C996

After Sun Moon City's battle, the Uighur Army of the Hundred Miles Battlefield suffered a pincer attack from both sides. More than half of them died, and the rest all fell.

The victory in this great battle in Sun Moon City, including the hidden plot within, caused a great uproar in the imperial court. After this news was spread out, it caused all the soldiers of Mount Qi, who were from the west, to become enraged.

For a time, the names of Cheng Qing and the others were like the bright moon in the sky, known, remembered, and praised by everyone.

"… …"

In the west, in the capital.

The three days of continuous autumn rain had taken away the last traces of heat from the scorching summer. After the rain, the air was fresh and cool. Breathing in it made people feel relaxed and comfortable.

The leaves of the locust trees that floated through the streets announced the arrival of autumn. As a result, more and more people walked on the streets during the day, making the capital seem even more bustling.

It was a season of peace and harvest. People who had been busy for more than half a year, whether they were nobles or commoners, would have a reason to be happy.

This was especially true of Ji Ning, the seventh prince.

The Emperor had thirteen princes and eighteen princesses. Seventh Prince, who was at the age of a weak crown, wasn't such an illustrious existence.

His mother's title was a mere concubine, not even a concubine. The family was not very powerful, just a middle-class family. Not to mention when compared to the Queen of Liang Feudal Lords, even if compared to the Zhang Imperial Concubine, who came from a high-rank family, there was still a huge gap between them.

Empress Liang had given birth to her eldest son, who had sat steadily in the position of crown prince for fifteen years. Imperial Concubine Zhang had given birth to the emperor's best talent in cultivation, the Fifth Prince.

Compared to his elder brother, Ji Ning, the seventh prince, had always seemed very ordinary. He was so ordinary that he didn't even have a single title as a prefecture lord. The emperor had only bestowed upon him the position of a duke, and was the lowest of the thirteen princes.

Until three years ago, on an ordinary rainy night, thunder had struck the seventh prince's residence and destroyed the largest and thickest locust tree.

Lightning that struck trees was a common sight in thunderstorm days. Originally, it wasn't worth bathing in, so no one would pay attention to it.

However, from that summer onwards, the nobles and nobles of the capital discovered that Ji Ning, who had an ordinary talent, was cultivating at a tremendous pace.

In terms of natural talent, he already had the qualifications to be compared to the Fifth Prince.

Not only that, but it was as if the Seventh Prince had suddenly become enlightened, and his performance in political affairs and literary talent had also suddenly become extremely outstanding.

Seventh Prince, who had always been dull and taciturn, began to talk with poise about the government affairs in the imperial court. He was always quick to settle the matters assigned to him by the emperor; even when he was singing with scholars and poetry, he still had many good essays.

In just three short years, the Seventh Prince's cultivation had risen from the high grade of the Xumi Stage to the high grade of the Conviction Realm.

He, who originally had no official position, had become a fourth rank assistant minister from the sixth rank Minister of the Board of Justice's Minister of External Affairs in the early autumn of this day.

Naturally, his title would be changed from the Duke of the Nation to the King of the County. His mother had also benefited from this and had been made a concubine.

Of the thirteen princes, one was the crown prince, two were the princes, and two were the princes. The rest were dukes. And for princes with power at least at the fourth rank, before this, only the Fifth Prince was a prince.

Seventh Prince had used three years of time to achieve an achievement that was almost to the point of reaching the sky in one leap.

Recently, there were even rumors saying that the Emperor was already considering giving the position of Seventh Prince Prince!

An ordinary prince had suddenly risen to become a dazzling star, and even faintly had the qualifications to be on par with the Crown Prince and Fifth Prince. The people of Beijing couldn't help but sigh in admiration and diligently dig out the reason.

After the unremitting efforts of the crowd, the most accepted rumor appeared in the capital.

Three years ago, on that stormy summer night, not only had it split open the locust tree in the seventh prince's mansion, but it had also attracted an expert from the martial arts world.

It was that hidden expert who helped the Seventh Prince open up the Ren Du and Du Meridians, allowing a prince who was destined to shine with radiance to open his own road of glory.

No one knew who the old man was, where he had come from, where he had gone, or why he had helped the seventh prince. He didn't even know his opponent's cultivation base.

However, many of the commoners around the Prince's Mansion confidently guaranteed that they had indeed seen that fleeting old man on that night.1

No matter what, Ji Ning, the seventh prince of Chang Ning, had already embarked on his legendary journey.
