"The fourth level is a watershed in the martial arts. Only when you step into this realm can you truly embark on the path of martial arts practice. After reaching the middle level of the fourth level, every time you break through the realm to practice, the martial artist's true energy will change the martial arts in the body.
The turbid air and filth are forced out."
"The body of a warrior has been strengthened time and time again. It is said that the body has reached the rumored first-level realm, just like the rumored Vajra King in Buddhism."
"Everything is indestructible and nothing can be broken. Even if there is no real energy running, just the physical body can split mountains and rocks, and defeat ten thousand people with one person."
Listening to Wu Tianhu's story, Zhao Kang finally understood the changes in his body, and most of the seven sword wounds had recovered.
These are all the benefits of breaking through the realm this time. Zhao Kang asked with interest: "Senior Wu, has there ever been a first-level strongman in Jingguo? There seems to be a more powerful realm above the first level?"
He thought of those fantasy novels he had read in his previous life. They were so powerful at first, but later on, the beings at that level became cabbage, as numerous as dogs.
Wu Tianhu smiled and took a sip of wine: "How can it be so easy to produce a first-grade strong man? At least according to the records of our Jingguo Wu family, there are only three upper-level second-grade strong men in the entire world."
"Xuanyuan Bubai, the founder of the Xuanhuang Gong you practice, is one of them, and he is also the strongest one."
"According to the record and description of this undefeated madman, this guy was already very close to the legendary indestructible characteristics of the first-level realm."
"It's just that until this guy died, he didn't take this step. There are only a few of them even in the upper level of the second level, let alone the first level."
Zhao Kang sighed with emotion: "That's really rare. There hasn't been a first-grade one in so many years."
Wu Tianhu yawned: "That's natural, but it's hard to say. After all, the records of our Wu family are only those of our four countries in the north. There may be other places where the world is so big."
Zhao Kang was curious: "How big is our Northland? Have you been to other places, Senior Wu?"
"I went there once when I was young."
Wu Tianhu said, the surrounding guards also looked over with interest, and many of them deliberately approached.
After all, not everyone can know this kind of secret, and most people don't even know if there are other countries besides Gan Jing Zhou Qi.
"There is a country called Xia Jin, 3,600 miles away to the west of our country of Jing. These people look weird."
Wu Tianhu recalled: "Most people have heterochromatic eyes."
Zhao Kang's heart skipped a beat when he heard this: "Blonde?"
Damn it, there must be foreigners in this world.
Wu Tianhu shook his head and said: "That's not true. He has black hair like us, but his appearance is different from that of the people from the four northern countries. His eyes are different colors, some blue and some green. But the women there are pretty good, a
She is fair-skinned, beautiful and has long legs.”
"I once went to a certain Hack City in that country and stayed there for a few days. Then I felt it was boring, so I didn't go any further."
Listening to what Wu Tianhu said, Zhao Kang understood that this Xiajin Empire should be like some foreign race like the Huns and Hu Qiang.
If there is a chance, I must go and see it, Zhao Kang secretly thought in his heart.
The sky was completely dark, and the group of them lit torches and continued on their way. They were soon discovered by the scouts sent by the Protector Xu Ning to lurk around.
I heard that Zhao Kang and his party have returned from Qi.
Xu Ning quickly came with his generals to greet him.
After returning to the military camp and dismissing the others, Xu Ning asked with a smile: "Is the journey of the Imperial Army going smoothly?"
"Finally, I have lived up to His Majesty's trust. Everything has been settled." Zhao Kang smiled.
Xu Ning was shocked: "You really asked for three cities and fifteen counties?"
Wu Tianhu said coldly: "That's not all. This guy wants Qi State to pay 25 million taels of silver as compensation."
"Grass!"
Xu Ning couldn't help but cursed, "Qi State can agree to this! Are they stupid?"
Wu Tianhu exclaimed: "This kid is directly asking for someone from Yongzhou, Qi State, in someone else's court. Two five million is nothing compared to a state."
"You really dare to think that." Xu Ning looked at Zhao Kang in shock.
Want someone from a state? Aren't you afraid that others will kill you in Qi State?
You must know that Qi and Zhou are not small countries like Jing and Qian.
There is a saying that Qi Yizhou reaches Qianjing Sanzhou.
"They are all normal means of negotiating business. If he really gave me a state, I would not dare to ask for it."
Zhao Kang laughed.
"It's incredible."
Xu Ning sighed, feeling equally excited. After all, there were three cities and fifteen counties plus 25 million taels of silver.
These all belong to Jingguo, and as the protector of Jingguo, he is now very happy.
Zhao Kang said softly: "Xu Guogong, in a few days the people of the three cities and fifteen counties of Qi will have been relocated. Please send someone to keep an eye on them."
"As soon as the people from Qi State leave, you will immediately station troops to occupy the territory first, and then we will immediately prepare to mine this mineral vein close to Qi State."
Xu Ning nodded, then hesitated for a moment before saying, "Should I talk to Qian Guo about this?"
After all, the huge vein of Yunshan Iron Mine belongs to Qian Guo. Jing Guo naturally has to say hello to Qian Guo if he wants to exploit it.
Zhao Kangdao: "It's okay if I know. Let's do it first. When I finish the affairs of Qianguo, how much it will be then, we can divide it equally between the two countries."
"It's easy to say, then let's settle it like this." Xu Ning nodded.
After resting in the military camp for a night, Zhao Kang led his people back to the capital of Jingguohua early the next morning.
And in Qi State.
Zhou Yue, who had been promoted to prime minister, frowned, and it was not until the second half of the next night that the dispatched people came back.
"Sir, Chen Xuan and others are all dead."
Zhou Yue was shocked: "All dead?"
"Yes, the death was very tragic. I checked that he was probably killed by a top expert, and he probably died at the hands of one person. It seems that there were strong people among the people sent by Jingguo this time."
Zhou Yue clicked his tongue: "That's right, Jingguo has always had many martial arts masters, that's all. Since you can't get it back, forget it. Just retreat."
"I obey, little one."
…
Less than half a month later, Zhao Kang and his party finally arrived at Huajing City. Wu Rulong, who had received the news early, brought civil and military officials, the prince, and other people to greet them in the imperial city.
The emperor and his ministers were a little excited, because they all knew that Zhao Kang had completed the mission from the secret report sent back by Xu Ning.
Throughout the history of Jingguo, this is the first time that they have obtained land from another country.
It is still a powerful country like Qi.
Wu Rulong was particularly happy. With this chance, even if he died, he would not be allowed to be highlighted in history books in the future?
