Doupo: Emperor Yan, please exercise restraint, you are really a simple brother.

Three more days had passed in the blink of an eye since Zhang Yuan completely annihilated the nine thieves in the Phantom Mist.

Qingyun Town is an important town located in the southwest of the Northeast Province and the northwest of the Eastern Province, and is adjacent to the Warcraft Mountains.

Although it is still just a town at the administrative level, it is already a city in terms of scale, even better than Wutan City built by the "pinnacle" Xiao family.

The reason why the city is not changed is because the Gama Empire has laws that require a city lord to sit in charge of the city. The greatest significance of the existence of this town is to garrison the elite army of the empire. It must be changed every three years, and the commander must also serve as the city lord. Authority and Responsibilities.

Half a month has passed since the handover between the Black Armored Guards and the Xiaolong Guards. All 10,000 elites have settled in and guarded various key locations. The top talker in Qingyun Town has now become the leader of the Black Armored Guards, Nine-Star Fighting King Qin Zhendong.

At this time, in the study room in the backyard of the Qingyun Town Commander's Mansion, a man was sitting at the desk, holding a book and reading. He suddenly asked: "Jing Yan, is my little teacher Zhang coming back soon?"

This man is about fifty years old. Unlike most soldiers, he is more similar to Zhang Yuan. He gives people a sense of elegance. At first glance, he looks like an ordinary middle-aged man, but if you look closely, you can feel that he is unfathomable.

He is Qin Zhendong!

The person he asked was a handsome, gentle-looking young man who looked roughly like Qin Zhendong. He was about in his early twenties.

"Father misses him?" Qin Jingyan heard the teasing in Qin Zhendong's words and smiled.

The teacher Xiao Zhang mentioned by Qin Zhendong is Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan broke through the ranks of Dou Shi at the age of fourteen and joined the Black Armored Guards on the heels of Mu Jia Mu Zhan. His talent was so dazzling that he would naturally receive special attention.

While carrying out a mission to suppress mountain bandits in the southern province of the empire, Zhang Yuan used the strength of a nine-star fighter to kill a three-star fighter head-on. Qin Zhendong decided to accept him as his disciple and train him as a direct lineage.

As a result, after he found Zhang Yuan and chatted secretly for several hours, he did not accept him as his disciple. Instead, he left with a disappointed expression.

So there were rumors in the army that Zhang Yuan had offended Qin Zhendong, and that he and Zhang Yuan were under the same captain, and the captain Meng Xu, who was friends with the Mu family, taunted him.

Zhang Yuan didn't say anything at the time, but he objected when Meng Xu proposed to be promoted to captain, believing that the latter was not strong enough to convince the public and had to fight in accordance with military rules.

In the end, Meng Xu, a six-star fighting master, was actually defeated by Zhang Yuan using the rules, which shocked many people's jaws. Qin Zhendong also gave Zhang Yuan a token that day, giving people the right to see him at any time.

As for the reason, in addition to being attracted by talents, it was also because he wanted to learn the art of war from Zhang Yuan. He had a very personal interest in this aspect. His feeling of disappointment that day was also because he saw Zhang Yuan's strategic suggestion, which was astonishing.

Later, Zhang Yuan often came to discuss with him, or simply gave him advice on the art of war, and he became his lifelong friend. He also jokingly called him "Teacher Xiao Zhang."

It was precisely because of his relationship that Zhang Yuan was able to take leave and return to Wutan City to visit his relatives on the day the Black Armored Guards entered Qingyun Town.

"I do miss him a little bit."

Qin Zhendong put down the book, with undisguised appreciation in his eyes, and nodded: "I want to hear his opinions on what the empire asked me to do secretly."

"You mean Yancheng, Mo?" Qin Jingyan's expression became serious.

"Yes." Qin Zhendong said seriously: "Yancheng is one of the large cities in our Jiama Empire. It can compete for the first place in the eastern provinces. It is the only way to the eastern provinces from within the empire. It has a very good strategic location. The empire is heavily guarded all year round."

"But now, the most powerful Mohist family in Yancheng monopolizes 60% of the city's industries. After removing some necessary taxes and a large amount of wealth through connections, it is still getting fatter and fatter, but it has not restrained itself. .”

"If it weren't for the fact that there are three other families in the eastern provinces that restrain him, as well as the existence of the Snake Tribe, the Mo family would even expand their strength to other cities, and this is all because he has the support of the Yunlan Sect behind him."

The words "Yunlanzong" made Qin Jingyan's heart feel heavy.

The Gama Empire has been in turmoil over the years. The emperor passed away without leaving any male heirs. One of the four great founders of the Douwang family is missing. The imperial guardian monster is said to be injured and hidden. The two princesses are still young. The royal family's control over the local area is getting worse and worse. .

If it weren't for the fact that the emperor of the Izumo Empire was in a very bad situation right now, with several factions in the court fighting among themselves, and the existence of a powerful gate in the Gama Empire, he might have already sent troops to invade.

However, the situation within the Jiama Empire is not good either. The problem lies with the Yunlan Sect. Although there are rumors that the previous leader of the Yunlan Sect, Yun Shan, has fallen, the current leader Yun Yun is not weak in strength and talent, and he also recruits disciples to win over Na. The most important thing for the Lan family is to win over the sixth-grade alchemist, Alchemy King Furukawa.

"Although Zhang Yuan understands the art of war, his strength is limited after all. Let alone the behemoth Yunlan Sect, it is difficult for him to have any good ideas against the Mo family." Qin Jingyan said.

He also admired Zhang Yuan's resourcefulness, but it was impossible to blindly believe him.

"But it doesn't matter if you ask." Qin Jingyan smiled again and said: "He said he would stay with the family for a maximum of five days, and it took a total of ten days to come and go. Calculated as fifteen days, today is the deadline. If you can't come back, you will have to wait. Under military law."

"It is said that he has to pass through the Huanwu Mountains when he returns to Wutan City. Dad, why don't you ask him if he has any way to deal with the nine thieves of Huanwu."

Hearing this, Qin Zhendong reached out and nodded his son, shaking his head and saying: "Your idea is more unrealistic than me asking him to come up with ideas to deal with the Mo family. The nine thieves of the Phantom Mist were not completely wiped out by Lao Xu himself. If Zhang Yuan has a way to destroy it, I will accept him as my teacher."

Qin Jingyan immediately said: "Then I will talk to Zhang Yuan when I have time. Maybe he will use his brain to accept a strong Dou Wang as his apprentice."

The father and son looked at each other and laughed in unison.

At this moment, a guard ran in and said excitedly: "Commander, there is a major military situation."

Qin's father and son's expressions dropped, and Qin Zhendong motioned to the visitor to elaborate.

"Commander, Zhang Yuan, captain of the left division of Xuanzi Camp, will lead his men to annihilate all nine Huanwu thieves and return to the city to resume his duties. Deputy Commander Wang asked me to inform you."

Qin Zhendong:?

Qin Jingyan:? ?

At the same time, there was a military camp outside the west gate of Qingyun Town.

There are four black armored guards named Tiandi, Xuanhuang and Huang, who guard the four gates of the southeast, northwest and northwest respectively.

The commander of Xuanzi Camp is named Qin Zhenming, who is Qin Zhendong's cousin and a nine-star fighting spirit.

At this time, he had just finished the battle and summoned his four captains and five deputy captains to the main camp to discuss how to eliminate an upcoming small beast tide.

But before he could speak, one of the five deputy captains clasped his fists and said, "Commander, if you want to be promoted to captain, please report to the commander."

Hearing this, some of the expressions of the people present did not change, some looked sarcastic, and a tall bald man even sneered: "Meng Xu, you didn't choose to be promoted when Zhang Yuan was away, did you?"

The bald man's name is Shi Jiu, a five-star fighting master who met Zhang Yuan while performing military duties. He has a fiery personality and likes people who do things cheerfully. Meng Xu and Meng Xu have always disliked each other.

Meng Xu's eyes suddenly turned gloomy, he released his own aura, and said coldly: "Shi Jiu, I was just accidentally kicked out of the circle at the beginning. I didn't really lose to Zhang Yuan, and I won't do it now."

Meng Xu's aura is very strong and has reached the seventh level of the Great Dou Master.

The eyes of several captains and deputy captains present changed slightly, and the smile on Shi Jiu's face froze.

Meng Xu felt proud and proud, and said to Qin Zhenming: "Master Commander, my subordinates should be qualified. I choose now just to pursue efficiency, not to fear anyone. If Master Commander feels that a trial is still needed, I am willing to work with Shi Jiuyi war."

Seven stars versus five stars, his wind attribute fighting spirit can also restrain Shi Jiu's fire attribute fighting spirit, and he can definitely beat him.

Shi Jiu opened his mouth and wanted to curse.

But at this moment, a voice sounded outside the camp: "Traditional leadership order."

Qin Zhenming's eyes were solemn, and he led everyone outside the camp. He cupped his hands and said, "I obey my orders."

The messenger put away the token and said with a smile: "Commander Qin, the commander-in-chief invites you to go to the commander-in-chief to discuss matters."

"It's incredible. Zhang Yuan, the captain of your command, led the team to destroy the nine thieves of the Phantom Mist."

Everyone:? ? ?
