Chapter 135: The People of the Four Great Families
Upon hearing the news, the whole nation of Nishizawa rejoiced, and men, women, and children came to the banks of the Tonghe River to greet the triumphant victory of the two heroes.
After returning to Xize, the two were canonized to the throne by the lord of Xize, respectively, Zhao Hongtu, the king of Dan, and Xiang Boming, the king of weapons.
Since then, the two have not returned to Zhongzhou, choosing to stay and help their country teach the way of Danqi, and it only took less than two hundred years for Xize's national strength to catch up with Dongze.
And at that moment, Dan King Zhao Hongtu faintly felt that he had some understanding, as a sixth-grade alchemist, he suddenly seemed to have touched the door to break through the seventh-grade alchemist.
As soon as this news came out, everyone in the country was excited, if Zhao Hongtu could break through the seven-grade alchemist, then they would completely surpass Dongze and become the overlord of the Southern Wilderness Terran forces in one fell swoop.
The lord of Nishizawa attaches great importance to this matter, and no matter what Zhao Hongtu asks, Nishizawa can meet him.
Zhao Hongtu only proposed to travel to the south at that time, and the lord readily agreed, and wanted to send a group of guards for him to protect him, but Zhao Hongtu refused.
In this way, Zhao Hongtu stepped on the teleportation array alone and didn't know where he went, and when he returned to Nishizawa, it was already five years later, and when he walked out of the teleportation array, he was followed by a woman.
"Woman, why has this palace never heard of this?" Duan Qianrou suddenly interjected when she heard this.
Pei Lao said with a smile: "This is one of the few troubles in King Dan's life, and only we old guys know about it, even your father doesn't know about it!"
Duan Qianrou's eyes lit up, as if she had discovered some shocking secret, and hurriedly said, "Grandpa Pei, who is this woman, and what is the relationship between her and King Zhao Dan?"
Pei Lao continued to recall the experience that Zhao Hongtu told them back then.
Zhao Hongtu suddenly had a feeling, but he couldn't catch that ray of spiritual light, he wanted to be alone in the outside world to scatter his mind, and he didn't know where to go, so he simply decided by the teleportation array, and teleported to where it was.
When he stepped out of the teleportation array, he found himself next to a pond surrounded by beautiful scenery and a town not far away.
Zhao Hongtu was very happy in his heart, feeling that this place did indeed look like a quiet place, and he was about to lift his feet to go to the town but saw a few scattered clothes under his feet.
There was no sign of sparing except for the pond next to him, and he thought that the clothes under his feet were just discarded by passers-by, which made him feel a little unhappy.
It is a little inappropriate for such a beautiful scenery to be tarnished by these discarded clothes.
Carrying a Dan fire in his hand instantly burned the clothes on the ground to ashes, but as soon as his front feet were burned, two hands suddenly came out of the pond next to him, and he was still holding a big fish in his hands, and then a head came out of the water.
Before the people in the pond had time to be happy about their achievements, they suddenly saw that the clothes on the shore had been burned, and they were immediately furious, and scolded Zhao Hongtu on the shore loudly: "Where did the shameless people dare to burn your aunt's clothes!" "Your Highness, Your Majesty is looking for you, please return to the palace quickly!"
A young man in battle armor walked straight to the front of the chariot, clenched his fists and knelt on one knee, and his loud voice interrupted Pei Lao's narration.
Duan Qianrou, who was hearing this, frowned slightly, feeling a little dissatisfied with this young leader, but when she heard that her father was looking for her, she didn't dare to delay, and said softly: "Leave a team of people and horses responsible for guarding this teleportation array, and report to the palace in time if there is any abnormality!"
"Subordinates obey!" the young commander replied aloud.
"Let's go back to the palace!"
With Duan Qianrou's order, the four spirit horses in front of the chariot seemed to understand, and there was no need for anyone to drive them, the four spirit horses turned their heads to the side in unison, and walked towards the gate of the imperial city in an orderly manner.
Seeing that Her Royal Highness the princess Feng Yuan had left, the crowd of onlookers gradually began to talk to each other, because they found that Princess Qianrou did not take away the spirit stones on the teleportation array, and thought that Her Royal Highness did not look down on these spirit stones.
Just when a few bold warriors were a little ready to move, a violent wind suddenly rolled up around the teleportation array, and after the strong wind passed, all the spirit stones on the teleportation array disappeared out of thin air, and there was not a single one left.
"Well, with Princess Qianrou's temperament, how could she let go of these spirit stones that were picked up for nothing!"
"No, Princess Qianrou, who can argue with an old woman on the street for just a penny, how can she be so generous!"
......
"Father, why are you in a hurry to find the child?"
In the main hall of the palace, a middle-aged man wearing a purple gold dragon robe put down the red pen in his hand, raised his head to look at Duan Qianrou, his eyes showed a trace of care, and said softly: "Qianrou, do you know what day it is?"
"It's just July 18th, Father, why are you asking this?" Duan Qianrou asked.
The middle-aged man sitting on the dragon chair got up, his majestic face looked a little melancholy, and asked as he stepped off the seat: "The Mid-Autumn Festival is less than a month away, and the big competition between Xize and Dongze is coming, can your alchemy skills improve?"
When Duan Qianrou heard her father ask about this, she couldn't help but feel a big head, she finally knew why her father was in such a hurry to call her over.
Since the Dongze Kingdom was defeated by the Dan King and the Instrument King 500 years ago, they would send the masters of the Dan Weapon and the Two Ways to Nishizawa every year to ask for advice.
At first, it was a competition between the predecessors, but with the death of the Dan King and the collection of the Instrument King, the two countries re-customized a rule.
The two countries decided that the competition between the two sides of the Dan and the instrument would no longer be conducted by the masters of the older generation, but that young people would be selected from their respective countries to participate in the competition.
In this way, it is a real competition, without King Li and King Qi, the rising star on Dongze's side is not weaker than Xize, and even surpasses it.
Since this rule was changed, Nishizawa has always lost more and won less, and it was not until recent years that there have been several princes with good refining skills in the royal family, and the situation has improved somewhat.
Although Xiang Boming, the king of weapons, no longer participates in the big competition, he can still teach his apprentices, and under the teaching of his seventh-grade refiner, the strongest prince has reached the level of a fourth-grade refiner, and he has stabilized the younger generation of Dongze in terms of refining.
The refining competition is worry-free, and the alchemy is a little miserable, without King Li, with the only fifth-grade alchemist in the Xize royal family, he can't support it at all.
Duan Qianrou's master who studied alchemy is also this fifth-grade alchemist, she has been studying with her master for almost eight years, and now she can only reach the level of a third-grade alchemist, and the probability of failure in refining the third-grade alchemy is quite high, and she is a third-grade alchemist.
There is no way, the fifth-grade alchemist has accepted a lot of apprentices, princes, princesses, and ordinary martial artists
Duan Qianrou is quite good among this group of apprentices, and even worse ones have not even reached the second-grade alchemist, not that their master teaches badly, but it is that these apprentices are often lazy and slippery, and if they don't hold the teaching stick on the side, the disciples will not open the furnace at all, so this fifth-grade alchemist is often so angry that he blows his beard and glares, but he is helpless.
These alchemy apprentices are all selected from Nishizawa, and they are reluctant to fight, if they are broken, the loss will be great, and they will not listen to the reprimand, coercion and temptation are all kinds of means to deal with ordinary apprentices, but a delicate princess like Duan Qianrou will not be able to bird him at all.
No matter how you train, if you are willing to obediently learn alchemy, I will lose!
In this way, for several years, the big competition between the two countries, the loss in alchemy can be described as very miserable, if it is not for the refining tools to earn some gas, the people of Xize may not be able to raise their heads.
As the lord of Xize, Duan Yi had heard about this from the ears of others, most of them turned a blind eye, and occasionally went to the Dan Hall to inspect and inspect, and gave a few words of encouragement, and never reproached the five-grade alchemist.
It was Duan Yi's encouragement that made this alchemy master grit his teeth and persevere, otherwise in the face of such a group of disciples, he would have stopped doing it a long time ago.
In the past, it was nothing to be a little lax, but at this time, there was less than a month left before Dabi, and it was a little too much to make progress.
Duan Qianrou stubbornly said: "Back to my father, the child has completely mastered the refining of the three-pin pill, and for this year's big competition, the child is confident that he will win a game!"
"Okay! With your words, my father will be relieved!" Duan Yi looked very happy, patted Duan Qianrou's shoulder lightly, and said with a smile: "Dongze has a letter from over there, the young people who participated in the big competition are already on their way, and they will arrive tomorrow night at the latest, you rest early, and go to meet your royal brothers tomorrow!"
Duan Qianrou's heart jumped, and she exclaimed, "Why are they coming tomorrow? Why do they come so early? Isn't there still a month to go?"
Duan Yi put his hands behind his back, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said softly: "I heard that the Lord of Dongze claimed that several of the young people they sent this time are extraordinary, and they came early to come to my Xize to play!"
"Extraordinary identity, is it from Zhongzhou College like Grandpa Xiang?" Duan Qianrou wondered.
Duan Yi shook his head and smiled: "It shouldn't be!" Although Dongze has sent many young people to Zhongzhou over the years, they have all been eliminated by the assessment of Zhongzhou College, just like our Xize!"
"As long as you're not a disciple of Zhongzhou Academy, there's nothing to worry about!" Duan Qianrou breathed a sigh of relief, and then muttered, "Did you come to Xize so early to eat Linghuang fish?"
......
"I lost so many spirit stones and didn't see any movement, it should be fine, right?" Qiu Shuiyao muttered softly.
Liu Fengchen and the others had been staying next to the teleportation array for almost an hour, throwing hundreds of spirit stones before, and there was no movement on the other side, so it seemed that there was no danger.
Liu Fengchen turned around and arched his hand to Zhao Gan, and said, "Trouble City Lord Zhao to send someone to help us keep an eye on it, if there is no abnormal situation within three days, we will leave in the teleportation array, if we can return to Zhongzhou as soon as possible, we will definitely try our best to help City Lord Zhao find the Three Divine Fruits!"
Zhao Qian couldn't help but be flattered when he heard that Liu Fengchen still remembered the matter of the Three Divine Fruits, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Young Master Liu doesn't have to break the bank for me......"
"Uncle Zhao, just listen to the surname Liu! It can be regarded as thank you for taking care of our Piaoxiang Building over the years. Qiu Shuiyao suddenly interjected.
Seeing that the two young people were willing to help him so much, Zhao Gan burst into tears with excitement, if it weren't for Liu Fengchen's age, he would have wanted to recognize Liu Fengchen as his eldest brother, it was really touching.
After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, the two of them galloped in the air with flying swords.
Qiu Shuiyao held Liu Fengchen's waist tightly and asked, "Where are we going next?"
Liu Fengchen replied: "Send you to Piaoxiang Building first, I have to go to Quyang City!"
"What are you doing in Quyang City?" Qiu Shuiyao said with some doubts.
"There are a few friends I know who once saved me, and I have to say goodbye to them before leaving, and give them some spirit stones by the way. ”
Liu Fengchen is naturally the two sisters Liu Siwen, since he broke into the Pisces River, he came to Bianzhou City by mistake, and he didn't even say hello to them, maybe the two of them thought they were dead.
Now that the teleportation array has been found, it is better to talk to them before leaving, so as not to worry in vain.
"Men and women?" Qiu Shuiyao said suddenly.
Liu Fengchen said speechlessly: "Don't think about it, they and I are just ordinary friends!"
Qiu Shuiyao exclaimed: "It's really a woman, that's not good, I have to go with you!"
"How many haven't you slept well? Your cultivation is too low, and it's easy to die suddenly if you don't sleep!"
Qiu Shuiyao's face turned cold, and her two hands twisted Liu Fengchen's waist, and said fiercely: "You dare to curse me to death?"
"Shhh
Seeing that his attitude was quite sincere, Qiu Shuiyao let him go and said in a deep voice: "Since you are worried that I will be tired, then we will not go tonight, and wait for a night of rest to see your friends tomorrow morning!"
"Listen to you!" Liu Fengchen didn't want her to be powerful anymore, so he had to compromise and beg for the whole way.
The two quickly returned to Piaoxiang Building, they didn't go through the front door, but landed directly in the backyard, because they saw Qiu Chongyuan and Cailing and others gathered in the backyard, sitting around a table and not knowing what they were discussing.
Before the flying sword landed, Cailing spotted them, and immediately got up and said, "Childe is back!"
Liu Fengchen controlled the flying sword and slowly landed in front of Cailing, Cailing asked with some excitement: "Childe saw the teleportation array, can it still be used?"
Liu Fengchen is not the only one who is in a hurry to go home, Liu Fengchen has only been away from home for two or three years, Cailing has been away from the demon clan for thirty years, and she has been thinking about returning to the demon clan every time in the past thirty years, and now she finally has hope, how can she not be excited.
Liu Fengchen said with a smile: "It can be used, let's set off in three days!"
Cailing was stunned for a moment, and said a little puzzled: "Why do you have to wait for three days before leaving?"
Liu Fengchen told her about the teleportation array in the City Lord's Mansion.
After hearing this, Cailing also nodded thoughtfully and said, "Since you don't know the end of the teleportation, you should be careful!"
"There is one more thing, although the four major families have promised not to cause trouble again, but I am still a little uneasy in my heart, tomorrow I just want to go to Quyang City, I have already left the external world, Cailing, you will stay in Piaoxiang Building, see how the people of the four major families react, if you dare to play tricks again, you will directly destroy it!"
Liu Fengchen's worry is also Qiu Chongyuan's worry, with Liu Fengchen sitting here, he doesn't dare to make trouble if he gives a hundred dares to the people of the four major families, but what about after Liu Fengchen leaves?
Qiu Chongyuan is only at the peak of his entry now, although there is a faint momentum of breakthrough, but he is definitely not able to defeat Sun Sheng in the transformation stage.
The method that Liu Fengchen thought of just tried the sincerity of the four major families, anyway, with Cailing in the transformation period, Sun Sheng couldn't help them.
