In the early days of the war, the three states of Fenghai County were taken away by the Shenglan tribe. After the war, they were taken over by the seventh prince.
But until now, it has not been returned to Fenghai County.
This matter is also reasonable. After all, the Seventh Prince has recovered those three states, and Fenghai County has also made preparations for compensation.
It's just that the Seventh Prince had no intention of negotiating before. There are still many Seventh Prince's troops stationed in the three states.
Because this is an internal matter of the human race, the Shenglan tribe will not interfere. However, these three states are rich in spiritual stones and have many mining areas that treasure refining materials. They are of great value to the future recovery of Fenghai County.
So can't give up.
Until this time, the Seventh Prince not only invited Xu Qing, but also revealed the details of the negotiation.
"Marquis Yao hopes you can go, but I didn't agree immediately. Fourth child, you can decide this matter yourself."
"But in terms of safety, there is no serious problem. If something happens to you during this trip, the Seventh Prince will inevitably be involved. With his character, he will not be so stupid."
Master Qi pointed out the stakes to Xu Qing.
Xu Qing pondered, thinking of some of Yao Hou's previous arrangements, including the county land that Fenghai County was secretly taking over.
There is no border with Fenghai County. It is useless to Fenghai County, but it has a different meaning to the Seventh Prince.
"Looking at it now, Yao Hou should have expected this. The layout is ahead, it is indeed clever."
Xu Qing thought for a while and realized that the senior brother hasn't come back yet, so he still has some time here.
Marquis Yao's expectations, Master's inquiry, and after going out, he saw that everyone was working for the stability of Fenghai County. Since he had enjoyed most of Fenghai's luck blessings, he naturally had to bear the corresponding responsibilities.
.
In addition, Xu Qing knew very well that the day his senior brother returned was the day he was about to leave.
Xu Qing has also explored the location of the Moon Sacrifice Domain. It is very far away from Fenghai County. On the other side of the Shenglan Domain, it is blocked by a long river called Sacrifice Yin.
During the time of the Ancient Emperor Xuanyou, that place was naturally the domain of the human race. It was then lost and now it no longer belongs to the Black Sky Clan.
But it has another name within the Black Sky Clan.
Spiritual confinement.
Zhi has many meanings. It can describe a garden where livestock is raised, or it can also be a metaphor for a place where the essence gathers.
As for the specifics, there is no more description in the information Xu Qing checked, which may be the reason why the captain wants to go out to collect more information.
So Xu Qing wanted to do something for Fenghai County before leaving, so he didn't refuse.
Just like this, a few days later, a large army set off from Fenghai County.
This trip was led by Li Yunshan, the master of the Sword Palace, and accompanied by the two new deputy palace masters of the Fengxing Palace and Silu Palace.
There are also six deacons from the Third Palace accompanying him.
As for the army, it was also based on the Sword Holding Palace. Twenty thousand people were selected from those who had experienced hundreds of battles and left Fenghai County in a mighty force.
Kong Xianglong was also on this trip.
After the Juncheng Incident, Kong Xianglong seldom drank alcohol. Apart from his own cultivation, most of his energy was put into the Shuling Division, which gave him great power.
He was even more valued by Li Yunshan and trained as the future successor of Fenghai County's Sword Holding Palace.
The army roared, thousands of huge warships galloped, and huge shadows fell, covering the mountains and rivers on the ground.
At the front is a huge ancient bronze sword, with Li Yunshan and the powerful Guixu warriors from Fenghai County on top of it.
After the ancient sword, there are the big wings of Master Qi. Its black body gives people a sense of chilling, setting off strong winds that envelope all directions.
Xu Qing stood on the balcony of the big wing, looking at the sky and the earth in the distance.
The mountains on the ground are undulating. After being teleported several times, the place where the army appears now is the original western front line.
Arriving here, all the spaceships stopped in the sky.
Countless eyes fell to the ground, looking at the land that had not yet fully recovered and the several ravines where the owner of the sword-holding palace fell into, and the place where... the palace owner died in the battle.
Everyone lowered their heads and paid silent tribute.
Xu Qing stared and bowed deeply.
Kong Xianglong was beside Xu Qing, his face expressionless and he just closed his eyes.
After a long time, the airship in the sky continued to move forward, leaving this sad battlefield and heading towards the Shenglan tribe.
Kong Xianglong opened his eyes and did not look behind him. Instead, he looked in the direction of the Shenglan clan and spoke calmly.
"Xu Qing, actually I want to see what these outstanding human beings from the imperial capital are like."
After Kong Xianglong took charge of the Shuling Division's state-wide layout, he changed his clothes. He was now wearing a black armor, and his whole person exuded a sense of solemnity.
His eyes are cold and his expression is calm and intimidating.
In this look, he already vaguely resembles the old palace master.
His cultivation level has also improved. Two years ago, he was one of the ten Heavenly Palaces. After experiencing many things, as the first genius of Fenghai County, he not only increased the number of Heavenly Palaces, but also gradually transformed into Nascent Soul.
Kong Xianglong's choice was the same as Xu Qing's before, to wait for all Nascent Souls to be formed before going through the fate tribulation in order to gain more destiny.
It can be seen from its aura and fluctuations that the tribulation can be ushered in within a few months at most.
"It should not be easy for each of them." Xu Qing said softly.
In this way, time flew by and several days passed.
After entering the original territory of the Shenglan Clan, the Fenghai County group had a smooth journey without encountering any dangers or obstacles. With the help of the teleportation array here, they arrived at the former Tenchang Tree area at dusk on the day of the Seventh Prince's private banquet.
This place is completely different from what Xu Qing remembered.
Looking around, there are all the military camps of the Seventh Prince's Imperial Capital Army, densely packed and boundless.
Returning here now, Xu Qing couldn't help but look up at the sky, and the previous scenes appeared in his mind.
After a long time, he withdrew his gaze. In the reception of the Seventh Prince, the army was arranged to camp outside, and he and Kong Xianglong were invited to go to the palace where the banquet was held.
As for Li Yunshan and others, they were not together.
After all, in the eyes of the seventh prince, there were only a few people in Fenghai County who could be remembered by him. The reason why Kong Xianglong was invited here was because of his grandfather.
So, not long after the army was stationed, Xu Qing and Kong Xianglong followed the Seventh Prince and entered the small country called Techi. They saw every ten houses and nine empty houses along the way.
This place has been completely occupied by the imperial army. The entire city is filled with a murderous atmosphere, and there are dried blood stains on the ground.
In comparison, the dark blue palace was particularly conspicuous in the city, and the sounds of singing, dancing, music and laughter inside it also spread out and fell into the ears of Xu Qing and Kong Xianglong.
The two looked at each other with calm expressions and walked into the palace where a banquet was being held.
The moment they stepped into the luxurious palace, the sound of singing and dancing was still there, but the laughter and chatter stopped, and eyes focused on the two of them.
Similarly, everything in the palace is also reflected in the eyes of Xu Qing and Kong Xiang.
The seventh prince was sitting in the front seat, smiling and looking at Xu Qing.
Next to him, there is a beautiful-looking woman with a cold expression, who is in the same seat as him, showing that they have equal status.
Under the two of them, there were more than a dozen young people on the left and right sides of the main hall. They were both male and female. Most of them had good cultivation. They were at least Yuanying. There were even a few who were emitting fluctuations from the spiritual treasure.
Most of them have outstanding looks and gorgeous clothes. Although there are a few commoners, their star-like eyes and unique temperament make those few commoners even more special.
And from the eyes and expressions, it is difficult to tell the attitude of these people. After all, Gui Wei, who grew up in the imperial capital, does not say how deep their palace is, but at least they have the basics.
When they looked at Xu Qing and Kong Xianglong, the seventh prince raised his hand slightly, and immediately the singing and dancing in the hall dispersed, the music stopped, and his laughter came out, his voice gentle.
"Xu Qing, Kong Xianglong."
Xu Qing looked solemn, cupped his fists and bowed.
"I've met His Highness Seventh Prince."
Only reckless people will reveal all their innermost likes and dislikes, and this type of people obviously does not exist here. Even if they do exist, they often do it deliberately.
For example, Kong Xianglong had no expression on his face. Although he bowed, no words came out.
The Seventh Prince didn't seem to mind Kong Xianglong's actions. He looked at Xu Qing with admiration in his eyes, and then spoke to everyone.
"This is Xu Qing from Fenghai County whom you mentioned before. He was commended by the Emperor Father and given a gold medal, a yellow robe, the qualification to be an imperial scholar, and first-class military exploits from the human race."
After speaking, the Seventh Prince pointed to the people at the banquet and began to introduce their identities to Xu Qing.
"Xu Qing, this is Zhou Tianzhi. He is the genius of Tai Sui Academy in the imperial capital. He is very talented."
"This is Luo Jinsong, a descendant of Luo Yuntianhou."
"This is Fairy Liuling. She is from the Creation Mansion, and the Creation Mansion studies gods. Our human race, Dawn Sun, also has their work."
"This is the grandson of our Imperial Lieutenant Meng." The Seventh Prince smiled and introduced Xu Qing one by one.
Most of the people here are descendants of Guwei, and their families either have had Tianhou, or they have ancestors who are in high positions, and there are a few who are famous in the imperial capital.
"There is also Huang Kun. Brother Huang is from the same family as Xu Qing. He serves in the Sword Holding Department, and his ancestor is the chief deacon of the Sword Holding Department among the five departments of Chaoshangxuan."
Those cultivators he pointed out also smiled and nodded to Xu Qing.
Xu Qing returned the favor one by one.
One of them caught Xu Qing's attention.
"Xu Qing, you may have never seen this person, but he is also from your Fenghai County. Zhang Qifan, the genius of Taixu Demon Sect, went to the imperial capital for study tour thirty years ago and recently returned with the princess."
The person introduced by the Seventh Prince was a middle-aged man. He stood up and clasped his fists towards Xu Qing, his expression filled with emotion and appreciation.
Finally, the seventh prince looked solemn, stood up and bowed to the cold-winded woman beside him, then turned to Xu Qing and spoke.
"Xu Qing, this is my sister, Princess Anhai."
Xu Qing remained calm, cupped his fists and bowed.
"Meet the princess."
Next to him, Kong Xianglong also bowed his head in greeting.
Princess Anhai remained cold, nodded slightly, and said nothing.
The seventh prince looked at this scene, his eyes narrowed slightly, then quickly returned to normal, and asked Xu Qing to sit down.
Xu Qing nodded and sat with Kong Xianglong at the end of the left side of the hall, near the door.
As they sat down, the singing and dancing here resumed, and the sounds of laughter and chatter were heard again. Zhang Qifan, the Taixu Demon Sect sitting opposite Xu Qing, picked up his wine glass and saluted Xu Qing from a distance.
The smile on his face is sincere and full of emotion.
Xu Qing saw it, raised his glass, and after drinking it, a voice came from beside him.
"Xu Qing, I shouldn't be presumptuous when we meet for the first time, but I'm extremely curious... What did you answer when the emperor asked your heart, that you were so surprised?"
The person who spoke was not Zhang Qifan, but the young man sitting on the left side of the table where Xu Qing and Kong Xianglong were.
He was wearing a light yellow robe. Although he was handsome, his expression seemed to be accustomed to being gentle, making him look kind-hearted.
At this moment, he looked at Xu Qing with a smile on his face.
Xu Qing remembered that when the Seventh Prince introduced him, he mentioned this person's identity. He was the grandson of the current imperial officer, and his name was Meng Yunbai.
As Meng Yunbai spoke, the woman sitting on the other side of him also looked over.
This woman is dressed in cloth and blue blouse. She is very simple, has a beautiful face, and has a ponytail. However, there are two children in her eyes, which reveal an evil spirit. Anyone who stares at her will instinctively be shocked.
The Seventh Prince introduced the girl as Fairy Liuling, a person from the Creation Mansion.
"You have the smell of gods on your body."
Fairy Liuling stared at Xu Qing. He looked young, but the voice that came out was that of an old woman, which was very strange.
Xu Qing turned her head, her eyes fell on Meng Yunbai, and then looked at Fairy Liuling. Just when she was about to decline, Meng Yunbai smiled and suddenly said.
"We can make a deal. You tell me the answer. How about I tell you which of these people here today has ill intentions towards you and the source of this ill will?"
Kong Xianglong was thoughtful after hearing this. He had already discovered that these people from the imperial capital were not simple.
And what this person should want is not to answer, but to express his own attitude, but it is not easy to judge whether his intentions are good or evil, but if he wants to try to influence Xu Qing's cognition, it can be easy.
Sure.
After all, what he said could be true or false.
However, in Kong Xianglong's mind, this trick was useless in front of Xu Qing.
Xu Qing glanced at Meng Yunbai, took out a jade slip from the storage bag, and handed it over.
"This is?"
Meng Yunbai raised his eyebrows, and after taking it, his consciousness swept away, his eyes widened suddenly, and he raised his head to look at Xu Qing.
"That's it? So complete!"
"Well, basically most of the questions and answers in the seven human counties in recent years are here."
Xu Qing spoke calmly.
This jade slip was purchased by the captain back then and later gave a copy to Xu Qing.
Meng Yunbai was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xu Qing suspiciously. He instinctively didn't believe it, but there were many answers in this jade slip, which were extremely detailed, and even marked the level of inquiry. At first glance, it seemed that a lot of money and effort had been spent to compile them.
Just as he was hesitating here, other people at the banquet unknowingly mentioned the topic of Krishna, the Son of God, who had appeared in this area.
Many people in the Shenglan tribe knew and heard about this matter. Although most of the participants died, the rumors could not be suppressed, and even the human race gradually heard about it.
"Speaking of this Son of God Krishna, although I don't know the details, I heard that the deep pit outside was formed because of him, which shows that his methods are shocking."
"It's a pity that no one knows why he appeared here and why the Tengu tree disappeared."
"The Heitian Clan is evil, and this Son of God is probably even worse. He cannot escape from the sacrifice. There is a high probability that he will sacrifice the Ten Intestine Tree of the Exian Clan to his master, the Red Mother."
"His Majesty the Seventh Highness made a triumphant return to the Shenglan Tribe. Can we find any trace of the Son of God Black Sky?"
Everyone spoke one after another, and when they mentioned the Son of God Krishna, no matter who they were, they all expressed fear in their words. It was obvious that the words "Son of Krishna" were very important to them.
The seventh prince shook his head.
"I have heard about this matter, and have also asked some Shenglan tribesmen. According to their description, the Black Sky Son of God has astonishing cultivation and a high status. He can wield the power of the Red Mother with just a wave of his hand, which makes the Black Sky tribe even more powerful.
The statue kneels down and calls the Lord."
"But it's a pity that he didn't leave any traces after he disappeared. However, the imperial sister should know more about the Black Sky Clan. After all, you are the supervisor of the Creation Mansion."
After the seventh prince finished speaking, he looked at Princess Anhai beside him.
Princess Anhai's face was expressionless, and her voice was as cold as her expression.
"This Son of God Black Sky should come from the Great Moon Sacrifice Domain, and only there can the real subordinates of Chi Mu be herding animals for him."
Xu Qing's eyes narrowed. This information was something he said he didn't know before. After hearing it now, he was thoughtful.
Next to him, Kong Xianglong picked up the wine glass and took a sip, trying hard not to look at Xu Qing.
He still remembers how Xu Qing and his senior brothers transformed into the Black Sky Clan in front of him, and then went to the place where they are now.
It was only after they came here that the news about Krishna's Son came out...
As for the others, after hearing Princess An Hai's words, they all nodded slightly, but the seventh prince suddenly looked at Xu Qing and spoke with a smile.
"Xu Qing, Fenghai County is not very far from here. Have you ever heard of this Black Sky God?"
"I heard about it afterwards." Xu Qing raised his head and looked into the seventh prince's eyes with a serious expression.
The seventh prince smiled and said nothing.
Xu Qing's eyes were as usual, without any change, and everyone here slowly changed the topic, talking about the important events of the Wanggu Ten Thousand Clan, such as the hunting of the Yanyue Xuantian Clan.
When talking about this matter, some people looked angry.
Regarding the return of the Shenglan clan and the contribution made by the seventh prince this time, the seventh prince always smiled at this moment.
He also talked about the situation in Dawning Sun and other human counties.
Occasionally, I will also talk about some anecdotes from other domains.
Xu Qing and Kong Xianglong had never heard of the following events and did not know the details, so they remained silent.
Until someone pointed the finger and led the topic to Xu Qing.
"Your Majesty, Seventh Prince, Luo has a straightforward personality and will offend others with his words. You reminded me of this before, but today... I still can't help it. Some people are really ungrateful and disgusting!"
The speaker was a descendant of Luo Tianhou. When the Seventh Prince introduced him, he called him Luo Jinsong.
When he spoke now, he was looking at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing looked calm. He had experienced too much ugliness in human nature when he was a child, so he knew very well that when a person first talks about his personality, it often means that his subsequent words are intentional.
At this moment, the sound of Meng Yun's white mosquitoes could also be heard in his ears.
"Brother Xu Qing, this Luo Jinsong's character is not as straightforward as he said. Let me tell you, except for a limited few of the so-called descendants of Tianhou in the imperial capital, most of them are just a shell of glory.
He doesn’t have much real power, and his bloodline has become even more mixed.”
"This Luo Jinsong is one of them. He is a bit clever and wants to follow the Seventh Prince, but the Seventh Prince doesn't like him. So today, he is going to attack you in public in order to please the Seventh Prince."
"He is not stupid, and he also knows that doing this may make the Seventh Prince unhappy. But as long as everyone thinks that he is the direct descendant of the Seventh Prince, then it doesn't matter whether he is or not."
"But he doesn't understand that cleverness is just cleverness after all."
When Meng Yunbai was transmitting the message, Luo Jinsong stared at Xu Qing with hatred in his expression.
"In order to rescue Fenghai County, His Highness the Seventh Prince endured tremendous pressure and fought against all opinions. When the human race and the Black Sky tribe were at war, he led an army to Fenghai to resolve the danger of Fenghai's survival. This was a life-saving grace."
"Since then, Your Majesty the Seventh Prince has taken the lead, fearless of life and death, and marched forward bravely. The Shenglan tribe has been retreating steadily. If it had not been for the breakthrough of his ancestors, today the entire Shenglan region would be the land of our human race!"
"Despite this, he has made an immortal contribution and has made the Shenglan clan return to the human race and shine in the past. However, behind the scenes, someone used despicable means to slander him! His Majesty, His Majesty, reprimanded His Majesty for his negligence!"
Confusing right and wrong and modeling facts, all these words can be said to be vivid and vivid in Luo Jinsong's mouth.
Everyone at the banquet fell silent for a moment.
The seventh prince spoke calmly.
"Shut up."
Upon hearing this, Luo Jinsong immediately stood up, bowed to the Seventh Prince, raised his head and said bitterly.
"His Royal Highness is kind-hearted and righteous, and does not want to argue with Xiao. However, Luo really can't stand it. Some people are so ungrateful after being saved from their lives. If he really has the ability, he would go and expand the territory by himself.
No need for intrigues."
After saying that, he sat down, picked up the wine bottle, and drank a big gulp of wine.
Everyone around looked at Xu Qing with different expressions.
The same is true for Meng Yunbai.
Xu Qing's expression did not change at all. Naturally, he would not believe all of Meng Yunbai's previous message.
At first glance, the source of Luo Jinsong's words was to express his grievances for the Seventh Prince, but Xu Qing's perception has now been adjusted and is no longer limited to the present.
He learned to look at problems from a broader perspective.
So this seemingly reasonable scene, but viewed from a different height, there are some clues.
It is difficult to say that Luo Jinsong's behavior was entirely to please the seventh prince.
It's more like deliberately opening some scars and causing waves.
Xu Qing glanced at the calm-looking Princess Anhai beside the seventh prince. He chose to remain silent and not get involved.
Next to him, Kong Xianglong was still focused on what was in front of him. His anger was rising at this moment, and when he was about to retort, Xu Qing raised his hand and put it on his shoulder, then stood up and looked at the seventh prince and princess.
"Your Highness, Princess, Xu has arrived for the first time today and is a little tired. If you have nothing else to do, please leave first."
The Seventh Prince had a profound look in his eyes, a smile appeared on his face, and he was about to speak.
But at this moment, Zhang Qifan, the genius of Fenghai County's Taixu Demon Sect, who was sitting opposite Xu Qing, slapped the table in front of him, and with a bang, he also stood up and glared at Luo Jinsong.
"What nonsense!"
"Zhang returned recently and communicated with the sect and many friends from back then. Only then did he know the truth about this battle and Xu Shuling's sacrifice!"
"You said the survival of Fenghai County should be rescued? Where are the reinforcements when Fenghai County is holding on to Shenglan's invasion?"
"When we sacrificed countless people on the northern front line in the western part of Fenghai County, where are the reinforcements?"
"We, Fenghai County, relied on the strength of one county to resist an area. We persisted for several months. The master of the sword-holding palace died in the battle, and countless people died in the battle. Who stood on the bones of these sacrificed people at that time?
, only have military achievements in your eyes?"
"At that time, as long as the reinforcements came early and even burned a stick of incense, the master of the Sword Palace would not die miserably. And as far as I know, the reinforcements set out from the imperial capital very early! Do they have to be almost dead before the reinforcements come? No
Just to worry about the living people sharing the credit!"
"As for the oversight...if Zhu Zhao is really allowed to take over, will Fenghai County still be the territory of the human race!"
"Whether it was an oversight, who knows?"
Zhang Qifan was filled with indignation and spoke angrily.
Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, and Kong Xianglong also understood at this moment and looked at Xu Qing.
This man's words were too abrupt.
Apparently someone wanted to use them as knives by force!
And some things are not suitable to be revealed directly when Fenghai County has just stabilized.
The time has not yet come. For Fenghai County, which has experienced wars and changes in the county capital, recuperation is the most important thing at the moment. If there is another disturbance, it will only cause greater turmoil.
The most important thing is that after experiencing all these disasters, Fenghai County does not trust any outsiders.
But obviously, someone has no idea what the purpose is and wants the water here to be turbid.
This chapter has been completed!
