Early the next morning, Lu Yuan led the soldiers and horses of the 1st to 5th Divisions of the Royal Knights into Heaven Dou City. Diaphragm

They were holding the Royal Knights token, and even the guards of the gate of Heaven Dou City were quite respectful.

After all, the Royal Knights are the elite of the elite in the Heaven Dou Empire, and even if they are royal guards, their status is not as good as these members of the Royal Knights, who can be called one in a hundred in the Heaven Dou army.

Lu Yuan led the team in front of these royal knights, who were one in a hundred, and he was dressed differently from the knights of the royal knights.

The knights of the Royal Knights were wearing lightly armored stomachs, the armor stomachs on their bodies were stacked like fish scales, they wore long knives around their waists, and they carried real spears behind their backs.

The knights of the Royal Knights exuded a majestic and solemn momentum, and under the leadership of Lu Yuan, they went to the palace.

In front of these light-armored knights, Lu Yuan was wearing a capable moon-white luxurious robe, and he did not wear any armor and weapons, and what attracted the attention of passers-by the most was his strange and handsome appearance.

Lu Yuan led the five commanders and the five soldiers and horses, and he was not in a hurry to rush to the Heaven Dou Palace, after all, there was still a long time before the real "duty" time. Diaphragm

Even if they arrived early, Qian Lingxue hadn't come out to inspect the affairs of Heaven Dou City, so they still had to wait honestly outside the palace.

They were walking down the street when suddenly they were greeted by the sound of horses' hoofs.

Lu Yuan frowned, unless there was something urgent in Heaven Dou City, he shouldn't be able to gallop in the city.

But soon, more than a dozen oncoming riders will already occupy the aisle.

Running, dusty.

The pedestrians walking on the road hurriedly dispersed to dodge, and for a time the originally wide street was full of chickens and dogs.

At this time, more than ten horsemen on the opposite side were caught off guard and rushed to the place where Lu Yuan was and more than 500 people were. Diaphragm

The knight on the opposite side obviously also saw Lu Yuan and the others, more than five hundred armored cavalry, and no one dared to provoke them.

So, the knight at the head was frightened and tried to restrain the horse's head, but the Heavenly Soul Horse under him was caught off guard and flew towards the side of the road!

On both sides of the road, there were the residents of Heaven Dou City who had already dodged to the side, they didn't expect that in this case, it would actually affect them!

"Get out of the way!" The other knights also planned to dodge the more than five hundred royal knights of Lu Yuan, so more than a dozen Heavenly Soul Horses rushed towards the residents of Heaven Dou City on both sides of the road!

What will happen if a dozen horses rush into ordinary people?

Especially this is still a Heavenly Soul Horse with some soul beast bloodlines, and its strength and speed are far beyond ordinary horses!

Under the impact of the Heavenly Soul Horse, these ordinary people would probably be seriously injured or even killed on the spot! Diaphragm

Many ordinary residents exclaimed in surprise, and even some of them who were more timid couldn't help but cover their eyes at this time, not wanting to see the bloody scene that was about to happen.

At this moment, Lu Yuan snorted coldly, "Everyone, look up to me, look up to your savior!" ”

The Death Star Demon Scythe appeared in his hand with his voice, and then the third soul ring on Lu Yuan's body lit up.

"Third Soul Skill, Shadow Curse." Lu Yuan said surgingly.

In the next moment, countless shadow hands that seemed to be like substance stretched out from the shadows under the hooves of the dozen or so Heavenly Soul Horses, firmly restraining their uncontrollable tall bodies.

Then, the hand of shadow retracted, and more than a dozen horses directly turned over under the inertia of power, and at the same time, more than a dozen knights on the horses were thrown out almost at the same time.

Pedestrians on both sides of the road have a lot of heart

At this time, when I saw this scene, there was already an exclamation all around.

Most of the civilians who watched the excitement showed happiness in their eyes, but many more were in a state of terror, because most of these knights were wearing the clothes of the Royal Praetorian Guard.

The Imperial Praetorian Guard is the core warrior of the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family, and each one has been carefully selected.

Those above the level of squad leader are all composed of soul masters.

For the Heaven Dou Empire, where the number of soul masters was not very large, this was definitely the elite of the elite.

The Royal Praetorian Guard is responsible for protecting the members of the royal family and the safety of the court, unless it is to the point of imminent extinction, otherwise the Royal Janissary generally does not appear on the battlefield of foreign wars.

But soon, the civilians who watched the excitement saw Lu Yuan and the others, and from their clothes, they recognized Lu Yuan and the others as from the Royal Knights. Diaphragm

In an instant, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, the elite level of the Royal Knights is actually higher than that of the Royal Praetorian Guard, after all, in addition to guarding Heaven Dou City and the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, the Royal Knights are also responsible for deterring the principalities and kingdoms to which the Heaven Dou Empire belongs.

Even rebellions within the empire were the responsibility of the Royal Knights.

The Royal Knights are nominally on an equal footing with the Royal Janissaries, but they may be a little more powerful because the Royal Janissaries are responsible for the day-to-day security of the royal family.

This is actually similar to the investigation corps and the gendarmerie corps of the three major corps in a certain giant, although they are nominally equal, in fact, the corps responsible for the security of the royal family will have more power.

After all, the truth of the five officials in front of the prime minister's door.

At this time, a group of royal guards fell into a row, and one of them got up from the ground reluctantly, "Bastard, kill him for me." "Ahh

As he spoke, not weak soul power fluctuations erupted from the speaker's body, and the martial soul possessed him.

This man was the only one of the knights who did not wear Praetorian armor, and looked to be dressed in fine clothes, about thirty years old.

This person Lu Yuan naturally knows, in the past, in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, there was no less evil, and those who could make enemies with Lu Yuan, the entire Heaven Dou Royal Academy could not find a few, and the answer was self-evident......

It was the avalanche of the four princes of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Two yellow and one purple, a total of three soul rings appeared on Avalanche's body, born in the royal family, his soul ring is naturally the best match.

It's just that at the age of twenty-five, he still only has more than thirty levels of soul power, even if he cultivates hard in the future, it will be impossible for him to break through to the level of Title Douluo for the rest of his life.

Lu Yuan hadn't seen this person for a long time, and Avalanche had also graduated directly from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy this year, but it seemed that the exaggeration on the surface of Avalanche after graduating from the academy had no intention of restraining at all. Diaphragm

He naturally knew why the avalanche was still so pompous and sloppy, but he didn't plan to get used to it.

Lu Yuan stood in front of the avalanche and sneered, "Avalanche, you are still the same, you haven't grown at all!" ”

The royal guards quickly got up from the ground, surrounded the avalanche in the center, and cautiously stared at Lu Yuan with a nervous look on their faces.

Lu Yuan was not an unknown person in Heaven Dou City, on the contrary, his name and deeds had reached the level that everyone knew and knew in Heaven Dou City during this time.

"Do it, you bunch of shit." Avalanche shouted loudly, none of these royal guards with him were soul masters, so naturally they didn't dare to step forward to send them to death.

In fact, he was just performing an arrogant and brainless posture to show Lu Yuan and the Qianrenxue behind Lu Yuan, and he didn't really want his subordinates to die.

At this time, the royal knights behind Lu Yuan also recognized the identity of the prince of Avalanche. Diaphragm

"General...... We ......," one of Lu Yuan's commanders stepped forward and said.

"Worried about what?" Lu Yuan turned around and shouted, "We are only loyal to Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, even if he wants to blame, it will be borne by Ben Hou alone!" ”

"Yes, General." The Commander had no choice but to retreat.

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he continued to look at the enclosed avalanche, and said in a surging voice, "I really don't know how Your Highness can have such a younger brother as you, lawless and arrogant, and galloping in Heaven Dou City, almost causing casualties. ”

Avalanche roared loudly, "I'm my father's child, what can I do in this Heavenly Dou City?!" What is a few civilians?! ”

"It's you, Lu Yuan, I'm the fourth prince of the empire, you should salute me!

！ ”

Lu Yuan smiled contemptuously, "You have been talking to me about this set of rhetoric for several years, and there is nothing new at all, sorry, I said that your avalanche is not worthy of me to salute you." "Ahh

"You weren't qualified before, you're even less qualified now, and you're even less likely to be qualified in the future!"

"Now, get out of here!"

Lu Yuan's terrifying aura exploded in an instant, directly pressing towards Avalanche and the royal guards beside him.

It seems to come from the killing breath of the apocalypse, which makes Avalanche and the others a little breathless.

The royal guards led by "Your Highness ......" grabbed the avalanche that seemed to be stunned at this time, and then quickly retreated to the right side of the road.

The other royal guards were relieved, and retreated to the side of the avalanche.

Avalanche's face was full of horror, as if he was scared stupid, and let the royal guards guard him to make way for Lu Yuan. Diaphragm

Lu Yuan didn't even look at him, as if the avalanche was not the four princes of the empire in his eyes, but an irrelevant piece of sand.

He immediately led the Royal Knights to continue marching towards the palace, and soon, under his leadership, more than five hundred royal knights were far away from the sight of Avalanche and others.

"Your Highness." At this time, the royal guard looked at the avalanche on the side with relief.

"Your Highness, please forgive your ministers for the crime of disobeying orders." At this time, they knelt down again in terror towards the avalanche.

At this moment, to their surprise, the avalanche at this time did not blame them at all, and even the horror on their faces just now seemed to have never existed.

"Get up, I don't blame you." He said in a surging voice.

"Your Highness!" Although they were very puzzled as to why the avalanche looked so strange at this moment, they all got up with relief after receiving the answer that the avalanche did not blame them. Diaphragm

At this time, Avalanche looked at the direction where Lu Yuan was going, and said softly, "Interesting...... Loyal only to His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Your Majesty is in front, which means that you will be more loyal to the Emperor? ”

"Lu Yuan, you are very strong, but you will be loyal to me in the future." There was a bit of smugness and confidence in his eyes.

"For the sake of my empire, continue to grow stronger!"

……

Avalanche's thoughts, Lu Yuan didn't know.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't take it seriously, loyalty?

It's just kidding, in this world, no one is worthy of Lu Yuan's loyalty. Diaphragm

He wants to realize his own majestic ambitions, not become a stepping stone to the majestic ambitions of others.

Soon, Lu Yuan led five hundred royal knights to the west school field outside the Heaven Dou Palace, and five hundred royal knights were stationed outside the palace.

And Lu Yuan and the five commanders came to wait outside the palace gate, and soon "Xue Qinghe" appeared outside the palace.

Today's Qianrenxue once again returned to an ordinary outfit, wearing a simple green coat, which looked quite rough, and there was not even a little gold and jade decoration on the green clothes.

Compared with Lu Yuan's rather low-key white robe, it was a little plain, and she obviously planned to travel low-key today.

"See Your Highness!" Lu Yuan led the five commanders and saluted to Qianyue and said.

"No courtesy." Qian Lingxue smiled slightly, and waved her hand in a very gentlemanly manner. Diaphragm

Only then did Lu Yuan and the others straighten up, and Qian Lingxue also said to several palace guards behind him, "You guys go back first, today's trip will be in charge of the Heavenly Shadow Marquis." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." The palace guards saluted and retreated to the palace.

"Celestial Shadow, let's go." Qian Lingxue came over at this time, smiled at Lu Yuan, and said.

Lu Yuan nodded suddenly, and followed behind Qian Lingxue, and at the same time, the five commanders also followed behind him, forming a relatively special-looking protection team.

The seven of them walked outside the palace together, where did Qianyue go, Lu Yuan and the others didn't ask.

"Brother Lu Yuan." At this moment, Qian Lingxue chuckled lightly and began to talk to Lu Yuan.

"Your Highness is very loved, let's call it the Marquis of Heavenly Shadow or my full name." Lu Yuan hurriedly said. Diaphragm

Qian Lingxue smiled slightly, "Then I'll call you by your full name, Lu Yuan, do you know where we're going next." ”

"The duty of the subordinates is to protect His Highness, and His Highness is not something that His Highness can ask about." Lu Yuan said surgingly.

"But it's still necessary to talk to you, isn't it?" Qian Lingxue pretended to smile helplessly, "I don't think we need to be so restrained between us, let's talk like normal friends." ”

"Lu Yuan, I want to ask you, in your opinion, where is the foundation of the empire?" She asked, smiling.

Lu Yuan pondered for a while, not knowing what Qian Lingxue was asking him for.

But he still chose to reply seriously, "I think that the foundation of the empire lies in the people, and the country is people-oriented, whether it is a soul master or an ordinary army, in fact, it was originally from ordinary people." ”

"Even if the so-called sects and clans are like this, they were not born noble at the beginning, but they also had powerful martial spirits from a certain generation, and then accumulated power and fame from generation to generation, so that they have their current status." Diaphragm

"It can be seen from this that the basis of the rule of any country and force is actually ordinary people."

"So the foundation of empire lies in the word 'man'."

Qian Lingxue was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Lu Yuan to say that the root of the empire is people, and even he didn't say that it was a soul master, but that it was just a person, an ordinary person.

After all, in the world of Douluo Continent with fantasy power, the strength of ordinary people is too weak.

Less than five percent of the soul masters in the entire continent combined are already completely able to dominate the remaining ninety-five percent of ordinary people, so it seems that the life or death of ordinary people does not matter at all.

Qian Lingxue was a little surprised, and Lu Yuan would say that ordinary people are very important.

"You have a point." She smiled and nodded quietly, "The country is people-oriented, and people are based on food and clothing, but ah, to this day, there are still many people in the empire who lack food and clothing...... This makes Gu feel very sad. "Ahh

"In particular, I found out that there are a lot of insects in the empire!" When Qian Ling Xue said this, she said coldly, "It is precisely because of these insects that the imperial treasury will be stretched!" ”

"It's not because my father wants to reward you after winning the championship, but I can't find that there are so many insects in this empire!" At this time, she showed the appearance of resentment for the corrupt ministers of the empire.

This made the five commanders behind Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really a first-class Ming Jun!

"Your Highness." At this moment, Lu Yuan shook his head and said, "The people of the empire lack food and clothing, and the treasury is stretched. ”

"It is important to know that although it is important to reduce expenditure, it does not solve the problem, and only open source can support the operation of the empire's treasury."

"In such a situation, only by vigorously persuading the cultivation of agriculture and cultivating a culture of attaching importance to agriculture and mulberry will the empire continue to prosper."

Lu Yuan didn't say this casually, although it seemed that Douluo Continent was a country with abundant food and clothing, peaceful and prosperous times, but in fact, it was in this world like the medieval era of the previous life without the blessing of science and technology. Diaphragm

Technology is not a derogatory term here, but a pure compliment.

Agriculture is very important, because hunger can really kill people, and in the era of small-scale peasant economy, the problem of food and clothing for the people at the bottom depends on God's will.

It is only in the modern era with the blessing of science and technology, through the cultivation of high-yield crops and scientific and technological production, that this problem is basically solved.

"Now the empire is thriving, but with all due respect." Lu Yuan paused, "Although the martial style can ensure the stability of the country, in a peaceful and prosperous era, it is necessary to suppress the martial style and advocate pragmatism. ”

Qian Lingxue didn't expect Lu Yuan to be able to say such a dry suggestion, and suddenly she said with a smile, "Haha, Tianying Hou is really a young hero, not only is his cultivation outstanding, but even national affairs can share worries for me and my father." ”

"Don't dare." Lu Yuan clenched his fists and said.

"Lu Yuan!" At this time, Qian Lingxue put her hand on his shoulder. Diaphragm

Lu Yuan raised his head.

Qian Ling Xue smiled and said, "After I ascend the throne, I will definitely reuse you!" ”

"When the time comes, you and I, the monarch and the minister, will work together to create a powerful empire!"

Lu Yuan hurriedly pretended to be grateful and said, "The minister will die for His Highness!" ”

Qian Lingxue was quite satisfied when she saw this, she actually wanted to continue to use this to make Lu Yuan trust her more and be more desperate, so that she could plan in the future.

And Lu Yuan's eyes also flashed with a glimmer of light at this time, how could he not know that Qian Lingxue was acting.

In fact, he is also cooperating with acting. Diaphragm

At this moment, the two actors had another confrontation that outsiders couldn't understand, and with Qian Lingxue and Lu Yuan talking, they also walked far away, and finally stopped in front of a huge mansion.
