I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 266 Messenger! Prime minister? Strong walls and clear fields!

Chapter 266 Messenger! Prime minister? Strong walls and clear fields!
The temple is majestic.

The huge statue of the Witch God carries a nine-headed demon bird on its shoulders, with a bit of ferocious aura in its sacredness.

In comparison, the rickety back figure standing under the statue of the god with his hands behind his back looked old and small.

If the guide had not stepped forward and bowed to salute, Sun Zhang and his party would have thought that the figure under the statue was just an ordinary sweeper in the temple.

"Great witch, the envoy has arrived."

The ricket back seemed to be looking up at the statue of the god. He didn't look back, and only gave a slight hum as a response.

Seeing that it was the rightful master in person, Sun Zhang was convinced, then he straightened his clothes and bowed.

"The envoy of the Great Yong Champion has seen the Great Witch of the Holy Mountain!"

Perhaps he had rehearsed it in his mind too many times, but Sun Zhang's words at this moment were sonorous and powerful.

His demeanor is neither humble nor arrogant.

The Holy Mountain Zhike who had retreated to the side looked at the awe-inspiring and calm look on Sun Zhang's face, and couldn't help but have a flash of surprise in his eyes.

After all, if you really want to talk about it, let alone his mere Xianyuan Realm, even the Seventh Realm True Immortal is nothing more than an ant that can be easily crushed to death in front of the Great Witch.

And why is he so... calm?
At this time, Sun Zhang certainly didn't know what Na Zhike was thinking. He only knew that since he had the title of [Messenger], he represented the Marquis.

Any behavior that makes a fool of oneself or makes a fool of oneself will bring disgrace to the Marquis.

In that case, he would not be able to escape the blame for Sun Zhangwan's death!
As Sun Zhang finished speaking, the rickety figure standing under the statue finally turned around.

At the moment when he turned around, Sun Zhang felt a terrifying pressure spread out from under the statue.

In a daze, that seemingly small and old figure seemed to have replaced the entire world around it.

The originally huge and imposing statue of the coercive god behind him actually seemed small in comparison at this moment.

Sun Zhang was shocked.

But the instinct in his heart at that moment still made him work hard to maintain his deportment as a messenger.

With a pale face, he shouted loudly again.

"The envoy of the Great Yong Champion! I have seen...the Great Witch of the Holy Mountain!"

High-pitched voices echoed in the main hall of the Holy Mountain Temple.

Just like the unyielding belief in Sun Zhang's heart.

And perhaps infected by Sun Zhang's faith, the six doormen who followed him all the way to the Holy Mountain also shouted loudly.

"The envoy of the Great Yong Champion! I have seen...the Great Witch of the Holy Mountain!"

But compared to Sun Zhang, the following shouts in unison were somewhat mixed with anger.

They are unruly people who have their brains in their belts.

Faced with such sudden power, what will happen to the great witch?

So what about the top of the Nine Realms?
Once the blood is high, life and death are just a matter of care!
Seeing that these Yong people's envoys dared to be rude to the great witch, Zhi Ke stood aside like a slave, and his originally kind face suddenly darkened.

It's about to happen.

'How dare an ant! '

Just now he was polite to these Yong people envoys because it was the order of the great witch.

If it were normal...

Zhike was angry all his life, and his face was full of hostility.

But all this was interrupted by a chuckle from the great witch.

He didn't look at the six attendants, but only looked at Sun Zhang quietly.

"I heard that you were born as a city ranger?"

The words fell.

The terrifying pressure all around disappeared instantly.

Sun Zhang, who was freed from the huge oppression, slowly exhaled a small mouthful of turbid air, tried to stabilize his tone, and responded.

"Yes, Mr. Sun is despicable, but only because of the trust of my Lord Marquis can we be where we are today."

Although Sun Zhang was a little surprised that this terrifying and powerful man at the top of the Nine Realms could reveal his origins in one word, he didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, as long as you think about it for a moment, you will know that a humble person like him has nothing worthy of these old monsters' calculations.

Hearing this, the great witch nodded with a smile, seemingly sighing.

"There are many outstanding people in the Central Plains!"

Whenever a person of destiny is born, due to the influence of luck, outstanding talents and geniuses that were once rare for a hundred years will spring up like bamboo shoots after a rain.

The closer you get, the more so.

Just like the junior named Sun in front of him, who would have thought that such a humble being who was born as a ranger in the city could actually speak calmly without changing his expression in front of him, a terrifying being at the top of the Nine Realms?

For a moment, the great witch even saw in Sun Zhang a bit of the strategist who had become popular in various countries in his early years.

Perhaps he suddenly thought of those lunatics who frequently towered over the temples of other countries and spoke eloquently in front of the kings of other countries.

The great witch felt an inexplicable feeling of sadness in his heart.

Then he glanced at Sun Zhang with appreciative eyes for a while, then chuckled.

"Okay, now that you have climbed the Holy Mountain and met me, you can go back later."

He didn't ask the champion what was the purpose of sending them as an envoy.

I didn’t ask if there were any words or letters for me.

Some things are tacitly understood, so there is no need to waste time.

Sun Zhang was stunned when he heard this.

He also didn't expect this great witch to be so straightforward.

After only meeting them once, he sent them away.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

But then Sun Zhang realized that his and others' trip to the Holy Mountain as an 'embassy' was in name only.

The real purpose is just to send those stable women and servant women up the mountain.

Now that the task has been completed, you can naturally go back directly.

So without further entanglement, he bowed to the great witch again.

"In that case, let's say goodbye to the great wizard."

"If the great witch has something to tell you, Sun can convey it to my Marquis on behalf of the great witch."

The great witch looked at him with interest.

"Then ask your Lord Marquis on behalf of me."

Simple, direct and unpretentious.

Sun Zhang responded with clasped fists.

"Here."

But just when he was about to turn around and go down the mountain with the people, he saw the great witch calling him again.

Sun Zhang was puzzled.

The great witch smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll have someone give you a ride."

After saying that, he directly addressed the guest next to him.

"Yan Shu, the war is about to begin, and the envoys' return journey will be dangerous. You can ensure safety by sending them back."

After watching Sun Zhang and others bewildered for a while, they were flattered and moved.

The smile on the big witch's face became even bigger.

A seemingly small act can be exchanged for goodwill.

You can't lose on this deal.

Hearing this, Yan Shu didn't understand why the great wizard was so polite to these ordinary people, but he still chose to accept the order.

Seeing Yan Shu's unwillingness, the great witch shook his head and laughed.

The clouds follow the dragon and the wind follows the tiger.

At this time when the dragon is about to roar, if they don't hurry up and climb up, they will not be qualified to climb up in the future.

Considering that Yan Shu has been quite loyal and considerate to him over the years.

So Da Wu was still prepared to give him a chance.

"Go to Champion City and see the Champion. Don't be in a hurry to come back."

"That boy Yi Zhixie has now become a heavenly being. If he takes action against that champion, you should stop him and gain some opportunities for yourself."

Yi Zhixie?
Yan Shu didn't react for a moment.

After all, no one has called that person by that name for a long time. On the contrary, the nickname seems to have become his real name.

But...has he become a heavenly being?
Yan Shu was also a little shocked when he suddenly heard such shocking news.

But after the shock, he was a little confused.

Is the great witch trying to protect the champion's life?

But why did the great witch say that he was trying to gain opportunities for himself?
Yan Shu was shocked and confused.

But although he does not have great wisdom, he has one greatest advantage.

That is only the great witch's orders. Since the great witch arranged it this way, he just followed it.

So after only hesitating for a moment, he put his hand on his chest and bent down to accept the order.

"Here."

"Yan Shu obeys the instructions of the Great Witch."

Looking at the place where Yan Shu, Sun Zhang and others suddenly disappeared, the great witch smiled and was very satisfied.

Yesterday's beauty, today I will give you another eight-level heavenly being.

The more you pay, the more confident you will be when you make demands in the future.

What? You said you don't want it?
How can that work?
I took the initiative to deliver it to your door, so that’s all right!

The main thing is to be shameless!
When his thoughts turned to this point, the great witch looked towards the direction of the back mountain, his brows furrowed and then opened, and he laughed.

"That little man slave is quite smart and ambitious."

In sight, more than a hundred fine cavalry escorted the carriages carrying Wen Po and servant women. Under the guidance of the servants of the Holy Mountain, they arrived in front of a main hall.

Without any hesitation, he reined in his horse, turned over, and immediately kowtowed respectfully in front of the main hall door.

"The deputy general of the Great Yonggui Rebel Army, Tiemu Aguda, is here to protect the mistress on the order of the master!"

The stone slab on the ground was cold, but the eyes that were knocking on the stone slab were extremely hot.

When the war is about to begin, he would rather give up the battlefield to fight for merit and fight for a future.

It doesn't matter if this 'future' is just an illegitimate son who is not even the eldest son of a concubine.

If we can’t compete for family property in the Central Plains, won’t we still have grasslands?

Little did he know...that he, Tiemu Agu, would not be able to sit on the throne of the king on the grassland in the future?

……

Sun Zhang's trip to the north to the grassland, which he thought would involve countless lives and deaths, turned out to be incredibly smooth.

That's how it went.

Even more so when returning.

A real person in the Seventh Realm can even breathe a thousand miles, let alone a heavenly person in the Eighth Realm.

It seemed like just a thought, one moment they were meeting the Great Witch at the Holy Mountain of the Prairie, and the next moment they saw the familiar Champion City again.

The moment he set foot on Yongtu again, despite Sun Zhang's strong mind, he was still a little confused and didn't react for a long time.

It wasn't until a clear voice suddenly came from his ears that Sun Zhang came back to his senses.

"Take that distinguished guest from the Holy Mountain to look for me at the Marquis Mansion."

Sun Zhang was shocked when he heard this statement, which he had only heard once but seemed to be engraved in his bones.

"Here, Lord Marquis!"

After saying that, he ignored the confused entourage around him.

Sun Zhang turned around and looked at Yan Shu beside him, bowed and saluted.

"My Lord Marquis invites distinguished guests to come and have a chat with the Marquis. I hope that the envoy will never refuse."

Sun Zhang said this very politely.

Although he didn't know what the specific level of this person's cultivation was, the fact that he could lead a few of them across such a long distance in the blink of an eye was enough to awe people.

But in fact, the shock in Yan Shu's heart at this time was also quite big.

He also didn't expect that someone in this small border town could instantly know his location.

Eight realms of heavenly beings?

But based on his spiritual perception, it seems that there are no great monks of this level in the Champion City...

Mr. Hou?

That champion?
Yan Shu frowned slightly.

The initial indifference to this trip south disappeared in an instant.

For a moment, I actually felt a bit of elusive fear towards the champion.

However, considering what the great witch said before leaving, and thinking that he would eventually meet that person, he only hesitated slightly and nodded.

"That's fine. Now that we've come to Guibao Land, it would be rude not to pay a visit to the landowner."

"Please, Master Sun, please lead the way."

Although this Yan Shu looks like a barbarian, his words, deeds and behavior are almost the same as those of Yong people.

Sun Zhang was surprised, but he didn't show it.

Seeing that he agreed, I was immediately overjoyed.

"The branch office should do it. I don't dare to treat you as a distinguished guest. Please tell me."

He said, extending his hand as an invitation.

"Dear guest, please."

……

Champion City, Hou Mansion.

Han Shao, who was dressed in black and brocade clothes, was sitting in his study, surrounded by beauties with red sleeves, which made others envious.

But Han Shao didn't have much thought and thought. He just looked at a pile of documents at his desk and reviewed them from time to time.

After a moment, he suddenly raised his head and gave instructions.

"A distinguished guest is here, Lu Yan, go and invite him personally."

As Han Shao's former personal commander, Lu Yan's status has naturally risen.

Although he still seemed to be much lower than Li Jing and others, in fact, no one in the entire Champion City dared to offend him.

It goes without saying that the identity of the person who can be personally welcomed by him goes without saying.

Lu Yan did not dare to neglect and took the order immediately.

"Here."

Just as Lu Yan led him into the room, he brought him to Han Shao.

He looked a little strange.

Barbarian?

He also didn't expect that the person the Marquis asked him to greet turned out to be a barbarian!
Moreover, the aura of this barbarian was completely invisible even to him.

You have to know that by now, his cultivation level is no longer what it used to be.

Since receiving the wolf talisman given by Han Shao, in the past month, both the part of the Liao Army in Langju City and the army in Champion City have been attacking the grassland almost day and night.

The large and small tribes were forced to go south due to the chaos in the grasslands.

The ferocious horse bandits have been everywhere in the grassland for many years, like a gangrene on the bones, and it is difficult to completely eradicate them.

Everyone suffered a complete disaster during this period!

What should be leveled should be leveled!

The slaughter that deserves to be slaughtered!

The first is to clear the battlefield for the upcoming war and achieve a true clearing of the country.

Secondly, it is also to turn it into materials for the growth of the entire army.

During this period, even the personal guards under the command of Lu Yan were dispatched several times.

It's just that they are not heading north to the grassland, but are cooperating with Zhongxinggu's six gates to clear out certain hidden dangers around Champion City.

So after annihilating two large sects, Lu Yan was finally able to cross the threshold of the sixth realm.

But even with a powerful cultivation level in the Sixth Realm, Lu Yan still felt an instinctive sense of fear in front of the seemingly invisible barbarian behind him.

"Master Marquis, people have arrived."

Han Shao looked up from his writing desk and saw that Lu Yan looked wary and hesitated to speak.

His worries were immediately understood.

In addition to the opponent's cultivation level, Lu Yan was actually more worried about the identity of this barbarian.

The war is coming.

If someone with ulterior motives takes advantage of it at this time, and rumors spread, the military morale in Champion City is not worried.

On the other side of Langju City... it's not easy to say.

'In addition, there is the reputation of the Marquis, and...'

The more Lu Yan thought about it, the more worried he became.

Han Shao laughed, then waved his hand to comfort him.

"Don't worry, nothing will go wrong."

"Okay, you go down first."
