Volume 1 Origin Chapter 300 The Eight Kings of the Barbarians
Hearing this, Xiang Yun couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, it turned out that the battle between the Fengyun Kingdom and the barbarians had such an inside story, although he was the prince of the king, Xiang Yun never liked to read the classics and annals of various countries, and he knew very little about countries other than the Fengyun Country.
I don't know the strength of the barbarians, but I heard that the barbarians are born with mad blood, and their bodies are as strong as cloud beasts, and they are a natural fighting nation!
Now it seems that the barbarians were able to start a war with a super dynasty like the Western Xia Dynasty, and even if they were defeated in the end, they did not die, which shows the strength of the barbarians.
It turned out that what the Fengyun Country faced at the beginning was only a tenth of the barbarians' strength of eleven or twelve, but now the barbarians have recovered their vitality, if the whole country invades the south......
"Hiss......"
Xiang Yun was a little hard to imagine this happening, especially since that man was seriously injured, who else in Fengyun Country dared to face the barbarians, and who could stop their iron hooves from trampling!
Xiang Yun believed that if he was given another period of time to grow up, these two martial arts geniuses might not be able to surpass their fathers, but now, they obviously hadn't grown to the point where they could lead troops to fight against the barbarians.
Xiao Ding saw that Xiang Yun's face had become a little ugly, so he reached out and patted Xiang Yun's shoulder and said, "Brother Wei, although I don't want to say it, I still have to persuade you, you'd better not go to Hancheng Pass to join the army." ”
"I have found out through some channels that some time ago, the turmoil in Hucheng is probably related to the barbarian border army, and now in Hucheng, even the defenders of Fengyun Country are in danger and dare not patrol in Hucheng, if you join the army, you have no relationship in the army, once you are arranged to patrol in Hucheng, it will be dangerous. ”
Xiang Yun couldn't help but show a look of shock on his face, "Could it be that these barbarians are so bold that they want to blatantly tear up the agreement, and even the defenders of Tiger City dare to move?"
Xiao Ding smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Wei, what's the difference between blatantly acting and acting in private, do you know who the current barbarian border guards are?"
"Who is it?"
"One of the eight kings of the barbarians, the seventh king Andre!"
"Eight Great Kings?" Xiang Yun had never heard of any barbarian Eight Great Kings.
Xiao Ding explained to him that in addition to the barbarian emperor, he also had eight brothers who helped him guard the barbarian territory, known as the eight kings of the barbarians.
These eight people are all the top masters in the barbarians, they can fight well, they are brave and invincible, and they are the eight barbarian generals who fought for the barbarian emperor in the south and the north!
At the beginning of the war with the Western Xia Dynasty, the eight kings, six kings, and four kings were all killed in battle, and only the seven kings Andre, the five kings Jufeng, the three kings Tunie, the two kings Gemuang, and the first king Yajiang remained!
Among them, the seventh king Andre was the supreme general of the southern invasion of Fengyun Country that year, it is rumored that he and Xiang Lingtian had a battle outside the Hancheng Pass, the two fought fiercely for a day and a night, Andre was finally defeated, and the barbarian army led by him could not withstand the crazy impact of the snow wolf horse, and finally retreated from the Hancheng Pass.
Such a sensitive person, now that he has been arranged by the barbarian emperor to the northern border of Fengyun Country again, the subtlety of the time is self-evident, and the ambition of the barbarian tribe to invade the south is already obvious!
"Brother Wei, the big war is about to start......" Xiao Ding poured himself a cup with a sad face.
"This time I sold these herbs, I also decided, the Xiao family firm will no longer operate the business in Hucheng from now on, all the shop personnel will be evacuated, if Brother Wei is not willing to join the army, you can wait in the customs for a few days, and then return south with my convoy?"
Xiao Ding looked at Xiang Yun and waited for his reply.
Xiang Yun was silent for a moment, and finally shook his head firmly, "There is no turning back when you open the bow, since you have come to Hancheng Pass, there is no reason to turn back, thank you Uncle Xiao for your kindness." ”
When Xiao Ding heard this, his eyes suddenly brightened, staring at Xiang Yun deadly, as if he wanted to see through the young man in front of him, he seemed to be timid and cowardly, but at this moment, he released an indomitable fearless momentum.
However, Xiang Yun's next sentence suddenly made the head of the Xiao family have a speechless impulse.
"I decided, I will go to Hanchengguan to be a firehead army, I don't have to worry about food and clothing, and I don't have to go to the battlefield, which is most suitable for people like me who are afraid of death. ”
"Uh...... It's not too early, Brother Wei should go back to the room and rest early, I'll leave first. ”
At that moment, Xiao Ding left drunk, but Xiang Yun was sitting alone in the carriage, with a lot of thoughts in his heart, and learned more about Hanchengguan from Xiao Ding, his heart became heavier and heavier, and it seemed that the situation was more serious than he imagined.
At this moment, he couldn't help but think of the man who was far away on the southern border of the Fengyun Country, who was assassinated by four Tianyun masters and was seriously injured, and he didn't know what his situation was.
He thought about it again, in the Hancheng Pass, the stupid big man who used to be fierce and vicious, and loved to wave his fists at himself, with this guy's temperament, when he encountered such a complicated situation, I am afraid he would also be anxious.
Now there is a barbarian Seven Kings 'Andrey' at the border, this is a top master who can fight with his father, but I'm afraid that the pressure on this guy is even greater.
"Whew......!"
Xiang Yun took a deep breath, and did not go to the post room room, but directly sat cross-legged on the carriage and cultivated, this was the first time in his heart, because his family and country were eager to improve his cultivation and power, and now he was still too weak......
It's another day of non-stop travel, and it's another nightfall!
In a guest room on the third floor of the post station, Xiao Ding's father and daughter were discussing at the table, and Xiao Ding said to his daughter Xiao Ling'er.
"Ling'er, we will be able to arrive at Hancheng Pass and enter Hucheng early tomorrow morning, and then Dad will go to Gesen Trading House to find Igor, you will take all the brothers to our pharmacy first, and store the goods in the warehouse." ”
"Dad, I'll go with you to Gesen Firm, now the situation in Tiger City is turbulent, Gesen Firm is a barbarian firm, it's too dangerous for you to go alone. Xiao Ling'er was a little relieved of her father.
Xiao Ding waved his hand and said, "Eh...... We have been doing business with Igor for so many years, and we are all friends, he will not harm me, you don't have to worry, not to mention that your father and I go alone, if you ask for money, if you want a life, they will naturally not embarrass me. ”
Xiao Ling'er wanted to persuade, but Xiao Ding interrupted Xiao Ling'er's words.
"Listen to Dad, now the goods are the key, you must escort the medicinal herbs to the store safely, and when I bring Igor's people, let's trade in our own territory to ensure that nothing goes wrong, once the transaction is completed, everyone will immediately leave for Qingfeng County." ”
"This ...... All right. Xiao Ling'er saw that her father couldn't persuade her, so she had to nod her head and agree.
"By the way, Ling'er, when you get to Hancheng Pass, you can get some more coils for Brother Wei, I see that his bags are gone, and he is penniless, if he doesn't have silver taels on his body, he will definitely not be able to go up and down in the barracks, and he will definitely suffer a loss at that time." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Ling'er shook her head categorically and said, "Hmph...... Dad, I won't listen to you about this, when I get to Hancheng Pass, I want this guy to get out of the house immediately, he has been let eat and drink for nothing along the way, and before leaving, he still wants to take a coil from us, dreaming!"
"Ling'er ......"
"Dad, I resolutely don't agree to this matter, and you must not have any compassion, this kind of person is not worthy of sympathy!" Xiao Ling'er's attitude was extremely tough, and there was no room for compromise.
"Knock knock......" At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?"
"In the ...... of Wei Xiaobao"
said that Cao Cao Cao was there, and Xiang Yun actually came outside the guest room.
Xiao Ling'er opened the door, glanced at Xiang Yun standing at the door, and said with an unkind face: "What are you doing here?"
Xiang Yun said indifferently: "I am here to thank you in person, Uncle Xiao and Miss Xiao have taken care of them all the way, and when they arrive at Hanchengguan tomorrow, they will be separated from the two, and Wei is very reluctant......"
"Hmph, we don't have the slightest reluctance!" Xiao Ling'er immediately said angrily.
Xiang Yun came to say goodbye, Xiao Ding naturally greeted him warmly, and regardless of Xiao Ling'er's eyes, he took the initiative to take out dozens of taels of silver tickets and let Xiang Yun's subordinates use them to make connections when he joined the army.
Xiang Yun had a good impression of Xiao Ding, and felt that this person was warm-hearted and sincere, so he said to himself in his heart, "Okay, save your lives, accept these silver taels, even if the two don't owe each other." ”
Xiang Yun finally accepted the silver tael, Xiao Ding asked Xiao Ling'er to send Xiang Yun back to the guest room, and walking on the road, Xiao Ling'er gritted her silver teeth and said in a cold tone: "You'd better get out of here early tomorrow!"
When Xiang Yun heard this, he smiled indifferently: "It seems that Miss Xiao still has some prejudices against me." ”
"I can't talk about prejudices, I just look at you very unpleasantly. Xiao Ling'er narrowed her bright eyes, and her voice was extremely cold.
"Oh...... In this case, eldest lady, you can look at me a few more times, maybe it will be pleasing to the eye, but unfortunately, the eldest lady can look at me for a short time, you have to cherish it, why don't you come into my room, I will let you see enough, eldest lady?"
Xiang Yun smiled playfully and winked at Xiao Ling'er.
"Hmph, shameless!"
Xiao Ling'er's heart was on fire, her chest rose and fell violently, and she couldn't wait to draw her sword and finish off the person in front of her with a sword.
In the end, she calmed the anger in her heart, cursed in her heart, turned away, and at the same time, sighed in her heart, how could there be such a brazen man in the world!
At this time, she couldn't help but think of the figure that fell from the sky in the canyon of Erwang Mountain that night.
The blue sword light like wind and lightning, the ethereal dust, and the unpredictable body style, everything is so amazing, but it is gathered in that person, and the back of the moonlit night canyon drifting away has left an indelible imprint in Xiao Ling'er's heart.
This man who fell from the sky, who is he, those eyes are really good-looking, if all the men in the world are like him, how good would it be, can I meet him again......
Thinking of this, for some reason, Xiao Ling'er, who was still angry before, couldn't help blushing her cheeks, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
This is the first time Xiao Ling'er has had this strange feeling in more than ten years, she doesn't know why, but she subconsciously feels a little shy.
She hurriedly looked around, and saw that no one saw it, so she quickened her pace, ran back to her room, closed the door, Xiao Ling'er felt a little deer in her heart, and then there was some resentment and loss, maybe she would never see him again in her life.
And Xiang Yun, who had teased Xiao Ling'er, felt quite comfortable at the moment, returned to the room, and immediately sat cross-legged on the bed to cultivate, and now his cloud power and divine power have almost completely recovered.
And after a series of battles, the cultivation actually climbed again, and there were faint signs of reaching the peak of the seven clouds, which made Xiang Yun a little excited, if he could step into the realm of yellow clouds and release the cloud power, he estimated that his strength would be even greater, he had to seize all the time to cultivate, in order to break through as soon as possible!
Once you break through the realm of yellow clouds, you may be able to truly exert the power of the first form of the Great Songyang Divine Palm, and you don't have to worry about the embarrassing situation of one palm being swung out and the cloud power is exhausted!
......
At ten o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, the convoy took the first step to the last city in Hancheng Pass, 'Sanyang City'.
The atmosphere in the city is quite lively, the sound of selling is endless along the way, there are many wine shops and shops, and everyone does not stay, cross Sanyang City, go to the north city gate, go out of the north gate of Sanyang City, and face the cold city pass.
