It was stated on the invitation that the auction will be held on the tenth day of next month, and they still have a month to prepare.

Now almost all the cultivator elites of the five realms are gathering at Suotian Pass, and the pass at Buried Bone Ridge must have added a lot of pressure out of thin air.

The disciples who received the invitations in the academy had already asked for leave for various reasons. Xiao Yunjin thought about it a little, and sent Xiang Yu and Xie Wenrui to lead the elite teams he trained in the early years to support Suotianguan.

You can go out at will, but if you enter the Five Realms from outside the Suotian Pass, you need to be strictly censored. cost.

And he and Qin Changyuan set off earlier for Cangxuan King's capital, Kang Ye.

Kangye is a thousand-year-old capital, and the Cangxuan Dynasty took root here. In the early years, there was a saying that Kangye was the head of the dragon, and the establishment of the capital here meant that Kangye was the king of Kangye. Always be the real dragon emperor.

The purpose of Xiao Yunjin's trip this time was to borrow troops from Cangxuan, so he did not hide his identity, and drove slowly on the official road of Kang Ye in a carriage engraved with the simple word "Zhongzhou".

Both sides of the carriage were accompanied by disciples from the Sword Dao Sect, and the light green hem fluttered with the wind, giving birth to some immortal aloofness for no reason.

Sitting on the carriage, Qin Changyuan curiously opened a gap in the curtain, and sighed, "Kang Ye has changed a lot."

This is not the first time he has come to Kang Ye. When he carried the Chuyun Sword on his back and traveled through the Five Realms, he was invited by the emperor at that time to strengthen the national fortune formation for them. Kang Ye at that time was more lively than it is now. It's not as beautiful as it is now, but there are smiles on the faces of the people who come and go.

The buildings on both sides of the official road are tall buildings. Although the street is not deserted, it is not as noisy as it used to be. I don’t know if it is the influence of the holy war back then. There are monsters on the side. had an impact.

Xiao Yunjin said: "Now it's not the same as before, the incident in Northern Xinjiang has weakened Cang Xuan a lot."

Qin Changyuan put down the curtain, and muttered softly: "I used to be able to see the pastry shop on the street, but now I can't see it anymore. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing."

Xiao Yun pampered him now, and said: "Nowadays the street vendors have a lot of rules, if you want to eat, you can buy some when we leave the palace later."

Qin Changyuan smiled twice: "That's good."

The carriage stopped slowly in front of the palace gate, and the emperor personally sent someone to pick it up.

Horse-drawn carriages are not allowed in the palace, so Qin Changyuan and Xiao Yunjin went to the countryside to do as the Romans do, got off the carriage and walked into the palace.

Kang Ye's palace has been built thousands of years ago, and I don't know what materials were used at that time. After so many years of wind and rain, it is still as stable as new.

Seen from the outside, the palace looks like a dormant monster, showing a bit of simplicity and desolation.

They were brought into the Palace of Wenxuan, where the emperor summoned the ministers to discuss matters. Qin Changyuan and Xiao Yunjin looked at each other, said nothing, and waited patiently for the little eunuch who came in to communicate.

Soon the eunuch came to tell them to go, and the two of them settled down and walked in.

But he didn't see the emperor inside.

Waiting for them in Bucha is the current Prime Minister, Lu Ruojia.

The curtain was lifted, and a ray of sunlight shone in. Lu Ruojia turned her head and smiled at them.

Qin Changyuan nodded to him, and smiled politely back: "President Lu."

Lu Ruojia didn't seem to want to be polite with him, he made tea for the two of them, and said slowly: "Master Xiao, Mr. Qin, please sit down."

After sitting down, Xiao Yunjin took a sip of tea, Qin Changyuan didn't like tea, so he didn't move.

Lu Ruojia didn't seem to want to talk to Xiao Yunjin, he kept looking at Qin Changyuan: "Changyuan, there are only three of us in Wenxuan Hall today, why don't we talk about those empty etiquettes?"

Qin Changyuan raised his eyelids to look at Lu Ruojia, and suddenly felt that the gentle and polite Lu Xiang, who hid his knife in his smile, was just a counterfeit with Lu Ruojia's name on it, who could really cry and ramble while holding his arm and talking nonsense. Lu Ruojia died after the Chuitian Realm Grand Competition.

Qin Changyuan endured the repulsion in his heart, and said, "Xiao Jia, that's up to you."

Lu Ruojia seemed finally satisfied. Seeing that the tea in Qin Changyuan's cup was cold, his eyes darkened, and he said, "Changyuan, you are still the same as before."

Xiao Yunjin gently put down the teacup, and said: "Lu Xiang, in my opinion, this is not a good time to reminisce about the past."

Lu Ruojia looked like a fox at the moment, he bent his eyes and smiled: "Look at my memory, Your Majesty has already told me that the monster races outside Suotian Pass are staring at you. Use a new type of soldier?"

Xiao Yunjin lowered his eyes and sat firmly like a clock: "Exactly."

Lu Ruojia showed some embarrassment on his face: "Master Xiao, you must have seen the current national strength of our Cangxuan. It is really overwhelmed. It is even more impossible for us to let the soldiers die."

Xiao Yunjin raised his eyelids and looked at him. In the final analysis, Lu Ruojia was too young, and he felt a bit of fear in Xiao Yunjin's indifferent eyes.

In the silence, Qin Changyuan said: "Xiaojia, the Yanhuang Pavilion is rushing to manufacture a batch of new long guns, and an emergency restriction is added on the basis of the original one, which can leave a trail for those who hold the guns. Life, what's more, the monster clan is by no means all the generation with high monster power..."

"Long wish is His Majesty's intention."

Qin Changyuan's words were stopped.

"This is also the reason why I am here, not His Majesty. We, Cangxuan, cannot borrow it."

Qin Changyuan's faint smile froze on his face, and he raised his eyes to look at Lu Ruojia: "Xiao Jia, I have heard that His Majesty is now very old, and most of the official documents are reviewed by the Prime Minister and finally submitted to the Son of Heaven. before."

Lu Ruojia straightened her body and looked at him: "Long wish, what do you mean?"

"I don't mean anything. Your Majesty is in a sick bed right now. Maybe he doesn't know what the five realms are like now." Qin Changyuan's eyes were dark, "Even if he knows about it, it's possible he can make the right decision How many? How could he know that the invitations sent by Mu Tianqiu to the five realms are very likely to send the five realms to the road of destruction?"

"And you know all of this, Prime Minister Guo."

Lu Ruojia smiled: "Long wish, you really think highly of me, even if I am the prime minister of the country now, I still can't have the ability to cover the sky..."

Qin Changyuan pushed the teacup aside: "Lu Xiang, take ten thousand steps back, we don't ask Cangxuan, please."

Lu Ruojia was startled.

"To keep you safe, the Son of Heaven gave you an army of one thousand men, and you can dispatch it at will." Qin Changyuan looked straight into Lu Ruojia's eyes, "Would you like to do us this favor?"

Lu Ruojia looked away: "Those soldiers are not elite soldiers."

Xiao Yunjin sat there steadily, with Lu Ruojia's image reflected in his light-colored pupils.

Lu Ruojia suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and the corners of his mouth could no longer curl up.

It was as heavy as a thousand weights.

He said softly: "Qin Changyuan, wake up, this is Kang Ye, not Zhongzhou Academy."

Qin Changyuan's breath in his chest condensed into a ball because of Lu Ruojia's words, supporting him to sit up straight.

"Qin Changyuan, we Cangxuan people are just mortals, and the invitations are sent to you and not to us, that is to say," Lu Ruojia said heartlessly, "this matter has nothing to do with us."

Qin Changyuan's anger came out of nowhere: "It has nothing to do with you?"

"To put it bluntly, Cangxuan is now attached to you. If it is like the family before the holy war, it is not impossible for us to change the object of attachment."

Xiao Yunjin secretly held Qin Changyuan's hand, signaling him not to get angry.

The tea in Lu Ruojia's cup was also cold.

Qin Changyuan had blue veins popping out of his forehead: "Cultivators and mortals are born from the same origin. Now you mean, you are willing to live with the cruel, greedy and bloodthirsty race of the Yaozu?"

Lu Ruojia did not back down: "Yes, I am willing, it makes no difference to us."

Qin Changyuan jumped up against the case: "You bastard!"

"Do you know how the monster race cultivates? They swallow the flesh and blood of young children!"

Lu Ruojia lowered his eyes: "If we make an agreement with them in advance, they will restrain themselves."

Qin Changyuan gritted his teeth and said, "How did Master Wu Nian agree with Yaozu back then? The agreement was signed. If they really kept their promises, how did the jihad break out?"

"Or, do you have a better way than Master Wu Nian?"

Xiao Yunjin raised his hand to caress Qin Changyuan's back, like smoothing the fur of a small animal: "Changyuan, don't get angry."

He hit it again and again, very patiently.

Then he looked at Lu Ruojia indifferently, and said, "According to what Prime Minister Lu said, no matter what, you will not lend us your soldiers today?"

Lu Ruojia: "Yes."

Xiao Yunjin got up with Qin Changyuan, and said softly: "Changyuan, let's go."

Before Qin Changyuan followed Xiao Yunjin out of the palace gate, he turned around suddenly, his voice had calmed down, and said: "Lu Xiang, Qin has nothing to teach you, I just want to send you a word."

"The real great Confucianism lies not in finding chapters and excerpts, but in knowing the world."

Xiao Yunjin nodded politely: "Farewell."

Lu Ruojia has been standing behind, quietly watching the two walk into the piercing white light, and finally disappear.

The moment Qin Changyuan left, Lu Ruojia knew that he had nothing to do with Zhongzhou Academy or the Five Realms anymore.

He slowly walked out of the gate of the palace, looking at the many towers, with a hoarse voice: "Heaven and earth, I am alone, what world is worth my painstaking efforts to guard?"

His desire has always been to become stronger.

When he was young, he was dependent on Lu Benyi, and there was no need to worry about his life when he was admitted to the palace. Later, when he met Qin Changyuan, Xiao Yi, and Xie Wenrui, he felt that he was still the little beggar back then. Hua, humble to the dust; now he has become a figure in the world, and finally has a high position, he has fulfilled his wish, and he is admired by others, but the inferiority complex in his bones has not dissipated.

He was afraid of losing it all.

He stuck to the rules and bound himself firmly in a box, thinking that if he didn't take any risks and didn't step out of the safe zone, he would always be the prime minister who was under one person and above ten thousand people.

After all, he was still jealous of Qin Changyuan.
