"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 shouted angrily: "You are the one who is presumptuous. You, a messenger, dare to speak like this to His Highness the Crown Prince. What crime should you deserve!"
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 have passed since the Tianzhanmen battle. Xia Houchen already knows Long Xiaoshan's strength and is determined to follow Long Xiaoshan. Let alone a mere royal envoy, even if Long Xiaoshan plots rebellion now, he will also be determined to follow him.
Follow to the end.
Therefore, Xia Houchen squinted at the royal envoy at this time and said coldly: "General, the military orders have been ignored. 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 master of the Tiancan Sect, King Guijiao, and you, a mere envoy, used the imperial edict to fake the power of a tiger and wanted His Highness to kneel down. Can you, on your own, bear the responsibility?"
After Xia Houchen said it, he shouted loudly.
The royal envoy's face turned green and white, and he was about to get angry, but there was a hint of horror in his eyes. It was obvious that he had heard of the name of King Guijiao, the deputy sect leader of the Tianzhan Sect, with a combat power that 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 can match it. After all, this kind of strong man is almost unstoppable unless the emperor of the Qianlong Empire takes action. But for a person of that level, unless the two major forces fight to the death,
How is it possible to fight?
The messenger 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. 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.
I 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, if he really fell out, he would suffer.
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 Long Yin has made great achievements in guarding the southwest. He will immediately follow the envoy back to Qianlong City to confer the title."
After finishing 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: "You 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 had not hidden his identity before, and many people had 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, so 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 how to proceed from Longmen.
But now that things have caught up, it happens to be solved together, eliminating any trouble.
He said: "I'm going back to the imperial capital. If you look out for anything here, 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 emperor?"
Long Xiaoshan said calmly: "Let's see."
After saying that, he got up and walked outside.
A sharp blade of light split through the air and quickly entered the city lord's palace. It happened to collide with Long Xiaoshan. The blade of light dispersed violently, revealing a white-haired figure holding a black knife in his hand.
As soon as he fell down, the entire void seemed to be filled with red snowflakes, which was extremely bone-chilling.
"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 because of the Battle of Qianlong, and later met again in the Ancient Mirage Palace and became friends. Long Xiaoshan formed Longmen and pulled Zhu Hongxue into his disciples. However, Zhu Hongxue had always been a loner. Even if he joined Longmen, he would not be able to do anything.
Part of the time, he was working outside. Ever since Long Yin led his people to guard the southwest border, Zhu Hongxue also followed him, 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: "Shanlong."
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 is much stronger than it was a few years ago.
We have already entered the middle stage of the golden elixir, and you have to remember 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: "Shanlong is my pseudonym, and my real name is Long Xiaoshan..."
After listening to Long Xiaoshan's explanation, Zhu Hongxue's face did not change at all. It was always difficult for you to feel his emotional fluctuations in Zhu Hongxue. His whole person 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 if there were not so many amazing 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 the Tiancan Sect 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."
