Chapter Twenty-Three: Marshal Baili

The rain in the city was pouring down more and more, and the people in purple and gold uniforms rushed to the eaves in a gloomy manner, and he patted the rain on his body impatiently, and when he looked up, he saw the people jumping down from the Tianzheng Bird.

"Yo, the military pavilion master is good. He snorted coldly, and the young man beside him also hurriedly bowed.

"Why didn't Captain Gao report when he entered the city in advance?" Xiao Qianye was also unceremonious, leaving no mercy, "The handover time for the forbidden army to enter the city should be the day after tomorrow, and I will naturally send someone to invite you at that time, but before that, Captain Gao should rest in the surrounding counties first." ”

"I just came in to take a stroll, why should the military pavilion master refuse people thousands of miles away?" Gao Jingping replied coldly, "Or is there another hidden story in the investigation without clues in the past month? The military pavilion master has something to hide and doesn't want me to see it?"

"Huh...... Then Captain Gao will take care of himself. Xiao Qianye dealt with it casually, and he didn't want to talk to the other party too much, but when he turned around and was about to leave, Gao Jingping grabbed him and said with a sigh, "Why is the military pavilion master wearing civilian clothes?

"What am I wearing, do I need to report to Captain Gao?" he shook off Gao Jingping's hand in disgust, and the other party snorted coldly, "No wonder Uncle wants me to pay attention to your actions, you really have a problem......

"Captain......" The young man beside him hurriedly interrupted, smiling, "Pavilion Master, Captain Gao entered the city in advance at the invitation of the mirage, not intentionally offended, please forgive me, there is still some time before dusk, Captain Gao will walk around the street casually when he has nothing to do, if it affects your mission, we will leave now." ”

"Mu Xizhao, why are you so polite to him?" Gao Jingping saw his respectful appearance, and he was angry, "Who is your boss? This guy won over His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back then and robbed you of the position of pavilion master, if it weren't for the fact that your uncle saw you pitifully and transferred you to the forbidden army, you would be a dog under him now! Don't know who to thank now!"

Mu Xizhao's eyes sank, and he didn't refute.

He is the adopted son of Gao Chengchuan, the governor of the forbidden army, in order to seize the military pavilion monopolized by the Xiao family, he has been painstakingly cultivated for many years, when the Tianzheng Mansion suffered a catastrophe overnight and was almost wiped out, and the remaining eldest son Xiao Yibai was a person who did not do his job, just when the governor thought that the victory was safe, the second son Xiao Qianye suddenly returned from Kunlun Mountain, and quickly got the support of Prince Mingxi, and directly cut off the position of the main position of the military pavilion at his fingertips!

He also immediately lost the trust of the Governor, and was transferred back to the Forbidden Army from the Cabinet, never to be used again, and since then he has become a veritable outcast, and has been placed by the Governor among his nephews, running errands and errands.

However, even so, he could not have any resentment - to resist Governor Gao was to send him to death.

"Mu Xizhao, my uncle sent you here to protect me, I see that the military pavilion master is not good, should you do your duty?"

"Captain......" He hesitated and didn't move.

"Do you want to be thrown into the wasteland to serve your sentence again?" Gao Jingping raised his tone.

Mu Xizhao's face changed, and he subconsciously pressed the long sword in his hand, biting his lip and trying to restrain his emotions.

Wasteland...... In addition to the Heavenly Imperial City in the center, there are also the four major capitals of Yudu, Dongming, Jialuo and Yangchuan that surround the four realms, and all other areas are wasteland, he was originally an orphan in the wasteland, only those who fought with wild beasts to survive, and even the sword he carried was rusty, picked up from the corpse of starvation.

Governor Gao had picked him up in the pile of dead men on his way back, or had been intrigued by the loneliness and caution in his eyes, and the unpredictable old man had taken him back on a whim and taken him as a son.

That was the first time he had the opportunity to enter Tianyu City, in the west of the palace, he could see two huge high-rise buildings from afar, that was the Danzhen Palace and the Star Sacrifice Palace, and in the east, it was the Military Pavilion, the Mirror Pavilion, and the Ink Pavilion were juxtaposed, mighty and serious.

At that moment, he made a decision that was enough to change his life - staying, this is the place he wants, this is not a territory that rampant thieves can step into, nor is it a place where fierce beasts can attack, he wants to stay, only by staying can he change his fate!

But his fate was completely ruined by this man who came back from Kunlun Mountain, and in the end, he still lost to his family background.

"Pavilion Master, offended. His gaze precipitated little by little, and the moment the long sword was shot, he saw a vigorous figure swept in and gently pressed him.

It was a white-haired old man, dressed in a blue and white navy uniform, carrying a tall sword box, he pushed Mu Xizhao away with one hand, glared at Gao Jingping who was stunned viciously, and scolded: "If you enter the city, you will make trouble, get out, don't come in until you have time!"

"Marshal Baili......" Gao Jingping suddenly lost his confidence, in fact, according to the military level, whether it is Bailifeng or Xiao Qianye, they are all at the same level as his uncle Gao Chengchuan, but he has always been unaccustomed to Xiao Qianye's youth, so he dares to be so offended.

Baili Feng then glanced at Xiao Qianye, and his hand was already pressed on the sword spirit.

"You want to do it too, put it away!" he split his head and gave another lecture, "Hmph, you can't find it everywhere, such a big thing happened under the blue sea, you still have time to do it with a guard here?"

"Father-in-law, I didn't mean to ......" Xiao Qianye took back the sword spirit knowingly, and before he could finish speaking, Baili Feng knocked on the door of his head, "You come with me." ”

"Marshal, then we ......" Gao Jingping hurriedly followed, Bailifeng's face was ugly, and he said angrily, "You go back and wait, don't wander around the city if it's okay." ”

"Yes, yes, yes. Gao Jingping endured his breath, hurriedly dragged Mu Xizhao, and whispered, "Why are you stunned!

Mu Xizhao looked at Xiao Qianye unwillingly, he called the admiral father-in-law! Not only does he have a noble bloodline, he can not only get the favor of the crown prince, but even call the marshal of the navy Bailifeng as his father-in-law?

Is it true that the gap in origin is irreparable?

Baili Feng obviously didn't notice this person, he walked towards the Navy Headquarters with Xiao Qianye in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh as he walked.

"Father-in-law, I really had an accident, and I didn't mean not to see you. ”

"I know. Baili Feng was not surprised at all, "I sent someone to look for you on the day I came back, they said that you went out early in the morning without saying anything, and finally came back early this morning and left again, I know that you are busy and not embarrassed that you come to see me in person, but there are some things that you can score clearly!"

"Father-in-law, referring to the Sea Devil Cang Shark imprisoned at the end of the sky?" Xiao Qianye hurriedly lowered his voice.

"I went down to check, the chains that locked the sea devil are about to be broken, at most one day, the cangshi will definitely escape the seal!"

"What about the support of the Star Sacrifice Palace?"

"What can they do?" Baili Feng didn't trust the group of rotten people in the imperial capital at all, "The Bailing Assembly in the mountain has just dispersed, and it will be a mirage again, and now there are almost 200,000 people in the North Shore City alone, if this is caused by the blue sea tsunami caused by the cangyu, I'm afraid you and I will be buried together!"

Xiao Qianye obviously knew the seriousness of the matter, he estimated the number of Blue Bird Legions currently stationed in the city in his heart, and said, "Father-in-law, I will now let Ye Zhuofan take the Blue Bird Legion to evacuate the residents in the city, and evacuate the people from North Shore City to the surrounding counties!"

"No, if Cang Shark runs away, the entire feather will be finished, and it will be useless to withdraw a North Shore City. Baili Feng immediately denied his words and scolded, "Cang Shark's seal has been sealed for thousands of years, and there must be something wrong with it being suddenly destroyed, and I don't know what the group of dogs in the Star Sacrifice Palace have done to steal chickens and dogs and not see people!"

Xiao Qianye knew the inside story, but he was silent and didn't say anything, with his father-in-law's personality, if he knew that the Cang Shark seal was lifted by Emperor Tianquan himself, I'm afraid he would have to quit immediately, right?

"Hey, I remember that you learned a kind of swordsmanship in Kunlun Mountain, is it useful for the Sea Devil?" Baili Feng suddenly paused, staring at him directly, "What is it called'Feng Ten Sword Technique', wasn't that big priest of the White Sect nailed into the ice by your sword, and he hasn't released it until now?"

"The Ten Sealing Sword Technique is indeed a sword technique similar to the Sealing Technique, but it ...... to the Sea Devil" Xiao Qianye frowned and pondered, the Sea Demon is four hundred meters long, which is already beyond the scope of the sword qi of the Ten Sealing Sword Technique, Kunlun's sword formation may be able to give it a try, after all, the original purpose of the sword formation was to deal with demonic beasts.

"Sure enough, it doesn't work?" Baili Feng shook his hand, "After all, it's a monster that Feng Ji and the Seven Gods Guard barely sealed, what can I do, where can I find Feng Ji now?"

"Father-in-law, I won't go back with you. Xiao Qianye paused, took off the badge of the military pavilion on his shoulder and handed it to him, "Thank you father-in-law for helping me out of the siege just now, please go back first, this is my token, please hand it over to Zhengfan on his behalf and let him evacuate the residents of the city, I will find a way to deal with the sea devil." ”

"What can you do? You can't even swim!" Baili Feng took it in disbelief.

"I'm going to the mirage and find the culprit who broke the seal. ”

"Huh?" Baili Feng looked up, but saw that Xiao Qianye had already turned around and walked away.

The old man's thoughts were clearly extinguished, as if he saw the distant past from his back - it was a day many years ago, the Navy Headquarters welcomed a rare guest, Xiao Lingyun, the master of the Imperial Capital Military Pavilion, and his second son Xiao Qianye came to visit.

He unceremoniously stuffed his son to the commander-in-chief of the navy, Bailifeng: "He said that my ability is not enough, and he is not willing to learn swords from me, I think about it or decided to put him with you, you should not accept it politely." ”

Baili Feng put down the wine glass in his hand and glanced at the child who was forced in front of him by Xiao Lingyun - he still looked very small and not tall, but his immature face had an extremely serious expression.

The thing that made him laugh the most was that this kid was actually wearing the uniform of the military pavilion, and wearing a military uniform at this age must have been a bad idea that his old man came up with, right?

He suddenly became interested, pinched his face and pulled it up, and teased: "Don't put on this terrible face, child, come, laugh!"

At that moment, this kid actually grabbed the hilt of the sword without hesitation, and there was a flash of murderous aura in his eyes!

"Ahem...... It's exactly like you. Baili Feng hurriedly withdrew his hand in embarrassment, "If you stuff him into me, I will only throw him to the sea." ”

"Whatever you want, if you want to beat or scold, it depends on your mood. Xiao Lingyun took the opportunity to speak, and suddenly his tone was serious, "This little ghost is a rare genius, he is only seven years old this year, and his swordsmanship is no longer under me, I am a little worried......"

The tone of the two of them invariably lightened, and they turned their eyes to this child again, he and Xiao Lingyun are friends of life and death, the other party once burst out with unprecedented terrifying power when he was on the verge of despair, and even at that moment, his eyes turned into a rare ice blue!

That's not the power that humans should have.

Thinking of this, Baili Feng finally nodded: "Okay, you put him here with me first, and I'll take him to the sea and throw him for a few months, speaking of which, why don't you throw that eldest son over with you?"

Referring to the eldest son, Xiao Lingyun looked worried, "I really wanted to stuff the two brothers into the navy, but he refused to come, and now I can't see anyone else all day long, I once saw him use magic in the backyard to create an illusion similar to the sea of flowers in the Star Palace, and even his hands have turned into the claws of beasts, the more he is like this, the more worried I am, Marshal, in fact, I am far more worried about him than about this little ghost!"

At this point, Xiao Lingyun also shook his head again and again, not knowing what to do.

Xiao Lingyun didn't say anything more that day, after he stuffed Xiao Qianye to himself, he went back to the imperial capital the next day, this child didn't cry, only when he saw the Thunder Emperor Sword in his sword box did he show the curiosity that a child should have, and his eyes lit up several times.

The Thunder Emperor Sword is one of the "Four Emperor Swords" created by the best sword casting workshop of Emperor Ming Jia three hundred years ago, with a pure purple sword body, dark patterns of golden light and thunder and lightning, and his small hands stopped above the Thunder Emperor Sword, even if he wanted to touch it, he still politely turned his head to look at the hundred miles of wind.

The admiral couldn't stand up with a smile at that time, this dead child, obviously looking like he wanted it a lot, still refused to speak, it was exactly the same as his old man.

"You, you can't take it. Finally stopped laughing, Baili Feng patted his head hard, "It's much heavier than you, you can get it when you grow up." ”

When he said this, he was serious, because the child's eyes were full of mad love for this weapon, and after hearing his words, although he withdrew his hand with a little disappointment, he was not prepared to really give it up in his bones.

The marshal of the navy looked at the child whom his best friend had shoehorned into his hands, and suddenly had an idea - he was old, and it was time to raise a suitable successor.

At that time, he firmly believed that this would be a rare talent, and if he could stay in the navy all the time, he would definitely be able to take over the position of marshal in the future!

Although he was thinking like this, there was no indication in his mouth, but the development of things was far beyond expectations, during a mission to the sea, a sword fairy from the Central Plains stepped on the sword spirit and flew past their fleet, the sword fairy seemed to be chasing a monster in the sea, the sword spirit was close to the water, and the fingertips condensed into a sword and quickly slashed down!

Before he could take another look, the man had disappeared from view as if it had never appeared.

He never thought that it was that brief encounter, but it completely changed the child next to him, that day on the deck, Xiao Qianye's eyes stayed on the place where the sword immortal disappeared for a long time, and suddenly asked, "What was that just now?"

"Huh?" Baili Feng came back to his senses and said casually, "I'm afraid it's the sword immortal of Kunlun in the Central Plains." ”

"Central Plains?" he looked confused, showing a curious look, and Baili Feng was also interested for a while, "If our ships cross the Biluo Sea, they will enter the South China Sea of the Central Plains, and then go all the way up to the Central Plains, as for Kunlun...... I don't know where it is, it is said to be a fairy mountain, very high, ordinary people can't go up when they arrive, the one just now is a sword fairy, you can fly up directly by stepping on the sword!"

"Fly?"

"Our bluebird can also fly, but it's not that fast, of course, it's not as high as others, and it takes a lot of time and energy to raise bluebirds, if you want to be a sword spirit, at least you don't need to feed it, right?"

He gritted his teeth at the end of the sea, a seven-year-old child, silently planning his future in his heart.

A year later, he suddenly said goodbye to the navy, went home to resign, and then went to the Central Plains alone.

It's been a long ten years, and in the ten years since he left Feiyuan, this continent has undergone earth-shattering changes, and the Tianzheng Mansion has also been devastated.

Later, he also came to visit him, and he no longer showed envy to his Thunder Emperor Sword, because he already had his own sword spirit - Likong.

The handsome young man in military uniform is not as immature as a teenager, but his eyes are not as clear as they were back then, it is a kind of profundity that cannot be seen to the end, with both the coldness and indifference of cultivating real people, and the ruthlessness of high-ranking officials in the imperial capital.

"Hey...... One by one, ...... "Baili Feng couldn't help sighing, these people, one by one, don't know what they're thinking, that's something that he can't understand even after being on the battlefield."

Sure enough, he's still old, this Feiyuan is really not suitable for an old man like him.
