Chapter 220: The Southern Expedition

You Xue walked along the East Linfang all the way through the Chengtian Gate, turned around the Shangsanfang, and entered Showa Street, not that she wanted to visit the royal capital at night, but just waited for her injury to recover.

She cleaned up the blood stains on her clothes by the lake, and suddenly heard a low and melodious sound in the distant mountains, and there was a sense of familiarity, she squatted on the shore, closed her eyes and listened, and felt that the spiritual power in her body was smooth with the sound of the flute and the eight veins of the Qi Jing, and she couldn't help but be surprised, and then listened attentively, it was already inaudible, as if it was just her illusion just now.

She lowered her eyes to look at the wound that had clotted into a blood scab, she smiled and bent her eyebrows, raised her eyebrows proudly, and then got up and walked towards the South Star Tower.

In the past few days, she has always been recalling the mantra taught to her by Si Xingling, and slowly learned to freely operate the aura in her body and the fusion of Bai Yujue's power, got her unexpected surprise, and recovered her ability to heal herself, but today she was able to heal herself so quickly, but it was all due to the strange sound of the flute just now.

In the darkness, a figure gradually appeared, with a flame that had not been seen for a long time.

You Xue watched him approach step by step and stopped.

When Zhan Yunze saw her come back, he breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and said, "I'll leave early the day after tomorrow." ”

"I know. ”

"I'll be back soon. ”

"Of course, waiting for your triumph. ”

Zhen Yunze carefully studied her expression, the gloomy color finally dissipated, revealing a deep smile, he took a familiar object from the saddle and put it in her hand, "This is the re-improved sleeve arrow of the Shenji Battalion, you have to wear it." ”

"Good. She rolled up her sleeves very cooperatively, put it on carefully, and then raised her eyes and said to him: "I saw Gongyi Lingfeng today, although the charm on her body has an aphrodisiac effect, but it should only be useful for people who practice martial arts, and the higher the cultivation, the easier it is to be recruited." ”

Zhen Yunze hooked his lips and smiled, and the starry peach blossom eyes rarely showed a bit of rebelliousness and disdain, "Don't worry, the noble women of the Beichen royal family are respected for embracing this incense powder, so we have already taken precautions." ”

You Xue suddenly realized at this time, no wonder Zhen Tengfeng didn't get hit, "Then do you know that this fragrant powder will be hit by both men and women?"

Only then did Yunze twist his eyebrows and look at her: "You..."

"Well, I got a nosebleed, just a nosebleed, probably because she was too good-looking. You Xue patted him on the shoulder, almost forgetting that he would be worried.

Zhen Yunze pulled her wrist and wanted to take a pulse, but suddenly remembered her pulseless image, but hesitated for a moment, he naturally held her hand, "Let's go." ”

You Xue is funny, is he hiding his embarrassment like this? She shook her head, "Lord Wang, you have to be busy tomorrow, and I still owe you a purse." ”

Only then did Zhen Yunze smile happily, and that kind of happy and joyful look overflowed from his eyes, "Are you really embroidering a purse for me?"

"Since the promised things must be done, of course, so the prince should go and rest early. ”

"Okay, I'll take you back upstairs. ”

Zhen Yunze pulled her back to the South Star Tower, and watched her enter the house and turn off the lights before leaving.

After a long time, the door of the house was opened again, You Xue walked into the courtyard, raised her eyes to look at the dawn of the upcoming dawn, bent the corners of her lips, and walked into the medicine house.

She opened the wooden box with the seven-star pattern, put on her gloves and picked up the bamboo tweezers, and put the green divine grass into the medicine mortar.

In the next two days, the royal capital was busy and chaotic for the southern expedition, and Bian Jiao did refine the weapon to defeat the enemy as scheduled, You Xue saw with his own eyes that the tip of the knife had a barb and a hidden blood groove, and the inscription on the back of the knife seemed to be a fine sawtooth, and the amazing thing was that the knife was narrow and long, and the blade was light and thin, but it was the steel toughness of the sharp axe, and it was like mud blowing hair and breaking hair.

This ripple knife is a blood-drinking murder weapon, if it is unfortunate enough to be slashed with a knife, even if it is just an arm, it will pull off a large piece of flesh and bones.

If it can be used in large quantities in war, it is indeed an invincible weapon, but it also needs countless refined iron ore and burning stones to make up for it.

King Gulan immediately decreed that Bian Jiao should be appointed as the commander of the Shenji Battalion and be in charge of the forge.

Bian Jiao was very unhappy, she said to You Xue that she wanted to be closer to him, but she was locked up in the hot stove to fight with a group of rough men.

You Xue smiled lightly, and her eyes fell on the cold and cold blade of the long blade, full of amazement.

There is no need to say anything, each other knows that Bian Jiao is taking a step closer to the goal, and if there is a heart, he can always be moved.

Forty years of the halberd, July 28.

The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the sky is blue.

Under the towering city walls of the royal capital, tens of thousands of black-armored soldiers and 5,000 soldiers who accompanied the king of the South China Sea to participate in the Zhongyan Festival gathered outside the city gate, and the swords and halberds were lined up like chess.

Flags hunting, trumpets sound.

At this time, the king of Gulan, who was dressed in the royal robe of the purple fire dragon Tengyun stepping on the sun and wearing a purple jade and gold crown, climbed the city wall.

The courtiers who followed him were surprised to find that this king did not wear a crown on such a solemn and solemn occasion today, which inevitably lost his prestige.

At this time, the mountain wind howled, and the soldiers under the city wall suddenly raised their swords and halberds, and the mountain shouted "Long live my king!"

The high-pitched and loud sound is like a mountain and waves, drowning out the sound of the horn.

The two main generals, one black and one white, rode to the formation from both sides on high war horses, turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee, and saluted the emperor on the city wall.

It's just that there is no figure on the city wall for a long time.

At this moment, the city gate slowly opened from the inside, and the king of Gulan, surrounded by several forbidden soldiers and chamberlains and courtiers, walked in front of the soldiers and two generals, and took down a glass of marigold from the wine plate held high by the chamberlain, a dagger glowing with cold light, and before the king of the South China Sea and the king of Rui could react, he cut open the palm of his left hand, and a string of blood beads fell into the wine cup.

"Brother Wang!"

"King!"

The two of them flew forward and fell to their knees, looking at him worriedly.

And a group of black-pressed soldiers led by the Black Armor Army also suddenly fell silent and quieted down.

In the hot and silent air, there was only the sound of the wind blowing the flag.

He held aloft the marigold, and said loudly: "All the soldiers are the heroes of the Gulan Dynasty, the pillars of the country, this southern expedition, difficult and dangerous, the widow and the soldiers are allied with blood, and fight the enemy together," he sprinkled the wine mixed with the blood of the marigold on the loess;

"The widow will personally sit in the rear and personally prepare grain, grass and weapons for the South China Sea army to escort to the front line, so as to avoid the worries of the monarch,"

He took the wine cup poured by the waiter again, and dripped blood into the marigold, "May the emperor and the queen of heaven protect the southern expeditionary army, and the widow is here waiting for the good news, waiting for the day of triumph of the kings!"

After speaking, he sprinkled the wine on the loess again, his expression was firm, and his black eyes were burning and he glanced at the resolute and dark faces of the soldiers in the scene.

The wind whistled by, and there was silence in the field for just a moment, and when the horn sounded again, tens of thousands of soldiers knelt down in unison, and the hot-blooded men all had red eyes, and their blood swelled, shouting, "God bless Gulan!

"Roar, roar, victory, long live my king!"

The people who poured out of the city to see the excitement were stopped by the forbidden army, and I don't know who shouted first: "Raise the prestige of our country, our army will win!"

"Long live my king!"

Immediately, cheers rose one after another, and the blood was high.

The King of the South China Sea looked at the scene of high-pitched emotions and blood boiling with a complicated expression, and the reverent eyes of the soldiers.

He inhaled deeply, pointed his halberd to the sky, and shouted: "Long live my king, God bless Gulan, please wait for the good news!

After speaking, he knelt on one knee again and bowed deeply.

Zhen Tengfeng looked at them with a smile and bowed slightly.

The waiter, who had been keeping his head down, put away the wine plate, raised his eyes to look at Zhen Yunze, and nodded at him with a smile.

Zhen Yunze's eyes showed a look of surprise, he suppressed his excitement, and after the monarch of the South China Sea Dynasty bowed deeply, he turned over and got on his horse, and when he looked back at her again, she was already hidden behind the emperor, and she could no longer see her face.

His eyes dimmed slightly, and suddenly he seemed to think of something, and suddenly his expression was lifted again.

He picked up his long knife and waved it, and shouted, "Let's go!"

Soon, the black-pressed army turned around and surged towards the official road in an orderly manner, like a black dragon, winding southward.

"Thirty miles ahead, there is a post station, where the army will reorganize its military discipline a little. ”

He whispered to the people behind him.

White birds fly across the blue sky, and the blazing sun shines on the earth.

In the post station thirty miles away from the royal city, a small servant walked into the room where King Rui was resting with a tea plate and snacks, she had been waiting for a long time, watching the King of the South Sea and King Rui leave the room after discussing the road map, she came over.

She put the tea tray on the table, Danfeng showed a sly smile in her eyes, glanced at King Rui who was standing in front of the wall, staring at the hanging map, thought about it, still didn't speak, and left the room with light feet.

Walking to the next room, Qingyang was wiping the new weapon Ripple Knife refined by Bian Jiao, thinking about something with a cold expression, when he suddenly heard someone come in, he frowned, and was about to attack.

But when he saw the appearance of the person who came, he was stunned, "Miss Yuan!"

Yuan Ziyue shushed at him, "Be quiet." ”

She took out a bamboo-blue purse from her bosom and handed it to him, with two white feathers poorly embroidered on it, and something bulging inside.

Qingyang was stunned and stretched out his hand to take it, his expression was complicated, he was surprised and happy, he looked at her a little confused, "Did you send me a purse on purpose?"

Yuan Ziyue frowned and glared at him, "Why am I giving you a purse! This is what Ah Xue asked me to bring to Lord Rui. ”

She would never admit that this purse was stolen from You Xue's bag, she saw her embroider half of it and then give up, how could this work, so she reluctantly helped her with the aftermath and sewed the last few stitches.

She always felt that at such an important moment, she was still very unwilling to take the opportunity to secretly add fuel to the fire.

As for the contents inside, it was indeed You Xue who asked her to give it to Zhen Yunze.

Qingyang couldn't hide his disappointment when he heard this, but he still nodded and said, "Okay, I know." ”

Yuan Ziyue smiled, her eyes were clear, and she suddenly said: "That time I returned to Luocheng, you gave me a ride, this time I asked Ying to run errands, and I also came to give you a ride, may you punish all the thieves and triumph as soon as possible!"

Qingyang looked at her bright smile, his heart moved slightly, he subconsciously clenched the purse in his hand, and smiled loudly, "Yes, wait for me to triumph." ”
