After Long Chen returned home, he stayed with his parents. Now that they are about to leave, Long Chen cherishes the time now.
During this period, Long Chen and Chu Yao went to the palace and saw Chu Feng lying on the dragon table in a daze.
"Why, you are going to be the emperor soon, are you feeling stressed?" Long Chen said with a smile.
When Chu Feng saw Long Chen and Chu Yao coming in, he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Brother Long, sister, why are you here free?"
"Let's see if you, the future emperor, are lazy. Sure enough, you didn't disappoint us." Chu Yao covered her mouth and chuckled.
Chu Feng blushed slightly and said unnaturally: "The empire is in a mess now. Such a big mess was thrown at me. I can't even sleep well."
Long Chen saw that Chu Feng's eyes were red and knew that this was due to excessive pressure on him. He shook his head and said: "The art of the emperor is to know people and use them well. Otherwise, you have to do everything yourself. It will be strange if you don't die from exhaustion.
Since ancient times, a wise king will always have some capable ministers around him, and a foolish king will always have some treacherous ministers around him.
It depends on how you distinguish between good and bad. The way to be a king is that you must have a pair of discerning eyes, a heart that is not easily deceived, and be able to control everything around you. When necessary, be cruel--
—Hands—spicy.”
Among the last four, Long Chen said something extremely gloomy, and Long Chen's expression was so serious that even Chu Yao and Chu Feng were shocked.
"As an emperor, you must be ruthless, not only to others, but also to yourself, otherwise it will be difficult for you to secure your position," Long Chen said seriously.
"Long Chen, now that the empire is at peace, Xia, who has always been eyeing Feng Ming, has fallen into civil strife. Feng Ming will not have any enemies in the future, why do you still want to scare Chu Feng?" Chu Yao complained a little.
"Sister, Brother Long is right. As an emperor of a generation, you must be ruthless to yourself. All the enemies of this generation have been wiped out by Brother Long and his uncle.
But when this country is in the hands of my descendants, they will also have to face powerful opponents. If they are not ruthless enough, only want to be comfortable, and cannot set an example for future generations, then Fengming will begin to decline from my hands and collapse among future generations.
, I am the sinner of our Chu family, Brother Long, I understand!" Chu Feng said.
"I don't think the title Brother Long is appropriate. I would be much happier if I were called brother-in-law," Long Chen said with a smile.
"Long Chen, you... bad guy" Chu Yao was thin-skinned after all, so she lightly hit Long Chen and ran away with a red face.
After Chu Yao left, Long Chen looked at Chu Feng and said, "Your sister and I are leaving Fengming. Actually, we are here to say goodbye to you this time."
A trace of pain appeared in Chu Feng's eyes: "I know, I heard that my sister and I have been dependent on each other since childhood, and we survived by pretending to be crazy and acting stupid. Now that we are finally free, we are about to separate.
My sister loves you very much, and I also know that you will cherish her as much as you cherish your own life, so I am relieved."
"Well, don't worry, I won't let Chu Yao be wronged," Long Chen said solemnly, which was considered a promise.
As soon as Long Chen and Chu Yao came out of the palace, they bumped into Fatty Yu. Now Fatty Yu was wearing court clothes. Not to mention, he was very stylish.
"Brother Long, I finally found you. We have prepared a banquet to see you off."
"How do you know?" Long Chen was stunned.
"It's better not to ask. There are few people in the entire imperial capital who don't know. Let's leave quickly. We won't come back until we get drunk today."
When Long Chen and Chu Yao arrived at Juying Tower, Shi Feng, Monkey and others had already arrived. When Long Chen arrived, they all stood up.
"Long Chen, are you really leaving?" Shi Feng said with some reluctance.
Long Chen nodded and said: "I want to go to a wider space and see it, Shi Feng, why don't you try it too?"
Shi Feng's eyes shone brightly, but then he shuddered, shook his head and said: "Let's forget it, with my little ability, it's not enough."
"Why are you so humble today?" Long Chen smiled.
"Haha, Brother Long, Shi Feng is not humble. He is reluctant to leave the imperial capital, but he is reluctant to leave a beauty." Monkey shouted at the side.
"Beauty?" Long Chen was stunned.
"Long Chen, don't listen to their nonsense." Shi Feng actually blushed a little.
"Brother Long, Shi Feng and you are brothers, but now you have a different relationship," one person said with a mysterious smile.
"What's the relationship?" Long Chen was confused.
"Hey, you guys will be brothers-in-law from now on," the fat man said with a wicked smile.
Long Chen and Chu Yao were both stunned. This news came too suddenly.
"Hey, the prince has already matched the second princess with Shi Feng. I believe it won't be long before Brother Shi can win the beauty back."
After hearing this, Long Chen and Chu Yao looked at each other and saw a trace of surprise and helplessness in each other's eyes.
The eldest princess and the second princess are not on good terms with Chu Feng. Now Chu Feng uses the second princess as a bargaining chip in order to win over the genius Shi Feng.
Originally this was an emperor's technique and it was very normal, but Chu Yao still felt a little uncomfortable.
Long Chen was under the table, gently holding Chu Yao's hand and saying, "Isn't it great that Chu Feng knows how to protect himself? We can leave with confidence."
Chu Yao nodded. Long Chen was right. If Chu Feng didn't understand the art of strategy, she would be even more worried.
Chu Yao suddenly smiled slightly, stared at Long Chen with her beautiful eyes and said: "Long Chen, I will go to Tianmu Palace then, you have to promise me to visit me often and don't let others abduct me."
Long Chen said angrily: "Whoever dares to snatch my wife, I will beat his human head into a dog's head. I want to see who is so unafraid of death."
Although she knew that Long Chen was teasing her on purpose, Chu Yao still smiled with her delicate body trembling, but her beautiful eyes were full of warmth.
Knowing that Long Chen would be leaving soon, everyone was drinking as hard as they could, no matter how big or small they drank. Long Chen drank a lot, so in order to keep up with everyone, others used bowls, so he just used a jar.
The jar behind him is like a hill. Everyone laughs heartily together, sometimes with tears. Except for Shi Feng, everyone here is living a very unsatisfactory life.
Now that Chu Feng is about to ascend the throne, those who are usually good friends with Long Chen are entrusted with important responsibilities and have prominent status.
All of this was thanks to Long Chen. They knew that if Long Chen left, they might never see him again in their lifetime. After getting drunk, they couldn't control their emotions, crying and laughing.
The same was true for Long Chen. Thinking back to the sadness he had felt over the years and the unknown road ahead, he could only drink as hard as he could.
He knew that he would embark on a road of no return, and that road would be full of blood. I was afraid that he would never have the opportunity to do this again, so he drank with confidence.
Until everyone fell to the ground drunk, Long Chen staggered back home with the help of Chu Yao.
In the next few days, Long Chen stayed at home and stayed with his parents. Until the seventh day, news came from Tu Fang that he was ready to set off.
In these days, they have made arrangements for the mining of Lingshi Mine, resource investment and distribution, and some supervision matters.
In order not to affect the normal operation of the empire, they will mine it as quickly as possible, and it is estimated that it will be mined within half a year. As for how it will be distributed, no one knows.
But one thing is certain, the Xueluo Sect, who wanted to swallow the spirit stone mine alone, has offended the public, and this time they will not be able to get a single spirit stone.
On the outskirts of the imperial capital, huge monsters were lined up in a row, exuding a terrifying aura and roaring loudly.
Long Chen, Chu Yao, Ah Man and Xiao Xue were standing in front of the city gate. Long Tianxiao and his wife were standing on the city wall. Mrs. Long had tears in her eyes and was waving desperately to Long Chen.
Chu Feng was wearing a yellow robe and a golden crown. Originally, he could only wear this outfit until his coronation, but Chu Feng put it on now. He said he wanted his sister to see what he looked like as an emperor.
"Let's go"
Hua Yu pulled Chu Yao and slowly walked onto the back of a huge colorful sparrow. The colorful sparrow chirped softly, flapped its wings and flew high into the sky.
Chu Yao shed tears and waved to Chu Feng and others at the city gate until her figure disappeared into the sky.
Others also boarded their mounts and left one after another. In the end, only Tufang's iron-feathered proud eagle remained there.
Tu Fang looked at Long Chen and Xiaoxue behind him, nodded and said: "I didn't expect that you actually have a demon pet like Red Flame Snow Wolf, so I feel relieved."
When Long Chen heard Tu Fang's tone, he felt something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Xiaoxue hasn't grown up yet, and it's not very heavy. Your mount can definitely carry the rest of us."
Tu Fang shook his head and said: "First, although my mount is a third-level magic beast, it can also carry people like us, but other magic beasts will not be allowed to lie on the back of the magic beast. This violates the instinct of the magic beast.
.
I am not a beast master and cannot completely enslave the monsters, so I cannot let your monsters come up.
Second, according to the rules of Xuantian Villa, every disciple who wants to pass Xuantian Villa’s assessment must walk alone through the wilderness and arrive at Xuantian Villa within the designated time, which is also part of the assessment.”
Tu Fang saw that Long Chen's face was ugly and he quickly said: "But don't worry, there is still more than a month before the formal assessment. You have plenty of time. This is the map to Xuantian Courtyard. Take it."
"That means the three of us are going to Xuantian Courtyard by ourselves?" Long Chen couldn't help but feel angry. This was a bit of a joke. Since we have to go by ourselves, what are you waiting for us to do? Show that you have
Flying mount?
"It's not three, but two of you. Ah Man will go back to Xuantian Courtyard with me first. As for why, you understand," Tu Fang shook his head.
Okay, I understand. Long Chen was so angry that he wanted to curse. This was too bullying, but his arms couldn't twist his thighs, so he had to endure it.
Until the monster flew up into the sky, Aman suddenly asked: "Hey! Why doesn't Brother Long come up?"
Tu Fang, who was standing in front of him and commanding the magical beasts, staggered and almost fell. He looked at Ah Man with a look of disbelief on his face and was speechless for a long time.
Seeing the magical beast on the side of the map fly away, Long Chen touched Xiaoxue's head and said with a bitter smile: "We two are going to suffer."
"Ouch" Xiaoxue roared.
"You said we can't lose to them? Okay! Then let's compete with them." Long Chen jumped on Xiaoxue's back, and Xiaoxue roared again, turned into a snow-white light and shadow, and ran straight into the distance.
Long Chen was on Xiaoxue's back, watching the figure on the city wall getting smaller and smaller until it disappeared, and couldn't help but choked up:
"Mom and dad, take care, I will come back to see you."
At the same time, my heart is full of yearning. I have come to the outside world. From now on, this world will tremble because of me, Long Chen!
…
Seeing Long Chen's figure disappear, Mrs. Long couldn't help but lay in Long Tianxiao's arms and burst into tears.
"Okay, now that the child has grown up, he should spread his wings and soar, like an eagle striking the sky." Long Tianxiao comforted his wife, but he also knew it.
Long Chen's journey is full of thorns and disasters, but as long as he does not fall, he will surely stand on top of the world and be worshiped by all parties.
