When everyone returned to the house, night had fallen, and Zhao Tianming had already prepared some meals in the house. Dry Land Demonic Dragon Broth was the standard dish. When he returned to the city, Zhao Tianming also cooked several other side dishes if possible.
All the oil lamps in the house were lit, and the lights were swaying like helpless children in the cold wind. Zhao Tianming has swept away the dust in the house. The simple house has the warmth of home. This is their haven after returning from the battle and their last resting place.
No matter what injustice they suffered, as long as they are still alive, it is the greatest blessing. Even if there is great pain in your heart, you have to live in the present and consider how to move forward better in the future. Zhao Tianming has seen through the world, and he just hopes that the brothers who used to drink with him can also drink together in the future.
There are no taboos at the dinner table, you can eat whatever you want and say whatever you want.
Yiran also raised his inner doubts.
"The old housekeeper of the Qin family made such despicable suggestions for Qin Feng and was able to hook up with the commander. I think there must be something wrong here."
"Although relatives and friends of the royal family are also officials, it is impossible for a steward to influence the commander's decision."
Yiran looked at the bowl full of broth in front of him. The oily flowers in the bowl kept gathering and breaking again, which was mysterious and strange.
His fingers lightly hit the table, and the sound of "ta, da, da" was inaudible on the busy dinner table.
"It is impossible to say that the commander did such a thing just to curry favor with Qin Guang and to please Qin Feng, because Qin Feng is not taken seriously. So why?"
I picked up the big bowl on the table and took a sip of the broth. The umami flavor hit my taste buds. I mixed it with seasonings at home, and the taste was indeed even more delicious. Everyone listened attentively to Yiran's analysis and kept nodding in response, but their hands and mouths were unambiguous, and large chunks of meat were being eaten away in large mouthfuls of soup.
"Then I can only think of two possibilities. One is to use Qin Feng to bring down the Qin family. If this is the purpose, then the mastermind behind it is a little petty. The second possibility is that they have other purposes. I came with the mission of cholera frontier troops, and I wanted to take the opportunity to disrupt the morale of the troops and plan for something big."
"If it's the first type, it's still a family matter. If it's the second type, not only will the consequences be extremely serious, but there's probably a huge conspiracy behind it. And there must be a lot of them, so I'm afraid it won't be easy to deal with."
After listening to Yiran's story, Huang Zhan waved his hand gently, "The analysis makes sense. If today's incident hadn't happened and these flaws had not been discovered, maybe they could still hide it. But after tonight, even if this evil-minded force hides No matter how deep you go, even if you don't die, your vitality will be severely damaged."
Because this is Liu Xuecheng, and this is the frontier army of the Fenghuo Principality's first line of defense!
So Yiran didn't think much about this issue, and thought of what Huang Zhantian said about the situation in the Principality and those so-called Jedi.
A place that requires so many strong men to guard and is called a Jedi definitely hides a lot of secrets, and this kind of place is often accompanied by great opportunities.
"Teacher Huang Zhan, compared to the tricks in the border army, I am more curious about the situation in the border towns that border other principalities, and what are the five Jedi in the principality?"
Huang Zhan had long known that Yiran would pay attention to these things, and he had already been prepared to answer. These children are all capable enough. Although Ma Mingyao, Temusheng, and Zhou Ming have not yet become warriors, as long as they do not die, they will definitely surpass countless so-called family children, and sooner or later they will know the existence of these problems.
When Yi Ran asked this question, all the children put down their chopsticks and sat on their stools to listen carefully.
The surrounding air suddenly became silent, with only the sound of everyone's breathing remaining. The night cast a mysterious veil on the world, making those with curiosity even more eager to explore the entire world.
At this moment, Huang Zhan will unveil a corner of this mysterious veil for several people.
"There are three major empires on the Lingxu Continent, which should be mentioned in the first theoretical lesson. They can call themselves empires because of their unrivaled combat power and endless geniuses. Only how strong they are , I just heard that after all, in the more than five hundred years of the Wind and Fire Principality, only senior Tang Wudi has been to the empire."
"When the Wind and Fire Principality was founded, the empire sent powerful formation mages to the capital to set up spirit gathering formations and phantom formations as rewards for the newly established principality. As for the small formations in the academy, they were all trained by the talented magicians of the principality. I learned it from the two formations set up by the strong men of the empire."
"But I have also heard that during the wave of red-level monsters more than thirty years ago, there was a senior alchemist from the empire who spent all his energy refining a spirit-level elixir for the former king Tang Zong. The old king made a breakthrough with the elixir. Only by reaching the spiritual level did we successfully survive the disaster. But the news about the empire has never been spread."
"The three empires are far apart and there is no hatred between them, and they are not afraid of any other forces. But it is different for our principality."
"In order to compete for resources and more territory, many principalities are at war all year round. Only with more territory can we have people, and more strong people will have the opportunity to appear, and the principalities will become stronger."
"Thousands of miles east of our Dukedom of Wind and Fire is bordered by the World of Warcraft Forest, and there are three principalities to the south, west and north. The principalities in the north and south have the same crisis pressure as us in the World of Warcraft Forest, but the Wuquan Principality in the west does not have Warcraft. The pressure brought by the forest, the farther west the principalities are, the less pressure they have. Although all the people are preparing for war, the strength of those principalities is pitifully weak."
"There are even some principalities that only have a few sixth-level powerhouses. They say they want to practice magic and martial arts, but in fact they live in a dream. They don't have the pressure of the wave of monsters. In diplomacy with neighboring countries, There is no danger of annihilation of the country even if the country is defeated and ceded territory and marries. If there are no valuable resources in the country, it is not even worthy of others sending troops to destroy the country. Even if you are surviving, you can still live and work in peace and contentment."
"If one day a magical beast comes, or a strong man passes through, the mountains and rivers will be shattered and the kings will change hands in a snap. This illusion of stability is just to deceive the common people who know nothing."
"To say too much is also to say too far. It is unfortunate to be born in the Principality of Wind and Fire. The monsters may crush us mercilessly at any time, but we are also lucky. At least before the monsters attack, we can work hard, fight, and use our strength. Fight it rather than surrender.”
Huang Zhan looked down at the plain wooden tabletop, touching the twisting and turning lines on it, and his expression became a little solemn.
He looked up at the bright moon outside the window. The moonlight fell from the window and sprinkled the room with a layer of frost. The lights flickered without any warmth, but the people present were all monks, so he couldn't feel any chill.
The room fell into a brief silence. Even Zhao Tianming had never heard of this information, and only Huang Zhan, who was born in one of the top ten families, knew so much.
Being prepared for danger in times of peace will give people the motivation to move forward. If the building collapses, will there be innocent people?
Obviously, Huang Zhan didn't know how to tell the next secret. It was a top secret recorded in the family and could only be accessed by powerful people of level five or above. I was also entrusted with important tasks because of my outstanding talents and had served as the president of the border army, so I was qualified to know this truth.
As for Zhao Tianming and others, they don't even know the diplomatic relations between countries, let alone these Jedi. But even if they know, it will not benefit them at all, because that is an area that only fifth-level strength can touch.
"The five Jedi are actually not something you can come into contact with now, because the dangers in the Jedi can only be dealt with by strong men of level five or above."
"Do you know the most valuable output of our Principality of Wind and Fire? It is the elemental stones used to assist in practice. There are four elemental stone veins in the principality covering hundreds of miles. It can be said that these four veins are the entire Principality of Wind and Fire. Our lifeline is also the reason why the Wuquan Principality is eyeing us."
"The most common first-level elemental stone starts with ten copper coins, and the second-level elemental stone starts with one silver coin, not to mention the third-level, fourth-level, fifth-level and more pure energy. The current output of the three elemental stone veins It can support all the training expenses of the Wind and Fire Principality, so the price of using the practice rooms in our Wind and Fire Principality is lower than that of other principalities."
Huang Zhan became proud as he spoke. It was obvious that owning four elemental stone veins was something to be proud of. Just a moment later, Huang Zhan's color turned a little gloomy. "but……"
But as soon as these two words came out, the atmosphere immediately became solemn.
"But there is a mineral vein at the junction with the Wuquan Principality. In order to compete for the mineral vein, the two countries have clashed from time to time. However, the Wuquan Principality does not have spiritual powerhouses, and the Wind and Fire Principality has the suppression of the Warcraft Forest, so there has never been an outbreak. A massive war.”
"These four enviable elemental stone veins are actually the Four Jedi. Because of the powerful energy contained in the elemental stones, the space where the entire mineral vein is located is covered in fog all year round and it is difficult to discern the direction, even for a magician. The mental power can only see a few feet around in the fog."
"Therefore, the excavation of elemental stone veins has always been very slow, and we have always only excavated at the edge of the veins. And it is full of various dangers. Even the Great Mage or the Great Martial Sect will not be immune if they enter alone. There used to be The great mage who had reached his end entered it to seek opportunities and never came out again."
"So no one knows how many elemental stones the elemental stone veins contain. Once the excavation is too deep, powerful monsters will come out of the fog and attack the workers who are digging."
"Those monsters that only appear occasionally are all at level five or above, and even level six often appear, so a large number of strong men are needed to guard there. But I only heard about these. After all, my strength is only He is just a martial artist and has never been able to enter the Jedi."
"The Jedi also contains countless rare treasures. Every time a monster appears, there will be natural materials and earthly treasures. Moreover, the natural materials and earthly treasures in the Jedi are more effective and more powerful than those in the Warcraft Forest. So. Many old monks who have no hope of breaking through will choose to enter these desperate places to look for opportunities to break through. Either die there, or get the chance to come out."
"Although nine out of ten people in history have died in it, there are always some guys with incredible luck who can come out of the Jedi, and they must have brought out more or less peerless treasures!"
At this point, Huang Zhan stopped again, whetting everyone's appetite.
At this time, Zhao Tianming took out a jar of wine from somewhere and placed it on the table. The aroma of wine suddenly overflowed and filled the entire room. Although it wasn't a good wine, it was still much better than the bad wines in Huang Zhan's wine gourd.
Huang Zhan smelled the wine and nodded, "It's not bad, but it's not as strong as mine. It's not enough to drink!"
Then he got a big bowl for himself and drank it all in one gulp, like a storyteller in a restaurant. Without wine, he couldn't tell the story.
Tatting his lips with satisfaction, Huang Zhan continued:
"There is also the last Jedi in Windfire City. That Jedi is not caused by the elemental stone veins, and no one has been able to understand it deeply. But once it becomes abnormal, it will cause the earth to shake and the sky to collapse, and countless abyss cracks will appear on the ground. Strange monsters will come out of the abyss, destroying the world and destroying all living things. Each of them has a sixth-level strength, and they have no consciousness and only know destruction."
"Therefore, the capital of Windfire City was built there to suppress this Jedi. The formation masters from the empire formed the entire Windfire City into a huge formation, covering the entire Jedi. Normally, nothing can be seen, but once the abnormal movement occurs, , this powerful formation will be activated to suppress the abnormal movement. Although this will prevent the tragic scene of the earth from falling apart, monsters will still come out of the abyss from time to time, but most of the abyss appear in the palace, and those monsters As soon as he appears, he will be killed by the strong men in the palace, so many residents in Windfire City do not know the existence of the Jedi."
"There are only these records about this Jedi. I don't know if there are any such things as heavenly materials and earthly treasures."
After saying this, Huang Zhan held the bowl in his left hand and drank the second bowl of wine in one gulp. The fingers of his right hand rubbed the table, as if he regretted saying these things. After all, this is a realm that can only be touched by the fifth level. Now Yiran, who has the highest level of cultivation, is only a great warrior, and is still far from the level of the Wuzong.
But Huang Zhan had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, as if Yiran would soon be able to enter those desperate places.
