The "immortals" who crossed the sea were taken to the palace of Wubao County, and the "Xuanwu" were placed at the entrance of the imperial city, where they were guarded by the Praetorian Guards to prevent the people from approaching.

Entering the palace, Ma Jian invited the "immortal" to take a seat, and the civil and military ministers were also quite respectful to him, after all, he saw this person crossing the sea on the divine beast Xuanwu.

After taking his seat, Ma Jian asked, "I don't know where the immortals come from, how to call them?"

"I practiced on the extraterritorial spiritual island under the territory, and I have been with Xuanwu since I was a child. The man replied, "The surname is Xin, and the name is Tieshan." ”

"Xin Tieshan?" the crowd muttered silently a few times, remembering the name.

Feng Qiao next to him thought for a while, and asked curiously: "Where is the Extraterritorial Spirit Island located, I have never heard of it. ”

Xin Tieshan turned his head to look at Feng Qiao and smiled: "The Extraterritorial Spirit Island is a place for cultivating immortals, located at the top of the deep sea, and it is difficult for mortals to approach!"

"Oh~ Since it is difficult for mortals to approach, how did Your Excellency know that Liang Guo recruited strange people and strange people, and Xu Yi was a national teacher?" Feng Qiao's questions were very tricky, obviously he also had some doubts about the identity of this "immortal".

Xin Tieshan was still smiling: "Who is this ......?"

"He is my military advisor, and he is also my most trusted person!" Ma Jian said busily, "The military advisor likes to get to the bottom of things, and I hope the immortals don't care." ”

"Oh~" Xin Tieshan nodded, stroked his beard and smiled, "It's okay! Although I rarely leave the extraterritorial spirit island, there are often cultivators around me who have entered the world and practiced, and I have heard a little about the things in the world. Previously, someone returned from Liang Guo and brought back news. It is said that there was a transgressive cultivator in Jinzhou, and with his own cultivation, he actually endangered the world with spells. What is his name Ning ..... Ning?"

"Ning Ze!" Ma Jian's eyes lit up, and he immediately replied, "This person has won a hundred battles since his debut, I thought that his resourcefulness and martial arts were outstanding, but later I found out that he was proficient in spells, and recently I found out that this person actually subdued Shui Bo and two other monsters, which is a great disaster in the world! Not only Liang Guo, but I, Nancheng, are also recruiting capable people to deal with this person!"

"Ning Ze?um~ It seems to be this name. Xin Tieshan stroked his beard and said, "People like us who cultivate the Tao should not easily intervene in mundane disputes, let alone be contaminated with power. He was reluctant to go out of the mountains and join the WTO, but he couldn't see such people who deceived people according to the law! So he crossed the sea with Xuanwu and wanted to go to the Liang country. It's not that he covets the position of the national teacher, he just wants to expose this person's face in front of the world and get rid of this evil for the world!"

Ma Jian was overjoyed: "Do immortals have a chance of winning?"

"Your Majesty is underestimating?" Xin Tieshan said, "I have been cultivating freely in the lower realm, and I have been cultivating freely for more than 500 years and have gone through several dynasties. Just one Ning Ze, isn't it easy to capture? He has Shui Bo and other monsters, and he is not worth mentioning in front of Xuanwu!"

"Your Excellency has supernatural powers, why don't you demonstrate it, and let me and other mortals open their eyes!" Feng Qiao said.

Xin Tieshan closed his eyes and stroked his beard, and shook his head slightly: "Cultivators have no intention of showing off, the spell they are practicing is not a trick! If you see Ning Ze, you will naturally cast a spell and take it down." If you want to see a trick, you can go to the street and find someone!"

"It's not a trick to see next, it's a real spell!" Feng Qiao said, "Even if it's an immortal, just show a small spell and you can confirm it." ”

When Xin Tieshan heard this, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he got up and said to Ma Jian: "I am invited by Your Majesty to enter the city to talk." Now that you are suspicious, it is better to leave!"

When Ma Jian heard this, he was immediately anxious, and hurriedly got up and grabbed Xin Tieshan: "Immortals don't have to be angry, the military advisor has no malicious intentions! Immortals came across the sea by Xuanwu, and they are true immortals, so why do you need to verify it?"

As he spoke, he turned his head and rushed to Feng Qiao: "The military advisor is suspicious, that Xuanwu is not fake!"

Feng Qiao thought about it, turned his head and saw that all the civil and military officials were looking at him with the same gaze, obviously believing that Xin Tieshan was an immortal.

In fact, Feng Qiao himself was also very confused, and when he saw "Xuanwu" with his own eyes, he already believed it a little, but he only asked a few words out of feeling that something was wrong. Faced with such a situation, I couldn't help but give up my hand and say: "I am suspicious, please understand!"

"Immortals," Ma Jian pulled Xin Tieshan tightly, "The military advisor has no intention, why bother? I immediately announced to the whole country that the immortals are the national teachers, the official residence is a product, and the prime minister is the same, and the national teacher's mansion is set up in the city, giving ten thousand gold, rewarding thousands of acres of fertile land, and thousands of servants!"

Xin Tieshan replied with a smile: "The cultivators are not stained with power, do not occupy gold and silver, and are willing to stay here, just to take Ning Ze one day and cut off those who cross the border." ”

"The position of the national teacher ......" Ma Jian asked with some worry when he heard him say this.

Xin Tieshan closed his eyes and stroked his beard: "Before taking Ning Ze, I will reluctantly accept it, and once I succeed, I can leave." ”

"In that case, when will Your Excellency make a move?" Feng Qiao asked.

Xin Tieshan slowly opened his eyes, looked at him and said, "I also want to go to Jinzhou immediately and take Ning Ze." It's just that when I crossed the sea, the Xuanwu camel encountered the green dragon blocking the way, and the battle lasted more than a thousand rounds, and my vitality was greatly damaged. Although he barely drove away the green dragon with the help of the spell under the spell, he couldn't urge the spell in a short period of time and had to recuperate. During the Xuanwu retreat, instead of taking the initiative, it was better to wait until Ning Ze came to the door. At that time, no matter whether Xuanwu recovers his vitality or not, he will be held in the next place, and Your Majesty can rest assured!"

"Xuanwu hurt his vitality? Forgive my clumsy eyes, I didn't see the clues. Feng Qiao said suspiciously.

Xin Tieshan responded indifferently: "Ordinary people are naturally powerless to detect it, in short, Ning Ze dares to come, and he can take it down next!"

"Great!" Ma Jian completely trusted him, after all, "Xuanwu" could not be faked, so he said, "I will immediately draft the edict, from today onwards, Your Excellency will be my great national teacher, and the world should respect him!

"Your Majesty Xie!" Xin Tieshan smiled and nodded.

Xuanwu appeared in Nancheng, and Xin Tieshan, who appeared at the same time as Xuanwu, was named the national teacher, and the news quickly spread to all major forces.

Ning Ze was a little surprised, and said in his heart that there are really immortals in this world?

In order to find out the situation, the telegram contacted the secret intelligence personnel in Nancheng to find out whether this "national teacher" Xin Tieshan was real and whether Xuanwu was real!

Not only Huaguo, but also Tang Niu's Zhou, Lu Jing, and Lu Wei's Liang all sent people to inquire and wanted to find out about this matter.

Especially on Lu Jing's side, the queen was quite angry.

After all, Xin Tieshan was on his way to Liang Kingdom, and was cut off by Ma Jian halfway, no matter whether this person is true or not, Ma Jian's behavior is very inauthentic.

If it is really intercepted by the other party, an immortal, even including the divine beast Xuanwu, this is quite unacceptable.

If Sima Fa hadn't persuaded her, it would have been possible to send troops directly to settle accounts with Ma Jian.

Sima Fa persuaded the queen and asked her to secretly send someone to investigate the matter, so as not to startle the snake. At the same time, she was told to hold back, send an envoy to Nancheng to carry out the task she had decided before, unite Nancheng and Zhou to find the "monsters" in various countries, and attract Ning Ze.

Hesitating about the occurrence of this incident, Sima Fa had another plan, if it was confirmed that Xin Tieshan and Xuanwu were true, he would design to deceive Ning Ze to Nancheng, and Xin Tieshan would clean him up!

No matter what, Ning Ze is their biggest stumbling block and the most difficult enemy to deal with, and it must be solved first.

Tang Niu and Ma Jian both received Lu Jing's proposal and gladly accepted it.

As for Lu Wei's forces, they have not received any news in this regard. On the other hand, Sima Fa considered that among the officials who defected to Mrs. Tian, there might be people who were bought by Ning Ze's subordinates, even if it was a conspiracy, some key information could not be revealed, and in order to compete for the entire Liang State, Mrs. Tian did everything.

All forces have their own actions, and they have different thoughts from each other.

They also need to recuperate and survive another year of winter.

Apart from the occasional skirmish on the border between the parties, there are basically no major problems.

Xin Tieshan stayed in Nancheng as a national teacher, and Ma Jian hoped to keep him, after all, this person said that he would leave if he took Ning Ze. So he tried his best to spend a lot of money to build a luxurious national teacher's mansion, and also gave the same treatment as the prime minister as promised, under one person and above ten thousand. Gold, fertile land, and servants were also given enough, and they even pulled the national teacher everywhere, and even slept together to show their sincerity.

The civil and military officials of Nancheng also spoke to Xin Tieshan and had great respect for him.

Only a few people such as Feng Qiao and Ye Zhao remained normal, occasionally going to see "Xuanwu" and privately discussing whether this national teacher was really that powerful.

After Nancheng left Xin Tieshan, the morale and public opinion of the domestic army rose a lot.

Originally, the domestic military and civilians were particularly worried about the existence of Ning Ze and the strength of Huaguo, but now there is finally a national teacher who can compete with it and even defeat the other party, what else is there to worry about?

After all, this national teacher has Xuanwu, one of the four divine beasts, and many people have seen it with their own eyes.

A low-level god like Shui Bo is nothing in front of Xuanwu at all. I'm afraid that if Xuanwu roars, Shui Bo will fall to his knees.

It is said that there are more than 500 years of cultivation that can control Xuanwu, and in any respect, he is better than Ning Ze.

The military and civilians in China all want to see Xuanwu with their own eyes and see their national teachers.

It's just that Ma Jian has done all the means of defense to prevent the people from approaching Xin Tieshan and "Xuanwu", not only blocking the meticulous work sent by various forces, including his own army and people, it is difficult to approach, and only the highest-level officials and generals have the opportunity to see it.

Nancheng soldiers and civilians are easy to talk to, but if they can't see it, they just regret going back, what should they do!

The meticulous work from different forces is doing their best to find out the news, trying to search for information about Xin Tieshan and Xuanwu to confirm the truth and falsehood.

Relatively speaking, the underground intelligence personnel hidden in Nancheng in Huaguo are more mature, although the chance of close observation is equal to zero, but to find out the range of activities of Xin Tieshan, Xuanwu's resting place is quite simple. After that, based on this information, I monitored the records from a hidden place through a telescope, and there was some gain.

After a period of secret surveillance, at least one conclusion was drawn, not to mention whether Xin Tieshan and Xuanwu were true or false, at least they did not have the ability to find themselves being monitored. At the same time, Xin Tieshan ostensibly refused the power, status and money given by Ma Jian, but in fact enjoyed it. And Xuanwu is also a little different from the mythological record, whether the mythological story is wrong, or this "Xuanwu" has a problem, it remains to be observed......
