After the lively banquet, Han Jiulin and King Qinglong sat in a luxurious carriage pulled by eight dragon horses and returned to King Qinglong's Mansion unhurriedly.
Now Han Jiulin led the Shenwu Xuanxiang Knight Battalion to not only retake Tianlang City, but also boost the morale of the entire imperial army and repel all the rebel alliances within the outer city of the imperial capital. The old prince was naturally overjoyed and looked at Han Jiulin and joked
:
"Jilin, those princes and princesses have been pestering grandpa just now, wanting to introduce you to a marriage. Now you have indeed reached the age to marry and have children. I wonder what your intentions are?"
Han Jiulin shook his head and said, "Grandpa is joking. Now that the Qinglong Palace is not out of crisis, how can Jiulin have any thoughts about marrying a wife and having children?"
The old prince smiled and said again: "Jiulin, you can just fool others with your prevarications, are you going to do this to grandpa too?
I know that the woman you really like is Miss Yu Xuanyan from Xiaoxiang Pavilion..."
"Well...if you really like it, grandpa will never object to the two of you being together, but he can only force Miss Yu Xuanyan to be a concubine. This is not because grandpa is intolerant, it is really what people say.
Afraid!"
Han Jiulin couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard King Qinglong's words, thinking that Yu Xuanyan's true identity was the Holy Lady who was more powerful than anyone else in the Bloodthirsty Demon Sect.
Not to mention that she would never be a concubine with her temperament. Even though she was passionate by nature, she would never be biased towards the woman she liked.
Seeing Han Jiulin's silence, King Qinglong turned around and said:
"Is it possible that grandpa guessed wrong?
Jiulin, the woman you like is not that girl Yu Xuanyan?
Then let me think about it... Could it be that the person you really like in your heart, Jiulin, is actually Princess Zhirou of the Giant Spirit Palace?"
"Oh, this is easier to handle. Not long ago, Princess Dongshu personally came to Qinglong Palace to discuss matters between the two of you, but Grandpa, I was not sure about Jiulin's true intentions at that time.
It’s hard to make any guarantees.”
"If what you like, Jiulin, is Princess Zhirou, grandpa can immediately start arranging the wedding for you two with Princess Dongshu. We will definitely make it a sensation in the imperial capital and make the newlyweds unforgettable forever!"
Han Jiulin shook his head helplessly. At this moment, he had been thinking about how to completely resurrect Qin Linxi day and night. How could he have the mind to consider these marriage matters? Naturally, he immediately spoke decisively, lowered his head slightly and looked at the old prince and said:
"Grandpa, my grandson really doesn't want to talk about marriage now, so please don't force me.
And... Jiulin feels that the current situation is not optimistic. Although the imperial capital has wealth and splendor, we may not have the lives to continue to enjoy it now."
After hearing this, the old prince couldn't help but nodded lightly, then looked at Han Jiulin with a solemn expression and said, "Go on, Grandpa is listening."
Han Jiulin said: "Now that the empire has repelled the rebels and the 'Canglan Sky Array' has been repaired and restarted, the situation seems to have been reversed, but it is only a moment of prosperity."
"Actually, grandpa, you also know very well that the key to the outcome of this battle is the four top masters in Tianmen."
Qinglong King nodded and said: "Tianmen Dao Discussion is a martial arts competition ceremony that has been passed down for thousands of years since the ascension of the great god Di Tian.
Those who can win the fruit of Tianmen Discussing the Tao will certainly be able to ascend to heaven in one step and be promoted to the legendary realm of sainthood."
"But the other three who were defeated were destined to die and enter reincarnation again.
If Nangong Lie, the leader of the Bloodthirsty Demon Sect, or Tuoba Xingyuan, the Sword Master, achieve victory in the Tianmen Discussion, the consequences will be disastrous..."
"In the face of the powerful cultivation in the Saint Realm, the current strength of the empire is not worth mentioning at all, and there is no suspense about the collapse of the Canglan Empire."
Han Jiulin continued: "Actually, for other princes in the imperial capital, there is still a half chance.
But for our Qinglong Palace, it is completely different."
"If the leader of the Demon Cult achieves the victory of Tianmen Discussing the Way, judging from his hatred for the Qinglong Palace, everyone in our Qinglong Palace will definitely not be able to escape the danger of annihilation."
"If Sword Master Tuoba Xingyuan wins, considering that I participated in the battle to annihilate Tiandao City and now lead the Shenwu Xuanxiang Knight Battalion to severely defeat the rebels, the fate of Qinglong Palace will not be much different."
"Not to mention Emperor Canglan. As early as that year, he planned to set up a plan to kill everyone in my Qinglong Palace. Now he hates me even more. If he is promoted to the realm of Saint, I am afraid that he will not be killed.
After the rebellion, the first person to deal with is my Qinglong Palace."
"It's really ridiculous to say it. Although I have made great contributions to the empire now, the more famous I am, the less likely this Emperor Canglan will let me go to Qinglong Palace."
"Just because of this emperor's paranoia about power and indifference to humanity, he will never allow me to continue to grow, because the more powerful I am, the more difficult it will be for him to sleep and eat."
"Only if the Giant Spirit King can win the victory of Tianmen Discussing the Tao, my Qinglong Palace will be able to continue to maintain today's prosperity, but... this only hope may be ruined because of me."
King Qinglong couldn't help but look puzzled when he heard Han Jiulin's words, and then asked: "Jilin, what do you mean by this?
Even if the Giant Spirit King loses, how will it have anything to do with you?"
Han Jiulin said: "Just because the Giant Spirit King had already suffered internal injuries when he went to Tianmen to discuss Taoism, and has not yet recovered, and this result was indirectly caused by his grandson. This is something I owe the Giant Spirit King's Mansion and cannot repay.
Kindness.”
Han Jiulin then explained to Qinglong King the grudge between himself and the Black Fox Young Master and the Giant Spirit King's intervention in blocking the Black Fox Ancestor for him.
After listening to Han Jiulin's narration, the expression on the old prince's face became extremely serious. After pondering for a long time, he then asked: "Jilin, according to your wishes, when should we leave the imperial capital?"
Han Jiulin said: "Now that all the rebels have been forced out of the Imperial City, and the blockade of the inner city of the Imperial City should be lifted soon, then we can transfer the tribesmen out in batches, so now is the best time to leave the Imperial City
opportunity!"
The old prince glanced in the direction of Prince Qinglong's Mansion, sighed deeply, and then nodded slightly.
Although he did not want the thousand-year foundation of Qinglong Palace to be ruined in his own hands, after all, the current situation was serious. Compared with this thousand-year glory, the lives of his people were naturally more important.
A few days later, the city gates of the inner city of the imperial capital were indeed opened again, allowing free passage between the outer city and the inner city of the imperial capital.
Without any delay, Han Jiulin led the Qinglong Cabinet all the way to the secret passageway in the outer city of the imperial capital. This passageway was built under a stronghold of Ghost Villa and led directly to a huge manor outside the city.
Since the matter is of great importance, Mu Yunyao is now personally guarding it.
