Chapter 58: The Emperor is Far Away

It's just that having the strength of the Rigid Force Realm doesn't mean that you can become a strong opponent of the forbidden guards, not to mention Dong Canghai who is holding a hundred refining swords and Fang Ling who is a fire pattern beast horn.

If you want to talk about the strength of military generals, there are no more than two kinds of masters, one is the veterans and generals who can survive repeated battles on the border, these people have a body of actual combat skills honed in the fight of thousands of people, and have the extraordinary courage tempered in killing and blood.

One is the Imperial City Garrison and the Forbidden Army, each of which is a leader selected from all over the world, with an excellent foundation in martial arts, coupled with special training and frequent battles, it is naturally superior in force, world, decisiveness and skill.

In addition, the elite soldiers of Pingtan Pass and Qingshui Pass, although they are a grade higher than the defenders of ordinary towns, but they live in a stable hinterland, have no experience in fighting on the battlefield, and even go to exterminate the bandits once every few years, and occasionally catch some people to deal with one or two opponents, there is no pressure at all, and secondly, its foundation is much inferior to the Imperial City Forbidden Army, and the training has not reached that special level.

In addition, Fang Ling and others went on a killing spree, and the blade was everywhere, and the "sex" life of his companion was lost in an instant, which had already cast a shadow on everyone's hearts.

Seeing that his subordinates were a little timid on their faces, He Bao was furious and said: "Up, it's all for the general!"

The leaders hurriedly cheered up, but at this time, they couldn't go away, and they had to lose their lives if they were not careful.

As a result, the seven leaders clenched the ones in their hands and spread out on the deck in an arc, staring at the opponent in front of them, and they didn't dare to let out the atmosphere.

Dong Canghai and the six guards did not hesitate for a minute, and rushed forward, but when they heard the sound of "sonorous", the battle of life and death had already begun at the moment when the blades were staggered.

Fang Ling carried the Fire Pattern Beast Horn and walked leisurely from the middle of the deck, at this time, although the seven leaders had not been completely suppressed by Dong Canghai and the others, there was no possibility of distracting him at all.

After this battle, the deck was already a scene of purgatory on earth, and corpses fell to the ground in various positions, blood accumulating into a scarlet blood groove in the grooves of the deck.

Seeing Fang Ling coming over, Zhou Yongcheng's face changed slightly, his hand unconsciously held the handle of the knife on his waist, but his feet trembled a little.

He was originally a businessman, and he joined the army and was directly promoted to a small boss through two dozen silver dots, and every time he trained, he cut corners, and took silver to settle down.

This also convinced him that if he wanted to make more money, he would have to be a bigger official, and it was because of this that he did not hesitate to help He Bao.

However, looking at Fang Ling's murderous expression, looking at the blood that kept dripping from the blade, he wondered for the first time if he had made a mistake in judgment.

In the way of doing business, if you make a mistake in judgment, you will lose only money, but if you are involved in this power struggle, if you make a mistake in judgment, you will lose human life!

Compared with Zhou Yongcheng's timidity, He Bao was more incredulous, but he quickly came back to his senses, as long as he could kill Fang Ling, then he still had a chance to win!

Pulling it out, He Bao snorted violently and rushed straight towards Fang Ling, the cultivation of the Rigid Force Realm made him not only release the qi of heaven and earth to the sword body under this drink, but also form a layer of protective true qi visible to the naked eye outside the body, the pale yellow "color" luster, hazy as mist.

The corners of Fang Ling's mouth hooked up a cruel smile, let out a tiger roar, and fought fiercely with him.

The two knives collided together with the accumulation of strong strength, Fang Ling was shocked and took four steps back, and He Bao only took a small step back.

Zhou Yongcheng was overjoyed and shouted: "Vice General He, work hard!"

He Bao succeeded in one move, judging the gap between the two, and his confidence was also greatly boosted, and he slashed wildly, like a storm, and each knife condensed ten percent of his cultivation.

Fang Ling knew very well that in terms of strength, he was not yet able to compete with the masters of the Rigid Force Realm, however, he did not have the slightest attitude of dodging, and every sword was also gathered and cultivated to meet it.

At this time, Dong Canghai and the others also had some colors on their bodies, with a few blood marks on their faces and arms, but compared to them, the opponent was even more miserable, the wounds on their bodies were not only doubled, but they were all serious injuries that were half a foot long and could reach the bone.

Six swords were slashed, Fang Ling had been "forced" to retreat from this side of the deck to the middle of the deck, He Bao laughed wildly, and suddenly slashed again, the two knives touched, and the sound of "sonorous-qiang" suddenly disappeared, He Baokong magnified it suddenly, just because the hundred refinements in his hand suddenly split into two halves!

At this moment, he vividly remembered the tragic scene on the night of the Qingshui Pass arson and sneak attack, and each soldier's hand was cut off, and Ma Kai deduced from this that the king of Shicheng must have a treasure knife in his hand.

It's just that he didn't expect that the treasure knife of the King of Shicheng could even be cut off by a hundred refining knives, and only one hesitated, and the fire pattern beast horn had already left a wound on his chest that was a foot long and could reach the bone.

He Beide grinned, staggered a few steps and retreated, and at the same time, the little leaders were also defeated one after another, and they were killed by the sword.

Zhou Yongcheng sighed, and finally knew that the general trend had gone, and he gritted his teeth and jumped into the river, in addition to collecting money in this Pingtan Pass, he also had a good water "nature", but he didn't expect it to become a lifesaver now.

He Bao covered his bloody chest, looked at the enemy who was eyeing him, and couldn't help but gasp for breath, seeing Zhou Yongcheng actually jumping into the river, and swimming towards the dock quickly, he couldn't help but shout: "General Zhou, save me, I can't swim!"

Zhou Yongcheng swam without looking back, and sneered in his heart, save him, save him, wait to tell the queen?

However, an arrow was "exposed" in the dark cabin, and then an arrow "shot" out, hitting Zhou Yongcheng's back.

Seeing Zhou Yongcheng hit by the arrow, He Bao couldn't help but be shocked, and suddenly felt a gust of cold wind coming, and when he turned around again, he saw Fang Ling's knife cutting under his neck, pain and death coming at the same moment, he wanted to shout, but the sound was sprayed out with the blood "liquid" spurting out.

Fang Ling looked at him indifferently, stretched out his hand and pushed, He Bao couldn't stand steadily, retreated crookedly, turned over the string of the boat and fell into the rolling Nu River.

Seeing that He Bao was swallowed up by the river, and Zhou Yongcheng also disappeared on the river, the corners of Fang Ling's mouth hooked up a sneer, his kindness is only to friends, only to the people, only to loyal ministers, if it is an enemy, if there is a trace of evil intentions to murder himself and his mother, then what awaits them will be the end of life, this creed has never changed, and it will never change!

Looking at the wharf that can no longer be seen in the distance, Fang Ling has a sense of relief, from the palace to the present, it is really put down, because after crossing this river, there will be no more pursuers.

When they arrived at the Wuxian wharf, Fang Ling and his party left quickly, and the warship had already been cleaned, and there was no trace of the battle at all.

As for the result after Zhou Yongcheng and He Bao disappeared, Fang Ling was not worried in his heart.

Whether it was Pingtan Pass or Qingshui Pass, the assassination of the King of Shicheng was originally a secret, and for most soldiers and generals, the martial law of Pingtan Pass was due to the search for the three murderers who had committed the massacre in the jurisdiction of Zou County.

Therefore, the deaths of Zhou Yongcheng and He Bao will eventually fall to the three murderers, and there will be no more extraneous incidents, but I am afraid that Queen Song will not expect that these three wanted murderers are Fang Ling and his party.

Entering Wuxian, you have officially entered the northern boundary, and this is also a place beyond the reach of Queen Song. However, this does not mean that things will be easy, on the contrary, it is a place with many rights and wrongs.

The high-ranking and powerful generals of the Chu State are divided into two categories, one is the first-class general who guards the periphery of the imperial city, holds heavy troops, is highly favored, and has an extraordinary status, but most of them form a faction with the important ministers of the imperial court, and the other is the general who guards the border of the four directions, they also hold heavy troops, hold their own military achievements, and form their own faction system.

Among the border generals, the highest status is the four generals, namely the northern generals, the southern generals, the eastern generals and the western generals, and the fortresses they defend are respectively the North Dome Pass, the South Dome Pass, the East Dome Pass and the West Dome Pass.

The North Dome Pass, located in the center of the northern boundary, has roads extending in all directions, and 500,000 troops are stationed, as long as the northern general gives an order, it can support the various fortress towns on the border at any time.

In addition to the heavy troops in the North Dome Pass, the fortresses on the northern border also have tens of thousands or more than 100,000 garrisons, because this northern land has been plagued by many disasters since the establishment of the Chu State, and the bandits have made "chaos".

Therefore, for a Shicheng King who has a high status but has no real power, maybe everyone will be respectful on the surface, but there are not a few who are really willing to sell it.

Because of this, Fang Ling and his party did not go to see the northern general when they passed by the North Dome Pass, and the northern general did not seem to have any news of the king of Shicheng, as in the past, but when he passed by, Fang Ling found that this fortress was more prosperous than the fortress in the interior, and the quality of the soldiers was obviously higher, and there were many veterans with sharp eyes.

On the evening of the fifth day after passing through the North Dome Pass, the group arrived at a small town called Gukou.

Gukou Town is only half a day's journey from the fiefdom, and it takes nearly 20 days to set off from the imperial city to this Gukou Town, which is 5 days more than the budget of the 15th, and this is still a fast horse along the way to calculate, if it is not for these fat and healthy war horses, it is estimated that it will take about 25 days to "touch".

However, it is this kind of distance that just makes Fang Ling feel at ease, this is the real Tiangao Emperor Yuan.
