Jiang Dynasty, the central palace.

The defeated young man in black robe hurried through the heavy guards, and the palace guards who saw him saluted along the way, but he only stopped in front of the majestic hall, and his eyes were already showing unconcealed fear.

"Sixth Prince, you're back. The emperor has ordered, if you come back, I will let you enter the palace to face the saint, please go in. At the gate of the majestic hall, a white-haired old eunuch bent down and walked quickly to greet him: "Do you want to go in and report it?" Probe the wind. ”

"There's work over there." In the end, the black-robed man still didn't dare to enter the palace directly.

Jiang Jingwei, the first emperor of the Jiang Dynasty, was the emperor of the world and shocked the Quartet. Since the establishment of the Jiang Dynasty, he has been close to a thousand years old.

Although she does not see her old age, everyone inside and outside the imperial dynasty knows that for cultivators, Chitose is a huge threshold.

Although after arriving at the Imperial Realm, the monks' longevity is enough to support them to live for thousands of years, but between heaven and earth, there seems to be a force to maintain order, so that every cultivator who has traveled for a thousand years will experience a catastrophe.

Those who can survive the catastrophe will naturally soar into the sky, continue to survive, and even get a lot of benefits.

However, if you can't survive the calamity, then the path of cultivation for a lifetime will come to an end, and it will be difficult for you to make any progress in cultivation, and you can start to enjoy the twilight years from then on.

However, in the current chaotic world, the result of making it difficult to make an inch of progress in cultivation is undoubtedly unacceptable to the Jiang Dynasty.

This is also a way for him to find a way, even to use the crooked ways of the evil sect, Jiang Jingwei also has to find an opportunity for himself to break through the imperial realm.

At least guarantee that even if he fails to survive the catastrophe, he will be able to protect the Jiang Dynasty.

This is their biggest crisis.

And the black-robed young man in front of him, named Jiang Chao, is the son of the original queen, but fifty years ago, the queen mother died mysteriously for unknown reasons, and his father corrected Ma Mengling, and he fell from the position that originally belonged to the prince to become the sixth prince.

At the same time, after losing his mother's support in the harem, his temper became more and more irritable and eccentric, and his status also plummeted, becoming what he is now.

Fortunately, between them, in the final analysis, there is still a blood connection, if it weren't for this, Jiang Chao wouldn't have the courage to stand here.

The old eunuch who had finished reporting to the hall quickly walked out in broken steps, the look on his face was not good-looking, and the young man in the black robe chuckled in his heart.

"Sixth prince, the emperor let you in."

Seeing the old eunuch's face like this, Jiang Chao seemed to understand a lot of things at once, and he could only accept his failure in his heart.

No matter what kind of changes he encounters, he will fail after all, and the loser has no reason to quibble, and the successful person has the capital to be proud.

Jiang Chao gritted his teeth, and finally set off to walk into the hall, and the old eunuch looked at his figure and couldn't help but shake his head.

After entering the main hall, after seeing the burly and heroic figure sitting on the dragon chair for the first time, Jiang Chao's heart tightened, he walked forward quickly, knelt down in the hall, and said straight to the point: "Father, the child is not filial, and he failed to recover the queen mother, and let the people who have the Zhao Emperor's Dynasty Tianji Pavilion save him and take him away." ”

"You don't have to worry about this matter, and let your third brother take over, I know that you can't make a big deal, what is the situation of your recent cultivation, why haven't you broken through the virtual realm?" Jiang Jingwei looked at him, although he was not as cold as the previous high priest, he didn't have much emotion, he just glanced up and closed his eyes.

"You've been cultivating in the Qingxuan Realm for almost five years, and I've given you the best cultivation resources in the world, and you're using this to repay me and prove yourself to me? You're a lot worse than your brothers. ”

Jiang Chao trembled and said: "The child has indeed encountered some problems in the path of cultivation, but it will be solved soon, please rest assured." ”

The atmosphere between the two was just about to enter the freezing point, when suddenly, the voice of the eunuch at the door came in from outside the door again: "Your Majesty, the third prince asks to see you." ”

Jiang Jingwei opened his eyes, his eyes were slightly bright, Jiang Chao's face suddenly became ugly, and then, Jiang Huang, who was sitting on the dragon chair in the main hall, once again agreed: "Let him come in." ”

"Eh, the sixth brother is back, looking at this, he must have disappointed his father again, don't be angry, so as not to hurt your body."

With a voice coming in from outside the door, a man who looked like he was thirty or forty years old, a man dressed in a gold-patterned robe walked in quickly, and when he saw Jiang Chao kneeling on the ground, he did not fall into the well for the first time, and said:

"Father, the child has already asked people to check, according to the news I got from the Hidden Dragon Guard, the one who rescued us is the pavilion master who just served as the Tianji Pavilion branch of Guangling County, I have buried a chess piece in Guangling County, at this time, it can be used, it is very helpful for the pursuit."

Jiang Jingwei's face, which had always been full of majesty, was barely eased a little, and he looked at the figure that His Highness had just walked in, his eyes showed a little appreciation, and he said bluntly: "My father is just about to hand over this matter to you, don't let your father be disappointed again." ”

"Father, the child thinks that the ins and outs of this matter, and the relevant details in it, are still more clear to the sixth brother, and the child can naturally come forward, but if this is successful, wouldn't it make the sixth brother hang up the charge of incompetence, I don't know this matter, or the sixth brother is responsible, and the child assists him to complete it, this is what everyone is happy about."

Jiang Chao's face gradually changed color when he heard this, he was not stupid, many things could be very clear with a little thought, but he didn't like this kind of fratricidal intrigue, otherwise he wouldn't know that he would become a member of a secret organization like Hidden Dragon Guard.

Now that his third brother has appeared, these words made him feel funny, "The third brother is really calculating, this opening will lock the sixth brother to help you be a scapegoat, and you are worthy of being the third brother." ”

The third prince's face remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "Eh, why does the sixth brother talk like this, you are now with manpower but you have encountered difficulties, I now have no manpower and only resources, we can cooperate to achieve a win-win situation, isn't this the best of both worlds?" can still share the worries of his father, why not? ”

Zhou Jingwei's eyes were cold, and even he didn't know when it started, he was becoming more and more disgusted with this upright child, and said emotionlessly: "Sixth, you get out first, and I will have someone send the next plan and order to your house in a while." ”

Maybe after walking with the devil for a long time, you will become a devil yourself.

Jiang Chao didn't say anything about Madame Ma's broken body, probably because his own heart was also very entangled, or fundamentally, he hoped that Madame Ma could come back and continue to be his mother, or die in this noble palace, rather than die in a corner that no one might know.

However, his complicated and unspeakable situation can only be buried in his heart after all, and he can't let a third person know about it except himself.

The reason why he did not choose to be pampered in the palace, but chose to become a hidden dragon guard, maybe no one knows, his original ideal, or want to repair this porous dynasty, Jiang Jingwei is an emperor who expands the territory, but it is by no means an emperor who uses people to govern well.

As a son, he naturally has the responsibility and obligation to do what he can for the royal family, but everything is far from being as simple as Jiang Chao imagined.

He has tried his best over the years, but it is still difficult to make any changes in the dynasty, and no one knows how much responsibility and pressure he has on his shoulders as a prince who is not valued, and how much heaviness, responsibility and hesitation are buried in his heart where no one can see......

Although, he is not perfect, and even full of criticism.
