The Xingji Empire still maintains the king system, but the king no longer has the ability to rule the world.
As the family power of the Five Kingdoms Pillars grew, the influence of the royal family of the Xingji Empire began to decline.
In name, the leader of the royal family is still the emperor of the Xingji Empire. In fact, he is just the co-leader of these big family forces.
Although today's royal family still maintains considerable strength, overall it can still suppress the Five Kingdoms Pillars.
However, due to constant internal fighting within the royal family, some members of the royal family are still full of desire for the throne that exists in name only.
Such internal strife accelerated the decline of the royal family and gave the Five Kingdoms Pillars more opportunities to seize power.
The power of the empire has long been dispersed in the hands of civil servants and military attachés. If the royal family still wants to continue their rule, they must go into battle and compete with the Five Pillars for these resources.
However, it is obvious that the royal family, suffering from internal and external troubles, has begun to struggle beyond its capabilities.
There are also many people in the Wuguozhu family who wish for the royal family to be destroyed as soon as possible. After all, one more super family means one more opponent to share resources, and resources are never enough.
At least among the Five Pillars, there are at least three families who do not want the royal family to continue to exist, and even want to kill the royal family tit for tat.
Because of this, the current situation of the members of the royal family is very delicate. Not only do they not have a superior status, but they are all in danger because of the special competitive atmosphere.
The danger comes not only from external competition, but also from internal strife.
Being friends with members of the royal family is not only not an honorable thing, but may also involve more risks.
It has to be said that Bai Qi's arrangement was somewhat selfish.
But Qin Xiao doesn't care about this!
The reason is simple, he and Ying Xin were comrades in arms!
Before his rebirth, when he served in the Northern Army, Qin Xiao fought side by side with Yingxin for three years.
At that time, Ying Xin was already a strong player in the Cloud Star Realm. Qin Xiao always stayed at the fifth level of the Broken Star Realm because the Nirvana Technique had not been completed at that time.
But he was also capable of fighting against the strong ones in the Yunxing Realm, so he was incorporated into the special operations force and became comrades with Yingxin.
At that time, Ying Xin used the pseudonym Guan Shanyue. It was not until he returned to the imperial capital to compete for the throne that Qin Xiao knew that he had fought with a prince.
Now that his old comrade appeared again, how could Qin Xiao not be happy? His mood swing just now was due to surprise, not other reasons.
Just thinking about the passage of time, what happened before rebirth does not exist to Ying Xin.
Everything had to be started over, and Qin Xiao quickly adjusted his mentality.
The person in front of me is not Ying Xin, he is just a poor student named Guan Shanyue.
"Why are you staring at me? Do you really know me?" Guan Shanyue asked curiously.
"What's your strength now?" Qin Xiao asked.
"It's only the fifth level of Broken Star Realm, not worth mentioning." Guan Shanyue said modestly.
"As for the actual combat effectiveness, the gap between the fifth level is huge." Qin Xiao asked relentlessly.
Guan Shanyue stared at Qin Xiao for a while, and after a long time said a numerical value: "99,000 knots."
It seemed that in order to convince Qin Xiao, he let go of the star power fluctuations he had been restraining after saying this.
Hearing this value, Qin Xiao was not shocked at all, but instead sighed secretly in his heart.
Guan Shanyue was not a person obsessed with martial arts. He focused more on battlefield command and power struggles.
But even so, he still achieved good results in martial arts.
If he concentrates on practicing, he will definitely become a super powerful person.
It's a pity that he has too many things on his shoulders, and it is impossible for him to focus on how to improve his combat power like Qin Xiao and Huyange.
If Qin Xiao calculated correctly, Guan Shanyue should be 28 years old this year. He is 10 years older than Qin Xiao and 3 years younger than Bai Qi.
If Guan Shanyue had really been practicing hard, he should have advanced to the Cloud Star Realm early by now.
"What is your strength now?" Guan Shanyue regained control of his aura and asked Qin Xiao's cultivation level.
Qin Xiao smiled bitterly, spread his hands and said, "That's it, a little over 9,000 knots, it's just a fraction of yours."
"It's already very powerful. We just advanced to the fifth level of the Connected Star Realm half a year ago, right? Now we are about to break through to the Broken Star Realm." Guan Shanyue said with a smile.
"You actually know about me?" Qin Xiao was a little surprised.
"I'm not sure what Bai Qi told you, but my idea is to come over and be your partner, and we'll complete the hunting plan together."
"Since we are partners, of course I have to study your information and investigate you in advance. Do you mind this?"
Guan Shanyue spoke very frankly, saying everything that should be said and shouldn't be said.
This is one of his special skills, sincerity.
In addition to having to conceal her identity, Guan Shanyue is willing to share many things with those around her.
This was Guan Shanyue's style of doing things when he was fighting on the northern battlefield.
Qin Xiao basically had no defense against Guan Shanyue. As long as Guan Shanyue did not undergo genetic mutation and completely turned into a monster, he was sure that he was a trustworthy partner.
When Qin Xiao introduced Guan Shanyue to Huyange and others, Haishan and Haiyue brothers and sisters immediately turned into two brainless men and warmly welcomed them to join the team as reinforcements.
Zhao Ruling was somewhat confused. She came from a big family and had seen many strong people. She would not be mindlessly happy just because a strong person from Broken Star Realm joined her.
What she was more curious about was why Qin Xiao could accept an outsider so easily. Qin Xiao's completely unguarded look towards Guan Shanyue made her confused.
But whether it was the excitement of brother and sister Haishan Haiyue or Zhao Ruling's doubts, they were not as direct as Huyange's reaction.
I saw this guy walking up with a stiff look, and his posture was that he was ready to fight.
Qin Xiao didn't notice that Hu Yange had already arrived in front of Guan Shanyue. Before Qin Xiao could stop him, he had already said the "famous saying".
"Huyange, please enlighten me."
Guan Shanyue didn't understand Huyange, so she thought she had offended him, and looked at Qin Xiao as if asking for help.
"Hit him, beat him hard, and then let this kid find someone to teach him every day! I just can't beat him. If I could beat him, I would have beaten him long ago!"
Qin Xiao was really angry and said angrily from the side.
Guan Shanyue carefully examined Huyange and said with a smile: "I promise you that after you advance to the Broken Star Realm, I will spar with you as soon as possible. How about it?"
Although these words were said with a smile, they were full of sincerity. Huyange was instantly fond of Guan Shanyue and nodded solemnly.
Qin Xiao stood aside and watched with a smile. His old comrade was really born to be a leader. He could tell what Huyange needed with just one glance.
In fact, what Huyange needs is just recognition. He hopes that others can recognize his dedication to martial arts, nothing more.
The addition of Guan Shanyue has greatly improved the strength of Qin Xiao's small team.
But in terms of high-end combat power, Guan Shanyue perfectly made up for their current difficulty in dealing with powerful enemies.
In addition, what others can't see yet is that Guan Shanyue is not only powerful in combat, but he is also an excellent commander.
It's not even an exaggeration to describe him as a genius commander!
For Qin Xiao, it is not difficult to lead a standard-organized corps.
But what he hopes more now is to spend time on training and learning. Improving his personal combat power is his ultimate goal.
Qin Xiao was originally worried about how to lead the first regiment in the hunting base. He could not accept it if a lot of time was wasted.
But now that Guan Shanyue is here, all problems will be solved.
He is really the great savior of the people. Hey, Bazahai!
Just when Qin Xiao was immersed in the joy of "passing the blame" to Guan Shanyue and couldn't extricate himself, Guan Shanyue suddenly turned to look at him.
Qin Xiao asked with some guilt: "What are you looking at?" 33
"Suddenly I felt a sense of danger, but I didn't know why." Guan Shanyue said doubtfully.
Qin Xiao felt even more guilty, whistling and looking out the window: "Oh, the weather is really nice today."
Everyone looked out the window suspiciously. At this moment, there was a strong wind and heavy rain outside...
Haishan on the side murmured to himself: "I always feel that these words sound so familiar..."
After confirming that no enemy really appeared, Guan Shanyue put away her sensitive emotions and said, "Since the weather is nice, let's go out for a walk."
What Qin Xiao didn't expect was that Guan Shanyue brought him out not to watch the rainy scene, but to select talents.
For safety reasons, Qin Xiao took Huyange with him and asked Zhao Ruling to take Haishan and Haiyue back to the Zhao family's mechanical building.
As soon as the hunting plan came out, Han Qi's investigation in Polu Academy instantly turned into a joke.
Although the investigation is still continuing, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is just Han Qi's persistence to save face.
Now the entire Elan planet is in full swing to select talents for the hunting plan, and no one cares about Di Luan's death anymore.
After all, the hunting plan was a powerful conspiracy carried out by Sun Dianchen. Everyone knew that the hunting plan would be followed by a purge of the Xiqiang planet.
If Xiqiang Xing still wants to ask for an explanation at this time, maybe this explanation will become another "explanation".
When he first heard that Guan Shanyue was going to select talents, Qin Xiao subconsciously thought of the military department.
Based on the relationship between him and Bai Qi, even if his identity is not exposed, it is not difficult to borrow some people from the military department.
In fact, if you think about it, you will know that no matter how righteous Sun Dianchen and others announce to the outside world, it is impossible for the hunting plan to really involve no one from the military department.
Just like Guan Shanyue, he is a student in name, but his status as a student is so strong that it has almost turned into a sea...
But what Qin Xiao once again didn't expect was that Guan Shanyue didn't take him to the military headquarters, but to a place he was extremely familiar with.
Qingpu University.
Some people died, but not completely...
