After the last attack by the Demon Sect, the Jiangehou Mansion rebuilt a stronger wall, deployed a large number of formations, and even equipped the army with forbidden weapons for defense.
The entire Jiangehou Mansion is like a small city. There are a large number of soldiers patrolling at all times. Even Wu Zun cannot break in.
"Little Marquis is back"
"Little Marquis is back"
When all the sergeants saw Ning Xiaochuan coming back, their faces showed excitement, and they knelt down to salute respectfully, with burning admiration in their eyes.
The gate of the Hou Mansion opened, and more than a hundred old people from the Hou Mansion immediately came out to greet them. The servants and maids knelt on the ground, which fully demonstrated Ning Xiaochuan's current status in the Jiange Hou Mansion.
Ning Xiaochuan defeated Peak Master Xunjun of the Yiyuan Sect outside the Imperial City, killed thousands of martial arts masters, defeated the rebels, and was so powerful that everyone in the Imperial City had long been talking about it.
Legends about Ning Xiaochuan are circulating in all the princes' mansions, restaurants, Qinglou prostitutes, Yangxin Hall, streets and alleys, and he has become the dream lover in the hearts of countless women.
Geniuses always shine brightly, causing countless envy and jealousy. What's more, Ning Xiaochuan is not only a genius, but also a top expert in the martial arts world.
Emperor Yulan and King Jinpeng both entered the Heavenly Palace to discuss Taoism. Ning Xiaochuan's martial arts cultivation was already regarded as the mainstay of the imperial court, and his martial arts cultivation was enough to rank among the top five in the entire imperial court.
In the Jiange Hou Mansion, Ning Xiaochuan's prestige was naturally higher. He was worshiped as the God of War by the warriors in the Hou Mansion. Many of his cousins made secret glances at him. After seeing Ning Xiaochuan's true form, they all became
anthomaniac.
Although they were all nymphomaniacs, with the elders of the clan standing by, no one really threw themselves at Ning Xiaochuan.
Ning Xiaochuan gave a few instructions to the old people in the Hou Mansion, then walked out from the crowd, and immediately rushed to Jiange to ask to see the four ancestors of the Jiange Mansion.
The four ancestors are stationed at Jiange all year round.
Few people in the Hou family knew that they were still alive.
The four of them are all old people who have lived for hundreds of years, three generations higher than Ning Xiaochuan, and each of them has a cultivation level above the fifth level of the Earth Master Realm.
The four of them have been practicing together for decades and have a tacit understanding. If they form a formation, they can defeat a strong man at the ninth level of the Earth Master Realm.
"The situation in the imperial city is changing rapidly. Even Emperor Yulan and King Jinpeng can join forces to fight against the enemy. This shows how serious the dilemma the imperial court is facing this time. Rebels from all walks of life are about to come to the imperial city.
Xiaochuan, what do you plan to do next?" one of the ancestors asked.
Ning Xiaochuan pondered for a moment and said: "First of all, the imperial city must not be breached."
"Once the imperial city is breached, all princes' mansions, including the Jiangehou Mansion, will be hit the hardest. The loss of money and resources will be trivial. By then, many princes' mansions will be wiped out, and all the glory and wealth will be wiped out.
They were turned into ashes, the nobles were turned into slaves, their wives and daughters were humiliated, their wealth and silk were robbed, and their clansmen were massacred. This was a catastrophic blow to the major princely houses."
"Secondly, if we really can't defend it and the imperial city is breached. As a last resort, we can only protect ourselves and lead the clan members of the Jiangehou Mansion to fight a bloody road to escape from the imperial city and go to another place.
Build your own foundation on a territory. As long as the clan members are still there and the training resources are still there, the Jiangehou Mansion will be able to make a comeback soon, dominate the Yulan Empire, and have the power to call forth the wind and rain."
The old Marquis walked out from behind the door with light steps and said: "There are more than 18,000 direct clan members of the Jiange Marquis Mansion in the imperial city, plus those from the collateral clans, domestic servants, female dependents, and sergeants.
, the total number exceeds 100,000. It is too difficult to lead everyone out of the imperial city."
The old Marquis came out of confinement, which was beyond Ning Xiaochuan's expectations, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He could finally return his burden to the old Marquis.
Ning Xiaochuan has made a decision that once he helps the Jiangehou Mansion overcome this difficulty, he will leave the Yulan Empire to go out for training.
Of course, when he left the Yulan Empire, he didn't just go to experience.
More importantly, he had to leave the Yulan Empire due to threats from Nie Lanxin and Baili Ancestor.
Although his current cultivation level is very powerful, there is still a big gap compared with figures like Nie Lanxin and Baili Ancestor. If he continues to stay in Jiangehou Mansion, it will only bring negative consequences to Jiangehou Mansion.
A devastating disaster.
It's better to leave the Yulan Empire first and go outside to practice so that they can't find you at all. After your cultivation becomes stronger, you can come back and eliminate these two enemies.
Besides, Sui Hanyu also said that the place where he went out for training for the first time was not too far away from the Yulan Empire, and he could come back at any time.
The old Marquis was standing behind the door just now, but Ning Xiaochuan was completely unaware of his aura. Although Ning Xiaochuan did not have the mental power to use the Seven Apertures God and Demon Heart, it was still quite terrifying.
This shows that after refining the essence river of heaven and earth, the old marquis has reached a new level of martial arts cultivation. It is very likely that he has surpassed the ninth level of the earthly realm and realized the "ladder to heaven".
An ancestor said: "Actually, recently, we have sent people to send most of the clan members out of the imperial city in batches. Otherwise, there would be dozens of clan members, subordinates, servants, and sergeants in the imperial city in total.
Thousands of people.”
Another ancestor said: "If you want to transfer most of the clan members and resources of the Jiangehou Mansion out of the imperial city, you will need at least ten warrior-level figures to escort you."
In the imperial city, it is probably only the Grand Jinpeng Palace that can mobilize the power of ten Martial Lords at the same time. The other princes' mansions are far behind, and being able to find three Martial Lords is already quite impressive.
Ning Xiaochuan said: "Ancestors, don't worry, as long as we can break out of the imperial city, experts will naturally come to welcome us."
"There will still be masters?" Old Marquis was slightly surprised.
Ning Xiaochuan nodded and said: "To be honest, in the past few years, in addition to establishing the Divine Sword Palace, I also supported another force outside the imperial city. At that time, I was trying to prevent chaos in the world and leave a way out for the Jiange Hou Mansion.
Evacuate the imperial city safely at this critical moment."
"Three to five years are too short after all. Being able to build the Divine Sword Palace is already quite good, and it will greatly improve the overall strength of the Jiangehou Mansion."
"Xiaochuan, I understand your painstaking efforts for the Jiangehou Mansion, but the time is too short. Even if you have established a force, it has not grown up yet. In the face of the huge rebel force, I am afraid that you will become cannon fodder and be crushed.
." The old Marquis shook his head gently.
It is not easy to establish a power. Without a century-old foundation, it is difficult to develop and grow.
Therefore, the old marquis and the four ancestors do not have much confidence in the power established by Ning Xiaochuan. They feel that the strength cultivated by Ning Xiaochuan must not have grown up yet and can only be regarded as a small power. The small power secretly cultivated by Jiange Hou Mansion does not count.
Actually, so they didn't take Ning Xiaochuan's words to heart.
An ancestor said: "Actually, with the current strength of our Jiange Marquis Mansion, no Marquis Mansion is stronger than us. If the imperial city is destroyed, it will not be easy to transfer the clansmen and resources out.
It’s a difficult thing.”
Ning Xiaochuan also nodded secretly. With the current strength of Jiangehou Mansion, it is indeed quite strong. Even if the imperial city is breached, if you want to take the attention of Jiangehou Mansion, you will definitely pay a heavy price. Therefore, he temporarily
He didn't tell anyone about Ghost Villa, and it wouldn't be too late to use the power of Ghost Villa until he could really use it.
The old marquis also nodded and said: "Qiancheng has been expanding its power in the southern border fortress over the years, and I believe that the foundation has been quite solid. After withdrawing from the imperial city, he immediately went to southern Xinjiang to join Qiancheng. We Jiangehou
The mansion will still prosper. It’s just..."
The old Marquis put his hands behind his back and stared at the courtyard and pavilions of the Jiangehou Mansion. After a long silence, he said: "After all, there are thousands of years of foundation left by our ancestors in the imperial city, and the Jiangehou Mansion also represents the glory and achievements created by the ancestors of all generations.
Due to my meritorious service, unless it is absolutely necessary, I decided to advance and retreat together with the imperial court and fight against the rebels with all my strength."
Although the old Marquis was very resentful towards Emperor Yulan, he still had feelings for Chaoyue and did not want the inheritance left by his ancestors to be ruined in his own hands.
Ning Xiaochuan understood the mood of the old marquis very well. If he could maintain the status of the Jiange Marquis Mansion, who would be willing to move to a remote place?
In the next two days, there were more and more rebels outside the imperial city, and the sound of war drums could be heard all the time. The sounds of fighting continued, making the princes and nobles who had previously been silent in their enjoyment become frightened.
If the imperial city was breached, it would be like the sky falling.
Ning Xiaochuan does not need to practice deliberately now. The earth core beads in the heart palace will automatically move, absorbing the profound energy of heaven and earth into the body and transforming it into his own power.
Since the last time he failed to break through to the sixth level of the Earth Master Realm, he has never felt any signs of a breakthrough. It seems that as he goes further, it becomes more and more difficult to break through the realm, even if he has a physique that is rare to see in ten thousand years.
No exception, you must wait for the opportunity.
Ning Xiaochuan has been paying close attention to the war outside the imperial city for the past two days.
This is a real war, with millions of armies fighting. At its peak, tens of millions of soldiers and warriors were fighting. Thousands of people died every moment. The blood dyed the moat blood red, and the corpses almost covered the river.
All filled up.
The thick walls of the Imperial City were in tatters. If it were not protected by formations, the Imperial City would have been captured long ago.
The rebels who gathered from various places also suffered heavy losses, with numerous casualties.
Every black stone shell that falls can clear out a large area of rebels, killing hundreds of people.
This kind of large-scale battle is simply shocking and shocking. It is rare to see such a large-scale melee with so many people on earth. There are rivers of blood and mountains of corpses.
The population of the Yulan Empire exceeds 10 billion, and only a fifth-grade civilization can break out such a terrifying war.
Note: The territory of the Yulan Empire is set to be as large as 40 Asias, with a population of more than 10 billion, so it is normal for the imperial court to gather tens of millions of troops, and the number of casualties must also be huge.
The mortality rate of war is inherently high. Just like many dynasty changes in ancient times, more than half of the country's population will die. If more than a majority of the population, that is quite terrifying.
Just like in the early Qing Dynasty, all the people in Sichuan were killed, and the entire Sichuan became a virgin forest, and tigers and wolves could be seen everywhere. Later, a group of people were brought from Huguang, and Sichuan.
There are people in Sichuan. This is the horror of war
