The guard team actually has a special courtyard in the palace, because it is responsible for the security of the entire inner palace, so it is divided into three different directions.

These include a main courtyard and two annexes.

The main courtyard is occupied by the captain, because the captain is always guarding the island emperor's side, so even the people in the main courtyard rarely have the opportunity to see the captain.

The two deputy captains occupied the other two courtyards, which were called the East Courtyard and the West Courtyard.

Not long after lunch, Ang Lee entered the inner palace under the leadership of Watanabe Jiyu and went to the east courtyard where Kimura Valley lived.

In fact, there were two other newcomers to the guard team who came with Watanabe Jihao.

These two newcomers are about the same age as Li An, and they are also in their early twenties, but they both have the strength of the Martial Sect Realm.

Although everyone entered the guard team through connections, these two children of the family were obviously very dissatisfied with Li An, a related household that was temporarily squeezed in.

Li Ancai didn't care what these two guys thought of him, but later he still knew why these two guys didn't like him.

It turns out that there is a strict quota for newcomers to the guard every year, such as this year's ninth squad, which has only three places.

Ang Lee came in, and naturally squeezed out the third place.

The third person who was supposed to come in was from the same family as these two newcomers, but that guy's cultivation was really poor, and he hadn't reached the Martial Venerable realm yet.

Ang Lee squeezed out the quota of the two companions, and the two naturally didn't like him.

The east courtyard is full of birds and flowers, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a fairyland in this bustling Kyoto.

Because Kimura Valley was taking a lunch break, Li An and his entourage waited outside the gate of the courtyard until someone came to report that they could see them, and Watanabe Jihao entered with the three of them.

Before they could actually enter the Eastern Courtyard, Li An felt a powerful divine sense lock onto them.

Master of the Martial King Realm!

Li Ang was sure that it was the deputy corps Kimura Valley who was observing the three of them with his divine sense.

Li An had already killed a Martial King One Heavy Realm master, and Kimura Valley, who was also a Martial King One Heavy Realm, did not put too much pressure on him.

However, in order not to expose his strength too early, Li Ang still showed a trace of panic.

The divine consciousness disappeared with a sweep, and the whole process did not even take a second, but the people covered by the divine consciousness, including Watanabe Jihao, seemed to have experienced a life-and-death battle.

Inside the hall of the East Courtyard.

A middle-aged man wearing golden armor and carrying a golden sword at his waist with a white-faced face like a scholar sat on the top of the main hall, this person was ---- Kimura Valley, the overlord of the Eastern Courtyard and the deputy chief of the Island Emperor Guard.

There are four people on each side of the hall, wearing silver armor and carrying silver swords at their waists, which are the eight personal silver sword guards of Kimura Valley.

Not to mention Kimura Valley, which has the cultivation of the Martial King One Heavy Realm, just if the eight silver sword guards go there to fight, the timid people will be frightened and incontinent on the spot.

The coloring of the armor represents its rank within the Guard.

Like Ang Lee and the other two newcomers, they are not even qualified to wear battle armor now, and they are only wearing gray battle robes.

Gray is also the lowest-ranking person in the Island Emperor's Guard.

Truly becoming a member of the guard, the armor obtained by Ang Lee is also correspondingly gray.

Like the Yamamoto Herb that brought Li An in, his battle armor was only black.

The leader of the ninth squad, Jira Watanabe, was wearing a silver armor, but it was just a job requirement.

In terms of strength, Watanabe Jiyu is far inferior to Kimura Valley's Eight Great Silver Sword Guards.

Each of these eight people has the cultivation of the Martial Sect Ninefold, and in time, they will definitely break through to the Martial King First Heavy Realm, and then they will have the qualifications to be on an equal footing with Kimura Valley.

Eight masters whose strength is infinitely close to that of the Martial King Realm are angry, and the momentum can be imagined.

Fortunately, Li An was not affected by the majesty of the eight silver sword guards, and the other two newcomers were different, as soon as they entered this hall, they "pounced" and knelt on the ground at the same time.

Watanabe had already expected this kind of scene, so he was not too surprised, but he only looked back and saw that Ang Lee was still standing there, and he showed surprise.

"Get on your knees!"

Watanabe reprimanded coldly.

Li An was reluctant, but he was forced by the situation to pretend to others, so he could only kneel on one knee and clasp his hands into fists, performing the guard's bowing salute, rather than kneeling on both knees like the other two.

Watanabe raised his eyebrows, as if he was displeased, but he didn't say much, but turned around and clasped his fists with both hands and said, "Lord Deputy Captain, the three newcomers of the Ninth Squad this year have all arrived. ”

After a slight pause, he turned back and commanded,

"Tell each of you your name."

"Report to the deputy corps, the next name is Anli." Li An replied simply, he didn't say much, and if he said too much, he would lose it.

The eight silver sword guards put away their respective wiyas, and the other two newcomers felt a little better, but they didn't dare to change their posture when they knelt on the ground with their legs, and each of them reported their fists and said their names.

"In the small Aso, Wuzun's fivefold cultivation, and his father is Aso Xiaohai."

"The little Aso pounced, the fourfold cultivation of Wuzun, and the father is Aso Dahai."

Hearing the two of them report their respective names, Kimura Valley, who was expressionless, was slightly moved, and spoke: "It turns out that they are two descendants from the Aso family, who have the cultivation of the Martial Venerable Realm at a young age, and they will definitely have a bright future in the future. ”

"Thank you for the compliment!"

Aso and Aso pounced at the same time, with joy on their faces, as if they would be able to ascend to heaven if Kimura Valley said this.

Li An was ridiculed in his heart, these two guys are not very capable, but they will use the reputation of their fathers to pull the relationship.

However, the strength of the Aso clan in this island country is not too bad, and it is subordinate to the Musashi clan and the Yamamoto family.

Ang Lee also noticed a detail, that is, Aso and Aso pounced on the fourth silver knife guard on the right from time to time while talking.

Just now, when the eight silver sword guards released their coercion, the coercion of this silver sword guard was also the weakest, obviously the three of them knew each other and had a deep friendship.

Kimura Valley's words just now were a bit of selling the face of this silver sword guard, otherwise how could he see two descendants who only had the Martial Venerable Realm?

Kimura Valley ignored the two of them with a light response, but he deliberately glanced at Li An, and then asked Watanabe Jiyu, "Have you been assessed for these three newcomers?" ”

"If you go back to the deputy corps, the small ones have already been assessed, and there is no problem." Watanabe hurriedly replied.

Kimura Valley replied lightly, as if he was suddenly interested, and spoke: "There is still some time today, so let's let the three of them compete with each other." ”

Watanabe Jiyun was stunned at first, then showed a look of great joy on his face, turned around and shouted at Li An and the others: "The deputy captain wants to instruct a few of you, don't hurry up and thank you!" ”

Thanks to Erhuan (book friend 1125802510) for his reward, he became the first leader of this book.
