One day later, the capital, the Taihe Palace.

Pan Longzhu stood in all directions, and the five-clawed golden dragon coiled, swimming slowly. The void stone paves the ground, circulating the brilliance, reflecting the entire Wu'an world.

Jiuhua stone, the top of the clouds, straight to the sky, shining, dazzling. The civil and military classes stand together, and at a glance, they can't see their tails.

The main hall is magnificent, the grand hall is magnificent!

This place is also known as the Jinluan Palace, which is the temple of Wu'an Kingdom.

At the top, on the golden carved dragon chair, sitting upright is the emperor of the entire Wu'an Kingdom, Qin Shang.

He was more than ten feet tall and burly and domineering. Dressed in a nine-dragon robe, his eyes are like electricity, and he is not angry and self-assured.

This person is the emperor who has ruled the Wu'an Kingdom for a hundred years, the master of the 108,000 states, and the supreme existence of the entire Wu'an Kingdom.

"A dust, read!"

The sound is like a bell, although it is calm, but it is also like a thunderclap on the ground.

A warrior walked out and saluted Qin Shang with a fist.

The warrior does not kneel, which is the founding gift of the martial arts. Then the warrior named Yichen said loudly: "Yesterday, Shenhua Wei Yisu reported. The four major demons under the Heavenly Demon Valley took the heart of darkness in Yuhua Mountain, Donghua Prefecture, and escaped, and have now disappeared without a trace. ”

Before the words fell, the officials of the civil and military classes began to whisper earnestly.

With a wave of his hand, Yichen injected a ray of light into the void stone on the ground, and the next scene began to unfold rapidly.

If Lu Fan was here, he would definitely be able to recognize that these scenes were the battles of Yuhua Mountain and Yunhai City that he had experienced.

It's just that it's obviously something extracted from his memory, why did it become a bird's-eye perspective, looking back on all the qiē.

The crowd shut down and watched in silence.

After a while, the picture disappears, and a qiē returns to calm.

The voice of Emperor Qin Shang rang out.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think? ”

A general in armor stood up and said loudly: "Demon cultivation is rampant, such a thing as wanting to slaughter the city. Wu Anguo has not been seen for more than ten years. The minister thought that he should immediately order the arrest of the demon cultivators, and all those who had demonic energy would be slaughtered. Then send the Shenhuawei elite to hunt down and kill the demon cultivator, and use a two-pronged approach to eliminate future troubles once and for all. ”

Qin Shang didn't speak, just waved his hand to let him retreat.

"Which other Aiqing is offering advice?"

Qin Shang looked at everyone condescendingly, and his big eyes took in the entire Taihe Palace.

An old man walked out and said, "This is unusual. In my country, the four seas have been peaceful for a long time, the demon cultivation is extinct, and the wild beasts have retreated. Now, the four major demons gathered in one place at the same time to seize something, and they were even ready to brave the world's condemnation and slaughter the city to seal the letter. This shows that what they have robbed is extraordinary. I'm afraid that those demon cultivators who have been in peace for a long time are going to make big moves again. It is imperative to find out what they want to do first. ”

Qin Shang nodded slowly, obviously agreeing with what the old man said.

Turning his head, Qin Shang looked at a young man standing at the front and said, "Yun'er, what do you think?"

This person is Qin Yun, the crown prince of Wu'anguo, strode out, Qin Yun smiled confidently, and said with a light smile: "Father, although the son is shallow, he has read a few miscellaneous books. I just happened to know what these demon cultivators were going to do. ”

"Oh?"

Qin Shang said with a little surprise: "Then you can talk about it." ”

Qin Yun said: "I watched the scene just now, and one of the demon cultivators had his heart exposed. If I'm not mistaken, it must be the Heart of Darkness, the treasure of demonic cultivation. This thing comes from chaos and has a special ability, which can increase the cultivation of demons. It can prolong life and allow demon cultivation to escape the world for thousands of years. But this thing is just a small treasure, for those demon cultivators who have not entered the creation process, of course, it is a battleground thing, but for the real powerhouse, it is not enough. I look at the picture, there is a person, a sword will leave a sword mark on it, think if it is a different person, such as Mr. Yiming in Shenhua Weizhong, I am afraid it will be broken. As for the slaughter of the city, hehe, isn't this the usual method of demon cultivation? In the opinion of the sons, this matter can be handed over to Jiuhuawei to deal with. ”

Qin Yun's words caused all the officials to nod their heads in agreement, and they all praised His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his meticulous observation.

Emperor Qin Shang also smiled and said, "What Yun'er said is reasonable. Look, Fan'er. ”

Qin Shang turned his head to look at the other young man again.

The dragon suit he was wearing proved that he was also a member of the emperor's family, his name was Qin Fan, and he was the second prince of Wu Anguo.

Limping, Prince Qin Fan walked out, and after a moment of silence, Qin Fan said: "What the eldest brother said is extremely true, and the sons really can't think of anything." ”

Qin Shang hummed slightly disappointed, and waved his hand to let Qin Fan retreat.

Qin Fan struggled to walk back, he was not injured, he was born lame. Standing calmly, Qin Fan whispered behind his eldest brother Qin Yun: "Big brother is really knowledgeable. ”

Qin Yun smiled proudly, turned his head to look at Qin Fan, there was some contempt and smugness in his eyes, and then turned his head.

Emperor Qin Shang said loudly: "Then according to Yun'er's words, the matter of demon cultivation will be handled by Jiuhuawei, and if you encounter a tricky matter, Shenhuawei will assist you." ”

The two old men walked out and bowed.

Then, Emperor Qin Shang continued: "By the way, there is one more thing. This kid who can cut down the four devils with one sword, but does anyone know who it is?"

The old man who had just been born walked out again at this time and said, "Weichen knows. He is Lu Fan, who has just been promoted to a medium patrol envoy, from Lucheng, Donghua Prefecture. ”

Emperor Qin Shang chuckled.

"Medium Patrol Envoy? Hehe, interesting. When did one of my Lieutenant Inspectors of Wu Anguo become able to fight the Four Great Demons?

The old man said: "The minister will not admit his mistake. The assessment of this son's promotion to the inspector was also handed over to His Majesty. He was the one who slaughtered the cow. ”

Emperor Qin Shang suddenly thought about it and said with a smile: "Oh, it turned out to be this kid." Well, it seems that he is also a person who has a chance to be there. In this case, let him come to the capital to participate in the selection. ”

The old man said with a happy face: "Your Majesty." ”

But at this time, Qin Yun stood up and said, "Father, is it too hasty to give away a selection quota like this?"

Emperor Qin Shang smiled and said, "What, Yun'er, do you think it's inappropriate?"

Qin Yun said: "Erchen thinks that although this son has some ability, it is not worth a selection place, and I ask my father to be cautious." ”

Emperor Qin Shang said: "Whether it's worth it or not, it depends on his ability." At this time, it was decided, but since Yun'er said it, let him come back in the spring next year. Tell him, this year, good life cultivation, if there is no progress, then there is no need to come. ”

After speaking, Emperor Qin Shang waved his hand to make everyone retreat.

In the tsunami-like sound of "God bless Wu'an", everyone withdrew from the Taihe Palace.

Outside the main hall, Prince Qin Yun was hugged by everyone and left. And the second prince, Qin Fan, was alone and walked out slowly.

He walked very slowly, his steps were high and low, and he still needed the support of the guards before he crossed the threshold of the gate of the Taihe Palace.

Only an old man waited at the door for the second prince Qin Fan for a while.

Qin Fan smiled and said, "Mr. Yichen, you are waiting for me again." Hehe, go down, let me talk to Mr. Yichen. ”

The old man helped Qin Fan to walk down, and said as he walked: "Second Highness, what do you think of today's events." ”

Qin Fan smiled: "What can I see, I'll stand and watch." ”

Yichen said: "Second Highness, in front of the old decay, don't pretend." I know, you're seeing something. ”

Qin Fan sighed and said, "Yes, I saw something." But even if you see it, it's useless, is it?"

Yichen shook his head and said, "No, Second Highness." At this time, I always feel that it is wrong, and since you can see it, as long as you sue me, it must still be useful. ”

Qin Fan's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he was silent for a moment, and finally said, "Mr. Yichen." You're right, it's not as simple as the royal brother said at this time. That thing wasn't just any heart of darkness. ”

Yichen's face immediately became solemn, and he said, "What do you say?"

Qin Fan said: "This kind of thing like the Heart of Darkness is the origin of chaotic creatures. Mr. must also know the creatures of chaos, light on the left and dark on the right. Kill the beast of light and get the heart of light. Kill the beast of darkness and gain the heart of darkness. ”

Yichen said: "I know all this. What Your Highness is talking about is not an ordinary heart of darkness, what is going on? ”

Qin Fan continued: "You listen to me. Ordinary beasts of darkness live on darkness, obtain the power of darkness, and condense the heart of darkness. This kind of heart, strong and powerful, with the power of darkness inside, is an excellent raw material for magic weapons, and it is an elixir. However, once the heart is removed, it does not beat. ”

Yichen's brows tightened, he had thought of something bad, very bad.

Qin Fan paused, and then said, "I just watched the battle of that demon cultivator, and that dark heart can jump. In other words, this heart, even if it is taken out, is still a living thing. And in the record, there is only one kind of living heart of darkness. That is, the Heavenly Demon Heart, which is called the supreme treasure by the Demon Cultivator. ”

Hearing the words Heavenly Demon Heart, Yichen's palm trembled suddenly, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Heavenly Demon Heart, it actually appeared again." Is the world going to be chaotic?"

Qin Fan said: "A heavenly demon heart, it's not chaotic. But if the five demons gather, it will be a big trouble. ”

Yichen suppressed his excitement and said, "Why didn't Your Highness say it just now." If it was really the Heavenly Demon Heart, these things, those Jiuhuawei, would definitely not be able to deal with it. ”

Qin Fan shook his head and smiled: "I, a second prince who doesn't know anything and has no power and power, how dare I refute after the imperial brother's words are confirmed." Don't forget, Mr. Yichen, I'm just a cripple. ”

Yichen looked at Qin Fan with burning eyes, as if he wanted to see through the person in front of him.

His gaze fell straight into Qin Fan's eyes. But all you can see is a pool of calm water, and there are no waves.

Yichen said: "Second Highness." You are the one who is truly knowledgeable. ”

Qin Fan said: "No, it is my imperial brother who is erudite, and it can only be my imperial brother." ”

After speaking, Qin Fan slightly quickened his pace and walked down.

Yichen stood in place and thought for a while, then smiled, and quickly followed: "That's right. The erudite can only be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. And you, Your Highness, know nothing. ”

Qin Fan laughed and said, "This word is used well, I don't know anything. I also like one word, good for nothing. ”

Yichen laughed out loud.

The two laughed for a long time, and Yichen then asked, "Your Highness, what do you think of Lu Fan's affairs?"

Qin Fan said: "First of all, this Lu Fan definitely doesn't have such a strong strength. Didn't you look carefully, when he took out the sword, his face was like going to die, if his strength was strong enough to cut down the four demons with one move, would he still have this kind of expression? It must be that the cloud is light and light, waving his hand gently. ”

Qin Fan said and made a move, which caused Yichen to laugh again.

Yichen said: "So His Royal Highness also thinks that this son should not take a selection place?"

Qin Fan said: "Wrong, on the contrary, I think he should be sent to the capital city as soon as possible and directly sent to Shenhuawei or Martial Dao Mountain for cultivation." ”

"What do you say?"

Yichen was a little puzzled.

Qin Fan said: "First of all, although he didn't do such a thing as cutting down the four demons with a sword, the person who really made the shot is very likely to know him, otherwise how could he help him when he made a move, I never believe in any coincidence." Secondly, this guy has a good heart, he dares to take out a sword when he is desperate, he is fearless and fearless, he is still a medium patrol envoy, he also has talent, potential, and heart, and the foundation of the strong is there, with a little training, he will be able to soar into the sky. ”

Yichen listened to the side and nodded secretly.

"In the end, hehe, he actually took the name of the word mortal. Rare, rare. I'd like to have a drink with him when I have the chance. ”

Qin Fan shook his head and said.

Yichen was dumbfounded for a while, I didn't expect Qin Fan to have this kind of thought, is this one of the reasons?

Qin Fan whispered to Yichen: "Mr. Yichen." If I were you, I should immediately send someone there to find that mysterious powerhouse. can cut down the four demons with one sword, at least it is also the Venerable Realm. If it can be accepted into Shenhuawei, it must be excellent. ”

Yichen said clearly: "Understood, I'll do it when I go back." Your Highness, your mind is really so tight that the old man admires it. ”

Qin Fan said: "Mr. Yichen has treated me like a master and apprentice since I was a child, and I just told you these words." If I let my royal brother know that I still have a good brain, I am afraid that I will not be far from death. ”

Yichen sighed and said, "Yes, the prince is too favored by His Majesty." ”

This sentence is clueless, but it contains a sense of regret.

Qin Fan's expression moved slightly: "How can Mr. Yichen see the favor?"

Yichen was stunned and said, "Isn't it? Today, His Majesty also praised the prince." and also relied on the prince to prevent Na Lu Fan from entering the capital. ”

Qin Fan said hehehe: "Don't let you in, are you mistaken, I remember saying that he was asked to come at the beginning of spring tomorrow." Do you really think that my father doesn't know that the crown prince is buying and selling selection places?"

Yichen was stunned, and said for a long time: "I see." ”

Qin Fan shook his head and said: "An autumn rain and a cold, a spring breeze and a warmth. Wait until next year's flower bloom day, and turn your head to see the success or failure. ”

The sound soared and drifted away.
