"I'm sorry, I probably won't be able to go!"

Listening to Xuan Tiangao's invitation, Lu Xun's face was a little gloomy, and after a while, he shook his head slightly and said, "Seven days later happens to be Ling'er's ninth birthday, and I want to hold a birthday banquet for her in this Crescent Moon Restaurant!" ”

What Lu Xun said was true, but in the ears of others, there was an inexplicable meaning, because even the two of Xuantian knew who Lu Ling'er was.

That's just an eight or nine-year-old girl, is the ninth birthday that important?

However, people like Gao Yuan Shengxuan Thirteen and others knew another fact, that is, Lu Ling'er was suffering from blood exhaustion, and this was probably the last birthday that the little girl could live.

"Okay, let's do it first!"

Xuan Tiangao felt that the other party was casually making an excuse and was unwilling to attend his wedding ceremony to marry the imperial concubine, so he didn't care about it, and walked towards the door with the two behind him.

Looking at the back of Sandao leaving, no one spoke for a long time, and their eyes subconsciously turned to the young man in black, and they could guess that this person should not be in a good mood.

"Second brother!"

A voice sounded by the door, and several figures came together, it was Lu Xue, Kong Xinyue and others, and even Lu Ling'er walked in with her little head poked out.

"Lu Xun, I just saw the dragon shopkeeper leaving with that emperor at the door, what the hell is going on?"

Kong Xinyue is an orphan, so her reverence for Emperor Daxuan is far less strong than that of Yun Xinyu, a genius from the royal family, and there is not much politeness in her tone.

"Hehe, you can't call the dragon shopkeeper in the future, you have to call the dragon princess!"

The corners of Lu Xun's mouth curled slightly, and the words he said made everyone stunned, and secretly said In just such a short time, the dragon shopkeeper turned into a great Xuan Imperial Princess?

"Lu Xun, you just let her go, I originally thought that you and the dragon shopkeeper were a couple!"

Yun Xinyu's face was full of incredulity, although she had never seen Long Zhijun's appearance, but those eyes alone made her guess that the other party should be a great beauty.

Seeing that Lu Xun did not hesitate to start a war with Prince Daxuan in order to protect Long Zhijun that day, he knew that in Lu Xun's heart, his status was definitely not low, and maybe there was some unknown relationship in secret.

It's a pity that Yun Xinyu and the others guessed that these two people have a relationship, but it is not a Taoist relationship, and the other kind of connection belongs to the dragon vein, for this matter, Lu Xun naturally will not take it out and talk nonsense.

"Second brother, why didn't you stop them?"

Lu Xue was also a little puzzled in his heart, and when he asked this question, he also glanced at the two Upper Five Realm powerhouses in the Chess Academy next to him.

Compared to strength, they should be even stronger on their side, right?

"It's her own decision, I'm not her or anything, how can I stop it?"

Lu Xun showed a wry smile on his face, those speculations in his heart were not easy to tell too many people for a while, so he could only give this one answer, which made everyone feel emotional.

From this point of view, it is really that Long Zhijun himself wants to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, and he doesn't want to miss this opportunity.

"Forget it, it's come to this, let's not talk about it, let's talk about Ling'er's birthday banquet!"

Lu Xun shook his head, and then turned his gaze to the small figure, which also made everyone in the audience show a faint smile.

For this terminally ill, but cute and well-behaved little girl, no one will not like it.

And everyone also knew that this might be Ling'er's last birthday party, and they all made up their minds to give the best gift.

Hearing this, Lu Linger's slightly pale face couldn't help but show a touch of excitement, thinking of the accident on her sixth birthday, she couldn't help but feel like a world away.

Although her blood exhaustion is still stubborn, with her relatives such as her second uncle and aunt by her side, and so many brothers and sisters, as well as a newly recognized master, what could be happier than this?

…………

The matter of Ling'er's birthday banquet only spread in a small area of the Academy of Scholars, but the news that Emperor Daxuan was going to marry the imperial concubine spread throughout the entire Daxuan King Capital in just a few days.

Some families with heads and faces received the news as soon as possible, and they also received invitations from the royal family, which can be regarded as an alternative honor.

Emperor Daxuan's harem naturally has interests in the past, and all forces are involved, and they are inextricably linked with the courtiers of the previous dynasty, which is bound to be another change of power and change.

Following the ancient system, the most powerful woman in Emperor Daxuan's harem is divided into one queen and four concubines, and then there are concubines in each palace, that is to say, Long Zhijun, who was directly named the imperial concubine, can be regarded as soaring.

In addition to the position of the queen, two of the four concubines have been vacant for a long time.

Therefore, everyone is curious, who is the woman named Long Zhijun, and how did she directly become the imperial concubine?

And this inquiry undoubtedly shocked many people's jaws.

Long Zhijun, who was originally the shopkeeper of the Crescent Moon Restaurant, was actually a princess from the distant Dragon Kingdom, named Lilong, and was not yet seventeen years old.

After hearing about these things, many people beat their chests, especially those princesses who came from various small vassal countries, and they were even more jealous.

Why can a princess of your little Dragon Kingdom enter the eyes of His Majesty Emperor Daxuan, and he has been here for several years, but he can't even see the face of Emperor Daxuan?

And this news not only spread throughout the entire Great Xuan King Capital, but also spread to the outside world, presumably not long after, all the small vassal countries can get this exciting news.

…………

Dragon Country, the capital of the country!

On the huge Youlong Palace, the top sits Youlong Guojun Longbi, whose side is the national teacher Yaoli, and then below is the Prime Minister Wei Zhao.

The dragon ministers gathered in the hall, but their faces were a little unpleasant.

Because below, a high-spirited envoy of a neighboring country was looking up at the Dragon Monarch, and he didn't have the slightest awe of the king of a country, and even sneered on his face.

Everyone knows that this person is not small, and the Lianchi country where he is located is the overlord of the surrounding countries.

In recent years, the Lianchi Kingdom has annexed several small countries, and now it has extended its claws to the northwest region of the Youlong Kingdom.

This is a bit like the situation encountered by the Xuanyang Kingdom at the beginning, but the situation in the Youlong Kingdom is even worse than that of the Xuanyang Kingdom.

At that time, the Jinjia Kingdom sent an envoy to the Xuanyang Kingdom, just hoping to gain control of a small country that was originally under the control of the Xuanyang Kingdom, and there was nothing to covet the Xuanyang Kingdom itself.

And at this moment, this envoy from Lianchi Country, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was about to visit the ten cities in the northwest of the Dragon Country, which was simply a lion's big mouth, and it was a small half of the northwest of the Dragon Country.

Moreover, the land of the ten cities is the barrier in the northwest of the Dragon Kingdom, if there is no danger of these ten cities, Lianchi Country is a flat river for the Dragon Kingdom, and the other party's iron hooves can even directly rush to the city of the capital of the Dragon City.

But now that Lianchi is powerful, the conquest of the surrounding countries is almost invincible, and if You Long Country does not agree, the other party may have to use another way to take it.

"Your Majesty, today is the deadline given to me by my monarch, and if you can't make a decision, then this envoy can only reply according to the truth!"

This envoy of the Lianchi State had an arrogant face, as if all the monarchs and ministers of the Youlong Kingdom were under his control, and he felt that he was unprecedentedly tall and arrogant.

"Don't blame this envoy for not reminding Your Majesty, using the land of the Ten Cities in exchange for the peace of the Dragon Country, this deal is actually a good deal, otherwise when the time comes, I will see the army of Lian Chi under the Dragon City, don't regret it too late!"

Without waiting for Youlong Guojun to speak, Lian Chi's envoy said something again, which had a strong sense of threat in it, and it also made Youlong's ministers look angry.

"Hmph, I don't believe that you Lian Chi Guo really dared to come in?"

Don't look at Prime Minister Wei Zhao is just a civil servant, but his temper is extremely hot, he heard the other party's threat, and snorted coldly at the moment, but it was a sneer on the face of the envoy of Lian Chi.

"Wei Xiang, don't you know that Prime Minister Li of the Red Fish Country was as tough as you at the beginning, but where is he now?"

The sneer on Envoy Lian Chi's face became a little thicker, and when he mentioned the word "Red Fish Country", You Long Junchen's face changed slightly.

Because everyone knows that the Red Fish Country was a small country that was directly destroyed by the Lianchi Country not long ago, and although its overall strength is not as good as that of the Dragon Country, it is not much worse.

Even Wei Zhao and the so-called Prime Minister Li had a relationship.

But now that the royal family of the Red Fish Country has been wiped out, and all the courtiers have been served in one pot, he naturally knows that Prime Minister Li is now buried in the ground.

"Envoy Fan, there are too many places in the Ten Cities, how about the Five Cities?"

The top Long Bi finally had to speak, even if he was a martial artist with a consummation of the Six Realms, but when facing an envoy of an enemy country who only had five realms, he had to be polite.

Long Bi is making a final struggle, if the other party agrees to the land of the five cities, then there is still a danger to defend in the northwest of the Dragon Kingdom, so as not to be driven straight into by the governor of Lian Chi.

"Since His Majesty the Monarch has said so, then I have to give face!"

The words of this envoy made the ministers of Deyou Long happy at first, and then they heard the other party continue: "At least eight cities, and it must include Shanguan City!" ”

Hearing Envoy Fan's words, Long Bi's brows couldn't help but furrow again.

Because of the ten cities in the northwest, the most important is Shanguan City, which is a real Xiongguan city, known as a husband and a man.

It seems that this Fan envoy of Lian Chi Country is not easy to fool at all, and he directly grasped the point.

And in addition to Shanguan City, the other nine cities, two more and two less, what does it matter to the Dragon Kingdom?
