At the Jinyiwei station, Zhang Mingtu looked at the intelligence information sent by Bashan County to assist in the investigation with a strange look on his face.

"A martial arts expert has been discovered in Bashan County. His strength is terrifying. He carries a magical weapon on his back that can cut through iron like mud. He has large ears and possesses a skill similar to the Buddhist Lion's Roar..."

There is not only intelligence information, but also a simple portrait.

The person in the portrait has big ears, wide eyes, and very thick eyebrows. His face looks rough, a bit like the Acala in the temple, and it is obvious that he possesses the Buddha nature.

Zhang Mingtu felt something was strange. Not only that, he also had another letter of assistance in the investigation, which was to assist in the investigation of the young genius in Yaodu.

Now these two have become the focus, but the one in Bashan County has not yet become famous because most of the news has been blocked.

But that man with the Iron Heart and Divine Fist was famous throughout the entire Jiangnan West Road.

Because the Tianji Pavilion calculated a fortune for this person, the calculation of his magical skills and techniques was not accurate, but his age was roughly calculated.

He is not over 20 years old as rumored, but still under 20 years old.

Such performance and strength shocked many people's hearts, and many people even speculated that this mysterious genius might be ranked on the Lingyun list in the next month.

Zhang Mingtu felt that it was a bit exaggerated, but the rankings compiled by Tianji Pavilion had indeed shocked the world for many years. Whether it was the Lingyun List or the Qianlong List, they were all quite astonishing.

Both the imperial court and the underworld attach great importance to this round of rankings.

The underworld focuses on reputation, while the court focuses on political achievements.

If the top figures on the Lingyun List can be recruited into the court, or the top figures on the Qianlong List can be recruited into the court, it will be a great political achievement for the current chief official.

If there are hidden dragons who did not enter the court but practiced in various places, Daxia would appear less glorious. After all, why is there no such a powerful and outstanding figure in our Daxia Dynasty?

Only when all the talented people in the world are under my control can we achieve the true grand path.

However, Zhang Mingtu was quite knowledgeable and knew that this situation was quite wrong.

The truly outstanding figures were not forced to join by the court, but were attracted by using relevant ideas.

When the Great Xia was founded, and even the subsequent generations of powerful rulers, they never forced all the talented people in the world to join them, but there were still talented people who continued to join them just to fulfill the original ideal.

Strengthen the human race, drive out demons and barbarians.

Today, Daxia is truly glorious, seemingly the world of Gaia, but at the same time it has lost itself.

Zhang Mingtu has seen the situation in various places. The vast majority of people are only pursuing their own interests and don't care about anything else.

They did not see or think about the real dangers that were lurking everywhere because of their actions.

Whether it is the southeastern coast or the northern border, there are actually different degrees of danger. The northern border harbors bandits, and the southeastern coast is about the same. There is not much difference between the two.

Japanese pirates often head north from the southeast coast, but as long as they do not harm the foundation of local wealthy families, they will not care and let them go north at will.

The northern border allowed the northern barbarians to move south, which was a secret benefit to the ancestor of the border. Only when the northern barbarians often moved south could the importance of the northern border be revealed.

But that was playing with fire and getting burned. The most glorious time Zhang Mingtu ever did was when he became a general at the border. However, because he failed in playing with fire at the border and the court learned about it, the northern border was broken.

Countless military equipment craftsmen were abducted. After all, the northern border was an important town. In order to deal with the barbarians moving south, a large amount of equipment and supplies were piled up at the border.

The real problem was after the border was broken. According to Zhang Mingtu's military knowledge, the northern barbarians got so many military equipment, and then killed a large number of the most elite soldiers on the border. After that, they could really march straight in and had no opponents along the way.

However, judging from Daxia's strength, this battle can still be won. As long as Daxia truly attaches importance to it and mobilizes its elite forces, it can still destroy the northern barbarians.

After all, the northern barbarians have been weakened for many years and have been nurturing themselves to be strong. However, the lord of the northern border is not completely stupid. The equipment, military supplies and various technologies provided are not enough to make the people of the northern border invincible.

In addition, the lord of the northern border intends to control the population of the barbarians. With the barbarians' small population, it is difficult to sweep the building in one go. As long as there is no major problem of earth-shattering collapse in Daxia, it can still be pushed back.

"But I'm afraid there will be a big problem in Daxia!"

Zhang Mingtu sighed, thinking of his brothers who had lived longer and had also encountered major events.

The emperor of Daxia died, and then the northern border suddenly became chaotic, the southeastern coast also became a mess, and the situation became a mess.

The overall timeline is almost ten years later.

If the emperor of Daxia really died under such circumstances, even though Daxia had a profound foundation and many talented people, it would be very likely that major problems and crises would arise, and the entire clan might even be exterminated.

At that time, Daxia's first priority was definitely not to resist foreign enemies, but to fight for the supreme throne.

"well!"

Thinking of this, Mingtu sighed silently, and suddenly thought of a sentence in the ancient books left by the sages, "If you cannot rule your family and offend your people at home, and have no enemies outside, you will cause trouble for the country, and your country will always perish."

"Homeland, homeland..."

Zhang Mingtu shook his head and looked out the window, especially at the Ximen Market.

When he passed by there in the morning, it was a bustling scene. Everyone's face was shining, and many people's faces had more color. It was obvious that life was much better than usual.

When Zhang Minghu was traveling at night, he even saw Ruihai's ancestral temple on the shore.

Ruihai did not yet have the kind of world-famous prestige he later had, but in the two counties of Xingguo and Jianyi where he had stayed, he was like a true saint, and countless people praised his name.

“It’s fair!”

Zhang Mingtu sighed heavily, and felt extremely stressed when he thought about the various problems he would encounter when he went to Jiujiang soon.

At the same time, he couldn't help but look at another piece of intelligence at hand, which was information about people on the blacklist that was regularly updated in various places.

Among them, the 77th on the blacklist, Blood Knife Hong Ji, was traveling along the Jiangnan West Road and was suspected to have appeared near Longxing Prefecture.

Because someone had all his blood sucked dry by the bloody knife.

The Jinyiwei and the Six Gates in various places have received notices from above, asking them to pay special attention to the existence of the person number 77 on the blacklist, and report any information immediately. If they can use this information to kill him, they will be credited with great merit and rewarded with a small Huandan that can help people break through from the peak of the Zhenqi realm to the Zhenyuan realm without any damage.

"Hongji!"

Zhang Mingtu narrowed his eyes, and his blood flowed throughout his body. His bones made faint roaring sounds, with the roars of dragons and tigers echoing through them.

ps: Sorry, sorry, I was busy all day yesterday and only had some free time in the afternoon. I was planning to write something, but I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. When I woke up, it was already the next day.

I'm so sorry!
