The capital of Heaven is located in the East Continent and the West Pole, while the Wei Kingdom is in the East Continent and the East Pole. The two places are quite far apart. Even though Ling Duanshang's cultivation has greatly increased now, he spent a full ten years flying at full speed. It took a few days to cross Qingguo and reach the border of Weiguo. He had set out from here with Juxian Jade in his hands and rushed to Juxian Town to join Juxian to recruit disciples. He had gone through many hardships along the way and experienced life and death several times. Seeing this small border town in front of him, Ling Duanshang couldn't help but sigh.
According to the edict, Ling Tiancheng¡¯s beheading was still in April, which was still two months ago. In terms of time, it was quite generous, but Ling Duanshang obviously would not wait until then before rushing to the Tribulation Field. However, he knew well the principle of making decisions before taking action, so naturally he would not rush to Zhaojing in a tired body.
Ling Duanshang flew over the small town, descended to the east of the city, and then transformed into the city again. This small border town is a transit point connecting the Wei Kingdom and the Qing Kingdom. It has many vendors and is quite lively. The vendors from the two countries have made a lot of contributions to the town's tax revenue.
However, when Ling Duanshang was walking on the street, he saw some soldiers wearing armor, and the style of these armors was actually the standard armor of Yanguo soldiers. These soldiers were walking in twos and threes on the street, and their expressions were so domineering and arrogant that they made people hateful. The vendors all gave way to them when they saw this. Even the soldiers dispatched in the city for daily inspections were frightened and avoided looking at these Yanguo soldiers.
Although Ling Duanshang was surprised, he naturally would not conflict with these people. He hid as far away as a pedestrian, and then entered an elegant-looking inn called Jufu Tower.
This Jufulou restaurant is located in the center of this small town, so the business is pretty good. Even though Ling Duanshang came so early, he could only find a table next to the door to sit at. Ling Duanshang ordered a banquet of food and wine. Although he could live without eating grains and not eat the fireworks of the world, for him, ordinary food could still make his index finger tickle. Ling Duanshang could not do it like the senior brothers and elders of Qixian Sect.
The Jufu Tower is crowded with people, so it¡¯s a good place to get news.
One of the purposes of Ling Duanshang¡¯s visit to this small town was to inquire about the recent situation of Weiguo. The second is of course for the food in my hometown. Although this place is a small border town, the chef in this building is quite good at his craftsmanship, but only for a moment. A table of signature dishes was served to Ling Duanshang as if water was flowing. Ling Duanshang will not be stingy with money for delicious food, and what he is transforming into now is a middle-aged businessman with a big belly. He looks a bit like a nouveau riche. Eating the food on this table alone will not cause irritation. Too much attention.
He picked a dish with chopsticks at random. Ling Duanshang dispersed wisps of evil energy and paid attention to the movements of the entire inn.
As expected, within half an hour, Ling Duanshang had already obtained what he wanted to know.
Just a few years ago, loyal generals Ling Ao and Xu Kuang were recalled to Zhaojing by the emperor's golden order. The loyal soldiers stationed at Changyuguan were dispatched to Tiandu, and half a year later, the Yanguo army marched south in large numbers. The Weiguo lost the protection of the loyal soldiers, so Changyuguan naturally failed without attack, and Yanguo marched straight in. , burned, killed, looted and invaded Zhaojing again, but then Zaifu Gou Zihua came forward. Discuss with General Yanguo Zhengnan. In the end, Yanguo was mediated to withdraw his troops, but the northern part of Weiguo's territory, beyond the Huangsha River, was transferred to Yanguo from then on. This small border town is right on the border of the proposed area, but due to its geographical location, it is separated from the mother country by a corner of Xuyuan Mountain. This means that ordinary people of the Wei Kingdom need to return to the Wei Kingdom from this city. Passing through the boundary of Yanguo. You also need to pay high tolls. This is why there are so many arrogant Yanguo soldiers in this small town.
He grew up in the northern part of Weiguo since he was a child. Although Ling Duanshang's feelings for Weiguo were not as unforgettable as Ling Tiancheng's, the three generations of the Ling family had put in a lot of effort in the northern part of Weiguo. Ling Duanshang's father and second uncle were even buried in Changyu Pass. Now that the land was ceded, Ling Duanshang was extremely angry and wanted to kill Gou Zihua, Xie Chuan and others.
And at this moment, Ling Duanshang heard another piece of news, but it was from a businessman who had just come from Xuyuan Shandong.
Ling Duanshang¡¯s eyes immediately lit up, and he had a plan in mind. It turned out that an imperial envoy who had long since retired and returned to his hometown wanted to go to Zhaojing to ask Emperor Wenhua for help. Although everyone in the country knew that the affairs of the Wei Kingdom had long been controlled by the current prime minister, this old man wanted to go to Zhaojing. The imperial envoy was just looking for death, and even reduced the matter to a joke after tea. However, there are still some "naive" people who hold out hope that the people of the country will join forces to fight, and the loyal soldiers who are far away from home will return to conquer the country. The wolf drove out of Changyu Pass. And this businessman is obviously one of those naive people in the back.
This old imperial envoy Ling Duanshang also knew his name. He was an upright and outspoken person, and he was Ling Tiancheng's guest at the time. After thinking for a moment, Ling Duanshang immediately picked up a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a burst of rapid and neat footsteps outside Jufu Tower.
Ling Duanshang didn¡¯t even raise his head, and was minding his own food. He didn¡¯t need to look to know that it was a centurion of Yi Yanguo leading a group of soldiers towards Jufulou. There were twenty-one people in total.
Seeing such a posture, the faces of all the guests in the Jufu Tower changed drastically, and they all stood up in panic and looked at the Yanguo soldiers.
"It's Yan Bing!" "What are they here for?" "I heard that a general from Yan State came here recently" "Could he be attacking Qing State?"
The centurion raised his eyebrows and shouted sternly: "Everyone, get out of here! Our Lord Warlord is coming here!"
In an instant, all the guests fell silent and immediately ran out of the Jufu Tower in panic. The shopkeeper and all the waiters were also trembling and as silent as cicadas, losing their bearings for a moment.
The centurion's eyes bulged with white eyes and black eyes. How many people in this restaurant dared not to leave? However, this person is not stupid, but he also knows that if he does not leave, he must be talented. Since the Northern Territory of Weiguo was classified as the territory of Yanguo, many people from the Weiguo arena have taken action against the Yan army. These people in front of me obviously belong to the world of martial arts.
The centurion seemed to have been prepared. He stepped back, holding his sword with one hand and pointing with the other hand, and shouted: "Arrest these unruly people! If there is resistance shoot without mercy!" After that, the two men Ten soldiers immediately drew their swords and rushed into the gate in a vicious manner.
There were three people present. Two of them sat together and the other sat alone. This person was naturally Ling Duanshang. However, what surprised Ling Duanshang was that the businessman who just said that the old imperial envoy would come to Beijing to file a petition actually stayed. This businessman is already middle-aged. Although there is a hint of timidity and worry on his face, his eyes burst out with compelling perseverance.
The corner of Ling Duanshang's mouth curled up. It was clear that this man stayed because of the strong breath in his chest. However, the man next to him was obviously not an ordinary person. He sat upright and seemed to be loose and moved casually. In fact, he was already A single move can affect the whole body. Once the danger is realized, a violent blow will inevitably be launched.
Ling Duanshang was the only one present who was actually tasting wine and eating vegetables, because with his current physical body, even if he stretched his neck and let these people chop him with their axes, it would not be possible to hurt him at all.
"You Yanguo jackals, this is the land of our Weiguo, why do you drive me away?" At this moment, the businessman suddenly stood up, glared at the centurion and shouted.
Unexpectedly, the latter seemed to have been used to it for a long time. He just sneered disdainfully and drew out the sword from his waist with a swipe. This move actually caused strong winds to rise all around. This person was clearly a master!
Ling Duanshang didn¡¯t squint his eyes, but he was a little surprised. It was a bit strange that this soldier, who was no more than a centurion, had the strength of the late Tianwu realm.
The twenty soldiers walked to the table where the businessman was sitting, and one of them shouted: "I'll capture you without mercy! Otherwise, I'll die!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the man next to the businessman took action first. He threw the bamboo chopsticks he was holding in his hand and inserted it into the throat of the soldier who was speaking. The huge force made the chopsticks It came from the back of his head, and the soldier died tragically on the spot.
The frozen atmosphere suddenly exploded, and a group of soldiers immediately drew their swords and slashed at the man.
These soldiers can be regarded as elite soldiers, and they are all in the middle and late stages of the human martial arts realm. However, this man's strength is obviously far beyond them. In a few moves, three of the nineteen people were dead.
"Get out of the way!" A loud shout suddenly came, and then a figure jumped over the heads of the soldiers and flew down. A strong wind hit, and a long sword was slashed with force. The target was clearly That middle-aged businessman.
The young man raised his eyebrows and suddenly slapped the corner of the square table. The heavy square table immediately flipped over and hit the centurion.
With one strike of the sword, the square table shattered, revealing the centurion's ferocious face. However, this evil face soon turned into horror and disbelief, because a thin thorn-like weapon had penetrated through the wood at some point. Stabbed into the back of his head. This blow was fatal. The centurion of Yanguo and a majestic Tianwu Realm warrior could only roll his eyes and fell to the ground, and red and white things immediately flowed out of the small hole.
Ling Duanshang's hand that was raising the glass to drink suddenly froze, but he drank the wine in one gulp without raising his eyes.
As soon as the centurion died, the soldiers immediately retreated without their leader. However, these people really lived up to their reputation as wolves. Even though several of their own people died tragically, the fierce look in the eyes of these soldiers did not diminish at all.
However, at this moment, there was another rapid sound of horse hoofbeats outside the Jufu Tower, followed by a sharp roar that shook the sky. A burly figure suddenly appeared at the door of the building, making the entire Jufu Tower lobby go dark. .
As soon as this person appeared, the face of the man who was guarding the middle-aged businessman changed, and he shouted in a low voice: "Zhang Tielang!" The voice was crisp and clear.?Not a sound a man could make.
Ling Duanshang¡¯s ears were so strong, this sound sounded like thunder, and his eyes immediately went blank, and his face became a little unnatural To be continued. .
