"Promote me directly to the command of the guard station!"
Jiang Li looked at the tiger-shaped weapon seal in his hand and raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling a little surprised.
He practiced quietly in the Secret Valley for a month, and his strength improved astonishingly. He was almost invincible below the level of divine transformation.
He is strong enough to be the commander of the guard station, commanding more than 5,000 troops and horses to guard one side.
However, he came to meet Sima Ye this time because of the collusion between Linghe Fort and the survivors of the former Wei Dynasty.
I want to take this incident as an opportunity to enter the wilderness, contact the survivors of the former Wei Dynasty, and make long-term plans.
"Your Highness, I was on my way here..."
Jiang Li thought about it for a while and recounted his encounters along the way, except that he omitted the entanglement between Qi Yu in the Secret Valley and Shangguan Qingyan.
As for the deaths of Linghebao Sect Chairman Yingying and a group of masters, it is speculated that a dog demon he raised invited a hidden demon king from the depths of Lishan Mountain to help.
When the big black dog saw Shangguan Qingyan, he turned around and ran for his life. Many people in the Li Palace ruins witnessed it with their own eyes, and they knew it after a quick investigation.
As for the truth of the matter, only she, Shangguan and Lin Qingmu know!
"A complete inheritance of Qi? This is true!"
The fourth prince, Sima Ye, stood up excitedly from his seat, breathing rapidly, and the blood on his handsome face was rising for a long time.
The inheritance of Qi Meridian is one of the many transcendent inheritances in the Middle Ages. Its mysterious and magical features are not weaker than those of martial arteries and Taoism.
Although if you want to practice to a high level, the qualifications of the practitioner are very high. You need to have the quick response and coordination of movements to practice martial arts, as well as the mind, understanding, and even the physical meridians foundation for the movement of true energy.
All three are indispensable.
But at a low level, the requirements are relatively low. Not only is the speed of advancement much higher than that of the martial arts, but there is no need for the rare secret medicines, medicinal wines, and precious medicines required for martial arts practice!
Not to mention the impact that the emergence of a complete Qi lineage will have on the current situation of the three pillars of martial arts, Taoism, and Confucianism, as well as the monopoly of aristocratic families and imperial sects on cultivation techniques and resources.
If it can be widely promoted in the army and all soldiers can practice it, it will only take a few months to practice both Qi and Wu, which will greatly enhance the combat power of the soldiers.
By then, not to mention regaining the land of Yunjing, it is not necessarily impossible to directly destroy Beimang.
It can be said that the Qi inheritance that Jiang Li gained is enough to change the power structure of the entire Kyushu.
The value and significance are difficult to estimate.
"Your Highness, you will know after just one look!"
Jiang Li took out the basic Qi pulse cultivation techniques of the ancient sect Jiaohe Sect obtained from the wax pills, as well as the secret letter written by Yingying, the chairman of Linghebao Sect, to the survivors of the former Wei Dynasty in Beimang.
It details all the details of the collusion between Linghe Fort, the survivors of the former Wei Dynasty, and the Murong family.
Sima Ye took the four pieces of silk with the Qi meridians practice methods on them, studied them carefully, and tried the practice himself, breathing in his luck, and his body moved slowly.
With the deepening of the practice of basic Qi pulse techniques, the vitality in the internal organs gradually became stronger and fuller, and the ecstasy and shock in Sima Ye's eyes became more obvious.
"Jiang Li, you are truly my blessed general in the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
Sima Ye's body was shaking with excitement. As the prince of Zhou Dynasty who was in charge of the military affairs of three provinces and the defense line of the Great Wall in the north, he understood the meaning of these four pieces of silk better than anyone else.
The Great Zhou Dynasty was about to rise, and the ten-thousand-year imperial empire was probably started from these four pieces of silk.
"I want to send someone to report this matter to my father immediately. No, no, it's important. I want to go back to Shengjing in person!"
Sima Ye walked around excitedly in the tent, not caring about his status as the prince of Zhou Dynasty. Emotions of excitement, urgency, anxiety, and shock filled the prince's heart.
"Hmph, damn Linghe Castle. When I established the dynasty of the Great Zhou Dynasty, you were the first sect to lead the people to surrender. Over the years, the Great Zhou Dynasty has supported you, but in exchange for your betrayal and betrayal, if you are really allowed to surrender this Sending silk and silk to Beimang is simply a disaster for our great Zhou Dynasty!"
"The Murong family deserves to be killed as well. No one can save you from the bloody massacre of nine clans!"
Thinking of the dangers of the wax bracelet once delivered to Beimang, Sima Ye even burst into cold-blooded and cruel emotions.
"Although the Zhenwei Escort Bureau was also involved, fortunately it has not made a big mistake. Since you are interceding, I can absolve them of their guilt, and my father will agree!"
Sima Ye took a deep breath. After a long time, he suppressed all the turbulent emotions in his heart, sat back in his handsome seat deep in the hall, looked at Jiang Li and said: "So, you want to disguise yourself as Zhenwei Escort and go to the Tufu Kingdom to meet the surviving people of the former Wei Dynasty. touch?"
"The secret letter from Linghe Fort revealed that the survivors of the former Wei Dynasty have mastered some tempering methods of Qi Vein Elements. If they can be obtained, it will greatly enhance the power of the Great Zhou sergeants!"
Jiang Li nodded, "Ninety years ago, when the Great Zhou Dynasty destroyed Wei, the King of Wei led 300,000 Wei soldiers and millions of civilians north to Mang. Now it has become an important force in Beimang. Through the relationship with the survivors of the former Wei Dynasty, Get in touch and maybe get some useful information!”
"Your proposal is very good, but going to the Tufal Country is very dangerous. The Zhenwei Escort has been delayed for a month. The survivors of the former Wei Dynasty may have become suspicious. You are my number one meritorious service in the Great Zhou Dynasty, so you cannot put yourself in danger!" "
Sima Ye shook his head: "I can choose suitable people in the army, or my father can appoint them!"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, but for this trip to the Tufal Country, it is most appropriate for me to go there in person!"
Jiang Li said gently: "The inheritance of Qi Meridian is of great importance and cannot really be handed over to the survivors of the former Wei Dynasty. However, if we cannot inherit the Qi Meridian, we will not be able to gain the trust of the survivors of the Former Wei Dynasty!"
"What can you do?" Sima Ye asked.
"To be honest with you, Your Highness, I have mastered a complete Qi Meridian inheritance technique due to some opportunities. There should be no one in this world who understands Qi Meridians better than me!"
Jiang Li smiled and said: "I only need to make slight changes to these basic Qi techniques of the Jiaohe Sect, and I can turn them into a technique that seems useful but actually has endless consequences.
When Beimang soldiers first practice this skill, it seems that they can increase their sense of energy and strength. However, once they practice it to a certain level, it will cause the opposition of the vitality of the five internal organs, forming a secret disease. Once they are trapped in a long-term hard fight, it will trigger the internal The breath is disordered and the combat power is suddenly reduced. "
"Really?"
Sima Ye straightened his body, the surprise in his eyes was even greater, "Jiang Li, your merits are enough to make you a king and a marquis. Without any further delay, I will leave now to return to Shengjing. You can familiarize yourself with military affairs in your camp these days. , take control of the sergeants under your command, wait until I come back from Shengjing, and then discuss the trip to the Tufal Country!"
Sima Ye said as he strode out of the main tent. He blew a jade whistle on his waist, the air around him moved slightly, and four figures suddenly appeared out of thin air.
"Grandmaster of the Divine Transformation Realm!"
Jiang Li's eyes narrowed. With his current level of strength, he didn't even notice that there were four masters of the Divine Transformation Realm hidden around the main tent.
Although the realm of these four people is far less powerful than Xi Yingying, they are still very extraordinary. In the army, they are all generals who command tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.
However, what made Jiang Li slightly surprised was that although these four people were wearing heavy armor and were all men in their forties or fifties, their skin was delicate and they exuded a faint feminine aura.
"They are all eunuchs!"
Jiang Li's thoughts turned slightly. He already knew the true identities of these four people and had a deeper understanding of the royal family's background.
Being able to train four eunuchs into warriors in the realm of divine transformation, the martial arts resources controlled by the Zhou royal family must have reached an extremely terrifying level.
I wonder how many such master-level figures are hidden in the palace of Shengjing City.
"Ming"
In the cloud sky, a loud cry suddenly rose up. The sound was melodious and very sweet, but it spread across the sky and echoed hundreds of miles away.
There was a strong wind and the sand and gravel were flying.
Jiang Li walked out of the main tent and looked up, and saw a large divine bird flying from a distance with a faint flame all over its body. Its broad wings spread and oscillated, and it reached the sky above the camp in a moment.
The wings are spread out and are ten feet long.
On top of the big bird, there are two white-haired old men and women with fairy-like Taoism. From the condensed and restrained spirit in their eyes, it can be seen that the Taoist realm of these two people is definitely not ordinary.
"Jiang Li, see you in a few days!"
Sima Ye's figure moved slightly, but without seeing how he exerted any force, he jumped up ten feet and landed lightly on the great bird.
"This is the Nine Nether Flame Bird!"
Jiang Li raised his head, his gaze focused on the big bird surrounded by flames.
The Nine Nether Flame Bird was once the vehicle of Taizu Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and was also his enlightenment mentor in martial arts. He followed him on his expeditions, conquering the south and the north, and finally established the Great Zhou Dynasty.
In order to appreciate his kindness, Taizu adopted the Nine Nether Flame Bird as the emblem of the Zhou royal family.
The Nine Nether Flame Bird in the sky above the camp at this moment is definitely not the one of Taizu Taizu, but it should also be his descendant.
There are rumors that the Nine Nether Flame Bird's wings can stretch up to a hundred feet, and it can swim thirty thousand miles a day. It is a true descendant of the medieval holy beast.
But he has not appeared since the death of Taizu Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Some people say that it has already reached the end of its lifespan and will disappear after death.
Some people also say that it became a ghost and immortal, survived the thunder tribulation, and was reincarnated into a human being.
Jiang Li didn't know which of the rumors was true, but he just felt that it would be a lot more convenient if he had such a mount.
Liangzhou Camp is thousands of miles away from Shengjing. He has traveled a long way, but it only takes about a day for Sima Ye to get to Shengjing.
"Jiang Li, wait for my return!"
Sima Ye's voice sounded from high in the sky. Before the voice could fall, the Nine Nether Flame Bird flapped its wings and carried Sima Ye and six martial arts and Taoist masters up into the sky and disappeared.
"This is the legendary Nine Nether Flame Bird!"
Shangguan Qingyan, Lin Qingmu and the escorts from the Zhenwei Escort Bureau were all waiting outside Sima Ye's tent. They were amazed and envious when they saw the great bird flying straight into the sky.
Such divine objects have always existed only in legends.
It is the true symbol of the Zhou royal family.
"Nine Nether Flame Bird, this divine object is actually the fourth prince's mount!"
In the corner of the Liangzhou camp, Mo Chaozong heard the sound and walked out of the big tent. He looked at the little light and shadow rising into the sky, his eyes flickering and the light rising and falling.
"What a divine bird of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it's nothing more than mediocrity. Our ancestor's Qing Mo Luan is not inferior to this bird!"
Mo Tengxiao snorted disdainfully, but the heat and envy in his eyes could not be concealed.
"Although the ancestor's Qing Mo Luan is extraordinary and is a descendant of the great medieval demon, it is still far inferior to this Nine Nether Flame Bird. After all, Qing Mo Luan has long been an adult, while this Flame Bird is still in its infancy! " Mo Chaozong said.
"So strong in his childhood? I saw that his energy and blood were so strong that he was no longer in the state of divine transformation!" Mo Tengxiao's expression changed slightly.
"Whether the Nine Nether Flame Bird is powerful or not is only secondary, but the meaning behind it deserves our attention!" Mo Chaozong said.
"Are you saying that Emperor Jing gave the Nine Nether Flame Bird to the fourth prince with the intention of helping him ascend to the position of prince?" Mo Tengxiao guessed.
"The Nine Nether Flame Bird clan has an extraordinary status. Even Emperor Jing cannot give orders. This Nine Nether Flame Bird should be its own master!"
Mo Chao Zong said: "However, although it was not given by Emperor Jing, the Nine Nether Flame Bird can recognize the fourth prince as its master, which can also prove that this person is extraordinary, and I am afraid it will also affect Emperor Jing's view and attitude towards him.
"The reason why our family hides away is not that we despise the power of emperors in the mortal world, but the benefits are not great. For us, what really attracts us is besides assisting an emperor in establishing a foundation in troubled times. There is only a fight for the crown prince’s position, and this fourth prince seems to be worthy of our action!”
"In the Seven Kingdoms of Troubled Times, we suppressed the wrong target, which resulted in the Mohist family's power becoming increasingly weak over the past hundreds of years. If we can take this opportunity to re-enter the center of power, it would be a good choice!" Mo Tengxiao also nodded.
"It's too early to say this now. What we need to pay most attention to right now is still Jiang Li, the bodyguards in his hands and the demon knife human slaughter. We must try our best to fight for them!"
Mo Chaozong raised his head and looked into the distance. A team was walking towards the outside of the camp. It was Jiang Li, Shangguan Qingyan and his party.
"Jiang Li, I, Mo Tengxiao, am unable to kill a saint now, but I can still kill a disciple of your saint!"
Mo Tengxiao's sinister eyes revealed murderous intent.
…
"Mr. Shangguan, Miss Lin, Your Highness the Fourth Highness is going to Shengjing and will return in a few days. You will stay with me at Jimingzhang for the next few days!"
The team left the Liangzhou Camp, led by a team of Liangzhou Camp cavalry, and headed for the Cockcrow Barrage two hundred miles away.
Jiang Li was promoted to commander of the guard station, and more than 5,000 new troops under his command were stationed there.
The Beidi Great Wall stretches across the land, starting from Yumen in the west to the Jianshui River in the east, stretching for 80,000 miles, running through 63 prefectures in nine provinces, and is the most important solid defense line blocking the Beimang cavalry from going south.
In addition to long walls that are tens of meters high and passes that accommodate the entry and exit of large armies, there are also buildings such as cities, forts, barriers, fortresses, beacons, smoke piers, and beacon towers.
Unlike structures such as beacons, yandun, and beacon towers that are responsible for conveying military information, cities, forts, barriers, and fortresses are used for garrison defense.
Most of these defensive buildings were built inside and outside the Great Wall, some were close to the city wall, and some were built far away from the Great Wall.
The difference between a castle and a barrier lies in the number of garrison troops and whether there are civilians living there.
The Jiming Barrier that Jiang Li was responsible for guarding was an extremely important military stronghold.
Barrier, a small town in the mountains!
Only officers and soldiers are accommodated, not residents.
"General, there is the Rooster Crying Barrier in front of you. Don't listen to the fact that the name is a bit vulgar. In fact, it has another name, Qifengling!"
Baihu, the school lieutenant in charge of escorting, pointed to a tall military city in the distance that was built integrally with the Great Wall, and said: "It is said that in the late Middle Ages, nine-headed phoenixes once fell from the sky and died on this mountain. The phoenix blood soaked hundreds of miles." On this earth, whenever chickens pass by here, they will scream loudly, so it is called Jiming Ridge by the people nearby!"
"Nine Phoenixes Falling on the Ridge!"
Jiang Li looked around and saw the military city in the distance, located halfway up the mountain. It was ten miles long and ten miles wide, in the shape of a square, with only one side having a door.
There are also sloping wall platforms built at the four corners of the military city, an urn built at the gate, and a shallow moat around it.
Easy to defend but hard to attack!
There will be another chapter later, maybe a little later, you can read it tomorrow.
