Unconsciously, my sister, who used to be like a child, has become a strong person who can fly in the sky.

Xuanyuan Yu suddenly understood at this moment that her sister had grown up and could soar in the broader sky.

"Your Majesty, I'll go get the princess back. ”

Xue saw that he was worried that something would happen to Princess Qinglian, so he hugged his fist towards Xuanyuan Yu, turned around and performed Lingyun Step and walked away.

When Xuanyuan Yu saw this scene, his eyes shrank in shock.

"Grand Master?"

As we all know, martial arts cultivators can only fly in the sky if they reach the realm of a great grandmaster.

As for flying martial arts, because they are too rare, there are almost no martial arts in a country like the Southern Ming Empire, where martial artists are not prevalent.

Therefore, Xuanyuan Yu subconsciously decided that Xue Jian had reached the realm of a great grandmaster.

This surprised and delighted him for a moment.

Shockingly, Xue Jian's force was enough to threaten his rule.

Happily, Xue Jian is still the commander of his Nanming Empire, Haijun Hou.

If this matter is publicized, a great master can deter more than a dozen surrounding countries, so that no one dares to violate the border.

The ministers outside were also shocked when they saw this scene, and they seemed to see a new witch king.

In order to avoid attracting too many people's attention, Xue Jian flew directly into the clouds in the sky, chased Princess Qinglian, and soon came to the roof of an attic in the backyard of the palace.

This is the place where Princess Qinglian took Xue Jian into the Witch King's Palace before.

At this moment, the little girl sat alone on the roof, looking at the demolished Witch King's Palace, frowning.

Xue Jian gently landed beside her and whispered comfortingly.

"Your imperial brother is for your good, the outside world is very dangerous, this time in the desert, you and I almost can't come back several times, have you forgotten?"

Princess Qinglian hugged her calves with her arms, put her chin on her knees, and muttered in a low voice.

"With you, what danger can there be......"

Xue Jian couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

"I'm not a god, I can protect you for a while, but I can't protect you for a lifetime.

What's more, your current ability is no worse than mine, and if you need my protection, it should be your turn to protect your people. ”

Princess Qinglian tilted her head and said reluctantly.

"I'm not even sixteen years old, how can I protect others?"

Xue Jian patted her soft shoulder and said firmly.

"From the moment you become the inheritor of the witch god, you have the ability to protect others, and you have this responsibility.

Your imperial brother is a good emperor with ability and ambition, and assisting him well will make your people's lives happier. ”

Princess Qinglian pursed her lips, looked at Xue Jian very seriously, and said in a low voice.

"But I just want to follow you. ”

Xue Jian chuckled and stood up.

"There is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed, don't you often say that you are a big girl? As a big girl, you must focus on the overall situation.

You are the princess of the Xuanyuan clan, the chosen one of the witch gods, don't let your people fail in you. ”

Princess Qinglian has always been extremely obedient to Xue Jian's words.

She thought about it carefully, swept away her depression, stood up and raised her hands and shouted.

"That's right, I'm a big girl, I can't play with children anymore, I want to impress you. ”

The two of them stood together on the roof of the attic and laughed.

It didn't take long for the emperor and his entourage to return to the palace, and Xue Jian took Princess Qinglian to participate in the celebration banquet to reward the three armies.

At the banquet, there were hundreds of civil and military officials, many princes and nobles, and everyone under the leadership of His Majesty the Emperor toasted to the greatest hero.

After Xue Jian finished a glass of wine, he took off the sword and tiger talisman on his waist on the spot, took the initiative to resign, and resigned from all his positions and military power.

This move immediately caused an uproar at the banquet, and one by one, the civil and military officials, princes and nobles opened their mouths wide, their eyes widened, and they were stunned.

Especially those generals who followed Xue Jian to the north were completely dumbfounded.

They thought that when they came back this time, Xue Jian would definitely add officials to the knighthood and be crowned kings and marquises.

Who knows, this is still at the celebration banquet, and Xue Jian took the initiative to hand over the military power.

A group of generals such as the golden snake and the golden scorpion immediately put down their wine glasses and stood up.

Obviously, they all thought that Xue Jian took the initiative to hand over the military power because he was forced by the emperor, and they already had a strong dissatisfaction in their hearts.

Xue Jian immediately waved his hand, and his eyes sharply motioned for those generals to sit down, and then said.

"Your Majesty, although Wechen has resigned from his post, these generals have made a lot of contributions to the Northern Desert with Wechen, and I hope Your Majesty will reward them for their meritorious deeds. ”

Emperor Xuanyuan Yu was overjoyed in his heart, pretending to persuade twice, but Xue Jian shirked it twice, so he reluctantly let people accept his tiger talisman.

"Helian Aiqing decided to resign, and I deeply regret it.

In this case, he removed Helian Aiqing from the post of commander, retained the title of Haijun Hou, 3,000 fiefs, 100,000 gold, 1,000 treasures, and 100 maids. ”

Xue Jian bent down to thank him, and asked that the gold treasures and maids he had been rewarded with be exchanged for his White Tiger guards.

Xuanyuan Yu readily agreed, a thousand people and horses were nothing at all.

Later, at the banquet, the young emperor directly issued a holy edict and rewarded all the generals under Xue Jian, even some people who had no merit also got a lot of benefits.

I have to say that Xuanyuan Yu's means of buying people's hearts are good.

It's a pity that Xue Jian has no interest in these imperial schemes at all.

He had only one purpose, to find all the Nine Dragons Remnant Monuments, improve his strength, and then go to Chu Yiyi.

Three days later, after everything was ready, Xue Jian, under the emperor's personal send-off, left the capital city of Nanming and headed all the way south.

The Five Poisons Sect members, such as the Golden Snake, the Golden Toad, and the Golden Scorpion, all chose to stay in the capital and take up important tasks in the army.

The emperor sent ten miles back, and the golden snake and others were sent a hundred miles away.

Many people still don't understand why Xue Jian has to resign and retire if he doesn't let such a big general go.

Only the golden snake is as careful as a hair, and through some clues, he has already seen that this sect leader is no longer the previous sect leader.

At the time of parting, the golden snake dismounted and chased after him, looked at Xue Jian and smiled.

"Sect Master, before leaving, can you show your true face?"

Xue saw that he turned over and dismounted, laughing heartily.

"I don't think you want to see me for what I am. ”

Originally, the golden snake was a man of few words, and his temperament was like a poisonous snake hiding in the shadows, but since following Xue Jian, he has changed a lot.

At least at this moment, there is no shadow of a "poisonous snake" on the golden snake, but it looks like a bold and rough battlefield warrior.

He laughed.

"The true face of the sect leader, can you still scare your subordinates?"

Since he said so, Xue Jian also fulfilled his parting request.

A meeting is fate, once an enemy, now a comrade-in-arms.

Xue Jian took off the mask on his face, revealing a fair and handsome face.

The moment the golden snake saw this face, it was like being struck by lightning on the spot, and it was indeed frightened, dumbfounded, and unable to recover for a long time.

Xue Jian patted him on the shoulder, left two words, and got on his horse and left.

"Take care!"
