Anzhou, official straight road.
On the plain where the wax figures were originally riding, the galloping horse-drawn train was racing along the official straight road. The manes of the majestic horses were flying, and the muscles were surging like waves with the running movements. The flying snow in the sky had just touched Their bodies melted quickly, mixed with sweat beads, and flowed down from their bodies. The train behind them made a sound of "Gedeng, Deng, Deng, Deng, Deng," full of passionate rhythm.
This is a straight train from Anzhou to Shinkyo. At the rear of the train are wealthy merchants and landlords. Most of them are going to distant places for purchasing and business, and a few of them are going to visit relatives and friends. They are crowded in the three seats at the rear. Among the train cars, some were chatting enthusiastically, chatting and making friends, while others were sitting quietly in their seats, curiously looking at everything outside the window.
Going forward among these three carriages are three more luxurious and comfortable carriages. Once here, the carriages become more relaxed. Each row of seats can only seat two people at most, unlike the previous carriages where three people sat in a row. even more.
The carriages here are all filled with noble officials or military generals. Some of them were transferred to other places, some came to Beijing to report on their duties, and some were transferred from their original posts.
This is the practice of Daqi. Local generals above the rank of lieutenant general can serve at most five years, and those below the rank of lieutenant general can serve at most ten years. This is a rule established by Emperor Taizu in order to prevent soldiers from forming a clique.
But this rule has almost become obsolete now. The Zhan family has become the most powerful family, the leader of the military meritorious group, and has been entrenched in the northwest for a long time, making this rule almost in name only in the northwest.
The same is true in the southeast. Long Tenghai and the Dijon Kingdom have been fighting in the southeast for many years. Just when they were about to win, another sworn enemy of Da Qi, the Puppet Kingdom, quietly joined the war, catching Long Tenghai off guard, and the two sides returned to a tug of war.
This war lasted for many years. The southeast of Daqi was almost hollowed out. Long Tenghai saw him as another Southeast King. At this time, Emperor Zhao Bairen of Daqi could not sit still. No matter how stupid and stupid he was, he would not sit back and watch the second A northwest king appeared in the southeastern territory of Daqi.
Therefore, Zhao Bairen once again put forward the proposal for transfer reports. Except for the northwest and southeast directions, which he could not transfer, generals from other places began to transfer to each other frequently.
These generals and officials sat in a group, chatting, drinking, and fist-fighting, and shouted so loudly that the whole carriage was filled with excitement. The civil servants who came to Beijing to report on their duties all sat in another carriage, far away from them. , but even so, their noisy voices can be heard, causing these literati to look at them with extremely contemptuous eyes. They each sit in a carriage, and their civil and military classes are clearly differentiated.
Further ahead, in another carriage, were children of aristocrats. They had neither official positions nor meritorious deeds. They belonged to neither the civil official group nor the military general group. They could only exist dependent on the royal family.
These dandies who were born with golden keys and jade spoons in their mouths are obviously very familiar with this straight train. Some of them are familiar with each other and are laughing and playing leaf tricks together, while others are lying on the spacious seats and shouting loudly. sleep.
Further forward, there is the most luxurious carriage, and all the people sitting in it are disciples of the Lingshan Sect, that is, the first-class monks in the entire Daqi.
It was not the first time for Li Chengfeng and others to ride this straight train, so they seemed much calmer. Others had also ridden many times and were even more familiar with it.
The two most luxurious carriages are allocated to a separate section for Zangxiu Pavilion, while Zangqing Pavilion, Cangjian Pavilion and Zangjin Pavilion share a section.
Regarding such an extremely unfair distribution, no one in the other three-day pavilion could say a word "no".
Because they all knew that although Li Chengfeng was nominally the team leader, the boss valued his leadership and fighting skills, not his absolute strength.
In terms of absolute strength, the one here deserves to be the senior sister!
Not to mention anything else, during the battle with Qiongqi, the shot that Senior Sister blocked from Jiutian Jiyan and killed Qiongqi shocked the whole audience. Even Kong Yunzhen was secretly impressed.
In their opinion, the senior sister is the mainstay of their group, not Li Chengfeng who jumped up on a rocket.
Moreover, the senior sister and the others are women after all. It is inconvenient to share a carriage with men for a long time. From the perspective of caring for the beauty, no one among them has any objections.
In this expedition, the Lingshan sect sent very few people, because each sect has a limit on the number of people, and the upper limit does not exceed 9 people.
Therefore, this time, Hidden Sword Pavilion sent three people, namely Li Chengfeng, Zhao Xiaobao, and Han Tianxing. Although Zhao Xiaobao and Han Tianxing were juniors, their performance in the individual battle for assessment and rating was obvious to all. In the Tiange Battle, they Their respective battles were recorded in the battle reports, and their performances were also seen by everyone. As Sun Yongcai and others had just returned as rebel disciples, even if they had any thoughts in their hearts, they could not criticize them at this juncture.
Zangqing Pavilion sent five people, namely Li Xuanming, Fu Teng and three junior brothers. Originally, Mo Yu was also qualified to participate in the battle. However, in the battle of Tiange Pavilion, Mo Yu was almost disabled by Li Chengfeng. He is currently recovering from his injuries and cannot participate in the battle.
Zangxiu Pavilion sent two people, an unbeatable duo: Senior Sister and Ouyang Xiu.
Zangjin Pavilion sent four people, including Zhan Qi Sheng. Although there were many people, they were already at the bottom in terms of strength.
One of Qian Shanxue and Huangfu Song was killed and the other was disabled. Many masters were injured by Li Chengfeng in individual battles. In addition, Zangjin Pavilion experienced another tragic battle with the Xuan Sheng Sect. The strength has almost collapsed. From being superior to the Four Heavenly Pavilion to being at the bottom of the Four Heavenly Pavilion, the strength situation is terrible. Compared with Li Chengfeng's arrogance and domineering attitude when he first joined the family, Zangjin Pavilion at this time was as pitiful as the little daughter-in-law who had just passed through the door. It was true that the wind and water were changing, thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river.
Li Chengfeng stared at Zhan Qisheng not far away. He did not ask Zhan Qisheng if he just left Qianshanxue, because there was no point in going.
Zhan Qisheng will never admit this unless Li Chengfeng comes up with conclusive evidence.
Originally, Li Chengfeng wanted to investigate this matter privately, but Ma Qianli's sudden order caught him off guard, so he could only lead the team to the Shenjing thousands of miles away.
Zhao Xiaobao frowned and looked around. After a while, he couldn't help but asked Li Chengfeng in a low voice: "Master, why don't we go from the teleportation array and take this straight train?"
Li Chengfeng, who was closing his eyes to rest, opened his eyes. He smiled and said, "What, are you carsick?"
Zhao Xiaobao opened his mouth in surprise, with a face full of embarrassment: "Master, how did you know?"
Li Chengfeng handed him an orange with a smile and said, "Eat some, you will feel better."
Zhao Xiaobao said with a grimace: "I've eaten seven of them already... I'm going to have a long mouth to eat."
Zhao Xiaobao peeled the orange open, stuffed a piece into his mouth, and said, "Even if you don't get motion sickness, you can still walk on the teleportation array. It's so fast! I'm suffocated sitting in this car. It's very uncomfortable."
Han Tianxing, who was on the side, suddenly looked over and whispered: "Why are we going to Shenjing so early, two months in advance?"
Suddenly a pleasant voice came from the opposite side: "That's because when you arrive in Shenjing, you need to make a lot of pre-battle preparations. Do you think the world's best fighting tournament is that simple?"
Accompanying them was the world-famous Daqi Princess Zhao Feiyue. She sat opposite Li Chengfeng and glanced at Li Chengfeng with dissatisfaction and reproach, as if she was wondering why he agreed to win the first place. Unrealistic things.
Zhao Feiyue said: "Every time the World's Best Fighting Tournament has dozens or hundreds of cultivation sects participating in the battle, the number of participants exceeds 10,000. It is called the biggest event in the cultivation world. Any monk who wins the first place in personal combat will become famous in one fell swoop. Known to the world, he is even qualified to establish a sect! And any practicing sect that wins the sect war will be famous all over the world, thus attracting more talents to join. Such fierce competition and battle... without adequate preparation, it will never happen Might win!”
As he said that, Zhao Feiyue looked at Li Chengfeng seriously and said: "It's different from the Lingshan sect's assessment battle. In Lingshan, there is a restriction that golden masters do not participate in the battle, but in the fighting tournament, there is no such restriction! You will encounter it at any time. Go to the Golden Master! Moreover, in the personal assessment battle in Lingshan, you may be able to go very far by relying on your intelligence and talent in fighting. But in the world's best fighting tournament, you will never get far by relying on intelligence and talent in fighting. of!"
Although these words didn't sound good, Li Chengfeng knew that Zhao Feiyue was doing this for his own good. He nodded seriously and said, "I know, I will be careful and prepared."
Seeing this, Zhao Xiaobao quickly changed the subject and said, "Then why can't we teleport there and take this straight train?"
Zhao Feiyue smiled and said: "To enter the capital via the teleportation circle, you must declare it in advance. Officials from the divine capital must verify and approve it before you can pass. Otherwise, monks from all over the world will be like entering an uninhabited land. If there are people with evil intentions, it will be easy. If you come in, wouldn’t it mean chaos in the world?”
Li Chengfeng immediately drew inferences and said: "If you declare in advance and a hostile cultivator knows your whereabouts and ambushes you at the teleportation point, wouldn't it be..."
Zhao Feiyue nodded appreciatively: "That's right! Therefore, practitioners rarely use such long-distance transmission arrays because... it's not safe!"
Zhao Xiaobao was stunned: "Huh? That's Shenjing! Will there be an ambush in Shenjing?"
Zhao Feiyue smiled and said: "This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened! As long as your enemy knows the time and place of your transmission and is waiting to ambush you wherever you appear, it will be almost impossible for you to escape! "
Han Tianxing couldn't help but said: "Does Shenjing not care? Where is the government? Where is the divine religion?"
Zhao Feiyue said: "Don't care, you can't prevent it even if you care! Those who set ambushes are often great cultivators. They come high and high, and with one successful move, they immediately escape far away. When the government reacts and the blood guards arrive, they will be long gone." It’s so cold, what can you do with them?”
Li Chengfeng nodded and said: "Indeed, no one dares to bet. Therefore, it is indeed safer to take the straight train..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a loud rumble in the distance, and the ground shook violently like an earthquake. The whole train was derailed and flew out. For a moment, the horses screamed and fell and rolled, and the train cars were spinning. Fly out horizontally.
Li Chengfeng was so shocked that he felt dizzy in mid-air and almost wanted to slap himself.
Make you a crow's mouth!
The poisonous grandma finally came to me! !
