"There are so many people!" Zuo Mo said with emotion as Lin Junyi and others, who had come all the way, were walking on the streets of the Imperial City, looking at the bustling crowds around them.
"Of course there are more." Wei Gong also smiled and said: "You know, there are a lot of people from the thirty-six major cities and more than a hundred small towns in the entire empire."
There were many people walking on the street, like them, in groups. At a glance, it was obvious that they were from a large family.
"The competition is scheduled for the day after tomorrow. In these two days, everyone can relax and have fun in this imperial city." Wei Gong continued.[
At that moment, a group of people chose to stay at an inn near the main square of Imperial City.
After booking the room, Lin Junyi went out directly. It was wrong to come to the Imperial City without paying a visit to his two senior brothers. Qian Yong also wanted to pay a visit.
"Last time Qian Yiyi left Longyuan City, there was no news, and I don't know if he is back now." Lin Junyi thought to himself.
When he arrived at the mansion of senior brother Song Jing, he was told by his servants that Song Jing was going to court. It was already noon and he was still going to court? Lin Junyi felt a little strange, so he went to Ji Yun's mansion instead.
"Are you... Mr. Lin?" As soon as they arrived at the gate of Ji Mansion, a guard guarding the door asked uncertainly.
"Exactly!" Lin Junyi didn't expect that more than four years had passed and someone in the Ji Mansion still knew him.
"Mr. Lin, you're here to see me, right?" the guard said, "Unfortunately, I went to the pilgrimage not long ago!"
"Huh? Senior Brother Ji also went to court?" Lin Junyi was surprised.
"Yes! Don't Mr. Lin know? Now the Daqian Empire is at war with several surrounding countries. I heard..." The guard looked around, and then whispered: "I heard that the Daqian Empire's army recently After repeated defeats, we have been beaten by several surrounding countries and have no strength to fight back... The emperor summoned the master, probably to discuss countermeasures."
He was defeated repeatedly!
Lin Junyi was surprised again and again. When he first came back from the East, he had heard about the war in Beixiang City, but in his opinion, the Daqian Empire had a profound foundation, and there were countless top masters hidden in the imperial city. When small countries came to provoke, it would definitely have a tragic ending, so they didn’t pay too much attention to it. However, unexpectedly, the Daqian Empire actually lost the battle!
Lin Junyi didn't ask any more questions and said, "Please let me know, senior brother, and I'll come visit you in two days."
"You must let me know," the guard said.
Lin Junyi nodded and immediately turned around and left.
At this time, it was already noon. Lin Junyi was walking on the street and happened to come to the side of Yanyu Tower without realizing it. He looked up at the signboard of "Yanyu Tower" and paused slightly: "Last time for the college competition, I came here to drink. After two drinks, the drinks at Yanyulou are really good, let’s go in and have a look.”
With a slight smile, Lin Junyi strode towards the gate of Yanyu Tower.
"Sir, please come inside!" When I walked to the door, a young man came up to me immediately, bending down and greeting me diligently.
Lin Junyi walked directly towards the second floor of Yanyu Building. When he got to the second floor, the tables upstairs were basically full. There was only one empty table in a corner. He just walked over.
"Sir, what kind of food and drinks would you like to order?" The waiter who followed wiped the table with the handkerchief on his shoulder and asked with a smile on his face.[
"Two or three plates of specialty dishes, and a jar of Yuquan wine," Lin Junyi said.
"Okay! Please wait a moment, sir!"
/
After the waiter left, within ten minutes, the food and drinks were served.
After pouring a bowl of wine, Lin Junyi drank by himself. Suddenly, he heard three or five scholar-looking people at a table next to him, eating and talking.
"The Daqian Empire suffered such a tragic defeat at this time!" One person sighed: "Half of the million-strong army was wiped out by a small border country!"
"Hmph! The land of the Hulu country is barren and not suitable for planting. It has long coveted the hundreds of millions of acres of fertile land in our Daqian Empire." Another person added: "In recent years, the Hulu country has produced a powerful one. King, he has worked hard to govern, and now he has managed the country to be extremely prosperous, and he is diligent in training his troops. It is not like the Daqian Empire, which has lived in peace and prosperity for a long time, neglecting to train its troops, and losing battles is normal."
"That's true. However, our Daqian Empire has a vast territory and a large population, which is a hundred times that of the Hulu Kingdom. How many peerless masters are there? Just send one or two casually, and as long as you kill the opponent's general, there will be no The battle was won.”
"Haha...Brother Sun, you are so naive! Don't underestimate the Hulu Kingdom. The Huru Kingdom has a heaven-defying master in the God Transformation Realm. Apart from this master in the God Transformation Realm, I I heard that the Hulu Kingdom has ten top Saint Realm coaches and hundreds of Transcendent Realm generals. How can you defeat him?"
"There are so many?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
"This is a small talk! Maybe there are more!"
"Hiss! If that's the case, then why fight? Isn't our Daqian Empire destined to lose?"
"Not necessarily!" The man said: "Our Daqian Empire actually has many super masters hiding in the world, but these people are idle and have no intention of joining the court as generals. If we can gather these people, there may not be no hope of winning. ."
Lin Junyi, who was sitting at the next table, frowned slightly when he heard this. When did the Hulu Kingdom become so powerful? In his last life, he had read many poems and students were extremely sensitive to politics, and he was no stranger to some of the surrounding countries.
The Hulu Kingdom ranks first among the surrounding small countries in terms of territory, population, economy, and military force, but it is far inferior to the Daqian Empire. The contemporary leader of the Hulu Kingdom is named Jiu Yunshen, who is now eight years old. At the age of ten, he took over the throne at the age of twelve. He has been in office for sixty-eight years now. He has a strategic mind, great ambitions, and is extremely capable. He has managed to turn a barren country into an economically developed country.
But in the previous life, Lin Junyi didn't pay much attention to force, and he didn't know when the Hulu Kingdom produced so many peerless masters.
"My eldest brother has been like me in the past four years. He has never returned home. He must have been participating in the battle against the Hulu Kingdom and several small countries on the border. I don't know how he is doing now." Lin Junyi was slightly worried: " When the eldest brother left, he was only at the eighth level of the Spiritual Embryo Realm. With his talent, there is no problem in reaching the fifth level of the Reborn Realm or even beyond. However, there are a lot of masters of the Transcendent Realm in the Hulu Kingdom..."
Lin Junyi secretly prayed in his heart that nothing would happen to his eldest brother. If the Hulu Kingdom dared to hurt his eldest brother, he swore that he would wipe out the Hulu Kingdom in his lifetime!
After taking a gulp of the wine in the bowl, Lin Junyi was about to pay and leave. At this moment, several familiar voices came up from the stairs on the second floor.
"Huh? It's Fan Jian, Yue Jin, and Tian Ye!" Lin Junyi's eyes suddenly narrowed. Lin Junyi's gaze was filled with murderous intent. He stopped standing up and continued to sit there.
Four years ago, the three of Fan Jian used a poisonous trick to frame himself, his sister-in-law and Yaoyao. Because Qian Yong agreed to deal with the three of them, Lin Junyi did not kill them personally. Unexpectedly, they were still alive and well. of!
"I almost forgot that Fan Jian's father, Fan Zelin, was the prime minister of the dynasty. Qian Yong was just an idle prince. Even if he wanted to deal with him, he was powerless!" Lin Junyi thought for a moment: "Except for Fan Jianzhi, In addition, the family power of Yue Jin and Tian Ye cannot be underestimated."
Seeing these three people again, Lin Junyi seemed to have suddenly planted a thorn in his heart. If he didn't remove it, he would feel really uncomfortable.[
"Just right! Yaoyao has a shadow in her heart because of the murder of her parents. Since she met Fan Jian and the others here, it's just right for Yaoyao to kill them and relieve the shadow in her heart." This time, Lin Junyi, who was accompanying the Lin family, also went out of his way to I called Yaoyao and asked her to come out and see more of the world.
"Ha!" After Fan Jian and three others came up, the five scholars who had just been chatting about state affairs got up and left after eating and drinking, making room for Fan Jian, Yue Jin, Tian Ye and two other strange young men whom Lin Junyi didn't know. Got a seat.
"Brother Fan, do you really plan to join the army?" After sitting down, Yue Jin immediately asked: "Now that the Daqian Empire has been defeated one after another, it is very dangerous to join the army."
"What do you know?" Fan Jian picked up a chopstick and threw the dish into his mouth, chewing, "The more rocks there are, the easier it is to achieve military exploits! With my status, do I have to go to the army with a small official function? I will be a general by then. Just let my men go to fight, but I can go to the battlefield myself? Silly!"
"That's true!" Yue Jin nodded and quickly said: "But now that the army of the Daqian Empire has been repeatedly defeated, it is not so easy to show military exploits. If you fight a few defeats, wouldn't you, Brother Fan, be famous? sweep the floor?"
"Hey! You didn't know this!" Fan Jian drank a glass of wine in one gulp, took a long breath, and then said: "I heard from my father that the imperial court will send out elite ace troops to fight recently. As soon as this team comes out, why is the Hulu Kingdom not completely defeated? My plan is to join this army and become a general. When the time comes, I can get military merit even while sitting, haha..."
"High! It's really high!" Yue Jin and others gave a thumbs up, "Brother Fan, in this case, do you think you can get a few of us in? I heard that the army is very interesting, how many brothers do we have?" When we are together, we can have a drink from time to time."
"Hmm..." Fan Jian frowned and muttered: "Logically speaking, this is not possible. The commander of this army is Bai Dongshui, the god of war. He governs the army strictly. If I can get a position, my father will come and plead in person. of……"
At this point, he suddenly changed the subject: "However, I am a general after all. It is normal for me to bring a few people under my command, no problem! When the time comes, you guys can just be aggrieved and become a small captain or something like that. Official positions and military exploits you receive will also count as your share!"
