In Xianwu, people evolve infinitely starting from the prince

"Congratulations to Your Highness, congratulations to Your Highness."

"His Royal Highness is invincible. As soon as he took action, he killed the leader of the thieves, defeated the White Devil Pirate Group, and successfully completed the test for becoming the king."

"I believe that your Majesty will be delighted when he finds out about this."

The ceremonial supervisor Wang Gonggong on the side said flatteringly, his expression was extremely humble.

If it were any other Daqian prince, Wang Gonggong would definitely not be so humble and flattering.

After all, as the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Rituals and Supervisors of Da Gan, he is a true close minister of the Emperor, a powerful Heavenly Master of the first level of martial arts, and he does not need to care about the opinions of an ordinary prince or even a Prince of Da Gan.

Because ordinary Daqian princes, even if they complete the examination for becoming a king, will not be appointed by the emperor in a short period of time. Instead, they will continue to lie dormant and concentrate on their cultivation.

the reason is simple.

It is definitely not a good thing for a warrior to be exposed to officialdom and court battles prematurely.

A large number of political compromises and worldly sophistication will wear away a warrior's spirit. Even if he has great ambitions, it will be worn away bit by bit in the constant compromise and helplessness.

In the end, it will be difficult to break through to the third level of martial arts, or even to the first level of martial arts, the realm of the great master of heaven and man.

In the Daqian Dynasty, among many aristocratic families and martial arts sects, there has always been a saying: "If you are not a master, you will not enter the imperial capital; if you are not a third-level martial artist, you will not be an official."

The reason lies in this.

Tianjing City, as the eternal imperial capital, is the center of the entire Daqian Dynasty. There are countless first-class martial arts and hidden masters in it, and there are many high-ranking families.

For example, the Gu family of Yang An's mother clan is undoubtedly the leading wealthy family in Haizhou.

But if it were to be placed in the imperial capital, it would only be a second- or third-rate small family at best, and would not be able to get on the stage at all.

For example, if a third-level martial arts master is placed in the territory of Haizhou, he is undoubtedly a very important figure, capable of establishing a continental family.

But in the imperial capital, a small third-level martial arts divine transformation grandmaster is nothing at all. At most, it can support a small family that is not popular.

Even this is a good mix.

What if it doesn’t mix well?

Then I can only serve as a doorman, a worshiping thug, or something like that.

As for the third-level martial arts god who became a junior grandmaster?

They couldn't afford the word "noble family" at all. They were from a poor family at most, or from a small family, and it was difficult to make a living in the imperial capital.

This is why there is a saying "If you are not a master, you will not enter the imperial capital".

Then there is the sentence "If you are not at the third level of martial arts, you will not be an official."

The meaning of this sentence is simpler.

Because the officialdom of the court is the most test of people's hearts. It requires understanding of the world and constant fighting and compromise.

And these things are the most debilitating to a person's spirit. Even if you have great ambitions, in the big dye vat of the court, it will be difficult to maintain your original belief in martial arts under the day-to-day wear and tear.

Only a third-grade martial artist, whose spirit and will are united and whose belief in martial arts is firm to the extreme, can maintain his original intention in the court battle and not delay his practice due to various human circumstances.

Over time, the motto "If you are not a master, you will not enter the imperial capital; if you are not a third-level martial artist, you will not become an official."

The Daqian royal family naturally has its own set of processes and methods for cultivating future generations.

The examination for becoming a king at the age of fifteen is just the beginning.

Only princes who pass the examination for becoming a king can receive key training, and the best path of cultivation can be formulated based on each individual's situation.

Instead of hastily entrusting them with important responsibilities after they complete the assessment of becoming kings, allowing them to sit in one place and check and balance the local area.

This is what to do.

Not to mention whether these feudal kings will be ignored by local aristocratic families and martial arts sects, etc., just talking about the personal cultivation of these Daqian feudal kings is a huge problem.

So generally.

If a Daqian prince completes the examination for the title of king, he will not be able to gain the favor of the court within a short period of time. Instead, he will need to continue to study and practice, and get married by the way to solve the major events in his life.

Want to become a vassal?

Either he reaches thirty and voluntarily gives up the fight for the throne of emperor.

Or they could wait for a winner to be crowned emperor, and after the new emperor ascends the throne, he and other princes would be driven back to their own fiefdoms to become kings of the Daqian vassal.

After the previous incident, the prince and father-in-law of the Supervisor of Ceremonies avoided Yang An. On the one hand, he did not want to be involved in the turmoil of the prince's succession, and on the other hand, he was not optimistic about Yang An's strength and did not think that Yang An could compete with him. of those adult elder brothers.

But it's different now.

Yang An, who successfully broke through the realm of the first-level heavenly master in martial arts, has been able to skip the series of processes from the king's examination to the selection of the prince, and has become the first candidate for the prince of Daqian today.

Unless any prince can successfully break through to the first level of martial arts before Yang An returns to Tianjing City.

Otherwise, not only Yang An's position will definitely belong to Yang An, but there is an 80 to 90 percent chance.

It is true that Wang Gonggong is the Deputy Governor of the Department of Ceremonies, but he is also a smart man. He could ignore an ordinary little prince, but he would never dare to ignore the empire's first candidate who was expected to become the Daqian Crown Prince.

Moreover, the prince did not feel that he was wrong.

The appearance of Yang An, a fifteen-year-old peerless monster with first-level martial arts, appeared in the Daqian royal family. It was a great thing for both the Daqian dynasty and Emperor Tailong himself.

Once this matter is reported back to China, it will definitely shock the entire world and greatly enhance the power of the imperial court.

"Your Majesty, you are so complimentary. This is what I, the King, should do."

Yang An smiled faintly and did not take the prince's compliments to heart.

He looked into Baishen City and was about to say something when he suddenly felt something in his heart and turned to look at the northern sky of Baishen City.

I saw a man coming from the northern sky, holding a bloody meat ball the size of a basketball in his hand.

"This old slave has met His Highness, Lord Zuo Zongzheng, and the King's Governor."

The person who came was none other than Li Ruhai, who was sent by Yang An to kill the giant snake in the deep sea.

He came to Yang An's front, respectfully presented the meat ball in his hand, and said: "Your Highness, I have already killed the evil beast that was raging at the dock."

"This thing is the gallbladder of that evil beast. I hope Your Highness will appreciate it."

The gallbladder is the essence of snake creatures.

The gallbladder of ordinary snake creatures, even a python that is several meters long and as thick as a bucket, is no more than the size of an adult's fist.

At this time, the gallbladder in Li Ruhai's hand was the size of a basketball.

From this we can know how huge the giant snake is.

"This time, I'm going to trouble Eunuch Li."

Yang An felt warm in his heart when he looked at the bloody snake gallbladder in Li Ruhai's hand.

Just by looking at the untreated snake gallbladder, you can tell how well Li Ruhai defeated it.

It seems that after he killed the giant deep-sea snake for its bile, he rushed back without stopping without any delay.

Although Yang An didn't know how much of Li Ruhai's loyalty was to him.

But what the other party did still satisfied Yang An very much.

Li Ruhai was greatly relieved when he saw Yang An standing here without any injuries, and said with a smile: "No trouble, no trouble. These are what an old slave should do, there is no trouble at all."

With the return of Li Ruhai.

This time, the bandit suppression mission on Shirakami Island has almost been completed.

All that's left is for the Tianhai Corps to clean up the battlefield and completely take over Baishen City.

It is the base city of the White Devil Pirates.

In Baishen City, there are not only the White Demon pirates, but also the families of the White Demon pirates, as well as many common people who were kidnapped by the pirates, and people from various Southeast Asian countries.

After all, the White Devil Pirates Group has more than 10,000 official pirates.

With so many pirates, their logistical supply and the required food and fodder are also a huge problem.

For this reason, they captured nearly 100,000 people as slaves, allowing these people to farm, mine minerals, etc., and engage in the lowest level of labor on Shirakami Island.

Moreover, these slaves in Baishen City are also the source of troops for the White Demon Pirates, providing a continuous supply of soldiers for the White Demon Pirates.

It's just that these pirates are obviously not good managers.

Therefore, the order in Baishen City is very chaotic, and there are no complete laws and regulations. The pirates are aloof and kill and plunder the slaves at the bottom, without caring about the lives of the slaves at the bottom.

Just the words to describe it.

This Baishen City, like the major tribes in the Meng Yuan Empire, advocates the law of the jungle and the strong, without any etiquette.

Yang An asked Li Ruhai to temporarily put away the gallbladder of the deep-sea giant snake, and then asked in a deep voice: "How is the loss of the ships of the Tianhai Navy Group?"

In fact.

If the giant deep sea snake hadn't appeared.

Yang An would never take action so eagerly.

The main reason to blame was that the giant deep-sea snake was too threatening to the ships of the Sky Marine Corps. In less than a moment, it destroyed nearly a hundred ships.

If Yang An doesn't take action.

I am afraid that the more than 300 ships of the Tianhai Regiment will never escape destruction.

More than three hundred naval ships.

How can it be worth tens of millions of taels of silver?

If the giant snake really destroyed these ships, even if Yang An wiped out the White Demon Pirates and killed everyone in Haizhou who were hiding in the dark, it would be difficult to make up for the losses of the Imperial Sky Navy Group.

This is undoubtedly unacceptable to Yang An, and will also greatly reduce his assessment evaluation for the title of king.

So Yang An could only take action in advance to end this farce.

"Back to Your Highness, I'm afraid the situation of the ships of the Tianhai Marine Corps is not very optimistic."

"That evil beast seems to have the ability to control the sea. When the old slave arrived, it had destroyed nearly half of the ships. Coupled with the aftermath of the battle, there are probably less than 40% of the remaining normal ships."

"This old slave has failed His Highness's trust, and I still ask Your Highness to come down with you."

Li Ruhai apologized with a look of shame on his face.

Yang An shook his head and sighed: "I don't blame my father-in-law for this, I just blame you for underestimating the ruthlessness of the enemy."

"They want the entire Tianhai Corps to be buried with me."

"In other words, they never thought of giving these people a way to survive."

This is not difficult to understand.

After all, ambushing a Daqian prince is a serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan.

Although Yang An didn't know the specific plan of the man in the dark, he could more or less guess the role that the Tianhai Regiment could play in this matter.

It's nothing more than bait, or a final blow to defect.

But regardless of the possibility, the outcome of the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Tianhai Regiment is already determined. It is impossible for them to leave Shirakami Island alive.

This can be seen from the fact that after the deep-sea giant snake appeared, it chose to destroy the naval ships of the Tianhai Regiment as soon as possible, instead of directly attacking the Ganjia No. 9 Feitianlou ship in the sky, or rushing to the aid of the pirates on Shirakami Island.

Even not only the Tianhai Corps, but also the recruited members of the Haizhou Family, as well as ordinary White Demon pirates, and everyone in Baishen City, could not be killed and silenced.

This matter is not difficult to understand.

Because once Yang An died on Baishen Island, it would be a major case that would shock the entire Daqian Dynasty.

All those involved in this matter would be investigated and interrogated by the court.

In front of the huge machine of the Daqian Dynasty, let alone the tens of thousands of troops of the surviving Tianhai Corps, even hundreds of thousands of troops would be investigated and questioned one by one.

Who can guarantee that tens of thousands of people can keep their mouths shut?

It is definitely impossible.

The best way is to bury the entire Tianhai Corps, including the White Demon Pirates, on this Baishen Island.

Just like when the twelfth prince Yang Bing was assassinated and died a year ago, the thousands of troops accompanying him, including a court noble, all died.

Anyway, Yang An did not believe that the death of his twelfth brother was only caused by the Lihuo Sect, and no other forces were involved.

Similarly, if the aristocratic families and martial arts sects in Haizhou did not want to bear the endless anger of the court and did not want to be confiscated and exterminated, they could only abandon the Tianhai Corps together.

This is also the reason why the deep-sea giant snake attacked the ships of the Tianhai Corps as soon as it appeared.

To put it bluntly, it wanted to completely cut off the retreat of the Tianhai Corps, just like Yang An launched a comprehensive artillery attack on all the ports and docks of Baishen Island before the war, destroying all the ships of the White Demon Pirates.

It's just that those people in the dark are more ruthless and want to kill everyone on Baishen Island, whether they are enemies or friends.

"Sure enough."

"I am still too kind."

Yang An sighed faintly and sighed for his kindness.

He found that he could not be as ruthless as "one general's success means thousands of bones are broken" after all, and it was difficult for him to sit back and watch tens of thousands of low-level soldiers of the Tianhai Corps, as well as the former Jinwu Guards, die in vain because of a conspiracy against him.

If he really followed his original plan.

He must wait until the enemy's trump cards are all out before taking action, and eliminate all the enemies in the dark, as well as the hidden dangers hidden in the Tianhai Corps.

Only in this way can he obtain the greatest benefits.

It's just that he couldn't help but take action in advance, and he couldn't be truly ruthless.

But it doesn't matter.

With his strength, he really doesn't need to care about these aristocratic families and martial arts sects in Haizhou.

If he didn't succeed this time, he would wait for the next time.

Anyway, he has plenty of time to play with the people in Haizhou.

Because according to the regulations of the Daqian court, even if he becomes the prince of Daqian, Haizhou will be his fiefdom.

After all, according to the process, he first became the prince of Daqian, and then the prince of Daqian.

This is also the biggest advantage of the prince of Daqian over ordinary princes of Daqian.

Not only can he enjoy the original prince's fiefdom, but he can also obtain the resources that should belong to the prince of Daqian.

Double resources, double surprises!
