They walked silently across the path, stepped onto the avenue, and walked in the direction of Qixia City. ．?ｒ?ａ?ｎ?? ｅ?ｎ?`ｎ?ｅ?ｇ?

The youngest of them was thirty years old, and the oldest was nearly sixty. Everyone's body exudes an iron-blooded and decisive killing aura. Even the most imperious bandits did not dare to trouble them.

They have a common name, the Old Iron Guard!

After receiving the conscription of the sect and stepping on the battlefield of blood and fire again, they were fearless.

From the day they became the Iron Guards of Qixia, they had the consciousness of sacrificing their lives for glory!

and the border of Ji County.

On the vast snowfield, a convoy of more than 100 horse-drawn carriages slowly walked from afar along the snow-covered avenue. The carriage was full of goods, the ruts were very deep, and on both sides of the carriage, there were dozens of light horsemen armed with horizontal knives, looking around vigilantly.

This is a caravan from the territory of Kunyu Sect, and their destination is Caisi City in Heji County.

Heji County had been occupied by the Qixia Sect for several months, and Caisi City had become a new border city. Qixia Sect and Kunyu Sect confronted each other, but the people of Li on both sides still needed to exchange goods, and such a border city became a place where merchants gathered, with a strange prosperity.

The convoy crossed a frozen river and entered the territory of Heji County. More than 80 miles ahead, there is Caisi City. The city had just been warped and needed a lot of supplies. The caravan owner squinted into the distance, calculating the benefits of this adventure.

"Compared to the Kunyu Sect, the taxes in the territory of the Qixia Sect are much lighter!

"The income of these two months has caught up with the past few years! That Shang Kurong is called the Butcher City Lord in Ganyuan County, but he is quite kind to the merchants. ”

The caravan owner was thinking about it, and in the woods beside the road, a dense sound of horses' hooves sounded, and hundreds of light horsemen in bright armor galloped out and rushed towards the convoy.

"The merchant army of Caisi City!"

The caravan owner was startled and hurriedly waved his hand to stop. The guards changed their faces one by one, and they clenched the hilts of their knives hard.

The light cavalry stopped a stone's throw away from the convoy, and the caravan owner rode forward, bowed to the young officer who was the leader, and said, "Lord Commander, it's me, we met last month. ”

The light cavalry commander glanced at the caravan boss and said lightly: "It turned out to be Hu Da." Is this your caravan?"

Hu Dalian nodded again and again: "Exactly." Lord Commander, here is to deliver supplies to Caisi City, and I have the road guide that the Lord opened for me last month. ”

The young officer snorted: "Since it's your caravan, I'll give you a face." Leave this batch of supplies, you can go back. In the future, you won't come back here in Caisi City!"

"Huh?"

Hu Da's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "My lord! This is all my net worth, if I leave it all, I will have to ask for food when I go back! My lord will be accommodating and let me go over, and after this transaction, I will definitely be indispensable for my lord's offering!"

"Which one is rare for your worship! The blockade of the border is the order of the sect, and no one from the Kunyu Sect will be allowed to enter the territory of the Qixia Sect in the future. Lao Tzu let you go, Lao Tzu will have to lose his head! Hu Da, leave the things and roll them by yourself, otherwise, don't blame me Shang Yang for not giving you face!"

"Blockade the border?" Hu Da was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "In this case, we won't do this business, let's return immediately, return immediately!"

"Nima, don't you understand people, do you?" the young commander's face turned cold, and he waved his big hand, "Kill them all!"

Hundreds of light horsemen behind him suddenly accelerated, waving their swords and pounced on the convoy. Hu Da's face changed greatly, and before he could speak, the knife flashed in front of him, and a head flew up!

"Fight!"

The dozens of caravan guards hired were also a bit professional, and instead of running away immediately, they roared and swung their horizontal knives and rushed up.

Hundreds of light horsemen are the elite of the Butcher City Lord Shang Kurong's subordinates, how can these caravan guards be comparable? The sword light flew out, blood splattered, and in a few breaths, all the guards were cut down by the light horsemen!

"My lord, we are just coachmen, spare us!" said one of the coachmen, who were standing in front of the carriage, knelt down with a thud and pleaded again and again. Seeing this, the other coachmen also knelt on the ground in an instant.

No one paid any attention to them, and the light horsemen rushed into the convoy, and all the drivers were killed. After a few moments, there was not a single living person in the entire convoy, and there were more than two hundred mutilated corpses on the snow, and the red blood stained the snow.

The cavalry commander swept the convoy with a faint gaze, and did not stop here, leading his men and horses to gallop away, rushing towards the frozen river in the distance.

This time, the city lord received a death order, and he must block the border in the jurisdiction and not let anyone from the Kunyu Sect come over. Who would dare to disobey the orders of the sect? If he can't reach the designated position within the scheduled time, the city lord will definitely kick his ass.

When more than a thousand of the iron-blooded old guards of Qixia Iron Guards stepped on the road to Qixia City, the borders on the east and west sides of Qixia Sect's territory were also lively at the same time.

After receiving the order of the sect to block the border, all the border city lords did not dare to slack off, and a large number of troops drove to the border.

The army was arranged along the border, and a guard camp was set up every few miles, and heavily armed light cavalry patrolled back and forth, and anyone who came from the Kun Yuzong side was killed regardless of the reason!

Beacon towers were quickly erected along the border, and the infantry on them closely monitored the movements on the other side of the border, and would set off an alarm if there was a situation.

In just a few days, more than four million servant troops were deployed on the borders of nearly three thousand li on the east and west sides of the Qixia Sect! The entire border was so tightly defended that it was difficult for even a bird to fly through.

When Kun Yu Sect and Cloud Breaking Sect received information, they also responded quickly.

Although it was only the servant army of the City Lord's Mansion, the border of millions of troops also made the two sects feel tremendous pressure. The reaction of the two major sects was the same, and they also ordered the private army of the Border City Lord's Mansion to go to the border and confront the army of the Qixia Sect from afar.

The haze of war finally shrouded the land south of Tiannan.

Blocking the border is exactly the plan that Luo Chen and Liu Yuxi discussed. If Qixia Sect wants to complete the secret expansion of the army, it naturally wants to block the news. Moreover, such a move to close the border was undoubtedly a manifestation of weakness in the eyes of the Kun Yu Sect and the Cloud Breaking Sect.

While blockading the border, the two major reserves stationed in the middle of the Qixia Sect's territory, the iron guards of the third and fourth brigades, were dispatched in teams and were active in various areas of the Qixia Sect's territory.

Both the Kunyu Sect and the Cloud Breaking Sect have a large number of spies in the territory of the Qixia Sect, and many of them have already been mastered by the Qixia Sect. After the border was blocked, the teams of Qixia Iron Guards cooperated with the private armies of the city lords' mansions in various places to wipe out all the families and forces suspected of having something to do with these two hostile forces, and all those related to Kunyu Sect or Cloud Breaking Sect were exterminated.

In just over ten days, I don't know how many people in the territory of Qixia Sect have landed on the ground!

The battle that is about to be faced is related to the fate of the Qixia Sect, and there is no room for any compassion. As for how many of them were wronged, no one will pay attention to it at this time.

Even if some people complained about such mass killing, they did not dare to say anything. This is a world where the strong are respected, and the Qixia Sect is strong enough, so the Qixia Iron Guards are the law, and they are always right.

By the time the blockade of the border was completed, more than 2,000 old guards had gathered in the old guard courtyard. The news of the First World War has been known, and the old iron guards are extremely excited, waiting for the arrival of the big war.

By the time they retired, according to the rules, their mounts had been put back in the Ryoma Forest. Ironback horses are very spiritual, and once they have chosen their masters, they will not choose other masters.

Late one night, a curfew was imposed in Qixia City, and all civilians were driven back to their homes. Taking advantage of the night, hundreds of carriages set off from the old guard courtyard and drove to the Longma Forest. More than 2,000 old guards entered the Ryoma Forest, looking for their mounts.

Ironback horses have a lifespan of more than 100 years, and the longest retirement of these guards is only nearly 30 years. So the guards searched for days in the Ryoma Forest, and they all found their former companions. Seeing their mounts, many old guards burst into tears with excitement.

Then Qixia City imposed a curfew again, and in the dark night, the sound of hooves rumbled, and more than 2,000 old iron guards rode into Qixia City on their iron-backed horses, and came directly to the guard camp of Qixia Iron Guards. The standard armor that had been prepared for a long time was immediately transported down from Qixia Peak, and in an instant, Qixia Sect had more than two brigades of Qixia Iron Guards!

And at this time, the order to change the guard was finally given.

The Second Brigade had been stationed in Qixia City for nearly ten years, and at this time it was ordered to rush to the western border to assist the servant army in blocking the border. In this regard, the commander of the second brigade, Wang Da Handsome, has no objections, the second brigade has been idle for many years, and it is indeed time to go to the battlefield to see blood.

The first brigade of Qixia Iron Guard, which was originally stationed on the western border, waited for the robe of the second brigade to take over the defense, and the whole army withdrew to Qixia City to take over the first brigade to garrison the sect.

This series of actions did not cause much shock within the territory of Qixia Sect. The news of Qixia Tiewei's expansion is still only known to insiders.

No one outside knew that there were already two more brigades of Qixia Iron Guards in the guard camp under Qixia Peak, so naturally no one thought that this change of guard was unnecessary. After all, according to the usual practice, there is always a brigade of Qixia Iron Guards stationed under Qixia Peak.

Everything was going according to Luo Chen and Liu Yuxi's plan, and by the time the first brigade marched into Qixia City in the day and took over the defense of the second brigade, it was already early February!

In this month's time, Luo Chen still stayed in the belly of Qixia Peak, and most of his time was spent making Dao pattern suits, and due to the insufficient supply of rough sets, a small part of his time was spent on studying the second-layer Dao pattern scrolls.

In a month's time, Luo Chen had more than 3,000 sets of Dao pattern suits around him.

In the past month, nothing new has happened around Luo Chen. The biggest thing is the promotion of Xue Nu!

This girl spends most of her day sleeping, and the rest of the time is either eating barbecue or quietly watching Luo Chen make the suit, not seeing how she cultivates at all, but she was easily promoted!

The current Xue Nu has become a second-level martial artist. Of course, her strength can't be looked at at at all by rank.

In the course of a month, Luo Chen had to shoot several times a day to restore Xuenu's memory with "Golden Conch Swallowing Sea Jue", but her memory was still only the part after becoming a dead soldier, and she still couldn't remember what happened before. And for Luo Chen, the only good person she remembers, Xue Nu is also becoming more and more dependent.

In the belly of the mountain, Luo Chen stood in front of the platform, and the Dao pattern immortal pen swayed at will like the wind, which was dazzling.

The beautiful girl in purple had a gentle smile on her little face, and stood quietly beside Luo Chen. On the other side, a beautiful girl with long legs and a thin waist had just finished eating barbecue and was also standing there, quietly looking at Luo Chen's handsome face.

"Okay!" Luo Chen put away the Dao Pattern Immortal Pen, hung a finished Iron Guard body armor on the wall, and let out a tired sigh. Now that he doesn't have a blank suit in front of him, he can take a little rest.

"Luo Chen, your subordinates have arrived today, and you should also go and meet them. It's time for you to tell her about the appointment of Tuobacui. Liu Yuxi smiled.

"Well, good. Luo Chen smiled and nodded, "Then I'll go see them!"

The area of the Qixia Iron Guard's guard camp under Qixia Peak is very large, and only one brigade is stationed on weekdays, but now there are more than three brigades of Qixia Iron Guard stationed at once, but it is still not too crowded at all.

The original housing here was enough for Qixia Iron Guards and 5,000 Iron Guards to live together, and even when the teenagers came here for testing every year, the houses were still vacant for a large part.

After the arrival of the first brigade, it was arranged to live in the original second brigade on weekdays. Each squad lived in a large compound, and the ten centurions each had their own separate mansions.

As for Liu Yuxi, as the commander, the mansion he owns is in the center of the living area of the first brigade. There are a total of five mansions like this in the entire guard camp.

Luo Chen followed Liu Yuxi down Qixia Peak and came to the living area of the first brigade. Liu Yuxi went directly to his mansion, and Luo Chen also successfully found the accommodation arranged for him.

The centurion's mansion is a huge courtyard with a radius of more than ten zhang, the furnishings are extremely simple, the building in the middle is the place of discussion, and a small building in the back is the place of residence. The front yard has a separate stable, kitchen and other necessary facilities, and Saifeng has been brought here from Heji County, and when he saw Luo Chen appear, he let out a long cry of pleasure.

"Your Excellency!"

Several attendants arranged in the mansion didn't know Luo Chen, but they knew a set of centurion armor on Luo Chen's body at this time, and hurriedly came over to salute. (To be continued.) )
