Moon City Volume Moon City Volume Chapter 52 Ascending
Yu Che, Yu Rui and Su Meng'an cleaned up a little and headed towards Cangyuan City, first walking in the mountains for a day, Yu Che was worried that Yu Rui's body would not be able to bear it, so he led Su Mengan and Yu Rui to the official road towards Cangyuan City. After another day, the three of them came to Cangyuan City, and first found a shop to live in. The three of them discussed, Yu Rui went to buy some supplies, and Yu Che and Su Mengan went to visit Zhou Dingguo to explain the situation by the way.
The two of them first walked around the street a few times and walked towards Zhou Dingguo's mansion in Cangyuan City, and after a report from the gatehouse, Zhou Dingguo personally came out to greet Yu Che, but the door was not wide open, but Yu Che and Su Mengan were pulled into the mansion. It was ordered that the gatekeeper close the door, and then bowed to Yu Che and said: "The criminal minister Zhou Dingguo can't rescue Yuecheng, and the crime deserves ten thousand deaths, and now he still lets His Royal Highness King Yan suffer and come here, it is really a crime that deserves ten thousand deaths." ”
Yu Che hurriedly helped Zhou Dingguo up and said, "General Zhou doesn't have to be like this, I came here to ask for something." ”
Zhou Dingguo said: "King Yan has something to say." Yu Che was about to speak, but saw Miao Qianren looking at the general on the side, only to see that although the general was burly, he had a delicate face, and immediately said: "General Zhou is handsome." ”
Zhou Dingguo saw Miao Qianren at this time, and immediately frowned and said, "Who is this old gentleman?"
"This is my teacher, named Su Meng'an. If it weren't for him, I would have died in Moon City. Teacher, General Zhou is known as the silver-faced Langjun in the army, don't look at General Zhou's handsomeness, but for marching operations, almost no one in Dayu can be on the right side of General Zhou. Yu Che hurriedly said.
After hearing this, Zhou Dingguo said to Su Meng'an: "Since Su Lao is King Yan's mentor, he is also King Yan's life-saving benefactor. That is Zhou Dingguo's benefactor. Su Lao was on top and was worshiped by Zhou Dingguo. As he spoke, he knelt down in front of Su Meng'an.
Su Mengan grabbed him and said: "Yu Che is my disciple, I should have saved him, General Zhou doesn't have to be polite, I came with Yu Che, and I also have something to ask you." ”
Zhou Dingguo said: "This is not a place to speak, Su Lao and King Yan, please come with me." As he spoke, he sat in a posture of invitation, and Su Meng'an and Yu Che followed him towards the mansion. After a while, the three of them came to the study.
"It's secluded here, Su Lao and King Yan have something to do, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it. "Zhouding National Highway.
Yu Che and Su Meng'an glanced at each other, and Su Meng'an motioned for Yu Che to say, Yu Che said, "I came this time to ask General Zhou for a customs clearance document." ”
Zhou Dingguo frowned and said, "King Yan, why do you want to clear the customs?"
"I'm going to go to the little lonely city to ask for my uncle, ask him for help, and ask him to help me get back to the country. Yu Che also knew that it was difficult for him to get out, the country was newly dead, and he should have stayed in China to preside over the overall situation. Originally, according to Su Meng'an's idea, Yu Che was to stay in Cangyuan City and let him follow Zhou Dingguo to the south to restore the country, but Yu Che really felt that he should make his own strength strong before making plans.
Just as Yu Che was beating the drum in his heart, he saw Zhou Dingguo and said: "The last general will support you, but I don't know when His Highness will leave?"
Yu Che said suspiciously: "Just as soon as possible." ”
"Okay, please wait a while, and I'll go get you the clearance papers. Saying that, Zhou Dingguo went to the inner room, leaving Su Mengan and Yu Che looking at each other. Su Mengan had prepared some rhetoric, but he didn't need it at this time. The two of them were surprised when they saw Zhou Dingguo coming out of the inner room, still holding a scroll in his hand, as if he had prepared it a long time ago.
Zhou Dingguo handed the scroll to Yu Che's hand and said, "Your Highness, you need to go to the small lonely city to pass through four countries, the mountains are high and the rivers are long, and you have to take care of yourself for a long journey on the road." ”
"Thank you for your concern, I tell the general, don't rush south to restore the country, the rebels are strong, and there are masters in charge. If the general has the heart to protect Dayu, it is enough to abide by the north, and I will make plans when I come back. Yu Che held Zhou Dingguo's hand and said.
Zhou Dingguo nodded and said: "The last general will obey the name of His Royal Highness, please rest assured, I Zhou Dingguo is here, Da Yu is here, Zhou Dingguo is not here, Da Yu will also be there." ”
Yu Che patted Zhou Dingguo on the shoulder, and walked out of the study with Su Mengan.
After the two walked away, three people came out of the inner room, two men and one woman, the woman stood in the middle, dressed in white, holding a folding fan in her hand and playing, the woman was not gorgeous, but she had an elegant and refined temperament, and she looked a little heroic between her eyebrows and eyes. The man on the left hand side is not tall, and even a little thin, but his eyes are bright, revealing a shrewdness. The man on the right side was wearing a hat on his head, his face was unclear, and a bamboo sword was pinned to his waist.
"My fourth brother is a little shrewd, much stronger than Yu Su's brute. The woman spoke suddenly.
When Zhou Dingguo saw the three of them coming out, he turned around and said, "The eldest princess is high-minded, and it is not unreasonable for the fourth prince to arrange it like this." ”
The woman nodded and said: "I also think that we should hold the north first, pass on my orders, you can recruit troops in the north, and build fortresses relying on the terrain. ”
"And what about your accession to the throne?"
"This matter has to be discussed in the long run, if the fourth brother can come back, let him sit, I Yu Mozhi really don't want to sit on this throne. ”
Although Su Mengan and Yu Che were puzzled, they didn't think much about it, they immediately returned to the inn and waited for Yurui to come back in the afternoon, then rested for the night, and prepared to go to Xiaogucheng the next morning.
On top of the permafrost ice sheet
A group of mercenaries were recuperating, they had just experienced a battle, so their clothes were covered with blood, some of their own and some spirit beasts. But there was joy on everyone's face. Some were laughing and eating dry food and roasting the fire, and some of the injured were cleaning their wounds. If you look closely, you will find that there are many swordsmen among this group of mercenaries. And it has reached dozens of people, among which the strongest strength has reached the realm of the Great Sword Master. Mercenary groups of this strength are placed in some small countries, and their strength is superior.
"Captain, this beast is really abrasive. A bearded man said to the most powerful middle-aged man in leather armor.
"This is a spirit beast that is indeed quite powerful, and its strength can reach the level of the Sword Sect. Don't talk about you and me, in our Shangwu Hall, except for the hall master and deputy hall master. It will take a lot of trouble for the rest of them to kill them. It took three months for our Tiger Skin Mercenary Group to kill them, which is not easy. The middle-aged man said, and his face was still full of pride. As he spoke, he also took a bite of the thigh meat of the spirit beast in his hand, which he didn't know what it was.
"Brothers, this mission was a success. I, Fu Yuan, once again promised to return to the small lonely city, and each person would have three days off and be rewarded with ten gold coins. The swordsman will be rewarded with fifteen pieces. The middle-aged man said to the group of mercenaries who were eating meat and making jokes.
As soon as Fu Yuan's words came out, it caused a wolf howl. The bearded man frowned slightly and whispered to Fu Yuan, "Captain, we have a total of one hundred and fifty-seven brothers on this mission. Fifty-three died, and the rest were a total of thirty-nine sword masters, and the rest were ordinary people. If you do the math, it's more than a thousand gold coins. How much is the reward for this mission? Don't be gone before you can divide it. ”
Fu Yuan glanced at the bearded man and said, "Ke Mu, you can't be petty. Do you know how much we will be paid this time? The price of 13,000 in the church also has the position of honorary deacon, and the Chamber of Commerce gives 16,000. If you are stingy with this money, you won't be able to get things done. ”
Ke Mu's mouth opened hugely, and he couldn't speak for a while. Sixteen thousand, that's not a small amount. It's enough for an ordinary person to live for a lifetime. Although Shangwutang gave less than the Wan Qi Chamber of Commerce, there is also a title of deacon, although it is an honorary one, but with this title, the benefits that their mercenary group can get in the future are huge.
Ke Mu swallowed and said, "Yes, yes, I'm a little petty." ”
Fu Yuan took another bite of meat and said, "Besides, how much can this group of people go back." Maybe so. As he spoke, there was a fierce look in his eyes.
"Captain, what do you mean......" Ke Mu said and made a decapitation pose.
Fu Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Inform the old brothers, do something to the scattered people." ”
Ke Mu nodded, and then walked into the crowd. Obviously, this kind of work is already familiar to them.
Fu Yuan sat down cross-legged and looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance. I secretly said in my heart that this ghost place is really not for people, it's been three months, and if we come here for another two months, we will die here. The survival limit of human beings on the permafrost ice field is three years, and these three years are still maintained by a strong man at the level of the Sword Emperor. If ordinary people were on this permafrost ice field, they might not be able to survive for even a month. This time, I spent a lot of money to ask for more than a dozen Yufeng Pei in the hall, otherwise I would really have to explain it all here. The terrifying weather is one reason why it is difficult to survive on this ice field, and another reason is because there are powerful spirit beasts on this permafrost ice field. Even a swordsman can't exert his full strength on the permafrost ice field. For some reason, on the permafrost ice field, the recovery speed of Dou Qi was extremely slow.
Fu Yuan was thinking about it, when he suddenly saw several large holes cracked in a snowfield not far away, and several huge black claws poked out of them. Fu Yuan's face changed slightly, and he shouted loudly: "Brothers, copy guys." Damn, I ran into a ghost mouse. ”
