The sound of the horn sounded in the sky, and under the Hai'an Gate in the inner city of Tianhao City, a five-foot-wide red carpet was spread from under the door to the palace.

More than 40 officials waited under the Hai'an Gate, and the leader was a third-grade official named Liu Sheng.

Seeing a carriage slowly coming in front of him, Liu Sheng turned around and said to everyone: "I heard that the Seventh Prince has always been arrogant and lascivious, and he has done his own thing, so don't collide. ”

"What Lord Liu said is very true!" Hearing what Liu Sheng said, the rest of the people all agreed.

Emperor Nanzhao is critically ill in bed, and now the crown prince Wang Yin is acting as the ruler of the court, but the prince cannot cover the sky with one hand.

The second prince Wang Yun, the third prince Wang Zhao, the fourth prince Wang Shan, and the fifth prince Wang Shan are all over the government and the opposition. The prince's decree is often changed overnight, which is extremely difficult to implement, and hundreds of officials are caught in it as if walking on thin ice.

The order of the seven princes to return to the capital was sent to Qianzhou two months ago, and the other four princes except the crown prince did not say a word about the reception, but all the officials in the court knew in their hearts that in such an eventful autumn, none of the five princes in the court wanted the seven princes to return to the capital at this time.

But as the prince's right-hand man, how could Liu Sheng not understand the prince's thoughts, if the seven princes returned to the palace and were deserted, the royal face would not look good, and the prince's face would be even worse. Then he asked all the officials below the second rank in the court to welcome the seven princes.

As soon as the prince's will came out this time, it was rare that the other four princes did not obstruct it, but when they arrived at this Hai'an Gate today, there were only more than 40 people.

"Your Highness, the person in front of you is named Liu Sheng, and he is the person of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

Wang Laowei drove the carriage and looked at the group of people in front of him and said lightly.

"Hmm. ”

Wang Xiao sat in the carriage and answered, and only Zhu Tianqi was guarding the carriage, the two scholars and the rest were placed in the outer city, and Li Wei, the commander of the East City Gate, was inconvenient to enter the inner city, and Wang Xiao led the soldiers and horses to retreat with a confession.

"Minister Liu Sheng welcomes the seven princes back to the capital!" When the three of them arrived at Hai'anmen, Liu Sheng led the officials who greeted him to kneel on the ground.

"Why didn't any of His Royal Highness's elder brothers come?" Looking at the kneeling people on the ground, Wang Xiao slowly got out of the carriage, and Zhu Tianqi followed.

"His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has every opportunity, and a special minister will greet him!" Liu Sheng knelt on the ground and bowed after speaking.

Looking at Liu Sheng on the ground, Wang Xiao glanced at Wang Xiao, and understood what Wang Lao meant, Wang Xiao said: "Okay, get up, take His Royal Highness into the palace, I want to go to visit my father!"

All the officials got up one after another, and Liu Sheng patted his sleeves, "Your Royal Highness the Seventh, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an order, the emperor is seriously ill, and it is not suitable to see people at this time, so I specially asked the ministers to take His Royal Highness to the Seven Star Palace for a temporary stay for two days, and when the emperor's condition eases slightly, he will arrange for His Royal Highness to be saintly!" Liu Sheng stayed in place after speaking, with a firm face.

Hearing what Liu Sheng said, Elder Wang's brows furrowed slightly, but after a while, he returned to his original state, "Your Highness, since Your Majesty's dragon body is not safe, it is better for us to go to the Seven Star Palace to rest for two days for the time being, and we can also slow down our spirits, so as not to let Your Majesty see the appearance of His Highness!"

"What Elder Wang said is very true, since this is the case, Liu Sheng, you should take this palace to the Seven Star Palace to rest for a few days. Seeing Liu Sheng's appearance, Wang Xiao didn't understand what his brother meant, and he didn't force it, so he asked him to lead the way to the Seven Star Palace.

It took about an hour for the group to arrive at the Seven Star Palace, let Liu Sheng and the others retreat, looking at the palace in front of them, Wang Xiao sighed in his heart and pushed the door in, and Wang Lao and Zhu Tianqi also entered the palace together.

"Well, it's not bad, it hasn't changed at all. Entering the Seven Star Palace, Wang Xiao found that everything inside still retained its original appearance, the flowers and plants were trimmed neatly, and two rows of palace maids stood respectfully on both sides.

"Your Highness, since Your Highness left the palace, His Majesty has instructed the slaves and maids to clean every few days, and no one has lived in the palace except An Xiang Niangniang for so many years. Seeing that the old master of the palace had returned, a palace maid came forward to pay respects.

"I'm tired!" Hearing what the palace maid said, Wang Xiao bowed to the palace maid.

"Slaves and maids don't dare, this is what slaves and maids should do. ”

This palace maid is about forty years old, and she has been by her side since An Xiang Niangniang entered the palace, and An Xiang Niangniang is Wang Xiao's mother.

The three of them entered the main hall, and a group of palace maids retreated.

"Your Royal Highness, none of the five princes came out today, and only a few dozen people came to greet the hundred officials, this palace has long been firmly controlled by the five princes, and looking at the situation today, I am afraid that I want to give His Royal Highness a disadvantage. As soon as Wang Xiao sat down, Zhu Tianqi began to be indignant.

According to the etiquette of Nanzhaoguo, when the prince returns from a remote area, all the officials in the court have to greet him, but today only one third-grade official comes to greet him, and the others are all four-grade and five-grade officials, which can be called shabby.

How can these kings not know that the world thinks that the Seventh Prince, Wang Xiao, is a disciple of the Seventh Emperor, but they don't know that he is wise. Looking at the indignant Zhu Tianqi, he sighed and let out a turbid breath, "Cousin, how can you not bow your head when you are under the eaves! Several royal brothers are afraid that I will enter the palace to compete for the throne, but fortunately, only three people enter the palace, if we bring more people, I'm afraid we won't be able to go to this Seven Star Palace!"

When Wang Xiao was young, he wondered why his father would let him live in a thousand continents far away, but when he grew up, he gradually understood his good intentions.

"We will enter the palace this time, and when His Royal Highness sees His Majesty, we will rush back to Qianzhou immediately, otherwise I am afraid we will not be able to get out of this Tianhao City!" Hearing the conversation between the two, Wang Lao nodded slightly, although the identities of these two people are very different, they are both cultivated by themselves.

"Elder Wang, I forgot to tell you something!" Wang Xiao heard Elder Wang's words, and his eyes were deep.

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"I am not alone in entering the palace this time. Wang Xiao said lightly.

"Hmm, Your Highness, apart from you and the five in the palace, where are there any other princes?" Zhu Tianqi saw that the king was determined, and he interrupted.

"No, there is another person, and listen to me in detail!" Wang Xiao said, and glanced at Zhu Tianqi, Zhu Tianqi hurriedly went to the gate to inspect it, and then closed the palace gate.

The three of them talked about it until late at night, and finally the two retired in shock and disbelief.

Seeing the two away, Wang Xiao quietly looked at the night sky with his hands behind his back, his eyes full of vicissitudes that should not have occurred at this age.

"Sixth brother, don't make me wait for a long time!"

......

In an unnamed mountain range, a young man held a long sword, and terrifying fluctuations emanated from the long sword.

"Slash!"

With a loud shout from the young man, the sword turned into a gray light and shot into a small mountain.

Bang!

As the light flew, a huge explosion sounded, the dust dispersed, and a large pit of about seven or eight zhang appeared on the hill, and a three-foot long sword with a flowing light was inserted in the pit.

"Come back!"

With a wave of the young man's hand, the long sword flew back into his hand, and looking at the deep pit, the corner of the young man's mouth showed a satisfied smile.

The young man was Wang Han, who broke through the pass, and flew for two or three days after leaving the original stone cave, and stopped for seven or eight days in an unnamed mountain range.

Soul power was originally a means that only the powerhouses of the soul condensation realm could master, but after breaking through the late stage of gathering spirits, he formed a sea of knowledge, which made Wang Han puzzled, and in the end he could only attribute it to the magic of the wind spirit bead.

At the beginning, I was carried away by the joy brought by the breakthrough of cultivation for two days, and I didn't know how to refine the spirit weapon in my hand, and only after flying for two days did I stop refining the sword of the years.

At present, the Sword of Time is the highest-level spiritual weapon on his body, and if he completely controls it, it will undoubtedly increase a lot of confidence in this trip to the palace.

Wang Han is no longer a young man, this time entering the palace will definitely trigger a series of chain reactions, he is not afraid of the five princes, but behind the palace stands an uncertain factor Xinghe Sect!

After learning Wang Xiao's identity, Wang Han had a different kind of thought in his heart, and the thoughts that had been buried in his heart began to rush wildly.

If you can make the king the emperor, your plan will be shortened by a big step!

But this matter is full of difficulties and dangers, if the Xinghe Sect does not agree, it will definitely confront him, so he has to make all plans.

The spirit weapon needs to be refined with soul power before it can exert its true power, the middle-aged man in purple clothes used the low-grade spirit weapon in his hand to the extreme, and its power can be described as a god blocking and killing the god and the Buddha and killing the Buddha is extremely terrifying, if it weren't for Wang Han far surpassing the rest of the people in the spirit gathering realm, I am afraid that he is already a dead soul under the sword at this time.

It took eight days, and Wang Han exhausted his mental strength to finally refine the Sword of Age.

At this time, the sword of time was quietly suspended in his dantian, and as long as his mind moved, he could show its terrifying and incomparable lethality.

The rest of the spiritual weapons also need to be refined, but the time is no longer enough, and Wang Xiao at this time may have already entered the imperial capital.

After trying the power of the Sword of the Years, Wang Han was satisfied, so powerful, he was not afraid in the early stage of soul condensation!

"It's time to go find Wang Xiao!" Looking at the vast mountains, Wang Han whispered a word and rode away in the wind.

The rise and fall of the dynasty can be seen for thousands of years, and the Nanzhao has been established for a long time, but the royal family Wang is the last, and the control of the Nanzhao country is only about 300 years, and now the emperor of the dynasty is the southern emperor Beitian.

The Southern Emperor has been in power for fifty-three years, and the once magnificent Southern Emperor is no longer what he used to be, and now he is a gray-haired old man, lying on the hospital bed coughing incessantly.

After coughing, Nanhuang gasped for breath, and it took a long time before it calmed down, and the whole person looked even weaker. Looking at the crown prince Wang Yin who was kneeling beside the bed, the weak voice of the Southern Emperor sounded in the palace, dragging the old elder.

"Yin'er, can your seventh brother enter the palace?"

"Father, the seventh brother is on his way! In the huge dormitory, hundreds of candles were burning quietly, and the crown prince Wang Yin knelt respectfully beside the Southern Emperor.

"If I'm not mistaken, the edict was handed down two months ago. Nanhuang was not looking at Wang Yin either, lying quietly.

"Probably ......"

Wang Yin was about to explain, but was stopped by Nanhuang's hand, and his dry palm was raised and lowered.

Wang Yin stopped talking, just kneeling quietly. There was silence in the dormitory, and the Southern Emperor's heart-rending cough sounded from time to time.
