Daqian Dynasty.
Qingzhou.
To the east of Qingzhou is the Yunmeng Empire. It was originally a sparsely populated border area, but now all the roads in Qingzhou are filled with caravans, including people from Yunmeng, Dagan, and people from the Western Regions. Cattle, sheep and horses, iron and porcelain, silk spices, gold and silver jewelry, and various rare medicinal materials are transported back and forth, making this trade route almost more prosperous than Nanzhou, and all kinds of good things gather here.
The soldiers in various cities in Qingzhou are all extremely strong. Even the lowest-level city defenders are all wearing soft armor made of black steel wires and holding black steel swords. Moreover, every one of them carries murderous intent and is very fierce. It looks like they have been on the battlefield, giving people a sense of security.
Elderly people from all over Qingzhou often lament that Qingzhou has really undergone earth-shaking changes in the past two years. It has changed from the bitter cold on the border and the poor and remote environment to become rich and prosperous.
Moreover, the public security was excellent. Not only were there almost no bandits or horse thieves, but even the grass-threshing valleys in the Yunmeng Empire were almost extinct. The people really lived a good life.
The reason why Qingzhou is like this is because the land of the four provinces of Qingzhou, and even the land of the seven states and twenty-five provinces on the long eastern border, are almost all the territory of the champion.
Under the management of Champion Hou, this bitter cold land has regained its prosperity and vitality.
To talk about this champion, it would take three days and three nights to talk about it. It is extremely legendary.
The name of this champion is "An", An who stabilizes the world and stabilizes the country.
He joined the army at the age of ten and made great achievements in battle. He used soldiers like a god and never suffered a defeat. He was a truly undefeated general.
Especially two years ago, he led a team of thousands of cavalry to raid the interior of the Yunmeng Kingdom. They broke through dozens of cities and traveled hundreds of thousands of miles across foreign lands. When Hong heard that the champion Hou Xiaojiang was coming, he was so frightened that he couldn't even eat.
To this day, no one in the world knows that "he has traveled hundreds of thousands of miles across foreign lands and is the number one champion in the army."
Nowadays, the champion marquis opens a palace, commands a military power, and is favored by the emperor. Although there are some objections in the court, his merits are clearly there, and there is a precedent of a young man becoming a marquis. He is famous and is rewarded for his unparalleled achievements. That counts. Nothing.
What is even more rare is that the champion prince was not born into a famous family and did not have any resources. He became a prince and opened a mansion by virtue of his unparalleled military exploits.
Nowadays, the entire Hou Mansion is unfathomable, and there are many masters under his command. In just a few years, the power established is not inferior to that of the famous families that have been established for hundreds of years.
After becoming a feudal official guarding one side, the champion made great efforts to develop and improve the people's livelihood. He also manufactured celestial crossbows, movable type printing, crystal glass, toothbrushes, toothpaste and other weird things that made a lot of money. Under various government orders that benefit the people, the area under his command naturally prospers, and the people are grateful and support him.
What is enviable about this champion is not his unparalleled military exploits and his martial prowess, but his luck in love that makes countless men envious and jealous.
Along the way, adventures and romances coexisted. While gaining the favor of experts, he also got to know many ladies of the family, such as Xiaojiabiyu, witches, chivalrous maidens, and even princesses from foreign lands. The harem group is harmonious, and each confidante is not just a vase. They can help the champion to deal with hundreds of information and deal with various complicated things.
Up to now, among the seven states and twenty-five provinces, the champion is the absolute uncrowned king. He will greatly discount the central government's decrees. Even the governor must be recommended by him, and the court has never refuted it.
The deeds of the champion are spread out one after another, and they are simply legendary notes and the protagonists in unofficial biographies.
The Champion House is located on the central axis of Qingzhou. It is a series of tall and majestic buildings with gardens within gardens, covering a radius of dozens of miles. There are pavilions, towers, eaves and arches everywhere. There are thousands of slaves and nursing masters coming in and out, but they are all very orderly and not chaotic at all, showing huge management capabilities.
In a garden, there was a young man and woman.
The young man's eyebrows are clear, as if carved with fine brushwork, the bridge of his nose is slightly high, the sky is full, and his eyes are filled with divine light, as if he can understand all the secrets of the world. Wearing a purple and gold robe, a purple gold crown on his head, and a bright yellow belt around his waist, it is a royal thing, obviously given by the emperor. Otherwise, even if he is waiting to wear it, it will be against the rules and he will be impeached.
The woman is dressed in gold-lined jade clothes and has a tall bun, showing mature charm and temperament. A pair of beautiful eyes, always showing infinite love when looking at the young man.
Needless to say, the young man is the champion who has recently rocked the world.
The woman is one of his harem, the eldest daughter of a wealthy family in Qingzhou, the gold price family, the largest jewelry store in Yujing City, and the shopkeeper of Jin Yutang, Jin Xixi.
Jin Xixi is reporting to the Champion Hou the major and minor events that have occurred in Qingzhou during this period. Some of these affairs are so involved that it is difficult for the harem group to make a decision. But the champion thinks for a moment, his eyes sparkle, and he can often give an answer quickly and accurately.
This champion not only has unparalleled martial arts skills, but also has a wisdom as deep as the sea.
In no time, all problems will be solved.
Just as Jin Xixi was becoming more and more admiring for Ai Lang and her beautiful eyes were shining brightly, the champion Hou had an intriguing smile on his lips. Suddenly his expression moved, he patted Jin Xixi's pretty face and said with a smile: "Okay, My little beauty, I’ll pamper you again tonight.”
Jin Xixi bit her lip, the luster in her beautiful eyes flowed, and there was a hint of resentment in her tone: "Ululaite is indeed a peerless beauty, even I am attracted to it and can't move my eyes, but the Marquis can't have that When you meet the new man, you forget the old man.”
"Don't think too much, friends are here. As the host, I naturally want to entertain them." The champion pinched Jin Xixi's face.
Jin Xixi's beautiful eyes turned: "Do you want me to prepare tea?"
"Huh, just an uninvited guest." The champion snorted coldly.
"In this case, I will go down first. Lord Marquis, don't forget to come to see me tonight."
His eyes were focused on the golden and graceful figure, and until the figure disappeared, the champion stood up, with his hands behind his back, his eyes swept into the void of nothing, and coldly snorted: "My house is full of masters, You can sneak in here, and you have probably practiced to the realm of ghosts and immortals. Now I give you a choice, either surrender to me, or die!!"
"Just a junior, do you really think that with a little fame you are invincible? So presumptuous! If you don't respect your seniors, you are seeking death!"
In the void, a cold snort suddenly echoed, suddenly far and now near, seeming real and then virtual, now far and now near, like the voice of ghosts and gods.
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
Especially when the word "seeking death" comes at the end, it's like two thin needles piercing the person's eardrums, trying to pierce both ears.
"Is this the Taoist art of the Buddhist Lingyan Sect? Are you the Eagle King among the eight demon kings in the world? Your Lingyan Sect mainly focuses on incantations, and the sound contains the power of the soul, which is somewhat similar to the roar of human immortals. "It's a pity that in front of me, it's like a barking dog." The champion shook his head and seemed to be dismissive of the strong man who took action in secret.
Even if the opponent is the strongest among the eight demon kings.
"Let you see my true strength!!"
Immediately, he stamped his left foot, and an unparalleled force erupted from his feet, directly cracking the place where he had previously stepped, and most of it collapsed. And the whole person turned into a violent surge, pulling out long air waves, and suddenly appeared ten feet away. At the same time, his five fingers rotated, and he raised his hand and punched out.
Boom! !
The air flow erupted like a tsunami, making continuous explosions.
In the originally empty void, a figure suddenly appeared, and then flew out like a rag doll, with a look of horror in its eyes. He couldn't believe that he would be discovered, let alone that he would be knocked out by a junior.
The demon immortals are powerful practitioners who practice in inhuman bodies. There are eight demon immortals in the world, namely the Peacock King, the Heavenly Snake King, the White Ape King, the Golden Spider King, the Silver Shark King, the Condor King, the Black Wolf King, the Xiang King, and the Black Wolf King. Fox King. Each of them is a well-known strong man, who has lived for a long time, and his own cultivation is unpredictable.
And this person right now is none other than the Condor King.
The Condor King has met countless strong men in his life, and even more martial arts masters have killed countless mortals.
This time I came to the Champion Hou Mansion, originally just to explore the bottom, but I didn't want to be noticed immediately.
And the champion's fists were even more violent and ferocious, full of destructive and explosive power. Although he had already heard about the champion's deeds, he expected that a mere fourteen-year-old or fifteen-year-old kid could only be so powerful, no matter how powerful he was. He is truly a half-step martial arts saint. But the punch just now was by no means as simple as that of a beginner or even an intermediate Martial Saint.
"Ahem." The Condor King coughed out blood.
This person has an aquiline nose and wears a cloak with many bird feathers on it.
"Junior, don't be so arrogant!"
His face was pale, with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, and his hands suddenly formed a Buddhist meditation gesture.
A ball of golden light emerged from the body of the Condor King, and the golden light shone brightly.
In this ball of golden light is a Buddhist bead called the "Lingyan Buddha Bead". It is a magic weapon made from the relics in the body of a martial saint-level monk. It is unparalleled in power.
The golden light was like substance, shining towards the champion, trying to wrap him up.
"Hmph, witherworm's little skills, how dare you try your best!!"
However, the champion sneered and stepped forward again. He didn't even take out the Sangmang Divine Spear, but punched out at the sweeping golden light. The roaring power directly tore through the golden light. Then he turned his fist into a claw, grabbed it in the air, and snatched away the Lingyan Buddha Bead without any hesitation.
"Poof!" The treasure was taken away, and the Condor King vomited blood again, and his breath was extremely weak.
At the same time, the Condor King also understood that this young man was so tyrannical that he, the Demon King, could not match him at all, and he was about to run away. However, the wind roared behind him, and before he could dodge, something hit his back with majestic force. The whole person staggered again, the sound of cracking bones sounded, and the vertebrae seemed to be broken.
In front of the object that hit him earlier was a rolling golden ball, which was his magic weapon, the Mantra Bead.
The next moment, the figure of the champion appeared in front of the Condor King. He reached forward with his arms, grabbed his shoulders, and then suddenly pressed down.
The Condor King felt the surging and boiling power, pressing down like the Tianzhu Mountain. He could no longer support it. With a "boom", he suddenly knelt on the ground, his knees deeply embedded in the ground, and even the hard floor tiles were broken. torn apart.
The Condor King is one of the eight demon kings. He is so arrogant. He suddenly screamed and the two children seemed to explode and struggled to stand up.
"Hmph, do I allow you to stand up?! Kneel down!"
Then the Champion Hou pressed his palm again, and the majestic energy and blood surged in his body. In an instant, the Yin God of the Condor King was severely injured and blocked, and his knees were sunk deep.
"I was late waiting for the rescuer to arrive. I hope you will forgive me!?"
The sound of fighting also alerted the guards in the Hou Mansion, who filed in. When they saw this scene, they instantly understood what had happened. They all knelt down on one knee, horrified.
"Okay, let's get up. I don't blame you. This is a master of ghosts and immortals after all. It's normal for you not to notice it." The Champion Hou took back his hand with a blank expression and glanced at the Condor King: "It's not easy for you to cultivate. I’ll give you one last chance, surrender or die. Of course, you don’t have to answer now, because you broke into the Marquis Mansion without permission. No matter you surrender or die, you will have to kneel down for three days and three nights.”
He tossed his sleeves and strode away.
"You will give me your answer in three days."
Seeing the figure of the champion striding away, all the guards felt reverence in their hearts.
As expected of the Marquis, he was able to capture even ghosts and immortals, and yet he had to convince him with such a domineering attitude.
As for the Condor King, he was even more excited.
Such a talented young man is truly rare. Even as an opponent, you can't help but be impressed by the other's talent and dominance.
And from the beginning to the end, he never asked why he broke into the Hou Mansion.
Either surrender or die, no matter which choice, the purpose is not important.
…
Three days later, a demon king who was proficient in Taoism appeared in the champion's mansion.
…
In a secret room.
The wind was strong, but it was only compressed into a very narrow part of the space, making that part of the space turbulent like a storm. In the center of the storm, the champion's figure slowly floated up, with nine different auras showing behind him, either mysterious, tyrannical, carefree, or swift...
"Return to the collection of books, return to the collection of nine ways, return the nine ways to one."
The champion murmured softly, and the next moment, the nine auras merged into one and enveloped his body at the same time.
And the storm within a few feet exploded and turned into waves of tyrannical energy, pushing in all directions. The entire secret room exploded instantly, a huge shaking sound was heard in the distance, and the entire mansion was like a giant ship drifting on the sea.
The next moment, the champion's eyes opened, and a light flashed in his eyes, seeming to break through the endless fog.
But the next moment, loneliness spread again.
"The past is still obscured by mist, but a corner of it has been peeked out. My name is 'An', and I am able to live in peace and harmony with the country, but I have never had a surname."
"From now on, I will take Yu as my surname."
"The jade of the East lasts forever in heaven and earth."
"I am my lord, Yu'an."
…
