Chapter 336: Gathering
"Wait slowly! Xiao Han should have just come out of the 'Cave Sky', and if he wants to get here from the City of Adventurers, unless he is through the portal portal, it will take several months to travel. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info天弁novel.23txt." The young man muttered again, and then stopped talking, and slowly tasted the delicacies of the mountains and seas on the table.
At the same time, outside the border fortress of the Canaan Empire, two middle-aged men were riding two third-order spirit beasts slowly walking towards the dilapidated fortress in front of them from a distance.
The two middle-aged men are both in their forties, one of them is bald, bare-chested, burly, and the muscles on his body are high and protruding, fast and distinct, giving people a strong visual impact.
The other middle-aged man looked relatively weak, wearing a pale white robe, with a long black hair draped casually over his shoulders, although he had a bit of a bookish atmosphere, but a pair of eyes were not flashing with sharp essence.
"Xu Maogong, you see there is a fortress ahead, it should be the Canaan Empire!" said the burly man, pointing to the dilapidated fortress in front of him.
Hearing this, Xu Maogong took out a map from his storage belt and looked at it, nodded slowly, and said: "Yes, according to the map, it is indeed the Canaan Empire ahead, looking at the tattered appearance of the fortress, it must have just experienced a major war! There was a faint smell of blood in the air." ”
The big man let out a long breath and sighed: "It took half a year to travel, and finally came to the Canaan Empire, don't worry about so much, let's go into the city to rest quickly! I haven't eaten big fish and meat for a long time, and after eating and drinking, let's go to Wolong City slowly!"
......
Outside Wolong City, five people wearing luxurious robes and people of different ages are walking on the official road at the pace of ordinary people, they seem to be ordinary, but each of them exudes an inexplicable aura, which invisibly affects the adventurers and caravans passing by, and all the people who pass by the five of them subconsciously avoid it far away, and they dare not approach at all. Ten kilometers ahead, the tall walls of Wolong City were already clearly visible.
Luo Tian held a wine jug in his hand and drank as he walked, poured a large sip of liquor into his mouth, then turned his head to look at the old man beside him, and said, "Chennan, Wolong City is a first-class cultivation city, and the area is not small, how should we go to find the national protector after we get there?"
Chen Nan shook his head and said, "The Lord Protector didn't explain, he will talk about it when he gets there!"
"By the way, is the Protector of the Nation really from the Canaan Empire? Why don't those powerhouses of the Canaan Empire know the name of the Protector of the Nation, this is too incredible!" Yuan Tiangang said with a puzzled expression, with a little doubt between his eyebrows.
"I also think it's strange, with the talent and strength of the protector of the country, everyone in the Canaan Empire should know about it, and everyone knows it! It was Liu Bowen who spoke.
Chen Nan looked at a few people with some dissatisfaction, frowned slightly, and said: "Okay, this is on the official road, let's not discuss it, I believe this problem will be solved soon." ”
At this moment, the ground began to tremble slightly, and soon after, a dense hoof sound came from the rear, only to see a large group of cavalry wearing black armor all riding spirit beast mounts galloping from the rear, splashing smoke and dust all the way, like a rolling yellow dragon stretching for several kilometers. Several large banners were planted in the midst of this cavalry, and all the adventurers and merchants in the road changed color in unison.
"That's the royal family's guards, quick, get out of the way. The adventurers and caravans walking on the official road were shocked, and hurriedly controlled the carriage to retreat to the side, giving way to the wide road in the middle for the Royal Forest Army to pass, and then looked at the Royal Forest Army galloping past with surprised faces, and their hearts were full of doubts.
"The Imperial Forest Army is the strongest army to protect the royal family, and it usually doesn't go out at all, what is going on today! The Royal Forest Army is all dispatched, and it is in such a hurry, is there something big happening?" Many adventurers and caravans began to secretly guess in their hearts.
At this time, the five Great Qin Empire National Teachers who were walking in front also stopped, and looked back at the Imperial Forest Army that was rushing towards them one by one.
"Hey, isn't that the emperor of the Canaan Empire, why did he come here, did he come to us?" Luo Tian said with some surprise.
The Imperial Forest Army's march was very fast, and it didn't take long to approach the five national teachers, and at this time, the Emperor of the Canaan Empire, who was also riding a spirit beast mount and was surrounded by several Imperial Forest Army masters, suddenly appeared on the side of the road with five Great Qin Empire national teachers, his expression was suddenly startled, and he immediately shouted: "Stop!"
Soon, the high-running Imperial Forest Army stopped in place, and the emperor of the Canaan Empire immediately turned over and got off the spirit beast mount, walked quickly in front of the five national teachers of the Great Qin Empire, showed a warm smile on his face, and arched his hand: "I didn't expect to meet five national teachers here, what a coincidence." ”
And several masters of the Imperial Forest Army who followed behind the emperor also recognized the five national teachers and bowed one after another.
"Your Majesty, looking at your hurried appearance, I don't know what's going on?" asked Liu Bowen with a curious expression.
The emperor smiled and said: "The five national teachers may not believe it, but our Canaan Empire has an unprecedented genius, who has reached the strength of Xuanzong at a young age, and the three strong men of Xuanzong who fought alone with the strength of one person not only did not hurt themselves, but also severely damaged the opponent, which made me feel unbelievable!"
Hearing this, the hearts of the five national teachers of the Great Qin Empire moved, they looked at each other, their faces suddenly became a little strange, and Chen Nan immediately asked, "Emperor, I don't know who this person is?"
"He is Xiao Han, the son of the Xiao family. The emperor did not hide it, and said with a smile. He also has his own opinion in his heart, with Xiao Han's talent, the Great Qin Empire will definitely make great efforts to win over, and Xiao Han has a marriage contract with his daughter, and he is not an outsider, once Xiao Han has a relationship with the Great Qin Empire, the Canaan Empire can also benefit a lot, and even let the Canaan Empire climb the big tree of the Great Qin Empire through Xiao Han's relationship.
"Xiao Han, the Han son of the Xiao family!"
The five national teachers of the Great Qin Empire all secretly wrote down this name in their hearts. Immediately, the five national teachers offered to go to the Xiao family with the emperor. And for this request, the emperor couldn't ask for it, and agreed very happily, but he was secretly happy in his heart, and the development of things really went according to his expectations.
Subsequently, the emperor of the Canaan Empire and the five national teachers entered Wolong City together, walked through the streets of Wolong City for a while, and soon stopped outside the gate of the Xiao family, and the surrounding Imperial Forest Army immediately scattered around to ensure the emperor's safety.
Although there were five Great Qin Empire teachers present, and almost no one could hurt the emperor of the Canaan Empire, these Imperial Forest Soldiers still performed their jobs.
Wu Santong, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army standing beside the emperor, looked at the magnificent gate of the Xiao family with a somewhat complicated expression, and his heart was full of flavors, and he didn't know what it was like, because he had already learned a lot of things from the emperor's mouth.
The Xiao family had already learned the news of the emperor's arrival, so the gate was a big open, and all the high-level officials of the Xiao family gathered at the door to greet them, while Xiao Zhan and Hong Bo stood at the front, the second row was some old people in the mansion, and the third row was Xiao Han and a few aunts.
"Welcome to my Xiao family, Your Majesty's arrival really makes my Xiao family shine!" Xiao Zhan, the patriarch of the Xiao family, immediately greeted him and said with a smile on his face, and Hong Bo also followed Xiao Zhan away.
The emperor took the gift from the hand of a guard of the Imperial Forest Army beside him, personally handed it to Xiao Zhan, and said with a smile: "I haven't been here in this Wolong City for many years, and it's rare to be free today, so I came to take a look, I hope it won't disturb you." ”
Xiao Zhan smiled, exchanged a few words of greeting with the emperor, and suddenly saw the five national teachers of the Great Qin Empire in the rear, his face immediately changed, and he immediately became solemn, and hurriedly arched his hand: "I didn't expect a few national teachers to be there, our Xiao family is really sluggish, please, please, please." Facing the five national teachers of the Great Qin Empire, the expression on Xiao Zhan's face became much more solemn, and he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.
Hong Bo also greeted the five national teachers of the Great Qin Empire, said a few polite words, and then warmly invited a few people to enter the Xiao family, if the five national teachers of the Great Qin Empire were guests at the Xiao family, it would be a great honor for the Xiao family.
And those guards of the Xiao family and some old people are now even the national teachers of the Great Qin Empire, and their expressions also show very excited looks, and they all look excited.
Regarding the enthusiasm of Xiao Zhan and Hong Bo, the five national teachers of the Great Qin Empire did not put on the slightest show, they all returned the salute with a smile on their faces, very polite, much more cordial than the attitude towards everyone in the palace.
Subsequently, the emperor was accompanied by several guards in black armor, and the five national teachers of the Great Qin Empire stepped into the gate of the Xiao family at the same time, at this time, the emperor suddenly spoke: "Xiao Zhan, I heard that Xiao Han is back, I don't know where the others are, can I see it, speaking of which, for this future son-in-law, I have never seen it once! ”
Xiao Zhan showed a smile on his face, but his heart was bright, his eyes looked at Xiao Han, who was blocked by more than a dozen old people, and said with a smile: "Han'er, don't come out to meet the emperor soon." ”
"Perhaps, it should be more appropriate to call the father-in-law!" said Humber suddenly, with a smile on his face.
Hearing this, the emperor was slightly stunned, and immediately laughed, and Xiao Zhan also laughed a few times with him, looking very happy.
More than a dozen old men got out of the way, only to see Xiao Han, who was wearing a white robe, handsome and chic, and the jade tree was in the wind, strode out of it, came to the emperor of the Canaan Empire and arched his hand, smiling, and said without humility or arrogance: "Xiao Han has seen the emperor!"
The emperor looked at Xiao Han seriously, and saw that Xiao Han had a short position, and his appearance was very handsome, and the delicate facial features were so perfect that people couldn't find fault with them, plus the white and tender skin that made women jealous, all kinds of combinations were simply all the girl killers in the world, and under the handsome outside, he also had this bit of a resolute temperament, as if witnessing Xiao Han's growth and maturity, not a cynical child.
"Good!good!good!" Looking at the future son-in-law in front of him, the emperor became more and more satisfied, and said three good words in a row. As an emperor, he has read countless people in his life, and he naturally saw Xiao Han's extraordinary, it is better to be famous than to meet, and the moment he saw Xiao Han in person, his evaluation of Xiao Han in his heart has improved a lot.
"This is really a dragon among men!" the emperor sighed all his life. And Xiao Zhan just looked at his son with a smile on the side, not to mention how proud he was.
The five national teachers of the Great Qin Empire also saw Xiao Han, and several of them looked shocked, glanced at each other, and then stepped forward in unison, bowed their hands to Xiao Han, and said in unison: "I have seen the national teacher who protects the country!"
The five of them said "Lord Protector of the Country", which made the expressions on the faces of the Emperor of the Canaan Empire and Xiao Zhan instantly froze, and they looked at the five Great Qin Empire teachers who were saluting Xiao Han in a daze, and their expressions fell into a stupor, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.
A group of old men and many guards of the Xiao family, as well as several masters of the Imperial Forest Army who followed the Emperor of the Canaan Empire, all showed the same expressions, looking blankly at the five national teachers who were saluting Xiao Han, their faces full of disbelief.
"Protector of the country, how could the five noble national teachers of the Great Qin Empire be called Xiao Han Protector of the country. The third aunt Zhang Chunhua looked at the scene in front of her with a shocked face, and her heart was turbulent, and she was very uneasy.
Xiao Han looked at the five Chennan with a wry smile on his face, and said, "I didn't expect you to find it so quickly." ”
Yuan Tiangang glanced around, and said with a smile: "Master Protector of the Country, I didn't trouble you!"
Xiao Han sighed lightly, and just as he was about to start speaking, Xiao Zhan's voice came: "Han'er, what is going on?" Xiao Zhan's tone was a little trembling, and the excitement mixed in his tone was difficult to hide.
The five national teachers of the Great Qin Empire actually called their sons the protectors of the country, so in this way, the protectors of the Great Qin Empire who did not hesitate to travel thousands of miles to assist the Canaan Empire in resisting the alliance of the four countries were his fourth sons, Xiao Han?
At this time, the emperor and Hong Bo also came back to their senses, and both of them looked at Xiao Han with shocked faces, waiting for Xiao Han's reply.
Xiao Han groaned slightly for a while, and said, "Father, let's go to the main hall and talk!"
Xiao Zhan suddenly came to his senses, forcibly suppressed the urgency in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, go to the main hall and say, Your Majesty, five national teachers, please come inside." ”
