A loud laugh showed that Xiao Zhan was in a good mood at this time.
"Brother Jian, Master Wuliang, how is this person?" Xiao Zhan asked with a smile immediately after Xiao Ziyu left.
"Yes, this person's cultivation is really unfathomable!"
Wuliang Zhenren said with a hint of solemnity on his face,.
"Yeah! I agree with Master Wuliang. This person is indeed very powerful." Wan Jianshang also nodded.
During the martial arts exchange just now, the two of them understood that the other party was not only powerful, but also had an unfathomable level of martial arts cultivation.
At least the two of them didn't find out Xiao Ziyu's background, which made them pay more attention to Xiao Ziyu and the Xundao Sect behind him.
"Brother Jian, Master Wuliang, do you think it is possible for me to invite this person to cross the endless sea together?"
After hesitating for a few minutes, Xiao Zhan suddenly said something, and both Twenty Thousand Swordsman and Wuliang were shocked.
"Brother Xiao, why do you think so? Does the royal family want..." Wan Jianshang suddenly looked at Xiao Zhan and said.
"It's not about the royal family, it's about me. Now I'm three hundred years old, and there are still a hundred years left. If I can't break through the Heavenly Royal Realm, then I will have no choice but to die."
"In this lost land, it is impossible to break through the Heavenly Control Realm, so I have long wanted to leave here, but the dangers of the Endless Sea have made me hesitate. But now let me meet this person, if he is with me,
I believe that by crossing the endless sea, the danger will be greatly reduced."
Regarding these two old friends of his, Xiao Zhan still expressed his thoughts.
"this..."
Wan Jianshang and Wuliang Zhenren were also silent after listening to Xiao Zhan's words. As Xiao Zhan's old friends for hundreds of years, they certainly understood the character of their old friend. Since they had already decided, it would be a hundred heads.
Even the horse couldn't pull it back.
And they also know that what their old friend said is true. In this lost land, it is almost impossible to break through the Heavenly Control Realm.
And their old friend is indeed old, three hundred years old. If he cannot break through the Heavenly Control Realm and reach the next realm in these hundred years, then he will only become a pile of loess.
So they understand the former's mood.
"Then what should we do about Zhenbeiguan? If you leave, I think Zhenbeiguan will not be able to be defended." Master Wuliang asked seriously.
Zhenbeiguan is the most powerful pass in the world and can resist the southward movement of the northern grasslands. However, this important pass also depends on who is in the hands of it.
Before Xiao Zhan took control, although the town of Beiguan was able to resist the northern grasslands, it was often broken through by the grassland empire.
And ever since Xiao Zhan took control of Beiguan, in the past hundred years, no one from the north has been able to break through Beiguan and go south to plunder.
Because of his Xiao Zhan, Bingzhou and surrounding areas have been free from harassment by the Northern Empire for hundreds of years.
But once Xiao Zhan left, Wuliang Zhenren really couldn't think of any general in Daqian who could replace Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan's ability is comparable to that of Da Gan, and his strength is not the best, but his battlefield command ability is definitely the top of Da Gan.
So once Xiao Zhan leaves, Zhenbeiguan will be in some danger.
Moreover, they all also understood that an eagle-like hero appeared in the north, and if Zhenbeiguan lost Xiao Zhan, it would most likely be lost.
"I'm old," Xiao Zhan suddenly sighed, "Daqian has been at peace for too long, and all those generals have been abolished. Even if I sit in Beiguan here for a hundred years, if I die a hundred years later,
When the time comes, who will take over from me to suppress this town of Beiguan?"
There were a few good generals in his Zhenbei Army, and they all continued to grow under his training, but it was obvious that they would never be able to take over Xiao Zhan's position.
Because the Daqian royal family will never hand over such an important position as Zhenbeiguan to anyone other than the royal family. The commander-in-chief of the Zhenbei Army, even if Xiao Zhan, the king of Zhenbei, quits, he can only belong to the royal family. Someone will take over, no matter how talented someone else is.
The royal family will never rest assured.
"indeed!"
Wan Jianshang, who understood the truth, nodded. He understood that Daqian had not experienced war for many years. Except for the border, many other armies had even been abolished. Even the Imperial Forbidden Army might not have much combat effectiveness.
The soldiers have little combat effectiveness, let alone the generals.
Wan Jianshang is also worried. Even though he is an elder of the Dongli Sword Sect, he is also from a military family in Daqian.
His Wan family followed Da Qian's ancestors and conquered the world. He has accepted the idea of patriotism since he was a child. In this way, even if he becomes a top master in the world, he will not lose his feelings for Da Qian.
This is one of the reasons why he and Xiao Zhan can become old friends.
"Then do you have anyone you like?"
Wan Jianshang looked at Xiao Zhan and asked. He knew the character of his old friend. Even if he chose to leave, he would not let go so easily.
No one loves this country more than him.
There was a turmoil in the royal family at that time. The late emperor went crazy because of his martial arts practice and suddenly died. The death of the late emperor who was in his prime caught the entire Daqian court by surprise.
Because at that time, the late emperor had not yet established a prince, and the entire Daqian army was leaderless.
As soon as the late emperor died, all the ghosts and snake gods came out. No one wanted to take the position of the Nine-Fifth Emperor. The princes and grandsons all tried their best to get this position. For this reason, the princes started a bloody battle. competition.
The ministers of the imperial court also kept taking positions. As a result, during that period, the imperial court fell into chaos, and the world was even slightly turbulent.
If it weren't for the fact that there were several powerful men in the Tianyu Realm in Daqian's clan who had been alert to the Demon Sect's movements, I'm afraid that even if Daqian wasn't pushed down that time, his vitality would have been severely damaged.
As a disciple of the royal family, especially as a brother of the late emperor, Xiao Zhan was favored by many ministers and even some clan members in the clan mansion.
After all, at that time, he, Xiao Zhan, had just broken through to the Heavenly Royal Realm, and also controlled a large army. Regardless of his personal strength or prestige, he had the opportunity to ascend to that throne.
But Xiao Zhan was not blind at that time. At that time, he knew very well that his decision was very terrible. If he made a mistake, Da Gan would be seriously injured.
At that time, there were a total of three forces that could ascend the throne. One was him, the younger brother of the late emperor, who was also a first-class general.
The second is the eldest prince, the eldest son of the late emperor. This prince's political methods and strategies can be said to be almost as good as those of the late emperor.
If nothing unexpected happens, the late emperor will definitely make him the crown prince.
There is also the third prince. He is the son of the queen, and his uncle is also a general guarding one side. With the support of forces behind him, the possibility of him ascending to the throne is not small.
At that time, the collision of these three forces would lead Daqian into civil strife if one of them failed.
At this moment, the northern grassland empire began to get ready to move.
As a result, Daqian fell into internal and external troubles. If one mistake is made, the foundation that has been established for thousands of years may be destroyed.
It was at this moment that Xiao Zhan stood up. He was the first to give up the throne, an extremely tempting position. Apparently, he quickly chose to support the eldest prince.
Compared to the older princes, the third prince is undoubtedly much worse. His ability to stand out is just because of the forces behind him that are adding fuel to the flames.
Xiao Zhan could see this at a glance, so he was determined not to let the throne be handed over to the third prince. Once it was handed over to him, the relative's power would be greatly enhanced. This was not something he wanted to see.
So he stood up to support the eldest prince. Now with his support, the eldest prince's power suddenly increased greatly. And now, it became clear that with his support from Xiao Zhan, the uncle behind the third prince , and I don’t dare to stand out again.
So the eldest prince also sat on the throne. And the eldest prince's methods were also extremely clever. He didn't want some short-sighted guys to just come up and kill the donkey.
Instead, he wooed Xiao Zhan even more, directly named him King of Zhenbei, and suppressed Zhenbeiguan.
In this way, the relationship between the uncle and nephew has become even closer. In the past hundred years, Daqian has not been weakened. Except for the chaos caused by the Demon Sect, Daqian has also calmed down.
