Yue Xi always thought that the boy's name was Huo Qi, but she never thought that the two words the girl said were "Huo Qi"!
Afraid of being bloody and corroded, why didn¡¯t I think of it before? That¡¯s the characteristic of Qilin!
It¡¯s not that I haven¡¯t thought about it, it¡¯s that I don¡¯t dare to think about it. But what appeared majestically in the night sky at this time, like a holy beast burning in flames, was undoubtedly the real Qilin! The color is more brilliant than flames, and it is neither a horse nor a deer, but this is an image that is very familiar to everyone in the Twelve Kingdoms. Even if you have never seen the deity, the painting on the ancestral temple will be familiar to you.
Yue Xi has seen Qilin before, even Feng Qi of the previous generation died under his sword. Qilin is a benevolent beast, but the people cannot stand a Qilin that has elected two generations of incompetent kings in a row, so Yuexi has to kill it. But Fangji Country needs Qilin. No country among the twelve countries can live in peace and prosperity without Qilin.
For the past three years, Yuexi has been thinking day and night about the news about the Qilin belonging to Fang Country in Peng Mountain, but she has never been able to get her wish. I heard that a black unicorn, which has been rare for hundreds of years, appeared in Dai State, and what appears here at this moment is an even rarer fire unicorn!
More importantly, this is the fire unicorn that belongs to their Fang country!
Yue Xi was so shocked that he couldn't make a sound for a moment. He stared at the holy beast with his eyes, and even more at the girl sitting on the back of the fire unicorn. Everyone knows that there is only one possibility in the world that can make the proud Qilin willing to be a mount.
"The kingthat's the king!" Yue Xi, who was just mumbling to herself at first, quickly found her voice.
King, that is the king of a country recognized by heaven! The long silver hair glowed brightly in the moonlit sky. I don't know if it was the brilliance of the moon, or the brilliance of the girl herself. That was the monarch of their Fangji Kingdom, the new king they had been waiting for for three years, and she finally appeared!
"Quick, everyone listen to the order and follow me to protect the new king!"
Needless to say, Yuexi said that the soldiers who witnessed this scene all realized their mission.
But Qilin did not stay, but took advantage of the gap between the demons and flew into the distance at extremely fast pace.
"Wait a moment, King!"
Yue Xi¡¯s voice did not attract the attention of Xiao Feng and Huo Qilin, and the fiery red color quickly disappeared into the sky. The demon is no longer important, being able to welcome back the new king is the most important thing! Yue Xi rode the riding beast and flew through the sky. Regardless of the fact that the riding beast was already the fastest, she kept driving away. After chasing him like this for an entire hour, the general next to him dissuaded him.
"Huihou, we can't catch up. That's the Xuhai. Our pace on beasts is too slow"
The state division¡¯s mount is Zoyu, but Zoyu¡¯s pace is very slow? It is the fastest riding beast that humans can tame, but how can it compare with the Qilin with its feet on the auspicious clouds? Yue Xi, who also realized this, felt disappointed.
??Seeing the Qilin disappear into the Xuhai, but on the opposite side of the Xuhai
"It's Gongzhou Kingdom! Quick, let's go back to Pusu and send envoys to Gongzhou Kingdom!"
Gongzhou Kingdom, Shuangfeng Palace
Gongzhou State is located in the southwest of Fangji State, and the two countries face each other across the Xu Sea. King Zhu Jing is a queen who has governed the country for hundreds of years. She has worked conscientiously and unethically for hundreds of years. The hundred years of peace and tranquility have made the country peaceful and peaceful. Speaking of offering to the king, in the minds of ordinary people, she must be an imposing old woman, or a deep-seated woman.
But in fact, sitting high on the throne at this time is a young girl. She looks like she is only a teenager. Even during the court meeting, the expression on her face has nothing to do with seriousness and dignity. Instead, she has a With childish naughtiness. But no one in the court dared to underestimate this girl, because it was she who brought a hundred years of peace to Gongzhou.
"A hundred years of reign is simple. As long as the king's life span is as long as he does not lose his moral principles, he will be on par with heaven. Hundreds of years pass by in a blink of an eye, but there are very few saint kings who can truly live without losing their moral principles for a hundred years.
The world is at peace. In the past, there were not many important matters at the court meeting. Even so, Zhu Jing, who usually had a temper that gave Gong Qi a headache, never lost his temper at the court meeting and went up and down on time every day. In this regard, she is indeed a qualified queen.
At this moment, she was sitting on the throne, flanked by hundreds of civil and military officials.
"It has been more than thirty years since our country severed ties with your country."
Sitting on the throne, looking at the envoy kneeling at the foot of the royal steps to perform the courtesy of a foreign minister, the king's voice was calm so that outsiders could not tell his likes and dislikes. Although it was a girl's voice, but whether it was her own aura or the environment, it felt so solemn that people didn't dare to slack off at all.
The envoy only dared to reply with the word "yes" and said nothing.
Fangji State has cut off diplomacy since King Feng Zhongta came to the throne. In terms of geographical location, Gongzhou State is the closest neighbor to Fangji State. Although the private sector has commercial channels on the virtual sea,There has been no exchange of envoys among high-level officials for decades. Zhong Ta was a king who enforced extremely strict laws. In his opinion, the laws of other countries were too lax, and the people of other countries were naturally extremely evil and unruly people. Contact with other countries would make his own country tainted. Therefore, Zhong Ta had been in power for thirty years. During these thirty years, he had closed the country and eliminated all external contacts.
"We are all close neighbors, there is no need to be restrained."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was warned by the Marquis of Huizhou before I left. Your Majesty is a wise king who obeys the destiny. Naturally, I don't dare to be rude."
Zhu Jing on the throne let out a chuckle.
"That's it, when the former King Feng was ruling the country, some people in your country took risks because they were afraid of escaping punishment. They took small boats and carried wooden planks to drift across the Xu Sea and came to Gongguo. To be honest, I feel sorry for these refugees. I have a headache, can the people finally breathe a sigh of relief now?"
"What does your Majesty mean?" The envoy answered cautiously because he did not understand the girl's intention.
"A country cannot live without a king for a day. Please convey these words to Huihou. I advise him to ascend the throne. Before a new king appears, it is better to ascend the throne and work hard to benefit the people. This is better. "
This sudden statement caused the court to panic. What the king said on such an occasion represented the position of Gongzhou State. After all, the royal power of neighboring countries was an extremely sensitive topic. Such a discussion was too abrupt.
The first person who expressed his dissatisfaction was Gong Qi, who was standing beside the throne.
"Your Majesty! After all, the Marquis of Huizhou of Fangji Country committed regicide. Although it was for the sake of the people of Fang Country, is it too inappropriate to persuade him to seize the throne?"
Qilin is a benevolent beast and the embodiment of kindness in the royal way, so it assists the king beside the throne. But kindness sometimes means pedantry. Zhu Jing gave her leader a hard look.
Zhu Jing certainly knew that her words were inappropriate, but she also knew a secret that must not be known to anyone in Fangji Country.
From the officials to the common people in Fang Kingdom, they are all waiting for the Qilin of their own country to appear and choose a new king. In the past, after a country's unicorn died in an accident, a new unicorn would be born on Pengshan Mountain to make up for it. The people of Fangji country took it for granted that since three years had passed, their country's unicorn must have been born, and they did not go to Fangji. The reason for the country is growing up on Pengshan Mountain.
But who would have thought that perhaps because the unicorns of the previous generation of Fang Country were not outlawed, but were killed by their own people, there are no new unicorns appearing on Pengshan Mountain today. The waiting of everyone in Fangji Country is destined to be in vain!
This secret was told to him by Gong Qi, who was also Peng Shangong. Zhu Jing knew very well that if the people of Fang State knew the truth, Fangji State would definitely be in chaos, and many homeless refugees would flow into Gongzhou State, causing trouble. This was also the reason why she advocated letting Huihou succeed to the throne. Since it was impossible for a new king to emerge, it would be better to let Huizhou Hou manage the country.
Zhu Jing was angry because Gong Qi knew this and still came to cause trouble. Qilin is a benevolent beast and they will never lie, but sometimes some means are necessary for the long-term stability of the country.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the envoy from Fangji Kingdom spoke, and what he said surprised Zhu Jing.
"Concerning this, thank you for your majesty's concern. This is why I came to see your majesty. The Emperor of Heaven is kind. Qilin has appeared in our Fangji Kingdom and a new king has been chosen."
"You said Fangji Country has a Qilin?"
Zhu Jing looked at his leader in surprise. Could it be that that fool gave him false news?
Gong Qi shook his head, Fang Ji would never lie on such a big matter, but as Peng Shanggong, he certainly knew that there had indeed been no new Qilin on Peng Shan in recent years.
"Then congratulations to your country." Zhu Jing, who didn't know why, could only respond like this.
"This," I don't know if this is worthy of congratulations, the expression on the envoy's face is a bit strange, "Actually, Feng Qi and our new king"
Listening to the envoy¡¯s narration, Zhu Jing¡¯s expression suddenly changed, becoming more and more strange. A new king appeared in Fangji Kingdom, but the new king disappeared riding a unicorn and crossed the Xuhai Sea to nowhere. Opposite Fangji Kingdom's Xuhai is Gongzhou Kingdom, and she finally understood the other party's true intention. But this is too strange. How could the new king chosen by Qilin leave the country before he ascends the throne?
"I understand. I will ask people to pay attention to the situation in the country. If I find the new king of your country, I will inform you as soon as possible."
"In this case, I would like to express my gratitude to Your Majesty on behalf of Fangjiguo."
However, Xiaofeng and Huo Qilin, who were worried at this time, were not in Gongzhou Kingdom.
With low-pressure clouds, the temperature above the clouds will be very low, so speeding is not a pleasant experience. But the fire unicorn did not dare to lower its height. Ever since it entered the virtual sea, demons swarmed in.??
The ones as big as giant elephants and as small as small bees. No matter how fast the fire unicorn is, it can't completely throw it away. There are no less than hundreds of demons who have died under the sword of Zhengzong, but looking at the dense group of demons, Xiao Feng I can't help but feel like my head is as big as a bucket.
"Master, don't use this knife."
"But" Although Huo Qilin has said before that the long sword Zhengzong is a magic sword, but in the face of such a large number of demons, under this situation, there is no weapon more convenient than Zhengzong, because its length lengthens the attack The range can be cleared with one slash.
"Demons are born from the way of heaven, and their number is endless. Only the royal way of heaven can suppress them. Compared with the long sword, you have a more suitable weapon."
Suppress with royal methods? Xiaofeng thought for a while and understood what Huo Qilin was referring to.
Taking it out from the storage space, what replaced the long sword Masamune was a simple sword, neither gold nor stone. The sword body was only one meter long, which was pitifully short compared with the long sword Masamune. What's even more outrageous is that this sword has no blade and looks more like a handicraft toy.
However, the moment the sword appeared, there was a commotion among the surrounding demons. They were originally fearless and fled in all directions, but none of them dared to approach.
The sacred weapon of the country, the sword is named Xuanyuan. Even before the divine sword was released, the threat was already there.
