The Emperor is Above

Chapter 227 If the Solitary Hill Land Belongs to Me

Qing Yi looked around at the shocked expressions of the crowd and couldn’t help but chuckle, “The rites say: princes have states, officials have families, and those who are given titles and lead ministers have their own household servants.

The ritual system only states that the fief of a high-ranking official is three li in area, with a private army of forty people and eight hundred people under his command, and that the size of his house should not exceed the regulations, but it never mentions that it is not allowed to have giants, strange beasts or fierce birds of the Wangmang clan as retainers.

"Ugh--"

Liang Qiu Juzhong sighed in shock, looked at the twelve giant warriors with great curiosity, and secretly glanced at the four Great Wilderness Dragon Vultures, and then he couldn't help but exclaimed,

"I've learned a lot. I've really learned a lot. For hundreds of years, I've used the giants as retainers and followers, and I've heard of a few princes and ministers.

Especially the Western Wilderness lord, Marquis Xi Guo, who lived a hundred years ago, had a hundred personal guards made of the giant Kuafu clan. They were invincible in charging into battle and were victorious in every battle.

However, hiring exotic beasts and fierce birds, especially the Great Wilderness Dragon Vulture, as retainers and family elders is indeed unheard of in thousands of years. You are the first to do so."

Bai Ze then took over the conversation, nodded and smiled, "Brother Yi is right. Since the etiquette does not prohibit the use of exotic beasts and fierce birds as retainers, although it is quite amazing, it does not exceed the rules.

Moreover, the Great Wilderness Dragon Vulture is a third-grade fierce bird, and its intelligence is not inferior to that of ordinary people. If it can get such a group of powerful helpers out of thin air, even if the Lord knows about it, he will not have any objection. "

Qing Yi heard this and smiled faintly, "What can you say, my Lord? If there were no group of Great Wilderness Dragon Vultures to help, how could the offensive of the Jiming Marsh people be defeated so easily?"

These words made it difficult for Bai Ze and Liang Qiu Juzhong to respond. After all, they were all close confidants of the king, and the king's eldest son was not far behind them. It was inevitable that they would say something inappropriate and be caught.

Taishu Bingxin didn't say a word just now. Except for the initial glance at the giant warrior of Wangmang clan and the dragon eagle, he had been quietly observing the people in Guqiu behind Qingyi.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit cold at this time, he pointed at the Guqiu female soldiers at the back of the crowd and asked Qing Yi loudly: "Guqiu Yi, Sergeant, I see that the Guqiu Fengtu private army and the people are extremely powerful. Even the dozens of women at the back are at the ninth-grade warrior level. Could they all be your private army?"

Qing Yi looked back at the dozens of Guqiu female soldiers who were also wearing armor and holding halberds, shields, bows and arrows. He felt a headache for this group of female soldiers, so he shook his head and smiled: "General Taishu, you are joking. The etiquette says that the senior vassal has 40 private soldiers. How could I expand my private army without authorization?

The forty people behind the giant Wangmang and the elder of the Longjiu family are my private army, and the remaining two hundred or so young and strong men are all militia composed of young and strong people from Guqiuting.

As for the dozens of women and young men at the back of the team you asked about, they are merely the families of the Lonely Hill Fengtu private army and the families of the national militia."

"No way? Nowadays, even the families of the private army and militia in Guqiu Fengtu have ninth-grade warriors?"

Tai Shu Bingxin thought that he had seen a lot during his years as the leader of the Black Armor Cavalry, but at this moment, he still couldn't help but look incredulous and said,

"Guqiu Yishangshi, according to what you said, there are hundreds of people above the ninth-grade warrior realm in the entire Guqiu, and even many young people are ninth-grade. How did you do it?"

"Haha, the so-called favorable time, favorable location and favorable people, if you get one of them, you can take advantage of it. They relied on the advantage of the solitary hill to advance to the ninth-grade warrior realm within half a year."

Qing Yi couldn't help but feel a little excited at this moment. He pointed to the solitary mound a few miles away and said with a slightly proud smile,
"Commander Taishu, Commander Liangqiu, Commander Bai Ze, look at the appearance of the Lonely Hill burial mound. Do you feel that there is something different?"

"What's different?"

Taishu Bingxin and the others looked at the burial mound carefully in astonishment. Suddenly, he realized, "It is the beginning of winter in October, and the trees should be withering and the grass should be withering. However, the trees on the burial mound are still lush and green. If we didn't know that it is the beginning of winter, we would have thought it was still spring or summer. What is going on?"

Liang Qiu Juzhong was also puzzled at this time: "Although there is mist around Jiming Lake and fog often lingers in the morning and evening in winter, at noon when the fog should dissipate, the solitary hill is still shrouded in a layer of fog."

Bai Ze's eyes turned when he heard this, and he looked at Qing Yi with surprise and admiration: "Brother Yi, I heard that you asked the Grand Doctor Yuan Mu Shang for advice on the way of the talisman master from the Minister of the Imperial Household. Could it be that you have made great progress in the practice of talisman master and set up a rune formation in the solitary hill burial ground?"

"Hahaha!" Qing Yi did not directly answer the three people's questions. Instead, he smiled and said, "Since you are curious, why don't you go and take a look in person?"

"The Central Division and all the troops should rest on the spot. The firemen should start cooking immediately. We will be back soon!" Bai Ze turned around and gave the order before catching up with Taishu Bingxin and Liangqiu Juzhong.

Xing Boyun, the eldest son of Lord Xing, who had long been forgotten by the others, looked at them leaving on their own, and at this moment he was gritting his teeth in anger.

Through the performance of the two Black Armor Cavalry Commanders and the Central Division Commandant Bai Ze just now, he knew that he relied on the support of Zhonghang Huan, Qi Xi and other nobles, and had lost the support of these three people.

He transferred his anger to Qing Yi and ordered the two black armored cavalrymen who were carrying him in a soft gondola: "Carry me and catch up with them. I want to see how Gu Qiu Yi has such strength."

When Taishu Bingxin was the first to approach the one-mile radius of the Solitary Hill, he sniffed the air carefully and suddenly widened his eyes: "Spiritual energy! It's really spiritual energy, such a rich spiritual energy!"

"It's really spiritual energy, the rich ones have turned into spiritual mist!" Liang Qiu Juzhong was also shocked and stretched out his hand, feeling the benefits brought by the faint spiritual mist, "No wonder Guqiu has so many ninth-grade warriors, even village women and teenagers are ninth-grade, this place is simply a treasure land for cultivation given by God."

"Hey, Commander Liang Qiu, what are you talking about? Where in the world is there any heaven-sent treasure land?" Bai Ze retorted, "Guqiu was just an ordinary mound in the past.

Over the past hundreds of years, whenever a large army invaded the Daze Plains to suppress the wild people, they would often station a troop here. A rough estimate shows that this has happened more than a dozen times. In recent years, nobles and ministers have often led their troops here to hunt, but they have not discovered any heaven-sent treasures.

I think it's all thanks to Brother Yi's hard work and his self-taught rune array layout that the spiritual energy of the Solitary Hill became more abundant day by day, and eventually turned into the blessed place for cultivation today."

Liangqiu Juzhong was stunned at first, then nodded repeatedly and said: "Captain Bai Ze is right, I just made a slip of the tongue, but I can't help but envy the ability of Sergeant Guqiu Yi to transform the entire Guqiu into this state."

While everyone was talking, Xing Boyun didn't say a word, but his eyes, which seemed to have suddenly realized something, flashed with a hint of greed from time to time.

Looking around at the solitary hills, the grass and trees are green, the flowers are fragrant, and the leaves of the spiritual herbs and medicines on the ground are covered with drops of spiritual liquid. Even just breathing in a breath makes one feel particularly comfortable.

Xing Boyun thought to himself, "No wonder Guqiu Yi was just an ordinary commoner at the beginning of the year. In just over half a year, not only all his private soldiers have been promoted to the ninth-grade warrior realm.

Even the militiamen, village women, and teenagers under his command were able to successfully advance to the ninth rank, all thanks to the abundant spiritual energy of the Solitary Hill."

Thinking of this, an idea emerged in his mind uncontrollably: "If the land of Guqiu belongs to me, wouldn't it be..."
