There are many countries in the War Spirit Continent, among which the Qinglong Country is the strongest, to the east of the Qinglong Country is the Star Dragon Country and the Topaz Country, and the Chaoyang Kingdom and other small countries, and to the east of the Chaoyang Country is the Green Abyss Country, which is no less powerful than the Qinglong Country.

In the west of the Qinglong country is the continuous life-killing forest, it is connected to the sea in the south, in the middle of a narrow ancient road, there is an abandoned pass, this pass is called the life-killing pass, it is the product of the reconciliation truce between the Qinglong country and the Hu Chi country after the perennial war, in order to show generosity, the Qinglong country does not station a large number of soldiers here, only the officers and soldiers who defend the city. And Hu Chi withdrew from his own country, and a trade market between the two countries gradually formed here, becoming a mixed state of dragons and snakes. Because it is in a sensitive area, criminals, mercenaries, merchants, etc. from many countries gather here, and later a town gradually formed here, and it is possible to lose your life at any time in this city, so the people here call this city the city of death, and over time, the city of death is the emperor of the Qinglong Kingdom who also agrees with this name.

All the officials of the Qinglong Kingdom are reluctant to live and manage here, for fear that if they manage it well, the saint will be happy, and it will be miserable if a holy decree orders him to stay for a long time. Deadly City is not suitable for long-term management.

If one day the string of which emperor of the Qinglong Kingdom and the Hu Chi Kingdom is not happy, and the fight starts again, then this place will become the focus of the battlefield again, the ashes of the war. There are also a lot of strange people here, and these people are not easy to manage. Maybe you accidentally control someone or offend someone, and that person is very bullish, he doesn't dare to do anything during the day, then at night, drink a little wine, strengthen a little courage, come in the middle of the night and cut off the head again, it will be a loss, such things have happened many times.

King Long Xingtian sat on the dragon chair, he had a headache, another official was killed, the officials in the court talked about the city of death like a beast, and avoided it, and Long Xingtian was also true that he couldn't send people anymore, arrange one to die, or resign and don't do it, there has been no good way to solve the problem of this city of death.

"Your Majesty, the fifth princess is here. The manager reminded in a whisper.

"Oh. Long Xingtian smiled, he raised his head and looked outside the door of the main hall.

A gust of fragrant wind suddenly came, and a girl wearing a narrow dress with silver pale pink, with a beautiful face and extremely beautiful, hired Tingting to walk in front of her.

"Father, is there any news about that matter?"

The fifth princess Long Yu'er walked to Long Xingtian's side as she spoke, raised her jade finger and gently kneaded it on Long Xingtian's shoulder, and from this small movement, it could be seen that the fifth princess was deeply favored by her father.

Long Xingtian smiled bitterly, the matter of the Death City was enough to give him a headache, and Xu Ren's matter also made him upset, because he still had no eyebrows.

"Luo Tian hasn't appeared yet, I only know that Xu Ren has left the battlefield, and the specific details are not clear, but we can't make any moves yet. Closing his eyes, Long Xingtian whispered to his favorite daughter behind him.

"What happened to Luo Tian? no one knows?" asked Long Yu'er.

Long Xingtian said helplessly: "This matter requires a high degree of secrecy, so I didn't send someone to follow it, but just let the shadow investigate the situation in the barracks, so I only know that Xu Ren is gone, and everyone doesn't know where he is." ”

"Before Luo Tian appeared, we couldn't determine Xu Ren's life and death, and now we can't move around, once the matter is lost, it will not be good for the royal face. And after all, Xu Ren is the grandson of King Anping, although he can't cultivate, then he is also the grandson of King Anping, and this fact can't be changed. We can't provoke King Anping for the time being, and we don't know what he will do, in case he takes advantage of Xu Ren's problem to make trouble, it will be difficult for the royal family to do, after all, the Xu family controls most of the country's troops. ”

"Hmm. In fact, it is estimated that King Anping should also be aware of it, otherwise why didn't he report it. Long Yu'er lowered her head and pondered for a while.

Long Xingtian laughed: "That old fox, it's impossible to say that he didn't notice it, but before Xu Ren appeared or news of him came out, this King of Anping wouldn't put himself on the fire to roast." ”

"Okay, Yu'er, what you have to do now is to raise your cultivation as soon as possible, and it will be a national competition soon, followed by the selection of various factions and academies, you have to get a good ranking, maybe you are the only one in our vein who may be recalled by the family to cultivate. ”

"Got it, father, the minister is retiring. ”

"Go ahead. ”

Long Xingtian waved his hand, Long Yu'er walked out, looking at this daughter worthy of his pride, he came back to his senses and said to himself: "Let the shadow investigate, I want to know the truth as soon as possible." ”

"Yes. A dark figure flashed from behind the curtain.

There was a tense atmosphere in Xu's mansion, King Anping was very peaceful, he looked at the secret letter on the table, picked up the tea and took a sip, turned his head to look at the children standing below, saw their anxious and uneasy appearance, and sighed secretly in his heart, these people are all unable to hold their breath, if Xu Ren can cultivate, according to his mind, he will definitely be the best successor of the palace, but it is a pity that God did not bring luck to Xu Ren.

For this grandson, Lord Xu is also full of guilt, since he knows that he can't cultivate, it has been a joke among the ministers of the court, although they don't dare to laugh at Old Man Xu in front of him, but their children have not been less ridiculed and insulted when they meet Xu Ren.

This amplified joke made it difficult for the royal family to sleep, and the fifth princess was a cultivation wizard on the contrary, and she believed that she would become the pillar of the country in a few years, and she was more likely to become an emperor-level powerhouse, so her lifespan would be very long. On the other hand, the princess is beautiful and thoughtful, and is known as a wise woman by the world, and is the target of the younger generation in the imperial capital. And her fiancé is a waste who can't cultivate, so once Xu Ren dies of old age and the princess is just young, it won't delay the princess's life.

Although Ouyang Wende, the old prime minister who has been a literati scholar for generations, is very optimistic about this child, he also hinted at Ouyang Shuyun, the granddaughter who is known as a talented girl, implying that the Ouyang family doesn't care about Xu Ren's inability to cultivate.

However, there is no way to dissolve the marriage contract that the royal family wants to dissolve, because the royal family does not want to leave a bad reputation, and the royal palace never dares to propose to dissolve the marriage contract.

What the old prince never expected was that for the dignity of the royal family, Emperor Long Xingtian actually issued an edict and sent Xu Ren, who could not cultivate, to join the army as soldiers and horses to fight the war with the neighboring Flame Country.

If Xu Ren was to join the army and give advice, he would definitely be competent, but the general Wang Linfei actually sent him a team of soldiers and horses to let him participate in the battle alone, and what the old man didn't expect was that this team of men and horses turned out to be a death battalion, a team that served as cannon fodder, which made it clear that Xu Ren could not return to the dynasty alive, and his heart was sinister.

For Long Xingtian's practice, although Prince Xu was angry, he was also helpless, as a courtier, he could not refute the emperor's will, this sense of powerlessness made the old prince feel very bad.

Since he knew that his grandson Xu Ren couldn't cultivate, although the family sought medical treatment everywhere, they still didn't find a solution, and slowly this matter was put down. Because there are many children in Xu Wangfu, Bibi is a cultivation elite, although he can't catch up with the five princesses, but he is also the best among people, so that the old prince gradually turned his energy to other children, and he ignored Xu Ren's grandson. In the end, I heard a lot of ridicule, and slowly I had a trace of disgust for my favorite grandson Xu Ren.

It is precisely because of the posture of the old prince that the children below and even the family servants are not too respectful to Xu Ren, and Xu Ren is forgotten in the remote small courtyard.

Even if it is a waste, there is also a connection between family and blood, and there is still a trace of luck in the heart of the old prince for the original emperor to let Xu Ren join the army. In case Xu Ren comes back from meritorious service, then at least he can make a big show in his civilian job and win a position.

The old prince really didn't expect Emperor Long Xingtian to be so resolute, and he didn't care about his feelings at all. That shows that the emperor has great concerns about the military power and status of the Xu family, and as long as there are concerns, then there are unstable factors and dangers. The emperor's attitude also made the old prince once again dissociate himself from his grandson's choice, although everyone seemed to be unfamiliar with it these days, and dealt with it calmly, but secretly it was difficult to sleep and eat.

"Father, if things are really difficult, don't take care of Ren'er, so that the emperor will not be able to find any handle. ”

The tall and mighty eldest son Xu Yinglong said in a deep voice, because Xu Ren is his own son, so at this time, he can only be the first to express his opinion, as for the second brother Xu Yingjie, he is a smart person, although he has ideas, but because of his own face, he will never say what he thinks in his heart. The third Xu Yingying is a fierce man with thick branches and leaves, and he always expresses his opinions as loud as a bell, but every time he speaks in a mess, and finally he is scolded by the old man and does not make a sound, and the fourth Xu Yinghu is not there now, and is stationed in Tianlong Pass, the closest pass to the Star Dragon Country.

The remaining children have no right to speak, and the children and grandchildren of these three and four generations are not as harmonious as their four brothers, and secretly gang up in order to compete for power. The eldest son Xu Tai is not here, if he can still say a few words, he is also leading the army, for the eldest son and eldest grandson of the eldest son of the eldest lineage, Xu Tai is the most optimistic future family successor of the old man and the brothers, so in general, everyone will still listen to his opinion. In fact, everyone can guess his opinion whether he is there or not, it is definitely Bao Xu Ren, and the entire palace is also Xu Tai's eyes on Xu Ren, and the friendship between the two brothers can be regarded as okay.

When the old man heard his eldest son's words, his eyes were cold, he glanced at Xu Yinglong, Xu Yinglong's tall and burly body couldn't help shrinking, and the old man snorted angrily.
