Text Chapter 172 General Chen in Black Armor

Seven days, only seven days later, the Seven Princes actually came to Renjin City.

He was ready to come when he learned that the siege of Renjin City had been lifted, but because some things were delayed, every time he arrived in a city, he had to stop to listen to the local city lord to say a few words, so the Seven Princes came to Renjin City on the seventh day.

However, this is already very fast, beyond Chu Jing's imagination.

In fact, Chu Jing didn't want to contact the Seven Princes, because they were enemies now, yes, Chu Jing was also the one who wanted to establish the country, and he was ready to win the trust of the country and replace him.

Shinkook is now like a piece of fat discarded on the side of the road, and everyone wants to grab it and take a big bite.

Chu Jing didn't want to see Zeng Fangzhou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, except for the Seventh Prince, and there was no accident, he really followed behind the Seventh Prince's buttocks, and he came with his fart.

In front of the south gate of Renjin City, Chu Jing stood in the first place, and a group of soldiers stood behind him, lined up to welcome.

Of course, the people who came were not only Chu Jing, but other rich people and people of status in the city came, and they also took the IOU written by Chu Jing, ready to start complaining as soon as they saw the Seventh Prince.

Chu Jing let them do this, otherwise, the people of the security team would not give them a random charge.

The familiar woman in white sprinkled flowers in front of her, and on the white horse, the handsome and dashing Seven Princes smiled and waved.

Those with IOUs rushed forward with a wait.

"Seventh Prince, you can be regarded as coming, the city lord has taken our lives!"

"Seventh Prince, you are the order of the Son of Heaven, you must be the master for us!"

The Seven Princes sat on their horses in a daze, and these people were stopped outside by the guards, and they could only hear a commotion, and they had no idea what they were talking about.

This is how the people of Ren Jincheng warmly welcomed?

At this time, one of the guards took the IOU and handed it to the Seventh Prince.

"It's ?...... Because of the needs of wartime, the materials were managed in a unified manner, and a total of 310 taels of gold, 5,000 taels of silver, 1,221 quintals of wheat, five pigs, a donkey, and thirteen salted fish were raised......"

When the Seventh Prince saw the dense records, he couldn't stand it, did Chu Jing copy all his family?

The Seventh Prince gestured and asked the guards to bring the bitter lord over.

Lord Li immediately knelt down and cried: "Seventh prince, you can be regarded as coming, the villain has been in business for generations, and the ancestors finally saved a little something, but they were completely taken away by the city lord, and they were all taken away, my child went to the government to theorize, was convicted of a felony, and now he has not come back, you have to be the master of my hard work!"

"Is there such a thing?" the Seventh Prince swept around the people holding the IOUs, there were thousands of them, and there might be more people in the city, but they couldn't squeeze in.

Such an enthusiastic scene made the Seventh Prince very distressed, he came to reward Chu Jing this time, who knew that he would encounter this kind of thing as soon as he came.

Helpless, the Seven Princes could only let people help Master Li Kuzhu out and continue to walk towards the city gate.

Along the way, there were many complaints, and the grievances kept listening, so that the ears of the seven princes were numb.

At this time, Chu Jing smiled and stepped forward and shouted, "Is it okay for the Seventh Prince to come in?"

"Okay......" The Seventh Prince smiled bitterly, "Let's go into the city and talk about it." ”

Chu Jing nodded, raised his right hand and waved slightly, a group of security teams wearing special uniforms appeared, and then the scene instantly fell silent.

Those bitter masters with IOUs, look at me, I look at you, and they are collectively silent.

"Seven...... Hmm!"

Just now, someone wanted to continue shouting, but a three-foot short stick was directly pumped up, and there was no sound anymore, as for breathing, this has yet to be verified.

The silent scene made the Seven Princes both shocked and a little displeased, such a brutal act would definitely leave a bad impression on the people of other cities, who would be willing to come to him at that time.

"What's the matter with these people?" the Seventh Prince asked, "You wrote those IOUs?"

Chu Jing smiled and nodded, and said: "Yes, the Seven Princes should understand the difficulties of Renjin City at that time, these rich people hid things in their own homes, and they had no effect on defending the city, so I took it upon myself to record their property and use it for requisition for the time being, gold and silver were used to reward the soldiers who should fight bravely, and food was used to reserve, which barely made Renjin City defend." ”

"I see. When the Seventh Prince heard the reason, he was relieved, "Then now that the war is over, shouldn't we return everything to them?"

Chu Jing's face was bitter, and he said with a wry smile: "The Seventh Prince, you think too simply, those gold and silver have been distributed as rewards, and the pigs and chickens have been slaughtered, what do you want me to give them back?"

“......”

The Seven Princes laughed helplessly: "It turns out that the concubine is waiting for me here, you have made a great contribution, I am not a stingy person, beautiful women, money, mansions, whatever you want, I will give you you, how much of these people's things you have left will be returned to them, and I will make up for them if they are not enough." ”

Chu Jing was waiting for this sentence, and arched his hand: "Then I will thank the Seven Princes for the people of Renjin City." ”

After that, the two sides exchanged a few more compliments.

At this time, a thirty-year-old man with a lofty instrument stood up, dressed in pitch-black armor that was out of place with other people, if it weren't for the fact that he had been silent as iron, Chu Jing would have noticed him a long time ago.

"Chu Juma, I'll give you a toast. ”

Chu Jing frowned, and intuitively felt that this person didn't seem to be in a relationship with him, but as if he was finding fault.

He also noticed that the soldiers didn't look at him right, and there was a faint look of adoration.

"I don't drink. Chu Jing said coldly.

The black-armored man was stunned for a moment, looked at the wine glass in Chu Jing's hand, and said angrily: "Isn't the master of the horse giving face to the next one?"

"I don't drink with the laity. Chu Jing refused again.

"You ......" The man in black armor was really angry.

The Seventh Prince hurriedly stood up and persuaded: "General Chen, don't be angry, Chu is not strong enough to drink, and he doesn't like others to toast, don't blame him." ”

Chu Jing didn't say a word, raised his head, and drank the wine in his hand in one gulp, and the cup was empty.

"Humph!"

The black-armored man glared at Chu Jing angrily, slammed the wine glass in his hand to the ground, and left directly.

The Seventh Prince shook his head helplessly, sat down again, and said, "Do you know who that person was just now?"

Chu Jing replied honestly: "I don't know." ”

"That's the former city lord of Renjin City, the deputy city lord you killed is his descendant, and his other deputy city lord was also removed by you. ”

"Oh. Chu Jing tilted his head and asked, "So what?"

"So he's coming to trouble you. ”

Chu Jing didn't delve into this issue, he glanced at Yu Ban, Yu Ban stepped forward, and saluted: "My subordinates meet His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince." ”

The Seventh Prince looked Yu Ban up and down for a long time, and asked, "He is the deputy city lord you appointed, who is he, and why have I never heard of it?"

Yu Ban replied: "Your Highness has not heard of my reputation, because God did not allow me to help you at that time, but now God has allowed it, I have come, you have not heard of me, but God wants me to help you, you should have heard of me?"

The Seventh Prince thought this person was very interesting, and couldn't help asking, "Then tell me how to govern the city?"

Yu Ban asked rhetorically, "Does Your Highness think that the city lord has not managed Renjin City well?"

"Of course not. "In front of Chu Jing, the Seventh Prince definitely can't deny Chu Jing's merits.

Yu Ban said again: "Since the city lord has governed the city very well, as long as I, the deputy city lord, govern according to the city lord's standards, what other methods do I need?"

The Seventh Prince was a little speechless, and could only sigh: "It is worthy of being a candidate to be the deputy city lord!"

Renjin City still needs Chu Jing's protection, and only Chu Jing can protect Renjin City in the siege of 300,000 troops, he is irreplaceable.

When the banquet was over, the Seventh Prince returned to his residence and saw the man in black armor again, General Chen.

"Your Highness!"

"I didn't expect Chu Jing to be so faceless and let you be wronged. ”

General Chen immediately said: "My subordinates are not wronged, they are just ...... What means did this Chu Jing use to make the eldest prince withdraw from the army?"

The Seventh Prince squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, and said slowly: "I don't know, all the spies didn't find out what Chu Jing and the eldest brother said, but they just knew that Chu Jing summoned a four-meter giant and fought with the Great Worship, and that giant won." ”

"But ......," said General Chen, "I don't think it's going to be as simple as a fight." ”

"Of course it's not that simple, on the battlefield, how can there be such a child's play as if the two sides send someone to fight and even if the winner is divided, I must know what he said to the eldest brother, why the eldest brother is in a hurry to Xinyang City to find an excuse to detain a large number of officials who support me. ”

In fact, it is not an accident that those officials will have accidents, the eldest prince has newly obtained three cities, and it is normal to eradicate a few dissidents with meritorious deeds.

The Seventh Prince said again: "There was only one woman who followed Chu Jing to see the eldest prince that day, and you have to find a way to send someone to investigate that woman and find a breakthrough in her." ”

"Yes!"

General Chen stepped back, and the Seventh Prince rubbed his forehead with some pain, his life these days was far worse than the days he had enjoyed before.

Thinking of this, the Seventh Prince walked out of the door and whispered something to the guard, and after a while, the guard brought a woman in white.

"I haven't enjoyed it for a long time, but fortunately I bring so many great products with me every time I go out. ”

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, Chu Jing accompanied the Seventh Princes to inspect the army of Renjin City, and the black-armored General Chen followed behind the Seventh Prince.

General Chen was the city lord of Renjin City before, and his prestige among the soldiers was still extremely high, and he instantly attracted countless eyes.

Chu Jing suddenly said to the Seventh Prince, "How about taking a look at these soldiers of mine?"

Then shout: "Lizheng!"

After a small break, the rows of soldiers stood in an orderly manner, although the speed was still a little slow, but after only a few days of training, the effect was still unsatisfactory.

However, the Seven Princes were shocked, because he had never seen such an army, uniform, no one was out of place with the team, and it looked like a whole.

"Take a break!" this time it was Zhou Tai who shouted instead of Chu Jing.

The soldier's right foot is forward, with the ball of his foot stretched out.

"Stand upright!"

"Let's go!"

"One-two-one, one-two-one, one-two-one......"

Smack, smack, smack......

In a neat rhythm, the soldiers advanced in an orderly manner.

After being shocked, the Seventh Prince suddenly turned to look at Chu Jing and wondered, "It looks very imposing, but does this training help their combat effectiveness?"

Chu Jing said of course: "Of course it is useful, and it is very useful, so that it can not only unite the sense of teamwork, but also exercise their ability to cooperate, you must know that the battlefield is not a single soldier, not who is strong, who can win, the important thing is cooperation, not the king of one person, but the glory of the team." ”

General Chen behind him nodded thoughtfully, maybe he can still see the effect, but as long as he trains day after day and goes to the battlefield, he can make a judgment.

After the soldiers demonstrated the results of the training in the past few days, the Seven Princes did not leave immediately.

General Chen suddenly stood up, walked up to Chu Jing and said, "I also used to be their city lord, and now I have handed them over to you, I don't worry, I want to see if you have this strength." ”

As if the Seventh Prince didn't see this, he was very interested in Zirui, but Zirui didn't show up, as long as she didn't want others to see her, no one could see her.

She vaguely knew the thoughts of the Seventh Prince, but she didn't look at it, she had long since stopped peeping into other people's hearts, except when bargaining.

Chu Jing didn't answer, and looked at the expectant gaze of the soldiers under his eyes.

"Good!"

Chu Jing replied, he was trying to try the undefeated power of the East that he had just inherited.

There was no special ring, and the soldiers gave up a large open space as a place for the two city lords to compete.

Many soldiers who had heard about it and seen Chu Jing's move came over to watch.

They had the awe of the previous city lord in their hearts, and they also had the awe of Chu Jing, and after experiencing the battle to defend the city, the two of them were on par in the hearts of the soldiers.

The soldiers exclaimed quietly, and couldn't help but cast adoring glances at Chu Jing and General Chen.

The Seventh Prince stepped forward and instructed, "The two of you will stop at the point." ”

In fact, the Seven Princes just wanted to see the little giant summoned by Chu Jing, so they asked General Chen to invite Chu Jing to compete.

General Chen was able to become the number one general under the Seven Princes, naturally he had extraordinary ability, and he didn't think that just relying on Chu Jing's strength to participate in the martial arts could pose any threat to General Chen, even if he added the time he spent cultivating in the First Martial Alliance.

General Chen of the black armor pulled out a black long sword, looking majestic, and his upright posture was like an iron tower, and the soldiers couldn't help but cheer at him.

So the entire parade ground rose one after another, surrounded by countless pairs of enthusiastic adoring eyes, paying tribute to their former city lord!

On the other side, Chu Jing was not so agitated, he showed his weapon, and the people in the distance couldn't even see clearly, only saw a little white light, which seemed to be the light reflected by metal.

A silver needle appeared in his hand.

Chu Jing was not verbose, and a silver needle was thrown out with a "boom", which was blocked by General Chen's black sword.

Sparks flew everywhere, and the silver needle made the black sword stagnate, but it didn't leave any traces, this is a good sword.

Chu Jing brushed his fingers with flowers, and there were four more silver needles in his hand, only to see the silver shadow flash, and the four silver needles flew towards General Chen's eyes and wrists respectively.

His wrists are restricting his movements, and his eyes are a little sinister.

But if he can't even take this trick, this General Chen should pay the price for his provocation.

General Chen really didn't live up to Chu Jing's expectations, he didn't even dodge, he just turned his head, "Ding Ding" four times, and the four silver needles shot on the black armor without a trace.

Heh, he actually used the treasure armor to disgust himself, Chu Jing was a little angry.

At this time, General Chen also moved, he didn't just rely on a good piece of equipment to get to where he is today.

"Drink!"

General Chen moved quickly, using black armor to catch a few flying needles, and his head was guarded by a black sword, approaching Chu Jing's body, and there was a sword in front of him.

The momentum of splitting Huashan brought up a cold wind, and the heaviness of the black sword came to the face, like a black cloud on a rainy day, pressing to the ground.

Chu Jing's hand flew quickly, and the silver needle was used like a sword, and with a flick, it changed the trajectory of the black sword, slashed through Chu Jing's body, and slashed heavily at the stone slab on the ground.

But at this moment, General Chen only felt a slight pain under his eyelids, and hurriedly turned his head.

"Zheng!"

The sound of metal rubbing remembered that General Chen's helmet burst into flames.

General Chen's left eye was confused by a drop of blood on his eyelid, it turned out that at that moment just now, Chu Jing suddenly made a quick move, and in the unbelievable, lightning and flint, he had already used a silver needle to cut a line on General Chen's face.

Fortunately, General Chen's response was timely, otherwise his left eye might not have existed.

Seeing this, the Seventh Prince hurriedly stepped forward to stop the competition. The silver needle in Chu Jing's hand that was no more than an inch long, almost blown by the wind, did not sink into the water, and the black sword that could be dialed was directly spread out, and the level of martial arts was high and low at this moment.

What's more, General Chen couldn't stop Chu Jing's silver needle at all.

"Horse, it's too much, it's good to say that it's up to the point, and you shouldn't be so heavy-handed. ”

Chu Jing shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "Isn't there nothing wrong?"

Although the competition just now was thrilling, for those soldiers who did not have high martial arts, it seemed a little profound, and many of them didn't even see the weapons used by Chu Jing clearly.

However, after the Seventh Prince stepped forward to stop it, it was clear that Chu Jing had won the victory in the competition just now.

The previous city lord was not bad, but the current city lord was even more powerful than the previous city lord, which made the soldiers present even more excited.

The cheers, shouts, and cheers were like wind and thunder in an instant, shaking the entire parade ground.

Chu Jing's face did not change, his anger did not grow, he smiled slightly at the Seventh Prince, and said, "What does Your Highness think of my strength? ”

The Seventh Prince smiled embarrassedly: "The horse is joking, you have always been a good city lord, but you defeated the eldest brother's army of 300,000." ”

After hearing this, Chu Jing looked up to the sky and smiled, this laughter echoed in the venue, shaking everyone's hearts.

When General Chen toasted Chu Jing, Chu Jing knew that his relationship with the Seventh Prince had already formed a rift, and since this was the case, it was better to make the rift even bigger.

The soldiers also cheered with Chu Jing, only the Seven Princes and the defeated General Chen were extremely embarrassed, like clowns who failed to perform.
