Volume 2 The Dark Brotherhood Chapter 36 General Zhong Yan

After passing through the snowfield, along the official road to the east for dozens of miles, there is the Yan country border plugged heavy land, Qu Reverse City.

If Hanxiao City, as the southernmost city of Yan Kingdom, chokes the north-south sea passage, then Quyi City, located in the middle of the border, is the hub of the entire southwest defense line of Yan Kingdom, and the unified command of the border army to deal with the threat from the Warcraft Forest.

Unlike other cities, there is no moat outside the city, only a huge ravine surrounds it, and there are four city gates in the east, west, north and south, and the suspension bridge in front of the gate crosses the ravine, connecting the inside and outside.

Whether ordinary people or spiritual cultivators, if they want to enter the city, they can only pass through the drawbridge and then cross the city gate.

Ba Fenghan looked up at this magnificent city, and the huge crossbow machines and neatly arranged defenders on the city walls were particularly eye-catching.

He withdrew his gaze and walked into the city from the west gate, followed by a little princess with a black cat in her arms.

Qu Reverse City does not focus on trade, and most of the people in the city are with military families, but there are not many spiritual cultivators, so it adds a bit of market atmosphere.

The little princess was eager for the antidote, and as soon as she entered the city, she inquired about the specific location of the General's Mansion and went straight to it, not wanting to delay for a moment.

Ba Feng was so happy, followed closely behind the little princess, walked about a stick of incense, and finally arrived in front of the general's mansion in the center of the city.

Two armored soldiers stood on both sides of the mansion gate with halberds, looking at the two uninvited guests with cold eyes.

After the little princess looked at the three gilded characters of the General's Mansion written on the plaque above, she was sure that it was the mansion of the guard Zhong Yan, and then strode up the steps and was about to kick in the door, but was stopped by two soldiers with halberds, "Is there an ultimatum?"

The little princess was bullied by Ba Fenghan, who had already held back the fire in her belly, and was worried that she had nowhere to vent, and immediately scolded when she heard the words: "Bullshit's ultimatum, this princess is here, just enter if you want to!"

"Princess?"

The two soldiers looked at each other, wondering if the dirty little girl had a problem with her brain, and didn't bother with her.

One of the soldiers said: "Little girl, trespassing on the General's Mansion is a board, you better go and play elsewhere!"

"Play with you big-headed ghost!"

The little princess suddenly raised her foot and kicked the soldier who spoke to the ground, if it weren't for her cultivation to be sealed, I am afraid that this foot would have killed the soldier.

Seeing this, the other soldier immediately pounced on the little princess.

The thunder winged tiger in the gentle countryside who was disturbed by his sweet dreams directly 'meowed', poked out his right claw, and lifted it several meters away.

The soldier who was kicked down by her happened to see this scene, stared at the black cat in the woman's arms, and hurriedly got up and entered the house to report.

"If you don't have to do this earlier, you have to itch and beg for beating!"

At this time, the little princess looked at the thunder winged tiger who transformed into a black cat in her arms, and she only felt extremely cute.

Without waiting for the soldiers to report her return, she had already stepped through the door, and Ba Fenghan, who had been gloating at the bottom of the stairs, followed her.

The two of them didn't go far, and under the leadership of the soldiers reported earlier, they met a fat young man with a saber hanging from his waist, followed by several government soldiers.

The man was dressed in regular clothes, about nine feet tall, and his body was bloated, like a mountain of meat, and at this time he was scolding the soldier who had lost the face of the general's mansion while scolding and scolding his sleeves forward.

When he saw the little princess with a black cat in front of him and a dirty body, he was stunned, rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and then turned his anger into joy, and ran over with a changed face.

After not taking two steps, the foot of the foot was unsteady on its feet, and rolled to the feet of the little princess.

The bloated man kowtowed, "Deputy General Zhang Lu, meet Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

He raised his head, and his small eyes were a little red and swollen, "Princess, how did you get like this?"

Ba Fenghan found that after the little princess saw this young man named Zhang Lu, the gloom on her face had obviously faded a little, and it seemed that she had met an acquaintance.

The little princess snorted coldly, but she didn't get angry, she reached out and grabbed Zhang Lu's ear and picked it up, took a few steps back to look at it, and teased: "You can, you will become a deputy general in less than two years after leaving the emperor, that is, this body of fat has not decreased but increased, and truthfully explain to Miss Ben, did your father buy this deputy general position?"

Zhang Lu scratched his head, "How can it, it's all up to the general to promote, and besides, it's not because the barracks food is too good if you can't get off this body of flesh." ”

The accompanying government soldiers were already dumbfounded at this time, Vice General Zhang was not smiling on weekdays, and his prestige in the army was second only to General Zhong, where had he ever seen him like this.

As for the soldier who went to report, he was already dead when he heard Vice General Zhang call the other party a princess.

Zhang Lu glanced at the entourage and said sharply: "All the pestles are here, have nothing to do?"

And the crowd scattered as birds and beasts.

Zhang Lu invited the little princess into the council room, and kept asking her how she was so depressed on the way.

The little princess couldn't bear him to ask non-stop, so she told the story of what happened along the way, but omitted Ba Fenghan and the two key people related to him.

In the living room, Zhang Lu looked at the little princess sitting on the main seat, and said slowly: "I didn't expect the two old men in the palace to die under the beasts like this. ”

He suddenly smiled and said, "It's good that you come back alive." ”

The little princess was a little upset, "Can you be serious, am I here to catch up with you?" Because you are still the deputy general of the border army, I said so much, didn't you notice the abnormality of the Warcraft Forest?" As she spoke, she subconsciously glanced at Ba Fenghan, who was sitting at the end.

Zhang Lu followed her gaze, only to find that the man who thought he was the princess's entourage had also followed, and was about to ask his identity, but the little princess slapped the table and scolded: "Where did you get so much nonsense! The tide of beasts in the Warcraft Forest is about to rise, do you know? Go and find Uncle Zhong!"

The little princess has always been stubborn, Zhang Lu thought that she was sneaking out of the palace to play and temporarily made up the story to herself, so she didn't take it to heart, and when she heard her scolding, she couldn't help but be startled.

Zhang Lu can be said to have been bullied by the little princess and grew up, but he has never seen her so solemn, thinking of the words of the little princess before, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly got up and said: "The general is handling affairs in the military machine room, I'll invite him over!"

"Wait for you to please, the daylily is cold, go ahead and lead the way!"

The little princess got up and walked out of the hall with the black cat in her arms, and when she passed by Zhang Lu, she didn't forget to kick him in the ass.

The military machine room was not far from the conference hall, and under the leadership of Zhang Lu, he soon met Zhong Yan, the general who was burying the case and issuing the dossier.

At the age of about forty, he has nothing to do with burly majesty, and his appearance is even more ordinary.

It was hard for Ba Fenghan to imagine that it would be such an ordinary-looking man who would lead the entire southwest defense line.

Zhang Lu saluted the man who was sitting in front of the desk and carefully reviewed the file, and said softly: "General, the eldest princess is here." ”

Zhong Yan nodded, and after approving the file in his hand, he slowly got up and saluted.

The little princess hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and seeing that his face was a little sickly, she said with concern: "Uncle Zhong, are you sick?"

Zhong Yan waved his hand, "Occasionally, the wind is cold, and it is not in the way." ”

He looked at the little princess with a dirty face, and continued, "Why are you here and still looking like this?"

The little princess said seriously: "Originally, I went to the Warcraft Forest to hunt for beast souls, but I was attacked by a herd of beasts, and my entourage died, and I was the only one in the great evil...... He escaped with the help of his brother. As he spoke, he looked at the silent Ba Fenghan behind him.

She continued, "Uncle Zhong, the Warcraft Forest is not very peaceful!"

Zhong Yan nodded and said, "According to the report of the spies sent a few days ago, the demonic beasts in it are indeed more active than before. ”

The little princess said: "Did the spy report say that a large number of demonic beasts are flocking to the border in the depths of the deep forest, and as for those peripheral demonic beasts, they are premeditating to besiege and kill the mercenaries who have entered it at the moment?"

Zhong Yan shook his head and frowned: "None of the spies sent out in the past two days have returned, and we have only gotten so much news, what you said is what you saw with your own eyes?"

The little princess said in an affirmative tone: "They all escaped and witnessed it all the way, I think those demonic beasts can't just attack the mercenaries, I'm afraid that all the humans who enter them will become their targets." None of those spies have returned yet, and I'm afraid something has happened to them. ”

She paused and continued: "Uncle Zhong, I was rescued by a mysterious old man on my way to escape, and then I met Brother Ba, and the old man told me that the old beast king who had dominated the Warcraft Forest for hundreds of years has been replaced by a new beast king, and it won't be long before a large-scale beast tide will sweep across the border between the two countries!"
