In the two days since Jian Chen left, the Eastern Fortress of the Geshen Kingdom was calm. The army of the Fenglan Kingdom did not attack again. In the first-level city where the Eastern Fortress army was stationed, the collapsed walls were also covered with craftsmen on both sides. Tens of thousands of craftsmen began to rebuild the tall city wall, with a detailed division of labor, and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.
Jian Chen flew directly into the city with the mother and son from the inn, and finally lowered themselves in front of the inn that was converted into a temporary command post. When their feet stepped on the ground, the legs of the inn mother and son were weak, and they almost stood up. Unsteady and fell to the ground.
The inn proprietress herself was unable to cultivate the power of the Holy, and the three sons who were originally condensed into the Holy Soldier became ordinary people because of the destruction of the Holy Soldier. Their physical fitness was very poor. After such a long period of flying in the air, the two The mother and son's immobile feet had already begun to go numb.
Jian Chen landed from the sky and immediately alerted the soldiers guarding the inn. They shouted and rushed over from outside. They wrapped Jian Chen inside from a distance and did not look closer. Their expressions were very solemn. They did not know whether Jian Chen was an enemy or not. friend.
Such a battle immediately made the mother and son in the inn become nervous. They hid behind Jian Chen tremblingly, wondering in their hearts whether the scene in the Yangji Sect would happen again.
A man who looked like an army officer came out of it. When he saw it was Jian Chen, his expression suddenly changed and he quickly shouted to the surrounding soldiers: "What are you doing? This is the Protector of the Country. I haven’t met the Protector of the Country soon.” Jian Chen’s identity is known to many high-ranking officers, but for ordinary soldiers, not many people know Jian Chen. Although Jian Chen was fighting outside the city, He is brilliant, but there are very few people who can truly see Jian Chen's face clearly.
After hearing what this officer said, the soldiers also breathed a sigh of relief, and then they all saluted Jian Chen: "I have met the Protector of the Country." However, all the soldiers were very curious, wondering when the Kingdom of Geshen There is a national protector. Not only have I never heard of him, but he is also incredibly young.
The officer immediately came to Jian Chen, first looked at Jian Chen, and said respectfully: "Master Protector of the Nation, I am a lowly officer, Lin Yan. I wonder if there is anything I can do for you, Master Protector of the Nation." of."
"Is General Liu here now?" Jian Chen asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jian Chen looked towards the inn, and saw General Liu who was wearing armor walking out quickly, came to Jian Chen, looked at Jian Chen respectfully, and said: " Lord Protector of the Country, you are finally back."
"Did nothing happen in the past two days when I was away?" Jian Chen asked with a calm expression.
General Liu shook his head and said: "Nothing bad has happened yet, but a lot of good news has come. Mr. National Protector, let's go in and talk."
"That's fine." Jian Chen nodded in agreement, then turned to look at the mother and son at the inn, and said softly: "Auntie, third son, you can rest here for two days first. You haven't eaten all day today, so you must be hungry. I'm hungry too." Jian Chen treated the two mother and son in the inn with genuine concern.
Old General Liu's eyes also fell on the mother and son in the inn. With his vicious eyes, he could tell at a glance that both mother and son were the kind of people who lived at the lowest level. There was an unconcealable fear in their expressions. Even when he looked at them, His eyes were evasive. General Liu had a trace of doubt in his heart. He wondered what the relationship between the mother and son was and the National Protector of the Qin Emperor.
The innkeeper’s wife didn’t have the slightest objection at all and said: “Everything will be done according to my benefactor’s instructions.”
Jian Chen showed a bitter smile and said: "What kind of benevolence is there? Auntie, from now on you can just call me Jian Chen."
"How... how can this be done?" The innkeeper's wife suddenly became a little at a loss. Although she lived at the bottom, she still knew a little about etiquette. Even the general who seemed to have a high status in front of her wanted to fight with a sword. Chen saluted and addressed himself as the Protector of the Country, but she directly called Jian Chen by his name, which made her feel a little scared.
After hearing Jian Chen's words, the expressions of Old General Liu and the officer who came out earlier changed. The two looked at each other, and saw a look of surprise in each other's eyes. They then looked at the mother and son at the inn. The vision has changed a lot.
Because neither of them knew the name of the National Protector of Qin Huangguo, but at this moment, the Protector of the Kingdom was so friendly to a mother and son. With his noble status, he even took the initiative to let the mother and son address him directly. The name was enough to show that the relationship between the two was extraordinary, which made the minds of General Liu and the officer suddenly become active. Although it is difficult to establish friendship with Qin Huangguo's national protector from the front, it can be done from the side.
The status of the National Protector of the Qin Huangguo is really special. If any family in the Geshen Kingdom establishes friendship with the National Protector of the Qin Huangguo, it will be a great honor for the family, even if you are A small, unpopular family will instantly become a being that no one with any strength dares to offend.
Later, the old general called an officer with a high status. This officer was a member of the old general Liu's family and had the same bloodline as the old general Liu. He asked him to personally entertain the two mother and son in the inn and treat him as a distinguished guest. There was no slightest sign of neglect, and he even whispered something in the officer's ear.
Immediately afterwards, the officer's face changed, and then he immediately smiled and respectfully invited the mother and son in. The enthusiastic attitude made the mother and son feel very uncomfortable. They even walked with their hands tied and a little at a loss. After all, He was facing an officer of high status.
Next, Jian Chen and Old General Liu came to a guest room with good soundproofing facilities. After receiving the news, Xiaotian, Kafeir and another strong man from the Geshen Kingdom also rushed over at the same time. Everyone gathered together as follows: As a subordinate, he reported the situation of the two days to Jian Chen.
"Lord Protector, as of this morning, we have received messages from the Northern Fortress and the Western Fortress. The armies of the Qiangan Kingdom and the Qianlong Kingdom have withdrawn from the territory of our Geshen Kingdom, and both countries have sent The envoy hopes to negotiate with our Kingdom of Geshen." Old General Liu said.
After hearing this, a smile appeared on Jian Chen's face. This news was indeed great news for the Kingdom of Geshen. With the two countries withdrawing their troops, the pressure faced by the Kingdom of Geshen was also much reduced.
"How is the situation in the southern fortress?" Jian Chen asked immediately.
"Lord Protector of the Country, yesterday we received news from the Southern Fortress that several Imperial Guards from Qin Huanggu had arrived at the Southern Fortress. The strong men from both sides fought a battle in the wild. There were two soldiers from Anles. The strong men fell, and the remaining strong men of the Kingdom of Andres fled without fighting. The army of the Kingdom of Andres has also retreated hundreds of miles away and remains stationary." General Liu said, with a look that could not be concealed on his face. Excited, now the Kingdom of Geshen can be said to have fully survived.
Jian Chen nodded imperceptibly. Such a result had been expected by him. Of the five Sky Saint Masters of the Qin Empire, only Xiaotian stayed in the east, while the other four gathered in the south. Together with Gessen The Kingdom came to support Chang Wuji and the three Sky Saints stationed at the Southern Fortress, bringing the number of strong men in the Southern Fortress to a terrifying eight in the Kingdom of Geshen. Unless something unexpected happened, it would be safe. Even if the Les Kingdom sends all the powerful Sky Saint Masters from the entire kingdom, they will never be able to break through the southern fortress.
Because the combat power of Qin Huangguo's national masters is so strong, they can easily block two opponents of the same level by themselves, and all of them master heaven-level combat skills.
"General, we have important information." At this moment, a loud voice came from outside the door.
Upon hearing this, the old general's expression suddenly became serious and he shouted: "Come in!"
The door opened, and a general wearing armor walked in from the outside. He first bowed respectfully to Jian Chen and the three strong men sitting in the room, then took out a letter and said: "General, Feng The Blue Kingdom’s army has begun to retreat, and at the same time a letter of surrender was sent.”
General Liu looked overjoyed. He quickly stepped forward and took out the surrender letter and began to read it. A happy smile gradually appeared on his face: "Great, great. This letter was handwritten by the King of Fenglan Kingdom himself. , they not only allowed the army to evacuate our Kingdom of Geshen, but were also willing to compensate us for certain losses. Now the special envoy from the Fenglan Kingdom is also on the way, hoping to have further discussions with our Kingdom of Geshen."
Upon hearing this, the dean of Kargas College and another Sky Saint from the Kingdom of Geshen showed a smile on their faces, with unconcealable excitement in their expressions.
Now the situation in the three fortresses in the east, west and north of the Kingdom of Geshen has stabilized. Only the Kingdom of Andres in the south has not withdrawn its troops, but few people here are not worried at all. The southern fortresses of the Kingdom of Geshen have gathered together. Without the eight Sky Saint Masters, it can be said that the former is like a cloud. The Kingdom of Andres simply does not have the ability to break through the blockade of the eight Sky Saint Masters, and their withdrawal will be a matter of time.
The few people soon calmed down. Old General Liu sat down again and said: "Master Protector of the Country, your journey to the Qiangan Kingdom will go smoothly."
"Yes!" Jian Chen nodded slightly and said, "You don't have to worry about the affairs of the Qianqian Kingdom. It has been resolved, and their king has also promised that he will not do anything detrimental to our Geshen Kingdom."
"That's good, that's good. Thank you for your hard work, Master Protector. Your country's assistance to our Kingdom of Geshen will be remembered by all the subjects of the Kingdom of Geshen and will never be forgotten." Old General Liu said with a smile on his face. It's a look of gratitude.
Later, Kafeir, the dean of Kargas Academy, and another strong man from the Kingdom of Geshen also said words of gratitude, and everyone dispersed.
Jian Chen held the little white tiger in his arms and went to the inn where the mother and son were resting. He happened to see the officer arranged by General Liu, who was greeting the mother and son with enthusiasm, and looked very friendly. The dining table has already been filled with hot delicacies from the mountains and seas, exuding a delicious aroma, whetting one's appetite.
