After leaving the song, Kun Zhijian walked over, and with a solemn expression, she took off a bracelet composed of a series of diamonds from Hao's wrist, this crystal clear bracelet is made of unknown materials, glowing with a faint and cold brilliance, and there are vague infinite stratus clouds in the brilliance.

Nan Wan'er obviously knew the bracelet, and she couldn't help but stand up, her eyes fixed on the bracelet, her eyes full of enthusiasm and shock.

Kun Zhijian solemnly put the bracelet on the wrist of the high priest, and said softly: "A little courtesy, talk about the heart, don't give up." ”

Seeing that the god of flowers in the high priest's mansion couldn't help but be full of surprise, and exclaimed: "Shangyun bracelet, this is Shangyun bracelet, this woman is the saintess of Biluo Domain, she is actually willing to take Shangyun bracelet as a gift, it seems that she has very high expectations for Ji Buyun, maybe Xiao Jiu's opponent is coming." ”

Nan Wan'er's opponent was Ji Buyun's suitor, and the high priest looked immovable, and asked the god of flowers in the god's mansion: "Dare to ask the god of flowers, is this cloud bracelet very precious?"

The god of flowers said: "It's not just precious, the three magic weapons and three treasures of the Biluo Domain, the three treasures refer to the Biluo Crown, the Wind Wing, and the Cloud Bracelet, the Biluo Crown is the symbol of the Lord of the Biluo Domain, the Wind Wing belongs to the Biluo Domain Divine Son, the Shangyun Bracelet is owned by the Holy Maiden, the Cloud Bracelet itself contains an independent space, which can distort the void, and the gods regard it as a treasure, she is now willing to take the Cloud Bracelet as a gift, and must know the identity of Ji Buyun, this gift is not for you, it is for the Dragon Emperor, accept it." ”

The high priest heard the explanation of the god of flowers, and knew that this Shangyun bracelet was precious and abnormal, she was indifferent by nature, and she did not want to be given such a generous gift, so she hurriedly took off the bracelet, handed it back to Kun Zhijian with both hands, and said: "The holy woman is so loved, I dare not accept it." ”

Kun Zhijian knew that the priest's court was maintained by gods, and when he saw the high priest suddenly call herself a holy woman, he knew that she was instructed by the gods.

Taking the Shangyun bracelet from the high priest's hand and putting it on her wrist again, Kun Zhijian's face was slightly red, and he said softly: "Since my sister knows my identity and the origin of this bracelet, she should understand my intention, otherwise, it is not enough to express my heart, this is also the meaning of our domain master, please be sure to accept it." ”

Ji Buyun didn't know why, Nan Wan'er stepped forward and grabbed the high priest and said, "Sister, people have good intentions, you can accept it." ”

Turning his head to Kun Zhijian and smiling: "Sister Dai Duo'er thank you for such a generous gift, but it is disrespectful, I accepted it, I accepted it." ”

After saying that, he took the high priest's arm and prevented her from being humble.

Kun Zhijian smiled slightly at the high priest, and his face, carved in pink and jade, was even more classical and noble.

Yu Si stepped forward and said in a low voice: "I don't have elixir or treasures, the high priest's sister is a cultivator, I will give you a set of self-defense exercises, don't dislike the courtesy." ”

After speaking, he pointed at the high priest's eyebrows, and a light and shadow disappeared into the high priest's mansion.

The god of flowers stretched out his hand in the high priest's mansion and grabbed the light and shadow in his hand, his face turned pale, and said: "The jade girl bow, the nine-grade spell, the secret of the archery domain, this gift is heavy enough, and the picture of these three women is not small." ”

The high priest didn't know anything about the Jade Maiden Bow and the Nine Rank Exercises, but she really didn't have the ability to take out the things hidden in her Divine Mansion and return them to others, so she had to give Yu Si a gift to thank her.

The nine adults are not cultivators, and they don't know whether the gifts are expensive or not, but they are kind gifts, as the current subordinates of the high priest and the future ministers, they must say something at this time, and the nine adults, together with Xitu Xiao and Yu Shiqi, got up together and bowed to the three exotic beauties, and Lord Wo said loudly: "I have thanked the three for the generous gifts. ”

Ji Buyun glanced at Nan Wan'er, and Nan Wan'er said, "Oh, you adults are so polite, my sister said that today is her private banquet, so don't you be so formal, okay?"

After saying that, he waved his hand again and again, and the high priest also waved his hand, and all the adults sat down together, and the adults sat down, and Xitu Xiao and You Shi also sat down.

Nan Wan'er pulled Yu Si and the three of them, arranged them back to their seats and said, "Sit down, sit down, everyone is hungry." ”

He turned his head to the priest who was waiting at the door and said, "Serve the food quickly, people are hungry." ”

Tuoba Shuang smiled: "Not only Wan'er is hungry, but I'm also hungry." ”

Ji Heng said: "It's okay, it's okay, I just wanted to say that Wan'er is a foodie." ”

Tuoba Shuang's face was cold, and Ji Heng immediately didn't dare to make a sound.

Nan Wan'er smiled and said, "Master, your old man is worthy of your prestige now." ”

The crowd laughed.

Facing the incomprehensible gazes of Yu Si, Kun Zhijian, and Detached from Song, Nan Wan'er whispered to them about the past of Ji Heng and Tuoba Shuang, and at the same time introduced the relationship between Ji Heng and Ji Buyun.

After listening to the song, he sighed: "No wonder Ji Gongzi commanded Ruoding in the Chaos Domain, it turned out that there was a division like this." ”

The little priests passed the dishes of the Central Plains one by one, the high priest and Ji Buyun got up, the high priest held a cup, Ji Buyun cloth wine, starting from Ji Heng, the two poured wine for the guests in turn.

The high priest himself poured the wine, and the highlanders present were full of thanks.

After pouring the wine, the two returned to their seats, Lord Wo stood up, first raised his glass to Ji Heng, and then said to everyone: "Feng Haotian oracle, the great priest of the highlands Wo Duo will marry Ji Buyun, the prince of the Central Plains Empire, the Wo family specially set up this banquet to discuss marriage, before the banquet, please drink this cup of thanksgiving wine with me with infinite piety and admiration." ”

Everyone got up together, and the three of Yu Si followed their example, raised their glasses in the direction of Kunlun Mountain, praised Haotian, and drank it all.

Lord Wo waved his hand to everyone and said, "Please sit, please sit, today is our Woth family banquet, the family banquet will have the appearance of a family banquet, the highlanders here are all our Wox friends, today regardless of identity and position, they will all be according to the generation, Wo Duo, uncle said that, right?"

Originally, it was a very rude thing for the highlanders to call the high priest by name in front of everyone, but today is a family feast, and according to the rules of the clan, Lord Wo, as the elder of the high priest, must do so.

The high priest stood up and saluted Lord Wo and said, "Everything is up to my uncle's arrangement. ”

Lord Wo smiled: "Okay, good, rank, this family banquet is mainly to discuss their wedding etiquette with Ji Buyun's elder Ji Henggong, the embarrassment is that the previous high priests are lonely for life, Wo Duo married this time by the oracle, it is the first time in three hundred years, there is no precedent in etiquette, Ji Buyun is the son of the Central Plains Empire, and he must abide by some Central Plains etiquette, we can only discuss everything, don't you say? ”

Ji Heng said: "Well, what Brother Wo said is very true, although the marriage between the inferior disciple and the high priest is related to the two countries, but there is an oracle in front of us, in addition to the necessary etiquette, those customs such as acceptance and fame are exempted, and we are subject to your arrangement." ”

Wo Da said: "Okay, let's have a drink together, and I wish Woduo and Ji Buyun to be united forever." ”

After speaking, he raised his glass and signaled to everyone.

Zhongxiu Pass surrounded by mountains.

Qi Qiqi and the others had already searched the town and its vicinity, but there was no trace left by any cultivators. He had no choice but to set up camp with his entourage of cultivators and the Praetorian Guards in a few temporarily requisitioned courtyards.

In the vast twilight, the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard lit a bonfire in the courtyard, and the roaring light of the fire reflected the pale face of the seventeenth, which made him even more preoccupied.

This afternoon, he and six other cultivators searched the nearby mountains and forests with their divine thoughts, and they also searched repeatedly at the Zhongxiu Pass, where the standing army was stationed, but there was no sign of any cultivators.

Before leaving, he boasted to Xituxiao and others that he was going to capture the murderer, but now he saw that the murderer fled immediately after the assassination, and even if the gods came, it would be difficult to solve the case.

The more this happens, the more it proves that the opponent is terrible, the murderer's purpose is to assassinate the tribal elders of the An tribe, and disappear immediately after achieving the goal, behind this, there must be an invisible hand manipulating all this.

This hand can control Xiang Liu, Zhu Yan, and also control the cultivators who are proficient in exotic spells, the ability must be not small, and Qian Seventeen knows that if this invisible hand wants to destroy them, they have no power to resist.

This place is very dangerous.

The safest way now is to withdraw to the barracks of the Priest's Court immediately, with the protection of the god of flowers, it will be difficult for the top powerhouses of the Kunlun Domain to hurt them, just in this way, he will lose face in front of his fellow Praetorian Guards.

The Shouzhen brothers also thought of this, they briefly discussed with him just now, and they all felt that if they came out to do things for the first time, if they went back, not only would they not be able to explain to the Praetorian Guard headquarters, but more importantly, they would leave an impression that they were ineffective in front of Ji Buyun, and it would be difficult to get attention for a long time in the future.

Their elders explained to them before leaving, with the support of Zulong, Ji Buyun and Ying Qingyi would soon become the rulers of the Kunlun Domain, and following Ji Buyun's cultivation, the possibility of becoming gods would be greatly improved.

The gods of the various cultivation places in the East China Sea saw this, so they sent their best disciples to the Highland Guards to train.

After discussing with the other six cultivators, he decided to take the risk of staying, searching again at night, and if he didn't find anything, he would withdraw to the priest's house barracks tomorrow morning.

After arranging the guards' vigilance and accommodation, Qian XVII sent the other six cultivators in groups of two to search in other directions, and turned into a gust of wind and flew over Zhong Xiu Pass.

Under the bright moonlight, he released his divine thoughts, searching every corner of the standing army camp inch by inch.

Around the barracks overlooking the valley, the figures of lightly armed soldiers holding torches flashed from time to time.

Somewhere in the barracks, a faint black runic light flashed in the void. It was a prohibition left behind by the cultivators of the Demon Dao of the Divine Realm, and the divine thoughts of the cultivators of the Feather Transformation Realm could not penetrate at all.

In a courtyard somewhere in Haotian City, five old men dressed in veteran costumes sat around a round table, the table was full of dishes and wine, but several people turned a blind eye, they looked anxiously waiting for someone's arrival.

Outside the courtyard, there were more than a dozen Praetorian Guards on guard, and after a bloody night, Haotian City was already full of undercurrents, grass and trees, they were ordered to come to protect these veterans.

Fortunately, the people waiting for the patriarch in the courtyard soon arrived, and two elders dressed in purple patriarchal costumes came to the outside of the courtyard under the protection of the guards and the Praetorian Guards, among which the burly one was the Ao family elder of the Ao family, and the other was the elder brother of Xitu Xiao, Elder Xitu, and the Praetorian Guards on guard in front of the door bowed and saluted, and respectfully helped them open the courtyard door.

When the two elders walked into the room, the five elders who were waiting stood up to greet each other, who had served in the same standing army legion and who had retired from the army, although they did not belong to the same alliance.

After the seven patriarchs sat down, they exchanged a little greeting, and the elder of the Ao room smiled and said, "Now that the assassins in Haotian City are rampant, a few of you still have the courage to get together, you really want to drink and die." ”

A slightly chubby elder smiled: "Those assassins are out of nowhere, they really want to kill you, you can't hide even if you hide at home, it's better to come out and gather, and it won't hurt so much to be stabbed after getting drunk." ”

Another tall and thin elder said, "A few of us get together, there are more Praetorian Guards guarding us, and it is relatively safer. ”

Elder Ao said, "Do you really think those Praetorian Guards can stop the assassins?"

Elder Xitu said: "I heard my brother say that ordinary Praetorian Guards are also sent to death when they encounter assassins, and they must be Janissaries equipped with runic weapons. ”

The slightly chubby elder said, "Your two younger brothers are both commanders of the Praetorian Guard, so can't you transfer dozens of them to protect us?"

Ao Room and Ao Xian are cousins, but he has always been the only Ao Zhiwu Lord and has little contact with Ao Xian, he snorted and said: "He is now a celebrity in the five-person government, and the future minister of the royal court, so he has time to take care of my brother." ”

Elder Situ said: "Say something you don't like to hear, we are all from the standing army, and we have never taken the Praetorian Guard seriously, but now I see, Ao Xian's step is really right, after the high priest King ascends the throne, the Praetorian Guard will definitely become the best choice for the Queen of Gongwei, and his status in the royal court is probably not below Lord Ao Zhiwu." ”

Ao Mu toasted everyone with a glass of wine, put down the wine glass and said with a smile: "Even if his status is not below Lord Ao Zhiwu, he will inevitably be under Xitu Xiao, you will have a lot of strength in the future, don't forget our brothers." ”

Elder Xitu shook his head and said: "In the future royal court, except for the queen, Ji Buyun's status is the most noble, Ao Xian and Ji Buyun's personal friendship is far above the younger brother, and now he is in charge of the most critical rune weapon battalion of the Praetorian Guard, and his future achievements are definitely above the younger brother." ”

The slightly chubby elder smiled and said, "You two don't flatter each other, I heard that Xitu Xiao was invited to attend the high priest's private dinner today, and Ao Xian is in charge of guarding, these two people will be in the core of the royal court in the future." ”

What these elders are most concerned about now is the high priest ascending the throne as the queen, and who will occupy the core position in the royal court in the future, which involves the question of their standing in line.

The tall slender elder said: "Nine adults, Xi Tu Xiao and You Shedu all participated in today's banquet, plus Ao Xian, these people must be the core figures of the future royal court, and the most important thing is who will hold the power." ”

The highlanders had forbidden anyone to talk about the king, but after the creation of the world blossomed, the high priest was about to be enthroned as the queen of the highlands, which was already the hottest topic of the highland magnates, and they cared more about the high priest as king than about her marriage.

These magnates came from families, and they all knew that the queen of the highlands generally did not personally intervene in political affairs according to convention, and she only held the right to appoint high-ranking officials such as the left minister, the right minister, the jinyan, the military commander, the celebrant, the farmer, the treasurer, the secretary, and the minister of the guard, and the specific affairs would be handed over to these high-ranking officials to manage.

Under royal politics, the power of the Senate will be greatly reduced, and it will become an advisory body to the Queen, and only with the Queen's consent will major matters be submitted to the Senate for a vote.

In the royal court, the most important positions are the two ministers, the left minister is prominent, and the right minister is the most powerful.

The left minister is responsible for the operation of the royal court, and the right minister is in charge of the tribe, and the tribal patriarch will be directly appointed by the right minister from the original senate for the record, which directly involves the vital interests of the senator and the tribal elders.

The elders in Haotian City are most concerned about the candidates for the left phase, and the tribal elders and elders care about the right minister.

The tall and thin elder said: "The two phases should be one of the three choices of Lord Ne, Lord Wo, and Lord Buyun, and Lord Buyun has the greatest hope of being the right minister." ”

Elder Situ said, "I think Lord Nee is more likely. ”

The tall and thin elder said: "Rank, rank, drink, drink, today's private banquet of Lord High Priest is presided over by Lord Wo. ”

An elder who had been silent for a long time said, "Lord Wo is the uncle of the High Priest, and he is a blood relative within three generations, so he should have presided over the banquet. ”

Another elder said, "I think everything is uncertain, and it is said that the High Priest has asked this plenary session of the Senate to discuss only her marriage, and not to mention her enthronement. ”

Lord Ao Mu threw down the half-gnawed bone, clapped his hands and said, "What you said is not right, judging from the changes in the banquet guest list, there is a secret here. ”

Elder Situ asked, "What mystery?"

Ao Room said: "The original banquet list of the High Priest is only Lord Wo and Lord Buyun, one of these two is the uncles of the adults, and the other is the uncle of Ji Buyun, it is natural for them to participate in the private banquet of the adults, and in the afternoon, it was suddenly changed to nine adults to participate together, can't you understand something?"

The tall and thin elder pondered for a moment and said, "Your Excellency High Priest may change his original plan and will ascend the throne as king this time. ”

The slightly fat elder said: "Last night, several elders who connected the high priest to the throne and became king were assassinated, and the list of banquet guests changed today. ”

An elder said, "Well, the demon clan has aroused the anger of the High Priest, and it is very likely that they will do the opposite." ”

As a result, everyone began to discuss how to figure out the intention of the Emperor and ascend the throne as king during the plenary session of the Senate in tandem with the great priest Sima Shang.

In many courtyards and wine shops in Haotian City, similar scenes are repeated repeatedly.

Soon, rumors spread everywhere in Haotian City that the High Priest was indignant at the assassination of the patriarch last night, and today he temporarily changed the list of guests for the banquet, determined to make a decision at the banquet and ascend the throne as soon as possible.

After midnight, rumors formed a public opinion among the drunken highlanders, and those who opposed this public opinion were succumbing to the threat of the demons and not worthy of being the highlanders.

The people in the banquet hall didn't know these things for the time being, and after the three glasses of wine that Lord Wo was full of, Ji Heng solemnly put forward the etiquette requirements of the high priest and Ji Buyun to worship the emperor of the Central Plains Empire at the wedding, which was the only etiquette requirement of the Central Plains Empire for Ji Buyun at the wedding.

Ji Heng said: "In my opinion, red tape is exempt, and this is inevitable, this is the responsibility of the inferior as a descendant of the royal family." ”

Ji Buyun secretly slandered himself: I haven't even been to the Central Plains Empire, why should I salute him when I get married.

This matter has already been decided by the nine adults and Ji Heng, and now it is brought up for the high priest to decide.

The high priest looked at Ji Buyun and said, "I don't have any opinion, the current emperor of the Central Plains Empire is Uncle Ji Buyun, and it is up to him to decide whether to worship or not." ”

Everyone's eyes were focused on Ji Buyun.
