In the Divine Capital's Chongming Lane, on Yanhai Street, there was a grand mansion with a vermilion gate. Above the mansion, large golden words were written: Marquis Calm Sea Estate.
In front of the door, there were ten elite soldiers in full armor.
From the way they breathed in and out, it could be seen that they were all experts in the army.
And this mansion belonged to Marquis Yan Hai, Li Que, who held the military power of the Yan Hai Army.
Marquis Yanhai was also one of the 12 founding marquises, but ever since the previous Marquis Yanhai, after three dynasties, the Marquis Yanhai manor still stood tall in the Divine Capital. The 100,000 Yanhai soldiers had never changed hands.
This was due to the family rules of Marquis Seaside: When the heir of the marquis's manor came of age, he had to take up a position in the Yanhai Army of the South Sea, and he had to start from the bottom.
If he had enough strength, he would take over the Yan Hai Army. Otherwise, he would change the prince and the other young masters of the marquis 'residence.
This family rule allowed the family to firmly control the Yan Hai army. At the same time, it also made the ambitious disciples of the family not dare to slack off and practice diligently every day.
In the Yan Hai Army, most of the high-ranking generals were from the Li family.
It could be said that this Yan Hai army was the private army of the entire Li family.
"Sigh!" In an exquisite courtyard in the manor, a youth sat on a recliner and sighed leisurely.
The young man was called Li Xin, the second son of Marquis Calm Sea, and also the son of a concubine.
Currently, besides the marquis 'wife, there was only his mother and his three masters in the entire marquis' estate. As for his father, the current marquis, and the marquis 'son, Li Xin's elder brother, they were all in the South Sea and hadn't returned for more than ten years.
In other words, not long after Li Xin was born, Li Que left the Marquisdom with her eldest son, the Di son.
For so many years, the one in charge of the house had always been the marquis 'wife.
As for him, Li Xin, as the only male of the Marquis's Residence in the Divine Capital, he did not care about anything.
As a transmigrator, he was in a world with strange demons, overseas mermen, many large sects, and a colorful world.
At the beginning of his transmigration, he heard that martial arts experts could fight thousands of armies, even great grandmasters could split mountains and rivers, and there were even spiritual cultivators who could control flying swords. When all kinds of spells were mysterious, Li Xin also hoped that he could diligently cultivate martial arts and go out to experience this great world.
However, after learning about the marquis 'residence he was in, and the fact that three generations of the marquis' residence had 100,000 elites of the Yan Hai Army, he began to be more careful.
Although he wasn't good at politics, and in his previous life, he had only fought in the office, but with his modern knowledge and experience, it wasn't hard to see that the current Marquis of Sealed Sea's residence seemed to have great power and boundless glory.
However, the lives of the entire family were at stake.
Moreover, a few years ago, he had personally witnessed the Embroidered Guard and Imperial Army suppressing the Pingxi King's Mansion.
That battle was a battle of darkness.
Ping Xiwang was a neutralizing grandmaster expert. The power of his saber could cut through the hard bluestone on the ground and create a trench that was dozens of meters long. He could even fight against an army of ten thousand.
However, even such a great expert was ultimately killed on the spot in front of the imperial court, and the entire residence was left without even a single living thing.
After that battle, Li Xin became even more obedient.
Although his cultivation and talent were not bad, he was only fifteen years old. He had already cultivated the foundation establishment technique passed down in his family to perfection, and his strength had also reached the level of light jing.
Even if he entered an elite army, he would be able to get at least a hundred general positions.
It wasn't even impossible for him to be a lieutenant in charge of a thousand troops.

However, he had no intention of going to the South Sea. He kept a low profile and did not care about the affairs of the manor. He did not show his face in public. Even those he was not familiar with did not know that there was a second young master in Marquis Seaside Manor.
"Second Young Master."
A pleasant voice sounded in his ear.
Li Xin turned his head and saw that it was Qing He, the eldest servant girl beside Madam.
"Sister Qing He is here. Is Mother calling?”
The Marquis Madam was Li Xin's mother. According to the rules, he had to address her as 'Mother'. As for his own mother, he would address her as' Mother'.
Marquis Yan Hai Li Que only had one wife and one second wife. He didn't take another wife, and the position of second wife was empty. He did have a few concubines, but none of them had any.
That's true. She's not even here. She can't possibly have a concubine and give birth to her own child, right?
And this mother, perhaps because the marquis's manor did not have many children, was also very good to him, this bastard son. At the very least, it did not reduce his food expenses. He was also given enough for his cultivation, and there was still a lot of surplus.
His relationship with his mother was also quite good. In the marquis 'residence, there were no other things that he had imagined. There were no private matters happening in the back of the noble family.
Of course, the reason why the Marquess could treat Li Xin like this was probably because the prince, her elder brother Li Hun, had already established himself in the Yanhai Army and was destined to inherit the title of Marquis Yanhai.
"Furen is in the main courtyard.”For Qing He to be able to become the eldest servant girl of the Lord's Manor, there was naturally no need to talk about her beauty. Her etiquette was also very good.
Furthermore, this person was the Marchioness 'personal guard. His cultivation had already reached the level of internal force. If he were to be placed in the army, he would be a general.
Even against an elite army, they could fight against thousands of troops.
Other than a few consecrators and a few leaders of the Marquis 'personal guards, no one else was her match.
As a result, Lady Qing He had a high status in the manor.
"Alright, Sister Qing He will go first.”Li Xin smiled and said.
"There, Qing He will take her leave."
After saying that, Qing He left the courtyard, but she didn't go far. Instead, she waited outside the courtyard.
As for Li Xin, he returned to his room and changed into a beautiful robe before leaving.
In Li Xin's courtyard, there were no maids to serve him. Those who were sent over were also sent away by him. In his words, he did not have this habit.
However, as the Second Young Master of the Marquisdom, he would have quite a few guards. In the dark, he had four experts protecting him. Whether he was in the manor or out, they would follow him.
Qing He left the courtyard and walked all the way to the main courtyard of the rear residence. She followed by the side without saying a word.
After entering the main hall, Li Xin frowned.
He saw his mother sitting on the lower left seat with her head lowered and tears streaming down her face.
"Greetings, Mother."
He first bowed to his mother, then looked at his mother, Liu Lingsi, and said with concern,"Mother, what happened to you?"
However, her mother did not speak. She only shook her head and shed tears.
"Sigh." On the seat of honor, Lady Wang Xuanyi shook her head and sighed. She looked at Li Xin and said,"Xin 'er, the imperial court has just issued an edict. The northern borders are in turmoil. Each noble residence must send a son to guard the borders.”
"As for our Marquis Seadeep Estate…"
Wang didn't finish her sentence, but Li Xin understood why his mother was crying.
When he heard the decree, Li Xin's first reaction was that the Emperor was going to attack Marquis Seaside's residence.
After all, other than the prince who was far away in the South Sea, he was the only other son in the mansion.
Once he went to the northern border, if anything happened, the prince would be the only heir in the mansion.
The southern sea was more chaotic than the northern borders. The mermen would occasionally step on the waves and rush to the shore. Yan Hai had many opportunities to fight. If he used some tricks and something happened to the prince, then Marquis Yan Hai would have no successor!
However, under the imperial edict, unless there were no children in the family, one of them had to be born. Otherwise, it would be a great crime of disobeying the imperial edict and the entire family would be executed!
That was why he had such thoughts.
However, after thinking about it, Li Xin felt that this might be an opportunity.
Even if the Emperor wanted to weaken the founding nobility, he would not use such an unwise method. Perhaps he wanted to give those nobles who wanted to come out and do things a chance?
These speculations were running through Li Xin's mind, but he couldn't guess the thoughts of that Supreme Martial Artist.
There was only one path in front of him: Follow the decree!
"Mother, don't worry. For the sake of Marquis Calm Sea, I'm willing to go to the northern border.”
