The fourth catastrophe has not yet arrived, or it may have already arrived, but we don’t know it yet.
But if it really happened, then there would at least be trouble for the Daqi royal family, and there would be some changes in the imperial preceptor, but nothing happened.
Xia Ji has now grown up to be polite, gentle and modest, and has turned into a handsome young man in troubled times. At this time, even a fool knows that this is a real talent, not a nerd.
The demeanor, eyes, walking demeanor, behavior and conversation are all from the inside out.
This is also the reason why there is poetry and calligraphy in one's belly.
Someone just says a word and people understand that person's style.
Some people say countless things, but they still make people think they are idiots.
This is also true.
Xia Ji was walking in the palace, soaking in goji berries and staying in the library. From time to time he talked and thought, even a blind man and a fool could feel that this person was different.
Even if he lowers his head, it is like a pearl hidden in a grain of rice.
Even though he doesn't seem to know martial arts, he's not even half as good as a dwarf.
As a result, all the ridicule and rumors that had existed came to an abrupt end.
at this time…
Summer has turned to autumn.
Xia Ji was in the kitchen, and Xiao Wu was beside him watching him cook.
Xia Ji was chopping mutton pieces.
He wants to make soup.
He remembered that this was the soup Xiaosu was best at cooking in the past.
He remembered this smell for fifteen hundred years, even during the years when the source of the fire calamity was counting silently and swinging his sword for fifteen armors, he could still remember it.
He didn't do well.
Xiao Wu looked disgusted at the side.
She stepped forward and grabbed the kitchen knife and asked Xia Ji to stand aside.
Xia Ji obediently stepped aside and stood beside her, leaning against the wall, watching the 1.5-meter figure lowering his head and concentrating on preparing mutton and making soup.
At this moment, Xiao Wu's shadow had completely overlapped with Xia Xiaosu's.
He knew that this was Xiao Su.
This is his sister.
He suddenly realized that this kind of Xiao Su, this kind of himself, was better than the master behind the scenes in the North, the first pope of the church, the Shenwu King, and the Black Emperor.
What reputation is needed to ascend to that supreme place
It's just a drag.
He is not trying to compete with anyone.
He doesn't work hard just to show off to anyone.
The Nine Ancestors are certainly the ultimate powerful enemy.
However, he returned from the hellish catastrophe and was transformed into a baby. After holding back his anger for fifteen hundred years, he turned into the fire of Nirvana between birth and death, and forged another kind of state of mind.
What he is comparing to is not his ancestor.
He will no longer regard his ancestor as his opponent.
What he desires is to be better than all the creatures in the universe since the beginning of the world.
Therefore, he must take one step at a time to make his realm so solid that no one has ever surpassed it and no one can surpass it.
He doesn't know how to do it.
But just like when he waved the sword for fifteen armors, at that time, he didn't know what to do.
Then, it is not just about transcending realms, but also having stronger power than any existence in every realm.
Isn't the most difficult, the most impossible, the most dreamy, and the most ridiculed road the road to the supreme
The road is the way.
Whichever way you go, you will reach that path.
The way of heaven.
Avenue.
It’s all Tao.
The road is not the road.
The road is well traveled.
The way is hard to find.
Are you following the path that everyone else is following, or is it your own unique path
Doo doo doo…
Doo doo doo…
The sound of the kitchen knife chopping on the chopping board, the sound of hot oil being poured into the pan, the sound of the shovel turning over, and the busy backs, and the fragrance that gradually begins to spread...
Xia Ji turned his head and looked out the window.
Outside the window, the green treetops have begun to fall leaves, and the flowers of Silverweed and Luanhua have been knocked to the cold stone ground after the autumn rain a few days ago, and were swept to the corner by the palace maid.
He rubbed his hands, white air rolling in his half-closed palms. He didn't think of anything in his mind, just waiting for the idle time to pass.
At this time, the past Xia Xiaosu and current Xiao Wu had already started to stir up trouble.
She divided two bowls, brought them to the table, tilted her head, and said with a proud smile: "Come and eat."
The words were full of superiority and pride.
Xia Ji came to his senses, ran over and started drinking soup.
Xiao Su asked: "Does it taste good?"
She wasn't asking, she was showing off.
Xia Ji was not angry with her, and hurriedly drank it regardless of how hot it was, while saying vaguely: "It tastes great, it tastes really good. There is no such delicious mutton soup in the universe."
Xiao Su was embarrassed by the praise, so she defended: "Last time I went to Zhenweifang in the city, the chef there also cooked very well."
Xia Jidao: "Anyway, it's not as good as yours. They cook a hundred pots, a thousand pots, and ten thousand pots, but they can't compare to this bowl."
Xiao Su's eyes widened for a long time, then she laughed: "Your mouth is so sweet."
As she spoke, she put an extra piece of mutton into Xia Ji's bowl, "Here you go."
Xia Ji smiled and said, "Thank you, Aunt Wu."
"Don't call me Aunt Wu, you look about the same age as me."
"What's that called?"
"Concubine Chan no longer calls me Sister Wu, so I'll call you Sister Wu instead."
Xia Ji said: "Then when I get older, can't I call you sister?"
"Bah! I'm an old witch. I don't even know how long I've lived."
Xia Ji smiled and said: "What a coincidence, so am I. Not only that, I also feel that I am a little older than you."
"Bah, bah, bah! When I grow up, I read too many books, and I become good at talking nonsense. I won't tell you anymore." Xiao Su pouted, thinking that the seventeenth prince was still well-behaved when he was a child, but he will be able to talk nonsense when he grows up. own mouth.
The two of them drank soup and chatted, and soon the afternoon passed.
…
…
In the early autumn, when it turned to the Mid-Autumn Festival, Qi Xiu, the king of Qi State, was suddenly infected with wind and cold. The wind and cold were nothing, but mainly caused the hidden diseases in his body.
He began to cough violently, and his morning visits only came once every half a month.
Qi Xiu felt that he might not be able to survive, so he was waiting.
Wait for a result.
The result of the confrontation between the prince and Feng Laiguo.
…
…
Mid-Autumn Festival, then late autumn, and then early winter.
Qixiu is getting worse every day.
In the entire imperial capital, even the homeless people on the streets can feel a strange atmosphere.
It was a turbulent and undercurrent atmosphere.
The second prince, the sixth prince, and the eldest princess seemed to have reached an agreement. They seemed to have gotten news from the front line and saw the emperor's current situation, so they were preparing to hatch a plan that no one knew about in order to complete the battle. , reverse the situation.
winter.
Heavy snow.
The army of 100,000 was defeated miserably, and only a few thousand men returned in ruins.
The reason for the defeat was simple. A strong man from the Wanjian Sect took action in Feglai Country.
Wanjian Sect seems to no longer care about the agreement of "tearing up the sect and not being involved in the fight between mortal dynasties". As for offending the five Qingfeng sects, they are not afraid. Anyway, they have already killed a Baili Peak master before.
The prince was arrogant and full of ambition when he left, but when he came back he was covered in blood, with pain hidden in his eyes. He tightly grasped the horse's mane with both hands, his eyes wide open at all times, and murmured "How could this happen?" ,how come… ".
He didn't understand why Wanjian Sect would take action.
What does Wan Jianzong want to do
Da da da…
The sound of horse hooves comes from the east.
Prince Qi Heng rode his horse into the east gate, but received cold looks.
It was actually not his fault that the sect took action.
This is simply not a level of power he can handle...
But no one will understand.
If you lose, you lose.
He silently endured these cold looks and went to the palace in the center of the capital.
But the atmosphere in the palace today is a little weird.
The guards in front of the door seemed reasonable and stopped the general whose armor was stained with blood, and only allowed the prince to enter the palace to report his duties.
The prince then asked the generals to go back.
He entered the first gate of the palace alone.
Go to the second door again.
The Imperial Palace of Qi State was impregnable, with four doors, followed by an open space in the square, leading directly to the main hall where the emperor went to court.
Qi Heng was immersed in decadence and annoyance. He bit his lip and lowered his head like a sinner.
The hands and feet are bound by invisible shackles and sink,
His back was slightly stooped as if he was weighed down by a heavy weight of failure.
He spurred his horse,
It was very windy and snowy.
The horse shook its hooves and passed the first gate.
At the second door, Qi Heng raised his head in surprise, but in his eyes was a young man waiting for him with his hands down.
Qi Heng said in surprise: "Brother Seventeen, why are you here?"
The boy waiting for him was Xia Ji.
Xia Ji said: "I happened to come back and saw you riding your horse in from a distance. I was waiting for you to enter the palace together."
Qi Heng sighed heavily, looked at him with complicated eyes, and suddenly said: "You and I have never been in contact before, why do you come here to welcome me today? Go by yourself and don't worry about me."
Xia Ji burst out laughing.
He stepped forward, took the horse's rope, and walked forward.
Qi Heng's horse is a famous horse named Lion Head. It is famous for its fierce temper and will not be touched by unfamiliar people, but at this moment, for some reason, it has become a well-behaved little rabbit. He was pulled away by Xia Ji.
Qi Heng's eyes were filled with tears, he wanted to say something else.
But Xia Ji said lightly: "Who do you think I am?"
Qi Heng then shut up.
It's human nature to seek benefits and flee to avoid harm, but this obviously does not include the seventeenth prince.
He looked at his younger brother and made a decision in his heart. With this defeat, the crown prince's position would probably be lost, but if he wanted to protect a younger brother who had never participated in the battle to seize the heir, he had to protect a younger brother who had no energy at all and only knew how to study. Brother, he can still do it.
It's just that this comes at a price.
But what's the harm
You gave me peaches, and I repaid you with plums.
So, the prince said: "Okay! Let's enter the palace together."
The wind and snow are charming, flying down into the imperial court.
The gentle and humble young man led the defeated prince's horse through the second gate.
Just as they were heading towards the third door, the iron door suddenly made a loud noise, and suddenly fell with a roar of strong wind, hitting the ground hard, blocking the way forward.
There was a look of astonishment on the prince's face, but then his expression changed and he reacted very quickly. He was about to turn around and exit the second gate, but almost at the same time, there was a heavy sound of the city gate pounding behind him.
The sound echoed, extremely harsh.
The second door was also closed.
Here is a larger patio and an aisle.
But now, it has become a Jedi.
It has become a desperate situation with no way forward, no way back, and can only wait for death.
The sound of dense footsteps soon came from the wall, and soon a few figures wrapped in luxurious robes, and many crossbow-wielding soldiers in black light armor ran up and surrounded the city wall from all sides.
The prince raised his head and saw that behind the cold light of the heavy crossbow arrows, he saw the second prince, the sixth prince, the eldest princess, and many other younger brothers and sisters.
He got it.
This is a killer.
It's your own end.
But this is not the end of the battle for the inheritance. After that, the second prince and the sixth prince in the city will still fight to win, but without the threat of themselves, these two people really have a chance.
He is experienced in dealing with matters, and there is no guarantee that the king of the country will still pass to him.
Everyone was about to shoot arrows when the eldest princess raised her hand to signal to wait.
She glanced at the city, frowned, and said sternly: "Seventeen, why are you down there
You...you run to the corner and hide! "
When she said this, the eldest princess glanced at Qi Heng again, "Prince, the intrigues for so many years should come to an end today. We have done a lot of things. If you die not unjustly, don't catch Shi Qi and be buried with him." .
Shi Qi is the purest one among us. No matter who sits in that position in the end, Shi Qi can accompany him to govern the country of Qi well.
Seventeen, he didn't deserve to die. "
The prince looked around and laughed sadly.
Keng! !
He took out the sword in his hand and wiped it towards his neck.
Xia Ji flicked his fingers, and a burst of just the right amount of energy sent the sword flying backwards.
This move shocked the prince and the people in the city.
The second prince said: "Old Seventeen, you study every day and you know kung fu? You hide it so deeply."
The Sixth Prince said: "But what's the use? Seventeen, do you want to die here? Is it meaningful? What are you studying for?"
Xia Ji said calmly: "Zhi Ge."
The Sixth Prince mocked: "Why stop the war?"
Xia Jidao: "In terms of ability, the eldest brother is actually the strongest, right? In terms of kindness, the eldest brother also does his duty. Besides, the eldest brother is also sitting in the position of the crown prince, so let the eldest brother take the position."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone around him couldn't help laughing.
The eldest princess raised her voice and said: "Seventeen, do you know what you are talking about? If you let him live, you will let us die. You don't understand how cruel the battle for the inheritance is. You don't understand anything."
The prince took a deep look at Xia Ji. He did not expect that this younger brother would value love and justice so much. At this time, he also said: "Seventeen, go to the corner. The eldest princess is right, you don't understand."
Xia Ji said: "I understand."
After saying these three words, he raised his hands.
The wind and snow in this world suddenly stopped.
He moved his hand again.
The wind and snow started to move again, and the white snow condensed, turning into thousands of pure white snakes and pythons, swimming in the air, lingering and whistling, running rampant, white lightning crisscrossed and stimulating, and the powerful crossbows of all the soldiers at the top of the city had already It was hit hard and flew away.
The crossbow fell in the air, just like meat falling into a pack of wolves, and in an instant it attracted many strong winds vying to hit it.
The crossbow bounced twice in mid-air and was torn to pieces!
Without long-range weapons, even if it was impossible to attack from a distance, it would be impossible to kill the prince from the top of the city.
Everyone was stunned...
The second prince quietly took out the long bow, but before the string could be pulled apart, it was blown away by the wind and exploded.
The gentle and jade-like young man raised his head and slowly walked to the center of the patio. As long as he raised his hands, there would be no weapons in this world.
The fourteen-year-old Seventeenth Prince raised his voice and said: "With me here, no one can die."
Everyone looked at him blankly and in disbelief.
The Seventeenth Prince seemed to have remembered something and said with a smile: "The Commander-in-Chief is destined to me. He started teaching me how to practice many years ago. Today is the first time he uses it."
