Peerless Headmaster

Chapter 1195 Under Dugu City
The first generation head of the Dugu family was conferred the title of Zhennan King by the Dugu family, and this honor has been passed down from generation to generation by the heads of the Dugu family. Until now, the Dugu family is still the only king with a different surname in Daling.

Even with Ning Heng's current relationship with Lian Hongchen, he has not been canonized as a king with a different surname, and is currently only the Duke of the Kingdom.

Of course, the title of Lord Protector is already one of the best in Daling, not much worse than the title of Zhennan King of the Dugu family.

It is well known that the Dugu family is extremely mysterious and low-key, and very exclusive.

But no one doubts the strength of the Dugu family, and no one will challenge the majesty of the Dugu family.

In the Great Spirit, people believed that the status of the Dugu family was no lower than that of the Lian's royal family. Even if the Lian's royal family was in charge of the entire Great Spirit, the Dugu family still listened to the tune and did not listen to the announcement, and had a strong sense of autonomy.

It stands to reason that such a powerful and high-status family, even if it made great contributions to Daling back then, it is easy to be suspicious and wary of Emperor Daling for so many years.

However, the Dugu family has been passed down for so many years. From the time of the great ancestor of the Great Spirit until now, it has always been stable. No generation of Emperor Daling has ever done anything to the Dugu family.

The reason why Ning Heng went to the Dugu family was to learn something from the Dugu family.

Whether it is practicing Hongchen or from the masked man, Ning Heng vaguely discovered that the Dugu family has an unusual origin, and perhaps the Dugu family hides some secrets about this world.

These are just some suspicions of Ning Heng himself. He wants to go to the Dugu family to take a look, but he is also curious. He really wants to see this great family that has existed for so many years.

From Lian Hongchen, Ning Heng already knew where the Dugu family was, and now he went all the way south, and ten days later he had already arrived at the southern border.

It's not that Ning Heng has never been to the southern Kyushu. When he fought against Ning Xundao outside the imperial capital, he was seriously injured to the point of dying, and was taken to the southern region by the old man with the golden ape mask to recuperate.

However, Ning Heng didn't stay in the southern border that time, and left directly after recovering from his injuries.

Now that he came to the southern Kyushu again, he has plenty of time, and there are no important things to hinder him. Ning Heng can experience the customs of the southern Kyushu.

Compared with the bitterly cold northern land, the land in the southern border is indeed much more comfortable. There is a feeling of warm spring and flowers blooming all the time. The water and soil are fertile, the climate is pleasant, and the products are also very rich.

The entire Daling, the southern Kyushu and the eastern Kyushu are well-known good places. One is rich in products and the other is adjacent to the sea. Compared with the desolation of the western Kyushu and the bitter cold of the northern Kyushu, they are really different.

The better the place, the more people there will be, and the more warriors will be born.

This is an unchangeable status quo. Because of the bitter cold and barrenness of the Northland Kyushu, there are fewer people and fewer warriors. The overall martial arts strength is weaker than other places.

Ning Heng did not go directly to the Dugu family, but wandered around in some places in the southern border, especially to a few more famous places.

During this process, nothing else happened, Ning Hengzhen seemed to be in the mountains and rivers, and completely forgot about other things.

After wandering around the southern border for more than half a month, Ning Heng went slowly to the Dugu family.

The place where the Dugu family is located is a city.

Because the family is huge, the ancestral house of the Dugu family has been expanded to the size of a city. Most of the people in the entire city are children of the Dugu family, and the rest are servants with foreign surnames.

The Dugu family is very exclusive, so if anyone wants to enter the Dugu city, they must first obtain the consent of the Dugu family, otherwise approaching the Dugu city rashly will be regarded as a provocation to the Dugu family.

There used to be a chamber of commerce from Dongyue State who wanted to enter Dugu City to develop its own chamber of commerce. The leader of this chamber of commerce was extremely stupid to think that the Dugu family would welcome their chamber of commerce very much. After sending a request to the Dugu family to enter the city, he directly sent People want to enter Solitude.

As a result, before anyone could enter, someone in Dugu City had already taken action and captured all the members of the chamber of commerce outside the city.

No matter how much the leader of the chamber of commerce begged, he couldn't even pay the price to redeem him.

After such a thing happened, no one or any force dared to provoke the Dugu family, even members of the Lian family's royal family visited the Dugu family, they had to be careful and cautious, and did not dare to act recklessly with the status of the royal family.

Ning Heng is also very clear about the xenophobia of the Dugu family, so he did not rely on his status as the protector of the country to put pressure on the Dugu family, but very politely handed over the city entry stickers to the Dugu city, hoping to get the Dugu family permission to enter Solitude for a visit.

Ning Heng sent the invitation as the head teacher of the Golden Crow Sect. He did not use his identity as the Duke of the Protectorate, but he just hoped that the Dugu family would feel his sincerity.

But the result made Ning Heng very disappointed. After waiting twenty miles outside the city for nearly half an hour, the greeting card he put into the city was sent out.

The Dugu family does not agree to enter Dugu City!

This made Ning Heng somewhat unexpected that he had no grievances with the Dugu family, and this time he was only here to visit, not to provoke the Dugu family, so he rejected it directly.

Looking at the greeting card in his hand, Ning Heng gave a helpless wry smile, and had no choice but to walk to Dugu City himself.

Twenty miles away in the blink of an eye, Ning Heng looked at the majestic city gate in front of him and the indifferent sergeants on the city, Ning Heng said loudly: "Golden Wu Zong Ning Heng is here to pay a visit to the Dugu family!"

"No one is allowed to approach Dugu City! I'll give you ten breaths to retreat twenty miles, or don't blame me and punish me severely!"

Immediately, a thick voice came from the city gate, with threats and impatience hidden in the tone.

Ning Heng frowned suddenly, it was fine if his greeting card was called back, now that he came here in person, no matter what, he should send someone to talk to him, why did he ask him to back away as soon as he opened his mouth?

"The Dugu family can't be xenophobic to this extent?" Ning Heng was puzzled.

At this moment, the voice on the city gate sounded again:
"Nine."

"Eight."

...

When counting to five breaths, Ning Heng said again: "Please tell me, General Zhenbei, Duke Hu Guo, and Jinwu Headmaster Ning Heng are here to visit!"

If it is not soft enough, then it can only be a little harder.

Since people don't recognize his identity as the headmaster of the Golden Crow, then he only has the identity of Lord Protector and General Zhenbei.

"Four."

"three."

Unexpectedly, the people above continued to count as if they didn't hear it, and a row of longbows and crossbows had already been displayed.

Ning Heng's expression suddenly turned cold, and he saw a playful smile on the face of the counting person, which seemed to be intentional.
