Salin was immersed in his own world and did not realize that the return of Princess Rex had set off a storm in Holy Rock City. WWw. QuANbEn-XiAoShUo. COm
Emperor Qin Yin rang the magic bell that had not been touched for ten years to welcome his daughter. The next day he announced that a county would be established and Rex de Glucos would become the first in the history of the Qin Yin Empire. The prince.
Before the crown prince was established, the county prince was established first, which made the nobles in the House of Lords uneasy. Jialulan is about to be in chaos. Everyone knows that the location of Kushui County is actually not far away from the Jialulan Principality. If Jialulan loses control, Kushui County can send troops to conquer it, or even incorporate Jialulan into the county.
If the military force spreads to nearby principalities, and Kushui County has enough strength, it will control thousands of miles, which is obviously the prototype of an empire.
The prince has always been in poor health and has just recovered from a serious illness. Although there are many supporters, it is all because of the presence of Emperor Qin Yin. Now that the emperor supports his daughter in establishing the country, how many nobles will be affected to join him
Once Rex's power expands, the prince will be weakened. Even if he is established as the crown prince, the Qin Yin Empire actually has two political centers.
The prince can ennoble nobles, and many people will be tempted. When the princess was born, the emperor personally gave the princess a boy's name, which already made everyone uneasy. Now that something that many people are worried about has emerged, the situation in the imperial capital immediately became tense.
Among the twelve north-south avenues of the imperial capital, there is a magnificent building on the fourth east-eastern one. This building is in the Fourth Dynasty style, with a mixture of brick and wood, and the green solid bricks are carved with landscapes, birds and animals, like a scroll.
The courtyard wall of this mansion is not high and faces the street. There is a stone pillar standing in front of the door, which has been eroded by the years, but has not been repaired with magic. The handwriting on the stone pillar is still legible, in ancient Qin Yin style, without punctuation, like a long poem sung by a poet.
The door is closed, and there are ancient animal patterns on the door, painted with gold paint. The streets around the mansion were extremely deserted, and even the patrolling soldiers were nowhere to be seen. Outside the mansion, you can see the towering magic tower in the distance. The eight-story magic tower is not hidden. It is condescending and exudes majesty that cannot be hidden.
This is the residence of the prince of the empire. There is an eight-story magic tower in the prince's palace, which is nothing. After all, there are three nine-story magic towers in the palace, which cannot be regarded as exceeding the limit.
On weekdays, the place is crowded with cars and horses, and guests are like crucian carp. But since Princess Rex returned to the imperial capital, Prince Sephiroth simply closed the door and refused to host meetings in the House of Commons.
No one could guess what the prince was going to do, and no one dared to cause trouble. For three days in a row, the door of the prince's palace was closed and it became increasingly deserted. A black crow flew from the sky and headed straight for the palace. When passing the courtyard wall, it was as if we had passed through an invisible water barrier. The air rippled and the crows disappeared.
There is a lake in the back garden, and on the bluestone beside the lake is a chess game. Two middle-aged people were sitting upright, and three young people were watching the battle. The crow appeared directly beside the bluestone. The young man with the most handsome appearance stretched out his hand to grab it and spit out a miniature scroll from the crow's mouth.
The chess game has become intense. The black square's piece representing the magician is trapped. The red square is pressing forward step by step. The piece representing the soldier is close to the black square's king.
The middle-aged man in charge was wearing a cotton robe without any luxurious decorations. His appearance was somewhat similar to that of Emperor Qin Yin, but he was slightly younger and had a bit more arrogance between his brows.
The middle-aged man who fought with him was dressed as a military general and looked much more handsome. He had a short beard and a resolute expression. Both of them were staring at the chess game, not looking at the letter the young man had received.
Seeing that the black king was about to be killed, the middle-aged man holding black suddenly moved the cannon that had been in the corner and directly ate the guard representing the red palace swordsman.
This move is a sharp counterattack. If the red side comes back to support, the chess piece representing the magician can kill all the soldiers approaching the black king.
The short-bearded general pushed with both hands, disrupting the chess game, and said: "This chess game, the magician's power is too strong, it's boring."
"No matter how strong you are, you are still a chess piece. The one who decides the outcome is the one who commands the chess pieces."
The general laughed and said: "You are a prince, of course you can say that. I am just a general. On the battlefield, the magician must always be considered first."
The man wearing a cotton robe and an ordinary face is the only prince of the Qin Empire, Sephiroth. Not only do he and Emperor Qin Yin have similar faces, they are also very similar in their dress. They don't like luxury.
"Of course, magic is the foundation of a country. Vincent, please tell me your opinion on big brother." Prince Sephiroth changed the topic and suddenly asked a question that no one could answer. His Royal Highness’s eldest brother is, of course, Emperor Qin Yin.
"What's there to say? Rex is also a member of the royal family. How can I get in the way?"
"Stani is also a member of the royal family, why are you out of sight?" Sephiroth pointed at the handsome young man and asked.
Vincent looked at his son, sighed and said: "You also know that your sister is inclined to His Majesty. There is nothing I can control at home."
"Stani, what did the letter say?" Sephiroth did not continue the topic. Although his brother-in-law was the Duke of the Empire and commanded half of the garrison in the imperial capital, he did not dare to accuse the emperor of anything. It was all a family matter. His sister was dissatisfied with Rex being sent away. Of course, Vincent had no choice but to avoid the topic, otherwise the family would be in chaos first.
"Uncle, this is an urgent report from Garulan." Stany was not only beautiful, but also smart and capable. The two young men around him did not have such a temperament.
"Jialulan, hey, brother, this is for Rex. If we establish a country at this time, I'm afraid we will take back Galulan's land."
"Father, the Holy See in the west is going to declare war anyway, so let Rex do it, so what does it matter." A young man also wearing a cotton robe interjected.
Sephiroth looked at his son with a blank expression. The atmosphere was a little tense. After a while, he said: "If you had half the talent of Rex, why would I be upset? You two... "
Sephiroth couldn't go on. Even if he was extremely powerful and powerful, he still couldn't do anything to his two sons. The royal bloodline of the Qinyin Empire was originally rare, and each one was extremely precious. If these two sons were born in ordinary families, they would definitely be considered young talents, but in the royal family, one person has to bear too many things.
A person's innate temperament cannot be changed. Sephiroth sighed and said to Duke Vincent: "My eldest brother used the matter of establishing a crown prince to suppress me and insisted on letting Rex establish a country. This is not a wise move. If the House of Commons objects. , if I suppress it forcefully, all these years of hard work will be in vain. We are about to use troops, and by doing this, my brother is adding chaos to the empire."
When Prince Sephiroth said this, there was a hint of hatred. For the sake of the empire, neither of his sons was assigned important positions, and he did not even think about the inheritance of the throne. The eldest brother, as an emperor, did such a ridiculous thing because he doted on his daughter.
But there is nothing he can do. If he were replaced, the empire would be even more chaotic.
"Uncle." Stany bravely called out. He also saw that Prince Sephiroth was not in a generally bad mood.
"Stanney, tell me, what's in the letter?"
"The Grand Duke of Garulan was assassinated. There is no danger to his life. However, the border is already extremely tense. The Holy See will take action in the autumn. The black magicians cannot destroy it and have destroyed more than a dozen small towns. The Grand Duke requested the empire to send troops."
Sephiroth and Vincent looked at each other, unable to remain calm. The two stood up. Sephiroth said: "Vinson, you go back to East Town. I can't hide from my elder brother anymore. There is something fishy about this. The black magician has entered the city." There are not many in Loulan, and it is definitely not an accident that it spreads so quickly. If I don’t go, my eldest brother will probably let Rex lead the army. No matter how smart she is, she will not be able to cope with this situation."
"Stani, you stay and come with me to see His Majesty." Prince Sephiroth said nothing else and left the backyard directly, took his soldiers with him, and drove to the palace.
He had no choice but to be impatient. Garulan was a barrier to the empire and had strong soldiers and horses. To ask for help at this time showed how bad the situation was.
Salin had already left the palace. Princess Rex put on the mage robe and led Salin towards the south of the city.
"Princess, where are we going?" Salin was very uneasy. Sika and Nailis were not around, and he didn't feel safe. And he sneaked out with Rex. If the emperor was angry, it would definitely not be the princess who was punished.
"Going to meet someone." After Princess Rex put on the mage robe, she returned to her original appearance. She looked like a kind magician, without the airs of a noble, nor the majesty when speaking to soldiers. .
"Princess Princess..."
"Call me Lace, but only for this period of time, go back..."
"I know." Salin shut up depressedly.
Princess Rex's eyes flashed with innocence, and she said to Salin: "Are you angry?"
"No, I just think that you powerful people are always fickle." Salin was not afraid of offending Rex. She brought her to the imperial capital, something must have happened, and she would not be angry because she told the truth. She is a princess and a magician, so there is no benefit in lying to herself.
"Not just people, everything in this world is constantly changing." Princess Rex's answer was like a standard magician's proverb.
The imperial capital is prosperous. The further south you go, the more civilians there are. There are many shops. The two of them are walking on the street. Because they are wearing mage robes, no one will bother them.
"It's so nice here. In my hometown, the total number of people in the entire city seems to be less than the number of people on this street." Salin looked at the crowd on the street, feeling a little unreal. The loneliness seems to be far away, and there is an inexplicable warmth in my heart. The book says that human beings themselves are a kind of social beast. Once they stray from the group, they will become depressed and even die.
"We're almost here. When you meet the master, don't talk nonsense." Princess Rex led Salin into an alley. This alley was very clean, unlike Ceylon City, where the ground was full of water. There are huge trees behind the high walls on both sides of the alley. The trees shade the sun and the wind blows, making it extremely refreshing.
