Chapter Thirty-Nine—The Smoke of Anseong (I)

The breeze blew the breath of early autumn, and on this Demon Spirit Continent, which was about to ignite the smoke of war and was destined to be no longer ordinary, a little spark was shining in the sky, and there were bursts of urgent military reports. Among them, there was a herald wearing a red and purple tasseled helmet, Pegasus, who rushed back to the territory of the feudal kingdom from Ruocheng, who had a battle broke out from the front line, and this herald was the purple gold guard of Zhongcheng, the capital of the feudal country. Before the Holy Emperor personally conquered the Qi Kingdom, he transferred half of the purple gold guards in Zhongcheng, leaving the other half of the five thousand purple gold guards and the Xuanyi women's army of the eldest princess Rong Le 8,000 people. These two forces are stationed in Zhongcheng together, protecting the capital of the feudal state and the civil and military officials who have not accompanied them, as well as the eldest princess Rong Le, who is now pregnant, the queen of the Holy Emperor's dynasty. When the Holy Emperor was leaving, he entrusted the Consul General of Princess Rongle with state affairs, and the eight elders assisted him. I didn't think that the Holy Emperor had just entered Donglinguan, but he heard this huge good news from Zhongcheng, and the Holy Emperor, who had always been calm and indifferent, was happy to dance at that time, and as soon as he changed his style and attitude towards people, he immediately sent Zijin guards back to Zhongcheng to visit the queen. As for himself, he led 30,000 elite feudal troops to attack Ruocheng not far from Donglinguan at great speed. Around Wakajo, there were nearly 70,000 troops from the Fengzhan Society that went north from the Huicheng, plus the 50,000 troops of the 1st and 3rd Halls of the Fengzhan Society, which originally attacked the East Linguan. In total, the difference between the total number of troops and the Qi State is nearly 50,000. This huge gap made the Holy Emperor believe that he could easily pacify the southern part of Qi and even march into Xuancheng.

The capital of the country, the highest part of the city is backed by the mountain range, and the imperial city of the country is sealed. Like the Qi State, the palace that symbolizes the highest power of the feudal state is still called Liuyun. No one knows the reason for the general names of the two kingdoms of Feng Qi, which seems to involve the ancestors of the Qi State and the Feng State when they founded the dynasty, and they were both generals of the Yu Dynasty back then. But this secret, with the passage of time, the change of dynasties and the ups and downs of the Nine Domains, became an almost permanent mystery.

Standing on the Liuyun Palace, the eldest princess Rong Le was still wearing a red dress like a snow, with a phoenix tail crown on her head. Her eyes narrowed slightly, staring in the direction of Dream City in the distance. Princess Rongle is now less than a month pregnant, and she can't see any pregnancy from her appearance, but her expression is slightly worried. The personal maids who followed her knew a little bit about it, and knew that their queen mother was worried about the safety of her daughter. According to rumors, the lord of Ruri has now entered the realm of Anseong, where the middle scroll of the legendary secret book remains. At this time, the lord of Liuli and her two companions had already entered the territory of Anseong.

The reason why Princess Rongle is so worried about her daughter Liuli County Lord, that is, her daughter Bu Yuehan. It's because Anseong has never been to Ancheng since the eldest princess Rong Le was sensible, and the population of this city and the eleven counties under its jurisdiction combined is not even as large as the population of a dream city. Most of the people living around Anseong were the subordinates of the general who received this honor when the secret books were sealed. The general's bones were buried under a mountain range near Anseong. However, Anseong is still a city shrouded in a hint of mystery, and the merchants who usually seal the country will not pass through Anseong for no reason. Most of the people still have a little bit of a grudge against this Anseong.

Now when the members of the Sealing War Society who followed the Lord of Liuli County Bu Yuehan reported to Princess Rong Le and told her such news, Princess Rong Le's first reaction was to immediately walk out of the Liuyun Palace and look at the southwest direction where Ancheng was located. Her originally calm, cold and strong face trembled, and she worried about her daughter. But when she thought of her daughter's indifference to her like a passerby, Princess Rong Le's heart couldn't help but feel a deep sense of guilt. Now that she is pregnant, she should not be moved to tears easily, but when she thinks of her daughter, tears can't stop flowing.

This behavior of Eldest Princess Rong Le even alarmed the eight elders of the Feng Zhan Society until the end, and they had always regarded the sect leader's lack of a son as a major problem. There is even a straightforward elder who has already advised the Holy Emperor not to favor the eldest princess Rongle alone, but also to recruit concubines, and the inheritance of the imperial heir is the most important thing. It's just that the Holy Emperor doesn't care about this, he still favors Princess Rongle alone, no matter how outstanding the other women are and how talented they are. The Holy Emperor couldn't even look at it, and in his heart, the figure of the woman wearing a red dress and mottled long hair had already been imprinted in his heart for a long time. This woman is only his wife, his pity. Now that the eldest princess Rong Le is pregnant, the eight elders don't say anything more because of the Holy Emperor. They wisely closed their mouths, but they didn't expect that Eldest Princess Rongle's mood swings would be so big today, so the eight elders who heard the news realized that the situation was a bit serious. In a hurry, the eight elders who had been consulting the classics in the upper study actually rushed to the Liuyun Hall side by side to persuade Princess Rongle to relax. They will send their capable subordinates to take care of the Lord of Liuli, and they will definitely not let her have any problems.

The reason why the eight elders are so humble, the first point is also because after all, the eldest princess Rong Le is the only one in the six palaces of the Holy Emperor, and she is also the queen of the mother's world, no matter how powerful they are, they will not have a bad relationship with the eldest princess Rong Le for no reason; Although they don't feel empathy, they are also people with children, and there is nothing they can do about it.

The eldest princess Rong Le finally calmed down her emotions under the persuasion of many parties, and her face finally became sobbing into a smile, and she regained her charm and beauty. In fact, no one noticed the trace of cunning and perseverance that swept through the depths of Princess Rongle's eyes

The news that reached Zhongcheng was not wrong, Jiang Yuehan had indeed entered the realm of Ancheng now. She was followed by Shi Lanbo and Nangong Yun, who stayed in the feudal country, according to the news transmitted by the rumors, the middle scroll of the secret world book was left somewhere in Anseong City, and it was rumored that the general himself was one of the three generals led by the founding emperor of the feudal state. At the beginning, he sealed the middle scroll of his secret book in Anseong.

Today, Jiang Yuehan, who was still wearing a red dress, walked quickly into the sparsely populated Ancheng. Behind her was a young man dressed in black with a slight hint of indifference, and on the other side stood a young girl in a goose egg-colored dress, her expression was slightly smart, and her eyes scanned the small populated city of Anseong, as if she was observing something.

These two people who followed Jiang Yuehan here were none other than Shi Lanbo and Nangong Yun, who did not return to Qi State. Schrambo didn't seem to care that much about saving the country. And Nangong Yun is because of what she has experienced since she was a child, she is reluctant to go back to Qi Kingdom, and she doesn't want revenge much now. She felt that it was a very happy thing to experience such an adventure with Shi Lanbo and Jiang Yuehan. Such a partner life made Nangong Yun gradually forget the suffering and tiredness she had suffered, and she gradually forgot her sadness and hardships along the way.

Jiang Yuehan is in a very happy mood now, and recently she has learned the secret of Ancheng, where the middle volume of the secret world book is. After experiencing the test of the previous volume, Jiang Yuehan also probably understood that she had to go through a crucial test and experience, and it was absolutely impossible for her to obtain the middle volume of the secret world book so easily. And once you get the middle volume of the Esoteric Classics, it means that you will soon be able to sublimate to the last volume of the Esoteric Classics, so that you can synthesize the entire content of the Esoteric Classics. When the time comes, cultivating the Instrument Soul will be an easy task, and it can even get twice the result with half the effort, and achieve success in the fastest moment.

For Jiang Yuehan, the most important thing for her now is to inquire about the descendant of this general who was once glorious but now only has a hypocritical shell left, and Jiang Yuehan has also seen this kind of descendant of a general like a down-and-out phoenix in that village last time, if she happens to meet a king who is like the current Holy Emperor and doesn't care about the secret classics at all. The descendants of these generals have no choice, their villages are not small, and there are still a lot of old generals living around them, but during these three hundred years, there is not a single descendant who has the talent and courage to enter the officialdom of the feudal state. This made Jiang Yuehan very curious, so since he had come to Ancheng now, Jiang Yuehan was not in a hurry to find the middle volume of the secret classics, he wanted to know about it, in addition to Qin Guan, the descendant of the original general, the descendants of another general living in Ancheng, are they still secretly working there like Qin Guan?

Shi Rambo was not very enthusiastic about this, and his focus was not on this Anseong, but on the crowd in Anseong, why is this Anseong so desolate? According to Shi Rambo's recent observations, this Anseong covers an area that is not small, just like the capital city of their Qi country, but the people of Ancheng are less than half of the Huicheng, and there are almost no people on the streets. Shi Lanbo was curious about this, what was the reason for this phenomenon, or was it because the emperor himself did not pay attention to Anseong?

With a hint of inquiry, Shi Rambo's attention was not on Shi Rambo walking in front of him, and he couldn't even hear the voice in his ears very much. Until Nangong Yun quietly stopped his steps, took advantage of Shi Lanbo's deep contemplation and stretched out his jade feet, almost throwing Shi Lanbo, who was almost like he was in a steady position, directly to the ground. In this way, Shi Lanbo finally reacted from his contemplation, he felt a little funny about the tenor's behavior, recently he and Nangong Yun, a woman who is as cold as the wind on the outside, but hot as fire in her heart, walked together in the territory of the closed country, Shi Lanbo even felt that his emotions were imperceptibly affected by Nangong Yun, and he became no longer so indifferent, perhaps because of the change in his mood, which made the current Shi Lanbo more calm and atmospheric.
