Chapter 356 Accompanying (Excessive Drama)

Early the next morning, Lu Yuan led troops from the 10th Division to the 5th Division of the Royal Knights into Tiandou City.

They were holding Royal Knights tokens, and even the gate guards of Tiandou City were very respectful.

After all, the Royal Knights are the elite among the elite in the Tiandou Empire. Even the Royal Guards have a lower status than these members of the Royal Knights, who are considered to be the best in the Tiandou army.

Lu Yuan led the team in front of these elite Royal Knights. He was dressed differently from the knights of the Royal Knights.

The knights of the Royal Knights wore light armor with layers of armor on their bodies like fish scales. They wore long knives on their waists and carried spears on their backs. At the same time, after entering the city, in order not to disturb ordinary residents, they dismounted and used them. The left hand is holding the tall Tianhun horse.

The knights of the Royal Knights, exuding a majestic and solemn aura, headed to the palace under the leadership of Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan, who was in front of these lightly armored knights, was wearing a smart moon-white luxurious robe. He was not wearing any armor or weapons. What attracted the most attention of passers-by was his sinister and handsome appearance.

Lu Yuan led the five commanders and five soldiers and horses, and did not seem to be in a hurry to rush to the Tiandou Palace. After all, it was still a long time before the real "duty" time.

Even if they arrived early and Qian Renxue hadn't come out to inspect the affairs of Tiandou City, they still had to wait patiently outside the palace.

They were walking down the street when suddenly they heard the sound of rapid horse hooves.

Lu Yuan frowned. Unless there was something urgent in Tiandou City, he shouldn't be able to gallop around the city.

But soon the dozen or so riders approaching were already occupying the aisle.

While running, dust is flying.

Pedestrians walking on the road hurriedly dispersed to avoid, and for a while, the originally wide street was filled with chaos.

At this time, more than ten riders on the opposite side were caught off guard and rushed towards the place where Lu Yuan was standing with more than 500 people.

The knight leading the opposite side obviously also saw Lu Yuan and others. There were more than 500 armored cavalry, and no one dared to provoke them.

So, the leading knight tried to rein in the horse's head in fear, but the Heavenly Soul Horse beneath him was caught off guard and flew to the side of the road!

On both sides of the road, there were residents of Tiandou City who had already ducked aside. They did not expect that in this situation, it would actually affect them!

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" The other knights also planned to dodge Lu Yuan and the more than 500 royal knights, so a dozen Tianhun horses rushed towards the Tiandou City residents on both sides of the road!

If a dozen horses rush into ordinary people, what will happen?

Especially this is a Heavenly Soul Horse with some soul beast bloodline. Its strength and speed are far superior to ordinary horses!

Under the impact of the Heavenly Soul Horse, these ordinary people would probably be seriously injured or even die on the spot!

Many ordinary residents screamed in shock, and even some timid ones couldn't help but cover their eyes at this time, not wanting to see the bloody scene that was about to happen.

At this moment, Lu Yuan snorted coldly, "Everyone, look up to me, look up to your savior!"

The Death Star Scythe appeared in his hand with his voice, and then the third soul ring on Lu Yuan lit up.

"The third soul skill, Evil Shadow Curse." Lu Yuan said calmly.

The next moment, countless shadow-like hands stretched out from the shadows under the hooves of the dozen Heavenly Soul Horses, firmly restraining their out-of-control tall bodies.

Then, the hand of shadow was retracted, and more than a dozen horses turned over directly under the inertia of the power. At the same time, more than a dozen knights on the horses were thrown out almost at the same time.

Pedestrians on both sides of the road have lingering fears

Seeing this scene at this time, the surrounding people were already exclaiming.

Most of the civilians watching the excitement showed joy in their eyes, but more people were filled with fear, because most of these knights were wearing the clothes of the Royal Guards.

The Royal Guards are the core warriors of the Tiandou Empire's royal family, and each one has been carefully selected.

Those at the level of squad leader and above are all composed of soul masters.

For the Tiandou Empire, which had only a small number of soul masters, this one was definitely the best among the best.

The Royal Guards are responsible for protecting the royal family and the palace. Unless the country is about to be exterminated, the Royal Guards generally do not appear on the battlefields of foreign wars.

But soon, the civilians watching the excitement saw Lu Yuan and others. From their clothes, they recognized that Lu Yuan and others were from the Royal Knights.

Instantly they all breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, the Royal Knights are actually more elite than the Royal Guards. After all, in addition to guarding Tiandou City and the Tiandou royal family, the Royal Knights are also responsible for intimidating the principalities and kingdoms to which the Tiandou Empire belongs.

Even rebellions within the empire are handled by the Royal Knights.

The Royal Knights are nominally on an equal footing with the Royal Guards, but perhaps because the Royal Guards are responsible for guarding the safety of the royal family on a daily basis, their status and power are higher.

This is actually similar to the Survey Corps and the Gendarmerie among the three major corps in a certain giant. Although they are all on equal footing in name, in fact the corps responsible for guarding the safety of the royal family will have greater power.

After all, it is the principle of the fifth-rank official in front of the prime minister.

At this time, all the royal guards were stunned. One of them suddenly got up from the ground and said, "Asshole, kill him."

As he spoke, a powerful wave of soul power erupted from the person who spoke, and he was possessed by a martial spirit.

This man is the only one among all the knights who is not wearing the armor of a guard. He looks to be in fine clothes and he looks about thirty years old.

Naturally, Lu Yuan knew this person. In the past, there were many enemies in Tiandou Royal Academy, and there were not many people in the entire Tiandou Royal Academy who could be enemies with Lu Yuan. The answer is self-evident...

It was Xue Beng, the fourth prince of the Tian Dou Empire.

A total of three soul rings, two yellow and one purple, appeared on Xue Beng. He was born in a royal family, so his soul rings were naturally the best match.

It's just that at the age of twenty-five, he still only has more than thirty levels of soul power. Even if he practices hard in the future, he will never be able to break through to the level of a titled Douluo throughout his life.

Lu Yuan hadn't seen this person for a long time. Xue Beng also graduated directly from Tiandou Royal Academy this year, but it seemed that Xue Beng's exaggeration after graduating from the academy had no intention of curbing at all.

He naturally knew why Xue Beng was still acting so exaggerated and playboy, but he didn't intend to coddle Xue Beng.

Lu Yuan stood in front of Xue Beng and sneered, "Xue Beng, you are still the same, you haven't made any progress at all!"

The royal guards quickly got up from the ground, surrounded Xue Beng in the center, and stared at Lu Yuan cautiously, with nervous expressions on their faces.

Lu Yuan is not an unknown person in Tiandou City. On the contrary, his name and deeds have reached the level that everyone in Tiandou City knows and knows about him during this period of time.

"Do it, you bunch of losers." Xue Beng shouted loudly. None of the royal guards with him were soul masters, so naturally they didn't dare to step forward and die.

In fact, he was just performing an arrogant and brainless gesture for Lu Yuan and Qian Renxue behind Lu Yuan to see. He didn't really want his men to die.

At this time, the royal knights behind Lu Yuan also recognized Xue Beng's identity as the prince.

"General... we..." One of Lu Yuan's commanders stood up and said with his hands raised.

"What are you worried about?" Lu Yuan turned around and shouted, "We are only loyal to His Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince. Even if he wants to blame, I will bear the responsibility!"

"Yes, General." The commander had no choice but to retreat.

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he continued to look at the surrounded Xue Beng, and said calmly, "I really don't know how His Highness could have a brother like you, who is lawless, arrogant, and galloping around Tiandou City. Almost caused casualties.”

Xue Beng shouted loudly, "I am my father's child, what can I do in Tiandou City?! What do a few civilians mean to me?!"

"It's you, Lu Yuan, I am the fourth prince of the empire, you should salute me!!!"

Lu Yuan smiled contemptuously, "You have been telling me this rhetoric for several years, and there is nothing new at all. I'm sorry, I said that you, Avalanche, are not worthy of me saluting you."

"You were not qualified before, you are even less qualified now, and it is even less likely that you will be qualified in the future!"

"Now, get out of here!"

Lu Yuan's terrifying aura exploded instantly, directly pressing against Xue Beng and the royal guards beside him.

The aura of killing that seemed to come from the doomsday made Xue Beng and the others somewhat out of breath.

"Your Highness..." The leading royal guard grabbed the avalanche who seemed to be stunned, and then quickly retreated to the right side of the road.

The other royal guards were also relieved and retreated to one side while guarding the avalanche.

Xue Beng had a look of horror on his face, as if he had been stunned, and allowed the royal guards to guard him and make way for Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan didn't even look at him, as if Xue Beng was not the fourth prince of the empire in his eyes, but an irrelevant piece of gravel.

He immediately led the Royal Knights and continued to march towards the palace. Soon, under his leadership, more than 500 Royal Knights were far away from the sight of Xue Beng and others.

"Your Highness." At this time, the royal guard looked at Xue Beng aside with relief.

"Your Highness, please forgive me for disobeying orders." At this time, they knelt down towards the avalanche again in fear.

At this moment, what surprised them was that Xue Beng didn't mean to blame them at all, and even the panic on his face just now seemed to have never existed.

"Get up, I don't blame you." He said calmly at this time.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Although they were very confused as to why Xue Beng looked so strange at the moment, they all stood up with relief after receiving the reply that Xue Beng did not blame them.

At this time, Xue Beng looked at the direction in which Lu Yuan was going and said softly, "Interesting...only loyal to His Majesty and His Royal Highness? His Majesty is in front, does that mean you will be more loyal to the Emperor?"

"Lu Yuan, you are very powerful, but you will be loyal to me in the future." His eyes showed a bit of pride and confidence.

"For the sake of my empire, continue to become stronger!"

…

Lu Yuan didn't know Xue Beng's thoughts.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't take it seriously, loyalty?

It's a joke, no one in this world deserves Lu Yuan's loyalty.

He wants to realize his own majestic ambitions, not become a stepping stone for others' majestic ambitions.

Soon, Lu Yuan led five hundred royal knights to the west school field outside Tiandou Palace, and five hundred royal knights stationed themselves outside the palace.

Lu Yuan and the five commanders came to wait outside the palace gate, and soon "Xue Qinghe" appeared outside the palace.

Today, Qian Renxue once again returned to her ordinary attire, wearing a simple Tsing Yi, which looked quite rough. There was not even the slightest gold or jade decoration on the Tsing Yi.

Even compared to Lu Yuan's rather low-key luxurious white robe, it was a bit plain. She obviously planned to travel in a low-key manner today.

"See you, Your Highness!" Lu Yuan led the five commanders and saluted Qian Renxue.

"No courtesy." Qian Renxue smiled slightly and waved her hand in a charming manner.

Lu Yuan and others then straightened up, and Qian Renxue also said to the palace guards behind her, "You should go back first. Today's trip will be taken care of by Tianyinghou."

"Yes, Your Highness." After the palace guards saluted, they returned to the palace.

"Tianyinghou, let's go." Qian Renxue came over at this time, smiled at Lu Yuan, and said.

Lu Yuan immediately nodded and followed Qian Renxue. At the same time, five commanders also followed behind him, forming a special-looking protection team.

The seven of them walked outside the palace together. Lu Yuan and others did not ask where Qian Renxue was going.

"Brother Lu Yuan." At this moment, Qian Renxue chuckled and started chatting with Lu Yuan.

"Your Highness is so kind to me, I'd better call him Tianyinghou or give me his full name." Lu Yuan quickly said with his hands in hand.

Qian Renxue smiled slightly, "Then I'd better call you by your full name. Lu Yuan, do you know where we are going next?"

"The duty of my subordinates is to protect His Highness. Your Highness's whereabouts are not matters that I can interfere with." Lu Yuan said calmly.

"But I still need to talk to you, right?" Qian Renxue pretended to smile helplessly, "I think there is no need to be so restrained between us, and we can just talk like normal friends."

"Lu Yuan, I want to ask you, in your opinion, what is the foundation of the empire?" She asked with a smile.

Lu Yuan pondered for a while, wondering why Qian Renxue asked him.

But he still chose to reply seriously, "I think that the foundation of the empire lies in its people. A country is people-oriented. Whether it is a soul master or an ordinary army, they are actually born from ordinary people."

"This is true even for so-called sects and aristocratic families. They were not born noble at the beginning. They only achieved their current status when powerful martial spirits appeared in a certain generation, and then accumulated power and fame over the generations."

"It can be seen that the basis of the rule of any country and force is actually ordinary people."

"So the foundation of the empire lies in the word 'people'."

Qian Renxue was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that Lu Yuan would say that the foundation of the empire was people. He didn't even say soul masters, but just people, ordinary people.

After all, in Douluo Continent, a world with fantasy power, the power of ordinary people is too weak.

Less than 5% of the soul masters in the entire continent can already control the remaining 95% of ordinary people. From this point of view, the life and death of ordinary people is not important at all.

Qian Renxue was a little surprised that Lu Yuan would say that ordinary people are important.

"What you said makes sense." She smiled and nodded calmly, "The country is based on people, and people are based on food and clothing. But, today, there are still many people in the empire who lack food and clothing... This makes Gu extremely sad.”

"Especially, I found out that there are a lot of insects in the empire!" Qian Renxue said in a cold voice, "It is precisely because of these insects that the empire's treasury is stretched thin!"

"It's not because my father wants to reward you greatly after winning the championship. You still can't find out that there are so many insects in this empire!" She now showed a look of resentment against the corrupt ministers of the empire.

This made the five commanders behind Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh, His Royal Highness is indeed a first-class wise king!

"Your Highness." At this moment, Lu Yuan shook his head and said, "The people of the empire are short of food and clothing, and the treasury is stretched thin. I think that in addition to the corruption problem, the main reason is that the empire's farming practices are not prosperous. "

"It should be noted that although cutting expenditures is important, it does not solve the problem. Only by increasing revenue can we support the operation of the empire's treasury."

"Under such circumstances, only by vigorously encouraging mulberry farming and establishing a culture of valuing mulberry farming can the empire continue to prosper."

Lu Yuan did not say this casually. Although Douluo Continent seems to be a peaceful and prosperous world, it is actually a world similar to the medieval era in the previous life without the blessing of technology.

Technology is not a derogatory term here, but a purely positive term.

Agriculture is very important, because starvation can really kill people, and in the era of small-scale peasant economy, the food and clothing of the people at the bottom depends entirely on God's will.

Only in the modern era with the blessing of science and technology, through the cultivation of high-yield crops and scientific and technological production, has this problem been basically solved.

"Nowadays, martial arts are in full swing in the empire, but I'll be honest." Lu Yuan paused, "Although martial arts can ensure the stability of the country, in times of peace and prosperity, martial arts must be suppressed and pragmatism promoted."

Qian Renxue didn't expect that Lu Yuan could give such a piece of practical advice. She immediately said with a smile, "Haha, Tianyinghou is indeed a young hero. Not only is his cultivation extraordinary, but he can also help with national affairs." My father and I share our worries."

"I don't dare." Lu Yuan clasped his fists and said.

"Lu Yuan!" At this moment, Qian Renxue put her hand on his shoulder.

Lu Yuan raised his head.

Qian Renxue smiled and said, "After I ascend the throne, I will definitely use you again!"

"When the time comes, you and I, the emperor and the minister, will work together to create a powerful empire!"

Lu Yuan quickly pretended to be grateful and said, "I will die for Your Highness!"

Qian Renxue was quite satisfied when she saw this. She actually wanted to continue using this to make Lu Yuan trust her more and become more committed to her for future plans.

Lu Yuan's eyes also flashed with a glint at this moment, and he didn't know that Qian Renxue was acting.

He was actually just cooperating with the acting.

At this moment, the two movie kings had another confrontation that was incomprehensible to outsiders. As Qian Renxue and Lu Yuan chatted, they walked a long way and finally stopped in front of a huge mansion.

I'm a little late from get off work, so I'll try to update the next one!
