In the afternoon, an airship arrived outside the north city of Qiyuan City.
One by one, purple-robed or red-robed officials stepped out of the airship and dispersed to various places to inspect the battlefield.
In the crater made by the snow-capped mountains, the magic armor melted and the corpses turned into dregs. Only monsters of level five or above left traces in chunks.
A high-grade fortune-teller immediately opened the altar and cast spells, deducing and tracing back.
Just as the officials appointed by the imperial court were inspecting the battlefield, five thousand troops from the Tabai Army arrived.
The leader of the army would go ahead and pay homage to the officials at the scene, and then stay outside the city. Only Wang Buku would be sent into the city.
Li Qingxian and the officials of Qiyuan City stood at the top of the north city wall. The place had just been repaired by puppet repairers, and traces of the battle were faintly visible.
Gai Fengyou said: "Such military achievements are very rare, so it is normal for the court to check carefully."
"We sit upright and behave upright, let them check." Zhang Moya stroked his beard and didn't care.
Not long after, Wang Buku climbed onto the city wall, and Li Qingxian introduced him to everyone in Qiyuan City one by one.
After the greetings, the two of them walked to the corner of the city wall. Wang Buku stared at Li Qingxian, counted his breaths, and sighed: "When you enter Qiyuan City, you will be like a dragon returning to the sea. I am in the river guarding army, and I have made outstanding achievements many times, and I have been highly praised by my elders.
I praise it to the generals. But compared with your achievements, it is simply heaven and earth."
Li Qingxian smiled and said: "I was just lucky. I got a special set of techniques and good timing, so I achieved great success."
"Opportunities are only given to those who are prepared. If it's me or others who don't have enough cultivation, no matter how good the opportunity is, what's the use? You are the well-deserved leader of our seventh-grade Qingyun examination." Wang Bu
After Ku finished speaking, his eyes dimmed and he turned his head to look elsewhere.
"Tiantian, what's the matter?" Li Qingxian deliberately joked.
Wang Buku couldn't stand this title, so he rolled his eyes at Li Qingxian and said, "Ye Han said that he knew he was wrong and was planning to develop his ambitions in the capital. He asked me to go back and help him."
Just today, Li Qingxian also invited Wang Buku to take charge of Qiyuan City.
Li Qingxian thought of the relationship between the two and sighed inwardly, "What do you think?"
Wang Buku glanced at Li Qingxian and looked up to the north.
"Last year, I would probably agree. After all, the capital is more stable, there are many promotion channels, and with my family and Ye Han's connections, as long as it works normally, it won't take long before I can take charge of an army and rise higher and higher..."
Wang Buku paused and stared at the north for a long time, and then said: "During the months of training in the river guard army, I suddenly realized how naive my past ideas were. The world is big, and the capital is not alone. The capital does not lack me.
The king is not bitter, but the river guard army lacks countless river guards. When I was a child, I met some uncles and family friends. They always came and went in a hurry, and often did not return to the capital for several years, including my father. I was very unhappy at that time.
Understand why they go to such trouble, aren't they gods? Is the family not in good condition? Why do they have to suffer hardships and even die? When I personally watched the river guarding, saw each of my comrades fall, and saw groups of monsters coming,
The blood of my comrades dyed my eyes red, and the blood of demons poured into my throat. I suddenly understood. The reason why the city of God is good and the reason why our family is good is because some people endure hardships, suffer hardships, and even die."
Li Qingxian sighed softly.
"I didn't understand before, why General Wang wanted to stay in the river army for a long time despite the risk of being jealous of the emperor, being impeached by the officials, and even being killed. But now I understand."
"He can't go back to Shendu, and he can't go back to Shendu. The people who guard the river are not the same as the people in Shendu." Wang Buku said.
"You have grown up." Li Qingxian said.
"You did a good job killing that Magistrate Wen."
Li Qingxian smiled slightly.
"These days, I have been very talented in the River Guard Army, and some elders advised me to stop it. Just in time, I came to your Qiyuan Army to practice for a while, digest what I have learned recently, and strengthen my practice at the same time. However, even in the rear, I still
We must continue to hunt the nearby monsters, this is the best way to protect Qiyuan City."
"certainly."
"What are your recent plans?" Wang Buku asked.
"If you are too sharp, then I will almost stir up the world. For a period of time in the future, I will just practice in Qiyuan City and do nothing." Li Qingxian said.
"Don't go back to the capital these days."
"Because the water in the capital is in trouble?"
Wang Buku nodded and said: "Ye Han has been getting close to the King of Chu recently."
Li Qingxian thought for a while and said: "We are all our own people. It's okay to talk about some things in private. Although there are many children today, it seems that there are only three or four people who can compete for the throne. The fourth prince, General Wang Gu, is stationed in Beihe
, I can't say. Three consecutive princes have had accidents. Currently, the seventh prince, King Qin, is the best candidate for the prince. However, King Qin knows how to hide one's strength and bide his time. There are rumors that he was frightened by the accidents of three consecutive princes. One day, he entered the palace and knelt down before the emperor.
Please don’t make him a prince now. However, everyone also knows that he is secretly cultivating his own power and has not really become an idle king. He is mediocre in all aspects, but he has no shortcomings."
"It is true." Wang Buku said.
"The tenth prince, King Jin, has amazing talent in martial arts. He was promoted to the top level when he was twenty years old. Now that he is over thirty, he is already a second-level expert and is expected to be promoted to the first level within five years. However, this man is so proud of his achievements that he is too flamboyant and even publicized it in a high-profile manner.
He doesn't like to be an emperor, he just wants to be a free and easy prince. That's what he said, but the self-respect of his troops in the south has almost turned his defense line into an independent kingdom. No one knows whether he has any ambitions. In addition,
He has a good reputation among martial arts practitioners."
"The fifteenth prince, King Chu, is the most like the emperor among all the princes. Both in appearance and ability, he is far superior to the other princes. From childhood to adulthood, everything the emperor asked him to do was done perfectly.
He was even praised by the emperor as "my Qilin son". But the problem is that when he was a child, his mother committed an offense in the palace and was killed with a stick. Later, she was given to two concubines to raise. Both concubines were unlucky, so the people in the palace
People shunned him. Fortunately, he worked hard and came first in the prince examination many times. Unlike the King of Jin, he has an excellent reputation in literature and Taoism."
"Except for these four, the rest of the princes are either mediocre, or have stains, or have not been crowned kings and cannot form their own forces. It is basically impossible for them to participate in the fight for the dragon and the heir. He is quite discerning in choosing the King of Chu."
"Who do you choose?" Wang Buku asked.
"How unimaginable is it that I, an ordinary night guard, participate in the fight for the heir apparent among dragons? I won't choose anyone." Li Qingxian said.
Wang Buku sighed: "That's why I say that Ye Han has lost his mind. What does he think of Long Zi seizing the legitimate son? Do you really think that you are a little lucky to be able to participate in such a thing? All the brothers in Jinshang back then were like dragons.
, no generation of dragons in the past dynasties was as impressive as him. What was the result? Most of the princes died in the struggle for the right to inherit the throne, and how many people expected that the emperor would finally succeed to the throne?"
"So from now on I will hide away from God. I really can't go to a small southern country to hide. My little arms and legs can't bear the torment." Li Qingxian said.
Wang Buku said: "Yes, even the gods are not stable. Lu Gaoming had an accident and broke his arm. Fortunately, he saved his life. I always feel that something is wrong. Maybe I am overthinking."
Li Qingxian looked calm on the surface, but felt horrified on the inside.
