While Yang Xuan was waiting for his mother to arrive, Yan Shixin was receiving an important guest.
"Grandmaster Zhong, you have come from afar. I hope you can forgive me for not welcoming you." Yan Shixin did not put on the airs of an emperor.
"Your Majesty, what are you saying? I'm here to convey my country's invitation. At the same time, I'm here to visit the new One-Line Heaven expert, Grandmaster Yang." The one who spoke was an old man with a smile on his face. He had white hair and a white beard, wearing hemp clothes and shoes. He did not look like an envoy, but more like a traveler.
"Grandmaster Zhong, please stay here first. We'll give you a reply after our discussion." Yan Shixin's eyes revealed a trace of excitement. He turned to the person behind the old man and asked, "This is?"
"This is the third prince of our Sun Empire, His Highness Jin Xingwen." The old man continued to smile.
"Greetings, Uncle Yan!" Jin Xingwen was a young man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes.
He did not address Yan Shixin as' Your Majesty ', but as' Uncle '.
Yan Shixin's eyes flashed with displeasure, but he concealed it.
After the two left, Yan Shixin pondered for a moment in the hall and suddenly said, "Men, invite Grandmaster Yang, Grandmaster Sun, and Grandmaster Xuan Wen over."
When the messenger eunuch came to the Yang Clan to express his intentions, Yang Xuan felt a bit strange. He did not know why Yan Shixin was looking for him at this time.
However, he still had to give him face.
When Yang Xuan arrived at the palace hall, he found that Sun Linlian and Xuan Wen Li were already there.
"Grandmaster Yang!" Yan Shixin stood up and welcomed him.
Yang Xuan cupped his hands and greeted him, "Your Majesty!"
"Grandmaster Yang!" Sun Linlian and Xuan Wen Li also cupped their hands and greeted Yang Xuan. After Yang Xuan returned the greeting, their gazes landed on Yan Shixin.
"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Yang Xuan asked directly.
Yan Shixin looked at Sun Linlian and Xuan Wen Li and said, "Today, the Sun Empire's Grandmaster Zhong Ming and the third prince came to my Yan Shixin."
Sun Linlian was stunned. A trace of excitement flashed in his eyes and he asked, "Your Majesty, is Grandmaster Zhong here for that matter?"
Yan Shixin nodded and said, "That's right. It's because of that."
When Yang Xuan saw Sun Linlian's excited look, he asked in confusion, "What's the matter?"
Yan Shixin said, "Let's let Master Sun explain."
Sun Lin didn't even decline. "Master Yang, do you know which powerful countries are around my Yan State?"
Yang Xuan shook his head. He really didn't know.
Sun Lin didn't think much of it. "There are countless small countries around Yan, but there are only three powerful empires. They are the Sun Wheel Empire, the North Moon Empire, and the Gu Zhen Empire. Grandmaster Yang, do you know why these three empires can become the three strongest countries? "
Xuan Wenli already had a pensive look on his face, but Yang Xuan was still confused.
Sun Lin Lian didn't beat around the bush and directly said, "Grandmaster Yang, the reason why these three countries are called Empires is because they have One-Line Heaven experts overseeing them."
Yang Xuan finally understood. However, he still didn't understand what this had to do with the people from the Sun Wheel Empire.
Yan Shixin said, "These three empires have formed the Three Nation Alliance and dominate the north. The other small countries have to pay tribute to the three empires every year. My Yan State is no exception. But now … "He looked at Yang Xuan with a strange expression on his face.
Yang Xuan suddenly understood. In the past, his Yan State didn't have a One-Line Heaven expert overseeing it, so he had to pay tribute. Now that he had advanced to One-Line Heaven, he naturally didn't have to pay tribute.
Sun Lin Lian looked at Yang Xuan and understood. He couldn't help but smile. "Grandmaster Yang, it's because of your existence that from now on, my Yan State doesn't have to pay tribute to other countries. Not only that, but after joining the four nation alliance, we will also renegotiate the sphere of influence with the other three empires."
"That's right!" Yan Shixin's face was filled with excitement. "This time, the Sun Wheel Empire sent an envoy to invite Grandmaster Yang to join the four nation alliance and renegotiate the sphere of influence."
Only then did Yang Xuan come to a realization.
"Grandmaster Yang, this is a good thing. This is a good thing that I, Yan State, haven't been waiting for for for thousands of years." Sun Lin Lian's face turned red. "From now on, my Yan State can be called the Great Yan Empire."
"Grandmaster Yang, this time I still need you to help me fight for a bigger sphere of influence for my Yan State." Yan Shixin directly left his seat and bowed deeply. "From now on, the tribute that I pay every year will be directly given to the Yang family."
Yang Xuan was stunned. The tribute that Yan State gave every year was definitely a huge number. He didn't expect Yan Shixin to directly give it to the Yang family.
But after thinking about it, he understood. With Yang Xuan's appearance, the Yan Country would join the alliance of four countries. After the realignment of their sphere of influence, they would receive unimaginable benefits. The original portion of the tribute would not be considered much.
This was a good thing. If Yan State became stronger, his Yang family would naturally rise.
Nodding, Yang Xuan directly asked, "When do we leave?"
Yan Shixin thought for a moment. "How about seven days later? At that time, Grandmaster Yang and Grandmaster Sun will go together. Grandmaster Xuanwen will take care of Yan State. "
Sun Lin Lian and Xuanwen Li nodded at the same time.
Yang Xuan calculated. In two days, his mother would come to Yanjing. He would accompany her for two or three days before leaving for Sunwheel State. The time would be just right.
"Okay!" Yang Xuan directly agreed.
In the following time, Yang Xuan continued to teach Little Que 'er while waiting for his mother to arrive.
He hadn't seen his mother in a long time. If it wasn't for Yang Qingshan, he wouldn't have thought of bringing his mother to Yanjing.
As for going to Sunwheel State, Yan Shixin and Sun Lin Lian naturally prepared it. He didn't need to worry at all. He just needed to leave when the time came.
On this day, a carriage appeared on the official road two miles away from Yanjing City.
The carriage was beautifully decorated and was pulled by two horses.
Behind the carriage were a dozen strong men dressed as martial artists. They kept looking around, and it was obvious that they were protecting the person in the carriage.
At that moment, a slightly old voice came from the carriage.
"Yanjing City is in front, right?" The voice belonged to a woman. She sounded very gentle.
Beside the carriage, a strong man in martial arts clothes rode forward and stood side by side with the carriage. He said respectfully, "Madam, Yanjing City is in front."
"Sigh, we're finally here. This road is really long. Let's go. "The woman in the city sighed.
The strong man didn't say anything else. He just urged everyone to continue forward.
At that moment, the rumbling sound of horse hooves came from behind.
The strong man turned around and his eyes froze.
On the official road behind him, there were dozens of riders. They were all dressed in martial arts clothes and holding bows. Some of them had wild animals tied to their horses. They should have returned from hunting.
"The carriage in front, get out of the way!" The rider in front saw that there was a carriage blocking the way, but he didn't slow down at all. He directly charged over.
The strong man's expression changed. The person in the carriage was of noble status. How could he allow others to collide with him?
"Men, stop quickly. Everyone, don't make a mistake!" The strong man suddenly shouted. He had already ordered the other martial artists to stop him. He unsheathed his long saber.
"You don't know what's good for you!" The face of the rider in front turned cold. He actually drew his bow and shot an arrow over.
Everyone's expression changed. They didn't expect that there would be such a domineering person in this world. He didn't say anything and directly shot an arrow.
The arrow flew over and went straight for the strong man's face. It was a killing blow.
"Hmph, how dare you block our way. You really deserve to die." The rider in front sneered.
The strong man blocked the arrow with his saber and said, "Impudent, we are …"
In the next moment, his expression changed drastically, and he swallowed the words he was about to say.
The dozens of riders in front of him actually drew their bows and arrows at the same time. They didn't say anything and directly shot over.
"Protect the madam!" The strong man shouted. His eyes were about to crack.
The dozens of guards' expressions changed. They surrounded the carriage and blocked the arrows with their sabers.
However, the riders on the horses didn't stop at all. They continued to shoot arrows.
In just a few moments, seven or eight guards had fallen to the ground. Even the leader of the group had been hit by several arrows.
When the guards fell, the carriage was exposed. Suddenly, a few arrows went straight for the carriage.
"Swish swish swish!"
Several long arrows directly penetrated the wooden planks of the carriage and shot into it.
"Madam …" The strong man screamed. He tried to rush to the carriage, but it was too late.
The rider in front sneered. He directly rode his horse forward, drew his long sword, and opened the curtain of the carriage.
He saw a woman sitting in the carriage. She had a kind face and was looking at him blankly.
A long arrow pierced through her chest and blood flowed out.
