Jin Qiu closed his eyes and rested his mind, sitting firmly in the carriage. It had been a month since he left Beimang Mansion, and it was the border area leading to Beiyan and Western Qin. That is the border of Western Qin chosen by Jin Qiu.
Thinking of Jin Qiu¡¯s unequivocal choice of this place that day, the strong Master Lu¡¯s look of astonishment flashed across his face, and he knew that he was indeed surprised by this choice. The middle-aged man on the side looked even more confused. He obviously didn't understand why Jin Qiu chose this place. They didn't think that Jin Qiu was unclear about the current boundaries of Beiyan.
Even if they didn¡¯t know it before, how could they not know what they did during those three months? How could there be so much information in the hidden pavilion that it wasn¡¯t clearly introduced?
Among the four borders of Northern Yan, Northern Xinjiang is the most bitter and cold, and the danger is also the most uncertain, because there are all tribal existences, not the existence of the country. There will be no large-scale attacks, but small-scale harassment has never stopped. Yes, and these people come and go like the wind, are fierce and domineering, fearless of death, and extremely difficult to deal with.
?? And *** is bordering Da Jin, with the longest border front and the largest scale, but the strength there is also the highest in Northern Yan.
Dongjiang borders the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, but it is very peaceful, because this border is intersected by the two borders of Dongbohou and Beibohou.
??And Western Xinjiang borders Western Qin, and it is the most intense. Even though the border front is the shortest, the intensity of the conflict is the most intense of all border fronts.
So at that time, Master Lu and others believed that Jin Qiu would definitely choose one between *** or Dongjiang. Although they wanted to send Jin Qiu to the other two borders, after all, he was the winner of the palace master's competition. Even if he could not stay where he was due to extraordinary measures, he still had the right to choose.
Only those who have committed crimes or have major connections will be sent directly to these two harsh and cold places, and will not leave until the expiration of the term. There will be other arrangements, which can be regarded as a two-pronged approach to offset their crimes and contribute to the country. .
After being surprised, although the strong Master Lu recovered, his expression softened a lot, and he lost all the businesslike attitude he had at the beginning. He pleasantly described the situation in Western Qin to Jin Qiu, and then asked Jin Qiu again, where did he really choose?
Having cultivated to this point, how could he easily go back on his word? Jin Qiu ignored the other party's pretentiousness and just affirmed it again.
Then of course there was a grand farewell. Looking at the officials who seemed to be sending off the elation and relief of the plague god, Jin Qiu's lips showed a hint of contempt. At this time, I happened to see the middle-aged man who followed the powerful Master Lu, who also had a strange look on his face. However, this man was the new palace master, coming to take over the position left by Jin Qiu.
"Compared with Jin Qiu's indifference to everything, this person is probably the one who will start the great purge. However, these things will not matter much as he goes away.
¡¡
"My lord, the border of Western Qin has arrived!"
But it was the captain of the escort who escorted Jin Qiu, reporting from outside the carriage.
Speaking of which, this army does exist, and it is quite large, but Jin Qiu has not seen it before. This time, not counting the charioteers and servants, there were two hundred troops accompanying him.
?????????????? Firstly, it is to show the ceremonial and majestic power that the head of a palace should have, and secondly, it is to supplement the lower-level forces on the border of Western Qin. By now, Jin Qiu has finally understood the composition of border forces.
The decisive force is still more than cultivators. Especially if a strong person sits on one side, he can take charge of it alone. With the cooperation of cultivators, he will naturally be in charge. However, some small battles, frequent assaults and counterattacks rely on the lower-level troops. Otherwise, no matter how big or small the issue is, all practitioners and strong men must come forward, which is basically impossible.
Jin Qiu has traveled to this point, so he naturally reports to the West Qin border hub first. The specific arrangements will depend on the specific situation here. The Yanjing hub generally does not agree on detailed rules.
And this border hub is the first pass on the Western Front - Huyue Pass. It is also the important place where the strong are located, the Western Front Headquarters.
When Jin Qiu got out of the car, he saw the Tiger Leaping Pass, towering and isolated, embedded between two mountains, firmly blocking the only relatively large exit. Its situation was dangerous, and the geographical advantage was fully realized. .
Jin Qiu just smiled. The guarding of the important place has not changed much. He thought that if just one or two strong men came, there would be a corresponding response. As long as a strong man does not lead the army and march straight in, the goal will be achieved.
When Jin Qiu and his party arrived, the rules were strict, so naturally someone came to ask. Jin Qiu directly took out the palace master's seal, and then led one-tenth, that is, twenty people into the pass, with someone in front to guide them.
It wasn¡¯t until he entered it that Jin Qiu discovered that it was more like a small city than a checkpoint. Even though it was almost under military control and there were not many residents, the prosperity on the streets was real.
But many soldiers and generals are the main consumers.??, Jin Qiu could see clearly, but they were coming from all directions. They wanted to come here as a place to relax. After all, guarding the border, even if they had money, they had nowhere to spend it. Besides, this dangerous job, naturally, It¡¯s carpe diem.
Jin Qiu and his group of more than 20 people were riding horses here, which attracted attention. You must know that this is the Leap Horse Pass, and there is no corresponding status. Let alone riding horses in the street, just riding horses is a heavy responsibility, not to mention such a huge momentum. .
Everyone speculated who this group of people was.
Although Jin Qiu was running, he could still hear trivial words, but he naturally ignored them and just followed the guide and went straight to the Western Front Command Headquarters.
It is the tallest and largest high-rise building in the center. After placing the rest of the people in a side room to wait, Jin Qiu was told that He Jun, the deputy commander of the Western Front and a ninth-level powerhouse, wanted to see him and go immediately.
Jin Qiu paused for a moment, and then followed him non-stop. Normally, when Jin Qiu first arrived, he would naturally wait here first. Firstly, he needed to adjust himself and ease the continuous running around. Secondly, the upper level of Huyue Pass naturally had to do something. Quite a few, so I might just be free.
But Jin Qiu also judged that He Jun, the ninth-level powerhouse who was about to meet him, must be a vigorous and resolute person, no matter for whatever reason or for no reason.
Therefore, when he saw He Jun, he was calm and intimidating, as if he was a law-abiding person, and his evil-spirited image was in line with his guess.
"sit."
But he said something, and then glanced at the person leading the way. The person hurriedly retreated, but he was extremely afraid of this person.
When there were only two of them, before Jin Qiu could say anything, He Jun spoke first: "Han Qiu, a few months ago, he went to Beimang alone to challenge the master of the seventh-level peak divine cultivator. He defeated him and then took the initiative to choose me. The western border is really formidable. It is people like this that I admire the most. I am very relieved to see you today, looking even younger."
"Only those who have the courage to fight can gain strength. Those who only know how to enjoy, only squander resources, rely on their strength to dominate, indulge in power, and cannot extricate themselves are sad. They will never climb to the highest peak. Hope. Only refining in the blood and fire, wandering between life and death, is the right path."
The words of speakers, he was filled with huge power oppression, and the momentum was almost better than that foot, and Lu Shi, who was coming, was even stronger, but this He Jun did not release any means.
It was just a simple pressure of momentum. From this alone, Jin Qiu could conclude that this person was more than a step ahead of Master Lu, and it was by no means a simple and superior level.
Presumably, this person understood Jin Qiu as someone who was not satisfied with the status quo and wanted to improve himself through cruel blood and fire experience. It was precisely because he was in the same group as him that he decided to summon him.
Jin Qiu had other plans, but since someone had misunderstood him and had a plan to help him, he naturally would not explain, but said: "In front of the ninth-level Chongxu strongman, I am nothing, you are ridiculous. It's just me I really don¡¯t want to waste time in a place like Beimang Mansion. This time I came to the border of Western Qin to break through my own confinement. If I don¡¯t succeed, I will never return to the rear.¡±
"Okay, okay, okay"
He Jun, as a ninth-level powerhouse, can naturally tell whether a person is sincere or not when speaking, and Jin Qiu does have this intention, but his understanding is different.
He Jun became more and more happy, so he asked: "Then where do you want to be guarded?"
The entire western border, except for a few important similar hubs, is guarded by strong men. The remaining secondary defense nodes are guarded by masters among cultivators, called border guards, and their authority is equivalent to that of the master of the rear palace. .
Those who are slightly less important than Huyue Pass are naturally unthinkable to Jin Qiu. They must be strong and cannot be trusted, and they must pass the test and be trustworthy. These conditions are just for Jin Qiu to defeat the Lord of the Divine Cultivating Palace. Those who want to be promoted naturally do not meet any of the conditions.
Other places are his range of choices, and these places are naturally divided into strong and weak ones, as well as different levels of danger.
Jin Qiu made everything clear when he came, and the strong Master Lu also mentioned these situations. Although it was only a few words, they all hit the point.
Jin Qiu said slowly: "Dasanguan."
He Jun's eyes lit up. Although this Dashan Pass was not one of those important checkpoints, its status was no less important. This was because this Dashan Pass was the most prominent pass on the entire western frontier. It had changed hands countless times. Come on, it can be said that this Great Sanguan was the result of repeated battles between Northern Yan and Western Qin, which was the most brutal.
Unless this place is too prominent and far away from the support of other places, it is difficult to form a joint force, otherwise there will be no repeated battles.
And the fighting here is also the most brutal, basically?Every time it changes hands, its guard must fall. But the strong men who rise from here, no matter whether they are enemies or friends, are definitely famous, and must be the most powerful people in the same realm.
If the border front is a place of blood and fire, then this is where the flame temperature is the highest and most intense.
Fire refined the real gold. He could not reborn and reborn, but burned into ashes, and Jin Qiu dared to choose here, and he had a good temper.
But he still asked: "Do you understand what Dashanguan represents?"
Jin Qiu said with certainty: "The place closest to Western Qin!"
