After the affairs of the Heaven and Earth Gang were completely stabilized, Xiao Zhang said goodbye to the four deputy gang leaders and began to return to Beijing with the Thirteen Princes and Xiao Cui.

Since they have been in extreme tension for the past few months, now that the big thing has been accomplished, the three of them want to completely relax.

So, the three of them walked all the way to relax, visiting the famous places and scenery along the way, from Xuanyuan City to the Soul Capital District for thousands of miles, the three of them walked for a full month.

However, this situation is also in their itinerary plan, a month happens to be the time they planned, and today, the three of them are finally going back to Soul Beijing.

At this moment, in the Qitian Hall of the Imperial Palace, His Majesty the Emperor was sitting on the dragon chair, with unconcealed joy in his coercion, and the ministers in the palace had different faces, obviously all of them had their own little abacus, such as Huang Guozhong, such as the crown prince.

The emperor opened his mouth and said, "According to the news sent back by Xiao Zhang, today is the day he arrives in the Soul Capital. Xiao Zhang went to Xuanyuan Gate, although he made a big mistake, he actually brought back my thirteen princes, and I was very pleased. So, the minister is willing to go and greet him?"

Huang Guozhong immediately went out of class and said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to go to greet you." ”

The emperor pondered for a moment, and he didn't know what information was contained in his deep eyes, and then nodded, seemingly ready to agree, but then the prince came out and said, "Father, it's better for the retainer to greet him." Erchen hasn't seen his thirteenth brother for a long time, and he misses it very much. ”

The emperor's face suddenly became gloomy, he naturally knew what the prince's intentions were, and the prince was probably not only targeting the thirteen princes, but even Xiao Zhang.

However, since he was ordered to greet them, the prince should not have the courage to do it directly to the two, and should just go to find out the actual situation in person.

I don't know how long it took, the emperor's gloomy face finally improved, nodded and said: "As the crown prince, according to the Dayan etiquette, if you deign to greet the courtiers and courtiers, you will mess up your status level." However, welcoming the thirteen princes is a family affair of my royal family, and it is not too much for the prince to arrange the greeting, so it is okay, just send someone to greet you, and you don't have to go. ”

When the crown prince heard this, he immediately expressed a different opinion: "Father, the sons and daughters have a deep relationship with the thirteenth brother, where do you still consider any etiquette? Besides, Xiao Zhang's recovery of the thirteenth brother is a great hero of my royal family, so it is reasonable for the sons and daughters to go to greet them in person." ”

The emperor's face, which had just improved, was a little gloomy, but he finally agreed: "The prince is so polite and virtuous, and he cares about his younger brother, I am very pleased, so you can go." ”

A sinister smile suddenly flashed on the prince's face, and then he bowed and said loudly, "Thank you for your grace!"

Huang Guozhong lowered his head and glanced at the prince secretly, but he didn't open his mouth to fight again, because he also knew the purpose of the prince's visit, anyway, it was all against Xiao Zhang, and whoever went would be the same.

After receiving the decree, the prince turned around and walked out of the Qitian Palace, and soon organized a welcoming procession, including a hundred-person honor guard, which was a professional honor guard privately cultivated by the prince, and the high level and quality could even be used to participate in various ceremonial activities of the imperial court.

In addition to the guard of honor, there are also thousands of prince's personal guards accompanying them for security. This time, the prince can be regarded as having made great efforts, which is enough to prove his determination and confidence.

He was going to do whatever he wanted to do, even if he knew that even if this plan succeeded, he would face the emperor's wrath when he returned, but he was already crazy and had no scruples.

He even thought madly that this matter could just test the emperor's true attitude towards him, if the emperor was willing to abolish or even kill him as the crown prince for the sake of the thirteen princes and Xiao Zhang, then he would be completely cold, and he would be able to openly pull the pole to revolt and confront the emperor head-on.

Even if he dies, he will die happily, which is a hundred times better than living in humiliation like now.

Xiao Zhang and the three of them traveled all the way to the mountains and rivers, and finally set foot on the realm of the Soul Capital on this day, although this is only a stop in their cultivation career, they also feel a little kind.

In contrast, although the Thirteen Princes were born and raised in Soul Jing, they couldn't see that he had any affection for Soul Jing, but he looked a little disgusted and even resistant.

Xiao Cui was extremely excited, after all, this was the first time she had come to Soul Beijing, so she would naturally have a sense of freshness. Like ordinary girls, she has a natural liking and even fanaticism for the bustling street market, and the bustling metropolis of Soul Capital is naturally the highest shopping paradise in her mind.

When they arrived at Soul Jing, the three of them had their own thoughts and different expressions, but when they walked thirty miles away from the city gate, their expressions were the same, because they saw the prince's welcoming procession.

After confirming that the prince had indeed come to greet them, the three of them were surprised.

Whether it is logical or etiquette, as a prince, he should not come to greet his courtiers and courtiers, but the facts are really presented in front of him.

After being surprised, Xiao Zhang and the Thirteen Princes glanced at each other, at this moment, they would not be flattered, but extremely nervous.

The crown prince, the common enemy of the two people, came desperately to greet him, and he was thirty miles out of the city to greet him, and even brought a hundred honor guards and a thousand personal guards. This intention is too obvious, and even a little blatant!

However, since the matter is already like this, it is necessary to face it, he walked up to the prince, bowed down and said: "Thanks to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally going out of the city to greet him, Xiao Zhang is grateful." ”

The prince had already gotten out of the sedan chair and stood at the front of the greeting procession, and when he saw Xiao Zhang coming over to speak, he immediately smiled and helped Xiao Zhang up with his own hands, not a false support, but a real help.

The prince said with a pleasant face: "Deputy Head Xiao has worked hard and found his father's favorite thirteenth brother, as the prince, the palace is also very pleased, and under the excitement, he took the initiative to ask for a decree to come to greet him." Hehe, this greeting team is very shabby, please forgive me Deputy Head Xiao. ”

Xiao Zhang was a little uncomfortable with this title, although he was indeed the deputy head of the Heavenly Soul Sect, but it always felt a little awkward to say it from the prince's mouth.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been too humble. Xiao Zhang said politely, "With such a grand team to greet him, Xiao Zhang was flattered." ”

The prince laughed heartily and looked at the thirteen princes not far away, but saw that the thirteen princes didn't bother to pay attention to him at all, squatting aside and hanging grass mustard to enjoy the scenery.

The prince's smile froze, and then he said to Xiao Zhang: "Without further ado, let's go back to the city." ”

Immediately, a prince's personal guard brought a group of tall white horses to travel for Xiao Zhang. As for the Thirteen Princes and Xiaocui, the crown prince arranged a luxury sedan for them.

The thirteenth prince was naturally very reluctant to get on the sedan arranged by the prince, but the eldest brother was like a father, and as a younger brother, he did not dare to openly refuse the prince, he pulled Xiaocui, and looked back at Xiao Zhang before getting into the car, with a solicitation in his eyes.

Xiao Zhang nodded slightly in agreement, this is the only way to do it at this moment, as for the next crisis, we have to find a way to face and solve it.
