In the early morning of the second day, Xiao Fan woke up and looked at Lu Qingya in his arms, but saw that she was looking at him silently.

"Sister Qingya, have you woken up a long time ago?"

"Hmm. ”

Lu Qingya nodded, then got up and sat up, and carefully dressed Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan liked this feeling very much, and his heart seemed to turn into a ball of water at this time.

"Pack up your things, and then I'll go and say goodbye to Master and Sister and my brothers, and you go back to Cihang Peak to say goodbye to Uncle Cihang, and at the same time go and pack some things. ”

"Well, you go quickly, I'll pack up and go back to Cihang Peak. ”

Lu Qingya said with a light smile, cleaned up the things in the house, and then erected and combed her hair and returned to Cihang Peak.

Cihang Zhenren didn't agree when she first heard that Lu Qingya was going to go to the Dragon Teng Empire with Xiao Fan, but in fact, she had long expected that Lu Qingya would do this. She was not allowed to go with her because it was too dangerous to go to the Dragon Empire and go to the battlefield.

"Master, whether you promise or not, Qingya must go, unless Master, you kill Qingya!"

"You!"

Cihang Zhenren was so angry that his chest continued to rise and fall, he took a deep breath and said: "If I don't agree, can you go, your wings haven't grown hard in front of me!" However, if you really want to go, ask Xiao Fan to come to me later, I have something to find him, if he satisfies me, I will promise you to go with him." ”

"Master, I don't know what the matter is?"

Lu Qingya asked, worried that Cihang Zhenren would be angry with Xiao Fan and embarrass him when the time comes.

"I won't embarrass him, don't you worry, why don't you go quickly?"

"Yes. ”

Lu Qingya left Cihang Peak, and then found Xiao Fan outside Tian Buwei's compound and told him about Cihang Zhenren wanting to see him.

Xiao Fan was very surprised, he didn't expect Cihang Zhenren to see him, but he knew that the Dao was mostly related to Lu Qingya.

"Sister Qingya, you go back to the back mountain and wait for me. ”

"Sister is going with you. ”

Lu Qingya shook her head, worried that Xiao Fan would be angry in front of Cihang Zhenren.

"No need, go back and wait for me, it's okay. ”

Xiao Fan pushed her in the direction of the back mountain, and Lu Qingya had to nod her head and watch Xiao Fan leave.

On Cihang Peak, Xiao Fan saw Cihang Zhenren.

"Uncle Cihang, I don't know what happened to you looking for a disciple?"

Cihang Zhenren turned to look at Xiao Fan, looking up and down, and that look made Xiao Fan feel hairy.

"Uncle Shi, it's not the first time you've seen a disciple, why do you look at a disciple like this?"

Xiao Fan spoke, but he really couldn't stand the gaze of Cihang Zhenren.

"Gangyang connotation, domineering and introverted, perfect figure, delicate appearance, mysterious temperament, and good temperament, is it no wonder that Qingya girl is so infatuated with you. ”

“”

Xiao Fan was speechless, Cihang Zhenren looked at himself for a long time, and then said such a sentence.

"Uh...... Uncle Cihang, you didn't call your disciple here to talk about this, did you?"

Cihang Zhenren glanced at Xiao Fan, and asked instead of answering: "Xiao Fan, let me ask you, what is the position of Qingya in your heart?"

"Sister Qingya's position in my heart is irreplaceable, and the disciple doesn't know how to express it. ”

Xiao Fan said truthfully, wondering in his heart, what was the matter with Cihang Zhenren looking for him today.

"This time Qingya is going to go to the Dragon Teng Empire with you, do you know that there is a great danger for her to go?"

"The disciple knows the way. ”

Xiao Fan nodded.

"Since you know the truth, why don't you dissuade her and let her go with you?"

"Uncle Cihang, I know Sister Qingya as well as she understands me. The hearts of the two of us are glued together. Where I am, she is. I can't stop her from being with me, just as I can't stop me from going anywhere. ”

Cihang Zhenren was silent when he heard this, and only said after a while: "Yes, we can't stop her, we can't stop her." There's one thing you have to promise me, if you can't do it, even if you lock her up, I won't let her go to the Dragon Empire with you!"

Xiao Fan was taken aback, he could hear that Cihang Zhenren was not talking, but really doing that, and said at the moment: "If there is anything that needs to be done by the disciple, Uncle Cihang just said it." ”

"Very good!" Cihang Zhenren nodded slightly, and then said: "You want you to promise me, after Qingya and you go to the Longteng Empire, you must let her stay in your General's Mansion, and you can't let her go with you to fight, no matter what method you use, as long as you can prevent Qingya from going to the battlefield, I will promise to let her go with you." ”

"Of course, the disciple will never let Sister Qingya go to the battlefield with me to fight, Uncle Cihang, please rest assured. ”

"Well, since you have promised me, I will agree to let her go with you. If something happens to Qingya, I'll ask you!"

"Uncle Cihang, rest assured, as long as the disciple is still alive, Sister Qingya will be able to live well!"

"Well, there you go. It's not too early to go. ”

"Uncle Cihang, the disciple has retired. ”

Xiao Fan clasped his fists and saluted, and then quickly left Cihang Peak.

After returning to Wuwei Peak, Lu Qingya asked Master Xiao Fan what he was asking him to do. Xiao Fan didn't tell the truth, just said that Cihang Zhenren wanted to take good care of her by himself.

Lu Qingya was skeptical, but she didn't ask too much, and soon left the sect with Xiao Fan.

On the way to the imperial capital of the Longteng Empire, Xiao Fan took out a letter and looked at it, this was a handwritten letter from Zixia Zhenren, asking him to hand it over to Zhao Songhui, the emperor of the Longteng Empire.

This letter is not unsealed, its content is obviously not afraid of being seen by Xiao Fan, and what is written in it is just polite words and recommended words for Xiao Fan.

Looking at the contents inside, Xiao Fan frowned slightly, and a touch of coldness appeared on his face. In the letter, Ziyang praised Xiao Fan's ability very much, saying that he was extremely brave and that it was difficult to find opponents in the world, that he had a good study of the art of war, and that he could strategize and so on.

Such a recommendation is clearly to let Zhao Songhui, the emperor of the Longteng Empire, ask Xiao Fan to immediately go to the front line to lead the troops to fight, and not give Xiao Fan the opportunity to learn how to arrange troops.

"This Ziyang real person is really sinister with sinister intentions!Xiao Fan, after meeting the emperor in the imperial capital, how are you going to deal with it?"

"We'll talk about that then. Although Ziyang is an old man, he lives in the cultivation world all the year round, and he doesn't know much about the outside world, especially in places like the imperial court. I'm a newcomer, and I'm so young, Zhao Songhui won't fully believe what Ziyang said, and those ministers in the court will also oppose it if they know about it, so I won't go to the battlefield soon, don't worry. ”

"But in this way, if you can't get the military power, then there is no way to go to the battlefield and retreat from the enemy, if the two years are over, then what should you do then?"

"Don't worry, let's go to the empire first to have a look and understand the situation in the DPRK and China before making plans. Now we don't understand anything, and the countermeasures we think of may not be useful. ”

"Well, that's all there is to it. I have long heard from my master that the relationship in the imperial court is complicated, people's hearts are unpredictable, and everyone is good at calculation, and I really want to see it. ”

Lu Qingya said that a person like her is extremely intelligent, but the living environment is different, and there is no need to calculate anything. But it's not so easy for others to calculate her.

In the afternoon, Xiao Fan and Lu Qingya saw the first city of the Longteng Empire. Since their destination was the imperial capital, the city was only a thousand miles away from the imperial capital, and it was not directly affected by the war, but commerce was greatly affected.

The city is quite prosperous, and the streets are full of traffic, and the vendors are selling their own goods.

Xiao Fan and Lu Qingya passed by here, there were many people in the city, and it was very lively, but they all felt an unstable atmosphere. People's hearts were worried, because the people of the empire didn't know when the Great Yan Iron Cavalry and the army of the Red Wind Empire would drive all the way in, and they didn't know how long the Lu Dao Empire could hold on.

Xiao Fan and Lu Qingya walked around the city and left through the city gate on the other side.

"Now the empire is under attack, and the north and south are under attack. In an empire, there should be many men to join the army in this situation, but all we feel is uneasiness and panic, no blood, no one's blood is boiling. ”

Xiao Fan said softly, with a sigh.

"Yes, because the court is mediocre and incompetent, and the traitors are in power, it has already chilled the hearts of the people, otherwise the empire would not have fought so many defeats. ”

"Let's go, we should be able to rush to the imperial capital city when it gets dark, and we will enter the palace early tomorrow morning to see what kind of ministers Zhao Songhui, the emperor and the court, are like. ”

Xiao Fan smiled coldly, and some things from two years ago came to mind. The conversation between the general of the Great Yan Empire and Wang Wangjiao, the deputy general of Jingzhou City, echoed in his mind again.

"Before I officially lead the army to the battle, I should first find out which people in the court are collaborating with the enemy and treason, and only when we know the identities of those people can we be on guard against in the future. Otherwise, once we go to the battlefield, we are afraid that our military secrets will be leaked out, and many soldiers will die innocent and tragic deaths. ”

"Xiao Fan, you said that there are ministers in the court who have fornication with other empires?"

Lu Qingya was very surprised, this matter was not trivial. If this is the case, you can think of why so many military talents in the Heavenly King's Mansion will be defeated and hate the battlefield. Just imagine, when they go to the battlefield, the enemy army has completely grasped their movements, equipment, and combat effectiveness, etc., how can such a battle be fought?

"Yes. ”

Xiao Fan nodded, and immediately told Lu Qingya what he had deduced from hearing those words.

At dusk, Xiao Fan and Lu Qingya finally came to the imperial capital. I had only seen the imperial capital before, but at that time I only saw it from a distance, but now I came to a place more than ten miles outside the imperial capital, standing on a small mountain peak and looking at it, the majesty and enormity of this imperial capital shocked Xiao Fandu.

The imperial capital city, the city gate is five zhang high, three zhang wide, and the black lacquer is hung on it, just like metal casting. The city wall is wide and thick, up to a large size, nearly ten zhang high, extending to two weeks and up to more than 100 miles.

The city is already brightly lit, lively and noisy, and the tall buildings are magnificent. In particular, the Imperial Palace, the deepest part of the city, covers an extremely wide area, with a radius of ten miles. Those buildings are majestic and imposing.
