As Gu Yanwu said: "When a big thing falls, there are people who are taller than us to carry it." ”

Therefore, when the Xuanjia Army entered the city, Shen Ning did not go to inquire about the news as soon as possible.

However, as the old saying goes: "Chen Li is old, and those who can't stop it." So Shen Ning decided to take the opportunity to ask Ying Qin when he participated in Xianhui's ceremony tomorrow.

He would not have thought that tomorrow would be the last time he and Ying Qin would meet in Shenjing City.

The night breeze is slightly cool, and the bed is warm and sleepy.

The next day, early in the morning, before dawn, someone from the Prince's Mansion came to pick up Shen Ning.

"Slightly cool, why is it so early?" Shen Ning sat in the rickety carriage and asked with a yawn.

Sitting next to him was a eunuch, not very old, with a white face, he was Ying Qin's personal attendant, his voice was sharp, but he was not annoying, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always favored Princess Pingyang, and today's princess and Lu Li naturally want to enter the palace earlier." ”

Shen Ning nodded, it was originally a small hour, he just asked casually.

Lifting the curtain of the carriage, the faint light sprinkled on the streets of Shenjing City, and you could vaguely see that the vendors had set up simple sheds and prepared to make a living for the day, and the pale white mist flowed in the streets and alleys, adding a bit of mystery to the city.

When he came to the Prince's Mansion, Ying Qin was already dressed, sat at a table made of mahogany, and placed a few simple pastries in front of him, and when he saw Shen Ning coming, he motioned for him to eat something together.

"Whether it is in the royal family or in the homes of ordinary people, it can be regarded as a great gift in a woman's life, and many elders of the Zongren Mansion will also come in person." While eating the pastry, Ying Qin said: "Although you and Xian Hui are in love, it doesn't mean that your matter is over, the reason why she has to ask you to participate in the ceremony together is nothing more than to express an attitude to her father and the elders of the Zongren Mansion, an attitude that belongs to the heart." If you go as a foreign minister, it is against the law of etiquette, so you must be careful in what you do. ”

"That's right." Shen Ning naturally knew the way in his heart, and he could understand it even if Qin Duo said it.

But I'm still very grateful to the prospective uncle for this kindness.

After Ying Qin finished eating the pastry, he stood up and prepared to leave, "Wei Liang will take you to attend the ceremony first, and I will come later." ”

"Is it because of what happened to the Xuanjia Army last night?" Shen Ning asked.

Ying Qin was a little surprised, "You usually like to practice magic in the Heavenly Master's Mansion, why do you know about the Xuanjia Army?" ”

"Last night, I saw the Xuanjia army entering the city with Gu Yanwu in the west of the city, and it seems that the matter is not small." Shen Ning explained.

"The Xuanjia Army is composed of cultivators selected by Emperor Taizu Gao during his reign, and it is responsible for guarding the Eastern Emperor Daze and the Beimang Dynasty that has repeatedly violated the border in the north over the years." Shen Ning was his friend, so there was naturally no need for Ying Qin to hide it, so he informed: "This time it is not the demon clan that is causing chaos, but the 130,000 army led by the Northern Mang general Yelu Tuoba to the south, intending to occupy the two provinces of Hedong in Hebei, and Fufeng City, which is the gateway to Hedong Province, has been lost, if nothing else, the imperial court needs to transfer a large army to suppress it." ”

Shen Ning frowned slightly, the land of Shenzhou is not a dynasty of the Great Jin Dynasty, except for Southern Xinjiang and Ryukyu...... These small countries that are not a threat.

The biggest enemy of the Great Jin Dynasty is the Beimang Dynasty established by the northern nomads, with a vast territory and strong folk customs, and the strength of the cultivators is not a little weaker than the hundred schools of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Although they often go south to plunder resources in normal times, there are very few large-scale invasions like now, because they are also facing the threat of demon trouble, and compared to the Great Jin Dynasty, who can defend various places with the hundred families of Xianmen, their demon trouble is even more serious, because the Beimang Imperial Court does not have enough ability to drive the cultivators in the territory.

As if seeing Shen Ning's doubts, Ying Qin said softly: "Beimang is going south this time because Weiyang, the master of the Calamity Dao, has already been located in Beimang, and their cattle and sheep have died in a large area, which has caused a plague, hundreds of thousands of people have died unexpectedly, and the serious shortage of resources has made the southward invasion their only choice." ”

Calamity! Weiyang!

Hearing these two words, Shen Ning understood in his heart, and he understood why Beimang would invade the south on a large scale.

In this world, there are certain laws in the operation of all things in nature, so the evolution of the "Tao", the Tao is the derivation of the laws of heaven and earth, after the departure of the gods, the person who understands the Tao is the person who has reached the peak of the world's strength.

Every Tao has a position of master, and when a living creature sits in the position of master, he must also bear the responsibility given to him by the "Tao" to maintain the law of growth of all things in heaven and earth.

Calamity is the symbol of disaster, floods, flash floods, wars, plagues... These are the duties of successive rulers of calamity.

And this one's Calamity Dao Ruler is named Weiyang.

Although the calamity will control the calamity to a certain extent, each occurrence of the calamity means that countless lives will die, which is irreversible and inviolable.

For example, Shen Ning and them practiced magic, and after reaching the top, they competed for the position of the master of the Miracle Technique Dao, and they would all take on the task of inheriting and innovating the magic.

Looking at the sun slowly rising in the east, Ying Qin let out a long sigh, "This time I plan to go to Hedong Dao in person, the result of my father's discussion with me last night is that the 130,000 troops of Beimang are coming to our Great Jin desperately, if they can't tear off a piece of flesh and blood from Great Jin to make up for their losses, they will not give up, and many elite disciples of the hundred families of the Mountain Gate also need to go to the north with me." ”

Shen Ning hesitated: "Most of the forces are transferred to the north, and the demons and ...... in various places"

The remaining two extremely dangerous forces Shen Ning didn't speak, but Ying Qin naturally knew what he meant, "These things can only be left to Li Sizheng to find a way, in the next few days, the Heavenly Master's Mansion may be very busy, and the father's meaning is that half of the responsibility for dealing with the demon disaster will be officially assigned to the Heavenly Master's Mansion to deal with." ”

Shen Ning had no objection to this matter, because the disciples of the Heavenly Master's Mansion had always taken the stability of the world as their own responsibility.

To put it no joke, if the world can be peaceful, most of them are willing to die generously.

Because they are victims of wars and demons..... They are all qualified orphans picked up by Li Xuanji from all over the country, and for them, Dajin is their home.

No matter what kind of arrangement the imperial court makes, the disciples of the Heavenly Master's Mansion will obey unconditionally.

"It's not too early, the pilgrimage meeting is about to start, I should come." Before leaving, Ying Qin showed a reassuring smile, "Don't worry, our world is not so easy to collapse, because with you and me, there are thousands of wonderful and brilliant people who are willing to sing forward in the dark for the right path of the world." ”
