......
The news An Wuyang handed to the White Eagle spread quickly.
It even reached people before those in Great Jing who were already itching to move.
After all, if they wanted to stop Lu Ding from heading south, they’d need a plan.
White Eagle’s people did not need a plan.
They only needed to pass upward the ssage that they had received the letter from An Wuyang, get the green light, and then they could depart imdiately!
A true race against ti.
At this mont, Lu Ding, having left Laicheng at the Great Jing border, was on his way to the next stop along the southern route.
Tianshun Prefecture.
High above the sky.
Lu Ding floated along with his arms folded, grumbling, “This miserable Great Jing — no paved roads, no proper transport, what era is this? People still walk for transport and shout to communicate.”
He instinctively pulled out his phone and glanced at it, “No signal either.”
“Like a bunch of caven on mountaintops.”
Fu Xinghe chid in, “Brother Lu is right, but once that Prince surnad An secures the crown prince position, this situation should change.”
Lu Ding considered An Wuyang’s personality for a mont, “More or less. He has almost no threshold for accepting modern developnt; he can integrate perfectly, accept it calmly.”
Suddenly, Fu Xinghe felt sothing shift in his bag.
He opened his briefcase and saw the scroll inside trembling.
He took out the scroll and unfurled it.
Words erged on its surface.
[The Laicheng matter has stirred Great Jing. Malicious actors are spreading false information, turning public sentint into hostility. Everyone is potentially an enemy. Pay attention to safety.]
The phone was the usual thod.
But that did not an Great Han only used phones to transmit ssages.
What if there was no phone signal?
So occult thods were also arranged.
Fu Xinghe saw the ssage from his uncle and hurriedly called out to Brother Lu, gesturing for him to read it.
Lu Ding read, “Everyone is potentially an enemy...”
Finally, they’d given him so difficulty.
That was the point.
If they didn’t make a move?
How could he, in good conscience, strike indiscriminately?
If he didn’t act, then this southern trip to Great Jing would be a tour, which would defeat the purpose of Great Han sending him on an envoy mission.
Thinking this through, Lu Ding’s travel doldrums and irritability vanished instantly.
A smile spread across his face, growing broader and broader until his laughter echoed across the heavens, shattering clouds and clearing the vast world.
A long roar rang out for thousands, ten thousands of miles.
“Great Han’s Lu Ding is here!!!”
The eight hundred investigators accompanying him were a bit baffled.
Lu Ding waved, “Inform them of the situation.”
Fu Xinghe turned on his paging device and recited the words on the scroll, which transmitted clearly into every investigator’s ear.
Their puzzled expressions slowly shifted into smiles.
Young investigators craved rit. A safe, sunny trip wouldn’t guarantee even a third-class rit.
Only a situation with real challenges could offer opportunity mixed with danger.
At Lu Ding’s order:
“Arm up!!”
In an instant, eight hundred investigators perford hand seals together, spiritual energy surging across the sky, auroras blooming beneath the black clouds.
Body-forging iron armor appeared, eight hundred battle armors capable of swallowing a whole vista.
Techniques like General’s Armor Affixing and countless variants — Great Han had hundreds.
Whether it was the familiar na General’s Armor Affixing or another thod,
these techniques were among the investigators’ required skills.
After all, armor improved both defense and overall performance for ordinary people and Qi Refiners alike.
As the eight hundred investigators donned armor,
Lu Ding held his hands forward and ford seals; from the black clouds the Sin Dragon thrust its head out and roared, resounding through heaven and earth.
Dragon breath surged, enveloping Lu Ding.
Inch by inch, scale armor wrapped his body.
Bloodlight ferocious armor, black smoke Tai Sui divine aura.
A fanged guardian’s face gaped open and swallowed the sky, the Sin Dragon armor shielding his body, the scholar-warrior sleeves hid a dragon playing in the water, the Jingzhu Dan Imprint Robe shimred with divine light!
A dragon-eye mirror on his chest protected his heart, fearso and imposing; at his waist hung the Nanshan Divine Stone used as a blade, reserved and hidden.
A flashy display.
Qi of the Ticket Wind drove the obsidian petals to fill the atmosphere.
Proud Snow Trampling Frost scattered bone-deep cold to shape his temperant.
Hidden skills.
Way of the Jinche cut everything without exception, interpreting killing to the extre.
Mountain-Shaking Earth-Quaking’s physical augntation displayed the charisma of raw power.
The eight hundred investigators watching could not stop feeling stirred. What were these things? None of it matched the showiness of Grand Duke Lu at all!!!
Lu Ding waved and summoned the Six-Dragon Incense Palanquin to parade through the streets, openly inviting a fight — don’t like it? Co at . No hiding moves, Grand Guardian is here!!!
He wasn’t aiming to make an enemy of so particular person; he was going to make an enemy of the whole Great Jing!!
He had to cow them in one go, make them afraid, make them tremble at the sound of his na.
“Mount the palanquin!!”
Lu Ding spoke again.
The eight hundred investigators all flew onto the Six-Dragon Incense Palanquin. Although the palanquin was Lu Ding’s personal anomalous phenonon, it could hold far more than one person.
Too small looks weak.
It had to be big!
Don’t say eight hundred, it could hold another eight hundred without trouble.
Lu Ding leapt onto the palanquin.
He was about to tug the reins when a challenge ca from Great Jing airspace.
They heard a shout.
“Tai Sui!!”
“Grand Duke Lu~!!!”
At the call, Lu Ding looked over. Even a few White Eagle people with brown hair and high noses, speaking standard official Han, flew over from a distance shouting at him.
They dragged out the final syllable as they called.
The tone was reminiscent of a childhood mory of the 1986 Journey to the West shouting “Great Sage~”.
Lu Ding halted his motion.
Seeing their dust-streaked appearance, clearly coming for him, he asked, “You’re looking for ?”
Several White Eagle Qi Refiners quickly bowed, a ninety-degree salute, all about politeness!
“White Eagle, Great Jing Embassy — Mars, pays respects to Tai Sui, greets Tai Sui.”
“Tai Sui, we’ve finally found you.”
Mars was ecstatic. After receiving the letter, their people had sent out several thousand personnel, scouring the route from the border Laicheng into Great Jing.
If they hadn’t just heard Lu Ding’s long roar, they might not have found him.
Now Mars was the first to locate him. As long as he handed the letter over to Tai Sui, he could return and claim rit!!!
Great Han’s regard for Lu Ding was beyond doubt.
And White Eagle’s regard for Lu Ding was like Cao Cao eyeing Guan Yu and Zhang Fei — envy and admiration!!! Big-eared thief, you should die of jealousy!!!
Whether he belonged to them or not, before White Eagle and Great Han had a falling-out, they treated Lu Ding with state-level ceremony.
Mars carefully took the letter from his bosom and presented it with both hands, “Tai Sui, this is the letter from Prince An.”
“And this, this is the intelligence and information our White Eagle Great Jing Embassy collected.”
“I believe Great Han has a grasp of Great Jing’s macro situation, and Prince An must have his own unique analysis of the court situation in Great Jing, but regarding the popular sentint, White Eagle also has our strengths.”
“We hope it can help Tai Sui.”
