Jianchen and the other two left the village and headed straight for Lore City.
After two hours of unhurried travel, Jianchen and the other two finally returned to Lore City. They then landed in Changyang Prefecture.
"Greetings, fourth young master," a group of guards hurriedly bowed to Jianchen as they passed by. Their faces were filled with respect and admiration.
Jianchen waved his hand and said, "Continue your patrol!"
"Yes!" The guards answered in unison, and then continued their patrol.
"Changyang Shōten, is this your home? It's so big! "Tie Ta looked around in amazement.
Jianchen chuckled, "Come, let's go to where I live. I'll introduce you to a few friends." Jianchen led Tie Ta to the palace-like building he lived in. At the same time, he called over a servant and said, "Go inform Dugu Feng, Senior An, and Yun Zheng to come here immediately."
Jianchen brought Tie Ta into the palace he lived in. However, as soon as he entered, Tie Ta, who had not seen much of the world, was stunned by the layout. He constantly looked around with envy.
"Changyang Shōten, so this is the room you live in. Your family sure is rich," Tie Ta sighed.
Ming Dong could not help but say when he saw how Tie Ta looked like a country bumpkin who had just entered a city for the first time. "Big guy, there's no need for you to be envious. Once you have enough strength in the future, you'll be able to enjoy this treatment no matter where you go."
Tie Ta's eyes became filled with determination when he heard that. He said with determination, "Yes, I'll definitely work hard to increase my strength!"
At this moment, Dugu Feng, Yun Zheng, and Senior An walked in at the same time. As soon as they entered the room, they heard Senior An's gruff voice, "Jianchen, you're finally back. When are we leaving? I still like the days of wandering around outside. Staying here all day is boring me to death."
Jianchen smiled and said, "Everyone, take a seat. I'll also introduce a new friend to everyone."
Everyone took their seats and Jianchen introduced Tie Ta to everyone. Everyone exchanged a few pleasantries before gradually quieting down.
Jianchen pondered for a moment before announcing, "Now that everyone is here, we'll set off tomorrow morning. Everyone go back and prepare. If you need any daily necessities, get them all ready by today."
"We're leaving tomorrow? Changyang Shōten, where are we going? "Tie asked in confusion.
"The Blue Kingdom!"
… …
After leaving his room, Jianchen went to see Changyang Ba and Bi Yuntian and told them about his departure.
Although Changyang Ba and Bi Yuntian were very reluctant to let their child leave so soon, they knew that their child had grown up and had many things to do. It was impossible for him to stay at home all the time. Therefore, the two elders didn't say anything more after a brief reminder.
After that, Jianchen found Xiaotian and the others and told them that he was leaving. When Xiaotian and the others heard that Jianchen was going to develop his own mercenary group, they understood that Changyang Prefecture didn't need them anymore. They said goodbye and planned to leave the Kingdom of Gesun early the next morning and return to the Qin Empire.
Jianchen also visited Ken Xiao San's parents. Jianchen took good care of these two relatives of Uncle Ken Xiao San. However, Jianchen couldn't forget Ken Xiao San's matter. He had wanted to restore Ken Xiao San's damaged Holy Weapon more than once to make up for the guilt in his heart. However, he hadn't found a way to do so.
The next morning, Jianchen hugged the sleeping White Tiger in his arms and gathered with Ming Dong, Tie Ta, Dugu Feng, Yun Zheng, and Senior An in the courtyard of Changyang Prefecture. Due to Jianchen's special status in Changyang Prefecture, all the higher-ups of Changyang Prefecture came out to see them off. Several Class 3 Magical Beast mounts were already prepared outside the gate of Changyang Prefecture. They were quietly waiting at the gate under the guidance of several guards.
"Xiangtian, your second sister, Mingyue, ran away from home a long time ago. We don't know where she went. Although we've sent out a lot of people to look for her, we haven't found any trace of her. You have to help us keep an eye on her when you're outside." Second Aunt Yu Fengyan looked at Jianchen with a pleading expression. Her daughter had been missing for so long without any news. As her mother, she was very worried.
"Second aunt, don't worry. I'll do everything I can to find her." Jianchen said sternly. Changyang Mingyue used to care for him very much. Now that she was missing, Jianchen became rather worried as well.
Bi Yuntian held You Yue's hand and arrived before Jianchen. She said, "Xiang'er, with your strength, you should be able to hold your own outside, so there should be very few people who can harm you. Why don't you take You Yue with you? You Yue grew up in the imperial palace. Aside from a period of time in Kargath Academy, she hasn't had much contact with the outside world. You can take You Yue out to relax this time."
Hearing that, Jianchen glanced at You Yue. He saw that You Yue was wearing a set of tight clothes today. She was dressed very casually, giving off the aura of a chivalrous woman. She was currently standing quietly beside Bi Yuntian with a shy expression on her face. With her appearance, anyone could tell with a single glance that she was prepared for a long journey.
Jian Chen thought about it for a moment, and felt that with their current lineup, they wouldn't encounter too much danger in the Blue Wind Kingdom. Adding on the fact that You Yue was already prepared, it wouldn't be good to refuse, so he might as well agree to this proposal. He smiled and said, "Alright, since You Yue wants to go out and relax, then come with us.
Hearing that, a happy smile appeared on You Yue's face. Ever since she was young, she really hadn't seen much of the outside world.
After Jianchen bid farewell to the people of Changyang Prefecture, the group of seven mounted their magical beast mounts and slowly walked out of Lore City.
After leaving Lore City, Jianchen once again went to the barracks of the Eastern Deity Sword Legion stationed outside of Lore City. He met with Qin Wuming, Qin Wushuang, and Qin Wushuang, and gave them some instructions before leaving on his third grade magical beast mount.
Qin Wuming, Qin Wushuang, and Qin Wushuang stood outside the barracks and watched Jianchen's group leave. When Jianchen's group disappeared from their sight, Qin Wushuang said, "Father, now that the matter in the Kingdom of Gesun has been settled, and the Imperial Protector has also left, when do you think we should withdraw the army?"
Qin Wuming chuckled when he heard that. He said, "It'll be very, very difficult to withdraw the army. With the speed of the army, it'll probably take at least a year to get to the Qin Empire from here. Although the Great Zhou Empire has Space Gates, the amount of monster cores used up is just too shocking."
"Are we just going to keep the army stationed here?" Qin Wujian asked.
Qin Wuming nodded, "That's right. When the king decided to send five hundred thousand soldiers to the Kingdom of Gesun, he didn't plan on taking them back because the Kingdom of Gesun is just too weak, and the Imperial Protector has a special relationship with the Kingdom of Gesun. He can't afford to offend either side. The king did this to support the Kingdom of Gesun as well as to do something for the Imperial Protector. With the Imperial Protector's talent, he'll definitely become a Saint Ruler in the future. It'll be impossible to rope in someone like that without investing some resources."
"So that's how it is. Father, are the three of us going to stay here forever?" Qin Wujian asked.
Qin Wuming chuckled, "It's not a bad thing even if we stay here forever. Saint Rulers are supreme existences, and in their eyes, we Heaven Saint Masters are like ants. They won't take us seriously at all. Right now, the Imperial Protector still hasn't become a Saint Ruler, so this is a rare opportunity for us. If we develop a good relationship with him now, we can ask the Imperial Protector for help when he becomes a Saint Ruler in the future. And once we have the Imperial Protector's support, those people won't dare to act too recklessly in the army."
"I understand. Looks like this is all part of the king's plan. This is indeed an opportunity for us. If the Imperial Protector becomes a Saint Ruler and is willing to support us, then father will become the Grand Marshal in the future." Qin Wuming said with a face full of joy.
Qin Wuming nodded with a smile, "This is what it means to keep the goodies within the family. Your uncle is a wise king. As long as he can control the power, he must firmly grasp it in his hands. Even if he can't control it, he must use all his strength to rope it in."
… …
On the cold and long winding road, the seven-skinned magical beasts were running side by side. They were running at a steady pace, kicking up a layer of dust along the way.
"Changyang Shōten, how long will it take for us to reach the Blue Wind Kingdom at this speed?" Running in the middle, princess You Yue looked at Jianchen and asked.
Jianchen thought for a moment and said, "At this speed, we should be able to reach the Blue Wind Kingdom in two days, but we are not in a hurry."
After hesitating for a moment, Jianchen looked at You Yue and said, "You Yue, from now on, call me Jianchen outside. Don't call me Changyang Shōten."
"Okay, this must be the name you used when you left Changyang Prefecture." Princess You Yue smiled sweetly.
"That's right!" Jianchen nodded.
Tie Ta said, "So you changed your name. No wonder I heard from my teacher that the Changyang Prefecture couldn't find you even after sending so many people. But I think the name Jianchen sounds very nice. Changyang Shōten, from now on, I will call you Jianchen."
The group of people chatted and laughed as they set off towards the Blue Wind Kingdom. When he thought of the mercenary group he once led, Jianchen's thoughts seemed to have flown to the Blue Wind Kingdom's Wake City.
