He begins by being granted the title of King of Qin and builds the supreme immortal court of the Gre

In a short period of time, the entire palace, inside and out, was completely cleared out by Qinglong and the Imperial Guards.

First arrival in Dongjiangzhou.

During this period, Xiao Ling, under the guidance of Yang Ding, the Marquis of Dayu, and other civil and military officials of Dongjiang Continent, began to familiarize himself with the affairs of the continent.

Secretly, he dispatched his Imperial Guards and trusted men from the capital to infiltrate and investigate the situation in Dongjiang Prefecture.

To avoid alerting the enemy, Xiao Ling was not in a hurry about anything.

There's no rush to take over the military and political affairs of Dongjiangzhou.

After all, the Great Xia Dynasty is stable, and it would be an easy matter for him, the King of Qin, to take over military and political affairs.

But before that, he must find the mastermind hiding in the shadows of Dongjiang Continent.

Inside Liaoyang City.

East Street Market.

Xiao Ling walked through the area, accompanied by Lin Rou'er and Yang Zaixing.

Besides being familiar with military affairs in Dongjiangzhou, he was also curious about the daily lives of the people in Dongjiangzhou.

Coincidentally.

Not long ago, the Liaoyang City government sent an invitation.

Since this King of Qin has come to Dongjiang Continent, the Dongjiang Continent naturally dares not neglect him in the slightest.

After Xiao Ling became familiar with some military and political affairs concerning Dongjiang Prefecture, the officials held a welcoming banquet for him.

Xiao Ling did not refuse.

Dongjiangzhou is quite large, so this welcoming banquet will give me a better understanding of its officials and their families.

Compared to the imperial dynasty, this Eastern Frontier Continent is located on the border. Although it is not as prosperous and wealthy as the former, it is still quite lively with merchants from surrounding countries frequently trading and exchanging goods.

"There have been many border wars, but the people here have a strong martial spirit."

Xiao Ling looked around and saw martial artists wielding various weapons moving about everywhere.

As the capital city of Dongjiang Prefecture, it was frequented by a considerable number of patrolling soldiers.

“The borderlands are indeed prefectures, but without sufficient strength, one might lose their life at any time amidst the turmoil and strife,” Yang Zaixing said from the side.

The characters summoned through the system are not emotionless puppets; they possess all the memories of their past lives.

In his previous life, Yang Zaixing lived during the turbulent late Northern Song Dynasty and served under Yue Fei, experiencing countless battles.

They also witnessed the hardships of ordinary people's lives.

The Great Xia Dynasty we live in now is a dangerous martial arts world, and ordinary people without martial arts power have an even lower status.

Fortunately, after making inquiries around recently, it was found that under the jurisdiction of Marquis Yang Ding of Dayu, the Eastern Frontier Continent was relatively stable, and the people had a good reputation for the Yang family's virtue.

As the group walked, they traversed the streets and arrived at the bank of a river.

"Young master, we should be almost there."

At this moment, Lin Rou'er spoke up.

Following the direction the other person pointed, they indeed saw a pavilion that was decorated in an extremely luxurious and magnificent manner.

There were also many armored soldiers patrolling back and forth in the surrounding area.

All those coming and going were dressed in fine clothes, clearly a group of wealthy and noble people living in Liaoyang City.

In addition, Xiao Ling also saw many talented young men and ladies from prominent families.

The Great Xia Dynasty did not impose many restrictions on relationships between men and women, nor did it have any rules that prohibited women from showing their faces in public.

These must all be the officials and young scions of noble families from Dongjiang Prefecture who have come to attend the banquet.

Xiao Ling understood these things.

After all, although he was the King of Qin of the Great Xia Dynasty, he was now stationed in the Eastern Frontier Continent.

But at the end of the day, he was just a royal youth who had reached the age of eighteen.

These powerful officials from the Eastern Frontier Continent brought their younger generations with them. If they could establish a connection with someone of their age, that would be a great thing.

"let's go."

Xiao Ling, along with Lin Rou'er and Yang Zaixing, headed directly towards the entrance of the pavilion.

As soon as they reached the entrance of the pavilion, before Xiao Ling could even reveal his identity, the leading armored guard strode forward.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin!"

The other party immediately knelt down on one knee to pay their respects.

"Do you know this king?"

Xiao Ling hadn't expected that even a gatekeeper would recognize him.

The armored soldier stood up and respectfully replied, "Your Highness, this humble general is the deputy commander of the personal guards under the command of Marquis Dayu. I am here to await Your Highness on the orders of the Marquis."

The deputy commander of the personal guards has come to stand guard at the gate?

Xiao Ling had not expected that the Marquis of Dayu would make such an arrangement.

"This humble general will now escort Your Highness into the pavilion."

The deputy commander of the personal guard spoke up.

Xiao Ling waved his hand: "No need, I can go in by myself."

Since this is my first time here, it's a good opportunity to observe and explore properly. Having the personal guard of the Marquis of Dayu accompanying me is just too conspicuous.

Upon hearing this, the latter obediently pushed away.

Xiao Ling led Lin Rou'er and Yang Zaixing inside.

As soon as we entered the pavilion.

There were young men and women, some in pairs whispering sweet nothings to each other, and others young masters and ladies chatting happily together.

As Xiao He and his two companions entered, they immediately attracted the attention of many people around them.

However, since most of the people here are young, no one recognized Xiao Ling's identity.

However, Xiao Ling himself has an outstanding temperament, coupled with the beautiful and outstanding maid Lin Rou'er following behind him, as well as Yang Zaixing with a cold and stern temperament, which inevitably makes people take a second look.

Who is this person?

"What a handsome and excellent young man!"

"With such extraordinary bearing from the maids and guards accompanying him, this gentleman must be of noble birth!"

Within a short time, some young men and women had already begun to whisper among themselves.

Xiao Ling paid no attention to the surrounding whispers.

At first glance, all he saw were ordinary people with average cultivation and temperament; there was nothing that caught his eye.

Xiao Ling did not linger and led the two further into the depths of the pavilion.

Among them were some talented young men and beautiful young women who, upon seeing Xiao Ling, wanted to get to know him.

However, Yang Zaixing's cold and unapproachable demeanor behind him stopped him from having such thoughts.

Keep walking forward.

They passed by a spacious courtyard where some men and women were inside, and a series of commotions arose from within.

Out of curiosity, Xiao Ling stepped inside.

He glanced at the men and women among them, and noticed that some of them possessed outstanding qualities.

In terms of cultivation level, most of them are at the Bone Forging Realm, and there are also quite a few at the Soul Condensation Realm.

Given their strength, these must be the top talents among the second generation of officials and noble families in the Eastern Frontier Continent.

In the middle of that courtyard stood a spacious arena.

Two young men, wielding weapons, were fiercely fighting, employing various techniques. The sounds of their battle were the sounds of their clash.
