The military chief of the small town took office a year ago, and he was very satisfied with his decision to change his court and join the military chief of the prince's line, and he thought that he had made a very wise decision.

Five years ago, there were border frictions between Xiyan and Nanchen from time to time. He relied on this friction to fight autumn winds on the border of Nanchen from time to time, and accumulated a lot of wealth.

In his memory, the most impressive autumn wind was the one thirteen years ago.

He didn't gain much from that autumn wind, and was even scolded by the captain at the time.

But ever since, he would always have strange dreams. In his dream, there was a burning man who attacked him with teeth and claws.

He has now entered the third order of martial arts, and his strength is strong, and that fire man is not in his eyes. But he often has such strange dreams, which makes him inexplicably afraid.

"Dead old woman, I'll hack you to death if you come back again. He woke up from the dream again. In his dreams, he had already slashed the burning man countless times.

"Is there really a ghost?" he picked up the saber hanging by the bed, bundled his armor, and walked towards the small town barracks.

"The dead old woman is really haunted. On the way, he swung his knife hatefully and slashed at the small branches of the trees that blocked his way.

"The guy who was burned by the old woman seems to have disappeared during a mission five years ago. Damn, I don't know if that guy has this kind of problem. He thought of his companion who had fought the autumn breeze in that village with him, and thought.

The barracks were in sight, and he quickened his pace.

Suddenly, he felt a strong coldness that made his soul tremble.

He is not only a third-order martial artist, but also a soldier who has experienced battlefield killings.

This aura is very familiar to him, killing intent.

Sharp, he immediately leaped forward and retreated sharply.

"Huh!" a powerful sword qi shot out from where he had just stood.

"It's so dangerous!" he was afraid, and shouted angrily in the direction where the sword qi came from: "Which guy who is not long-eyed, dares to plot against Uncle Ben." ”

It was another sword qi that answered him, and its strength was much stronger than that of Fang Cai.

Filled with rage, he drew his sword, blocked the sword qi for a moment, and rushed towards a boulder.

After two aerial encounters, he decided that the killer was an initiator.

When a warrior fights an initiator, the best combat option is a melee station.

He looked at the young man behind the boulder with a stunned expression.

"Who are you, why did you kill me?" he had never been assassinated, and in the Western Empire, he was just a low-level officer, and he couldn't match the machinations of the big guys. At the same level, he was confident that he had not offended anyone.

And in this barracks, he is also a well-respected chief officer under his command.

He had inquired about the prince's temperament in many ways, and in order to climb up, he had paid great attention to managing his reputation in recent years. Moreover, he was transferred to this small town only a year ago, and there are no enemies here at all.

The young man was silent, only to see him wave the sword in his hand, and a sword aura appeared out of thin air, extremely powerful.

When the officer saw this scene, his pupils shrank.

"Who is this boy? I'm not an opponent. After the officer recognized the reality, he avoided the sword aura and quickly retreated.

The barracks was not far away, and as long as he escaped into it, he would be able to escape.

The young man didn't chase after him, he looked at the figure indifferently, and slowly raised the long sword in his hand.

......

Ji Luohan, the second prince of the Xiyan Empire, has had a very difficult time in the past few years.

Ever since Qi Centian's son Qi Hao became the fifth person, Ji Luohan has been on his back.

He regretted that when he killed Qi Centian's family, there would be Qi Hao, a fish that slipped through the net.

But at the same time, he was very afraid that if he killed Qi Hao back then, would he have extinguished the hope of the future of the Xiyan Empire.

"Why is this happening?" the second prince, Ji Luohan, sat in the chess room with the abbot, unwillingly.

"Back then, we were one bad move, and now when we look back on it, we always think that some of them are incredible. "The old minister even suspected that the crown prince lured us to kill Qi Cen Tian, as if he knew that Qi Hao would be the fifth person." Guozhang dropped the chess piece in his hand.

"How is this possible, if he can foresee the future, I will surrender immediately. The second prince followed the prince and also lost a son.

Lao Chen also thought this was too incredible, but he really couldn't think of any other explanation. Guozhang hesitated.

The second prince picked up the tea on the coffee table, took a few sips of tea, and said: "It can only be said that his luck is good, our mistake in this matter, because of Qi Hao's appearance, has been infinitely magnified." ”

"The old minister has been entrusted by His Highness. "The prince still hasn't fallen behind.

"The prince is serious, in the past few years, many people have begun to fall to the prince, and that Qi Hao has also continued to oppose me, and only you have always firmly supported me. No one can say for sure what will happen in the future, Your Majesty is in his prime, Qi Hao will enter that sea sooner or later, and we can lie dormant during this time. Since he is too sharp, we should not have a hard time with him now. The second prince comforted the abbot.

"Your Highness is wise. Guozhang finally figured out where to settle.

"You lost. After the second prince fell, he said.

"His Royal Highness has outstanding chess skills, and the old minister admires him. The ruler stood up and bowed in worship.

"The skill of entertainment, what a concern. The second prince got up and invited the prince to accompany him for a walk in the imperial garden.

"His Royal Highness is modest, and his chess skills are also popular, and the vertical and horizontal methods are unfathomable. The abbot got up and asked the second prince to move first.

"I'm afraid that this vertical and horizontal road is not the emperor's way!" the second prince shook his head and walked towards the imperial garden.

"Your Highness, in the past five years, we have continued to gather forces, and those who remain now are loyal. That's not a bad thing for us either. The prince followed behind the second prince and began to report on the power of their line.

At the other end of the imperial garden, the prince was sitting with Qi Hao in a viewing pavilion.

"Why did you come back?" asked the prince.

"The dean asked me to come back. He said let me come to answer the calamity. Qi Hao wrote lightly.

"What?" the prince was stunned.

"He said he didn't know either, he just asked me to come over. It's just a robbery, so there's no need to worry too much. Qi Hao comforted the prince.

"Does the Emperor know?" the crown prince asked immediately.

"No, I'll come directly to Your Highness when I come back, and I haven't had time to meet Your Majesty yet. Qi Hao shook his head and said.

Since Qi Hao knew that the prince was his savior, he was very grateful to the prince and was very kind to the prince.

This time, he came back from Xizhi City, and without staying for a moment, he came to find the prince.

The crown prince learned that Qi Hao had not met the emperor and came directly to him, although he was moved in his heart, he immediately pulled Qi Hao towards the main hall in the depths of the palace.

At the entrance of the Imperial Garden, the second prince was walking slowly with the abbot. Suddenly, they noticed that the prince was walking towards them with a young man.

The prince wanted to avoid it, but was stopped by the second prince.

"Brother Chen has seen His Royal Highness the Prince. Ji Luohan saluted the prince.

This kind of performance of the second prince was unimaginable five years ago.

When the prince saw the second prince like this, he immediately bowed and saluted.

The crown prince had already seen the second prince and the prince, and he hoped that the second prince would retreat. When he saw this, his heart sank.

A reckless opponent is not to be feared, but it is only after the ups and downs that he is feared by those who act with restraint.

In the past, his second brother was impulsive, although he had to spend his energy to deal with him, but deep down, the prince looked down on him at all.

However, the changes in recent years, especially the scene just now, made him more and more jealous.

After the prince simply returned the salute, he led Qi Hao to hurry over.

"The prince is now more and more unpopular. The prince looked at the prince who had already gone away and said to the second prince.

"If it was the old me, I'm afraid it would be even more excessive. I wish he really had no one in mind, and not in me. The second prince said lightly.

Ji Luohan knows very well about his sixth brother, playing tricks is a powerful character, but to pretend that there is no one in his eyes, he is not that material.

"He's changed. Qi Hao said behind the prince.

"In the past few years, you have often been in Xizhi City, I thought you couldn't find it, but I didn't expect you to see it at a glance. It seems that he has changed really much, and I underestimated him. The prince frowned.

"It's not a good thing to underestimate your opponents. Qi Hao reminded.

"It's okay, he won't let me underestimate him, otherwise he would have deliberately avoided it just now. He, he just doesn't admit defeat, it's all in this situation, and he has to be strong for a while, if he deliberately avoids it, I'm really worried that I will be confused by him. The prince sneered.

"In this way, he is still a fair opponent. Qi Hao also sneered.

......

The new military commander of the town died, dead at the entrance to the barracks.

The soldiers watched as the commander of the ordinary good old man died in front of them.

No one saw the murderer, and the soldier only saw a powerful sword aura piercing through the void and suddenly appeared. Before their commander could react to what was happening, he found his body running behind him, and then he descended into the infinite darkness.

The body separated, and the head entered the barracks.

After the sword qi slashed the officer, it did not stop, but continued to slash forward on the gate of the barracks, and the gate of the barracks was destroyed.

The murder is invisible, and destroys the gate of the barracks, but he does not even see the face of the murderer.

The military chief of the small town was killed, and the matter was reported level by level, and finally His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was alarmed.

"Assassination, but how is it the assassination of a junior officer?" the prince looked at the secret report, lost in thought.

"Your Highness, do you think it was His Royal Highness's doing?" a middle-aged officer asked, bowing down.

"If he jumps over the wall in a hurry and warns those who have taken refuge in us by assassination, it seems to be in the past. However, according to the secret report, the gate of the barracks was also destroyed. This is related to the face of the Imperial Military Department, and he will not be so confused as to deliberately damage the gate of the barracks. The prince shook his head.

"It really doesn't make sense. The middle-aged officer muttered.

"The most important thing is that he can't do such a stupid thing now. Once again, the prince dismissed the officer's speculation.

"Could it be an accident, this young general's official revenge?" the middle-aged officer asked.

"Possibly. The prince put down the secret report and said calmly: "It's just that he has only been in office in that small town for a year, and the local reputation for him is very good, a good old man, what kind of enemies can this kind of person have!"

The crown prince always felt that this matter was unusual, especially the mysterious sword qi described in the secret report.
