In the Xianglong Kingdom, the atmosphere in the past few days seems to have suddenly become much more solemn, and even the civilians walking on the street have felt this strangeness.

For example, the major families in the country, which were originally peaceful and peaceful, have suddenly begun to break out into various conflicts and even fights in recent days.

For another example, the royal family of the kingdom, which has always been recognized as very strong, chose to stand by coldly in the face of friction and strife between major families this time.

All of this is a sign that a sea change may be on the horizon for the country.

"Dark Dragon, you said that my throne is about to come to an end?"

In the palace of the Xianglong Kingdom, Emperor Yuan Wujiang stood in front of the window, looking at the slowly setting sunset and muttered.

Yuan Wujiang is sixty years old this year, and his face looks very old because of his work on state affairs.

Behind him, at this time, stood a mighty general in black armor, this general was not very old, and his appearance was only about twenty years old.

He is the number one master by Yuan Wujiang's side, and he is also his personal guard, the Dark Dragon.

"Your Majesty, you have been too worried, although we have suffered heavy losses in this war, but the Great Zhou is a two-front battle, and the situation is not much stronger than ours," the dark dragon said comfortingly.

But in his heart, he was not as confident as he said, and it was really a miserable defeat in the Xianglong Kingdom this time.

Yuan Wujiang waved his hand, then walked to the dragon chair and sat down and said, "You don't have to persuade me, I know very well what the current situation of the Xianglong Kingdom is. ”

"Half of the kingdom's million-strong army has been lost, and those families are going to be restless lately. ”

When the dark dragon heard this, a cold glint flashed in his eyes: "Your Majesty, please be relieved, if those families dare to mess around, I will definitely make them regret it." ”

For the words of the dark dragon, Yuan Wujiang did not doubt it.

Perhaps the people of the Xianglong Kingdom believe that the strongest person in the country should be one of the heads of several major families, and no matter how bad it is, he must be the suzerain of the major sects.

But no one knew that the number one master of the Xianglong Kingdom was the dark dragon who had always been close to protecting Yuan Wujiang.

He is also the only strong military commander in the entire kingdom.

"Dark Dragon, how many years have you been with me?"

Yuan Wujiang's tone was very flat, but the dark dragon heard a hint of remembrance from it.

Dark Dragon said: "The minister has been by His Majesty's side since he was eight years old, and it has been twenty years now. ”

The dark dragon, which looked like he was only twenty years old, was already twenty-eight years old.

Even so, being able to reach the realm of martial arts at this age is enough to be called a genius.

Yuan Wujiang smiled, a hint of relief flashed in his cloudy eyes: "With your talent, you should have stepped onto a broader stage, but I have been imprisoning you by my side, do you blame me?"

The dark dragon was slightly stunned, and then shook his head and said: "Your Majesty has a life-saving grace for the minister, and he has poured a lot of effort into the minister. ”

Yuan Wujiang's body trembled slightly, but he didn't turn back after all, but continued to look at the sunset that was about to set.

He said with sadness in his voice: "Dark Dragon, do you think that I, the emperor, am quite mediocre?"

"If I don't invade the Great Zhou, more than half of the soldiers of the Xianglong Kingdom will not be killed. ”

"If I hadn't invaded the Great Zhou, the royal family of the Xianglong Kingdom would not have faced such a dilemma. ”

"If I ......"

"Your Majesty is not wrong, the ministers understand!"

The dark dragon suddenly spoke, interrupting Yuan Wujiang's words with some emotion.

Maybe it was a bit rebellious to interrupt the emperor's words, but the dark dragon couldn't help but speak.

"Your Majesty!"

The dark dragon knelt on one knee, and then said, "The minister knows that the major families in the kingdom have jointly requested the Luo family, hoping that the Xianglong Kingdom can change the dynasty. ”

"The only way to solve this deadlock is to get more places for the dynasty to meet the martial arts, and then fight for the genius of the royal family to have the greatest chance to enter the super power, so as to keep the royal family. ”

The dark dragon who has been following Yuan Wujiang may be the person who knows him in the world.

He understands everything Yuan Wujiang has done.

Yuan Wujiang was not at all surprised by the dark dragon's purpose of breaking his own, he finally turned around and walked to the dragon chair, and then sat down.

Outside the palace, night had fallen completely.

The dim light swayed in the hall, just like Yuan Wujiang, whose life had reached its twilight years, could be extinguished at any time.

At this moment, Yuan Wujiang's face was joyless and sad, and he said calmly: "No matter what my purpose is, but in the matter of using Deng Yi'an, I was wrong after all." ”

"It seems that it's time for this world to be handed over to you young people, just like the little emperor of the Great Zhou, who is so outstanding at such a young age, it's really amazing. ”

Speaking of Xiao Chen, even Yuan Wujiang, who was an opponent, couldn't help but show a hint of admiration.

The dark dragon nodded and said, "He is indeed extraordinary!"

At this time, Yuan Wujiang suddenly took out a worn-out parchment roll from the storage ring.

The dark dragon glanced at it curiously, but didn't ask what it was.

Yuan Wujiang stretched out his hand and handed the parchment scroll to the dark dragon, and then asked, "Dark dragon, do you know what this is?"

The dark dragon shook his head and said, "I don't know!"

Yuan Wujiang said with a straight face: "This is a treasure map, and there is a big secret hidden in it. ”

The big secret?

Dark Dragon was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Since the matter is very important, please don't tell Weichen Your Majesty." ”

Yuan Wujiang waved his hand and said, "Don't refuse first, I must give you this parchment roll." ”

"You have also seen the situation in the Xianglong Kingdom, at most half a year, the Yuan family will be finished. ”

"I have two sons, the talented Yuan Liang has died in the Great Zhou, and there is only one unsuccessful Yuan Xiao, who is left with this kind of thing, which is harmful to him. ”

"Therefore, you are the most suitable heir to this treasure, and you must not refuse. ”

The dark dragon tightened the parchment roll in his hand, and his eyes turned slightly red.

He could feel that Yuan Wujiang was explaining the aftermath.

Yuan Wujiang didn't see the change in the dark dragon's face, and said to himself: "This parchment scroll is divided into five sheets, and only by gathering all five can you find the treasure hidden in it, otherwise even if it is just missing one of them, it is no different from waste paper." ”

"I've spent a lot of my life looking for the whereabouts of the other parchment rolls, and now I have some clues, three of them are located outside the Northern Regions, and the last one is on Xiao Chen's body. ”

"Some time ago, the Lingyun Commercial House of the Great Zhou held an auction, and a person named Shangguan Longxing auctioned a parchment scroll. ”

The dark dragon glanced at Yuan Wujiang in surprise, he didn't expect Yuan Wujiang, who had never left the Xianglong Kingdom, to know the whereabouts of this parchment scroll so well.

Yuan Wujiang smiled and said, "Don't be curious, although I have never left the kingdom, I have spent a lot of money for this parchment scroll. ”

After speaking, he suddenly stood up, looked at the dark dragon with serious eyes and said: "Dark dragon, from today on, you are not a person from the Xianglong Kingdom, and in the future, your name will be called Long Xun, I hope you can collect all the parchment scrolls as soon as possible." ”
