    Behind him, Feng Xin and Mu Yi were both startled, saying, “Your Highness!” Immediately grabbed out, protecting his side.

    However, the people on the entire Shenwu Street had already seen the white-clothed young man who appeared in the center of the street directly in front of them. The tour | line was confused for a while and reorganized. Thousands of people layered around Xie Ren, and the first person didn’t dare to say with certainty, “Are you …… you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?”

    The second person hesitated, “Didn’t they say that His Highness the Crown Prince had ascended and was no longer a mortal long ago, how could he appear here?”

    The third person said loudly, “It’s him! Three years ago, during the Shangyuan Heavenly Sacrifice Tour, I saw it with my own eyes, it was His Highness the Crown Prince!”

    As more and more people recognized the Martial God they worshiped day and night, Xie Ren slowly said, “It’s me. I’ve returned.”

    So, people went crazy.

    “The God of Heaven descends! This is the descent of a living God of Heaven!”

    “The celestials have descended!”

    “His Highness must have come down because he couldn’t bear to see us humiliated by the thieves again!”

    Immediately, someone pursued with hope, ”Your Highness the Crown Prince, will you lead us to defeat the Yongans? It must be so, right? It must be so!”

    After a moment’s pause, Xie Ren calmly said, “I came back to protect Xian Le Kingdom and my people.”

    Feng Xin and Mu Yi beside him heard this sentence in their ears, neither of them dare to determine exactly what it means, however, the hot-blooded nationals wishfully understood the meaning of this sentence. And Xie Ren had his own thoughts, his heart beating more and more vigorously, a clenched teeth, said, “…… believe me!”

    He clenched his fists and said, “Your faith will give me greater power. With this power, I will swear to protect Xianle and the living world. Please believe in me!”

    The people waited for this moment, wanting such an assurance from him, and immediately cheered enthusiastically, bowing down in a circle towards His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the center, saying, “Swear to follow you to the death! Follow Your Highness!”

    “Defend Senryu!”

    The people of the Imperial City heard the “God of Heaven”, all from the streets and alleys, just to see this thousand years of miracle, and even heard of the Imperial City guards do not dare to be reckless, to join the ranks of worship. Three people were sandwiched in the center of the street and could not move an inch, Feng Xin and Mu Yi had to struggle to maintain order, drinking: “Don’t squeeze, don’t squeeze!”

    However, it didn’t do much good, and anyone who wanted to squeeze in closest to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and touch the corner of the coat of this godly man from the heavens with their hands was as if they were giving light to the whole person. In the end, the Lord of the Kingdom in the palace was alarmed, and several generals were sent out with heavily armed soldiers, which drove away the frenzied crowd.

    After everyone dispersed, on the ground that was left full of messy footprints and flying dust, Xie Ren saw something that he approached and bent down to pick up.

    It was a flower. It had been trampled by many people, almost crushed into the color of dirt. There were only a few remaining petals, glimpses of its original white color.

    The faint fragrance, which was not as fresh as it had been, dissipated in a short time.

    After figuring out some things, this time when Xie Ren returned to the palace again, his attitude towards the State Lord softened a lot. As a result, the State Master’s color towards him also softened a lot, and father and son each took a step back, considered to have reached peace for the time being. And the State Master seemed to have anticipated that Xie Ren would come down and said nothing.

    Xie Ren once thought, a country is one heart, the big thing at present, all people listen to the master of the country, this is a matter of course. However, when he really sat down to participate, he realized how much trouble the lord of the country was in. A courtier, actually will be divided into many small factions, each faction has its own intentions, for a major event in the end how to decide, can be argued endlessly for seven days. Each person of each faction claims that they are for the country and for the people, but in fact the heart is not necessarily so.

    For the Yongan people stationed outside the city, officially intending to divide and conquer, their opinions are slow to unify. Some people advocate to send troops directly to eliminate, by not enough to make up a few more charges, some people are not.

    Yongan chaos, started from natural disasters, outbreak in man-made disasters, that fell dead in front of the imperial city of a family of three, really a more bad lead, if not that cut the rope of the general has been Lang Ying bare hands pinch off the neck, he came back to also be heavily punished. To put it bluntly, even if the inside is more complicated, there are more reasons, on the surface of this matter looks, is the official forced the people to rebel. The matter has come to this point, made a lot of noise, forced to deduct the charge, will only more stimulate resentment, make up any reason can not hide from the people. If you send the army to exterminate, it is clear that the Lord of the lawlessness, it is difficult to call the benevolent and righteous division. Preventing the people’s mouth is more important than preventing the river, once the reputation of brutality is left behind, not only can’t convince the people, but also fear that other nearby countries will take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble in the name of justice for heaven. On the other hand, what is there to be afraid of in this group of Yongan people? They are harboring in the mountains and forests, without food and weapons, how long can they make trouble?

    Therefore, ultimately prevailed, is the latter proposition: if the Yongan people dare to come to the offense, come once to kill once; do not come to the offense, let them self-sustaining, simply do not have to Xianle spend a soldier, fighting their own will be consumed.

    As a Martial God, Xie Ren descended to earth and naturally had to play a role on the battlefield. Thus, the army could not help but vigorously advocate that the side with His Royal Highness on it was the side of justice, and the army with His Royal Highness on it was the Legion of God!

    In a moment, a large number of young men from all over the country enthusiastically enlisted in the army, and within just a few months, the number of troops in Xianle country doubled and skyrocketed. With so much commotion, Yongan’s side seemed to have gotten the news as well. Originally, their activities were quite frequent, a small handful of small handfuls, but suddenly muted, as if there is some fear, is secretly storing power, causing Xianle side of the generals are also very nervous, sparing no effort to describe to Xie Ren “every time that always rushed to the forefront of the Lang Ying,” how scary. Hearing this name and remembering the corpse of the child that day, Xie Ren will always feel slightly complicated.

    Two months later, the Wingnuts, who had settled down for a while, finally attacked again.

    In this one, Xie Ren only brought a light sword to the battle, not even wearing armor. In less than half an hour, the battle was over.

    Amidst the overwhelming aura of blood and gore, the remaining Yongan warriors threw away their armor and ran wildly to evacuate. The soldiers of the Immortal Bliss Kingdom hadn’t even reacted yet, when they saw that the four directions were already filled with fallen figures, and not a single enemy was still standing. As for their Crown Prince, he slowly sheathed his sword, not even the corner of his coat got dirty.

    Only after a long time did they confirm their side’s overwhelming victory and jumped up, raising their swords to the sky and shouting to their hearts’ content.

    That night, the Xianle generals had a celebratory feast on the citadel.

    The soldiers hadn’t raised their eyebrows so much in a long time, cheering and raising their glasses in praise of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Xie Ren, however, pushed away all the wine and went alone to the corner of the city tower to sober up with the night breeze.

    He clearly hadn’t had a single glass of wine, yet he could feel his face burning hot and flushed, and his fingertips were still shaking slightly.

    This was the first time in Xie Ren’s life that he had killed someone. For the first time, he had killed thousands of people.

    Gryphon.

    In the back of his mind, those two words appeared over and over again. Mortals were untouchable before his power, no one could even withstand his gentle grip. Taking another’s life was so easy, just like the palace man stomping on the group of ants, causing him to simply lose his sense of awe between sword swings.

    Xie Ren leaned against the female wall, took a few deep breaths, shook his head to shake off the murmurs, and gazed out at the dots of firelight in the distant mountain pass. Soon, two footsteps approached.

    Without turning around, he knew who the visitor was. Xie Ren said, “Aren’t you guys going to have some wine to celebrate?”

    Muoi hummed, “What’s there to drink, it’s not like the situation is good.”

    At those words, Xie Ren turned around and said, “Do you guys see it too?”

    was really not very optimistic. While this one was a win, the fact was that this attack was, in fact, stronger than any of the Wingers’ previous attacks.

    Not only were there more people, but their formations, weapons, and scheduling all took a qualitative leap forward. Many of them were even equipped with armor. Although simple and shabby, they were already the size of a regular army. It was hard to imagine that this was actually a group of grassroots mud leggers.

    Mu Qi clasped her arms and frowned, ”Extreme hardships will indeed cause people to grow by leaps and bounds. But no matter how hard and difficult it is, supplies won’t be born out of thin air. Something is not right.”

    Windsong, on the other hand, put it more directly, saying succinctly, “They must have outside help.”

    Xie Ren nodded. Mu Yi said, “I don’t believe that none of these generals can see it either. But they still celebrated as usual, it’s only because there’s you on this side, and they feel that there’s no doubt that they’ll win.”

    This is something that Xie Ren didn’t think was a big deal, saying, “I won the first battle I came to, so it’s good for them to be happy, just as a morale booster.”

    Feng Xin hesitated for a moment, but still said, “Your Highness, you don’t look too good. Are you, by any chance, still on the Yongan side of the rainfall?”

    Xie Ren said, “Uh-huh.”

    With a face of not-surprising disapproval, Mu Qi said, “With all due respect, it’s useless to send down rain now, that’s what makes it a bottomless pit. Your Highness, even if the drought in Yongan can really be completely alleviated, I’m afraid that this group of people outside the city won’t retreat.”

    Xie Ren said, “I know. But I didn’t go to send down rain in order to make this group of people retreat, but only to keep those who still remain in Yongan from dying of thirst. And that’s what I was meant to do, and it won’t change because of anything.”

    Still not quite at ease, Feng Xin said, “Can you hold up?”

    Xie Ren patted his shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, I’ve got eight thousand Palace Guan, and there are enough believers, so of course there’s no problem. However.”

    He wrapped his other hand around Muoi’s shoulder and sighed, “I’m glad I had you two to help me today, thanks for staying with me.”

    On the battlefield today, these two retainers of his were much more bitter than he was, killing people covered in blood. Feng Xin said, “There is no need to say this again.” Mu Qi gave a vague “uh-huh”.

    With a slight force on her hand, Xie Ren drew the relationship between the three closer, and said from the bottom of her heart, “Not only today, but all along, thanks to you two. I hope that the three of us fighting side by side will be immortalized for a hundred years.”

    “……”

    “……”

    In a few moments, Feng Xin laughed out loud. Mu love, on the other hand, incredulously said, “I found that you always can put some very …… words straight, this is really ……” He shook his head and said. “Just.”

    The corners of Xie Ren’s mouth easily rose slightly. It didn’t smile for long before she suddenly looked aghast and said, “Who?!”

    “With a clang, Xie Ren sheathed his long sword. With a flick of his hand, he picked out a dark shadow from the corner by the female wall.

    That person hides in this corner for a long time, holding his breath, actually has not been detected. Xie Ren originally just wanted to use the tip of the sword to hang him up to scare a scare, who knows that he today in the battlefield to kill kill hard, his arm has been slightly trembling, out of some loss of weight, this pick did not pick steady, too much force, directly lift the person out of the wall.

    Under the moonlight, in mid-air, all three of them could see that the man was dressed in the clothes of a soldier of their own side, and had the figure of a fifteen or sixteen year old boy. After an instant, he fell and disappeared without a trace. Seeing that one person was about to fall under the city tower, Xie Ren felt bad and leapt out.

    He hooked his toes on the edge of the female wall, his body hung upside down, and he swiftly reached out and pulled the other party’s arm. The teenage soldier’s entire body was suspended in mid-air, swaying back and forth for a few moments, looking up. This look, through the faint moonlight, Xie Ren saw his face, and couldn’t help but open his eyes slightly.
