C993 Mighty
Chen Qingyang did not have the time to investigate the origin of the black pearl as he placed it inside the Sumeru Ring. Lili smiled and said, "I thought that two days of peace would soon pass, so I immediately helped Xiaolong forge the Dragon Mark Armor. "Now it seems that there isn't much time left."
Chen Qingyang forced a smile and said, "I'm afraid Lan Tingyu has already obtained the Dragon Mark Steel, and his strength is much stronger than me. Luckily, I still have you on my side. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know how to fight against him. " He paused and said, "Do you think Lan Tingyu will get in my way? He probably hates me too much."
Lili said, "I don't think so. Lan Tingyu is a smart guy. If the Emperor dares to obstruct your path, wouldn't he be afraid of the Emperor perceiving everything? The Emperor is not a fool. However, when you meet an enemy or are in danger, he will definitely not do his best to help you save you. "
Chen Qingyang said, "Lan Tingyu and I originally did not have any hatred between us, but unfortunately, a coincidence turned out to be like this. Do you think he and I still have a chance to get back together? "
Lili said: "What are you thinking, you sneaked an attack on him and stole his Dragon-patterned Steel Soul. Would this be an easy thing to do? Aren't you afraid that he would secretly make a move on you even if he talks back? In that case, you'll be more passive. "
Chen Qingyang sighed and said, "It was a huge mistake to join Lan Jianyi."
Lili said, "You can't put it that way. If you don't go with Lan Jianyi, how can you go out to sea? How can you turn your hostility into friendship with me?" How could I get my hands on Dragon-patterned Steel Soul and how could you get to know Master Lin Xianyang? If not, how could you be chosen by the Emperor and become General Shaowei? "
Chen Qingyang's eyes lit up and he said, "It seems like you're right."
After that, Chen Qingyang and Qiao Ning packed up their luggage and headed for the Ministry of War. As for everything regarding Shaowei Prefecture, he would leave it to the butler, Uncle Lin.
Linxi County could be found in all regions of the mountain range, and it was the fastest and most convenient way to travel from the Imperial City to the distant mountain.
Chen Qingyang, Qiao Ning and Lan Tingyu rode the Mighty through the water path towards the Linxi County.
After Emperor Tianlin ascended to the throne, in order to strengthen the transportation and change the economic situation of the whole country, he set up manpower and material resources to dig a large canal.
This large canal was not created by the Great Thousand World, but was instead created by Emperor Tianlin by altering its feng shui, Feng Shui trajectory, and so on.
Emperor Tianlin and Xuan Zhenghao were people of Great Thousand World, so they naturally did not approve of the Tianzhou plan. He also knew the Tianzhou plan, and this Grand Canal was a key point. The Tianzhou's plan was to carve out a large canal within the Tianzhou, build a great wall, and seize the Dragon Vein.
Xuan Zhenghao's Grand Canal was the exact opposite. Since the Great Thousand World Grand Canal was the Mother River, then Xuan Zhenghao's Grand Canal was a public river. In the future, if the True Gods wanted to replace the Great Thousand World, they would have to fill up Xuan Zhenghao's river and recreate his mother river.
Back then, Yang Guangjing had spent countless manpower and resources in the Grand Canal, causing the people to lose their lives. He had even dragged down the entire country's strength. Xuan Zhenghao, on the other hand, was different. He gave the labourers enough wages and food. In the Grand Canal, when they met the mountain, the labourers rested for a day. The next day, the mountain disappeared. It was in this case that the Grand Canal was cut.
The Grand Canal was not called the Grand Canal, but the Great Heavenly River!
After this Heavenly Fate River was carved, the citizens clapped their hands and cheered. They called this achievement in the modern world, and it was for the best in the world.
The Mighty was the imperial family's fleet. This Mighty was incomparably huge, and was a true gigantic ship with an iron head. There was a Divine Might Bullet on the ship, protected by the Heavenly Talisman Shooting Talisman Formation.
Chen Qingyang and Lan Tingyu had three thousand elites. These three thousand elites were trained by the military as the masters of the tiger and wolf division. They had a name, Saber Guards. Three thousand Saber Guards!
And amongst the three thousand blade guards, there were thirty mana experts, all within the Eighth Layer's cultivation level. The thirty mana experts and the rest of the blade guards lived together everyday, their flesh and blood fusing together to train the vast Knife Array!
This vast Knife Array was the power of three thousand blade guards, once used, it could instantly kill a ninth heaven expert.
This formation was personally trained by Xuan Zhenghao.
They hadn't sent out the three thousand Saber Guards this time, and it was obvious that the imperial government was determined to eliminate the rebellion.
Behind the Mighty s, there were still dozens of cargo ships, and the three thousand blade guards were all around the boat, guarding the Mighty s from the front and back.
The leader of the three thousand blade guards was called Bu Qianhong.
The cultivation level at the peak of Eighth Layer of Bu Qianhong, was around the age of fifty this year. However, he was spirited. He was a sixth rank official. In front of Chen Qingyang and Lan Tingyu, he was a subordinate. This time, Bu Qianhong led the Saber Guards to cooperate and listen to Lan Tingyu and Chen Qingyang.
Lan Tingyu also had two experts with him. These two experts were very low-key and were called Zong Zheng and Zong Ze. These two people were cultivation level from the Great Void Seventh Layer.
Zong Zheng and Zong Ze stood beside Lan Tingyu like invisible people, not saying a word.
As for who the person in charge was, the Emperor didn't say. Therefore, Bu Qianhong felt a headache this time. He did not understand why there were two people in charge of this operation. Besides, there was no one in charge amongst the two.
This was a taboo when it came to using troops.
In his heart, Bu Qianhong was not necessarily convinced by Lan Tingyu and Chen Qingyang. This was because he had safely made it to this step. However, he was only a sixth rank cultivator. However, Chen Qingyang and Lan Tingyu, the two young masters, did not have any military merits, but instead were in the fourth rank. Especially Chen Qingyang, he had never even heard of him.
However, although Bu Qianhong was unwilling, he didn't dare to show it. He was well aware that the Emperor was absolutely not an idiot. Since the Emperor had made such arrangements, then there must be a reason.
Chen Qingyang and Lan Tingyu met formally on board, but said nothing. Lan Tingyu gave Chen Qingyang a cold look, then turned and walked away. Chen Qingyang and Qiao Ning went elsewhere.
The ship still had the captain, whose name was Shi Klon. He arranged rooms for Chen Qingyang and Lan Tingyu.
Chen Qingyang's room was very luxurious.
It was six o'clock in the evening, and the sun was setting like blood.
The Mighty had already left the Imperial City for an hour. After leaving the Imperial City, the scenery on both sides of the river was wonderful.
Chen Qingyang opened the window and could see the view. He and Qiao Ning were holding glasses and drinking by the window.
"The emperor actually didn't arrange for the two of you to take the lead. It seems like this time's bandit extermination is secondary, the test you two are to test you two with is more important." Qiao Ning said.
Chen Qingyang naturally understood this logic. He said, "It's still too early to say anything now. We don't know anything about Linxi County at the moment, so we're just confused."
Qiao Ning said, "Mn, when the time comes, we can wait until Linxi County and then we can do whatever we want. The Emperor's intention this time was to provide relief, exterminate the Supreme Religion, and punish the corrupt officials. You and Lan Tingyu are in charge, so you have the right to play first. Therefore, you should discuss these tasks with Lan Tingyu. Everyone will be in charge of their own matters. If there are any problems, it'll be good for us to report it to the Emperor. "
Chen Qingyang replied, "Yes." He paused for a moment, and said: "The extermination of Supreme Religion should be the most difficult, do you think I should take over the hardest job, or should you push it to Lan Tingyu?"
Qiao Ning said, "The extermination of Supreme Religion is not necessarily the most difficult, but this punishment of corruption and disaster relief will probably be even more difficult. There were still people on top of the corrupt officials. If you touched some people after you came here, it meant you had done so for the benefit of others. It's hard to avoid the fact that they don't have any tricks up their sleeves. "
Chen Qingyang said, "I'm not afraid. I was just doing my job. I'm not involved in any interest net. This time, I just want to show my might and do whatever you want with him. "
Lili said, "That's fine too. It's not easy to do all these jobs anyway. After dinner, you can gather Lan Tingyu, Bu Qianhong, and some of your generals for a meeting and work together. Then, we can divide the work in front of everyone. That way, we won't have to play around and shirk our responsibilities. "
Chen Qingyang said, "Alright!"
Qiao Ning continued: "Also, you have to find the Heavenly Lake Pavilion and find them to clarify the situation regarding the Linxi County. If you know yourself and know your enemy, then you will be victorious. "
Chen Qingyang said, "I left too quickly, I really don't have time to ask."
Lili said, "The Heavenly Lake Pavilion is divided into divisions everywhere. We will need about half a month to go there. When we stop at the White Deer Plains, you and I will go ashore to look for the divisions of the Heavenly Lake Pavilion to gather information."
Chen Qingyang said, "Alright!"
Lili said, "Actually, you still have to pay attention to one thing."
Chen Qingyang said, "What problem?"
Lili said, "You're a smart person, so you should be able to figure it out."
Chen Qingyang said: "Are you saying that Supreme Religion could sneak attack us before we even reach the Linxi County?"
Qiao Ning said, "That's right. Moreover, there might be collusion between the Supreme Religion and some officials. All of this has to be noted. "
Chen Qingyang said, "Alright, I understand." Then he smiled and said, "Miss Qiao, you're a really good advisor."
Lili smiled sweetly and said, "I've lived for so many years, so I must have some experience!"
While the two of them were chatting, Maidservant came over and shouted, "General Chen, Miss Qiao, it's time for dinner. Do you want me to bring them to your room or to the dining room?"
Chen Qingyang went to open the door and at the same time asked Maidservant, "Where is the Lan Jiang army eating?"
Maidservant said, "In the dining room."2
Chen Qingyang said, "Alright, let's go to the dining hall too."
Then Chen Qingyang and Qiao Ning went to the dining room.
The dining hall wasn't big, it was just for the high ranking generals to eat. Lan Tingyu, Bu Qianhong, Zong Ze, and the Zong brothers also came. The other ordinary generals were also eating in the dining hall. Everyone was eating quietly at a long table.
Lan Tingyu sat on the seat of honor. There was another empty seat beside Lan Tingyu, and that seat belonged to Chen Qingyang.
Qiao Ningze sat down next to Chen Qingyang.
When they sat down, Bu Qianhong and the others all stood up to greet Chen Qingyang. Chen Qingyang quickly told everyone to sit down. He had a sweet smile on his face, but it was very warm.
