Star Trace Gate

Qingliang Prefecture, afternoon, early afternoon.

After Ren Ye briefly discussed the battle plan with Taoist Fenglin, he left the room.

As soon as he went out, he saw Brother Huang standing in the inner hall, looking at him sideways.

"Brother, do you have diabetes? Why are your mouth and eyes crooked?" Ren Ye asked with concern.

"Damn it, you haven't been back for so long, and you make such a big fuss when you come back?" Huang Ge cursed, "Have you ever considered the feelings of this prefect?"

"Who are we to each other? That's the relationship between the majority shareholder and the second largest shareholder." Ren Ye replied in a cheesy way: "Family members don't talk about outside matters. You should stay awake for the next few days."

"I do have some knowledge of this. There's going to be a war. Even if you ask me to sleep, I can't." Huang Wei didn't refute, but just said quickly: "Tell me, what do I need to do?"

"You don't have to worry about the uprising, it's almost done." Ren Ye replied with clear thoughts: "You just need to do three things. First, clear a large open space for the passing Southern Xinjiang army to station. The area should be clean, and some necessary items should be sent by officials as early as possible. Second, do a good job of reception. There should be many fourth-grade supernatural powers coming to our New Year's Eve party. Li Yan will also bring people, as well as some high-ranking officials from Southern Xinjiang, bandit bosses, and even princes. These people are all going to participate in the war, so they must not be neglected. It's best to clear out the palace and let them stay there."

"Aren't we going to send out troops in one day? Is it necessary to set aside a separate state guesthouse?" Huang Wei asked concisely.

"If the war goes wrong, we may have to fight in rotation. By then, Qingliang Mansion will be the rear, and some people will come here to recuperate. We should be prepared in advance, so that we can show the strength of our empire." Ren also winked at him.

"I understand." Huang Wei nodded slightly: "I will prepare it now."

"There is one more thing." Feng Lin suddenly interrupted: "Sir Huang, you still need to mobilize 10,000 soldiers in the city."

"Huh? Are the soldiers from my Qingliang Prefecture also going to join the war?" Huang Wei was stunned.

Fenglin shook his head: "We prepared these 10,000 people to help the Southern Xinjiang army transport supplies and provide rear support. They will definitely be used."

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you." Ren Ye pulled Fenglin to introduce him to Huang Ge and other officials, "I'm sure some of you have already seen this military advisor of mine, but some are not familiar with him. Let me formally introduce you to Taoist Fenglin, the former first aide of my father's account."

"Like thunder."

"Oh, Master Military Advisor, I am so lucky to see you again in this life. I remember the last time I saw you was at the wedding of King Huai."

"I have only met you once."

"Yes, I've only met him once."

"...!"

A group of old officials from Qingliang Prefecture surrounded Fenglin and began to get close to him.

However, there was a clerk with a very stubborn face who seemed a little absent-minded. He stood outside the crowd and looked very reserved, as if he wanted to say hello but was embarrassed.

"Tap!"

Just as everyone was chatting with each other, a centurion guarding the city gate rushed into the inner hall and shouted, "Report to His Royal Highness Prince Huai, fourteen men in black robes suddenly came from outside the city and said they wanted to see you."

Ren also turned his head: "Have you signed up for your number?"

“They say they are people who keep watch over the new year.”

"Here they come, here they come." Ren Ye clapped his hands excitedly, "Come on, everyone, be more enthusiastic and go out to greet them."

"I feel very tired, so I won't go." Fenglin clasped his fists and said, "I will rest in the mansion. Your Highness can call me if you need anything."

"it is good."

Ren also knew that he didn't like to show up in front of outsiders, so he didn't force him. He just led Huang Ge, Lao Liu, Xu Bangzi and a large group of Qingliang Prefecture officials out of the city to welcome him.

……

A quarter of an hour.

Outside the south gate of Qingliang Prefecture, Ren Ye walked to the front of a group of people in black and asked softly, "Who is keeping watch?"

"Haha, you are... the little Huai Wangba who has been very popular in the headquarters recently?" A middle-aged man with a slight accent stepped out of the line and smiled slightly, "The military department is here to keep watch on the New Year, saving the world."

Ren also immediately bowed: "Greetings, Senior Brother Shousuiren."

"You're welcome." Ji Canghai slightly stepped aside and introduced the thirteen fellow masters standing behind him one by one, and said softly: "With your shout, almost all the masters of my Fire Division outside have come. In the next few days, we will listen to you. Whoever you say to kill, we will kill him."

Ji Canghai has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and is very manly. At first glance, he looks like a super-brave warrior, and a high-quality one at that.

Ren Ye listened to what the other party said and really wanted to shout, "Come on, big brother, have a cigarette." But unfortunately, this essential item for maintaining relationships could not be brought into Qingliang Mansion.

He asked about everyone's well-being one by one, then made way and said, "Let's go, let's go back to the city first."

While the few of them were chatting, Huang Wei had already instructed the Qingliang Prefecture officials around him to prepare for the three things that Ren Ye mentioned, and they were extremely efficient.

"Okay, let's go."

After Ji Canghai responded, he followed Ren Ye into the city.

Unexpectedly, they had only walked less than two miles when the gatekeeper caught up with them and shouted, "Your Highness, Prince Huai, there are another twenty-two black-robed men who claim to be the keepers of the New Year and want to see you."

Ji Canghai smiled upon hearing the voice, shook his head and sighed, "They have to be Lin Xiang's disciples. After hearing this voice, these guys who were originally away on vacation are really more diligent than each other. They all came here on a hot wheel."

Ren was also stunned for a moment, and asked casually: "Is the migration site still busy recently?"

"It's more than lively." Ji Canghai replied softly, "Among the second-level star gates, Yin Qi of the Soul System is almost in a state of destruction. In the battle of the star gate in Heliang Ancient City, he killed more than 300 aliens and became famous in one battle. Among the third-level star gates, there are also seven or eight genius teams that we have never heard of emerging. And as for the fourth-level star gates, your senior brother Fan Ming, wherever he goes, he covers the sky with one hand, and many uneducated star gate aliens know about it... There is a place called Ancient China, and in Ancient China there is a god named Erlang Zhenjun."

"Is my brother Fan so awesome?" Ren was also a little surprised.

"When a god enters the fourth rank, he should suppress an area! This is not something I say casually." Ji Canghai turned his head to look at Ren Ye, and teased softly: "Little brother, you have to get thicker and harder quickly...!"

"He's OK." Old Liu, who had been following silently, suddenly interrupted and said, "He reacted as soon as I touched him."

Ji Canghai's eyes lit up: "This brother is."

"He is the resident magical power user of my Qingliang Mansion and also my best teammate." Ren Ye introduced: "He is a light giant inheritance, which is considered half rare."

"Half rare?" Ji Canghai and a group of people were surprised after hearing this, because this evaluation was a bit high.

"The Stone of Life in the Temple of Light at the migration site was taken away by him." Ren Ye added again.

"I've seen this information..." Ji Canghai stood in awe: "This small Qingliang Mansion is really full of hidden talents."

"Not really. I can't even get a number in Qingliang Mansion." Old Liu immediately added, "Ren Ye's beloved concubine is of the Yin-Yang system. She was born with a double body and has obtained the Yin-Yang Qi that can evolve all things. Ren Ye's military advisor is also a fourth-rank Yin-Yang master. There is also Tang Feng, the God of Sexual Desire... Oh no, the God of Desire. If my inheritance is considered half rare, then his is at least two-thirds rare. Oh, yes, there is also Li Yan, the God of Wealth of the Fraud Chamber of Commerce."

The crowd of fourth-grade people who were keeping watch for the New Year all smiled happily after hearing Lao Liu's inventory.

Ji Canghai held it in for a long time and said: "You... your team has something special."

"This is really something! Damn, the Human Emperor is indeed blessed with great fortune... He is just a little Karami of the second level, where did he get so many talents to form a team?" An upright young man couldn't help but sigh.

Then, he immediately realized that he had lost his words, turned his head to look at Ren Ye and explained: "I'm not saying you're Karamiha, I'm just saying you're too lame, oh, not really, it's just that your level is too low...!"

Ren also smiled slightly: "Whatever Senior Brother says is right."

"You see, our little brother is very sweet-mouthed." A charming lady replied with a faint smile.

Lao Liu interrupted, “Sister, I have a sweet mouth too.”

The royal sister was stunned for a moment, her face slightly red: "Don't joke with me, I will take it seriously."

"?!"

Lao Liu's body trembled for a moment, and he thought to himself: "Fuck, there's a mouth!"

……

Ren Ye originally wanted to pick up people at the city gate and then return to the government office to entertain everyone.

But he didn't expect that he walked back three times in a row and was forced to go back three times.

The people in black clothes who were keeping watch came in waves, and at about the same time.

The first batch, led by Ji Canghai, consisted of fourteen people.

The second group was led by a young female Taoist friend named Feng Zijiao. They had 22 people, both men and women, of all ages, and all of them were fourth-grade.

The third group was led by Fan Ming. He gathered thirty-six people on the way, and all of them wore black clothes. They came to Qingliang Mansion in a mighty manner, wanting to help his cheap junior brother start the war.

By evening, the number of fourth-rank keepers had exceeded fifty and was heading for eighty.

Ren Ye was both excited and grateful. The master only asked him two questions before slowly pushing open the gate of Suzaku City and sending almost unlimited reinforcements to Qingliang Prefecture.

You know, after becoming a player, the higher a mortal goes, the greater the difficulties and obstacles he will encounter. There is no one who can become a fourth-grade player without having experienced life and death several times and crawled out of a pile of the dead.

Masters of this level are extremely rare, not to mention for those who keep watch over the New Year, but also for the entire Daqian and southern Xinjiang. It takes a long time to cultivate, and it takes time for a group of them to emerge after a lot of trials and tribulations.

In front of the city gate, Ren was no longer planning to leave. He only ordered the officials to set up a few long tables. Everyone gathered together as if they were having a party, chatting while waiting for the man in black to appear.

In the evening, the breeze blows gently.

There were already huge crowds of people inside the city gate. In order to implement Ren Ye's request of "warm reception", Huang Wei mobilized many local people to come and line the streets to welcome them, and provided them with meals and money, just like an organization that hired people to sell health insoles.

Next to a long table, Ji Canghai was drinking tea, turning his head to look at the surrounding scenery, and suddenly said: "You know what, although the Qingliangfu Star Gate is not big, the scenery is really beautiful, and after the alliance with Nanjiang this time, the development route has become wider, and the future is limitless... To be honest, Ren Ye's exclusive Star Gate, although it is sandwiched between the two dynasties and it is not easy to get started, it is much more unique than the exclusive Star Gates of other supernatural powers. Most of the exclusive Star Gates are broken, there is no connected area, and it is almost impossible to expand the territory."

"Well, the Human Emperor is naturally different." Fan Ming agreed: "Even my Guanjiangkou Star Gate cannot be expanded."

When Huang Ge heard this, he immediately rushed to Ji Canghai and said, "I have to say, you really have a very good vision! And you also have a very keen sense of economics, politics, and military affairs."

He used two "extremely" in a row, which made Ji Canghai feel a little bit cheesy: "Haha, I just said it casually."

"You just said it casually, but it really shows your level of self-awareness." Brother Huang continued, "To be honest, when Ren Ye first asked me to come to Qingliang Mansion to help, I was very resistant. Because I was originally working in Shanghai, the working environment was very relaxed, the salary was also generous, and there were many holidays. Tell me, who would have nothing better to do than to come to this godforsaken Star Gate to work!"

"Oh, you are also a year-old person?"

"Yes, I used to work under Yan Duoduo as a regional manager." Huang Wei's mouth was foaming with white foam, and his eyes were stubborn. "But the moment Ren Ye led me into the door, I was really shocked! I have never seen such an exclusive star gate! Most of the people here are enlightened, not residual souls, they have real life! And the history, turmoil, cultural changes, etc. experienced here have thousands or even tens of thousands of years of history. There were even witch gods in the southern border...!"

When Lao Liu heard this, he immediately raised his hand and said, "Yes, what he said is true. I have seen the witch god!"

"Ah?" Ji Canghai was confused.

"I have seen the tomb of the witch god." Old Liu felt that he had exaggerated a bit and immediately added something.

"Oh." Ji Canghai breathed a sigh of relief.

"So, when Ren Ye told me about the super empire plan, I chose to join here without hesitation. At that time, I felt extremely peaceful and full of energy, as if I was reborn." Brother Huang said with his hands dancing.

"Heh." Fan Ming laughed for no apparent reason.

Ji Canghai became interested: "Super Empire Plan? What does that mean?"

"It's like this. I have an original stock subscription plan. You can take a look at it first..." Huang Wei actually took out a large stack of ancient books and materials from his consciousness space in an instant and handed it to the other party.

Ji Canghai’s expression froze: “Oh oh oh oh oh…you are already prepared for this.”

Old Liu immediately poured tea for his elder brother, nodded and said: "Sign it, I will take you to see the witch god later, it is real!"

……

Outside Shangyu County.

A carriage stopped and Han Chan, dressed in white, lifted the curtain and walked down.

He looked towards a green mountain and said softly, "You don't need to follow me. I can go up by myself."

"it is good."

After saying that, Han Chan walked into the mountains alone.

On the day he returned to Daqian, he received a secret letter from southern Xinjiang.

The content was very simple. Xu Ersan had already been to the Bu Lao Peak and shot the Soul Banner and Blood Pill into the abyss, but it did not cause any strange phenomena, and the ominous stone fetus showed no signs of awakening.

Why is that?

Han Chan was very puzzled. He wanted to go to the mountain to meet his uncle and ask him in person.
