In this way, it can be seen that in the heavily fortified Haojing Imperial Palace, one person is riding a horse galloping, and the scenery is infinite.
When all the imperial guards saw Xiang Nan, they stopped and waited for Xiang Nan to pass before returning to normal patrolling.
At this time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were entertaining the envoys of the Jiuxiao royal family, that is, the twelve princes who were rescued by Xiang Nan.
And the Martial Dao Sect also came with many famous elders, including the Haoran Sect and the Royal Academy. They came to accompany them, because not only the Haotian Royal Family came here this time, but also the envoys of the Tianxuan Sect.
Xiang Nan didn't want to join in the fun, so he went to the sixth prince's study and waited.
Not long after, the sixth prince opened the door and walked in. He opened his arms and said with a loud smile, "My Xiang Shaofu is finally back."
The sixth prince was already very close to Xiang Nan, and gave Xiang Nan a big bear hug on the spot, and said happily: "I have heard about what you did in Jiuxiao, you have really made great achievements for our Haotian Empire." ah!"
"Good job!"
Xiang Nan took half a step back respectfully, cupped his fists and said, "It depends on the painstaking cultivation of the sixth prince that Xiang Nan is what he is today."
The sixth prince nodded approvingly: "I am going to make you the crown prince and tutor! The second rank of the official residence."
Xiang Nan's heart sank suddenly, and he hurriedly said, "This... forgive me, it's really hard to follow my orders."
Xiang Nan clearly regarded himself as a disciple, and he focused on reminding himself of his sect status, not his status as an official.
The sixth prince frowned and said, "Why, do you think the official is too small? Although the crown prince and Taifu have no military power, their rank is still not low."
"In the non-war period, there has never been anyone like you who ascended to the sky in one step and became an extremely human minister."
Prince Taifu is no joke, this kind of official position is enough for Xiang Nan to walk sideways in the entire Haotian Empire, and all state-level officials have to bow down when they see Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan hurriedly said: "Although this disciple was lucky enough to make meritorious service, but this disciple knows how much he has, so I'm afraid it will be embarrassing."
"What's more, the disciple is just a vulgar martial artist, not proficient in political affairs, please take back your order, His Royal Highness."
The sixth prince smiled, but his heart was already very cold.
He sat on the chair and said meaningfully: "You don't need to be the official position of Taifu, but you must give me this official title, otherwise I, Haojing, will be full of civil and military affairs, and I will be disappointed with my Haotian royal family."
"Whether meritorious service has been made repeatedly does not matter reward for merit? This is no longer a question of whether you want it or not."
Xiang Nan had no choice but to say: "If the sixth prince insists on being an official, then the disciple can only succeed in the name of Xiang Ru, and Xiang Nan is still a disciple of the Haoran Sect, and an ordinary warrior."
"En." The sixth prince nodded: "That's it. I will send an order to the world early tomorrow morning, and canonize Xiang Ru as the prince and tutor."
"This is what I promised you."
The sixth prince handed Xiang Nan a long wooden box.
Xiang Nan pulled out the wooden box with both hands, and there was a sheepskin scroll inside.
"This is the map of Shenlei." The sixth prince said: "This map was obtained 20 years ago. It was only because of my Haotian scout that I accidentally saw traces of Shenlei outside the outside world and drew the area where it haunted. come down."
"As for today, twenty years later, it is unknown whether the divine thunder is still there, and what kind of divine thunder it is."
"If it weren't for the long distance, I really want to go on an adventure myself."
"Thank you for the reward, Your Highness." Xiang Nan was overjoyed, and said, "I will set off immediately to prepare for the sect's qualifying competition."
"You didn't even attend the state banquet?" The sixth prince looked a little disappointed, and said, "You are the number one hero this time, if you don't come, it's a bit unreasonable."
Xiang Nan clasped his fists and said, "The number one hero is His Royal Highness Nine Princesses, and my disciples dare not ask for credit."
"I really can't keep you two, master and apprentice?" The sixth prince sighed, and said, "If Xiang Ru is there to assist me, why should my Haotian royal family be unhappy?"
"There are many Xiang Ru in this world, but there is only one Xiang Nan." Xiang Nan knelt down on one knee in front of the sixth prince, then stepped back and left.
The sixth prince was at a loss, and sighed: "In this world, how many people squeeze their heads and desperately want to get an official position."
"I have never seen anyone who does not want a high official, fame and status."
"Mr. Wuchen, you said I have anything else I can give him, as long as I have, I will definitely give it! But he doesn't want anything, how can I keep his heart."
A figure gradually gathered around the sixth prince, the man smiled slightly and said: "Your Highness, there is no need to stay, he is already yours."
"Everything Xiang Nan does is dedicated to Haotian, isn't it?"
"This kind of person, even if you don't give him any official position, he will be loyal to the country. Maybe the blue sky in his heart is not limited to the sky of the imperial palace, but the entire Haotian Empire."
"I'm afraid he will be snatched away." The sixth prince sighed.
That Mr. Wu Chen smiled and said: "If he can be snatched away, he won't come back this time, it's better to stay in Jiuxiao directly."
…
Outside Haojing, Xiang Nan showed the map in his hand, looking for the trace of Shenlei.
This time he didn't visit Princess Nine, he didn't like the sadness of parting.
"This divine thunder actually appears in the remote and harsh northern region." Xiang Nan frowned and thought.
There are still more than two months before the Zongmen qualifying competition, and this trip to the Northern Territory will be a long journey. I am afraid that after finding Shenlei, there is no need to come back, just go directly to the Nine Heavens Continent.
Because this time, the Jiuxiao Empire and the Haotian Empire were allied, Xiang Nan didn't have to be afraid of Tianxuanzong secretly intercepting him, so he directly stepped on the direct teleportation array between Haotian and Jiuxiao, and appeared directly on the Jiuxiao continent.
And using the Nine Heavens Continent as a transit point, it continued to transmit to the north, and successfully arrived at a place called "Black Cloud Continent" in the Northern Territory.
Then, continue to go north using the Black Cloud Continent as a springboard.
The Northern Territory is known for its harsh climate and tough folk customs.
There is only one southern region, and there is a boundless and vast area, which covers no less than a hundred continents.
And the overall area of the Northern Territory is even larger than that of the Southern Territory!
There are not only many human masters here, but also a large number of monster races migrated here 120,000 years ago, making this Northern Territory a mixed and extremely chaotic place.
But there are also advantages, that is, Xiang Nan came here this time not to compete with others for something, but to explore, to find the whereabouts of the God of Destroyer in the vast snowy area, and he should not be likely to conflict with others.
Destination, Beiyang Continent.
"Huh..." Xiang Nan was wearing a thick fur coat, walking in the boundless snowfield.
Looking around, there are white snow everywhere, and you can't see the edge.
In this pure white world, people will have a very strong sense of loneliness.
Xiang Nan wrapped his collar and exhaled in one breath. The breath immediately turned into hoarfrost and fell vertically.
"It took half a month just to go on the road, and there are still two full months to go." Xiang Nan rubbed his face that was paralyzed by the cold, and unfolded the map to look at it.
With his Tianyuan Realm strength, he was terribly frozen here, which shows how astonishing the temperature here is.
Most of the known species in the world cannot survive for more than a minute in such a ghostly place! Even many types of monsters that are not in the cold zone cannot survive here.
Xiang Nan took out a deer leg, and before he ate it, the deer leg quickly turned into ice, and he bit it down with a crunching sound.
Xiang Nan shook his head, wrapped his coat tighter, and walked away step by step on the snow field.
It was windy at this time, and the cold north wind in the sky was as fierce as a wind blade, even Xiang Nan didn't dare to take off easily.
