"I'm Senior An and he's Yun Zheng. We've obviously entered the city to look for someone." Senior An did not doubt him at all.
However, the soldiers who heard these two names were immediately shocked. Someone immediately called out, "We've found them! They're Senior An and Yun Zheng! Quick, go inform the city lord's estate!" Hearing this, a few soldiers immediately climbed onto their magical beast mounts and ran into the city.
The soldiers' reactions stunned Senior An and Yun Zheng. The two of them did not understand what was going on. Seeing the soldiers running into the city on their magical beast mounts, a gleam of light flashed through Yun Zheng's eyes. He immediately charged forward with a gust of wind. With his full strength as an Earth Saint Master, he easily caught up to the soldiers on their magical beasts. He directly punched their mounts and killed them. The soldiers on them also rolled off their mounts in an extremely wretched manner.
"Speak clearly. What's going on? It's our first time in the Kingdom of Gesun and we haven't offended anyone. Who would spend so much effort to find the two of us?" Yun Zheng said in a deep voice as he stood in the center of the city gates. A tremendous presence radiated from his body.
The situation here had alarmed quite a few soldiers. Immediately, a large group of armored soldiers hurriedly ran down from the city walls and surrounded Yun Zheng. On the city walls, powerful crossbow carts were also fully drawn. The arrowheads were aimed at Yun Zheng, ready to fire at any time.
Senior An's face also became stern. He stomped his foot on the ground and leapt into the air. He passed by the soldiers surrounding Yun Zheng and arrived beside him. They stood together and faced off against the surrounding soldiers.
"What's going on? Who's causing trouble down there?" A deep voice rang out from the city walls. The commander of the city guards, Tu Fu, stood on the city walls and looked down. He spoke expressionlessly, but a cold light flickered in his eyes.
A few soldiers who had been interrogating Senior An and Yun Zheng hurriedly ran over. They hurriedly stopped the two sides, "Don't misunderstand, we're all on the same side. We're all on the same side." Then, a soldier hurriedly reported to Tu Fu, who was standing high up on the city gate tower, "Reporting to the Commander in Chief, these two are Senior Physician An and Yun Zheng."
"Doctor An, Yun Zheng!" Tu Fu muttered in a low voice. Soon after, his expression changed. His expression immediately became solemn as he shouted, "Everyone, back down. Do not be rude."
The soldiers surrounding Senior Physician An and Yun Zheng retreated like a receding tide. In the blink of an eye, they were all gone. The originally tense atmosphere also relaxed following the departure of this group of soldiers. However, this left Senior Physician An and Yun Zheng puzzled. No one knew what was going on.
Tu Fu had already arrived in front of the two. He cupped his hands and smiled warmly, "So the two of you are Doctor An and Yun Zheng. You have finally appeared. We have been looking for you for several days."
"Who are you? Why are you looking for me? The two of us don't seem to know you. "Doctor An couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked.
Tu Fu chuckled and said, "Actually, it's not us who's looking for you. The one who's looking for you two is the Fourth Young Master of Changyang Prefecture."
Yun Zheng's brows furrowed slightly. "The Fourth Young Master of Changyang Prefecture. Could it be the Changyang Shōten who has been the talk of the town recently?"
"That's right. It is indeed the Fourth Young Master of Changyang Shōten. If the two of you are really the people the Fourth Young Master is looking for, then you will definitely know the Fourth Young Master." Tu Fu smiled and explained patiently to the two of them.
"What Changyang Shōten? You've probably got the wrong person. I don't even know that Changyang Shōten." Doctor An's face was gloomy.
"This …" Tu Fu hesitated. Judging from Doctor An and Yun Zheng's expressions, it was obvious that they didn't know Changyang Shōten. This made him wonder if he had really found the wrong person.
Yun Zheng frowned slightly and thought for a while. Suddenly, his eyes flashed and he said in a low voice, "Doctor An, do you think this Changyang Shōten could be Jianchen?"
Doctor An was slightly taken aback before his eyes lit up. He exclaimed, "Yes, it must be Jianchen. It must be him.
Because it was Jianchen who asked us to come to Lore City, only he knows our names. "
Hearing this, a wide smile appeared on Tu Fu's face again. He said, "Both of you, the Fourth Young Master lives in Changyang Prefecture. Allow me to lead the way for the two of you."
Following this, Tu Fu personally led the way for Doctor An and Yun Zheng, bringing them to Changyang Prefecture. When Doctor An and Yun Zheng arrived, Jianchen, Ming Dong, and the others were inspecting the rebuilt Changyang Prefecture. Soon, the two sides met.
"Hey, Jian Chen, it really is you. I didn't think that the Changyang Xiangtian who has been the talk of the town would actually be you." As soon as the two sides met, Doctor An opened his mouth and laughed loudly. He was obviously very happy. Yun Zheng, on the other hand, was much calmer. He stood to one side without saying anything, but his heart was in turmoil. This was because the two of them had heard many legends about the fourth young master of the Changyang clan on their way here.
The two of them had snorted disdainfully at this twenty-one year old Heaven Saint Master more than once.
Since they had made friends at the Mercenary Tournament, everyone was naturally happy to see each other again. Jianchen immediately ordered the inn's waiter to prepare a banquet to welcome Doctor An and Yun Zheng.
The two of them had spent half a year, crossing over a million kilometers to get here. This touched Jianchen very much.
"Jianchen, I never thought that in just half a year, your strength would have reached the level of a Heaven Saint Master. This is just too unbelievable. It looks like you've benefited a lot from the Sacred Land." Doctor An mumbled with a piece of roasted meat in his mouth. He was also amazed that Jianchen could become a Heaven Saint Master.
"Haha, the Sacred Land is indeed a very good place. However, my breakthrough to Heaven Saint Master was not entirely due to the Sacred Land. There was something else," Jianchen said vaguely. He did not explain too clearly.
The few of them chatted very happily at the table. They all talked about some of the things they had experienced in the past. Princess You Yue, who sat there silently, also gained a deeper understanding of Jianchen from everyone's conversation. She learned more about Jianchen's past.
Very soon, night arrived. A few powerful auras rapidly approached from the distance. They soon stopped outside the inn where the people of the Changyang Prefecture were staying.
Jianchen and the Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire immediately walked out of the inn. They saw the king of the Kingdom of Gesun. Other than Xiaotian, the principal of the Kargath Academy, Kaffir, and Ye Ming, who was stationed in the imperial palace, were also with him.
"I never thought that the king would come so quickly. He's much faster than I expected," Jianchen thought to himself.
After the king, Kaffir, and Ye Ming exchanged a few pleasantries with everyone else, they were invited to the inn by Chang Wuji. However, most of their gazes were fixed on Jianchen. In the past few days, Jianchen had surprised them more and more. They never thought that in just a few days, he would bring back eight Heaven Saint Masters and a powerful army from the Qin Empire. This lineup shocked the king. Jianchen's influence in the Qin Empire was much greater than he had imagined.
In a spacious and luxurious room of the inn, the ten Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire, Qin Wuming, and his sons had all come to meet the king of the Kingdom of Gesun. Although their statuses were much higher than the king of a small country, they were completely giving face to Jianchen. At the same time, they had also found out that the king of the Kingdom of Gesun was Jianchen's future father-in-law. Just this identity alone was enough for them to treat him seriously. This was because they all understood that in the near future, the newly appointed Imperial Protector was fated to become a Saint Ruler, or even higher.
A twenty-one year old Heaven Saint Master was definitely unprecedented on the Tian Yuan Continent. No one could predict his future.
The king obviously understood that the reason why everyone treated him so courteously was all because of Jianchen. He immediately felt extremely gratified and proud of the wise decision he had made all those years ago. If he had not decided on this marriage when he was young, he probably would not have been as glorious as he was now, able to stand on equal footing with so many important people of the Qin Empire as the king of a small country.
After the king humbly said a few words of praise to everyone, his gaze finally landed on Jianchen. He smiled and said, "Dear nephew, may I ask when you will be preparing to attack the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom?"
"The five hundred thousand soldiers of the Eastern Swords Legion will all be sent over tomorrow. Once the army is gathered, we will immediately set off," Jianchen replied.
"Good, good, good. I'd like to see how the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom will be able to stop the elite armies and experts of the Qin Empire. Dear nephew, this matter is no small matter to my Kingdom of Gesun. I plan on going to the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom with you. What do you think?" The king spoke to Jianchen in a completely negotiating manner. Right now, Jianchen's status was far greater than the king's, and the power he possessed was not something the Kingdom of Gesun could compare to.
Jianchen obviously would not reject the king's request. He nodded without any hesitation. Although the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom was not weak, so many experts from the Qin Empire had come this time, so it was still possible to protect a few people.
