Chapter 69: Be the enemy of 10,000 people

The battle-hardened captain of the battle, although he really wants to teach this young man who doesn't know the height of the sky in front of His Royal Highness the prince. But he finally put up with it. After waving his hand to stop his similarly disgruntled comrades, he only said a word to Murong Licheng.

"If possible, I would love to have a chance to see your skills in the Nine Elements Mountain!" The words are sharp and the face is not good.

Murong Licheng neither smiled nor changed his face. He just replied bluntly: "Maybe there should be a chance!"

And this attitude of his, in the eyes of Captain Wu and many dragoon sergeants, is naturally a sign of timidity. Everyone glanced at each other, after all, they wanted to give Chu Jiangmian some face. He didn't think much of himself, and he didn't go any further. And at this moment, of course, they won't be able to know in advance, and they don't need to wait too long, everyone will really see how powerful this young man is. He said that since there is a chance, there will be a chance!

Not long after, several generals of the Dragoon Army who came to the Nine Elements Mountain in advance finally came to meet their Royal Highness the prince. The strength of more than 8,000 dragoons gathered around the hunting grounds. If you add the 2,000 cavalry that General Long Yu personally led to protect King Zhao tomorrow, these more than 10,000 men and horses are already the last force left behind in Dragon City.

At the same time, there were also officials from the royal court. They each have their own duties and tasks, but they don't have the time to accompany His Royal Highness the Prince to delay his work here. Immediately parted ways to prepare for tomorrow's rituals and all kinds of trivial things.

On the high platform within the hunting ground, there are several palaces. It doesn't look luxurious, it's just a place for the rest of the team. King Zhao has always advocated frugality, which is something that all the people of Zhao know about, and no one finds it strange.

Standing on the high place of the platform, overlooking the mountains and rivers at your feet, as well as the reckless ancient trees and jungles, the dragon city in the distance is in sight. There are also longitudinal and horizontal, plains and fertile fields, and busy people...... Chu Jiangmian couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his chest. It was only when he stood at this height that he really felt the chill on his face and the weight on his back.

The pine waves are like anger, and the mountains and rivers are like gathering. If he takes over this burden from tomorrow, he doesn't know if he will be able to do as well as his father. He didn't know where the future Zhao State would go under his leadership.

He stood silently on the top of the hill until the sun was setting in the west, and the twilight was blank. The people who have been following him are Bai Ye and Murong Licheng.

After inquiring about everything and arranging everything, Chu Jiangmian did not stay in Jiuxing Mountain, but returned to Dragon City overnight. King Zhao had originally told him not to come back. But he came back anyway. Because he had a strong premonition that, perhaps, the countdown to the time of companionship had been left...... He didn't want to leave any regrets.

"We must strengthen the vigilance of the entire Nine Elements Mountain. I think...... It's not going to be peaceful in this mountain. ”

These were the words he had left for all the Dragoon generals before he left. Everyone bowed their heads, but they didn't think so. If anyone really dares to make trouble in the place where the Dragoons are stationed, they must be impatient!

The horse's hooves shattered the night, and when Chu Jiangmian re-entered Dragon City with only Bai Ye and Xiao Li, he found that the lights of many people's homes were not extinguished. Those sparkling lights illuminate the city of darkness. Walking along the street, you can occasionally hear the sound of a voice coming from the courtyard next to it. When he heard two or three of them, Chu Jiangmian reined in his war horse and walked a little slower.

"you, just prepare this...... You don't have to bring too many things. Jiuxing Mountain, it's not like I haven't been there. ”

"Of course you have to bring it! It's all for food here, and there's what you want. We've been there before, but this time it's different...... Dad, maybe we'll have a chance to be seen by the king. I'm thinking about asking the king to give our children a name...... ”

"Yes, it would be nice to be able to see the king. I haven't seen him since he came back from that year, and I had seen him from afar outside the North City Gate. I don't know what the king has become now? If it's really as rumored to be...... Alas! ”

"How can the king be old? Didn't you say last time that he rode straight into the city gates, and was as majestic as he was when he was younger? ”

"Alas...... I hope so! By the way, did you find the knife for me? ”

"Swords, bows and arrows have been kept in good condition. Don't worry, I've got it all together. ”

"Hmm. That's good. You can't lose these treasures! They were all given by the King's own permission, so that we could use them to protect our homes when necessary. After so many years, it has never been useful...... I hope I won't need them this time. ”

"Daddy, don't scare me...... It shouldn't be that serious, right? ”

"Who knows! This time is more than usual. It is said that the five strongest vassal states in the world have united to attack our Zhao Kingdom! The army stationed in Dragon City has already been dispatched. ”

"But there's nothing to be afraid of, right? The Hu people in the north are so powerful, they are not beaten by the king's army every time. Don't...... Are they more powerful than the Hu people? ”

"Alas! It's not like that. You women don't know about these wars...... All in all, the key this time is still on the king! If his body is still safe and sound, naturally everything does not have to worry. No matter how powerful the enemy is, he is defeated in front of the king, and he can't take advantage of it. ”

"The king's body...... Is it really bad already? ”

"I don't know! The big guys are always more worried when they talk about it...... you, go and put incense on the king again! Bless him with good health, and let God lend him more time for the old man! ”

"You still have to say it! For more than half a year, every household in Longcheng has set up incense cases, and three incense sticks are prayed every day, never daring to stop. How can our family be an exception? May God bless the king...... Woooooo ”

Finally, the low sobbing voice that I couldn't hold back was full of boundless worry. The night was darker, and there were no stars and moonlight in the sky above Dragon City, and it seemed to be shrouded in heavy black clouds. Along the way, the same thing happened in many lighted streets, houses, and mansions...... Dragon City tonight is destined to be sleepless.

Even a hard-hearted man like Bai Ye couldn't help but be moved. He and the silent Xiaoli glanced at each other, and couldn't help but feel excited. It turns out that only when you really enter Dragon City will you know that King Zhao's legacy among the people is so thick!

It was not a long street on weekdays, but Chu Jiangmian felt that it was a long walk tonight. He kept his horse walking very slowly, as if he was afraid of disturbing those pious prayers, and as if he was afraid of waking up the sleeping dreams of Dragon City. In the lights on, although he couldn't see the look on his face clearly, Bai Ye and Xiaoli could feel his mood.

"No matter how critical the situation is, Dragon City ...... I will never let any enemies in! ”

At the gate of Jinxiang Palace, Chu Jiangmian, who jumped off the war horse, gently spit out this sentence to the city he walked by. This is not only his promise, but also his vow. When the soldiers come to the city soon, he will use his blood and blade to fulfill what he said!

"White Night is willing to follow the prince to the death! Although I went to the soup and went to the fire, I will never give up! ”

Bai Ye solemnly gave another salute. Having personally seen the army of the Great Qin Tiger and Wolf, he knew better than anyone that the Zhao State would face a fierce battle that had never been fought before. It is very likely that those concerns of the people will become a reality. When the enemy's troops entered the territory of Zhao from all directions, a decisive battle was inevitable.

But Murong Licheng didn't say any more generous words. He just held the sword that Chu Jiangmian had given him in the Peach Blossom Valley of Zhongyue Mountain, and said lightly.

"Brother Mian, I'm going to be a general tomorrow!"

Chu Jiangmian looked at the two of them calmly. His eyes sparkled in the light of the palace gate. I really didn't see the wrong person. Only fire can be trained into a peerless sword, and only a fierce war can achieve an invincible general! I will do my best to create a broad stage for them. The magnificent journey, from now on, and yourself to open up!

"In that case, of course I will not disappoint you. War is coming...... White night, Xiaoli, let's not rush back to the palace first. Walk! Let's go to another place first. ”

Both of them were slightly stunned, not knowing where Chu Jiangmian was going to take them. They didn't ask much, though. Following him together, they turned out of the south gate of Jinxiang Palace again, and walked in the direction of the east.

After walking a short distance, turn into a side alley. The vicinity was gradually guarded by armored sergeants, and gradually became heavily guarded. Chu Jiangmian walked in front, but he didn't say much. All the way inside, he just showed a gold medal engraved with a badge, and walked unhindered until he reached the large compound at the end of the alley. Although there was no handwriting on the sign at the door, as soon as he walked in, Bai Ye immediately understood what it was. Sure enough, then they heard Chu Jiangmian say casually.

"This place is the main weapon casting place in Dragon City...... Hehe! I brought you here so that you could choose a few handy weapons for yourselves. ”

"Brother Mian, I already have the sword you sent? It's enough to kill the enemy. ”

Licheng raised the sword in his hand. Although this sword is far less sharp than that of a general, it can be regarded as extremely valuable. He has always cherished it. Unexpectedly, Chu Jiangmian shook his head and said to him.

"If you want to become a peerless general, you must be brave and invincible. Where can only a long sword work? You need to have the weapons of 10,000 enemies to be worthy of your divine power! ”
