Chapter 1162: Battle God Realm (Part 1)
Yan Bei’s hometown was in Anyuan County, which was under the jurisdiction of Feilong County. It was under the jurisdiction of An Province, which was an upper province. The governor of An Province was Pei Caihua’s man and had just taken office.
Anyuan County was located at the border of the prefecture and county. It was only an hour’s walk away from the prefecture and county capital. Relying on the two cities, it developed well and was prosperous. It was comparable to a lower county.
When they left, they did not hide from anyone. All the forces had received the news. Seeing that Little Four and Yang Hongling were also there, as well as the experts of the Fate Academy who were secretly protecting them, even the Su family did not dare to kill them at this time.
In less than fifteen minutes.
The Kun Peng Boat descended from the sky and stopped three miles away from Anyuan County.
Everyone left.
Zhang Ronghua put away the Kun Peng Boat. Seeing that he was nervous, impatient, and a little scared, he teased him.” I didn’t see you like this on the battlefield of the Sorcerer Tribe. Are you scared now?”
Yan Bei was shy. He touched the back of his head and stammered, unable to say a word for a long time.
” What?” Yang Hongling glared at him.” He hasn’t been home for three years. Isn’t that normal?”
The three of them and the beast set off towards the county town.
Under Zhang Ronghua’s inquiry, Yan Bei introduced his family’s situation.
When he was young, his family was in a good condition. His father was doing business and once went out to purchase goods and died in the hands of bandits. His mother missed him so much that she fell ill and passed away not long after.
When Father Yan left, he didn’t have much silver left. He had bet it all on the goods that were stolen by bandits. Even though they were later exterminated by the government, their things were gone. They relied on their grandmother to survive. With that little money, they lived frugally and raised him.
The coronation ceremony was just around the corner. Without money and power, not to mention relatives and friends, even the neighbors looked down on them. A dog could bully them twice.
Huang Shanshan, who grew up together with him, had a very good relationship with him.
The families of the two families were originally the same, but her family was very lucky. After Father Yan left, Father Huang’s business grew bigger and bigger. In the end, she became the richest man in Anyuan County.
Their feelings for each other were still the same, without any changes.
When she was young, she could still avoid the issue of marriage. However, when it came to the coronation ceremony, she could no longer avoid it. With the Yan family’s situation, it was impossible for her to marry her. To put it bluntly, Grandma Yan could not even afford five taels of silver.
Borrow?
The poor had no relatives in the downtown area, while the rich had distant relatives in the mountains. Reality was cruel. Not to mention borrowing money, others would look down on you when they saw you. They would close their doors and reject you thousands of miles away. The harsher ones would even curse at you and say all kinds of nasty words.
There was once.
When Father Huang came to Yan Bei, he didn’t use his power to bully others. Instead, he talked about some practical problems.
The soul asked,” Even if I agree to marry Shanshan to you, with your family’s conditions, you won’t be able to eat meat or vegetables twice a day. How can you guarantee her future?”
With that, he left with his men.
Yan Bei thought about it for the entire night. When dawn came, his eyes were red. He made a decision-join the army!
There were only two ways for a poor family to stand out: to study or to join the army.
Studying required money, and there was a lot of it. He had also missed the best age. Even if he learned a little from his father when he was young, he did not know how to write articles. Even if he got a spot for reference in the academy examinations, he could only hand in blank papers when faced with the questions. The latter was the only way out.
He told his grandmother his thoughts. Although the latter didn’t want to, she had no choice but to agree. She went to the prefecture to register. After passing the assessment, she would train for a period of time. She worked hard, performed well, and was lucky. In the end, she was assigned to the ZhongTian camp until now.
“The past is in the past. In the future, there will only be glory and wealth.” Zhang Ronghua patted his shoulder.
Yan Bei said with a red face,” I only have three things in my life. First, let Grandma enjoy happiness. Second, marry Shanshan. Third, protect the country and defend the territory of Great Xia. Refuse the enemy’s blade outside the borders and protect the peace of the region!”
The last voice was loud and powerful, and his eyes were firm.
As they spoke, they arrived at the west gate.
When the soldiers guarding the city saw them coming over with spirit beasts, Yan Bei ignored them. He could tell at a glance that they were his subordinates. Judging from Zhang Ronghua and Yang Hongling’s attire, jewelry, and temperament, they were obviously important figures.
If it wasn’t for Little Four, the Ten-year-old wouldn’t have asked. He could enter the city after paying the entrance fee. Now that they were going to check, he walked up and asked,” Please show me your pass!”
Zhang Ronghua had three waist tokens: one for the Marquis of Nancheng, one for the prefect, and one for the commander of the hussars. He took out the former and his eyes almost fell out. He looked at the three small golden words “Marquis of Nancheng” and was shocked. Why did this big shot come from the capital? News spread very quickly in Great Xia. Whether it was the Celestial Emperor’s legacy or the Flame Thunder Pearl, it had already spread. To put it bluntly, any soldier or scholar would know his name. After regaining his senses, he hurriedly cupped his fists and bowed.” Greetings, Lord Marquis!”
The surrounding soldiers followed suit and bowed.
The commoners, merchants, and others who were entering and leaving the city were stunned. They looked at the young man in front of them. He was actually the Marquis of Nancheng. Seeing such a ” big shot ” in his lifetime, they felt reverence in their hearts and quickly made way for him.
Zhang Ronghua put away his waist token, nodded, and led his men into the city.
He waited for them to leave.
The commander didn’t dare to delay and hurriedly passed on the news of Marquis Nancheng’s arrival. If he didn’t report such a big matter, his little body wouldn’t be able to withstand any mishaps.
On the way to the Yan family.
“What do you think?” asked Yang Hongling.
