Chapter 3 It's Better To Go Back
On March 751, 3 in the imperial calendar, Yantian Kaide, head of the First Imperial Army Corps, proposed to His Majesty the Emperor George IX that his second son, Liuyun, was seriously ill and needed long-term recuperation.George IX did not agree at first, but under Xia Tian's repeated requests, he finally nodded in agreement.In the early morning of the next day, Liuyun Kaide took twenty guards, bid farewell to the imperial capital Yun'an, and returned to the former residence of Fengyu Plain to recuperate. "Kade's cancer" has since faded out of people's sight.

On the official road, Liu Yun was dressed in white, with long hair draped over his shoulders, looking back at the imperial capital Yun'an City quietly.

Bathed in the morning sun, Yun'an City is particularly vicissitudes and majesty.This ancient city, since the founding of the Huoyun Empire 500 years ago, has experienced endless storms and baptisms of war, and has become a spiritual pillar in the hearts of the people of the empire.

The famous Emperor George IV in the history of the Fire Cloud Empire once established a royal ancestral motto: "When Yuncheng falls, that is when the blood of the royal family will be drained!"

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is a city that will never fall.No matter how powerful the enemy is, as long as Yuncheng is not broken, the resistance struggle on the land of the empire will not stop.The many scars on the city wall have been preserved in previous repairs, like a thick history book, telling the suffering and unyielding of a country.

Yuncheng is also the birthplace of Liuyun on this continent.In his eyes, it resembled the ancient capital Chang'an, giving him an inexplicable feeling of closeness and hometown.When he left now, there were his relatives here.All of this seemed very ethereal, like a dream after sleeping on the operating table.

Liu Yun sighed, and looked away from Yun'an City.

"Second brother, I put the things for the road on the carriage. Write to me if you have anything to do."

"En." Liu Yun replied, and looked around again.

The only person from the family to see him off was A Lei.

A group of young aristocrats stood far away around them, who came to witness the great moment when the "tumor" was swept out of the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital.

"Tch, I really thought that kid wasn't afraid of being beaten. He was still beaten away."

"When I found out that he was the princess' fiancé, I felt like throwing up. Just like him, I still wanted to eat swan meat."

"As expected of the cancer of the Kaide family, this time the Kaide family has lost face."

The sound of discussion from a distance made Alei's pretty face turn green and turn pale, showing signs of an outbreak.Liu Yun grabbed his sister's hand, smiled and shook his head.

"Don't be impulsive, little sister. Before long, they will gradually forget me."

After finishing speaking, Liu Yun turned around and strode towards the young nobles who were watching.

"Everyone take care, we will meet later." With a clasped fist, Liu Yun turned around and jumped onto the horse.

"Little sister, please go back."

Smiling and instructing A Lei, Liu Yun yelled "Let's go" to the guards, and galloped away.The group of people gradually disappeared into the distance, leaving only a tearful figure of a girl looking into the distance.

Imperial Palace.

"Yantian, why do you insist on retiring the engagement? You must give me an explanation!" In the palace, King George IX was furious, looking at Yan Tian and asked loudly.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. There is indeed an inside story about this matter. My second son, who has been lax in discipline and notoriety, has spread far and wide. If he does not withdraw the engagement, he may damage the reputation of the princess in the future. I did this as a last resort. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." .”

Yan Tian knew that the emperor's anger was not because of the failure of the marriage, but because it was related to the face of the royal family and the Kaide family, so he replied carefully.

"Yantian, you have followed me since you were a child, and you are like brothers and sisters. During the years of war, the men of the Kaide family shed blood and sweat for the Huoyun Empire, causing countless deaths and injuries. In the battle of Yanyun, you led [-] cavalry from the [-] army. Rescue me from trouble, [-] soldiers died for the country. I betrothed my daughter to Liuyun to comfort the soldiers who died. How can I face the people of the empire with today's incident?"

George IX's face was ugly, and he seemed to think of the heart-wrenching battle again.

"Your Majesty, the Kaide family has been loyal to the emperor and patriotic for generations. It is a pity that my unfilial son doesn't know martial arts and has no military achievements. How dare he take the glory of Yanyun's victory? How can the princess be married to such a poor man? Evil young man? This non-retirement marriage is a disgrace to the Kaide family and a disgrace to the royal family!"

Speaking of this, Yan Tian couldn't help feeling sour when he thought of the second son who left the imperial capital alone to return to Fengyu Plain.

After listening to Xia Tian's words, George was silent for a while, and his face finally got better.

"Xia Tian, ​​this matter is embarrassing for you. If you quit, just quit. Naya's child is also making noises in her ears all day long. Now I can be quiet. The children's affairs will be left to them from now on."

In fact, when referring to the marriage, thinking of a hero in the Kaide family, he would definitely not be able to wrong his daughter, who knew that there would be such an outlier as Liu Yun.

"You are also getting old, so don't lead the troops yourself anymore. The Minister of Military Affairs has resigned in old age, so you are ready to take over." George sighed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After hearing the emperor's words, Yan Tian immediately understood the emperor's intentions.

This is a kind of compensation from the emperor to the Kaide family, and at the same time, it is also to let the people in the court understand that the Kaide family is still the emperor's most trusted family.

"By the way, Yan Tian, ​​the enrollment of the Yuncheng Mowu Academy has ended. Those from other countries are all elites, but the students from the Fire Cloud Empire are all noble children, and many of them are ignorant. The situation is not optimistic." The emperor's words revealed deep worry.

"Perhaps the few years of peace have made the nobles forget the horror of war. These damned nobles are really a big problem for the empire."

The emperor could only express these complaints in front of Yan Tian.The Huoyun Empire was founded by nobles. For hundreds of years, these nobles made great contributions to the empire and became the foundation of the empire.But the superior life has also slowly degraded many nobles. Except for noble appearance, elegant demeanor and corrupt life, the quality of nobility has disappeared.

But it is such a group of people, whose roots are intertwined, and the whole body is affected by one hair, so that George IX, who is the emperor, can't do anything.

"Your Majesty, I think there is a way to solve this problem. When enrolling students at Yuncheng Mowu Academy next year, it is better to expand the scope and allow talented young people from all over the empire to take the exam and admit the best. For these students, they are willing to join the army after graduation. I will vigorously cultivate those who serve in the army. At the same time, we can also hold an imperial magic and martial arts competition to select a group of talents to serve in the army or in the court."

"Well, you really understand my thoughts, old fox..." The emperor finally smiled.

Xia Tian knew that the emperor wanted to use a group of young people from the bottom of society to send some fresh blood to the empire.Nobles, they have slowly degenerated. Isn't his second son the bitter fruit of the noble life?

"I'll leave this to you. Don't let those nobles smell anything, or I won't be quiet again. Their eyes are only staring at the big gold coins in front of them. How can they see the war?" I want to let the countries in the Blue Moon Continent know that I am not a warlike person, and I am definitely not a person who is afraid of war!"

Harem.

Princess Xiangyu was lazily lying on the rocking chair in the garden, listening to the servant girl Linglong talk about how she left the capital.

Princess Xiangyu is the youngest daughter of King George IX, named Naya.It is said that when she was born, she had the fragrance of orchid musk on her body, and when she grew up, her snowy skin was as smooth as jade, so she was named Princess Xiangyu.From the age of seven, he studied under the sword master of Rand, and became a junior sword master at the age of 17, showing his extreme talent in martial arts.Moreover, she has been familiar with military books since she was a child, and she is also very talented in marching formations and commanding operations.

"These ridiculous people." After listening to Linglong's description of how a group of young nobles behaved when Liuyun left, Naya shook her head.

At this time, she felt somewhat sympathetic to the former fiancé who had never been masked.

She was opposed to this marriage, because among the noble youths in the imperial capital, there was no one she could fancy.

In a sense, Naya is very lonely, which is a feeling of being too cold at a high place.She, Princess Xiangyu, is not a vase. She practiced martial arts under the Sword Master's sect, which gave her the strength to be a heroine. Her military talent gave her the ability to look down on men in the world. The superiority of all beings.

"The heroic Kaide family unexpectedly developed such a cancer." She sighed softly, as if feeling sorry for the Kaide family.

"Those frivolous young masters just put a crime on my head, alas. Although I object to this marriage, I didn't force him to leave the imperial capital."

She didn't know that at the beginning when she asked for a divorce, although she was rejected by the emperor, she had a huge influence on the young people who admired her in the imperial capital.

After Ah Lei returned to the mansion, she locked herself in the room.Thinking of her second brother, her tears couldn't stop falling again.At the moment Liu Yun left, she seemed to know that her second brother would never be a bad person from now on, but he became a heartless person.
