As early as three or five days ago, Lord Qingping had returned from the capital city of Na'an, but everyone at the Beiyanze border guard could tell that something was very wrong. Not to mention that there had been no sign of this commander in the past few days. The weirdest thing is that even the sergeant who usually delivers drinks was blocked outside the commander's tent, and no one was allowed to set foot for several days. Even Jiang Banlang, who had a broken arm, and Yun Yiliang, Liu Qing, usually had the closest relationship. The other three people could not get even half a step closer.
The last two attacks of monsters were not as powerful as in the past. Thousands of monsters emerged from the water at every turn. Moreover, since Liu Qing came to help, such mighty monsters emerged from the water. The oncoming scene is no longer easy to achieve some results. With the ability of this large array, it is definitely not difficult to stop some monsters who are not very capable. After all, the masters of the four realms are proficient in formations, monsters The most difficult thing to deal with evil spirits is their numbers. With Liu Qing in charge, the number of casualties among border guards has become even lower. In the end, there were actually two or three monsters charging into the formation, but no one lost their life.
As early as several years ago, Qing Pingjun and Yun Yiliang had discussed whether they could invite a few people who were above the third realm to build formations and had begun to have skills. However, people who built formations were rare in the world, and even more so. What's more, the formation diagrams are scarce. If you have not entered the third realm or have extraordinary talents, you can only use the formation diagrams in your master's sect to practice. Since there are not many formation diagrams, the means must be low, let alone those who come here all year round. In the bitter cold land, there is always danger of death. Even if the two of them thought of countless tricks, they had to give up in the end. Now that Liu Qing has come, no matter what, they are very happy.
However, the monsters in the Northern Yanze have experienced the power of the Four Realm Formations several times, and they seem to know that they can no longer suppress them like sea monsters as usual. After a long period of silence, there were only more than ten big monsters in the end. The demons came across the water. Although the number was far less than usual, they were all close to the third realm and had already reached the fourth realm. Two of them had even vaguely entered the fourth realm.
If it were an ordinary monk in the Four Realms, it would not necessarily be able to stir up waves, but these ten or so monsters were the best at making waves. They were almost tens of feet high and the tide came down, forcing them to resist the formation to protect Guanyingpan City here. Without losing the head, Liu Qing, who was as strong as Liu Qing, had no choice but to use a large formation to block the rising tide, not to mention that there were scattered monsters above the tide waiting for opportunities to attack. Although he resisted with all his strength, there were still a lot of casualties. Many border guards who had not set foot in the three realms were killed by the tide and the dozen or so monsters. Jiang Banlang was one against three, and he couldn't dodge and was attacked by the fierce monster. The violent tide hit them, and the two big monsters withstood Yun Yiliang's countless sword energy and Qingpingjun's punches. With the solid body of an ordinary practitioner, they tore off Jiang Banlang's left arm. The trauma was not shallow, but in the end he recovered completely.
Although there were many casualties after the First World War, Jiang Banlang lost a left arm, but he didn't care much about it. He wrapped his shoulders and arms hastily and went to beg for a drink with Yun Yiliang Qingpingjun as usual, so as not to have to say some weird words about it. He is a high-ranking person, and the drinks are always provided in a timely manner. If he doesn't come and drink frequently, I'm afraid he won't be able to get rid of his greed at all, and he won't be able to be as smooth as he is when facing the monster tide.
Half a day after that deadly battle, Lord Qingping gave a brief briefing and walked out of Beiyanze Border Pass alone, heading straight to the imperial city of Na'an. The round trip only took a few days. He probably used all his cultivation to make a thousand miles and returned home. The season at Chengguan passed three days in a row, and the first thing I did when I came out of the tent was to throw an object that looked like a loach and a snake to Jiang Banlang, and its whole body was like jade.
Liu Qing and Yun Yiliang finally sat in the handsome tent.
Qingping Jun was unfolding several pieces of messy rice paper and writing something with a pen. He was completely unaware of the two people sitting in front of him and was still frowning and waving his pen. After a long time, he raised his head and came back to his senses. A dirty face was revealed. A little thin smile.
Needless to say, Yun Yiliang could already guess what was written on the messy rice paper in front of him.
This is also a trivial matter that must be done every time there is a monster attack at the North Yanze border. Each battalion must first count the remaining border guards, then transfer them to the commander's account, and then set up a tomb according to this list. After all, monsters have always been cruel in their methods. Even if a corpse is left, it may not be a complete corpse. Often there are only limbs, limbs, or half of the body left, which is extremely difficult to identify.
"From now on, it's best for us to count them together. There are too many people dead. If we look at them by ourselves, we will inevitably feel uncomfortable."
Mr. Qingping did not wear the phoenix-patterned brocade today, but just threw up his long robe casually. It was obvious that the summer time had not passed yet, but people around Beiyanze could no longer wear short clothes, and the cold air in the tent was getting thicker. Soon it will be time to wear thick clothes again.
Zuo Yun Yiliang said nothing, but his expression was quite ugly.
"The object that the commander handed over to Sect Master Jiang not long ago has been seen in ancient books. It is a treasure that can be compared with heavenly objects or even spiritual treasures. It is called earth marrow and grows in places where dragon veins are dormant. Now that times have changed, it has It is an extremely rare object, life and death, flesh and blood, and a broken arm are not a problem, but I dare to ask the commander where it was obtained."
Qingping Jun was startled, then he laughed out loud and said, "Brother Liu, do you think I, a person from the Four Realms, really have no wealth at all? Even though I wholeheartedly fight against the monsters in the Northern Yanze, the General Manager of the General Mansion will not be destitute. Back then, During the time when we travel around the world, we are quite blessed. How could we still survive in such a dangerous world? You two are very thoughtful. If you have such skills, you might as well sleep for two hours and recuperate. Full of energy and energy.”
Yun Yiliang, who had not spoken yet, took out a document with a gold seal and a Zhu pen from his arms, and placed it on the table. His expression did not change much, and he just said calmly, "This document was sent from Da Jingcheng." , the messenger was from the Third Realm. He came non-stop since you left Beijing, but it was delivered to me. It contained military supplies for the next ten years, as well as strong bows, crossbows, swords, guns and axes, and even several There is a list of hundreds of cultivators. When did you, Lord Qingping, have such a good relationship with Saint Qi that you could make him so violent?"
He still wanted to hide it, but seeing that the expressions of the two people in front of him were not good-looking, Qingpingjun hesitated for a moment and laughed twice.
Liu Qing lowered her eyebrows and put her hands on the table. She was looking at the map of mountains and rivers carefully. Yun Yiliang looked at Qing Pingjun's face and could not see the slightest anger. However, Qingping Jun didn't believe that these two people were extremely thoughtful. The deep Lord can give up and let go today.
"There are so many things that can't be said between uncles and nephews. Moreover, I have never cared about the position of the king of that country. Some people have always been afraid that I would care about it. Now I have made my words clear. I kowtow respectfully and say "Long Live the Holy One." Naturally, it is solved. After all, the blood is thick, so how can we spend too much money?"
"The weather has been bad these past two days. Why haven't I seen Qingping-kun wearing that brocade?"
It was Liu Qing who spoke this time, looking at Qing Pingjun with a smile, "I heard that the brocade has never been stained by dust, and it looks like new after a few shakes. Qingping Jun rarely fades, so he went there once Jingcheng, why don’t you wear it anymore?”
"To this day, it's really a shame to keep it from me and other brothers who have been through life and death." Yun Yiliang also supported.
Lord Qingping lowered his eyebrows for a long time, and finally stood up, took the brocade with phoenix pattern from the depths of the commander's tent, sighed, and finally told the truth.
There are only a few pieces of Shang Qi phoenix brocade in the world. It was made by an edict issued by the old saint of Shang Qi and distributed to several brothers who went out to fight to protect the country. There were only six pieces in total. They died on the battlefield, or They died of serious illness due to years of fighting. There are five of them. Now there is only one Qingpingjun left who has this phoenix-patterned brocade. In addition to being able to avoid death and sin, this robe can also be used in times of crisis when the emperor is ill and can order the whole country to fight. This is the only one that he has now, and he has always been afraid of the emperor. He is afraid that Lord Qingping will use it to seek power, so he even uses it. He is an uncle and nephew. Over the years, he has always been on guard and refused to allow Lord Qingping to step into the middle of the capital. Moreover, because his opinions were inconsistent, Lord Qingping left the capital on his own and came to Beiyanze to defend against the monsters. After that, he never came back. There are many helping hands.
"This dress is not that much, but there is a tiger talisman printed on the hem of the dress, which can be used to mobilize troops and generals. As the head of the military attache, seeing this is like seeing the Holy One. When I went to the capital a few days ago, I will take off this square tiger talisman and give it to my nephew, so that he can feel at ease."
The short man stroked the brocade gently, but his face was filled with emotion for no reason.
"I think back then, someone almost took over the throne. That's why my nephew was always like a ray of light on his back, like a sword hanging from a beam. Now I offer this square tiger talisman to remove his status as the royal family of Shang Qi and ask for it. The Beiyanze Border Pass has not lacked supplies, food and clothing for ten years, and there is no shortage of practitioners. Although I don’t know where my nephew found the practitioners and how much it cost him, he still tried his best with his meager efforts. Guard this gate well."
Both of them were speechless and didn't know how to speak.
As the current emperor's uncle, he can mobilize the entire country's military armor and tiger talismans. These two things are priceless no matter where they are obtained. But now Qingpingjun is underestimating the hundreds of cultivators who have spent ten years in isolation and have nothing to pay.
"Since the death of Qian Yulong, it seems that there are not many people who were acquainted with us at that time. Monk Kuchan died near the end of the New Year last year. Normally, there must be a few days between the monsters' attacks. That time But the attacks came several days in a row. If he hadn't discovered the demon tide during the vigil, the casualties would have been even more serious. Lu Zhaolin, that kid, entered the second realm at a young age. Seeing that the third realm was not far away, he tried to stop the monsters in March. , wait for me to wait for a few people to hold the battle, surrounded by hundreds of monsters, not even half of the bones are left, so I have to set up an empty tomb for this kid. After careful calculation, even an acquaintance who I met four or five years ago seems to be dead. There are a few left.”
Qingpingjun was talking to himself, rattling off many names as if talking about family matters, and finally moved his eyes to the faces of the two of them.
"Posterity generations probably can't remember how many people died in Beiyanze, let alone the relatives of the emperor, Hu Fu, and the emperor's uncle. If they can exchange for the conditions required for ten years of peace, they are nothing."
"At least I and a few others can sit here, have a few words, and drink a bottle of wine."
