"Dad, has Jiang Ping'an come back?"
Meng Jing walked back and forth in the room wearing red boots and thin legs tied with cloth strips. There was anxiety on her little face, and she didn't know where to put her little hands.
Meng Kuo, who was sitting in front of the paperwork and handling official duties, rubbed his temples and said, "You've asked me this thirty times a day."
"But the other party has been gone for a day and he won't come back. That old bastard Xu Tao ran away. What if he goes to seek revenge on Jiang Ping'an?"
Meng Jing's eyebrows were filled with worry.
Meng Kuo looked at his daughter with a half-smile, "Are you worried about your safety?"
"Who worries about him!"
Meng Jing was like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on, and shouted: "I want to defeat him. If he dies like this, how can I surpass him?"
At this time, a soldier walked in, clasped his fists and said, "General, Captain Jiang is back."
"He is back!"
Meng Jing was overjoyed and started to run out, but suddenly thought of something, stopped, put away her smile, and sat next to her eating cakes, as if she didn't care about anything.
Meng Kuo stood up and went over to pick up Jiang Pingan, but Jiang Pingan happened to walk in.
Seeing Jiang Pingan, Meng Kuo's face was full of joy and excitement, "Quick, come and sit down."
The victory of this war and its early end are all due to Jiang Ping'an.
The opponent first forced Xu Tao to launch an attack rashly, then destroyed the military formation and rescued him and the soldiers.
If it weren't for Jiang Ping'an, even if he launched a war in winter, he might not be able to win.
Moreover, Jiang Ping'an has the combat power to kill people of Marin's level at a young age, and his achievements in the future will be limitless!
"General, I'm very sorry for frightening the young lady." Jiang Pingan apologized proactively.
Taking Meng Jing into Pingshui County, he was besieged and almost had an accident.
"It's not your fault, it's because the little girl is naughty and insists on following you."
Meng Kuo already knew why the two went to Pingshui County and did not blame Jiang Ping'an.
Meng Jing pouted her lips in dissatisfaction. Her father had changed. He never blamed her before.
Meng Kuo lost his previous pressure and said with a smile:
"I have used the teleportation talisman to report the news to the county guard. Based on your great achievements, the county guard will soon issue a reward."
"If nothing else goes wrong, with your talent, the county guard will definitely invite you to participate in the Hundred Counties Competition. If you can get the ranking, the rewards will be even greater."
Jiang Ping'an was slightly startled, "Hundred Counties Tournament? What is this?"
The first time he heard about this must be some kind of competition.
Meng Jing sat aside, shaking her calves and explaining: "It is a battle in which the geniuses from hundreds of counties participate, all under the age of eighteen."
As she spoke, she raised her chin and said, "The Black Wind County Genius Competition I participated in before was to prepare for this Hundred Counties Competition."
"I happened to be in tenth place, so I was barely qualified to participate, and this was only the primary election..."
"The Ninth Princess is here!"
As they were talking, shouts came from outside.
Meng Kuo, Li Yuntian and others' expressions changed, and they quickly stood up, knelt on one knee, and waited with clasped fists.
Even the naughty Meng Jing became obedient and knelt down on one knee.
Jiang Pingan followed their example and saluted.
Ninth Princess? The princess of the Great Xia Dynasty?
Soon, a woman walked into the room.
The woman wears a light gauze skirt with green willow and yellow oriole, and her figure is graceful.
Her long hair was tied up, with several crystal clear hostas tied on it, and the exquisite jewelry swayed as she moved.
Her manners are gentle and elegant, and every step she takes is like dancing an elegant ancient dance.
Beautiful, mature and glamorous, her eyes are as deep as the starry sky, making people indulge in them unconsciously.
"Lord Sheriff!"
A group of people saluted respectfully and said hello.
"Get up." The woman's voice was full of magnetism, which made people feel inexplicably good.
"Master Sheriff, why didn't you inform me in advance so that I could prepare." Meng Kuo stood up with a respectful expression.
The other party is not only the governor of Heifeng County, but also the ninth princess of the Great Xia Dynasty!
"You don't need to prepare anything, I'm just here to take a look, and I'll leave after I finish talking."
Xia Qing walked up to Meng Jing with a smile and rubbed her head, "Xiaojing is awesome again."
"Hehe, I have been practicing hard these past two days." Meng Jing was as cute as a kitten.
Meng Kuo was very happy to see his daughter and Xia Qing so close. It was his daughter's opportunity to have a good relationship with the Ninth Princess.
"Practice hard and strive to make a big improvement in half a year."
Xia Qing doesn't have any aloof temperament, but looks like a sister next door.
"I will definitely do it, I will definitely surpass that guy!" Meng Jing looked at Jiang Ping'an unwilling to admit defeat.
Xia Qing's eyes followed Jiang Ping'an.
Although this young man still looks very immature, the perseverance and calmness between his brows are rare for this age.
"Are you Jiang Ping'an?"
"Go back to the county guard, yes." Jiang Ping'an responded with clasped fists.
It turns out that the ninth princess is the governor of Black Wind County.
"There's no need to be so formal about saluting. I came here today mainly for you."
Xia Qing walked over and held Jiang Pingan's head.
"Spiritual cultivation talent is average."
Her slender fingers pressed on the other person's forehead, and a drop of blood flew out of the air.
Xia Qing looked at it for a moment and said: "The talent for physical cultivation is very good. If you focus on physical cultivation in the future, you will have certain achievements. Just give up on spiritual cultivation. It will delay your cultivation."
In just a short while, she discovered Jiang Ping'an's talent.
But she didn't seem to be surprised at all, as if she was used to this kind of talent.
"Jiang Ping'an, I would like to invite you to participate in the Hundred Counties Tournament. Do you want to participate?"
Li Yuntian quickly kicked Jiang Ping'an secretly. This was his opportunity and he couldn't miss it.
Jiang Ping'an nodded and said: "Participate, but I don't know what kind of event this is yet."
"This is just a quota. You may not be able to participate. It depends on how much you can grow in the next six months."
"Now let's talk about military achievements. You have performed well and what rewards do you want."
Xia Qing seemed to be in a hurry and didn't talk nonsense at all.
Jiang Ping'an thought for a moment and said, "I want the supreme secret technique of Great Xia."
He wanted to become an immortal and find a way to resurrect the dead.
Mr. Li said before that perhaps only by learning the supreme secret technique of Daxia can one become an immortal.
Therefore, he wants this secret technique.
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room suddenly solidified. Everyone looked at Jiang Ping'an blankly, almost thinking that they had heard wrong.
This is equivalent to helping someone pick up a copper coin, and when you ask for reward, you say you want a cartload of gold.
Isn't this a joke?
"Haha~"
After a moment of silence, Xia Qing was lifeless, and suddenly he laughed. His smile was so beautiful that the sun in the sky became dim.
"Young man, this secret technique is not something that ordinary people can learn. If you can get into the top ten in the Hundred Counties Competition, I will teach you this technique."
"make a deal!"
Jiang Ping'an actually asked tentatively, and when the other party agreed, he was very excited.
Meng Jing, who was standing next to her, couldn't stand watching anymore, so she kicked the boy lightly and said, "Hey, do you know what it means to be in the top ten in the Hundred Counties Contest?"
Jiang Pingan shook his head.
Meng Jing was speechless and explained: "Hundreds of counties select the top ten geniuses to participate in hundreds of counties' talent competition."
"That is to say, among the tens of thousands of geniuses participating in this Hundred Counties Competition, your strength cannot reach the level of a martial artist or a foundation builder, and you cannot even make it into the top five thousand!"
"Not only that, there are many monks in the late stage of foundation building, powerful gods with various bloodlines, geniuses who are proficient in various secret arts... We ordinary people, it would be great if we can enter the top one thousand!"
Jiang Pingan's heart trembled.
He really didn't expect that the competition in this competition would be so great, and there would actually be a group of foundation builders and martial arts masters.
He thought his strength was considered powerful at the same level, but now it seems that he is very ordinary.
The world of cultivation is too big, and the small Lianshan County is simply not enough to see.
