The streets of Xunyang County.
It stands to reason that it is not long after the Chinese New Year, so it should be very lively here.
But now, this place is actually occupied by groups of people wearing black armor, and the whole street takes on a solemn look.
Su Xuan walked on the street and looked at the groups of soldiers with serious faces.
Immediately afterwards, he came to the prefect's mansion located in the center of Xunyang County.
"stop!"
"No idlers can enter the prefect's mansion!"
At this moment, two soldiers wearing black heavy armor stopped Su Xuan.
They are all warriors from the Western Realm. This kind of cultivation can already serve as guard commanders in some families, but in the Liyang Dynasty's army, they are just small soldiers.
"I'm telling you, Lord Grand Administrator, Su Xuan, the son of Su Mu of the Su family, is here to visit."
Su Xuan bowed his hands to the two soldiers.
Although Su Xuan was well-known and was the youngest grand master of the Liyang Dynasty, not many people had seen him, so the two soldiers guarding the gate of the prefect's mansion did not recognize Su Xuan.
Otherwise, even if they were given some courage, they would not dare to stop Su Xuan.
"Son of Su Mu of the Su family, are you Su Xuan, the youngest grand master of the Liyang Dynasty?"
After hearing Su Xuan's words, the two soldiers suddenly widened their eyes and looked at Su Xuan in disbelief. The young man standing in front of them was actually the Grandmaster Su who was famous throughout the Liyang Dynasty?
"So to speak, please tell your Lord Prefect, Su Xuan, I'll see you."
Su Xuan nodded.
"Please wait a moment, we will report immediately."
One of the soldiers showed a look of respect on his face, and then entered the prefect's mansion first.
Their attitude towards Su Xuan at this moment can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes.
This is the status that strength brings to people. The stronger the strength, the more respectful others will naturally be.
Soon, the soldier came out and brought Su Xuan in respectfully.
After Su Xuan entered the prefect's mansion, he found that there were already many people here, and two of them were familiar to him.
The most familiar one among them is naturally Liu Yuan, the governor of Xunyang. After not seeing him for two months, Liu Yuan looked a lot more haggard.
The other one is the current head of the Tianjian Sect, Tianjian, Qin Baxian. Compared with a few months ago, Qin Ba's pioneering light is more obvious at this moment, like a sharp sword that splits the heaven and the earth.
At this moment, there was a young man next to Qin Baxian, with a three-foot Qingfeng on his back. His eyes were gentle, but he also had a masculine air.
What made Su Xuan feel most afraid was the middle-aged man wearing a set of black armor sitting in the main seat.
This middle-aged man was wearing unicorn black armor, with long black hair that reached his waist. The unicorn was originally an auspicious beast, but the black unicorn symbolized killing. Obviously, this was an invincible general who roamed the battlefield.
Especially since this person was in the dominant position, even Qin Baxian and Liu Yuan could only sit next to him.
"Old Liu, this must be the youngest grandmaster of our Liyang Dynasty, Su Xuan of the Su family. He has a majestic appearance and a majestic figure. He deserves to be named the number one genius of our Liyang Dynasty."
At this time, the middle-aged man in black armor sitting on the main seat stroked his beard and smiled.
"Yes, he is Su Xuan."
Liu Yuan said with a smile that he hadn't seen Su Xuan for a while since we said goodbye some time ago.
Su Xuan was still as outstanding as ever. He could sense that after not seeing him for a few days, Su Xuan's aura became stronger.
Damn, this talent is really enviable.
He no longer knew how long it had been since his cultivation had improved.
"Su Yuan, the person next to me is General Zuowei, one of the Twelve Generals of the Liyang Dynasty. Xiao Yuanzheng, a third-rank official, is still above me, the prefect of Xunyang."
"He turns out to be General Zuowei!"
Su Xuan was secretly surprised when he heard this. The Liyang Dynasty set up twelve guards to command the world's troops.
The generals of each guard are full-time military commanders of the third rank, at the same level as the six ministers of Li Hu Li Bing Xing Gong.
And ranking above the generals of the Twelve Guards are only the generals and the current prime minister.
To put it bluntly, this Zuowei general is definitely one of the most powerful people in the Liyang Dynasty.
"Su Xuan, long time no see."
At this time, Qin Baxian walked up to Su Xuan and greeted Su Xuan.
"Master Qin, long time no see."
Su Xuan responded with a smile.
Three months have passed since the last time he saw Qin Baxian. After three months, he and Qin Baxian have changed a lot.
"Master Qin, don't you know who is next to you?"
Su Xuan asked curiously.
He looked at the young man next to Qin Baxian. He had never seen this young man before, and he knew this young man's cultivation level just by looking at him.
The sixth realm is the innate realm.
Being able to break through to the innate realm at this age can be said to be a genius.
Qin Baxian smiled lightly and said: "This is my disciple, named Lin Yueyun, and he is also the next head of my Tianjian Sect."
"Yue Yun, I came to meet you, Senior Su. He is Su Xuan, who is known as the number one genius of our Liyang Dynasty and is the youngest Grand Master in the world today."
"I've met Senior Su." Lin Yueyun bowed to Su Xuan very obediently. At the same time, he was also looking at Su Xuan curiously.
Su Xuan only felt strange. Why did he feel like he was suddenly old.
But he didn't say anything.
With his current level, he can indeed be called a senior by all his peers.
At this time, Liu Yuan sighed and said: "Su Xuan, I'm afraid you don't know yet, our Liyang Dynasty may be going to war with the Izumo Empire."
"According to the information we have gathered, the Izumo Empire now has 200,000 troops in Xihua County, and may launch an attack on Yelang County of our Liyang Dynasty at any time."
"The garrison of Yelang County is only 30,000. In any case, it is impossible to stop the 200,000 troops of the Izumo Empire. Once Yelang County is destroyed, then our Xunyang County will be next."
"Is there really going to be a war?"
Su Xuan frowned. No wonder there were soldiers with weapons on the way he came. It turned out that there was going to be a war. In other words, the news he heard before was not a rumor, but the truth.
If this is really the case, then they, the Su family, must take action.
But in this kind of battle between countries, what can the Su family do?
Xiao Yuanzheng sneered: "The Izumo Empire is ambitious and wants to annex Yelang County of our Liyang Dynasty, and it doesn't matter whether his mouth is strong enough!"
Su Xuan looked at Liu Yuan and said, "What is the name of the Izumo Empire sending troops this time?"
Whether it is in the previous life or in this life, fighting in a war must be done with a name. Fighting without a name is an illegal fight and will not gain the support and understanding of the people.
Liu Yuan shook his head and said: "There is no name yet. The Izumo Empire army is just using the drill as an excuse to conduct training on the border between the two countries. It has not said that it will launch an attack on our Liyang Dynasty."
"But anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Izumo Empire will definitely launch a war."
"You can ask Lao Xiao for specific matters."
Hearing this, Su Xuandang immediately looked at the tall and powerful General Zuowei next to him.
Xiao Yuanzheng snorted coldly and said: "In the last battle between our Liyang Dynasty and the Izumo Empire, the Izumo Empire lost its troops and its 50,000-strong army was destroyed. This time we are trying to regain our position."
"But our Liyang Dynasty has a vast territory and countless talents. No matter how rampant the Izumo Empire is, it is just a bunch of rats!"
Liu Yuanshou gave Xiao Yuanzheng a roll of his eyes, exposing his aloofness.
"Old Xiao, can you stop being so confident? Our Liyang Dynasty is indeed powerful, but now in order to deal with the invasion of the northern grassland people, most of its troops have been transferred to the north. The number of soldiers who can fight now is only 50,000 at most. "
"Even if we include the 30,000 defenders of Yelang County, we will only have 80,000 at most."
"Eighty thousand versus two hundred thousand, the advantage is not mine!"
Su Xuan fell silent.
He was thinking whether to tell the story about the Izumo Empire's eldest prince looking for him.
But he thought about it and decided not to talk about it yet.
Once these words are spoken, he will bear corresponding responsibilities.
