Before the younger generation of elites could fully recover from the battle in the desert, they followed the envoy group led by Ji Luoxue and set out for the Southern Barbarian mountains. The Kingdom of Yunxiao also mobilized millions of troops, and batches of troops crossed over. Crossed the high mountains and joined the battlefield.
The Yunxiao Kingdom has invested a lot. On the one hand, the strength of the Canghai Kingdom in the southern region is indeed strong. Half of the barbarian tribes themselves have rebelled. In the past, a million troops could not help them resist the attack. On the other hand, helping the barbarian tribes is not only because the opponent is the Yunxiao Kingdom. Allies, and because the Nanman Mountains are the natural barrier to the south of the Yunxiao Kingdom, if it falls into the hands of the Canghai Kingdom, it will be equivalent to the south of the Yunxiao Kingdom being wide open, which is very dangerous.
Compared with when they first arrived outside the customs more than half a year ago, the Southern Expedition Envoy Group has undergone a qualitative improvement, and everyone's strength has at least improved by one level.
Ji Luo Indeed, he is the most promising person to become the future ruler of the kingdom.
The young masters of major aristocratic families were once again eager to try and capture Ji Luoxue, and the families behind them also began to provide full support.
Now is no longer the era of decentralization of power among aristocratic families, but the dominance of the imperial power. Whoever can get close to the royal family will have a higher status.
Every force has an unspoken consensus: No matter how talented Ji Luoxue is, she is just a female. After a few decades, she will sit on the throne of the king, and her husband will be able to control the government and even change the royal family. .
The envoy group finally arrived at Nanman, and all the princes once again showed their hospitality. Top figures of the younger generation, including Qi Feng and Chu Yi, visited Ji Luoxue's camp every day. Some princes who did not have any hope of capturing Ji Luoxue were under family pressure. Next, I have to please you in every way.
There are also a very few who are unmoved, such as Qin Mu, who is having a fierce fight with the barbarian princess Manjiao, and Chu Tiankuo, who never comes off the battlefield. He kills countless enemies every day to hone his swordsmanship. He was also once beaten. Although Qi Shun, who is known as the future leader of the kingdom, has also reached the Earth Martial Realm, he seems to have completely fallen silent. He does not lead troops to fight, let alone appear in front of Ji Luoxue. He has become a transparent person in the army. It is said that he is completely ignorant of the royal family. Disappointed, not at all effective.
Ji Luoxue truly showed her ability. She first broke into the Earth Martial Realm, then personally formulated tactics with various marshals, and fought several great victories. Within a month, she pacified the barbarian tribes, wiped out hundreds of thousands of Canghai Kingdom's troops, and let The young men of the younger generation lamented their shame.
He is extremely talented, unparalleled in beauty, has an extraordinary IQ, and is terrifyingly talented... Among all the princes in the kingdom, none of them is truly worthy of him.
Maybe there is a person... But that person is no longer in the kingdom and can never come back.
Winter has finally arrived, and even the mountains of the Southern Barbarians are covered with flying snow. Ji Luoxue walks out of the tent wearing a mink fur coat, followed closely by the commander of the guards: "Your Highness, the mountains have been closed by heavy snow, and there has been no fighting in recent days. You'd better be well." Rest. You haven't slept for seven days, and you can't stand it even at the Earth Martial Realm..."
"Nothing. I'm going to inspect the construction of counterattack fortifications, encourage the generals of the three armies, and then go to the staff camp..."
Ji Luoxue talked about her itinerary plan to the commander of the imperial guards. Her face was a little haggard, and there were a lot of snowflakes hanging on her black mink fur, which made her look even more pitiful.
"Your Highness, take a rest." Seeing her like this, the commander of the imperial guards couldn't stand it anymore. "Finally, I have some rest. Just let my subordinates handle those chores. I'll help you cancel all your schedules."
"no."
Ji Luoxue shook her head: "The matters here in the Southern Barbarians must be resolved as soon as possible... The Gilded Kingdom is the kingdom's most serious concern. We must help His Majesty avoid the worries here as soon as possible."
The commander of the imperial guards frowned and said: "General Mo will not understand what His Highness said. The vitality of the Gilded Kingdom has been severely damaged. There will be no danger to the kingdom in ten or twenty years, right?"
Ji Luo There are dozens of people who are strong in the Earth Martial Realm, and their own cultivation has reached the eighth level of the Spiritual Martial Realm, and his two martial arts spirits have recovered to the eighth level... In a few years, his strength may be as good as His Majesty's."
The commander of the imperial guards was startled for a moment: "We should send our spies and traitors to kill him before he grows to a particularly terrifying level!"
Ji Luoxue smiled bitterly and said: "Do you think His Majesty didn't send anyone? It's just that they all fell into the sea and there was no reply... I wish I had known that he was not completely destroyed. I had such a good opportunity to win him over from the Qi family... What a pity." He is your Majesty’s and my biggest enemy on the Tianluo Continent, bar none.”
“…”
The commander of the imperial guard remained silent. The young man who appeared like a meteor every time really had a huge energy. Before his treason, he was definitely the idol of all the young people in the kingdom. If he had extended a hand when he was at his most dejected, he wouldn't be in his current situation.
Ji Luoxue glanced at the north, her eyes seemed to have traveled hundreds of thousands of miles in an instant, and sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity. He is very hateful now. If such a genius cannot be used by us, then he will be destroyed."
…
Due to Qi Ying secretly slacking off in practicing and pondering formations, the Gilded Kingdom completely put down the rebellion of the three major tribes half a month later than planned. When the Northern Expedition Army left the snowy mountains, the snowy fields of Nuo Da were already thousands of miles away. It was frozen, and it took Qi Ying and others almost half a month to return to the Gilt Capital. By the time Qi Ying set foot on the streets of the Gilt Capital, there were only ten days left before the new year according to the mainland calendar.
And the new gilded king was established on the eve of the new year.
In the Champion House, a group of maids and servants are already busy decorating it. The entire house is hung with countless red ribbons. Private soldiers are constantly patrolling outside the house to prevent troublesome children from throwing them at the walls of the house. Shit, ruining the festive atmosphere.
Qi Ying spent half a day in seclusion, consolidating his cultivation that he had just reached the ninth level of the Lingwu Realm on his way back. He walked out of the secret room and entered the courtyard. Not many maids and servants around him greeted him.
Qi Ying didn't care about this either. He walked out of the Champion Marquis' Mansion and walked towards the palace. Firstly, he went to see Tuoba Kuangfeng, and secondly, he wanted to see how the Gilded Kingdom spent the New Year. He vaguely remembered that he liked it in the Wuming City. I set off firecrackers in the snow, and once I blew up the chicken coop at the aunt's house next door. I was chased and beaten by the aunt with a bamboo pole.
Walking on the street, Qi Ying looked at the crowded pedestrians in front of the New Year's stalls and felt lost. He had just passed the Full Moon Festival without his relatives, and now he was even more alone during the New Year.
The Gilded Kingdom seems to pay more attention to the New Year than the Yunxiao Kingdom. Every shop is decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and pedestrians on the road are beaming with joy. As night falls, the sound of countless firecrackers echoes in the city, and countless dazzling fireworks shine in the black sky.
"Ah."
Qi Ying pulled the collar of the mink fur on her body, covered half of her face, and hurried towards the palace.
The street was very lively, Qi Ying did not stop, he knew that the joy belonged to others, and he was just a spectator.
