As Gu Yanwu said: "When big things happen, there are still people taller than us who can carry them."

Therefore, when the Xuanjia Army entered the city, Shen Ning did not immediately go to inquire about the news.

However, there is an old saying that goes: "If you can't do it, you will stop." So Shen Ning decided to find an opportunity to ask Ying Qin when attending Xianhui's hairpin ceremony tomorrow.

He would not have thought that tomorrow would be the last time that he and Ying Qin would meet in Shenjing City.

Late at night, the breeze is slightly cool, and the bed is warm enough for you to fall asleep.

The next day, early in the morning, before dawn, someone from the Prince's Mansion came to pick up Shen Ning.

"Weiliang, why is it so early?" Shen Ning asked yawning while sitting on the swaying carriage.

Sitting next to him was an eunuch who was young and fair-faced. He was Ying Qin's personal servant. His voice was high-pitched but not annoying at all. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always doted on Princess Pingyang. Today the princess and the hairpin ceremony , naturally I want to enter the palace earlier."

Shen Ning nodded. It was just a small hour, so he just asked casually.

Opening the curtain of the carriage, faint light spreads on the streets of Shenjing City. It can be vaguely seen that merchants in twos and threes have set up simple sheds and are preparing to make a living for the day. The pale white mist flows in the streets and alleys, creating a perfect atmosphere for this city. The city adds a bit of mystery.

When they arrived at the Prince's Mansion, Ying Qin had already dressed and sat at a table made of mahogany. There were a few simple pastries in front of him. When he saw Shen Ning coming, he motioned for him to eat something with him.

"Whether it is in the royal family or in ordinary people's homes, it can be regarded as a great gift in a woman's life. Many elders in the clan family will also come in person." Ying Qin narrated while eating pastries: "You and Although Xianhui is in love, it does not mean that the matter between you two is a done deal. The reason why she insists on you attending the wedding ceremony is simply to express an attitude to her father and the elders of the clan, an attitude of belonging. .You go as a foreign minister, which is against etiquette and law, so you must be careful in your actions and words."

"That's it." Shen Ning naturally knew the secret in his heart, and it didn't take Ying Qin Duo to say that he could understand it.

However, I am still very grateful to my brother-in-law-to-be for his thoughtfulness.

After Ying Qin finished eating the cakes, he stood up and prepared to leave, "Weiliang will take you to attend the haircut ceremony first, and I will come back later."

"Is it because of what happened to the Xuan Jia Army last night?" Shen Ning asked.

Ying Qin was a little surprised, "You usually like to practice magic in Tianshi Mansion, why do you know about the Xuanjia Army?"

"Last night, Gu Yanwu and I saw the Xuanjia Army entering the city in the west of the city. It seemed that the matter was not serious." Shen Ning explained.

"The Xuanjia Army is composed of practitioners selected by Emperor Taizu Gao when he was in power. Over the years, they have been responsible for guarding Donghuang Daze and the Beimang Dynasty in the north who have repeatedly violated the border." As Shen Ning is his friend, there is no need to win against Qin. He wanted to hide it, so he told him: "This time it is not the demon clan that is causing rebellion, but Beimang general Yelu Tuoba leading an army of 130,000 people to go south, intending to invade Hebei and Hedong Road. Fufeng City, which is the gateway to Hedong Road, has been lost. If there is an accident, the imperial court will need to mobilize a large army to suppress it."

Shen Ning frowned slightly, the land of China was not a dynasty of the Jin Dynasty, excluding Southern Xinjiang, Ryukyu... these small countries that were not threatening.

The biggest enemy of the Jin Dynasty was the Beimang Dynasty established by the northern nomads. It had a vast territory, strong folk customs, and the strength of the practitioners was not much weaker than the hundreds of immortal schools of the Jin Dynasty.

Although they usually send troops south to plunder resources, large-scale invasions like this are rare because they also face the threat of monsters. Compared with the Jin Dynasty, which can guard various places with hundreds of immortal families, their monsters The problem became more serious because the Beimang court did not have enough ability to drive the practitioners within the territory.

Seemingly sensing Shen Ning's doubts, Ying Qin said softly: "Beimang went south this time because Wei Young, the master of the Disaster Path, has arrived in Beimang, and their cattle and sheep died on a large scale, thus triggering a plague. , hundreds of thousands of people have died violently, and the severe shortage of resources has made the invasion south their only option."

The path of disaster! Weiyang!

Hearing these two words, Shen Ning felt a sudden change in his heart. He understood why Beimang invaded south on a large scale.

In this world, the movement of all things in nature has certain laws, so "Tao" evolved. Tao is the derivative of the laws of heaven and earth. After the gods leave, those who understand Tao will reach the peak of power in this world. people.

Every Tao has a position of dominance. When a living being takes the position of dominance, he must also bear the responsibilities entrusted to him by the "Tao" and maintain the growth laws of the world and all things.

The path of disaster is representative of disasters, such as floods, flash floods, wars, plagues... These are the responsibilities of successive disaster masters who succeed them as masters.

The current master of the Disaster Path is named Weiyang.

Although disasters can be controlled to a certain extent, every occurrence of a disaster means that countless lives will die, which is irreversible and irreversible.

For example, Shen Ning and others practice magic. After reaching the top, they will compete for the position of master of Qijidao, and they will always take on the task of inheriting and innovating magic.

Looking at the sun slowly rising in the east, Ying Qin let out a long sigh, "This time I plan to go to Hedong Road in person. The result of my father's discussion with me last night is that the 130,000 troops from Beimang are here. Those who are fighting for our Da Jin will not give up if they cannot tear off a piece of flesh and blood from Da Jin's body to make up for their losses. Many elite disciples from the Hundred Sects of the Jieshi Mountain Sect also need to rush to the north with me."

"Shen Ning hesitated and said: "Most of the forces are transferred to the north, and the monsters in various places and..."

Shen Ning did not say anything about the remaining two extremely dangerous forces, but Ying Qin naturally knew what he meant. "These things can only be left to Li Sizheng to think of a solution. In the coming days, Tianshi Mansion may be very busy." , what my father means is that half of the responsibility for dealing with monsters will be officially assigned to the Tianshi Mansion."

Shen Ning had no objection to this matter, because the disciples of Tianshi Mansion have always taken the stability of the world as their own responsibility.

To be honest, if the world can be peaceful, most of them are willing to die generously.

Because they were victims of wars and monsters... They were all qualified orphans picked up by Li Xuanji from various places. For them, Dajin was their home.

No matter what arrangements the court makes, the disciples of Tianshi Mansion will obey them unconditionally.
