The second prince waved his hand at Zhao Yiming and said lightly: "You don't have to thank me, this is your life-saving grace to me, of course, the life-saving grace is not enough, I will give two more choices." ”

The second prince looked at Zhao Yiming and continued: "I have learned some about you, your debriefing was given to the card master by Shenwu Hou, I can give you two choices, the first is to follow Shengwu Hou and be his cronies general." ”

"You should know that the Shengwu Hou has already led his troops to the border of the Great Zhou Empire, and there may be a war with the Great Zhou Empire, and I will also go there in person at that time, you will not only have the opportunity to obtain battle merits, but you also don't have to worry about the threat of the Shenwu Hou. ”

"Of course, even if we can't fight with the Great Zhou Empire, I will let Shengwu Hou go to the Southern Xinjiang Beacon City for reinforcements, and you will also have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. ”

After a slight pause, the second prince said again: "Second, I can give you the opportunity to lead the army alone, but you can only go to Donghai City to replace the Marquis of Nanning and become the commander of the Donghai Law Enforcement Army." ”

"How do you choose?"

Zhao Yiming listened to the two choices given to him by the second prince, and his heart suddenly weighed.

It's a big deal about his future.

Moreover, the second prince only gave him three years, during which he not only needed to improve his strength, but also to promote Wuhou.

So, he had to think about it.

Zhao Yiming's face was thoughtful, and he fell into deep thought.

"If you follow the Holy Martial Marquis, there will be no shortage of military exploits, and with my strength, it will be no problem to be a marquis within three years. ”

"However, it is almost impossible to be promoted to Wuhou within three years. ”

Zhao Yiming quickly rejected the first option.

Although this first choice can allow him to become a marquis quickly, he doesn't even need to worry about the threat of Shenwu Hou. However, working under the command of Shengwu Hou, most of the credit he received was still that of Shengwu Hou, after all, this was Shengwu Hou's leading the army.

In the army, as long as you are with the large army, then most of the combat achievements you have obtained are the leaders of the army.

Unless, like before, in the wilderness, Zhao Yiming went deep into the demon dragon's lair alone and killed many descendants of holy beasts alone, these credits belonged to him alone, and there was no need to share them with Yongwu Hou.

However, an opportunity like the Dragon's Nest is hard to come by, and Zhao Yiming doesn't think he will have such a good opportunity again.

Instead, he chose to go to the East China Sea and become the commander of the East China Sea Law Enforcement Army, taking charge of the First Army. Then, all the feats he has made will belong to him alone.

Moreover, being in charge of an army is very helpful for becoming a martial marquis.

Because the promotion of Wuhou is not only based on strength, but also on whether you are a good leader.

If Zhao Yiming works under the command of Shengwu Hou, no matter how good he behaves, the feudal marquis is the limit, after all, you are just a small soldier, and it is Shengwu Hou who really controls the marching formation.

In the East China Sea Law Enforcement Army, if Zhao Yiming can make great contributions and improve the strength of the army, then he can show his ability to lead troops, which will be of great help to the promotion of Wuhou.

It's just that the only thing that makes Zhao Yiming a little hesitant is.

Is there a war in the East China Sea?

Zhao Yiming recalled some situations in the East China Sea.

The East China Sea has always been very calm, after all, there is the Great Xia Navy there, and there is also the first-ranked Divine Arrow Marquis in charge.

In addition, the city lord of Donghai City is also a powerful marquis, ranked second, called Donghai Hou.

Not to mention, there is also Thor Island.

As a result, there were hardly any forces that could invade the Great Xia Empire through the East China Sea.

Even if some small overseas countries occasionally come to find trouble, they will all be cleaned up by the Great Xia Navy.

The East China Sea Law Enforcement Army led by the Marquis of Nanning has an awkward position in Donghai City, they are not as good as the navy of the Divine Arrow Marquis, nor are they as good as the city guards of the Marquis of the East China Sea.

How much can be achieved by just chasing down a few fugitives?

It's just that this is the only chance that Zhao Yiming can lead an army alone.

Zhao Yiming hesitated in his heart.

Will he follow the Shengwu Hou to eat the military exploits, or go to the East China Sea to conquer the world alone?

"Zhao Yiming, I advise you to choose the first one, so that you are almost certain to be a marquis. ”

At this time, the dumb uncle on the side persuaded: "Choose the second one, you will be suppressed by the Divine Arrow Marquis and the Donghai Marquis, and there will be no chance of meritorious service at all, you will have to be crowned Marquis in the Year of the Monkey?"

The second prince also said: "Do you know why I asked you to replace Nanninghou? Because Nanninghou himself wanted to withdraw from the East China Sea, he had almost no achievements in the East China Sea during these years. ”

"I'm not Nanning Hou!"

Zhao Yiming pondered for a moment, and finally made up his mind, he said with a firm look in his eyes: "I will choose the East China Sea and lead an army." ”

In the end, he chose to lead an army and be the boss himself, so that he no longer had to listen to other people's orders.

In this way, he can freely display his talents, reform the army according to his own ideas, and improve the combat power of the army.

Moreover, after he completely controls the law enforcement forces in the East China Sea, this army, as well as the generals in it, will be his foundation and foundation in the future.

At that time, he would not have to rely on anyone, and he would have the power to fight against the Shenwu Marquis Mansion.

"I chose the East China Sea Law Enforcement Force, and I also asked the second prince to help. Zhao Yiming looked at the second prince with a firm look in his eyes and said.

The second prince squinted his eyes and asked, "Are you sure? You can't regret it when the time comes, and it's even difficult for you to transfer the East China Sea Law Enforcement Force again." After all, the commander of the first army is not a joke, and it is not something that you can transfer out if you want to. ”

"I'm sure!" Zhao Yiming nodded firmly with a look in his eyes.

"Okay!" The second prince didn't continue to persuade, he nodded, and said to Zhao Yiming: "You go back and wait for the news, at most a week, your appointment documents will come down." ”

"Thank you, Second Prince!" Zhao Yiming bowed and saluted, then turned around and left.

Uncle Dumb looked at Zhao Yiming's back, shook his head with some pity and said: "What a stupid boy, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and when he hits a wall in the East China Sea, it's too late to regret it." ”

The second prince smiled slightly: "I admire him very much, he has self-confidence, courage, talent, and unlimited achievements in the future." ”

"But it is almost impossible for him to become a martial artist within three years, and it is difficult to become one of the top ten heavenly pride. ”

The dumb uncle shook his head, and then interceded for Zhao Yiming: "Your Highness, this son and the Seventh Princess are truly in love, I hope Your Highness can fulfill them for the sake of the Seventh Princess." ”

The second prince said lightly: "My sister can only marry the pride of the sky, I have given him the opportunity, he wants to marry a princess as a commoner, the difficulty is so great, if he has the ability, let him show me." ”

With that, the second prince turned around and walked away.

The dumb uncle smiled wryly and sighed, feeling some sympathy for Zhao Yiming in his heart.

Compared with Emperor Xia, the second prince's vision is more critical, and naturally, his requirements are more strict.

......

After bidding farewell to the second prince, Zhao Yiming left the palace.

After all, he is an outsider and cannot stay in the palace for a long time.

"Zhao Yiming!"

Shortly after leaving the palace, a familiar voice came from not far away.

Zhao Yiming turned his head to look, and suddenly saw Mu Bing and Lan Ling, as well as some disciples of the Black Water Holy Land, standing there looking at him, as if they were waiting for him.

Zhao Yiming immediately walked over and asked with a smile, "Are you ready to leave the imperial capital?"

He saw that the disciples of the Black Water Holy Land behind Lan Ling were all carrying burdens, obviously preparing to leave the imperial capital.

"Yes, I'm leaving, someone sees you become so strong, and I feel a lot of pressure in my heart, and I desperately want to improve my strength. Mu Bing said with a smile when he heard this, and after speaking, he glanced at Lan Ling next to him.

It's a pity that Lan Ling didn't have the slightest embarrassed expression on his face, his expression was flat, a pair of blue eyes stared at Zhao Yiming, and said seriously: "I have time to come to the East China Sea, there is an ancient palace where it is about to appear!"

"Senior Brother Lan Ling—"

Hearing Lan Ling's words, some of the Black Water Holy Land disciples behind him suddenly changed their faces greatly, and they all spoke, wanting to stop Lan Ling, but it was too late.

It was Mu Bing next to him, who looked at Lan Ling with some surprise and surprise, with an incredible look in his eyes.

Zhao Yiming was a little surprised by the reaction of these people, he looked at Lan Ling curiously, and asked with some confusion: "Ancient Palace, what Ancient Palace, are there any treasures in it?"

"I heard that it is the remains of the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, and it may contain some chance. Lan Ling didn't care about the stops of the few disciples of the Black Water Holy Land behind him, and explained to Zhao Yiming.

Zhao Yiming's heart suddenly shook when he heard this.

The Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, he had also heard of it, it was really too famous.

As early as when the demon clan ruled the Shenzhou Continent, the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea was the holy land of the demon clan, because the most powerful dragon clan among the demon clan lived there and controlled the entire ocean.

Later, the gods came to the world, and the first one to be destroyed was the East China Sea Dragon Palace, so that this demon holy land finally became a ruin.

Now, there are the ruins of the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, which is really amazing.

Moreover, such amazing news, Lan Ling would actually tell him, which surprised him a little.

"Why are you telling me this news?" Zhao Yiming couldn't help but ask.

Several disciples of the Black Water Holy Land behind Lan Ling, as well as Mu Bing, couldn't help but prick up their ears and look at Lan Ling curiously.

They were also very curious, why Lan Ling would tell Zhao Yiming the news, weren't they opponents?

Lan Ling didn't care about other people's eyes, he looked at Zhao Yiming, and said lightly: "You have refined the essence blood of the dragon carp, maybe the ancient hall of the East China Sea contains the treasures you need, which can make your dragon carp stronger." ”

"......" The disciples of the Black Water Holy Land are absolutely down, this guy is really an enemy, and he is still so simple.

Zhao Yiming asked with a smile: "You're not afraid that if I change, you won't be able to catch up with me?"

Lan Ling said lightly: "I'm just afraid that you will become weaker and let me lose an opponent." ”

After saying that, Lan Ling turned around and left.

Several disciples of the Black Water Holy Land were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then hurriedly followed.

"Senior Brother Lan Ling, wait for us!" shouted a few people chasing after them.

Zhao Yiming looked at Lan Ling's back, stunned, and couldn't help but shake his head and said, "It's really an interesting guy, but such a person is cute." ”

"What is cute, he has invincible confidence in himself, if you don't work hard, you will soon be surpassed by him. Mu Bing said with a smile.

"Then I'm really looking forward to it!"

Zhao Yiming looked at Lan Ling, who was about to disappear in the distance, the battle intent in his eyes flashed, in his heart, this was a respectable opponent.

He was looking forward to fighting with the Blue Spirit at his peak!
