When he came back from the priest's courtyard it was nearly midnight, Ji Buyun lay on the bed, and sweetened himself with the high priest for a while through his divine sense as usual, although he had just separated, but because Nan Wan'er was on his side, the two had a lot of self-conscious words that they couldn't say at all, so they had to chat about lovesickness in this way.

After the high priest fell asleep, Ji Buyun missed the queen who was sleeping on her chest again, and she would be able to communicate with herself through her divine sense for more than a month, I don't know what the rude and willful queen would be like if she knew that she had married the high priest, but fortunately, the high priest had agreed to find an opportunity with him to plan in detail how to place the queen, and it was also a good choice to let her go to the Spiritual Qi Peak again.

He originally wanted to return to the Central Plains Empire, but now that he has a high priest, he plans to stay in the highlanders.

In the dream rippling with the cold fragrance, Ji Buyun dreamed of the high priest and the queen, and the strange thing is that he also dreamed of colorful clouds flying in the sky, and there were countless sacred or evil shadows faintly between the clouds.

After breakfast the next day, the priest of Woyue brought a few small priests to send ten jars of wine, and Ji Buyun instructed Ji Meng to collect it, and then called the captain of the Praetorian Guard on duty, and told him to take out two squadron brothers and hand them over to Qi Seventeen to manage, specifically responsible for the security in front of the priest's courtyard.

The prince of the Wind God Temple, who was very satisfied with Ji Buyun's arrangement for him to guard the door, happily took his two junior disciples to take up his post in the company of the captain on duty.

After a while, Ji Fan came in and reported to Ji Buyun that Qian Qiqi personally led a squadron of brothers to be on duty in front of the Priest's Courtyard, and the brothers of another squadron were led by his two junior brothers and were practicing a strange formation.

Ji Buyun waved his hand and told Ji Fan to keep an eye on it, and they didn't interfere with anything.

At this time, Xitu Xiao and Ao Xian came to the barracks with a few middle-level Janissaries, and he didn't wait for Ji Buyun to go out to greet him according to etiquette, and came in directly.

They came to communicate with Ji Buyun about runic weapons, he should have recalled Ji Buyun back to the headquarters to communicate about this matter, according to the current situation, the marriage of Ji Buyun and the high priest is a foregone conclusion, and these elites of the Praetorian Guard naturally dare not hold up in front of Ji Buyun, so they can only grieve Xi Tuxiao, the top boss, deign to come to see Ji Buyun.

The 1,000 Praetorian Guards equipped with runic weapons have now been dispatched, and Ao Xian has been appointed commander of the rune weapons battalion, which will be stationed in the temporary barracks within three days.

Nan Wan'er had already handed over the rune weapon to the Praetorian Guard as agreed, but no one in the Praetorian Guard had mastered the use of the rune weapon, and if she wanted to really form combat effectiveness, it seemed that she had to turn to the chatter princess.

Xitu Xiao didn't care about the relationship between his superiors and subordinates with Ji Buyun, and he didn't care about the presence of many subordinates, and Ao Xian sandwiched him in the middle, Xitu Xiao said affectionately: "Brother, I have discussed with Commander Ao, if you want to move that elf princess, you have to go out in person." ”

Ao Xian immediately followed: "Brother, those weapons are good, they won't be used in vain, you won't watch our brothers fall to the ground, right?"

Xituxiao followed: "Brother, I will leave this matter to you, you are responsible for begging that elf princess to train us, just tell my brother how much money it costs." ”

Ao Xian further added: "Brother, my brother's wife is carrying it with me, and if I want to use it, I will take it with you." ”

As soon as the two sang and harmonized, Ji Buyun had no choice but to admit it: "Don't worry, you two, this matter will be handed over to the brother, and the elf princess also promised to teach us the rune weapon battle array, and this will also be handed over to the brother." ”

Xituxiao and others were overjoyed when they heard this.

Speaking of this, Ji Buyun remembered that Ji Fan told him in the morning that Qi Yue and Qi Ling took a squadron of brothers to practice the formation, and he had just mentioned this matter to Xitu Xiao, who waved his hand and led them straight to the training ground.

I saw that Qianyue and Qianling took 60 Praetorian Guards to form a group of six in ten battle formations at the training ground, two people in front, two people on the side, one in the center, one in the back, the front is responsible for attacking, the side is responsible for covering, the center is responsible for responding, and the back is responsible for supplementing.

Xituxiao and Ao Xian are both veterans of the army, and the two of them know at a glance that this is a very clever melee battle formation.

Ao Xian glanced at Xituxiao first, and after exchanging glances, he patted Ji Buyun on the shoulder and said, "Brother, these two brothers are very good-looking, where did you invite them?"

Ji Buyun had already discussed the confession with Qian Seventeen and the others yesterday, and said, "It was sent by the Central Plains Empire to protect my brother. ”

Xitu said: "Are the three who just joined the Praetorian Guard yesterday?"

Ji Buyun replied "yes".

Xituxiao and Ao Xian exchanged another look and said, "Brother, Commander Ao and I have something to ask you. ”

Ji Buyun said: "The commander-in-chief has something to order." ”

Xitu said: "This battle formation is very clever, can you let your two guards also teach other brothers?"

Ji Buyun said: "This, I have to discuss it with them." ”

He personally went over and roughly told the two brothers what Xi Tuxiao meant, and the two brothers happily agreed.

After agreeing on these things, Ji Buyun reported to Xituxiao that he had arranged for the seventeenth person to be responsible for the security in front of the priest's house.

Xitu said: "Brother, you can look at these things and arrange them, you don't need to report them to me, by the way, if the name is not right, it is not good, the biggest personnel authority of our Praetorian Guard is the captain level, and no matter how big it is, it will have to be governed by five people, so that your guard who is responsible for the security of the priest's house I immediately ordered him to be appointed as the captain, and three squadrons were drawn to him, specifically responsible for the security in front of the priest's courtyard, and the other two were appointed as captain-level teachers, Anya, Ji Meng, and Ji Fan were appointed as squadron leaders, and they are still responsible for protecting you, what do you think?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the circle was shocked.

It took only ten hours for the Seventeen and Three Brothers to go from being an ordinary Praetorian Guard when they joined the army to being promoted to a middle-level captain, setting a precedent for the speed of the Praetorian Guard. Even the three guards with Ji Buyun were promoted to squadron leaders, even the commander-in-chief of Xituxiao did not have this treatment, it seems that he had paid for Ji Buyun to save face.

After Xituxiao finished speaking, he immediately returned to Ji Buyun's headquarters to write down the promotion order, and arranged for Anya and one of his guards to go to the Praetorian Guard headquarters to go through the relevant procedures, and he wanted to stay here to watch the appointment letter be issued in person.

In just half an hour, Anya returned with the letter of appointment. After the seventeenth and three brothers got the letter of appointment, they were all overjoyed, and they thanked Xituxiao and the others, and Ji Buyun pondered on the side: I don't know how the prince of the Wind God Temple is becoming, whether he has really never seen the world or pretended, and the captain of the Praetorian Guard in one person can make him happy like this.

What Ji Buyun didn't know was that it was true that Qi Qiqi was the prince of the Wind God Temple, but there was no difference between him and ordinary disciples in the Wind God Temple, on the contrary, he practiced harder, thinking that the senior brothers were set an example, and now that he had hundreds of people to manage in the world, how could he not be elated.

Ji Meng and Ji Fan had indifferent expressions, their duty was to protect Ji Buyun closely, and it didn't matter to them whether they were promoted or not.

After dealing with these, Xitu Xiao and the others wanted to go back to the headquarters of the Praetorian Guard, and Ji Buyun hurriedly told him that he was going back to Haotian City.

Xituxiao did not hesitate, immediately agreed, and assigned Ao Xian to be on duty for him.

Ji Buyun arranged for Anya, Ji Meng, and Ji Fan to bring the ten jars of wine sent by the high priest in the morning, and returned to Haotian City with Xituxiao.

He first went to his uncle Buyun's house to say goodbye, his uncle was not at home, and after greeting his aunt, he went back to his room and found out the brocade box containing the ring, and after hiding it closely, he took Ji Meng and them to meet the ants.

The ants were sitting under the apple tree basking in the sun, and when they saw them coming in, they didn't get up, motioned to Ji Meng to put the wine into the stone room, and motioned to Ji Buyun to sit.

After Ji Meng and the others put the wine out, the ant said, "I think you should come to me these days." ”

As he spoke, he took out a small yellow booklet from his arms and handed it to Ji Buyun.

Ji Buyun took the booklet and asked, "Master, what is this?"

Ant said: "The ancestor passed it on to me, saying that it is a method of practicing qi, I have practiced for more than ten years and it is useless, and I thought that the old guy was blinded by me, who knew that it was the aura between heaven and earth that was sealed." ”

It seems that there is a tradition for the dragon people to secretly call the master an old guy, not only Ji Buyun, but also ants.

Ji Buyun carefully hid the booklet in a brocade box, and asked euphemistically, "Master, do you have anything else to tell me?"

The ant groaned for a moment and said, "How are you feeling lately?"

Ji Buyun said: "What does Master mean?"

Ant said: "It's all there." ”

Ji Buyun said: "There are a lot of things, a lot of things, and I feel very busy every day." ”

Ant said: "You are going to take on a huge responsibility, it is easy to get lost like now, you should stop, let go of these trivial things, calm down, think about what you want to do, what should you do?"

What Ji Buyun wanted most now was to marry the high priest quickly, but he was embarrassed to say this, so he could only say euphemistically: "I feel as if everything should be done." ”

Ant said: "The most important thing for you now is to practice, you can give up everything for the sake of cultivation, if that day really comes, you must have enough strength to take on the responsibility." ”

Ji Buyun asked, "Master, what did that day mean?"

The ant pretended to be profound: "You will know when the time comes." ”

Ji Buyun felt that the old guy was pretending to be a ghost to deceive him, and asked, "Master, do you know anything about the affairs of the Eighty-One Domain?"

Ant said: "I have heard some things from the ancestors, but I don't know much about them. ”

Ji Buyun saw that the ant was reluctant to say this, so he got up and wanted to say goodbye, but the ant stopped him and said, "Do you know the use of the dragon pendant now?"

Ji Buyun said: "I know a little bit." ”

Ant said: "The ancestor only told me back then that the dragon pendant was a channel of cultivation communication between the dragon and the dragon, because the aura had been sealed for too long, and many things had been lost to my master, and now I can only rely on you and Ying Qingyi to explore it by yourself." ”

Ji Buyun smiled bitterly: "How do you feel that I, the dragon master, seem to be fake? You gave me a jade pendant and told me that this is the dragon pendant, I am the dragon master, I must practice and take responsibility, but you, the master, don't know anything, Ying Qingyi doesn't know more than me, everything has to rely on me to explore, master, I'd better forget it, you see if there is a suitable candidate, send this dragon pendant out." ”

Most of Ji Buyun's complaint is serious, he has had no ambitions since he was a mixed-race child, and he has gotten used to it, and now he is in love with the high priest of his dreams, and he just wants to live in peace, what kind of ethereal things like saints and gods, he doesn't even want to think about it.

The ant said, "I want to give it away too, but it has chosen you as the Lord, and it wants to send it out unless you die." ”

Ji Buyun said: "You said that it chose me as the master, why don't I know? This is all what you said, can you prove it?"

The ant sneered: "Don't think I don't know, if it doesn't choose you as the master, how can it protect you?"

Ji Buyun was speechless.

Ant said: "These things are all done by the will of heaven, and you are ordered by heaven to do so, you can only act according to the will of heaven." ”

Ji Buyun said: "Then Master, you taught me something useful, now I am not even a junior mage, and I may give away my life at any time when I go out." ”

This time, he came with the attitude of never giving up if he didn't dig something out of the ants, and the ants gave him a booklet on practicing qi, and he had already learned how to practice qi with the queen in the palace in the cave, and he felt that the ants must have a lot of things to hide from themselves.

Ant said, "Do you remember the ring that Ji Cheng brought you last time?"

Ji Buyun took out the brocade box from his arms and said, "That's it, right?"

Ant said: "It's this, do you know why he is called the Dragon Ring?"

Ji Buyun said: "I don't know, Master, please advise." ”

The ant was finally willing to tell him something useful, and his attitude immediately became much more correct.

Ant said: "Supreme Three Treasures, the Imperial Dragon Pei contains the meaning of the Great Dao, which requires you and Ying Qingyi to explore and comprehend together; Fulong Sword has supreme attack power, this sword is now in the Ji Ancestral Temple, it is said that this sword can allow you and Ying Qingyi to achieve the unity of man and dragon, and slash gods and demons with one sword;

Ji Buyun said honestly: "I don't know." ”

Ant said: "The mystery of nature is the secret hidden in nature, you can use the ring with Ying Qingyi to change the surrounding environment according to your own mind." ”

Ji Buyun said, "Is it any use? Master." ”

Ant said: "Stupid, how could the dragon pendant choose you? Think about it, what if you want to fight in the water with someone who is good at swimming?"

Ji Buyun said: "No need to fight, Master, I can't swim, I drowned." ”

The ant said, "Then what if you pull him to the land and beat him?"

Ji Buyun suddenly realized, and said with great joy: "Master, is this ring really so powerful?"

Ant said, "Do you think the Supreme Three Jewels are fake?"

Ji Buyun asked, "Master, do you know how to use it?"

Ant said: "Dragon Dance, stupid, I let you practice for so many years, do you think it's useless?"

Ji Buyun asked again, "What about the specifics?"

The ant said angrily: "The ancestor told me this, and I don't know more." ”

Ji Buyun finally dug up something useful in the ants, he wanted to meet Ying Qingyi next time, the first thing was to see if this dragon ring could change the surrounding environment according to the two of them, if it was really possible, it didn't matter what kind of ice and fire it was in the Chaos Domain, the ring was a finger, what did you want.

After this matter came to an end, Ji Buyun wanted to knock on the side to see how much the ants knew about the divine sense, and he asked, "Master, that set of dragon swords is controlled by divine sense, right?"

Ant said: "When the ancestor taught me this set of swordsmanship, I was also very confused, these moves are not at all human beings can be cast, now think about it, at that time, it was because the aura was sealed, and the spell could not be cast. ”

He also said: "If this set of swordsmanship is displayed with divine sense, it must be very powerful, but unfortunately, I am old and don't want to practice, so I won't learn this, you can figure it out yourself." ”

Ji Buyun snorted, and the ant asked, "How is the matter of the high priest ascending the throne as king?"

Ji Buyun said: "This, she doesn't want to ascend the throne for the time being." ”

Ant said: "In extraordinary times, it is right not to ascend the throne, at this time, you should try to keep your light and obscurity, stay away from disputes, and maintain a transcendent position." ”

This is the ant's heartfelt words, Ji Buyun said respectfully: "Remember, Master, I will definitely tell her." ”

Ji Buyun chatted with the ants for a few more words, and got up to say goodbye.

It was rare to come out once, he planned to visit his old colleagues in the Senate first, and then go to the Central Plains Pavilion to see what new news Ji Chengna had.

Ji Buyun and Ao Xian have both been transferred, and now the captain of the Senate garrison has been promoted from the original deputy captain You Ji, who is the younger brother of the five-person ruling archdeacon You She.

The two were originally colleagues, but now although You Ji has been promoted by one level, Ji Buyun has been promoted by two levels in a row, and You Ji has become his subordinate.

After the two met and exchanged greetings, Yu Ji told him that the plenary meeting of the Senate was about to be held, and the nine tribes of the steppe barbarians had sent a huge delegation headed by the princesses of the Great Wizard, Tuoba and Tuiqi to try to persuade the Senate to pass the decision to send troops.

The barbarian envoy has now arrived at the Helian Pass, which is less than eight hundred miles away from Haotian City, and the five-person ruling has sent a standing army marshal Ao Zhiwu to greet him in person, and it is expected to arrive in Haotian City in four days.

Captain Ji said: "The five people in power are sending Shunshui favors, and it is Lord Ao who proposes to send troops, and he is not bothered by the two masters, and it is naturally most appropriate for him to welcome the grassland barbarian mission." ”

Ji Buyun was concerned about how no one had told the high priest about this matter.

He asked sideways, "Is this matter still being kept secret?"

The captain said: "It's not a secret, I got the news three days ago, yesterday Lord Ao had already set off, and after deliberation, the five people decided not to report this matter to the high priest, can you guess what it means?"

Ji Buyun thought for a while and said, "The five people in power want to deal with it coldly. ”

The captain slapped his face and said: "Yes, Commander Ji is really insightful, the five people in charge deliberately did not report this matter to the high priest, just to minimize the impact of the mission's visit." ”
