Chapter 251: Never Will
"You are the defender of Frozen City?" Xue Ren looked at the man in front of him who looked very young, in his imagination he should be a little old man like Wu Yong.
"Who are you?" Meng Xiang glanced at the team behind Xue Ren, "Wu Yong." ”
"General Meng, Marshal Wu Yong is dead. ”
"Dead?" Meng Xiang obviously didn't want to believe, "How could he die?"
Xiang Zuo shook his head, "It's not because of illness that General Wu Yong died on the northern battlefield." ”
"Impossible!" Meng Xiang glared at Xiang Xiang, "Who are you!"
"This is Prince Xue Ren, sent by His Majesty the King to assist you. ”
"A prince?" Meng Xiang looked at Xue Ren with a look of disdain, in his opinion, none of the nobles and generals in the capital could be qualified to be put in our eyes by him.
"This place is not a place to play, according to me, it is better for Your Highness to wait for the wind to stop and return the way you came. Meng Xiang's tone was quite polite, and he looked at Xue Ren and found that he was also looking at him.
"You are so disrespectful to me, if this is ...... in the capital"
"I'll be punished, right?" Meng Xiang sneered, "But this is not the capital, this is the frozen city, dozens of meters away from the wall, and on the other side is the world of spirits." If you want to survive here, you can't rely on politeness. It's about strength!"
"Strength, how do you know that I don't have the strength?" Xue Ren didn't like being said to be worthless and pulled out the saber at his waist, "Or, let's compete first?"
Meng Xiang was a little surprised, but Xue Ren's actions at this time were just an angry impulse in his eyes.
"I'm afraid I'll hurt Your Highness then. ”
"Unless you kill me, you will be safe. The sword blade in Xue Ren's hand reflected the light from the two stars on the collar.
"If Your Highness can support ten rounds in my hands, only then will I listen to your osmanthus. ”
"Ten rounds? You're a little too confident in yourself. ”
"Your Highness, we have other things to do right now, but this is not the time for a joust. Xiang Xiang was speechless, why did these two people fight as soon as they met.
"There is no way to do this, since General Meng doesn't believe me, then I have to rely on my true skills to win his trust. ”
"Your Highness is serious. "Another person walked up," Meng Xiang just felt that this frozen city was too boring, after all, this was a city of border stops, there was no singing and dancing, and there was not even a decent mouthful of hot food. ”
The man pressed the blade in Meng Xiang's hand, "Don't you apologize to His Royal Highness Emperor Xue Ren, this incident is because of you." ”
Meng Xiang met his gaze and saw something wrong in his brother's eyes.
"Forget it. Meng Xiang withdrew his sword, but he still had an attitude of neither humility nor arrogance when facing Xue Ren.
"I was too impulsive just now, and I hope the prince doesn't take it to heart. ”
Xue Ren looked at the man beside Meng Xiang and frowned, "Who are you?"
"He is my lieutenant named Xiao Fang, and he is in charge of all Frozen City in my absence. ”
"I'm just in charge of arranging the problems of life, and I don't know anything about leading troops to fight. Xiao Fang smiled and greeted Xue Ren warmly, "Is His Majesty the King planning to let His Royal Highness the Prince come to visit this year?"
"Naturally, it's to help you defend the border. Xue Ren said in a superior tone, in his opinion, these people were nothing more than his father's subordinates. They are also equivalent to accomplices in the current system of Xinghua.
"Hmm......" Xiao Fang muttered for a long time, but he didn't say anything.
"How many people did Your Highness bring with you on this march?"
"Eighty thousand. ”
"Eighty thousand!?" Meng Xiang on the side was also slightly surprised by this number. smiled secretly in his heart, worthy of the royal bloodline, but there were 80,000 people on a border expedition.
"Why can't you live?"
"No, let alone 80,000 people, even if there are 100,000 more, we still have plenty of space to settle in. Xiao Fang stretched out his hand to the soldiers sitting around the fire behind him, and beckoned, "Come here!"
"Brother Xiao, what's the matter?" The soldiers who came over were extremely casual, they were not like the army outside, they didn't have so many iron laws.
"This is the prince of our Xinghua Kingdom, His Royal Highness Xue Ren was sent by His Royal Highness the King to help us defend the Frozen City this time. ”
"His Royal Highness?" the soldiers also didn't expect that this year it would be the members of the royal family who would come here in person.
"Then Marshal Wu Yong won't come again?" someone asked, they liked Wu Yong a lot, after all, the old guy had been with them for more than a dozen New Year's Eve years.
"Old Marshal Wu will not come again, he will not come today, and he will not come again in the future. Xiangzhi's tone was solemn, and the expression on his face also showed a sad look.
"Old Marshal Wu?" he ......, "The soldiers have always been in this frozen city, and they don't know what is happening outside.
"Sacrificed, on the battlefield of the North. Xue Ren stared into their eyes, "Old Marshal Wu, in order to give us more living space, went deep into the territory of Longhui alone...... But unfortunately, it ran into a blood problem. 200,000 troops died."
The cavern, which had been relatively warm, suddenly fell into a cold silence.
"Marshal Wu...... Dead?"
Meng Xiang also found out not long ago, and he took a deep breath to adjust his emotions. "Marshal Wu died for Xinghua, and he died a glorious death. We should not be sad, we should rejoice that the old general and Long Hui have been fighting for more than 10 years, and the two sides have always been tied, and now we know that our army is capable of breaking through Long Hui's defensive line. ”
"People cannot be resurrected from death, and I believe that the old marshal, if he were still here, would never want us to be so sad. Don't forget! We are border generals! Behind us is our hometown, and our responsibilities are much heavier than anyone else's. ”
Xue Ren just listened to them and had no intention of interjecting, after all, no matter what they said, no matter how good they said, they couldn't impress themselves.
Because in his heart, the king is the one who needs to bear the most weight. Even these generals were nothing more than a matter that the king could decide with a word.
"Your Royal Highness, I wonder if this place is feasible to build your temporary camp?" Xiao Fang deliberately found an area for Xue Ren that was slightly warmer near the center. "I don't need privileges, I can do the same where the soldiers can live. ”
"This is not a privilege, Your Highness is still Your Highness after all, you have only been in Frozen City for a month, and we dare not let you have any accidents during this month. I would also ask for your pardon......"
Xue Ren snorted coldly, "You don't need to care about my father's side, I'm different from him." "Hundred Plating" Find the Flower Spirit Claw Book House" The latest chapter is free to read for the first time.
