Chapter 1071 The Great Emperor's Expedition
The group didn't take the little incident that had just happened seriously.
The purpose of that little incident was to address their cooperative relationship.
Long Aotian patted Ye Nanxiao on the shoulder and asked, "How did you do that?" The palace maid had indeed only brought over an invitation card, something he and Princess Vina had both witnessed.
Ye Nanxiao smiled and said, "As the deputy sect leader of a sect that is renowned for its hidden weapons, I have some knowledge of small-scale engineering projects, which is no problem for me."
The Tang Clan possesses thousands of hidden weapons. If the invitation were to be converted into a level of craftsmanship for hidden weapons, it wouldn't even qualify as the lowest-grade weapon.
Making a copy is not difficult at all, especially since Ye Nanxiao's storage ring contains an exceptionally complete set of materials.
Long Aotian asked in confusion, "I didn't see when you made it."
"I did this casually while chatting with you." Two small, icy hands suddenly appeared on Ye Nanxiao's shoulder.
"Like this."
Ye Nanxiao tossed a piece of metal onto it, and two pairs of frost hands quickly began to dance, sending shards of ice flying, and a small robot model was completed.
Long Aotian couldn't help but nod and give a thumbs up. As expected of the deputy sect leader of the Tang Clan, his skills are excellent and deserve a reward!
We boarded the royal carriage and arrived at Tiandou Square.
Tiandou Square was heavily surrounded by Imperial Guards, who had formed a large area around it.
The people of Tiandou City kept their distance, peeking and watching the departure ceremony.
Princess Vina led Ye Nanxiao and the other three into the core area of the plaza.
In the core area, high platforms and temporary ceremonial altars have been erected.
Everyone saw that the Heavenly Soul Emperor, His Majesty Emperor Viges, was wearing light blue soul-guided armor, holding a large banner, and standing solemnly on the altar.
The Soul Guidance Armor was hastily manufactured by the Tang Sect and was provided as a favor.
To ensure the safety of Viges's personal expedition, Princess Vina, at the cost of a favor, obtained a top-level weaponry set from Ye Nanxiao that could be sold to the public.
This arsenal set not only includes a large number of Tang Sect charged weapons, soul-guided hidden weapons, and a considerable number of soul-guided shields and disposable defensive soul-guided shields, but also comes with a pair of floating cannons and a mobile interception tower.
It's like the kind of armor that He Caitou wears, which can be disassembled and taken away separately.
As for the floating cannons, those are used by the Tang Clan to make friends.
The group sat quietly in the front row of the royal area.
As soon as Ye Nanxiao sat down, he attracted several gazes.
Among them, Prince Witten and Prince Vinatley looked at each other with intense enthusiasm, while Prince Vicon only showed a hint of curiosity.
This led to a struggle with Princess Vina, with the three most powerful princes sitting separately, each leaving at least one seat unused.
But none of them currently have the courage to vie for the central position that belongs to Princess Vina.
They knew how much the Heavenly Soul Emperor loved Princess Vina.
At the very least, we must wait until the Heavenly Soul Emperor leaves before we can take any action.
Princess Vina didn't even glance at her three nominal brothers; it would be a waste of her energy to look at them.
She raised her hand, and Long Aotian stood up. The two of them then unfurled a banner.
"The Great Emperor marches forth! Unstoppable! Conquering the sun and moon! Long live the Emperor!"
She didn't seem like a princess, but rather like a devoted daughter who cheered on her father and believed in him.
Viges stood on the altar, constantly turning his body to face his people, and naturally saw his daughter's actions.
He smiled; his daughter was still the best. However, he didn't respond much, only shaking the flagpole in his hand.
Viges's lieutenant, a trusted confidant, immediately commanded the elite Heavenly Soul warriors gathered in Heavenly Dou Square to roar in anger.
"The Emperor goes to war! Invincible! Conquering the sun and moon! Long live the Emperor!"
His imposing presence drew cheers and shouts from the surrounding crowd.
The three princes of Vitern listened to the cheers that seemed like waves around them, their faces darkening. They tried to control their expressions and maintain their smiles.
The image of the prince in the hearts of the people is also very important.
They watched Viges accept the cheers, their emotions a complex mix.
It's not that they wouldn't praise their father like Princess Vina, but if they did, Emperor Tianhun wouldn't be emotionally affected much, and the royal family would even criticize their disrespectful behavior.
But Princess Vina is different. Viges is willing to argue with the old men of the royal family for her sake, saying he would never let his daughter suffer any injustice.
This is something they can't understand. They are all the emperor's sons, and Witten is even the legitimate son, who should be the crown prince, but Vijays doesn't appoint a crown prince.
For the royal family, princes are clearly more important than princesses, and princesses are usually used for political marriages. So why does Princess Vina receive such favor?
It should be noted that Princess Vina's mother was just an ordinary noblewoman, and not even her legitimate daughter.
The three princes quickly gathered their thoughts.
Regardless of why Princess Vina is favored, they are now locked in a power struggle and there's no turning back.
Princess Vina had Long Aotian hold up the banner and obediently sat back down in her seat.
In fact, the three of them, including Vitern, did not know that Princess Vina's real mother was the daughter of an elder of the Body Sect, and that Princess Vina's martial soul was the rarest among Body Martial Souls: the Brain.
This martial soul, with its limitless potential, is the real reason why Viges dotes on Princess Vina and grooms her as his successor.
Every empire's royal family has a bloodline that inherits a martial spirit.
The Star Luo Empire's royal martial soul is the Star Crown, the Dou Ling Empire's royal martial soul is the Swan, while the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal martial soul is either the Snow Lotus or the Snow Swan.
It is somewhat similar to the royal martial spirit of the Douling Empire.
After all, the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Fighting Spirit Empire were originally the same empire.
However, each Heavenly Soul Emperor has preserved an ancestral precept that has been passed down through generations.
Defeated the Douling Empire and reclaimed its divided territories.
Therefore, the Heavenly Soul Royal Family is stronger than the Fighting Spirit Royal Family in every aspect.
The birth of Princess Vina gave Emperor Tianhun hope that they could surpass the Douling Royal Family in one aspect.
So he found the Poison Immortal, got Vina to join the Body Sect, and arranged a marriage between her and the sect's young master.
Fortunately, neither child objected to the engagement, and they had a good relationship, just like any other couple.
He continued to pave the way for Vina, believing that with the help of the poison and Vina's master, she could be kept safe.
He secretly left behind a considerable amount of the empire's power.
Now, Vina is just two steps away from reaching the summit.
The latest novel is first published here!
One option is for him to abdicate or die in battle, with Vina inheriting the throne.
Secondly, there were the three princes who were supported by aristocratic families.
Even for herself, eliminating the forces behind the three princes in one fell swoop would come at a considerable cost. But if a real clash were to occur, it would severely damage the empire, and Vina would face a situation where, after ascending the throne, she would be surrounded by menacing forces and the empire would be filled with unease.
This won't do. When Viges had to let Vina take over the Heavenly Soul Empire, the empire was still a warship. Even if some parts were damaged, it wouldn't be a big deal.
So he devised a plan, allowing the three princes to continue contacting aristocratic families, sending them a signal that they had a chance to seize the throne.
They would then secretly fuel the flames and plant spies within.
By creating a commotion, Vina will have a legitimate opportunity to attract outside help.
Vijay also included this foreign aid in his calculations: the Tang Clan.
To express his apology for having tricked the Tang Sect, he chose to give the Tang Sect the green light for all its business projects in the Heavenly Soul Empire and vouch for them with his own reputation.
He believed that the Tang Sect would not refuse to pay a price in exchange for the business of the entire Heavenly Soul Empire.
Then, after he goes to war, the spies will secretly begin to act, working with Vina from the inside. Those imperial parasites who have jumped out have already been put on the purge list.
Even if she dies on the border, Vina will be able to take over a relatively complete empire.
As for the three princes who were used as bait...
It was their honor to give their lives for the royal family and the empire.
As long as the empire can continue and the Heavenly Soul Royal Family can continue to control the Heavenly Soul Empire, it will all be worthwhile.
This was the final calculation of Viges, the emperor known as the ruler who maintained the status quo.
Of course, it would be best if he could survive.
Vijays put aside his thoughts and touched the soul-guided armor on his body. Feeling the thick protection, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He had really grown up with his daughter.
If I weren't born into an imperial family, I would really like to watch my little darling grow up step by step, do my best to choose a good family for her, or at least vet her, and then wait for some time before helping my daughter take care of her grandchildren as I grow old.
"Elite warriors of the Heavenly Soul Empire! Raise your right hands! Swear an oath to me, to the Empire!"
"We will surely drive out the invading enemy! We will protect the Empire!"
"Let the flower of heavenly soul on our chests shine brightly along the border!"
Tens of thousands of elite soldiers from the Heavenly Soul Empire raised their right hands and roared furiously.
Viges waved the flag, his face flushed. He too would be a horse-riding emperor, a king who would go to the battlefield for the empire!
The emperor waved flags for his soldiers, who swore allegiance to the emperor and the empire, and were willing to give their lives for it.
"Set off!!!"
The large and imposing procession gradually walked out of Tiandou City at a moderate pace.
Princess Vina jumped off the stands and headed towards the running Vijas.
"Father! On this journey to the border, military fortune will surely prevail!"
She hugged her father tightly.
This is not a princess and an emperor, but a daughter and a father.
Princess Vina, who had been smiling the whole time, finally had tears welling up in her eyes at this moment.
In fact, she knew everything.
But this is her father, and he loves her; that's enough.
Vijay hugged his daughter, then looked at the Zongfu people in the audience with a chilling gaze.
The warning was clear: even if your daughter oversteps the bounds of propriety, if you dare to punish her, you'll be doomed.
The clan elders of the clan exchanged glances, but ultimately lowered their heads under the emperor's gaze.
