Chapter 106: No One Before and No One After (Two in One)
King Qi is naturally the eldest prince of Zhou, Zhou Yanwei's half-brother, and the best candidate for the crown prince.
Previously, it was precisely because the King of Qi went north to kill the barbarians that the indoctrination officials were unsupervised, giving Zhou Yanwei a chance.
Now that King Qi was accidentally captured by the Night Man, in case something happens, Zhou Yanwei is naturally the most likely candidate.
However, this matter is still uncertain, because the queen also has a young son, the third prince, who is only two years old.
Zhou Yanwei is long, but the third prince is a concubine, if Ji Chengtian is more eccentric, it is completely possible to directly bypass Zhou Yanwei and choose to cultivate the three princes.
Ji Chengtian is only forty-two years old now, and he is in the prime of life, so he can cultivate another one from zero.
Although Chen Kuang actually felt that Ji Chengtian might not want to establish a prince at all, so he didn't care about it at all......
After all...... He's looking for an elixir.
If you can live forever, who will raise an heir for yourself?
Naturally, it is cool to monopolize the power by yourself.
But even so, for Zhou Yanwei, King Qi's accident should be very pleasing to hear.
Chen Kuang thought so in his heart, but the faces of the three of them did not have any joy, on the contrary, they were extremely heavy.
Looks like...... The breach of the defense line in the northern plains was far more serious than the capture of King Qi.
Zhou Yanwei obviously knew what others would think, and explained with a serious face:
"The difficulty of the world is greater than the struggle between the family and the country."
"If the Northern Plains defense line is torn apart, it may be the beginning of a catastrophe not only for the Great Zhou, but also for the entire Central Domain, and even for the Terrans......
Chen Kuang knew he wasn't alarmist.
Because the Liang Kingdom as a whole is located in the southeast of the Central Domain, there is still a long distance from the Northern Plains, and it is relatively rich and peaceful, in Chen Kuang's memory, he does not have a deep impression of the Night Barbarian invasion.
But some of the history and things that have been passed down by word of mouth are still understood.
The Night Barbarians and the Terrans are mortal enemies that have been difficult to resolve for thousands of years.
At the end of the day, there's only one reason.
Night barbarians, who live on cannibalism.
Even if you can usually use other meat or monsters to feed your stomach, it doesn't take long for you to die of exhaustion, so the Night Barbarians must plunder humans for food.
In ancient times, the human race was prosperous in all countries, and there were people who sat in charge of the human race, and they did not dare to make a mistake at night, so they could only live in a corner and be driven to the ancient glacier outside the northern plains to fend for themselves.
However, after the "Battle of Hunting the Sky", the fall of the human emperor, the decline of the country's fortunes, and the endless conquest in the troubled times, the night barbarians took the opportunity to make a comeback, secretly picking up corpses in the war, and waited until they reproduced to a certain scale, and began to wantonly invade the central region.
And the night barbarian, in the beginning, was not actually called the night barbarian.
In ancient times, they had another name -
Demon.
Today, the Night Barbarian has developed and grown in the Northern Plains, with a total of seventy-two large and small tribes, supporting the Night Barbarian King Ahusi, eyeing the Middle Regions and watching at all times.
And the reason why Yeman is still unable to cross the Xunmi Mountain now.
First, the natural barrier of Xunmi Mountain is too high and vast, and it lies in front of the Northern Plains, hindering the advance route of the Yeman.
This should also be the consideration of the emperor back then.
Second, it was the countless cultivators and mortal armies who had come after each other to build an incomparably strong defense line in the Northern Plains with their flesh and blood.
Even among them, the practitioner is not the main force.
The mortal army that relies on the "power array" to fight is the main force fighting against the night barbarians.
The cultivators are very strong, but the number of them is too small after all.
The fertility speed of the night barbarians is very terrifying, and their cannibalism is not just a simple eating meat and drinking blood, they can directly absorb the aura, completely turn the human race into their own nourishment, and in a short period of time, they can grow to the same strength as an innate realm cultivator.
Two fists are hard to beat four hands, and no matter how strong a cultivator is, when facing hundreds of enemies, he will definitely have a moment of exhaustion.
The year before last, there was a rumor that a cultivator in the realm of a grandmaster was trapped in the depths of the Northern Plains, and his spiritual energy was consumed alive, and he was finally eaten.
In contrast, the Formation only needed a well-trained mortal and a low-level cultivator who had cultivated the Formation Array as the Formation Eye, which was enough to exert the strength of a cultivator far beyond the Formation Eye.
For example, Li Hongya's Black Armor Army is one of the best.
She majored in the formation of potential.
If it weren't for being beheaded by Chen Kuang in the middle of the road, she would definitely lead the Black Armor Army to Chiqi King in the future.
The national border of the Great Zhou, which is close to the Northern Plains, is the first and most important line of defense.
If this line of defense is completely torn apart, the people on the border of the Great Zhou will be unimaginable, and if the Great Zhou can't stop it, the countries behind will also suffer......
"However, even in this case, Ji Chengtian still has to use his forces to destroy the Liang Kingdom."
Chen Kuang shook his head secretly: "His desire for immortality is too strong. ”
But when he turned his head and thought about Su Yu, it seemed that the desires of the kings of the world were probably the same.
"The Northern Plains Defense Line is a matter of great importance, and it is urgent to do so, and I Guan Tiansi takes the Mandate of Heaven as its own responsibility, and it is a sect that advocates joining the WTO, so naturally we cannot sit idly by."
Qi Sibai followed up and explained: "The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, and it is even more incumbent on us cultivators. ”
He mentioned the Mandate of Heaven, and Chen Kuang couldn't help but be curious: "Didn't you say before that your Mandate of Heaven is a demon sword?" Now that the destiny is gone, what will you do after that? ”
Qi Sibai was stunned, and then suddenly said, "Brother Chen has misunderstood. ”
He smiled and explained a little funny: "It turns out that Brother Chen came here in such a hurry because he was worried that his destiny would be gone? ”
Qi Sibai shook his head and said, "Zai Xia is the only person who can see the Demon Sword's Destiny, but looking for the Demon Sword is not the only Destiny to be pursued in Xia. ”
He looked up to the sky and narrowed his eyes, as if he was counting something, and muttered: "The destiny that needs to be pursued in the next place, in addition to the demon sword, there are probably ...... Twelve. ”
Chen Kuang: "......"
Good guys, it turns out that the destiny of the Heavenly Division is wholesale?!
But when he heard this, he was still relieved.
If it was because of him that Qi Sibai's destiny was gone, then he would still be a little unhappy in his heart.
Qi Sibai said goodbye to the three of them and set off for Kitahara.
Retracting his gaze, Lin Eryou shook his feather fan and said to Chen Kuang:
"The two of us won't leave first, since the King of Qi has been captured, then Jishao County will definitely be handed over to His Royal Highness to deal with, it's a good time."
This is where the main event begins.
Chen Kuang knew that at this moment, he was going to decide the future of Jishao County.
He nodded, and said in a deep voice: "In this case, the Cao Gang will be taken over by the Chen family, and I also have the selection of the county guard in my heart, and the indoctrination officer can be determined by you, but you can't interfere in the secular affairs of Jishao County, how about it?" ”
His words were not negotiable, and he was extremely strong.
All said that they were dead, basically did not leave any room for the two opposites, and Ji Shao County was clearly arranged by him.
Just a correctional officer...... Basically an empty commander.
And he also made it clear that he couldn't interfere.
Doesn't this mean that most of their calculations have become a bamboo basket for water...... Originally, if he was on the ship, Lin Eryou would definitely have to bargain.
But as soon as he came, Chen Kuang himself already had an amazing record of killing the peak of the Moon Holding Realm head-on.
Lin Eryou himself is also in the Moon Realm, and he really doesn't dare to touch it hard......
When he thought that it might make Chen Kuang hostile to him, he was a little worried in his heart!
If it had been placed in the past, he would never have dreamed that one day he would be "afraid" of a climbing realm.
But the facts are right in front of you.
Lin Eryou had to be convinced.
Second, he now knows that there is a "dragon king" behind the other party.
"Alas, Brother Chen is a great hero who saved many people in Jishao County this time."
Lin Eryou sighed and said with a wry smile: "Naturally, you have the final say." ”
Chen Kuang laughed: "It's easy to say, presumably as soon as this incident comes out, the other indoctrination officers also know what to do." ”
The two glanced at each other, even if they finalized the pattern after Ji Shao County.
The atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot, Lin Eryou raised his wine glass, and apologized for some of his previous mistakes and calculations.
Lin Eryou drank all the wine in the wine glass.
Chen Kuang shook his head, and said politely and politely: "It's just such a trivial matter, where is there any need for Brother Lin to be so solemn, just say a word ......."
He said so, but Lin Eryou wanted to use Chen Kuang to grasp the hidden power of Liang Guo, but the reason why Chen Kuang was directly besieged and killed by three Martial Saint Pavilion masters could be regarded as a trick for Chen Kuang.
He still remembered it.
Lin Eryou flipped his palm, took out a jade pendant, and handed it to Chen Kuang.
"This is the identity symbol of the distinguished guests of the Wanlin Chamber of Commerce, and so far only sixteen pieces have been given, with this jade, you can settle down at the Chamber of Commerce post station anywhere, and the Chamber of Commerce will provide shelter with the highest specifications."
"In addition, if you have something you want, you can ask the Chamber of Commerce, if the Chamber of Commerce has inventory, it will give priority to keeping it for your guests, and if not, it will also send someone to find it."
"If you buy anything at the Chamber of Commerce, you can get a discount."
"There are other requirements, as long as they are not excessive, they can all be met."
"This one is my apology."
Lin Eryou put on a somewhat unfamiliar and somewhat familiar business smile, and said, "I hope that Brother Chen will ignore his past suspicions." ”
In a trance, Chen Kuang felt as if he had seen a salesman in his previous life.
He almost forgot that this guy in front of him also has an identity as a rich second generation......
Wanlin Chamber of Commerce.
But it's a business that specializes in magical spiritual treasures!
Chen Kuang blinked, took it, and said with a smile: "Between me and Brother Lin, where is there any suspicion, aren't we good friends at first sight?" ”
He put the jade pendant into a storage bag and reached out to pour himself a glass of wine.
"Come on,!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, in Zhou Yanwei's opinion, there was a feeling of embarrassment among fox friends and dog friends.
Zhou Yanwei shook his head, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Chen, we were deceived by you so badly before." ”
"However, now that I think about it, Brother Chen's disguise skills are also first-class, obviously in the realm of ascending the building, but he pretends to be in the realm of enlightenment without any flaws......"
Chen Kuang was stunned for a moment, and then raised his eyebrows: "Disguise? ”
He spread his hands: "Except for my appearance, I have never disguised anything else. ”
The smiles on Zhou Yanwei and Lin Eryou's faces froze, and then gradually disappeared.
Previously, they had been discussing with Qi Sibai for a long time about what was going on with Chen Kuang's cultivation that had suddenly skyrocketed.
In the end, he came to the conclusion that Chen Kuang disguised his cultivation when he boarded the ship.
Although everyone present at the time couldn't feel that he was a disguised cultivator.
But he must have been disguised.
It is still possible to break through from the Nine Veins of the Open Aperture Realm to the Innate Realm in a few days, but it is absolutely impossible to jump from the Innate Realm to the Ascending Realm!
Combined with the hypothetical cultivation given by the Canglang Review, of course, there is only one possibility left.
Chen Kuang must have used an extremely clever camouflage method!
Lin Eryou was silent for a while, and said, "Brother Chen...... Not kidding? ”
Chen Kuang nodded, looked at the two of them, and said with a smile: "What, you don't believe it?" ”
He sighed, "Okay, then let's be when I'm indeed in disguise." ”
Zhou Yanwei took a breath, seemed to have made up his mind, and arched his hand: "If Brother Chen needs it, I can ask Lao Ma to escort Brother Chen out of Liang Kingdom!" ”
That old horse is naturally the old grandmaster who has been following him before.
He said this not because Chen Kuang needed the protection of this old grandmaster.
Instead, the appearance of this old grandmaster represents the will of Zhou Yanwei, or rather, the prince of the Great Tuesday!
Chen Kuang didn't accept this kindness again this time.
He shook his head and said:
"Brother Yanwei has a chivalrous heart, which is very good."
"I received my wishes, but I don't want Brother Yanwei to put himself in danger because of this."
Chen Kuang patted Zhou Yanwei on the shoulder, and said quietly: "Stick a knife in your friend's ribs, but you don't really want to insert yourself twice......
Zhou Yanwei was speechless and silent.
He did this, which was tantamount to going against Ji Chengtian, although there was a probability that Chen Kuang would escape alive, but the consequences of angering Ji Chengtian ...... He's also gambling.
The life and death of King Qi are now unknown, and there are only two princes left, and only Zhou Yanwei is left who can preside over the overall situation in the chaotic Liang State.
The remnants of the Liang State who have fled, and the Liang State that is under control are stable...... Bet on which one he chooses.
Because of some information he knew, Zhou Yanwei bet that his father would choose the latter.
However, since Chen Kuang refused, Zhou Yanwei would not force it.
Chen Kuang's purpose for coming here has been accomplished, and he is about to leave.
Lin Zhou and the others sent Chen Kuang out, but suddenly heard a commotion of cultivators outside.
"Canglang Review has been updated!"
"Isn't it?! Isn't it just a new issue this month?! Why again? ”
"I don't know, didn't you fall asleep last night?! Chen Kuang made such a big move last night, if the Canglang review is not updated, it will be called a substandard! ”
The cultivator who had received the new issue of the Canglang Review in advance stood directly on a high place and unfolded the scroll in his hand in mid-air.
All eyes were on the scroll.
Chen Kuang also looked over.
I saw my name and ranked fifteenth!
"...... Uproar"
The cultivators suddenly erupted in a clamor of consternation.
In a month, the Canglang Review was updated twice in a row, and the thirty-third was airborne on the list, and the second time it was directly in the fifteenth place!
Unprecedented! There is no one to come!
Adjust your schedule and update it at night starting tomorrow
