Chapter XVIII: Before the War

The people below looked excited, as if he was not a pioneer and he was not human.

"Enough!" Yu Zhenxing said angrily.

"Since you don't want to be the first to go, let's draw lots, and that's it!"

Everyone was helpless, but no one said anything more.

After some draws, the final result was the Wanyue Palace.

Zhou Ting, the palace master of the Wanyue Palace, is not good, he is a pioneer if he takes the lead, and he is cannon fodder to put it bluntly, anyway, there are few birds who come out and have a good end.

No matter how reluctant Zhou Ting is, he can do it. He immediately returned to the palace and gathered his henchmen to discuss.

......

It is raining lightly in Jincheng today, and the rain has been falling for five consecutive days, but the black clouds in the sky have never faded.

Looking at the hurried appearance of the people around him, Lin Xiuran said: "The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings!"

"These people are looking for a way out for themselves. The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook. As soon as the Jianghu Alliance falls, we so-called guest secretaries will be useless, and I am afraid that we will also be strangled by the imperial court at that time. ”

"Sister, then what do you mean by the back road?"

"Some of them joined the subordinates of the imperial court officials, some joined the army, and some exchanged their huge military exploits for official positions, but the number of these official positions was very small and the grade was not high. ”

"How do you know that?"

"I told you to go out more, but I just didn't listen to my sister. Of course, I asked people about this. Don't stay at home all the time, you'll miss a lot of things. Lin Zixian said as she tapped Lin Xiuran's forehead with her fingers.

"Oh, I know......" Lin Xiuran didn't dare to fight back, bowed his head and obediently listened to the training.

"Sister, what is the thing in your hand?" Lin Xiuran pointed to the cloth bag in Lin Zixian's hand.

Lin Zixian opened the cloth bag, "This is hemostasis, this is the antidote pill, this is Lei Zhenzi, this is the ......" Lin Zixian introduced as a few treasures.

[Hemostatic powder: red grade medium, it can be applied to the wound to stop bleeding quickly, and the speed of hemostasis depends on the size of the wound and the amount of application. Can only be applied externally. 】

[Thunder Shocker: Red Medium Level, can inject a small amount of internal force, activate its internal structure to burn gunpowder, and explode after five seconds, causing 4 attribute points of endurance damage. 】

......

"This thunder shock is good, but why are there only two?"

"Do you think this is Chinese cabbage? I bought it in front of the Hall of Meritorious Achievements, there were so many people at that time that I almost couldn't buy it. ”

"I also heard that a few days ago, a court city near the Jianghu Alliance area was occupied in one day. Skirmishes have also taken place on the fringes of the other sides. The Jianghu Alliance is a little unable to sit still, and the general attack may be in the next few days. Lin Zixian speculated.

"Broad!"

There was a knock at the door.

Lin Xiuran went to open the door, and the person who came turned out to be a black-armored soldier.

The black-armored soldier glanced at Lin Xiuran and asked, "Are you Lin Xiuran himself?"

"That's right, what's the matter?" Lin Xiuran was a little puzzled, he didn't remember that he had dealt with the Black Armor Army.

"Here you go. The Black Armor Army took out something from the backpack behind him and handed it to Lin Xiuran, turned around to open the umbrella, and hurriedly left, looking at his bulging backpack, there should be a lot of similar work to be done.

Lin Zixian was sitting, picked up the teacup, took a sip of hot tea, the heat floated, covering her face with a layer of mist, looking quite mysterious.

"What just happened?"

"A black-armored soldier brought a bag of papers. Lin Xiuran raised the item in his hand and said.

"Open it and take a look. ”

"Okay. ”

The file bag was opened, and Lin Xiuran took out a stack of pale yellow paper from it. He singled out one of them to read, and it read like this:

"Lin Xiuran, Lin Zixian, the imperial court remembers that you are young, strong in martial arts, talented, and have made significant contributions in the process of fighting against the Jianghu Alliance.

If you join the royal family, you can obtain the official position of the seventh rank (the highest rank of the first rank and the lowest rank of the ninth rank), you can learn the supreme martial arts and martial arts of the royal family, and you can also get the protection of the royal family......"

Lin Xiuran didn't bother to look any further, it was nothing more than to look at their strength and potential, and take advantage of it.

The rest are all similar to this, but they are all from third-rank to first-rank officials, and some are legitimate and powerful forces recognized by the imperial court.

These can also be regarded as ultimatums, which determine the court's treatment of the two after the war.

"Don't agree with any of them, it's just a nice thing to say, but the actual situation will definitely be worse, and you will be involuntarily. Lin Zixian said calmly.

"Well, it's imperative to complete the main quest first. ”

"By the way, Ah Ran, I just took a look at the side quest, and not long after the mission of the Xuanji Gate was completed last time, the system actually counted the elimination of two small enemy strongholds. ”

"It's not that exaggerated, right? We just killed the high-ranking people, and most of them were dealt with by the military. ”

The system explained that the completion of that task had a great impact on the evolution of the world, and was the turning point for the imperial court to turn from a disadvantage to an advantage. ”

"There is still such an operation. But it's good that this side quest is up to the bare standard. It's just that we haven't had a chance to explore the world properly and have missed a lot of side quests. ”

"I have no choice but to complete the main quest as soon as possible. Not sure how many rings it will have. Lin Zixian pointed her chin with her index finger in thought.

"I think the second ring can be completed in the decisive battle, and the third ring may be closely related to our current choice. For example, if we join a certain imperial power, the third ring may ask us to help that force do something. ”

"For example, if none of us joins, then we will become an important target for the imperial court to eradicate dissidents. ”

"That makes a lot of sense. ”

......

In the council hall of the Wanyue Palace, Zhou Ting concluded: "In short, as long as we open the gate of Wutian City on that day, the task will be completed." ”

"Yes!"

The black-clad men below replied in a low voice, and then quickly left the hall, apparently preparing.

......

In the imperial palace of the capital city of Shenfeng, a handsome young man sat on a dragon chair made of platinum, listening to the report of the minister below.

"Your Majesty, according to the spies' report, the Jianghu Alliance is already ready to move, and the Wanyue Palace seems to be preparing to attack Wutian City. A first-class minister arched his hand.

"Well, inform the city lords everywhere and let them strengthen their vigilance, especially at night, if they encounter suspicious people, they will be killed!" The handsome young man's tone was flat, but he was not angry.

"Is there anything else you want to start?" said the handsome young man, looking down at his ministers.

The minister was neither humble nor arrogant: "Back to Your Majesty, there is no more." ”

"Then retreat. ”

"Retreat!" said the old eunuch in front of the handsome young man.

"Stand down, I want to be quiet. The handsome young man said.

The old eunuch respectfully retreated.

The handsome young man, that is, Li Hao, looked straight ahead.

It's been eight years since I came to this world, and since I reached the peak of innate cultivation three years ago, I can't make an inch of progress in cultivation.

I have consulted a large number of ancient books, and those who have cultivated to the highest level here can only reach the innate peak.

I stumbled upon a way to use the vast fortune to break the shackles and break through the realm. I don't know if it's true.

When you rule the world, you will try him. ’

Li Hao's eyes were deep and firm, looking into the distance......

......

A day later.

"Sister, we have been assigned to Wutian City. We have to leave tomorrow. ”

"Nawu Tiancheng is an important city, surrounded by mountains on the left and right, with steep slopes in front and muddy roads, and barracks in the back, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”

"Forget it, let's go now, go and get acquainted with it in advance. Lin Xiuran thought for a while.

"Yes. ”

Wutian City is more than 100 kilometers away from Jinjin City, in the area where the two sides are in the transition zone, and is an important city for the defense of the Jianghu Alliance.

After riding horses for more than two hours, the two finally arrived at Wutian City at noon.

The city is much more prosperous than Jinjincheng, and even if the war is near, the residents here still live and work in peace and contentment, without the slightest worry or fear of war, and it is clear that they have great confidence in the city.

The military might be stronger than we thought. ’

That's fine, you don't have to worry about your teammates delaying it. ’

There are 19 congenital masters who have been transferred here, 12 in the early congenital stage, 6 in the middle congenital stage (including Erlin), and 1 in the late congenital stage.

This person who is a member of the royal family in the late congenital period is responsible for dispatching the transferred guest secretaries.
