The next day, the rooster crows and the sun rises. The quiet and peaceful Xidu welcomes friends who come from far away day and night.
It is a very beautiful bird. Compared with many ferocious beasts, it is not big in size. Its wings are only half a foot spread. It has bright and colorful feathers. It has an aura of nobility and laziness all over its body. You can tell at a glance that it is not an ordinary bird.
.
Because of the arrival of this bird, Yao Yun was awakened early, and under the service of his maid, he put on large clothes and a crown that were very gorgeous in this era, so as to welcome this extraordinary noble bird.
Naturally, this bird is not an ordinary thing. It is the messenger of the Emperor of Heaven, a noble phoenix bird. It carries the Emperor's imperial decree day and night, from the distant Xia Capital to the remote and barbaric Xi Capital.
I thought that Zhu Xiazi's decree would arrive a few days later, but I didn't expect it to arrive so promptly.
When the people in Xidu received the imperial edict, Yao Yun smiled bitterly.
Everything is exactly as Second Elder Wu Tong said.
His title was downgraded, from his father Yao Xuan's title of Marquis of Xixuan to his current title of Xiyun Nan.
The name of the Xi Kingdom has not changed, but the fiefdom has changed. The vast barbaric area before was completely gone with a stroke of a pen, but fortunately the area around Xidu has been preserved.
Because of the vaccination from Second Elder Wu Tong, Yao Yun accepted the reward calmly. In any case, it can be regarded as hereditary and he inherited the fiefdom he deserved. As for the unconquered wastelands, he has not thought so much yet.
, Anyway, I didn’t catch it, so just throw it away.
In addition, the beautiful and noble phoenix bird also brought two tokens to Yao Yun.
A prince's sword and a jade talisman.
The symbol of civilization in this era is clothing and swords. As the name suggests, it means wearing clothes, wearing a hat, and carrying a sword. Ordinary swords are just swords for common people, but now the emperor has given them the swords of princes, which represent authority and majesty!
The sword of the princes is forged from bronze. It is very exquisite and elegant. The hilt is surrounded by two phoenixes. The sword is densely covered with regular black prismatic hidden patterns. The sword is long and slender. It is engraved with eight Zhuxia characters. Xi Wang Yao Yun, the emperor gave the sword!
The other piece is Pubi.
The fifth male title of Duke Bozi holds Huan Gui, Xin Gui, Gong Gui, Gu Bi and Pu Bi respectively. The title of baron naturally belongs to Pu Bi.
At the same time, the second elder also returned Xingui, the sword of the princes belonging to the former Xi King Yao Xuan, to the Phoenix Messenger and asked him to take it back to the imperial capital of Xiadu.
"Welcome the envoy!"
In the wide square in the palace courtyard, Xidu saw off the emperor's messengers who came and went in a hurry. Of course, the bald dragon was not included in this group of people.
As a genuine dragon, the Bald Dragon is still a noble dragon even though he has not grown to his peak now. The phoenix sent by the emperor is not a true purebred phoenix, so it cannot withstand his eager welcome.
Therefore, he just quietly observed in the dark, looking at the changes in the world around him with cold eyes.
The sword of the princes and the jade talisman given by the emperor not only represent authority, but also a kind of safety guarantee. With the token given by the emperor, powerful beasts, monsters, ghosts and gods must be afraid of them.
Nowadays, the swords and tokens of the princes have been downgraded by three levels in a row, so huge changes will naturally occur.
He could feel that the fate of Xi Kingdom had changed. Without the authority to suppress it, Xi Kingdom would probably not be peaceful in the future.
"Why!"
The phoenix bird flew away with a clear cry, and the bald dragon gradually looked away, then placed it on Yao Yun.
In fact, to be fair, in his eyes, the crown prince Yao Yun is actually not incompetent. Compared with some of the dandies from the big clans in the imperial capital, Yao Yun is gentle, kind, quick and eager to learn. The only shortcoming is that he is not mature enough and has no experience.
Too few, and even less courage to fight desperately in the face of difficulties!
Of course, these shortcomings are actually not a big deal. In the future, as the prince grows older, he will slowly grow up, immaturity will become mature, and potential will be stimulated when encountering difficulties. By then, it will be a matter of course for him to enter the ranks of practitioners.
thing.
From this point of view, Yao Yun actually has nothing to criticize. The former King Xi also had such a confused green years.
However, the most fatal problem is that King Xi has only one heir, and Yao Yun is the only heir of King Xi.
If Yao Yun is not his legitimate son, Bald Long believes that he will like Yao Yun very much. He is rebellious by nature and will protect Yao Yun in everything.
It is a pity that Yao Yun is the legitimate son. He is the successor of Xi Kingdom and carries the dreams and future of King Xi and their brothers.
As a result, his expectations for Yao Yun were infinitely higher.
In the eyes of the Bald Dragon, ordinary excellence is mediocrity and incompetence. As the heir to a great cause, he cannot be mediocre, not even an ordinary genius. He must be a genius among geniuses.
Otherwise, the end will be very disastrous.
The situation before us just proves this.
Due to lack of strength, the title fell directly from the noble Marquis to the lowly Baron.
This is the cruel reality.
Although this was due to the fact that their previous generation had lost most of the Xi Kingdom’s elite, if the crown prince Yao Yun became a practitioner, the emperor’s title would not be Xi Yun Nan, but at least Xi Yun Zi; if Yao Yun was
The genius in cultivation might be Uncle Xiyun.
It's a pity that the prince in front of him has not become a practitioner, and his future is very slim. Therefore, Xinan Kingdom already shows great love, and any higher reward will harm him!
What a sad fact this is!
The autumn wind swept through Xidu, and the bald dragon's bell-like eyes lost their former majesty, looking confused and decadent.
In the blink of an eye, all the great ambitions came to naught, and half of the enthusiasm in the past has gone cold!
Last night the bald dragon had a long talk with his second brother, and he confided everything to his second brother.
The brothers were gone, injured, and missing. Only he and Wu Tong were left to guard the huge Xi Kingdom. In addition, he was in a dormant period, and he was powerless to do anything.
He is very tired, really!
I originally wanted to confide and complain to the second brother, but the second brother seemed to be possessed by a demon and showed an incredibly loving smile throughout the whole process.
If the second brother hadn't been seriously injured, the bald dragon would have really wanted to slap him in the face so that his second brother could wake up from his evil state.
The bald dragon wanted to know what happened. Did he miss something?
So he asked his second brother, who shook his head and said nothing.
The bald dragon was very angry. He really didn't know where his second brother got his confidence. Is there really something special about the prince that he didn't discover?
The bald dragon still didn't get the answer in the end. The second brother asked him to wait and see and observe silently for a while before speaking.
The bald dragon sneered at this, but he did not continue to delve deeper.
The second brother asked him to wait and see, so he waited and saw. Today happened to be the day when the barbarian tribes silently joined forces to attack Xidu. He wanted to see how the prince would respond.
if......
If there is no hope for Xidu, King Xi’s dream will be shattered.
He protected the prince as he grew up, and after he had a certain ability to protect himself,
