The vermilion walls are not mottled, but the stone and brick roads are degraded, and all kinds of marks are carved on them, some new and some old.

This road has always been called Rongdeng Road, which can only be walked by the ministers of the court and the central government when they have great achievements or the generals who have made meritorious contributions in foreign battles.

At this time, walking on it were Mu Yuanchen and Lin Yan.

The soldiers guarding did not step forward to stop the two people, just because His Majesty's sentence "Rongdeng Road belongs to Yuanchen"!

Lin Yan already knew the story of the young marshal, and what he was thinking about first was Yuan Chen's later.

Mu Yuanchen was in front, walking very slowly, his eyes were watching back and forth on the horse's hoof prints on the ground, and he didn't know what he was looking at.

Lin Yan was behind, although he was puzzled about the follow-up of his story, but it was difficult to speak.

Xu was tired of seeing, he finally raised his head, stepped on the ground under his feet with his foot, and said:

"Do you know what I'm stepping on?"

"O land!"

"What is it on the ground?"

"Ah......" Lin Yan looked down, his eyes lingering on those horseshoe prints, and then smiled: "It's glory, the glory of the Demon Clan's Imperial City." ”

"Yes, it's glory, but it's not the glory of the Demon Clan's Imperial City, it's the glory of those soldiers who fought bloodily and stained the battlefield with blood. ”

The words of the demon lord have no reason to refute, these glories do belong to them, and as for the imperial city, they just sit back and enjoy their glory.

Looking at the silent Lin Yan, the demon lord asked again:

"What kind of attitude do you think I have towards war, don't have any scruples, just say whatever you want!"

Hearing what he said, Lin Yan didn't have too many scruples, and said directly:

"Earlier I thought you were a belligerent man, but now I don't think so. ”

"No, you're right, I'm a belligerent, I love the gallop of the field, and I like the spear to laugh at the enemy's command, but I also hate war. ”

He became famous because of the war, it is far-fetched to say that he doesn't like it, but if you say that he likes it, it is ridiculous, people are always contradictory!

"It's annoying, but it's always hard to avoid, anytime, anywhere. ”

"yes, can't avoid ......"

With a light sigh, Mu Yuanchen walked forward, the last time he passed by this road, he was still a young marshal admired by everyone at that time, but this time even the guards in the palace city needed to be a little older to remember themselves.

Looking at the back of this depression, Lin Yan couldn't help but wonder:

"What did you bring me here for?"

"Because the story I'm going to tell starts here......"

From here, Lin Yan looked at the imperial city behind him, wanting to hear the story of its past.

That year, the cold winter, the triumphant army!

Mu Yuanchen took the lead, standing at the head of the army, holding the silver spear in his hand is a picture that many people in the imperial city remember from their hearts.

The goose feathers and snow are falling, a silver armor shines on the cold light, and a dragon spear is sharp!

No matter how heavy the snow is, he can't bury him in the wind and snow, nor can he bury the tens of thousands of troops behind him, let alone the blood and bones on the field.

Heaven and earth are plain white, but these tens of thousands of troops are so conspicuous in this plain white snow scene, and the heaven and earth are as if they are giants standing up to the sky and the earth at that moment.

This is glory, the glory of blood and bones, and this glory pushes Mu Yuanchen's prestige to the highest point, and also pushes Mu Yuanchen to the deepest abyss......

Since ancient times, emperors have been suspicious, perhaps, with the relationship between Mu Xiao and Mu Yuanchen, the current Demon Emperor will not have any other scruples about Mu Yuanchen, but the old Demon Emperor is different.

The old demon emperor is a successful demon emperor, otherwise he would not have overcome all difficulties to support his most talented daughter to take over the affairs of the kingdom, otherwise he would not rather have to betray the world's infamy than exclude the young marshal Mu Yuanchen from the Western Regions Demon Forest.

But he miscalculated one thing, the degree of love between Mu Xiao and Mu Yuanchen was miscalculated by him.

He once thought that his daughter would give up Mu Yuanchen because of the supreme position and the common people in the world, but he was wrong, he would never have thought that his daughter would be forced to die.

The development of the story surprised everyone, and Mu Xiao committed suicide.

"What, the Demon Emperor committed suicide, so who is the current Demon Emperor?" Lin Yan exclaimed.

The demon lord glanced at him and said coldly:

"If you want to keep listening, don't talk!"

"Oh......"

The current demon emperor is naturally Mu Xiao, although she committed suicide, she did not really pass away.

At that time, the old demon emperor and Mu Yuanchen saw that things had developed to such a point, and everyone regretted it, but it was not helpless.

The realm of the old demon emperor is the early stage of the divine soul, and the young marshal Mu Yuanchen has also reached the consummation of cultivating the gods; if you want to save Mu Xiao, you have to join forces with the two of you and change your life against the sky!

But it was so easy to go against the sky, although Mu Xiao was saved, but the two of them paid a heavy price.

The Demon Emperor's body was already weak, and he passed away after rescuing Mu Xiao.

At this time, Mu Yuanchen also understood the Demon Emperor's concerns, ignored Mu Xiao's retention, resigned from Shuai Yin, and went to the region where his initial consciousness was awakened - the Western Regions Demon Forest.

The story ended, Lin Yan still had doubts, looked at him, and asked:

"You, and at what price?"

"The price?"

Mu Yuanchen looked up at the sky, suddenly his eyes turned red, and he muttered:

"Isn't it the biggest price in front of you?"

In front of him, looking at him walking away, Lin Yan seemed to understand, his price was the regression of the realm and the aging of his appearance.

"It's windy, it's windy......"

Lin Yan looked up at the gray sky, and at this moment, a stream of hot tears seemed to linger in his eyes, and he couldn't fall for a long time......

The story is over, and it is the old demon emperor who feels hateful in the eyes of the couple, but everything the old demon emperor does in the eyes of the royal family is reasonable.

There is no right or wrong in this story, just like in love, no one is right or wrong, there are just people who should appear when they shouldn't!

......

Three days later, the high platform of the large square in front of the imperial city gate has been built, and high-rise buildings have been set up around to sit down, and the demon forest martial arts meeting is finally about to open.

The people of the Imperial City or the people from other places who came from afar also gathered here, and the Imperial City was surrounded for a while!

The Imperial City Janissaries had already been erected aside, and maintaining order was also to prevent any trouble.

The demon kings have already stood on top of the imperial tower, so they are qualified to sit on the tower.

Lin Yan was regarded as a guest and on the same level as the demon lord, and the positions of the other three kings were all under the demon lord, which surprised most of the people were young people or outsiders.

"The Demon Emperor has arrived!"

With a sound of heart, the kings and the ministers got up, the ministers knelt, and the kings bowed!

"Get up!"

The Demon Emperor sat on the Luan chair in the city tower, and on his left was the demon lord closest to her, and he had the closest heart to her.

Seeing that the ministers were in place, the Demon Emperor got up again and said:

"The martial arts meeting is about to start, but this year there is some surprise, and the person who presided over the start of the martial arts meeting is not me. ”

"What?"

"How could it be ......?"

"Who's that?"

For a while, with the words of the Demon Emperor, all the ministers were discussing, and the Tiger King's eyes were also asking about his eldest brother, but the Demon Lord also shook his head in confusion.

The Demon Emperor seemed to have deliberately let everyone talk about it for so long, and when everyone was talking about it, he spoke again and said:

"The person who presided over the opening of the martial arts meeting this time is the princess of my demon dynasty!"

"Princess of the Demon Dynasty?"

The ministers speculated that it was the princess who married abroad and returned to the imperial capital, but it seems that no princess has returned to the imperial capital in recent days?

Mu Yuanchen's eyes were fixed, looking at the Demon Emperor full of doubts, he had probably guessed who it was, but he really didn't know what the identity of that person was, and he forgot to ask her a few days ago.

"Alright, it's almost time, Princess Yuhuang, please. ”

Princess Yuhuang, everyone was stunned, and it seemed that they had never heard of this person.

The demon lord's thoughts are also constantly turning, it stands to reason that the canonization of the princess should be notified to the hundred officials, but looking at the appearance of everyone, it seems that they didn't know before, so Mu Xiao's purpose in doing this can only be according to the regular procedure, it is difficult for this person to canonize the princess, and he wants to take this opportunity to help her correct her name, but who is enough to make the demon emperor make this decision?

Lin Yan was also curious, and looked at it with a long look.

Under the city tower, the Praetorian Guards guarded the surroundings tightly, and dozens of palace maids slowly stepped out of the city gate, carrying flower baskets and scattering them along the road.

"What a big show!"

Lin Yan sighed, and was even more curious about what the princess of this demon clan looked like?

The flowers fell to the ground, and the palace maids stood on both sides of the road, but they still didn't see the figure of the phoenix princess.

"Whew......"

Suddenly, a sharp scream sounded, and then everyone saw a golden flame suddenly rushing from the imperial city to Wutai.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yan was stunned, and the demon lord's eyes also shrank, looking a little incredulous, and his eyes looking at Wutai became more focused.

The golden flames dissipated, and a woman wearing a light veil and a white dress with a cloak of feathers appeared in front of everyone.

The scene seemed to be quiet all of a sudden, and the woman wanted to see her face through the light veil, but unfortunately, nothing was found.

Her slender fingers suddenly moved, and her whole body slowly danced with it.

Flowers suddenly swirled around her, forming a flower-covered storm, and she was the center of the storm.

During the soft dance, everyone couldn't help but be a little stupid, and the person who looked at the dancing in the field chose to be silent.

Her hands suddenly spread out, and her body slowly levitated, accompanied by the petals dancing slightly around her.

In the midst of everyone's doubts, they saw that her hands suddenly closed above her head, and a golden bird figure slowly appeared behind her.

"Phoenix...... It's the phoenix ......"

In the crowd, I don't know who shouted, everyone comprehended, and looking at the flickering figure was a phoenix.

The people knelt down one after another, and the ministers followed closely behind, and even the three kings and the demon lord stood up and saluted the void.

It's such a big battle, although Lin Yan is puzzled, he thinks that the phoenix is the emperor of the white bird and wants to come to receive this worship, but the person who is suspended in mid-air, Lin Yan is puzzled, she doesn't seem to be a demon, but a person, to be precise, a demon cultivator!
