There were almost twenty people in Kong Ming's group, and together with three carriages, they formed a long queue in front of the city gate.
There were many soldiers holding weapons standing on the city gate. One of them, who looked like a general in charge, was standing on the city gate, shouting to Kong Ming and others: "Who is coming? Don't you know that the border is in an emergency, Yunxia City Are there any curfew regulations?"
Lei Ming bowed his hand to Kong Ming, then stepped out of the crowd and shouted to the general at the city gate: "I came from Cangjun and really didn't know that Yunxia City would implement a curfew. However, it is not dark now, even if there is a curfew, Why don't you close the city gate so early? I have something important to do. I wonder if this military master can be of convenience and let me enter the city. Thank you very much."
When Lei Ming said these words, he had already mobilized his energy and released a little bit of his momentum. Most of the soldiers guarding the city gate were ordinary soldiers. Even the leading general was just a Yuan practitioner who had just started. After sensing the thunderous momentum, his expression naturally changed drastically.
Cultivators have always been superior to ordinary people. The general who only had the cultivation level of an entry-level Yuan practitioner could not see what level Lei Ming's specific cultivation level had reached, but he also knew that a figure like Lei Ming could reach a certain level with a wave of his hand. In just a short time, he can kill an entry-level cultivator like himself, let alone the ordinary soldiers around him.
Fortunately, Yunxia City is an important border town. The city wall is not only tall, but also equipped with formation prohibition protection, which greatly increases the defense power. Even a Yuan Jiang-level powerhouse cannot easily destroy the city wall. With this layer of support, the general at the city gate had some confidence, but he still did not dare to offend a cultivator whose cultivation level far exceeded his own. He quickly raised his hand politely and said: "It turns out it's senior. Come on, please forgive me if this junior is rude in any way. However, there is a strict order in the city capital, and the curfew time is from dusk until the early morning of the next day. The junior's responsibilities are really unable to facilitate the senior and others. However, the senior's With my cultivation level, even if I camp outside the city for one night, there won’t be any surprises. After the curfew is lifted the next day, how about the juniors welcoming the seniors and others into the city?"
Although this general is only an entry-level Yuanshi, he must be outstanding in being able to guard the city gate. At least judging from his speech and behavior, he can indeed be regarded as a well-rounded person.
Lei Ming couldn't make the decision on his own, so he stepped back and said to Kong Ming: "Master, what should I do?"
Kong Ming smiled slightly, but took a step forward on his own, then raised his hand towards the city gate, and saw a jade-colored brilliance, just like this, cast onto the city gate!
There are defensive restrictions on the city walls of Yunxia City. When the jade-colored brilliance hit the city gate, a wave of air was seen in the void, and an invisible protective shield was automatically generated between the lightning and stone fire, blocking the jade-colored brilliance. .
But what is Kong Ming’s strength today? His control over the four elements of the elemental power in his body has reached an extremely wonderful level. When he threw the jade-colored brilliance, there were already several elements of elemental power hidden in it. When the jade-colored brilliance just came into contact with the city protection restriction, , the Yuan Power hidden in it suddenly burst out, and several brilliant rays of Yuan Power suddenly flashed in the air.
As these Yuanli lights flickered, the jade-colored brilliance easily passed through the defensive restrictions on the city wall and fell in front of the general who was protecting the city.
The general who defended the city was shocked, because he knew how powerful the defensive restrictions on the city wall were, but the man under the city wall was able to break through the restrictions with a casual throw and throw something unknown onto the city wall. Such methods It was so clever that it was beyond his cognition!
Such a powerful person wouldn't be a marshal-level powerhouse, right
When he thought of this possibility, the city guard general was suddenly shocked. Seeing the jade-colored brilliance falling in front of his eyes, he immediately stretched out his hands respectfully and caught the jade-colored brilliance.
As soon as the jade-colored brilliance fell into his hands, the city guard general was shocked again, because this object with jade-colored brilliance was exactly a square jade seal. According to the official system of the Cangnan Empire, those who can use jade materials as seals must be nobles with a title!
Obviously, the group of people outside the city should come from wealthy families with noble titles.
The general who protected the city did not dare to show any slightness, and looked at the jade seal carefully. In a moment, he could clearly see the inscription on the seal: Dang Kou General Kong Ming!
As soon as he saw these six words, the city guard general immediately knew the origin of this group of people under the city wall!
As early as more than half a year ago, news came from the imperial capital that the rising star of the Kong family, Kong Ming, who was known as the number one young talent in the imperial capital, had just held his sixteenth-year-old coming-of-age ceremony and was conferred the title of "Kong Ming" by Emperor Hood. The fifth-grade Dangkou general received the title of viscount and was granted the title of Yunxia City!
As soon as the news came out at that time, it caused quite a stir among the upper class of Yunxia City. Everyone was talking about whether this new viscount would become a fierce dragon after coming to Yunxia City.
It's a pity that more than half a year has passed, and not even Kong Ming's shadow has been seen, as if he was not prepared to go to Yunxia City to die.
How could an ordinary person dare to disobey the emperor's orders when he was ennobled? But the direct descendants of the Confucius family are naturally treated differently. Even with the power of an emperor, it may not be able to make the disciples of the Confucius family fearful. Besides, although Yunxia City is an important border town, in terms of prosperity and wealth, compared with the imperial capital, it is a completely rural and poor place.
The young geniuses of the Kong family all have a great reputation in the imperial capital. It is really normal for them not to want to suffer in a poor place like Yunxia City.
In short, as Kong Ming delayed his arrival, fewer and fewer people talked about him in Yunxia City. However, with the appearance of this seal, it means that Kong Ming, the newly promoted Viscount, has finally arrived in Yunxia City!
Viscount is only Kong Ming's title. His real official position is that of a fifth-grade bandit general. Although this general rank does not directly belong to the army, he can be regarded as an important military minister, because the military commander of Yunxia City is only a fifth-grade official, on the same level as Kong Ming.
The leader of Yunxia City has a fourth-grade official title, but he does not have the authority to directly command the military. Even if he issued a curfew order, he could not control the military generals. Even if Kong Ming is not a viscount conferred by Yunxia City, he can ignore the so-called curfew and directly enter Yunxia City as a fifth-grade bandit general!
