The whole world is cultivating qi, only I am cultivating the body

"Express message? Bring it here!"

Wang Ke reached out and took the jade token from the young scholar. This jade token was of the highest level and was used to convey messages. Outsiders could not see the messages inside. Only after Wang Ke probed his spiritual consciousness into the jade token could he know what commands were inside.

Zhang Zun looked at the jade token in Wang Ke's hand with a bad expression. He didn't know what the message in the jade token was, but he was worried that the message in the jade token would make Wang Ke attack him. After all, the new country had just been established not many years ago, and the soldiers who followed the new emperor to expand the territory and recover the lost land were still alive. If the new country was really determined to pull him down from the position of city lord...

Wang Ke finished reading the message in the jade tablet. This was an order issued by the new emperor himself. As one of the earliest meritorious officials who expanded the territory with the new emperor, and also one of the new emperor's most trusted subordinates, he knew the new emperor's temper very well. To the new emperor, no matter whether it was the royal family or the descendants of these meritorious officials, these younger generations had to make a name for themselves. He had never taken the initiative to give orders for them to protect anyone, but now... He turned to look at Zeng Wenyu with some surprise in his eyes.

Seeing Wang Ke looking at Zeng Wenyu beside him, Feng Kan patted Wang Ke on the shoulder and said, "What's wrong, Brother Wang? Is there something wrong with the information in this jade token? Could it be that your superior wants you to take down Zhang Zun? Don't worry, if he really wants you to take down Zhang Zun, I will definitely help you. After all, our superior doesn't like the border to be controlled by an uncontrollable person. At that time, your two countries will each occupy half of Xinkang City and manage it together."

"No, the new emperor did not give me this order. He did not even mention the ownership of Zhang Zun and Xinkang City." Wang Ke shook his head and continued to look at Zeng Wenyu. "But the new emperor asked me to protect someone if I saw him, and also said that I would meet all his requests."

"Brother Wang, you are right, right? Is this an order that your leader can give? I remember that your noble sons were out there gaining experience, and your leader never said these words. Could it be that there are new nobles in Xinkang City?" Feng Kan also looked at Zeng Wenyu when he said this. His expression was a little strange. "Could it be this young man? Is he the descendant of the new nobles in your new country?"

"I don't know him, but since the new emperor has given the order, I will never let him get hurt in Xinkang City and within its jurisdiction! Someone, come!" Wang Ke's shouting startled the city guards of the New Kingdom, and they quickly ran to Wang Ke's side, "The new emperor has given the order! Everyone, protect this young man and don't let him get hurt! We will do it even at the cost of our lives!"

"Yes!"

The guards walked up to Zeng Wenyu and protected him in the middle. At the same time, they pointed their weapons at Zhang Zun, with murderous aura bursting from their bodies.

Although Wang Ke did not tell them who to be on guard against, they had seen the scene where Zhang Zun tried to capture Zeng Wenyu just now. How could they not know who they should point their weapons at now?

Zhang Zun's face was very bad. He had just promised Mr. Hu and Mrs. Hu to take Zeng Wenyu back, but now he had to face Wang Ke and his soldiers? His face kept changing from cloudy to bright.

Wang Ke pulled out a long knife from his back and said, "Zhang Zun, this is the person I, the new emperor, want to protect. If you give up on catching him and leave now, I can pretend that you have never tried to catch him before, but if you insist on catching him, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Facing Wang Ke who had already drawn his sword, Zhang Zun's expression darkened: "Wang Ke! You don't really think I'm afraid of you and your soldiers?!"

"I don't know whether you are afraid or not, but me and my men are not afraid of you!"

"Hahahaha! In that case, I will kill you first today. Kangguo and I will share this new Kangcheng together! I think General Feng Kan will not disagree with my proposal, right?"

"What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Am I, Old Feng, such a person? As for me...you guys fight your own battles, I won't interfere, I won't interfere."

Originally Feng Kan wanted to help Wang Ke, but he changed his mind and wondered if this would do him any harm. He also didn't care whether he was Zhang Zun's opponent or not. If Zhang Zun and Wang Ke were both defeated, he could even take the opportunity to activate the teleportation array and ask the court to send another general. By then, wouldn't it be easy to capture the person who wanted to win?

Wang Ke naturally knew what Feng Kan was thinking, but he didn't care. Being seriously injured and fighting a life-and-death battle with the enemy was something they had experienced often in the past. And it was not that he looked down on the guards of Kangguo. These battle-hardened soldiers behind him could kill ten guards of Kangguo alone.

Zhang Zun was somewhat disappointed when he heard Feng Kan's words, but he also knew that this was the best choice now. As long as Feng Kan did not interfere, he would not have to face two masters of the Divine Realm, and he would be 80% sure of taking down Wang Ke.

He threw his right hand towards the sky, and a red light shot out from Zhang Zun's hand into the air, and finally exploded in the middle of the cliffs on both sides.

Zhang Zun's signal had been sent out. Zeng Wenyu suddenly heard a chaotic sound in the distance. It was the sound of ordinary monks in the city fleeing. At the same time, the sounds of a large number of doors and windows closing came from houses in the distance. Those who were closer to them had even run away from their homes. They did not want to be affected by the aftermath of the battle here.

This small disturbance only lasted for a while. The ordinary monks nearby had already run away. Then, the sound of chaotic footsteps came closer and closer. A large number of monks were running over from afar. The person leading them was dressed in gorgeous clothes. It was obvious at a glance that he was the head of a certain family.

These newcomers stood behind Zhang Zun and looked at Wang Ke eagerly. Most of them had excitement in their eyes, but a small number of them had worries on their faces.

Zhang Zun glanced at the crowd behind him and saw that almost all the patriarchs of the families that supported him were here. He nodded with satisfaction.

"Master, except for Old Hu who is still immersed in the grief of losing his son and the mistress of the Hu family who is arranging the funeral of Young Master Hu, all the other people of the Hu family have arrived." A middle-aged man in coarse cloth reported to Zhang Zun.

"Very good, Butler Peng, you go down first." After letting Butler Peng go down, Zhang Zun looked at Wang Ke and hooked his finger, "Wang Ke, come on, let me experience your skills today!"

"Hahahaha, great! Let's fight outside the city! My men, listen to my orders!"

"Yes!"

"If anyone dares to attack us, we will kill them without mercy!"

After saying this, Wang Ke took the lead and walked out of the city. Zhang Zun looked at Wang Zun who was leaving and chuckled. He also said to the family members behind him: "What are you afraid of? Today we will drive the soldiers of the New Kingdom out of Xinkang City. You know how much benefit these will bring! Kill them, and my City Lord's Mansion will not take any of these benefits. You can distribute them among yourselves!"
