Before night came, the eldest princess's mansion was already brightly lit, especially the west flower hall used by the eldest princess to entertain important guests, which was full of flowers and candles, shining as if it were day.

There was a faint sound of talking and laughter in the flower hall, but it was not very real, even a princess palace steward waiting in front of the hall could only hear a scale and a half claw.

Two broom guards dressed in brocade robes and rhino armor with white jade waist tags on their waists came out of the hall, pressing their swords on the left and right, and their sharp eyes patrolled around.

When the steward saw this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said softly: "Your Highness has important matters to discuss with the prince of Lanling, and those who have nothing to do with each other will retreat!"

The nearby slaves and servants all saluted the hall in amusement, and then hurriedly withdrew from the courtyard, not daring to look at it or stay longer.

Ji Tianxing, the king of Lanling, who was sitting in the flower hall, saw this scene and complimented him with a smile: "As soon as the younger brother entered Beijing, he heard that the imperial sister did not let the women shave her eyebrows, not only trained a strong team with her own hands, but often went to the mountains to hunt and drive away wild beasts. ”

Although the eldest princess Ji Pheasant is no longer dressed in soft armor when she returned from the mountains, she is still dressed in men's clothes, with a purple and gold crown to tie her hair, and wears a red large-sleeved gold python robe, which is graceful and gorgeous, and extravagant.

She leaned back in her chair rather lazily, supported her chin with one hand, and laughed when she heard the words, and her laughter was very magnetic: "Let me let you evaluate the flowers and trees in the courtyard, how can it be related to some military law." ”

Ji Tianxing also smiled: "As soon as the courtier brother entered the courtyard, he saw the magnificent scene of this flourishing tree, the flowers born on this tree, which are as big as palms, pink and colorful, purple and luxurious, and exude a fragrance quite similar to orchids, I think it is the most prestigious 'orchid tree' in the fief of the king brother of the South China Sea." The imperial sister wants her brother to evaluate the flowers and trees is fake, and the autumn wind that wants to beat her brother is real, right?"

Ji Pheasant laughed when he heard this: "I said a long time ago that among the seven kings of the lineage, Xiaolanling is the most intelligent. It's just that when it comes to sincerity, you can't compare to the South China Sea. Although his fief is the farthest away from Beijing, knowing that the imperial sister and I like the flowers of beauty and wealth the most, he made a special trip to send someone to send a hundred plants over, planted them last year, and finally lived in the yard. ”

Ji Tianxing hurriedly got up, saluted and apologized: "Hearing what the imperial sister said, the younger brother also found that the things brought to the imperial sister from Yunzhou are really vulgar, and I hope that the imperial sister will forgive her sins." ”

Ji Pheasant waved his hand indifferently: "You know, I have never valued these foreign things, just when my mind arrives, not to mention that as soon as you became a vassal, you will go to the 100,000 mountains west of Yunzhou to kill the barbarians, this soldier is in danger of fighting, where can I take care of anything else?"

"Speaking of which, although your time is not long, your growth is really not small. The imperial sister has heard that the father and the emperor praised you at the court meeting, and promoted you to the title of a serious prince of eight hundred. ”

Ji Tianxingfu sat down again and asked puzzledly: "Speaking of the great court meeting, why didn't the imperial sister go to the court today?" At that time, I was still strange and specially asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about this matter. ”

Ji Pheasant shook his head: "Although my father raised the palace as a son, and allowed me to open a mansion and participate in the court meeting, I can't be pampered and arrogant, and it's just a weekday. ”

She seemed to suddenly remember something, and said with a smile: "Originally, I led the cloud broom guard into the mountains to clear the beasts today, and I won a lot, and I was quite complacent, and I felt that if you and I changed places, we would be able to win a battle if we met the demon barbarian tribes in the 100,000 mountains." ”

"I don't want to talk to the black crow captain and the young master of the Gongxi clan today, only to know that I haven't been on the battlefield here, it's really a world of difference, but I underestimate the heroes of the world. ”

"Speaking of which, in the mountains around Jingshi, it is difficult to find a demon beast that has become a climate. Lanling, since you have gone deep into the hinterland of the demon barbarians, you should know the truth and the truth, and tell me, what is the situation of the demons in these 100,000 mountains?"

When Ji Tianxing heard this, he pondered for a moment and said: "The 100,000 mountains are too vast, and the younger brother doesn't dare to say that he has figured out the reality of the demon barbarian, but he has only gained a little." ”

"Although this demon and barbarian are called together, in fact, one is a beast and a human, but the customs in the 100,000 mountains are very different from those of the Zhou people, and each tribe of the barbarians takes the demon beast as a god and totem, and regards the beast as a kin. ”

"The bear barbarian tribe that was exterminated by me is the best at domesticating and driving bear beasts, and once a bear becomes a demon, you can enjoy the offerings of the bear barbarian clan. There are also some people among the bears who are ugly-looking and have some parts of their bodies similar to bears, who are regarded as descendants of ancestral gods, and often have high cultivation talents and status, and other tribes are roughly the same. ”

Ji Pheasant was quite amused when he heard this, and said with a smile: "No wonder these demons are so difficult, and no wonder my father wants to change the suppression to the fuss for the sake of the western expedition, and ordered the king of Runan to recruit the demons into the army." ”

When Ji Tianxing heard this, his face changed slightly, and he said: "It's the younger brother who is stupid and failed to understand the deep meaning of my father's sealing of me in Yunzhou, so that it is self-defeating, but it will take a lot of hard work for Brother Runan." ”

Ji Pheasant raised his eyes and glanced at Ji Tianxing, and sneered: "What you said is a little insincere, I guess I am still complaining about my father and emperor in my heart at this moment, why do you want to deter the barbarians first, and then send Runan to be a good person?"

Ji Tianxing was shocked, and hurriedly shook his head at the moment: "The younger brother doesn't dare, the father has an order, and he should obey it as a son, not to mention that the father and the emperor promoted me to the prince because of this, it's too late to be grateful, how can you complain?"

Ji Pheasant sat up straight and said, "Yes or no, only you know." I have a word to tell you, my father's move is the same as his decision to let Runan suppress Buddhism in the south on the one hand, and secretly support Buddhism in the north on the other hand. Ru Nanan did not show his dissatisfaction because of this, but took the initiative to go to the table before the court meeting and asked Ying to recruit the barbarians to join the army, which is the outstanding feature of Runan. ”

"I guess you also know in your heart, you can easily win this time, isn't it the Son of Heaven who ordered Xue Hou to drag the Yunzhou Demon King? It's just that at this time and that time, this military achievement has achieved your princely title, but it has hindered the western expedition and allowed Runan to get a chance. ”

Ji Tianxing Huo Ran looked up at Ji Pheasant, and said with some shame: "Since the imperial sister has known for a long time, why do you want to come to make fun of your brother?"

Seeing this, Ji Pheasant couldn't help laughing,

She smiled wantonly, not like a little woman, but as hearty as a man.

Ji Pheasant laughed for a moment, and when he saw that Ji Tianxing's face was unhappy, he stopped and continued: "Okay, let's get down to business. What I just said is only one layer of meaning, and there is another layer, this western expedition, my father is going to pull all the demons of the 100,000 mountains into the water, and the Helian clan's entry into the game is just the beginning. How could the Yunzhou Demon King not know about this? It's just that there are too few supernatural demon kings in the demon clan, and he feels that he is alone, so he acquiesces to Helian Ming jumping up and down the river. ”

"You were assassinated by Helian Minghe, but your father didn't see it, it was nothing more than for the sake of the western expedition, so that you could be wronged once, otherwise you would just make a big feat, and it would be too easy to get the position of prince. ”

"Speaking of the Divine Demon King, if there is really a person known today, and there are traces revealed in the past two hundred years, except for this one among the 100,000 mountains, there is only the sick tiger Ishihara. The demon clan is also a clan, and if the father and the emperor and Runan want to do this, the attitude of the sick tiger mountain is particularly important, and this is also the reason why Liu Tugou has been able to jump alive until now. ”

Speaking of this, the eldest princess's smile was a little more narrow: "I heard that a few days ago, you praised Liu Tugou in front of the officials and the people, and you even gave him a public banquet yesterday? ”

Ji Tianxing couldn't help but smile bitterly while being dumbfounded, stood up and saluted respectfully: "Brother is stupid, now that the plan for the western expedition has been decided, he can't even know the intention of his father, so he makes mistakes and laughs generously, which is really ashamed!
