Chapter 514: Sword Cultivation? Emperor Road?
Starting from the imperial city, all the way to the east, Gu Hengsheng and Luo Qing led an army of 100,000, and they had already passed through several cities, and they were getting closer and closer to the eastern frontier.
"After several days of sleepless journey, many soldiers are already tired, so let's have a good rest tonight!"
Gu Hengsheng looked back at the soldiers of the army whose spirit was gradually disappearing, and admonished Luo Qing.
"Okay, Tongcheng ahead, let's go to the military camp in the city to borrow land to rest for a day, and set off to the east early tomorrow morning."
Luo Qing nodded without hesitation.
Subsequently, Luo Qing sent someone to release the news of the rest, which lifted the spirits of the soldiers of the army and accelerated the speed of the march.
Tongcheng, a rich city in the former Su Dynasty, is extremely wide and inhabited by millions of living beings.
It's just that most of them are ordinary people who can't cultivate, or martial artists who have extremely low cultivation.
The population base is large, and there are a lot of geniuses, and naturally there are many ordinary people who don't have natural spiritual roots. These ordinary people live at the bottom of the world, basically reduced to coolies and slaves, and are extremely miserable.
Perhaps only in the depths of the North State, or even in the territory of the Middle State, it is difficult to see an ordinary person.
The huge Tongcheng has tens of thousands of defenders and is heavily guarded.
"There's an army coming, be on guard!"
When the defenders of Tongcheng saw Gu Hengsheng and other 100,000 troops coming, they immediately closed the city gate.
On the city wall, many defenders have set up spiritual bows, as long as it is confirmed that Gu Hengsheng and others are the enemies who are coming, they will definitely release the spirit arrows to kill.
"I am the seventh prince, I was appointed as the general of the Eastern Expedition by the order of my father, and I went out to the Eastern Expedition, so I don't want to open the city gate quickly!"
Luo Qing led the army to the bottom of Tongcheng, holding the holy order of Emperor Luo Hongsheng, and shouted loudly at the defenders on the city wall.
Seeing this, the defender generals on the city wall immediately confirmed Luoqing's identity, hurriedly put away their vigilance, and opened the city gate.
"Open the gates!"
Luo Qing and Gu Hengsheng and other 100,000 troops were welcomed to the city by the guards, and they settled down.
The military camp in Tongcheng is huge, which is enough for the 100,000 army to have a good rest.
After Gu Hengsheng stepped into Tongcheng, he did not stay in the boring barracks, but walked around the streets of Tongcheng alone.
On the streets, many people were discussing the entry of the army into the city, and they also learned the news that the current Seven Princes were appointed as the general of the Eastern Expedition.
For a time, the entire Tongcheng was bustling, and there was a noise everywhere.
"I heard that the Seventh Prince led 100,000 troops to recapture the lost thirteen cities and boost the prestige of my country, I don't know if it's true or not."
"The army has already come to our Tongcheng, and it definitely can't be fake. Naturally, these things are not something we can worry about, but I just hope that the Seven Princes can return triumphantly! By the way, I heard that the emperor road is about to open again, do you know? ”
Gu Hengsheng found a larger restaurant, and listened to the discussions of pedestrians and drinkers coming and going in the hall, and was very interested.
"Emperor Road! Could it be ...... Zhongzhou's imperial road that only opens once in 2,000 years? This is a grand festival of the heavens and all worlds, and the heavenly arrogance and demons of countless forces will participate, and even the Great Emperor will appear. ”
Emperor Road?
The wine glass Gu Hengsheng was holding hovered in the air, frowning slightly in confusion, and quietly listening to everyone's words.
"If you can go to the emperor road and see the demeanor of the demons in the heavens, you will have no regrets in this life!" A drunken drinker sighed for a long time, his eyes full of yearning.
"Don't dream, we can't even go out of the Qiansu Dynasty, and we can't even finish this boundless Beizhou, where are we qualified to go to Zhongzhou? Not to mention the demon-filled Emperor Road. Someone poured cold water on him and laughed at himself.
"Don't talk about this, Dilu is just a legend in our eyes, so don't fantasize about it." Someone shook his head and said, "I heard that a peerless sword cultivator has recently appeared in the Yunhu Sword Sect, and he has comprehended the Dacheng Sword Intent, which is very extraordinary. ”
"The Yunhu Sword Sect is three points stronger than our former Su Dynasty, and there are amazing sword cultivators in every era, what is there to be curious about." Someone said.
Sword cultivation? Dacheng sword intent?
Gu Hengsheng seemed to smell a wisp of familiarity.
"Excuse me, may I ask what is the name of the sword cultivator you are talking about?" Gu Hengsheng interrupted the interest of the drinkers at the next table and asked.
"You said that the sword cultivation that appeared recently in the Yunhu Sword Sect? It seems to be called Dugu, I can't remember it clearly, I just heard it by chance. One of the drinkers replied patiently after a long pause.
"Dugu ......" A ray of light flashed in the depths of Gu Hengsheng's eyes, and he muttered in a low voice: "It should be you!" ”
Gu Hengsheng guessed that the sword cultivation of the Yunhu Sword Sect that everyone discussed should only be the sword venerable who suppressed the land of the hundred countries in the past year-Dugu Yan.
After all, a person like Dugu Yan is a sharp sword no matter where he is, and no one can hide his cold blade.
The drinkers did not pause because of Gu Hengsheng, and continued to discuss.
"What are they talking about Emperor Road?"
Gu Hengsheng muttered to himself in his heart.
In order to answer the doubts in his heart, Gu Hengsheng continued to stay in the restaurant, and pieced together a general message about Emperor Road from the words of the drinkers and passers-by.
It is rumored that the Emperor's Road is a road full of blood and bones, where there is no fairness, no victory or defeat, only life and death.
Since ancient times, the Emperor's Road has been opened once every two thousand years, and each time it will attract the heavenly pride and demons to the road. Only by really reaching the last level of the Emperor's Road can you break through the five gates of Sendai and seek the position of the emperor from the Heavenly Dao, and be invincible in the world.
For countless years, the existence that can really be called the Great Emperor has left a lot of traces in the annals of history, and there are only a handful.
Even if the emperor's road is opened once every 2,000 years, it is difficult to produce an emperor in tens of thousands of years or 100,000 years.
Only when you have truly experienced the cruelty of the Emperor's Road can you truly understand the hardships of the path of cultivation and the difficulties of the long road.
"Did Nangong Han go out of Beizhou back then, set foot on the Zhongzhou Emperor Road, and ascended to the throne of the Great Emperor?"
Gu Hengsheng's face gradually became cold, and he found that the three words Nangong Han became more and more heavy, and he muttered in his heart: "In a thousand years, he will ascend to the throne of the Great Emperor, which is really unattainable." ”
As the night grew dark, Gu Hengsheng left the restaurant and walked in the direction of the barracks.
When Gu Hengsheng returned to the barracks, the Seventh Prince Luoqing came over and said that he had something important to discuss.
Luo Qing pulled Gu Hengsheng into the camp tent and said nervously: "Brother Gu, something happened." ”
"What's the matter?" Gu Hengsheng asked.
"According to the front-line urgent military report, the East Burmese Dynasty sent 300,000 elite soldiers to guard the thirteen cities in Eastern Xinjiang lost by the Su Dynasty in front of us, and the leading general was an East Burmese general."
Luo Qing pulled Gu Hengsheng and said solemnly.
"Which East Burmese general?" Gu Hengsheng frowned.
"The general of the Zhenguo of the Eastern Burmese Dynasty, the powerhouse of the peak of the Tianxuan Realm."
Luo Qing breathed and gritted his teeth.
