A hundred miles away from the capital, at the Peace Posthouse!
"Pass down the order, the army will set up camp and rest!”
"Tomorrow morning, the messenger will enter the court!"
Following the order of the leading general, thousands of soldiers began to set up camp in an orderly manner.
There was no sound other than the trampling of horses.
And this was the most elite trump card of the Great Xia Empire, one of the Four Divine Armies, the Spring Death Army!
The commander of the Spring Death Army was one of the rank-nine martial artists of Great Xia, the head of the Han family of the Marquis of Huaiyin, Han Yanxin.
He was also the father of Imperial Concubine Han.
Inside the Peace Posthouse, a guard came to Han Yanxin's room and knocked lightly.
"Come in!"
Han Yanxin was soaking his feet by the bed, and there was a personal guard serving him.
The military camp was not like home. There were no maids, and many things could only be done by personal guards.
Therefore, many of the personal guards around these generals were loyal servants for generations, and each of them could be a death warrior.
"Lord Marquis, it's a letter from the Second Master!”
The guard dragged a letter in his hand and said respectfully.
Han Yanxin nodded.”
He took the letter and read it.
After a while, Han Yanxin closed the letter with a solemn expression.
It was inconvenient to travel to and from the border, so he would usually send letters to his second brother once every three months.
In this era, this was already a very convenient way of communication.
Only when something big happened would they send messengers to communicate.
Han Yanxin did not expect that such a big thing would happen in the capital city only three months after the last letter.
The newly ascended Emperor was actually a Rank-9 martial artist, and he could easily kill martial artists above Rank-9.
In addition, there was also the mysterious Martial Arts Department Viceroy Chu Xiu, who had two powerful Level Eight experts under him.
The governor of the East Chamber, Yu Huatian, and the commander of the Royal Guards, Shi Zhixuan.
He had never heard of any of these names.
In addition, the little Emperor had even given his daughter the title of Imperial Consort.
This could be considered a form of goodwill towards the Huaiyin Marquis's Residence!
"Could it be that those people from back then have returned?”
The newly ascended Emperor suddenly had such a huge force in his hands, and Han Yanxin had no choice but to start thinking about the inside story.
Thirty years ago, although he was not a Rank-9, he was still a powerhouse who had just entered Rank-8.
In the capital, he could be considered a genius among the martial merits.
Therefore, he also knew that the imperial family at that time had a very strong martial arts power, the Divine Sword Guard.
However, for some reason, he disappeared overnight.
However, those people only disappeared and did not die.
This was also one of the reasons why he did not have any other thoughts even though the royal family's strength had become weaker over the years.
The power of the royal family had only disappeared, not died!
He was a Rank-9. He looked very powerful to the outside world, but to those people, he was not worth mentioning.
Therefore, he was even willing to marry his youngest and most beloved daughter into the palace as a concubine to express his support for the Imperial Family.
He also understood that his second brother's urgent letter was to let him continue to express his loyalty to the Imperial Family in the following court meetings.
"It's a pity that a storm is coming!”
Han Yanxin put down the letter in his hand and could not help but sigh.
This time, he was not the only one from the Spring Death Army returning to the capital!
The other three legions of the Four Gods Army, including the Summer Wind Army, Autumn Killing Army, and Winter Solitude Army, were also on their way back to the capital.
The four commanders of the four legions, four Rank-9s!
It was a mutual agreement and also a tacit defense.
They had agreed to pay their respects to the new emperor together.
And the tacit defense was to prevent someone from rebelling!
Although the probability of this was not high, it was indeed a sign of the past few years.
The root of the problem was the royal family.
In the past 30 years, the royal family had been weak and there was no longer any display of high-end martial arts strength. As a result, Rank-9s like them had been in charge of the army for longer and longer.
According to the rules, the commanders of the Four Gods Army had to be transferred to other places for at most five years.
However, in the past thirty years, the royal family had been weak. In order to win over the Four Gods Army, they had continuously increased their stakes and appeased the people.
Old General Zhao Qinzhe of the Winter Solitude Army had been in charge of the Winter Solitude Army for thirty years.
In a sense, the Imperial Court's Winter Solitude Army could already be called the Zhao Army.
However, Zhao Qinzhe was Emperor Chong 'en's bodyguard back then. He was nurtured by Emperor Chong' en and was loyal to the royal family. He was the most trusted ninth grade general.
Apart from the Winter Solitude Army, Ye Liuyun of the Summer Wind Army had been in charge of the Summer Wind Army for twenty years.
The Autumn Kill Army's grand plan had led the Autumn Kill Army for twenty years.
Even he, Han Yanxin, had been in charge of the Spring Death Army for fifteen years!
The Four Gods Army was still the trump card of Great Xia, but the commanders of these armies had become too powerful to be defeated.
Especially the Summer Wind Army and the Autumn Kill Army. Over the past few years, they had become more and more perfunctory towards the Imperial Court's military orders.
Han Yanxin also knew that the commanders of the two families had been smuggling goods on a large scale in the areas where both sides were stationed. They had profited a lot from this and used it to support their armies!
This was the reason why the four god armies were wary of each other.
From a certain standpoint, given their strength, as long as they found an opportunity, they could completely overturn the rule of the Grand Xia Imperial Family.
Just as Han Yanxin was deep in thought, there was another knock on the door.
"General, someone requests an audience!"
"The other party came with a token and said that the general would know at a glance!”
The guard outside the door said respectfully.
Han Yanxin frowned.
"Come in, let me see the token!"
Then, the guard walked in again with a small token of the golden sword in his hand!
The moment he saw the token, Han Yanxin's expression changed.
Then, he walked over and quickly took it!
"Is this the token of the Divine Sword Guards?”
That's right, the Divine Sword Guards were the name of the mysterious ninth-grade force that belonged to the royal family back then.
There weren't many of them. Each of them had a golden sword-shaped coat of arms embroidered on their front, and they held this golden sword token in their hands.
The lowest entry level for the Divine Sword Guards was also 8th-grade!
Back then, Han Yanxin had almost been chosen to enter the Divine Sword Guards. However, because he was the direct heir of the Huaiyin Marquis Residence, he had a better future on the path of nobility.
Therefore, Han Yanxin did not join the Divine Sword Guards, but he knew a certain amount of inside information.
Now, after thirty years, the Golden Sword Token representing the Divine Sword Guards had appeared again.
So, that mysterious Martial Arts Department was really the avatar of the Divine Sword Guards?
"Please!"
Han Yanxin said loudly.
Not long after, a middle-aged man in a red robe walked in.
The moment he saw his face, Han Yanxin's body trembled.
Han Yanxin recognized him.
He was Li Changhe, one of the commanders who had selected the Divine Sword Guards back then. At that time, his cultivation was above ninth-grade.
But now, Han Yanxin could not sense the slightest bit of aura from the other party's majestic steps.
There was only one explanation!
The other party was a martial grandmaster!
"Han Yanxin, do you still recognize me?”
Li Changhe smiled as he approached the current Duke of Huaiyin.
