Chapter 2879
"Bold!" The royal envoy's eyes became cold and he shouted: "This is His Majesty's imperial decree. How dare you be so negligent and not kneel down to accept the decree!"
Xia Houchen on the side yelled angrily: "You are the one who is presumptuous. You are an envoy. You dare to speak like this to His Highness the Crown Prince. What crime should you be punished for!"
The royal envoy was stunned, and then looked at Xia Houchen in disbelief.
"Xia Houchen, as an angel, I represent the Supreme Emperor. How dare you contradict me? Do you want to rebel?"
Xia Houchen would never have been so rude before.
You must be respectful to the royal envoys.
However, only a few hours had passed since the Tianzhanmen battle. Xia Houchen already knew Long Xiaoshan's strength and was determined to follow Long Xiaoshan. Not to mention a mere royal envoy, even if Long Xiaoshan plotted rebellion now, he would still be determined. Follow to the end.
Therefore, Xia Houchen looked sideways at the royal envoy at this time and said coldly: "General, the military orders are not obeyed. Now His Royal Highness is guarding the southwest, working hard for the empire, resisting the invasion of Tiancanmen, and has made great contributions. Not long ago, I captured and killed the deputy sect leader of the Tiancan Sect, King Guijiao, but you, a mere envoy, used the imperial edict to fake the power of a tiger and wanted His Highness to kneel down. Can you bear the responsibility just by yourself?"
When Xia Houchen said it, he shouted loudly.
The royal envoy's face turned green and white, and he was about to have an attack, but there was a hint of horror in his eyes. It was obvious that he had heard of the name of King Guijiao. He was the deputy sect leader of the Tiancan Sect, and his combat power was close to the Tianbang level.
If Long Yin really captured and killed the Ghost Foot King, it would be an unparalleled feat.
In the entire Qianlong Empire for hundreds of years, no one could match him. After all, this kind of strong man was almost unstoppable unless the emperor of the Qianlong Empire took action. But how can a person of that level fight against each other unless the two major forces fight to the death.
The envoy still didn't want to believe it and said: "What evidence is there for capturing and killing the Ghost Foot King?"
"Do I need to report the evidence to you? I will report it to the royal family later. Stop talking nonsense and read out the imperial edict quickly!" Xia Houchen said unscrupulously.
The royal envoy was really furious.
In all his years as an envoy, he has never encountered such an arrogant and domineering person.
They simply no longer take the royal family into consideration.
If God wants to destroy people, he must first make them crazy. He suppressed the raging anger in his heart, knowing that there was no reason to argue with these crazy people. In the other party's territory, he would be at a disadvantage if he really fell out.
The envoy shook off the jade slip in his hand and read in a cold voice: "The emperor has issued an edict that His Highness Longyin has made great achievements in guarding the southwest. He will immediately follow the envoy back to Qianlong City to confer the title."
After reciting, the messenger handed the jade slip forward. Long Xiaoshan did not stand up. He raised his hand and grabbed the jade slip. He took a look and put it on the table: "I know, you can go down first. "
The envoy said: "Your Highness, His Majesty the Emperor wants you to follow me back to the Imperial Capital immediately."
Long Xiaoshan said calmly: "I will go back, you go down first."
The messenger had no choice but to leave the hall.
Xia Houchen came forward and said: "Your Highness, this imperial edict comes strangely. Long Yin was sent here before, and his superiors have been asking him to guard the border. Now that you have just returned, this edict has arrived, and it also said that you will be granted a title. It must be There is fraud.”
Long Xiaoshan nodded slightly. He did not hide his identity after he came back. Many people already suspected that he was a fake prince. It was easy for the cultivation world to pass the news, not to mention that he had driven away the Zhou family. It was normal for the royal family to receive the news.
Long Xiaoshan squinted his eyes and gently touched the table with his fingers.
The tree wants to be still but the wind doesn't stop.
The identity of His Highness the Crown Prince cannot be guaranteed after all, unless he is willing to hide it all the time, but now, does he still need to be timid
Originally, he was still hesitant about what to do next with Longmen.
But now that things have caught up, it happens to be solved together and all the troubles are eliminated.
He said: "I'm going back to the imperial capital. If you keep an eye on this place, let me know if there is any change in the Blood Alliance."
Xia Houchen's breathing tightened slightly and he said: "Your Highness, are you preparing for a showdown with the royal family this time you return to the capital?"
Long Xiaoshan said calmly: "Let's see."
After saying that, he stood up and walked outside.
A sharp sword light split through the air and quickly entered the city lord's palace. It happened to collide with Long Xiaoshan. The sword light dispersed violently, revealing a white-haired figure holding a black knife in his hand.
As soon as he fell, the entire void seemed to be filled with red snowflakes, which was extremely biting.
"Zhu Hongxue." The corner of Long Xiaoshan's mouth curled up.
That white-haired figure was none other than Zhu Hongxue, the ruthless swordsman who was the most talented person in the Qianlong Bang battle.
The two got to know each other due to the Battle of Qianlong, and later met again in the Ancient Mirage Palace and became friends. Long Xiaoshan formed the Dragon Gate and drew Zhu Hongxue into his sect. However, Zhu Hongxue has always been a loner. Even if he joins the Dragon Gate, he will not be able to live alone. Part of the time he was training outside. Since Long Yin led his people to guard the southwest border, Zhu Hongxue also followed, but he always acted alone and could not see him for half a year.
I didn't expect to come back today.
Zhu Hongxue stared at Long Xiaoshan. After a moment, he said: "Shan Long."
Long Xiaoshan no longer uses the face of Shan Long. Zhu Hongxue actually recognized him at a glance, instead of thinking that Long Yin had a more similar face. Could this be the swordsman's intuition
Moreover, Zhu Hongxue's aura was much stronger than a few years ago.
We have already entered the middle stage of the golden elixir. You must know that it has only been a few years.
The progress was astonishing, something Long Xiaoshan had never seen among his peers, except for himself.
Long Xiaoshan shook his head: "Shan Long is my pseudonym, and my real name is Long Xiaoshan..."
After listening to Long Xiaoshan's explanation, Zhu Hongxue's expression didn't change at all. It was always hard for you to feel Zhu Hongxue's emotional fluctuations. He was like a knife without emotion.
In other words, all his emotions have been poured into the knife, which allows him to progress far faster than his peers.
This is an extremely pure person and an extremely terrifying swordsman!
Long Xiaoshan believed that without so many shocking opportunities, he would not be Zhu Hongxue's opponent.
"I have been operating on the border between Huadaowu and Tiancanmen. Xiahou Mulan sent a message saying that you are back. Long time no see." Zhu Hongxue said.
Long Xiaoshan's eyes moved slightly. He certainly knew why Zhu Hongxue went deep into such a dangerous place.
He said: "I said back then that I would help you destroy Huadaowu within ten years. It's time to fulfill my promise."
Zhu Hongxue's eyes shrank, and his eyes became extremely scary. Only talking about Huadaowu could make his mood fluctuate. After a moment of silence, he shook his head: "The situation is different now. Huadaowu has joined the Blood Alliance, and it has become more difficult." To shake things up, we need to take a long-term approach.”
Long Xiaoshan knew that Zhu Hongxue must not have known that Tianzhanmen had been destroyed by him, otherwise he would not have been so cautious.
He said: "Then wait a little longer, you come with me to the imperial capital."
