In the afternoon, the sun shone through the lush branches and leaves on the blue-tiled path. A man walked from the end of the forest. He was a young guard with silver armor, a strong figure, and bronze skin.Holding a bronze sword in one hand and his helmet in the other, he walked briskly towards the Mirror Lake Garden.

The guard outside the gate was slightly taken aback when he saw him, "Yu Hao, why are you here? You're not on duty today."

"Ah, I'm here to look for the Fifth Prince." Yu Hao patted the feared brother on the shoulder, "I'll go first."

In the Jinghu Garden, Xuanzheng was sitting by the pond, with his knees crossed, his hands on his knees, his eyes closed tightly, and his long ink-like hair hanging on the ground.The wind blowing across the pond brought a burst of fragrance, and he breathed deeply, enjoying the quiet afternoon.

For patients with heart disease, the most important thing is not medicine, but meditation and maintaining a peaceful state of mind.It has been half a month since I came here, and my body has almost recovered. Xuan found that this body has good physical aptitude, and it is an excellent material for martial arts, but it is a pity...

"Your Highness, Brother Yu is here." Qinglian's voice came from beside his ear, Xuan slowly opened his eyes, and saw that simple and honest young man.

"Your Highness Fifth, you look better today." While speaking, Yu Hao had already come in front of Xuan, "I brought you what you asked for."

A bronze sword was handed to Xuan, it was not a precious blade, but it was still sharp.

Xuan reached out to grab the hilt of the sword, his white hand was in stark contrast to Yu Hao's hand with clear bones.

"Your Highness, what do you want the sword for?"

"Yes, Your Highness, what's the use of this?" Neither Qinglian nor Yu Hao understood Xuan's intention.

"Of course I want this for sword practice." Xuan's thin lips curled slightly, and he flicked the bronze sword with his fingers, making a buzzing sound from the blade.

"Ah, Your Highness, do you know how to use a sword?" Qinglian's eyes widened in surprise, "My servant remembers that you have never practiced martial arts."

"Perhaps my highness is self-taught." Xuan smiled, "how about it, why don't you go to the backyard to see my highness's swordsmanship."

Everyone knows that the fifth prince entered the palace at the age of two, and was banned by the emperor in Jinghu Garden before the age of 15. The emperor sent someone to Jinghu Garden to be responsible for the teaching of the fifth prince, but only in terms of literature.

Qinglian was assigned to Jinghu Garden when the fifth prince, An Yi, was 15 years old, which was the year the emperor lifted the ban on the fifth prince.That was the first time other people in the palace saw the fifth prince in Jinghu Garden, at the banquet in the palace on New Year's Eve.I thought that that time, the fifth prince who was left out in the cold would have a chance to win the emperor's paternal love, but the result was disappointing.The emperor's attitude is still indifferent, and the days have not changed much as usual, but there is an extra guest in Jinghu Garden, Prince An Qi.

In the past three years, Qinglian has never left An Yi for a single step. She knows everything about An Yi like the back of her hand, and she has never seen the fifth prince practice any martial arts. Now that the fifth prince suddenly said that he wanted to practice swords, Qing Lian was naturally baffled.

"Your Highness, wait for me, I'll go." The carefree Yu Hao next to him didn't have Qinglian's thoughts. Driven by curiosity, he followed Xuan in front of him in a few steps, and the two went to the backyard together.

There is a backyard in Jinghu Court, which is not big, and it was cleaned very clean by Qinglian. There are only two willow trees planted in the corner, which looks a bit cold, but it is precisely because of this that there is enough space for Xuan to perform.

In the past half a month, Xuan has not been idle, he has used the condensate to adjust the breath of this body.Kong Ningjue is the unique qi-training method of the Lingzong, one of the two holy sects in the cultivation world. The comfortable body is not suitable for direct martial arts. If you use the method of qi training in the comprehension world, it may be possible to make up for the innate deficiency of this body in time. .

With a wave of the white sleeve, the bronze sword in his hand turned into a flood dragon, his ink hair flew up, and every move exuded atmosphere. Although the swordsman obviously lacked strength, it still did not affect the exquisiteness of this sword technique at all.

Yu Hao on the side was stunned for a long time, his eyes were full of excitement. He had never seen such a move before. It was obviously a fatal move, but it made people feel extremely elegant.Especially the sword dancer, as if blending into the color of the sky and the earth, with an ethereal feeling, such a beautiful scenery, Yu Hao's heart couldn't help but tremble.

Qinglian, who came a step late, was even more enthralled.When she was assigned to Jinghu Garden, the sisters who entered the palace all looked at her sympathetically, as if it was such a tragic thing.But when she saw the neglected Fifth Prince, Qinglian felt that she was the luckiest.What kind of person is that, Qinglian doesn't know how to describe it, a feeling of being spotless, as if being affected by something in her heart.No matter what other people think, Qinglian always feels in her heart that a person like the fifth prince should not have such a fate, to be abandoned in Jinghu Garden and spend his whole life alone.

From the first time she saw An Yi, Qing Lian felt that there were many mysteries about the fifth prince, and seeing this scene again made her feel even more confused.But one thing is certain, in her current mood, there is a kind of pride spontaneously, this is her master.

After dancing a set of sword skills, Xuan's forehead was already sweating slightly. He didn't actually use much force, but his body was still a little tired.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..." A tall shadow rushed over, Yu Hao had long forgotten the distinction between master and servant, and excitedly held Xuan's hand, "What kind of sword technique was that just now, which sect, it's really too powerful gone."

"Brother Yu, let go of Your Highness, this is too disrespectful." Qinglian ran up and pulled Yu Hao away, fearing that he would hurt her master.

"I'm sorry, I was reckless." Yu Hao also found out that his behavior was inappropriate, "Please forgive me, Fifth Highness."

"It's okay." Xuan saw the tall man who hesitated to speak, and knew that he couldn't let go of the sword technique just now. "Do you want to learn the sword technique just now? I can teach you."

"Your Highness is saying..." Yu Hao had a look of disbelief.

Xuan nodded slightly.

"Really, is it really okay?" An ecstatic expression appeared on that energetic face, like a child's joy.

"I'm a little tired today, let's start tomorrow." Xuan handed the sword to Qinglian, "But don't let other people know about this, do you understand what I mean?"

Yu Hao was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "This subordinate understands."

Xuan didn't know what he thought of, but it was definitely different from his own thinking.No matter what, as long as Yu Hao doesn't tell anyone else.

"By the way, is there any news from the west recently, how is the war going?" Seemingly chatting casually, Xuan wanted to inquire about some news from the outside world.

"I heard that the negotiation was not going well. The prince sent an urgent letter to the other party's harsh demands, waiting for the emperor to make a decision."

"What kind of request?"

"I don't know about that." Yu Hao shrugged his shoulders, "It's just that after hearing that the emperor saw it, he was furious and threw all the folders."

"That's right." Xuan didn't care about this, what he cared about was when that person would come back.

I still remember the scene that happened when I came here on the first day, that was the problem he had to solve first.

Imperial study room

Emperor Jing held the peace agreement sent by the frontier in his hand.It had been two days since the item was delivered, but he still couldn't make a choice.Because there is one of the other party's conditions: Anguo needs to select a prince to marry Princess Tianmu from the Yao Kingdom, and live in the Yao Kingdom forever.

On the surface it is a marriage, but in fact it is a seizure.The chosen prince is the proton, the hostage who was detained in the demon kingdom.

If they don't agree, Yao Nation will soon break through the Lingshan Mountain, and I'm afraid no one will be able to stop them by then.Now the only option is to temporarily hold back the demon country so that they can regroup and make another good strategy.However, if you agree, who should you send it to?This is a narrow escape path, as long as the two countries go to war, the lives of those who are sent may be lost.

The ink pen that he had held for a long time finally landed on the agreement book, a big word, the situation did not allow him to have a second choice.

"Hurry up and send to Lingshan." Handing the agreement book to the servant next to him, Emperor Jing leaned back in his chair and sighed heavily.

"Your Majesty, you are tired, why don't you take a rest." Zhao Jin, the head of the imperial court, asked in a low voice.

"Zhao Jin, marrying the demon country, which prince do you think I should send?" Emperor Jing didn't open his eyes, but asked.

"How can a slave know this?" Zhao Jin replied carefully

"What do you think the ministers of the DPRK and China will say about the same problem?"

"Forgive me for speaking bluntly, I will probably recommend the Fifth Highness. The Crown Prince will not say anything, the Second Highness is brave and good at fighting, the Third Highness is outstanding in culture, and the Fourth Highness has won many military exploits in guarding the northern border. Only the Fifth Highness..."

"You're right." Emperor Jing slowly opened his eyes, "Yi'er is the one most likely to be sacrificed."

"Your Majesty..." Zhao Jin wanted to say something, but he didn't say it after all.

"Yi'er is indeed the best candidate. He is the one who is most likely to survive in the demon country. However, if he really goes to the demon country, he may never come back."

"Your Majesty might as well think about it from another angle. If the Fifth Highness goes to the Demon Kingdom, maybe he can get news about your empress."

"Let me think about it again." Emperor Jing frowned slightly, did he really want Yi'er to know the truth?
