In the middle of the night, the east gate of Dingyuan City, Zhendong County, was opened. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info A sergeant lit a torch on the city wall, and the huge light of the fire was like a lighthouse, which was clearly visible from thousands of meters away. There were many sergeants lined up outside the city, waiting for something.

This is a very abnormal move for the current Dingyuan City. It immediately attracted the attention of countless people in the shadows. In a private house near the east city gate, two warriors were closely watching the movement at the city gate.

One of them said: "Now that the curfew is in place, these sergeants have opened the gates and lit torches. It should be waiting for someone, and it is an extremely noble person. ”

The other person was silent for a moment, and responded: "Half a month ago, Shenwu Hou led his troops to take over Dingyuan City, and in one day, he killed countless officials, families, and many generals of the border army. Then he ordered Dingyuan City to only enter and not leave, and imposed a curfew. It has been half a month since the ban has not been lifted. Today, the city gate is opened in the middle of the night, who will come? Let the Shenwu Marquis light the torch and guide the way. ”

"Don't guess, what I'm most concerned about now is when the ban will be lifted. and tomorrow's martial arts finals in Dingzhou. ”

"The martial arts association is not from Dingzhou, it is the martial arts association of Zhendong County. Pingdong and Zhengdong County, no one participated at all, and there was chaos over there now. ”

"Yes, the martial arts meeting in this county has been postponed for a long time, and it's annoying to wait."

The ground dragon horse under him crossed the mountains and mountains, and the speed was extremely fast. Let the cloak behind Yu Canghai's armor hunt and flutter in the wind like a flag.

Behind him, followed by Lei Meng, Yu Taiping, Yun Nalan and others, surrounded by more than 100 Jinwu guards. The group of people with bright clothes and armor swept through the bright moon, strong winds, and desolate mountains and forests, bringing up smoke and dust all the way. After marching in the middle of the night, Yu Canghai rushed to Dingyuan City.

"I've seen Your Highness." At the gate of the city, a group of 100 sergeants lined up to welcome them. Such etiquette is a reminder from Shenwu Hou, which means that his career as a general has come to an end for the time being.

The leader of the general saluted and said, "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, Your Royal Highness the Thirteenth Prince, the marquis is waiting for you in the military camp." ”

"Lead the way." Yu Canghai nodded.

In the barracks, Yu Canghai and Shenwu Hou Gao Changgong met, and there was no politeness.

Gao Changgong said directly: "The mercenaries played a very good role in the cleaning mission. This is a new system, and I personally think that it can be studied. In the future, mercenaries should have a lot to offer. ”

Yu Canghai said with a smile: "This is not what I created, local forces have long used civilian warriors." I read that some rebels also used a lot of civilian warriors in the early days. I just added a few things and changed the look. To say that there is a lot to be done, but not necessarily. What does Hou Ye think? ”

Gao Changgong nodded and said, "On the real battlefield, there is no need for mercenaries. In front of the regular army, they are vulnerable. Ten times and twenty times are also useless. ”

Yu Canghai nodded, this is a fact, the two big battles in Anyang Town, the results have been fully explained. Two hundred against four hundred outside the town, more than ten people were killed on Yu Canghai's side, and the opposite side was completely annihilated. There were more than 1,000 against 2,300 people in the town, and more than 40 were killed on Yu Canghai's side, and the opposite side was completely annihilated. The army in the individual force, equipment, battle formations, coordination, unity, discipline, execution. Explode civilian warriors from all sides.

Gao Changgong said again: "Although the army is elite, it is too small, and the army of the Yu Dynasty is only more than four million on the surface, plus the others, it will be five million." There are hundreds of millions of civilian warriors, but there is a problem with civilian warriors, they don't listen to commands, and if they want to mobilize them, it may not be useful to use knives to force them. If civilians can be used by the country, not to mention the unification of the continent, it will be easy to destroy Liang. Although this mercenary cannot go to the battlefield, he can do a lot in other places, at least to alleviate the problem of insufficient manpower in the army. ”

Yu Canghai shook his head and said, "The cleaning task is only half a month. The number of mercenaries mobilized was only thirty or forty thousand, but the cost was more than 100 million. It's still because of the confusion, they have demand, which leads to cheap prices. In normal times, this price is only afraid to be several times higher. No matter how rich the country is, how many people can it support. ”

Gao Changgong smiled: "Also, the cost is a big problem. It can't be solved, and nothing is said. Let's not talk about this matter, let's talk about the itinerary later. ”

"I want to hear about it."

"Early tomorrow morning, the final of the Dingzhou Martial Arts Association. Samurai, Martial Master, and Great Martial Master are three stages of competition, and there are ten people in one stage, and the ranking can be determined. It won't be long. A banquet was held at noon to present the awards. There are also events that require His Highness to be present. In the evening, His Royal Highness returned to Yuanjing to participate in the Great Dynasty Meeting of the Day after tomorrow. ”

Yu Canghai said with a smile: "If the speed of my dragon horse is ten times faster, it will be able to catch up with the court." ”

Gao Chang knew what he meant, and said, "Your Highness flew back." The details will be known tomorrow. ”

Yu Canghai and Gao Changgong chatted about some more specific details, and then returned to their residence, because it was only one night, and he lived in the barracks.

In the bedroom, Yu Canghai only had half an hour to refine weapons, practice, practice martial arts, and go through the process. Yu Canghai woke up Qingyu and Yun Nalan.

"Change my clothes."

To participate in the grand event today, the sergeant has long been ready for everything. Qingyu went out, and a sergeant brought a large wooden barrel in a moment, then poured hot water, sprinkled with cleansing medicine, and put in colorful petals, which have a fragrance, and after taking a bath, the body will also be filled with fragrance.

Yu Canghai took off his clothes and stepped into the barrel, while Qingyu and Yun Nalan served on the side.

Yu Canghai suddenly said: "You will also change your clothes and dress up in a while, and accompany me to participate in the martial arts meeting." In that case, let's come in together. ”

"No." The two women blushed, untied their shirts, and stepped into the barrel shyly. The barrel could hold two people, but the three of them became crowded, and the bodies of all three were pressed together. Yu Canghai didn't care about their shyness, and enjoyed it with his eyes closed.

After bathing, the two women put on exquisite, luxurious, and solemn dresses for Yu Canghai, tied jade belts, hung jade pendants, put on brocade boots, and brought high crowns.

After Yu Canghai finished dressing, he burned incense and meditated. These are rituals and have little effect. It's just because he's a prince that he has to follow the rules. When the two girls also finished dressing up, Yu Canghai went out.

The leading sergeant outside the door had been waiting for a long time, and took Yu Canghai to the barracks to gather. Shenwu Hou Gao Changgong, champion general Di Qing, and all the generals are here.

As soon as Yu Canghai arrived, Shenwu Hou brought a few officials to pay a visit.

"Dingzhou Assassin Shi Cheng Jinghui has seen His Royal Highness."

"Governor Dingshi has seen His Highness."

"The county guard of Zhendong County has seen His Highness."

"The city lord of Dingyuan City has seen His Highness."

Thorn, check the meaning of questioning. The assassin patrolled the county and was the supreme chief of the state department, and Changshi was his deputy. The county warden is the supreme magistrate of the county.

Dingyuan City is now the core of Dingzhou, where the assassin history, the county guard, and the city lord are all here. Yu Canghai, as the prince, came to visit them as they should be.

"I've seen you." Yu Canghai didn't have a stand, and greeted them one by one. These are all feudal officials, especially the assassin Shi, who is a second-rank official and a marquis. To put it more clearly, it is the princes. The Yu Dynasty has seven states, and the assassin can control a continent, which shows that it is high and powerful.

After waiting for a while, I saw that Yu Taiping was late. She had a rare dress up today, and she saw her wearing a red plate of gold embroidery and wearing a peony embroidered Xia curtain, holding a blue Xia Luo peony mist veil, eyebrows like green feathers, waist like a bundle, dotted and curly lips enchanting and dignified, bright and glamorous.

She was already captivating the country and the city, and she was dressed like a fairy, and she was really like a fairy descending to earth, and her eyes were bright when she saw Yu Canghai. He took the initiative to meet him and naturally stretched out his hand. Yu Taiping glanced at him with a smile, showing the demeanor of a queen. Like a phoenix that has always been proud, she elegantly raised her soft wattle and put it on Yu Canghai's forearm.

"I've seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." Many officials came to pay their respects again.

"No courtesy." Yu Taiping bowed his head.

When Yu Taiping arrived, everyone was ready. On the school field, there was a gorgeous carriage, Yu Canghai helped Yu Taiping into the carriage, and Qingyu, Jasper, and Yun Nalan also followed. Raymond and Wenjing were guarding on both sides of the carriage, surrounded by Yu Canghai's personal guards.

On the side, there were nearly a thousand knights, who guarded a group of generals and officials such as Shenwu Hou. The group set off and went to the central square of Dingyuan City to participate in the martial arts meeting.
