"I can't imagine that today's event is actually such an ending. ”

Looking at the painting boat that slowly disappeared in the early morning mist, Li Chun sighed deeply, recalling his state of mind when he got on the boat last night, as if he was in a different world.

I thought it was just an ordinary scam or farce, but I didn't expect it to be involved in such a deep past.

- When the day dawned, it was like a spring dream, and there was no trace, only the sword score of the Red Blood Demon Sword still remained in his memory.

"Young Master, what the hell is going on?"

Auspicious or confused.

Li Chun smiled slightly, "That's a long story......

After a sleepless night, Li Chun didn't feel tired.

The carriage was already waiting in front of the inn, and they still needed to hurry.

When the shopkeeper saw Li Chun coming back, his face turned pale with shock, and the little second who was involved in it is now a little stupid and stupid to follow the shopkeeper.

He couldn't remember what happened last night.

In a few days, he may be able to return to normal.

None of the swordsmen who gathered last night could come back.

"Let's go!"

Li Chun sighed, he didn't want to see more of this kind of tragedy, anyway, after he cracked the Red Blood Demon Sword, there would never be a river god recruiting relatives here, and in a few years, this terrible tragedy would gradually become an ethereal legend.

He boarded the carriage.

Lao Zhou raised his whip high, the black carriage slowly accelerated, and soon rushed to the ferry port and boarded the ferry that had long been moored.

In the middle of the day, they had crossed the red waters.

Further on, it is Tongguan.

Tongguan is located in the western frontier of the empire, and it is the only way out of the Western Regions to the Tianshan Mountains.

This is a 10,000-year-old Xiongguan, and the city wall is as high as ten zhang. Mottled and vicissitudes.

In the past history, I don't know how many hard battles this pass has faced, and I don't know how many times the walls have been destroyed by the fire and armor.

However, after a thousand years, it has been constantly rebuilt, so that this checkpoint built by the mountain has not only not been destroyed. Instead, it becomes more majestic.

After the establishment of the empire, Tongguan resisted the attacks of Xirong again and again, until the general smashed the court of Xirong and forced the barbarians to sign the alliance under the city, and the western Xiongguan began a short period of peace.

Today, the western frontier of the empire is about the most stable place in the world.

Otherwise, the prince would not be safe here.

"You actually want us to wait for a guard of honor, my father and the king of Fubo County, maybe they're a little confused, right?"

The young prince was not very happy.

Thirty-six ceremonial guards. It's easy to say it's simple, but it's also difficult to say it's difficult.

Everyone knows that after the crown prince sealed the Zen, this young man is the second power figure in the empire, the prince of the country, and the future emperor.

The noble family of the empire, which one doesn't want to step in and find an opportunity to pat the prince's ass?

So the candidates for the thirty-six honor guards. It's more than enough.

It's difficult, but I just want to choose someone from it. It's not that easy.

The old people of the East Palace must be placed, which has been invested in the prince's side since childhood, and at least half of them must be accounted for.

Then, the prince of Duzhong and the queen's relatives must naturally have their own representatives, followed by the candidates arranged by the prince of the nine counties and the governor of the court-just these. It has almost filled all the candidates for the thirty-six honor guards.

This time, the emperor and the crown prince were well-behaved, and they did not interfere too much with the selection of the thirty-six honor guards, and the selection of people was quite smooth.

But the person recommended by the king of Fubo County was reported at the last moment. When the prince traveled, he had just set off, not only could he not go to the capital to meet the Son of Heaven, but he set off with the prince, and even asked the prince to wait for him in Tongguan.

This kid's shelf is too big, isn't it?

The prince was dressed in bright yellow clothes, sitting lazily in the center of the hall, sipping cold osmanthus mung bean soup, his face a little uncertain.

He was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with no blemish on his face, a firm nose, black hair, and a dignified appearance.

-- The prince's demeanor, which has always been appreciated by the bigwigs in the capital, has a good skin, and is also the reason why he has the support of many nobles.

Although the prince is the son-in-law, he is not the longest, the eldest son of the emperor is born by the concubine, and he is deeply favored by the Son of Heaven.

The prince has not been able to confer Zen until today, and it cannot be said that there is no reason for this.

According to the general practice, the crown prince was canonized very early, about ten years old to go to the Tianshan Mountains to seal the Zen, now the prince has become an adult to take this trip, I don't know how many people are anxious to wait.

"Prince, I heard that kid is just a commoner, and he just took the Xie Yuan of Fubo County not long ago. ”

By the prince's side, he was one of the thirty-six honor guards of his closest confidants, and his playmate Xiaohou since childhood.

Xiaohou is the second son of Zhenguo Gong, but he was born with a sharp mouth and monkey gills, and he did not have the burly righteousness of Guogong and his family, so he did not like Zhen Guogong since he was a child, and his mother felt sorry for him and was worried that he would not be good in the house, so he was sent to the palace early in the morning to read to the prince.

He has accompanied the prince since he was a child, and the relationship between the two is very strong.

This kid is sharp and well-informed, but he has won the trust of the prince.

"Civilians?"

The crown prince frowned slightly.

"How could the King of Fubo recommend such a person to come up?"

Of course, civilians are not qualified to serve as the 36th honor guard, at least, they must wait until they are selected before they are barely qualified to be selected.

If the king of Fubo County had planned to send this person a long time ago, he was deliberately waiting for him to be lifted?

"What's his name?"

Thinking of this, the prince couldn't help but be a little curious.

"It seems to be called Li Chun. ”

Xiao Hou tilted his head sideways and thought about it slightly, and then flipped through the notebook in his hand, and then he was sure.

He watched the words and guessed the prince's thoughts.

"Prince, we don't know what kind of details this Li Chun is, and the brothers are quite impatient to wait for him, otherwise...... When he arrives, I'll let people touch his bottom?"

Xiao Hou asked uncertainly.

The prince hesitated for a moment, frowned twice, and then nodded.

"Okay, don't shoot too hard, don't make anything!"

Thirty-six honor guards will accompany him to walk thousands of miles to the Tianshan Mountains, of course he needs someone he can trust, and if he doesn't find out the details of Li Chun, the prince is not at ease.

But again, the bottom line is not to make trouble, in case of serious injury or death, it is a major event that will affect his meditation, and the prince is not stupid, of course he will calculate it clearly.

"Yes!"

Xiao Hou understood and nodded again and again.

He made a gesture, and naturally someone arranged it.

At this time, Li Chun had just seen Tongguan. (To be continued......)
