The young man has a handsome appearance, but when faced with everyone's gaze, he has a rare majestic demeanor, calm and calm.

The ministers did not recognize him, and they gradually realized what Her Royal Highness the Princess had just said.

Then their expressions became strange.

Is he the one who can hold the sword of the country?

Who is he? Why?

The princes and ministers in the palace watched with complicated emotions as Lu Qingshan walked slowly towards His Highness.

The sword of the state, as its name suggests, is the sword of national destiny of the Qin State. It is the sharpest weapon in the world and has been passed down for thousands of years.

If General Pingnan could hold this sword, then the armor of the White Walkers would be nothing to him.

Moreover, in addition to its killing properties as a weapon, the sword of Zhenguo also has an extremely high status and unique symbolic meaning.

——Those who hold swords in the past dynasties have a lofty status below one person and above ten thousand people in the Qin State.

Those who hold the sword of Zhenguo protect Qin.

How could such a sword be given to others so easily? To such a stranger?

In their hearts, they could only accept General Pingnan holding the sword.

Thinking like this, the princes and ministers unconsciously exuded hostility towards Lu Qingshan.

However, General Pingnan didn't say anything, and they didn't dare to speak out rashly - no one wanted to offend Her Highness the Princess.

Many people looked at General Pingnan.

Unfortunately, I only saw a tall and steady figure, and not many clues could be discerned.

However, they were not disappointed for long. Among the military attachés behind General Pingnan, Wang Zhu, the Minister of War, walked out again at this time and was the first to speak out, pointing his finger at Lu Qingshan.

"Who are you, and why don't you kneel down when you see His Highness?"

Lu Qingshan frowned and turned to look at the so-called Minister of War. Just as he was about to say something, the woman on the imperial chair spoke before him.

"Those who hold the Sword of Zhenguo do not need to kneel down when they see anyone in the territory of Qin." This is the privilege of the holder of the Sword of Zhenguo, and it is not Qin Yitian's temporary idea.

Wang Zhu was reluctant when he heard this and continued: "This person is not holding a sword now."

"Then take it as what I said. From now on, Lu Qingshan doesn't need to kneel down when he sees me." Qin Yitian was also very calm and asked: "I wonder if the Minister Wang is satisfied with this?"

"It's a humble minister who overstepped his bounds." Although Qin Yitian's tone was calm, his dissatisfaction was clearly revealed in his words. Wang Zhu's face changed, and he knelt down and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me."

He looks like a rough guy, but unexpectedly he turns out to be very smooth.

Seeing this, Lu Qingshan muttered in his heart.

Qin Yitian waved his hand and did not continue to target Wang Zhu, but just asked him to return to his position.

Since Qin Yitian spoke for him, Lu Qingshan didn't say anything more. He faced everyone's gaze and said with a smile: "Lu Qingshan has met all of you."

Lu Qingshan's eyes also swept across everyone, and finally landed on General Pingnan, who had been silent and not looking at him, and he already knew his identity in his heart.

"Your Highness, is this person the one you have chosen to hold the sword?" On the other side of the team of civil servants, Zhao Peiyan, who was the chief assistant of the dynasty, stepped out at this time and asked slowly.

"Yeah." Qin Yitian nodded lightly on the imperial chair.

His Royal Highness, General Pingnan, suddenly clenched his fists after hearing this soft hum.

He is undoubtedly a warrior with real talents and knowledge, and he has a strong military strategy and the ability to lead troops. Otherwise, he would not be able to occupy the position of Qin's general.

Such a person must be proud, so there are not many people who can convince General Pingnan...or it can be said that there are none, let alone the character in front of him who is younger than him and looks like a pretty boy.

But General Pingnan is worthy of being a general of the Qin Dynasty who has fought for half his life. Even though there is a lot of anger and dissatisfaction in his heart, it does not show any of it on his face.

He did not directly oppose Qin Yitian, but glanced sideways at Lu Qingshan and sneered: "Dragon crossing the river?"

"The martial arts comrades in the world look up to them, so it's just a nickname given to them." Lu Qingshan laughed, and without any embarrassment, he dumped his private nickname on the unwarranted martial arts comrades.

General Pingnan did not dwell too much on these details. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you from Qin?"

Lu Qingshan shook his head gently, "No."

"Do you have an official position or title in the Qin State, or have you made meritorious service to our Qin State?"

"No." Lu Qingshan shook his head again.

"The Sword of Suppression is such an important thing. This person is not even a member of the Qin State, and he has no official title. He is just a wanderer. How can he be worthy of the Sword of Suppression?" The next moment, General Pingnan no longer looked at Lu Qingshan, but

He turned to look at Qin Yitian and asked loudly.

He was already frightening in appearance, but now his aura is even more astonishing.

It's just that this kind of momentum may be able to shock others, but it cannot shock Lu Qingshan and Qin Yitian on the imperial chair.

Qin Yitian said lightly: "The sword that governs the country is the sword of my Qin family. Who do I want to give it to? It is my royal matter. When do I need to report it to others?"

"As for the official title, won't it be enough if he picks up the sword that governs the country?"

A word awakened the dreamer, and all the civil and military officials suddenly reacted to Qin Yitian's behavior...

Those who hold the sword that governs the country will be the generals who protect the country of Qin.

This is a rule established by the First Emperor of Qin and passed down from generation to generation.

It's just that such a nameless warrior suddenly wants to become the general who protects the country of Qin?

No matter how strong his concentration was, no matter how profound his Qi-nurturing skills were, the minister could no longer hold back at this moment and began to whisper to his colleagues around him.

Suddenly, the court hall was filled with commotion.

"Your Highness, the position of the general protecting the country is of great importance, how can it be a trivial matter?" The next moment, one of the military attachés came out and shouted loudly: "As soon as this order is issued, the morale of our country's military will definitely be in chaos. Your Highness, think twice!"

With the first remonstrance, several military attachés soon joined forces and echoed.

Even among the civil servants, many people responded.

There was a lot of excitement for a while.

From the beginning to the end, Lu Qingshan, who was the central figure in the entire incident, remained silent and allowed the court officials to speak as they wished.

And General Pingnan, who should have added fuel to the fire the most, did not speak again after the initial questioning.

Finally, the young princess stood up, looked down at the civil and military officials of the court with an expressionless face, and said softly.

"I have made up my mind, please don't say any more."

"That's the end of today's court meeting. Let's retreat."

"Lu Qingshan, please stay here first. I have something else to say to you."

............

Now that he has announced his intention to withdraw from the imperial court, all the civil and military officials who have their own thoughts, whether they are willing or unwilling, will wait until they get it. At this time, they can only file out of the palace.

However, this time, the chief minister Zhao Peiyan and Pingnan general Jiang Luan, who had never interacted much on weekdays, unexpectedly came out of the palace together.

This made some active ministers seem to smell something unusual.

After crossing the threshold of the Jinluan Palace, the two men, respectively the head of the civil servants and the head of the military attachés of the Qin State, did not immediately walk down the white jade steps, but stood side by side, looking at the backs of the mighty ministers.

All civil and military officials were talking about it, and without exception the focus of the topic was the sudden appearance of the dragon crossing the river.

"Your Highness has never failed to make a decision since he came to power." The First Assistant suddenly said.

"Your Highness is not a god, and you will always make mistakes." After a moment of silence, General Pingnan replied.

He looked back at the eaves of the Jinluan Palace and said solemnly: "The sword holder of the sword must be me."

"Your Highness thinks it's not me, so she is wrong."

After saying this, General Pingnan stopped staying on the white jade steps and walked away, his tall and straight back attracting attention.

…………

Inside the Jinluan Hall.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty retreated.

The eunuchs and maids have also been dismissed by Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Except for a man and a woman, there is no one else.

"Should I call you Her Royal Highness, Princess, or Yitian?" Lu Qingshan turned his gaze to the beautiful figure on the stage and finally asked.

The woman on the stage has bright eyes and jade teeth, like jade mountains rising up, and the light shines on people.

After hearing what Lu Qingshan said, she pursed her lips and looked at him sideways with a smile.
