The Royal Palace, the Weeping Eagle.

The sun slowly rose in the clouds in the east, the morning light rushed to the land like a tide, and the white-clothed young man on the roof faced the sunrise of Lin'an City again, watching the morning light illuminate the buildings as bright as a divine city, and also illuminated him like a god.

The city was slowly waking up, and he watched the streets lined with pavilions like scabbards, the streets began to appear with fireworks, the early risers began to work for their daily lives, and the thousands of white eagle flags in the city fluttered in the morning light, with beautiful tracks in his eyes.

He looked at this incomparably familiar city, the smell of fresh dew in the air, and the palace he was in was like a pearl guarded by a group of snakes, both charming and dangerous.

This feeling is very comfortable and strange, it will always make him think about a lot of things for no reason, Chu Xianzhao, like most people, will also feel awe of this city known as the pearl of the Northern Regions, but awe does not mean fear, it does not mean staying away, he will one day take over the city from his father, as well as the entire Yin country.

In the sinky garden next to him, you can already hear the noisy sound of the female officials washing, the area of the Dayin Palace is huge, even the rising sun can only shine on about half of the palace, and the remaining half is still in the shadows It looks particularly dark, and the weather in March in this world still has some feeling of early spring cold.

Chu Xianzhao sat on the roof, the two maids were still hiding in the quilt to sleep, and the water in the Huailiang River in the distance was as dazzling as gold at this time under the dawn of the morning.

This river runs through the entire Lin'an City, the scenery on both sides of the river bank is beautiful, he can always see the women in the raccoon squatting by the river in the morning and rubbing their clothes and skirts, the laughter of the women and the hawkers behind them are intertwined, when night falls, you can always see the boat girl holding the flower boat from the upstream and floating downstream, singing the graceful and far-reaching boat song, often can attract some Jianghu swordsmen to come to listen to the music, if there is a little silver in the bag, you can also spend a good night with a few pretty boat girls.

In his opinion, the Huailiang River is the giant snake that surrounds Lin'an City, the giant snake is so beautiful and quiet, but there are many corpses hidden under the river, there are court officials, there are unknown juniors, there are swordsmen in the rivers and lakes, all kinds of people, once they sink, they can no longer float.

He suddenly missed everything in the city of rest and Li Jingcheng, although the people in that city were full of hatred for him, Ye Yunpeng, who was full of hatred for himself and his brother, buried a queen Yan Mang who was killed by him with his own hands, and a girl who wanted to kill himself at any time with a dagger, and the old man Huang Pojun also died in the Valley of the Storm, and many people themselves could not bring them back to Yinguo, so they could only watch them die in a foreign land.

As for Tantai Tranquility, she should live the life she wants, no one in that city dares to snub her, she is now the only descendant of the Tantai royal family, no one dares to treat her badly, and she should rest assured.

In the end, there were a few people who could come back to Lin'an City with themselves, Hua Youyue, Guan Ju and Meng Yu, and even Guan Ju said goodbye to him in Tiannan Dao, and went to Nanlu alone to find her mother.

It seems that what Hua Youyue said is not wrong at all, only those who have strength in their hands can survive in this world, and those who die are weak.

Now that he had returned to his familiar place, those memories full of killing and grief had been buried under the land of Shu Yue and Yan Mang.

Thinking about it like this, the young man's originally calm and peaceful mood was somewhat destroyed, and a little murderous aura appeared between his eyebrows.

He tried to tilt out all the qi in his body, his hair floated, a dream scene of steaming clouds, and the pitch-black qi visible to the naked eye took him as the center of the circle, and quickly spread, until this moment, the young prince looked intoxicated and natural, and the wisps of murderous aura that surged into his heart suddenly went down.

Bamboo rubbed her sleepy eyes and pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard, raising her eyebrows slightly to catch a glimpse of the remaining leaves in the courtyard trembling in the breeze, she suddenly felt a majestic pressure appear from the top of her head, pressing her heart beating wildly.

The girl raised her head with some difficulty, and finally saw the figure of the god clearly, Chu Xianzhao sat cross-legged on the roof, wearing a pure white robe, and a fierce and violent qi emanated from the seven orifices, and the pitch-black qi seemed to dye the white robe a touch of pure black, and the whole person looked like there were only two colors, black and white, and his body was extremely distinct.

She stared blankly at the boy, as if the boy who had loved playing games with her and the pomegranate as a child had disappeared after all these wars, and the young man with the majesty of a king was so strange that she had the idea of prostrating herself for the first time.

It was he who destroyed the country of Yan Mang with his own hands, killed the queen of that country, and defeated him in a personal duel with Pu Lao, one of the nine generals of the Dragon King, during the Battle of Concubine Pass, and the dragoons he brought were also killed by him.

Hearing these stories from the outside, she and Pomegranate were terrified, and she couldn't believe that this was something that Chu Xianzhao could do, in her impression, Chu Xianzhao seemed to be the little boy who liked to sleep lazily and dig out the bird's nest, and when he came back this time, he seemed to have changed from a boy to a man, making it difficult for him, a girl who lived in the past, to adapt.

Zhuzi's eyes were a little dull, and he muttered, "Third Prince...... Your Highness!"

Chu Xianzhao reined in his qi and looked down at the girl below him with a smile.

Jumping up from the roof and landing in front of her, he saw the girl's thoughts, and said lightly, "Don't be afraid, I'm still me, my father said today."

There is a big parade of iron cavalry in the sky...... I'm going to ...... too So you have to get that feeling back...... Don't be afraid, your master is still your master, and you won't become someone else. ”

"The Three Princes...... His Highness ...... "The girl is still a little dumbfounded.

Although Chu Xianzhao said that he was still him, Zhuzi didn't believe it very much, he had never left the palace since he came back from Shuyue, and he rarely even participated in the celebration banquet, he often sat in the room in a daze, and occasionally Su Nianyu would smile when he came to play the piano for him.

He also made a few small wind chimes with his own hands when there was no one around, hung by the window with a strand of long black and white hair, the wind chimes swayed, and the whole weeping eagle could hear the crisp and pleasant sound, and his eyes on the table to look at the wind chimes were always a little empty and lonely, which made her feel distressed.

There are some things he doesn't say, and he doesn't ask, but he feels sorry for him, and he used to share with them no matter what trivial and interesting things he encountered, but now he doesn't speak in a relaxed tone as before, and he begins to become a bit like His Majesty the Emperor, like a king giving orders to you, which makes her feel great awe...... With a hint of inexplicable alienation.

The person in front of you...... It's so familiar and so strange.

"Bamboo?"

Chu instantly nodded her forehead and said, she suddenly came to her senses and curtsy her knees, "What does Your Highness command?"

Chu Xianzhao smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just think you're a little unwilling." ”

Today is the military parade, Emperor Yinhuang a week ago let people set up two tall and extraordinary parade platforms on the Lotus Square, today's military parade of civil ministers and military generals are all outstanding people, Emperor Yinhuang in addition to not let people teach him to learn sword and martial arts, he has received Confucianism and domineering education since he was a child, but he is naturally aware of the power operation of Lin'an City.

I have also studied the power structure of the Yinguo since I was a child, as the future heir of the country, he must understand these intricate power systems, the official system of the Yinguo is quite complex, most of the power is in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor, except for a few vassal kings who control the land, people and wealth, their power is given by His Majesty the Emperor, although the Yinhuang is iron-fisted but not monopolized, part of the power is dispersed to the six officials, the country of Yinguo only had six states at the beginning, and four states were added after the destruction of the West, and now there are five more states after the destruction of Yan Mang, which was not favored by so many people at the beginning, and now everyone can't understand how this country works。

The so-called ship is difficult to turn around, the power of the Yin country is complicated, and Emperor Yin is a person who is on the surface, but there are too many people behind him who can give orders, and with the identity of Chu Zhao's three princes, he still can't see the true faces of these people, and their true faces are hidden under the water.

"Is Your Highness coming back late today?"

Bamboo brought him water to wash his face, Chu Xianzhao took the towel she handed and nodded, "There is a military parade today, I will come back later, you can eat first, don't wait for me." ”

Zhuzi said with a smile on his face, "How can this be, I heard Gonggong Rong say that today you are His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness...... Then you will be His Majesty the Emperor from now on!"

"Alright, His Royal Highness...... It's a little strange to hear you call me that, anyway, whether it's His Royal Highness the Prince of the World or His Royal Highness the Third Prince, don't you always call me Your Highness?"

He put down the towel and rubbed the maid's head, the bamboo was tall and tall, Chu Xianzhao had to stand on tiptoe to meet her eye level, but in front of him, the girl would always subconsciously lower her head, she was ashamed and smiled, "Why is Your Highness so good to us?"

Chu Xianzhao laughed and said, "Don't always ask these stupid questions, we grew up together, who else can I be good to if I'm not good to you?"

She blushed and looked at him without saying anything, and when Chu Xianzhao hadn't come back yet, Su Nianyu had returned to Lin'an City with a few boxes of gems.

She lives in the courtyard next door and occasionally comes to the Weeping Eagle Wan string to visit the door, and she quickly gets acquainted with herself, she tells herself about Chu Xianzhao's heroic deeds along the way, and when she talks about her high spirits, even she is a little fascinated, and even the pomegranate who doesn't like her can listen to it with two eyes, and nod frequently.

In the end, it is still a woman's mind that is deeper than the sea, Su Nianyu said in one go, and even the matter of raw rice cooked rice with Chu Instantzhao was shaken out for them, now they can envy the dead pomegranate, they know that the master likes to be passive, this woman named Su Nianyu is the woman who makes His Highness eat the marrow, and it is a shame that no matter how they dress up all these years, they can't make His Highness tempt them, it turns out that the direction is wrong.

Pomegranate was sticky to His Royal Highness the Third Prince as soon as he was free after learning about it, and a good young girl recently had a crisp chest and half naked like a school woman, and took the initiative to add incense to his red sleeves and grind the ink, eager to grind Chu Xianzhao's arm into her twin peaks of mutton fat and jade, thinking about learning Su Nianyu's charm and charm, which made Chu Xianzhao cry and laugh.

"There aren't many people who can grow up with me, and hopefully we can grow old together. Chu Xianzhao rubbed his eyebrows and said softly, "Bamboo, you can prepare that robe for me now." ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

......

......

In the early spring of the twentieth year of the Apocalypse, there will be a grand military parade in the city today, except for those few vassal kings who look up and don't look down, the officials of the entire Yinguo court have come to Lin'an City, among them

Most of the wind eagle iron cavalry who wanted to disarm and return to the field were all Meng Yu, and the other three famous generals Bai Yun, Ye Zang and Hua Youyue also took off their armor and put on their court clothes, and went to the parade platform in Lotus Square together.

Lin'an City is undoubtedly one of the most spectacular cities in history after several expansions, the circumference is eighteen miles, the city wall is rammed, the building on the central axis is even more prosperous, now Lin'an City is full of traffic, every person sitting in the carriage can not be underestimated, there are white-haired but still energetic old officials of the three dynasties, as well as the high-spirited but not the year of the Punishment Division, there is the rich and rival country in the hands of the country's economic lifeline of the old man, and there are the royal relatives and relatives of the Chu royal family, the whole country has the right to speak in Lin'an City, these people have the historical context of the Dayin Dynasty in their hands, which is these thousands of important faces, forming the pillars of a country, some people even joked that if an assassin wanted to assassinate one of them, if he let it succeed, the whole country might tremble if the pillar of the country was removed, and it would be difficult to recover for a while.

Huang Yuancheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is in charge of the military decrees, the martial party of the 30,000 forbidden troops in Lin'an City, the literary faction headed by Yuan Dongqing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the students in Lin'an City admire and follow the people, Yuan Dongqing is the closed disciple of the former national teacher Li Xianzai, and is also considered to be the next national teacher of the Yin State, the divine faction headed by the great priest Guo Yu, plus the various intricate immortal forces of the Qintianjian Warlock, as well as various Hanlin Academy factions, it is difficult to count them with their fingers. After they entered the Lotus Square, they all sat in their respective positions, and the division of forces was clear at a glance, some whispered, some closed their eyes to recuperate, and some were speechless, feeling lucky that they could participate in this military parade.

In this military parade, what interests them the most is the legendary Iron Shura armor, it is said that His Majesty the Emperor is working with the Apocalypse Machine to create a new generation of armor, with this kind of armor like a god, they finally won the battle of Feizi Pass, and one of the participating parties, the Qingguo Dragoon, was also repulsed.

The last military parade was ten years ago, when it was the shining home of the Wind Eagle Iron Cavalry after returning from the battle of the West, in addition to which Emperor Yin never placed tens of thousands of iron horsemen in Lin'an City, for the people at that time, the black armor of the Wind Eagle Iron Horse came like darkness all over the world, some aristocratic women who had not seen the world were afraid to scream, they stood with pure white eagle flags, like heavenly soldiers passing in front of so many people, and the shocking scene was forever remembered by them.

Every military parade is like a spring breeze turning an old page for Yinguo, and Yinguo will usher in a new page.

The scene outside the Lotus Square was even more impressive, and the military attachés of the civil ministers came to the Lotus Square, and the ministers of Yipin led by the emperor Zuo Ci and the first assistant Xu Yi walked side by side.

There are also the four famous generals of the Yin Kingdom, the general of the Iron Wing Palace, Meng Yu, the general of the Wind Feather Palace, Hua Youyue, the general of the Hussar Bai Yun, and the general of the protector of the country, Ye Zang Hachar.

Among them, Hua Youyue, the general of the Wind Feather Palace, was exposed to everyone's sight for the first time in ten years, wearing a bright red feather robe, and passed past the minister of Yipin with his head up, as a general, he should not be so high, but no one dared to raise a different meaning to her, and everyone was a little silent.

Hua Youyue came to the parade building and walked up the stairs, Bai Yun and Ye Zang watched Hua Youyue whisper to each other, and the woman glanced at her slightly and suddenly stopped talking, Meng Yu looked at her and smiled with relief, but there were no words. Hua Youyue suddenly stopped in front of Lord Shoufu, looking at the Zijin figure on the parade floor in a trance, Xu Yi, the elderly old man who had admonished Hua Youyue in front of His Majesty the Emperor to expel Hua Youyue from the city, subconsciously snorted, obviously dissatisfied with Hua Youyue's attitude frivolous, until the Zijin figure nodded to her, she retracted her gaze, rose step by step, and climbed into the building.

Everyone sat behind His Majesty the Emperor, Ye Zang looked at Bai Yun's fat of more than two hundred catties in horror and sat down, for fear that the parade building would collapse, and the parade building was suddenly silent.

Ye Zang looked around, Lord Shoufu was even more silent, the place where Hua Youyue sat was closest to His Majesty the Emperor, and Meng Yu was sitting with the eldest princess.

It is said that this time Meng Yu will step down from the post of unification of the wind eagle iron cavalry, and then marry the eldest princess to live the days of disarming and returning to the field, the wind eagle iron cavalry was greatly injured after the war between Yan Mang and Shu Yue, and less than 1,000 of the 20,000 iron cavalry were left to return home, when Bai Yun learned the news, he came directly to Meng Yu's mansion and gave him a kick despite the injury, and kicked him into the courtyard, and then this piece of Roshan broke free from the pull of five or six guards and gave Meng Yu a fist, but Meng Yu was still calm and speechless in the face of his anger, Bai Yun's lips trembled, and he sat on the ground with a slump at that time, looking at the sky and panting, feeling that his heart was going to break。

Of course, he was angry, and threatened to slaughter Meng Yu's corpse in pieces, but fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor personally came forward to comfort him, which persuaded the middle-aged general who personally created the Wind Eagle Iron Horse.

Ye Zang took a deep breath, put his hand on Meng Yu's shoulder, looked at the back of His Majesty the Emperor and Hua Youyue, and said softly, "Dead fat man, you, I, Meng Yu, when the three of us were young, we always said that we wanted to fight for His Majesty the Emperor, especially Meng Yu's guy is even more prominent, in fact, we are also old, some things are almost fine, you can rest assured that you can hand them over to the young people, and the teacher's spirit in the sky will also be comforted." ”

Bai Yun nodded, he still remembered the war in the Tiannü River that year, he and Ye Zang stood side by side on the edge of the frozen glacier, behind them was the magnificent scene of heavy snow falling, snowflakes falling on the iron armor, they stepped on that glacier and fought with the warriors of the Golden Horde, all red blood stained with white snow.
