Zhan Chen looked at the elder and didn't know who he was when he heard people talking around him.
Who is that elder? He looks unfamiliar.
You don’t even understand this. He is the elder Wu Zhihe, a big shot in the Elder’s Court. Does he have the powerful cultivation of Emperor Wu’s Great Perfection?
So will he be the one to lead the Western Frontier garrison this time?
It looks like to me.
But no matter what, with such a powerful person in charge, our trip will be much safer.
Go ahead and dream about your dreams. The only ones who are safe are the big shots. Those of us at the bottom are not safe.
Then why did you sign up?
Hehe, aren't we all treasures?
After listening to the discussion of these people, Zhan Chen probably knew the identity of the Jinpao elder. At this time, he heard Wu Zhihe say to everyone: Hello everyone, my name is Wu Zhihe, and I am the leader of your trip. Since you have signed up to participate in this mission
, everyone must obey my orders and arrangements and work together. Only in this way can we maintain the stability of the Daning Kingdom border and protect the soil and water on that side from attacks by monsters or demonic cultivators.
Zhan Chen nodded. Daning Country is a subsidiary of Xuandao Sect and has provided Xuandao Sect with various training resources and countless talents. The sect will naturally take it seriously.
Now, please invite the elders and elite disciples to come forward. Wu Zhihe said.
Zhan Chen, Zhou Ziru and others came forward. Wu Zhihe scanned them and said to them: Well, there are 32 people in total, 14 elders and 18 elite disciples. You are all the pillars of our sect.
Role of example. Now I will select 6 people to be the deputy commanders of this operation.
He selected the 6 people with the highest cultivation among them as his deputies. Then, he divided the remaining people into 13 teams, each team was led by two strong Martial Emperors who acted as positive and negative leaders.
Zhan Chen was also assigned to a team, and he was paired with an elite disciple named Wang Wei, who also had the initial level of Martial Emperor. There were more than 256 people in their team, and there were 33 people with Martial King or above.
It can be imagined that the total number of people in the 13 teams is more than 3,000, which is a large number for Xuan Dao Sect. It shows how much the sect attaches importance to the Western Frontier.
After arranging the queue, Wu Zhihe led the team, and a group of people set off toward the north in a mighty manner.
Zhan Chen was quite doubtful about this, so he asked Wang Wei beside him: Wang Wei, why do you think we are heading north? Isn't the Western Frontier in the northwest?
Wang Wei smiled and replied: Brother Zhan, you don’t know something. Our team is not going directly to the west, but we have to go to the capital of Daning first.
Oh, why is this
Because although our sect is the leader behind the Daning Kingdom, in name the royal court of the Daning Kingdom is the symbol of this country, and the Western Frontier also belongs to the Daning Kingdom. Therefore, if we want to go to the Western Frontier, we must also join the Daning Kingdom’s army.
Obey the deployment of Daning Kingdom.
So that was it. Only then did Zhan Chen suddenly realize.
Although Daning Kingdom is a vassal of our Xuan Dao Sect, I heard that their strength has grown very rapidly in recent years. King Ning Yu of Daning Kingdom has also reached the intermediate level of Martial Saint, and I heard that Daning Kingdom's middle school
Ning Yu is not the only master of the Martial Saints, and there are no less than a hundred masters of the Martial Emperors.
I didn't expect that the power of a great royal court could be comparable to that of a sect. I have gained so much knowledge. Zhan Chen couldn't help but sigh.
Isn't that right? Let me explain it to you more clearly. As far as I know, our sect and Daning Kingdom are not the only ones involved in guarding the Western Frontier. There are also other sect masters scattered throughout Daning Kingdom. And this guarding task is not open to the public.
On the surface it is defense, but in reality it is
It is a proving ground for major sects and royal courts to cultivate and train elites. Not only our sect, but also the Yunshan Sword Alliance Yuci Palace, and even the demon sects also have this attitude. Only those who have experienced all kinds of things in this neutral zone
Those who work hard are the real strong ones
After hearing Wang Wei's words, Zhan Chen suddenly felt like he could see the sun from the clouds again.
The team traveled through mountains and rivers, meandering forward, and after nearly a month they arrived at Ningcheng, the capital of Daning Kingdom.
Ningcheng is majestic and vast, with towering city walls, no less impressive than the Moluo City that Zhan Chen had seen before. The entire body is made of white bricks, which are as transparent as jade and glow softly under the sunlight.
Wow, it looks extremely strange.
In the team, everyone who saw Ning Cheng for the first time couldn't help but praise him and looked forward to entering the city immediately to take a quick look.
At this moment, drums were beating and trombones were blaring on the top of the city. The city gate was opened wide, and groups of ceremonial guards poured out. They quickly stood in two rows in front of the city gate, played military music, and lined the streets to welcome them.
A middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe, a golden crown on his head, a face as red as copper, eyes like a torch, and a beard, walked slowly from the city gate, and behind him were a group of civil servants and military men, all of whom were fine.
The Qi is restrained and the cultivation is extraordinary.
Seeing this, Wu Zhihe got up and got out of the car, led the people behind him, walked forward quickly, walked to the middle-aged man, bowed down and said: Xuandao Sect Elder Wu Zhihe pays homage to King Daning
And the people behind him also followed the example and bowed to King Daning, saying in unison: "Greetings to King Daning."
Ning Yu laughed loudly and said: Angel, please get up quickly. I look forward to the masters of Xuan Dao Sect, just like looking at the clouds after a long drought.
Wu Zhihe then stood up with everyone and said: "Don't dare. We are here to assist Your Majesty on the order of the sect leader. The Xuan Dao Sect is in Daning Kingdom and has been under His Majesty's care for a long time. It is our duty to protect the territory."
Everyone from the Xuan Dao Sect will quickly follow me into the city. I have already prepared lodging, food and accommodation for you in the city. King Daning said as he turned around and entered the city. Wu Zhihe also led the crowd to follow.
Entering Ningcheng on the morning of the war, we saw wide roads, a constant flow of cars and horses, pedestrians, shops lined up in rows, and prosperous trade.
Everyone did not panic at all because of the arrival of the monarch and the Xuan Dao Sect team. Everything was as usual. Only when the king passed by did they kneel to him and say: Long live your majesty.
Seeing this, Zhan Chen had a good impression of King Daning again. It seemed that although this king held a high position, he did not rely on his status and martial arts skills to dominate the lower classes, so he
There is this scene of harmonious coexistence between top and bottom.
After crossing a few streets, a magnificent palace appears in people's sight. The red palace walls and tall watchtowers all isolate the palace from the outside world and form its own space. Outside the outer walls, there are rows of guards.
Patrolled and tightly guarded.
Standing under the tall palace wall, you can look up and see a tall spire-shaped palace that stands out, like a sharp cone reaching into the sky. Zhan Chen thought that that was probably the main palace where the king lived.
Due to the large number of people in Xuan Dao Sect, everyone below the elders was concentrated in the barracks area on one side of the palace. Only the elders could enter the palace wall.
So Zhan Chen followed Wu Zhihe into the main entrance of the palace, and saw another luxurious scene, spotless avenues, lush flower beds, beautiful sculpture fountains, and the beautiful palace maids floating by.
They all left a deep impression.
King Daning welcomed everyone into the palace and ordered an official on the side to arrange accommodation for Xuan Dao Sect and others. After Zhan Chen inquired, it turned out that it was because masters from several sects had not arrived yet. So they waited in the palace again.
For nearly a week, during this period, more than forty powerful Martial Emperors from several sects came to the royal court one after another.
A week later, King Daning held a grand banquet in his palace to honor the masters from various sects who came to help.
That night, when Zhan Chen came to the banquet site, he saw that the huge palace was already filled with tables, more than three hundred of them, and each table was covered with delicacies, fine wine, and jade liquid, which attracted everyone's attention.
Drooling.
Zhan Chen sat down with everyone, looked around, and found that everyone here was a strong Martial Emperor. He was suddenly shocked and thought to himself: I didn't expect that guarding a western border would attract so many masters. I'm afraid they are the backbone of the entire Daning Kingdom.
It's all gathered here.
After a while, everyone came, and more than 300 seats were occupied. The leader of the Daning Kingdom was in a high position. He raised the golden bottle in front of him and said with a big smile: I am really happy today. The people here are all strong men of my generation in the Daning Kingdom. I want to
I toasted everyone first and then drank the wine in one gulp.
The people who were serving His Majesty the wine drank all the wine.
I also heard King Daning say: Tomorrow, we will set off, and here I would like to introduce to you the commander of this march, the third prince Ning Qi, who is also a widower.
The guard at the door immediately shouted loudly: His Highness Prince Xuansan
After a while, a tall and handsome young man walked in from the door.
Zhan Chen used the secret technique of true pupils to look at him and was astonished. He couldn't tell that the Third Prince was actually a strong man in the Great Perfection realm of Emperor Wu. No wonder his father was so proud when he introduced him.
Ning Qi stepped forward, knelt down on one knee, cupped her hands and said: My child, Ning Qi, pays homage to my father.
My son, get up quickly
Ning Qi stood up.
Give my son a seat quickly
The attendants on one side immediately put on the seat cushions and wine table, and placed the food and wine on the table. Ning Qi knelt down and sat on the right hand side of King Daning.
Lord Daning said again: My son, I want to introduce you to the distinguished guests here today, and you propose a toast to them one by one.
yes
This is Elder Wu from Xuan Dao Sect.
Ning Qi immediately stood up, raised her wine glass and said to Wu Zhihe: Ning Qi has a drink with Elder Wu.
Wu Zhihe also stood up and responded, saying: Thank you, Your Highness the Prince.
This is Elder Huang from the Six Swords Sect
Then King Daning introduced the representatives of important sects to Ning Qi one by one, and Ning Qi also toasted one by one.
Finally, King Daning said to him again: Qier, you are one of the people I value most. Letting you take charge of the military this time and guard the western border for General Zhao Meng is a training for you. You have to do it.
As a great governor, I must ask for advice from the seniors here, especially Elder Wu from Xuan Dao Sect. Do you understand?
Father, please rest assured, your child will definitely remember this
King Daning nodded and said to everyone: Okay, I don’t want to delay the celebration anymore, let’s start the banquet.
Following his announcement, the bells and chimes played in unison in the palace, and everyone enjoyed a happy time. In the Ming Dynasty, they will rush to the chaotic Western Frontier.
