Chapter 36: Shen Tu Cang
Panjiao City on the border of Xiyue Kingdom.
"Come on, come on, do this!"
"This time, General Chen has made a lot of contributions, everyone respects General Chen for a few more cups!"
"Good!" replied in a hearty voice, and then raised his glass and drank it happily.
"Good!
Under the moonlight, there was a lot of noise in the wide garrison camp tent, and everyone was celebrating the thousand war horses that had just been delivered by the imperial court.
Heavy footsteps came from outside the tent, and the people in the tent stopped their movements one after another, looking at the curtain at the door of the tent, not knowing who it was.
The sound of steady footsteps gradually approached, and for some reason a sense of fear gradually rose in the hearts of the people, and a few timid soldiers clenched the wine glass in their hands tightly with the voice, almost crushing it.
The curtain was pulled open by two soldiers outside, and an unusually tall and straight figure walked in with a gust of wind behind him, wearing black black iron armor, and on his back was the legendary sword that could slay ghosts and gods, the sword had not yet been unsheathed, but it was already exuding a deep chill.
An earthworm-like scar stretched from the rough right side of his face to the back of his neck, and his weather-beaten face was full of coldness, and he pursed his lips and glanced at the people in the tent with a pair of eagle eyes.
"Presumptuous!" the slightly hoarse and deep shout frightened the crowd to their knees trembling on the ground.
"Shen ...... General Shentu!" The general of the Panjiao City garrison led by him lay on the ground and said tremblingly: "We all drink tea...... Tea, not wine!"
Shen Tucang stared at the person kneeling on the ground without saying a word, and indeed did not smell the slightest smell of alcohol. But he walked over to a table, reached out and picked up a flask, only to be shattered on the ground in an instant, and all that was left on the ground was a broken flask, mixed with some rough tea leaves.
"Tea instead of wine? It's so interesting, who came up with it?" Shen Tucang sneered, "Say!"
"Yes...... It's me. A little soldier was already in a cold sweat, and despair rose suddenly.
When he first proposed, he was proud of his idea, which was not a violation of military rules, but it was still fun. But who would have thought that Shen Tucang, the first general of Xiyue Kingdom, who has always been cold-blooded and strong in martial arts, and known for his rigorous management of the army, would suddenly appear in this small border city.
"Disrupt the morale of the military, drag it down, and deal with it by military law. As soon as Shen Tucang's voice fell, the two entourages immediately pulled down the little soldier who was already frightened and panicked.
"I didn't disturb the morale of the army, the general spared his life......!
With a miserable scream, the people kneeling on the ground didn't dare to come out, so they had to lower their heads and tremble, cold sweat dripping.
Panjiao Castle is a border city near the border of Nancheng. Due to the topography, strong winds blow in all seasons, spring and summer come later than elsewhere, and autumn and winter come earlier, but fortunately, the soil is fertile, but it is not a bitter cold place.
And although this is a border city, it has a more important position and role than the ordinary city, but after all, it is only a small city, the border between Xiyue and Nancheng stretches for thousands of miles, and there are dozens of border cities, this Panjiao city is not the most conspicuous one in all aspects.
"I didn't know that General Shentu had arrived, and his subordinates had lost sight!" said the general of the city garrison respectfully, but he still didn't dare to raise his head, and fell to the ground tightly.
"Get up!" It wasn't until Shen Tucang opened his mouth that everyone dared to slowly raise their heads and stand up, and everyone already had a red mark on their foreheads.
Shen Tucang's sharp gaze looked around coldly, and finally his gaze stayed on the thin Chen Luo.
Nancheng too womb.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, there is a military report!" a soldier hurriedly walked in from outside the door and knelt down to report for duty.
Wang Chengchen just wanted to drop the fingertips of the chess pieces, put the chess pieces back into the chess box, looked up and glanced at Wei Xiwan lightly and said, "You go back first." ”
"Yes. A trace of loss flashed in Wei Xiwan's eyes, she thought that Wang Chengchen would not avoid her for these things.
After bowing his head slightly, Wei Xiwan turned around and walked out. After she solved the game yesterday, she came to the palace today to play chess with him, but she was sent back before the first game was halfway through.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, Panjiao City on the border of Xiyue has recently increased the number of war horses by a thousand, and General Shentu Cang also arrived in Panjiao City a few days ago. ”
"Got it, let's go down!" Wang Chengchen stroked his forehead, his eyebrows a little solemn.
A thousand horses are nothing, Shen Tucang suddenly appeared in Panjiao City, this powerful Xiyue general, no matter in terms of force or strategy, he is not inferior to him in the slightest.
"Xiao Ren, what news does Chen Luo have?"
"Back to Your Highness, not yet. Xiao Ren appeared silently and replied.
"Well, wait. Wang Chengchen stared at the chess game in front of him with a frown, and then looked at the door where Wei Xiwan had just left, with inscrutable thoughts in his dark eyes.
"The order was issued, Feng Weixi was the deputy general of the Liangwucheng garrison, and followed General Luo to Liangwucheng to stabilize the border. After thinking for a long time, Wang Chengchen slowly spoke.
"You want her to go to the border?" Su Yilin happened to walk in, and he had already guessed the cause and effect without telling him.
With doubts and disbelief in his eyes, he asked, "Is it because she solved that game of chess?" do you believe in her abilities, or do you not care about her life or death?"
Wang Chengchen raised his head and looked at him, and replied indifferently: "First, I believe in her ability, and her martial arts are enough to protect herself; second, she will be of no use staying in the palace for the rest of this time; third, she needs merit to prove herself, and when she comes back, I can give her a real official position and let her stay in the imperial court." ”
"But if she meets Shen Tucang, it will be a dead end. Su Yilin still didn't agree, the border had begun to feel uneasy at the moment, and it was too dangerous for an inexperienced woman to go.
"In case of war, she doesn't need to go to war, so she won't meet it. ”
Su Yilin stopped talking, he seemed to understand that Wang Chengchen was gambling, gambling on the birth and return of a hero of the new dynasty, but this bet was Wei Xi's own life.
"Do you want me to leave and go to Liangwu City?" Wei Xiwan, who was summoned by Wang Chengchen, pointed at herself in disbelief, she didn't understand why.
"Yes, there's no need for you to keep it in the palace. Wang Chengchen didn't even raise his head to look at her, and his words were full of indifference and indifference.
......
Extremely aggrieved and unwilling, Wei Xiwan's eyes were full of tears, and she stumbled back to her small courtyard, but she was suddenly invaded by a bloody memory, which made her feel like the world was spinning and fell to the ground without warning.
"There's no need...... Know who you are...... Osawa ...... Master...... Oblivion ......"
Memories and words turned into wisps of chill that hit Wei Xiwan's heart, and bursts of pain came from the position of his heart, strange and uncomfortable.
The chill spread from the bottom of her heart to her whole body, Wei Xiwan thought it was two evil spells in her body at first, but at this moment she felt a strange chill, and she seemed to have felt it somewhere.
The chill brewed and fermented in her body, and finally turned into a piercing pain from all four limbs, and Wei Xiwan's pupils instantly flashed an abnormal crystal blue color, and then she lost consciousness.
Wei Xiwan, who was unconscious on the ground, didn't know that a thin flower within the reach of his fingertips was withering and disappearing at an incredible speed.
"Sister!" an ethereal and excited voice sounded in the cold cave.
In the huge cold cave connected to the deep pool, Qian Xuan saw that the cold air that had been calm like water for a hundred years suddenly turned into a huge whirlpool and flowed rapidly, and only slowly stopped after half a moment.
"Sister, the master has woken up. ”
