Chapter 115: Heading South
The flag fluttered, and the 5,000 forbidden troops marched all the way to the southwest, sleepless, and the speed was amazing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The battle situation in the southwest was already very urgent, and the remaining defense line could not last long, Ning Chen did not dare to delay, as long as the team could hold on, he kept ordering to hurry.
The territory of Great Xia is very large, and it takes about a month to travel from the northern city to the southwest frontier of Great Xia, but the forbidden army is all warriors, and the speed is much faster than that of ordinary people.
Ning Chen still has injuries on his body, so he brought a lot of medicine, and there are a lot of elixirs in the army, and he basically eats them as food.
On the third day, in the Weiyang Palace of Great Xia, a cyan pillar of light soared into the sky, and the shocking scene shocked the world.
For example, today's summer cut, the thousand-year-old invincible Great Xia has shown a declining trend, like duckweed in the rain, which will be completely submerged at any time.
This cyan pillar of light, although it does not mean that Great Xia can reverse the situation, at least it gives the people of Great Xia a trace of confidence, the heavens have not completely abandoned Great Xia, and the queen mother in the palace is still working hard for the survival of Great Xia.
Ning Chen looked at the cyan pillar of light and was silent for a long time, he knew that the lime had broken through the innate level.
At the beginning, it was Lime who brought him to Weiyang Palace, and he was always a little afraid of his eldest grandson, but the relationship with Lime was the best, but today, he couldn't be happy when he saw her break through the innate nature.
If he wants to block those monks in the Buddha country, he needs a congenital, but in fact, he is going to die.
Lime broke through the innate at this time, and the person who came here would no longer be someone else.
Ning Chen sighed lightly in his heart, he really didn't want Lime to die with him, the eldest grandson always needed a trustworthy person by his side, he and Lime were dead, what should the eldest grandson do.
He never complained that the eldest grandson pushed him to the southwest frontier to die, in this world, the most fierce person to him is the eldest grandson, and the best person to him is also the eldest grandson.
The eldest grandson did all the things that an elder could do, he had beaten, scolded, and punished him on weekdays, but when Emperor Xia wanted to kill him, he still stood up desperately to protect him.
During his days in the palace, he caused almost as many disasters as he made merits, but in the palace, merit and demerit can never be offset, and if you make a mistake once, you will never recover.
He sneaked out of the palace, falsely passed on the will of the eldest grandson, and even resisted the decree and did not return, the eldest grandson was angry, but he only banned his feet, and did not even hit the board.
The only time the eldest grandson was really angry was because he secretly made a deal with the ninth princess behind her back, trying to enter the family sending procession.
That time he was wrong, but the old eunuch in the clean room that Du Chengxue killed at that time was fished out, which really scared him, and he desperately wanted to run away, which finally angered the eldest grandson.
He knelt for three days, and the eldest grandson angrily threw the teacup on his forehead, bleeding all over his face.
Even so, the eldest grandson still secretly told Xia Miaoyu to take care of his safety, if it weren't for this, Xia Miaoyu estimated that he wouldn't have the time to do it.
For him, the eldest grandson is the best elder in this world, and this time, in the case that someone must be sent to death, the eldest grandson chose him, and it can only be him.
There's nothing to complain about, it's a matter of course.
After nightfall, Ning Chen ordered the team to rest for the night and continue on their way tomorrow morning.
When the bright moon hung high, the blue light crossed the sky, shining for nine days, and the lime came.
The beautiful face is as beautiful as ever, and the long hair dances in the wind, standing in the void, giving people the illusion that they will leave at any time.
Ning Chen didn't like this feeling, so he beckoned, "You come down"
The lime fell, walked up to her, and said, "Niangniang asked me to help you"
It's all here, Ning Chen knows that he can't change anything, although, he prefers that it is the old eunuch Pei who comes.
"Prince Yan asked me to give this to you"
With a wave of Lime's hand, a light yellow sword appeared, it was the sand sword taken from Beimeng, the only thing that had changed was that the sword had condensed at this moment.
"There is Prince Yan's true yuan condensed in the sword, but there is only one chance to make a move, so you must use it carefully"
Ning Chen took the sword, and he felt that an unprecedented force in the sand sword was constantly circulating, as vast as the sea, and bottomless.
Zhenyuan input, the sand sword immediately sanded, changing the shape as he wanted, Ning Chen put it in his sleeve, this sword came very timely, and it can definitely come in handy at a critical moment.
As the night grew darker, everyone except the soldiers who kept vigil had rested, but one did not want to rest.
Lime has just broken through the innate nature, and there has always been a kind of dusty aura on his body, which is Ning Chen's least favorite feeling, Du Chengxue has forgotten about him, he is afraid that Lime will be like this.
Therefore, this night, Ning Chen did not cultivate, did not heal, and did not sleep, he just pulled the lime floc and chattered all night.
Lime didn't stop it, listened quietly for a night, and at dawn, said lightly, "Not everyone will forget the past when they break through the innate nature, you worry too much"
Ning Chen touched his nose in embarrassment, wasn't he scared.
Two days later, the aura on Lime's body could finally be completely confined and returned to its original state, and Ning Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
The team had already traveled more than half of the journey, and there were still three days to go before they could reach their destination, so Ning Chen once again ordered the team to rest for half a day and make a slight adjustment before going on the road.
Warriors are also human beings, and it is impossible to stay awake all the time, and those who do not sleep are monsters, such as innate.
Mingyue is the only person in the team who doesn't know martial arts, and she has been hurrying for days, her little face is bitter, and she is extremely uncomfortable.
Ning Chen's heart was very painful, the little girl had suffered too much with him, running around, and the days of landing were numbered.
It's just that this war will take a long time, and Xiao Mingyue herself knows it, so she didn't say anything.
Half a day later, the team continued to hurry, and the two Praetorian Guard commanders looked more and more solemn, both of them were strong men in the late stage of the Nine Ranks, although they had not yet reached their peak, they would not be too far apart.
However, they knew very well in their hearts that their trip was to send them to death in the past.
In the late Jiupin period, it was really nothing in that Buddha country.
It is said that under the abbot of Du'e Temple, there are four protectors of the Buddha Kingdom, and each of them is at the top of the nine grades, and they are not invincible.
As the commander of the Praetorian Guard, they naturally know some things that the common people don't know, and the Knowing Destiny Hou is the most trusted person of the Queen Mother, and now, even the Knowing Destiny Hou was withdrawn by the Queen Mother to send him to death, it is conceivable how dangerous Daxia has been.
The soldiers and horses of Great Xia were pinned down by various battlefields, coupled with the loss of several defeats, and they were already overstretched and no longer in the past.
Great Xia is a centralized dynasty, there are not many guards in each city, the main forces of Great Xia are concentrated in the hands of ten martial marquis and the imperial court, the rebellion of the seven cities has been brewing for so long, and in the end it is only 250,000 soldiers and horses.
The three-day journey passed quickly, and the atmosphere in the team began to gradually become solemn, and the southwest frontier of Great Xia had finally arrived.
The war in the distance was faintly audible, and the 5,000 forbidden troops camped in place for the final rest.
Shrouded in darkness, like a desperate situation that would never light up, Ning Chen stood on a high ground, looking at the flames of war in the distance, a pair of cold eyes and thoughts kept flashing.
"Hou"
The two leaders of the forbidden army stepped forward, saluted respectfully, and asked expectantly, "May I ask Master Hou, can we really do it?"
Before the tent, one figure after another also walked out, looking here with both eyes, and there was also a trace of confusion and expectation in their eyes.
Ning Chen turned around and looked at these different faces, his thoughts were very complicated, he knew that from today onwards, the life and death of the five thousand forbidden troops were all in his hands.
"Are you afraid of death?" Ning Chen asked calmly.
The five thousand soldiers in front of the camp were slightly stunned, looked at each other, and in the end, I don't know who said in a low voice, "I'm afraid!"
"I'm afraid, maybe more than you," Ning Chen said honestly.
Hearing this, the eyes of the soldiers flashed with panic, and they didn't know what to do.
Ning Chen glanced in the direction of the Great Xia Imperial City, and immediately, said in a deep voice:
"In this world, no one is not afraid of death, you are afraid, I am afraid"
"I have always believed that people who do not have reverence for life do not deserve to live in this world"
"You are human beings, it is in your nature to be afraid of death, there is nothing to be ashamed of"
"The Buddha talks about the afterlife, but I never believe in the Buddha, I only believe in myself, but also only believe in this life, the queen mother has a life-saving grace for me, love for each other, this life is also gracious, although death does not regret"
"In this life, people always have their own attachments, perhaps more important than life, I have, so, even if I am afraid of death, I will come, as for whether you have it, you have to ask yourself"
"I won't die in vain, and I won't let you die in vain, but I really can't promise that you will all go back alive"
"The queen ordered me to block the Buddha Kingdom for a month, in this month, I won't say anything about leaving if you are afraid of death, even if you all die in battle, I will not order a retreat, and in the same way, if I die first, you can't retreat"
"Tonight, think for yourselves, and if you feel that there is something undone, write it down and bury it here together, and in the future, if anyone is alive, you will help the deceased fulfill their last wishes."
"Okay, let's go back to our tents and rest."
When the words fell, Ning Chen waved his hand, all he could say was this, and the rest, they could only think about it for themselves, the forbidden army of Great Xia represented the last strength of Great Xia, which could be defeated and not lost.
Defeat is just a war, and defeat is the belief of the Great Xia millennium.
The battlefield has always been the burial ground of heroes, and there are countless martyrs who choose to sacrifice themselves to protect the peace behind them in the Great Xia millennium, which is why there is a prosperous millennium in Great Xia.
No matter how powerful the dynasty is, it is impossible not to be defeated, and the reason why Great Xia is invincible is because, no matter when, the generations of martyrs of Great Xia have never lost their beliefs.
The general of Beizhang Yuan, the last words written in blood are still in front of him, this is the eternal immortal war spirit of Great Xia.
"My blood and my bones have been given up from now on, the heavens have mercy, I hope to turn into a war spirit after death, and protect my Great Xia territory forever"
