During this time, Yang Ning was a little afraid of going out of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. As long as he showed up, the matchmakers who had been waiting outside the city lord's mansion all day long would flock to him, insisting on introducing him to the unmarried girls in the town.

The young and beautiful maids and servants in the City Lord's Mansion also tried to find excuses to get close to Yang Ning and win a little favor. Think about it, if you are lucky, you can become a famous blacksmith's wife, not only can you get rid of the identity of a subordinate, but also can no longer worry about food and clothing.

Even the city lord occasionally joked about Yang Ning:

"Master Yang Ning, what do you think of the two girls in my house, Qiu Ju or Lan Xiang? They love you so much, why don't I match you and marry you one of them? ”

Among the many young maids, these two are in their twenties, and their appearance is also young and beautiful among many people, and they are the most attentive to Yang Ning, and they often come to Yang Ning's house to wash vegetables, cook, and clean after they are busy with things in the house, and they get along very well with Yang An.

"Uh. Don't make fun of the villain, my lord, she and I are nearly thirteen years apart, and asking a young girl to marry a guy like me who can almost be their father is not delaying their good years? ”

For the city lord's ridicule, a layer of fine sweat appeared on Yang Ning's forehead. The death of his wife will always leave a shadow in his heart, and he is a little afraid to accept new feelings. Moreover, he also believed very much that if she nodded and agreed to the city lord's joke, for the sake of face, the city lord would definitely hold a family affair for him.

"You! It's really an elm pimple, what's the concern? Your adult and I are fifty years old this year, and the concubine in the eighth room is only twenty years old, and the difference is thirty years old, and now I am not the same as having a happy life. As long as you're capable, is age a problem? ”

Regarding Yang Ning's excuse for prevarication, the city lord obviously disagreed. In the world where the strong are respected, as long as you are a strong man, as long as you have the ability, then you can marry as many wives and concubines as you want.

However, since Yang Ning didn't have this idea now, the city lord couldn't force him to agree, so he had to see if these two little girls in the mansion could have the ability to make Yang Ning finally accept them.

A year has passed since he entered the City Lord's Mansion unconsciously, Yang Ning's appearance has undergone earth-shaking changes, his hair has gradually turned back to jet black, and the wrinkled skin on his face has returned to fullness again, although it is not as white and smooth as that of young people, but it is full of healthy bronze skin, and his body has become a lot stronger, exuding the charm of a mature man, and the girls who are more tempting are yearning.

This kind of change, the city lord also has some doubts in his eyes, but he often sees Yang Ning practicing a few times in the evening, thinking that this is due to the change in his quality of life and regular physical exercise.

In fact, Yang Ning himself doesn't know what the reason is, you say it's because he can practice qi into the body like a monk and transform his body with the aura of heaven and earth, but so far, he has not absorbed any wisp of aura from heaven and earth, but there is spiritual power in his body, and he also runs through the meridians of his hands, but he doesn't know how to use it.

The difference between a martial artist and a monk in the Star Destroying Heaven Domain is to see if they can sense the aura and absorb it into their bodies. The one who can sense the aura and absorb the first ray of aura into the body is a monk, which means that you are a mortal monk from now on, and you have officially stepped into the ranks of cultivators, and you are expected to be able to live forever. In this way, you can refine the aura and transform it into mana, once you have mana, you can learn spells, some advanced spells, and you can use them to turn over the river and the sea, and destroy the world.

If you don't sense the aura that exists between heaven and earth, then you can only be a martial artist at most for the rest of your life, no matter how gorgeous and profound your martial arts are, after a hundred years, you will still be a cup of loess.

And what is even more terrifying about the monk is that he can attract the great power of heaven and earth for his use, even if you are strong in martial arts, but if you want to fight against the monk, someone can throw a spell to beat you to the point of spitting blood, and even scattering your soul. Just imagine, can human strength compete with the power of heaven and earth?

Although he still hasn't been able to absorb a wisp of spiritual energy into his body, Yang Ning understands that the exercise that suddenly appeared in his mind is very extraordinary, and he still cultivates diligently.

However, what he didn't know was that the meridians in his body had already stored a certain amount of spiritual power now, and these spiritual powers had opened up some of the meridians in his body, strictly speaking, he had already entered the ranks of monks.

Moreover, these spiritual powers are all transformed by the soil lumps in the dantian, and every trace is extremely pure, almost several times more than other monks, just according to the purity and capacity, it is higher and more than the third-level city lord of the mortal grade, and what is lacking now is that he has not formally learned the spell.

These, Yang Ning didn't expect that if there was a strong person to teach, or if he could find a book of spells to study intensively, then it was really impossible to say who the strongest person in Nanyuan Town belonged to.

However, whether it is a technique or a dense spell, it is an item in the Damaged Star Heaven Domain, and it is impossible to show it easily, especially in remote areas or some small families, this kind of dense will usually be passed on by word of mouth, and will not be written and taught in books, so as to prevent the leakage of secret methods.

In the library of the City Lord's Mansion in Nanyuan City, Yang Ning had read all the books, but he had never seen any of them about spells, and now Yang Ning could be said to have empty spiritual power, but he could not use it.

Time is like flowing water, and unconsciously, in the City Lord's Mansion, Yang Ning's father and son have been living for two years. This year, Yang Ning was thirty-four years old, and Yang An was eleven years old. Because he has practiced boxing with his father in the past few years, although his body is not burly, he is also much stronger than before, and he will help his father burn fire and forge weapons in his spare time.

In the evening of this day, Yang Ning had just finished forging a weapon, leaving the forging place and returning to his residence, when he saw Wang Yangming, the commander of the personal guard army, rushing in from the gate of the city lord's mansion in a hurry, with a solemn look on his face.

"Brother Wang! Brother Wang! You haven't come home so late, and you're in a hurry, what's going on? ”

shouted loudly twice in a row before Wang Yangming could hear it, and Yang Ning asked him with a puzzled expression.

"Ahh Brother Yang, you call me? I'm sorry, I was in a hurry to do something just now, and I didn't hear it, so please don't be surprised. ”

Hearing Yang Ning's shout, Wang Yangming stopped his hurried footsteps. Then, he looked around very cautiously, raised his hand to Yang Ning mysteriously, asked him to come closer, and whispered in his ear:

"Brother, tell you something big, so that you yourself can be prepared. I just received news that our dynasty has started a war with the Norvi dynasty, and now the Norvi dynasty has gathered 100,000 troops to attack Nantu County, and I must quickly report this news to the city lord. ”

Receiving this news, Yang Ning was taken aback, Nantu County is only five hundred miles away from Nanyuan Town, and the defenders there are only 20,000 people, if Nantu County is breached, then it will not take three days for the enemy army to attack Nanyuan Town, at that time, the 100,000 residents of Nanyuan Town will suffer the tragedy of life.

"Oh, oh, oh. Thank you, Brother Wang, for the reminder. Then Brother Wang, you are busy first, I won't hinder you, and I will invite Brother Wang to drink when you are free. ”

Yang Ning's mind was still a little dizzy, so he greeted Wang Yangming twice, and walked home with one foot high and one foot low. He didn't feel anything after dinner, but asked Yang Ning to wrap up some valuable things at home, ready to leave at any time in case of a critical situation, so he fell on the bed blankly, looking at the roof with blank eyes.

Early the next morning, when Yang Ning woke up and walked to the place where he usually forged weapons, he found that the entire City Lord's Mansion was filled with a gloomy atmosphere, whether it was a sergeant who was a soldier or a servant working in the mansion, he was in a hurry when he walked, and his face had a grim look.

This situation has been like this for three consecutive days, and when I met the lord of the city by chance, I also saw that the lord's face was very gloomy, and there was no trace of a smile. Yang Ning wanted to know the situation of the war in Nantu County, but he couldn't find out the slightest news from anyone, and Wang Yangming, who was the most familiar, didn't see him for several days.

With such a close proximity to Nantu County, the lord of the castle must know what the battle situation is like there. Even if he was anxious, Yang Ning didn't dare to ask the city lord directly.

In this way, another five days passed in the tormenting time, and just when Yang Ning was waiting for the news to be extremely anxious, he suddenly received a call from the city lord.
