Since Du Zhenwei, the leader of Chongming Province, was killed by Chu Killing Star a few months ago, another major event has happened in Chongming Province recently. Forced by the 100,000 troops of the Immortal Cultivator Guild to suppress the territory, Chongming Province officials decided to cede the Daming Mansion to the Chu army. In an instant, The entire Chongming Continent was shaken.
There are a total of eight cities in Daming Palace. Among them, Youri City is an important town on the sea and the most important route to the sea. Chongmingzhou officials actually agreed to cede Daming Palace. This shows that Ding Qing put great pressure on Chongmingzhou officials. Of course, Chongmingzhou is now jointly controlled by the eldest prince Du Runan, the seventh prince Du Ruhui and Du Wu. To put it bluntly, it is in a state of fragmentation and there is no way to form a strong unified backbone.
When Ding Qing's 100,000-strong army pressed on, Du Runan's Mingyang Mansion was naturally the first to bear the brunt, and under Mingyang Mansion was Du Ruhui's Dongyang Mansion. Naturally, neither of them was willing to fight Ding Qing's 100,000-man army, and Ding Qing The Daming Mansion that requested to be ceded was actually controlled by Du Wu. Du Runan and Du Ruhui discussed it and decided that it was better to settle the matter and agree to Ding Qing's request in exchange for peace. However, Du Wu's army was suffering from a crazy counterattack by the ghost army in Xingchen Continent and had no time to take care of the Daming Mansion. In addition, she was directly involved last time. Designing Chu Jun, he kept feeling uneasy, and finally had to bite the bullet and admit it. Secretly, he also hoped that making such a big concession would help Chu Jun dispel his anger.
Five hundred miles northeast of Youri City, a camp of dozens of square meters was built on a leeward hillside. In the camp, a bonfire was blazing, and a group of twenty or thirty cultivators were resting, each one covered in wind and dust. Apparently he had traveled a long way.
"Master Song, how far is it to get to Youri City?" A girl with big clear eyes asked while carefully combing the feathers of her mount Tianfeng Diao.
Song Jiang's face was red and he laughed and said: "It's not far away. We'll be there in time tomorrow!"
The other cultivators sitting around the campfire were all smiling. After running for nearly two months and going through many difficulties and dangers along the way, they were finally reaching their destination. They could finally breathe a sigh of relief. From Beiyang Prefecture's Beast Taming City to Daming Prefecture's Youri City, the journey of more than 100,000 miles is undoubtedly an extremely difficult and dangerous journey for a group of cultivators whose highest level of cultivation is only foundation building. However, Song Jiang The guy was relatively lucky. Although he encountered many dangers along the way, he was lucky enough to avoid them. He only injured a few people and no one died.
"Master, I heard that Youri City is now controlled by the Chu army, and the conditions for settling in the city are quite stringent. If we can't settle in the city, wouldn't our trip be in vain?" a Hunter Wind member said worriedly.
In an instant, everyone turned their attention to Song Jiang.
After Song Jiang separated from Chu Jun, he immediately returned to the city to gather the remaining brothers and set off for Youri City. He did not reveal any information about Chu Jun. The reason was that he was afraid that someone would be detrimental to him if his whereabouts were revealed. After all, the Chu clan leader was now under arrest. Sealed spiritual power. Therefore, the entire Wind Hunting Team, except for Song Jiang, Liu Yi and Xiao Qi, even Xiao Qi's father, Xu Laojian, did not know that Lin Jing was the famous Chu Killing Star.
Song Jiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone. I have acquaintances in Youri City. It's easy to get an identity and household registration!"
Everyone suddenly became excited after hearing this. They heard that the ghost army from Beiyang Mansion had crossed the boundary river to attack. Fortunately, the headmaster had the foresight to take everyone to move to Youri City. It was really a wise decision.
Song Jiang and Liu Yi were even more excited than the others because as soon as they entered the territory of Daming Mansion, they heard that Chongmingzhou officials had ceded Daming Mansion to the Chu army. At the beginning, including Song Jiang, they were a little uneasy about defecting to Youri City. Although Chu Killing Star's name was very famous, the Chu army had just been established and the status of Youri City was not yet stable. There was no way to compete with the Chongmingzhou official. To compete, once the Chongmingzhou official sent troops to encircle and suppress Youri City, it was possible that Youri City would die. However, now that they heard that the Chongmingzhou official not only did not send troops, but even ceded the entire Daming Mansion to the Chu army, Song Jiang and Liu Yi were relieved. , I still have a token given by the King of Chu himself, and even if I don’t reuse it when I get to Youri, my life will definitely be enjoyable.
Xiao Qi was carefully combing the feathers of her mount. This Tianfeng Eagle was bought by Chu Jun for her, so she cherished it very much along the way. She fed it a piece of spiritual crystal every day, which made Xu Laojian feel a little sad.
"Look, what is that?" When Xiao Qi was combing the feathers on Tianfengdiao's head, he suddenly saw a bright light appearing in the distance in the night sky, and there was even a faint rumbling sound.
Everyone couldn't help but stood up and looked up with solemn expressions. They saw that the group of light was getting closer and closer, and the large group of light began to divide into more than a dozen groups. Song Jiang and Liu Yi both changed their expressions and blurted out: "It's a troop transport ship!"
Everyone present could not help but be surprised. This place is only a few hundred miles away from Youri City. This troop transport ship left overnight. Could it be that Chongmingzhou officials wanted to attack Youri City
The speed of the troop transport ship was very fast, and it flew over the camp in just a moment. It was huge in size, and dozens of floating arrays and driving arrays under the ship radiated dazzling light. The scene was shocking, and the trees below The aroused air waves were blowing around, and even the bonfires in the camp were blown with charcoal fire, and everyone had to take shelter.
Fortunately, the troop transport passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye there was only a large ball of light.
"My dear, this is a heaven-level combat troop transport ship. It is at least 500 meters long. It is really a giant in the sky. It will be great if we can sit on it anytime!" A Hunter Wind member envied and Shocked.
Liu Yi smiled meaningfully: "If you have a chance, it depends on whether you dare to sit down. Only soldiers in the army are qualified to sit down!"
"Aren't we just soldiers? What's so great about it? We've always lived a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife!" the Hunter Wind member said disapprovingly, patting his chest.
Song Jiang laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You kid, remember, if you really go to the battlefield next time, don't pee your pants!"
"Master, when we go to Youri City, we won't really join the army, right?" the Hunter Wind member asked sarcastically.
Song Jiang did not answer, but asked Liu Yidao: "Did you see it clearly just now? It's the flag of the Immortal Cultivator Guild?"
"It is indeed the flag of the Immortal Cultivator Guild!" Liu Yi said with certainty.
Song Jiang nodded and said: "It seems that important figures from the Immortal Cultivator Guild have arrived in Youri City. The rumors are indeed good. Chongmingzhou officials ceded the Daming Mansion to the Chu Army because of the pressure from the Immortal Cultivator Guild!"
"Brother, I heard that the King of Chu has a close friendship with Ding Qing, the leader of the Immortal Cultivator Guild. Last time, His Majesty the King of Chu helped Ding Qing calm down the civil strife. Moreover, the young lady of the Immortal Cultivator Guild is still engaged to His Majesty the King of Chu. If that's true. , With the Immortal Cultivator Guild as a big backer, Chongmingzhou officials must think carefully if they want to move the Chu army!" Liu Yi said happily!
Xiao Qi next to him lowered his head silently.
…
In Youri City, a troop transport ship landed directly in the square of the city lord's palace. Li Xiangjun, the actual second-in-command of the Chu army, the deputy head of the Tianhuang Sect and a group of senior officials were all waiting there.
As soon as the troop ship stopped, dozens of people walked off the ship. First, there was a woman wrapped in tight black clothes with a plump body and a pretty face. It was Ding Qing, the current leader of the Immortal Cultivator Guild, and there was an eyebrow lined up next to her. The picturesque girl, with a playful joy in her eyes and eyebrows, is none other than Ding Linglong, and behind them are a group of elders from the Immortal Cultivator Guild, all of whom are powerful and whose lineup is extremely prosperous.
Li Xiangjun came forward with everyone smiling and said with a smile: "Welcome Chairman Ding and all the elders!"
Ding Qing chuckled and said, "Master Li Xiang, you're too polite. I don't dare to act as a master. If you don't mind, you can call me Sister Qing!"
Li Xiangjun felt a little happy in his heart, smiled charmingly and said: "Then you're welcome, Xiangjun, Sister Qing!"
Ding Qing chuckled and said: "Tsk, tsk, I don't know what good things my brother Jun has done, but he can be assisted by someone like Xiang Jun!"
"Sister Qing, please stop teasing me!" Li Xiang said a little embarrassedly.
Everyone said hello to each other, Ding Ding and Xiao Xiao screamed and hugged each other, chatting excitedly about what happened during their separation. Everyone entered the hall while chatting.
The banquet had already been prepared in the main hall to wash away the dust. The banquet ended almost at dawn. The rest of the people left one after another, leaving only a few senior officials in the Chu army and a dozen people from the Immortal Cultivator Guild.
"Thanks to your guild for helping me this time. On behalf of the Tianhuang Sect and the Chu Army, I would like to thank Guild Master Ding and Miss Linglong!" Shangguan Yu said sincerely.
"Master Shangguan is so polite. Let's not talk about the civil strife in the guild last time. Brother Jun has been a great help to our leader. Even with the friendship between us, it is only right to help!"
Ding Ding nodded quickly and said, "That's right, Tudan's business is my business!"
Xiaoxiao immediately flattened his mouth in displeasure and said, "Why is Brother Jun's business now your business?"
Ding Ding's face turned red and he snorted: "It's just my business, Tu Dan is my husband!"
"Brother Jun hasn't married you yet, so why have he become your husband? I'm not ashamed!" Xiaoxiao became even more unhappy.
"Tudan has already promised to the old man. If you are not convinced, you can ask your grandpa to let Tudan marry you!" Ding Ding curled his lips.
Xiaoxiao immediately said angrily: "I'm just not convinced, I'll tell Brother Jun not to marry you!"
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, these two people were really at odds with each other. They had hugged each other so excitedly just now when they met, but now they seemed to be the wrong doorkeeper.
Ding Qing raised her eyebrows and scolded: "Linglong, sit down for me, what a shame!"
Tintin, the little witch, was most afraid of the big witch. He sat upright angrily and angrily slapped Tiny on the back of his head. The latter tilted his head, and the two of them were sulking.
Both of them are first-class beauties, and it is pleasing to the eye to be angry, so everyone does not feel embarrassed, but looks at it with interest. Is this a scene where two women compete for a husband
Li Xiangjun lowered his head and took a sip of tea leisurely, and said with a chuckle: "Sister Qing gave our Chu army a big gift this time, but my little sister is worried about this big gift!"
Before Ding Qing could speak, Ding Ding immediately widened his eyes and said curiously: "Sister Xiangjun, what's there to worry about? Just take the Daming Mansion back!"
Li Xiangjun smiled and said: "It's not that simple. There are eight castles in the Ming Dynasty. It is not easy to completely take over and control them. The first thing is to station the city guards and replace the city lord's mansion with your own people. Our Chu army is stretched thin. !”
"Oh, that's really troublesome. We can't find some incompetent dogs and cats to be the city lords!" Ding Ding nodded in agreement.
Ding Qing glanced at Li Xiangjun and chuckled: "Sister Xiangjun, are you joking? Tianhuang Sect is full of talents. It is more than enough to find a few talents to serve as city lords. Other management talents may not be enough. If sister Xiangjun doesn't dislike it, , I can lend you some emergency support from the guild, and as for the city guard, I can also provide you with tens of thousands of people, it depends on whether you dare to use it!"
Li Xiangjun said happily: "That's great. As long as it's Sister Qing's person, we feel at ease and are not afraid to speak out. Even if Sister Qing doesn't take the initiative, we plan to borrow people from Sister Qing!"
Ding Qing glanced at Li Xiangjun approvingly, and said with a giggle: "Then it's settled, but all the people you seconded have to be raised by your own flower spirit crystals, and I don't care about that!"
Shangguan Yu said hurriedly: "Of course, all the expenses will be borne by our Tianhuang Sect!"
