Chapter 412 The Emperor's Palace Birthday Banquet, Commanding the Northern Territory

The night gradually deepened.

The Daxia Palace is brightly lit.

Inside the imperial palace, there was unprecedented excitement.

The dignitaries of the dynasty, the royal relatives of the clan, the important figures of the clan's influence, and the representatives of various forces in the present world gather here to have a good time singing and drinking.

The appearance is very beautiful.

However, only God knows how many intrigues exist in the imperial palace at this moment.

Everyone present is well aware of this.

Da Xia Guoshi Shi Miaoying sat on the seat with a flat face, her eyes quietly swept across the representatives of various forces in the present world including Long Yu.

These people are very weak.

Even the highest level of cultivation is just right.

But in the big world, they have an incomparably lofty status.

There are even known as the patron saint of a country...

Shi Miaoying didn't mean to underestimate the big world, nor did she dare to underestimate the big world.

Others may not know it, but she knows it.

For tens of thousands of years, the heavenly demon who turned this land into a "pigsty" came from the Great World.

The master who controls her life and death and the way forward is only one of them, and it is only the weaker one...

However, sitting at the banquet scene at the moment.

Shi Miaoying is really unimaginable.

These people from the big world who are so weak that they can all be shocked to death by themselves are actually living in the same world as the demons.

How did they survive?

How did it lead to prosperity?

Shi Miaoying felt even more inconceivable when she thought that the master intended to use her own hands to spread the Great Law of the Heavenly Demon to the big world.

How tyrannical is the demon?

Since it is in a world,

How difficult would it be for the Heavenly Demon to control or kill the weak in these great worlds?

Do you want to be so troublesome?

If you don't understand it, you don't understand it, Shi Miaoying dare not question her master.

Sitting at the banquet now, she still has another question lingering in her mind.

Who is that person who came out halfway, ruined the beast tide and even rooted it out?

It is obviously just a mere ascendant immortal, and a ascendant immortal who has just crossed the catastrophe and has not had time to stabilize his cultivation. Why can he single-handedly destroy the century-old beast tide that has initially formed?

And why do you have the ability to face and even stabilize yourself?

The destruction of the century-old beast horde had a great impact, but she was so anxious that the shot was the rule of space.

But it didn't hurt him at all...

Originally, she thought that Li Jing would be a strong man in the big world.

When her useless subordinate who broke the big event reported, it also stated that someone was very likely to be from the big world.

But looking at the representatives of all forces in the big world, Shi Miaoying felt that she and her subordinates might have made a mistake.

Take a look at the past.

Among the hundreds of representatives of the big world forces present here, there are no more than a dozen of Daoists, and a little more of Huashen, and the rest are only in the realm of Nascent Soul.

That's it?

Obviously there is no way to get involved with that person...

Indeed.

The overall strength of the people of the Great World cannot simply be measured by their practice. The product of the combination of "technology and immortality" among the population of the Great World is indeed very good.

But it's just a foreign thing after all.

The monster I encountered that was worthy of being a fairy but already controlled the power of rules could not be a person from the same path.

What is the background of that person?

Could it be that the master once mentioned in his mouth that he did not deal with the outer heavens and suppressed the people from the upper realm who came to do bad things?

While Shi Miaoying was puzzled, her eyes inadvertently fell on Xia Qianqian who returned after leaving the banquet not long ago.

Shi Miaoying recognized Princess Wenqu but was not familiar with her.

Everyone in the royal family of the Great Xia is well-known, and it is rare to be allowed to enter the imperial city once. This waste is not worthy of the attention of a person like her.

However today.

She had to pay attention.

At this time, Xia Qianqian was sitting next to Xia Zhengyang, smiling sweetly.

This should not be her position.

Empress Xiao Xi and the third princess Xia Yuxi, who were really supposed to sit next to Xia Zhengyang, now sat on another table instead and were alienated.

certainly.

Shi Miaoying paid attention to Xia Qianqian not because of the sudden favor of this useless princess, but because of the person who caused her to be favored.

this time.

Shi Miaoying was not in Daxia Imperial City.

But she was well-informed.

That night, someone cast a terrifying spell in the Great Xia Palace, which shook the entire Great Xia Imperial City, and even affected the power of the rules related to thunder and lightning. None of these could be hidden from her eyes and ears.

She has a feeling.

That person is likely to be the person he encountered in the northern polar region.

But no matter how she inquired, she couldn't get any further information, only that she had a certain relationship with Xia Qianqian.

There are not many people who really know about this matter.

He always knew everything about her and believed that Youjia Xia Zhengyang was one of them, but he was tight-lipped about that person's background and cultivation level.

This time, Shi Miaoying was very depressed and unhappy.

As the master of Daxia, how many years has she turned her hands into clouds and rain in the world of Daxia?

When did Xia Zhengyang disobey her?

What else has been hidden from her?

Before I knew it, everything changed.

Dissatisfied with the status quo and suffering from a headache, Xia Qianqian, who was sitting next to Xia Zhengyang, seemed to sense it and looked over.

The two look at each other.

Shi Miaoying smiled gracefully, and picked up the wine glass in her hand as a gesture.

Seeing this, Xia Qianqian smiled brightly and raised her glass as a gesture.

Shi Miaoying's seat was right next to the seats where Xia Zhengyang and Xia Qianqian were seated.

The interaction between the two naturally cannot escape Xia Zhengyang's eyes.

Xia Zhengyang raised his brows slightly when he saw his daughter who had entered the cultivation practice met Shi Miaoying's eyes.

In the past, he regarded Xia Qianqian as a bargaining chip that could be used for marriage in the future.

Now, he has regarded Xia Qianqian as an heir.

Since the people from the big world came, he was very satisfied with the performances of Xia Qianqian, a daughter he had never looked at directly.

Not only did she come forward to solve the incident caused by Xia Yuxi's running to the camp of Long Yu Country, but she also became a bridge between Da Xia and Long Yu Country. Supported by the Great Northern League.

If it weren't for Xia Qianqian, this wave of the Great Xia Dynasty might have overturned.

It is not possible to not get any support, but it may not be possible to get the support of the two superpowers.

on the contrary.

His princes and grandsons, even the current prince, failed to achieve any results.

Xia Zhengyang was the emperor.

He naturally hoped that his heir would be a capable master.

Originally, Xia Qianqian simply contributed to Daxia, but Xia Zhengyang would not have changed so much.

Even with the background of Li Jing, the guardian of the Heavenly Sacred Realm, Xia Qianqian is still an ordinary person who cannot practice.

No matter how much credit she has made, this will not change.

How can ordinary people support Da Xia?

To put it bluntly.

The life expectancy of ordinary people is as high as a hundred years...

He, Xia Zhengyang, is now in his prime, even if he intends to change the Crown Prince Xia Qianqian, he may not survive to the day when he wants to abdicate.

But now it is different.

Xia Qianqian has successfully introduced the Great World's cultivation method through Long Yuguo's relationship. She is already a practitioner, and has the value of key cultivation.

Seeing Xia Qianqian and Shi Miaoying drank each other's glasses after toasting each other, countless thoughts flashed through Xia Zhengyang's heart, and he spoke with a smile.

"Wen Qu, although you were not in the imperial city in the past, you must have heard of the great name of the national teacher. Now that you have started the cultivation method of Longyu in the Great World, you have just started and there are probably many things you don't understand. Looking at the whole Great Xia, no one It can be said that how familiar you are with the cultivation methods of the big world, you can only rely on yourself."

As he spoke, he stroked his beard and said.

"To be honest, I don't worry about you. It's rare that the national teacher is here today, so you might as well join the national teacher's school."

? ? ?

Xia Qianqian.

She was thinking about...

When I was watching, Miaoying kept looking at me, and people raised their glasses to signal that I would not give up. Why did my father suddenly want to be a teacher?

the other side.

Shi Miaoying was also a little confused by Xia Zhengyang's sudden remarks.

Is this old emperor suffering from insanity?

Not to mention the identity behind her.

Doesn't the majestic Da Xia Guoshi not want to lose face?

Xia Qianqian has just started the cultivation method of the big world, and now she is only in the Qi refining state.

It is understandable that the emperor's old son dotes on his daughter.

But Qi Lian, who is almost thirty years old, is qualified to be her apprentice?

But when Shi Miaoying thought about it again, she couldn't stop feeling a little moved.

Xia Zhengyang obviously wanted to make Xia Qianqian his successor.

Even she can say it responsibly.

If it weren't for Xia Qianqian's current cultivation base being too weak, the crown prince's position might have been replaced by now.

Binding an emperor who will be in charge of Great Xia in the future can provide a lot of convenience in the future.

more importantly.

If you get close to Xia Qianqian, you may be able to find out the news about the person who made her favored.

Thinking of this, Shi Miaoying smiled softly.

"Thanks to Your Majesty's love, if Princess Wenqu is willing to worship me as a teacher, I will do my best to teach you."

While speaking, she casually glanced at many princes, grandchildren and concubines because of Xia Zhengyang's words, and continued.

"I have never met formally in the past, so I have not paid attention to it. Seeing it today, I think Princess Wenqu has the appearance of an emperor. If she can become emperor in the future, it will definitely lead to prosperity in Daxia."

Shi Miaoying's words seemed plain, but they were actually quite insidious.

Xia Qianqian just wanted to be a queen, but she directly said that she was the future queen of Daxia.

Of course Xia Zhengyang liked to hear it.

The heir he wants to focus on training has the appearance of an emperor. Doesn't this prove that he has a good vision?

There are Wenqu in Daxia, let’s enjoy it!

However, many princes, grandchildren and concubines were as unhappy as they were when they heard Shi Miaoying's words.

With those gazes, I wish I could cut Xia Qianqian alive on the spot.

Even though Xia Qianqian was no longer confident, she was still sweating every minute.

fear?

nonexistent.

After getting started with the cultivation method, she no longer wants to keep going, and her plan has long since changed.

She didn't plan to go back to the fief, and planned to stay in Daxia Imperial City.

Slowly gain a high profile and gain a firm foothold in the imperial city.

But she is still fledgling after all.

A gradual process is required during this period...

However, at this moment, Miaoying said lightly, which completely disrupted her pace, and made her fall into an extremely dangerous situation.

This time.

Not to mention the Great Xia Imperial City, she didn't even dare to go back to her fief.

If you want to protect yourself, there is only one way in front of you.

Taking advantage of the situation, he worshiped Shi Miaoying as his teacher and sought her asylum.

In the current situation, Xia Zhengyang's favor alone cannot protect her.

After all, Xia Zhengyang is the emperor, so it is impossible to focus on her all the time.

Xia Zhengyang actually understood the same reasoning.

It's just that in his opinion, these are just small things.

As long as they worship Shi Miaoying as their teacher, no one will dare to touch Xia Qianqian.

The danger of fighting for the king is something she must face and experience.

I can't bear this, why are you talking about being a queen?

Seeing that Xia Qianqian's pretty face turned pale and looked coldly at Shi Miaoying who had been silent for a long time, clearly not wanting to be a teacher but worried about her own situation, Xia Zhengyang was very satisfied.

He didn't expect Xia Qianqian to be as friendly as Miaoying.

He trusts Shi Miaoying.

But as an emperor, how could he trust him completely?

No matter how capable Shi Miaoying is, she is not a member of the Daxia royal family. She may leave or even betray her at any time.

Now, this woman's status is a bit high, isn't she?

In front of Xia Qianqian, he was reluctant but also showed consideration and not recklessness. This kind of disposition suits him very well.

"Wen Qu, the national teacher is a genius. I believe she will be a good teacher. With her care, you will grow faster."

After saying something earnestly, Xia Zhengyang glanced lightly at the high-ranking officials of Daxia, representatives of sect forces, and representatives of secular forces who were eating melons, and looked at Xia Qianqian with a smile.

"The people present here today are all unusual people, and there are even representatives of the big world. It is better to hit the sun than to choose a day, and you might as well join the school of the national teacher immediately, so that everyone can be a witness."

"..."

Xia Qianqian.

Xia Zhengyang did this all of a sudden for her benefit, to pave the way for her.

She knows this.

At the same time she understood.

As long as she complies with this challenge, it will be much easier for her to become a queen in the future.

But she had to worry about Li Jing's relationship.

She is no fool.

Although she doesn't have much contact with her, her master is quite approachable.

But whoever is missed by her master will end well?

When Shi Miaoying and Li Jing meet in the future, it is not certain what will happen to her, how can she accept this?

What's more, she already regards Li Jing as her master in her heart?

In all honesty.

Her dear father is no ordinary deceitful person.

Not knowing what to do, Xia Qianqian saw a masked figure with hands behind his back in the shadow behind Long Yuguo's representative.

Master! ?

Xia Qianqian froze for a moment, then quickly glanced to the left and right.

That person was Li Jing, she was sure.

People just stood there like that, not only Xia Zhengyang and Shi Miaoying, but no one in the room noticed.

Only she can see...

In other words, Li Jing was willing to let her see it.

he……

When did you come?

Just when she was wondering, Xia Qianqian saw Li Jing raised her finger and pointed at Shi Miaoying, and then wiped her neck.

It was difficult for her to understand this simple and rude action.

Then she naturally misunderstood Li Jing's intentions.

Li Jing's action was to tell Xia Qianqian that he would kill Shi Miaoying in the future.

From Xia Qianqian's point of view, she would kill Shi Miaoying for her.

Master saw that she was wronged!

Xia Qianqian was elated and made a decision, and turned to look at Xia Zhengyang.

"Father's kindness, my child appreciates it. It's just that my child already has a master, so it's not suitable for me to worship under the national teacher."

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.

All those present who had anything to do with the imperial power were worried for a second that sometimes Miaoying would cover them, and it would be very difficult to deal with Xia Qianqian later.

Who would have thought that people would choose to refuse in the next second.

Shi Miaoying has such a big backer, but she doesn't want it?

The other party, Shi Miaoying, was taken aback when Xia Qianqian chose to reject her, and then frowned.

Xia Zhengyang was also stunned for a moment, and then understood in seconds.

Instead of blaming Xia Qianqian for disobeying him, he waved a wave of gray air as a barrier, separating himself, Xia Qianqian, and Shi Miaoying alone.

"Wenqu, the master you speak of refers to..."

"That's the one."

Xia Qianqian spoke calmly.

The flat voice made Xia Zhengyang beam with joy.

Originally thought that Xia Qianqian was simply favored by Li Jing, but he didn't want the two to be in a master-student relationship.

Doesn't this tm take off in place?

In front of that person, what is Shi Miaoying?

He doesn't know.

Shi Miaoying present here is much stronger than Li Jing, who claimed to be the guardian of the Heavenly Sacred Realm at the time, and has a deeper background.

Shi Miaoying, who was separated together, frowned slightly as she listened to the hidden whispers of the father and daughter.

that one……

It obviously refers to the mysterious strong man who appeared when she was not in the imperial city.

Xia Qianqian worshiped that person as his teacher?

It seems that I need to go deeper later.

Just as he was thinking, Xia Zhengyang looked over and said very forcefully.

"National teacher, you have also heard that it happened because I didn't mention the matter of Wenqu's apprenticeship. As compensation, after this century-old beast tide, I will order someone to build another lonely mountain near the imperial city as the national teacher's cave. .”

Shi Miaoying naturally catered to Xia Zhengyang's decision.

Although she didn't take the emperor seriously from the bottom of her heart, she still had to do some superficial work.

Right now, Xia Zhengyang mentioned her cave, but she almost couldn't hold back.

It's okay if you don't mention it this time, but she will get angry when she mentions it.

I just left for a while, and when I came back, the entire mountain where the cave was located was gone.

She even wondered for a while whether she had gone to the wrong place.

he meow...

When had she, Shi Miaoying, been so angry?

In fact, she didn't care if the cave was lost.

What she loves most is the Lingquan spring that she finally got.

Barely keeping her face sullen, Shi Miaoying smiled and nodded.

"Since Princess Wenqu already has a master, I will naturally not force it."

As she spoke, she had a half-smile.

"However, I am very curious. Who is the master that Princess Wenqu is talking about? I wonder if the princess is convenient to introduce..."

Before she finished speaking, Xia Qianqian opened her mouth dumbly.

"inconvenient."

"..."

Shi Miaoying.

It's okay for Xia Zhengyang to suddenly become very tough, but how can Xia Qianqian become so tough when facing himself?

Reject it positively!

Don't even turn a corner!

Is that person that strong?

besides.

Why is this little girl like Mao looking at herself as if she was looking at a dead person?

While wondering, Xia Qianqian turned her head.

"Father, the time for the child is approaching, and it's time for the team to meet the beast horde to set off."

"Well, the business must not be delayed."

Xia Zhengyang nodded, waved his hands to dispel the barrier, and then stood up suddenly.

"The time of Zi is approaching, and the banquet tonight will come to an end. All the soldiers of the Great Xia and the disciples of the Zongmen obey the order and send their troops to the northern border to meet the beast horde."

As soon as this remark came out, the senior generals of Daxia present and the representatives of the sect immediately agreed in unison.

To them, the beast tide is the most important event among major events.

In contrast to this.

Xia Qianqian's melons were nothing at all.

After a while.

The lively banquet ended.

The generals of the Great Xia, the representatives of the Zongmen, and the representatives of the secular forces left respectively.

Not long.

In the middle of the night, countless sword lights rose from the skies over the Great Xia Imperial City and its surrounding lands, and turned in a neat and orderly manner to the direction of the northern border.

In front of the imperial palace.

Xia Zhengyang watched thousands of sword lights go away, and when she turned her head to look at her side, Miaoying cupped her hands and bowed.

"National Teacher, I'm sorry."

When Shi Miaoying heard the words and nodded, she rose from the sky and turned into a stream of light and went away.

Xia Qianqian stood aside and saw this man going away, and quietly glanced around.

At this time Li Jing was standing beside her.

Glancing at his sight, Li Jing nodded lightly, his figure turned into thunder, and followed Miaoying away.

...

Li Jing didn't plan to come to the banquet.

But he couldn't help being curious about Shi Miaoying, and finally followed Xia Qianqian quietly.

In order to prevent being discovered by Shi Miaoying, he not only wore smoke pupils but also kept the silent phantom running throughout the process.

Originally, he was planning to hide and wait and see.

After all, Shi Miaoying's cultivation is at the Nine Realms, and the Silent Phantom may not be able to affect her, that is, the effect of the smoke pupils covering the breath can be really used.

To his surprise.

When he arrived at the place, he found that the value of the blood bar above Miaoying's head showed only 10566.

Entered the Eight Realms for the first time.

This cultivation level does not match the phantom of the woman he met in the northern polar region.

But they are the same person, that's for sure.

In terms of appearance, Shi Miaoying herself is exactly the same as the phantom of the woman.

And although the blood bar above his head does not match, the number of essence sources displayed behind the blood bar is also 86490.

Although I don't know exactly what's going on, but Shi Miaoying herself has just entered the eighth realm, and the amount of essence that can be obtained by killing is quite a bit, which Li Jing is happy to see.

If he wants to kill the Nine Realms, he will inevitably waste his strength.

For the first time entering the Eighth Realm, isn't it just a matter of minutes?

Shi Miaoying herself has just entered the eighth level of cultivation, which also made Li Jing lose his scruples.

The Silent Phantom can easily affect her...

...

The journey to the northern border of the Eastern Continent is very far away.

The overall movement involving the generals of the Great Xia, the Zongmen forces, and various forces in the present world has been very slow.

Fortunately, the teams of all forces obviously did not maintain the idea of ​​advancing in a unified manner. Those with high cultivation bases directly left the main force and ran to the prospect of the northern border to take up positions.

What kind of benefits can be reaped in the end from fighting the beast horde depends on the location.

The beast horde came ashore in batches along the entire coast, and the number of each batch was not necessarily the same.

In fact, even the people of Daxia couldn't tell for sure in which position they could encounter more ghost beasts.

However, after many years of fighting, they generally have an idea in mind, and they know where the terrain is more favorable to meet the ghost beasts.

It is worth mentioning that.

The real battle against the beast horde was not on the border of the Eastern Continent, but in the hinterland of the continent, which was a long way from the coast.

Li Jing had expected this.

Previously, he traveled alone to the northern polar region for a whole day before leaving the Eastern Continent. How could two days be enough for a team composed of various forces to march to the northern coast as a whole?

Really want to meet at the seaside.

With Wang Yang as a cover, the Nether Evil Beast wasn't that easy to kill.

It is obviously more reasonable to fight inland.

The ones that will be lost during this period are the creatures that went to the attacking position after the beast tide came ashore.

Do Daxia people care about this?

not.

Put that aside.

Shi Miaoying, who was followed by Li Jing, didn't seem to be in a hurry. She walked all the way to the northern border with the 100,000 elite soldiers assigned to her by Xia Zhengyang, and kept advancing in the overall formation throughout the process.

Compared with the advancement speed of other teams, her team can be said to be the slowest.

On the surface, she has a bit of a steady taste.

But Li Jing always felt that she had other purposes.

It took two full days for Shi Miaoying and her 100,000 elite soldiers to reach the position where they set up a line of defense against the beast horde.

At this time, the other Great Xia armies, Zongmen forces, and even the Great World forces had already taken their respective positions, and they had already started to set up the attack formations and fortifications, and they were very busy.

It was approaching morning.

When she arrived at the line of defense, Shi Miaoying immediately summoned the generals in the army, took out a scroll and opened it.

Relying on the role of the Silent Phantom, Li Jing stood behind her.

Entering the scroll, he frowned.

On the picture scroll is the territory of Daxia.

It clearly delineated the position of the line of defense against the beast tide that runs through the northern border horizontally, and made unique marks on a total of 21 positions near the line of defense where they are at the moment.

Shi Miaoying took out the picture scroll and didn't give other orders to the generals, but asked them to lead the team to each position as soon as possible to stand by.

People quickly dispersed.

Li Jing watched the soldiers lead the team away, and then looked back at the picture scroll that Shi Miaoying hadn't put away and was studying.

This scroll must have a reputation.

According to what Xia Qianqian said before, what Shi Miaoying told Xia Zhengyang was to set up a formation just in case.

From this it is not difficult to guess.

The layout on the scroll should be a certain formation.

If you regard the scattered elites of Xia as formation eyes, the separation of these formation eyes would be too far away.

Although most of the positions marked on the map are nearby, it can be seen that all the marks cover a range of at least thousands of kilometers.

Such a large formation doesn't mean it can't be deployed.

It can be said that people are the eyes.

One hundred thousand people is really too small.

What is this woman up to?

Li Jing frowned slightly, choosing to wait patiently.

When Miaoying died, don't worry.

He waited for so long just to see how Shi Miaoying could remedy the impossible animal horde, and to see if he could make a fortune.
