Chapter 66: Departure!
Ji Chen was silent and did not speak.
Fan Yan said: "The supply of soldiers for the border war is once every three years, this time our city needs to send thirty people, Fan, Zhao, and Ye will send seven each, and the rest will be provided by other small families in the city, and you should gather at the city gate after five days." ”
"Only thirty, so few?" Ji Chen said in surprise.
"Although this thousand-year war is related to the interests of the entire Dongzhou, it happened at the junction of Dongzhou and Mobei, and it has little impact on the south of Dongzhou, so the supply of border wars is decreasing from north to south, like we Chiba said that it is actually a city very far south, so we only need to provide thirty people. Of course, you can't imagine that there are many cities in Dongzhou, so the total number of zeros and zeros is also an extremely large number. ”
Ji Chen nodded slightly.
"Actually, I only know so much about this war, because the two places are far apart, and you still have to know where you go. In short, you have to face it with the mentality of ten deaths and one life, and you must not be careless!" Fan Yan said again.
"I know, I'll be ready. Ji Chen replied with a smile.
Fan Yan glanced at Ji Chen deeply, "Just rest well these days, someone will come to pick you up in five days." ”
"Got it. ”
Fan Yan patted Ji Chen's shoulder and got up.
"I've said everything I need to say, so be it, I'll go first. ”
"I'll send you. Ji Chen also hurriedly stood up.
"No need. Fan Yan opened the door by himself, took a step, and then suddenly turned around: "By the way, you don't have to return that blazing fire, just take it as a gift from me." ”
"Thank you, Lord Fan. Ji Chen said in the room.
Fan Yan nodded and took another step, then closed the door.
Ji Chen, who was staying alone in the house, felt very puzzled, in Ji Chen's opinion, this mortal should not look like a good old man, but what he did seemed to really dispel the idea of the magic sword on his back, although it seemed very good, but Ji Chen always felt that something seemed wrong.
......
In the blink of an eye, five days passed.
Ji Chen has been lying in bed for the past five days, except for eating, drinking, and sleeping, he feels very depressed and contradictory in his heart, all of which come from Zhang Lan and Fan Ling'er.
Although Fan Ling'er and Zhang Lan look exactly the same, Ji Chen always thinks that Fan Ling'er is Fan Ling'er, and Zhang Lan is always Zhang Lan, they are two different people after all, and what he likes is Zhang Lan and not Fan Ling'er. Although Fan Ling'er seemed to have a crush on herself, she couldn't agree, because in Ji Chen's opinion, this was extremely unfair to Fan Ling'er.
But when Ji Chen knew that Fan Ling'er and Zhao Hongying had a marriage contract, he really felt sad from the bottom of his heart.
On the day in the lobby, Ji Chen knew that he couldn't change the fact that Fan Ling'er married Zhao Hongying, but he would never tolerate Fan Ling'er marrying Zhao Hongying in advance because of him.
This can be regarded as a kind of protection for Fan Ling'er, Ji Chen thought in his heart.
Early that morning, Ji Chen got up early, and he cleaned up the whole house, but found that he had nothing else except a Demon Heart Transformation Sword and a Blaze Duel given to him by Fan Ling'er.
Ji Chen sat silently at the round table in the room, holding a cup of hot tea, waiting for someone to inform him.
Before the cup of hot tea was finished, Fan Yan knocked on the door: "Ji Chen, are you ready?"
"Alright. Ji Chen pushed open the door and walked out.
"Then let's go. ”
Fan Yan took Ji Chen to the gate of the Fan Mansion, where there were seven young people who were about the same as him, and Fan Mo was standing in front of them and seemed to be saying something.
"This is the end of the matter, are you all ready?" said Fan Mo to the seven.
"Ready!" the seven returned.
Fan Mo nodded: "Although this trip will be very dangerous, you must know that at the big point, this is a fight for our Dongzhou, and at a small level, this is a fight for your family, even if it is a sacrifice, it is glorious." ”
"Yes!" the seven returned.
"Well, no matter where you are, you will always be a member of the mortal family. As the patriarch of the Fan family, I promise you that your family will take good care of your family, and will never let them be harmed in the slightest, you don't need to worry, just go into battle and kill the enemy!" Fan Mo said again.
"Thank you, Patriarch!"
Fan Mo smiled with satisfaction: "It is worthy of being a member of our Fan family!"
Fan Mo looked back, and just saw Fan Yan and Ji Chen who came over, his face softened, and he walked in front of Ji Chen.
"Patriarch. Ji Chen bowed and saluted.
Fan Mo nodded, and then said: "Ji Chen, I really wronged you, it's not that I don't want to protect you, it's just that the alliance between the two Fan and Zhao families is very important to the Fan family, so ......"
"Patriarch Fan doesn't have to feel guilty, I should bear the trouble I caused, staying in the Fan Mansion during this time is already causing trouble to you, and I should be the one who should be guilty. ”
"Hey, what a seedling. Patriarch Fanmo sighed, and then took out a red book from his arms, "Here, this is the fire attribute spirit technique Fire Wave Thousand Strikes that I specially found for you in the Jing Pavilion, so I should make up for you." ”
Ji Chen hurriedly excused himself and said, "Thank you Patriarch Fan for your kindness, but Lord Fan has already given me the Flame Determination, where would you dare to accept such a precious thing." ”
Fan Mo smiled slightly: "What Fan Yan gave you is his, and what I give you is mine, besides, this is just a low-level spiritual skill, you just have to accept it." ”
Fan Yan also said: "You can accept what the patriarch gives you, the battlefield is not a good place, one more spiritual skill, one more life-saving capital." ”
When Ji Chen heard this, he had no choice but to accept it and put it in his arms: "Thank you Patriarch Fan." ”
"Mm-hmm, take care of yourself on this trip. Fan Mo said to Ji Chen, and then said to Fan Yan: "Okay, it's not too early, you can take them to the city gate." ”
Fan Yan nodded, and then said to Ji Chen, "Let's go." ”
Ji Chen looked at the depths of the Fan Mansion, and at this moment, he still wanted to see Fan Ling'er for the last time.
"What, do you have anything else?" Fan Yan saw Ji Chen looking at the mansion for a long time and did not move.
"Oh, no, let's go. Ji Chen came back to his senses, and then followed Fan Yan and the other seven people towards the West City Gate.
When he came to the gate of Xicheng, Ji Chen saw dozens of people standing there from afar.
Fan Yan walked over and greeted a few of them, and those people hurriedly returned the salute, it seems that these people should be in charge of sending the selected people from each family.
One of them was the one who was also present when the Zhao family came to the door that day.
As soon as the man saw Ji Chen, he shouted at him, "Over there, don't go over there quickly!" The man pointed to a few people in yellow clothes.
Fan Yan turned to him and said, "Come on, you are the person who replaces the Zhao family, so you have to stand there when the people from the war zone come to count later." ”
Ji Chen nodded, and walked among the people alone.
The group stood outside the city gate and waited for a stick of incense, when a black dot suddenly appeared in the sky in the distance.
Several elders of various clans, led by Fan Yan, all looked up at the black dots in the air.
"It's coming!" Fan Yan said.
Under the gaze of everyone, the black dot grew bigger and bigger, and finally it took on the shape of a huge brown eagle!
When the eagle approached the city gate, the fierce wind blew and the people could not even open their eyes. The wind stopped, except for a few elders, the rest of the people were curiously talking about the giant beast in front of them, this giant eagle with wings spread for hundreds of meters squatted in front of the city gate, even compared to the head of Chiba Castle, it was not much smaller.
"What a big eagle!"
"What kind of beast is this!?"
“......”
While the crowd was talking, a rugged man in obsidian iron armor with a long sword hanging from his waist and a bearded face jumped from the head of the giant eagle, followed by two soldiers who were also wearing armor.
"Silence!" Fan Yan shouted with his hands raised.
Immediately, the crowd fell silent.
The rugged man walked towards the crowd with steady steps, and the iron armor on his body rang with each step.
The man walked up to Fan Yan and stopped, and took out a token from his waist, which was engraved with three red letters, summoning order.
"My name is Long Hao, and I am the captain of the third battalion of the Iron and Blood Legion on the Dongzhou border, and I am responsible for welcoming all the soldiers back to the camp in accordance with the Dongzhou Border Land War Strategy Agreement. ”
"General Long, thirty soldiers are in place. Fan Yan said.
The man named Long Hao nodded, then looked at the two behind him, and the two quickly walked in front of the crowd where Ji Chen was.
"Stand in line!" one of them shouted.
When they heard this, they immediately stood in three columns, and then the two men walked past them one after another.
After the two of them finished scanning, they walked up to Long Hao: "Report to the captain, the thirty soldiers are all eligible, the highest one is in the early stage of anger, and the lowest one is in the middle of the middle stage." ”
When Long Hao heard this, he raised his eyebrows, "How many people are there in the middle of Chuhua?"
One returned: "Only one." ”
"Who is it?"
Hearing this, Ji Chen walked out slowly, "It's me." ”
Long Hao's eyes narrowed into a slit and looked at Ji Chen.
Fan Yan hurriedly walked over and said, "General, the agreement stipulates that as long as the person who opens the soul can participate in the war." ”
Long Hao squinted at Fan Yan: "I'm just a squad leader, not a general." ”
Fan Yan didn't dare to say anything more when he heard this, and he was sweating profusely.
"I didn't say he couldn't. Long Hao said again
"Let's go. Long Hao said a word and turned to the giant eagle, kicked his legs, and jumped directly on the back of the eagle dozens of meters high.
The remaining two soldiers shouted at the thirty men: "Follow us and go!"
Under the watchful eyes of the elders, thirty people walked to the tail of the giant eagle and followed it to the back of the giant eagle.
When Ji Chen was about to step on the feathers of the eagle's tail, Fan Ling'er suddenly rushed out of the city gate.
"Ji Chen!"
As soon as Ji Chen heard Fan Ling'er's voice, he immediately wanted to cross the city gate, but a soldier stopped him: "Go up quickly!"
"This big brother, I'll go down for a while, and I'll come up when I say goodbye. Ji Chen asked eagerly.
"Obey orders!" the soldier said with a grim expression.
In desperation, Ji Chen looked at Fan Ling'er while walking on the back of the giant eagle.
"If you survive, remember to come back to me!" Fan Ling'er shouted with wet eyes.
Ji Chen's heart was also full of sadness: "If I can survive, I will definitely come back to you!"
Ji Chen shouted with all his strength.
When the soldiers on the side heard this, they sneered and said, "Go back alive? ”
Ji Chen glanced at him and ignored it.
"Let's go!"
Long Hao's voice spread all over the eagle's back, and as his voice fell, Ji Chen only felt a jolt under his feet, and then the wings on both sides of the giant eagle stretched out, only flapping slightly, Ji Chen saw that the ground was quickly moving away from him, and Fan Ling'er's figure quickly became smaller.
