The Desolate Clan itself has been trying to migrate eastward, and in the process of contact with the Terrans, war has somehow become the mainstream, and the Fengyan Continent, which happens to be located at the throat of the convergence of multiple forces, has become the main battlefield.

This battlefield has not been quiet with the end of the bloody battle in Middle-earth, the sound of golden drums and soldiers, the explosion of spells, the roar of soldiers when they attack, the shouts of death when they are frequent, these scenes have not really stopped for a moment, such scenes have lasted for too long, people do not see peace and prosperity after the great war like Middle-earth, only endless conquests, those who can escape have already fled, and those who cannot escape can only survive.

Even so, there was still a steady stream of displaced people from all over the world east of the Taihua Mountains and south of the Arm Ridge to make a living and be distributed, coaxed and forcibly relocated, the most tragic of which was the efforts of the distribution, serving the armored people stationed in Fengyanzhou and the Great Wall defense line, they cultivated, grazing, gathering, built fortifications and houses, sturdy mining and metallurgy, and excavated a steady stream of high-quality pig iron and tin gold from the mines under the supervision of the soldiers, and made standard equipment by skilled craftsmen in Middle-earth and distributed to the garrisons in various places.

After the Great Array of Soul Gathering was built and the people stationed there, the forces of all parties began to divide the Fengyan Continent, and the front line of the Great Wall as the front line of the defense of the Jiuqu Plain and the Desolate Clan must have an army stationed to ensure the stability of the entire Fengyan Continent.

So after consultation, the first line of the Great Wall was divided into four sections according to the topography, which were garrisoned by the four forces of the human race, and four states were set up, from north to south: Qizhou Mansion, garrisoned by the coalition forces of Yudanzhou, belonging to Yunzhong County, one of the spheres of influence of Yudanzhou in Fengyanzhou, unified and coordinated the deployment of many industries and troops here;

Yanzhou Mansion is garrisoned by the local powerful coalition army of Fengyanzhou and belongs to Yanmen County;

Jianzhou Mansion was garrisoned by the Great Qin Empire, one of the five major empires south of the Beihuan Mountains and Linhai, and the state capital was subordinate to Jianmen County;

The capital of Beihuan Prefecture, another of the five empires, is garrisoned by the Great Zhou, which is subordinate to Yishui County.

In the lobby of the Beihuan Prefecture, one person sits in the hall case, is holding a pen to approve the documents, the desk is placed with a cinnamon five-peak-shaped pen holder, a white porcelain blue glaze pen wash, a dragon inkstone, a sword-shaped paperweight, there is a half-hand-sized copper tiger button seal and wooden box in the upper left corner, and then there is a stack of official documents in front of you, simple and clear, quite in line with the general's style.

The figure of the person sitting upright is straight, and he looks solemn and solemn against the backdrop of the unicorn stepping mountain screen, as if he encountered an indecisive document, stopped his pen and frowned and thought, only then did he see that this person should be less than forty years old, with broad sword eyebrows, high nose and wide forehead, calm eyes but as if gathering knife light, wide lips and moderate width, not mean and silly, the chin is slightly stubble, I think I can't take care of it, the overall facial features are really harmonious, and it is comfortable to see, I don't know how many women and girls can be hooked at this age.

There is a person sitting in the hall, a scribe is leisurely shaking the teacup, gently blowing open the floating powder in the cup, the hand holding the cup is as white as jade, giving people a warm and tidy feeling of vitality, if you add luster I am afraid that people will be regarded as the hand of the green beauty, carefully look at the same age as the person in the hall, I have to say that another woman nemesis.

After the scribe raised his eyes and saw the hall case, the man locked his eyebrows and pondered, took a sip, tasted the fragrance of tea, and said: "Dongou Yunmeng produced the Ming Qian Cloud Tea Qinghuo Mingshen, do you want to taste it? This is what I exchanged for five Yunyang famous knives and Daqin merchants, and the Heavenly Fire Sect Master of Jiuqu will not be able to enjoy it this year, hey, do you think he will bring his disciples and grandchildren to rob it? We can't seem to stop it."

The people in the hall raised their eyes and glanced at the scholar, and said a little helplessly, "Why don't you say that you used the Yunyang knife holder to exchange it with those merchants' necks?"

The scholar smiled happily, "But a lieutenant of the Jianzhou Mansion came to me with Lu Dian's letter...",

As he spoke, a big man walked into the lobby, and then a gust of wind blew through the sleeves of the big man's coat.

The big man who entered the lobby didn't have time to catch his breath, snatched the teacup from the scholar's hand, raised his head and drank it all, chewed the tea leaves, stuffed the cup into the scholar's arms and walked to the hall, then the scholar reacted, and suddenly became angry, and an illusory milky white dragon appeared around his body, and roared at the big man with his teeth and claws, so it seems that this scholar is at least the peak of the cultivation of refining qi and transforming gods.

The big man turned his head and grinned, "Turn around and help you relax your muscles and bones",

The person sitting in the hall rubbed his eyebrows and shouted, "I was beaten last time, right, then I will accompany you with the money for the house that you demolished."

The scholar died down, "My little money is not enough to buy books, so I will borrow some from you this month", and then sat back in his chair.

Dahan smiled flatteringly at the people in the hall and said, "Don't bully Lao Cao, the young master has already spent all his money, and he has been cooking with his brothers in the wall recently."

The man in the hall rubbed his stubble and muttered, "It's time to go out and earn some change."

Gao Hanwen and Cao Kun, who are scholars, are both retainers of the people in the hall, who grew up together since childhood, practiced, traveled, fought battles, shared weal and woe, life and death, and the name of the person in the hall was Zheng Kaiyuan.

Zheng is the surname of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the current Great Zhou Tianzi Zheng Tonghuang is a cousin with this person, and Zheng Kaiyuan's biological father An Guocheng is the uncle of Zheng Tonghuang, the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The Zheng family is inherited from the ancient Ji surname, the Ji surname is one of the eight ancestors of the ancient people, and the Ji surname was later sealed in the ancient Jizhou Zheng, which gradually multiplied to form the Zheng family, and has been producing strong people in succession.

In the war a thousand years ago, the Zheng clan withstood a hundred-year-long melee under the leadership of the old patriarch Zheng Dang and the new patriarch Zheng Zhu, and then the Zheng clan patriarch was handed over to Zheng Zhu's cousin Zheng Ke to take over, and the new patriarch relied on the Legalists to start a drastic reform, and it was also during this period that the Zheng clan completed the transformation from a tribe to a country.

After nearly 200 years, Zheng Kechuan is located in Zheng Ding, Zheng Ding Chuan is located in Zheng Mourning, Zheng Mourning is located in Zheng Qian, the third son of Zheng Qianfen who can fight well, Zheng Qianfen VI Yu Lie gathered dozens of alliance tribes only after 20 years of conquest, it completely laid the territory of the Great Zhou at that time, known as Emperor Wu of Zhou, the founding name of the Great Zhou, the capital of Luoyang, the north of the Great Zhou is connected to the Yudanzhou Group, the east of the East China Sea, the south of the East Ou Donghezhou and other places, the west of Jinchanzhou and Qin, a radius of 40,000 miles is rich and occupies the geographical advantage.

That's all for gossiping, back to the lobby.

It turned out that Zheng Kaiyuan was idle and did not want to forge ahead, young and vigorous, and he was arrogant and arrogant, and he did not know how to rush into the emperor, and was assigned by An Guogong to serve here as the assassin of Beihuan Prefecture, and the commander-in-chief of the military and political affairs of Beihuan Prefecture, in the hope that he could make meritorious contributions, and it has been more than ten years.

Just now I heard Lord Thorn Shi say that he would go out and earn some change, Cao Kun's eyes lit up, the so-called earning change was actually to lead the elite team into the Western Wilderness to hunt wild beasts and pick rare and beneficial grass.

You must know that the first step in worldly cultivation is basically "moving to cultivate essence".

The amount of essence is different according to the innate physique and acquired development of each of us, of course, the more essence the better, but there must be a container to hold it. The human body is like a container, pregnancy October is a process of creating a container from another perspective, the better the parents' physique will be passed on to the child, the better the family conditions allow, the mother will supplement some rare and refined medicines according to a certain formula dosage during pregnancy, which will also play a certain role in the growth and development of the fetus. The Terrans have been studying this method for thousands of years, and the formula and dosage of the method have basically matured.

After the child is born, the essence is refined into the true element during the cultivation process, which is called "refining and refining qi", and at the same time, the food and medicinal materials that have been supplemented are transformed into essence through activities.

The most mature and effective exercises in the world cannot guarantee that the refining process will not be lost, there will always be more or less consumption and waste, and sometimes cultivating too fast will also cause a shortage of essence, at this time, you need to stop to consolidate the essence and cultivate the yuan, if there is a suitable heaven and earth treasure tonic there is no need to stop and delay time, you can practice qi while replenishing the essence.

There are a lot of natural materials and earth treasures used in the great wilderness, and there are herbs on the wild beasts, and their value is self-evident, so hunting wild beasts and picking rare and exotic grasses earns a lot of money, and there are too many people on the border to make a living from this, but high returns are also accompanied by high risks, and hunters and medicine pickers rarely have good deaths, which is also caused by people's greed, and it is easy to enter the industry and difficult to stop.

The border army initially organized small-scale hunting in order to improve the actual combat ability of the soldiers and cultivated the regular meeting, and later found that there were still huge profits to be made, so they did not know how to converge until they were broken through the Great Wall defense line several times by the alien race in the Western Wilderness to stop the atmosphere, plus their own patrol envoys sat in the town to rectify, but it is still difficult to completely ban it, after all, in the Great Wall garrison in different places, large and small wars occur from time to time, and the soldiers' salaries are limited, so each province will organize elite squads to enter the Western Wilderness from time to time, called exploring the enemy's situation and selecting soldiers to supplement military salaries.

Cao Kun often led the team, firstly, his cultivation was superb and he had rich experience in actual combat, and secondly, he had just arrived at the post with the assassin Shi and was familiar with the form of the defense area, and the first dozen or so people wandered around the edge of the Western Wilderness for two or three years, and they had a deep understanding of the border. In those years, the county guard was in a hurry, but it was not good to say anything, after all, he was a protégé of An Guogong, and he was taken care of in his early years.

The former assassin returned to Beijing to report on his work three months after the handover of the previous assassin according to the custom, and he forcibly let the county guard concurrently serve as the assassin for two years, but after that, Zheng Kaiyuan did not let the county guard bother, and made the city defense look good, and there were few foreign cross-border incidents, and it was not a star and a half compared with the previous assassins.

After Zheng Kaiyuan was agreed, Cao Kunxing rushed to leave to pick people and horses, Gao Hanwen looked unhappy, Zheng Kaiyuan got up and walked outside the hall, looking at the vast and remote Western Wilderness by the railing and was silent, Gao Hanwen also came over, and the two stood side by side.

The Thorn Mansion was built on the halfway of the mound, the mound, one of the thirteen lonely mountains on the west line of Fengyanzhou, no more than two or three hundred thousand, the name is not very auspicious, I don't know which one lacks virtue to take such a name, plus the terrain is gentle and not tall, the distance does look like a barren mound lonely tomb, and the other guards came to the Thorn Shifu to report and handle affairs, jokingly called the tomb, everyone said privately, thanks to the wisdom of the Thorn Shi Lord and the martial arts to deter the Yin Qi of the Sealed Tomb, only then can we be stable over the years, the Yin Qi of the Sealed Tomb is the ventilation place of the Shura Field behind him, if there is no eight ventilation formations in the basin, the people in the basin have long been driven crazy by the Yin Qi and the murderous Qi and other unclean gas, the old pawn is always such a dignified face to educate the new pawn who has been transferred from Middle-earth.

After a while, I saw Cao Kun leading more than 30 horses to gallop westward, and the combination of old and new not only ensured that he could deal with most sudden dangers, but also cultivated young people with potential and reliability.

Gao Hanwen looked up at the banner that began to roll up, and reminded Lord Thorn Shi that the wind was rising, Zheng Kaiyuan whispered to himself, "The wind is rising, the head is wild, the Shura field, the soul is difficult to return to his hometown", Gao Hanwen said "Return to the hometown, the desolate wind is not sent, the boat and the river are not loaded, the road is blocked and long, call me robe, pick up the sword again, incarnate Shura, wife and children are forgotten",

"Could it be that as the rumors say, there are some people who don't want the peace of Fengyan Continent, or even the peace of Middle-earth?", Gao Hanwen seemed to look at Zheng Kaiyuan with some pain, and asked this man who made himself swear to follow him to the death.

Zheng Kaiyuan was silent, raising his hand to grab something, as if it was a wisp of remnant soul lost in this Shura field, he withdrew his hand, turned his head to look at Gao Hanwen and smiled, "Yan'er will be sixteen years old in a few months, and you can enter Taixue to practice, you are ready to prepare, take the gift I prepared a few days ago and go back to the capital to congratulate him for me",

Speaking of the "Yan'er" in Zheng Kaiyuan's mouth, Gao Hanwen's expression also eased, "I have always remembered it, but what should I do when I see him shouting to come to the West Wilderness to find you?"

Zheng Kaiyuan said softly, "He is the prince, I can't help him."
