Chapter Seven, The Sword and the Jade Bi of the Feudal Lords.
Brothers go their own way, wounds hurt, disappearances remain missing. In the vast land of Xigu, only he and Wu Tong are left to guard, and he is in a dormant period, feeling powerless to do anything.
If it weren't for the second brother's serious injury, Baldy Long really wanted to slap him hard to wake him up from his possessed state.
The next day, as the rooster crowed and the sun rose, the peaceful and harmonious city of Xidu welcomed friends who had traveled day and night from afar.
Oh!
The Sword of the Feudal Lords is made of bronze and is very exquisite and sophisticated. The hilt is surrounded by twin phoenixes, and the blade is densely covered with regular black diamond-shaped patterns. The blade is slender and engraved with eight Xia characters - King Xi Yao Yun. The sword was bestowed by the Emperor!
The bald-headed dragon is very angry. He really doesn't know where his second brother gets his confidence from. Could it be that the crown prince really has some special qualities that he hasn't noticed?
Unfortunately, Yao Yun is the legitimate son and the successor of the Xiguo, carrying the dreams and future of King Xi and their brothers.
The phoenix let out a clear cry and flew away, while the bald-headed dragon's gaze gradually moved away, and then placed it on Yao Yun's body.
The national title of Xiguó remains unchanged, but as for the fiefdom, it has changed. The vast and barren territory that was once there has been completely wiped out with a stroke of a pen. However, fortunately, the surrounding areas of Xidu have been preserved.
The bald dragon still did not get the answer, and the second brother asked him to wait and see, and observe silently for a while before speaking.
If Xidu has no hope left, Xiwang's dream is declared shattered.
That is a very beautiful bird. Compared to many ferocious beasts, its body size is not large. Its wingspan is only half a foot when spread out. Its feathers are colorful and magnificent, and its whole body exudes a noble and lazy aura. At first glance, it is clear that it is not an ordinary bird.
The sword and jade token bestowed by the emperor to the vassals not only symbolize authority, but also serve as a guarantee of security. With the tokens bestowed by the emperor, even powerful beasts, monsters, and spirits must tread carefully.
On the spacious square inside the royal palace, the bustling capital bid farewell to the hurried imperial envoys. Of course, this group of people does not include the bald-headed dragon.
In fact, objectively speaking, in his eyes, the crown prince Yao Yun is not considered incompetent. Compared to some spoiled children of certain prominent families in the imperial capital, Yao Yun is gentle, kind, intelligent, and eager to learn. The only shortcoming is that he is not very mature and lacks experience. He also lacks the courage to fight desperately in the face of adversity.
This is the cruel reality.
Therefore, he just silently observes from the shadows, using his cold and piercing gaze to scrutinize the changes in the world around him.
Although part of the reason for their previous generation's loss of a large number of elite troops is due to this, if the Crown Prince Yao Yun becomes a cultivator, the title bestowed by the Emperor will not be "Xiyun Nan", at the very least it will be "Xiyun Zi"; if Yao Yun is a cultivation genius, perhaps he will even become "Xiyun Bo".
However, the most fatal problem is that King Xi has only one heir, and Yao Yun is the only successor of the Kingdom of Xi.
I thought the imperial edict of the Emperor of the Central Plains would arrive a few days later, but I didn't expect it to come so timely.
His noble title and rank have been demoted, from the Marquis Xuanxiang bestowed by his father King Yao Xuan, to his current title of Xiyun Nan.
If Yao Yun were not the legitimate son, Bald Dragon believes that he would still like Yao Yun very much. Being rebellious by nature, he would also be very protective and always defend Yao Yun.
In the blink of an eye, the grand ambition turned into a bubble, and the once passionate blood has cooled halfway!
A sword of the feudal lords and a jade talisman.
Originally, I wanted to confide in my younger brother, complain, but he seemed to be possessed, wearing an incredible loving smile throughout the entire time.
Second brother let him wait and see. He then waited and saw. Today happens to be the day when the barbarian tribes secretly join forces to attack Xidu. He wants to see how the crown prince will respond.
The bald dinosaur really wants to know what exactly happened. Could he have missed something?
Due to the arrival of this bird, Yao Yun was awakened early and, under the service of her maidservant, dressed in a very magnificent and spacious robe that was considered fashionable in this era. She put on her crown and went to greet this extraordinary and noble bird.
Public officials, marquises, counts, viscounts, and barons hold different levels of titles and possess Huan Gui, Xin Gui, Gong Gui, Gu Bi, Pu Bi. The title of Baron naturally corresponds to the possession of Pu Bi.
What a poignant fact!
Otherwise, the outcome will be very bleak.
Upon closer examination, it is evident that Yao Yun is not actually being overly critical. Even the former King Xi had a period of bewildering and youthful years.
At the same time, the second elder also returned the Sword of the Princes and the Seal of Trust, which belonged to the former King Xi Yao Xuan, to the Phoenix envoy, and asked him to take them back to the imperial capital, Xia Du.
The bald-headed dragon sneered at this, but he did not pursue it further.
Upon receiving the imperial edict in Xidu, Yao Yun let out a bitter smile.
He then guards the crown prince as he grows up, until he has a certain level of self-protection ability.
In addition, the beautiful and noble phoenix also brought two tokens for Yao Yun.
Due to insufficient strength, the title fell from the prestigious Marquis directly to the lowly Baron.
Another one is Pubi.
Then he asked his second younger brother, but the latter shook his head and remained silent.
Last night, Tuto Long had a heart-to-heart talk with his younger brother, pouring out all his thoughts and feelings.
Of course, these shortcomings are not really a big deal. As the crown prince grows older, he will gradually mature and become more mature. Immaturity will turn into maturity, and encountering difficulties will also stimulate potential. At that time, becoming a practitioner will be a natural thing.
The autumn wind swept through Xidu. The bald-headed dragon, with bronze bell-like eyes, no longer possessed its former majesty, appearing lost and decadent.
Ordinary excellence is considered mediocre and incompetent in the eyes of the bald-headed dragon and longan fruit. As the inheritor of a great cause, he cannot afford to be mediocre. Even an ordinary genius is not enough, he must be the genius among geniuses.
This bird is not an ordinary creature. It is an envoy of the various Xia emperors, a noble phoenix. Carrying the imperial edict day and night, it traveled from the distant Xia capital to the remote and barbaric Xi capital.
He will wander the ends of the earth!
If ... ....
Because of the preventive measures taken by the second elder witch, Yao Yun accepted the reward calmly. It can be considered as hereditary succession, inheriting the rightful fiefdom. As for those unconquered wastelands, he hasn't considered them for the time being. Anyway, if he didn't catch them, he would just let them go.
And now, the swords and tokens of the vassals have all been downgraded by three levels, which will naturally lead to significant changes.
As a result, his expectations for Yao Yun soared infinitely.
Everything is indeed as Elder Wu Tong said.
He is very tired, really!
Unfortunately, the current crown prince did not become a practitioner, and his future is very uncertain. Therefore, the Ximan Kingdom has already shown him great favor, and any higher reward would only harm him!
The bald dragon is a genuine dragon, even though it has not yet grown to its peak, it is still a noble dragon. The phoenix sent by the emperor is not a purebred phoenix, but it cannot withstand his warm welcome.
The current situation in front of us just proves this point.
He can feel that the fortune of Xiguo has changed. There is no longer the power to suppress, and the future days of Xiguo are likely to be restless.
The symbol of civilization in this era is the attire, headwear, and sword. As the name suggests, it refers to wearing clothes, hats, and carrying swords. Ordinary swords are only for commoners, while the swords bestowed by the emperor today represent the authority and dignity of the nobles!
Respectfully send the envoy!
