Chapter 723: Marshal of the Holy Blood Empire
"What's the situation in the Azure Realm?"
After some fun, Li Huize asked Qi Yanmeng to take the two girls to another room, where there were all kinds of delicious food. Qi Yanmeng was responsible for entertaining the two girls, while Li Huize took Shen Zheng into a large study. |^
This room is full of all kinds of books, like a mountain and a sea. Shen Zheng took a look and found that there were many serious books, but there were more leisure books for pure entertainment. All kinds of people are included.
After entering the room, Li Huize asked the previous question.
His expression was solemn, his brows were furrowed, and he was very worried. [
"It is said that they have joined forces with a plane called the Holy Demon Realm." Shen Zheng said, "The two planes are working together to attack us, and the prospects are probably not optimistic. It seems that the people in the Holy Demon Realm have opened up the plane cracks first and contacted them. Now they are actively studying how to open the space cracks that lead to us."
"It seems that the war is just around the corner." Li Huize nodded slowly.
"But our world is still in constant conflict." He shook his head and sighed. "Knowing that danger will come one day, you still attack each other and plot against each other. Do you have to wait until the enemy is in front of you to temporarily unite?"
The two were silent for a long time, and they didn't seem to know what to say.
"Whether it's the end of the world or the era of heroes, it doesn't matter." Li Huize smiled. "For me, a long life is a kind of enjoyment. But endless enjoyment is sometimes a kind of torture. In any case, change is interesting. But for young people like you, it's different."
"Yes." Shen Zheng nodded.
"If you need me, just ask." Li Huize said. "I will give you the necessary support. You know, my identity as a secret mage still has some weight. When I say something, most empires will listen to it."
"Thank you." Shen Zheng nodded. "Actually, there is one thing that needs your help. Master Qi Yanmeng said that there are more than a dozen space cracks in my legendary secret realm, which will directly threaten the safety of the Holy Alliance. I would like to ask you to help take a look."
"Okay." Li Huize nodded, "You go back and guard those space cracks first, in case there is any change. I will go after making some necessary arrangements."
The two looked at each other, tacitly, but there seemed to be nothing more to say. After chatting for a few more words, the two came to the girls' room, chatted for a while, and ate some food. Shen Zheng knew that he should say goodbye.
"Xiaoying, learn well from the master." He reminded before leaving.
"Don't worry, brother." Shen Ying nodded, "I will be your right-hand man as I said before."
The two smiled at each other, no need for more words, the concern in their hearts has been expressed by their eyes.
There were three people when they came, but only one person was left on the way back. _!~;No, not one person, there is also a beautiful girl with big eyes, Xuejun Xiangji. She followed Shen Zheng, no matter where Shen Zheng went, she followed closely.
"It seems there were a lot of good opportunities just now." Shen Zheng said, "Why didn't you make a move?"
"Good opportunities?" Xue Jun Xiang Ji shook her head, "I didn't see it."
Shen Zheng smiled: "You still need to practice more. You have too little experience and don't know how to attack by surprise. You are no match for me in a frontal attack."
"If you have the ability, don't use the secret realm to join forces." Xue Jun Xiang Ji hummed.
"Okay." Shen Zheng nodded, "I won't use it now. You can do it."[
"That's what you said. A man's words are hard to take back." Xue Jun Xiang Ji's eyes lit up.
"Come on." Shen Zheng smiled.
"No." Xue Jun Xiang Ji suddenly shook her head, "You are so sure, you must have had some bad ideas in your mind. I can't be fooled by you. I just want to wait for the best opportunity to attack you by surprise."
"Then I'll wait." Shen Zheng smiled, broke through the hyperspace and entered it. Xue Jun Xiang Ji hurriedly caught up, fearing that Shen Zheng would leave her behind. The two of them went to the border of the Holy Blood Empire, one in front and one behind. Along the way, Shen Zheng just flew at a constant speed, and did not play with the little girl like Qi Yanmeng did, which made Xue Jun Xiangji have a little more favorable impression on him.
When they arrived at the border, there was naturally another patrol team to check. Shen Zheng handed over his pass, but the patrolman did not intend to let him go. The captain of the team bowed to Shen Zheng: "Leader Shen, we just received a notice that you must stay when you return. My Lord Saint Dawson, the Grand Marshal of the Holy Blood Empire, would like to invite you to the Marshal's Mansion to talk and explain to you the misunderstanding that happened before."
"Okay." Shen Zheng nodded slowly. He didn't care whether this was a trap or not. Anyway, with his current strength, even if it was a trap, he could kill it calmly as long as the trap was not composed of several strong men like Guang Haokong.
"Imperial Marshal?" Xue Jun Xiangji was stunned for a long time, obviously not expecting Shen Zheng to be treated like this.
"This is a good opportunity to sneak attack me." Shen Zheng whispered to her. "Don't miss it."
"Are you kidding?" The little girl was anxious, "That's an interview with the Grand Marshal of the Empire! How can I do such a thing in front of the Grand Marshal? I will lose face for the Xue Family!"
Shen Zheng hadn't laughed so happily for a long time.
Led by the patrol, Shen Zheng came to a nearby secret fortress. No one said that the fortress was a key place and foreigners were not allowed to enter. He was taken to the luxurious reception room and received the best hospitality. After waiting for a few hours, a handsome officer with long flowing hair and great demeanor walked in.
"Hello, I am the first adjutant of the Grand Marshal." He politely saluted Shen Zheng, his elegant movements and handsome face made Xuejun Xiangji a little lost for a moment.
"On behalf of the Grand Marshal of the Holy Blood Empire, I sincerely invite you to his house for a chat." The adjutant said respectfully, "There were too many misunderstandings between our country and the Holy Alliance before, and the Grand Marshal thinks this is a great time to explain it clearly. I beg you not to refuse."
"If I want to refuse, I won't wait for you here all the time." Shen Zheng smiled.
"Thank you!" The adjutant bowed and looked at Xuejun Xiangji with a slight smile. "Is this the gem master in your Holy Alliance?"
"No, no!" Before Shen Zheng could speak, Xuejun Xiangji hurriedly explained nervously. "I am from the Blood River Storm Family of the Holy Blood Empire, my name is Xuejun Xiangji."
The adjutant's face showed a look of astonishment, and he obviously couldn't understand how two such unrelated people could get together.
"Are we leaving now?" Shen Zheng asked.
"Yes." The adjutant bowed.
The three of them came outside and saw that there was already a guard of 100 people waiting outside the secret realm. When they saw Shen Zheng, everyone stood at attention and saluted, giving him enough face. Shen Zheng felt more and more that this Grand Marshal Saint Dawson seemed to be really sincere in building a good relationship with the Holy Alliance. But people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and he has not met this marshal yet, so it is necessary to be cautious. Therefore, he did not relax his vigilance.
Having Xuejun Xiangji by his side has such an advantage: Shen Zheng must be careful and guarded at all times, otherwise he will lose the bet immediately. Although he eventually planned to lose deliberately to help this little girl, it was not now.
Therefore, it would not be easy for anyone to plot against Shen Zheng. [
But this team obviously did not have this intention. Under the leadership of the adjutant, everyone escorted Shen Zheng out of the secret realm fortress, entered the hyperspace, and began to head towards the core area of the Holy Blood Empire. After a long flight, they finally arrived at the central area of the Holy Blood Empire. After breaking through the hyperspace, a silent star field appeared in front of them. Led by the adjutant, Shen Zheng and Xuejun Xiangji entered a secret realm in the star field.
It was an extremely majestic secret realm, with continuous land extending to the distance and the edge. There were white clouds floating in the sky, and the ground was paved with hard square stones, extending to the end of the distant sky. On the hard ground of this square stone, there were huge castles standing, each of which was the same color, majestic in style, and full of the feeling of an iron-blooded military camp.
At the entrance of the secret realm, there was a welcoming team of thousands of people, lined up in a long queue, lining the road to welcome. A band played military music, and in the sound of this majestic music, a man wearing a solemn white general's uniform and looking very aristocratic came slowly.
"Dear Alliance Leader Shen, welcome to your arrival." The other party smiled and nodded slightly.
"This is the Grand Marshal of the Holy Blood Empire, Lord Sheng Daosen." The adjutant introduced Shen Zheng in a low voice.
"Hello, Lord Marshal." Shen Zheng bowed slightly, politely.
"Meet Lord Marshal!" Xue Jun Xiang Ji bowed in panic, acting very reserved.
"Who are you?" Sheng Daosen was obviously stunned, and after a moment he actually recognized Xue Jun Xiang Ji, and his eyes were full of surprise. "Miss Xiang Ji? Why are you with Alliance Leader Shen?"
"It's a long story." Shen Zheng smiled faintly, "I made a bet with Miss Xiang Ji. If she can hurt me, I will return the Blood Family's treasure, the God of Desolation, to her."
"There is such a thing?" Sheng Daosen obviously did not expect this situation. He didn't know what to say for a while, but just smiled.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh..." Xue Jun Xiang Ji lowered her head and didn't dare to look up at him.
"Please come in!" Sheng Daosen shook his head, pointed to the front, and walked along the long road with Shen Zheng towards the largest castle.
The castle is magnificent and full of aristocratic style, just like the feeling that Saint Dawson gives people. It can be seen that this is his mansion. Shen Zheng followed him into the mansion and came to an elegant reception room on the top floor. A waiter served fragrant tea.
"Please sit down." Saint Dawson saw that Xue Jun Xiang Ji was standing there a little restrained, and couldn't help but smile and pointed to a sofa next to Shen Zheng.
"No... I... I still..." Xue Jun Xiang Ji was very nervous. The Grand Marshal of the Empire, who was in charge of all the troops of the Empire, was the most trusted person of the Great Emperor, and the person with the greatest power outside the Great Emperor and the Senate. She never dared to think that she would become his guest of honor one day.
I have to thank Shen Zheng. She couldn't help but secretly look at Shen Zheng and thought so in her heart.
"She may be ready to look for opportunities to attack me at any time." Shen Zheng smiled. "Just let her go."
"How could I be here..." Xue Jun Xiang Ji shouted angrily, but then realized her impoliteness, blushed and lowered her head, and dared not say anything more.
Saint Dawson just smiled.
"It's great to see that the people of the Blood Family can get along with Alliance Leader Shen like this..." He wanted to say "harmonious coexistence", but for a moment he felt that Xue Jun and Xiang Ji were planning to plot against Shen Zheng together, which was not harmonious at all, so he was speechless and then laughed at himself.
"I don't know what to say." He said, "Anyway, you can give her such an opportunity, which shows that you have the intention to ease the relationship with the Blood Family."
"Marshal." Shen Zheng said, "I am not an ambitious person, so if anyone conflicts with me, it must be that he has violated my interests."
"Things on the border have always been chaotic. Some border marshals hold their own power and often allow their subordinates to cause trouble. But don't worry, I will give Leader Shen a satisfactory answer on this matter." St. Dawson said. "But I heard that Leader Shen seems to have traveled to another dimension?"
Shen Zheng knew that the so-called misunderstanding was just an excuse, and that this sentence was the other party's real purpose.
