The first time he entered the Grand Duke's Mansion, Du Qian felt fresh when he saw everything, people came and went, and the rivers were endless, as if he had let the dog chase him, trotting all the way, and he was so busy that he was sweating profusely. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Outside the Wengong Hall, there is a row of chairs on the left and right, which is almost full of people, most of them are soldiers in military uniforms, Du Qian, as a descendant of soldiers, naturally recognizes the badges on the shoulders of these people.

Interesting, really interesting, here, almost all the military ranks of the empire, can be seen. The one sitting on the left hand side is actually a corps commander, such a big man, he also needs to wait in line?

You must know that in peacetime, the total military strength of the empire is only more than 4 million, scattered into corps, and there are only ten corps in total, and each corps has a full quota of 300,000 people.

In other words, the commander-in-chief of the corps in front of him is the ten most powerful imperial soldiers under the Three Princes.

A corps commander-in-chief, four army commanders, eight division commanders, and a brigade commander?

Hell, this is the Grand Duke's Mansion, and a captain who commands 1,500 people is also lined up here waiting for the Grand Duke to receive him?

Fortunately, I can't see the military personnel of the squadron and squad leader here, which makes Du Qian breathe a sigh of relief, if such people have to be received, Gong Wen must not be exhausted to death?

Du Qian found a position at the end and sat and waited honestly, even if there was a teacher Ming Yufei to help him make an appointment, he didn't dare to jump out and talk nonsense at this time.

After a short time, the door of the Grand Duke Hall opened, and two people walked out, one of them was dressed like the secretary of the board of directors, and at a glance he knew that he was the secretary of Gong Wen.

"Which one is Du Qian?" Sure enough, the man asked.

"I, I am. Du Qian stood up, raised his hand, and sighed in his heart, the teacher's face is really big enough, so many people are waiting, including a corps commander with a heavy army, who actually called himself first.

"You are Mr. Du Qian, please come with me, Gong Wen is already waiting for you, you have ten minutes." ”

Ten minutes? That's a little bit less. Du Qian was a little speechless, it seemed that he could only make a long story short, but fortunately, his own affairs were not complicated, and it should be enough.

How did he know that when Duke Wen was dealing with official business, ten minutes was already quite a long time, even if he interviewed the commander of the corps, if there was nothing important, it would be ten minutes.

Just think about it, as a grand duke who holds the military power of the empire, he controls a quarter of the empire's military strength, plus local garrisons, reservists, the total number exceeds tens of millions, plus logistics, materials, garrisons, etc., there are too many people to see and deal with every day. Ten minutes, that's quite a long time.

The people who were waiting to be received looked at Du Qian with a little more strange in their eyes, no one took Du Qian's little kid seriously, but at this time, they had to take a good look at it and keep his appearance in mind.

Behind the Grand Duke, there is not only a team of secretaries, but also several teams such as the staff team, the information team, and the command team, which jointly help the Grand Duke command a quarter of the empire's military strength, without so many people to assist, even if the Grand Duke has three heads and six arms, he can't handle the massive amount of work every day.

"Please come here. The secretary walked in front of him, walked for a few minutes, and then stopped in front of an office door, knocked lightly on the door, and without waiting for the people inside to speak, he pushed it open directly, and motioned for Du Qian to go in.

Du Qian walked into the office, and the secretary behind him also followed, looking at Gong Wen who was sitting behind the executive desk, waiting for his instructions.

"Du Qian, sit down, your teacher said you want to see me, what's the matter? It's office hours now, long story short, go out first if it's okay." Wen Cheng was processing the documents in his hand, and said without raising his head.

"Two things, first, I want a permit to enter the border cave. Second, I want to ask the Grand Duke for someone. ”

"Oh, do you want to go to the border cave?" Hearing Du Qian's words, Wen Cheng raised his head and glanced at him in surprise.

"Yes. ”

"Do you know the difference between the Border Cave Heaven and the Immortal Peak Cave Heaven?" Wen Cheng asked, a child is a child, thinking that he was lucky enough to find the soul of heaven and earth in the Immortal Peak Cave Heaven, and there is still a chance to find another one?

This kid is too frizzy, the Border Cave Heaven and the Immortal Peak Cave Heaven are completely two worlds. On the border of the empire, at least a small half of the military strength revolves around the border cave, and this is not the Zhoushan Empire itself, the same is true of Mending Heaven and Zhenhai, that is to say, the military strength gathered around the border cave is more than one-third of the total strength of the three major forces.

That ghost place, known as the three no matter, in fact, the three major forces all want to manage, think badly, just out of a balanced point of view, no one wants to cause a big battle because of this, everyone just endures it, and looks at the change of events coldly.

If the three major forces do not make a move, many small forces, as well as various groups, individuals, fugitives, robbers, thieves, whatever kind of people, want to get a piece of the pie there. It can be said that within a radius of hundreds of kilometers from the border cave, it is the most chaotic and dangerous place in the world.

Its danger is not even weaker than the deepest part of the Zhoushan Mountain Range.

Entering the interior of the Border Cave, not to mention, you can't even fully trust the people around you, let alone other people.

Compared with the border cave, the Bulao Peak Cave is too safe, there is a channel number for walking, there is trouble, you can find the nearest team to help, find good things, usually only make people jealous and envious, and very few people make a strong robbery.

In the Frontier Cave, even if there is less water in the water bladder around your waist, you may reach out to you, not only strengthening your water bladder, but also killing your team. Some people say that in fact, there is no need for a reason at all, if you don't like it, you will be killed if you are killed.

The premise of killing is not to see what you have, but to see whether your strength is weaker than his, and if your strength is not enough, it is the original sin.

According to incomplete statistics from the Imperial Military Department, the death rate of the team that entered the border cave exceeded 70 percent.

Even so, there are still countless outlaws every year who want to try their luck there, and if they are unlucky, they will leave their lives behind, and if they are lucky enough, they can earn enough money for their lives at one time.

Du Qian is different, he is a personal disciple of Stygian Jade Fei, and he is a very promising talisman maker, even if he is penniless now, with Immortal Jade Flying here, can he still starve him? Will it be less of the resources he needs for his cultivation?

As long as he is given time, under the protection and guidance of Ying Yufei, if he wants to get rich, what else do he need to worry about?

"Yes. Du Qian replied, he knew very well that Gong Wen was loving the house and Wu, and he would remind himself in front of the teacher.

Although he has never seen the Border Cave, through the descriptions of others, Du Qian also knows that the Border Cave is definitely not a good place. But if you want to find the soul of heaven and earth, now you can only go there, Du Qian has no choice, not to mention his own problems, Zhu Ke is waiting there with his eyes blank.

"Do you have a team?" asked Gong Wen helplessly, his precious time was spent arguing with the little kid, trying to convince him to let him know the danger of the border cave?

"Yes, the personnel have been selected, and the ordinary guards are a little troublesome, so they are going to ask the survivors to escort them. Du Qian replied honestly.

"The team you formed yourself, the members you found?" Wen Cheng had a headache for a while, and scolded Ming Yufei as a dog in his heart, this bastard, why didn't he care about his disciple and threw him here directly?

"Yes. ”

"Who are they?" asked Wen Cheng patiently, he was ready to reject Du Qian.

At first glance, Du Qian is a little hairy head, what kind of bullshit border cave heaven permission, is that broken certificate useful?

You go and ask, among the millions of people who enter the border cave every year, how many of them have a permit? That thing, if you ask for it, it's useless, and if you don't get it, you can get in.

The so-called permit certificate can only be helped by the troops that issue the certificate, but the troops will not enter the cave, that is, as long as they leave the control of the troops, that thing is a piece of waste paper.

"There is hope. ”

Wen Cheng nodded, not surprised, yesterday in Tianlu Village, he saw it with his own eyes, and was scolded by Gu Pan. This damn magic stick, Du Qian didn't know anything when he was young, don't you understand? I don't know how to persuade him, and you still support him to go?

"There are Zhu Ke, Yao Jing, Yu Wuxia, Liu Yan ......"

"Wait a minute, the Zhu Ke you are talking about?" Wen Cheng's eyes narrowed, and Zhu Ke also went?...... is somewhat sure, at least it should be enough to save his life, but it is impossible for a person like Zhu Ke to obey Du Qian's command, it seems that this team was formed by Zhu Ke.

Duke Wen didn't know much about the soul master in the Shangjing Soul Mansion, not that he didn't pay attention to the soul master, but it was completely unnecessary.

The soul masters who have not obtained the soul of heaven and earth are all people who are waiting to die, the long ten or eight years, the short three or two years, and even the ashes in the blink of an eye, is it necessary to take the time to pay attention to such people?

"Yes, that's him. ”

"He is the team commander?" Wen Cheng asked with a solemn face, he didn't care who the current Soul Master was, but he was not unfamiliar with the character of the Soul Master, but he had an extremely in-depth understanding, after all, the Soul Master represented a different kind of power.

"Of course not, I'm the team leader. Du Qian raised his head and said proudly, after speaking, he smiled bitterly, originally thought that the team commander was quite good, and he really sat in this position, he knew that the team commander was not so easy to be, and there were too many problems to consider.

Fortunately, Gu Pan is here, his knowledge and experience are enough, with Zhu Ke, the strongest force is in his own hands, even so, the matter of ordinary guards is enough for him to have a headache.

"Are you the team commander?Zhu Ke, will he listen to you?" Wen Cheng asked with a puzzled expression, this is simply impossible, if you want a soul master to follow the instructions, it is easier to teach the pig to climb the tree.

If the Soul Master would be so honest, the Empire would have already done it, and it would have waited until now? (To be continued.) )
