Daqin: The beginning of the collapse of the sky, sweeping across the Western Regions

With this key, it means that he can enter and exit Ying Tian’s wine cellar freely. He doesn’t have to sneak around every time and steal wine like a thief. This would simply damage his image as a land immortal.

"Okay, okay! Then I, the old man, will thank the king!"

After taking the key, Jian Jiuhuang showed a bright smile on his face.

"Then I'll give you the key now. Don't come to me for it again when the time comes!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty! After I have this key, I will never come to bother you again. I will definitely keep this key well and will not let him lose it."

After saying this, Jian Jiuhuang put the key into his arms as if it were a treasure.

Seeing him like that, Ying Tian shook his head helplessly, then turned and left the library, while Cao Zhengchun followed closely behind him.

Looking at Ying Tian's departing back, Jian Jiuhuang's originally cloudy eyes immediately became clear, and a powerful aura burst out from the man who originally looked drunk.

"I thought I could hide in this library, sweep the floor casually on weekdays, drink a little wine, eat some snacks, and live a leisurely retirement life."

"I didn't expect that I would be pulled out to work even at my age!"

When Jian Jiuhuang said this, he sighed and shook his head.

"Since the king has said so, I will go and stretch my old bones!"

Jian Jiuhuang drank the wine in the gourd and then staggered towards the back of the library.

There is a stable behind the library, which was built by Ying Tian specifically for Jian Jiuhuang's mount. It is enough to show how much Ying Tian values ​​and respects him.

The only thin and old yellow horse in the library was eating horse feed in the trough. After smelling the familiar breath of its owner, it immediately raised its head and looked towards the door.

"Old friend! The king has given me a new task. It looks like I have to trouble you again this time."

Jian Jiuhuang walked up to the old yellow horse, gently stroked the mane on its back, and then said.

After hearing Jian Jiuhuang's words, the horse snorted loudly and then neighed.

"It seems that you are also impatient, so let's get going."

Jian Jiuhuang climbed onto the horse, then rode the old royal horse slowly towards the outside of the royal capital.

At this time, Jian Jiuhuang passed by a woman wearing a conical hat and a veil on her face, and his brows frowned slightly.

This woman was none other than Yan Fei, who had just arrived at the outskirts of the royal capital.

[This woman is very strange! She exudes the aura of a great master of celestial phenomena. I wonder why she came to the king? ]

After thinking for a while, Jian Jiuhuang's brows relaxed again.

[Forget it! With your ability, a mere astronomical master shouldn't be taken seriously. Besides, I'm not the only one in the royal city!]

After a slight smile, Jian Jiuhuang took off the gourd from his waist and poured it into his mouth.

"Ah! It feels so good! If I were to leave the wine, I wouldn't know what to do."

Yan Fei, who had not yet walked far, smiled slightly after hearing Jian Jiuhuang's words.

[It seems that he is just a drunkard! Just now, I felt the same fluctuations from him as from Lord Donghuang, and I thought I met a land immortal! It seems that I was wrong!]

After squinting her eyes, Yan Fei pulled down the hat on her head and walked into the royal capital.

Of course, when Yan Fei walked into the royal capital, she did not see the bustling streets, but a royal capital that seemed dead and lifeless.

When seeing this scene, Yan Fei's beautiful eyebrows were tightly frowned.

"What's going on? The places we passed by along the way seemed very lively, and the faces of the people were filled with an obvious sense of happiness."

"As the capital of the kingdom, this place should be more prosperous than other places. But why is it that when I arrived here, it seemed so lifeless, and there was a hint of sadness and fear in the eyes of the people?"

Because Yan Yanfei didn't see the army leaving just now. Otherwise, if she had seen it, with her smart mind she would definitely be able to guess the reason.

But because she arrived too late, Yan Fei, who knew nothing, was very confused by this scene.

So in order to find out what was going on, Yan Fei came to a tea stall and sat down.

"Old man! Give me a cup of tea."

Yan Fei smiled and said to the old woman at the tea stall.

"Okay, girl, wait a moment, the tea will be here soon."

After hearing Yan Fei's words, the old woman smiled on her wrinkled face. Then she picked up a pot of tea from the table, placed a tea bowl in front of Yan Fei, and poured her a bowl of tea.

"Old man! I came from somewhere else. When I came here, I saw that other places were prosperous and lively. I thought the capital should be like this too, and should be more prosperous than other places. Why did it seem so dead when I came in?"

Because Yan Fei was the only one there, the old woman seemed quite free. She sat opposite Yan Fei and started chatting with her.

"So you came from out of town. No wonder you asked this question. It turns out the news hasn't reached you yet!"

"What's the news? Could you tell me something, old lady?"

[Such a huge capital city has become like this, it is indeed what happened here!]

Yan Fei's heart moved, and then she quickly asked the next question.

"Ah! The king sent out his troops today."

When the old lady heard Yan Fei's words, she sighed deeply and shook her head.

"Send troops? Could it be that someone is rebelling somewhere, so the king is sending troops to suppress them?"

"No! It was the Great Xia Kingdom that was planning to invade us, so the king sent out the army to resist them."

"Is our army weaker than Daxia's? Otherwise, why do you look so ugly, old lady?"

"That's not the case, little girl. Don't look at me as an old woman. I'm old now, but when I was young, I ran around everywhere and saw a lot of things!"

"I went to see the army when it set out today! Our army is so powerful that it can be said to be among the best in the world. It is definitely more than enough to deal with the army of Daxia."

When talking about this, a smile appeared on the old lady's face.

"If that's the case, why do you look so sad?"

Yan Fei, who was sitting opposite her, became even more confused. She felt that the more the old lady explained, the more confused she felt.

"Although our army is very powerful, it seems insignificant in the face of absolute strength. This time, Daxia not only sent countless celestial masters and troops, but also sent their military god Karimov."

"Karimov? Is this guy really that powerful? Why are you so scared after hearing his name?"

Yan Fei's eyes were filled with deep curiosity at this time.
