C449 The Ning Brothers
"What a strong killing intent!" Yang Xuan turned his head and instantly locked his gaze on the young general. With just a glance, he was sure that this was the defending army of Profound Gate Pass. Only they would be in the middle of the long years of killing of Barbarian Clan. Such a monstrous killing intent had been accumulated.
Little Black and the Wind Thunder Tiger immediately stopped and stared at the young general. They let out a low roar, as if they were looking at the young general as an enemy.
"Step back." Yang Xuan ordered the two spiritual beasts to step back and slowly walked to the young general. He cupped his hands and said, "General, are you under my master's orders to come to Lo Capital to investigate the military situation?"
"That's right. I am Ning Ziwei, and you are Yang Xuan?" Ning Ziwei looked at Yang Xuan in surprise. He did not expect that the disciple of the general would be so strong. He had reached the Fourth Stage at such a young age, and was considered an extraordinary man in the army.
"That's right. The general has just arrived. The situation in this city..."
"I've already known about it over the past few days. I'm only here to see my useless little brother. I heard that he has made quite a big contribution."
Yang Xuan immediately revealed a troubled expression. He looked at the room behind him. Ning Zifeng had been in there for quite some time. He had never come out nor allowed anyone to enter. He had no idea what was going on inside.
Ning Ziwei took a look and immediately understood what was going on. He strode towards the room and kicked open the door. From this, one could see his character.
When everyone walked in, Ning Zifeng was sitting by the table with the marriage bag in his hand. His eyes were empty and his face was pale. He didn't have any reaction to the crowd coming in.
When Ning Ziwei saw this scene, he immediately became angry. He walked over and kicked Ning Zifeng to the ground with his eyes wide open.
"You piece of trash! You actually fell to this state because of a woman. Do you know how tense the situation at the border is? Do you know that the Barbarian Clan launched a surprise attack a few days ago and my Ning family suffered heavy casualties? Even my father was heavily injured and bedridden, yet you are still lamenting here?"
When Ning Zifeng heard the news that his father was bedridden, his body trembled. He quickly stood up and put the marriage bag properly in his arms as he hurriedly said.
"How is father? Is he in danger? What happened at the border? Why did the Ning family suffer such a disaster?"
Hearing that Ning Zifeng was still concerned about the family and the war, Ning Ziwei's expression became a little better. He walked to the stool and sat down. He minded his own business and poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip.
"Father's injuries have been controlled in time, but he still needs to rest for a year and a half before he can recover. However, no one knew what kind of crazy thing had happened in the Barbarian Clan recently. They had organized several sneak attacks. The spies have reported that it seems like they have found something in the Northern Flatlands. "
"General Zhou has already led his troops into the depths of the valley. He has been fighting with the Third Prince Lesa for the past few days. If we can capture him alive, we might be able to obtain a lot of information, which is why we are unable to come to Lo Capital."
"However, you still have to go and take a look at father. After all, we are all in important positions, and you are the only one who has nothing to do. It's also good to go and chat with father."
When Ning Zifeng heard this, a troubled expression appeared on his face. He muttered, "Brother, I can't go back for the time being. Hongti told me to take good care of the Red Lotus Workshop before she died. That was her painstaking effort..."
"Bastard!" Ning Ziwei slammed the table and stood up. His tiger eyes were wide open. He slapped Ning Zifeng's face again and said, "This peaceful era is also the painstaking effort of my Ning Family. You actually abandoned it for a woman. How furious will father be if he finds out?! "
Ning Zifeng covered his face and did not say a word. Ning Ziwei then called a few soldiers from the Carduus Army and directly lifted Ning Zifeng up. They showed the true colors of a military family.
Yang Xuan watched from the side and did not say a word. After all, this was a family matter of the Ning family. Besides, it was better to let Ning Zifeng do some things than to stay in this sad place every day.
"Brother Yang Xuan, I will take this kid away. When he came, the general ordered me to pass a message to you." Ning Ziwei calmed his mood and turned around to speak to Yang Xuan in a low voice.
"What did master say?" He didn't expect Zhou Fengmiao to bring him a message, which made Yang Xuan curious.
"General told you to go to Commander Prefecture as soon as possible. Ask them to borrow three hundred thousand iron weapons to support the border. " Ning Ziwei took out a token from his pocket, put it on the table, and then went out. He brought Ning Zifeng along and ran towards the Carduus Army's camp.
Yang Xuan picked up the token and saw three big words engraved on it - Luo Du Shou.
"Isn't this Commander's token? After Chen Sansi was exiled, this token had returned to General Zhou's hand. Waiting for a suitable candidate for Commander, and now, you are the one chosen! " The postman was extremely surprised. The Lo Capital was such an important place, yet Zhou Fengmiao was able to pass it to Yang Xuan without worry.
There was not a single Commander in the history of the Great Wei who was not more than twenty years old!
"Maybe Master lent it to me for my convenience! I think Master will take it back when I return." Yang Xuan said embarrassedly and put the token into his pocket. He also found it hard to believe.
Zhou Fengmiao told him to go as soon as possible. Yang Xuan did not dare to delay the time. After tidying up for a while, he took Yuh Qingcheng and said goodbye to the post office. In order to not cause another disturbance, they quietly left the station through the small door.
From the map, even if the two of them rode spirit beasts, it would take them seven days to reach Jiangnan. Yang Xuan made the best use of the time to rush, but Yuh Qingcheng was not in a hurry. She treated the trip to Jiangnan as a rare opportunity to play.
She had long heard that Jiangnan had good scenery. She had never been there before. She rode on the Wind Thunder Tiger and walked slowly.
At the same time, in the most majestic palace in the capital, the old ancestor of Yuh Family rushed into it. There were already more than ten people with terrifying Qi waiting for him inside.
"Elder Yuh, you're finally here. We've been waiting for you for a long time." Patriarch of the Yang family crossed his arms between his sleeves. His face looked somewhat nervous. He had heard that the Lo Capital was facing a crisis like the one that happened twenty years ago. The twelve families, including the State Hall and prime minister Xu, had all gathered here. They were waiting for the old ancestor of Yuh Family to inform them about the situation.
"I'm in a hurry, I'm finally not late... Where's His Majesty?" The old ancestor of Yuh Family looked around the palace, but there was no one in the high and mighty seat.
Xu Ruxian and Zhou Fengyuan slowly walked out, and the old ancestors all made way for them.
"His Majesty is ill and hasn't left the court for half a month. Today, the Sixth Prince will be attending a hearing."
"We are late. Please forgive us."
The voice rang out and everyone looked back. The Sixth Prince walked in with a smile on his face and stood with his hands behind his back.
