I didn't know what to think, so I slowly wrote the words 'royal road' on the paper. At this time, I couldn't help but cough again, and it took half a day to stop.

It was night, the eldest prince, the second prince, the third prince, the fourth prince, the fifth prince, the eighth prince, and the tenth prince each became princes.

Each gave a divine object, the eldest prince rewarded the dragon tongue bow, the second prince gave the divine power musket, the third prince gave the heavenly dragon halberd, the fourth prince gave a Chixiao sword, the fifth prince gave the feather book, the eighth prince gave the sky horse, and the tenth prince gave a painting called Dahao Mountains and Rivers......

Half a month later, the emperor of the imperial capital was critically ill, but the four princes who were far away from the imperial capital did not get any news.

The Ten Princes of the Dragon Collapse looked at the emperor with a withered face!

Two months ago, the emperor was a god high in the world, but now it is......

In the past two months, batches of people in the imperial capital have been secretly executed, and a large part of them are the Danshi that the emperor originally relied on very much...

"Emperor, now that my health is getting worse, I'm afraid time is running out. Chongzuo said weakly, and after speaking, he coughed up again and spit out a mouthful of blood. It took a long time to breathe and calm down.

"No, Emperor, you will definitely be auspicious...... "Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the Emperor

"Don't call the emperor, call the father!"

"Yes! Father...... Father ...... "The Ten Princes have long been crying

"Emperor, you have always been on good terms with several princes, who do you think among your many brothers is worthy of the great responsibility of the empire?" Chongzuo said with a hint of anger, but his vision was still a little sharp.

"Father...... Many of Erchen's brothers are ambitious and can take on great responsibilities. The Ten Princes said cautiously

"Now, Bendi ...... Some of my brothers are kings outside, and now many princes have become kings, and until today, the successor prince of the empire has not yet been decided, and I really can't sleep......"

"Father......" The ten princes couldn't cry anymore.

"I'm tired, you can go back first......"

When the person had left, Chongzuo said to himself: "The emperor's family has no family affection, no matter who can successfully take over the throne in this complicated environment, it will not disappoint me......"

"Maybe it was really too tight before, now it's time for them to show themselves, among the many princes, only the fourth prince is the most forbearing, the eighth prince is the best, the eldest prince and the second prince have the most extensive roots, but the ten princes are the most incomprehensible...... Now let them fight, if they can win among these people, they must also be able to deter the disobedient people who live in the empire......"

The Emperor's tired eyes were wide open, and he wanted to see what he ruled, but now everything was so far away.

As a great king, Chongzuo's last hope was to have a chance to fight on the battlefield, and Chongzuo coughed again when he thought of this.

The coughed up blood brought Chongzuo back to reality again.

Do you really want to take this so-called pill refined by Gu Dan Fang...... Chongzuo's hand couldn't help but shake!

"In today's internal and external troubles, the emperor is seriously ill, and several imperial brothers are guarding the Quartet in other places, maybe it is my opportunity......"

The Ten Princes changed their sad appearance just now, and they were thinking about the possibility of their emperor in their hearts.

Although several imperial brothers are now on their own side, they can't completely take one side as their own, and some of them are only loyal to the emperor's faction, which is the object of their own collection.

There was no forbidden army that the prince dared to make friends with before, but now there are people who secretly make friends, and after a period of time, it seems that the emperor has also known about this matter, but he has not stopped it......

Approaching the cold winter, it is a dangerous period for the Luo Yun Empire to invade the empire and grab food, but the atmosphere in the imperial capital is unusually weird......

Jiujiang County, in the market town of a certain village, Lu Fan and his party walked slowly, and now Lu Fan has inspected the entire Jiujiang County, and Lu Fan has also gone to the county seat of Jiujiang County to report on his work.

"It seems that this time the money is still missing......

"Well, yes, you didn't see those adults in Jiujiang County, the nose is not the nose and the eyes are not the eyes of our young master, and our young master is also a county-level imperial official like them."

“......”

Lu Fan did not say anything about Chunyun, Qiu Tan and his soldiers, not everyone was afraid to see themselves because there were too few 'meeting gifts' for the first time, and there was always a dispute between friends in the officialdom.

It is not a camp of forces, it is inevitable that there will be some bumps, the southwest territory of this empire, not only has the territory of two Fan kings, but also the human race is extremely large, the forces of all parties are complicated, and the major princes have forces here.

The four princes, whose power had always been very weak before, only showed their power in the territory after the emperor became unwell, but they were all within the territory under their own management, but there were many forces in the camp of other princes.

With the current situation, it can be said that the four princes are the most powerful among the several princes outside......

"Today's empire can also be said to be in its heyday, although there have been many natural disasters in recent years, but in this southwest border fortress, the people are also well-fed, but I don't know how long such a prosperous atmosphere can last......" Lu Fan thought to himself as he looked at the hawkers on the street

"Now that we've just finished inspecting all the prefectures in Jiujiang County, it's time to set off for home. ”

"It's time to go back, it's been three months since I came out, but I want to patrol other places again. In this way, Chunyun, you go back with the team first, and bring back the filial products of various places along the way, and the feather wolf will accompany you, so I can rest assured. I'll only be a few days after you go back at most," Lu Fan looked at Chunyun and thought about it and decided

"But... But... I~" Chun Yun wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Lu Fan's eyes

"That... Young Master, I'll follow you this time!" Qiu Tan asked

"Hmm~"

After hearing the clear answer, Qiu Tan turned around and made a grimace at Chunyun on the side, it was rare to see this kind of childish ghost trick on their faces that were already over 20 years old, looking at Chunyun who deliberately puffed out her mouth on the side, Lu Fan couldn't help but be happy......

Chunyun has left a few days ahead of schedule with his subordinates, and it is estimated that he should return to Qinggang Mansion in a few days.

That's it, in officialdom, petty officials always pay homage to big officials. Lu Fan respects his superiors, and naturally there will be subordinates who want him to be filial to his superiors!

The mountain path is murmuring, the birds in the mountains are constantly chirping, looking at the birds in the trees, when I first went to Cloud City Academy with my father, I was chased by the wind crows for several miles. And the strange birds you saw at the Academy.

Such a remote place, deep in the mountains and old forests, inaccessible to people, and a place where wild beasts gather, but it is also the most beautiful place.

The tall peaks are shining in the sun, the mountains are lush below the mountainside, and the snow-white above the mountainside are dazzling and charming under the scorching sun, like a charming fairyland............

The place with the most beasts in the empire is in the southern frontier, and it is also the most complicated, it just so happened that Lu Fan's hometown was adjacent to the other end of the forbidden area of the Warcraft Forest, and the Warcraft Forest is a natural imperial barrier, extending beyond the territory of the empire, but it does not belong to any country.

It is said that no one knows how big it is in the Warcraft Forest, and many cultivators have established sects here, and there are many sects in it, including people of all races.

"Don't go deeper, let's go back quickly along the periphery of the mountain range, so as not to make any more extraneous branches, and now it's time to go back for the New Year." ”

"Well, I bought so many gadgets along the way, and I went back to give them to the young masters......" Qiu Tan said happily

"How can that ......?"

"Young master, you didn't prepare gifts for them yourself, right?" Qiu Tan asked with a happy smile

Lu Fan smiled a little awkwardly and rode forward.

"It's okay, young master~ I can give it to you, don't ride so fast......"

At this time, I only heard a few 'sighs', I don't know where to shoot a few crossbow arrows, two accompanying subordinates, both hit the heart arrow feather through the chest, bringing out a series of blood beads, the mouth opened, fell off the horse and died immediately.

Hearing the sound of the crossbow arrow breaking through the air, the crossbow arrow was not close, a white light flashed around Lu Fan's body, and after a 'ding' sound of the arrow feathers, they all fell to the ground, and there was a sudden shaking, and the wildebeest that had been shot into a hedgehog under his crotch finally couldn't support it anymore and fell to the ground with a bang.

Lu Fan jumped and hid behind a big tree, the accompanying soldiers had all died violently, and Qiu Tan also fell off his horse.

I used to have some kung fu foundation, but the speed of the crossbow arrow was too fast, although I didn't die on the spot, I still couldn't avoid it, Qiu Tan looked down at the crossbow arrow on his chest, and the blood stained a large area red, and he could hear his heartbeat.

The body was like grass wool, and it fell to the ground...

His face became more and more defeated, he felt that his heartbeat was getting slower and slower, he had difficulty breathing, and he was holding the gadgets he bought, and it seemed that he had no chance to hand them over to Lu Li and a few of them in person......

The eyelids are getting heavier and heavier, and after leaving the imperial capital for so many years, I want to try the young master's picnic craft again......

The young master has liked you for so many years, do you know? I have never had the courage to show my heart to the young master...... If it weren't for the status of a lowly person, maybe ......

I don't have a chance to see Yun Yun anymore, and I can't accompany her in the future, she has to learn to live the rest alone......

Tears have blurred the eyes, although they did not flow out of the sockets, but they were extremely sad and had a lot of wishes that I didn't have time to think about......

I really want to continue to see the young master practicing swords...... I want to ...... I want to ......

His hands and feet gradually became cold, and there was a pool of blood on the ground on his chest, Qiu Tan didn't think about anything anymore, he just stared at the figure of the young master in the distance with his eyes on the ground, as if he wanted to keep the figure of the young master in his heart forever.

But in the blurred tear eyes, he couldn't see the young master's appearance clearly, and he blinked hard and tears finally flowed out of the corners of his eyes, and the blurred figure became clear......

In the distance, the young master's surroundings were surrounded by three monsters in black armor, Qiu Tan wanted to speak, but he was afraid of distracting the young master's attention, opened his mouth, blood gushed out of his throat, and finally just said without making a sound: "I ......"

But he still couldn't say the last word in the end, his life stopped forever at that moment, and the divine light in Qiu Tan's eyes gradually disappeared...... Until the last moment, his eyes were still looking at the young master!

Just now, he was still showing the vitality of life, and he was happy, but in just a few dozen breaths, the life passed silently, so that Lu Fan didn't notice it until the moment he died.

At the moment when Lu Fan fell off the wildebeest, he also glanced back at Qiu Tan and found that she had given herself a reassuring gentle smile.

It's just that her beautiful face has been stained with scarlet blood, and the blood on her chest is like a blood-colored rose...

Just when he was surrounded by three black-armored monsters, he suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart, but in the face of three masters with unknown strength, he didn't dare to take it lightly, and a rain of arrows roared indiscriminately, making a chirping sound.

With his innate true qi, the arrow feathers couldn't get close to him, and they fell to the outside one after another, while the three people next to him, the arrow feathers were only on the armor, making a clanging sound, and they didn't even hurt their fur.
