Soon, winter came, and the Yanbei area became cold.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the commendation order of the martial arts conference was passed into Lin Qi's hands, and as for the content of the commendation, it was extremely shabby.

Lin Qi didn't care much about things outside his body, such as money, so he didn't care much about it, relatively speaking, he seemed to cherish the experience of studying in the Sword Pavilion during this time.

Although the two rejected Zhang Xiao's offer to represent the Sword Pavilion, Zhang Xiao didn't seem to have any worries because of this, and still had to answer all questions, and did their best to help the two improve, and Lin Qi and Firefly did benefit a lot, especially the little girl Firefly, who had successfully advanced to the realm of the eighth grade during this time, as her age, it was indeed rare.

And Lin Qi, through continuous practice, has faintly broken through the eighth grade and promoted to the ninth grade, but it is a pity that the realm has arrived, but every time there is only one line, it is always impossible to cross the final threshold, speaking of which, it is really a pity.

However, Zhang Xiao also said that the promotion of the realm is a natural thing, and it cannot be forced, and when the time is ripe, there will naturally be no barriers.

Lin Qi also thought so, so during this time, he didn't ask too much, and he was still happy to live a comfortable life with the little girl.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the atmosphere in Dahua suddenly became tense, and the reason was precisely because of the problem on the northern border!

The north has always been a big trouble in the Central Plains, although the northern nomads have changed countless generations of people, but no matter who is the king, they always want to touch the Central Plains, in a vain attempt to dominate the world, therefore, thousands of years of wars have continued, and the grassland has always been the toughest opponent in the Central Plains!

Until Dahua unified the Central Plains, the martial Emperor Wu also focused on the development of Dahua's military strength, and on the issue of the grassland, the attitude of the Dahua royal family has been very tough, so in the Central Plains can not escape the cheap grassland, but also launched several big battles with Dahua, although Dahua paid a heavy price, but almost annihilated the invading grassland troops, it can be said that the national prestige!

Since then, the grassland people have gradually known the power of the Great Chinese people, and they did not dare to attack for a long time, and even for several years, they could not see the shadow of a grassland person outside the border line, which really scared the grassland people.

Later, the grassland people through a long period of recuperation, only gradually recovered their vitality, although once the Central Plains did not give up, but the grassland people have always dared to only dare to make a small fuss, but there is no intention of large-scale invasion at all, and during this time, they also suddenly found that the Central Plains people have become strong and strong, difficult to defeat!

Immediately, countless cities stood up on the border, and the Central Plains people had a resolute attitude and put on a full posture, which played a sufficient deterrent to the grassland people!

Since then, Dahua has consolidated his position as the overlord of the world, causing the surrounding alien races to take the initiative to make friends, and for a time the grassland people are isolated.

Although the Central Plains has become stronger, but because of the environment and terrain factors, the Central Plains troops are unable to enter the grassland to fight, therefore, with the geographical advantage, the grassland can always confront Dahua, however, in the attitude towards Dahua, the grassland people who have suffered several losses have finally learned to be flexible and began to take the initiative to establish exchanges with Dahua.

Unexpectedly, the originally very balanced situation was suddenly broken, and the steppe people actually gathered a large-scale army to press the border in the northwest of the border, although they did not cross the line, but this situation became very serious.

Dahua has sent personnel to negotiate for the first time, and at the same time, Dahua's troops have also begun to assemble at the border, for this reason, several princes and generals have gone to the border to preside over the overall situation, if this fights, I am afraid that it will be a large-scale battle to the death!

Although I don't know which tendon is wrong with the steppe people, we should still prepare for the worst.

Lin Qi once wanted to go to the border to help Dahua defend against foreign enemies, but in the end he was stopped by Chen Zizheng.

Chen Zizheng's reason is very simple, of course, it must be very reasonable, after all, a person is strong, and his strength is profound, but on the battlefield, in the sea of people, personal strength is hated to be limited to the minimum, when a person is always exhausted, even if he is a grandmaster, if he fights alone, he will be dragged to death by the sea of people in the end, so before getting the signs of the Dahua military, it is best not to participate in the war at will, otherwise it may add to the chaos.

In addition to the first time, there was another reason, which also made Lin Qi dispel his thoughts, just after Chen Zizheng finished speaking, Zhang Xiao privately looked for Lin Qi and told him not to go out recently, someone might come to see him.

Zhang Xiao was mysterious and couldn't say it clearly, and Lin Qi didn't ask much, because he believed that when the time came, even if he didn't ask, Zhang Xiao would tell him.

And this opportunity, but I didn't expect it to come very quickly.

On this day, the Sword Pavilion ushered in a person.

This person came in a hurry, with a few guards around him, and even deliberately concealed his identity, which was extremely mysterious, and it was only after Zhang Xiao took him to see Lin Qi that Lin Qi understood what this was for.

Lin Qi was actually taken aback, because this person was none other than the supreme emperor of Dahua, Emperor Yang!

Emperor Yang walked into the house, took off the coat and decoration that concealed his identity, and then sat down on the main seat in the house, and the four imperial guards behind him also dispersed, guarding the door and window, and Zhang Xiao, which stood on the left hand side in front of Emperor Yang.

Even if he sat on an ordinary chair, the power of Emperor Yang was not diminished at all, even if Lin Qi was armed with eight grades, he could still feel the powerful oppressive force in front of him!

Lin Qi came to Emperor Yang, knelt down on one knee and saluted, Emperor Yang nodded and asked him to get up.

"This time, I'm kind of out on patrol, it's unusual, so let's keep it simple! You see me like this, I just don't want others to know, so I hope you can keep your mouth shut and rot today's events in your stomach, and what I want to say to you later, the same is true, do you know?"

After listening to Emperor Yang's harsh words, Lin Qi still nodded, since Emperor Yang behaved like this, presumably today's matter must be extremely important.

"The steppe soldiers are pressing the realm, do you know about this matter?"

Hearing Emperor Yang's question, Lin Qi nodded.

"Back to Your Majesty, I know! The grassland people are so arrogant, and they don't take my Dahua boy in their eyes, they are indeed a little arrogant, and I am also very angry. If Your Majesty has a place to get me, Lin Qi will never give up, and he will never give up, and he is willing to exchange his blood for my Dahua border to return to peace!"

After listening to Lin Qi's bold words, Emperor Yang's face was already sinking like water, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

"What I did today, although it has something to do with it, it is not to put you on the battlefield, that is really a bit overkill, and my Dahua soldiers are strong and strong, and I am not inferior to the grassland people at all, where will I use you?"

The corners of Emperor Yang's mouth were slightly upturned, and his eyes were sharp, as if he really didn't put the grassland people in his eyes.

"However, I have one more thing I want to ask you, and I hope you will answer it truthfully!"

Lin Qi nodded, waiting for Emperor Yang to ask.

"I heard Zhang Xiao say that you met someone in the underground palace, and she told you that she would wait for you in the Qin Tomb, yes or no?"

Although he didn't know why Emperor Yang asked this, and he didn't know why Zhang Xiao told Emperor Yang about this, Lin Qi had no need to hide it at all.

"Yes!"

Hearing Lin Qi's affirmative answer, Emperor Yang's eyes were filled with a flash of light!
