Zhang Yan's words made the leader of the guards at the carriage look stunned. He immediately waved his hand to slow down the team, and then asked a detective to rush forward to find out what was going on. There was no notice from Yuanding Imperial City in advance that there would be any masters to meet them at the pass.
Besides, what level would Zhang Yan be talking about as a master?
What I was more worried about was that someone was ambushing me in front. After all, the situation in Nanyuan Kingdom is not very good at this moment. Anyone who is well-informed knows that the southwest and southeast are both in a state of war. Moreover, the subsequent "picking up relatives and passing through three levels" is not just a matter of face for Nanyuan Kingdom. It was uncertain whether anyone had received the message in advance to conduct a plot to intercept and kill him on the road.
After about half a stick of incense, the forward-looking rider came back and said a few words in the ear of the leader of the guards, which made the latter's expression change.
Zhang Yan was not in a hurry. Since the solo rider who had gone forward came back quickly, he did not sense any energy fluctuations from the fight ahead. That means it's not a danger. As for the change in the face of the guard leader, it should be due to the appearance of some unexpected characters.
"Zhang Jiaoxi, in front of you is Prince Huayue Guolong and his people. It seems they are waiting for you."
Prince Long? Guo Yulong! ?
Zhang Yan did not expect that the person in front of him who gave him extremely strong Qi and blood reactions and energy fluctuations would be the Huayue Kingdom's culprit who caused trouble in the east of Nanyuan Kingdom recently.
But at this time, Guo Yulong had the choice to meet him at this place, even if he was halfway through. What is this for?
See you or not? Naturally, it cannot be pushed away. Everyone is standing at the pass waiting, you can still go around it, and you won't act so timid, right?
In addition, Guo Yulong seems to know the whereabouts of Zhang Yan and his party very well, otherwise how could it be so "just right"?
In fact, compared to Zhang Yan, the guards next to him were even more confused. They didn't know whether they should let Zhang Yan go to see Guo Yulong, but they had no discretion during this trip, and they had no way to tell Zhang Yan what to do or not to do.
In this situation where everyone was uncertain about their thoughts, the carriage speeded up. After finally passing the pass, they saw a pavilion made of thatched huts set up on the roadside. There were many warriors guarding the pavilion, and a man with gray hair sat inside. Holding a cup of tea, he looked towards the carriage with a smile.
He couldn't avoid it, and Zhang Yan didn't even think about avoiding it. The reason he came to Yuanding Imperial City this time was to meet the powerful people in Nanyuan Kingdom. This is a necessary process for him to start his own new path now. Of course, he wouldn't mind if Guo Yulong wanted to see him. At the same time, I am also curious, is there anything unique about the big boss of Huayue Shangguo?
"In front of Zhang Jiaoxi, Guo Yulong is polite!"
When Guo Yulong saw Zhang Yan getting off the carriage, he put down his tea cup, walked to the edge of the hay shed, and bowed his hand to Zhang Yan. There is no need to guess, Zhang Yan's portrait has long recorded Guo Yulong's heart, not to mention Zhang Yan is the only adult on the carriage, so it is self-evident who Zhang Yan is.
Zhang Yan also said a few polite words in return. He was called "Prince Long". Then he followed the other person back to the hut, and was served a cup of tea in front of him.
As for the distinguished thirteenth prince Yang Rui, Wang Nian pulled him aside to play with the grazing horses. It also avoided the embarrassment of the scene.
"I wonder why Prince Long is waiting here for Zhang?"
While Zhang Yan was asking straight to the point, he was feeling in his heart the pressure the other party was exerting on him, as well as the strong and weak feeling brought about by the hidden strength.
It is said that there is a connection between the strong and the strong. There is no truth to this. It can be called "intuition" more mysteriously. But this kind of intuition will not appear when the gap in strength is too great. Because it is impossible to even compare to it, there is no sense of strength or weakness.
Guo Yulong is a warrior in the Duan Mountain Realm. Zhang Yan had heard Shen Wujiu say this before. And it was also said to be in the late Duanshan realm. Looking at the Nanyuan Kingdom, there is no such warrior, and Zhang Yan has never heard of it. The Liu Inchuan he had met was only in the middle stage of Duanshan Realm.
However, although the realm is the same, Guo Yulong's feeling in the later stage seems to be similar to that of Liu Inchuan in the middle stage. That is to say, the energy and blood are indeed stronger, but intuitively the strength of the two is almost the same.
This is not because Zhang Yan thinks that Guo Yulong’s late-stage Duanshan realm is full of moisture, but that Liu Rinchuan’s mid-stage Duanshan realm seems to be tricky. It is definitely not as simple as “mid-stage Duanshan realm”. Perhaps this is why it is said that although Liu Renchuan is not a martial arts academy in a major hub city like Xiangkou, he is the most powerful martial artist in Beijiang County?
Guo Yulong is also observing Zhang Yan.
The ordinary reveals the extraordinary! But more cannot be seen clearly, like a mystery. This is what Guo Yulong thinks of Zhang Yan.
Although he looked like there was no trace of a warrior at all, he still gave Guo Yulong a strong sense of threat. The seemingly contradictory feelings exactly confirmed the outsiders' judgment about Zhang Yan: the method Zhang Yan knew was a completely different way of cultivation from the martial artist system. At the same time, it also explains why methods such as bone-strengthening pills and methods of refining skin and flesh with medicine have never been known to anyone.
"Hahaha, Zhang Jiaoxi is such a strange person. Even if I have just arrived in Nanyuan Kingdom, I have already been yearning for him. Now that I see him, he is indeed the best among people, far better than the rumors!"
"Prince Long is so complimentary. Zhang's reputation is worthless."
"That's because Zhang Jiaoxi is too humble. I was surprised and admired just about the bone-strengthening pill. This method is unprecedented even though it is unprecedented! It will also change the history of warriors for thousands of years. An important treasure of the everlasting spiritual practice system..."
A compliment? Sort of. But not entirely. Because Guo Yulong just took out Zhang Yan's skills and repeated them. It's not to be too patronizing to Zhang Yan, but to be kind. After all, Guo Yulong also sent an invitation to Zhang Yan. Please note that if you are free to study in Huayue Kingdom, he will personally accompany you.
This face is enough.
But these are not the point. The key point is the reason why Zhang Yan suddenly appeared in Yuanding Imperial City this time. You must know that Guo Yulong previously believed that Nanyuan Kingdom's confidence and delay was due to Zhang Yan's Bone Strengthening Pill, and he pinned his hopes on a few high-level royal children who could use the Bone Strengthening Pill to sharpen their guns in battle. So he called Guo Xu, the seventh prince of Huayue Kingdom, from home just in case. Even Guo Xu's arrival was not through a regular port. Everyone here in Nanyuan Kingdom is still in the dark.
But if he relied on the Bone Strengthening Pill, there was no need for Zhang Yan to come here in person.
After getting the news that Zhang Yan was going to enter the imperial city, Guo Yulong asserted that the strength of the Nanyuan Kingdom royal family must not only be the bone-strengthening pill in Zhang Yan's hand, but also rely on Zhang Yan.
That's why I came here on an impromptu trip to explore Zhang Yan's background, and also to see if I could make Zhang Yan change his mind.
