Chương 63: Chapter 101: Hundred

Beasts Mountain When Jiang wenfeng arrived at the Ascension Pavilion, he unexpectedly discovered that Huang Yunxiao, the county commandant of Anyang County, was already waiting there. Seeing him, Jiang wenfeng hurriedly cupped his hands in salute.

"Uncle." Huang Yunxiao nodded, his expression somewhat grave.

"Urgent military intelligence has come from the border. The barbarians have gathered an army of one hundred thousand at the border of White Horse Prefecture. Their intentions are unclear."

"Through the captured tongues and scouts, we learned that these one hundred thousand troops are all elites among the barbarian warriors, almost all of them martial artists above the acquired realm." One hundred thousand martial artists!? Jiang wenfeng found it somewhat unbelievable. One had to know that the entire barbarian race had at most ten million people. In the previous Battle of Crane Prefecture, the Left Route Army's one hundred and ten thousand soldiers had encountered an elite barbarian force.

Among thirty thousand warriors, nearly ten thousand were martial artists. In the end, the Left Route Army had paid an enormous price before completely killing those thirty thousand barbarian elites. And now, how could the other side still produce so many martial artists? Could it be that they had clansmen who were born martial artists?

"The Military Office has already issued orders."

"County commandant offices everywhere are to recruit martial artists from among the people and send them to the Cloud Central border army to prepare for battle."

"You are someone from the Ascension Pavilion. If you can inform the immortals in advance, perhaps you won't have to risk yourself on the front line." Jiang wenfeng was his niece's husband, and now his niece was pregnant. Naturally, Huang Yunxiao did not want him to go to the front line and fight the barbarians. After all, the barbarians had gathered one hundred thousand martial artists all at once this time. No matter how one looked at it, it was very strange. Reading on Amazon or a pirate site?

"Mm. Then I will personally write a letter later and have someone deliver it to the Immortal Reception Court in the royal city, to see what the immortals say." Huang Yunxiao did not want him to go to the front line, and he himself did not want to go either. The Jiang family had just been granted the status of an aristocratic family and received many rewards. They were not lacking that bit of noble title. Seeing that he had listened to his advice, Huang Yunxiao secretly let out a breath of relief.

He had truly been afraid that Jiang wenfeng would be stubborn and insist on going to the front line again to kill enemies and earn a title.

"All right. Go handle this matter first. I have to return and prepare the recruitment affairs." After seeing Huang Yunxiao off, Jiang wenfeng immediately returned to the second floor of the Ascension Pavilion and wrote a letter.

"Assistant Clerk Fang."

"Immediately have someone deliver this letter at full speed to the Immortal Reception Court in the royal city and hand it to the immortal." Fang Qing accepted the letter, cupped his hands, and hurriedly left.

"Assistant Clerk Gongyang." Jiang wenfeng looked toward Gongyang He, who was writing something at the side, and spoke.

"Steward." Gongyang He stopped writing and cupped his hands.

"How many commoners have bought spiritual seeds during this period?"

"Steward, please wait a moment. This subordinate will check." Gongyang He took out an account book from the side and carefully flipped through it for a while before saying,"Reporting to the steward, there are twenty-one households in total."

"The total income from spiritual seeds is…" He thought Jiang wenfeng was asking about the income from selling spiritual seeds and was about to report it, but Jiang wenfeng directly interrupted him.

"It has already been half a year since they purchased the spiritual seeds."

"Have Storehouse Officer Yu Hong take people and visit them one by one according to the registered addresses. See whether any commoners have successfully cultivated spiritual seeds."

"The immortals care a great deal about this matter." Gongyang He hurriedly cupped his hands.

"This subordinate will handle it immediately." Great Yu, Directly Governed Royal City. Inside the Immortal Reception Court, a eunuch respectfully stood before Li Heshan and said flatteringly, "Immortal Li, His Majesty requests that you make a trip to the prison of the Inspectorate." Li Heshan frowned.

"What is it?" The eunuch looked around, then lowered his voice and said, "A barbarian tongue was captured at the border. Some major intelligence was obtained from that tongue. His Majesty means… he would like the immortal to go and listen." Barbarians? Major intelligence? Li Heshan was somewhat puzzled, but luckily, he had nothing else to do at the moment, so he decided to go and see what this was about.

"Junior Sister Pei, I'll go over first." After saying this to Pei Yuwan, who was cultivating beside him, Li Heshan followed the eunuch to the prison of the Inspectorate. Many Black Scale Guards surrounded a figure wearing a golden mask and came forward to welcome him.

"Greetings, Immortal Li." The golden-masked figure cupped his hands slightly. This person was Jin Xiao, one of the three commanders of the Black Scale Guards. His strength had already reached the fifth layer of Qi Refining, making him a very strong existence among innate experts. Li Heshan nodded.

"Where is he?" Jin Xiao turned sideways, signaling for him to go forward. The group arrived deep inside the prison of the Inspectorate and stopped before a specially made prison cell.

"Bring him out!" Jin Xiao gave the order, and several Black Scale Guards immediately rushed into the prison cell and dragged out the barbarian warrior, whose entire body was bound with iron chains.
