As A Deposed Prince, My First Check-in Awards Me A Snow Dragon - Chapter 29

Chapter 29 Princess Yongning, and a Secret Realm From Heaven

In the Southern Kingdom.

The vast palace was located in Nanjiang City. It towered into the clouds, and it was majestic and symbolized the authority of the Ninth Prince, Ye Lang.

The mountain was high, and the emperor was far away. Ye Lang was the emperor of the Southern Kingdom.

He raised private troops and recruited strong people. The economy of the Southern Kingdom was prosperous. Ye Lang pursued martial arts. This was why everyone in the Southern Kingdom worshipped martial arts.

After so many years of planning and laying low, Ye Lang boasted that he had the strength to enter the imperial capital and easily ascend to the throne of Great Xia.

Two months ago, Shi Xiangxiang had sent news that Emperor Xia was poisoned and would not live long. Ye Lang knew that his chance had come.

If he had not broken through to the next realm in seclusion, the army of the Southern Kingdom would have arrived at the imperial capital by now. Now that he had broken through to the Mingxuan realm, everything was ready, and it would be easy for the army to enter Chang’an.

In the main hall, Ye Lang’s figure appeared in the palace, and an old man in white quickly walked toward him. This man’s name was Xu Changfeng, Ye Lang’s chief tactician, who was in charge of the Southern Kingdom’s Intelligence Agency and suicide soldiers.

“Your Highness, something has happened in Chang’an.”

“What’s wrong? Has my brother passed away?”

Xu Changfeng replied, “Your Highness, Branch Leader Shi has been captured. None of the people who went to Chang’an for the birthday celebration have returned. I’m worried that the Crown Prince should know about your ambition to rule the world.”

Ye Lang was shocked. “When did that happen?”

“Ten days ago,” Xu Changfeng said in a deep voice. “Your Highness, there’s one more thing.”

“Speak,” he said.

“In the battle of the north, 3,000 Xia soldiers defeated 70,000 Northern Barbarian soldiers. Lu Bu led the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and became famous in one battle.” Xu Changfeng looked at Ye Lang and continued, “Your Highness, I have sent people to investigate Lu Bu, but he seemed to have appeared out of thin air.”

Ye Lang squinted his eyes and said coldly, “My brother has hidden himself so well. I’ve been fooled by him for so many years. Cultivators from all forces have come to Chang’an for the birthday celebration. With Branch Leader Shi, they are a force that cannot be underestimated.”

“To be able to annihilate their entire army is enough to show that the Xia Palace has countless powerhouses. 3,000 soldiers can fight against 70,000 armored cavalries of the Northern Barbarians. What kind of combat power is this army?”

It was terrifying to think about it.

“Your Highness, it’s true that Emperor Xia was poisoned. The Crown Prince is in charge of the country, and our understanding of the Crown Prince is too little. It’s still at the level of three years ago.” Xu Changfeng paused for a moment and continued, “Your Highness, are we still sending out troops?”

Ye Lang fell into deep thought. “What’s the situation with Long’er?”

“Your Highness, the Prince went to the Myriad Demon Valley to gain experience, but there is no news yet.”

“Know yourself and know your enemy, and you’ll always win. We know little about the Crown Prince, and it’s too risky to send out troops rashly. Let our people figure out the situation in Chang’an City, especially Crown Prince Ye Xuan.”

“He is a descendant of the Yu Clan. All forces want him dead. Let’s wait and see.

Ye Lang wasn’t a reckless person. After lying low for so many years, he wasn’t in a hurry. He could not let the Southern Kingdom fall into danger.

“Your Highness, Branch Leader Shi has been captured. If we are exposed, will the Crown Prince attack us?”

“It’s fine. The Southern Kingdom is my territory. If the Crown Prince dares to send people here, I’ll make sure they won’t be able to return.” Ye Lang was full of confidence and firmly believed that in the Southern Kingdom, no matter who came, they had to know their place. On this day, Zhao Gao led the members of Dragnet and entered Nanjiang City quietly. After everyone went into hiding, they began to collect information about Ye Lang. With their arrival, a storm of blood was bound to rise in the Southern Kingdom.

In the Eastern Palace.

During this period, Ye Xuan had been in a state of confusion. He had learned from Li Chuntian and Li Lingxiao that both the Fuzi Palace and the Dark Clan wanted to obtain an item from him. They said that it was left behind by his mother.

Ye Xuan thought for a moment. Other than the system, there really wasn’t anything else on him. The main reason was that Li Chuntian and the other guy didn’t know what they were looking for.

The matter seemed to have fallen to a dead end, but Ye Xuan knew that the Dark Clan, Fuzi Palace, the Blood Sect, and the Sky Demon Sect had participated in the assassination of his mother. With Li Chuntian and the others removed, these forces would definitely send more people.

Why was he suddenly looking forward to it?

Could it be that he had masochism syndrome? Outside the hall, a burst of footsteps came, and Gao Ying appeared in the hall. He bowed and said, “Your Highness, Princess Yongning is back. Governor Cao of the embroidered uniform guards is outside the hall, requesting to see you.”

Ye Xuan put down the document in his hand and looked puzzled. Princess Yongning had returned. In his memory, there were four princesses in Great Xia, namely Changle, Yongning, Anning, and Ankang.

As the eldest princess, Changle was older than him. The remaining three princesses, Yongning, Anning, and Ankang, were all younger than him. “Eunuch Gao, where did Princess Yongning come back from?”

Gao Ying replied, “Your Highness, Princess Yongning is cultivating in Jingxiang Temple. Today, she has returned with her senior sister from the sect. Her senior sister is from the Tantai family. This family has some connections with Your Highness.”

“What do you mean?” Ye Xuan asked.

“Your Highness, the Tantai family, and His Majesty were good friends in the past. They traveled the world together to gain experience. If I remember correctly, His Majesty and the Tantai family were once engaged.” Gao Ying continued.

“After Empress Yu left, there was no more news about this matter. In the past, the Tantai family would send gifts to His Majesty every New Year’s festival. In these three years, there has been no contact. Your Highness, if you have the time, go and ask His Majesty about what happened.”

Ye Xuan nodded. “Let them enter the palace!”

Gao Ying bowed and left the main hall. After a while, two beautiful figures appeared in the main hall. One of them was dressed in a light yellow dress and was full of vitality. The other had a peerless face and was dressed in a snow-white robe, like a true immortal descending to the mortal world.

Even Ye Xuan, who had lived two lives, was stunned by the woman in front of him. “Brother, why do you keep staring at Sister Tantai!”

The woman in the light yellow dress said with an evil smile. She was Princess Yongning, Ye Qingxuan.

Ye Xuan was a little embarrassed and blushed.

“Yongning, why don’t you introduce her to me?”

Ye Qingxuan turned to look at the woman in white. “Sister Tantai, you should introduce yourself!”

Tantai Lan bowed. “Jingxiang Temple. Tantai Lan greets the Crown Prince!”

Ye Xuan raised his hand slightly and motioned for Tantai Lan to stand up. “Miss Tantai, you don’t have to be so polite.”

His eyes fell on Ye Qingxuan as he spoke. “Yongning, aren’t you cultivating in the Jingxiang Temple? How did you have time to come back?”!

In his memory, the person who had been taking care of him three years ago was Princess Changle, and the other three princesses were little girls who had been following behind In a short three years, she had grown up to be a beautiful and elegant woman.

him.

“Brother, I have come back for two things.”

“Tell me!”

“Firstly, I want to visit my father and help the empire to drive out the Northern Barbarian army. Secondly, a secret realm has fallen from the sky. I want to enter the secret realm with Sister Tantai.” Ye Qingxuan said slowly, “Brother, do you want to come with us?” A secret realm from heaven?

Ye Xuan knew that Cao Zhengchun had come to report this matter. “Yongning, go and see father first. I will come to you after I’m done with my business.”

“Alright,” Ye Qingxuan took Tantai Lan’s hand and turned to leave the hall. The next moment, Cao Zhengchun and Iron Slave entered. The latter said in a deep voice, “Young Master, the two girls who just went out are not bad.”

Ye Xuan said, “Rude. Yongning is my sister.” Iron Slave’s expression changed. “Young Master, I have been rude. I did not know.”

Ye Xuan waved his hand, indicating for him to get up. “How’s the bloodline fusion going? You’re out of seclusion so soon.” Iron Slave had a proud look on his face. “Young Master, I’m very strong now. I can fight a hundred people by myself. If there’s a fight, you can just send me there. I’ll show you what it means to be invincible.”
