The next day, before dawn, Xu Ning woke up from his sleep.
This night, Xu Ning only slept for three hours.
But three hours is completely enough for him now.
With Xu Ning's current strength in the dynamic environment, even if he does not sleep for several days in a row, his body functions will not degrade too much.
The improvement of the realm of internal strength is itself a process of constantly opening up the limits of the body.
After Xu Ning got up, he went to the yard to wash with cold water.
Tao Qingping hadn't gotten up yet, and Xu Ning was careful not to make too much noise.
Tao Qingping has been quite tired lately, not only has he shared a lot of chores for Xu Ning, but also as a guard, he has to do things by himself, so the workload is much greater than that of Xu Ning, the captain.
After washing and returning to the room, Xu Ning was not in a hurry to change.
There is still an hour before the time to go to the Commander's Mansion to participate in the meeting.
After basically tidying up, Xu Ning walked to the table and picked up an earthen jar on the table.
This crock was not big, only the size of a palm, and the lid on it was pierced with a few small holes.
Xu Ning was very careful when he picked up the earthen jar. What was inside was the Qianyuan insect eggs that Liu Yijian had given to Xu Ning before.
Xu Ning has already learned a lot about the Qianyuan insect eggs from Wei Binglin and Wei Zicheng.
Qianyuan eggs will hatch on their own, and the hatching environment does not need special construction, unlike some ordinary eggs, which need a humid environment.
Breeders only need to place the eggs of the thousand source insects in a dry place, and they can absorb the aura in the air by themselves to hatch.
Xu Ning took off the lid and looked into the earthen jar.
At this time, it was just dawn, and the room was still pitch black, but the strength of the aerodynamic environment allowed Xu Ning to see things very clearly.
"Um?"
The moment the jar was opened, Xu Ning suddenly discovered that the insect eggs that had been lying quietly in the jar had broken open.
Only a thin transparent shell was left of the eggs, and beside it, a fat white worm whose shape and size were very similar to cabbage caterpillars was writhing its body.
This white and fat bug is milky white all over, bulging, and it is impossible to tell where is the head and which is the tail.
Under its body, there are two strings of tiny black spots.
Xu Ning observed it, only to find that it was the foot of the fat white bug.
"It hatched."
Xu Ning smiled.
According to what Wei Binglin and his sister said, once the thousand source insects hatch, they will expel aura crystals from their bodies every few days.
As the thousand source worms continue to grow, the quality of the spiritual energy it expels will gradually increase.
Generally speaking, a thousand source worm has a life cycle of ten years, which is not of the same order of magnitude as ordinary worms.
In the past ten years, the thousand source insects can produce a large number of spiritual energy crystals.
Moreover, it is very easy to raise this thousand-source worm, as long as it is not harmed, you don't need to worry about its food and drink, after all, it only absorbs spiritual energy.
"This thousand source insect, what did it look like curled up in the egg before..."
The eggs of the thousand source insects before were only the size of a grain of rice, but after hatching, the thousand source insects were as big as a small cabbage caterpillar.
Xu Ning tentatively poked the fat white bug with his hand.
After feeling Xu Ning's touch, the white fat bug suddenly writhed wildly.
But it is very bulky, twisted for a long time, still in place.
Xu Ning turned the white fat bug over and poked its stomach.
At this time, Bai Pang Chongzi froze suddenly and remained motionless.
"Play dead?"
Xu Ning was happy.
He touched the fat white bug with his fingers, and could clearly feel its vitality.
Sure enough, Xu Ning stopped poking it, and the white fat bug turned over by itself, and lay still on its stomach again.
After studying it over and over again, Xu Ning closed the lid.
The current Xu Ning is looking forward to the spiritual energy crystallization emitted by the thousand source insects.
He also wanted to know if this spiritual energy crystallization could be absorbed by him.
Two quarters of an hour passed, and Xu Ning saw Tao Qingping wake up. After he washed up, the two changed into black armored guards and went to the breakfast stall outside Fengliu Alley.
After eating breakfast, Tao Qingping went back to Fengliu Lane Weiyi, while Xu Ning went to the Commander's Mansion.
…
It's time for the meeting to start.
The meeting hall of the Commander's Mansion was already full of people.
In the upper seat of the assembly hall, sat Wei Changqing and three captains.
Below, a total of more than twenty black-armored captains sat upright with their backs straight.
Xu Ning had the lowest qualifications, so he consciously sat at the back.
"Today's meeting is of great importance."
Wei Changqing didn't procrastinate. When he saw people coming together, he said directly: "Everyone is already aware of the rebellion of the Heijiawei in Dingyun County, so I won't go into too much detail."
"It's just that I have to tell everyone that according to the latest information we have obtained, the rebellious Black Armored Guards in Dingyun County are ready to occupy Qiuyun County and may launch a siege at any time."
As soon as Wei Changqing said this, the faces of the captains below all changed.
Since Wei Changqing said so, war is inevitable.
The stable situation in Feiyun Prefecture for the past 30 years is finally about to be broken.
"It stands to reason that Yunying City should provide reinforcements when this kind of thing happens. But to our regret, the news from Yunying City is that the surrounding counties should resolve the rebellion by themselves."
When Wei Changqing said this, his expression was weird.
This order completely exceeded Wei Changqing's expectations.
Based on his experience in Yunying City for so many years, Wei Changqing knew very well that for internal rebellion, the upper echelon of the Black Armor Guard should have zero tolerance, making such a decision is confusing.
After hearing the news, Wei Changqing almost subconsciously suspected that something was wrong with some of the senior members of the Black Armor Guard.
But there is no way, the reality is here, they can only solve this crisis situation by themselves.
Sure enough, after hearing what Wei Changqing said, the faces of all the captains were solemn.
"According to the information in front of us and the interrogation of the Demon Sect warriors, we learned that the Black Armored Guard rebellion in Dingyun County was driven by a Demon Sect organization called the Shadow Blood Sect."
"And this Shadow Blood Sect is also the promoter of the previous exposure of Demon Sect warriors in our Kangyun County."
Wei Changqing's words echoed in everyone's ears.
"Sure enough..."
Behind the crowd, Xu Ning had a clear look in his eyes.
This is the same as what he had guessed before, the appearance of the Demon Sect warriors, and the occurrence of the Black Armored Guard rebellion, the two occurred at the same time, and there is indeed a connection.
"Shadow Blood Faction?"
Except for Xu Ning, the few senior captains all froze when they heard the name of the Shadow Blood Sect.
Wei Changqing looked at the expressions of these people and said, "Everyone, it seems that some of you know the existence of the Shadow Blood Sect..."
"That's right, this Shadow Blood Sect is the local Demon Sect faction of Liewu State."
"The local magic sect forces in Liewu State?"
After hearing this, Xu Ning was taken aback.
The Shadow Blood Faction is actually a faction from another state.
Feiyun State is not the only big state in this world, but compared to other big states, Feiyun has been integrated and unified, while most other big states are still in a state of fragmentation.
This Liewu State is in the southeast of Feiyun State.
Inside the Liewu State, the major forces are divided. Even the Demon Sect can take root in that environment. Unlike Feiyun State, the Demon Sect has almost no room for survival.
Feiyun Prefecture and Liewu Prefecture are in direct contact with Dingyun County, where the rebellion has already occurred.
As for Qiuyun County and Kangyun County, they are both very close to Dingyun County and almost adjacent to Liewu Prefecture.
"This time of turmoil... the man behind the scenes is Lie Wuzhou..."
Xu Ning didn't expect it either.
The civil war in Liewu State continued, and the internal disputes had not yet been resolved.
But at this time, they turned around and extended their hands to Feiyun State.
This is really incomprehensible.
