Empty-handed dispersal of the sword can only be done by the top fighting spirit**, if the Cao State spy is present, it can be deduced that this old man is Ding Qi.

Those who practice the top fighting qi ** are generally the children of the royal families and royal families of various countries, with one exception, which is the Ding family's "Qi Transformation into a Dragon Method". This Dou Qi ** has many characteristics like the top **, and the ancestors of the Ding family, Ding Tian and Shao Dian Zhen, together can use amazing combined attack skills.

The only flaw of the "Qi Transformation Dragon Technique" is that it is difficult for cultivators to break through to the level of the Dominating Knight, so far only Ding Zhen of the Ding family has been promoted to the Dominating Knight, and most of the Ding family's children are stuck in the late stage of the Dreadnought Knight.

Ding Kui's fighting spirit cultivation is still relatively low, and he doesn't know how powerful he is, and when he is promoted to a higher level, he will slowly discover the strength of the "Qi Transformation Dragon Technique".

How many generations of Cao Guo have suffered the losses of the Ding family, and their intelligence officers are deeply impressed by the characteristics of the Ding family, and the Shaodian clan has not served as the head of the spy abroad, so this old man can only be Ding Qi, whose whereabouts are erratic.

Han Rujian's father may be able to guess it, but she has never seen the children of the royal family of the Gu Yuan Empire make a move, and even if there is, they are low-level knights, and they can't see the identity of the old man in front of her. Ding Qi deliberately showed such a hand, also to see if Han Rujian could see it.

"What do you want to confirm? Hearing the old man report that his home was as cold as a blade, he changed his name.

"I heard you know Ding Kui?"

"That's right. "Cold as a blade returns to the normal state of high cold.

"What does he look like, and how did you know him?" Ding Qi's tone hinted of eagerness.

This person must also know Ding Kui, Han Rujian immediately understood, and the scene when she first met Ding Kui came to her mind.

"Hello, I'm apprentice knight Ding Kui. "I don't think you look like my eldest brother's subordinates. ”

What impressed Han Rujian the most was that Ding Kui's cute smile was a little cunning. She told the old man in front of her how to get to know Ding Kui in the plague of the demon rat, but she only hid the part where Ding Kui and Ji Chan reached an agreement.

Ding Kun and the old money head are mentioned in the cold and bladed narrative, and Ding Qi is sure that she has met Ding Kui and can barely be called friends.

"It seems that what Miss Han said is true, Ding Kui can be said to have a lot of relationship with me, and the old man apologizes for sending someone to you to inquire about the news. ”

"I don't care about such trivial things anymore, and my predecessors don't have to worry about it. ”

"As far as the old man knows, Miss Han is the designated heir of the Marquis of Changsheng in your country, but you brought the whole family to Spring and Autumn City, and this trip must not be to play. The old man is quite interested in Miss Han's purpose, if you are convenient, can you solve the old man's doubts?

Of course, if you find it inconvenient, you can not say it. The old man has been in Spring and Autumn City for some time, not to mention anything else, he is still quite well-informed in terms of news, Miss Han wants to inquire about what can be sent to contact our people. The expression on the old man's face did not change, but his tone was much kinder.

"Since my predecessors know that my father has designated me as the heir, I must know what happened to the Han family in the Gu Yuan Empire, and I can also judge which prince can ascend to the throne in the future according to the current situation. Don't hide it from my predecessors, I took more than 200 members of the Han family to Lu State, just to avoid trouble. In the future, it will be difficult for the Gu Yuan Empire to have a foothold for the Han family, there is always a place for the Han family in the world, I just want to find a way out for the family. ”

The entire Han family fled from the Gu Yuan Empire, and sooner or later this matter would be known, especially the intelligence officers of those countries, Han Rujian told Ding Qi very simply. has a good relationship with Ding Qi, maybe she can get useful information from him in the future, she is burdened with the heavy responsibility of finding a way for the family, and this account will still be calculated.

"It's rare for Miss Han to be so decisive, there are so many nobles in the world who are persecuted by the royal family of their country, and there are very few people who can break their wrists like you, and the old man admires them. The old man unexpectedly bowed his hand, and what he said seemed to empathize, "There is a decree here, if you have news to inquire about, you can use this decree to go to the south of the city 'Wei'an Carriage and Horse Travel', and find the money deacon who manages loading and unloading, and he can help you with a thing or two." ”

Han Rujian unceremoniously took the talisman and put it in her arms, she let go of Fei Bian, and calmly told the Han family to come to Lu Country to avoid trouble, just for such a talisman, with it, it was all worth it.

"There is one thing I hope my predecessors will tell Ding Kui for me, after Ji Chan returned to China, he has been named Prince of Ping Demon, and his teacher asked him to retreat and practice, and I believe that after leaving the customs, he can get an important position in the Magician Association. Han Rujian thought of a place to deepen his connection with the old man in front of him.

Ding Qi was a little strange, why did Ji Chan have to tell Ding Kui when he was rewarded and obtained an important position? However, seeing that Han Rujian did not mean to explain, he did not ask more.

Han Rujian did not commend Ji Chan to Ding Kui's brothers, and Ji Chan also owed Ding Kui a promise, and it was not a wise thing to be honest with a spy leader. If she knew that the spy leader was Ding Kui's father, the situation would be completely different.

Ding Kui didn't know that his father was confused about the relationship between Ji Chan and himself, and he followed the team led by Teng Yan to the southern town of Shaodian Kingdom, Zhongwangzhou Prefecture City-Zhennan City.

With Zhennan City as the center, a radius of hundreds of miles is a plain area, and the Jing River and the Turbidity Lang River converge in the southeast corner of Zhennan City, these two rivers provide a rich water network system for this plain, making this plain in Zhongwangzhou one of the richest areas in Shaodian Kingdom.

The origin of the name of Zhennan Castle is closely related to its important military position.

Due to the well-developed water system in this area, there are many tributaries of the great rivers, which greatly reduce the speed of movement of the army, and it is obviously not suitable for mobile warfare that emphasizes mobility, then positional warfare based on strong camps will determine the winner or loser of the battle in the region.

The strongest camp is the city, and Zhennan, which is protected by rivers to the east and south, is the most difficult city in the region to conquer due to its large population and abundant food reserves.

The army stationed in Zhennan City can attack the nearby cities and counties by land and water, cutting off the supply lines of the enemy attacking from any direction, so that their own army has a stable rear, which can gradually squeeze the battlefield space of the enemy army, which is an important fulcrum of strategic battles.

As long as Zhennan City does not fall, the enemy army in the south of Zhongwangzhou will not be at peace, and Shaodian Kingdom will have the opportunity to organize a counteroffensive and may recapture the territory occupied by the enemy army at any time.

The territories of the five dukes of Yang, Jiang, Gongsun, Long, and Xun revolved around Zhennan City, and even if there was no garrison of the regular army of Shaodian State, it was unlikely that Zhennan City would be occupied by foreign troops.

The private armies of the five major families combined had more combat effectiveness than five legions, so Zhongwangzhou was the only state that did not send the kingdom's regular army.

In the political system of the Shaodian Kingdom, the state pastor must be a member of the Shaodian clan, and the state pastor of Zhongwangzhou is the same, and the only person who can make the people of the five dukes obey the order is a person at the level of the county king.

Shaodian Jian was named the king of Zhongwang County, that is, the state pastor of Zhongwang Prefecture, he is the most idle state pastor in the kingdom, he does not need to ask about the military and political affairs in the state, as long as he coordinates the affairs of the five major families, he can stay in the state city with peace of mind and live a leisurely and comfortable life.

When the team from Pingzhong County to participate in the state competition arrived, it was naturally not necessary for the state pastor to greet them, and it was enough to be received by the officials of the Qizhong Branch.

The organization that manages knights in the capital is called the "National Federation of Knights' Guilds", or "General Chamber of Knights" for short, while the organization that manages knights in the state city is called the "Zhongwangzhou Branch of the General Federation of National Knights' Guilds", or "Cavalry Branch" for short.

Greeting Fuji Yan at the gate of the North City was Long Shen, the envoy of the county competition.

Seeing Long Shen standing at the gate of the city, Fuji Yan hurriedly turned over and dismounted, walked quickly in front of Long Shen, made a junior salute, and said: "The little nephew Fuji Yan visited Uncle Long, and let the uncle go out to greet him, which really made the little nephew panic." ”

After calmly accepting Fuji Yan's salute, Long Shen smiled and said, "Hehe, you are already the president of the First County Guild, according to the rules, I will greet you on behalf of the Qizhong Branch, it is a matter of course, you don't have to do this." ”

"The little nephew is talking about personal friendship," Teng Yan didn't dare to hold on to the big one, and there was no high-profile basis for the new official to take office, "Uncle, are the rules the same this year as before?"

"Yes, after you enter the Riding Division, you will have to wait until the end of the race to come out, and if you don't enter, you will have to solve all the problems of food and lodging yourself. ”

At this time, several people with identities in Pingzhong County also leaned over.

Long Shen nodded at Ji Ren, Shan Yuan and the others, and added: "You must remember one thing outside, you must not use force in the city, no matter who violates this rule, they will be immediately expelled from the city." ”

"Definitely, definitely, of course we will not use force in the city, who dares to break the rules under the rule of Lord Zhou. Are we still living on Muddy Water Street this year?" replied Ji Ren, representing the people of Pingzhong County.

"That's right, the State Shepherd's Office has issued an announcement, and the people from Pingzhong County have been arranged to go to Muddy Water Street. "Another task of Long Shen is to arrange the official team of Pingzhong County to come to watch the battle.

The so-called official team is the noble lords, the officials of the knights' guilds, the officials of the various cities and counties, and their families.

During the state competition, the number of official teams that poured into Zhennan City at once was too large, and the pavilion post in the state city could not receive so many people, and if people from different places were mixed together, it was easy to have problems. Therefore, the state shepherd's office simply assigned people from each county to different streets, one county to one street, and it was not a problem to arrange food and lodging for hundreds of people.

The official teams everywhere are not poor, and the streets that receive them will have a lot of income, which is decided by lottery at first, and then after a struggle of interests, the streets that receive the official teams are fixed.

Zhennan City's Turbid Water Street received the official team of Pingzhong County, which has a history of more than 30 sessions, and they are very familiar with it.
