Chapter 320: It's Not What It Used To Be
When Zhao Yan returned to the palace of the Seven Princes, the palace was extremely quiet. Zhao Yan walked towards Xiao Qinglian's room, intending to discuss tomorrow's matters.
Although it was only a few days, Zhao Yan did educate Xiao Qinglian, and at this critical juncture, he corrected many shortcomings that increased the negative effect on himself. If it were a normal day, at this moment, his room would definitely be full of singing and dancing.
There was a faint light flickering in Xiao Qinglian's room, and Zhao Yan secretly thought that he should be reading the "King Tongjian" he asked him to read.
Zhao Yan was slightly relieved, asked the hill giant to stand in place, and walked towards the room with Cardan Ruobei himself.
An invisible murderous aura!
Zhao Yan didn't think much about it, sensing the direction of the murderous aura, two small fireballs flew from his palm to the roof.
Ahh
With two shouts, Xiao Qinglian hurriedly rushed out of the room, and he did hold the book in his hand. Xiao Qinglian looked at Zhao Yan suspiciously, and exclaimed, "What happened?"
Another murderous aura came!
Zhao Yan's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly communicated with Ah Er, set up a flame shield, hugged Xiao Qinglian and rotated half a circle, and used his back to block the incoming attack.
The pain in his back entered Zhao Yan's body, and Zhao Yan secretly thought that the strength of these people was not strong.
With a bottom in his heart, Zhao Yan pushed Xiaoqinglian to Cardan Ruobei and said, "Protect the prince." Then he turned his head and ordered the hill giants who had strode forward, and said, "Stop them, and don't make a big noise!"
More than ten figures descended from around Zhao Yan, their faces covered with black veils, and without saying much, they all rushed towards Zhao Yan.
These people were all thieves, and after receiving Zhao Yan's order, Ah Er immediately removed the flame shield and replaced it with dragon scales. Most of these thieves were at the B level, and although their attacks were all hitting Zhao Yan's body squarely, the dragon scales reduced their attacks by eighty percent.
Zhao Yan only felt that for a moment, it seemed to be pinched by more than a dozen people, and his heart hurt for a while.
Although Zhao Yan's face was not very good-looking, the thieves were even more misty, and their deadly attacks hit Zhao Yan's body as if nothing had happened at all.
Rumble!
Zhao Yan's arms fluttered, and a stream of flame energy erupted from Zhao Yan's toes, surging in all directions.
The thieves were unsteady on their feet and leaned back.
Zhao Yan quickly stepped back and continued to turn around, his black hair blown up by the wind, revealing his totem now as big as a thumb.
The totem flashed slightly.
Tai Chi Dragon Flame!
Under the guidance of the fire element, Zhao Yan's ability to control fire energy is now very strong. He lowered the intensity of the fire, and turned the dragon's roar into a muffled sound, like a muffled thunder in the sky.
The Yan Dragon emerged from behind Zhao Yan and spun back and forth in the palace compound, finally taking the thieves into the sky. As soon as he touched Yan Long's body, many of the thieves' clothes were on fire. Immediately afterward, a disgusting scorching smell came from the air.
Zhao Yan stood quietly in place, looking up at the Yan Dragon in mid-air.
The body of the flame dragon burned violently, making the night of the palace like day.
Finally, Yan Long's body gradually expanded, Zhao Yan suddenly pinched his fists in front of his chest, and pulled quickly to both sides, Yan Long suddenly "poof", dissipated in mid-air, and did not explode as before.
Zhao Yan didn't want to make such a big fuss, and he also wanted to leave a few alive.
The bodies that were struggling in the fire, the charred corpses fell from mid-air one after another, and fell to the ground hard.
Zhao Yan walked over to the two only people who were still alive, and with a wave of one arm, a cold wind blew through, extinguishing the fire on their bodies.
The two of them stared at Zhao Yan in horror as if they had seen a demon, desperately yearning to retreat, but their bodies did not obey.
Kadan Ruobei and Xiao Qinglian both stood behind Zhao Yan in a daze, they had never seen Zhao Yan make a move, and they didn't expect him to clean up these ten killers so easily.
The hearts of the two of them were full of excitement.
Zhao Yan said, "Who sent you?"
The two of them just stared at Zhao Yan and didn't answer.
"Say, Who sent you?"
Zhao Yan's indifference almost made the two of them collapse, they shook their heads desperately, and some weird sounds came out of their mouths.
At this moment Kadan Lopey ran over, drew his sword and put it at them, and shouted, "Speak quickly, speak out and spare your lives, or I will kill you!"
Woo! Woo...... Ahhh......h
The two of them shouted in a mess, crying not crying, laughing not laughing, and the Kadan Shell who watched it was very angry.
"You ......"
"Cardan Roube. Zhao Yan said: "Pry their mouths open." β
Cardan Obey shook the sword in his hand and stepped on the man's abdomen, and the pain immediately opened his mouth. Cardan Rabe quickly reached out and grabbed both of his cheeks. Suddenly, a trace of surprise appeared on his face.
"Boss, they don't have tongues!"
Cardanrobe put him down and grabbed another, and the result was the same.
"Damn! all tongues!"
Zhao Yan said lightly: "Luo Dan's style of acting is really vicious. β
Xiao Qinglian hurriedly came over and exclaimed, "Yan Great Magician, you mean that these killers were sent by my damn brother?"
"Yes. Zhao Yan nodded and said, "Not only are they sent by Luo Dan, but their target is still you." β
Xiao Qinglian's face changed drastically, and she said, "Oh my God, is he going to kill me?"
Zhao Yan ignored Xiao Qinglian's surprise, slowly walked towards his room, and said, "Don't panic, send a few people to send them back secretly, Luo Dan doesn't dare to come again." I think he should understand that if the Hill Giants protect you, if there is a fight, it will not be a small movement. β
Zhao Yan stopped in front of Xiao Qinglian's door and said, "Okay, Your Royal Highness the Prince, let's come in and discuss, the most critical tomorrow!"
"Okay, good ......" Xiao Qinglian glanced at those people, shuddered, and trotted towards Zhao Yan.
......
In Lordan's room, a faint light came through the cracks in the fallen leaf windows.
"Prime Minister, can this be successful?"
Kukutith hid his hands in his cuffs, hung his head and said gloomily: "Yan and his hill giants are not in the palace, and it shouldn't be a problem for those dozen killers to kill Xiao Qinglian." β
Luo Dan's face was worried, as if he was distrusting anyone, "But you sent that stupid guy from Zhidos, if you can't seize the opportunity and meet the giant of the hills, the news will spread to my father!"
Kukutith said calmly, "But this is an extraordinary time, and only the mute killers of Zhidos can be used. Don't worry, Your Royal Highness Prince, through my observation, Yan is not a great great magician, his level is not higher than mine, and he is an S-level mage like me. Hum...... But you know, I've been in the S-class stage for almost ten years, and his experience is not enough to fight me. Even if he doesn't succeed this time, he won't be able to fight me. β
"That's ......"
Luo Dan exhaled, took the initiative to lean in with Kukutis, and said, "It's all up to the Prime Minister. β
Kukutith turned, his eyes much more grim, "The end of Meinciri is coming. β
Luo Dan exclaimed: "Prime Minister, are you going to act?"
Kukutith said: "There is nothing surprising about this, Your Highness the Prince, are you not in a hurry? Of course, if you are not in a hurry, then the old minister has nothing to hurry. β
"No!" Luo Dan said loudly: "Prime Minister, I can't wait any longer! I can't sleep at night, I can't sleep any longer!"
Kukutith nodded, his thin body looking extremely hideous at the moment.
Outside the door, there was a commotion.
"Your Royal Highness, you, come out quickly......"
"What's the matter, yelling!"
Kukutith glanced at Lordan, and the two walked out.
In the courtyard, more than a dozen corpses were stacked on top of each other, and the bottom few had completely become charred corpses. Within a radius of more than ten meters, you can feel a disgusting stench.
Lordan was shocked by this disgusting scene, and he glanced at the top of the corpse, which had been folded more than a meter high. The man's body was less injured, but the expression on his face was extremely frightened, and his mouth opened widely, and the dark void inside seemed to tell how terrifying the last scene in front of him was.
Luo Dan's body trembled slightly, and said, "Cure ...... It's him, it's him!"
Much calmer than Lordan, Kukutith leaned closer to the corpses, looked at them carefully, and said, "He is indeed an excellent fire mage, Your Highness the Prince, we seem to have underestimated this opponent. He has no weakness for goodness, on the contrary, his means are no less vicious than ours. β
Lordan "gurgled" in his throat, the horror on his face still did not dissipate, and in front of his subordinates, he forcibly held back the horror in his heart and did not let himself stutter when he spoke.
"What's going on, isn't he a wanderer?"
When these words came out, Luo Dan also felt naΓ―ve, could it be that what he said he was was what he was? Of course, in normal times, the third prince would naturally not make such a low-level mistake. It's just that the current situation is really beyond his expectations.
"It seems that your lovely brother has found a good helper, this man is not a political newcomer. On the contrary, he is also skilled. In doing so, he is warning us. β
"All right, Your Highness the Prince, tell your men to settle Cidos and his foolish brothers, and rest early!"
Luo Dan asked worriedly, "Yan's methods are so vicious, will he come to me for trouble?"
Kukutith took a deep look at Luo Dan's face and said, "Your Royal Highness, in my impression, you are not such a timid person! β
Lordin was embarrassed, indeed, in the battle for the throne, when was he timid? no one had ever scared him, but for some reason, his heart was still beating like a drum.
"Let's go!" Lordan had long wanted to leave this terrible place, and he didn't want to look at it anymore with the expression of Gidos.

The middle of the Aya continent is covered with snow.
It was as if God had given Sakura Castle a snow-white coat so that it would not feel cold in this bitter cold weather.
The snow-white streets are full of sunken footprints, mixed with the marks of wheels, and the hooves of horses of different sizes, which makes it impossible to imagine the flow of people in the city.
Even though it was a heavy snowfall that obscured the view, the streets of Sakura Castle, especially the bustling shopping streets, didn't have a single foot of snow piled up even a foot high.
Wearing a snow-white fur coat, Lord Ji Garlic, the chief minister of Ai Sakura Castle, shrunk his neck and entered the main castle under the guidance of the guards.
When he was a few meters away from the main city, he felt the bustle inside.
As soon as he stepped into the main city, Cui Nande greeted him and said, "Isn't this Lord Ji Garlicji? Seeing that you are so anxious, there must be something important!"
Ji Garlic nodded and said, "Hey, the city lord explained before leaving, and I will handle everything by myself." But...... It's so important, and there's so much money to be used, it's really not easy to do!"
Cui Nande sighed, as if he had met a bosom friend, slapped Ji Garlic on the shoulder, and said, "How can I be the same, there is a group of bandits near Aiying City recently, and there are quite a few of them, and they have reached thousands of them. They don't deal with Ai Ying City, but specifically hijack past business travel, which has too much impact on Ai Ying City, it's really a headache!"
Ji Garlic shook his head, looking helpless.
Cassit, who was standing in the innermost part, walked over slowly, and said, "Two adults, don't be bored for a while! The princess must have called us here, she must have meant it, everyone be quiet and wait for her to come!"
Cui Nande was in a hurry, and blurted out what he wanted in his heart, "The princess is here, can these things be solved?"
The faces of Cassit, Ji Garlic and the surrounding ministers "brushed", and Ai Yingsha had already walked in.
Seeing the appearance of Cassie and the others, how could Trinand not know that he had made a mistake, and hurriedly turned around, his face suddenly turned pale, and immediately saluted Ai Yingsha and said, "Gong...... Princess, I ......"
Ai Yingsha wore a red, yellow and white gown, with a few dazzling gems on her head, and a long red pleated skirt at her feet. At first glance, there are many folds on the skirt, which looks atmospheric and cautious.
Ai Yingsha always maintains a faint smile and is very kind. His eyes moved, but he lowered his head unconsciously.
Radano smiled and followed closely behind. At this time, compared with her a few months ago, whether it is words and deeds or clothing matching, it is not at all the same grade.
Ai Yingsha stopped in front of Trinan and said, "Lord Trinande doesn't have to be like this, Ai Yingsha is not the person with a small belly." You're right, I may not be able to solve these things when I come, but I have called you here today to solve your troubles. Okay, Zhongqing, we might as well give it a try!"
Speaking of the back, Ai Yingsha walked out to the center of the main city council hall, sat on the innermost city lord's throne, and quietly looked at the ministers below.
The ministers were a little panicked, but judging from Ai Yingsha's words and deeds, she was by no means done with it.
And in their impression, this princess has been quiet and sensible since she was a child, and she is not the kind of ghost and troublemaker. On the contrary, on her body, she can still feel a heroic spirit left by the old city lord.
Ai Yingsha raised her head slightly and said, "Master Trinande, seeing that you are so anxious, tell me about your affairs." β
Cui Nande stepped forward, faced Ai Yingsha, paused for a while, and said, "Princess, there is a group of bandits near Ai Ying City, and there are thousands of them. They don't deal with Sakura City, but they specifically hijack past business travelers, and they make trouble like this, which has a great impact on Sakura City's economy. β
Ai Yingsha said: "However, the army of Ai Ying City has gone out with the city lord, and there are only a few thousand people left in the city, if they are mobilized, the city will be empty. But if you don't reconcile, those bandits will be even more rampant, right?"
Cui Nande was a little surprised, Ai Yingsha said everything he wanted to say, he nodded hurriedly, and said, "Yes, yes, that's the case!"
Ai Yingsha said: "This is easy to do, according to the recent situation from the front, the situation there is very good with General Ingreel. He has a lot of capable people, and he can pull out. What do you think of my order, General Ingreil, who will come back with a thousand men and work with you to exterminate those bandits?"
After a pause, Ai Yingsha said again: "Since the new city lord took the throne, the vicinity of Ai Yingsha has been very calm, and there are few bandits who make trouble. Even if there were, there had never been such a large-scale swagger. During Ingrid's return to the city, you send someone to see if you can infiltrate them and get to the bottom of them. If this is a group of ordinary bandits, then it's okay, see where they came from, if it's the brothers of the original Moro Kingdom, make peace with them, and use some materials to see if you can subdue them. If they won't, or if they ask for a sky-high price, you and Ingrid will level them up, don't be soft!"
"But if we find out that their origin is suspicious, or if it is a conspiracy of other countries, then we will discuss it. β
After Ai Yingsha finished speaking, there was no sound below, and many ministers even stared at Ai Yingsha dumbfounded, which was extremely ridiculous.
Trinand's voice pulled everyone back from their stunnedness.
"Princess, wise!" Trinand's eyes twinkled with a strange light.
Ai Yingsha was as calm as before, and turned to Ji Garlic Ji again, and said, "Master Ji Garlic, it seems that your problem is also very troublesome, come, tell me about it, and see if I can solve it for you." β
Ji Lianji hurriedly greeted him and said, "Princess! General Li Hao Shuai has just conquered a small village adjacent to Aiying City. In just one month, hundreds of people died mysteriously, and all of them died of illness. Their village chief came to Aiying City, and urgently needed us to make a sum of money for them, but the amount of this money was too large, and the minister would not dare to call the shots without the order of the city lord. β
Ai Yingsha held her chin, fell into a deep thought, paused for a long time, and then said: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether there is an order from the city lord or not, what I say also counts. It's just that the question isn't that simple. As you said earlier, all of them died of disease, and it is very likely that it is a contagious disease. If that's the case, what's the use of us just paying them? Since this village has been recovered by Ai Sakura Castle, we should also give it no matter how much money it is. But now, it's not just about money. Master Ji Garlic, this matter of yours is indeed a bit tricky!"
Ai Yingsha put her hand down and said, "You go and call the village chief, and I will ask him face to face." β
Inside the Sakura Castle, it suddenly became lively.
Many people were in a state of excitement, they never thought that the princess could handle government affairs. In this way, they will not have to worry about the city lord's absence.
Although they were surprised, how did they know that Ai Yingsha was no longer the little princess of the past, as early as half a year ago, she was determined to be a woman who helped her father and husband.
Now, she is stepping onto this stage step by step.
The road ahead was bumpy, but she wasn't alone and she wasn't afraid.
Because in this world, you are with you......
