PFC Chapter 367 Departure for Wei
Chapter 367 Departure for Wei
Mingyue looked at Fengzi Cheng with confusion in his eyes. He couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Cheng, what is the origin of Tianxian Sect?"
Fengzi Cheng had an ugly expression, and his solemn look was mixed with deep fear. He looked at Mingyue seriously, and said solemnly, "If the Tianxian Sect intervenes in this matter... then I'm afraid our efforts will be in vain..."
Mingyue's eyes widened, disbelief written all over her face, and she asked anxiously, "Is it possible that even our Yeyou Division cannot intervene in this matter? Does the Tianxian Sect really have such power?"
Zhuang Chang on the side gave a helpless smile, his voice revealing a bit of powerlessness and emotion: "How can our Yeyou Division be compared with the Tianxian Sect..."
Zhuang Chang paused and continued, "No matter how powerful the Yeyou Division is, it is only a government office in Yongguo. But the Tianxian Sect... is a super sect that controls dozens of countries and dynasties..."
After hearing this, Mingyue felt as if she had been hit by a heavy hammer. She stood there in a daze, unable to speak for a long time.
Cheng Fengzi felt distressed when he saw Mingyue's distraught look.
He knew that Mingyue had worked tirelessly for this mission, running around and putting in a lot of thought. Now that she suddenly heard such despairing news, it was normal for her to find it difficult to accept it for a while.
So, he comforted her softly: "Don't worry, let's go back and report to the Lord, and let the Lord decide how to make a decision!"
After saying that, Fengzi Cheng and Zhuang Chang looked at each other, and the two of them, one on the left and one on the right, gently lifted up Mingyue, who was still in a dazed state, and turned around and hurried towards Minglei City.
…
Although the series of events that took place in Minglei City caused a sensation in Leizhou, if they were measured in the context of the entire Yongguo's grand territory, they could only be regarded as insignificant episodes.
In the vast land of Yongguo, all kinds of disputes and accidents take place every day. If this incident had not accidentally involved a behemoth like Tianxianmen, it might not even be qualified to be registered by Yeyousi.
While Li Zhi was waiting for the order to set out for the Wei Dynasty in the capital, he also heard about the events in Minglei City.
It is said that as the investigation deepened, the matter became more and more complicated and eventually came to nothing.
The reason is that this incident is not only closely related to the Tianxian Gate, but also involves a powerful figure in Yongguo.
For Li Zhi, both Lao Hu and the half-demon child were people he had only met once.
Therefore, he would not be filled with righteous indignation after hearing these things, and immediately return to Leizhou to discuss with Cheng Fengzi, Mingyue and others how to kill Tianxianmen, or go to confront the big shot who was deeply involved in this matter.
In Li Zhi's opinion, there are countless such things in this world and he is no longer surprised by them.
Li Zhi learned from the letter sent by Hong Fan that Mingyue was deeply depressed by this incident.
However, Li Zhi did not try to comfort Mingyue too much.
Because Li Zhi knew that he had to rely on himself to overcome this kind of thing, and no one else could help him.
During his stay in the capital, Li Zhi became more and more familiar with Duan Heng, Zhang Wenchu, Jia Zhen, Nangong Wen, Chen Hua and others.
They often get together to exchange ideas and learn from each other.
Whether it was Duan Heng, Nangong Wen, Chen Hua, Zhang Wenchu, or Jia Zhen, they all started learning martial arts and magic since childhood, which was much more systematic than Li Zhi, who changed his career halfway.
Moreover, Li Zhi also benefited a lot from discussing and exchanging ideas with them.
Although the improvement in strength cannot be said to be drastic, it has increased a lot and my knowledge has also become broader.
Finally, on this day, the order to go to the Wei Dynasty, which everyone had been looking forward to, was officially issued.
The moment they received the order, Li Zhi, Duan Heng and others were extremely excited.
The next morning, before daybreak, Li Zhi and his party got up early, packed their luggage carefully, and came to the majestic and solemn imperial palace with excitement and nervousness.
In the magnificent palace, the emperor sat on the dragon throne, his eyes as sharp as torches, scanning Li Zhi, Duan Heng and others who were neatly lined up in the hall.
His voice was steady and resonant, echoing in the hall for a long time: "My dear ministers, this mission to the Wei Kingdom is a heavy responsibility. I have only one request, which is to bring glory to our Yong Kingdom! Can you do it?"
Upon hearing this, Li Zhi and the others knelt on one knee and shouted in unison: "We will do our best to live up to your majesty's trust!"
The emperor nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "I believe that you will succeed immediately. I will wait for good news in this palace. When you return to the capital in triumph, I will personally hold a banquet for you to celebrate your success!"
After receiving the emperor's encouragement, everyone left the hall and headed straight for the post station outside the city.
It was noon, the sun was scorching, and the group of people walked hurriedly but did not appear to be in a panic at all.
Soon, they arrived at the post station.
The scene before them lifted everyone's spirits. They saw a well-equipped army that had been lined up in an orderly manner and had been waiting for a long time.
They were dressed in brand new armor that shone coldly in the sunlight, and the spears and sharp blades in their hands flashed with cold light, showing a murderous aura.
Although there are only a hundred people, they give people the feeling of an invincible army.
Above this team, a large flag was fluttering in the wind, with the word "Qiongqi" clearly written on it.
Li Zhi looked up and his eyes fell on the leader in front of the team. He couldn't help but feel surprised and happy, and blurted out: "Captain Yang! I didn't expect that it was you who led the Qiongqi Camp and went to the Wei Dynasty with us!"
Upon hearing the voice, Captain Yang slowly turned his head and his eyes fell on Li Zhi.
He had some impression of Li Zhi. However, Captain Yang was introverted by nature, not good at speaking, and even worse at socializing with others. Even when he was emotional, he rarely showed it on his face.
At this moment, he just had a cold face and nodded slightly towards Li Zhi as a response.
Li Zhi had heard about Captain Yang's character from Situ Han, and knew that he was always like this, so he didn't take it seriously and smiled in response.
Behind this Qiongqi camp, there were several carriages parked.
The carriage was loaded with boxes and crates filled to the brim and packed tightly, each with a seal bearing the special emblem of the Yong Kingdom.
These are all carefully selected national gifts prepared as tribute to the Great Wei. Without special orders, ordinary people are not allowed to open them without permission.
Li Zhi turned around and nodded to Duan Heng and the others, and then each of them rode on the horses that had been prepared for them.
Li Zhi looked around and saw that everyone had solemn faces, quietly waiting for the order to set off. He took a deep breath, and then said in a deep voice: "Let's go!"
A burly soldier raised the whip in his hand high and swung it hard in the air. There was a crisp "crack" sound, like a sudden thunder.
With the sound of the whip, the convoy slowly started.
The wheels rolled heavily, crushing the dust on the ground and raising a cloud of smoke.
The group of people set out on a long journey to the Great Wei...
