On the day of October 20th, the scorching sun was shining at noon, and two hundred Yulin riders stood quietly on the official road outside the city, and in the middle of them was an incense case, and on one side of the incense case was Ji Qingchen, the prince of the Nine Emperors, who was wearing a black python robe and a sword at his waist, and Chen Yan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Ye Qingchen, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, and some officials of the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple.

Today, they led the officials of the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple out of the city to welcome the envoys of Lingnan, Xishu and Donghuang.

This was the idea of Chen Yan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who said that in order to embody the hospitality of the Heavenly Empire, it was necessary to go out of the city to greet each other in order to express Dayan's friendship with foreign countries.

It's just that when the three of them didn't expect it, as soon as they left the city, they received an urgent report from the fast horse in front of them, saying that the Eastern Wilderness Mission was less than ten miles away from King's Landing, and the Xishu Mission had already arrived at the Bianqiao Ferry, and the Lingnan Mission was only twenty miles away from King's Landing. Moreover, the urgent report also said that there were 600 iron swords in the Eastern Wilderness Mission, 800 elite pikemen in the Western Shu Mission, and there was a thousand elite Baiyan Clan soldiers in the Lingnan Mission. The back soldiers are the elite of the Baiyan clan, and it was with this elite army that Bai Zhixing, the patriarch of the Baiyan clan, ended the chaotic situation of the eight southern Xinjiang Yi tribes and formed the current alliance.

Since the Three Kingdoms sent an envoy to Dayan, as soon as the Three Kingdoms mission arrived in Dayan, the states and counties of Dayan sent a quick horse urgent report to King's Landing, but the emergency report did not say that there were still three elite soldiers in the Three Kingdoms mission, and now the most elite men and horses in their own countries suddenly appeared in the missions of the Three Kingdoms, which made Ji Qingchen, Chen Yan, and Ye Qingchen also surprised.

"Elder Chen, do you think that the world-famous backswords, pikemen and iron swords of the Eastern Wilderness suddenly appeared in the missions of the Three Kingdoms Lingnan, Western Shu and Eastern Wilderness, what is their purpose?" Ji Qingchen asked Chen Yan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites on the side.

"Probably, they just want to escort the mission to safety along the way!" Chen Yan said lightly, "Otherwise, does His Highness the Ninth think that with less than two thousand people, they still want to do something earth-shattering in King's Landing?" ”

"Old Chen, the Three Kingdoms Mission deliberately hid these three elites along the way, and suddenly revealed their identities when they were about to reach King's Landing, was it just for their own safety along the way? Old Chen didn't think they had other purposes? Ji Qingchen asked rhetorically. He didn't expect that Chen Yan would be so naïve when dealing with this problem, and he was a little annoyed when he looked at the problem so simply.

"What does His Highness Jiu mean?" Chen Yan was a little dissatisfied with Ji Qingchen's continuous questions about him.

"They want to demonstrate with Dayan!" Ji Qingchen replied coldly.

"That's all there is to it?" An official of the Ministry of Rites beside Chen Yan said disdainfully, "Your Highness the Nine, this is King's Landing City, not the territory of their own country. ”

"Hmph-" Ji Qingchen snorted coldly, his eyes shot sharply at the Ministry of Rites official, and asked, "You're right, this is Dayan, not their own country, but there are only two hundred Yulin horsemen around you now, and if the Lingnan, or Eastern Wilderness, or Western Shu missions have to demonstrate with you, what should you do?" ”

"I-" The official was about to answer, but Ji Qingchen continued to question, "Don't tell this prince like an idiot, you will immediately go back to the city and ask your father to mobilize the Long Xiang army for help, do you think the time will come in time?" Besides, the people in the Three Kingdoms Mission are all fools, since they want to bully you and want to demonstrate with Dayan, will they allow you to return to the city to transfer troops? ”

"Your Highness the Nine—" The official of the Ministry of Rites was so angry that he didn't know how to refute it, and his face was a little pale. But at this time, Ji Qingchen had already ignored this official, but moved his gaze to Chen Yan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and said, "Old Chen, what do you think should be done?" ”

"Your Highness is right just now, now the Eastern Wilderness Mission is less than ten miles away from us, and the Western Shu and Lingnan missions are not far from us, that is, we know that they want to demonstrate with us, and we are now entering the city to ask His Majesty for the transfer of troops, I'm afraid this time will not be able to catch up!" Chen Yan replied calmly. He replied to Ji Qingchen with Ji Qingchen's words of reprimanding the Ministry of Rites official just now, and expressed Ji Qingchen's dissatisfaction with reprimanding his subordinates in disguise.

"So, Elder Chen also agrees with me?" Regarding Chen Yan's dissatisfied answer, Ji Qingchen didn't care, and still asked calmly.

"The old man agrees with His Highness's opinion, but now do we have time to transfer troops?" Chen Yan seemed a little impatient and asked rhetorically, his tone was cold, his eyes were firmly fixed on Ji Qingchen's eyes, and he had a very determined expression.

"Yes!" Ji Qingchen smiled slightly and replied affirmatively.

Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, his original intention was to save a little bit for the official just now in front of his subordinates, but he didn't expect Ji Qingchen to answer so simply, his face suddenly became a little ugly, as if he was slapped hard by Ji Qingchen in front of him. But Ji Qingchen ignored him, and after answering Chen Yan's words, he handed one of his waist cards to a Yu Linlang and said, "Hurry up and go to the Kunshan military camp and tell Bai Xiangcheng to let him transfer the cavalry camp down the mountain." ”

"No!" This Yu Lin Lang took the order and rode away on horseback. Not long after this Yu Lin Lang left, another fast horse galloped in front of the three of them on the official road in front of him and stopped, and the knight on horseback turned over and dismounted, and replied loudly, "Your Highness Yujiu, Lord Shangshu, Lord Shaoqing, the Eastern Wilderness Mission, the Western Shu Mission, and the Lingnan Mission have already joined forces in three cases, and are galloping towards King's Landing. ”

"Probe!" Ignoring Chen Yan and Ye Qingchen next to him, Ji Qingchen replied coldly.

"No!" The knight turned on his horse and galloped away, but as soon as his figure disappeared from everyone's sight, everyone felt the earth tremble, and then they heard the sound of horses' hooves in front of them, and saw the dust flying, and then saw an elite iron horse appear in everyone's sight.

This iron cavalry is covered in white armor, tall horses, and all colored spears, although they are still a thousand steps away, the monstrous battle intent exuded from their bodies when they march is like a cold current, which has invaded Ji Qingchen, Chen Yan, Ye Qingchen and others, making everyone shudder, and as soon as Ji Qingchen saw the outfit of this cavalry, he guessed that they must be the pikemen of Xishu. Behind the pikerider was a black-clothed swordsman, they were dressed in black cloth, no heavy armor, no majestic war horses, and only a long sword at their waists, but they followed the pikemen so quietly, and Xiao Kill's momentum was not lost to the pikemen. Needless to say, this is the East Wilderness Force, the East Wilderness Iron Sword.

These two elite soldiers escorted a convoy of dozens of carriages and slowly walked to a stop fifty steps in front of Ji Qingchen, Chen Yan, and Ye Qingchen. Then I saw a resolute man wearing a Xishu official uniform, about thirty years old, and a forty-year-old scribe wearing an Eastern Wilderness court uniform and an elegant temperament walked down from the carriage of the team. The two of them hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Ji Qingchen, Chen Yan, and Ye Qingchen respectively, "Han Peng, the envoy of Western Shu, has seen His Royal Highness the Nine!" Lord Shangshu, Lord Shaoqing. ”

"Zhang Mo, the envoy of the Eastern Wilderness, has seen the Ninth Highness! Lord Shangshu, Lord Shaoqing. ”

"Two adults don't need to be polite!" Ji Qingchen said lightly, his gaze still did not retract, and he still looked at the official road in front of him, because he found that another team appeared at the end of the official road at this time, the speed of this team was not fast, but it gave people a very spoofed feeling, as they slowly moved forward, faintly Ji Qingchen seemed to feel that there was a murderous aura attacking him, cold and piercing. Needless to say, he was sure that this was the Lingnan Mission, and this murderous aura was coming from the backstabbing soldiers in the Lingnan Mission.

At this time, Chen Yan and Ye Qingchen also finished politely with Han Peng, the envoy of Western Shu, and Zhang Mo, the envoy of the Eastern Wilderness, and moved their eyes to the official road in front of them. At the end of the official road, a large team of 2,000 people slowly appeared in front of them. At the front of the team was a tall and sturdy knight, exuding a compelling aura from all over his body, which already made them feel a little cool from a distance.

As soon as this team appeared, the envoys of the Eastern Wilderness and Western Shu immediately retreated to both sides of the official road and took the initiative to make way for this team.

In an instant, the team walked fifty steps in front of Ji Qingchen, Chen Yan, Ye Qingchen and others before stopping, and then the back soldiers who rushed in front of the team suddenly separated a road, and more than ten Lingnan Yi generals appeared in front of the team on horseback. This military general is about forty years old, but he is majestic and tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his eyes are blazing, and the four-foot-long curve hangs on the saddle, swaying with the steps of his war horse, and he has the neatness and unspeakable domineering of a soldier in his gestures.

This military general rode to the front of the team surrounded by the generals of Lingnan, and just glanced at Ji Qingchen and the others in front of him lightly, and said arrogantly with a condescending gaze, "Ahead is the Ninth Highness of Dayan and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple?" ”

"That's right! We are ......" As soon as Chen Yan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said these words, he closed his mouth, because he saw that the Nine Emperor Prince Ji Qingchen had already ridden out of the road without knowing when he was and was slowly rushing towards the Lingnan mission step by step.

"Your Highness—" Chen Yan shouted anxiously, but Ji Qingchen ignored him, he moved his gaze to Ye Qingchen on the side, and saw that the uncle of the Nine Emperor Princes, Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, had a calm look, so he withdrew his gaze, closed his mouth, and just quietly watched the back of Ji Qingchen riding on a horse in front of him.

Ji Qingchen rode a war horse, with a war knife on his waist, step by step towards the Lingnan military general who had just spoken, his figure was tall and majestic, like a flag, which attracted everyone's attention tightly, and when he was only ten steps away from the Lingnan general, he reined in the war horse, and his eyes were sharply nailed to the general's face. As soon as the gaze of the Lingnan military general on the war horse touched Ji Qingchen's cold eyes, his body trembled, and he seemed to be invaded by a cold current, and his body suddenly became a little cold. However, after years of bloody battles, he woke up all of a sudden, and his eyes shot at Ji Qingchen with the same fierceness.

The moment the two of them touched each other, it was like the sea water rushing onto the reef on the shore, stirring up a layer of waves, and the atmosphere around the two of them suddenly became condensed and killing, full of strong battle intent, and at the same time, they saw that the Lingnan military general had unconsciously put his hand on the scimitar on his waist!
