The Great Xia Dynasty was in turmoil.
The news spread far and wide, but Su Yu didn't care much about it.
At this moment, he walked into a big city and stopped in his tracks.
It was December 30th, and the sky was getting dark.
At this moment, the city was brightly lit.
Cheers and laughter spread, and the sound of firecrackers crackled.
It was the New Year!
Today was the last day of the 350th year of Anping. Tomorrow would be the 351st year.
Some children were playing on the street. Su Yu walked on the street while Dendrolimus and Rhinoceros Borer followed behind, looking around curiously.
At this moment, Su Yu felt a little empty and lonely.
In the past, he would celebrate the New Year with his father in Southern Yuan.
But today, he was walking alone on the bustling streets of a foreign land, not knowing a single person.
How was Father?
What about Teacher and the others?
How were Senior Sister and Uncle-Master?
Su Yu thought as he walked, feeling a little absent-minded.
On the road, there were pedestrians in a hurry. Some glanced at him curiously, but they quickly left without paying much attention.
Su Yu walked very far, found a small tavern that was still open, and walked in.
He missed home and his father, even though it had only been a few days since he left Southern Yuan.
...
On the battlefield of heavens.
At the encampment of the second legion of the Demon Suppression Army.
Today was the New Year!
Although there was no big celebration, the army was also having a meal today. Huge monsters were roasted, and laughter could be heard. Apart from the prohibition of alcohol, the soldiers could also relax and have a good New Year.
The soldiers were weathered, but they were overjoyed. Another year of Anping had passed, and the Da Xia Province had enjoyed 350 years of peace. There was no war in the rear.
Su Long ate the meat in big mouthfuls and only felt comfortable.
He just missed his son a little!
Beside him was the familiar Centurion Liu. Su Long snorted as he ate the meat, "Old Liu, it's too late for you to chase after your daughter! Do you know that my son is a super genius? "
Centurion Liu said faintly, "Are you sure that Su Yu, who created the Unity Aperture Technique, is your son? Su Long, don't flatter yourself. These days, there are many people with the same name and surname. How do you know it's your son? "
"Hehe, definitely!"
Su Long grinned Bare One's Teeth. "My son has been smart since he was young! You didn't see it last time, but didn't that lord hear it from others? A Mountain Sea Realm expert! I asked around, that's my son's grandmaster … Heh heh, do you think my son is a peerless genius? "
The Combined Orifices Method had begun to spread among the army.
Although the advanced version was still restricted, the 18 aperture low-level version was now available for free in the military.
A large number of people began to cultivate!
Su Long Bare One's Teeth grinned for a while and said with some regret, "It's a pity that I can't go back for the New Year. I don't know where my son will be this year … Maybe he'll be spending the New Year at his father-in-law's place."
The people around him couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Your son has only been in school for half a year, and he's already going to spend the New Year with his father-in-law?
You're really daring!
Old Liu hit him even harder. "Your son might be punished by the teacher right now. Also, your son might not be that Su Yu. Don't flatter yourself. Be careful that Su Yu really comes looking for trouble and says he's your son all day long …"
In any case, he didn't really believe it. Or rather, not many people in the army believed it.
Su Long's son was called Su Yu, and it was quite a coincidence that he had joined the Great Xia Civilization University. But Su Long's son had only been in school for half a year, and you said he was your son?
He felt that Su Long was bragging!
Su Long panicked and shouted at the chiliarch, "Lord Hu, is the person who created the Combined Orifices Method called Su Yu from the Great Xia Civilization University? Is he my son?"
"…"
On the other side, the chiliarch laughed and said, "I know the first two, but the last one … I don't know. Su Long, don't shout all day long. If it's true, you're awesome. If it's not, you're making up stories about him being your son. Be careful that the Civilization Master comes looking for trouble with you!"
"Of course! Lord Hu, why don't you ask around and see if he's a new student? "
The chiliarch laughed and said, "How can I ask around? Who can I ask? It's good enough that there's some basic information about that kind of genius. How can I ask how old he is and if he has a father called Su Long? "
"Hahaha …"
All around, the soldiers burst into laughter.
Su Long was depressed. He took a big bite of meat. Forget it, believe it or not, I believe it anyway.
He's my son!
Old Liu laughed and said, "Old Su, didn't you say that your son was only at the third tier of Kaiyuan when you left? Let me see, it's less than nine months since you came here, right? "
I just don't believe you!
Your son was only at the third tier of Kaiyuan nine months ago!
Su Long ignored him. On the other side, the chiliarch laughed and said, "This genius Su Yu doesn't seem that old. Old Liu, don't always make fun of him. If he's really Old Su's son, you won't be able to curry favor with him in the future. Whether he is or not, first get close to Old Su!"
"Hahaha …"
The chiliarch's words caused another round of laughter from the surrounding soldiers.
Su Long was depressed. What did he mean by whether he was or not?
He definitely was!
When he heard this, he felt that it was his son, and mumbled, "This cultivation technique is called the Twin Wu Acupoint Closure Technique. Did my son find me two wives?"
"…"
"Maybe the Twin Wu's are two men!"
Old Liu mocked him again, and laughter sounded again.
At this moment, the voice transmission talisman on the chiliarch's waist flickered. Soon, the chiliarch said in surprise, "Quiet down, everyone. It seems that some higher-ups will come to visit later. Yo, our Thousand-Man Guard, someone finally remembered today!"
Old Liu laughed and said, "High-ups? Who? Could it be a general? "
"What are you thinking?!"
The chiliarch rolled his eyes. A general was a great elite of the Sun Moon Tier, and he would come to visit a mere Thousand-Man Guard?
However, it was a message from the chiliarch, so it was probably not just the chiliarch who would come. Could it be that a great elite of the Mountain and Sea Tier was coming?
"Everyone, tidy up and leave a good impression on the higher-ups. Su Long, stop eating, your mouth is dripping with oil. If that Acupoint Closure Technique was really created by your son, the higher-ups might know about it. I'll ask around for you later …"
Su Long hurriedly wiped his mouth, and said with a chuckle, "Okay, Lord Hu, you'll definitely ask around for me later. If it's really my son, Old Liu will kneel down and lick my shoes later!"
"Hahaha …"
Laughter sounded again!
They were laughing and joking. At the same time, not far away, a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance strode forward. Behind him, there were many experts.
At this moment, the man was frowning.
His expression was cold!
As he walked, he said in a low voice, "What's going on in Da Xia Province?! They've thrown this mess to us! It's the New Year, how am I going to explain to my brothers? "
The man was a little angry. "This Su Long, whether it's a promotion or a reward, it's not a problem, but how am I going to tell him? Tell him that his son was ambushed and killed, and had to flee Da Xia Province to enter the Ming Constabulary! "
"General …"
Someone behind him said in a low voice, "Before the news spreads in the army, we must quickly stabilize the morale of the army. We must appease Su Long. Su Long is a veteran, and his former comrades are now in the Second Legion. There are three captains of major and five captains of chiliarchs. In the Second Legion, Deputy General Chen Long was also his former comrade …"
The middle-aged man was slightly shocked. "Chen Long too?"
"Yes!"
As he spoke, a figure in a general's uniform shot over, followed by more than ten people.
It was Chen Long who had just been mentioned!
At this moment, this expert of the new generation who had just entered the Mountain and Sea Realm had a cold expression on his face. He landed on the ground, bowed, and said in a low voice, "General greets the General!"
18 years!
From Qianjun to the Mountain and Sea Realm!
18 years, countless deaths, from a soldier to the position of deputy general of the legion. Chen Long was one of the most outstanding generals in the Demon Suppression Army in recent years.
At this moment, his face, which was usually full of smiles, was livid.
"General, are you here to see Su Long?"
Chen Long said coldly, "Are you here to capture Big Brother Su? Is it his son? My nephew has defected to the Da Xia Province, and his father will also be implicated, so I have to capture him to threaten my nephew? "
Chen Long gritted his teeth, looked at the General who was usually incomparably respectful, and said in a muffled voice, "General, 18 years ago, Big Brother Su was fighting on the front lines. 18 years later, he returned to work for the Da Xia Province, and this is how he ended up?"
"Is this how the Demon Suppression Army, the Da Xia Province, treats meritorious service?"
Chen Long was furious. Behind him, the experts of the Soar Ling Yunjing glared at him.
Anger!
At this moment, the news had only spread among the higher-ups, but Chen Long already knew that Su Yu had been attacked and had left the Da Xia Province. He had been attacked by the Sun and Moon Emperor, and had been forced to flee the Da Xia Province.
At this moment, did the General personally come to capture Su Long?
To force Su Yu to return?
Or for something else?
For the ruins?
Chen Long couldn't restrain his anger.
The General of the Demon Suppression Army sighed. "I'm very sorry about what happened to Su Yu. Little Chen, you know me. As for Su Long, don't misunderstand. The Da Xia Province has already made a decision to kill several Mountain and Sea Realm experts. In addition, Su Long will be promoted to colonel, and given resources to quickly enter the Soar Province. He will also be rewarded with Fiendgod blood essence...."
Hearing this, Chen Long wasn't so angry. However, he still couldn't help but ask, "What about my nephew?"
"This...."
The General sighed. "Do you think that Su Yu will return? At this point, even if Xia Jia wants him to return, will he? Do you really think that the master of the Ming Constabulary is just passing by? Do you really think that the appearance of so many Mountain and Sea Realm experts was an accident? Your nephew... probably made a decision long ago, and contacted the Ming Constabulary. The Ming Constabulary values him enough that their master, Zhu Tiandao, personally welcomed him and killed many experts for him. "
They weren't commoners, so how could they believe in coincidences?
It was a plan all along!
What a plan to lure the snake out of its hole! Su Yu had killed 12 Mountain and Sea Realm experts and two Sun and Moon Realm experts in one fell swoop.
Chen Long didn't say anything. Just as the General had said, it seemed that Su Yu wouldn't return.
"That's something the Da Xia Province created!"
Chen Long said, still angry and dissatisfied. "Shan Shenwen's people... hmph!"
He snorted coldly, then looked behind the General. "General Chen, please don't take your anger out on us. We didn't know anything either. Most of us had already given up on the Realm of Mortals Battlefield. How could we have known that things would turn out like this?!"
It wasn't as if no one from Shan Shenwen's people had been sent to the Realm of Mortals Battlefield.
With things turning out like this, many people were speechless and depressed.
They had lost face in all the heavens and the myriad worlds!
A large-scale defection!
The General of the Devil Suppression Army took a deep breath and said, "Let's not talk about this. Go. Before news of this spreads, we can't let the morale of the army be shaken. Everyone... I know you're all angry and sullen, but we're still on the front lines. If morale is shaken and Wan attacks, we'll be throwing away the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers!"
After saying this, the General of the Devil Suppression Army added, "When I have a chance to return to Da Xia Province, I'll demand an explanation! But for now, let's calm the morale of the army. Before news of this spreads, let's calm Su Long. Little Chen, you're his old comrade, so I'll need you to calm him down later. "
Chen Long was a bit irritated, and said in a low voice, "Big Brother Su doesn't need to be calmed down. He'll get over it! But Da Xia Province forced Su Yu to flee, and it chilled the hearts of the soldiers and soldiers. I think this matter will cause trouble in the future! "
The General didn't say much. He was also angry about this matter, but some things had already happened, and couldn't be changed.
It wasn't easy for Da Xia Province to make a decision so quickly.
......
A moment later.
Centurion Hu was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly shouted, "Greetings, General!"
What a big shot!
Damn!
What wind blew so many high-ranking members of the Devil Suppression Army here today?
From the General to the Mountain and Sea Commanders and Deputy Generals, a large number of people were here.
Su Long and the others also put down their food and saluted, looking curiously at the big shots. Why were there so many big shots in the small Thousand-Man Guard today?
While Su Long was still curious, he saw an old acquaintance and glanced at Chen Long. Bare One's Teeth smiled, but when he saw Chen Long's gloomy face, he couldn't help but curse inwardly, 'Little brat, you've struck it rich. Are you giving me face now?
Hmph!
If you ignore me, I'll ignore you! '
Not only Chen Long, but there were also quite a few old brothers there. Su Long was also happy, but when he saw their gloomy expressions, he felt a little strange. It wasn't that little brat Chen Long giving them face, but something big had happened?
Su Long was a little puzzled, but he was only a centurion, and it wasn't appropriate for him to reminisce at this moment, so he didn't say anything.
On the other side, Centurion Hu said a few simple words and began to wait for the General's instructions.
The General of the Devil Suppression Army didn't say anything. He looked around, looked at Su Long, and said softly, "Centurion Su, step forward!"
Su Long looked around. 'What about me?
I'm a little nervous! '
He stepped forward, saluted, and said loudly, "Su Long greets the General, greets the generals!"
The General of the Devil Suppression Army glanced at him, and after a moment, said, "Da Xia Province decrees that Su Long will be promoted to chiliarch, and rewarded with 10 drops of blood essence of gods and demons …"
Boom!
All around, the generals and soldiers were stunned!
'What's going on?'
Su Long's mind instantly went blank. 'What's going on?
'What … did I do?'
Su Long was already in a daze, and didn't hear the follow-up. After a long time, he forced himself to wake up, and even after a long time, he didn't know what had happened.
At this moment, the General didn't speak again, and Chen Long looked at his old captain, a little embarrassed, but still said, "Big Brother Su, come with me."
Su Long followed him to the side in a daze. 'Why did you call me?'
…
After a few minutes, Su Long was no longer in a daze, and his expression became calm again. He said dryly, "A Yu, he … went to the Ming Constabulary?"
"Yes."
"Is he okay?"
"He's fine, he's very safe. The Ming Constabulary's master thinks very highly of him, and personally killed many Sun Moon and Mountain Sea realm experts for him."
Chen Long said in a low voice, "Big Brother Su, calm down. When we return, we will definitely get an explanation. We won't let this matter go so easily …"
Su Long Bare One's Teeth forced a smile. "It's fine, it's fine, as long as he's fine! Didn't this Da Xia Province kill a lot of Mountain Sea realm experts? My son … he's really powerful, really powerful … "
As he spoke, he said somewhat dryly, "That's right, it's the New Year. Where is A Yu now? Is he at the Ming Constabulary? What's he going to eat tonight … Does he have a place to stay? "
As he spoke, the burly man's tears flowed uncontrollably. "That little brat has never left Southern Yuan in his life. It wasn't easy for him to go to Da Xia Province, and he's probably not familiar with Da Xia Province yet. Now that he's gone to the Ming Constabulary, does he know anyone?"
"Who's going to take care of him?"
"Little Chen, don't you think so?"
Chen Long didn't say anything. Su Long said dryly, "What chiliarch? How could I accept the Fiendgod's blood essence? It's too precious! If I accept it, it'll be a waste … "
"Big Brother, you … should just accept it. Otherwise, if news of this spreads, I'm worried …"
"Worried … about the morale of the army?" Su Long Bare One's Teeth said, "Placate Su Yu's father? Did I … sell my son in exchange for this? "
"I handed my son over to Da Xia Province, to Xia Jia. In the end, within a few months, my son was gone …"
Su Long grinned. He wasn't crying or laughing, but his expression was extremely complicated. "My son suddenly ran to the Ming Constabulary, and there are so many people who want to kill him. Little Chen, who did my son offend?"
"Big Brother … I'm sorry."
"What are you sorry for? It has nothing to do with you."
Su Long gritted his teeth and smiled. "Fine, I'll accept it! I've sold my son in exchange for this. I have to accept it, but I won't accept it … Da Xia Province might think that I have some complaints, but I don't, I don't have any complaints … I'm just wondering if that little brat has eaten yet? It's the New Year, he needs to eat something … "
Su Long Bare One's Teeth wiped away his tears and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's really okay. It's just that I'm useless as a father. If I were the sun and moon, the mountains and seas … would my little brat be fine?"
"I'm just a good-for-nothing Wan Shi, a Wan Shi with 36 apertures opened … I want the Blood of Gods and Demons. It's a treasure. If I can enter Soar, that'll be awesome …"
As he rambled on, Bare One's Teeth grinned and looked at Chen Long. He said with a smile, "Little Chen, I'm fine. Isn't my little brat fine? That's good. Even a big shot like the Mansion Master values him. The Ming Constabulary is just next door. My Southern Yuan is close to the Ming Constabulary … It's not too far. "
"Big Brother Su …"
"I'm really fine!"
The next moment, Su Long turned around and returned to the formation. He said loudly, "Su Long, receive the order! Thank you for the reward! "
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned to look at his teammates who were still in shock and shouted, "This is the glory my son has earned for me! My son is that Su Yu, the Su Yu who created the Fused Aperture Technique! A peerless genius! "
"The General is right here. What I said is true. Is there anyone who still doesn't believe me?"
The soldiers around him were still in a daze.
Su Long Bare One's Teeth said with a smile, "He's just too much of a genius. The Mansion Master of the Ming Constabulary took a fancy to him and brought him back to the Ming Constabulary. Maybe next time, I'll be a relative of the Zhu family of the Ming Constabulary, hahaha!"
Many people were shocked. What did he mean?
Some people didn't understand. They muttered in their hearts, "Did the Zhu family take a fancy to him and he's going to be their son-in-law?"
Su Long shared the news with a smile. The General of the Demon-subduing Army sighed softly. Su Long … was still very sensible.
Once these words were spoken, even if the news spread, the impact would be greatly reduced.
Su Yu's father was already joking that his son was going to be a son-in-law, and the Zhu family probably wouldn't mind him saying so. With these words, the matter of Su Yu entering the Ming Constabulary was temporarily stabilized.
As for what Su Long was thinking, there was still resentment, so the General of the Demon-subduing Army couldn't say anything more.
…
The Ming Constabulary.
In the tavern, Su Yu was eating and smiling. He poured a cup of wine for Commissioner Hou, who was sitting opposite him. "Commissioner, I've troubled you. It's the New Year, but you still have to accompany me to waste time here."
Commissioner Hou smiled lightly. "It's quite good. I've lived for a long time, and I've become indifferent to the New Year."
"Commissioner, you're in the Sun Moon Tier?"
"Mm-hm."
"You're amazing!"
Su Yu flattered, and said with a smile, "Commissioner, do you think I'll be ostracized when I arrive at the Tiandu Prefecture?"
"You won't."
Commissioner Hou thought for a while, and said after some deliberation, "If there are no accidents, you'll be watched for a while when you arrive at the Tiandu Prefecture, and then … you'll all go home."
Yes, that's it!
Young man, don't think too much.
You'll be watched, and then someone will exclaim, 'Is this that Su Yu?'
Amazing!
So powerful!
A genius!
Then … there's no then. After the exclamation, they'll leave. Today, a certain teacher is showing off his new results, and it seems that he's developed a kind of Shenwen that can automatically brew wine without the need for raw materials. Amazing, I have to go and see!
As for Su Yu … Oh, amazing, really amazing. But how should I outline the automatic brewing Shenwen?
Su Yu listened to him, and was a little dazed. Soon, he understood, and nodded.
That's right, the Ming Constabulary … was really a salted fish.
He didn't even know if he was right to choose the Ming Constabulary!
Not to mention anything else, just the people coming and going in this big city didn't give him a second look. Even if he was riding a beast, so what?
What does it have to do with me?
If I have the time, why don't I go and do something else?
"Commissioner, are there many Civilization Academies in the Ming Constabulary?"
"Not bad, there are three."
Commissioner Hou smiled. "The Civilization Academy of the Ming Constabulary, how should I put it … Let me put it this way, the principal of the Great Ming Civilization Academy, Niu Baidao, is the first principal."
Su Yu was stunned.
"First. Do you know what that means?"
Commissioner Hou coughed. "There are more old people in the academy, and the death rate is not high, unlike the Great Xia Civilization University, where the principal has changed six generations!"
I understand!
Su Yu nodded, understanding. The first principal is still alive, I'm convinced. So the civilizationists of the Ming Constabulary don't go to the battlefield?
"Commissioner, will there be too many people, and the resources will not be enough …"
"No." Commissioner Hou shook his head.
Commissioner Hou shook his head. "How can that be? There are a lot of people, but they are not strong, and the consumption is not high. Plus, they make all sorts of things all day long, so they can sell them and earn a lot."
Then, he explained, "For example, the televisions and communication devices you use are produced by the Ming Constabulary. They are all created by the major academies. "Also, the Ming Constabulary actually sells weapons, and their production of standard weapons is not bad. Da Xia Province imports from us, but Da Xia Province consumes too much, and we have too much left …"
He continued, "Also, some of the Writings of Will that appear on the market … I mean the ones that feel very weak, most of them are produced by the Ming Constabulary. Some fellows have nothing better to do, and when they reach the Soar level, they may cultivate hundreds of random techniques and then sell the Writings of Will …"
"…"
Su Yu did not say anything.
Commissioner Hou continued, "The Ming Constabulary does not release many powerful techniques, but there are many weaker ones. They can also receive a lot of patent fees every year. For example, thirty percent of the yellow-grade techniques that are commonly seen on the market now come from the Ming Constabulary."
Alright, Su Yu was convinced.
"Then the Ming Civilization Academy can support itself?"
"You can say that!"
Commissioner Hou nodded with a smile. "These fellows forced the Scientific Research Academy to close down. It can't be helped. The Ming Constabulary does not have a Scientific Research Academy. There used to be one, but they annexed it … It's not annexation. Old Cow did not want it, but the Scientific Research Academy offered it, and they had no choice but to accept it."
"…"
Su Yu had nothing to say.
That was true. They had already done what they wanted, so what was the point of having a Scientific Research Academy?
"What about the War Academy?"
"This one is replaced faster. There have been five generations of principals," Commissioner Hou said helplessly.
"The War Academy is mainly responsible for war. You can tell from the name, but the death rate is much lower than that of Da Xia Province."
"Does the Civilization Academy have a secret realm?"
"Yes …"
Commissioner Hou said strangely, "There are quite a few. There are a few Sun Moon Tiers, and some secret realms … may not have been left by the Sun and Moon Tiers. Some mountains and seas can actually leave some semi-secret realms."
"Are there Origin Qi Secret Realms and Sea of Consciousness Secret Realms?"
Commissioner Hou hesitated, coughed, and said, "Your few secret realms are more special and difficult to replicate! Of course, we have similar secret realms, but the Ming Constabulary has a few that are more popular … "
"Commissioner, can you introduce them to me?"
"Yes!" Commissioner Hou said with a smile, "For example, the Myriad Wine Realm. This is a good secret realm. You can't believe it when you enter. You can produce 10,000 different flavors of wine out of thin air. It's really a paradise for drunkards …"
"For example, the Hundred Beauties Realm, hehe … cough, cough, not the Hundred Beauties Realm, but the Hundred Tribes Realm. In there, you can chat with the women of 100 races … cough, cough, it's martial arts …"
"For example, the Music Palace Realm. Once you enter, it's a great enjoyment in life. You can listen to different kinds of beautiful music … cough, cough, you can kill with sound, but it's not a complete enjoyment."
"For example …"
Su Yu drank. He didn't want to listen anymore.
The Ming Constabulary … the Ming Constabulary, he was convinced.
Just the names of these secret realms were enough to convince him. The civilizationists of the Ming Constabulary were simply a bunch of weirdos!
Compared to the Da Xia Province … there was no way to compare.
As for whether it was good or bad, it was hard to say. He just felt that once the civilizationists of the Ming Constabulary and the Da Xia Province started fighting, they would most likely be finished.
"What about the Shenwen Division? Is it strong? "
"That's alright!"
Commissioner Hou heaved a sigh of relief. "The Shenwen Division of the Da Xia Province isn't weak. The Ming Constabulary isn't weak either. Their attacking power might be a little weak, but our Shenwen Division has many tricks up its sleeve!"
The so-called "many tricks up its sleeve" referred to the fact that the Shenwen Division was very complicated. In any case, there were many fellows from the Ming Constabulary who knew a lot of Shenwen Divisions. Of course, it was very messy and not systematic. Even when they reached Soar, there was still a group of people who were constantly outlining Shenwen Divisions.
One Shenwen Division brewed wine, another Shenwen Division played music. If it was another Shenwen Division, it could cook by itself. If it was another Shenwen Division, it could have a doppelganger appear to help clean up. If it was another Shenwen Division, it could even give you a massage …
"We can't synthesize combat techniques after Soar. Otherwise … the Ming Constabulary can produce tens of thousands of civilizationists from the Shenwen Division!"
Commissioner Hou smiled with a face full of smiles. Wasn't this powerful?
There were many of them in the Shenwen Division.
Of course, their combat power was still up for discussion.
"…"
Su Yu nodded. He was convinced!
