The Silver White City in the middle of the 100,000 Mountains is the seat of the Ling Clan's royal court, and is called the last pearl of the kingdom and the city of hope by the people of the Ling Clan.

The Silver White City is located on a very rare plain in the 100,000 mountains, and as its name suggests, the city is built of dense white stone. The whole city is divided into three layers from the central palace to the outermost city wall, each layer has been separated by a solid city wall, the outer two floors can be passed freely, and the innermost royal court is guarded by guards all year round, and you cannot enter at will without special communication. The Panlong River is divided into two branches in the west of the Silver White City, and merges in the east of the city, becoming the natural moat of the Silver White City. The most eye-catching building in the Silver White City is the Seven Star Pagoda built in the inner circle according to the royal palace, and the towering white tower body seems to be the last foundation of the Spirit Race's 10,000-year-old empire.

At this time, Yulong, the queen of the Spirit Clan, was listening to the report of her courtiers in a palace. The palace is not very large, and the queen sits in front of the bookcase, which is piled up with notes to be approved or approved, which should be the place where the queen deals with government affairs.

"Your Majesty, this is all that has happened to Princess Qixing's side recently, when the Eagle Guard sent a message, he said that Zhu Shi and Jiang Bai had left Yancheng, and they should be on the way back to the stream at this time." The courtier said.

"What ginger white! Since he is already married to Princess Qixing, he is the prince, and he can't be called by his name! Queen Yulong said in a deep voice.

"Yes, the minister knows his mistake!" The courtier bowed his head and said.

"Go down." Queen Yulong rubbed her eyebrows and ordered.

When the courtiers heard this, they withdrew from the palace. A moment later, another man arrived, and the maids standing on either side of the palace aisle saluted him.

"How busy are you going to be today?" The man who had just arrived asked with a smile pointing to the queen in front of him, and then sat down casually on the chair in front of the desk. The man is over middle age, but his figure is slender and straight, his face is extremely handsome, and his demeanor is gentle but free and easy.

"That's not a problem, there's been a lot going on lately. The prince of the Lion Claw Department is going to marry the princess of the Huanhu clan, what kind of gift do you think our royal court should give? The queen actually lied to the man, and then asked the man.

The man waved his hand and said, "Don't ask me about these things, you can just look at it, I just want to see you." ”

"Nianbai, do you sometimes feel very aggrieved when you marry me? You should be in charge of the Barbarian Horns, but now I can't do anything. The queen said as she looked at the man in front of her tenderly. The man who was called Nianbai by the queen was actually the queen's husband.

"Where is this going on, how many times have I told you, neither aggrieved nor regretted. Who told me to covet your beauty back then? The prince laughed.

The queen laughed as she heard this.

"I'm old now, and I'm not as beautiful as I used to be, you can regret it." The queen said with a smile.

"No, our Manjiao clan is rich in infatuated men, everything will not change if you look in one direction, you have always been as beautiful in my heart as when I first met, and who dares to say that my wife is old, not to mention Heng'er, is to stand with my sister, just like sisters." The prince feigned seriousness.

"Hehe, even if you know your eyes, if you dare to change your mind, I will carefully pick your cowhide." The queen glared, with a sense of coquettishness. A woman's mind is inscrutable, and the queen from the top to the common people all seem to be the same, one moment she is smiling, and the next moment she can turn her face and change color, but for this kind of amusement between husband and wife, it is a good remedy for the eternal relationship.

"Speaking of Heng'er, this kid is really uncomfortable." The queen joked and sighed again.

"Heng'er is the eldest sister of our three children, she has the most assertive since she was a child, she has her own plans, and what she is doing now, I think it's very good, what about marrying an outside human, don't you think the situation on the wolf side is much better than when she just passed, as long as the situation on the wolf side is solved, the problem of the shark department will naturally be solved, this is what I realized later, you should be happy to have such a discerning daughter." Prince said.

"I don't understand, it's just that there's no need to marry an outside human, where is this putting our Yu royal court, the wolf tribe is dead set on her, but what do other tribes think, it's our feud, and the majesty of the royal family is about to be ruined by her." The queen sighed and continued: "How can I pass on the throne to her in the future, it is impossible for other tribes to accept a prince from an outside human!" Forget it, I get angry when I mention it. ”

"After all, we haven't seen Heng'er's husband yet, and the one who can be seen by Heng'er is definitely not an ordinary human from the outside world, at least I heard that Jiang Boy's attainments in the way of the sword have reached the realm of a grandmaster. Heng'er chose him as her husband, perhaps because she had another deep meaning. The prince said.

"What about the kendo master, that Qi Lingfeng was their ancestor back then, but looking at the good things he did, the ancestor of our Yu clan, Princess Dusk Star, Yuluo, most of them died of sadness for him. Now the situation of the seven countries in the outside world, although chaos is rampant, but this kind of chaos has gone to a node, after the chaos there will be a great rule, the royal court military machine has asserted that within twenty years the seven countries in the outside world will be unified, and after they are unified, they should come to attack us after a few years of rest, when the time comes, Jiang Bai will not be able to learn the Qi Lingfeng of the year, not my race, his heart will be different. The Queen said.

The prince was speechless, not that he didn't have his own opinions, but the law of the spirit clan stipulates that the queen's husband cannot interfere in politics, and in the face of this iron law that has been passed down for thousands of years, he has been carefully fulfilling his duties as a husband and father, for fear that one wrong step will cross the border and cause irreparable consequences.

"Regarding Heng'er's husband, I don't know how to comfort you, it is true that what he said is wrong, there is no reason to talk about it. But love itself cannot be theorized, and when it comes, I can't think of any other way to meet it with all my heart. This may have something to do with my character, people like me can't be a great man, I was still the inheritor of the Barbarian Horn Clan, and when I saw you, I felt that my love was coming, and at that time I didn't know that you were the princess of the royal court and would inherit the throne in the future, but what if I knew, I didn't hesitate to give up the throne of the Barbarian Horn Clan, I couldn't stop it, and compared with you, everything in the world has no color at all. Heng'er is the princess of the Spirit Clan, but she is also my daughter, she is so persistent in being with Jiang Bai, I believe she is in the same mood as me. Don't blame me for being selfish, she has already chosen her lover, even if all the spirits oppose it, should she give up her lover? If I had to choose between the attitude of all ethnic groups and the happiness of my daughter, I would choose the happiness of my daughter. Even if she is hurt in the future, it is a big deal for me to comfort her and go to the negative man to fight hard, but her happiness at this moment is resolutely maintained. The prince said emotionally, obviously he loved Yuheng very much.

"According to what you say, how should the throne be inherited in the future?" The Queen said.

"It's a big deal, don't hand it over to Heng'er, we still have a concubine. I say this from the position of a father of a daughter, not of a prince who is involved in politics. The prince said solemnly.

"But we don't have such a precedent, the eldest princess is alive, and the throne can only be passed on to the eldest princess." The Queen said.

"Then we'll make an exception. Besides, don't be in a hurry now, Xiaolong, you will definitely live a long life, and there is no need to be sad in decades. The prince said.

"Jiang Bai's kid is not worry-free, he recently brought a group of human refugees from the outside world to Yancheng, if you let the other ministries know, and I don't know what gossip to spread, although rumors don't have to be feared, but it's not always a good thing to spread more, the most annoying thing is that I made that gesture before, and it is inconvenient for this kind of rumor to come forward to clear up." The queen said sorrowfully. The gesture she said was naturally to strongly oppose Yuheng Jiang Bai's marriage.

"We are in an era of turmoil and change, I am afraid that there will only be more and more such things in the future, Zhu Shi is very wise, with him watching over there, I don't think anything big will happen, you can rest assured." Prince said.

"Speaking of Zhushi, too, at the beginning, I ignored a large mess of affairs in Zhumen here, and I had to insist on going but stopped the stream, and now I still have the leisure to teach a child medical skills." The queen frowned.

"Which child, but there is another child in the stream?" The prince wondered.

So the queen told the prince about what had happened recently.

"Wei Feng! This kid may be a variable, Zhu Shi is proficient in the way of divination, and he is very accurate, since he can fancy him at the earliest, this kid must have something extraordinary, and he has become Jiang Bai's personal disciple, and he will be able to have a lot of creation in the future, I want to go more and more but stop the stream to see. The prince said.

"You want to see your granddaughter, right?" The queen smiled, "Actually, I also want to go and see, after all, he is our only eldest grandson at present, but our identity is a little embarrassing, so it's not good to go rashly." Fortunately, the Jiang Bai boy was still a little interesting, and he didn't follow their rules to let our granddaughter's surname be Jiang. ”

"You can always see it, don't worry." The prince comforted the queen.

"Speaking of Zhushi, I want to call him back before this year's spiritual sacrifice, this time it is a major sacrifice in sixty years, unlike the previous two years, which can be presided over by his disciples, and the Huanhu Department has recently given birth to an NV girl, the pupils are light white, which is consistent with the psychic described in the history books. Historically, the Huanhu clan is rich in psychic priests, psychic priests were born in response to the mandate of heaven, and they are gifted to understand the changes in the fate of heaven and earth, our spirit clan has not produced such a character for more than a thousand years, this NV baby is now on the way to the royal court, I need to be identified by the teacher, if it is really a psychic, she must follow the master to practice in the future. The queen said solemnly.

"Psychic, I also know that this is a major matter of our spirit race, and we must treat it urgently!" The prince also put on a serious face, and then said softly: "This heaven and earth, is it really going to change!" As he spoke, he couldn't help but fall into silence, his face was as calm as water, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The queen cleaned up the notes on the bookcase, and stared silently at the man who was lost in thought with one hand on her desk and the other on her cheek. They have been married for nearly thirty years, and she has to admit that he is an extremely competent husband, whenever she falls into anxiety, he can always make her feel relieved for the first time, without him, she does not feel that she can alone bear the heavy responsibility of the Spirit Kingdom on her shoulders, and he himself is an excellent person, and his views on many things are deeper than her most powerful courtiers, so she often wants to hear his opinion, but due to the restrictions of the law, he has to be on guard at all times, she understands his painstaking efforts, Compared with this country, he may care more about his family, a person like him should be more suitable to choose an ordinary wife, and then live a plain and happy life, but the woman he loves is the most special person in this kingdom, destined to have no connection with the life of ordinary spirit people, he must be living full of contradictions, his wisdom makes him this contradiction indifferent, but how much is forced in the middle, her heart is actually full of guilt for him.

"Nianbai, let's go see the Seven Star Tower." The queen put away her thoughts and said to the prince.

"Aren't you busy?" The prince replied with a smile.

"We haven't walked together for a long time, and I want to accompany you." The Queen said.

"Okay, let's go for a walk." The Prince replied.

As he spoke, the two of them got up. When the queen's maids saw that the queen and the prince were going out, they hurriedly prepared the palace lamps and walked ahead to light them and guide them.

"I don't need you to follow, just give me a lantern." The queen commanded.

Naturally, the maids no longer insisted. So the queen and the prince carried a lantern out of the palace gate and walked towards the Seven Stars Tower. Halfway through, the prince took the initiative to take the lantern......

"Nian Bai...... Don't ......, let me carry this lantern for the two of us, and at this moment, let me pretend that I am a competent wife, and you are just an ordinary spirit husband, okay? The queen said softly.

The prince looked at the queen with a smile, how he didn't know the guilt in her heart.

"Good!" The prince said.

In this way, the two of them walked side by side to the Seven Star Tower. But the guards and maids behind him were far away from a group of ......

"When I was tired of reviewing and playing in Yangzheng Palace, I often looked at this white tower from a distance at the palace gate, and I couldn't help but think about it, what was the silver and white city of our ancestors in Yizhou, and how did the seven-star tower of the silver and white city compare with this seven-star tower." The queen looked up at the white body of the Seven Star Tower, and said leisurely.

"According to the historical records, although the scale of that silver and white city is much larger than ours, the shape of the seven-star tower in that city is the same as ours." The prince laughed.

"Nianbai, do you say that you and I can go back to that silver and white city in our lifetimes?" The queen asked quietly as she turned her gaze to the Prince.

"I heard that the silver and white city is ruined, and the Yu clan only has a radius of thirty miles of land left in the city. As for whether we can go back, if there is only one Yu family in the world, we will naturally have no problem going back, but in addition to them, there are also various countries that the Yu family divided back then, I'm afraid it will be difficult. The prince said.

"Hey, now that the world is in chaos outside, if all the tribes within our spirit clan can unite and go out of the mountain, there may not be no chance to take advantage of it, it's a pity." The queen sighed.

The prince just smiled and did not answer.

"This tower is called the Seven Star Tower, the king flag of our spirit clan is also the flag of the seven star king, originally from our seven main cities, but now it is not worthy of the name, when the ancestors returned to the mountain, they did not change the seven star symbol of our spirit clan, not only to remember their own heritage, but also to let us not forget their shame, but unfortunately now there are fewer and fewer people who can understand this intention." The queen sighed again.

"Let's go back, now winter is coming, and the night is cold." Prince said.

"I'm sorry, I just said it myself, I didn't pay attention and forgot it." The queen stroked her forehead. Naturally, she pretended to be a competent wife.

"The Queen never needs to apologize! I am your husband and your people, as long as it is your decision, it should be properly implemented, this is always the first reason of the Spirit Race! When the prince heard what the queen said, he put his hands on her shoulders and stared into her eyes.

The queen did not respond to him, but there was no sadness in her eyes, but her eyes were full of determination.

The starry sky shone on the silver white city, and the silver white city under the starry sky was quiet and peaceful, like a sleeping virgin. But what kind of impact her silent thousand-year-old power will have on this world once it awakens, I'm afraid even she herself is still unclear.
