The Yuanqi Continent is vast and boundless, the sects are prosperous, and the empires are numerous, this is the world of warriors, and the strong are respected. Martial arts is the main tone of the Yuanqi Continent, the sect is established with martial arts, and the empire is even more reinvigorated with martial arts.

If you want to survive here, the cruel competition is really rare. The collapse of the sect, the demise of the family, and the collapse of the empire are not uncommon in the eyes of the world.

The Hundred Battles Dynasty, located in the southern part of the mainland, is a well-deserved overlord of southern Xinjiang, with a heritage of nearly a thousand years, and under its rule, the territory is unimaginably large, with a population of more than 10 billion.

The territory of the Hundred Battles Dynasty is full of festive appearances, and the sound of cheers and joys rises and falls in the vast territory. In the imperial capital, the whole capital is full of lights, children are running on the street to tell each other, and adults are smiling at each other, which is the so-called national jubilation.

Taverns, inns, inns...... The conversation did not stop for a moment.

"Tianyi Hou is worthy of being the first general of the dynasty, this time he led the troops to the battle, and in just half a year, he has already leveled the Chu Empire and returned triumphantly, which is really happy!"

"Needless to say, now the whole country is celebrating, within the dynasty, who does not admire the Tianyi Hou? The Chu Empire also does not know whether to live or die, but it is only the four-grade empire, although ten new venerables have been promoted within a year, but it has still not left the ranks of the four-grade empire, so I want to compete with my five-grade hundred battle dynasty, it is really a frog sitting in the well who does not know the size of the world. ”

"Ranye, Ranye, especially the crown prince of the Chu Empire, is already in his thirties, and his strength is only four in the Hundred Refining Realm, and he actually wants to force the little princess as a concubine, and threaten the emperor with a war between the two countries, it is really hateful!"

"The little princess and the little marquis of the Tianyi Marquis Mansion have a marriage contract from the late emperor, and when they reach the age of fifteen, they can be married by decree, and the prince of the Chu family actually proposed to let the emperor dissolve the marriage contract and let the little princess marry him. Such an unreasonable request, I don't know what he relied on to have the courage to say it in the court. ”

"The little marquis and the little princess seem to be almost fifteen years old, if I remember correctly, at the beginning of next year, they will be able to get married, and then the whole country will celebrate again!"

"The little princess is not only beautiful, but also talented, I heard that the little princess's martial arts cultivation seems to have reached the ninth level of 'creating a state of mind', and she will be able to break through again soon, then she is a master of the 'divine body realm'!"

"Alas, I don't know if it will be a blessing or a curse in the future. I heard that the little marquis of the Wing Hou Mansion is still trapped in the sixth level of the 'Pneumatic Realm' now, and he hasn't been able to go any further for several years!"

"The son of a dignified general, martial arts talent shouldn't be so bad, isn't it ......?"

"Shh......h , You should stop talking about this, although the little marquis is a good person, he may not care about these discussions, but in his identity, it is not something that we people can discuss casually, and it is better not to say some things. ”

Speaking of this, everyone couldn't help but be silent for a moment, and then they changed the topic one after another, not talking about the little marquis of the Tianyi Marquis Mansion.

I don't know what is unique about the little marquis of the Yihou Mansion that day, and it has become the talk of everyone after dinner?

The Hundred Battles Dynasty is celebrating the whole country at this moment, it turned out that the Tianyi Marquis "Xiu Tianyi" was ordered to lead the troops to the expedition, which lasted half a year to set foot on a four-product empire, the army has returned triumphantly yesterday, the emperor of the Hundred Battles Dynasty is the old man is relieved, so he issued an amnesty to the world, and the whole country celebrates for seven days, so there is such a lively scene.

The little princess of the Hundred Battles Dynasty "Zhan Yueling" and the little marquis of Tianyi Mansion "Xiu Tianyu" already had a marriage contract, not to mention that this marriage contract was given by the first emperor. The crown prince of the Chu Empire wanted to forcibly accept the little princess as a concubine, which was not only humiliating the emperor's order, but also trampling on the face of the Tianyi Marquis's mansion, so it was natural for the Tianyi Marquis to lead the troops to the battle.

The imperial capital, the Tianyi Marquis' Mansion.

The magnificence of the Tianyi Hou Mansion is not common in the imperial capital, the golden glazed tiles, the vermilion courtyard wall, the majestic gatehouse is solemn, and the buildings in the mansion are like the jade of Qionglou. The four red gold plaques of "Tianyi Houfu" on the door of the Hou Mansion have been replaced by the four pure gold carved dragon plaques of "Side by Side Wangfu" at this moment, which is eye-catching.

In front of the gate, people are coming and going at the moment, so lively. These are the princes and nobles in the imperial capital, and they all chose to go to the palace today to pay tribute and congratulate.

The Tianyi Marquis Mansion cultivator, the inheritance may be even older than the Hundred Battles Dynasty. According to legend, when the founding emperor of the Hundred Battles Dynasty led his troops to expand his territory, the Xiu family did not know how long it had been inherited. Later, the ancestors of the Xiu family followed the emperor's account and fought with the emperor in the north and south, and finally established the Baizhan Dynasty.

The establishment of the dynasty, since the meritorious deeds should be rewarded, but the ancestors of the Xiu family did not bring merit to the reward, only asked for the position of a hereditary marquis, they were satisfied, and ordered to warn the descendants of the Xiu family that the Xiu family will always be a marquis and will never be the king.

The Xiu family has been passed down from generation to generation, and there are naturally strong and weak times, but they have been conscientiously assisting the emperor, especially in the last 50 years, the Xiu family has paid too much for the empire, and the Hou Mansion has reached the point of breaking the muscles and bones.

The old marquis died in battle, the four elder brothers of Tianyi Hou and several uncles were shrouded in horse leather, and Xiu Jiaerlang did not know how many people died in battle, which made the Baizhan Dynasty stand out from the many four-pin empires in southern Xinjiang and became a five-pin empire, especially this time Tianyi Hou conquered the Chu Empire, which made the Baizhan Dynasty become the overlord of southern Xinjiang.

Such a feat has long been sung and praised in the community, and people who don't know much about the history of the dynasty think that the Hundred Battles Dynasty only has a cultivator, but they don't know that the Hundred Battles Dynasty is the ruler of the Hundred Battles Dynasty.

This time, the Tianyi Marquis returned triumphantly, and the emperor of the Hundred Battles Dynasty didn't know how to reward him for a while, so he broke the ancestral training of the Xiu family and named the Tianyi Marquis as the hereditary "side by side king".

Since then, the Xiu family has become the only king with a foreign surname since the founding of the Hundred Battles Dynasty, but the world feels that only this honor is worthy of the dedication of the Xiu family for generations.

Although this honor is great, but people who know the Xiu family can't help but sigh, although the Xiu family is crowned king, this "prince" can only be done by Xiu Tianyi, and the strength of the Xiu family has reached the end of the road. After a hundred years of Wang Xiutianyi, the little prince inherited the throne of the prince, but it was not worthy of the name, and it was difficult to support the huge palace by himself.

There are countless side lines of the Xiu family, but in addition to the direct line of Wang Xiutianyi, there is only one little prince left, "Xiu Tianyu". If the little prince's martial arts cultivation is profound, then there is nothing to say, but Xiu Tianyu, as the son of Jiangmen, is about to turn fifteen years old, but his martial arts cultivation is only the sixth level of the "pneumatic realm" at the beginning of martial arts, which makes people embarrassed.

In the Yuanqi Continent, martial arts are prevalent, and it can be said that it is not an exaggeration for everyone to cultivate martial arts, and the method of ordinary cultivation is widely spread. People start cultivating when they are five or six years old, and ordinary people with good qualifications can basically break through to the state of mind creation at the age of fifteen or sixteen by relying on the most basic cultivation exercises. The son of a prince and nobleman, his bloodline is inherently stronger than that of ordinary people, as long as his martial arts qualifications are not too bad, he can often break through to the state of mind creation at the age of twelve or thirteen.

Let the world hate iron is not only that, Xiu Tianyu is not interested in the way of martial arts, but he likes the good of literati such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and music, and he also learns the Tao, is humble, courteous and thoughtful.

But this world does not belong to the world of literati after all, but the world of warriors, only to protect the body by force, to determine the world by force, there has always been only martial arts, supplemented by literature, literati are destined to have a stable day in this cruel competitive environment.

Side by side royal palace, banquet hall.

The guests from all over the world are full of friends, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, and the people are shuttling between the large round tables with red faces, adding food and wine to the guests, and the noise fills the entire lobby, so lively.

The palace is full of lively scenes, only the study in the backyard, as if abandoned by this lively atmosphere, left in the quiet square inch.

In the study, a figure dressed in gray sat alone in front of the desk, this person was not burly, but very tough, with long flowing hair draped casually on his back, mixed with a little snow-white hair. The eyebrows are like ink, the eyes are focused, the face is angular, but unkempt, and the stubble is faintly visible.

This person looked to be only in his forties, and he was the master of this huge side-by-side palace, Xiu Tianyi. Xiu Tianyi held a brush dipped in ink in his hand, and there was a snow-white silk silk on the table, but he hadn't written for a long time.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, Xiu Tianyi seemed to wake up suddenly, he closed his eyes and breathed a deep sigh of relief, and when he opened his eyes again, a venerable aura instantly filled the entire room. Xiu Tianyi put down his pen, said "come in", and then looked up at the door of the study.

The door opened, and into walked the figure of a young man, fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed in snow-white clothes, and his black hair hung down from his head wantonly, which also added a little heroism to his not very handsome cheeks.

The young man walked to the desk and stared at Xiu Tianyi for a while before he said, "Father, those princes and nobles, and guests from all over the world are waiting in the hall, aren't you going to meet them?"

This person is Xiu Tianyi's only son, and he is also the future heir of this side by side royal mansion, Xiu Tianyu. Xiu Tianyi didn't seem to expect that it would be his son who would come to see him at this moment, he paused for a moment before saying, "Yu'er, wait for your father and then go." What about you, why don't you go to the banquet?"

The corners of Xiu Tianyu's mouth smiled slightly, and said: "Father, you don't know, the child has no interest in these banquets, and if he goes, it will only increase his troubles, and his whole body is uncomfortable, so it is better not to go!"

Xiu Tianyi got up and looked at his son, a rare smile appeared on his face, he shook his head, stretched out his hand and scratched Xiu Tianyu's head, and said, "You, it's still the same." In the past, I didn't care about you as a father, but today is different from the past, you still pack up and go with me to meet the guests. ”

Xiu Tianyu spread his hands, only a helpless smile on his face, and said, "Okay, since my father has already given the order, my son will let go out, and accompany my father to go on a journey!"

"Haha......"

Xiu Tianyi was also amused by his son's words, his face was full of smiles, and all the gloom seemed to disappear in this smile.

"That Yu'er, you hurry up and clean up, wait for your father to explain to Commander Mu, let him strengthen the guards, don't make any forks, and then our father and son will go to the hall together, hehe......." Xiu Tianyi stretched out his hand and stroked Xiu Tianyu's shoulder and said.

After Xiu Tianyu heard this, his eyes couldn't help twitching slightly, and said: "Father, the emperor has transferred the Dragon Elephant Divine Martial Battalion to the palace side by side, and the defense of the palace today can be described as an iron wall, so what other young people dare to come here to make trouble?"

Hearing this, Xiu Tianyi couldn't help but be stunned, and the scattered gloomy clouds seemed to cover it in an instant, he looked up at the starry sky outside the window, and his tone couldn't help but be a little heavier, and said, "Defense...... Is it the inside or the outside ...... that is guarded against".

Xiu Tianyi paused for a moment, and then continued: "Yu'er, you are still young, there are some things you don't understand, you don't have to worry about it, you have your own arrangements." ”

With that, Xiu Tianyi took a step and walked to the front yard.

"Is the ancestral training broken, or is the merit high and the master?" the young man's sigh sounded slowly.

The figure of Xiu Tianyi suddenly stopped because of these words, and occasionally trembled a little. He looked back at his son deeply, as if he had never understood his familiar descendant!

Xiu Tianyi's heart was no longer calm, he just looked at it, looking at his son who was both familiar and strange. He really couldn't imagine that a young man who didn't regard cultivation as a thing and would only live a carefree life all day long could use such concise words to explain all the troubles in his heart in one sentence? At this moment, he realized that he couldn't see through the young man with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Xiu Tianyi took a few deep breaths, and when his shocked heart calmed down a little, he said, "Yu'er, has Xiuwei still not broken through?"

Xiu Tianyi's face was a little more lonely, and there was a taste of sadness and helplessness in his words.

The smile on Xiu Tianyu's face did not decrease, and he said freely: "Father, you can't force your cultivation all the way, and besides, the child is not too interested in the way of cultivation, so don't embarrass your son anymore?"

The night sky was silent, time seemed to stop, and the father and son looked at each other like that, and did not speak again.

In the end, Xiu Tianyi was defeated, and said, "Okay, let it go......" After that, Xiu Tianyi turned around and strode forward, the figure was a little more rickety and a little more lonely than in the past.

That's helplessness, that's hatred of iron and steel, that's heart death, at this moment, it seems that some hope has disappeared in the night sky, annihilated in the bottom of my heart.

Looking at the faintly distant figure, Xiu Tianyu clenched his fists, pursed his lips, and bit his teeth together.

Is it true that he does not want to forge ahead, is willing to fall, and has no far-sighted ambition? But what is his helplessness?
