What does it mean to be in trouble again and again, and what does it mean to keep cutting and sorting things out but still getting into chaos? Chen Ying finally understands now...
The leader of the Demon Sect, Dongfang Sheng, who had not been seen for a while, suddenly came to tell him something: he was going to lead people deep beyond the Great Wall!
The reason is very simple, it is the action of destroying the Shangqing Palace and the Lotus Sect.
According to Dongfang Sheng, these two families had made the Holy Sect miserable, and now it was their turn to pay the price.
Whatever they want to achieve, as long as the Holy Sect has the ability, they will interfere with it and completely destroy it. It's that simple.
Chen Ying was speechless, but did not persuade her to say anything...
If this is the case, I am afraid that the relationship between the Demon Sect and the decent alliance will continue to deteriorate, which will be detrimental to the recovery of the Demon Sect.
Dongfang Sheng didn't take it seriously, saying that the current situation of the Holy Sect was quite good, at least they were united and there wasn't much internal turmoil.
Compared with the huge momentum at the beginning, but the appearance of a mess, it is really stronger than before.
Chen Ying didn't say much. That was all they had to say. He could only express his hope that Dongfang Shengma would succeed.
After the guy left, Chen Ying couldn't help it. Unknowingly, Feihu Jing had been deeply involved in some whirlpools, and it was not easy to escape.
A few days later, the two brothers-in-law suddenly visited together. On behalf of the Northern Frontier Army, they requested Feihu Trail to send manpower and sufficient material support.
What is supported?
The two brothers-in-law made it very clear that the border army generals had long been coveting the rail transit on Feihu Trail.
It’s just that we didn’t have the manpower and financial resources to lay this stuff at the border crossings before.
This time, when the army was leaving the border, they took the opportunity to propose laying rail transit in several important frontier towns to provide logistics support for the army. Zhenbei Gong and the eldest prince all agreed to their request.
The wartime mechanism is activated, and the Flying Fox Trail side must fully cooperate.
Of course, the consumption of manpower and material resources will be settled at cost price.
Damn, you are really good at calculating!
Chen Ying didn't think anything of it. The civil and military officials in the Lord's Mansion almost exploded with anger. Isn't this just a pretext to take advantage?
But it happened that the people who contacted him at this time were Chen Ying's two brothers-in-law. They couldn't bear to explode in front of others, and they were extremely aggrieved.
"There is nothing to say. In order to avoid other troubles, we can only agree, and we must complete the track laying and opening to traffic on time and in quantity!"
Chen Ying made the decision directly. Even though the civil and military officials in the Lord's Mansion were extremely reluctant, they could only hold their noses and admit it in the end.
Just as Chen Ying said, if we don't actively cooperate this time, we may have to designate Feihu Trail to send troops to escort grain, grass and ordnance when the army goes out in the future.
That is the real hard work. You must know that the White Bear Tribe is at least one hundred thousand miles away from the nearest border fortress!
Damn it, such a long logistics supply line means that the packhorses in the main world are not bad at speed and carry a huge load, otherwise they would not be enough to consume during the journey.
Fortunately, the Flying Fox Trail has already established standards for track laying, and they sent out a few powerful Danjin men to lead the engineering team, so there is no need to worry too much about what happens next.
It was impossible for Feihu Trail to dispatch too many manpower. In the end, the important border towns that would benefit had to provide manpower and materials. Chen Ying had made it clear to his two brothers-in-law.
"Don't be polite to those old fools in the army. Just tell them exactly what I said. If you are willing to accept it, just start it. If you are not willing to accept it, I won't force it!"
There was a family dinner in the backyard of the Lord's Mansion, and Chen Ying said bluntly: "There are not many opportunities for these veterans in the army to take advantage of me. If they miss it this time, it's hard to say whether they will have another chance in the future!"
"
"They don't dare to take risks, and they don't have the guts to stab me!"
Seeing that his two brothers-in-law were a little uneasy, he smiled and comforted them: "It really made me anxious, so I sent Xiong Dazhuang to deal with them!"
Although there were smiles on their faces when they said this, the two sisters-in-law felt chills in their hearts and sweat broke out all over their bodies.
Who is Xiong Dazhuang?
He was the only powerful Grand Master in the entire North. If this guy went to look for trouble, all the frontier generals would have to kneel down.
"Are you two also joining the expedition led by the eldest prince this time?"
Because it wasn't very serious, Chen Ying didn't want to scare the two brothers-in-law too much. He changed the topic and softened his tone and asked with a smile: "But any job?"
"We're not involved!"
The two concubine sons-in-law of Zhenbei Gongfu looked at each other, and one of them smiled bitterly and said: "Our strength is only average, and we can't afford to join forces at all!"
Another person continued: "We are only helping with logistics. As for the specific combat matters, we don't even think about participating!"
"That's fine!"
Chen Ying nodded and said with a smile: "You should have heard some news. This matter is related to the inheritance of the Xiuxian sect. If you don't have late-stage or peak innate strength, it's best not to get involved randomly. If you are not careful, you will end up in a state of disgrace!"
The two concubine sons-in-law of Zhenbei Gongfu nodded repeatedly. Seeing that Chen Yingying had a kind and good attitude, one of them boldly asked: "My third uncle's Feihu Trail is extremely powerful, why didn't I join in?"
"I'm not interested!"
In order to prevent his two brothers-in-law from thinking that he was pretending to be competing, he explained with a chuckle: "I have found my own martial arts. If I keep going all the way, I can at least reach a certain level without talking about reaching the end!"
"At this time, it is the time to work hard with all your heart. There is no benefit in being distracted!"
"Besides, everything is just speculation. No one can tell whether the eldest prince can succeed in commanding an army!"
Having said this, he smiled and said: "So, I have no intention of actively participating!"
"Of course, if something happens to you, I won't be afraid!"
"Third uncle, you are so proud!"
The two concubine sons-in-law praised in unison, and one of them said with a wry smile: "It's a pity that our family background is not deep, and now our strength is only in the early stage of innate talent, and I really can't do anything about it!"
Chen Ying chuckled lightly, waved her hand and said: "If you think the Flying Fox Trail is good, you can find an opportunity to stay here for a while!"
After saying this, he paused for a moment. Facing the surprised expressions of his two brothers-in-law, he said leisurely: "I don't dare to say anything else. I can help you to reach the middle stage of Xiantian, or even the late stage of Xiantian."
The two concubine sons-in-law thanked each other profusely. They were satisfied with the meal and staggered a little when they returned to their temporary residences.
I have long heard that Chen Ying is very powerful and his methods of cultivating talents are also first-class, otherwise his uncles and uncles would not take turns to come to Feihu Trail and stay there for more than a year.
When they returned to Beidicheng and showed up again, their strength had improved by one or two small realms, which was quite an exaggeration.
You know, several uncles have all entered the innate level, and it is not that simple to make progress.
But the fact is that as long as they receive more than a year of training at Feihu Trail, their strength has improved by leaps and bounds.
It would be strange to say that the two sons-in-law of the Duke were not jealous.
It's just that Chen Ying rarely returned to Beidicheng before, and there was no friendship or common language between them.
The only concubine in Zhenbei Palace, her relationship with Chen Ying can only be described as average, far from being intimate.
In addition, the two concubine sons-in-law themselves were of extraordinary background, they were both direct sons of the family, and they were also proud and arrogant masters. It was understandable that they could not lose face for a while.
However, when they realized that except for Chen Ying, the strength of the three uncles had all reached the late stage of Xiantian, or even the peak of Xiantian, they could no longer sit still.
Their cultivation at this time was only in the early stage of Xiantian, and they could still get the reputation of being a young talent from the North.
In front of the four uncles, it was a big joke.
It's a pity that even if they want to improvise, they can't find a way.
Although my wife is only a concubine of the government, she has been pampered since she was a child, and there is no way she can easily bow her head to her third brother Chen Ying.
Even if you want to be submissive, you still have to ask Chen Ying if he accepts it?
It would be embarrassing if Chen Ying ignored him if he wrote a letter hastily.
Fortunately, the royal family and the court suddenly decided to use troops against the White Bear tribe outside the Great Wall, which gave the two sons-in-law of the prince a chance to contact Chen Ying, so they tentatively mentioned it.
I didn’t want to, but my third uncle was easy to talk to and agreed immediately.
Of course, the two of them did not think that it was because of their own dignity, but because of the favor of their third uncle and brother and the two concubines, that is, the brother-sister relationship between their wives that they agreed.
Otherwise, with the temperament of the third uncle and brother who are too lazy to pay much attention to Zhenbeigong Mansion, how could they possibly like such familiar strangers like them?
In fact, the real situation is that it is impossible for Chen Ying to personally teach these two sisters-in-law.
With the strength of the two of them, in fact, as long as they stay in Feihu Trail, their strength will be improved very quickly with the martial arts and environment of Feihu Trail.
Of course, the premise is that these two people must be motivated...
There is really no shortage of cultivation resources here at Feihu Trail. If you want to improve your foundation and accumulation in a short time, there are pills with clearly marked prices available for consumption, and the two brothers-in-law are not short of money.
As long as you can keep up with your daily supplements, under the influence of a strong martial style like Feihu Jing, it is really not difficult to improve your strength.
In particular, their own strength is not strong, but their improvement is even more rapid.
Naturally, Chen Ying did not need to explain this clearly to her two brothers-in-law, lest she would be accused of being unreasonable.
To be honest, if the two sisters came in person, Chen Ying would definitely not ignore them like this.
Again, the two brothers-in-law were really just familiar passers-by, and they couldn't make any waves in their hearts.
If they were strong enough, Chen Ying might send a few strong men to help 'take care' of them, but now there is no need for that at all.
Time flew by amid all the disturbances, and a few months passed in the blink of an eye. The expedition matter, which had been so noisy in Beidi City, finally came to the most critical moment. The eldest prince personally presided over the expedition ceremony, and couldn't wait to bring the five people from other states with him.
