The martial arts world was in turmoil because of the Heaven Swallowing Technique, and the court was also greatly affected by border issues.
He Wan has not been in power long enough, and there are still people in Daxia who are dissatisfied with her. And the enemy countries outside the border have already been eyeing Daxia and often make troubles.
The most noisy ones are Hu and Ze.
The Kingdom of Hu is adjacent to the Kingdom of Daxia, and the Kingdom of Ze is only separated from the Kingdom of Daxia by a large river.
Now is the time when the Great Xia Kingdom is in dire straits and waiting to be revitalized. There is not much national power that can confront them head-on. The opponent also took a fancy to this, so he dared to harass him frequently.
Moreover, long before He Wan ascended the throne, there were frequent wars at the border.
What a coincidence, the Jiangnan where Lu Feng is now is close to the Zeguo below.
After temporarily serving as the chief administrator of Baima City, Lu Feng can also receive information from all aspects in a more timely manner, such as the specific situation at the border.
Sitting at the desk, Lu Feng looked at the news brought back by Miao Feng.
"It seems that the war over Gutongguan is a bit tense. Zeguo originally had wolfish ambitions and wanted to usurp our flat and fertile land in Daxia and rob the population. In the late period of the previous dynasty, there was a concentration of troops to attack key points and break into the Central Plains. event."
"Thanks to the great wisdom and bravery of the emperor who founded the Great Xia Dynasty, he led a brave and fearless rebel army to destroy the arrogance of Zeguo, and drove them back outside the Gutong Pass. He also overthrew the cruel and incompetent rule of the previous dynasty and established Great Xia."
"Now that the new emperor has been on the throne for less than a year, they are even more aggressive."
Miao Feng was a little worried and said:
"I heard that Zeguo has been preparing for this time for a long time. The elites have gathered outside the Boutong Pass and other places adjacent to Daxia. Many people near the border have fled before the war escalated further."
"Baima City is quite far away from Bronze Pass. Those nearby cities and small places have already seen an influx of people fleeing."
"I think Zeguo wants to do what they did last time. They see that the new emperor's throne is not stable, and the country has been suffering from chronic diseases for a long time. They want to realize their ambitions again."
Lu Feng's eyes were fixed on the distant sky outside the study, "I remember General Yun Zhennan about guarding Gutong Pass."
"That's right."
Lu Feng of Yunzhennan, who was guarding Gutongguan, had also heard about it when he was in the capital. Although he was already in his sixties, his ambitions had not diminished, his aspirations were still high, and his spirit was even higher than that of many young people.
Moreover, as a veteran of three dynasties and with profound qualifications, He Wan valued him very much.
"Where's the Hu Kingdom?"
"The Hu Kingdom is relatively quieter than the Ze Kingdom, but it's not much better. It's just that General Yunqi Liu Quan is sitting there. In recent years, General Yunqi has killed many soldiers and soldiers of the Hu Kingdom who provoked me in Daxia. The generals have all put them out of the shadows. It's just that the interests are at hand, and Hu State is in contact with Ze State, so they keep making trouble."
This is true. General Yunqi's reputation is very high both at home and abroad in Daxia.
"Except for these two enemies, the rest of the vassal states are not of concern. Knock on the mountain to shock the tiger and kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. If we can completely break the legs of these two countries and kneel on the ground this time, we can live a stable life for decades."
After saying that, Lu Feng saw the messenger appearing outside the study.
"Sir, news from the capital."
Lu Feng asked Miao Feng to bring it in and opened the envelope. The contents inside were completely revealed to his eyes.
It said that the new chief administrator of Baima City has been selected and will be leaving the capital soon.
And this incoming chief executive happens to be one of the people Lu Feng helped clear his grievances in Tianlao.
When he saw the end of the letter, he told Lu Feng that there might be a big surprise then.
"Surprise?" Lu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, "What is a surprise?"
Miao Feng pouted, "It's useless for you to look at me, and I don't even know."
"Oh, I hate this kind of pretentiousness the most."
After being away from the capital for so long, Lu Feng missed the ridiculous days in the capital with his girls.
For example, the aloof and unisex Queen Zhao Ying, Concubine Liu Guifei, who looks fierce but is eaten to death by the Queen, Murong Yue, Yuan'er Wen'er, and He Wan.
But it's useless to think about it now. We can only wait for Wulin's mission to be completed.
After receiving the martial arts information from Tianxiang Pavilion, Lu Feng also began to send people out to collect information about the disappearance.
But overall, the results were not optimistic. Not only was no important information collected, but the disappearances continued.
Even a major sect like Jian Zong has lost three disciples, causing everyone in the martial arts world to panic.
During this period, Lu Feng also gradually found out the background of this martial arts leader, and also knew how many people believed in him and how many people did not.
Da Zongmen were arrogant and somewhat dissatisfied, but they didn't show it.
Sects such as Zhujian Villa and Tianxiang Pavilion opposed Tie Changlin of Wanyue Sect in the selection of martial arts leaders at that time, but unfortunately there were not enough votes to oppose.
The head of the Sword Sect is indifferent to fame and wealth, and he values a person who should keep aloof from the world. It doesn't matter who is elected or not.
However, although the Disha Gate is gone, the matter is not over yet.
Thinking of this, Lu Feng asked Miao Feng to prepare and take people with him to go to Wanyue Gate tomorrow.
"Do you want this martial arts leader to help you investigate the Disha Sect?" Miao Feng guessed what Lu Feng was thinking.
Lu Feng nodded, "Yes, we can't find anything here. Disha Sect is a martial arts sect, and other martial arts sects that come into contact with it know more or less something."
"Will Tie Changlin help?"
"This matter is already involved enough. If he doesn't help, I can put pressure on him on the charge of going against the imperial court and concealing the murderer. Anyone who can become the leader of the martial arts league is certainly not a fool. And I am in the service of the imperial court. Ordered to clean up the martial arts world, he will not let me seize any opportunity to cause trouble."
After the discussion, Miao Feng went down to prepare.
Early the next morning, Lu Feng set out for Wanyue Gate.
In addition to him and Miao Feng, Su Qian was also on a carriage.
She was also busy at the Inspectorate, and had nothing to do except practice martial arts every day.
Su Qian is also a veteran in the world, and with her experience, Lu Feng will be a little more helpful.
The distance between Wanyuemen and Baima City is about the same as the distance from Zhujian Villa to Baima City. It would take at least one day to go back and forth.
This time is different from last time. After hiring Qian Buyu to eliminate the bandits wandering around Baima City, there are more people coming and going on the official roads than before.
"It is said that Tie Changlin's cultivation is unfathomable, and no one knows his specific strength. The pair of iron sand palms he trained are even more unique in the martial arts world. Everyone who has seen him use his moves has died, and he was burdened with a lot when he was young. Human life." Su Qian said slowly.
Miao Feng was curious, "Sister Su, according to you, this Tie Changlin is at least capable of breaking through the realm."
"That's right, only strong, not weak."
