but directly attacked Zhang Ling!

Zhang Ling dodged quickly, but was still hit by the black shadow!

"puff!"

Zhang Ling spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backwards!

"Who sent you here?!" Zhang Ling covered his chest and roared.

The shadow sneered and said, "Your Highness, this day next year will be the anniversary of your death!"

After saying that, the black shadow pounced towards Zhang Ling again!

Zhang Ling knew that he was no match for the black shadow, so he had to find a way to escape!

He endured the severe pain, stood up, and ran out of the imperial garden!

The dark shadow is chasing closely!

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Ling, blocking the black shadow's way!

"Ling'er!" Zhang Ling shouted in surprise.

Ling'er didn't say anything, but directly attacked the black shadow!

I saw Ling'er's figure, like a ghost, quickly shuttling around the black shadow!

The black shadow couldn't catch Ling'er's figure at all and could only passively take the beating!

"Bang bang bang!"

A series of collision sounds were heard, and the black shadow was beaten back again and again!

Finally, Ling'er hit the black shadow in the chest with a palm, knocking the black shadow away!

The black shadow fell heavily to the ground and remained motionless.

Ling'er walked up to Zhang Ling and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Zhang Ling shook his head and said, "I'm fine, thank you for saving me."

"You're welcome. This is what I should do." Ling'er said, "Your enemy is also my enemy!"

Zhang Ling looked at Ling'er, his heart filled with gratitude and confusion.

He increasingly felt that there was some special connection between him and Ling'er.

"Ling'er, what is the connection between us?" Zhang Ling asked.

Ling Er smiled mysteriously and said, "It's not the time to tell you yet. However, I can tell you one thing. In your previous life, you were a powerful warrior. You have great power, but it is sealed. The 'Tears of the Moon Goddess' is the key to unlocking your seal!"

"It's sealed?" Zhang Ling was shocked. "How can I unlock the seal?"

Ling'er pointed to the bright moon in the sky, "You need to find the 'Tears of the Moon Goddess'. It's in..."

Ling'er hadn't finished her words when suddenly, the bright moon in the sky began to slowly turn red!

"Are you... Xiaohuan?" Zhang Ling asked tentatively.

Xiao Huan smiled slightly, bowed, and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince has a really good memory. This servant is Xiao Huan."

Zhang Ling looked at the beautiful palace maid in front of him, and his heart could not help but ripple. Xiaohuan's beauty was different from Ling'er's ethereal beauty. It was a kind of delicate beauty full of the breath of fireworks in the world.

"Why are you here so late?" Zhang Ling asked.

"Your Highness, I'm here to bring you a midnight snack on the orders of the Queen." Xiaohuan said as she handed the food box to Zhang Ling.

Zhang Ling took the lunch box, opened it and saw a bowl of hot shredded chicken porridge and a plate of exquisite pastries.

"Thank you for your help." Zhang Ling said.

"Your Highness is too polite. This is what I should do." Xiaohuan said.

Zhang Ling picked up the spoon and took a bite of the shredded chicken porridge. It tasted delicious and warmed both the stomach and the heart.

"This porridge is really delicious." Zhang Ling exclaimed.

"As long as His Royal Highness likes it." Xiaohuan showed a relieved smile on her face.

The two of them chatted quietly under the moonlight.

Zhang Ling learned from Xiaohuan that Xiaohuan's parents were both old palace maids. She grew up in the palace and knew everything about it.

Zhang Ling also told Xiaohuan about his experience of time travel and his determination to seek revenge.

Xiaohuan listened to Zhang Ling's story with sympathy and admiration in her eyes.

"Your Highness, you are really a difficult person." Xiao Huan said, "I will definitely do my best to help you."

Zhang Ling looked at Xiaohuan's sincere eyes and his heart was filled with gratitude.

"Thank you, Xiaohuan." Zhang Ling said.

The two chatted for a while, and then Xiaohuan said goodbye and left.

Zhang Ling looked at Xiaohuan's departing back and his heart could not calm down for a long time.

He felt that Xiaohuan's appearance might not be accidental.

Perhaps, she is an important chess piece in his revenge plan.

In the next few days, Zhang Ling secretly investigated the whereabouts of the "Tears of the Moon Goddess" while working to build up his own power.

He promoted some generals loyal to him to important positions and secretly trained an elite army.

He also used his power to crack down on some corrupt officials and won the hearts of the people.

All of this laid a solid foundation for his revenge plan.

One night, Zhang Ling was reading in the study when suddenly a dark shadow flashed past the window.

Zhang Ling was shocked and immediately became alert.

He drew the sword from his waist and shouted, "Who's there?"

A masked man in black appeared in front of Zhang Ling.

"Your Highness, I hope you are well." The man in black said with a sneer.

Zhang Ling recognized the voice, he was the prime minister's son, Li Tianba!

"Li Tianba, you actually dare to come here!" Zhang Ling said angrily, "Do you think you can still escape the law?"

"Escape the law?" Li Tianba laughed. "Your Highness, you are too naive! Although my father is dead, his power is still there! Today, I am here to take your life!"

After saying that, Li Tianba drew out his sword and stabbed at Zhang Ling.

Zhang Ling swung his sword to resist, and the two of them started a fierce fight in the study.

Although Li Tianba is a martial arts expert, Zhang Ling was a powerful warrior in his previous life and his combat experience is far superior to Li Tianba's.

After a few rounds, Li Tianba was at a disadvantage.

“Damn it!” Li Tianba roared and used his ultimate move, “Tianba Divine Fist!”

A powerful fist gust of wind attacked Zhang Ling.

Zhang Ling didn't dare to take it head-on and quickly dodged.

"boom!"

The fist wind hit the bookshelf, causing it to collapse.

Zhang Ling took the opportunity to step forward and stabbed Li Tianba in the chest with a sword.

"Ugh..." Li Tianba let out a scream and fell to the ground.

"You...you..." Li Tianba pointed at Zhang Ling, his eyes full of resentment, "You...actually..."

"Hmph! You have committed so many evil things that you deserve to die!" Zhang Ling said coldly.

Li Tianba struggled for a few times and then died.

Zhang Ling looked at Li Tianba's body without a trace of pity in his heart.

He knew that this was just the beginning of revenge.

He has more powerful enemies to deal with!

Just then, a fragrant breeze blew over, and Xiaohuan appeared at the door of the study room without anyone noticing.

She looked at the mess on the ground and Li Tianba's body, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes.

"Your Highness..." Xiaohuan asked in a trembling voice, "What...what is going on?"

Zhang Ling put away his sword and said calmly, "It's okay, he's just a petty thief."

"Little...little thief?" Xiaohuan looked at Li Tianba's body, her heart full of doubts.

She always felt that things were not that simple.

"Xiaohuan, please prepare some hot water for me. I want to take a shower and change clothes." Zhang Ling said.

"Yes, Your Highness." Xiaohuan didn't dare to ask more questions and quickly retreated.

Zhang Ling looked at Xiaohuan's departing back, a meaningful smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

He felt that Xiaohuan seemed to be hiding some secrets...

"Are you... Xiaohuan?" Zhang Ling asked tentatively.

Xiao Huan smiled slightly, bowed, and said, "Your Highness, you have a good memory. This servant is Xiao Huan."

Zhang Ling looked at Xiao Huan in front of him, and his doubts grew even stronger. He remembered that Xiao Huan was just an ordinary palace maid, so why was she here? Moreover, her temperament seemed to be different from before.
