Villain: Who said I came here to break off the engagement?

After receiving the reminder from the mountain master, Shen Yan said no more and just watched Li Guanhai being taken away.

After tens of thousands of soldiers left, he immediately came to Mr. Ruan and said with some worry, "Mountain Master, is everything okay?"

"Strange." Mr. Ruan did not answer, but raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Little friend Li has just been here for a few days, and you are so loyal to him that you are so worried about his safety."

Shen Yan said: "After all, he is my patient in Yaowang Mountain. Although I have many differences with him, we have a good relationship. I can't just watch him die, right?"

"Good boy, if you treat people sincerely, people will naturally treat you sincerely." Mr. Ruan reached out and rubbed Shen Yan's head, and smiled: "Don't worry, he will be fine, I will follow him later."

"Yeah." Shen Yan nodded.

Qin Shu, who was standing aside, also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

...

Li Guanhai was taken to Yongning Prefecture, which is the jurisdiction of the prefect Chen Hai.

Along the way, he was not handcuffed or shackled, nor was he imprisoned in a prison car. Instead, he rode a horse and followed Lord Chen, occasionally talking to him.

But Lord Chen was not talkative, but he had a good chat with Bai Mu. They talked about all kinds of strange things, and they were very harmonious.

During the chat, Li Guanhai also asked about the other party's true identity. It turned out that Bai Mu was the grandson of the old prince Bai in the Dawu Dynasty.

The Bai family has been loyal ministers for generations, and is a family of generals. They have also made great contributions and are the founding heroes of the Dawu Dynasty.

This glory has continued to this day, and it has reached its peak under the leadership of the old prince Bai. He was named king and was above all civil and military officials.

In addition, the Bai family holds military power, and there are people from the Bai family in many important institutions of various prefectures, counties, or the court. They are really powerful and can be said to be able to cover the sky with one hand.

After guarding the border for many years, the Bai family has cultivated countless soldiers and confidants, and has a very high prestige in the hearts of the soldiers. Some of these people have risen to prominence and were sent to guard other places or serve as military commanders, each of whom has a lot of troops.

In short, the Bai family is definitely the representative of the peak of power in the Dawu Dynasty.

But it is precisely because of this that Li Guanhai feels a little strange. As the saying goes, the merits are so great that they shock the master. The Bai family is so powerful, and its connections are all over the court and the world. The royal family of the Dawu Dynasty did not suppress it, but let it go?

Does the royal family trust the Bai family so much?

Li Guanhai does not believe it, because no royal family in ancient and modern times would entrust their own safety to others.

If the Bai Palace is honest, the world will be peaceful.

But if the Bai Palace has some ambitions, what can the royal family do?

The ownership of the imperial power can only be in one's own hands, and cannot be determined by the loyalty of others. This is the most superficial truth. Li Guanhai understands it, and the people of the royal family are not fools. Of course, they also understand it, but why is this?

He only thought about these doubts in his heart, and did not ask Bai Mu, after all, these things had nothing to do with him.

Taking this opportunity, Li Guanhai also heard from Bai Mu many interesting things that had happened in Daluotian, and remembered them in his heart.

Soon they arrived at Yongning Mansion, and Chen Hai asked the soldiers to return to the camp and rest and wait.

Li Guanhai was taken to the prefect's house by him, and he ordered the servants to set up a banquet to entertain three distinguished guests.

In addition to Li Guanhai and Bai Mu, the third distinguished guest was Mr. Ruan. He came very quickly. He arrived not long after Li Guanhai arrived at the prefect's house. Obviously, he followed all the way.

It was getting dark, the wine and food were ready, and the prefect Chen personally invited the three people to sit down.

At the dinner table, Bai Mu held the unsealed pharmacopoeia, bowed and smiled, "Thank you, Master Ruan, for giving it up. I, Bai Mu, will remember this favor."

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce myself." He raised his lips slightly, "I am Bai Mu, the grandson of the old prince Bai of the Dawu Dynasty."

Li Guanhai and Prefect Chen already knew about it, and there was no expression on their faces at this moment.

Mr. Ruan's face changed when he learned about it. To be honest, he would not be so surprised if the young man in front of him was born in any super power in Daluotian, but he was really shocked to hear that he was the prince of the powerful Bai Palace.

Who in the whole Daluotian doesn't know the Bai Palace? Whether it is the rivers and lakes or the temple, the power of the Bai Palace is definitely at its peak. There are super powers that dare to challenge it, but they are very few.

After Mr. Ruan was surprised, he secretly felt lucky that he had made the right decision and handed over the pharmacopoeia. If he hadn't handed it over, he would have been targeted by the prince of the Bai Palace, and he might have been accused of treason one day and be exterminated by the imperial court.

Now he not only resolved the crisis, but also sold a favor to the prince of the Bai Palace. It was perfect.

Mr. Ruan smiled slightly, "Prince Bai, you are too polite. It's just a pharmacopoeia."

"No, no, no." Bai Mu shook his head, "Although it is just a pharmacopoeia, it is a legacy of Yaowang Mountain after all. There is a saying that a gentleman does not take away what others like. Today I forced Mr. Ruan to give it up with pain, and I will make compensation in the future."

Mr. Ruan was waiting for this sentence, and immediately raised his glass and clinked it with him.

Several people started chatting again, and the topic gradually turned to the seven-year competition of the Qijue Sect.

This was the first time Li Guanhai heard of this matter. He was particularly interested in things like competitions, so he listened carefully to Bai Mu's story.

After listening to him, I learned that the prince of the Bai Palace was also studying in the Qijue Gate. This was not surprising. The Qijue Gate was a school established by the Dawu Dynasty. It was a place to train talents for the court. Over the years, many talented people have emerged and become pillars of the country, or have made a great name for themselves in the world.

Almost all officials in the court would send their children to the Qijue Gate for training, and there were privileges. The threshold for the entrance examination would be lower than that of ordinary people or people in the world, but not too much lower. Incompetent people could not enter the Qijue Gate even if they took the back door.

Not only the children of officials, but even the princesses and princes of the royal family would be sent to the Qijue Gate for training. The Dawu Dynasty ruled the country with martial arts, and fighting on the battlefield was not just a man's business. When it came to a critical moment, even women had to wear battle robes and go to the battlefield.

Li Guanhai also got an interesting piece of information. If you can win the Qijue Gate's seven-yearly competition, you can enter the Xuanmen Jiutian.

Even Bai Mu couldn't explain what exactly this Xuanmen was. He only knew that Xuanmen was in the capital of the Dawu Dynasty and was controlled by the royal family. No one knew where it came from. He only knew that it was a place where people could be reborn.

Anyone who enters Xuanmen can almost become a big man who stirs up the world in the future.

But it is not absolute. There are also some people who enter Xuanmen and get opportunities, but they die for various reasons. There are too many.

The old prince Bai of the Bai Palace won the championship in the Seven Absolute Gate Competition and entered the Xuantian Gate. He did not die halfway, but led the Bai family to the peak. He was awarded the highest honor and power by the royal family and was named the third king of a different surname since the founding of the dynasty!
