Although Li Yuxia and Wei Suonan are still unconscious, they are now under Zheng Nan's control and are fine for the time being. The two of them are like personal guards. Whenever Zheng Nan goes out every day, they will follow them left and right.
, like a shadow.
Since the Xiao family lost seven heavenly members in the land of death, they seem to have gone into hibernation. Prime Minister Xiao did not go to court for several days in a row, and the reason for not going to court was even more rotten - his little wife gave birth, and he
To serve the confinement!
The golden-masked man Xiao Youran is even missing. According to reports from spies, the guy seems to have never come back. Ever since he was beaten up by Zheng Nan and fled, the guy has disappeared into the land of death. It is not known whether he is dead or alive.
On Gongsun Yu's side, Zheng Nan has been keeping Xiaowu's Shadow Rabbits under surveillance. The woman has been wandering in the Land of Death, and her location is very close to the depths of the Land of Death. It seems that that is hers.
Like a lair.
The current situation between her and Zheng Nan is: they hate each other so much, but there is nothing they can do about it. With strong defense, Zheng Nan is not afraid of Gongsun Yu at all; and when Zheng Nan is possessed by the God of Earth, Gongsun Yu
But there was a move called "Tian Qiu Yin" that was almost invincible, making it impossible for Zheng Nan to kill him.
Faced with this stalemate, Zheng Nan chose to stand still. Anyway, he was in control of Gongsun Yu's every move and was not afraid of her doing anything wrong.
In the past few days, Princess Luoyun, who usually came to see Zheng Nan to play, suddenly became busy. She stayed in the palace every day and never came to see Zheng Nan. Not only her, but also the entire palace seemed to be busy.
The atmosphere was tense, as if something big had happened.
Zheng Nan had not felt this relaxed for a long time: no enemy came to his door, and he did not have to chase any enemy to fight. He simply ran to his army to check on the status of his subordinates.
Zheng Nan was wearing a loose robe and walked casually in the spacious school grounds. He was surrounded by Dragon City guards wearing golden armor. These elite soldiers had been practicing hard since they were inspired by Zheng Nan.
"Lord Commander!"
When they saw Zheng Nan walking by, all the Dragon City Guards stopped their exercises and bowed respectfully to Zheng Nan. After Zheng Nan passed by, they started practicing again.
Zheng Nan looked at these hard-working soldiers and couldn't help but nod frequently. These guys were good-blooded men. Now that they have their own incentives, they are working even harder. The entire army is developing in a good situation.
Zheng Nan passed through these ordinary Dragon City guards wearing golden armor and came to the school field. Those who practice here are the real elites of Zheng Nan!
As soon as he entered the infield, Zheng Nan immediately changed his expression. The warm spring breeze on his face suddenly disappeared and turned into a majestic one.
The atmosphere in the inner court is even hotter than that of the big campus outside. Sixty men in white uniforms are sweating like rain for physical training! These sixty people are from the Zheng family, the Qin family, and the Li family.
As well as the elite of the 50,000 Dragon City Guards, they are also the backbone forces that Zheng Nan focuses on cultivating.
"Yang Tiezhu!"
Following Zheng Nan's shout, a young man with dark skin and an iron tower shape stood up. He also carried two huge stone locks in his hands, which seemed to weigh at least several hundred kilograms.
"Lord Commander, you are back!"
When Yang Tiezhu saw that it was Zheng Nan, he couldn't help but feel excited. When the others saw that it was their commander who was coming, they also stopped what they were doing and gathered around.
"Who asked you to stop? My name is Yang Tiezhu, are you Yang Tiezhu?" Seeing everyone stopped, Zheng Nan cursed angrily.
When everyone heard Zheng Nan's scolding, like horses hearing the crack of a whip, they all dispersed and continued training!
"Yang Tiezhu, please report on the progress of your training during my absence!"
"Yes, Lord Commander! This time you have been away for half a month. During this half month, the brothers have been practicing hard day and night. According to the training plan you arranged for us, not only has no one been lazy, but they have all overachieved!"
Yang Tiezhu was full of pride and continued: "Now half a month has passed, and everyone has improved a lot, thanks to your elixir and teachings!"
"Oh?" Hearing this, Zheng Nan secretly sensed Yang Tiezhu's strength and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "The Human Realm is four full, and it has increased to two full in half a month, which is not bad."
Hearing Zheng Nan's faint praise, Yang Tiezhu became even more proud. In his eyes, Zheng Nan's affirmation was priceless!
In the past half month, Yang Tiezhu has been recalling a scene every day: Zheng Nan's whole body was filled with blood-red energy, and with just a casual sword, he killed Xiao Ruyi of the Xiao family instantly! That was the first time he saw Zheng Nan
Nan took action. Zheng Nan was not his commander at that time, but it had already shocked Yang Tiezhu's heart!
And since Zheng Nan became his commander, Yang Tiezhu secretly vowed in his heart every day: One day, he will be like Zheng Nan, unstoppable and unstoppable!
Zheng Nan gently patted Yang Tiezhu's shoulder and smiled slightly: "Okay, go back and continue practicing. You still have a long way to go."
Yang Tiezhu nodded excitedly: "Yes!"
Zheng Nan took another circle in the infield. Both the fifty-six young people in the world and the four older ones were training very hard at the moment. Zheng Nan nodded with satisfaction.
Turn around and get ready to go out.
"Report! Report to the Commander-in-Chief, there is urgent military information from the Ministry of War!"
With an urgent shout, Zheng Nan saw an ordinary guard wearing golden armor hurried into the infield, kneeling on one knee, holding an official letter in his hand.
Zheng Nan frowned: "Are you a Dongcheng guard under my command?"
"Return to the commander of the troops, my subordinates are here!"
"Hmph, I remember I said that no one can enter the court without my consent, otherwise they will be dealt with by military law. Do you remember?!"
"This..." The expression of the guard who was kneeling on the ground changed, and he hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, your subordinates have received an emergency military situation, so..."
"Sophistry! Military law is military law and does not tolerate any excuses! According to what I said at the beginning, if someone who is not a member of the court breaks into the court without permission, the military stick will be 100! Because your first offense was unintentional, I will be given a lighter sentence. You can go to the Military Law Office to receive fifty troops.
Staff, get down!"
"Yes!" The unfortunate soldier no longer dared to argue and retreated tremblingly.
Zheng Nan turned around, faced the sixty men in white robes, and said seriously: "Remember, you are different from the people outside. You are the backbone of my Zheng Nan in the future. As long as you can persist, you are all
My brothers! Your status has been on a higher level since the day you entered this inner court. This is your glory and cannot be violated by outsiders!"
The sixty heroes all perked up and shouted in unison: "I understand!"
And in the hearts of these sixty people, there is a sense of pride in all of them: We are the commander's confidants. Compared with the people outside, we are one level higher! In the commander's heart, we are the most important.
, even the emergency military situation of the empire cannot offend our honor - just because of the people in our command!
Invisibly, these sixty people were influenced by Zheng Nan: the empire's military situation seemed to be less important than the commander's favor.
…
Zheng Nan opened the official letter marked "Emergency Military Information", glanced at the contents of the official letter, and couldn't help but frowned. The official letter read in black and white:
"Urgent Border Report:
On September 28, 774 in Tian'en calendar, a small army of Wenxing Kingdom invaded our border. The border guard general Xia Houjie led his troops to fight back and successfully retreated the enemy.
On October 1st, the Wenxing Kingdom's army invaded again. Thousands of people came. The border guard general Xia Houjie led a thousand troops. He defeated the enemy with a small number and defeated the enemy again!
On October 3rd, the Dahuo tribe, a tribe of barbarians on the border, sent 5,000 troops to invade. General Xiahoujie was ordered to resist them. On the same day, Wenxing Kingdom sent another 10,000 troops to attack our army from both sides. Our army was attacked from both sides and was defeated!
On October 4th, Wenxing Kingdom and the Dahuo Tribe formed an alliance and gathered 50,000 troops to invade the territory of our empire. General Xia Houzhen, the protector of the country, led 30,000 troops to counterattack, and the two sides were in a stalemate at Suolong Pass!
On October 10th, Wenxing Kingdom suddenly increased its troops by 200,000, and the army stormed Suolong Pass. The pass was broken, and General Xiahou Zhen was killed!
…
On October 24th, Wenxing Kingdom and the Dahuo tribe led a total of 400,000 troops and attacked the Empire's Longchi County. The military situation was urgent!
The majesty of our emperor must not be offended; the territory of the empire must not be trampled upon!
Now the Ministry of War is urgently recruiting generals to come to the court to discuss strategies against the enemy. When the generals receive the official letter, they rush to the palace to receive their orders!
Wuqu State Military Department, October 26, 774."
…
Zheng Nan looked at this official document and felt a huge rumbling in his heart. There were two key points in particular that surprised him the most.
The first key point: Dahuozu!
Zheng Nan clearly remembered that this living tribe was not new at all. It was the same tribe that he had encountered before - the Tian family!
Back in the secret cave beneath the Tian family, Zheng Nan relied on the possession of the God of the Earth to engage in a fierce battle with the Tian family ancestor. The black sky hook in the Tian family ancestor's hand revealed his identity - the Dahuo clan!
The Dahuo tribe is a barbarian tribe on the border of Wuqu State. Their folk customs are fierce and barbaric, and their behavior is despicable and dirty. The weapon they are best at is the iron hook. They are known as "the iron hook hooks the world, and the sky is not afraid of where it comes from."
!
Recalling this, Zheng Nan suddenly figured out many things: No wonder the Natian family disappeared for no reason. I am afraid that under the leadership of the ancestor of the Natian family, the entire Tian family returned to their ancestral land!
Now that this big living tribe dares to unite with Wenxing Kingdom and invade the territory of Wuqu Kingdom, maybe the Tian family will cause trouble!
Zheng Nan gritted his teeth secretly. He was too slow at first, and as a result, the Tian family disappeared quietly and failed to eradicate the roots in time. It seems that now the Tian family has received help and is about to make a comeback!
The second key point: Xia Houzhen was killed in battle!
Xiahou Zhen is relatively familiar to Zheng Nan. As the general who protects the country, he is also the mainstay of the Xiahou family and a staunch royalist. He has the strength of the ninth level of the earth realm and is considered a well-known figure in the army. Now
But he died unexpectedly in the early stages of the war!
Zheng Nan couldn't help but shook his head frequently: Is this how tragic heroes have been since ancient times, or is there another hidden secret?
Xia Houzhen is the most solid royalist, and one of the few people in the government and the public who dares to confront Prime Minister Xiao. Now that a war has broken out between the empires, Prime Minister Xiao has never come to court, and Xia Houzhen was also killed at this time.
Well, this seems to be good news for the Xiao family...
Zheng Nan thought about the messy relationship between this pair, but a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Dahuo family, Xiao family, Tian family, Wenxing country. Although this war is launched against Wuqu country, in my opinion
Come, there are quite a few old acquaintances of mine appearing..."
"Prepare your horses, I am going to enter the palace to face the Holy Spirit!" Zheng Nan quickly walked out of the inner court and ordered the guards waiting outside the door.
