239, greetings

Fog Castle.

This is a low mountain, because of the special terrain, perennial shrouded in a layer of dense fog, in the dense fog in the cave can not see clearly, shrouded in a layer of white fog all year round.

The low mountains are not too high.

It rises and falls continuously, as if the heavens have poked countless honeycombs on the dirt slope, forming these gray low fortresses.

Of course, the presence of large armies after this also incidentally modified the terrain of this place, making it easier to defend and difficult to attack, and it was a good place to garrison troops.

This place can be regarded as a beautiful place for Zhong Lingyu, gathering clusters of relatively rich spiritual power, which shows that the location of this place is also quite particular.

Xia Gui led thousands of troops behind him and stopped at the bottom of the Earth Fog Castle. Looking up at the entire earth fog fort, I saw a cloud and mountain fog cover, and I didn't know how many people and horses there were inside.

As far as the eye could see, at the entrance of the Earth Fog Castle, I saw hundreds of soldiers stationed at the entrance.

They were dressed in the black soldier's uniforms of the Southern Wilderness, and because they were far away from home, they had no clothes to change for many years, and their clothes looked gray and shabby. The spear and knife in his hand shone with a looming edge in the mist. Although they have been uprooted from their hometowns and stationed in this earth fog castle far from home all the year round, their standing posture is upright, neither humble nor arrogant, the momentum on their bodies is still undiminished, and the soul of the soldiers in their hearts is still roaring.

The clusters of tall and pine-like soldiers were waiting along the most critical military nodes of the Earth Fog Fort, and groups of men and horses were hidden in various corners of the Earth Fog Castle that were not easy to find. From the bottom of the earth fog fort, the soldiers spread to the smoky heights, and the formation was really winding like a long dragon.

Seeing this lineup, Xia Gui was also full of emotion in his heart.

After lying dormant in Jiuhou Villa for so long, he finally joined the army and saw the familiar hometown military uniform again, and a strong feeling of homesickness came to Xia Gui's heart.

O soldiers of my hometown, don't come for a long time, you are fine......

"Everyone, stop here. Xia Gui gently pulled the war horse and ordered the army behind him to stop marching.

"Yes. A thunderous roar sounded under the earth fog fort, and the soldiers behind him stopped neatly.

The sound of these armies of gladiators and slaves, who were originally extremely powerful, reverberated in the valley with a terrifying echo.

Feeling the immensity of the army behind Xia Gui, the generals guarding the Earth Mist Fort were also full of shock. They thought that what they had come to was a down-and-out prince with a desolate face, but they didn't expect to be waiting for a strong army with the same strength as their own.

Therefore, looking at Xia Gui's eyes, he was a little more shocked and surprised.

Xia Gui turned his head and whispered to Wodin : "Three hundred light horsemen can follow me up the mountain, and the rest of the army will be stationed at the bottom of the mountain." ”

Waddin said, "Yes." ”

He turned back to greet Wang Ersan's team and said, "Wang Ersan, you lead the Silver Sword Army and go up the mountain with His Highness." Cao Ming followed the team. ”

"Yes. Wang Ersan claimed the order.

A strong team stands out from the great army.

Wang Ersan led the sharpest silver sword army, although there were only 300 people, but everyone was a good hand above the Chengmai realm, and Wang Ersan was the leader.

He used to do well under Mu Cheng, but now after defecting to Wodin, his heroic appearance has not diminished.

Xia Gui took a light breath and led three hundred men and horses along the trail into the Earth Mist Castle.

The soldiers along the way lined up in the middle of the road, their faces tense and solemn.

Just the day before yesterday, the news of the return of the real Sixth Highness spread throughout the army. This news was like a bombshell, exploding the pot, and the whole army was boiling.

When they first learned the news, the soldiers were also incredulous, the guy who had served so faithfully for more than half a year was actually a fake?

There are even soldiers with strong personalities who rush directly to their superiors to ask why such a thing happened, whether the superiors know or not. After some difficult explanations, the soldiers' restless emotions were suppressed.

Now, the soldiers held their breath and stared at Xia Gui without rolling their eyes, watching the Sixth Prince, who had come from afar, riding a war horse through the crowd. They wanted to see why they were so stupid, and it took them more than half a year to recognize that the original Six Princes were fake.

In the past, when they were in the Southern Wilderness Palace, they rarely saw Xia Gui. This little prince always lived in a shallow place every day, and the king of the Southern Wilderness did not hand over the military power to him, so he did not organize the army very much.

But these days, they have more opportunities to meet the six princes. The entire army was commanded by the six princes, and from time to time the six princes would go down the mountain to parade accompanied by two other generals.

But...... That's a fake.

On second thought, it makes sense.

It is not surprising that the country is ruined, and the means of self-preservation by replacing the royal blood with a stand-in is not surprising. They can only accept this reality. However, an indescribable contempt also spread in the hearts of all the hot-blooded soldiers. As Xia Gui continued to move higher, this contempt also grew, and even began to envelop the soldiers.

......

At the top of the castle was an open and flat clearing.

Several imposing generals were standing at the highest point of the Earth Fog Castle with their hands behind their backs, overlooking the more than 300 people and horses shuttling in the dense fog.

The man on the far left has a rectangular face, a lion nose and a wide mouth, two eyebrows lowered and lowered eyes, and broad shoulders draped in a silver armor robe, giving people a sense of ability. His name is Deng Yue, and he is staring at the soldiers all over the mountains at this moment, and said in a low voice: "As of yesterday, no one knows about this matter, why did you let out the news? His Highness and Tie Zhao can meet in private and secretly exchange their identities back, and no one will notice it." Aren't you making trouble for Your Highness by doing this now?"

Beside him, there stood another general named Gan Yan. There was a deep scar on this person's face, and he looked a little yin. He snorted coldly, "You don't understand. ”

Deng Yue narrowed his eyes slightly, "What do you mean?"

Gan Yan looked straight ahead, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness is back, and you will inevitably revive the Southern Wilderness and avenge the country." ”

"So?" Deng Yue looked at him.

Gan Yan said in a low voice: "You don't know the Fang Kingdom that besieged the Southern Wilderness that day. In addition to the earthwork and the party, there are also big businessmen who are silently supporting behind them. If His Highness wants revenge, it will be another bloody storm. This army, you and I have paid a lot until now. I don't want the people under me to die again. ”

Deng Yue sneered, and his eyes revealed a sense of righteousness: "Death is death, what is there to be afraid of." When you're at this age, why are you scared? ”

Sweet calloused fingers, clenched with a clench. He lowered his voice, "I'm not afraid of death, but I don't want to die recklessly." Therefore, I want to see how capable His Highness is, if he can't even deal with the situation in front of him, then the enmity of the Southern Wilderness will not be mentioned again. ”
