Tan Taixin couldn't help but say, "Hey, it's not because this big prince likes war too much. He has to go out to fight every ten years. Although he has earned military merits and became famous in the royal court, this is the life of many ordinary soldiers!"

"Those soldiers, who have no parents and relatives? What can they do if they die and give some spirit stones? If their son is gone and their husband is dead, what's the use of no more spirit stones? In the end, they all die in loneliness!"

"Hey, we are all ordinary people. We don't want to fight, we just want to live a few days of stable life. If the eldest prince becomes king and launches a few more large-scale wars, if Qingcheng is also involved, the good days of us ordinary people will come to an end."

An old cultivator on the side sighed when he heard this, "You don't know, old man, I came from the county town under the jurisdiction of the eldest prince with the only remaining grandson. Two of the men in our place must go to join the army and fight with the demons. In the end, few of them can come back. My grandson has not been heard from yet. Oh, I'm afraid it's the burial beast that has been buried!"

Speaking of this, the old cultivator looked sad, and the rest of the people also started to talk in a low voice. None of these people from the bottom supported the eldest prince.

Xue Peng fell into deep thought when he heard this. Although he entered the royal court this time, although he wanted to have a place in the royal court to help Lu Shi, part of the reason was to lead the army of the kingdom, just like the folk songs, to cut off demons and protect my royal court.

But today, listening to Dan Taixin’s heartfelt words with everyone, it aroused his deep thoughts. He had always thought about protecting my royal court, but for the first time today, he thought about what the royal court was? Are they those cities made of bricks and tiles that were built with no life? Or the princes and grandsons who ruled the entire royal court?

No, none of them.

At this moment, in Xue Peng's view, the so-called royal court is the tens of millions of people.

Every war against demons should be initiated with the main purpose of protecting the people, and should not be initiated by some people for their own achievements.

At this moment, Xue Peng couldn't help but think of Zhu Zi's unyielding policy in his mind that day. He had a little more understanding of the current situation of the Wang Ting.

Finally, I waited for a long time until ten minutes in the evening, when the city gate was about to close, I arrived at the door.

It takes a large amount of spiritual stones to enter the royal capital. Dan Tai Xin and others did not have the immortal name, so they spent thirty low-grade spiritual stones.

Xue Peng walked forward, and a soldier glanced at Xue Peng and said without hesitation, "Thirty low-grade spirit stones."

Xue Peng glanced at the soldier and said lightly, "I'm here to participate in the palace examination, do you also need to hand over the spirit stone?"

When the soldier heard this, his eyes suddenly widened and said in a lost voice, "What? Are you a layperson?"

Xue Peng didn't say much, and lit up his exam paper. The soldier glanced at him, his face changed again, and he hurriedly returned it to Xue Peng with respect, "It turns out that he is Mr. Xue Peng who won three yuan in a row. Why are you waiting for the doorway?"

Xue Peng looked at the soldier and said lightly, "The door is the door, the door is for people to walk on, so what's the difference between the top and bottom?"

"Yes, yes, what the adults taught is that the villain has written down. sir, let the villain take you to your receptionist."

Xue Peng knew about it before coming to the royal city, so one of the candidates who participated in the final palace examination would be responsible for receiving the reception.

"Wait a minute!" Xue Peng bowed to Dan Tai Xin and said with a smile, "Along the way, Xue Peng thanked Brother Dan Tai for taking care of him."

"Xue Peng?" Dan Tai Xin and others stared at Xue Peng with wide eyes, "You are the Xue Peng who won three consecutive years?"

"That's right, Brother Dan Tai has never asked, so I didn't explain it either. Please don't be surprised by Brother Dan Tai."

Dan Tai Xin looked surprised. He didn't dare to think about it. The humble and polite young man walking with them was actually Xue Peng, who was famous for three chapters of Dharma outside Qingcheng, which allowed every ordinary person to practice.

After hearing Xue Peng's words, Dan Tai Xin hurriedly said, "I dare not take it, I dare not take it. It is a great honor to be able to walk with the adults!"

Dan Tai Xin and others' attitudes suddenly became very nervous. Seeing this, Xue Peng exchanged greetings for a few words, and then said nothing more with the soldier walking to the second doorway for the left.

Seeing Xue Peng walking directly to the second door opening, a group of people surrounded Dan Tai Xin and curiously said, "Hey, brother, what's going on? Who is that young man? Why did he run to the door opening that is only for officials to walk on?"

Dan Tai Xin said proudly, "He is the youngest talent in our Qingcheng generation, Xue Peng, who won three consecutive years."

"Xue Peng? Aren't the younger generation of Qingcheng Mei Yingxue, Chu Baoliang and others? I have never heard of Xue Peng!"

"You are not from Qingcheng, of course you don't know. Look, it won't take long, everyone in the royal court will know Xue Peng's name."

While everyone was talking, Xue Peng had already arrived in front of the second doorway. When the soldier talked to one of the guards, the guard quickly greeted Xue Peng respectfully, and then took Xue Peng to the front of a female cultivator.

Xue Peng looked at the female cultivator who was about twenty years old, had a delicate face and a tall figure. Her pair of heroic eyebrows were inserted into her temples and a blue dress was worn on her body, and she had a cold temperament.

After hearing the guard's words, the female cultivator raised her eyebrows and looked at Xue Peng. She scraped Xue Peng from top to bottom with a knife-like gaze. A crisp sound rang out, "Report the documents, test the cards."

Xue Peng heard this and handed over the document and the exam card. The woman checked and then gave it to Xue Peng, "Come with me."

After saying that, the woman turned around and left, Xue Peng followed her, and the woman said lightly, "From today, until the end of the palace examination, you will temporarily stay in the tribute courtyard."

"The people living in the Gongyuan are all cultivators who participate in the palace examination. Some people may not be very friendly, but fighting is prohibited in the Gongyuan. Please remember this."

Xue Peng nodded and smiled when he heard this, "Okay!"

"Do you have anything else to ask?"

"No!"

The woman suddenly stopped hearing this, turned around and looked at Xue Peng again, and said, "You don't want to know, what am I talking about unfriendliness? Perhaps, this is very important to you."

Xue Peng did not answer positively, but just smiled, "Along the way, most of the people I met are very unfriendly to me, but I still came here, so it doesn't matter if others are not friendly to my friends."
