Chen Yang didn't have time to study the origin of the black bead. He put the black bead into Jie Xumi. Qiao Ning smiled slightly and said, "I thought I could live a stable life for two days, but in an instant, I helped Xiaolong It seems that there is not much time left to build the dragon-patterned armor."
Chen Yang couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Lan Tingyu has already obtained dragon-patterned steel now, and his strength is far better than mine. Fortunately, I still have you here, otherwise I don't know how to compete with him." He paused After a pause, he said: "Tell me, will Lan Tingyu use any stumbling blocks to deal with me on the way? He must hate me very much."
Qiao Ning said: "That shouldn't be the case. Lan Tingyu is a smart man. The emperor has issued an imperial edict. If he dares to stumble you in it, he is not afraid of the emperor knowing everything. The emperor is not a fool. However, when you encounter When he meets an enemy or is in danger, he will definitely not be happy to help you and save you,"
Chen Yang said: "There was no hatred between me and Lan Tingyu in the first place. It's a pity that a combination of circumstances led to this situation. Do you think there is any chance for reconciliation between me and him?"
Qiao Ning said: "What are you thinking about? Last time you attacked him from behind and robbed him of the dragon-patterned steel soul that he worked so hard to get. Can you easily overcome this trap? Aren't you afraid that he will talk to you and get along well?" , I will still attack you secretly, in that case, you will be even more passive,"
Chen Yang sighed slightly and said, "It would be a huge mistake to take refuge in Lan Jianyi."
Qiao Ning said: "You can't say that. If you didn't take refuge in Lan Jianyi, how could you go to sea? How could you turn a fight with me into friendship? How could I get the dragon-patterned steel soul? How could you get to know Mr. Lin Xianyang? Otherwise, you How could he be favored by the emperor and become General Shaowei now?"
Chen Yang's eyes lit up and he said, "It seems you are right,"
Then, Chen Yang and Qiao Ning simply packed their bags and headed to the Ministry of War. As for everything in the Shaowei Mansion, they left it to the housekeeper Lin Bo to take care of it.
Linxi County is located in Shanyuan Province. From the Imperial City to Shanyuan, taking the waterway is the fastest and most convenient.
Chen Yang, Qiao Ning and Lan Tingyu took the Shenwei and took the water route to Linxi County.
After Emperor Tianlin ascended the throne, in order to strengthen transportation and change the economic situation of the country, he mobilized manpower and material resources to build a grand canal.
This Grand Canal is not the Grand Canal in the world, but was created by Emperor Tianlin who changed its Feng Shui, trajectory, etc.
Tianlin Emperor Xuan Zhenghao is a person from the Great Thousand World, so naturally he will not agree with the Tianzhou Plan. He also knows about the Tianzhou Plan. The Grand Canal is a key point. In the Tianzhou Plan, the Grand Canal is to be dug in Tianzhou. Build the Great Wall, seize the dragon's veins,
Xuan Zhenghao's Grand Canal goes in the opposite direction. If the Grand Canal of the Great Thousand Worlds is a mother river, then Xuan Zhenghao's Grand Canal is a public river. In the future, if those true gods want to replace the Great Thousand Worlds, they must replace Xuan Zhenghao The male river was filled in, and then the female river was rebuilt.
At that time, Yang Guang dug the Grand Canal, which cost countless manpower and material resources, making the people miserable and full of complaints, and even dragged down the national power of the entire Sui Dynasty. But Xuan Zhenghao dug the Grand Canal was different. He paid enough wages to the hard workers. , given enough food, when digging the Grand Canal, when encountering mountains, the hard workers rested for a day, and the mountains disappeared the next day. It was under such circumstances that the Grand Canal was built.
The Grand Canal is not called the Grand Canal, but the Yuntian River.
After the Tianyun River was built, the people clapped their hands and applauded, saying that this was a success for the present and a benefit for the future.
The Divinity is the royal fleet. This Divinity is huge. It is a real giant. It is an iron-headed ship. It is protected by divine bombs and sky-splitting talismans.
Chen Yang and Lan Tingyu led three thousand elites. These three thousand elites are tiger and wolf divisions trained by the Ministry of War. They have a name, which is Sword Guards, Three Thousand Sword Guards.
And among the three thousand sword guards, there are thirty magic masters, all of whom are at the eighth level of cultivation. The thirty magic masters and the other sword guards live together every day, blending flesh and blood, and practicing the vast sword array.
This vast sword array is the power of three thousand sword guards. Once it is deployed, it can instantly kill the masters of the Nine Heavens.
This formation was trained under the supervision of Xuan Zhenghao himself.
This time, the imperial court's determination to suppress the rebellion could be seen without sending out three thousand sword guards.
There are dozens of cargo ships behind the Shenwei, and the three thousand sword guards are all over the ships, guarding the Shenwei in a posture of front, rear, left and right.
The leading general of the Three Thousand Sword Guards is called Bu Qianhong.
Bu Qianhong's cultivation is at the peak of the eighth level. He is about fifty years old this year, but he is very energetic. He is an official of the sixth rank. In front of Chen Yang and Lan Tingyu, he is a subordinate. This time, Bu Qianhong led the sword Wei is here to cooperate and obey Lan Tingyu and Chen Yang.
Lan Tingyu also brought two masters with him. These two masters were very low-key, named Zongzheng and Zongze. These two people were at the seventh level of Taixu.
Zong Zheng and Zong Ze were like invisible people beside Lan Tingyu, not saying a word.
As for who is the person in charge this time, the emperor did not explain, so this time, Bu Qianhong also had a headache. He didn't understand why there were two people in charge of this operation, and among the two people in charge, , not prioritized at all,
This is a taboo in military use.
Bu Qianhong may not be convinced by Lan Tingyu and Chen Yang in his heart, because he has reached this point steadily, but he is only a sixth grade, but Chen Yang and Lan Tingyu, two young masters without any military exploits, have It's the fourth rank of official worship, especially Chen Yang, who has never heard of it.
However, although Bu Qianhong was dissatisfied, he did not dare to show anything. He knew deeply that the emperor was by no means a foolish king. Since the emperor arranged this, it must make sense.
Chen Yang and Lan Tingyu only formally met when they got on the boat, but they didn't say anything. Lan Tingyu gave Chen Yang a cold look, turned around and left, and Chen Yang went with Qiao Ning. elsewhere,
There is still a captain on this ship. The captain is called Shi Kelong. Shi Kelong arranged rooms for Chen Yang and Lan Tingyu.
Chen Yang's room is very luxurious.
It was six o'clock in the evening, and the setting sun was like blood.
The Shenwei had already sailed out for an hour and left the Imperial City. After leaving the Imperial City, the scenery on both sides of the strait was wonderful.
Chen Yang could see the scenery outside when he opened the window. He and Qiao Ning were drinking by the window with wine glasses in their hands.
"The Emperor actually didn't prioritize the two of you. It seems that this time, suppressing the bandits is secondary, and testing you two is the primary one," Qiao Ning said,
Chen Yang naturally understood this truth. He said: "It's too early to say anything now. We don't know anything about Linxi County now, so we are still confused."
Qiao Ning said: "Well, when we get to Linxi County, we will adapt to the situation. The emperor's intention this time is to provide disaster relief, destroy the Taishang Cult, and punish corrupt officials. You and Lan Tingyu are both imperial envoys and have the right to kill first and report later. Therefore, you still have to discuss these tasks with Lan Tingyu, and each of you is responsible for his own responsibility. When there is a problem, you can report it to the emperor."
Chen Yang said: "Well," he paused and said: "Destroying the Taishang Cult should be the most difficult. Do you think I should take on this most difficult job, or should I leave it to Lan Tingyu?"
Qiao Ning said: "Eradicating the Taishang Cult may not be the most difficult thing. Punishing corrupt officials and providing disaster relief is even more difficult, because there are people above corrupt officials. After you come, if you touch some people, you will harm the interests of others." , it’s inevitable that they won’t make any small moves,”
Chen Yang said: "I'm not afraid of that. I am a sinecure and am not involved in any interest network. This time I just want to show off in a powerful way. I don't care about him."
Qiao Ning said: "That's okay. It's not easy to do these errands anyway. After dinner, you can call Lan Tingyu, Bu Qianhong, and some of his generals to have a meeting together. Everyone will divide the work and cooperate. , divide the work in front of everyone, so that when the time comes, no one will have to argue and shirk responsibility."
Chen Yang said: "Okay,"
Qiao Ning added: "Also, you have to go to Tianchi Pavilion to ask clearly about the situation of Taishangjiao and Linxi County. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle."
Chen Yang said: "I left in such a hurry that I really didn't have time to ask."
Qiao Ning said: "Tianchi Pavilion has sub-helms in various places. It will take about half a month for us to go to Linxi County. When we dock in Bailuyuan, you and I will go ashore to find the sub-helms of Tianchi Pavilion to collect information."
Chen Yang said: "Okay,"
Qiao Ning said: "Actually, you have to pay attention to another issue,"
Chen Yang said: "What's the problem?"
Qiao Ning said: "You are a smart person, you should have figured it out,"
Chen Yang said: "Are you saying that it is possible that the Supreme Sect will sneak attack us before we reach Linxi County?"
Qiao Ning said: "Yes, and the Supreme Master may collude with some officials. This is something we need to pay attention to."
Chen Yang said, "Okay, I understand," and then he smiled and said, "Miss Qiao, you are really a good strategist."
Qiao Ning smiled sweetly and said, "I have lived for so many years, so I must have some experience."
While the two were chatting, the maid outside came and shouted: "General Chen, Miss Qiao, it's dinner time. Should it be delivered to your room or eat in the dining room?"
Chen Yang went to open the door and asked the maid: "Where are Lan Jiangjun and the others eating?"
The maid said: "In the dining room,"
Chen Yang then said: "Okay, let's go to the dining room too,"
Afterwards, Chen Yang and Qiao Ning went to the dining room,
The dining room is not big. It is only for senior generals to eat. Lan Tingyu, Bu Qianhong, Zongze and Zongzheng brothers are also here. Other ordinary generals are also dining in the dining room. Everyone is at a long table. Eating on top,
Lan Tingyu sat at the top. There was an empty seat next to Lan Tingyu. This seat belonged to Chen Yang.
Qiao Ning sat under Chen Yang,
When they were seated, Bu Qianhong and others stood up to pay homage to Chen Yang. Chen Yang hurriedly asked everyone to sit down. He had a nice smile, but he was very gentle.
