In the ancestral land, in front of the main hall, the spirit-watching old man greeted him excitedly, looking at the group of people in front of him.

The first person is the chief steward of the palace.

"Eunuch Tan, is the sage going to send someone to guard the ancestral land?"

The old man was very excited.

Seeing the group of people in front of him, he couldn't help but ask.

These people are from the palace.

Moreover, the old **** at the head is still the personal **** next to the emperor of the Xia Dynasty, and is the general manager of the big house.

Hearing that, Eunuch Tan shook his back slightly, and said embarrassedly, "The sage said, you guard your ancestral land, you have worked hard, and you will be rewarded."

"You still need to stay with you for a few more years."

Eunuch Tan's voice was sharp, and the old man's face was disappointed.

It was these words again, and he sighed in his heart, hoping that sending someone from the palace to guard it would not work.

But the seal of the forbidden area in the back mountain was loosened, and it became more and more unstable, and he was already powerless.

Moreover, the previous injury is not yet healed. Because of his old age and withered blood, he already has a premonition that his time is running out.

If no one comes to replace the seal of the ancestral land, it may really collapse.

"Then why is Eunuch Tan here?"

Although the old man was disappointed, he still asked curiously.

Since you didn't bring someone to take over to guard the ancestral land, what are you doing here?

Eunuch Tan adjusted his voice and whispered in a shrill voice: "The miscellaneous family is here, on the order of the Holy Master, to convey the Holy Master's decree to His Highness the Ninth Highness."

"Looking for His Highness the Ninth Highness?"

It turned out to be looking for His Royal Highness Ninth Prince Xia Chen.

"The matter in the palace has nothing to do with me. The ninth prince should have gone to the stream to fetch water. You want to find him yourself."

After saying that, the old man on the watch waved his hand and turned to leave.

He was very disappointed in his heart, and he was extremely depressed when he didn't wait for a master from the royal family to take over the ancestral land.

"Cough cough..." Walking along, the old man in the spirit suddenly coughed a few times.

His face was flushed, and he was helpless when he saw that the palm of his hand coughed up a trace of blood.

"There is not much time, and there is no way to recover."

"If the sealed Great Demon breaks the seal, the world will be wiped out."

The old man's weathered face was full of helplessness, and his hunched back staggered away step by step.

He was about to run out of fuel and couldn't stand it any longer.

But there is still no one in the palace to guard the seal, how can he be a little sad and disappointed, can't it be enough to send a few experts to guard it?

........

On the other side, Eunuch Tan and others hurried to the side of the stream, and they saw Xia Chen who was fetching water.

"Your Highness Ninth."

Eunuch Tan stepped forward immediately and shouted softly.

Xia Chen, who was about to carry water back, looked at the group of people in front of him and was surprised. It turned out to be a group of experts from the palace.

The head of this is the head of the internal affairs of the Great Xia Dynasty, Eunuch Tan, whose strength is unfathomable and a great master.

Moreover, he is also a top great master, a person who has cultivated to the perfection of the great master.

There were three eunuchs and two palace maids next to them, looking extremely strange, how did they run out with the two palace maids?

"I am no longer your ninth highness, you have found the wrong person."

Xia Chen just glanced at it, and after replying, he stirred up the water and walked past several people.

This made Tan Gonggong's face a little stiff, and his heart was secretly angry, but thinking of the saint's explanation, he had to bite the bullet and catch up.

"His Royal Highness, the Holy One hopes day and night that His Highness can return to the palace as soon as possible."

Tan Gonggong said sharply and softly.

Xia Chen didn't say a word, walked slowly with the water, and even stopped from time to time to rest his feet, wiping the sweat on his forehead.

In fact, he didn't sweat at all, he just pretended it. After all, there was a **** with a great master in the perfect state beside him. If he didn't pretend, he would definitely be aware of the problem.

Can you believe that an ordinary person, carrying water and walking such a long mountain road, does not sweat, or even blushed and breathless?

"His Royal Highness, don't pick it up, the Holy One wants to call you back to the palace."

While resting, Eunuch Tan came up again and persuaded in a low voice.

Xia Chen replied lightly, "I'm not the Ninth Highness, let's go."

"His Royal Highness..." Eunuch Tan was so depressed.

But seeing Xia Chen continue to carry water, he can only follow.

The three eunuchs and two palace maids in the back were all walking fast, but they were not ordinary people.

Xia Chen was secretly amusing, except for Eunuch Tan, the other three eunuchs were not ordinary people, they had first-class cultivation.

Even the two palace maids had second-rate cultivation, which made Xia Chen laugh.

What do you mean by bringing three first-rate eunuchs and two second-rate palace maids?

He also invited me back to the palace, saying that it is possible that you want to kill me.

Whoa!

In the kitchen, Xia Chen poured the water into the water tank, and it was just full. The task was completed today.

"His Royal Highness, the Holy Master sent the old slave to come to convey a hand letter, specially calling you back to the palace."

Seeing that Xia Chen was done, Eunuch Tan stepped up immediately and cut to the chase.

"Hand decree?" Xia Chen glanced at him, and sure enough, he was holding a golden scroll in his hand.

But Xia Chenli ignored it and said, "I've said it all, I'm not your ninth highness, you go back."

"I'm just an ordinary handyman."

After speaking, Xia Chen turned around and left, ignoring the worsening expressions of Eunuch Tan and others.

This is really infuriating, to dare to ignore the Sage's hand or even the decree, it is simply arrogant.

But there is no way, no matter how Xia Chen is the ninth prince, even if he is the chief **** next to the emperor, he must have basic respect.

"His Royal Highness, don't embarrass the old slave, go back with the old slave."

Eunuch Tan took a deep breath and continued to catch up to persuade him.

He said, "His Royal Highness, if you insist on not going back, the old slave will have to force you back to the palace to return to life."

Xia Chen stopped, turned around, and looked at Eunuch Tan in front of him expressionlessly.

This look made Eunuch Tan's heart skip a beat, and there was a hint of fear, and he was stunned.

"Bring it." Xia Chen stretched out his hand.

Eunuch Tan was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, and immediately presented Emperor Xia's hand letter.

In his heart, he wondered, why was he so frightened by Xia Chen's eyes just now, and even instinctively feared?

Could it be that this is the natural majesty of the royal family?

He didn't think much about it, thinking that it was the royal majesty of the royal family.

Xia Chen opened the edict and saw that what was written on it really meant to let him go back to the palace, and the words actually implied that he was going to be made a prince?

"Prince? What a piece of shit..." Xia Chen smiled disdainfully.

"I have read the manual, you can go back."

After reading it, Xia Chen threw it directly to Eunuch Tan, who was confused.

You took it over and read it, why did you throw it back?

"Go back and tell him that I'm used to the life of Xianyun Yehe, and I just want to live and die. Other things have nothing to do with me."

"Whether it's fame, whether it's imperial power, in my eyes, it's just passing by."

Xia Chen said lightly, then turned around and left, leaving Eunuch Tan and others stunned on the spot.

He refused, and he was so straightforward, even a little respectful and grateful, with no trace of excitement, no interest at all.

"This... Father-in-law, do you want to take it back directly?"

A **** asked softly.

Eunuch Tan woke up, his face changed, looking at the emperor's hand in his hand, he was silent for a while.

He looked at Xia Chen's back, unrestrained and unrestrained. He didn't care about the emperor or not at all. Even if the emperor's edict came, he would directly reject it.

"Forget it, go back and recover."

Eunuch Tan suddenly shook his head, sighed, and finally glanced at Xia Chen's back, turned around and led someone away.

He didn't use force, if he really started, Xia Chen couldn't say that he really didn't clean up this group of people, no matter who you are.

Fortunately, they didn't do anything, they just left and returned to the palace to resume their lives.

As for what the royal father in the palace thinks, he doesn't care.
