Chapter 53: Innate Divine Power
Li Luo reclined on the side of the carriage, and the terrifying armor on his body had been taken off and thrown into the carriage behind.
There seemed to be the surprise of Emperor Wanlong when he heard his words, and the ridicule and sarcasm of the royal family and several ministers of the court and the central government were still lingering in his ears, presumably his father also felt very embarrassed, Li Luo thought to himself.
Relieved, Li Luo asked Tiger Guard Ni Qing, who was catching the car, "Ni Qing, how far have you walked?" ”
Ni Qing responded, looked back, and said with a wry smile: "General, you have only walked more than thirty miles." ”
Li Luo snorted and stood up.
Since leaving Zhuocheng, the Muzhou rangers and Youzhou troops and the generals stationed outside the city and one place, plus the troops requisitioned from the surrounding states and counties, a group of more than 100,000 people, slowly marched to Xifu.
Muzhou rangers are good at riding and shooting, walking in the forefront, behind the palace of Youzhou, in addition to calling for the winter cicada, the rest of the people are not far from Li Luo, and they are walking together.
Li Luo is better, but he brought two carriages and seven personal guards, this Huaiwang Li Chengyue is not small, there are more than a dozen carriages alone, more than 100 personal guards, all of them are high-spirited horses interspersed in the middle of the army, from time to time to reprimand the passing soldiers, rectify military discipline.
Didn't go far to quarrel with the Muzhou rangers, if it wasn't for Hu Chajing hurriedly suppressed, the two sides of the horses were afraid of fighting, the Muzhou rangers were all angry, but the Huaiwang soldiers still went their own way, Li Chengyue was not restrained, thinking that he wanted to be in the army, Li Luo smiled, but did not see it.
At this time, the guards have lost the spirit when they first came out of Zhuocheng, they are a little listless, lying on the saddle panting, on the other hand, the Muzhou rangers and the Youzhou cavalry are still the same as when they first left the city, and the marching team is not scattered, compared to the personal guards of King Huai, the judgment is high.
Li Luo looked up and saw that the sun was gradually tilting, and it was past the hottest time, so he turned his head to a seven-foot-tall and extremely burly man walking next to him and asked, "Wu Ta, can you catch up?" If you are thirsty, there is water behind you. ”
Dahan looked at Li Luo, grinned, shook his head, and replied in an urn voice: "No." After saying that, he strode forward, as fast as a galloping horse, and followed closely beside Li Luo's carriage.
Li Luo looked at Wu Ta, and then glanced back at the carriage next to him, suddenly the curtain moved slightly, lifted a corner, and out of it came out a clear old man in Confucian clothes, with a few strands of long hair, saw Li Luo, bowed his head slightly, and sat next to the tiger guard who was driving the car.
Li Luo smiled in return, and turned his head to look, the walls of Zhuocheng were still visible. This expedition to the west, out of Zhuozhou, and then through Gongzhou, Quanzhou and Huluzhou, arrived at the boundary of Xifu.
Xifu is vast and sparsely populated, the population of the three states is only millions, but when it comes to the region, a state is wider than the two states of Zhongfu combined, Dizhou, Tianshui Prefecture and Shahu three states finished glyphs, Dizhou is the westernmost state of Xifu, and now the whole territory has been fully entered the hands of Xirong, and the expedition to the west makes Di Jie fortify in Tianshui Prefecture and Shahu Prefecture to resist Xirong.
However, these two states are vast, and Di Jie's army of 500,000 can only defend some border roads.
The Xirong tribe is good at fighting, and the cavalry is well-known in the Western Regions, if the army marches there are still traces to follow, but there are about 1,000 people, and it can be said that they come and go like the wind, faster than Dagan's spies.
When the army on the border got the news, the Xijon army had long since gone, and there was not a single grass left in the place where it passed, and all the young men and women and young girls were taken away and used as slaves, and if no one wanted them, they were sold to others, and there was no chance to return to Dagan until they died, and the others were all killed.
Seeing this, Di Jie retreated all the people of Dagan behind the defensive line, so that there was no one in the fifty miles again, although the number of tragic deaths every year was much less, but most of the border troops also frightened Xirong, and could only retreat in the fortress.
The Xirong cavalry entered and exited Tianshui Prefecture and Shahu as if there was no one, and even more so, there were already Xirong herdsmen grazing horses and sheep in the clear land of these two states, treating the Dagan army as nothing.
Emperor Wanlong was overjoyed when Li Luoyan said that he wanted to go to Xifu, and if he had to be sent to the royal city, Li Luo could choose to be his own personal soldier.
It's just that Li Luoyuan wanted to serve under Di Jie, and he didn't want Emperor Wanlong to belong to the post of Xifu Economic Strategy, set up an army on his own, and pacified Xifu.
After Li Luo learned about it, he thought about it again and again, did not refuse, and responded, Emperor Wanlong originally pre-enlisted an army of 200,000, and was asked by Li Luo to reduce it to an army of 100,000.
Prince Chun originally prepared three hundred personal guards, Li Luo only left four, Ni Qing and Ni Bai brothers, and the other two called Qian Yi and Zhu Zhi, all of whom were the best in the tiger guards.
The other three were Li Luo's personal guards, and one of them was the burly Han Wu Pagoda walking beside him.
Another Qing Jun old man is named Shen Xiangdong. The last person, Li Luo, originally wanted to find a person who was familiar with the customs and things of the Western Regions, and it was best to have some self-preservation power.
Emperor Wanlong invited Xiao Bai to die, and asked him to find a reliable person in Zhuocheng.
I didn't want Xiao Bai to die when I heard it, so I laughed and said that this day is beautiful, and I want to make it a matter of Li Luo's expedition to the west.
It turned out that this embattled Chu Ying'er was a person from the Great Moon Country in the Western Regions, and lived in a merchant family in the Great Moon Country when he was young. Later, the family was framed, all the clansmen were killed, and Chu Ying'er also died nine times, it happened that Xiao Bai'er traveled in the Western Regions and saved Chu Ying'er.
This person was also a famous master in the Dagan Martial Arts, and somehow he was hidden in the Western Regions, and when he saw that Chu Ying'er had good roots, he moved the idea of accepting apprentices, and immediately agreed to come down, not only taking care of him, but also teaching him everything he had learned, but then he suddenly died for some reason.
Chu Ying'er wandered in the Western Regions for several years, stabbed the enemy of the year, and then came to Dagan to find Xiao Bai's death.
Fortunately, Xiao Bai'er was famous, Chu Ying'er didn't take much effort to find it, Xiao Bai'er was also extremely surprised, and he was very embarrassed under his words, and took Chu Ying'er, Chu Ying'er's name was also after begging Xiao Bai'er to die, Xiao Bai'er gave the name to the little girl he saved that year, and later saw that Chu Ying'er was extraordinary, which coincided with Xiao Bai's death as the new head of the Nine Guards, and recruited Chu Ying'er into the Nine Guards, but since then Chu Ying'er often wears a veil, Xiao Bai'er is quite puzzled, but after all, he is a friend's disciple, so he went with her.
When he heard about Li Luo's invitation this time, Xiao Baizhu immediately remembered Chu Ying'er, but it really didn't take any effort to get there.
After hearing Xiao Bai's death, Chu Ying'er was silent for a while, and responded, Emperor Wanlong issued an edict to protect Li Luo, and this expedition to the west was one of Li Luo's seven personal guards.
Wu Ta and Shen Xiangdong, when Li Luo invited Emperor Wanlong, Emperor Wanlong was extremely surprised, these two people were not prominent people.
On the contrary, they are all death row prisoners in Dagantian Prison, and Emperor Wanlong doesn't know why Li Luo chose these two people, but he has already made it clear that in Zhuocheng, Li Luo can choose any personal guard, and then issued an order to exempt the two from capital crimes and act as Li Luo's personal guard.
Wu Ta was originally a native of the local county of Zhuozhou, born with divine powers, and relied on coolies to support his family at Suoshui Wharf.
The year before last, he took his parents and two younger sisters to the south of Zhuocheng City, but as soon as he arrived in Zhuocheng, he was involved in the murder case, killing three government officials and thirteen innocent people, including Wuta's two younger sisters.
It is also rare to have such a horrific tragedy in Zhuocheng, Zhuo Chen's Mansion Yin Lei was resolute, and it was rare to quickly solve the case, arrest the murderer Wu Ta, and post a notice in the afternoon of the same day, announcing Wu Ta's guilt.
Yandao Wuta has been tyrannical since he was a child, and his mind is often in a trance, because of trivial matters, he became murderous, and killed his two sisters and three officials who rushed to dissuade him, and then killed eleven innocent passers-by who did not know him, and the crime was unforgivable, and he was sentenced to be beheaded after three days.
Wu Ta had just moved to Zhuocheng, he had no relatives, his parents were old, and they were stimulated, they were all crazy, and their whereabouts were unknown, so no one went to sue again.
Li Luo also heard about it at that time, and also inquired a little about the beginning and end of the murder, these eleven innocent passers-by were quite strange, there were people from the west of the city and people from the east of the city, and they didn't know why they ran to the poorest place in the south of the city where Wu Ta lived.
The case was concluded in a hurry, and the person who was killed by manslaughter was also a one-time pass, which was quite strange, but Li Luo had no intention of this, so it was over, and he only knew it when he drank with Cheng Ziyao, the son of Fu Yin, three days later, and it turned out that the case made Taishi Yu Chengyun suppressed.
On the same day, Emperor Wanlong selected Li Luo's personal guards, Li Luo suddenly remembered Wu Ta, and then under the investigation, Wu Ta has been locked up in the prison, and the master is merciful, leaving Wu Ta for his own use, but this case is too shocking, Yu Chengyun did not dare to release Wu Ta immediately that day, and put him in prison, and ordered someone to teach Wu Ta the inner martial arts and martial arts, so that he can use it in the future.
Unexpectedly, Yu Chengyun's plot was revealed, and he became a prisoner of the subordinates, and he cheapened Li Luo in vain.
