Of the forty-six princes and princesses, nine of the five sects of Qingfeng were selected.

Xia Ji was not selected.

So, although everyone didn't say anything on the surface, there was another wave of ridicule in secret.

"Sure enough, it's a nerd, he can only read some ordinary books, and it's his turn to cultivate immortals, but he doesn't have any qualifications at all. ”

"No wonder he was stupid, he really didn't live up to his name, haha. ”

"This nerd can only read books, and he doesn't know anything about human affairs, and it's good for a stupid bird to fly first, but you also need to get along with others, right?

Look at the other princes and princesses, either follow the crown prince, or the second prince, or follow the eldest princess, even if they don't show their landscapes on the surface, don't they secretly keep in touch with all parties?"

"Only these seventeen sons really don't have landscapes, and they don't have contact, so they can read books, hahaha..."

"Stupid, stupid. ”

In the blink of an eye, another five years have passed.

Xia Jixu is fourteen years old.

Out of a gentle turbidity son.

He had never been in contact with other princes and princesses, nor had he practiced martial arts such as blood strength and true qi taught by the royal masters, and he had never even participated in anything in the capital of the Qi State.

He is like a little transparent, he reads books every day, and if you want to find him, you don't need to go anywhere else, just go to the Great Qi Pavilion.

It stands to reason that no one will take care of such a prince.

However, perhaps because of his appearance and bearing, there are still many girls from powerful families who have fallen in love with him and want to marry him, so they want their parents who are powerful to help match.

This kind of girl who only looks at her appearance was ridiculed fiercely by some other far-sighted talented women.

A talented woman with a long vision has never looked down on this kind of nerd.

Even if, what's the use of him reading well?

How much is it used for?

On the other hand, even though there are many girls who secretly agree, their parents dare not really match.

It's not that they look down on the prince, but now everyone who is a little sensible knows that the monarch's body is getting worse day by day, and the battle for the heir is just around the corner, who dares to marry the prince at this time?

If you are involved in the turmoil, you can jump into the fire pit by yourself.

The mortal kingdom may have confrontations.

The battle for the heir was extremely tragic.

The mortal world needs vitality, it needs its own order,

And the sect needs to be high and detached,

There are wars in the sect, and there are naturally wars in the mortal dynasties.

As long as the bottom line is not touched, the sect will not care about this.

That's why, and it's the consensus of the transcendentals.

...

...

Xia Ji is waiting for the killing.

Also waiting for someone.

He waited one thousand and thirteen years.

If this person comes, then, in fact, to him, no matter where he is, he is already complete.

Xiao Su is by his side, if that person also comes, then this is his home.

He is not in a hurry to improve his realm.

What does he want is to impatiently elevate himself to the Twelve Realms and reach the Thirteenth Realm?

Youths need to travel far away, because they have never seen far, because they are eager to go out of their own way.

But Xia Ji's Tao was already in his heart, and the distance was already in his eyes.

How could he just want to ascend to the realm??

He wanted to lay a solid "foundation".

Firm enough that he firmly believes that he can go to the supreme and transcendent,

It is so strong that there were no ancients in the past millions of years, and there are no people in the next millions of years.

A piece of grass can cut the sun, moon and stars, and a grain of sand can fill up the sea.

Is the grass strong?

Is the sand strong?

Not strong.

For the mighty one is the one who takes the grass and the one who pulls the sand.

He wanted to be this person.

If the heart is stored for eternity and the universe, it is truly undisturbed.

The waves are not shocked, but they are not rigid and motionless, so Xia Ji should still do something, and at the same time, he has already seen the general map of the entire Yunzhou, as well as the general description of the eastern continent.

Suddenly there were cheers from the attic of Daqi School...

"It's... Isn't this the Grand Commander?!"

"The Grand Commander, the Grand Commander. ”

"The Grand Commander is so handsome. ”

"This is the mysterious powerhouse of my Qi country, his spirit is so powerful, just when people get close, he can't help but have a faster heartbeat and trembling legs. ”

"The Grand Commander is too powerful. ”

Xia Ji casually tilted his head and looked, only to see a tall and powerful man walking with his head down...

But even so, he still couldn't hide his identity, and was discovered by the students in the school pavilion, because he was cheering.

Jin Batian had to straighten his waist, the conscience of heaven and earth, he just felt that martial arts needed to be broken through, and he just wanted to come to the Great Qi Academy to find a book...

He didn't want to be discovered.

Jin Batian suddenly made a straight face, and the scar on his left eye was even more indifferent, making people shudder just by meeting that look.

The student passers-by began to say loudly again: "The Great Commander is so majestic. ”

"Looks really reliable. ”

"Worthy of the Grand Commander. ”

Jin Batian: (°ー°〃)...

And at this moment, a change suddenly occurred.

A cold sound came from the corner of the eaves of a tall building.

"I'm going to challenge you. ”

The sound covered down, although it was calm, but it was like a thunderstorm, suppressing all the noise, and the students and passers-by looked up one after another, only to see that on the corner of the zhuwa, a figure in an ink-colored robe was standing out of thin air.

It was a swordsman, he stood on a high place, as if he had become one with the wind around him, and when Jin Batian looked at him, it seemed to be a wolf smoke rolling murderous aura shrouded him.

The swordsman reported his name: "Bloody hand." ”

Some of the students know the name.

Bloody hand is a martial idiot in Daqi, but he is also the strongest person in Daqi today, known as the first person under the sect, although his strength is the tenth realm, but he is extremely strong, with his ability, he has carried the eleventh realm of the law body strong.

Passers-by shouted.

"Bloody Hand, although you are powerful, you are not qualified to challenge the Grand Commander at all. ”

Bloody Hand said: "I know, but I still have to challenge. ”

He looked respectfully at the imposing man and said, "Please advise." ”

Jin Batian's expression was cold, and he sighed in his heart, where is he the opponent of the first person under this Great Qi Sect.

Seemingly...

Today is the time to admit that you are not the master of the mystery.

He was already too tired.

Whatever the outcome, he confessed.

Jin Batian closed his eyes in pain and slowly took off his hat.

And his actions made the bloody hand suddenly alert, only thinking that this terrifying master was going to make a move, he was a martial idiot, and he only heard that this great commander was a peerless powerhouse who lived in seclusion, but he didn't know the record of the great commander, so he dared to challenge rashly.

At this time, the bloody hand and body moved at will, like a sensitive hunter suddenly pounced, stepping into the void and the air flow rolling, the power around his body shook the space, and showed a triple phase.

As soon as he made a move, it was his strongest killing move, this was an interlocking lore, this was a lore that he had used hundreds of thousands of times, and at this time, this absolute attack was completely natural, and it had shrouded the great commander who was still standing on the ground.

The sword pierces the sky.

And this moment...

Bloody Hand's eyes suddenly brightened again, because he suddenly found that when he faced such a strong man, his heart had made a breakthrough, and the strength of the spiritual world pushed the power to go further, so that this sword was a sword that he had never stabbed out in his life.

Sharp!!

Falling from the sky!!

Shimmering Cold!!

Jin Batian: ......

He hurriedly raised his hand, wanting to shout "Wait, I admit defeat".

But before he could say anything, the bloody hand was suddenly suppressed from the sky by a terrifying force, and he forcibly changed his trajectory in mid-air, and smashed down on the ground of the Great Qi Academy.

The bricks and tiles are shattered, and the stone chips are splashed.

Bloody Hand spat out a mouthful of blood mist and wanted to get up, but only then did he find that his whole body was in sharp pain, and a just right amount of power was flowing through his body.

One more point of this power will make his meridians break by inch, and another one will allow him to produce a second sword.

And at this time, just right.

It was enough to make him unable to move, and he could only kneel.

Jin Batian was dumbfounded.

And in the eyes of passers-by, this mighty commander is just a casual wave... The bloody hand was already on his knees.

The hideous scar on Jin Batian's left eye added to the chill, and he wanted to find out who made the move, because the person who made the shot might be the real mysterious powerhouse.

But he didn't find it.

He sighed heavily at the bloody hand, "You're looking for the wrong person." ”

Bloody hands stared at him with wide eyes.

He Rao is experienced in a hundred battles, but in the face of that terrible spirit, he is also cowardly.

At the same time, he also understood.

So he lowered his head and said: "I am subdued, and I should not challenge the commander with all my strength... I did find the wrong person below. ”

Jin Batian: ......

He was in great pain.

That's not what he meant, okay?

And the people around have begun to be shocked and cheer.

Jin Batian lowered the brim of his hat, he won't read today, go back to the palace.

And at the height of the Great Qi Pavilion, Xia Ji smiled and shook his head, this can be regarded as adding some fun to his life, and having someone like Jin Batian does save a lot of trouble.

First of all, everyone else can see Jin Batian's activities and know that he is a reclusive powerhouse.

Secondly, even if Jin Batian is defeated one day, then the opponent will have deeper scruples, because he knows that the real powerhouse is still behind the scenes.

The fourteen-year-old prince took a sip of wolfberry tea, and when he returned to the palace with Xiao Wu at night, the crown prince Qi Heng blocked his way.

"Seventeenth brother, you come with me. ”

Xia Ji glanced at Xiao Wu: "Aunt Wu, you go back first." ”

"Oh. ”

A moment later.

Xia Ji followed the prince to a chic courtyard.

In the Wangjing Pavilion, a few plates of stir-fry, a pot of grape wine, and two glow-in-the-dark jade cups have been placed early.

The two sat opposite each other.

The bright moon rises from the palace complex, and the bright ice flowers cast mottled shadows on the buildings.

The crown prince Qi Heng repelled everyone, then looked at Xia Ji and said slowly: "You and my brother, let's talk openly and honestly today." Come, have a drink first. ”

He poured two glasses of wine.

The two touched and drank.

The crown prince Qi Heng said straight to the point: "Does the seventeenth brother think that he can be transcendent from the heir like this now?"

Xia Ji smiled: "I never thought about taking the throne, and I also thought about the throne. ”

The crown prince Qi Heng said: "The seventeenth brother sits in the library every day, and his ears don't hear anything outside the window, but it is cruel to take the heir, the second brother and the sixth brother are all fighting, and the eldest princess is adding fuel to the fire, except for a few younger brothers and sisters who went to the sect, everyone else has stood in line."

If you lose, you will either die or be exiled, which is inevitable.

And the seventeenth brother should also make a choice.

Because if you choose, you still have a chance, if you don't choose, then you are destined to not be able to escape the end of the bad ending, no matter who is on the throne, you will no longer pay attention to the seventeenth brother. ”

Xia Ji added another glass of wine to himself.

The crown prince Qi Heng said: "I am not the support of the seventeenth brother, but I feel that the upper position may be extremely high, and now the strength of the second brother and the sixth brother and the eldest princess are combined, and they are not my opponents."

Therefore, I think that the seventeenth brother can stand by my side, I also like to read people, and I don't want the seventeenth brother's talent and ambition to be unable to display.

Wouldn't it be good that the seventeenth brother can secretly support me, and when the time comes, he will be crowned king and dynasty, assist in government affairs, and show his ambitions?"

Xia Ji thought about it, this prince was really kind.

Because, in this national capital, I don't have the energy to fart.

The prince really felt that he had a good chance of winning, so he came to himself to bet.

Otherwise, after that, the prince did not crown those who followed the dragon king, but gave himself the title of king, which is unreasonable, and the prince himself can't get over it.

Xia Jiqi said: "My eldest brother and I have seen a few times from a distance during the royal banquet on weekdays, so we can say a few more words, why does the eldest brother suddenly care so much about me?"

The prince said: "We have not been elected to the sect, this life is to break the immortal relationship, immortals have their own troubles, we also have our game."

I see that the seventeenth brother stays out of things, ignores mundane affairs, and only studies wholeheartedly, no matter what others say about the seventeenth brother, I always feel that the seventeenth brother is not what they say.

The seventeenth brother has poetry and books in his belly, talent, country, heaven and earth, although he is young, he must be a first-class celebrity in the world, but the seventeenth brother does not understand the dark tide in this succession.

If the seventeenth brother is a ridiculous fool, it will be fine, I will ignore it, and I will go with you.

But since I am a royal unicorn, how can I be left in the dust?"

The prince smiled and stretched out his hand, his eyes looked at the young man opposite, and said emotionally: "My brother doesn't want to step on the bones of his younger siblings, and I don't want to have no relatives by my side in the future, you and I have lived in a palace for fourteen years, and in the future, are you willing to live with my brother for another hundred years?"

His voice was sincere, and he looked at the flawless and gentle young man in front of him with expectant eyes.

Xia Ji took his hand, and the two hands were clasped tightly together, but then, he also said sincerely: "Actually, I won't stay in the imperial capital forever, in another two or three years, when the time is right, I will go out for a walk." ”

The prince laughed and said: "In two or three years, but when the seventeenth brother marries a wife and settles down, then I will not be in a hurry, and Concubine Chan should also be in a hurry, right?

Xia Ji also laughed, and he didn't continue to say anything.

The prince suddenly said: "There is a country of Fenglai in the east, and in recent years, he has often provoked on the border of my Daqi, plundered villages and towns, burned, killed and looted, and did all kinds of evil.

I need to be on top, I need to solve this problem, and I need to make a meritorious deed.

I begged my father to let me go, and my father agreed, and let me lead an army of 100,000 to go on the expedition.

And when I return, it will be the time when the dust settles and the succession is over. ”

Xia Ji was suddenly a little stunned.

He vaguely remembered that the 1,500-year-old Gu Chen had also led 100,000 troops in this way, and then it was gone.

But he quickly came to his senses, not to mention that the five great families don't know where they are now, even if they are really in Yunzhou, they won't care about this kind of thing.

So, he said casually: "Then I wish the prince a victory." ”

The prince laughed.

"Yes, today you and my brother will not get drunk and will not return. ”
