Yanzhou, Great Wilderness, Border.

At night, the climate on the border is quite cold, sometimes even falling goose feather snow, some soldiers have done tests, the coldest winter, spit on the ground, within three seconds will freeze into ice.

And in the morning, when the sun rises, the temperature rises dramatically, and the heat is terrible.

This is the border, the weather is weird, unpredictable, and the soldiers who can be here are all the elite of the elite, even in the whole of Great Xia, they are enough to rank in the top three.

At this moment, in a military tent, between the flickering candles, a long shadow was dragged, and Pingxihou, who looked heroic and had angular facial features, was wearing battle armor, sitting here, looking at the file.

At this time, the tent was lifted, and Xu Wei, who was burly and wearing heavy armor, walked in, and he could see that there were many places on his armor covered with dense frost.

It's a night in Yanzhou, and it's extremely cold.

"Meet Master Hou." After seeing Pingxihou, with a loud noise, Xu Wei knelt on one knee and saluted Pingxihou.

"What's the matter, tell me." Pingxi Hou Cao Shuang spoke, his face was calm, his bearing was extraordinary, and he was extremely calm, as if nothing in the world could move him.

Xu Wei knelt on one knee, bowed his head and said: "Lord Hou, there is a message from the sky, the matter of increasing troops, the court said that it should be considered again, the world is in chaos at present, and the state capitals are not peaceful, and the court said that it cannot only consider the border, but also take into account the overall situation." ”

When Pingxihou heard this, he didn't say anything, but just let out a "hmm" that was not salty.

After reporting the news, Xu Wei raised his head, looked at Pingxi Hou's calm and unwavering face, and asked tentatively: "Master Hou, then this matter, let's just forget it?" ”

Pingxi Hou glanced at the burly, rugged-looking Xu Wei lightly, and said, "Otherwise? ”

"Master Hou, you ...... It seems that it has long been known that the imperial court will not agree? Xu Wei asked puzzled.

Pingxihou didn't answer him this question, but said, "What news is there from the barbarians?" ”

When Xu Wei heard this, his face turned solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "There are scouts who have reported that they have seen the figures of barbarians haunting around the 100,000 Mountains many times, and they have even approached the border of our army several times, but the moment they were discovered, they left, and we couldn't leave them." ”

Pingxi Hou bowed slightly, and when he mentioned the barbarians, even his expression gradually became solemn.

Because, he got the information, the reason why the barbarians reappeared in the 100,000 mountains this time was not only because they learned the news that the Xia Emperor had disappeared without a trace, but more importantly, because the barbarians had obtained the relics of the ancient gods and demons in the depths of the 100,000 mountains!

Barbarian is the name of Great Xia, or the Central Plains human race, within the barbarians, they call themselves - descendants of gods and demons.

The word barbarian is regarded by them as a shame, and they feel that it is the Central Plains human race that humiliates them.

And the reason why they call themselves the descendants of gods and demons is because there is the blood of primeval gods and demons hidden in the body of every barbarian, regardless of men, women, and children.

In the primeval era, Kyushu was not as it is now, divided into twenty-one large states, and there were only nine plates on the land, at that time the human race was extremely weak, and the concept of martial arts had not yet appeared, and Kyushu at that time was ruled by a group of gods and demons.

At that time, the human race was just food for gods and demons.

The primeval gods and demons are extremely strong, it can be said that they pick the stars and take the moon, they are omnipotent, the gods and demons are crisscrossing Kyushu, rampaging the world, and no person or race is the opponent of the primeval gods and demons.

And during this period, the primeval gods and demons enslaved the human race, and after combining with the human race, some of the bloodlines born are the barbarians today.

The barbarians have a little blood of gods and demons, and they think that their bloodline is noble, and instead of uniting with the human race, they go with the gods and demons to enslave the human race.

Martial arts, which appeared at this time, in the primeval era, martial arts was the method that the human race explored in order to deal with the primeval gods and demons.

It's just that later, for some unknown reason, maybe the heavens and the earth have changed greatly, or maybe it is other reasons, one day, all the primeval gods and demons suddenly disappeared.

As for the barbarians, they still want to be like gods and demons, enslave the human race, rule Kyushu, of course the human race is unwilling, rise up to resist, at that time the human race did not have a country, but to the tribe as a gathering point, each tribal leader is a martial arts master, by them led countless human races, overthrowing the ambition of the barbarians.

Since then, in Kyushu, the human race has become the master, and there is friction between the barbarians and the human race from time to time, but with the passage of time, the blood of gods and demons in the barbarian body is gradually diluted, and the barbarian is less and less the opponent of the human race.

It can be said that the grievances between barbarians and humans have continued from ancient times to the present.

It's just that with the passage of time, the bloodline in the body has gradually been diluted, and the strength of the barbarians has become weaker and weaker.

The legend is that in the deepest part of the 100,000 mountains, there are treasures of the ancient gods and demons, and there are hidden secrets of the disappearance of gods and demons.

Pingxi Hou got the news that the barbarians went to the depths of the 100,000 mountains and found the treasures left by the gods and demons in the primeval period, and then their strength soared.

It is precisely because of this that they have the courage to walk out of the 100,000 mountains again.

This is also a point that makes Pingxi Hou jealous, about the deeds of the ancient gods and demons, he can only find them from ancient books, and he can't know what the barbarians have found in the depths of the 100,000 mountains.

At this time, Xu Wei suddenly said: "Master Hou, now that Emperor Xia has disappeared, chaos is everywhere in the world, we are sitting on the border, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops under our command, it is better to ......"

Speaking of this, Xu Wei raised his head and looked at Pingxi Hou, an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes, as if a fire was burning.

Xu Wei knew that Emperor Xia had disappeared, and with the current power of Pingxi Hou, the only thing that could make Pingxi Hou jealous in the entire Great Xia was the Huai King who was not proficient in martial arts in the sky.

After all, although King Huai himself does not know martial arts and is an ordinary person who is weak and sickly, there is a great grandmaster of the Innate Realm by his side who is always close to him.

And this is only the strength of King Huai on the surface, secretly, no one knows how many masters King Huai has under his command for so many years.

At least, judging from the news Xu Wei got, there is more than one martial arts master in the Innate Realm, under the command of King Huai!

And on this side of the border, including Pingxihou himself, there is no cultivation of the innate realm, so Pingxihou will be jealous of King Huai.

Hearing Xu Wei's words, Pingxi Hou frowned slightly, obviously a little displeased, and the atmosphere in the military tent suddenly condensed.

Seeing this, Xu Wei was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said urgently: "I am also complaining about Hou Ye, Hou Ye, you have been sitting on the border for so many years, not only has the court not given a little reward, but even the little Hou Ye has died in Tiandu, and now, the barbarians are ready to move, you want to increase the army, but the court refuses, isn't this forcing us to die!" ”

If it weren't for the fact that Pingxihou knew Xu Wei's character well, if someone else dared to say such things in front of him to test him, Pingxihou would have killed him on the spot.

"If it's all right, you can retreat." Ping Xihou's voice was already a little cold, obviously impatient.

Despite this, Xu Wei, who was kneeling on the ground and standing on the ground with his head, still let out a sigh of relief, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back, and he said in a low voice: "Master Hou, there is one last thing for my subordinates." ”

"Say." Ping Xihou's voice regained its calmness again, he was always so moody and not easy to distract.

Xu Wei said: "The great prince of Tiandu sent a letter, saying that Gu Shen, the murderer who killed the little marquis, was ordered by Jing Tiansi and was rushing to Yanzhou to support. ”

Before Cao Ying died, he had sent a message to Pingxi Hou, and he was willing to vouch for his life that Cao Zhen's death must be inseparable from Gu Shen.

Moreover, he also said in the letter that he would be looking for an opportunity to design an ambush to kill Gu Shen, but now there has been no news in the follow-up, and Pingxi Hou naturally knows that Cao Ying is most likely dead.

Xu Wei lowered his head and said, "Master Hou, the eldest prince revealed this kind of news to us, and said that he would also help us in the matter of increasing troops, let us wait for his news, so it seems that this Ji Nian is intentionally befriending you." ”

Pingxi Hou said lightly: "He wants to be the emperor, and now he urgently needs support from all sides, but as long as King Huai doesn't nod, it won't be his turn to sit on the throne." ”

Xu Wei nodded and agreed with this, and then, his eyes were cold, and he asked, "Master Hou, that kid Gu Shen, do you want me to personally take action to kill him?" ”

Although Gu Shen's reputation for defeating Ananda and cultivating the incorruptible body of Vajra that no one in Kyushu had cultivated for hundreds of years had spread to the border, Xu Wei was still very confident.

Because, not long ago, he broke through to the realm of returning to the truth, became a real person, and his strength increased greatly.

Even if Gu Shen is an incorruptible body of King Kong, he has already refined it into reality, as long as he does not fight in close quarters, Xu Wei is not afraid of Gu Shen.

When Pingxi Hou heard this, he glanced at him without being salty, and said: "Now that he is not what he used to be, even if you are a real person, you may not be his opponent." ”

Xu Wei was a little angry, but he didn't dare to refute Pingxihou's words, so he could only say in a muffled voice: "Then what should I do, won't we avenge the little marquis?" ”

Pingxihou's tone was indifferent, as if he was talking about a trivial matter, and he just listened to him: "To deal with him, you don't need to take action personally, just let others go." ”

His tone was very relaxed and freehand, obviously not taking Gu Shen seriously.

Although Gu Shen has achieved the incorruptible body of King Kong, is known as the first day of pride in Kyushu for hundreds of years, and has reached the Gang Qi realm and has become the Huang-level commander of Jingtiansi, in Xu Wei, or in the eyes of Pingxi Hou himself, Gu Shen is still too far behind him.

If he insisted on killing Gu Shen, he didn't need to take action himself, the hundreds of thousands of troops under his command were enough to crush Gu Shen like an ant.

After all, Pingxi Hou is a marquis of Great Xia, and he sits on the border, holds real power, and his power is extremely huge, if he is willing, even the great martial arts master of the Innate Realm can also be moved, but it will cost a lot of money.

"Master Hou, what do you mean?" Xu Wei frowned, a little bit didn't understand what Pingxihou meant, with Gu Shen's strength, if they don't do it, who will do it?

I only heard Pingxi Hou say lightly: "Go contact the Bloody Clothes Building, let their black list number one killer make a move, this person has a grudge with Gu Shen, let the Bloody Clothes Building kill Gu Shen, so that Jing Tiansi can't find our heads, as for the bounty, as long as it's not too much, you can directly agree for me." ”

When Xu Wei heard this, he suddenly realized and said, "Yes!" ”

Pingxi Hou has been in charge of the border for so many years, and in order to monitor the movements of the barbarians at all times, he naturally established his own intelligence agency.

Although it is not as fast as the speed at which the Red Dust Building and Jing Tiansi can obtain information, it also has its own uniqueness.

Moreover, if it is in Yanzhou, to some extent, it will be even worse.

After all, Yanzhou, especially the border, is his territory, and he is the emperor of the soil here.
