On the second day of the Lunar New Year of the 19th year of King Hui of Chu, Lu Qikun and 3,000 Yunhe rode out of Chu Wangji and entered Shou County, the second largest county in the Daochu Kingdom. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 After a short break in Chen, the westernmost part of Shou County, Info headed east without any stops.

Although there are no obstacles along the way, the weather also makes it difficult to move forward, even the legendary cloud crane ride, which has a record of sneak attacks in a day, but also lives up to its reputation in the cold of heavy snowfall.

After three days of difficult progress, Lu Qikun and others finally came to Shouchun, the county town of Shou County.

Shouchun is the county seat of Shou County, and it is also the most important strategic place of Chu State, a barrier to protect the Yingdu of Chu State, and also the frontier of Xu and Chu's struggle for hegemony. During the reign of King Wen of Chu, the development of the Chu State to the east led to a military conflict with the Xu State, making the still barren Shouchun a battlefield.

In the early days of King Chuzhuang, it reached its peak, and the three major battles of the Battle of Shouchun, the Battle of Xiyao, and the Battle of Shoushui laid the hegemony in the heart of King Chuzhuang, and also made the powerful Xu State decline for a hundred years.

Lu Qikun rode the white dragon and watched the gradual Shouchun, with infinite sighs and pride in his heart.

The magnificent city in the distance stood in the setting sun, and the snow fell to cover the walls of Shouchun, but it could not bury the history on the walls, and the blood that had long since dried up and turned black.

Lu Qikun couldn't help muttering, "Thousands of miles of splendid rivers and mountains are not as good as a city in Shouchun"

Immediately, Lu Qikun and three thousand cloud cranes rode to the gate of Shouchun City, and the officials of Shouchun were already waiting here, the first of which was the governor of Shoujun and the third son of the king of Chu, Gongzichun, and beside Gongzichun was the official Qing clan of Shouchun.

Lu Qikun rode on the white dragon to look at Gongzichun, and did not salute because the other party was the governor of Shou County and the identity of Gongzi, which was extremely rude in the eyes of many people, especially Lu Qikun's indifferent eyes, which made the two Qing clan elders beside Gongzichun look unhappy.

"Just a general, why don't you salute the governor" and the young official said sharply, obviously deliberately to curry favor with Gongzi Chun.

Lu Qikun suddenly looked at the young official, his eyes were cold like a terrible sword, which made the young official frightened and frightened, but thinking that Gongzichun couldn't be so embarrassed in front of him, the young official suddenly mustered up his courage and continued to say sharply to Lu Qikun, "So rude, have you ever thought about the consequences?"

Lu Qikun didn't answer the young official's words, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised to reveal a smile, looking at Gongzi Chun, who was as steady as Mount Tai.

Gongzichun took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "The clerk Pu Song is guilty of the following crimes, and Chu Lu should resign from the post of clerk and never be hired, thinking of Pu Song's meritorious service and Shoujun, the governor **** has been teaching in Shouchun Township School for three years"

In an instant, the city gate official looked at Gongzichun, and the outrageous Pu Song also looked at Gongzichun in disbelief, and then seemed to think of something, and suddenly the whole person was like a mourner, saluted Gongzichun, staggered away from the city gate, and disappeared into the streets of Shouchun.

Compared with the stunned and incomprehensible of the young officials, several old men who had been precipitating officialdom for a long time figured out the intention in an instant, obviously the young military officer in front of him had an extraordinary history, even if he was the son of King Chu, the governor of Shou County, he did not dare to offend the military general in front of him.

"The army generals, please, have prepared food and wine for the generals and soldiers." Gongzichun smiled, not uncomfortable because of what happened to the young official just now.

Lu Qikun turned over and dismounted and said with a smile, "Your Excellency the Governor, the Eastern Times is urgent, I can't wait to stay in Shouchun, I just need the Governor to prepare six days of rations and feed the war horses."

Although it has snowed heavily since Chinese New Year's Eve, the war in the Xu Kingdom cannot be delayed. After Lu Qikun entered Shou County, the Night Owl Army sent the situation of the Xu State, as well as the detailed information of the Rong tribe's sneak attack on Niuxiakou.

And what worried and even frightened Lu Qikun the most was that the ten powerhouses of the Rong Clan's Sacred Realm borrowed the power of the Great Snow Mountain at the cost of their lives, thus causing the death of 50,000 elite soldiers of the Wei State, leaving nothing alive, and even dozens of cultivators among them.

Gongzichun nodded and didn't say anything, obviously as the governor of Shou County, there are some things, under the intentional blockade of Chu and Wei, Gongzichun still knows clearly, especially the secret transmission of the night owl army, so that Gongzichun also knows that the eastern battlefield is urgent.

"Come on, prepare six days' rations for all the soldiers, and bring the finest grain and grass for the war horses to enjoy," Gongzichun commanded.

In an instant, the quiet Shouchun became busy, and Lu Qikun, under the leadership of Gongzichun, came to a palace in Shouchun City.

The two walked through the humble temple door, through the withered and barren front porch, to a palace in disrepair. This is the palace built by Xu Chu for hegemony, which was originally used as the dormitory of the king of Chu, but now it is just an abandoned palace.

It's just that few people know that this abandoned palace is actually the stronghold of the military in Shougun.

Compared with the disrepair outside the palace, the palace presents a different scene. Four red pillars carved with phoenixes support the palace like a mountain. Dozens of shelves are displayed in the hall, and various books are placed on the shelves. In the center of the main hall, a large square table is placed. On it is a map of Shou County and Xu Guolan County, which is filled with chess pieces of three different colors.

"Uncle Xiang" Gongzi Chun saluted to the middle-aged man in front of the table.

Lu Qikun's eyes also fell on the middle-aged man, and he couldn't help but be surprised by the identity of the other party, since he could let the governor of a county salute, and from the title, the other party came out of the Xiang clan of the Chu State General.

The middle-aged man nodded to Gongzichun, and then looked at Lu Qikun on the side.

Lu Qikun suddenly felt a pressure, but he still said politely, "Three thousand generals Lu Qikun"

"Xiang Mou" Xiang Mou smiled, "I didn't expect the king to appoint you to lead the legend of my Chu State"

Although Xiang Mou was laughing, he was full of disdain, obviously looking down on the young Lu Qikun.

Lu Qikun looked at Xiang Mou in surprise, but he didn't expect that since he was here, he would see the famous generals of the Chu State at that time. As the generals of the Chu State, the Xiang clan has appeared countless generals since the ancestor Xiang Yan, and its reputation in the military of the Chu State is unmatched. And Xiang Mou sat in the son of the Xiang clan, and he was also a famous man, and he established the title of a famous general of the Chu State at a young age.

And Xiang Mou's most famous battle is twenty years ago, when King Chu Hui had just ascended to the throne of the king of Chu, Wei supported Chu and sent 50,000 troops to the frontier, but Xiang Mou won a big victory with an army of 10,000, so that his reputation in Chu was soaring.

Although Lu Qikun admired this famous general of the Chu State, he just sneered in the face of Xiang Mou's disdain, and couldn't help but say, "I admire General Xiang Mou below, but it is difficult to compare with below."

Xiang Mou suddenly sneered, "The little doll has a big tone. ”

In an instant, the aura of the fate realm exploded, like an incomparably sharp sword, coming towards Lu Qikun.

Lu Qikun still looked at Xiang Mou with a smile, and the aura of knowing the fate realm like a sharp sword made Lu Qikun not waver at all, not even his body at all.

Xiang Mou looked surprised, obviously he didn't expect it, Lu Qikun was so young, since he had also reached the realm of knowing his fate, he couldn't help but say, "I can't imagine that the achievements of young people nowadays are so high, but the role of cultivation in the battlefield is only one-tenth."

Lu Qikun responded with a smile: "How does General Xiang know how capable I am on the battlefield?"

"I admit that you may have received a sophisticated military education as a student of the Martial Academy, but just talking on paper cannot determine your ability on the battlefield after all," Xiang Mou smiled.

Xiang Mou's words suddenly made everyone in the hall look sideways, and even Gongzi Chun looked at Lu Qikun in surprise. The status of the Three Courtyards in the hearts of the Chu people is very high, and this palace now belongs to the stronghold of the military, and the officials who walk in it are all martial artists, and Lu Qikun, who was born in the Martial Academy, naturally makes them all worship.

Lu Qikun came to the map, put his hands on the table and looked directly at Xiang Mou, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and said, "General, then we will wait and see"
