Chapter 285

Compared to the northwest, Rong City's climate was considered mild. It wasn't particularly cold at this time of the year.

Shen Liuyun followed the guidance of a guard and entered the Marshal's Mansion.

The Marshal's Mansion's structure was very simple. There were only two courtyards, and the only special thing about it was that the backyard was filled with green bamboos. Beside the green bamboos were two bamboo houses.

Not to mention the surrounding environment, just this small space alone was enough to be called fresh and elegant.

Shen Liuyun only took a few glances at it and felt very natural and comfortable. She was full of anticipation for the upcoming meeting.

She walked briskly to one of the bamboo houses and the guard called out softly, "Marshal, the Commander of the Jin Wu Guards, Shen Liuyun is here."

"Let her in." An old and bold voice rang out.

Shen Liuyun stepped onto the bamboo steps and gently pushed the bamboo door open. She saw a barefooted old man sitting on the ground near the window. There was a charcoal stove on the short table in front of him, and the kettle on the stove was gurgling.

"General Shen Liuyun pays respect to Old Marshal Zhang." She recognized this old man. When she saw the kind and honest smile on his face, she was instantly filled with respect.

It was this old man who had been guarding the border for more than ten years. He was called the "Wall of the Northern Kingdom" by the foreign tribes. One could imagine how rare this honor was.

His attire was very simple. He wore a dark grey short-sleeved shirt with his trousers rolled up. If he were to wear a bamboo hat, he would look like an old farmer.

His expression was leisurely and carefree, like a person who was doing his favorite thing. There was no sign of the dignified expression of a supreme commander on the eve of a war.

Shen Liuyun's mood also relaxed.

"When I left for Rong City, Brother Shen personally came to see me off. That was the first time I met you." Zhang Zhidong gestured with his hand and smiled. "I didn't expect that more than ten years had passed in the blink of an eye. You've grown so much. Brother Shen's biggest wish when he was alive was to stabilize the country. It couldn't be better for you to fulfill his last wish. "

Shen Liuyun sat down and smiled reservedly. "My father mentioned you many times when he was alive. He said that you were the only one who could 'stabilize the country'. How can I, Liuyun, need you to guide me on the right path? "

"Even I have to admit," Zhang Zhidong sighed, "The arrival of the Jin Wu Guards instilled a strong sense of confidence in the people in the city. This is something that even I can't do."

Shen Liuyun had also heard the rumor that Zhang Zhidong didn't like cultivators. He said, "If I may be so bold, a cultivator is like a double-edged sword. The pros and cons depend on the user. The imperial court established the academy and strengthened the control over the cultivators, maintaining the world in the world... of. of cultivators, cultivators and cultivators..

"I understand what you mean." Zhang Zhidong said, "The pillars of the empire, such as Qingzhou Provincial Governor Chen Ping, are all outstanding cultivators. They are loyal to His Majesty and the imperial court. I can see that. However, cultivators are taken from the people and used for the people. Because of the strong demand for cultivators, their status is rising day by day. I'm afraid there will be a time when the imperial court can't suppress them. "

At this point, he smiled and changed the topic. "However, this is a problem you need to worry about. I don't have many years left to live, so I don't need to worry about this. Come, come, come. Try the tea I brewed."

Speaking of tea, his eyebrows naturally melted as if he was tasting the world's best delicacy. He talked non-stop.

Chen Liuyun would occasionally add in a few words of his own, and the old and the young chatted happily.

However, halfway through, a guard hurried over. "Reporting to Marshal, something bad has happened. General Dai is fighting with someone at the city gate again."

Zhang Zhidong raised his eyebrows and said, "Then put him in jail to reflect on his actions."

"But, but …" The guard hesitated.

"But what?"

"But General Qu also fought. We don't know whether that person is dead or alive. He seems to be from the academy …"

…

At the city gate.

The strong scent of a man invaded Ji Zhiyuan's body and mind. She was embarrassed and annoyed. She glared at Yan Li and spoke angrily through telepathy. "Have you forgotten what I said?"

Yan Li went all out in order to take advantage of her. He pretended not to hear and hugged her even tighter. Then, with a careless look, he provoked, "You two listen to me. Let me enter the city today. If not, I'll beat you up until your parents can't recognize you!" He had to intensify the conflict quickly. Otherwise, there was no telling what Ji Zhiyuan would do.

"This little bastard! Big Brother, watch how I deal with him! " The General Dai swung his tail. The spear in his hand flashed with sparks and smashed toward Yan Li's head.

Yan Li held the Xuan Jun with his left hand and blocked it. The carriage immediately shattered. Only then did he know that the other party was not a nobody. He was curious why he had never heard of him before.

The frightened horses dragged the wreckage of the carriage and galloped to both sides.

Yan Li's mind moved and his body moved at the same time. He grabbed Ji Zhiyuan's waist and leaped backward, then put her down. His naughty thoughts arose again and he kissed her cheek. He smiled evilly and said, "Little wife, wait until I've dealt with these two blind things, then I'll take you to have fun." Dirty words really came out of his mouth as soon as he opened it. Then, he pinched her perky, fleshy buttocks.

Ji Zhiyuan seemed to be stunned after being molested repeatedly. The struggling expression on her face disappeared in an instant. Her eyes were empty and her little mouth opened stiffly. Her whole body was tense and she did not move.

"Bastard, give me your life!" The other man was furious. The scene in front of him was like a slap in the face to him who valued discipline as much as his life. He took out a pair of hammers that were also flashing with sparks from nowhere and pounced with the General Dai.

The two of them did not have any technique when they fought, but their weapons were very strange. They were both of the same attribute. After being electrocuted, one's arm felt numb and it was very uncomfortable. Moreover, one was braver than the other and one was fiercer than the other. For a moment, Yan Li could only defend.

Yan Li thought that he was a famous figure on the Prodigy Roll. How could he be suppressed by these unorthodox people? He was about to teach them a lesson when he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

The surrounding air suddenly became very illusory. Even the battle cries of the two brothers became very weak.

He subconsciously turned his head to look at Ji Zhiyuan. The latter's face was flushed red. Seeing that Yan Li was looking at her, she could not hold back the anger in her heart. In the Qi field, in the domain that only Yan Li could hear, she shouted, "Go to hell!"

The two brothers were suddenly startled, because the lightning on their artifacts had abruptly increased to a level that even they themselves found inconceivable.
