Chapter 812 Guyue Qingji

Outside the imperial capital, the formation was filled with a strong smell of blood, which was the smell left by the killing blow on these soldiers.

It was extremely rich and settled on their armor, skin, flesh and blood, and souls. It gathered together and spread in all directions, shocking the earth.

The color of the sky changes, the wind and clouds are surging!

At this moment, the sky was dimmed by their aura, and streaks of lightning and thunder shot out of thin air, piercing the sky...

For a moment, the bells of the imperial capital overlapped and echoed in everyone's mind. The weakest cultivator in this returning army was also a Nascent Soul cultivator, but each one was no ordinary person, and each of them killed astonishingly.

They have been on the border of the human race all year round, guarding the Tianmen of the human race. Their lives are different from most of the monks in the imperial capital. There are too many monks inside who have not been back for a long time.

Therefore, years of fighting and indifference to death gave each of them a sense of numbness on their faces.

But the more this happens, the more alarming the murderous intention becomes, becoming an instinct that cannot be suppressed even when standing in front of the imperial capital.

It seems that even imperial power is not that important in their hearts.

The only thing that can cause trouble for them is... the battle flag waving in front of the army.

There are two flags, one is golden with the word "Guyue" embroidered on it, the other is dark as if painted with blood and has the word "Zhenyan" written on it.

The title of the first king of the human race is Zhenyan.

Under the battle flag, the fifth prince, wearing black armor, looked calmly, looking at the imperial capital in the distance.

It has been seventeen years since he left here, and everything has changed.

As the fifth prince murmured softly, the imperial capital bell rang out for the ninth time, and then the east gate of the imperial palace slowly opened, and most of the officials from the fifth palace of Xia Xuan appeared and went out to greet him.

Bow to the fifth prince in front of the door

"Welcome the fifth prince!"

Another prince, wearing a four-clawed yellow robe, walked out in the middle. Following the order of the emperor, he welcomed his fifth brother back to the capital on behalf of the royal family. With a solemn look on his face, he came thousands of feet away from the army of the fifth prince, standing tall. spoke loudly.

"In ancient times, Yue celebrated Ji and listened to the decree..."

As soon as he said this, the fifth prince sitting on the double-headed black dragon moved his eyes away from the imperial capital and fell on the fourth prince. He swayed his body, left his mount and knelt down on one knee.

The army behind him moved in unison and all knelt down to worship.

The fourth prince nodded slightly, raised his right hand and took out an imperial list.

"The emperor's fifth son, Qing Ji, has meritorious service in guarding the frontier, has good martial arts, is also the god of Si Xuan, is handsome and talented, is very respectful to the country and the army, is very filial to his parents, is very close to his brothers, is very good to his children and nephews, and is a minister. The servant is very majestic. His style is my father's."

"To celebrate the emperor's death, I will reward the emperor's five sons. They can appoint officials in the palace and protect thousands of people. How impressive!"

After reading, the fifth prince stood up, and the soldiers behind him stood up in silence.

"Congratulations, fifth brother." The fourth prince's face was no longer solemn, but instead showed a warm smile.

"Father is waiting for you, why don't you go and thank the Emperor for his kindness?"

The fifth prince showed no expression on his face, and walked forward. When he passed by the fourth prince, he entered the east gate and stepped onto the Rainbow Bridge without even looking.

As for the sergeants behind him, they camped directly in the formation.

This scene made the fourth prince frown slightly, but soon the smile returned to his face, and he simply followed the fifth prince towards the palace with a smile.

Everyone on the Rainbow Bridge saw the prince and bowed their heads slightly to show respect.

Under the Rainbow Bridge, a large number of people from the imperial capital have now gathered, looking at the fifth prince walking on the bridge one by one. I don't know who cheered first. Soon, there were many cheers, and the voice was loud and spread in all directions.

Those who saw it without knowing it would definitely think that the army was returning home in triumph, or that the prince was traveling. The public sentiment was very obvious.

The fifth prince paused, looked at the crowd, said silently for a few moments, bowed to the people, and then continued until he walked all the way across the Rainbow Bridge and stood in front of the palace gate.

The fifth prince looked at the eleven huge burning incense sticks standing there, especially at the area in the middle where one incense stick was missing, with a sad look on his face.

"The death of Lao Qi was a surprise to all of us. At that time, he had asked for the autobiography certificate of Wenxian Zhong, but..."

A gentle voice came from behind the fifth prince, with regret in his tone.

It was the fourth prince. He shook his head and walked side by side with the fifth prince. The fifth prince was silent, looking away from the place where his brother disappeared where the incense was burning, and looking at the end of the square inside the gate, the vastness above the steps. palace.

"Go in, father and all the ministers, Tianhou, Tianwang, and Yu Zundi are all inside." The fourth prince said softly.

"Stop your thoughts." The fifth prince said calmly.

This was the first time he spoke to the fourth prince after returning to the imperial capital.

"The death of Lao Qi is my business, and I don't need you to fan the flames. As for arranging for people to cheer under the bridge, it is even more childish!"

"I am not a victor, and my father is in his prime, so he will not easily become jealous. Neither you nor anyone else, these little tricks are not worthy of Anhu's status."

After speaking, the fifth prince raised his head and walked towards the palace with long strides. At this moment, the palace was silent.

The human emperor was sitting in the main hall, and the thirteen heavenly kings also arrived and sat under him. All the emperors in the imperial capital were also present.

Below, the Dazai and the officials of the Fifth Palace of Shanxuan were arranged in an orderly manner, each looking solemn.

Xu Qing was also in the hall, sitting in his seat with an expressionless face and his eyes falling on the door.

He received the imperial edict last night and came to the court early today to know in advance the return of the seventh prince. Through Ning Yan, he also had a better understanding of the relationship between the fifth prince and the seventh prince.

In the royal family, the relationship between brothers and sisters surpasses all others to a certain extent.

Even the love between parents is sometimes inferior to the love between siblings.

"The fifth prince is a disciple of the First Heavenly King. He is the only disciple of the First Heavenly King who is still alive. He follows the Heavenly King all year round to guard the human race. He is the most meritorious among all the princes."

Among the princes, his combat prowess is second only to the eldest prince who is half of the Yanhuang bloodline. He is equally as brave and good at fighting...

Some of this information came from Princess Anhai, and some came from Ning Yan. While Xu Qing was thinking about it, cheers came from the outside world, and this sound came into the ears of everyone in the hall.

But no one showed any change in their expression, as if they didn't hear me.

"It seems that he is also at odds with the other princes!" Xu Qing's eyes were calm and he looked calmly.

Not long after, a figure caught his eye and caught the eyes of everyone in the hall.

The tall and straight figure, the handsome face, and the black armor make the person who comes forward look extraordinary and heroic, especially the fluctuations in his cultivation are even more obvious.

That is the meaning of the third level of Guixu. Before walking, there are looming threads of rules and laws around it, affecting all directions and turning into the sound of wind and thunder. It is the fifth prince.

Under the attention of everyone, he walked past the ministers step by step and appeared in front of the steps. He knelt down to the emperor sitting high up and spoke in a deep voice.

"Meet my father."

The Human Emperor nodded slightly, "Thank you for your hard work!"

The fifth prince stood up and his eyes fell on all the heavenly kings, and then looked at Tianhou. He only glanced at Xu Qing without showing much fluctuation, and continued to bow to the human emperor.

"Father, over the past seventeen years, Yanyue Frontier has been generally stable."

"During this period, there were a total of ninety-seven small-scale battles. Yanyue's own clan did not show up. Those who caused trouble were all its affiliated clans."

"Under the control of King Zhenyan, everything will be resolved"

"Looking at it as a whole, the Yanyue Xuantian clan is busy with the big hunt, and they have less thoughts about hunting for the surrounding groups than before."

"As for the affiliated ethnic groups that invaded, they were mainly training and testing, and there was no serious problem."

"In terms of casualties, more than 379,000 people of our clan have died in the Yanyue Frontier in the past seventeen years. The list is here."

The fifth prince said, taking out a jade slip and giving it to Qin Zheng, who would hand it over to the emperor by his bodyguard.

"Compared with before, both the number of invasions and the number of sacrifices have been reduced by more than half. This is enough to show that the sun of dawn that my father has been planning for many years has created a certain degree of fear."

As soon as these words came out, most of the officials around them had smiles on their faces.

"but....

...There is also bad news. "Five Emperor Hao said in a deep voice.

"One of the disadvantages is that the overall combat power of Yanyue's affiliated tribes has increased for some reason, and it is not an increase in one tribe, but all of them are getting stronger at an incredible speed."

"The Chang Qi method is very detrimental to our clan, and there are clues about this matter that need to be investigated by the special department."

"The second disadvantage is that Yanyue has to choose Tige, the affiliated tribe, after every big hunt. This matter may cause other affiliated tribes to start a war to gain opportunities and attract attention...!"

"I came back this time to ask my father to increase his troops. Among Yanyue's three strongest subordinate clans, the Ess heavy clan is suspected of being ready to make a move. I, the human race's best friend, Yanyue, want to pay attention."

"The third disadvantage is that the number of aliens in Yanyue has tripled year-on-year in recent years. After King Zhenyan paid attention to it, he once said that it was suspected that... Yanyue was brewing a fourth god!"

As soon as the words came out, there was silence in the hall, and the ministers were all upset. In fact, not many people knew the top secret information about the border area.

For most people, they only have a general understanding at best, and this is the first time they understand everything in such detail.

While these ministers were deep in thought, the fifth prince finished his debriefing and bowed to the Human Emperor again.

According to the normal procedure, he should have returned to his place in the hall at this moment, but after bowing, the fifth prince did not leave, but softly said, "Father, the seventh prince did evil and was killed by the emperor's sword." , because he made a mistake, he deserves to be killed!

"But, I am his brother!"

"If I remain silent, I would be ashamed of my true nature. However, my human race pays attention to blood inheritance and attaches great importance to family ties, which is why we have formed a clan. As your imperial decree says, we are very close brothers. If I ignore family ties, there will be no clan." Dear, it doesn’t match my childhood ideals.”

"So, Father, if I want to challenge Xu Yuzun to fight, no matter whether I win or lose, my heart and mind will be fully understood!"

After saying that, the fifth prince's eyes suddenly fell on Xu Qing, and a cold and stern look suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Xu Yuzun, please!"
