In Yanjing, inside a luxurious mansion.
A man in a gorgeous robe walked through nurous long corridors and hurriedly rushed towards a large hall.
At the entrance of the hall, there were several servants who quickly surrounded him.
"Master, the visitor is already waiting in the main hall, but their behavior is extrely arrogant. Your servant..." The leading servant reported.
"Shut up! Don't be impolite!" The man in the gorgeous robe glared.
"Yes!" The servant was startled and imdiately dared not complain anymore.
"Everyone leave and don't disturb and the honored guest!" The man in the gorgeous robe said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" The servants quickly retreated.
The man in the gorgeous robe straightened his clothes and then stepped into the hall.
In the hall, there was currently a woman in white sitting there, wearing a white gauze hat. Her face couldn't be seen, but her figure, set off by the white clothes, was extrely plump.
With a full bosom and curvaceous hips, she had a great feminine charm. But she was also wearing a set of plain white elegant clothes, making elegance and charm coexist, which was extrely impactful.
Although the hat hadn't been lifted, just this appearance could make countless n burn with passion.
"Changqing pays respects to the eldest miss!"
The man in the gorgeous robe didn't have the slightest trace of blasphemous expression. There was only respect.
The woman was holding a cup of tea. She put down the cup and gently lifted the hat.
As the hat was lifted, an extrely beautiful face was revealed. Her skin was fairer than snow, her eyebrows were like thin willows, her lips were delicate and her nose was like jade. The slender jade neck, combined with a beauty mark under the left corner of her eye, made people inexplicably have an irresistible desire when looking at her.
But her clear eyes were like an iceberg, keeping people thousands of miles away.
This woman, without saying a word, just from her appearance, demonstrated two different temperants of ice and fire.
"Changqing, in just a few years, you have already beco the pri minister of Yan Kingdom? Well done!" The woman smiled slightly.
This smile was like a hundred flowers blooming. Even though Changqing had respect in his heart, he was still slightly stunned.
Quickly lowering his head, Changqing's face flushed slightly and he didn't dare to look at the woman more.
"Miss, you overpraise . It's just the mortal court. I have been here for several years. How could I be diocre?" Changqing said modestly.
"The mortal world? Hehe, father sent several of you into the mortal courts to collect various court information. How are you doing?" The woman asked.
"The matter that the dean entrusted, Changqing naturally dare not forget. I have compiled all kinds of information about the mortal court into a book so that the eldest miss can bring it back to the academy and give it to the dean." Changqing said solemnly.
"That's good!" The woman nodded and said with satisfaction.
"Miss, is it useful for our academy for us to enter the mortal courts?" Changqing was sowhat puzzled.
The woman sighed slightly.
"Among the four major academies in the world, although our 'Julu Academy' is on an equal footing with the whole world, the academy is ultimately just an accessory to the major sects. The luck is saturated and cannot be advanced further. Although no one dares to offend us, there is always a feeling of being under soone else's roof. Every ti the Heavenly Confernt Conference is actually making wedding dresses for others. Once there is chaos in the world, our academy will definitely be the first to bear the brunt! To protect ourselves, we have to strengthen ourselves. Father searched through ancient books all over the world and finally found a few words in an ancient classic!" The woman said in a deep voice.
"Ancient classic?"
"Yes. Although it's just a few words, it gave father a glimr of hope. He hopes that you few can find the hope for the prosperity of the academy in the various courts!" The woman said solemnly.
"Don't worry, miss. We will do our best!" Changqing said solemnly.
"Well, in these few days you have been in Yan Kingdom, what do you think of Yan Kingdom?" The woman asked curiously.
"If you're not in it, you won't understand its subtleties. The court also has its own complexity. Take Yan Kingdom as an example. In fact, there are various complex forces that are obvious, hidden, and latent!" Changqing thought for a while and said.
"Oh? Tell about it!" The woman asked with a smile.
"The first force is the Emperor of Yan, the honored one of a country, who is the leader!"
"The second force is the Zhao family, who controls thirty percent of Yan Kingdom's military forces! Even, there are still things I can't see through."
"These two sides are the ones with the greatest power and strength!" Changqing introduced.
"Well, what else?" The woman continued to ask.
"The third force is a dying old man!"
"Oh?"
"His na is Yifeng. He was the grand tutor of three dynasties and has outstanding ability. But now he is an old and weak man, ninety-two years old and not far from death! He has already resigned and is living in retirent at ho. However, this person has students and old subordinates all over Yan Kingdom. There are his students and old subordinates in all major forces. Although he has no power at all, his reputation is unrivaled."
"Oh? An old man?"
"Yes. If he were still in court, how could I beco the pri minister in such a short ti? I have checked his information. This person's life is quite legendary. When he was young, he was just a chess player. With his extrely strong talent in Go, in just three years, he visited all the famous chess players in Yan Kingdom and defeated all of them. Later, he entered the court and assisted three generations of emperors, expanding the territory of Yan Kingdom by a whole one ti. At the age of seventy, he resigned and retired. He didn't let his children and grandchildren enter the court but only let his descendants engage in business. Under his guidance, in just ten years, he beca the richest man in Yan Kingdom, as rich as a country."
"Oh? This person is quite capable!"
"Yes, he is quite capable. Unfortunately, there is one thing that he can't change in his life!"
"What?"
"Root bone. Yifeng's root bone is extrely poor. Even back then, Yan Tao of Yan Kingdom once found pills from the cultivation world for him, but they still couldn't increase his cultivation. His cultivation is extrely slow. His root bone is like rusty copper! What a pity!"
"What a pity!" The woman nodded.
"Of course, there are also so small forces, small families, and people with small reputations. I won't introduce those. The last one I want to introduce is a person with a very special identity! In Great Yan Kingdom, the Co-Prince, Yan Chuan!" Changqing thought for a while and said.
"Yan Chuan?"
"Yes. This person enjoys the glory of his predecessors. His father was once the emperor of Yan Kingdom. Later, he entered the cultivation world and now he is dead. He inherited the title and his status is equal to that of the Emperor of Yan. Unfortunately, he has no power or influence. He only has the highest status in na!" Changqing said with pity.
"Have you t this person?"
"No. But I am quite puzzled. He is seventeen years old this year and lives in seclusion in the mountains. But so ti ago, he sent the body of the eldest son of the Zhao family to the Emperor of Yan. I don't know if it was intentional or not. It's hard to say!"
"Is there also soone you can't see through?"
"Without seeing the person, Changqing really dare not talk nonsense!" Changqing smiled.
"Clatter clatter clatter clatter!"
Suddenly, there ca a series of hoofbeats from outside, and the sound seed to pass by the pri minister's mansion.
"Hmm?" Changqing frowned.
"What's wrong?"
"Miss, today's five-nation conference. Riding horses is strictly prohibited in the city. But this sound seems to be quite a lot!" Changqing frowned and said.
"Three thousand and five horses!" The woman imdiately reported the number.
"Miss has excellent hearing. Changqing admires it!" Changqing smiled.
"I'm just a bit better at counting. Go and ask about it!" The woman smiled.
"Okay!" Changqing responded.
"Co!" Changqing shouted to the outside.
Soon, the previous servant ran in. And the woman put on her hat in ti.
"What's going on outside?" Changqing asked.
"Master, the Co-Prince has returned!"
"The Co-Prince?"
"Yes. There was a servant in our family who happened to be at the city gate earlier. The three thousand Guarding the Monarch Camp are now all wearing magnificent brocade robes and riding sweat-blooded horses. They are in colorful clothes and on galloping horses, extrely majestic! The one in the lead destroyed the city gate with just one spear and three thousand people rode into the city!"
"Oh? The Co-Prince?" The woman was curious.
"It's the one just ntioned, Yan Chuan! The son of Yan Tao!" Changqing explained.
"The son of Yan Tao?"
"Yes. Yan Tao was extrely outstanding in the Heavenly Confernt Conference back then. A remarkable talent. What a pity. But generally speaking, like father, like son. Let's go and take a look!" The woman smiled.
"If the miss is interested, then let's go!" Changqing smiled.
...
In Yanjing, in the palace, in the crown prince's palace.
The crown prince, Yan Wudi, was sitting cross-legged and adjusting his breath with his eyes closed.
Opposite him, King Dugu Jian was staring at Yan Wudi and carefully supervising Yan Wudi's cultivation.
"How can you practice swords when your heart is not calm?" King Dugu Jian said in a deep voice.
Yan Wudi slowly opened his eyes and looked at King Dugu Jian. "Teacher, today's five-nation conference happens once every twenty years. I am a bit worried about Father!"
"You have already stepped into the cultivation world. Mortal worldly affairs are no longer related to you. What are you still worried about? Moreover, the three guardians who went to the feng shui formation with you have swallowed dragon qi and are all now at the Essence Realm. With them around, why do you need to worry?" King Dugu Jian said in a deep voice.
"What teacher said is right!" Yan Wudi's brows slightly relaxed.
"That poison master escaped and is recuperating nearby. I can feel it. After I kill the poison master, I will take you to my Dugu family!" King Dugu Jian said in a deep voice.
"Teacher, who is that poison master?" Yan Wudi was curious.
"A feng shui master. At the sa ti, he is also my sworn enemy!" King Dugu Jian glared and said.
"Sworn enemy?" Yan Wudi nodded.
"Report!" Suddenly, a cry of anxiety ca from outside the hall.
Yan Wudi looked at King Dugu Jian. King Dugu Jian nodded.
"Co in!" Yan Wudi called out.
Soon, a guard rushed in.
"Report to the crown prince. The Co-Prince has returned to the capital and has also brought back the Guarding the Monarch Camp. He is rampaging in Yanjing!" The guard reported.
"The Co-Prince?" King Dugu Jian was puzzled.
"Teacher, the Co-Prince is that uncle. You t him in the formation last ti. Yan Chuan!" Yan Wudi explained.
"Yan Chuan?" King Dugu Jian's expression changed slightly.
Last ti when they t briefly, Yan Chuan left a deep impression on King Dugu Jian.
...
Outside the drill ground entrance outside the palace in Yanjing.
"Whoa!"
As the reins were pulled, the three thousand sweat-blooded horses suddenly neighed loudly, and the sound spread in all directions.
Yan Chuan's horse was at the front.
Sitting on the tall horse, Yan Chuan looked at a group of soldiers holding weapons in front of him.
"Who are you? Get off your horse and surrender!" The leading general shouted.
"You blind dog. This is the Co-Prince. Why don't you pay respects?" Liu Jin's hoarse voice suddenly ca.
"The Co-Prince?" The soldiers' expressions changed.
Liu Jin quickly took out a token! The token was purple gold with the five characters 'Co-Prince' on it.
"Pay respects to the Prince!" Everyone imdiately bowed.
"How long has the five-nation conference been going on?" Yan Chuan asked indifferently.
"It has been two days and two nights!" The leading general truthfully said.
"Who has co?" Yan Chuan asked.
"Zheng State, Chu State, Han State, and Wei State! All the crown princes are here in person, as well as the guardians of various countries and their respective armies!" The general truthfully said.
"Oh? The guardian of Zheng State has also co? Has Liu Gang co?" Yan Chuan asked with a smile.
"Yes. The people of Zheng State are extrely arrogant this ti! Before the five-nation conference, they even injured several of our brothers." The general frowned and said.
"Arrogant? Hahaha, get out of the way. I want to go in!" Yan Chuan laughed.
The general looked at Yan Chuan, frowned and thought for a while. In the end, he didn't dare to block the way. "Yes!"
"Prince, should this old servant prepare your seat?" Liu Jin said at the right ti.
"Go!" Yan Chuan nodded knowingly.
"Five hundred people, follow !" Liu Jin looked at the soldiers in brocade clothes.
"Yes!" A young general responded.
"Giddyap!"
The troops were divided into two. Yan Chuan led two thousand five hundred soldiers in brocade clothes and rushed straight towards the drill ground. Liu Jin led five hundred soldiers in brocade clothes and rushed straight towards the palace.
