Shanyu Pass, the eastern pass of the Daxia Dynasty!
The eastern part of Shanyuguan is adjacent to the Cangming Dynasty, the southeast is connected to the Murong Dynasty, and the southwest is across the river from the Augu Dynasty. The geographical location can be said to be the real top priority!
Even three points more important than Beiguan Biancheng!
If you are not careful, Daxia will fall, and Cangming, Aogu, and Murong can march in!
Therefore, Shanyu Pass has more guards than the other three major passes, with a total strength of 2.5 million!
Wang Jie, the guard general of the Mountain Territory Pass, has a cultivation level of the sixth level of the Divine Transformation Stage. He also has four generals of the Divine Transformation Stage under his command, who are divided into cities to control the Mountain Territory Pass and jointly guard the Mountain Territory Pass!
at this time.
Fucheng, a tribe in Guanzhong, a mountainous area.
Wang Jie summoned his four generals to discuss matters in the city lord's palace!
The atmosphere was quite solemn.
"Everyone, please express your opinions. What should I do now?"
"Cangming and Augu are ready to make a move. Now even the Murong Dynasty has begun to mobilize troops frequently. It is obvious that there is a big move. How should we make a decision?"
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man, with eyebrows drawn into his temples and a majestic air.
He is Wang Jie, the guard at the eastern pass!
He looks about fifty years old, but in fact he is over a thousand years old, and he has been guarding the mountain pass for three hundred years!
At this time, he frowned and looked at the four subordinate generals in the hall with a serious expression.
"Didn't the general submit a border report to the Xia Palace two days ago? Hasn't there been any response yet?" one of the generals asked.
"No!"
Wang Jie shook his head and said with a heavy face: "I heard that the Xia Palace has not been very peaceful these days!"
"The late king has fallen, and there is no one in charge of the palace. If there are treacherous ministers in charge, the crown prince's ascension to the throne may not be so smooth. I hope nothing will happen!"
Hearing this, all four people in the field looked solemn.
The news of Qin Wuhen's ascension to the throne was not only known to the Xia King's City, but also to some cities closer to the Xia King's City, but it had not yet spread throughout the Great Xia Dynasty.
The eastern pass is far away from Xiawang City. If no one reports specifically, it will take at least five or six days for the news to reach here.
therefore.
The entire Shanyuguan, including Wang Jie, did not know that Qin Wuhen had ascended the throne.
Of course, there may be some forces with ulterior motives that already know about this matter, but knowing Wang Jie's upright character, no one is stupid enough to tell him about it.
"General, how about I go to the Xia Palace in person and report this matter to His Highness the Crown Prince, and ask His Highness the Crown Prince to make a decision!"
In the mansion, a general suddenly stood up and said.
Hearing this, Wang Jie frowned slightly, then nodded and said, "That's fine!"
"But before that, you first go to Ziyang City and ask General Zhou about the situation there. If the situation is not good, then report the news from both levels back to the Xia Palace!"
Ziyang City is the main city at the southern pass of Daxia, and it is guarded by the southern pass guard Zhou Jielun!
"Yes! General!" The general nodded.
"Um!"
Wang Jie nodded slightly and looked at the general with a solemn expression: "Remember, you must tell the crown prince the news in person, not through other people's mouths!"
"Now we don't know what the situation is like in the Xia Palace, no one can be gullible!"
"I will obey your orders!"
"Go!"
Wang Jie nodded.
The youngest of the four generals in the mansion has been with him for hundreds of years. He can rest assured no matter who he leaves this matter to!
"I will retire at the end!"
The general nodded and was about to leave.
However!
at this time!
Inside the mansion, a clear chuckle suddenly sounded: "No need to go!"
"It seems that General Wang is indeed loyal to Daxia. Your Majesty will be very pleased if he finds out!"
"who?!"
The expressions of Wang Jie and the other five people suddenly changed!
After hearing the sound, they saw a handsome young man in white clothes with two long swords on his back, walking out of the shadows of the room and looking at them with a smile!
"Who are you?!"
Wang Jie looked wary.
Even with his cultivation at the sixth level of the Divine Transformation Realm, he couldn't even sense when this person came. This person's cultivation was definitely far above him!
"General Wang, don't be nervous!"
The young man carrying the sword smiled slightly, took out a dark sign from his arms, threw it to Wang Jie, and said: "Li Xiaoyao, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, has come to Shanyuguan to do something on your Majesty's orders!"
"Commander of the Imperial Guard?"
Wang Jie frowned, and the other four people also looked at each other.
--------------------------
Beiguan, Biancheng.
City Lord's Mansion.
Qian Xi walked in and saw a middle-aged scribe with a calm demeanor sitting in the mansion drinking tea.
Surprisingly, it is Xiguan Dragon City guard Li Yu!
However, his figure is thin, his skin is fair, and he is dressed in blue and white clothes. He does not have the majesty of a first-level guard at all. Instead, he looks like a scholar, frail.
"How did you come?"
Seeing the middle-aged man, Qian Xi frowned slightly and went straight to the other side of the house to sit down. At the same time, he said: "The late king Qin Jie fell on the southwest border and hundreds of thousands of mountain demons fled. He will definitely not give up easily!"
"If the demons come back, you, Xiguan Dragon City, will be the first to bear the brunt!"
"Moreover, at this time, if others find out that you are not in charge of Dragon City, Xiguan will be in chaos, which will be detrimental to our plan!"
Li Yu smiled softly when he heard this, took a sip of tea in a leisurely manner, and said, "Don't worry, if I want to leave, who in the entire northwest border can discover my whereabouts?"
Qian Xi nodded slightly and said, "Then what are you doing here now? What if the people sent by King Xia go to your side first?"
Li Yu shook his head and said: "No! Jicheng is the closest to you!"
"I'm just worried, so I came here to take a look!"
"It's been two days, and there's been no movement here in Jicheng. If we send experts here, it's time to arrive, unless he sends a large army to suppress it!"
Qian Xi nodded and frowned: "I don't know why, but I always feel a little uneasy today, as if something is about to happen!"
"Maybe I'm overthinking it!"
Li Yu shook his head and said: "If something happens in Jicheng, we will stand still. The first people the court will hold accountable will definitely be our two northwest passes. If they send people here, they will not get past us. Otherwise, what is the point of sending people?"
Qian Xi said: "I will send someone to Jicheng later to have a look!"
"That's fine!"
Li Yu nodded slightly. Jicheng was not far from Beiguan Biancheng. At the flying speed of a golden elixir monk, it only took half an hour to go back and forth.
"correct!"
As if remembering something, Li Yu suddenly asked: "Are you related to the Wang family in Jicheng?"
Qian Xi nodded: "A hundred years ago, a demon in the Return to Void Stage ran out of Shiwan Mountain. I followed the late king to suppress it. The former king fought with the Demon in the Return to Void Stage, but I was injured by the demon's men. At the critical moment , it was the ancestor of the Wang family, Wang Jianlin, who saved me!"
"I see!"
Li Yu nodded.
He and Qian Xi are both Nangong Aotian's former subordinates, and they are also closely related to the Nangong family.
When the news of Nangong Aotian's death came, he originally wanted to take matters into his own hands and conquer the cities in the northwest region to cause some trouble for the court.
However, Qian Xi stopped him and said that he would first send someone to test the court's bottom line, and finally sent the Wang family of Jicheng to seize the city.
Li Yu was still a little confused, but he didn't expect that the two had such a relationship.
"I heard that the Shiwanda Mountain area hasn't been very peaceful recently?"
Qian Xi looked at Li Yu and asked.
Shiwandashan is located in the southwest of Daxia, and the most important task of Xiguan is to monitor the movement of Shiwandashan and prevent the invasion of demons.
"right!"
Li Yu nodded and said: "Recently, for some unknown reason, human monks appear frequently in the Shiwan Mountains in the direction of Zhenmo City on the southwest border. According to reports from spies, I heard that people from the Ximen Family have been seen there!"
"Ximen Family?"
Qian Xi frowned and said, "Did any treasures or relics be discovered over there?"
The four major aristocratic families in Daxia, Dongfang, Nangong, and Beiming, all have members serving as officials in the court. Only the Ximen family never participates in government affairs, but the family's strength is no weaker than the other three families.
The Ximen Family is a business family that is in charge of more than 70% of the spiritual stone business in Daxia. Various auction houses are spread throughout the Daxia Dynasty, and even the other dynasties in Cangzhou have auction houses of the Ximen Family!
In addition to the spiritual stone business and auction houses, the Ximen Family's main source of income is also keen on exploring those little-known ancient ruins and obtaining treasures from them.
"I don't know. There are frequent civil strife in Daxia now, and I didn't send anyone to investigate more!" Li Yu shook his head.
"Would you like to send someone to take a look?"
Qian Xi frowned and said: "Here at Beiguan, I sensed two powerful auras leaving Cangzhou and entering the ancient country of Jingjue two days ago. I don't know if it has anything to do with this?"
"Is there someone from Jingjue Ancient Country coming too?"
Li Yu's eyes flashed: "Then this matter shouldn't be that simple!"
"Should we send someone to inform the King of Korea? This will give us and the other two more leverage to defect to Korea in the future?"
Qian Xi was startled when he heard this, lowered his head and thought for a moment, nodded slowly, and said: "That's fine! If it is really a powerful relic, it will definitely attract the attention of the King of Korea!"
After saying that, Qian Xi looked up at Li Yu and said, "It's no longer a matter of time! You go back to Dragon City now and send people to the Korean Dynasty!"
"good!"
Li Yu nodded, stood up immediately, and was about to leave.
However!
Right now!
"Young Xiaoxiao! It turns out they are two traitors who are trying to treason and surrender to the enemy!"
In the room, a cold voice suddenly sounded!
Li Yu's footsteps suddenly stopped, and Qian Xi also stood up suddenly!
"who is it?!"
The expressions of the two changed drastically, and they looked at the door of the room warily!
There, at some point, a tall and heroic man with a halberd suddenly appeared!
