Earlier. Luojing, Shangluo Road, Zhentianmen.

This is the only way from the outer hall of the palace to the main hall, the clan grand ceremony is imminent, and the strength of the garrison here has naturally increased by more than one level, and the deputy chief of the palace guard, Wei Changxin, a master of the Qi Void Realm, has just changed shifts at this time, and he ushered in the carriage of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Liu Changxi, who returned from the opening ceremony of the clan conference.

"His Royal Highness the Prince. Wei Changxin clasped his hands into fists and bowed.

"Good work. Liu Changxi's faint voice came from inside the royal carriage.

"When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is away, is there anything unusual in the main hall?" asked the chief guard, Wang Zhiyan, on the horse.

"Lord Hui, there is nothing unusual at the moment. ”

"Okay, you have to pay more attention to precautions, and don't make any mistakes!"

"Your Excellency understands!"

"Your Highness, we knew that there was nothing to do in the palace, and we didn't have to rush back in such a hurry. After entering the Zhentian Gate, Wang Zhiyan rode close to Liu Changxi's car window, leaned over and bowed his head, and said softly.

"It seems like this, but when I watched Su Mu disappear into the crowd of participating disciples just now, I always had a bad premonition in my heart. Maybe I'm overthinking. ”

"It seems that His Highness's hunch is not always accurate. Wang Zhiyan smiled, "Then will we go back to the East Palace directly now?"

"No, let's go to the main hall first to see how my father is doing. Liu Changxi thought for a while.

"All cheer up, you all heard what Lord Wang said just now, everyone pays attention to me at this important juncture, and I must not let even a bird enter the main hall!"

After Liu Changxi left, Wei Changxin immediately shouted loudly. Although Luo Jing had long been obscured by heavy dark clouds, the continuous drizzle never developed into a torrential rain, and the humidity and heat of the air at this time made every palace guard in light armor a little unbearable, and could not help but be a little listless.

Looking at the sluggish mood of the guards, Wei Changxin was also a little helpless. Not to mention his guards, even he himself can't accept it. This year, the rainy season in Luojing seems to be longer than ever, and the rain is always continuous, like two armies facing each other, always sending small forces to harass and probe, but the large army has been holding down. Such an atmosphere is more likely to suffocate the soldiers than the vigorous and hearty battle.

"Really, even if it's a big one! Wei Changxin couldn't help but curse in his heart. It is indeed difficult for such a climate to maintain a high level of concentration, but the palace guards are the last line of defense to guard the palace, and it is self-evident how important their duties are.

Wei Changxin still clearly remembers the scene when he was appointed as a palace guard.

There are two types of palace guards, one is hereditary, which is inherited from generation to generation, such as Wang Zhice and Wang Zhiyu.

And the other is a feudal system like Wei Changxin. If there are seedlings with excellent potential found in the major armies, they will be reported to the palace for review through the dark department, and those who meet the qualifications will be selected as the palace guards for training, and when the strength reaches the standard, they will be officially named a member of the palace guards, and their descendants will automatically be qualified to become candidates for the palace guards.

For Wei Changxin, who has been in the military camp for a long time, it can be said that he has become a phoenix on the branches. Haha Literature Network

Wei Changxin was born in the Southeast Army before, and became a fierce general under the command of General Yan Kuo at a young age, and his cultivation talent was also discovered by Yan Kuo on the battlefield. Therefore, although the age has passed the best time to practice, under the strong recommendation of Yan Kuo, he obtained the qualification of the palace guard candidate, and finally climbed to the position of the deputy chief of the palace guard step by step, and he was only one step away from the chief Wang Zhiyan.

Wei Changxin swore at that time that he must become a glorious palace guard worthy of the Zizhulan (the national flower of the southern country) on his chest, so as not to live up to Lord Yan Kuo's intentions for himself.

Thinking of this, Wei Changxin shouted loudly again, cheering up the other guards. And at this moment, a forbidden soldier suddenly appeared and rushed all the way to Wei Changxin.

"My lord, there seems to be something going on at the front door that may need to be taken care of. The soldier knelt on the ground and said in a hurried tone.

"What's the situation, talk as you go!"

"It seems that he is the housekeeper of Lord Zuo's mansion, with some disciples of the Jianghu Sect, asking to enter the palace to face the saint. ”

"Disciples of the Jianghu Sect, what are you doing when you enter the palace? And didn't Your Majesty announce a long time ago that outsiders would be forbidden to enter the palace until the opening ceremony of the clan grand ceremony?" Wei Changxin asked with some confusion.

"Yes, so they forcibly wanted to enter the palace, and there were a lot of people, and the Great Commander couldn't make up his mind, so I hurried over to ask Lord Wei for help. ”

"How many, how many?"

"I didn't count them, but there should be hundreds of them. The soldier replied honestly.

"Hundreds of people? What are you kidding? What kind of place are they here? Qianmen Commercial Street? And people from the rivers and lakes are forbidden to enter the palace unless they have His Majesty's decree, and the Prime Minister's Mansion doesn't know about this rule?"

"Yes, and their attitude is very bad, both sides are a little impulsive, and I am afraid that a conflict may break out after a while. ”

"It's just bold! Let Uncle Ben see who wants to put such a big score, and he doesn't even pay attention to His Majesty's words!" Wei Changxin listened to the fire, and the banditry he had cultivated during his previous time as a soldier unconsciously appeared.

"Lord Wei, these people are a bit weird, Lord Commander specially asked me to tell you to restrain your temper for a while!" the soldier's tone trembled slightly. Speaking from the heart, the weather has been so hot and humid recently, people are already easy to be irritable, but it is no coincidence that the deputy chief of the palace guard on duty today is Wei Changxin, who was born in the military and has a violent temper.

"Is that the guy?" Wei Changxin's cultivation himself is very strong, and the tutorial is also fast, dragging the stingy little soldier, and after a while, he came to the front door of the palace, and saw a crowd of black pressure from a distance.

"My lord, that's them. The soldier replied.

"These people who pretend to be ghosts, they are still wearing such thick robes on such a hot day! It makes people irritated when they look at it!" At this time, Wang Zhiyan was not there, and no one present had a higher official rank than him, and Wei Changxin's scolding became more and more frequent.

"Your Excellency, don't be impulsive," the soldier reminded again.

"I know! Lao Tzu has his own measure!" Wei Changxin said disdainfully, and was about to step forward to suppress the momentum of these people in the rivers and lakes, when suddenly, a terrible scream resounded throughout the front door.
