The matter of Qing'an City came to an end, and Xu Ning breathed a sigh of relief, the city may not be as bright as it used to be in the future for a period of time. But as Lu Tianming said, no one cares about what happened in this "overnight city".

Xu Ning always felt that this was a potential hidden danger, such a city was a little hidden, even if the Dongzhou Empire wanted to manage it one day, it would be impossible because of the interests of all parties, not to mention, a fixed city like Qingfeng City would pay a lot of taxes to the Dongzhou royal family every year, and they would not allow such a city to plunder wealth casually, so the battle between them would start sooner or later.

Forget it, I don't have the energy to care about these things now.

After a short day of rest in Qing'an City, Xu Ning took advantage of the arrival of dawn to go on the road, Fang Xiaoqian and some other female disciples of the Holy Daughter Sect were busy treating most of them, Xu Ning did not bother them, just said goodbye to the three ancestors and grandchildren of the Lu family, brought some necessary equipment and left.

It may be a bit ruthless to do this, but the love of children is heroic and short-lived, and Xu Ning is unwilling to let Fang Xiaoqian feel at ease. When she found out, she would definitely scold herself for being a bastard, but it was better than the scene of two eyes and four lines of tears crying.

When Xu Ning left, Lu Tianming gave him a weapon and told Xu Ning in detail. Don't ask for a city, but ask for a killing sword, although Xu Ning doesn't often use weapons, he loves this gift very much.

The Panlong Sword is not a thing from Dongzhou, but comes from the northern barbarians.

According to Lu Tianming. When he was young, in addition to being a bounty hunter, he was more keen to serve in the army of the Dongzhou Empire. However, he was rather loose and free by nature, and was not suitable for the Imperial Army, so after a few years of military service as a young man, he left on his own. In between. He had also been to the land of the northern barbarians. And the Panlong Sword was obtained by himself at that time.

Lu Tianming is famous for using knives, knives are the overlord of weapons, and they are powerful and sweep thousands of armies! But anyone who is a general or a powerful person. In actual combat, he prefers to use knives.

But the sword is the king of weapons! The sword walks lightly. It looks more elegant. The momentum is extraordinary, although Lu Tianming has obtained the Panlong Sword, he has been collecting it for so many years.

The people of the Lu family are moving to Qing'an City one after another. In the process of moving, Lu Tianming found this long sword that had been sleeping for decades, and when he opened it, two coiling dragons appeared from the hilt, coiling around the sword body, opening a big mouth at the end of the handle, and the sword was shaped like two dragon tails. I haven't opened it for decades, and the edge still emits bursts of cold air, and after taking it out, it is a sharp weapon that sharpens iron like clay. It is a sin to sleep in your own house with such a weapon.

Xu Ning's next target is still Chiba City, and the mystery that haunts him is getting bigger and bigger, and he can't wait for it to solve itself. If you want to figure things out, you still have to rely on yourself, if the weird girl tribe who did evil in the Dongzhou Empire really has something to do with the Chiba family, then at this moment, she has already become the target of the Chiba family.

People are about to die, and their words are also good, Xu Ning is really willing to believe what Chiba Zhenghong said before he died.

All the way forward, at noon, Xu Ning was already three hundred miles away from Qing'an City, and re-embarked on the road from the mountains and forests, and the rest of the things were much easier, as long as he walked along this wide road, it was a matter of time before he arrived at Chiba City.

Chiba Castle is located due southeast, and the city of the Dongzhou Imperial Family, Tianxia Castle, is located in the east, and the straight-line distance between the two cities is only about 500 li. Looking down from the sky, Chiba Castle looks like the left arm of the Dongzhou Empire.

On the right, there is also a right arm, but this right arm is very noble, and few people approach him. That place, known as the Xianhai side, was the hermit royal family of the Dongzhou Empire for all dynasties, and it was also the protector of the imperial power of the entire empire. For many years, no one knew what was going on with them, but once there was a major war, a large number of royal armies would appear, and these people's combat effectiveness would be even stronger and more arrogant, and it could be said that they were invincible. These people were nobles in the imperial army, both in terms of blood and combat effectiveness.

In fact, in the entire battle system of the Dongzhou Empire, the strength of the army is not balanced, and the status is not the same, in addition to the royal army, there are three kinds of armies, with different statuses.

The imperial army was of course the highest status, and it is said that they regarded participation in the war as an honor for the nobility, and once they were on the battlefield, they showed a strong spirit of sacrifice, as if it were a humiliation not to die in battle. Therefore, the royal army rarely appears, and as soon as it appears, it means that this battle is very difficult to fight.

The second in status is called the family army, such as the Chiba family, in fact, it can also be called the Chiba family, in Qingfeng City, Ouyang Zhantian's family is the same, and it was also called the Ouyang family in the past. Being able to rank up to the status of the family shows that their family is numerous, and their combat effectiveness is one of the best in the Dongzhou Empire. In most battles, it was the army formed by the sons of these families. Therefore, once the war started, in addition to the imperial flags of the Dongzhou Empire, more family emblems of different families fluttered on the battlefield. The purpose of these people participating in the war was not simply for their position in the Dongzhou Empire, but also for plundering wealth. Yes, it is not surprising that the purpose of fighting a war is ultimately for wealth and resources. The Dongzhou royal family stipulated that the wealth of any family occupied could be plundered at will.

So, no matter what kind of war, the nature is not good.

The third in terms of identity is like Xu Ning's father Xu Lie, the children of various families. There are not many people out of them, so the ability required is very high, and after entering the imperial army, they will either be incorporated into the imperial army, or into the family army, and some will also develop into a group on their own. The main reason for this is to serve in the military or to get ahead personally and bring glory to the family.

The fourth type of army is not worth mentioning, there are a lot of people, but it is basically in the nature of cannon fodder, many people are desperate, they can't even afford to eat, so they simply go to the army to eat and drink, sometimes some bandits and bandits are caught, there is nowhere to go, and they are incorporated into the fourth type of army. Once the war started, they were the first to go to the battlefield, mostly to delay time, test the truth, and to put it bluntly, they were sent to death. Therefore, in order to make it easier for these people to escape, most of them do not even have armor, so it is easy to escape. But in this way, the probability of death and injury is greater.

Xu Ning's understanding of the army is probably like this, and he speculated all the way that it was a joke that he wanted to have a hard fight with the Chiba family. Even if the Chiba family really had some illegal acts, they might not be punished based on their contributions to the Dongzhou Imperial Family. Perhaps, this conspiracy also has a part in the Dongzhou Empire.

However, good is good, evil is evil, Xu Ning's brain is a little paranoid, he must find out!

After walking a few more miles, his stomach began to protest, and he came out early in the morning, without a sip of water, and it seemed that he was going to find a place to fight his teeth. After calculating the distance, there should be a post station a short distance ahead.

This era is a bit similar to the ancient times on the earth, the post station is an indispensable thing, and the function is also very similar, although it was established by the empire, but it usually receives some pedestrians, caravans and the like, and Xu Ning is a genuine "bounty hunter", it is most suitable to rest in this kind of place.

Quicken the pace, less than five miles away, I saw a three-story building next to the main road, although it was all wooden structure, it looked very simple, but I could already smell a fragrance in the distance.

"Have a good meal before you hit the road!" Xu Ning touched his stomach and hurried over.

There were several carriages parked in front of the door, and there were some leather goods and grains on them, and it did not seem to be a big caravan, and a few plainly dressed people were eating and drinking in front of the door, and the flatbread and vegetables and inferior wine were all eating very sweetly. When Xu Ning saw the food, the worms in his stomach began to churn again.

"Official, what do you have to eat?"

This is not a wine shop or restaurant, so naturally it can't be called the little second in charge, and it is generally called an official. The post station is small, and he is also an official.

"Oh, there are a lot of flatbreads and village brews, and as for the dishes, there are green vegetables, bamboo shoots, and pine mushrooms, so take a break and then send them up."

The man in charge was an old man, wearing the clothes of an old post officer, to be honest, this person was actually not as good as the owner of his own liquor store, and he couldn't get the money he earned, just a little salary every year.

"Oh, these are too plain, are there any fish? I'm not afraid to spend money. Xu Ning sat down and said with a slight frown.

"This little brother, I'm really embarrassed, I'm a small post here, and I didn't prepare so much fish and meat." The old man finished his work and walked over and said apologetically.

"Oh, forget it, just bring me some good wine." Xu Ning sighed.

"This ...... Anyway, I still have a jar to keep for myself. The old man said helplessly, turning around and going back to prepare.

After a while, a few plates were served, and sure enough, they were all vegetarian dishes such as green vegetables and mountain delicacies, as well as a jar of soju.

Xu Ning is not the kind of person who is gluttonous and picky, but a person who cultivates martial arts, his body consumption is much larger than that of normal people, and meat can replenish his body, since he doesn't have it, he has to give up.

He opened the jar and sniffed it, his brow furrowed, and a look of displeasure appeared on his face. There is no meat, and wine can also replenish some energy, but this wine is really too bad, and even the wine drunk by the Xu family is much better than this.

"This wine is so light that it doesn't taste at all." Xu Ning put it on the table, looking sullen.

"This little brother, you are content, our wine is almost like cold water." An old man at the next table saw that Xu Ning was a little depressed, and said with a smile. As he spoke, he moved his jar over.

Xu Ning snorted, and sure enough, taking the wine was like adding a few bowls of vinegar to cold water.

"Well, it looks like it's going to be a bit of a deal." Xu Ning smiled bitterly and returned the courtesy. (To be continued......)
