"These guys seem to be very confident..."
Raising his hand to receive the secret document, Liu Ming did not stop the Shadow Guard from leaving. His expression remained indifferent. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Haha, I didn't expect that I, Liu Ming, would be so useful one day..."
"Jin King Chu Wen, if you want me to betray the current Holy Emperor, you must be able to pay a sufficient price!"
Liu Ming looked at the secret document for a while, and the next moment Liu Ming also raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a sneer. Then a wisp of Yuanli flame burst out from his palm to burn the secret document, and at the same time he flew towards the imperial city not far away. As fast as the wind.
As the commander-in-chief of the Iron Corps, Liu Ming was very powerful and naturally attracted the attention of many forces, including King Chu Wen of Jin. Although Liu Ming had always been the confidant of Emperor Chu Tianyang, Chu Wen did not. He never gave up trying to win over the other party.
Firstly, he knew that Liu Ming's character was always selfish. Secondly, in the face of absolutely huge benefits, the other party could not remain unswayed. Moreover, Chu Wen had been secretly contacting Liu Ming over the years, trying to win over him. for its use.
Although Liu Ming has worked under the current emperor Chu Tianyang for many years and has been favored by the emperor. He is also in charge of most of the forces of the Iron Corps, but Chu Wen knows very well that Liu Ming will not be satisfied with this. If there are greater interests at hand, the other party will definitely betray you!
And even if Liu Ming refused to rebel and insisted on working hard for Chu Tianyang, Chu Wen was not afraid at all. After all, he also controlled the Iron Armored Corps, the elite division of the imperial court, and also had a group of powerful men under his command, known as the Shadow Guards. of dead soldiers.
After years of keeping a low profile, King Chu Wen of the Jin Dynasty has accumulated a strong foundation of power. He has strong soldiers and horses, and many experts, comparable to half of the Chu Dynasty. His power has long been able to compete with the Chu court and royal family!

Imperial City, Beicheng District, Iron and Steel Corps Barracks
"Yang Qing, I haven't seen you for such a long time, and your strength has indeed made no progress..."
In a main camp tent, the second commander Yang Qing was seen sitting cross-legged, making magic formulas with his hands, as if he was practicing some kind of skill. The next moment, a sinister man's voice suddenly came from outside, which also caused a lot of confusion. He couldn't help but trembled, his face was horrified.
"Commander?!"
Hearing the sound, Yang Qing turned around, his pupils narrowed, and he saw a middle-aged man in black robe standing quietly behind him, as if he had come and gone without a trace. He was clearly the current commander of the Steel Corps, Liu Ming.
"It's me, but you still seem to be the same as before..." Seeing Yang Qing's reaction, Liu Ming also grinned and sneered, then stepped forward, half-leaned on the main seat in the middle of the tent, and said lightly.
It has been almost a year since he went out for training. During this year, Liu Ming was not in the imperial city. Naturally, all matters in the Iron Corps were under the jurisdiction of the second commander, Yang Qing. After all, the other party's Yuanli cultivation had reached a high level. He is at the seventh level, second only to Liu Ming in the corps.
"Commander, you have been away from the imperial city for a year without knowing it. Time flies really fast..."
Looking at Liu Ming, who had a strong aura in front of him, Yang Qing also restrained his expression, and then sighed with emotion. For some reason, he always had an intuition in his heart that the opponent's strength seemed to be stronger than a year ago, and not just a little bit!
"This guy has only been away for a year to practice. Is it possible that he has made another breakthrough in his Yuanli cultivation?!"
Yang Qing, who was very deep in the city, secretly pushed his stomach, but on the surface he still had a smile on his face, making it impossible to see through his inner thoughts.
"Indeed, has anything major happened in the Imperial City during this period?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Ming also spoke.
"Going back to the Commander-in-Chief, the World Heroes Conference will begin soon. Princess Lu Yuan will also hold a martial arts tea party at the princess's mansion in a few days. During this time, there has been an influx of people from inside and outside the imperial city. Warriors are very lively..."
Facing Liu Ming's inquiry, Yang Qing did not dare to neglect and said with a cup of his hands.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess's martial arts tea party is just a fun for young people. As for the World Heroes Conference, it is just a fight between a group of fledgling kids. It is not a big event..."
"Yang Qing, after all, you have been working under me for so many years, so you don't really think these are big things..."
With a slight snort, Liu Ming sounded disdainful, as if he had expected Yang Qing's answer and didn't take it seriously.
"Commander Mingjian, but let's talk about it, something happened within the Corps recently, and it was beyond many people's expectations..."
Seeing that the other party looked a little dismissive, Yang Qing's eyes flickered, and the anger that had not yet risen in his heart was quietly suppressed, and then Fei Ren took action to destroy Wang Xincheng, as well as Chang Qingshan's defeat of Xing Wenchong. And said it in a serious tone.
"Why, that kid from Chang Qingshan is only a first-level cultivation of the High Star Realm, but he was able to defeat Xing Wenchong?"
Hearing this, Liu Ming narrowed his eyes slightly and seemed a little surprised. After all, the other party was once a popular figure favored by his men.
"Exactly, ever since Chang Qingshan returned from training in Beihuang County, his strength has improved, and he is now at the second level of the High Star Realm..."
Without denying it, Yang Qing said again.
"It's useless. Even Chang Qingshan, who is at the second level of the High Star Realm, can jump over the level and defeat him. Xing Wenchong is in vain for my caring for him. I really lose my face...!" Liu clenched his fists tightly. Ming's face looked a little ugly, and the next moment he slowly released his palm and snorted coldly.
"Forget it, this useless thing deserves to lose. It seems that I underestimated Chang Qingshan before. I need to take more care of him in the future..."
Although Xing Wenchong was his valued younger brother in the past, in Liu Ming's heart, he was just a dispensable lackey, and Chang Qingshan was also a general under him. Naturally, he would not blame Chang Qingshan for such a trivial matter.
In Liu Ming's eyes, as long as the strength is strong enough and can be used by him, that is great, and other things are not important at all.
"By the way, you just said that a casual cultivator named Fei Ren took action and destroyed Wang Xincheng?"
After gathering his thoughts, Liu Ming spoke again, his expression gradually becoming serious.
Compared with Chang Qingshan's defeat of Xing Wenchong, Fei Ren in Yang Qing's mouth is just a second-level Yuanli cultivation of the high-star realm. Not only did he defeat Wang Xincheng of the fifth-level high-star realm, but he also destroyed his opponent's arm in public. Such strength is incredible.
You must know that the strength gap between high-star realm warriors at each level is huge. Moreover, as the third commander of the Iron Corps, Wang Xincheng is not weak in strength, but he is still defeated by Fei Ren, who is only at the second level of high-star realm. This is enough to show that Fei Ren His strength and talent are so strong!
"That's right..."
After nodding, Yang Qing spoke with the same emotional tone.
"Fei Ren, I seem to have heard this name somewhere..."
"Could it be the boy Xiahou Ba mentioned?!"
Liu Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression was also uncertain. Then his pupils suddenly shrank, as if he recalled something.
"Commander, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Liu Ming's face flashing, Yang Qing also took a step forward.
"It's okay, Yang Qing, you go down first."
Glancing at Yang Qing, Liu Ming immediately restrained his expression, then waved his hand and said calmly.
"This guy should be it. Chu Wen is really awesome. He can capture such a genius. It seems I have to change my mind..."
After Yang Qing left, Liu Ming also half-leaned on the main seat with a serious expression.

Imperial City, Somewhere Inn
At this time, Fei Ren was still practicing quietly in seclusion. He didn't know that he had become completely famous in the Iron Corps, and at the same time, he had left a deep impression on Liu Ming, as if he was deaf to what was happening outside the window.
