The chirping of eagles breaks through the sky, caged on Mount Sumeru in the depth of winter.
One after another, the flying eagles flew across the sky, fluttering their wings and flying towards the west between the golden pillars where the sunlight fell.
Xia Ji closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the back of a golden eagle, his black hair moving in the wind.
Huixin sat next to him, glanced at His Highness sitting in the sky, and closed her eyes without saying a word.
As she practiced with His Highness, she felt extremely calm in her heart. It was difficult for fairies to become a great person, which destined the path of practice to be even more difficult. Therefore, she especially cherished His Highness. If she had originally taken a fancy to Xia Xiaosu's kindness and decided to form an alliance. , now she has been impressed by the Seventh Highness.
When he was in the Eagle Clan, after reciting Xia Ji's scriptures, the Eagle King healed his state of mind. This time he was on the verge of being frightened and broken, which was a blessing in disguise. He had a glimpse of the higher realm of the Eagle Clan's martial arts, so he went into seclusion.
Before the retreat, the Golden-robed Eagle King sent one of his confidants to be the mount of His Majesty the Seventh Prince.
If His Majesty the Seventh Prince only showed his powerful power to convince him, then he would be afraid at most, and at most he would just send an ordinary hawk demon and end the matter unwillingly.
But ever since his spirit merged into that vast spiritual power, the weight of the Seventh Prince of the Great Shang in his mind has been completely different.
The Eagle King has considered himself a disciple, and after knowing that the Huixin Fox King actually converted to His Highness, the Eagle King completely let go of the last trace of rebelliousness in his heart.
…
The golden eagle flew over the towering mountains, turning the undulating route into a straight line.
The next morning, we arrived at the entrance of Mount Sumeru.
Huixin opened her eyes first and glanced at her feet. She couldn't help showing a strange look, "Your Highness, there are many soldiers at the entrance of Mount Sumeru. They are forming a shield formation to block the only passage."
The flying eagle lowers.
Xia Ji saw many confrontations between warriors and soldiers.
Soldiers surrounded five levels. The first two levels held large shields high. Behind the two shield walls were spearmen and crossbowmen. After these four levels, there were soldiers lined up. After the soldiers, there were many more. A few soldiers formed a small square formation. Looking down, there were 20,000 soldiers.
The general behind the formation was Deng Gongjiu, whose body was taken away.
There were several handsome guards beside Deng Gongjiu. At first glance, they were disguised as vixens, and these guards wrapped around a girl riding a white horse.
The girl was wrapped in a pale gold robe. Even if thousands of troops surrounded her, and even if her clothes were gorgeous, the desolation condensed on her body could not be dissipated. She was weak and small, sitting on a white horse.
She is Xia Xiaosu.
The surrounded martial arts warriors tried to rush out, but they were shot back by arrows every time. Those who did not believe in evil and insisted on rushing forward would be shot to death directly, while some who were able to rush forward would also be shielded. Blocked by a wall and stabbed to death with a spear.
At this moment…
A sharp eagle call sounded,
Everyone raised their heads,
Dazzling golden light
I saw two figures falling from the sky.
Many powerful crossbows were immediately aimed at the fallen person. The cold light flickered, and the sound of trigger pulls containing murderous intent also sounded. The handsome guards beside Xia Xiaosu also drew their swords to block the princess, but after they saw the person clearly, He hurriedly sheathed the knife and wanted to call out "Huixin Ancestor", but immediately remembered his current identity and hurriedly kept silent.
Xia Xiaosu also saw the fallen young man, and she raised her voice: "It's His Highness Seventh."
As soon as the voice fell, all the crossbows moved away.
Xia Ji glanced at the army. It was really not easy for Xiao Su and Hu Xian'er to be able to control it to such an extent. And the fox who had seized the body could actually control an army. He was obviously proficient in the art of war. It seemed that the demon clan There was no shortage of preparations for this day.
Xia Xiaosu fell off the horse. Although her hands were shaking, her posture was heroic...
She walked up to Xia Ji, lowered her head, and called softly: "Brother."
Xia Ji smiled and ruffled her hair, "You received the news and were worried about me, so you led the troops here?"
The Ninth Emperor's daughter nodded and glanced at the beautiful nun behind her brother. Huixin smiled at her and nodded. Xia Xiaosu asked, "Who is she? Why is she next to my brother?"
Xia Ji's voice transmission told her about Huixin's identity and what happened in the mountain. Xia Xiaosu was relieved when she heard that it was a fox demon. Xia Ji felt that her little sister secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but wonder: "What’s wrong with you?"
"nothing."
Xia Xiaosu replied softly, then took a step forward and raised his voice: "Surrender, or you will be killed without mercy!"
Her voice was not loud, but her words were quickly spread among the soldiers.
The confrontation and fighting lasted not long.
During this period, the martial arts warriors died, and the captives were captured.
After that, many warriors who escaped from Mount Sumeru were also captured.
In this current situation, there is a large army in front, Leiyin Temple behind, and goblins from the tiger and fox tribes in the north. There are hawks flying and circling in the sky to help watch. As long as these hawks do not show their human form, they will not Some people knew they were monsters and thought they were waiting to eat the corpses.
Even though the warriors who appeared in the forest said that "the Seventh Prince colluded with the demon clan", no one believed it, especially when Monk Zizi of Leiyin Temple proved that "the Seventh Prince has been eating fast, chanting Buddha and meditating in the temple these days"...
Xia Ji asked: "What are you arresting these people for?"
His original idea was to disperse these people, and then kill the warriors who escaped from Mount Sumeru. Even if the remaining ones were spread again, they would not be afraid, and they could also spread contrary rumors, which were just talk anyway.
Xia Xiaosu said: "I think my brother collects books, not only for scriptures, but also for exercises.
Therefore, I vacated the original eighteen-story stargazing tower of the Supervisor Tiansi in the imperial capital and used it as a prison to hold these warriors and let them write down their own martial arts secrets and give them to my brother.
It is a taboo to reveal the sect's skills. These warriors will never be able to go back after betraying their sect. I just happened to recruit them for our use. "
"Who taught you this?"
Xia Xiaosu thought for a while, "This world taught me."
She thought for a while and suddenly said: "Hu Xian'er has talked with me many times and said that my name is too soft and cannot shock others. I hope I can change it to another one. I thought about it for a long time and think what she said makes sense. .
Brother needs to concentrate on his cultivation and can't waste energy on these trivial matters, so I'm here.
These days, when I'm free, I always think about it: The end of this year is coming in a few days, and if I haven't received the Ancestral Dragon Initiation yet, I'm afraid there won't be any. I... I'm afraid I'm an ordinary girl that even my ancestors will turn their backs on.
Well, since I can't compare to all the royal brothers and sisters, I can at least make myself look stronger, and that starts with my name. "
The thin and pale girl looked up at Xia Ji, her eyes full of determination.
While the two were talking, there was another noise in the distance, and it was obvious that another group of martial artists had arrived.
The Ninth Emperor's daughter subconsciously turned her head to the side, and with this move, her eyes froze.
She saw Yan Ling.
"Brother, that woman..."
"I've met her."
"I...I will not approve of such a sister-in-law."
Xia Xiaosu's expression was very serious.
Xia Ji ruffled her hair and said teasingly, "How about your approval?"
Xia Xiaosu: "She is beautiful, sensible, good at martial arts, has a good mind, and knows how to live. The most important thing is to be gentle and considerate, and to treat you wholeheartedly..."
Xia Ji coughed and said, "You are dreaming."
far away…
Everyone in Qingya Villa was stunned when they saw this scene.
Some people were stunned when they saw Xia Ji and Xia Xiaosu in the crowd, and then looked at the many corpses on the ground and the warriors in iron cuffs in the distance.
Suddenly a disciple whispered: "Yan Ling, please go and beg His Highness the Seventh Prince to let us go."
"Yes, Senior Sister Yan, that Highness has an old relationship with you, and he will listen to what you say."
"We can swear an oath from our inner demons not to say anything about what happened in the past few days."
A group of disciples who had ridiculed Yan Ling all the way suddenly changed their attitude.
Yan Ling said: "You have been talking about his faults all the way, are you asking for mercy now?"
"Senior Sister Yan, is this the time to talk about this? Please go and beg for mercy..."
"Yes, Senior Sister Yan, we are all classmates who meet each other without looking up. Even if we say a few words, we are just chatting and joking."
Yan Ling was forced to come out. She took a few steps facing the shield formation and raised her voice: "Daughter of the people, please see His Highness Seventh Prince."
Just as Xia Ji was about to step forward, he was pushed back by a small hand. Xia Xiaosu angrily jumped on his horse, rode out of the line, stood behind the shield formation and shouted: "No."
When Yan Ling looked up, she obviously knew Xia Xiaosu and had met him before in the imperial capital.
Xia Xiaosu said directly: "After all the good things you have done, you still have the nerve to come in front of my brothers and sisters? Don't say anything today, give up your weapons and surrender, otherwise..."
She pointed at the corpses of many warriors on the ground and said coldly, "Kill without mercy."
Her voice was very weak, but it carried such special power that Yan Ling could no longer speak. At this moment, Yan Ling felt that the little girl who was once weak and prone to crying had changed.
The royal family are all dragons and phoenixes. It's not that they don't fly, but the time has not come yet, and if the wind and clouds meet, they will soar in the nine heavens.
His Majesty the Seventh Prince is, and so is the Ninth Princess...
