Chapter 13: Two Old Fellows

"Brother Yuan, Lord Qin Lan, you two are good waiters for brothers. ”

Early the next morning, the eldest prince, who was walking back and forth outside the imperial palace, saw Xia Yuan and Qin Lan come out hand in hand, so he stepped forward, but there was a slight displeasure on his face.

The sun on the horizon has just emerged, and the sky is still a little gray.

"The sky hasn't opened yet, Brother Wang, it's really early. ”

Xia Yuan arched his hand and said with a smile.

"Qin Lan has seen the eldest prince. ”

Qin Lan's eyes looked forward to it, but she didn't see Qin Qianqian's figure.

"It's not too early, the emperor and the king of Xiwu are already waiting for Brother Yuan in Heyun Palace. ”

After the eldest prince finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and pulled Xia Yuan to lift his leg and leave. Some of them are in a hurry, and they don't want to delay for a moment.

"Brother Wang doesn't need to be so anxious, Heyun Palace is not far from the Emperor's Palace, let's go slowly, we won't be able to delay too much time on the road. ”

Xia Yuan, who was dragged away by the eldest prince, saw his anxious appearance, he shook his head with a smile, and let the eldest prince go.

Heyun Palace.

"Xia Chun has seen the teacher, and he has seen the Seibu King Chitose. ”

In the Heyun Palace, the eldest prince left Xia Yuan and Qin Lan, took a few steps forward, and bowed to the two figures sitting in the first place.

Chun'er doesn't need to be polite, get up quickly. ”

In the first place, there is an old man in plain clothes, with snow-white hair and a ruddy face.

Between the words and deeds of the old man, there is a bit of a master.

Next to the old man, there was a middle-aged man, sipping a cup of tea, smiling lightly at the corner of his eyes.

His sword eyebrows and starry eyes, his nose is like a hanging gall, and he also shows a trace of majesty.

"Xia Yuan, Qin Lan, I have seen the emperor Chitose, the King of Xiwu Chitose. ”

Xia Yuan and Qin Lan stepped forward together, bowed, and saluted.

"There is no need to be polite, I can't imagine that the old man travels all over the world, and the little prince of the Celestial Dynasty actually has a divine vein. Many years ago, it was a little old and a little blind. ”

The emperor reached out and stroked the white beard under his lips, and he nodded with a smile. "It's the little girl in the Beiwu Palace, I haven't seen her for many years, and she is getting more and more spiritual. ”

"Two little ones, sit down quickly. Although Lao Yu is the emperor of the Celestial Empire, he does not hold an official position in the Celestial Empire, and here in Lao Yu, there is no need for those rituals in the temple. ”

The smile on the emperor's face was very kind and easy-going, like an amiable elder.

"Emperor Xie. ”

After Xia Yuan and Qin Lan thanked each other, they sat on the wooden chair on one side.

The eldest prince, sat opposite them.

The palace maid, who had been waiting for a long time, brought two cups of tea and put them on the wooden table beside them.

"Chun'er, Yuan'er, is a dragon and a tiger in the Celestial Empire, there are two little guys in the Celestial Empire, and after a thousand years, they will dominate the lower realm, making the Celestial Empire a silver-level sect, fulfilling the long-cherished wish of the previous kings of the Celestial Empire. ”

The emperor sighed, and there was some nostalgia on top of his appearance.

"Dragon, when you dive, you can swim in the nine heavens and overlook all living beings in the world. Tiger, down the Cangshan, can also roar the tiger in Jiuzhou, trembling the mountains and rivers. ”

King Xiwu, who was dressed in a golden python robe, put down the teacup in his hand and glanced at Xia Yuan with ulterior motives.

"Dragon fighting, tiger fighting, is what everyone in our Celestial Empire does not want to see. ”

The dragon and the tiger are both overlords in the world, whoever becomes the king is the minister of the king.

"This king looks at the little prince's heart is indifferent, but he doesn't have much interest in the hegemony of the king. I don't know if this king's guess is right or wrong. ”

King Seibu smiled on his lips and said slowly.

"The matter of the temple is too cumbersome, I just want to concentrate on cultivation, and in the future, I will be like the emperor, traveling all over the world, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the lower realm. ”

Xia Yuan's eyes were deep, and his answer was neither humble nor arrogant.

"The Nether is too big, and if you want to go through the Nether, I'm afraid it will take you a lifetime. ”

King Seibu turned the teacup on his fingertips and said softly.

"Yes, the Nether is huge, I just have to believe that I am always on the road. In my opinion, the hegemony of kingship is not as real as the beauty of the world. ”

King Seibu seems to be an understatement, but in fact it is a rhetorical sword. Xia Yuan's heart is not in the Celestial Empire, so how can he say that he wants to seize the hegemony of the king, but he also answers it like a stream.

There is wine in his waist, a sword in his hand, and someone beside him.

Just a sword, the world is so big, where to go.

This is what Xia Yuan longed for, and it was also the world where Yu Jiuyou spoke for him on the hanging cliff when he was young.

"Well, the little prince is young, but he has such a broad horizon, if the old man hadn't sworn an oath, he would have taken you as an apprentice and passed on what you had learned all your life. ”

The emperor's eyes were opened, and the smile on his face became more and more intense.

King Seibu leaned back on the wooden chair and didn't speak.

"Xia Yuan. ”

The eldest prince clenched his hand in the teacup, and his face was a little cloudy.

"What you see is what my heart wants. ”

Qin Lan's hands were clenched and placed in her arms, she looked at Xia Yuan's side face with a gentle expression, her expression a little obsessed.

Don't want the kingship, don't want the wealth, just fight the sword in the world, and find the freedom of that life.

"Emperor Miao, I am just a short-sighted person, I can live in the moment, and I am already content if I am at peace with what happens. ”

Xia Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, King Xiwu's step by step is pressing, the emperor's high praise is high, this one has a black face, one white face, and the cooperation is seamless.

These two people are old foxes.

"A good one lives in the moment, and a good one is at peace with what happens. The words of the little prince are the same as what your father said many years ago. ”

King Seibu clapped his hands, and his eyes suddenly shot out a light that was like a substance.

In the threesome many years ago, there was a white suit, a green coat, and a gray coat, as well as three swords.

"What the little prince said is a little inconsistent with your age. Also, you, with a divine vein, how can this small Heavenly Empire allow you to swim. ”

The corner of King Xiwu's eyes swept over, and he looked at the eldest prince whose face was getting more and more gloomy, and said thoughtfully.

is also when he was a teenager, one was a brother and the other was a brother, but in comparison, the gap was a bit big.

Inside the Imperial Palace.

"Big brother, are we just waiting in the imperial hall, watching the emperor and the king of Xiwu disrespect the old and bullying Yuan'er and Xiaolan. ”

In the imperial hall, King Beiwu suddenly opened his tiger eyes, he stood up, and there was anger surging between his eyebrows.

"You, you're still the same as before, and your personality is still so rampage. After so many years of temple life, I still can't smooth the water chestnut in your heart. ”

Xia Wuhou also opened his eyes, and there was a smile on his face. "Yuan'er not only has a divine vein, but also gave me a great surprise in other aspects. Xia Chun, after all, it was too much worse. ”

Xia Wuhou leaned back against the dragon chair, and his body relaxed.

"Big brother, you still laughed, didn't Yuan'er say it, you don't care about the royal power and hegemony of the Celestial Empire, do you want to hand over the Celestial Empire to Xia Chun. ”

King Beiwu was on the side, paused, and glared at him with a little blowing his beard.

"Yuan'er is not a person from the Netherworld, if Yuan'er is allowed to rule the Heavenly Empire, won't Yuan'er fall into my current field. The Heavenly Chosen Divine Vein is not comparable to a Celestial Empire. ”

Xia Wuhou stood up and patted King Beiwu on the shoulder with a smile.

"No matter what, I just can't get used to seeing them-for-tat with Yuan'er, Yuan'er is your son and my son-in-law. ”

At this moment, the King of Beiwu is a little tricky, but he has the appearance of an old naughty boy.

"Let's wait and see, if the emperor and the king of Seibu are repeatedly pressing forward step by step, don't blame me for brushing their faces. ”

Xia Wuhou sat back on the dragon chair.

"Good. ”

The same is true of the Hokubu King.

Heyun Palace.

"I don't know if the little prince, can you let the old man take a look at the Heavenly Chosen Divine Vein in your body. The old decay has lived a lifetime, and he has never seen what the Chosen Divine Vein looks like. ”

As soon as the emperor's words fell, King Seibu and the eldest prince looked up for a long time, and they all came to their senses.

For them, the divine vein body only exists in legends, and all kinds of legends are not as good as what they have seen with their own eyes.

Thousands of years ago, the Nine Shadows were the Divine Vein Body, and they wanted to see it, but they didn't have that qualification.

"This ......... To tell you the truth, I don't even know where the Heavenly Chosen Divine Vein you are talking about exists in my body, let alone show it to Emperor Chitose and King Seibu Chitose. ”

Xia Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head.

On that day, the scene in the cultivation secret room, the golden light that existed in his body, was like a nightmare.

Thinking of it made Xia Yuan's back shiver.

"It's the old man who is a little confused, and before awakening the divine vein, you must not take the initiative to touch the divine vein. ”

Some of the overly curious emperors patted their foreheads.

Then, the emperor looked at Xia Yuan and said. "There is a way to activate the divine veins temporarily, but the little prince has to endure some pain. ”

After the emperor finished speaking, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

King Seibu's face was filled with a hint of banter.

"No, I can't. Didn't the emperor Chitose just say that before the divine vein is awakened, it must not be touched. ”

Qin Lan was excited for a while, but he couldn't care about the so-called etiquette.

Qin Lan stood up, she spread her arms and protected Xia Yuan behind her.

On Qin Lan's small face, he looked nervously at the Emperor and the King of Xiwu.

"Before we got married, our little princess began to protect her husband. ”

The emperor made a joke and continued. "Please rest assured, the old man's method is only to temporarily activate the divine vein, but the pain brought by this process to the little prince is resolved by the old man. ”

"With the king and the emperor here, the little prince just wants to have an accident, and it is impossible. Is it difficult for the little county lord to believe that he can't trust this king and the emperor?"

The corners of King Seibu's mouth were gently raised.

"Qin Lan, it's okay, since Emperor Chitose and King Xiwu Chitose want to take a look at the divine veins in my body, I, as a junior, naturally can't refuse. However, I am very afraid of pain, and I hope that the emperor Chitose will give him a miracle medicine to resolve the pain. ”

Xia Yuan calmly pressed Qin Lan back on the wooden chair, then raised his legs and walked in front of the emperor and the king of Xiwu, and bowed.

"That's natural, the little prince is dignified and delicate, and how can old age make you feel a little pain. You take this pill well, and if you feel any discomfort in your body, you can swallow it immediately. ”

The Emperor Master took out a red elixir the size of a dragon's eye and handed it to Xia Yuan.

"Chun'er, little county lord, you exit the Heyun Palace. ”

The emperor turned his head and gave an order to the eldest prince and Qin Lan.

"Yes, teacher. ”

The eldest prince got up, bowed his back, and withdrew from the Heyun Palace.

"Qin Lan, you leave Heyun Palace first, don't worry, I'm fine. ”

Xia Yuan said to Qin Lan, the smile on his face was very relaxed.

"But ............"

Qin Lan looked at Xia Yuan and shook her head, she immediately stomped her feet and walked out of Heyun Palace unwillingly.

It's just three steps and one look back, in Qin Lan's heart, he really can't rest assured about the emperor and the king of Xiwu.

"Little prince, please get ready, the old decay is about to begin. ”

The emperor stood up, raised his eyes to look at Xia Yuan, and said.

This move, the emperor is also on a whim, and wants to take a look, this only exists in the legendary Chosen Divine Vein.

If there is any mistake that angers Xia Wuhou, it will be more than worth the loss.

You have to be careful.

"Emperor Chitose, I'm ready. ”

Xia Yuan, who was holding the red pill in his hand, said seriously.
