Starting from the martial arts world, Gan became a true master of martial arts.

Chapter 422 Dragon Guard
Tianshui County, An Prefecture.

From the tall tower in the backyard, wisps of green smoke kept floating out.

All the middle-aged men with square faces walked hurriedly from the outer courtyard.

He was wearing a green and simple python robe, which made him look extremely noble.

According to the etiquette of Dayang, only kings are qualified to wear dragon robes. Of course, a few people with high status and honor can also wear them, but they must be granted by the emperor himself.

There were many guards standing outside the tower, all wearing black armor, holding long spears, and silent.

When the middle-aged man in the python robe came closer, he waved his hand gently.

The guard made a gesture using sign language.

The guards who were deaf and dumb made way for them.

The middle-aged man knocked three times on the bronze door on the first floor of the tower.

After a while, the bronze door opened automatically and Anzhe pushed it open and walked in.

The tower is simply furnished, with a spiral staircase leading directly to the top floor.

Anzhe climbed up the stairs and it took him half an hour to reach the upper floors of the tower. Even though he was a warrior, he was exhausted and out of breath.

The upper floors of the tower were also empty. The lights of eighty-one eternal lamps flickered inside. There was a round curtain in the middle. A person was sitting inside. When he saw Anzhe, he slowly opened his eyes.

An Zhe was outside the curtain, bowing his head and saying, "Ancestor, King Xuan Yi has been emperor for half a month, and the Red Eyebrows Master of Yanzhou has also been emperor. There has been no movement in Jingzhou, Wanzhou, Jizhou, and Haizhou."

No one answered from behind the curtain for a long time, and Anzhe, who was wearing a dragon robe, didn't even dare to raise his head.

After an unknown amount of time, a soft voice came from behind the curtain: "Where is the jade seal?"

Anzhe said hurriedly: "It has not been found yet. Now we can basically conclude that the jade seal is sealed in Shangjing City."

There was another "oh" sound from behind the curtain.

An Zhe lowered his head and explained: "The young emperor secretly sent someone to contact me, wanting to take over the Dragon Guard privately, but there was no jade seal. I speculated that he should have been sealed together with Li Yuanzheng."

"This little emperor actually bypassed the state guardian general Gu Chengxuan. The relationship between them is not as harmonious as we imagined."

Then the old man behind the curtain remained silent for a long time. Anzhe hurriedly lowered his head again and said, "I am too talkative."

In the candlelight, the old man continued, "Go on."

An Zhe leaned forward and raised his head and said, "In front of Pantai Pass, the Dragon Whale Army and the Red Eyebrow Army were fighting. A strong man attacked and cut off half of the desert with one sword. The Red Eyebrow Army suffered countless casualties."

"What is the identity of the strong man?"

"The spies have found out his identity. He is Fang Xuan, the leader of the Dragon Whale Army. In the battle of the Wulin Alliance, he fought against Master Yun Xin of the Buddhist sect. I heard that he is now a fifth-rank martial arts master."

There was silence again behind the curtain. After a moment, "Where's the one from the Wulin Alliance?"

An Zhe raised his eyebrows, "I heard that he succeeded in breaking through the barrier and is now a strong man in the Divine Wandering Realm."

He knew that his ancestors had some connection with the ancestors of the Wulin Alliance. He raised his eyes quietly, trying to observe the reaction of his ancestors through the curtain, but he could only see a vague figure.

But the ancestor behind the curtain stood up, turned around and looked at the window behind him through the curtain.

"After hundreds of years, I didn't expect that he would succeed in breaking through the barrier first."

The old man was silent and thoughtful.

Anzhe said again: "Ancestor, if the jade seal really cannot be found, should we choose one?"

The ancestor of the An family said: "If the Wulin Alliance is willing to take up the banner of justice, we can join without hesitation, but with Zhao Chuanxiong's temper, ""Don't move yet, and stay the same in the face of all changes!"

After a moment, An Zhe said again: "Fang Xuan has left Pantai Pass. I guess he may have come to Tianshui County."

The 300,000 Dragon Guards are what all the major princes in Kyushu are fighting for. As the leader of the Dragon Guards, how could An Zhe not know this?

Seeing that the ancestor did not answer for a long time, Anzhe bravely raised his head and asked tentatively: "Ancestor?"

The An family ancestor asked calmly, "What is the reputation of the Dragon Whale Army?"

An Zhe thought for a moment and said, "Jizhou was hit by a natural disaster, hundreds of thousands of people were displaced, and wherever they passed, there was devastation."

"What's strange is that Jizhou didn't provide relief to the refugees, but Haizhou opened its doors wide. Now, the people of Jiuzhou all say that the Dragon Whale Army has the style of the Wuyang Army back then."

The Wuyang Army was the army led by Emperor Wuzong, the founding emperor of Dayang. They later recaptured many rebel forces, but the Wuyang Army played a huge role in the unification of Kyushu.

The ancestor of the An family said calmly: "People don't know that the people's hearts also determine the amount of dragon luck. If the Dragon Whale Army really has such a reputation, we should consider it carefully."

Anzhe nodded in agreement.

The Dragon Whale Army has a good reputation, but among the Nine Provinces, King Xuan Yi of Jizhou and Wanzhou are recognized as the forces capable of competing for the Nine Provinces.

Before the jade seal is found, they will be the focus of investigation by the Dragon Guards.

Of course, if the jade seal is not found in the end, the Dragon Guards will not sit idly by and wait for death.

An Zhe naturally also knew that for their An family, at a time when the situation in Jiuzhou has not yet completely changed, the jade seal is still what they are pursuing with all their might.

Only by obtaining the Jade Seal and 300,000 Royal Court Dragon Guards can one enjoy the freedom of the sky like the birds in the sky.

"Yes," Anzhe bowed again, "Ancestor, there are many underworld forces gathered in Jingzhou, do you think we should do something?"

In the flickering candlelight, the old man responded calmly: "It's okay, I'm just a little trickster. Back then, Emperor Wuzong used fame and fortune as a knife to cut off the chivalrous spirit of the world for hundreds of years. This chivalrous spirit will never come back!"

At noon, An Zhe came out of the bronze door of the tower respectfully.

The temperature in autumn is not much lower than that in midsummer. The scorching sun shines on his body, making the red dragon robe look particularly bright.

He slowly breathed a sigh of relief, walked around a circle of guards, and strode towards the front yard.

In the lobby of the front yard, there is a painting with large characters hanging in the middle: "Serve the country with loyalty and dedication".

Anzhe walked into the lobby, where a middle-aged man was already sitting and waiting. When he saw Anzhe, he stood up and greeted him:

"General An, I heard that your young master is about to break through the third level. Your young master is truly a rare talent. Within five years, you will definitely be on the Hidden Dragon List!"

An Zhe nodded: "Thank you for your kindness, Sect Master Zhang."

He sat back in the main seat and waited for the maid to serve him tea. He took a sip of the tea and then the fatigue in his mind subsided.

Zhang Li continued with a smile, "My disciples have already gone deep into Guantong Mountain. It won't take long for them to retrieve the inner elixir of the monster."

"By then, with the help of the inner elixir, you will definitely be able to successfully advance to the fourth level!"

An Zhe smiled slightly, "Okay, okay, now the situation in Jiuzhou has changed dramatically, Shuijing Sect really needs a better force to rely on, I don't know if this is Wanzhou."

Zhang Li's face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly said, "Thank you, General An. If our Shuijing Sect can really become Wanzhou's vassal, our entire sect will never forget General An's kindness!"

Zhang Li left excitedly, and An Zhe walked out of the lobby, looking at the clear blue sky, with a faint glow in his eyes.

"Gu Chengxuan, ah Gu Chengxuan, if the little emperor has a rift with you, will you continue to recover Dayang, or... do as Prince Xuanyi did and declare yourself emperor!"
