Chapter 340: First Meeting
"General Lin Yu, didn't you ask me to get up early to train the army?" Zhou Weida touched his nose and said in confusion: "Why did you get up so early! Did you wake up by us? No, I deliberately planned the route, and I didn't pass near the Shuai tent when I ran, so you shouldn't have heard our slogan?"
"I didn't sleep in Shuai ...... last night" Lin Yu paused, thinking that it was a bit embarrassing to think that he still didn't tell the story of sleeping in the stable, so he changed his words: "Since you are so keen on training, just call the other soldiers to practice together! Except for those old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers, the rest are called, use the first set of our progressive training method to train them well." [Full text reading]"
Lin Yu didn't say it casually, he also had his own considerations. Most of the time the battle is still a battle of 10,000 people, and although his own thousand cultivators can come in handy in battle, it will definitely not be enough when it comes to defending the city and occupying an area, which requires a large number of people.
In the previous battle of Demuxi, 100,000 soldiers were already very convinced of themselves, and there would basically be no mutiny. Now that he has this time, Lin Yu is thinking about training the tens of thousands of soldiers who are still qualified, so that they can play their greatest role in this war.
Besides, after this training, maybe some good seedlings can be found in it, and they can be recruited into the Lin Family Army, so that they can also become cultivators. Wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone?
"Obey!" Zhou Weida nodded, gave a few words to the cultivator soldiers, and then scattered and walked towards the other camps.
When he came to the Western Capital City yesterday, it was already night, and Lin Yu didn't have time to enjoy the scenery here. At this time, riding the grass and looking into the distance, he found that the desert, which is actually desolate and boundless, also has its own unique beauty.
Where there is no city, the endless desert looks like the sea, some places are smooth as mirrors, and some places are sparkling. I don't know if it's because of the lack of shelter, but the blue sky looks very vast, like a sapphire.
On the other side, a smooth avenue that has been stepped out by countless people stretches to the horizon. It was along this road that Lin Yu's army traveled from Demu Xi City on the border of Ximu to the center of the Ximu Empire, the Western Capital. At this time, Lin Yu's feet were thousands of miles of yellow sand, and not far away was the high city wall of the western capital, and the two complemented each other, revealing a desolate and heroic color.
While enjoying the beautiful scenery, Lin Yu rode back to his handsome tent. After turning over and dismounting, he tiptoed to the door, quietly glanced in through the gap, and found that the furnishings inside had not been moved, and Yinyue seemed to be no longer there, so he walked in boldly with confidence.
Because he was going to a banquet later, Lin Yu took off the armor he had worn all night, changed into a set of regular clothes and put them on, and after washing up, he went out again to guide the soldiers in training before he had time to rest.
After practicing for about an hour, a herald came to report to Lin Yu, saying that someone had been sent from the palace in the western capital to take them to the banquet. Lin Yu called Lin Chen and Zhou Weida, and the three of them got into the carriage and went to the palace.
Because there were guards from the Ximu Empire driving in front, Lin Yu and the three of them did not communicate much, but closed their eyes to recuperate. It didn't take long for the carriage to arrive in front of the imperial palace in the western capital.
Jumping down from the carriage, several people looked up and found that the palace of the Ximu Empire was completely different from the palace in the imperial capital of Great Xia, and it had a unique style. From a distance, there is a tall tower on each of the four corners of the palace, which pierces into the sky with sharp points, and looks like a corner tower, which is very exotic.
The imperial palace of Bactria was made up of crimson walls and glazed tile roofs, while the palace in front of them was made of pure white marble. Against the backdrop of the blue sky and the long yellow sand in the distance, this temple is as white as a fairy who is beautiful and dusty, revealing a cold and clear light, holy and beautiful.
The three of them admired it for a while, and then walked into the palace under the guidance of the guards. Although there was yellow sand everywhere outside, there were still a lot of green plants in the palace, and after Lin Yu and the others walked for a while, they saw a large area of clear and clear lake, shining dazzlingly in the sun.
"My goodness, this is too luxurious! If it weren't for the different architectural style, I would really think I would have returned to the imperial palace in Great Xia!" Zhou Weida was amazed as he looked around.
"Didn't you just go once? You were still arrested, as if you had been in the palace all along. Lin Yu joked with a smile, shook his head, and said to Lin Chen in a low voice: "I will be improvised, act when the opportunity arises, don't act rashly, see the other party's intentions." ”
Lin Chen walked forward without squinting, as if he hadn't heard what Lin Yu said, but nodded his head very slightly.
Lin Yu turned his head and found that the guards had led them to a palace. The exterior wall of the main hall is carved with flowers entwined with branches, also made of marble, exuding a white luster, and at the top of the main entrance hangs an elegant plaque, on which the dragon flies and the phoenix dances with three big characters - 'banquet parlor'.
"General Lin Yu, you have finally arrived! Liu has admired his name for a long time, and he has been waiting for a long time. Under the leadership of the guards, Lin Yu and the others walked into the banquet hall, only to see a man with a thin body, a soft complexion, and a faint evil spirit on his face, leading several guards to greet everyone.
"Hahaha! You're Lord Liu! By the way, I heard that Lord Liu has recently become the supervisor of the Ximu Empire, I should call you a prisoner, it's rude. Lin Yu arched his hand and smiled faintly.
I don't know why, Lin Yu didn't have a good impression of Liu Minde when he saw him for the first time, and he always felt that he was like a poisonous snake, with a cold breath. However, since it was the first time they met, Lin Yu still endured the discomfort in his heart and made a fool of himself with him.
"Where, where, General Lin Yu is really overrated. In fact, Queen Lu Fei has been unwell in recent days, and she has quite a lot of trust in Zaixia, so Zai Xia was able to be appointed as a prisoner. The corners of Liu Minde's mouth were slightly raised, revealing a stiff smile, and he continued: "By the way, I would like to thank General Lin Yu for relieving the siege of Demuxi City, if you hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid Demuxi would have fallen into the hands of the grassland tribe at this moment." ”
