Section 291 Brother and sister

"Your Highness, you're thinking too much. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Xiaohe slowly shook his head to persuade, but the prince smiled happily: "Don't call me Your Highness, that's what outsiders call this palace." Between you and me, we should be commensurate with brother and sister, so that we can appear affectionate. I came to Lingxiu Palace today, and I wanted to catch up with my sister-in-law. Second, it's also because of the tense situation in the north, if the girl and Yang Tianhong can get in touch, help me bring a few words to him. โ€

Xiaohe sat up straight, and his expression became particularly solemn: "Please also ask my brother to make it clear." โ€

The prince also put away the smile on his face and became serious. He raised his right hand and stretched out two fingers: "In this great Chu world, the replacement of the old and the new has always been an inevitable thing. Although his father is sage, he can't survive and his body is getting old. Filial piety is the most principled. In and out of this palace, I will inevitably need a sister to help me take care of it in the future. As long as it is a meritorious minister of Great Chu, this palace will never be stingy with rewards. If Yang Tianhong can block the troops of Rong Di in the north and make great achievements, the title of "Prince Yiyong" will always be kept by the palace. โ€

Hearing this, Xiaohe couldn't help but become stunned.

I guess I heard it wrong, right?

Crowned king?

Every country in the world has royal family and noble relatives. Taking the state of Chu as an example, there are more than a dozen princes of all sizes. However, all those who can be crowned kings are of royal blood. In short, only those with royal blood and noble status are eligible to be crowned kings. If you change to other courtiers, even if you make great contributions, at most you will be a marquis, and when you are older, you can be promoted to duke. In this life, even if he has a prominent reputation and is a very popular minister.

What is the concept of a king with a different surname? That is equivalent to dividing a piece of the territory of the Great Chu State and giving it to others. After all. A king is different from a knight, and he must have his own fief. Otherwise, there would be no king.

Emperor Shunming was a relatively enlightened figure among the emperors of Chu in the past dynasties. Despite this, Emperor Shunming did not dare to disobey the instructions of his ancestors, and rewarded the meritorious ministers with royal titles. Xiaohe never thought that the prince would say this in front of him. This is no longer a gesture of goodwill in the pure sense of the word. You can see it. The prince's plans are great. The plan in the imagination is far from what you can imagine.

"Don't be so surprised. โ€

Looking at Xiao He, who was slightly moved on his face, the prince smiled faintly: "My words are not finished yet." If it is just a king, Yang Tianhong may not be able to see it. The palace can also offer another condition: as long as he is invincible on the battlefield and lays down a large area of the country for my Great Chu, the position of the general in the court, the palace has always been prepared for him. โ€

Xiaohe suddenly felt that his brain was a little insufficient, and he became a little dizzy for a while.

Since ancient times, a person who is crowned a king must not have an official position in the court. This is already an unwritten practice in all countries in the world. Take the state of Chu as an example. King Jingning is the King of Jingning, and although he has a noble status, he does not hold any position in the court. King Changle is the King of Changle, even if he is a direct blood relative of Emperor Shunming, he cannot participate in the debate on national affairs. At most, he talked to Emperor Shunming in private, and he just knocked on the side of some things. This was so because of the backlash from the courtier clique. I don't know when it began, but there is a popular view in the world: nobles with the status of kings. If you have the power of the country at the same time, then you will inevitably have a strong interest in the imperial power and the dragon chair. Despite the seemingly faithful appearance. In fact, there is nothing to control it. In the end, if this person rebels and seizes power, then the emperor of the dynasty will not be able to deal with it at all, so he can only honestly hand over the power in his hands, and then the dynasty will be replaced and the new emperor will ascend the throne.

That being said. But that never happened. Xiao He is well-read, and has never seen any relevant records in the book. When the prince said this kind of thing now, Xiaohe felt very shocked, and instinctively wanted to excuse Yang Tianhong, but saw the prince shaking his head again and again: "Don't worry about today's things." This palace has always been true to its word. Walk the talk. As I said, between you and me, we are commensurate with brothers and sisters, and there is no need for any false response from His Royal Highness. Speaking of which, Yang Tianhong's sister-in-law, I gradually became satisfied later. Looking at the whole world, only Wu Anjun of the Qin State deserves the title of "killing god". If Yang Tianhong can defeat Bai Qi, when I ascend the throne in the future, I will definitely announce it to the world and personally enshrine Yang Tianhong as the new god of killing. โ€

The prince's character is indeed a dissolute wreck. He came suddenly, and when he went, he got up and left. Only Xiaohe was left to sit there alone, thinking about what had just happened very distractedly.

Qin State Wu Anjun Bai Qi is a famous "killing god" in the world. The reason why he got this name is because he won the Zhao State in the Battle of Changping and killed as many as one million soldiers. Whether it was cruel or the circumstances of the time, the deaths of these millions of people were indeed related to Bai Qi.

Of course, this was all a long time ago.

Yang Tianhong is also very similar to Bai Qi in doing things. Murderous, cruel, tyrannical...... But all these things are aimed at the enemy. For the people in Anzhou, Yang Tianhong is actually very generous, and there has never been a dissatisfaction with the people of Anzhou with his festival. After all, the benefits are really tangible. Now in Anzhou, as long as you pay hard work and labor, there is absolutely no problem to eat a full stomach, and even after a few years of hard work, you can earn a good family business.

If it were in the land of Chu or other places, this kind of thing would never be imagined.

Xiaohe recorded what the prince had just said, wrote it into a text, and handed it over to someone to take out of the palace. This is the secret communication channel between her and Yang Tianhong. Last time Yang Tianhong entered the palace, in order to prevent similar news from obstructing the situation, several Guiyuan sect members with superb skills were specially set up in the palace. One is to facilitate the transmission of messages between two people, and the other is to protect Xiaohe's safety.

After writing the letter, Xiaohe suddenly felt a little lazy and didn't want to do things. I don't know why, but I suddenly remembered the prince's brother again.

I have heard from the uncle of King Changle before that the crown prince is also guided by immortal masters and monks, and he also has a lot of wealth of the royal family of Chu State as a foundation. The crown prince is young, and he has the strength of the seventh layer of qi cultivation early. However, Xiao He only saw that the prince's cultivation was only the sixth layer of Qi training.

Could it be that I was wrong?

Or, did Uncle Changle Wang say something wrong?

Neither scenario is possible.

Xiaohe believes in his eyes. What's more, the crown prince sat in front of him before. At such a close distance. If you want to see a person's true cultivation clearly, it is really simple for Xiaohe, who is also a monk.

Uncle Changle Wang never told lies, and it was impossible for him to lie about things like the prince's cultivation for the sake of royal face, or deliberately exaggerate. Xiaohe has been by the side of King Changle for many years, and he knows his uncle's temper and personality very well. Since he said that the prince's cultivation is the seventh level of qi training. That must be the case.

If you think about it carefully, there is only one explanation: that is, the prince's cultivation is declining. Moreover, it has fallen to a whole small realm.

It's not surprising that cultivation is slipping. This is not only the case for the crown prince, but also for many monks. There are many reasons for the decline in cultivation: there is no elixir to maintain the supply, one's own cultivation has gone astray, there is no diligent penance, there is no follow-up exercises, and so on...... In short, cultivating this kind of thing is not for you to worship the Mountain Sect. Or you can succeed with the guidance of a famous teacher. Cultivation is like everything else in the world, and if you work hard, you will naturally be rewarded. If you become slack off for a period of time, you will naturally decline in cultivation, or even completely lose your spiritual energy, and become an ordinary person again.

Xiaohe didn't know what happened to the prince. But one thing is certainโ€”the crown prince has not cultivated for a long time. Perhaps, he was working on something else. It could also be that there are too many other things that are causing distractions. Speaking of which, the emperors of all dynasties have never succeeded in cultivating to become an example of foundation building. Want. The reasons are all the same. Those who can sit peacefully on the dragon chair naturally do not have the extra energy to take care of other things.

......

Everyone knew that the Belo Mountains were dangerous. Including the organizers of the auction house. Therefore, the auction only recognizes the spirit stone and does not recognize the person, and all the people who enter the auction hall will not meet, and as for who auctioned the thing, no one will know. This is also an important principle to ensure that there is a continuous buying and selling.

But in Yang Tianhong's view, all this is just unbinding words on paper. If only it could be done. I wouldn't be in this place today. It is clear that the auction house has clearly broken the rule that "no guest identity can be revealed". Lin Yinglei was hunted down and killed, which is the most direct explanation. Next, Yang Tianhong will personally verify this.

There really isn't much to entertain and pass the time in the Valley of the Troubled Spirits. After waiting patiently for several days, it was finally time for the auction to open. Yang Tianhong carefully looked at the exquisite treasure lock hanging on his chest, and brought the high-level concealment charm given to him by the steel armor, and determined that his exposed cultivation ability was only after the middle stage of foundation building at most, so he followed most of the people who participated in the auction and came to the door of the auction hall.

Speaking of which, the Concealment Charm is also a very magical thing. It obscures all probes of the Divine Sense, and it makes the person wearing the rune look the same, so that no one can tell who it is. The only thing that can prove the buyer's identity is the number plate that you receive at the entrance of each auction before the start of each auction.

Eighty-one is the number on the number plate that Yang Tianhong received.

The inside of the auction hall is huge. But from the outside, you can't see it at all. Yang Tianhong knew that this was actually a space similar to the Zhenling Medicine Garden. This kind of thing is not surprising, in fact, it is a deceptive effect of the external spiritual energy on the naked eye. Of course, the outside world is different from the Linglong treasure lock. If you want to create an actual scene like an auction house, it will only take the careful training of at least two Yuan Infant Stage masters to appear on the current scale. As a result, the identity of the main controller behind the auction hall is really terrifying.

After entering the auction room, each person automatically enters the room corresponding to the number plate they have obtained. There is only one exit that can be used to leave the auction hall directly. It's said to be a room, but it's actually a small, enclosed space. Here, you can see the environment of the entire auction room, as well as other characters. However, the effect is limited to the eyes, and it is impossible to really reach other buyers who participate in the auction.

Let's say you have your eye on Lot 1 and there are several people on the other side of the auction at the same time. In the end, you didn't have enough money in your pocket to buy it. Of course, he was reluctant, and even wanted to carry a knife to settle accounts with the guy opposite, threatening him to hand over what he bought honestly. But this kind of thing can only be imagined, and it is impossible to do it. The reason is simple - you can't leave until the auction is over. Even if you know the number of the other party. I can't see the other person's face and appearance. You only know that it was a certain customer who bought what he liked, but there were hundreds, if not thousands, of customers who participated in the auction. Trying to find a target among thousands of people who can't know their true faces is simply a fool's dream. Even if you are ruthless enough and strong enough to indiscriminately shout at everyone to "hand over your things", you are no match for as many as hundreds of Jindan Grandmasters.

I have to admit that the auction house is in terms of protecting guest information. It's really well done.

In the case of such strict secrecy, if something really happens like "someone buys something and someone else knows about it", then it would be a hell of a thing if the auction house really has nothing to do with it. It's like another World Bank safe deposit box was opened by a burglar and stole the precious items kept by the customer, but the bank opened its mouth to deny that its security system was faulty, and just told the customer lightly: Your things have been stolen, go to the police immediately, don't stay here and affect our business.

Yang Tianhong carefully looked at everything in the room. But he pursed his lips tightly and never said a word.

There is only one seat in the small room, and it is estimated that the room is arranged according to the number of people on the number plate.

Next to the chair is a table with snacks and tea. It looks very exquisite, especially there is a small heat preservation formation under the teacup, which can effectively control the tea from getting cold. It's just that the monks are all guys with eyes above the top, for ordinary tea tree food. It's all treated like garbage. Come to think of it, probably no one will take the initiative to touch these things.

Directly across from the seat. It's a huge window. Just in time to be able to see the lot and the person who is in charge of the auction. Other than that, the other ones are not visible. In addition, on the handle of the seat, there is also a gem-shaped bidding spirit stone. There has been a special introduction before, as long as the buyer puts his hand on it, he urges the power to activate the divine sense. You can report your own rank code to the host of the auction house.

The guests are still entering the venue. But there are already a few small things that have already started to be auctioned. Speaking of which, it's not really something else that is precious. At most, it's just used to warm up in advance, and to make these buyers who come in first not so boring. The meaning is equivalent to an advertisement before the start of the feature film in another world cinema. Although it is gorgeous, it has nothing to do with the movie itself. It will even make people sleepy when they watch it. I feel that instead of spending money to come in and be bombarded with advertisements, it is better to go outside and open a room to find a beautiful woman to have a hearty game of a thrashing war where everyone is piecing together flesh toys with each other.

The first thing to be officially auctioned was an inner pill equivalent to a demon beast in the Jindan realm.

Speaking of which, humans, monsters, and demons all compete with each other for spiritual energy. The human dantian, the monster's inner dan, and the demon clan's heart are all great tonics that can be consumed by the three clans to improve their cultivation. The words of slaying demons and destroying demons are high-sounding, but in fact, it is largely to obtain the heart of the monster Neidan and the demons. In the case of the Monster Beast Clan Golden Pill placed in the hands of the auction host, the real effect is equivalent to a five-grade Fuyuan Pill. This elixir has always been used by the Yuanying monks. It's just that if it's a monster Neidan, it's easier for low-level human monks to absorb it. If a qi practitioner eats it, his cultivation can be greatly improved. Of course, the extent of improvement is still inevitably related to one's own qualifications.

This kind of thing is actually not difficult to understand. There are similar examples in another world. For example, both children drink milk and eat bread the same, one is tall and big, and the other is thin and small, looking like a sick cat with congenital deficiencies. Monks are no exception. If a monster eats it, some people will directly break through the foundation building barrier for a big rise, and some people will be lazy and lazy, as if it is no different from eating ordinary medicinal herbs.

Speaking of which, youkai nedan is also very common. If Yang Tianhong slaughtered Huang Shiren and the ginseng spirit monster bun with one knife, he would be able to get two Neidan of quite good quality. It's just that he doesn't have to.

The monk who presided over the auction was obviously not very optimistic about this monster Neidan, and he seemed to be interested, and his tone was also very casual: "This is a fresh monster Neidan, and the price of fifty high-grade spirit stones can be started, or the same level of pills can also be used." Guys, is there anyone interested in this?"

This is actually a perfunctory attitude. Perhaps, as the organizers thought: anyway, these things are simply irrelevant to the warm-up, and even start before everyone comes in, which is obviously insignificant.

Yang Tianhong showed a hint of sarcastic ridicule on his face, and he didn't think about it, so he directly put his hand on the bidding stone on the chair and secretly reported the bottom: fifty high-grade spirit stones.

The top-grade spirit stone is equivalent to the Yuan Qi Pill. Yang Tianhong didn't have so many spirit stones in his hands, but he had an extremely large number of various pills. The auction hall recognizes the spirit stone, and also recognizes the currency of the elixir. Strictly speaking, in fact, the elixir was far more popular than the spirit stone. After all, the elixir is much more convenient to use and easy to carry. (To be continued.) )
