Yang Ke pulled Deng Kai out of the Spirit Palace, and only after stepping out of the enveloped range of Ji Le's power did he feel a little relieved.

He asked Deng Kai: "What do you think about the national spirit?"

"I don't see anything for the time being. Maybe it's a calm personality, or maybe it's just an appearance, but I'm not willing to entrust my fate to the spirit of the country. The young man wrapped his hands behind his back and hugged his head, and walked back slowly beside Yang Ke.

"When the spirit of the country dies, the kingdom disappears. I can't bear this kind of thing. Moreover, if he threatens us with this characteristic of his own, what will we do? Why should the kingdom of my ancestors who have fought for a hundred years honor a national spirit that has just been born for a long time?"

"What's more, after the birth of the general national spirit, they are raised by the monarch, and they slowly shape their personality from the ignorant stage, and they have a strong affection for the Xia Kingdom. As for him...... I don't think he's a serious national spirit. ”

In the final analysis, Ji Le became a national spirit halfway, and his origin was unclear, which made many people suspicious.

Suddenly, Deng Kai trotted in front of Yang Ke, turned around and said to Yang Ke with a serious expression: "Brother Yang, this is not only me, but also the opinion of many soldiers on the side. We are not willing to put our lives on an ethereal national spirit. The Xia Kingdom does not need the spirit of the country, this is the general policy set by the Lie Gong back then. ”

The spirit of the nation has a natural affinity for the people. After getting along, they will gradually maintain their kindness. Most of the people in Jiugong City are like this, and they are happy to see Ji Le's existence. After all, Ji Le helped Jiugong City a lot.

But outside the Nine Palaces City, the generals who were guarding in various places didn't see it that way. Their senses for the spirit of the nation are not good. If Xun An hadn't been rescued by Ji Le and owed favors, I'm afraid his attitude would not have been much better.

After all, the news they got was all a few words from Jiugong City. One action of the national spirit today, another action tomorrow. In the end, who is the monarch and who is the master, this is a little confusing.

"If only he was a mascot. But judging from the actions and spirit of His Royal Highness the National Spirit, it is obvious that he is not a lord who is willing to be lonely. Here, I'll just come back to take a look, but the others ......" The young man shrugged his shoulders and said, "My uncles and uncles are not as good at talking as I am. ”

Yang Ke furrowed his brows, hearing the hint in the young man's words.

Splitting the Xia Kingdom, and then starting from scratch to annex it, I am afraid that it is not only the intention of Jianjie alone, but also the intention of everyone in the border stage. Moreover, people are better at this matter.

As long as people make an independent scene, or merge into the surrounding small countries first, and then carry out the strategy of seizing the country, the Xia Kingdom will definitely face an internal collapse.

"If I can't get to this point, I will pass on a message to appease them. Although Ji Le's origin is unknown, he can descend from his homeland, which shows that he is indeed our people. Maybe the gods of our homeland have deliberately sent messengers to see our hardships?"

"The age of savage is full of dangers, and there can be no more internal disputes among us. ”

Pulling a hair and moving the whole body, Yang Ke will definitely not allow Xia Guo to face civil strife at this moment.

"In a few days, I'm going to encircle and suppress Nanyu Mountain. This is a big deal, Nanyu Mountain is uneven, and I am always uneasy in my heart. Last year, I also corresponded to you and said that I had a dream. I dreamed that the black mist emerging from Nanyu Mountain covered the Xia Kingdom and completely destroyed the Nine Palace City. ”

It's so simple and clear, without the need to interpret dreams, Yang Ke himself understands - this is the demigod's perception of the danger of the future.

Nan Yu Shan is too much of a threat to the Xia Kingdom, and even wants to destroy the entire Nine Palace City in the future, so it must be destroyed as soon as possible.

"I understand, so when Brother Yang goes out, I will temporarily appease the people on the sidelines. However, our attitude must be taken seriously. It is true that the spirit of the nation is not what we want to exist. ”

I don't want to!

Yang Ke sighed in his heart, the Yang family's multi-generational plan never intended to create a national spirit. Their plan was to gather the faith of the people, take the path of the Holy Emperor, and become a Holy Emperor like the Three Emperors and Five Emperors.

The appearance of the national spirit completely disrupted Xia Guo's plan. Now the impact is slowly becoming apparent, and the resistance of the sidestage is only one microcosm.

"Let's see. I hope all the best. ”

Deng Kai was speechless and silently followed him for a while.

Suddenly, he jumped on Yang Ke's back and hugged Yang Ke's neck: "Speaking of which, I haven't competed with Brother Yang for a long time. This time, let's go to the martial arts arena and have a good fight. ”

"Okay, I'll seal the divine power and accompany you to a good fight. ”

"No, this time I have to fight with Yang Ke's peak strength. I've been doing penance for three years on the sidelines, and I must win this time!"

Yang Ke carried Deng Kai on his back, and under the sun, the shadows of the two gradually merged together.

But compared to these two brothers, friends and brothers, the chickens and dogs in the Yongle Hall jumped. The young man chased Ji Le for a long time, and only when he saw that Ji Le was out of order and a little out of breath, he stopped.

After striking the hilt of the Qinglu sword three times on the top of Ji Le's head, the young man put away the sword.

"I'll teach you a lesson first, and see if you dare in the future!"

Is this the end? Emperor Shi was a little disappointed. And that's the end of it?

He put away his pen, wiped the juice from the corner of his mouth, and watched the two of them sit down again.

Xi Shi waved a fan for Ji Le on the side to cool off, and His Royal Highness Guoling took off his coat, leaving only a long robe inside: "I'll come by myself!" He took the fan from Xi Shi's hand and fanned himself.

But after a while, he looked at the picture of the lady on the fan, and frowned: "The fan is just for my daughter's home use, but I don't take advantage of it." ”

The fan, also known as the silk palace fan. It is named because the fan is often silk, and it has been widely loved in ancient times. There is a poem in the Western Han Dynasty that praises: "The new crack Qi Su is as clean as frost and snow." Cut into a acacia fan, like a bright moon. ”

In the Spirit Palace, it can be said that the witches are all in hand. Even the women who have just arrived will put on their skirts and pick up a fan to dress up and decorate. Sometimes, Ji Le would help these shrine maidens draw and flirt on the fan.

However, Ji Le himself has no feelings for the fan, he prefers to use a folding fan with a large opening and closing.

"Old man, can you ask the Nonggong to help me build a folding fan? I can solve the landscape painting by myself, and let them prepare a fan bone for me." ”

"Then why send the peasant palace? Go back and find a blank bamboo slip and tear it down to make a wooden folding fan. It is written on the top and then the heaven and the earth, how convenient it is. ”

"That's right. Then it's bothering the old man. After Ji Le finished speaking, he asked the young man and Emperor Shi: "What do you think of Deng Kai who I saw just now?"

Cangjie seemed to be smiling, and looked at the young man opposite: "The young man is angry, Xiao is like a hussar." ”

"Why is it like me, how can I be so stupid, the topic is stupid and was taken away by Ji Le. "The young man is very dissatisfied, his little fan brother is actually angry at himself? Sure enough, it's all Ji Le's fault!

"The old man doesn't have any ideas about his name?"

"Your Highness is referring to the 'Jianjie'......? Maybe it's a coincidence? After all, the era when the ancestors traveled through should not have set these up. ”

"But it's a coincidence. ”

"Both, please be clear. I don't understand Miss Yiguang. ”

Shi Huang grinned, stroked his beard and said, "Jianjie, Hulie, Ningyuan, and Yingyang were all names of some miscellaneous generals in the late Han Dynasty. However, these words contain beautiful meanings, which can be regarded as the expectations of the ancestors for these descendants. ”

After all, when the ancestors crossed, Emperor Han Ling was not dead.

"That's right, the name of the general—" Ji Le looked at the young man: "What I care more about is whether there will be a person with the word 'hussar'?"

Bang –

The young man silently took the bamboo slip and struck it on the top of Ji Le's head. However, he returned to his seat and continued to practice calligraphy.

"I'm not talking nonsense, think about it. Suppose there is a person in Xia Guo who worships Huo Quai. His family named him Zhang Huqi, Li Huqi or something. It's not impossible. You can't stop people from choosing names, right? I suspect that Deng Kai's favorite word may be 'hussar'. ”

"I don't care what other people's names say, but when you say this in front of me, you're looking for a beating. Come on, come on, if you don't think you have played enough today, I can accompany you to practice again. ”

"Excuse me. Ji Le understood at this moment that the swordsmanship he had just learned was not a young opponent. At least wait until you practice for three or five years before you can beat him.

Emperor Shi: "Your Highness asked me about the two of you about Deng Kai's senses, what about Your Highness?"

"That's good. This kid is very good. Ji Le smiled and said, "I like this kid a lot, I can see the shadow of others from him." ”

The young man raised his sword eyebrows, snorted lightly, and was about to attack again.

"Don't worry, it's not you. Ji Le said: "Don't be so narcissistic." I saw the past me in him. ”

"You?"

"yes, my past me. An ordinary person who works hard. Ji Le's eyes passed through the palace and saw Deng Kai who was competing with Yang Ke in the martial arts arena.

Under Yang Ke's divine power, Deng Kai worked hard to support him, gritted his teeth and did not admit defeat.

Ji Le sighed with emotion: "It's really not easy for an ordinary person to work hard to get to this point." ”

"Ordinary people?" the young man sneered, "Do you have any misunderstanding about 'ordinary people'?"

"Of course, in front of Yang Ke, what is he not an ordinary person? Without Yang Ke's innate divine power, he can only catch up with his acquired efforts, and this kind of suffering is not something that ordinary people can understand. ”

"The reason why Yang Ke looks at Deng Kai differently should also be due to this, right?"

In the martial arts arena, Yang Ke once again forced Deng Kai's attack back.

"Come again!" Deng Kai fell to the ground with a disgraced face, got up again, and used his tempered qi to rush towards Yang Ke again.

Yang Ke said while discussing with him: "At present, there is a martial soul technique in the city, you can try to study it." By the way, it's the young man from the Yongle Hall just now. ”

"He, is he very good at martial arts?"

"It's ok. Wuding ...... It could be Liuding. ”

"Then go back and look for him, now fight Brother Yang first! Today, I must win a game!"

From childhood to adulthood, the two competed in a total of 1,352 rounds, of which Yang Ke used his divine power to fight 300 battles. In these 300 rounds, Deng Kai had no chance of winning.

However, Deng Kai was never discouraged. This is what Yang Ke likes most about Deng Kai.

It is true that among the brothers Liu Yingyang, Xun Ningyuan, and Deng Jianjie who grew up together, Deng Kai is the youngest. But Yang Ke has the greatest expectations for Deng Kai, because he is the only person who is willing to be an opponent with him in the past ten years.

After more than ten years of getting along, in the face of Yang Ke's divine power, Liu Sheng and Xun An have already acquiesced that they will not be able to catch up with Yang Ke in their lives, and they know that Yang Ke's strength is far better than their own.

Therefore, they chose to follow behind Yang Ke and revitalize the Xia Kingdom with him.

Therefore, with Liu Sheng and Xun An, Yang Ke can feel a gap between each other in addition to the deep friendship.

It was the moat of man and God.

With them, Liu Sheng and Xun An's various strategies planned from the perspective of mortals, in Yang Ke's eyes, they can easily solve them with divine power.

Every in-depth cooperation has made Yang Ke more clearly aware that he is a natural demigod. It has a lifespan of hundreds of years or more. His divine power is strong enough to destroy a country by himself.

Although Liu Sheng and Xun An cared about him very much, they couldn't get rid of his loneliness.

Invincible in the world, Yang Ke didn't dare to be so arrogant. But in the Xia Kingdom, no one can beat him.

However, Deng Kai is different, Deng Kai knows that he does not have Yang Ke's natural divine power, but he is still unwilling to admit defeat. Every time I go back to the city, I have to have a good fight with Yang Ke.

This kind of unyielding and persistent youth is enough to make Ji Le look sideways. It is also the existence of Deng Kai that allows Yang Ke to be lonely, not really give up the human side, and completely turn into a god.

Seeing that the young man was challenging himself day by day, Yang Ke had a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Come again!" Golden-red flames erupted from his hands, and the aura of divine power slowly overflowed.

"Okay!" Deng Kai took out his weapon, which was a silver spear, a magic spear made by him in imitation of his idol Huo Quzhi. The spear was infused with Gang Qi and burst into three feet of white light.

"Brother Yang, this is the marksmanship I studied on the sidestage. Feng Xiang——" The white light at the tip of the spear condensed at one point, and a phoenix with wings spread rose vividly and rushed towards Yang Ke.

Yang Ke clasped his hands together in front of his chest, and the crimson golden flames turned into a wall of fire to meet the white phoenix in the sky......
