Chapter 631 Brothers reunited
Ji Xiu cried for a long time.
The prosperous Anyue capital at the foot of the mountain was like a beautiful dream. It had appeared in his mind time and again, only to disappear like bubbles.
Once he fell into the hands of the monster, he was like a toy or a key. Only by constantly torturing him could the monster force out the original breath in Ji Xiu's soul and use it to steal the dragon energy of Emperor Anyue.
I thought there was no hope for my life, but unexpectedly I was rescued.
After Ji Xiu's emotions stabilized a little, Li Yuan took him up the mountain to thank Laojun, and then protected him down the mountain and went to Anyue capital.
Looking at the Anyue capital city which was more than ten times more magnificent than he remembered, Ji Xiu was a little excited and his soul was trembling.
After so many years of separation, Ji Xiu's memory of An Yue when she was poor could not believe that An Yue had become so powerful now.
Li Yuan protected him, pushed away the flying snow, stood at the towering city gate, and stayed there for a long time.
In the inner city of Anyue capital, there is a magnificent imperial palace.
Ji Lin, the former third prince of Anyue and now the regent prince, was reviewing memorials to the emperor when for some reason he felt a palpitation in his heart and looked in the direction outside the palace.
Ji Lin did not embark on the path of cultivation, and now he is gradually getting old, with wrinkles all over his mature and steady face.
He was busy with state affairs every day, and like his father, he had gray hair and half of his head was white even though he was still in good health.
Anyue's national strength is growing stronger, and the development of spiritual science is also going smoothly.
In his hand, he was holding a plan called "Inspirational Four-Wheeled Carriage". There were also young researchers in the palace who were anxiously waiting for their approval.
However, Ji Lin was a little distracted today. He couldn't help but look towards the main gate of Anyue City, as if there was someone or something there that worried him.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Crown Prince?"
In the hall, an elderly minister called out softly.
Ji Lin seemed to have just woken up from a dream. He smiled apologetically at the young researchers and carefully looked at the new application plan in his hand.
All new items created by Lingke are collectively referred to as new items. Every research and development and launch of a new item requires the personal approval of the monarch who is in charge of the country, and no chaos is allowed.
After reading it carefully several times, Ji Lin stamped the emperor's jade seal with great anticipation.
"If this four-wheeled vehicle can really be put into the market, it will definitely benefit the people and also be a great boost to the country's strength! Please feel free to study this matter. If there is a shortage of funds, the national treasury will allocate them!"
Ji Lin agreed to the proposal of this new thing and felt that it should have great potential.
Over the years, Lingke has created more and more things, and Anyue's national strength is growing stronger at a blowout rate.
In this era of technological explosion, the speed of progress even surpasses that of the previous hundreds or thousands of years.
Officials from various departments of the imperial court not only had to constantly adapt to the new era, but also had to deal with matters large and small, which made them increasingly exhausted.
Even Ji Lin himself inherited Emperor Anyue's hard work and worked tirelessly every day.
Sometimes he wondered whether the system and institutions of the Anyue court were already a bit overcrowded and unable to keep up with the progress of the times.
After approving the plan for the Lingji four-wheeled vehicle, Ji Lin no longer wanted to continue serving as a director.
He couldn't help but stand up and said, "I just had a sudden inspiration. Seniors, could you accompany me out of the palace to relax?"
......
The soul is not easy to see, it is just a shadow in the mind.
"I was thinking of bringing him to you, but you were the first to sense it."
Li Yuan looked at Ji Lin at the other end of the street and smiled slightly.
The mature and steady Ji Lin, the Prince Regent, opened his eyes wide and ran over like crazy, as if he was afraid that this was an illusion and that if he was a little slower, his brother's figure would disappear.
The old ministers who followed Ji Lin out were unable to catch up, and the moment they saw Ji Xiu's soul, their eyes were red.
Ji Lin's heart was beating fast. He was traveling incognito, but he saw the soul of Ji Xiu, who was protected by the mountain god, in the city. He was so excited and unbelievable that he could not describe it in words.
He looked at Ji Xiu's illusory soul, wanting to touch it but not daring to. Hot tears flowed down his face uncontrollably, and he had already lost his composure.
It was Li Yuan's spell that allowed him to actually touch Ji Xiu.
Ji Xiu also shed tears again, looking at his third brother who had matured and experienced many changes, he felt deeply moved.
After decades of separation, the two brothers hugged each other excitedly, cried bitterly, and expressed their heartfelt feelings to each other.
For Ji Lin, not being able to stop Ji Xiu from leading his troops to the front line was a lifelong regret.
In that battle, An Yue protected the Qian Kingdom, but he could no longer find his brother.
He always believed that if he had persisted a little longer, he would have been the one leading the troops and dying on the battlefield, instead of his brother.
In the years after Ji Xiu disappeared, An Yue also spread some conspiracy theories, believing that Ji Lin deliberately killed Ji Xiu in order to compete for the position of crown prince.
But only the old ministers of Anyue court and the royal family knew that the two brothers had a very good relationship and would never become enemies for the throne.
They have all come back from the brink of national destruction and have gone through so much hardship along the way. Their friendship is stronger than gold and they will not doubt or fear each other.
Looking at the two emotional brothers, many old ministers secretly wiped away tears, their eyes red.
The people around originally gathered around curiously, but Li Yuan didn't want too many people to watch the reunion of the two brothers, so he waved his sleeves and disappeared with everyone.
Some confused people, after being stunned for a moment, continued with their original things and forgot about the matter.
In Anyue's huge palace.
The palace where Emperor Anyue often stayed was not demolished, but was renovated from time to time.
Ji Lin looked at his brother's soul and tears couldn't stop falling. Even though his emotions had calmed down a lot, his heart was still churning.
"Brother, my father and I have waited for many years and finally waited for you to come back..."
Ji Lin tried to speak calmly, his haggard face full of longing.
His body seemed to have unloaded a huge burden. His back, which had been tense all year long from handling state affairs, now relaxed a lot in front of his brother.
Ji Xiu also had a lot of emotions, and he couldn't stop smiling as he sat at the table with Ji Lin.
"I thought we would never meet again, but luckily the mountain god asked the Jade Emperor to find me..."
The two brothers met again after a long separation and had endless things to talk about.
After Li Yuan's mood calmed down, he sat bored on the stairs at the entrance of the palace, looking at the falling snow, ignoring this touching scene.
Over the years, the guards on duty in the palace have been replaced one after another. The guards who once excitedly shouted "Mountain God" and greeted Li Yuan have now retired.
The new guards were very serious, but they could not see through Li Yuan's face which was deliberately concealed.
They looked at Li Yuan, a "stranger" with a familiar face but unrecognizable identity, with some vigilance, ready to guard the palace at any time.
If it weren't for the instructions of the old ministers, the guards would probably not allow a strange figure to stay at the gate of the palace.
