Ji Heng and Ji Cheng once discussed with Ji Buyun, according to the etiquette of the Central Plains Empire, Ji Buyun, as the prince of the empire, must bow to the emperor who canonized him with his wife at the wedding, even if his wife is a foreign queen, it must be so, otherwise, the emperor will not be able to maintain it, and even his uncle will be implicated, and the two strongly persuade him to communicate with the high priest and accept this etiquette.

Ji Buyun has thought about this matter many times, he has grown up among the highlanders since he was a child, and he has no concept of the Central Plains royal family, if there is no Ji Heng, he will directly omit the etiquette of bowing.

He looked at the High Priest, who happened to be looking at him as well, their eyes facing each other, their eyes full of tenderness.

This noble and beautiful woman made him fall in love at first sight, the various experiences between the two have made each other have carved each other in the deepest part of their hearts, they don't need to say anything now, an expression, a look to know what the other party thinks, both of them trust each other unconditionally, this is true love.

For the queen, he can only feel guilty now, he can't put her in the most important position in his heart, that passionate and simple woman would rather be damaged than break the barrier to meet him physically, this affection as a man he can never live up to.

He knew that although the high priest was trying to delay the time to ascend the throne, it was difficult to disobey the oracle of Haotian, and it was a matter of time before he ascended the throne, which was also the fundamental reason why the five people in power resolutely opposed the high priest bowing to the emperor of the Central Plains Empire.

Not just the five in power, all the senators of the Senate, all the highlanders would be opposed.

Now that the High Priest had left the decision to him despite all objections, he had to do something for her, and he must not let her lose the face of the Highlanders. Even if the emperor blames him, it doesn't matter if he cuts his son's title.

It's just that the rhetoric must be tactful, and Ji Heng must not be allowed to suffer from unwarranted disasters.

After typing the manuscript in his heart, Ji Buyun raised his glass and said to everyone: "I was born in the imperial family, I was given the title of the empire, and I must follow the imperial etiquette, and now Woduo and I are married by the oracle of Haotian, I have not personally reported this matter to the clan, without the permission of the emperor, I can only bow to the emperor according to the etiquette at the wedding, and when I go to the Central Plains Empire to thank me after my marriage with Woduo, I will ask the emperor for guilt, complete the relevant procedures, and then meet the saint thank you with her." ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone present was happy, and they all felt that this method was the most suitable, Ji Buyun excused his marriage without the permission of the clan, and exempted the high priest from bowing to the emperor of the Central Plains Empire for a thank-you ceremony, and the arrogant highlanders would not be ashamed of the queen to thank the emperor of a foreign country, Ji Heng did not have to worry about the emperor's blame, both sides had face, as for Ji Buyun's request for guilt and etiquette when he went to the Central Plains Empire to thank him, everyone knew that it was purely a pretext, and he would talk about it later.

At Zhongxiu Pass, under the bright moonlight, a wisp of black mist floated out of the runes, and the fog echoed with the dark night sky, which seemed to have some kind of magic.

The hair-thin black mist went straight up to the nine heavens, stretching in the vast and infinite night sky, conjuring up countless different patterns, and finally, these patterns combined into a magic eye in the deepest part of the night sky, staring coldly at Qi Seventeen and somewhere in the barracks.

In the eyes of the devil, countless abstract souls and flames formed the pupils of fear, deep and cold, indifferent to all life in the world.

If he had experienced the great battle three hundred years ago or had been to the Queen's palace, he would have known that this Demon Eye was a unique spell symbol of the Xingtian Sect, and it was not exactly the same as the fierce and domineering Demon Eye of the cultivators of the Ghost Domain.

Under the gaze of the pupils, Qian Qiqi felt an inexplicable chill behind him, and looking back, there was only the moon and stars, and the night sky was silent.

He searched the military camp again with his divine thoughts, and after a long time, he finally found that there was a slight fluctuation of divine thoughts somewhere in the military camp, which was the unique fluctuation of divine thoughts of cultivators in the Feather Transformation Realm when cultivating divine consciousness.

The cultivator's divine consciousness cultivation is carried out in the divine mansion, and there will be no divine thought fluctuations during normal cultivation, and now this cultivator in the military camp must be practicing some kind of unfamiliar spell, and he has not yet mastered all the techniques of this spell, so he will emit abnormal divine consciousness fluctuations.

Thinking that the spell used by the assassin came from the Archer Domain, Qi XVII smiled in his heart and stared intently at the fluctuation of his divine thoughts.

It was a tent, and in the dark night, it was silent, and there were more than a dozen figures flickering around the tent.

Qi Qiqi mobilized his divine sense, intending to search into the camp, and his divine sense touched a layer of enchantment as soft as cicada wings, which was a divine sense barrier set up by the cultivators, and if the barrier was forcibly broken, the cultivators in the camp would immediately know.

He had no choice but to withdraw his divine sense, locking the camp with his divine mind while using his divine consciousness to summon six other cultivators.

After Shou Zhen and the others arrived, Qian Qiqi signaled to them that there was a slight fluctuation of divine thoughts in the camp tent, and Shou Zhen and the others searched the camp tent with their divine thoughts, and they also felt the fluctuation of divine thoughts.

The seven were led by Qi Seventeen, with Shou Zhen occasionally expressing his opinions, and the other five acting entirely on the opinions of the two.

Qi Qiqi's expression was grim and said: "The fluctuation of divine thoughts in the barracks comes from cultivators, as far as I know, only the priest has mastered spells among the highlanders, and this cultivator in the barracks is not an assassin and must have a connection with the assassin, so he must immediately enter the barracks to catch him, one is that we will directly break in and catch him now, and the other is to leave four people to watch, I will lead people into the barracks to search, deliberately alarm him, and catch him while he is escaping." ”

Shou Zhen said: "This divine thought fluctuation is sent by a cultivator of the Feather Transformation Realm, we have seven enemies and one, it is absolutely no problem to catch him, the only thing I am worried about is to start a war with spells in the military camp, even if we do our best to protect it, it will hurt the innocent, and we can't explain it after we go back, it is best to search the barracks and force him to come out and do it later." ”

If a Feather Realm cultivator did it intentionally, any move could completely destroy the military camp, and it was impossible to take thousands of lives in order to capture an assassin.

Qian Qiqi said: "I agree with Senior Brother Shou's opinion, after a while, the two brothers of the Rain God Temple and I will take the Praetorian Guard to go in to search, Senior Brother Shou, you are here to monitor, the people around the camp must be related to the cultivator, after we go in, you pay attention to their whereabouts and capture them together." ”

Shouzhen nodded in agreement.

The 173 returned to the courtyard where the Praetorian Guards were stationed and urgently gathered all the Praetorian Guard soldiers.

Hearing that Qian 17 was going to search the standing army camp at night, Captain An said with a sad face: "Commander Qi, is this inappropriate?"

Qian Qiqi said: "What's wrong?"

Captain An said: "The standing army has its own system, and their promotion, transfer, and inspection are directly under the plenary meeting of the Senate, and although the five people in power represent the Senate, they have not interfered with them at all in the past. ”

Qian 17 said: "In the warrant given to me by the five consuls and the commander-in-chief of Xitu, it is clearly stated that I have the right to enter any suspicious place to search, and now there are assassins hiding in their barracks, I am ordered to search, do they dare to stop me?"

Captain An smiled bitterly: "This order is definitely useless to the standing army, the standing army doesn't take us in at all, and won't let us in." ”

Qi Qiqi said angrily: "Look down on the Praetorian Guard, come with me, I see which of them dares to stop me." ”

The Praetorian Guard has been despised by the standing army for a long time, and has long been full of anger at the standing army, and the two sides have their own jurisdictions in peacetime, and it is difficult to meet, but today the deputy commander-in-chief took the lead in finding fault, and all of them were overflowing with pride, and more than 100 Janissaries lined up and happily followed the 17th to the standing army camp on the pass.

At the banquet, after Ji Heng toasted to everyone, he raised a glass to Wo Daren alone: "Brother Wo, although the marriage of the inferior disciple has not been reported to the clan, but after all, it is his marriage, and all the expenses on the wedding will be taken care of by our Central Plains Empire, what do you think?"

The people present were all human spirits, knowing that he was saying this to make up for his face, the marriage of the dignified highlander priest, how could the highlanders be willing to let the Central Plains Empire pay.

After exchanging glances with Lord Buyun vaguely, Lord Wo smiled and said: "The marriage of the two of them is based on the oracle of Haotian, and the etiquette should be done according to the conventions of the highlanders, and the utensils and expenses required for the wedding should be paid by the Senate and the Priest's House have long been ready to stop, and we can only understand the kindness of Ji Henggong, don't you say? ”

Lord Buyun smiled and said: "Brother Ji Heng, you don't have to fight for the wedding cost, all their mansions in Haotian City will be handed over to you, if the silver is not enough, I still have some here." ”

There was a lot of dissatisfaction between the words.

The Buyun family has monopolized the highlanders for three hundred years, and Lord Buyun is known as the richest man in the highlands, and he is as rich as the country, not to mention a Ji Buyun's marriage, even a hundred of which he can personally afford, and he has an irreversible relationship with Ji Heng, as soon as this statement comes out, Ji Heng can only agree.

Seeing Ji Heng give in, Lord Buyun greeted Ji Heng with a smile.

After he first toasted a glass of wine to everyone in the banquet, he got up and came to Ji Heng, and said: "Brother Ji Heng, my nephew's parents died early, and I am only a shallow learner, thanks to your cultivation over the years, he has today's scenery, and I can also explain to his parents. ”

Ji Heng got up and said: "Brother Buyun is not polite, this is my responsibility, you are the uncle of the inferior apprentice, treat him as close as father and son, I am alone, I am called master and apprentice with him, in fact, I also regard him as my own, let's respect each other for this wine." ”

Lord Buyun said hello, the two looked at each other and smiled, no longer talking, and drank three glasses in a row.

Lord Buyun came to the Tuoba Shuang case, raised his glass and said: "Tongtian City has been separated for more than 20 years, the eldest princess's demeanor is still the same as it was back then, and her affection for Brother Ji Heng is even more the same, these years, Brother Ji Heng has to live up to your affection in order to cultivate Ji Buyun, and I often feel guilty about you on behalf of Brother Ji Heng, but you two are dragons and phoenixes among people, and I, a mortal, are not qualified to participate in your affairs at all, this cup of wine wishes the eldest princess and Brother Ji Heng a good thing as soon as possible." ”

Tuoba Shuang snorted, glanced at Ji Heng, and said to Master Buyun: "You are even more serious when you are old, who wants to make a good relationship with him." ”

Tuoba Shuang said this, but the wine was very happy, and the ripples between his eyebrows turned out to be the expression of a girl.

At this time, Yun Ni seemed to think of something, and said a few words to the high priest in her ear, and a trace of worry flashed on the high priest's calm face, and then returned to normal, and she whispered a few words to Ji Buyun beside her.

When Ji Buyun heard this, his complexion changed, and he quickly turned his head and discussed with Xituxiao.

The high priest turned around and explained to Yun Ni, Yun Ni got up and came to the side of Master Ao Zhiwu and whispered a few words to him, and Lord Ao also changed his expression and hurriedly came behind the high priest.

During this time, Lord Buyun raised his glass to the three exotic beauties and said, "The three guests are far away, I take the liberty of inviting you to stay and attend his wedding with Woduo, can you?"

Yu Si, Kun Zhijian, and Lige got up, and Yu Si smiled: "I crossed the endless void and came to Kunlun Domain to visit Ji Gongzi, which happened to be a good thing, if you don't leave me, I won't leave." ”

Lige said: "The elder has a life, how dare he disobey." ”

Kun Zhijian said: "My father ordered me to come to follow Ji Gongzi, and I will do my best to do my best in his major life events." ”

The three of them spoke, Nan Wan'er had been listening attentively, as soon as Kun Zhijian's words came out, she couldn't help but tremble, raised her eyes and looked at the blonde Kun Zhijian carefully, and secretly thought: Among these three people, the most difficult to deal with is this ancient princess, and the other two have the same intention as her, and they have self-respecting identity between words, and they are not clear, but she bluntly said that she is here to follow her little brother, she is cultivated and has good looks, no, no, she has to find a way to make her unable to contact her little brother.

The High Priest, Lord Ao Zhiwu, Ji Buyun, and Xitu Xiao gathered together and discussed briefly for a moment, Lord Ao Zhiwu took out a gold medal from his waist and handed it to Xitu Xiao, saying: "This is the military marshal's token, seeing it as if the military marshal is here in person, you immediately send someone to Zhongxiu Pass, and it will change later." ”

Ji Buyun said to the high priest: "It's hard for manpower to reach, Duo'er, I can only go with Yunni." ”

Before the High Priest could reply, Situ shook his head and said, "If you leave on this occasion, where will you leave the High Priest?"

The high priest exchanged glances with Ji Buyun and said, "It's about the overall situation, so I can't take care of it so much." ”

Ao Zhiwu said: "Xitu is right, if Ji Gongzi leaves and spreads it, it will definitely affect the dignity of the high priest, now the eyes of the highlanders are focused on the adult, there is absolutely no room for mistakes, even if something happens to the standing army, I am sure to suppress it." ”

The high priest is the most noble one among the highlanders, and it is the queen of the highlands, her affairs are the biggest things of the highlanders, compared to it, the rest is not to worry about, if Ji Buyun, as a partner, actually left halfway through the engagement banquet, this is a great disrespect to the high priest, this matter will be rumored, it will cause the anger of all the highlanders, and everyone present will be held responsible.

Nan Wan'er came over at this time and whispered a few words to the high priest and the others, and the high priest looked at Ji Buyun with an inquiring look.

Ji Buyun hesitated: "Is it appropriate?"

Nan Wan'er said: "Little brother, if you talk to Kun Zhijian, she will definitely agree." ”

The high priest said: "Serving guests at the table is not a way of hospitality, and if it is spread out, others will laugh at us highlanders for not being polite." ”

Nan Wan'er said: "That blonde beauty just told the master that she was ordered to follow the little brother, and she is the subordinate of the little brother, not a guest. ”

Ao Zhiwu and Xitu Xiao heard this, their faces showed surprise, Kun Zhijian's cultivation and origin they don't understand very well, but her appearance and bearing are slightly inferior to the high priest, such a beautiful woman has to follow Ji Buyun, it seems that Ji Buyun's identity is by no means as simple as the son of the Central Plains Empire.

Nan Wan'er's idea is very much in line with the high priest and Ji Buyun's intentions, Kun Zhijian's cultivation is far above Ji Buyun, and it is much more appropriate for her to come forward than Ji Buyun.

Nan Wan'er had already called Kun Zhijian over at this time, Yu Si and Lige also followed, and Nan Wan'er didn't stop her.

Ji Buyun said to Kun Zhijian with an apologetic face: "I'm sorry, I have something important to bother you about." ”

The smile on Kun Zhijian's face was like a flowing cloud slowly passing through the sky, and she said lightly: "Master Ji doesn't have to be polite, just tell me if you have something." ”

Ji Buyun took the Standing Army Token from Xitu Xiao's hand and said, "I have a few cultivator friends who are on business at Zhongxiu Pass, two hundred miles away from here, I am worried that they will clash with the local Standing Army, so I ask you to accompany this Yunni Senior Sister to go for a while, give this token to my friends, if they are in danger, please maintain one or two." ”

Yu Si interjected, "I saw them when I came, so I'd better go." ”

Lige said, "I also want to get acquainted with the cultivators of the Kunlun Domain. ”

Nan Wan'er saw the three of them scrambling to go, her big eyes turned around, and she didn't know what the hell she had in her heart.

The high priest said: "The banquet is rude, and it is extremely rude, and you can look at the sea." ”

Before Kun Zhijian spoke, she must have smiled first, and she smiled: "Two hundred miles, come and go only in a moment, Sister Duo'er, Sister Yunni is tired to accompany the three of us to change clothes." ”

After speaking, she glanced at Nan Wan'er intentionally or unintentionally, and her clear eyes seemed to have seen through the mind of the scheming elf princess.

Hearing Kun Zhijian say that two hundred miles came and went only in a moment, Lord Ao Zhiwu and Xitu Xiao's hearts trembled, is this beautiful woman with a noble temperament and elegant face actually a legendary god?

Nan Wan'er was swept by Kun Zhijian's gaze, her heart sank, and then she turned around and said, "Senior Sister Yunni, let's go with a few people." ”

Yun Ni turned to the front, Kun Zhijian, Yu Si, and Lige nodded slightly to Ji Buyun and the high priest, and followed Yun Ni out of the banquet hall.

The people present were all people with great status, and when they saw Yunni taking three exotic beauties out, no one could ask anything, so they could only toast each other.

Yun Ni took Kun Zhijian and the three of them out of the banquet hall, and a faint diamond-shaped pattern flashed from Kun Zhijian's eyebrows, the pattern changed, cutting out an independent space, and the four of them disappeared into the air silently.

The priests who witnessed all this were stunned at first, and then immediately returned to normal, and ordered the stunned little priests to hurry to their duties, as if this shocking scene had never happened.

In Haotian City, in a quiet courtyard, two old men in purple sat opposite each other, two dishes of side dishes, and a pot of turbid wine, compared to the highlanders who were shouting and drinking, they were too quiet.

The old man on the left has white hair, and the one on the right is younger, but he is more burly.

The white-haired old man looked at the stars and moon outside the window, as if he was talking to himself: "Three hundred years, the family has been waiting for several generations, but I didn't expect this to happen when I was already dying." ”

The burly man said: "Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven, we have already done what we should do, three hundred years ago the ancestors failed, I hope we can succeed this time." ”

The white-haired old man said: "The rumors are fermenting in Haotian City, and the results can be seen tomorrow morning." ”

The burly man said: "It's still your old man's clever plan." ”

The white-haired old man said: "It's not me who is clever, I am also obedient." ”

The burly man was stunned for a moment and said, "No matter, drink, drink." ”
