Chapter 1090 1090, Distribution of Power in the Human Emperor Domain
Lin Yuan followed Jian Gaoyang to the military tent to drink, and the two had a good chat. Whether it was cultivation experience or fighting methods, the two had different views. After a discussion, both of them gained a lot.
As the saying goes, a thousand cups of wine are not enough when you meet a bosom friend, and a half a word is too much when you are not on the same page. The two drank dozens of jars of Immortal Wine without realizing it.
All the soldiers in the army admired this young hero. Not only was this young hero amazing in combat power, but his drinking capacity was also at the level of a hero.
Lin Yuan saw that Jian Gaoyang had extraordinary knowledge and high cultivation, and he was already at the level of destiny mirror. He didn't expect that he would be willing to be just a deputy marshal guarding the border.
"Jian Marshal, in my opinion, the people in the imperial capital really have no vision. They actually placed a talent like you to guard this border. It's a waste of talent."
Jian Gaoyang spoke in a literary language, and didn't say anything. He just picked up the wine in his hand and drank a few gulps fiercely. His expression was gloomy, as if he remembered something sad.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Lin Yuan stopped asking.
He also took a few gulps of wine.
"It's great!"
"Brother Lin Yuan, we hit it off right away. It's so nice to drink and chat today."
"Brother, I'll tell you what's hidden in my heart."
...
Jian Gaoyang introduced Lin Yuan in detail the distribution of forces in the Human Emperor Domain and the party struggles in the court.
The Emperor of the Human Emperor Domain is gifted and has a profound cultivation, but he is obsessed with cultivation and doesn't care about other things. He only took action to suppress the demons' large-scale invasion of the Human Emperor Domain a few times. If not, the Emperor's figure has not appeared on the dragon throne in the court for many years.
Originally, the government was handed over to the crown prince of the dynasty, but after a few years, the crown prince went to a foreign land to look for treasures and has been missing since then, and many other princes began to give in to compete for the crown prince.
After all, the country cannot be without a king for a day.
However, those loyal and faithful followers of the prince have never given up on finding the prince's whereabouts, and they have to try their best to maintain the current situation.
Among the princes, the third prince, the fourth prince, and the seventh prince have the greatest power.
All three of them have coveted the position of the prince for a long time.
With the disappearance of the prince, the power of the prince's party has gradually disappeared and declined.
And Jian Gaoyang is one of the prince's party members. Because of his straightforward character, he has been extremely protective of the prince's status, and has long been a thorn in the eyes of the other princes. Therefore, no officials in the court dared to associate with him. After a long time, he was impeached and then sent to guard the border.
With Jian Gaoyang's ability, he could be like a fish in water in the court, but the struggle for imperial power in the royal family was too fierce.
He stood on the wrong team and was implicated. Fortunately, he has served the dynasty for many years and has made great achievements. Now he has been guarding the border for many years. Compared with other officials, he has the best ending.
But Lin Yuan knew that the border was full of yellow sand, supplies were scarce, and he had to be on guard against the demons at all times. How could it compare to the days of abundant supplies and fine food in the imperial capital.
The only better days were those away from the intrigues and factional struggles in the court.
After saying this, Jian Gaoyang's face was full of sadness, but he was not frustrated by the injustice he suffered, but was thinking about the long-lost Crown Prince.
When Lin Yuan saw Jian Gaoyang mention the Crown Prince of the Human Emperor Domain, his whole person was full of spirit.
Presumably, the crown prince who could be impressed by such a heroic man must be a wise and kind person.
Because Jian Gaoyang would say this from time to time.
"If the Crown Prince ascends to the throne, it will be a blessing for the entire Human Emperor Domain. Such a wise monarch will definitely not let the people of the Human Emperor Domain live in dire straits."
...
But just as the two were drinking, a rude voice broke the harmony.
"Where is Jian Gaoyang? Come out and greet me."
The man outside the door seemed to be pulled by someone, shouting loudly, with provocation in his words.
Lin Yuan saw Jian Gaoyang's unhappy face, and knew that the other party was not here for good.
There are probably only a few princes in the whole dynasty who can be greeted by the deputy commander guarding the border.
Jian Gaoyang held his forehead with his hand, looking like he didn't want to face it, and walked back and forth beside the military tent.
Lin Yuan couldn't help laughing when he saw Jian Gaoyang's embarrassment. He didn't know who could make the great commander so headache.
"Brother Lin Yuan, wait a moment, I'll be back soon."
But before he finished speaking, someone opened the military tent and entered it.
"Marshal Jian, I haven't seen you for a few days. What a high position you have? You actually asked this prince to come to you specially."
"Hmph!"
"Your Highness the Third Prince, I dare not."
Jian Gaoyang immediately bowed and clasped his fists in return.
Lin Yuan saw that this person had an extraordinary demeanor, with the attitude of a superior. He threw away his gorgeous cloak, stood with his hands behind his back, raised his chin, and looked at no one.
Jian Gaoyang was immediately embarrassed, but he knew that the third prince would come to the palace for no reason, and he didn't know how he would embarrass him today.
"Jian Gaoyang, do you know your crime?"
Jian Gaoyang immediately straightened up, with a puzzled look on his face.
"I don't know, I hope Your Highness will tell me clearly."
Lin Yuan saw that the third prince was only in the middle stage of the Heavenly Man Realm, but his style was bigger than that of people in the Heavenly Fate Realm.
There were more than a dozen followers around him, some fanning the wind, some holding umbrellas to block the sun, and even more outrageous was that there were four beautiful girls scattering pure white flowers beside him.
Lin Yuan took a look and found that the petals falling on the ground were actually Roselle.
If this thing is placed in the hands of an ordinary cultivator, it is also an extremely precious medicinal material.
But the third prince actually scattered it on the ground and stepped on it. You can imagine how extravagant he is in his daily life.
The third prince closed his eyes and said nothing, looking angry and unwilling to speak.
The follower beside him spoke first.
"Jian Gaoyang, you privately led tens of thousands of soldiers to fight against the demons in the northwest hunting valley. Did you report it?"
"The demons are cunning. If there is an ambush, will tens of thousands of soldiers of the Golden Tiger Legion of the Human Emperor Domain be buried with you?"
"Can you bear this sin?"
Jian Gaoyang cursed in his heart when he heard it.
In the past, when he encountered a sneak attack by the demons, he applied to him many times to leave the station. The other party always delayed the opportunity to fight on the grounds of putting the overall situation first and watching the war quietly, and then caused heavy casualties to the soldiers.
If this person was not a prince, Jian Gaoyang would have jumped up and punched his pig head.
"But considering that you saved the lives of the soldiers this time, you can be spared the death penalty, but you can't escape the punishment of life."
"Your Highness, please show mercy and escort the corpse of the demon back to the capital to atone for your dereliction of duty."
"Do you have any objections?"
Lin Yuan and Jian Gaoyang took a deep breath, and the same sentence rang out in their hearts: "What a guy! I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such a shameless person who is so high-sounding."
