Longshan has been arranging military affairs in Longcheng for the past few days, because most of the army is in Xuanyinguan, so he quickly arranged the affairs of Longcheng. The next thing is to prepare for the Ming Imperial City, and Long Shan is going to take a team to the Imperial City with the caravan converted into the army by Princess Ming Yao.

After Long Shan and Zhang Chong selected the team to go to the Imperial City, they also went to Duanmu Minghuo to tell him about going to the Imperial City this time, to see if he went with him, Duanmu Minghuo was studying the method of cultivating magic, trying to improve his magic power, hoping to become a great mage, so he rejected Long Shan.

Long Shan had no choice but to entrust him with the important military affairs of Long Cheng.

After everything was arranged, he had already decided with Princess Ming Yao to set off early the next morning. Tonight, Long Shan called Long Fist and Long Ming to the study, in fact, he was most worried about these two sons, because they both seemed to be a little abnormal recently, but they didn't know what the problem was.

Long Fist heard that Princess Ming Yao was going back to the imperial city, and wanted to go with Long Shan, but Long Shan never agreed. Long Ming had an indifferent attitude towards this matter.

Long Fist hopes to convince Long Shan tonight to let him go to Ming Huang City as well. So as soon as he and Long Ming came to the study, they asked, "Father, have you thought about it, will I go to the imperial city with you this time?"

Long Shan put down the book in his hand, stood up and said, "Why do you want to go to the Imperial City so much?"

The Dragon Fist is naturally because of Princess Ming Yao, but he must not say so, and said: "Father, neither Brother Ming nor I have been to the Imperial City, why don't you take this opportunity for us to meet His Majesty Ming Huang?"

Long Shan waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't think I don't know what you're thinking, I haven't settled accounts with you about the matter between you and the princess of the Xinye Empire last time." Speaking of this, he looked at Long Ming again: "And Ming'er, too, I thought that you would be honest after marrying Helian Ziyun, but I didn't expect that you would still die and not change." Listen, I don't care what you've been doing lately, don't think about going to the Imperial City this time, I have something to 'hand' over to you after I leave. ”

Long Fist hurriedly said: "But my father ......"

"Don't say it!" Long Shan interrupted him and sighed: "Your affair with the princess of the Heart Ambition Empire reminds me of your eldest sister's matter, don't forget what era and situation it is now. ”

Speaking of their eldest sister Long Ji, they have never seen each other when they came to the Tianxuan Continent, and only after searching their memories did they know that their eldest sister was in love with Ling Feng, the fourth prince of the Lingyun Empire, when she was studying magic in Tianxuan Academy, but the relationship between the Minglong Empire and the Minglong Empire was also very tense, and after they were opposed and punished by their elders many times, they had no choice but to 'elope', and now they don't know where they went.

Dragon Fist looked dejected when he heard this.

Long Shan continued: "The matter that was 'handed over' to you this time is considered a task, and when I came back, I found that it was not done well, and I will not spare it. Speaking of this, Long Shan looked at Long Fist: "Fist." ”

"In. Seeing that Long Shan had become so serious, Long Fist didn't dare to disobey it anymore.

"During this time, in addition to training the recruits in the camp, there is another important thing to 'hand' over to you, almost a month later, it will be time for us to recruit troops from Tianxuan Academy, every year I go there in person, and recruit a lot of talents for the army, but there are not many people in Tianxuan Academy who are really willing to join the army in the frontier, most of them want to be officials in the imperial city, so it depends on what method you use to persuade them. The people who can study in Tianxuan Academy are either geniuses or powerful people in their families, and they are all arrogant, and it is difficult to recruit them, so I don't ask too much, you can recruit five warriors and magicians above level 7 respectively this time. ”

Tianxuan Academy is located in Minglong, Xinye, Lingyun three empires 'cross', has a long history, the situation on the Tianxuan continent has changed, the empire is divided and divided, but this school has been standing, there are students from all countries on the mainland, most of the martial arts and magic on the continent come from here, due to the current 'melee' war in various countries, many people who come here to study, originally classmates, but after graduation, they have become enemies of each other. Long Fist and Long Ming also used to study here, because they were the sons of the marshal, and they also tried to avoid contact with the cadets of other empires when they were studying at the academy.

Long Shan put his hands behind his back and looked at Long Fist: "Can you do it?"

"No problem, I'll get the job done. Long Fist agreed, recruiting talents used to be his forte.

"Okay!" Long Shan turned his head to look at Long Ming: "Ming'er." ”

"Father. Long Ming took a step forward.

"The task 'handed' to you is very simple, that is, to refine the Qi Gathering Pill. Long Shan took out a piece of paper, "This is written on the 'medicine' and refining method required for the Qi Gathering Pill, and you will burn it after you memorize it." ”

Long Ming took the note and said: "Father, refining the pill 'medicine' is simple, do we need so much, the raw materials for refining the Qi Gathering Pill are very difficult to find, and didn't you say that the Qi Gathering Pill is also very harmful to the body." ”

"I also know this, our ancestor was a strong man in the dual cultivation of demon and martial arts, he studied the Qi Gathering Pill to help him cultivate his fighting qi, and then finally cultivated to the ultimate warrior, and made great contributions to the Minglong Empire's southern and northern wars. And our descendants have also received the benefits of the Qi Gathering Pill, so they have become famous generals from generation to generation, but then no one has cultivated to the ultimate warrior, some of our Long Clan disciples have almost died because of the Qi Gathering Pill, the Qi Gathering Pill 'medicine' power is too domineering, not anyone can use it, after taking it, the internal organs will be damaged to varying degrees, if the fighting qi is improved after use, this damage can be reduced, but many people have not been able to use it. You can't stand the cultivation of the internal organs with the power of medicine, so this is also the reason why I have not allowed you to take the Qi Gathering Pill, I want you to concentrate on cultivating magic, and simply cultivate a little fighting qi to strengthen your body. ”

After a pause, Long Shan continued: "And Fist is different, he was born with the material for cultivating Dou Qi, but his magic induction is not good, and I don't expect any of you to become a strong man in Demon Martial Arts now." The Qi Gathering Pill is not something that can be refined by any ordinary magic 'potion' potist, and if I am not a fire-type intermediate magician, I am not sure. The fist does not know magic, and the matter of refining the Qi Gathering Pill will be 'handed over' to you in the future, and with your strength, you should be able to refine it soon. Although the Qi Gathering Pill is very harmful to the body, it is also indispensable for us. Ming'er, this time it's not about how many pills you refine, you just need to master the method of refining 'medicine' and refine a bottle of Qi Gathering Pill. ”

"Good father, I will do it. Long Ming agreed.

After Long Shan 'handed over' some more matters to them, Long Fist and Long Ming left the study. Thinking that he was about to be separated from Princess Ming Yao, Long Fist felt that he didn't feel good in his heart, and he didn't know when he would be able to meet this time.

Long Fist came to the courtyard where Princess Ming Yao lived again, although he used to be very indifferent to the 'female' person on the earth, but now he doesn't know why he can't let go of this princess.

It was still early, and the princess did not sleep. I was a little surprised by the sudden arrival of the Dragon Fist: "Is there anything wrong with you?"

Long Fist sighed and said, "I didn't want to disturb His Highness's rest, but His Highness is leaving tomorrow, and if I don't say something, I'm afraid I won't have a chance." ”

The princess's bright eyes looked at him with a look of contempt: "What?"

Long Fist smiled and said: "No matter what you think of me now, I have to tell you, these political and military affairs are not as simple as you think, I don't know why you like to participate in politics so much, if you really deal with military and political affairs, you will definitely not be able to do it alone." ”

The princess's pretty face was slightly angry: "Who said that I am alone, there are many people who help me." ”

Long Fist shook his head, looked at the princess with great firmness, and said, "Few of them really help you, and they can't help you." If there is one person in this world who can help you, it must be me. I have a feeling that something must have happened in the Imperial City, otherwise you wouldn't be in such a hurry. If anything happens, I want you to come to me. ”

The princess was stared at by the dragon fist, and the determined eyes of the dragon fist made her heart tremble as if there was some kind of magic power, and when she heard this, she deliberately frowned, "Just you, I don't see what you are capable of." ”

Long Fist looked at her beautiful eyes and said, "You will come to me." ”

The princess couldn't stand it a little, looked away, and said, "I don't know what you're talking about, do you have anything else, you can leave if you have nothing to do." ”

Long Fist shrugged: "Okay, then don't disturb Your Highness." With that, he turned and left.

As soon as the dragon fist left, I don't know why, Princess Ming Yao suddenly felt very lost. He shook his head vigorously and said, "This dragon fist is really annoying. ”

Everything went according to plan, and the next morning in Longshan, Zhang Chong led the army to the imperial city with the princess. The Ming Emperor City is thousands of miles away from the Dragon City, it is not a day or two to arrive, out of the Hanging Sound Province and through the 'desire' Province, and then enter the Ming Emperor Province and walk a distance, and finally arrive at the Ming Emperor City. Previously, Princess Ming Yao came to Longcheng from the imperial city to change the army into a caravan, and now the army dress has been restored, plus a team led by Long Shan, there are almost 10,000 horses.

The Minglong Empire is a powerful country in the Tianxuan Continent, with a vast territory, but the empire has not been established for a long time, and like the Lingyun Empire and the Heart Ambition Empire, it was established in the 'melee' war after the division of the original Tianxuan Empire, and the Sonorous Empire and the Concubines Empire both relied on the conquest of remote nomads to obtain land. Due to the frontier 'mixed' war, the Minglong Empire chose the imperial capital in the Minghuang Province far away from the frontier, and now many place names are newly taken after the establishment of the empire, the Minghuang Province is the largest province of the Minglong Empire, part of the boundary is the coastline, the climate here is pleasant, the terrain is flat. However, the imperial city was still close to the interior, and it could not be too remote as the political center of the empire.

The imperial palace in the imperial city is also built after the establishment of the empire, located in the west of the imperial city, the building is majestic, magnificent, here live the imperial relatives of the Ming Dragon Empire, there is a meeting hall in the front, every day His Majesty the Ming Emperor will discuss with the military generals here, now most of the generals are guarding the frontier, so there are more civil officials.

Today, in the same way, His Majesty the Ming Emperor was sitting directly above the entrance facing the 'gate', with Murong Hei, the prime minister of the hundred officials, standing on the right side, and the ministers all standing below. His Majesty Emperor Ming's temperament does not look good, slightly sickly, but his resolute face, serious expression, and bright eyes do not lose the demeanor of the king of a country.

He closed a document and said, "Okay, let's step down if there's nothing to do today." He waved his hand to his courtiers, as if he didn't want to say more.

"Yes, Your Majesty. The officials walked out of the hall in unison. But there is a person who stood in place and did not move, he is the prime minister Murong Hei, he is dressed in a black robe, his demeanor is calm, his eyes are deep, at a glance, he knows that he is a 'shrewd' and capable, and his heart has ups and downs, he approached His Majesty the Ming Emperor at this time.

Emperor Ming looked at him and said, "Is there anything else?"

Murong **: "Your Majesty, the princess already has news. Now I'm rushing back from Dragon City. ”

Emperor Ming sighed and said, "Ming Yao, this girl has never disappointed me, and this time it's the same, Longshan should come together, right?"

Murong **: "This is natural, their men and horses will arrive in the imperial city soon." ”

Emperor Ming slowly stood up, and the two 'servants' and 'women' came to support him, and he said: "If I hadn't been in better and worse health, I wouldn't have been in a hurry to let Longshan come back, after all, the Heart Ambition Empire has been storming the Hanging Yin Pass in the past few years, and without him, I'm really a little worried." ”

Murong **: "The terrain of Hangyin Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the empire is now strong and strong, and famous generals are like clouds. Can't rely too much on Longshan, in recent years, he has often used the War of Resistance as an excuse to expand his army, but he has never seen him capture the city of the Xinye Empire, and I don't know what will happen if it goes on like this. ”

Emperor Ming took two steps, coughed, and said, "The Long family army has guarded the frontier for the empire for generations, not to mention that the situation is not good now, I really can't figure it out." ”

Murong Hei looked at Emperor Ming and said, "It is precisely because over the years that the Long Family Army has established great prestige that His Majesty should be more vigilant, not to mention that the ancestors have a word, Your Majesty must always be ......."

Emperor Ming interrupted: "Okay, it's hard to make a conclusion now, let's wait for him to come and see." ”

Unexpectedly, Emperor Ming asked Long Shan to come back because he was suspicious of him, and Long Shan and the others didn't know how to feel when they heard their conversation. Murong Hei saw that Emperor Ming didn't want to mention the matter of Longshan anymore, so he didn't say anything more.

"Cough, cough..."Emperor Ming coughed twice. Seeing this, Murong Hei said, "Your Majesty, your cough seems to have worsened recently, why don't Weichen give you a few 'medicines'." "Murong Hei is an earth-based demon master, and he also has a lot of research on magical 'medicine', and Emperor Ming often takes the 'medicine' he dispenses, and it also has a certain effect after taking it, but his body does not heal.

"It's okay, my body is really getting worse and worse, and Zhi'er is still young, if it weren't for you and Yaoyao to share my worries, I really don't know what to do. Emperor Ming sighed.

Murong **: "Your Majesty is too worried, Weichen has developed a new 'medicine', Your Majesty is blessed with Qitian, I believe that my body will get better after taking it." ”

Emperor Ming said: "I hope so, Zhi'er, you teach me a lot, I am very heartfelt, and in the future, I don't know if he can take it by handing it over." ”

The crown prince is wise, and he is only ten years old now.

Murong **: "Your Majesty, rest assured, Weichen is doing his best, the prince has been smart since he was a child, and he will definitely be a wise monarch in the future." ”

Emperor Ming said: "Well, okay, you can also step down, I am also tired." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Murong Hei also walked out of the meeting hall.
