East Imperial City.
The city originally stood on the Donghuang Plain and was a prosperous border city. However, since the war began, the city has been repeatedly ravaged by war and was razed to the ground several times.
Today's Donghuang City was newly built three months ago.
Looking around, the walls of the East Imperial City are low, divided into two cities, the inner and outer. In the sky-high light array, there are rows and rows of tents with clear distinctions. Other than that, there is nothing else. The decoration style highlights a Nordic minimalist style. .
Zi Zhou came flying towards him, but before he got close, someone in Donghuang City had already received the news, and a ray of light flew out and stopped in front of Zi Zhou.
"rabbit!"
"Team!"
Correcting the code, Ling Xiao jumped out of the boat, held the other person's hand, and both parties laughed.
Hanshan was out of breath at the moment. There was a big scar on the left side of his face that had just scabbed over, and he was also wrapped in a bandage.
When Ling Xiao saw this, he asked with concern: "Captain, what did you do?"
Han Shan smiled heartily, waved his hand and said: "I took out some money from a thief two days ago, it's okay! You're here, Xiaoyu has been looking forward to you these days! By the way, this is..."
He looked at old man Gongsun.
"Gongsun Mu!"
Old man Gongsun calmly introduced himself to his family.
Han Shan was awe-inspiring, bowed his hands, and said: "It turns out that Senior Gongsun has arrived!"
"Ah He, you go down first. You two, follow me!"
Hanshan took over the control of Zizhou and led the two of them through the formation light curtain that enveloped Donghuang City.
When he was about to go somewhere, he suddenly heard a loud noise, several salutes exploded into the sky, and the gorgeous fireworks were clearly visible in the daytime.
Dong dong dong...
Amidst the loud noise, there was a faint roar of people, as if there was something great happening.
"What's going on? Did you just win the battle?" Gongsun Mu asked curiously.
"No. A member of the Duan family was newly promoted to foundation building last night, and the foundation building ceremony is being held at the moment. According to the wishes of our ancestors, it should be held more grandly during special times, so it is so lively." Hanshan said.
"So that's the case, it's a happy event." Gongsun Mu nodded slightly.
When Ling Xiao heard the words, his expression moved slightly and he looked towards the largest tent in the center of the city where the celebration was being held.
Han Shan couldn't help but sigh inwardly when he saw Ling Xiao's eyes were deep and calm, and he really couldn't understand what he was thinking.
According to the ancestral system, all new foundation builders in the Northern Liang Kingdom must hold a celebration ceremony to show their status.
Only Ling Xiao is an exception.
Everyone knew that he had established the foundation, but they seemed to have forgotten about him. No one ever mentioned it.
"It's a coincidence that you two have arrived. Everyone is celebrating now, but no one is here to pay homage. Let's go!"
Zizhou escaped with hidden energy and headed towards a military camp in the corner of the inner city.
Land down.
Ling Xiao glanced at the word "jiang" on the plaque on the military camp's door and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
The Jiang family is a medium-sized immortal cultivating family in Zifengtai. Its power is not as powerful as the top five families in the imperial capital. However, even the five major families do not dare to be presumptuous in front of the Jiang family.
Because the Jiang family is one of the direct families of Zifengtai.
The direct family has absolute loyalty to Zifengtai. Outstanding clan members in the past generations will leave the family and become disciples of Zifengtai. From then on, they will act according to Zifengtai's will.
The same is true for the Jiang family where Jiang Yu lives and the Shi family where Shi Yu lives.
Without the best members of the clan, these direct families will certainly not be able to grow in power.
Likewise, no one dares to provoke them.
After all, historically, nine out of ten of the Jindan ancestors in Zifengtai were direct disciples.
For example, the contemporary Jindan ancestor Ying Jiuchuan was born in the direct line of the Ying family.
In terms of strength, the Xiao family is the number one cultivating immortal family in the Northern Liang Kingdom, but during the three hundred years that Ying Jiuchuan has been in power, the Ying family's status has always been higher than the Xiao family.
It is a pity that the Ying family has not produced any remarkable figures in recent years.
It is still unclear who will be responsible for the ups and downs of the next generation of Beiliang Kingdom.
With this information flashing through his mind, Ling Xiao smiled and stepped into the camp.
When he entered the military camp for the first time, he was quite curious and looked around, taking in everything.
Let him down.
In the military camp, there were only tents one after another, nothing else, and not even a single person could be seen. They were probably all attending the foundation building ceremony.
"Hey, where is this country boy from? What are you looking at?"
In the distance, a loud shout suddenly came.
Ling Xiao, Han Shan, and Gongsun Mu immediately stopped and turned to look.
After seeing the person clearly, Ling Xiao couldn't help but rolled his eyes and cursed: "Crazy!"
The person who came was none other than Agou.
We haven't seen each other for several years, but this kid has actually stepped into the realm of foundation building. Now he is walking in the wind, coming in a hurry.
"Rabbit smash, I miss you so much!"
Agou gave him a man's hug.
"Go, go, you're such a pervert, I'm not interested in men!" Ling Xiao pushed him away and scolded with a smile, "You didn't inform me when you were going to build the foundation?"
Agou whined, put his hands on his hips, and said proudly: "Two years ago, I wanted to tell you, but you also know that Master Gou is inseparable here!"
Ling Xiao turned to Han Shan and said, "Team Han, the quality of the frontline personnel is worrisome. No wonder it's been so long and we still haven't beaten off the traitors from Chui Yun."
Agou was furious, jumped up and punched Ling Xiao, saying, "What are you talking about!"
But he laughed first.
Then, Ling Xiao and Han Shan also laughed, making Gongsun Mu next to them look confused and confused as to why they were so crazy.
A moment.
Han Shan put away his smile and asked, "Agou, are you ready?"
"here I am!"
"Okay, Rabbit, Senior Gongsun, let's find a place to go through the registration procedures for you."
The tent was quite large and seemed to have been prepared a long time ago. Not only was it equipped with a war sand table, but there was also a series of jade slips listing war situation information on the shelves.
Everyone took the honorary seat with Gongsun Mu, and Agou hurriedly took out the roster and asked Ling Xiao and Gongsun Mu to check in with their fingerprints.
Ling Xiao did as he was told, but Gongsun Mu hesitated.
"I have come all the way here, and I haven't met my ancestor yet. It's not easy to report in private, let alone... it's better to arrange to go directly to the Jiang family camp."
Gongsun Mu shook his head and said with a worried look on his face, as if he was afraid of being betrayed.
He has been an idle man all his life, rejecting the olive branches offered by all forces, but now that he is on the front line, he will inevitably be unable to escape.
Here, alone, I don’t even know how I died.
Since he wanted to join a force, besides Zifengtai, Gongsun Mu had no second choice.
Even if the Jiang family is a direct family, Gongsun Mu still looks down upon him.
When Han Shan heard this, he was not annoyed. He just smiled and said: "Since senior has concerns, we won't force him. When the celebration is over, senior can go and meet the ancestor."
The task he received was just to arrange for Ling Xiao, but he didn't expect Gongsun Mu to arrive together.
It's best if this person can be won over, but if he can't be won over, it doesn't matter.
Han Shan looked solemn and said to Ling Xiao: "Rabbit, now you are a member of the Jiang family. Although the situation is still very bad, Xiaoyu has said hello. At least the Jiang family will never make things difficult for you!"
