After being reborn in the Mass Grave, she overturned her predecessor's power

Tianguang Pavilion is a dark force she established when she first entered Qingzhou, integrating assassination, intelligence gathering, and training of killers.

The name is taken from the proverb “There will be no dawn without daylight.” Most of the time, they are active in front of people as a martial arts force, and are known as the most powerful killer organization together with the Seven Killings Pavilion.

This time, the news about Shen Zhaoyan was sent back from Tianguang Pavilion, which was both unexpected and not surprising to her.

Jiang Xue Ning opened the letter from Tianguang Pavilion, which mentioned that when the killer was carrying out the assassination mission, he saw someone who looked like Shen Zhaoyan.

At the end of the letter, there was a sentence - "Classic of Mountains and Seas" said: East of the Quicksand and west of the Black Water, there is the Country of Chaoyun.

So people are in Chaoyun Country.

Jiang Xuening raised her eyes and looked at the people who followed in, "Have you heard of Chaoyun Country?"

“Does this country exist?”

"Never heard of it."

Finally, the well-read Shen Zhiyun spoke up, "It's the ancient country recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. It should exist. When I read the travel notes, I found that someone had traveled there, but it's not well known."

"Is he in Chaoyun Country?" Jiang Li asked.

"It's getting late, everyone should go to bed early." Jiang Xue Ning said.

After that night, she began to ask people to collect all the information about Chaoyun Kingdom while quickly handling the affairs of Xiangchu.

May 12th is a good day. The Qingzhou Army and the Phoenix Army, with a force of 200,000, march out to support the Langya Army.

Outside the city gate, two hundred thousand troops were ready to go.

Many people gathered around to watch, and Jiang Xue Ning led the officials to see them off.

Duan Xilou and Zuo Musheng rode up on horseback and stopped in front of her.

Duan Xilou, "We will definitely drive the Turks out and return victoriously."

Zuo Musheng, "Wait for me to come back."

"I'll wait for you to return victoriously."

Amid the exciting drumbeats, the 200,000-strong army slowly set out and soon disappeared from sight.

After returning to the palace, she called a meeting of people to discuss matters, arranged everything, and said that she was not feeling well and needed to rest for a while.

It was no secret that she had been ill and unconscious a few days ago, so she just used this excuse. It didn't matter whether people believed it or not.

Xiangchu had gone through a major purge and the aristocratic families had just been dealt with. It was a stable time and it wouldn't be a big problem for her to leave for a while.

In the study, there is the information about Chaoyun collected during this period. The latest letter from Tianguang Pavilion includes the detailed route to Chaoyun Kingdom.

Jiang Li looked at the map and said, "You have to go by land first, then take a boat and go by sea to the east. It will take at least half a month to get there."

Jiang Xue Ning said softly, "I have to go and see it in person."

He must stay in Xiangchu to preside over the overall situation and cannot leave. "Let Wu Jin and Bai Yu go with you."

When they finally set out, Bingtong and Du Yishui also went together. Together with the carefully selected secret guards, the group set out from Xiangchu before dawn.

After riding quickly for seven or eight days, we arrived at Canghai and stayed in a nearby town to rest.

Bai Yu went to buy a boat ticket to the East China Sea. It was obvious that they were not people to be trifled with, so the journey was smooth.

The next day, we arrived at the port.

Du Yishui was stunned by the huge ship in front of him, "Tsk tsk, even though I was born a pirate, I have never seen such a big ship."

"This ship can accommodate more than 3,000 people, and it takes more than a month to travel to the East China Sea and back." Bai Yu said with a pained look, "With so many of us, the ship tickets alone cost more than 20,000 taels of silver notes. This is too much of a profit."

The dock gradually became lively. Naturally, they bought tickets for the first-class cabin, each with a room in a good environment.

The secret guards live in the first-class cabin, close to them, so they can be linked up at any time in case of emergency.

The entire ship has six floors, and there are all kinds of people there.

Bingtong wrapped her hair with a headscarf and stood on the deck side by side with her, looking at the endless sea.

"Ahem, what a beautiful view."

A familiar voice sounded, and Jing Yu, dressed in red and flirtatious, was looking at them with burning eyes.

Jiang Xue Ning was speechless, "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to protect you."

The boat had already started and it was impossible to kick him off, so we had no choice but to let him follow.

Although there are many people on the entire ship, there are not many people in the upper class cabin, which can only accommodate dozens of people.

Those who can live here are either rich or noble, and are not ordinary people.

There are enchantingly beautiful women, mysterious men in black, knights traveling around the world with swords, and more are wealthy businessmen traveling between the two places to do business.

Her eyes swept across the people on the deck and stopped at a man in black clothes. The man was very young, with a sharp look on his face and a long sword hanging from his waist, giving him a cold and stern temperament.

The man turned around unexpectedly, their eyes met, and then quickly looked away.

Jing Yu asked unhappily, "What are you looking at?"

She said softly, "Dugu Moran."

Jing Yu just thought this surname was very special, and said in shock, "Could it have anything to do with Empress Dugu?"

Bai Yu followed her gaze. He had been in the martial arts world before, so he was quite familiar with these things. He touched his chin and said, "The Dugu family is a famous martial arts family, but since the Queen Dugu came to power, they have become more low-key."

Jing Yu took another look and looked at Jiang Xue Ning suspiciously, "Have you met before? Or maybe you were attracted by her beauty, otherwise how could you recognize her at the first sight?"

She rolled her eyes and said, "When I was looking into the Snow Clan, I also looked into the Dugu Clan and saw his portrait."

The founding queen, Dugu Jialing, was from the Snow Clan on her mother’s side and the Dugu Clan on her father’s side.

However, the Dugu family seemed to have little contact with the founding queen. Instead, after she ascended the throne, they became even more low-key, almost becoming a hermit family in the martial arts world.

"Young Master, they have been watching us." said the maid Nan Lu.

Ruan Xingtangxi, the green-dressed woman beside him, said softly, "It seems that those people have unusual origins."

Dugu Moran looked at the sea and said with a half-smile, "It is indeed unusual. It is really interesting that the queen who is famous all over the world would appear on a ship to the East China Sea."

Ruan Xingtang couldn't help but look over there again, and said with some admiration, "Is this the King of Xiang Jiang Xue Ning? He is so young."

Gu Du Mo Ran's expression did not change much. He always kept his distance from such young, beautiful and ambitious women.

It’s probably because there was one such person in the Dugu family, and such a person is sometimes a disaster to the family.

When Jiang Xue Ning and the others went to eat, they passed by Dugu Moran and the others. Both sides acted indifferent and did not even glance at each other.

Although they recognized each other's identities, they kept their distance from each other. After all, they were not in a relationship that required them to talk.

By night, the ship had reached the center of the ocean, and the boundless sea reflected the starry sky.

During the break, Bingtong left Tianlang to her, "There are too many good and bad people on this ship, and Tianlang is very alert, so let him accompany you."

"it is good."

Tianlang obediently followed her into the room and laid on the floor beside the bed to watch over her.

On the first night at sea, Jiang Xuening slept soundly.
