These eighteen people were all excited when they felt the changes that had taken place in them.They originally thought that their cultivation in this life would probably stop at Jindan, and at most break through to Yuanying.However, now all of them are at the peak of the Yuanying, and they are only half a step away from the condensing sea.In addition, the cultivation qualifications have undergone earth-shaking changes.It can be said that how far they can go in the future, even they dare not estimate.Everyone looked fanatical and bowed heavily to Li Xingruo."
We will swear to follow Your Majesty to the death, do our best, and die!"
At the same time, the eyes they looked at Ye Wuchen were also a little more reverent.This is not the effect of the totemic blood pact, but from their heartfelt worship.They knew that this was not only His Majesty's reward, but also inseparable from Ye Wuchen.Although Ye Wuchen did not hold any official position.However, the civil and military forces of the Great Qi and Manchu dynasties all knew that Ye Wuchen's status and importance were not lower than Li Xingruo.And if it weren't for Ye Wuchen, Li Xingruo would not have sat on the throne.There are even rumors that the two are lovers.Li Xingruo was still in the shock just now at this time, Ye Wuchen reminded her with his eyes, and then she reacted and said: "Everyone, please rise, now that Daqi is in danger, you are in need of your efforts, and you have a long way to go." ”"Yes!"
Eighteen people answered without hesitation.Subsequently, Li Xingruo gave them a special token.The holder of this token, except for the emperor himself, is not ordered by any institution or official position, but only obeys the emperor's orders, and can represent the emperor's will to a certain extent.After dealing with this matter, Ye Wuchen said hello to Li Xingruo and set off on his own, leaving Yan Yun's eighteen horsemen in the royal capital.As for how to arrange them, it depends on Li Xingruo's own decision, Ye Wuchen is low-key, preferring to be alone, and is unwilling to bring so many people to swagger through the market.Li Xingruo asked people to prepare a fast horse for Ye Wuchen.Ye Wuchen rode his horse and galloped all the way, out of the royal capital, and galloped towards the northern border.The northern border is remote and bordered by wild fields to the north.The Savage Lands are the territory of the Barbarians.Those barbarian warriors were naturally burly and powerful.But the wild land is covered by wind and sand all year round, and it is extremely desolate.As a result, the wilderness could not produce enough food, and famine occurred throughout the year.Every time there was a famine, in order to survive, they would choose to attack Daqi.If it hadn't been fought, most of the people would have died in the war, which can be regarded as reducing the population and reducing the pressure on food.If they are lucky enough to capture a city or two, then they will go on a rampage to plunder resources.In the past, it was usually the Great Qi that won a complete victory, directly strangling these barbarian armies outside the city gates.But with the sudden decline in the strength of Great Qi in recent years, coupled with the struggle for imperial power in the royal capital.This year, even the barbarians couldn't resist it, and they were directly broken by the barbarians in ten cities.Hundreds of people have been forced to abandon their homes and flee.At this time, the barbarians were reveling in a frantic victory, burning and looting, celebrating their victory in all sorts of cruel ways.White Crane Castle is a small town next to Araitan Castle.The army of Great Qi is currently stationed in the Barren Rock City for defense.Due to the perfect fortifications of Arayan City, it was difficult to attack the city, so the barbarians were unable to capture Arayan City for a long time.Now, the barbarian army is stationed in the White Crane City.Their main goal is no longer to capture more cities.Instead, they are stationed in the White Crane City to collect resources, food, tools, seeds, and even poultry and livestock.These are the things that are scarce in the Savage Lands.Once they have gathered enough resources, they will return to the wilderness.Because it doesn't mean much more to them to take more cities.Even the ten cities that have been conquered now are somewhat redundant, and their manpower is not enough to support them to take away the resources of the ten cities.They would not be naïve enough to think that they could defend these cities with the power of the Savage Lands.It was a surprise for them to be able to plunder so many resources this time.On Ye Wuchen's side, he rode his horse all the way.Judging from the green smoke emerging from the beast's horns, Li Xingchun seemed to have relaxed his vigilance, and his movement speed became slower.Through the information from the bloodhound, Li Xingchun was hanging around Arayan City at this time.The distance between Ye Wuchen and him was rapidly shrinking.Inside Arashi Rock Castle.On the city wall, a burly man with a resolute face stood on the city wall with a knife in his bearing.This man was the supreme commander of the border guards on the northern border: General Che Nin.At this time, there was a slightly young soldier standing next to Che Ning, it was his deputy general Wu Xingfan, and he said: "General Che, go and rest for a while, you haven't closed your eyes for three days and three nights." ”Che Ning refused: "It's okay, I'm not sleepy yet." ”These days, the barbarians have attacked the city in several waves, and each time their barbarian king China has taken the lead in the charge.The barbarian king is very strange and very young, and it seems that he is the new barbarian king.He looked less than twenty years old, but his cultivation had already reached the peak of the Condensing Sea Realm.Moreover, this person does not know what exercises to cultivate, not only is he extremely powerful, but also his whole body is invulnerable, like a wild beast, fierce and abnormal.It can be said that the barbarians were able to capture so many cities this time, and it had nothing to do with him.In the army on the northern border, there is only one such a master of the Condensing Sea Realm as Che Ning.If he hadn't been here to contend with the young barbarian king, I'm afraid that Barren Rock City would have been breached long ago.Che Ning asked the deputy general Wu Xingfan, "How is it?"
Is there any news from the palace?
”"General Hui, according to the legend of the spirit pigeon, the mysterious master behind the princess helped her defeat the eldest prince, and Lu Fan and General Lu Zheng were all killed by this person.""
And in order to seize the throne, the eldest prince actually sold the general's secret scroll to Da Yan in exchange for Da Yan's assistance, but the three masters sent by Da Yan were also killed by the mysterious master, and now the princess has successfully succeeded to the throne and become the empress of our Daqi."
Che Ning was a little shocked and asked curiously, "What is the background of that mysterious person?"
Why is it so powerful?
”Wu Xingfan shook his head and said, "That person's name is Ye Wuchen, but I don't know anything about him, and it's very mysterious, but it is said that he is very young, in his early twenties. ”Wan Ning thought for a moment and said, "Such a peerless genius can't be a person who is a loose cultivator, there must be a powerful clan or sect behind him, this may be an opportunity for our Great Qi." ”After speaking, Wan Ning sighed."
Why is the general sighing?"
Wu Xingfan asked."
Since it is the princess who succeeds to the throne, presumably there should be a lot of opposition to her in the royal capital, she must be busy dealing with the affairs of the royal capital, there should be no extra effort to take care of us, we can only ask for more blessings."
Wu Xingfan also sighed."
Even if you defend the Barren Rock City, when the barbarians retreat, I am afraid that the ten cities will only be in disarray."
