Dragon City Hall.
"Sir, Lord Dragon Whisperer is not in the command hall."
A Dragon Realm soldier said respectfully: "She is in Bailu City now. I asked my subordinates to tell you that if you are looking for her, just go directly to the White Deer City Palace."
"oh?"
I frowned, and immediately took out the scroll to return to the city, and returned to Bailu City.
The white light flew past, summoned the cold iron horse, and galloped towards the palace. Just in front of the palace, a group of guards were heavily guarded. One of them shouted: "Who dares to trespass into the palace?!"
I pointed to the Dragon Realm emblem on the armor and said, "I'm here to find the Dragon Whisperer."
"Oh, it turns out you are from Long Domain. Please come in and I will take you to find Lord Mingyuechi."
"Thank you."
Entering the palace, bypassing a garden pavilion, and finally entering a side hall, there was a giant dragon hovering in the air outside the side hall. Feng Yu and Qing Ling were both there. In addition, Lin Xingchu, the lord of Mingyue Pond and White Deer City, Standing side by side in the hall, they seemed to be discussing something. After seeing me entering the hall, Lin Xingchu frowned slightly: "I remember you... Ding Muchen."
"See Duke Xingchu."
"No need to be polite." She said with a smile on her lips: "You are now Master Yuechi's right-hand man and one of the backbones of Dragon Domain. You are no longer just an adventurer in White Deer City."
"Thank you, Duke Xingchu."
Mingyuechi said: "There are no tasks for you in Dragon Territory today, but you can follow us to Xingqi City to participate in the new emperor's enthronement ceremony."
"Xingqi City?" I was surprised.
"Yes, it is the legendary imperial capital, the residence of Emperor Xia."
"Oh well."
"Let's go, it's almost time." Lin Xingchu waved his sleeves and led a group of generals to the outside of the palace. He said with a smile: "There is a moving formation in the palace that can be teleported directly to the outside of the imperial capital. This saves us a lot of time. Now The reason for going is to meet the new emperor, Master Yuechi, so Longyu doesn’t need to bring too many people there.”
Mingyuechi's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly: "I bring two dragon riders, Feng Yu and Qing Ling, plus Ding Muchen, that's enough."
"good."
Lin Xingchu nodded and said: "Then, I will only take a few generals from the White Deer Cavalry. The rest will stay and continue to guard Bailu City and perform their respective duties."
"Yes, Grand Duke!" All the generals handed over their hands.
It seems to be a systematic plot.
I followed Mingyuechi and frowned. Although this plot may not bring me any experience points, there is no need to stick to it. Experiencing some things will only be good for me, and there will be no harm. After all, The promotional slogan of "Tianxing" is "a game that is infinitely close to reality." If it is close to reality, then the relationship between the characters in the game must be handled well, especially the core characters such as Mingyuechi and Lin Xingchu, they should be closer Some.
In the Imperial Garden, a huge formation is emitting energy. A group of NPC spiritualists are activating the power of the formation. Each one holds a crystal in their hands and is buzzing. Some White Deer City warriors have already entered to clear the way.
"Please." Lin Xingchu smiled.
Mingyuechi nodded, jumped up, and took the lead in entering the formation. Fengyu, Qingling, and I followed closely behind. Our mission for this trip was to protect Mingyuechi and there was no room for failure.
"Shua--"
As soon as his eyes lit up, huge totem poles soaring into the sky appeared in front of them, including reliefs of divine dragons and sacred birds. Two rows of totem poles connected down the mountain and finally merged into a towering city.
Xingqi City, the legendary imperial capital.
There are auspicious clouds in the sky, and the overall structure of Xingqi City is made of unknown solid rocks. The city walls are erected, and the flag of the Xia tribe is flying above. Rows of soldiers with bright swords and armor can be faintly seen, creating a chilling atmosphere. , and outside the city are patches of school fields, now filled with an elite army and a sea of people.
The Forbidden Army, according to legend, was an army that only took orders from Emperor Xia.
Everyone rode their horses slowly toward Xingqi City. Even Mingyuechi, Fengyu, and Qingling also rode on their horses, releasing the three giant dragons into the air. Lin Xingchu, with dozens of generals in tow, joined everyone with a smile on his face. Heading towards Xingqi City.
After seeing the strict soldiers of the Forbidden Army, Mingyuechi frowned: "Mr. Xingchu, who controls the 700,000 Forbidden Army now?"
"The regent, Lu Tianyi, is the younger brother of Emperor Xia Lu Shanhe."
There was a trace of amusement in Lin Xingchu's beautiful eyes, and he smiled and said: "I am also a supporter of the little prince Lu Yun. If I hadn't stood up to everyone's opinions at the Golden Palace last time, I'm afraid the imperial power would have fallen by the wayside."
Mingyuechi asked: "Is the Xia clan's rule just to appoint the eldest son?"
"Yes."
Lin Xingchu said: "Emperor Xia died in the battle with the Nemesis, but he was too hasty and did not leave a legacy. Among his three descendants, the eldest prince Lu Hui was kind, and the eldest princess Lu Ning was too deep-minded. The younger prince is young and ignorant, so the only choice is for the eldest prince to take the throne, otherwise, our Xia clan may fall into chaos again."
I said: "Since the Forbidden Army has 700,000 people and is in the hands of the Regent, if we come with such a small number... If the Regent really has any ulterior motives, wouldn't we be doomed?"
Lin Xingchu couldn't help but chuckled and said: "You worry too much. Although the Forbidden Army has a large number of people, their cultivation is far inferior to that of the Templar Knights. Half of the Templar Knights today are in the hands of Luo Shuai from the Tower of Babel, and Ten days ago, Luo Shuai had led the Templar Knights and part of the Tongtian Pagoda Army into the imperial capital. The regent did not dare to overstep. Besides... "
She glanced at the Mingyue Pond beside her and said: "With the support of Dragon Speaker and Dragon Territory, how dare the regent have any different intentions?"
"That would be best."
I nodded and didn't speak any more, but I had almost figured it out in my mind. Lin Xingchu, Luo Ning and Long Yu supported the eldest prince, while the regent and the 700,000 forbidden troops supported the younger prince. The balance of strength between the two sides was There was an imbalance, so the eldest prince was appointed. Otherwise, Tiandu Kingdom would not have been without a king for so many years.
"Dong dong dong~"
The moment we entered Xingqi City, war drums roared and the city was decorated with lights. From a distance, a column of iron cavalry escorted a person to greet them. It was a young man in royal robes. After quickly dismounting, he raised his hands and said to Lin Xingchu and Mingyuechi. : "Mr. Xingchu, Lord Yuechi, you are finally here, I will personally greet you!"
"Your Majesty has embarrassed us too much."
Lin Xingchu immediately dismounted and knelt on the ground.
Mingyuechi also dismounted, but instead of bowing, he just bowed slightly and saluted.
"Your Majesty, it's almost time."
A man with a shrill voice who looked like an eunuch said: "The enthronement ceremony is about to begin. Your Majesty, please take Duke Xingchu and Dragon Whisperer to the ceremony immediately, otherwise you will miss the opportunity."
"Okay, you two, please!"
Entering the Imperial City, there were troops with golden flags and armor all the way to the left, and troops with blue flags and the Tower of Babel on the right. They were more like restraining each other than fighting each other. Seeing that I was a little confused, Fengyu leaned into my ear and laughed softly: "The upper class of the Xia clan has reached a balance point. The south can't do anything to the north, and the north doesn't want to do anything to the south. It has escaped a catastrophe and civil strife."
I nodded.
Soon after, the holy light shone in the air ahead, and a majestic, ancient and majestic palace appeared in front of us. The Golden Palace, the legendary residence of Emperor Xia, was right in front of the Golden Palace. Everyone dismounted one after another. I also collected the cold iron horse and followed closely. Behind Mingyuechi, I had the honor to observe this enthronement ceremony, which was of great importance to the Chinese theater of "Tian Xing".
In the main hall, the eldest prince Lu Hui seemed a little cautious. Surrounded by a group of people, he coughed and walked towards the end of the main hall with his sleeves rolled up. And at the end of the main hall, four majestic warriors wearing golden robes and armor were standing. The generals stood side by side, one of whom was Luo Ning. The four of them knelt down on one knee in a military salute and said in turn -
"Royal Commander Luo Ning, led the troops of Tongtian Tower to see Your Majesty!"
"Commander Qianbai, leading the Imperial Guards, is here to see Your Majesty!"
"The commander of the palace, Lie Kongshui, led the generals of the Western Region Protectorate to see your majesty!"
"Royal Commander Lu Xu, led by the generals of the Annan Protectorate, is here to see Your Majesty!"
The commander-in-chief in front of the four major halls, who holds most of the Xia clan's troops and can make the two main cities tremble with his stamp of feet, is now kneeling in a row, filled with the solemnity and majesty of a general who has fought hundreds of battles.
"Shuai Luo, Marshal Qian, Marshal Lie, and Marshal Lu, please get up!"
The eldest prince raised his hand, his eyes full of murderous aura, turned around and sat on the throne, saying: "Father died in the battle in the north, I swear to kill Kemir, to avenge my father, and for my Xia clan to be massacred by the Purgatory Legion. Thousands of people want revenge! The revenge for seizing the land must be repaid with blood!"
"The new emperor has such a strong tone!"
At this moment, a strange voice sounded, and a man walked out from behind the screen behind the throne. He was dressed in royal robes, with a faint teasing smile in his eyes, and said: "The northern purgatory territory, ten kings, hundreds of millions of troops, the purgatory lord There are many demons in Lin Li and the abyss, and our Xia clan only has a small corner of the land. Whether we can protect ourselves is not yet to be mentioned. To talk about revenge... it is too early. It is a good thing for the new emperor to want to establish some achievements, but don't rush for success. Send hundreds of millions of living beings of our Xia clan into a desperate situation that will never be restored."
The eldest prince stood up hurriedly and said respectfully: "Uncle."
This person should be the regent Lu Tianyi, the younger brother of the previous Xia Emperor Lu Shanhe and the uncle of the new emperor Lu Hui.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be formal."
Regent Lu Shanhe took a step forward, stood in front of Lu Hui, and said: "The new emperor is young, lacks qualifications, and lacks enthusiasm. In response to the advice of the ministers, I will continue to take charge of the government and assist the new emperor after he ascends the throne. Your Majesty, do you all have no objections?"
Suddenly, Lin Xingchu's beautiful eyes widened, full of cold energy, and he smiled and said: "Even if the new emperor is young, he is still assisted by the ministers in the Golden Palace. In this huge Xingqi City, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Why does it need someone to take charge of the government? In my opinion, just It’s time to speak openly and honestly, accept the opinions of everyone, and ultimately it is up to His Majesty himself to make the decision. The regent... originated from the chaotic times. Now that the north has been calmed down and the Xia clan is at peace, you should be your own Yuyang King!"
"Lin Xingchu, you..."
The regent was so angry that he was trembling all over and said: "Do you think that the White Deer Cavalry is really unparalleled in the world, and the person who wants to be the regent is not me, but you, Duke Xingchu, right?"
Lin Xingchu looked calm: "In the end, I will fight for the Xia clan in the south and north, and I will never complain. But the most terrifying thing is the struggle for imperial power. Now King Yuyang is really disregarding the world for his own selfish interests. Lin Xingchu is willing to lead the people of Bailu City , fight to the death with 700,000 forbidden troops!"
"铿铿铿~"
Behind Lin Xingchu, a group of White Deer City generals with extraordinary cultivation unsheathed their swords, and in an instant, their swords were at war.
