Chu Jiangmian's actions were very fast. Just over an hour later, all the aftermath of King Zhao had been arranged, and everyone inside and outside the country had all tied up black yarns and rode out of the mountain, and the news of King Zhao's death was officially announced to the world. The team is about to leave, and the rest of the things will naturally be talked about after returning to Dragon City.

When the entire Nine Elements Mountain was immersed in sadness, some contradictions that were about to erupt were temporarily suppressed. Although many people know in their hearts that these contradictions may not necessarily appear in a more intense way at any time, it is extremely rare to be able to obtain temporary stability under the current situation of internal and external troubles.

In the Nine Elements Mountain Palace, all the original guards and attendants of King Chu Lie of Zhao were looking at His Royal Highness the silent prince with great concern in addition to grief, not knowing how to help or comfort him. From the death of King Zhao to the present, they watched Chu Jiangmian calmly scrub the king's body, put on the king's clothes for him, and then buried him in the coffin with his own hands. During the whole process, he did not shed another tear.

"Brother Jiang Mian...... Woooooo ”

Jiang Xue'er, who had already cried into tears, had never experienced such a scene, and she had never seen her brother, who had always been sunny and happy, with such a terrible face as now. And she, unable to do anything, could only stay by his side and weep as she watched their father's coffin.

"Don't cry, Cher. Be careful of disturbing my father's ....... ”

The pair of armor that Chu Jiangmian was holding in his hand had been wiped countless times. He didn't want a little bit of blood on it, so he wiped them clean and placed them in the corner of the coffin. If there are countless demons and monsters blocking the way on the Huangquan Road, it will protect my father all the way!

One last glance at the face that passed away peacefully. Chu Jiangmian took a deep breath and closed the heavy lid of the coffin with his own hands. The moment he lowered his head, tears almost burst into his eyes, but he finally bit his lip and held back.

Someone on the other side sighed and walked over softly to wipe the blood from the back of his hand for him. This coffin was made by his own hands with a knife and axe, little by little. The hands are already scarred, but the blood on the hands has been wiped away, and the scars in the bottom of the heart, what can be used to soothe them?

"You...... Don't be too sad. You can't stay in the land of right and wrong for a long time, and you can only return to Dragon City early to avoid unexpected trouble. ”

Murong Qiancheng had never spoken to anyone in such a gentle tone. Through the man's calm eyes, she could clearly see that his heart was bleeding. I don't know why, she actually felt the same way, and her heart wrenched inexplicably.

"Well, I know, I'm going to leave soon. Qiancheng, before entering Dragon City, you take good care of Xue'er and don't leave my side. ”

Murong Qiancheng understood the meaning in his tone, and glanced at him in surprise, but he didn't ask any more, just picked up Jiang Xue'er, who was in tears, and nodded solemnly. Ever since she had experienced the cruel night of blood and fire in the Yan Kingdom, she had been mentally prepared for any sudden changes.

Chu Jiangmian stood up, and all the guards in the palace stood together with their swords and stood in front of him. They were all King Zhao's most loyal personal attendants. King Zhao died, and his heart was like ashes. It's just that before the mission is completed, their lives can't die.

"Let's go! We protect the king back to Dragon City. All please! ”

Chu Jiangmian bowed. Nearly 100 guards and attendants all fell to their knees, weeping tears like blood, and generous sorrow.

"I want to die for the king! Protect the first king back to Dragon City! ”

The gates of the palace finally opened. Chu Jiangmian, who was holding the coffin, was dressed in heavy filial piety and came out first. There were loud voices of sorrow from far and near, and they fell to the ground, and many people wept until they fainted.

A group of five hundred dragoons was waiting not far away, their armor tied with black veils. They were ordered to stay behind and escort Wang Ling on his return journey.

A double-wheeled carriage carrying the coffin of King Zhao left the palace with a white flag and began to head out of the mountain. More than 100 guards were clustered around the area. On the carriage, Chu Jiangmian sat at the front, looking at the green mountains on both sides, the mountains and forests were vast, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Immediately behind a few carriages, everyone led by Minister Fei Yi walked on foot in the direction of the mountain pass. And at the front, it was the five hundred dragoons who took the lead in opening the road, the horses' hooves sounded on the mountain road, the clouds overhead were surging, the pine waves were like anger, and the mountains were full of sorrow.

And Wu Sheng, the dragoon captain who was behind the team, was now very hesitant in his heart. He looked up at the long line walking on the mountain path, and he couldn't understand why things had suddenly come to this point.

How could the king suddenly die like this!? Until now, he has not been willing to believe this fact. But when he saw the dazzling white in front of him, he had to force himself to believe that the king who had led them on the battlefield was indeed dead.

The cavalry squad that Captain Wu Sheng originally led caused some casualties because of the impact of those fierce beasts yesterday. Those who were injured had all been escorted back to the Wanshan Camp, where the Dragoons were located, last night, and they all needed to be treated in a timely manner, and there was no delay. And the remaining dozens of people, under his leadership, continued to stay in the palace, and did not move with most of the dragoons. And when King Zhao's coffin began to set off, they followed behind and guarded it.

Although Wu Sheng was only a lieutenant colonel, he was also very aware of the dangerous situation that Zhao Guo would face next, so in addition to grief, he was very uneasy in his heart. His Royal Highness the prince was still very good at saying it, if there was a huge civil strife because of his succession to the throne, he didn't know how chaotic Dragon City would be. And he didn't know if Chu Jiangmian was capable of coping with this first round of challenges.

The distance out of the Nine Elements Mountain is about more than ten miles, and Wu Sheng, who was thinking wildly, suddenly heard someone next to him whispering to him. When he looked back, he was one of his knights. Sensing the abnormality on the other party's face, he was slightly stunned and asked casually.

"What's the matter?"

"Captain, I don't feel quite right!"

"What...... What's not quite right? ”

Captain Wu Sheng came back to his senses, he hurriedly glanced around, the mountains were calm, and the walking team was also very orderly, but he didn't find anything abnormal.

"It's the dragoons in front...... Captain, how do I feel that they are all strange faces, I have never seen them before! ”

Wu Sheng was taken aback. The knight he spoke to was a battle-hardened veteran, and he would never be so alert for no reason.

"Are you sure?!"

"I was suspicious when I came down the mountain. The general who led them was very young, and there was no such one in our dragoons. It's just that they are fully armoured and cover their faces with visors, and I'm not sure...... Just now, a few brothers and I went around to the front and quietly looked at it again, and it was very strange that none of the more than 500 cavalry knew each other! It's too weird. ”

When Captain Wu Sheng heard this, he immediately realized what was extraordinary. He didn't care to say more, and immediately ordered.

"Hurry up and order the brothers to put on their armor and prepare for battle! You protect the people in the back, and I'll go up to see what is going on. ”

Hearing the captain's order, the dozens of horsemen under his command immediately put on their battle armor and drew their swords. These people have a lot of combat experience, they are all people who have been born and died, and once they realize that something is wrong, they will definitely not be negligent.

Captain Wu Sheng urged the horse to start rushing forward from the side mountain road. However, before the matter was confirmed, he did not dare to speak out, lest it cause chaos, and if it was a misunderstanding, it would not be good.

"Boy! Where are the horses going? ”

He didn't go far when he was in a hurry. Someone asked in a low voice next to him. Wu Sheng glanced sideways, but it was his father Wu Shang and the veterans of the reserve battalion. Everyone's eyes were red from crying, and they were walking in the middle of the line.

"Father, uncles...... Big things are not good! ”

Wu Sheng didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly got closer and told them his guess in a low voice. Wu Shang's eyes widened at that time, and he held his knife in one arm.

"Boy! Hurry up and tell Prince Jiang Mian and the Prime Minister about this matter first. Whether it's true or not, there must be no mistakes in the king's coffin! The affairs of the team behind this can be handled by us old guys, so you can rest assured. ”

The old man is hot-blooded and never cold. Although there were only a few dozen people here, risking their lives was enough to withstand the attack of thousands of enemies.

Wu Sheng responded angrily, drew his sword and rode away. The mountain wind was blowing, and he only felt that the blood in his chest began to boil, if he was really destined to fight, he would repay the king with the knife in his hand!

So, half an hour later, Chu Jiangmian, who was sitting next to the coachman, heard the urgent news brought by the captain. To his surprise, he didn't see any panicked look on the face of His Royal Highness the former Prince. He just raised his head, looked at the situation of the mountains and rivers in front of him, and then only asked lightly.

"Captain Wu, how far is it from the mountain pass?"

"It's about five or six miles away...... Now, please give the order of Your Highness to turn the horse's head and go back! At the mouth of the dangerous gourd ahead, I'm afraid something unexpected will happen! ”

Captain Wu Sheng looked at the traces of the cavalry in the smoke and dust not far away, and the knife in his hand involuntarily broke out in a cold sweat. He had already gone to the front to take a look at it just now, and he recognized at a glance that those who were in the same armor and equipment as the dragoons were definitely not from the dragoons of the Wanshan battalion!

"It's too late to turn back now...... What's more, I didn't intend to dodge in the first place! Captain Wu, at the turn of the last mountain road in front of you, it will be the battlefield of the decisive battle of life and death. Are you afraid? ”

Chu Jiangmian looked at him calmly, and the light in his eyes was breathtaking. Captain Wu Sheng's heart was shocked.

"Could it be...... Did he already know something was going to happen? ”
