Outside the blood-colored Yancheng, the commanders of the two armies of the "Shenji Battalion" and the "Shenyong Army" were both supervising the battle on the first front, thus successfully missing the two nobles who came from afar, which can be described as painstaking.

......

Castle Lord's Mansion.

The city lord Su Qinghe was discussing important matters with Pan Changning, the president of the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce, and shirked the invitation of the two nobles to the night banquet, which was an indirect expression of his attitude.

......

The two nobles are the royal heirs, and the travel has naturally begun to be deployed early, and the mansion is located near the mountains and rivers, and the environment is elegant, which can be regarded as a good small courtyard.

The emperor of the Great Qin Empire is currently in good health, and the identity of the successor to the crown prince has not been determined, especially after the great prince disappeared outside the four countries three years ago, which greatly extended the assessment of the successor candidate.

Since there is no news of the eldest prince, isn't there still a second prince?

The second prince is more special, his mother is a palace maid, so it stands to reason that he is not qualified to inherit such a noble position, and he himself has been far away from the center of power early, and he has now purchased a academy, claiming to be the president of the academy.

There is no prominent background on my mother's side, and she is not too ambitious, so she has a lot of supporters.

The eldest prince disappeared, and the second prince had no conditions, so the third prince, Qin Hao, who had both conditions and voices, was more favored by many speculators, and was also one of the most popular candidates at present.

There are two reasons why the third prince Qin Hao can have such a voice, one is that he has an age advantage, and the other is that his realm cultivation is currently among the best, so it is very normal to have a group of supporters.

It's just that at present, many princes have the support of major forces and courtiers, but many guardians of the frontier have not yet made a position and are still waiting and seeing.

Maybe this is a crucial assessment, or maybe it's been going on since they were born, and who really knows?

After being unwilling, Qin Ming, the ambitious Seventh Prince of the Seventh Emperor, also stood out among the many candidates.

He has a firm foothold with his excellent cultivation talent, and has won the loyal followers of a group of people with his good political vision, and he is a competitor who can compete with the third prince Qin Hao.

It is precisely because the two competitors are of extraordinary status that the important ministers of the frontier need to maintain their positions and not fall to either person, but they are contacted by their deputies, so as not to lose their manners, which is very much too much to repeat.

......

Late at night, people don't sleep.

The girl had already prepared her things and was about to go to visit her two brothers.

Her two brothers didn't know that she had arrived in Yancheng, and they also paid attention to the movements of the two of them, but the night banquet in front of them was crowded and unchanging, so it has been delayed until now.

She and her two brothers are half-siblings, but because she is a woman, their relationship with each other is quite stable, after all, there is no competition!

For various reasons, she had to meet with them tonight, after all, if she suddenly appeared at tomorrow's auction, it would inevitably make people a little nervous and even distracted.

The relationship between the two brothers was strained enough, she didn't want to be a trigger, and she was trying to stay out of it.

The girl's two brothers are the third prince Qin Hao and the seventh prince Qin Ming, and she is the ninth princess of Great Qin, Qin Yue.

Qin Yue'e's six sisters are a little less talented, they have married the heirs of the princes, and the other two have also made a marriage with the important ministers of the court, and she doesn't want to be a victim of political interests, she wants more choices to get rid of this kind of manipulated life, so she has practiced hard since she was a child, almost never slack, and she can be regarded as having good congenital roots and high cultivation talents, which gives her one more chance to prove herself, so she came to the frontier city, the smoke city where the wind and clouds gather.

Everyone has their own problems to solve, and no one is truly carefree, not even the emperor.

Qin Yue'e understood this at a very young age.

......

Ye Zhaoyao, who had been asleep for several hours, finally opened his eyes slowly, and only two questions echoed in his mind: "What's the matter?"

"Where am I?"

But he soon saw a familiar and sad face, but the slightly concerned look of the other party still made him slightly satisfied.

Ning Xiaodao supported Ye Zhaoyao's back, put a few soft pillows on him, and then said: "This is my home, you can rest in peace first, by the way, all your things are placed next to you." ”

Ye Zhaoyao gently rubbed his head and asked, "How many hours have I been asleep?"

"About five hours!"

"Looks serious?"

Ning Xiaodao said softly: "Your heart and soul have been injured, but the specific severity is not clear to the doctor, but the need for rest and recuperation is certain!"

Ye Zhaoyao showed a proud expression of a master, and said: "I was recognized by you, ha, I originally planned to earn some pocket money by fortune telling, but I still can't hide the fact that my strength is profound, melancholy!"

Ning Xiaodao hurriedly put his hand on Ye Zhaoyao's forehead and tried it, and said with a smile: "I don't have a fever either, why is my brain confused!"

Ye Zhaoyao knew that the other party was just deliberately making fun of him, and he didn't mean anything else, so his face turned straight and said, "Bring me my storage bag, there is medicine in it!"

Ning Xiaodao handed it over and asked, "Do you need me to guard it?"

Some people have taboos about healing, so it is important to respect the needs of the injured.

Ye Zhaoyao shook his head with a smile and said, "If you really don't feel at ease, you can stay outside the door!"

Ning Xiaodao turned around and went out, came directly to the empty training ground, and began to practice "Tiger Boxing".

As for the tiger who made the contract, he put it in the spirit beast bag to recuperate, and he didn't plan to release it for the time being.

In fact, he had thought about the path of spirit beasts, but it was too biased and too attention-grabbing, and I am afraid that the trouble he would cause would be even bigger than it was now, and it would not work at all.

There is a big difference between being able to conclude a spirit beast and a group of spirit beasts, this method has enough people who want to explore and understand, not to mention that he is not alone, and he needs to think about it.

Through fighting and learning with the Tiger, he found that his speed of mastering the "Tiger Fist" and the improvement of the "Tiger Power" were much faster, as if he had found the right way to use and train, which made his growth change greatly.

In the early morning, a non-piercing sword roar sounded, and the sound came from outside the courtyard.

Ning Xiaodao hurriedly went over to open the door, but found that an old man and a young man were standing outside the door, only to see the young man facing Ning Xiaodao and asked with a smile, "May I ask Senior Brother Chen Jun is like this?"

Ning Xiaodao greeted with a smile: "Come in quickly, the big guy is still preparing breakfast!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Jun, Gongsun Xiu and Luo Qingyi came together, hurriedly held the "sword salute", and said respectfully: "Senior Uncle Wei Chi, Senior Brother Zhou Hong!"

Everyone had met, and Ning Xiaodao left under the pretext of "preparing breakfast", giving the five "Sword Gate" elders and disciples a chance to catch up.

Ning Xiaodao came to the backyard, gathered everyone, and then happily announced the good news, when he landed, many teenagers shouted, which was called an excitement, which shows how yearning for the "Sword Gate" is!

Everyone who prepared breakfast was even more energetic, not only the portion was much more, but even the variety was much richer, Ning Xiaodao quipped: "As soon as the two of them came, their cooking skills were immediately raised." ”

Everyone has always been gathered together for dinner, there is no condescension and humility, anyway, they just sit in rows, Ning Xiaodao asked everyone to try not to be restrained, and they can do what they usually do, just treat the elders of the "Sword Gate" as ordinary guests.

After arranging, he returned to the door of the room, and it happened that Ye Zhaoyao slowly opened the door and walked out.

"You've got a really good nose, you smell it when it's ready!"

It's okay not to say it, as soon as he said Ye Zhao's stomach growled, he had to say: "It seems that it is prepared for me to catch the wind and wash the dust!"

Ning Xiaodao smiled and said, "You're not the only one!"

"And the guests?"

"It's a senior!"

"Sort of?"

Ning Xiaodao waved his hand and said, "None of this matters, you are also a guest anyway!"

As he spoke, he led Ye Zhaoyao to the backyard, only to see twenty tables placed among them, and there was already food served, and those busy serving dishes were all children under the age of ten, they had not yet reached the age of cultivation, so they had to do some small things within their ability, and everyone was happy, just like a big family.

Ye Zhaoyao asked, "Where do I sit?"

Ning Xiaodao said with a smile: "You can eat anywhere, you usually eat here like this, the food tastes the same, just a little, just eat more and eat less and don't waste it." ”

As he spoke, he sat down at a table in the corner, and many people happily sat down in teams after seeing Ning Xiaodao sit down, leaving only the top empty table, which was reserved for the "elders" who came from afar.

Gongsun Xiu walked slowly and chuckled: "Let's eat it quickly, otherwise, they will rob it." ”

There are long rows of wooden shelves on which there are also various kinds of meals that can be eaten and taken, similar to a buffet.

Wei Chi Qingming himself does not pay attention to pomp, at this time, seeing everyone eating their own food, he also felt very relaxed, and he took the rice bowl and ate it, not polite at all.

In fact, at his level, it is not a big problem to eat or not, but eating is the most appropriate way to communicate feelings.

As for Chu Chu, she began to refuse after trying it once, first of all, everyone couldn't let go in front of her, as if there was a huge gap between them, even if they tried to get closer, they couldn't do it, and Chu Chu really didn't have much interest in this group of villagers, the reason why she stayed here was nothing more than that Ning Xiaodao was here, and she didn't want to wronged herself, so she usually sent Ning Xiaodao over, or simply didn't eat it.

As usual, Ning Xiaodao prepared an early delivery, but found that Chu Chu was staring at the wall blankly, looking preoccupied.

"What's wrong?"

Chu Chu came back to his senses and asked with a little melancholy, "You will come to see me in the future, right?"

"Hmm!"

"That's good, that's good!"

"Didn't you say it a long time ago? Do you think I'm a man of my word?"

"No, no, no, I just wanted to make sure!"

"Something is wrong with you! Is something wrong?"

Chu Chu looked at the breakfast on the table, took a bite lightly, and said, "I don't actually want to leave......!"

Ning Xiaodao pretended to smile and said: "There is a feast in the world, you just changed the table, it doesn't mean that we won't have a chance to reunite in the future!"
