In Qingquan Palace, Yan Long saw a happy royal family banquet, at least on the surface. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In addition to the Apocalypse itself, a group of concubines, Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, and Zhu Jiarou, the lord of Yunhuang County, were present. The most striking is undoubtedly the crown prince Zhu Cijiong, the future successor of the Ming Empire is not yet three years old, but he was born extremely intelligent, able to recite scriptures and historical classics at a young age, and has his own unique opinions.

His mother, Concubine Rong, was beautiful and gentle, and was extremely favored by the apocalypse. Ren was dedicated to the Emperor of the Apocalypse by Wei Zhongxian, and it is said that she was Wei Zhongxian's grandniece and granddaughter in Wei County, Hebei, so Zhu Cijiong also had the blood of the Wei Changgong family.

The two sons before the apocalypse, Zhu Ciran and Zhu Cijiong, both died young, but Zhu Cijiong survived.

It is rumored in the palace that these two former princes were the emperor's nurse Ke Shi who colluded to kill Wei Changgong, these rumors are very good, and even the details of how the Hakka family murdered the two princes were said, but in the final analysis, the Emperor of the Apocalypse is not taken seriously at all, so these rumors can only be rumors, and they cannot be implemented, because with the current power of Wei Changgong, no one dares to investigate.

Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse looked at Zhu Cijiong who was running and playing in the garden in the Qingquan Palace with satisfaction, and was in a good mood, so he immediately issued an order to go to the palace of Jingxiao Python Mountain on a certain day, in addition to celebrating the victory of Liaodong, but also to let the prince absorb the vitality of heaven and earth on the peak of Python Mountain, so as to speed up the recovery of the body.

Python Mountain is said to be the place where the spiritual energy of the Gyeonggi area gathers, and it has always been known as the head of the dragon. In the early years of the Apocalypse, after the Emperor of the Apocalypse succeeded to the throne, the body was weak and weak, the spirit was malaise, the nightmare and night dreams, all were ghosts and shadows, according to the national teacher Xiao Daoling, it was invaded by evil spirits, so the Apocalypse moved to the palace of Python Mountain for a period of time, and the Xiao Daoling Cloth Array protected the soul and concentrated the mind, and the spirit was upright, and in less than a few days, the Apocalypse felt refreshed and refreshed, and the spirit was vigorous.

Therefore, the Python Mountain Palace has always been regarded as a blessed land by the Apocalypse.

In Yan Long's memory, Zhu Cijiong, the crown prince in the history of the Ming Dynasty, was not born in the second year of the Apocalypse, but at the end of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, that is to say, if you follow the normal trend of history, Zhu Cijiong has not been born yet.

But the system also once told Yan Long that his arrival had completely changed the order of this time and space, so it would inevitably change the course of history. Thinking of this, Yan Long was also relieved.

If history can't be changed, then what's the point of coming to this time and space?

If it is destined to change, wouldn't it be better to make it upside down and completely change it yourself?!

Three days later, the emperor issued an order to move the palace on the top of Python Mountain to recuperate, accompanied by the prince Zhu Cijiong, a group of concubines, Wei Zhongxian, the governor of Dongchang, the Hakka family, Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, and Zhu Jiarou, the lord of Yunhuang County. The forces of the escort include the vanguard of the government army (that is, the sword guards of the forbidden palace), the right guard of Yulin, and the camp of the Han generals of the Jinyi guard. Yan Long, as the commander in charge of the Han General's camp in Jinyi Weizhong, also went with him.

From the Forbidden City to the western suburbs of Python Mountain, there are more than 80 miles, although it is not far, but the emperor travels, the battle is naturally extraordinary, the guard of honor is several miles long, the mighty to the Python Mountain, overlooking from the air, it is like a giant dragon winding, very spectacular.

That night, when they arrived at Python Mountain, the eunuchs of the palace packed everything in the palace. Hanging up the curtains, lighting the palace lamps, heating the stove, and laying down the delicacies, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was in a good mood and was drunk at the banquet that night.

Staying overnight in the palace, the sleeping palace where the Emperor of the Apocalypse lives is the driest and most sunny place in the entire palace, that is, the place where the vitality of heaven and earth gathers the most as said by Xiao Daoling, the protector of the country.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse and the crown prince Zhu Cijiong should not have lived in the same dormitory, but there was a side hall in the Apocalypse Bedroom, so under the instruction of the Apocalypse, Zhu Cijiong lived in the side hall.

At night, the Han general camp under Yan Long's jurisdiction was incorporated into the garrison patrol sequence of the Yulin Right Guard, responsible for serving as a guard in the palace when he was in the son.

Although Yan Long himself did not have a patrol mission, he still personally led the Jinyi guards of the Han General Camp to start patrolling the entire palace when he was a child.

The light of torches and lanterns illuminated the entire palace so brightly that even the sky seemed to be dyed with a hint of red, and every corner was cleaned up by special personnel to ensure that there would be no dangerous elements hidden and endanger the safety of the royal family.

And inside the palace, five steps and one post, ten steps and one sentry, the security is strict, compared with the Forbidden City, not inferior at all. So, sometimes, patrols seem redundant and useless at all except to make some noise.

Yan Long took the patrol guards and circled the entire palace.

Everything is fine, nothing happens!

When it was time to hand over the shift, Yan Long came to the guard camp next to the emperor's dormitory, and was about to hand over to the next shift of the Yulin Right Guard.

The general of the unified army of Yulin's right guard is Zhong Yuan, who has dealt with Yan Long in the Zuifeng Building, and he can be regarded as an acquaintance. Zhong Yuan had a good impression of Yan Long, and felt that he was not as arrogant as the other Jinyi guards.

Among the gods summoned by Yan Long to help kill the gods, Xu Huang served as the commander of the Yulin Right Guard under Zhong Yuan, and was regarded as the second person in the Yulin Right Guard.

Yan Long and Zhong Yuan were in the middle of the handover, and suddenly, a burst of thunder exploded in the sky, and I saw that the night sky that was originally moonlit and starry was covered with dark clouds.

Zhong Yuan looked up at the sky and sighed: "Alas, as soon as it is our turn to be on duty at night, it will thunder and rain, and our luck is really bad." ”

Yan Long said with a smile: "General Zhong, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, no one can expect it, let the brothers put on their cloaks, and they can keep out the rain." ”

Zhong Yuan said with a wry smile: "When I went out of the capital, who would have thought that there would be this thunderstorm in winter, and the little ones didn't bring rainproof cloaks!"

Yan Long smiled and said, "The brocade guards have belts, let people get them and put them on for the brothers first." ”

"Oh, then thank you Lord Yan. Zhong Yuan smiled heartily.

At this time, the brocade guards of the Han General's camp were still patrolling, and Yan Long and Zhong Yuan were waiting for them to finish the last shift before they officially handed over.

The thunder in the sky grew louder and louder, and the wind blew on a person's body like an ice blade on his skin.

Suddenly, a thunderbolt exploded on an old banyan tree on the top of the mountain, splitting the banyan tree into a pillar of fire.

Yan Long suddenly felt something!

He sensed the unusualness of the changes in heaven and earth in the midst of these changes.

- And the condensation point of this anomaly is the main hall where the Emperor of the Apocalypse and the crown prince live!

This aberration, unlike all the previous dangerous feelings, is different.

- It was something Yan Long had never felt before, as if it was a threat from another world.

It's a feeling that's both familiar and dangerous!

The familiarity is because of the feeling of the Xuan Force, and the danger is because of the endless killing intent carried in the Xuan Force!

- Invasion of the Occult!

As soon as he thought of this, Yan Long immediately disappeared like a ghost. The Emperor of the Apocalypse now trusted him, and if he died, it would not be a good thing for Yan Long.
