Chapter 5 The Eve of Arrival

"Ah~ You're so pitiful! I'm sorry to remind you of something sad!" Chu Xinyu suddenly felt that she was very happy, she had no worries about food and clothing, she did everything by her own temperament, and everyone in the royal family took care of herself, which could be described as a collection of thousands of favors, but the comparison of the young man in front of her made people feel worried about her life experience.

"Uh...... I'm used to being loved by no one, and the only person who loves me is not in this world anymore. Hundreds of miles of frightened clouds and lonely muttered. Looking at the sky overhead, the face of the old master faintly appeared, if the old master is old and can't walk, who will help him? Who will feed him? Who will send him to the end? It was originally me, but ......

Baili Jingyun, who lowered his head and was silent, felt that his face was wet, and he saw that the little white fox was looking at him with some tearful eyes.

"Don't comfort me, I'm fine. ”

Chu Xinyu had the urge to hug the handsome young man in front of him, but he was forcibly suppressed by reason.

"Then what's your name?" Chu Xinyu then asked with a gentle smile.

"Hundred Miles of Shocking Clouds"

"Let's talk while we are on the road!" Chu Xinyu was also very worried about his second brother's life and the war on the front line.

"Okay!" Baili Jingyun looked at Li Mo very meaningfully, this person should not be Chu Xinyu's person from the situation just now! The latter glanced away.

"How old are you?" Chu Xinyu asked curiously.

"I should be fifteen or sixteen this year!" said Baili Jingyun, touching his face.

"Older than me!"

Along the way, the four of them and one fox were rushing to Tianlong City, sometimes, Chu Xinyu wanted to hug the little white fox, but the white fox grabbed the neck of Baili Jingyun and didn't let go, causing Chu Xinyu to be a little depressed. Of course, the relationship between several people is getting more and more familiar, and Chu Xinyu is also hungry for the barbecue from Baili Jingyun, she has to eat it every day, and she can't get tired of eating it.

Baili Jingyun also roughly understands the pattern of the whole world from Chu Xinyu's description, this continent is vast, called the Thousand Domains Continent, which is divided into three main domains, the Demon Domain, the Human Domain, the Spirit Domain, and some other ghost domains, sea areas, shadow domains, etc., are relatively small in comparison.

Now it is in the Sea of Death, which belongs to the Demon Domain, but it is only a peripheral area, and further east is the Human Domain, the West is the Demon Domain, and the North is the Spirit Domain.

Of course, what Baili Jingyun wants to know most is the situation in the human domain, after all, he will live in the future, and as for wanting to return to the earth, it is estimated that there is no hope in this life!

The human domain is one of the three main domains, and the forces among them are intricate, and there is no one more powerful than the powerful five kingdoms and six sects. What are the Five Kingdoms and Six Sects?

The five kingdoms are the Eastern Zhou, Western Chu, Southern Song, Northern Wei, and Zhongtianqi.

The six sects are the Hidden Gate, the General Xiangzong, the Xianxue Peak, the Heaven and Earth Pavilion, the War Sect, and the Gathering Demon Building.

The most powerful of the five kingdoms was the Tianqi State, then the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty were almost the same in strength, and finally the weaker was the Western Chu. Compared with some other countries, the establishment of the Chu State was very short, and it cannot be compared with it in more aspects.

Of course, the relationship between the six sects and the five major powers is more complicated, and many countries have some sects behind the support and help, but some countries control the sects, and some are controlled by the sects, and more are equal and mutually beneficial.

In terms of strength, Chu Xinyu didn't say too much about the strength, but roughly said that the strength was almost the same, and it was relatively vague, so she didn't know it herself!

However, from Li Mo's mouth, I understand the level division of strength, from low to high is distinguished by rank, the lowest level is the first order, and the highest level is the ninth order, and the strength of each level has changed greatly, and it is generally difficult to do it unless you have special skills.

Time flies, ten days pass quietly, a few people get along more happily, Baili Jingyun also knows a lot of humanities and geography, although he is also well-read, but it is also before, now almost a newcomer to the WTO, so you must absorb some knowledge.

"Finally arrived at Tinno City, second brother, you have to hold on, I'm already back!" Chu Xinyu was very anxious about the safety of his second brother, put his hands on his chest, and looked at Tinno City.

As far as the eye can see, Tianlong City is like a giant beast crawling on the earth, very powerful, the city wall alone is sixty zhang high, if you don't have the strength to step up, it is simply a fantasy. If you want to break through such a city, you will have to attack the city, and the attacking side will also have a headache.

"This is a mountainous area, is Celestial City built here just to defend against the coalition forces of other countries?

"Baili Gongzi, although this Tianlong City belongs to the Chu State, but it also has a role to resist the Demon Domain, the city's walls and thickness will continue to increase and thicken, although the military strength of the countries on the northwest border of the Chu State is not particularly strong, but together it cannot be underestimated. ”

Chu Xin Yuzai carefully explained to Baili Jingyun.

"So, the Demon Domain will attack in the future?" Baili raised his eyebrows.

"Well, yes. Chu Xinyu's face was slightly red. The little white fox was hostile to it when he saw it, and he showed his teeth and claws.

"Goblin, don't make trouble, be gentle with beautiful women. Baili Jingyun smiled and stroked the back of the white fox.

Chu Xinyu but his intuition is very sharp, and this white fox obviously has a sense of jealousy.

"Baili Gongzi, do you have a place to go?" Chu Xin asked weakly.

"I don't know for the time being, the sea of people is vast, where is my shelter!"

"Why don't you stay with me!" Chu Xinyu said with a smile.

"What?" Baili was stunned. Even the guard Li Mo was stunned.

"I ...... I don't mean that! I think you can go to the imperial capital! It's very prosperous, and if you saved me, my father will be very grateful to you. Chu Xinyu hurriedly explained.

"Thank you, Miss Chu, if I go to the imperial capital, I will definitely find you!" Baili Jingyun smiled.

"That'...... Then let's go into the city!" Chu Xinyu was a little disappointed, if someone else saved him, he would like to see his father seeking a half-official position, but this young man didn't seem to be interested at all.

"Princess, now that the two armies are at war, we can't rush into the city. Li Mo hurriedly said on his knees.

"But the second brother's life is at stake, and it has been delayed for almost a month, and the second brother is in danger if he doesn't enter the city. Chu Xinyu was very anxious.

"What do you mean, can't we get in?"

"This Tianlong City, there are steep peaks on the left and right, some birds, beasts and birds are difficult to overcome and climb, so if you want to enter the city, you must enter from the main city gate, but now is the time of war, we go over like this, the safety of the princess is really a little ......" Li Mo hurriedly responded, once the war starts, let alone protection, it is difficult to protect yourself, in front of thousands of troops, although the strength of his third order is good, but he can't help but have a lot of people.

"It's okay, let's go through the main gate! I am still confident in my strength, and no one will hurt you, maybe when we arrive at the city gate, it will be just in time for the siege of the city." Baili Jingyun smiled.

"Thank you, Baili Gongzi. Chu Xinyu said gratefully.

"You're welcome, if it weren't for you, I might not have been able to get out of the Sea of Death. Baili Jingyun said.

Having said that, it is destined in the dark.

The west and north of Chu are barren land, and this year it seems that the weather is not beautiful, the grain harvest is poor, and the drought continues, resulting in an increase in poverty, and it is difficult to pay land taxes in most places.

The northwestern countries held an alliance meeting a month ago, and there were a total of eight countries, but there were very few of them with strength, only the three countries of Yan, Liang, and Sichuan were outstanding in military strength, and the other five countries were relatively weak, but they were willing to send troops to help.

There are many countries in the human domain, but there is a reason why they dare to invade and send troops to Western Chu, although Western Chu is one of the five countries, most of the troops are placed in the border cities of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Zhongtianqi and the Southern Song Dynasty. In the eyes of the alliance of countries, the strength of Tianlong City is not much, relying on Tianlong City is the first pass of Western Chu, and the number of troops stationed in Xiangbei will not exceed 100,000. Therefore, the eight countries gathered 400,000 troops and waved their troops south, aiming at the West Chu Tianlong City.

Of course, all this was indeed expected by the alliance of nations. Even the time to break the city is estimated to be a month limit, even if Western Chu transfers troops from other cities, it will be useless, because according to the map of Western Chu, it will take a month and a half to transfer troops from the nearest city, and it is only a single trip, if you wait to move the rescue troops back, at that time Tianlong City has been captured, and there is no time to rescue and deploy troops, which is the biggest reliance on the alliance of all countries.

In the military tent of the Alliance of Nations, there was a young man in white sitting on the main seat, with a majestic spirit, holding a map of Western Chu in his hand and studying it carefully. This person's name is Nie Cangfan, only eighteen years old, born in Yan State, and served as the commander of the Alliance Army.

At this time, a brave man under his hand, who was powerful and powerful, spoke like the sound of a drum, and carried a double hammer, said impatiently: "Nie Shuai, when are we going to attack the city? It's been almost a month, and Chu Luo, who is in Tianlong City, has been poisoned, what are we waiting for?"

"General Liu Yu, after an hour, that is, noon, the weather is hot, the enemy is the most lax moment, we have been attacking in the morning for more than 20 consecutive days, their hearts have been used to it, so while they are used to it, we will attack in the afternoon, let the soldiers prepare the siege equipment, after today's siege, within three days, the other side will be defeated. Nie Cangfan said indifferently.

"Nie Shuai, it's really talented, what's this...... Forehead...... In short, Liu Yu is anxious!" Liu Yu smiled innocently.

Nie Cangfan shook his head and said, "If it weren't for Chu Luo's poisoning, I believe it would have been faster to break through Tianlong City." ”

"How do you say this? The other party, Chu Luo, is the second prince of the Chu State, and according to legend, he is also a talented man in both civil and military affairs, why did Nie Shuai say this? Isn't there no one in charge of him when he is poisoned?" A military general named Zhang Liao was a little puzzled.
