Just when Jiang Yun broke into the mysterious intelligence organization and once again searched for information about Mo Mansion.
In a side hall of Qiling Duke's royal family.
A middle-aged man looked at the sky coldly, his silence making the entire side hall feel oppressive. No one was walking around the entire side hall, and not even a bird or reptile could be found. It was obviously surrounded by a formation.
At this moment, a black shadow flew towards this side, stepped lightly on the roof, and approached the side hall.
Seeing the familiar movements of the other party, the middle-aged man stood up hurriedly.
The black shadow did not make any movement, and the door to the side hall opened slightly, and the black shadow flashed past very quickly, and then the door was closed tightly again. The whole process is done in one go and at a very fast speed. If you are not a practitioner, it would be difficult to catch this scene with your eyes.
The black figure stood still, an old man with bright eyes.
The two looked at each other speechlessly.
The middle-aged man was very calm. Even though he wanted to ask many questions in his heart, he still stared at the old man leisurely and contentedly.
The old man was silent for a moment, but still bowed respectfully.
"His Majesty."
The middle-aged man in front of him is the current king of Qiling Principality and the most powerful person in the entire principality, Li Jinyang.
Li Jinyang looked deeply at the old man in front of him, his eyes burning brightly.
But the old man is not an ordinary person. To be able to appear alone next to His Majesty the King in the middle of the night must be an unusual status.
In the Qiling Principality, there are five generals and four armies stationed at the border.
Among the five generals, the four generals of Wind, Rain, Thunder and Lightning now hold the actual military power. And above these four extremely powerful generals, there is also a 'Mingshuai' who has long since lived in seclusion.
The old man who wandered through the palace late at night like no one else was there was none other than 'Ming Shuai'.
"Confirmed, the person we are waiting for is here."
Marshal Ming whispered to the king.
The originally calm king's expression finally changed. His pupils shrank and he let out a soft breath. "In that case, let's proceed as discussed before, but this time, Ming Shuai will have to work hard."
As he spoke, his eyes shone with hope and confidence that no one had ever seen before.
Ming Shuai clasped his fists, his eyes trembling. "I thought I wouldn't have a chance to see him before I died of old age. Now I finally don't have to wait to die, old man."
Ming Shuai actually said that he did not have to wait to die. If people from the Qiling Principality heard this, they would find it hard to believe it.
The king patted him on the shoulder.
The next day.
The palace hall.
The king is high on the throne. Among the four generals, except General Fengyu, who is stationed outside, General Thunder is in the royal city.
In the main hall, General Thunder and Lightning stood tall and straight. One on the left and one on the right guard the king on both sides. He stared at the two people approaching not far away with eager eyes, and there was nothing strange in their expressions.
Even though there was not even a maid or eunuch in the vast palace today except for the three of them, the two of them remained silent as if they didn't notice.
At the entrance of the hall, Jiang Yun and Huo Xiaoyu walked and stood in the center of the hall, bowing their hands in salute.
King Li Jinyang smiled and spoke, breaking the solemn tranquility in the palace, "Welcome the two envoys from the upper realm. I already know your intention."
The opening of the Three Realms Barrier is grand.
Not to mention the Qiling Principality, even the royal family members of the five major empires are closely surrounding the imperial city, for fear of offending someone they shouldn't offend during this turbulent time and losing their heads.
Today, Jiang Yun and his two men had just appeared at the door, showing off their strength at the Foundation Establishment Realm, when they were directly brought in by the Imperial Guards.
Jiang Yun and Huo Xiaoyu looked at each other without saying anything, "In that case, let's not beat around the bush. We can exchange some medicinal treasures with Your Majesty using the mental method that can be practiced to the foundation building stage."
King Li Jinyang smiled, but did not directly agree.
Instead, he calmly started talking to Jiang Yun, "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, you two are guests from afar. I have specially prepared some food and wine. Let's chat while eating."
Jiang Yun was stunned.
He immediately refused and said, "The matter is urgent. After exchanging in your country, I need to go to other principalities. Please make it convenient for His Majesty the King."
I thought that with this answer, the king of Qiling Principality in front of me would be more sensible. Unexpectedly, Li Jinyang smiled mysteriously.
At the same time, just behind the king's throne, a slightly rickety figure walked out. "There is no need to make more trips. We have exhausted the resources of the surrounding principalities in the past few years."
Jiang Yun and Huo Xiaoyu looked at the old man in confusion.
General Lei and General Dian on the side immediately saluted excitedly, with solemn faces filled with admiration and reverence, and said in a deep voice, "Commander Ming."
The old man was none other than Commander Ming who appeared in the side hall of the palace last night. He waved his hands nonchalantly to the salutes of the two powerful generals.
Jiang Yun keenly noticed that although he was calm, the two thunder and lightning generals who held military power did not dare to look at the old man at all, and always lowered their heads to remain humble.
This reminded him of the information he saw last night.
In the Qiling Principality, there will be many, but there will only be one handsome one.
During the period when Marshal Ming was in charge of the army, the entire Qiling Principality was impregnable. Many of his generals were convinced, and all the troops pointed to were the territory of the Principality. His reputation as a leader even spread to the five major empires. Some of the top generals from the five empires personally brought people over, and there was even a group that came up directly to launch an attack on the Qiling Principality.
But even if the imperial general personally arranged the troops and commanded the elite troops of the empire, it was difficult to break through the underworld commander's defense line.
And everyone watching the battle could see that Ming Shuai had many opportunities to counterattack, but he didn't take action, obviously to take care of his opponent's face. After this battle, Marshal Ming's reputation became so popular that all the major empires invited him.
In the end, they were all declined by Ming Shuai on the grounds that he was old and homesick.
When the surrounding principalities realized that there was a tiger sleeping next to their house, they all feared and did not dare to be disrespectful at all, and often sent people to offer sacrifices. At that time, it could be said that the Qiling Principality was at its most prosperous.
Fortunately, the Qiling Principality had no intention of expansion, so it just settled quietly in a corner.
It wasn't until more than ten years ago that Commander Ming promoted four generals to the top, and since then he has stepped down from the throne of military commander and faded out of people's sight.
But whether it is the people of Qiling Principality or the surrounding principalities, they all understand deeply that as soon as this old man who retreats behind the scenes appears, he will be an absolute military god who can make the four generals bow their heads and obey!
Marshal Ming walked to the palace and first saluted the king.
Then he turned and stared at Jiang Yun and said, "Several surrounding countries have taken pictures of me as a deterrent and have to submit contributions every year. Therefore, strictly speaking, our Qiling Principality has less materials than the five major empires. If you want to exchange more materials and resources, It's enough to exchange it with our Qiling Principality and go back to the underground level to deal with the forces behind you."
Jiang Yun pondered for a few breaths and then said, "What does your country want to exchange for?"
The topic returned to the right track, Ming Shuai turned around and looked at the king.
"Our request, in addition to four copies of the mental method that is enough to practice to the foundation building stage, is that you provide shelter for one person when you return to the underground level. All the resources of the Qiling Principality will be divided into two parts, and one part will be given to you first. You, the rest will be taken to the underground level by this person, and all the resources and materials will be handed over to you in installments."
Divide into two?
Asking for asylum for someone?
Jiang Yun didn't realize why the other party made such a request, and subconsciously asked, "What if we don't have enough protection power to protect the person you designated?"
Ming Shuai smiled and said nothing.
With such a large number of resources, who should I look for?
Jiang Yun also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and Huo Xiaoyu answered, "Other than that, is there no other way to exchange the resources in your hands?"
Ming Shuai nodded.
Jiang Yun and Huo Xiaoyu looked at each other. Although the current bloodthirsty on the underground level has no foundation, it is not completely incapable of protecting one person. In addition, there is currently a partner with the Three of Clubs.
But there is no need to agree to them.
If you can’t exchange it, can’t you steal it? How many bloodthirsty people are there, all of them are in the foundation-building realm, and they can't win a single Qiling Principality?
Jiang Yun hesitated for a moment, but decided to go back to find people first to see the situation of Wei Guang, Gu Chengfeng and the neighboring principalities. If the Qiling principality really had a lot of resources, it would not be impossible for the bloodthirsty people to gather here directly.
At this moment, he noticed that his transmission notes were vibrating wildly.
Is it Tuoba Jinghuan?
Jiang Yun ignored the people in front of him and went directly to check the transmission notes.
"There are three groups of people heading towards the Royal City. One of them is Gu Chengfeng. He said that there is nothing in the surrounding principalities and everything has been looted by the Qiling Principality. We are now rushing towards the Royal City, but the other two groups of people are ahead of us. You Be sure to exchange resources as soon as possible to avoid being intercepted."
Jiang Yun's expression changed slightly.
In this case, we can't think of letting the bloodthirsty people gather and snatch it away. His eyes flashed, but he still didn't plan to grab it directly, but nodded and said, "We agree to cooperate, but you must first trade with us when exchanging."
"That's natural." Ming Shuai waved his hand, "Unless you cannot provide shelter or maliciously rob, we will no longer provide exchange opportunities to other forces."
Only then did Jiang Yun's face look better. At this moment, he suddenly came to his senses and asked doubtfully.
"Who is the person who wants us to protect? Can you tell me?"
Ming Shuai smiled and pointed at himself with his right hand, "The person you want to protect... is me."
