The end of the year is approaching, and the cold wind is howling.

Every household is lit up, adding a bit of warmth to this slightly bleak Baishui County.

Outside the city, a group of people waited for brocade robes and jade belts, standing outside the city gate against the cold wind.

In the distance, flags can be seen fluttering in the wind, and the ground is slightly rumbling with the sound of wheels and horses' hooves.

"It's coming!"

Everyone looked solemn and straightened their clothes that were slightly messy by the wind.

Soon, the group that had come from afar came to the city gates.

"The ministers welcome the arrival of the Fourth Highness and the Seventh Highness!"

The county guard Li Mubai and the following officials walked forward quickly and bowed in unison.

"Ladies and gentlemen, no need to be polite!"

Baili Lan evil sword eyebrows starry eyes, riding a white horse, a tiger skin can hardly hide its majestic body, gently raised palms, ten fingers slender, looking forward to it, there is a momentum of looking at the world. There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, but this smile had a flash of indifference and alienation, which was so fast that it was not easy to notice.

And Bai Li Lan poppy black and vertical hair, oblique flying Ying Ting sword eyebrows, slender and containing sharp black eyes, thin and light lips, angular outline, slender and tall but not rough figure, although he lost a little in momentum, but he is not a beautiful man.

The seventh prince Baili Lan Poppy, the seventh son of the current Wubaili Emperor Baili Muyuan, is also one of the most outstanding geniuses in the kingdom.

At the age of eight, he practiced martial arts, at the age of ten he could kill a tiger with his bare hands, at the age of fifteen he was able to fly the eaves and walk the wall, and now he is in his early twenties.

You must know that the top masters, on this continent, are all famous people, even if they are the masters of a country in the Hundred Mile Kingdom, they should treat such strongmen with courtesy.

As the seventh son of the lord of the Hundred Miles Kingdom, his reputation is even higher than that of his brother, that is, the royal brothers of the kingdom.

This fame is due to his amazing talent and his courage and skill.

At the age of eighteen, Bai Li Lan Poppy joined the kingdom's army with the strength of a master, and in a coincidence of fate, he went deep behind enemy lines to carry out strategic containment, and then led a hundred dead soldiers to fight a bloody road from tens of thousands of enemy troops.

It is precisely because of the excellent completion of this mission that Berry Poppy was resourceful and daring to take responsibility, successfully defusing the enemy's tactics, repelling the enemy army, and making him dare not invade again.

Under the great joy of the dragon's heart, he rewarded all the soldiers greatly.

But I don't want this to be the case behind my back, Bai Lilan Poppy colluded with the enemy army, made a promise of five years, and made a devil's deal, just to confuse everyone, win over the hearts of the army, and gain the emperor's trust. Now, two years have passed......

Baili Lanevil is famous all over the world because of his literary brilliance. Who in the world does not know the literary talents of the four princes of Baili, who is literate at the age of three, writes at the age of five, can compose poems at the age of nine, and reads all over the national policy at the age of fifteen.

One article and one martial arts, one black and one white, but it has also formed a beautiful landscape in the government and the opposition.

This time, the two highnesses came to the capital to prepare for the martial arts conference and select the most important generals for the future defense of the country.

Li Mubai has a neutral attitude towards the two Highnesses in front of him, although he prefers the Seventh Highness, because the Hundred Mile Continent is still a martial world, and he only worships the powerful. However, the current crown prince is cowardly and incompetent, and the other princes have their own merits, after all, who the emperor wants to be the heir, the situation is still unclear, and if you can not offend, it is better to try to cause as little trouble as possible.

Dali Temple.

Baili Lanevil took the lead and led the crowd into it.

At the moment, he was not polite, and sat straight on the main seat, according to the rank, he was bigger than Bai Li Lan Poppy, and Bai Li Lan Poppy then sat in the second place.

"All the ministers sit down!"

Bai Li Lanye waved his hand and motioned to the officials who followed closely behind.

"Your Highness!"

Everyone thanked them, and they were no longer polite at the moment.

"Zhongqing's family, this year has come, how are the people's lives?"

Seeing that everyone was seated, Baili Lanevil stopped talking nonsense and went straight to the topic.

"Back to His Royal Highness, thanks to the emperor's blessings, this year is a good year, the people have enough food and clothing, live and work in peace and contentment, it is the most bumper harvest since my Baishui County."

The county guard Li Mubai stood up and bowed.

"So good! Although I have been in the country for hundreds of years, the small border countries are eyeing each other, and there is a great intention of aggression, and the ministers also hope to be able to make great efforts to govern the country and give the people a peaceful life, while we and other civil and military generals will strive to ensure the stability of the people. Bai Lilan said to the people sitting below.

"What the Fourth Emperor Brother said is extremely true. The ministers should understand that although the people are weak, they are the foundation of our kingdom, and with their selfless dedication, there will be more ambitious men to serve the country and open up the territory. Bai Li Lan Poppy echoed, in front of these officials, maintaining his compassion and empathy.

"The Fourth Highness and the Seventh Highness are benevolent, and the ministers should do their best to serve the people and benefit the people."

All the officials stood up in unison and said in unison.

"It's good that you understand! Don't be polite, you can bring well-being to the people, and truly sympathize with the people's livelihood, I didn't say it in vain. Baili Lanye sighed softly, benefiting the people, this is easy to say, but it is not so simple to do.

On the mainland, there are many kingdoms, the empire also wants to manage but has no heart, and it is common for the people to be displaced, and even more, whenever a war breaks out, mourning is everywhere.

Seeing Baili Lanxie's expression, all the officials were angry one by one and did not dare to speak out.

"What do you think of this year's alliance leader's conference?"

"Back to Your Highness, the preparations for this year's Alliance Leader Conference have already been prepared, just wait for Your Highness to come and investigate!"

Hearing that Li Mubai had turned the topic to the martial arts alliance leader's meeting, the officials couldn't help but perk up.

The so-called conference is a selection meeting for the personal strength of all officialdom in the territory at the end of every three years.

Every person of the right age can take this opportunity to show their strength to the local martial arts people, the first in martial arts, can obtain the position of the leader of the alliance, respond to the entire rivers and lakes, while other martial arts strong people are not willing, can also be included by the imperial court, so as to gain the attention of the ruler, get rewards, and even rise to the top, no longer live a life of slavery.

In the hundred-mile continent, the people are fierce, martial arts, and between countries, there are constant wars, and the strength of individuals often determines their social status and living standards.

Being able to stand out from the assembly, even the worst to join the kingdom's army, can bring good material living conditions to the family, which is far superior to the life of the Li people who work at sunrise and rest at sunset.
