Prince Xuanyong's Mansion.
The dusk falls silently over the sky and the earth, and a cold moon hangs in the sky, accompanied by the cold wind outside the window and the shaking of the treetops.
"See my lord!"
"No gift!"
Ning Fan waved slightly, Zhuan Zhu stood up from the ground and said softly: "My lord, why did you call me here?"
"Zhuan Zhu, how is the establishment of the headquarters going?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, all the underworld has been moved to the barren hills east of the city!"
"Um!"
Ning Fan nodded slightly and said in deep thought: "From now on, the focus of the underworld will shift to the ancient Nanman Kingdom and Huainan!"
"Infiltration, instigation, disguise, coercion, no matter what means you use, I want to gain certain control over Huainan and the ancient country within three months!"
"As you command!"
Zhuan Zhu bowed respectfully and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Lord, there are our people in Huainan and the ancient country!"
"It doesn't take three months, one month is enough to gain some authority!"
"This matter must be kept secret!"
"promise!"
Zhuanzhu bowed respectfully and disappeared directly in front of Ning Fan. A melodious voice came from the dark night: "My lord, four of the ten Yamas have returned to their seats!"
"Just wait for the good news!"
"Um!"
Ning Fan stood in front of the window, looking in one direction. They should be here...
In an attic of the side courtyard, several people dressed in black quietly appeared in Prince Xuanyong's Mansion without alerting any of the guards!
"Woooo..."
A sharp whistle sounded, and Qu Hongxiu in the attic suddenly opened his eyes, looking out the window, and lost his mind: "They...are they really here?"
"Princess!"
Qing Wan'er and Ling Xiu'er came to Qu Hongxiu for the first time, both with happy faces!
"Is this one of ours?"
"It is indeed... our people..."
"Great, the court still hasn't given up on us!"
Both women had expressions of surprise on their faces, while Qu Hongxiu's expression was extremely complicated. After all, this 'us' was not the 'us' they thought.
"Let's go!"
Qu Hongxiu seemed to have been prepared. She glanced far away in the direction of the main courtyard and strode out of the attic!
"Kill!"
"Who dares to break into my palace, Prince Xuanyong!"
"Get it for me!"
There were shouts of murder outside, and Qu Hongxiu walked towards the attic step by step like a person who was not involved in the situation!
Figures fell down one after another in the courtyard. Those in black were all masters of various schools. For a moment, the guards of Prince Xuanyong's Mansion were hard to resist!
"Walk!"
A figure in black swept over and came directly in front of Qu Hongxiu, covering him as he rushed out of the house.
"Stop them!"
A loud shout rang out, and Xu Chu was seen holding the pieces of Chiyou Waterfall. With a flash of his body, he rushed into a group of black-clothed people and started a life-and-death fight!
In the corner, Ning Fan showed a look of laughter and tears. This reckless man must not ruin his plan!
However, the group of men in black were obviously not easy people. The leader of the group of men in black immediately shouted low when he saw that this man had extraordinary strength.
"Don't fight!"
"Take the people and evacuate immediately!"
After receiving the order, the man in black immediately stopped fighting and retreated from the palace guards. In just a moment, he left the sight of the palace guards!
"Xu Chu!"
Seeing Xu Chu holding a weapon and about to catch up, Ning Fan walked out of the corner and said in a deep voice: "Don't chase after the poor enemy!"
"Lord, I failed to protect myself well, please punish me!"
"That's all, this group of people are very powerful and have extraordinary origins. It's understandable that these guards under your command are invincible!"
Ning Fan glanced into the distance and said solemnly: "Nothing about what happened tonight should be leaked to anyone. The brothers who died in the battle will be given a grand burial!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
…
For three consecutive days, the entire atmosphere in King Yu City seemed extremely solemn, with a sense of depression that a storm was about to come!
Until an edict came out from the palace again, and from then on, the world was shocked!
"Your Majesty has an order to command the Duke of Zhen Guo, Zhao Changying, to lead the Zhen Guo Army to march southward today!"
"Consecrate King Huai as the General of the Conquest of the South, lead an army of 300,000 under his command, and immediately go south to directly attack the ancient southern barbarian king's city!"
As soon as the news came out, people all over the world were in an uproar!
"The imperial court is preparing to march south in this cold winter month?"
"Oh my God, I, Dayu, have been stationed in the four borders for these years and have never taken the initiative to use troops outside!"
"I didn't expect that I would take the initiative to go south today!"
"The current Saint is so wise and powerful, something must have happened to the Southern Barbarians!"
On this day, the major families in Beijing were surprisingly calm, until one by one young men wearing armor walked out of the major mansions!
"Oh my god, this is... Mr. Zhao from the Zhenguo Palace. He, he, he... is actually wearing a suit of armor?"
"And Mr. Liu..."
"I heard that Prince Ning of Prince Qin's Mansion seems to be more interested in joining the army. What's going on?"
Seeing the heroic men riding tall horses with sparkling armor on their bodies, many people's expressions froze!
"Brother Liu, Brother Zhao, Brother Su!"
Zhao Changying and the others had just turned around when they saw an elegant young man wearing white armor riding a horse and nodded with a smile.
"Master Ning?"
"I've met the young prince!"
"No need to be polite!"
Ning Rulai had a smile that made people feel like spring breeze on her face, and said softly, "I never thought that one day I would be able to work with three people in the same robe!"
"My young prince, are you... also planning to join the army?"
"Exactly!"
Ning Rulai said with a smile: "Now is the time for the imperial court to hire people. As we have become famous in the dynasty, we should devote ourselves to serving the country!"
"Hahaha, the young prince said it well!"
Zhao Changying smiled heartily, and immediately stretched out his hand. The four people pressed their palms against each other, their eyes full of youthful spirit!
"This southern expedition is bound to make a name for itself!"
"good!"
The four of them were about to leave when they saw another cavalry approaching. It was the only son of the Xie family, Minister of the Ministry of Industry. Thank you!
Seeing the figures of Zhao Changying and the others, his eyes immediately lit up and he immediately rode forward: "Brother Zhao, Brother Su, Brother Liu!"
"You are also going to join the army?"
"good!"
"That's great. I didn't expect that my little brother would be able to join you. Hahaha. Where is the second master?"
Zhao Changying chuckled: "You are the only child of the Xie family. How can Mr. Xie be willing to let you join the army?"
"Hey, don't mention it!"
"I was forced to come here by the old man!"
"However, now that all the eldest brothers and the young prince are joining the army, I am really lucky to be able to join you!"
"hey-hey!"
Zhao Changying and the other three laughed, and Ning Rulai also smiled and said: "Everyone, it's getting late, let's set off directly!"
"good!"
Several people nodded to each other and rode away from Beijing together!
Not long after, two more figures appeared at the south gate together. It was Ji Wuyi, the eldest son of Ji, and Li Yan, the Duke of Jingguo!
"Brother Ji?"
"General Lee?"
"But going to Jiangnan?"
"Um!"
Seeing Ji Wuyi nod, Li Yan had a look of surprise on his face. Su Wen heard that Ji's eldest son was fond of martial arts since he was a child. He knew the art of war and knew strategies, but he had never enlisted in the army!
I didn’t expect that today, I would actually come out of the mountain...
"Can we join together?"
"Can!"
The two looked at each other, nodded, and rode away from the capital together. From then on, the heroes of the world gathered together, and when the storm happened, they transformed into dragons!
