"The prince of the demon clan?"

"Yes, Lu Xingyi has studied in the Demon Clan's Wuliang Palace and Kunlun Immortal Palace, so naturally he wants to come to our Taifu to have a look, and Taifu advocates education without class, and the Divine Dynasty will not interfere. Yuan Youtao smiled bitterly.

"With your current cultivation, you are definitely not his opponent, no one knows how many people have been recruited for so many years, but there is a more reliable answer is-"

"One. ”

Speaking of this, both sighed at the same time.

Yuan Youtao wants to take the assessment of the back mountain of Taifu must be different from the five classics and six arts under the mountain, since he is a cultivator, then there is naturally an assessment method for a cultivator, it must depend on the cultivation, he is worried that Ning Shu's cultivation is not enough and he will lose the opportunity to enter the back mountain because he will lose the opportunity to enter the back mountain.

And Ning Shu didn't consider the factors of cultivation at all, his head was full of demon clan princes, he must have already known that the power of Taiyin he got was incomplete, in case he was found out after encountering it in Luocheng, how to explain it, he couldn't beat it, not to mention that the power of Taiyin had been absorbed by Fifty Strings, and it seemed impossible to return it.

"So, what are you going to do?"

"Take the test, you have to try it, if you can't pass the test, I'll go to Kunlun Mountain to learn the Tao. Ning Shu said seriously as if he was joking.

"Admiration and admiration, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, I prefer to go to the tiger mountains, this move is quite bold when I spent money. ”

"Each other, each other. ”

......

......

Early the next morning, the original plan of the Yuan family's ship to dock directly at the Los Angeles pier was forced to change.

When they reached a small town outside of Los Angeles, they were told that the waterway to Los Angeles was temporarily blocked.

"Hey, I forgot, this is the day when the marquis returns to the court to report on his work and be rewarded. ”

"Master Hou?"

Ning Shu knew that there were several large and small princes in the official system of the Divine Dynasty, the most famous of which was the marquis of the four major states with hereditary titles.

The one who can put on such a position and receive a reward from the emperor himself must be one of the four marquis, but I don't know which one?

Seeing that the waterway was no longer possible, fortunately, it was not very far from Los Angeles, Ning Shu stood on the boat and looked far away towards the north of the town, and could vaguely see a gray shadow, with the cultivation of his divine mind and the strengthened body, even if he did not cultivate to the Heavenly Eye, he could see through the void, and at this time, he couldn't see how far the gray shadow was.

What a boundless capital it should be.

It must be L.A.!

The princes who have made great achievements in the war returned to the dynasty, and Luocheng must have prepared a high-standard honor guard, not to mention how cumbersome the inventory procedures are, Luocheng will definitely be full of people to greet at that time, and Yuan Youtao is also afraid of trouble, not to mention that Luocheng is too big, if you enter from other city gates, you need to take a long detour.

So Yuan Youtao gave up the idea of waiting for the Yuan family's carriage, and the two jumped off the boat and prepared to walk along Dongcheng Avenue to Los Angeles.

......

......

Xie Ximeng was annoyed, very annoyed, very annoyed.

Because he did not go to Luyang to observe the moon, he was reprimanded by His Majesty by the lake for two hours, and because he complained a few words in a whisper, he was sent to Dongcheng as a temporary city defender.

His Majesty's dictation, his direct superior, Daoist Shangshu Ji Xunli, dared to have half an opinion, so Xie Ximeng moved from the comfortable Daoist compound to the east city wall of Los Angeles.

It stands to reason that in fact, the work on the east city wall is not tiring, and it is even very leisurely, after all, Los Angeles is the imperial capital, and it is difficult to make any mess when the country is peaceful today.

Those street gangsters in the city, short parents, and trivial matters of firewood, rice, oil, and salt naturally have large and small patrols in Chang'an Mansion and Wannian Mansion and Yushitai, how can it be the turn of a cultivator like him to take care of it personally.

Therefore, after he came to the east city wall, he asked the city defenders for a reclining chair, found a shady place, hummed a little song and shook the fan to close his eyes and recuperate.

L.A. is still a little hot in late spring.

But Xie Ximeng's beautiful life was ruthlessly broken after only three days of enjoyment.

Today, he had to be dressed neatly, with a sword at his waist, and stand at the head of the city with bright eyes like a general overlooking the imperial city, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

He, naturally, is not a general.

But today there are real generals who will pass through the East Side.

Because today is the day when Xu Fengmian, the Marquis of the Northern Wilderness, returned to Luodu and was debriefed.

According to the laws of the Divine Dynasty, the soldiers guarding the frontier should enter Los Angeles from the Dongcheng Avenue when returning to the Dynasty, and there are post stations attached to villages and towns along the Dongcheng Avenue, not only to ensure the timely transmission of war reports during the war, but also to prepare for the formation of the honor guard of the soldiers.

I don't know how many soldiers who have returned from the battlefield triumphantly on this Dongcheng Avenue, there are ruts left by chariots on the flat bluestone slabs, the Divine Dynasty has been established for a thousand years, this road has existed for a thousand years, it is said that the founder of the Emperor led the army to defeat the northern haters of the sky is from this into Los Angeles.

The same is true of today's Northern Wilderness Marquis.

......

......

In a small town ten miles away from the East City Gate, it is also a place where the land and water provinces began to be closed for today's major events.

There is a post station in this town, which has the same name as the town, called Banshi Station.

Ning Shu and Yuan Youtao stopped on both sides of the road, looking at the lively team in front of the town.

The palace envoys from Los Angeles, the military department, the Ministry of Rites, the representatives of the civil and military factions, and the palace honor guard dressed ceremoniously.

Of course, the largest number of people are the townspeople who have long since put down their idle work and closed their shops to buy and sell.

This is the highest courtesy given by the court and the people of the Divine Dynasty to this marquis who guards the northern frontier.

Crowds of people stood on both sides of the road, and even with so many people, Dongcheng Avenue did not feel crowded at all, and the wide avenue that could accommodate ten horse-drawn carriages passing side by side was quietly waiting for the protagonist of the day.

"Why haven't you come yet?"

Yuan Youtao stood in the crowd and stood on tiptoe to look at the end of the road.

"What are you looking at?" Ning Shu was staggered by the crowd, a little untenable.

"Xu Jiajun's flag. Yuan Youtao said.

"I heard that Marquis Xu fought an extremely beautiful battle in Chifeng Pass in late winter and early spring, and won more with less, annihilating a royal court of the Huns on the northern grassland. ”

For these instant battle news, Ning Shu naturally didn't know, firstly, it was a bit far away from Ping'an City, and secondly, he was still in Tushi Palace at that time, so naturally there was no way to know.

"Is there still a war now?" Ning Shu asked.

"Yes, there have always been Huns in the north, and the other four tribes on the grassland have also begun to be active, and it is rumored that it is because of the resurgence of the hating heaven clan that the five tribes dare to harass the border so unscrupulously, after all, tracing back to the roots, the ancestors of the five northern tribes are the hating heaven clan. ”

"But fortunately, the Divine Dynasty has never slackened in the army in recent years, and there is Xu Hou Ye in the north who led the Zhenbei Army to sit in the town in person, so it should be no hindrance. ”

"It's coming, it's coming!"

Yuan Youtao shouted after explaining, and at the same time, bursts of cheers and applause broke out in the crowd.

In front of Ning Shu stood Yuan Youtao, a fat man, so naturally he couldn't see the scene in front of him, but he heard the sound of the hooves of the war horse and the wheels of the chariot running over the ground, which could not be concealed by the cheers.

Uniform, serious and iron-blooded.

There is also a fierce aura of murder.

Just listening to this voice, you know that this is an iron-blooded army that has been on the battlefield for a long time and has been stained with countless blood.

When Marquis Xu's army appeared on Dongcheng Avenue Road, Ning Shu sighed what a heroic figure he was.

He was familiar with the laws of the Divine Dynasty and knew the specifications for generals to lead troops into the imperial city stipulated in the laws of the Gods, but listening to the density of the sound of horses' hooves, the number of people who returned to Beijing this time was far more than the required number.

He not only received courtesy from the court and the people, but also received the highest honor that His Majesty could give.

Three hundred soldiers followed him into Beijing.

With this move alone, Xu Fengmian and Xu Houye can represent the Divine Dynasty and become the first person in the military.

He also has this qualification, because compared to the other three states, the Northern Wilderness is undoubtedly a little more difficult.

"I heard that Marquis Xu wanted to abide by the divine law and only bring dozens of his relatives back to Beijing, but His Majesty asked him to bring back the three hundred soldiers who had made great achievements, and these three hundred soldiers would receive His Majesty's personal commendation, which is really a great move!" someone in the crowd sighed.

The team drove slowly, and the first thing that caught their eyes was two big flags, one was the phoenix flag of the God Dynasty, and the other was the Xu Zi flag of Xu Jiajun.

The two flags fluttered in the wind, and the traces of fireworks could be seen on it, and the phoenix spread its wings and wanted to fly, and the word Xu was supported below, standing tall.

It is a symbol of honor.

Ning Shu squeezed a gap from Yuan Youtao's side, and finally could see the scene on the road.

Marquis Xu was riding on a horse, wearing a light armor, his body was as tall as a mountain, and the coldness in his eyebrows and eyes softened after seeing the cheering crowds on both sides of the road, and the prince who had been guarding the frontier was much younger than Ning Shu imagined.

Xu Fengmian is indeed young compared to the other three marquis, he is the youngest prince of the Divine Dynasty, if nothing else, he should be the mainstay of the Divine Dynasty's army for the next thirty years.

There is such a saying in the army of the Northern Wilderness:

With the presence of the Xu family's army, the enemy will not be able to win the battle.

Being able to see such a mountain peak walking past him with his own eyes was the most glorious day for the people of the Divine Dynasty, and such a warm atmosphere also made Ning Shu feel a little enthusiastic.

When the team walked past Ning Shu and Yuan Youtao, a murderous aura came to their faces, which could not be hidden from the soldiers.

Yuan Youtao and the people around him sighed at the majesty of the Hou Ye, and Ning Shu also wanted to sigh.

But he couldn't.

This kind of murderous aura was familiar to him, and it reminded him of many memories.

Rainy mornings, quiet villages, cold clusters of arrows, blood in the chest.

Memories poured in.

In the end, he fixed his eyes on the carriage behind Marquis Xu Fengmian.

A horse-drawn carriage with an all-black body.
