Chapter 437: Converging at the Border (1/2)

Chapter 437 Gathering at the Border

"Teacher, there is still some time before the three-year appointment. I want to go to the foot of the mountain to tell my grandpa that he is safe. He must still be thinking about me."

Nalan Yanran handed Yun Xiao to Zi Jing and said this, Yun Yun opened her mouth lightly.

"Your grandfather has not been in Jiama Holy City recently, and you won't be able to see him when you go down the mountain." Yun Yun said softly: "Don't worry, I had already written to him the day you came out. He should know by now that you have passed through the gate of life and death." Out."

"Eh? Not in the Holy City of Gama? Where is that?"

Nalan Yanran was stunned, and Yun Yun continued.

"There has been some unrest at the empire's border recently. His old man has been leading the army to guard the border. In the past two days, Yunlan Sect has also been transferring people to the border."

"What happened?"

"The three countries of Izumo, Luoyan and Mulan seem to be joining forces to deal with the Garma Empire. For this matter, the top leaders of the Garma Empire have been tense recently, and even the Snake Tribe has sent several leaders to help."

"Really?" Nalan Yan nodded clearly, and then said solemnly: "Teacher, I want to go too."

"Huh? What are you going to do? You're not."

Before Yun Yun finished speaking, Nalan Yanran continued.

"Although Teacher, you have already written to Grandpa, I think it is better to see him in person to make him truly feel relieved." Nalan Yanran said and smiled, "And there is still some time before the three-year appointment. , I am just idle here, I just want to relax."

Yun Yun looked at Nalan Yanran and sighed helplessly after a while.

"Okay, then go ahead." Yun Yun's expression became more serious, "But remember, you must pay attention to safety."

"Um!"

In Black Corner Territory, Black Seal City, Yunying and Xiao Yan, who had just said goodbye, were walking on the street on the pretext of important matters at home. She looked at the residents on the street, regardless of gender, old or young, all with happy smiles on their faces. I don’t know. Why do I feel so anxious inside?

There is an urge to destroy all these smiles.

Yunying had seen a lot of similar smiles so far, but it was only the smiles of these residents of the Black Corner Territory that caused such a big shock to her.

why?

After Yunying thought for a while, a look of surprise appeared in his scarlet eyes.

Ah. Got it.

This is because of jealousy.

Jealousy: These residents should have experienced similar sufferings to themselves in the past, but now they experienced true happiness because of Xiao Yan's intervention.

Those happy people are born in a happy environment from the beginning, so even if they get happiness, it is a matter of course.

But these residents of the Black Corner Territory are different. They should have experienced suffering all their lives, but now they have found happiness because of Xiao Yan.

This feeling was unpleasant, so unpleasant that Yunying had murderous intent in his eyes.

But soon, Yunying restrained her emotions and praised Xiao Yan from another angle.

"It's amazing that you can make us feel jealous."

Yunying chuckled. With her current strength, almost everything in this world was within her reach, and there was nothing that could make her feel jealous.

But Xiao Yan did it, which is quite incredible.

It is not difficult to make a place that should be happy become happy.

It is not difficult to cause suffering to a place that should be happy.

It is not difficult to bring suffering to a region that should be suffering.

What is rare is that a region that should have suffered forever has gained happiness.

This Black Corner Territory has existed for thousands of years in an extremely weak and powerful manner. During these thousands of years, this Black Corner Territory has essentially remained unchanged except for the changes in the forces of all parties.

During this period, someone may want to change.

But some people are powerless.

Some people are too weak and careless.

The former just talked about it, while the latter didn't even say it.

The only person who could do this was Xiao Yan.

"Then where should we go to kill time next?"

The folding fan in Yunying's hand was pressed lightly against her lips, her scarlet eyes flashing with brilliance as she wondered what she was thinking.

Yunying wandered into a deserted corner, raised her hand slightly, and a black figure suddenly appeared, kneeling behind her.

"Sir, what are your orders?"

"Northwestern Continent, has anything special happened recently?"

Yunying turned her back and asked lightly, and the dark figure immediately answered.

"According to the report from the branch hall in the northwest continent, the three countries of Izumo, Luoyan, and Mulan have been preparing to jointly launch a general attack on the Gama Empire in the past few days, and our people are also preparing to harvest a large number of souls from this battle. "

"Ho~~~" Yunying raised his eyebrows slightly, and then asked: "How does the combination of the three countries compare with the national power of the Jia Ma Empire?"

"The Jia Ma Empire's national power has greatly increased in the past two years. If both sides really fight to the death, the Jia Ma Empire should win."

"Hey~ Is it so powerful?"

The folding fan in Yunying's hand lightly touched his forehead, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Since the Jia Ma Empire is like this, Xiao Yan will definitely go back, right? His three-year agreement with the young master of the Yunlan Sect seemed to be coming soon.

It seems that there is fun to watch again.

"Go and pass on my orders. If those three countries join forces and lose the first battle, no matter how miserable the defeat is, we will secretly support them in the second battle."

"This" the black figure was slightly startled, and then asked: "May I ask, sir, to what extent do we want to support our people? Are we going to help them defeat the Jia Ma Empire?"

This matter really needs to be clarified. With the power of the Soul Palace, when the two forces are evenly matched, whichever side they join will win. As for Yunying's intention, he naturally needs to ask clearly, otherwise if the result is not what Yunying wants, he will lose his head.

Yunying paused for a while after hearing his question, and asked.

"What is the strength of the strongest person in the Northwest Continent now?"

"Uh" Yunying asked, the black shadow was stunned, and hurriedly lowered his head to answer: "The cultivation resources in the Northwest Continent are not as abundant as those in Zhongzhou. According to the information collected by our people at present, the strongest are the two guardians of Canaan Academy, both of whom are at the peak of Dou Zong."

"Then they should be below Dou Zun, and try their best to improve their strength, even if it is a short-term method of burning life. As for the result, you don't need to interfere."

"Yes!"

The black shadow disappeared without a trace in an instant. Yunying looked back at the residents coming and going on the street, with a flickering light in her eyes. Even she herself did not notice that there was a trace of envy in her eyes, almost no envy.

If there was a person like Xiao Yan in the family back then.

Would our lives be completely different from now?

In the headquarters of the Evil Prison, Xiao Yan, who had just said goodbye to Yun Ying, came to the room. Xiao Yixian's body was lying quietly on the bed, and only Xiao Mei was guarding beside her.

"Cousin Xiao Yan, you are back?" Xiao Yan smiled and nodded.

"Where are Sister Xiao Yu and the others?"

"They are all busy with their own affairs. The Evil Prison has just unified the Black Horn Region, and Xiao Yixian has become like this again. Almost all the things are on Sister Xiao Yu." Xiao Mei shrugged helplessly, and then remembered something, and hurriedly said: "By the way, cousin Xiao Yan, the clue called Bodhi or something!"

"Bodhi? Bodhi Transformation Saliva?!"

Xiao Yan was stunned, and Xiao Mei nodded quickly.

"Yes, yes, yes! That's the name! Xiao Ning said that he found a clue these days, and Teacher Han Feng accompanied him."

After getting Xiao Mei's confirmation, Xiao Yan was overjoyed, but soon calmed down and told Xiao Mei in a serious voice.

"Mei'er, I'll leave this matter and the Black Horn Region to you. I have to go back to the Gama Empire in the next few days."

"Go back to the Gama Empire?" Xiao Mei was stunned for a moment, and then a look of realization appeared in her eyes, "The three-year agreement is about to expire?"

"Not only this reason, I just received news that there has been some unrest around the Gama Empire recently, and a war may break out soon."

"War breaks out?!" Xiao Mei panicked and said quickly: "Cousin Xiao Yan! Let's go back together! And there are so many combat forces in the Black Horn Region, they will definitely be able to help!"

"Mei'er, calm down first." Xiao Yan patted Xiao Mei's head and comforted her: "It's just a possibility, it may not really break out, not to mention that the Black Horn Region has just stabilized. If all the combat forces in the Black Horn Region are withdrawn at this time, the Black Horn Region may return to its previous state without supervision, and then our efforts in the past two years will be in vain."

"This"

Xiao Mei's face showed a bitter look, Xiao Yan smiled, and handed a token to Xiao Mei.

This is what Xiao Yan made in imitation of Zi Yun, and he injected some residual fire into the token.

"If there is anything in the Black Horn Region, you can crush the token. If the token suddenly breaks, it means that I need help. It won't be too late to call someone then."

"Okay, I got it."

Xiao Mei nodded and put the token away. Xiao Yan took out the coffin and carefully placed the body of Xiao Yixian on the bed in the coffin.

When Xiao Mei saw the coffin, her expression was very surprised.

"Cousin Xiao Yan, is this a coffin??"

Whose coffin is so luxurious? By the way, can such a luxurious coffin really be sold?

"Haha. This is a friend of mine whose family happens to be doing related business. I guess their family is doing business for the first time and doesn't know much about this aspect."

Xiao Yan smiled, closed the coffin board, and a black chain appeared in his hand to lock the coffin tightly. He lifted it up and moved it slightly.

Well, it's okay. It's much heavier than the Xuanzhong ruler, but it's acceptable.

At least with such a hard coffin, even if he really encountered any emergency, he would not have to worry about Xiao Yixian's body being damaged.

(Hey! Xiao Yan! Be gentle! Don't hurt my body!)

(Don't worry, the inside of this coffin is very soft, it's okay.)

Xiao Yan smiled and responded in his heart, carrying the coffin on his back and waving to Xiao Mei.

"Then Mei'er, I'll ask you to talk to the others, I'm leaving first."

"Cousin Xiao Yan."

Xiao Mei stretched out her hand to say something, but Xiao Yan had already left with the coffin on his back, which made Xiao Mei's eyes a little bitter. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said to herself.

"Xiao Mei, Xiao Mei, you have grown up. Don't cling to cousin Xiao Yan like before."

After these words, Xiao Mei turned around and looked out the window. After a long time, she stretched her arms and left the room.

"Well, I should go back to the orphanage. Those children haven't seen me these days. They must miss me a lot."

In the border fortress of the Jia Ma Empire, an old man stood on the city wall, looking at the endless desert.

Nalan Jie, the Lionheart Marshal of the Jia Ma Empire.

Now he is a five-star Dou Huang.

Just yesterday, he received a letter from Yun Yun, the leader of the Yun Lan Sect, and was told that his granddaughter had safely come out of the Gate of Life and Death, which made him very happy.

However, the joy did not last long before it was overshadowed by deep sorrow.

Now, the war was imminent, and he had no time to waste too much time on his granddaughter.

As the commander of the border defense of the Jiama Empire, he had to focus on resisting invasion at all times.

Speaking of which, Yanran. Did you know about that?

Nalan Jie was worried, and at this time a heroic voice came from behind him.

"General Nalan, it's time to eat, why are you still standing here?"

Nalan Jie turned around and saw a heroic short-haired woman climbing up the city wall.

Xiao Li, the sister of the national teacher Xiao Ji, has grown into the new general of the empire in two years. Her skin is a little darker, and her hair, which was not long to begin with, has been cut even shorter. At first glance, she was thought to be a handsome young man.

According to Xiao Li, long hair is a hindrance.

Because of this, the women in the army initially misunderstood her gender and secretly regarded Xiao Li as an object of admiration. When they learned her true gender, many women were quite disappointed, but many women still admired her even more.

There are also many men in the army who secretly have a good impression of Xiao Li, who is more generous and generous than men despite being a woman.

In short, this person is popular with both men and women in the army, although she has no idea how popular she is.

Her current strength is that of a one-star Dou Wang.

This time, the border guarding power is in the hands of Nalan Jie, and Xiao Li is responsible for leading the snake people who brought to the border to help guard.

The snake people have just joined the Jia Ma Empire for two years, and there must be snake people who still have grudges against the Jia Ma Empire, and Xiao Li serves as their superior as a buffer zone.

After all, Xiao Li has been leading the snake people to rebuild Chisha City in earnest for the past two years. The snake people have a much better impression of her than the Gama Empire. Although Xiao Li is a general of the Gama Empire, they feel much better when they obey Xiao Li's orders than when they obey the Gama Empire directly.

Hearing Xiao Li's words, Nalan Jie did not respond, and his eyes turned to the endless desert outside the city wall again. Xiao Li also knew what he was worried about, and said carelessly.

"Don't worry, those three countries don't have the courage to invade. Even if they really come, we have enough people to deal with them. We can easily beat them to tears!"

"."

Xiao Li's bold words did not make Nalan Jie feel relieved at all, and he felt helpless in his heart.

Xiao Li can be said to be impeccable in terms of fighting and leading troops, but he does things without considering the consequences, which is fatal. Nalan Jie is quite clear about how many messes Xiao Yu has cleaned up for Xiao Li in the past two years.

It can be said that if Xiao Li hadn't helped her clean up the mess, Xiao Li would not have been able to become a general even if she had made many military achievements. This child has no knowledge of the ways of the world.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Xiao Li had half the brains of Xiao Li, Nalan Jie would have immediately handed over the position of marshal to Xiao Li and announced his retirement to return to the Holy City of Gama to live in retirement.

But with Xiao Li's current personality that is completely reckless, Nalan Jie really can't give her the position of marshal.

Xiao Li's personality is more than enough to be a general, but she is far from being a marshal. This personality is a trap for the army to be a marshal.

Nalan Jie can't understand. Xiao Li is obviously Xiao Li's sister, why is there such a big difference in intelligence?
