Chapter 166: Above the Cloud Mountain
After deliberating, Long Ming returned to Dragon City with his personal guards and a small team.
Before leaving, Long Ming also instructed Long Fist about one thing, that is, about those big ships. When Long Ming came to attack Xiancheng, he only left more than 1,000 soldiers to guard the ship, and the rest of the sailors who remained on the ship were sailors with low fighting spirit. So Long Ming asked the Dragon Fist to send a team to guard the big ship so as not to be destroyed by the people of the Heart Empire.
Long Fist has long wanted to go and see those big ships, and now there is no bad situation in Xiancheng for the time being, and those big ships are not far from Xiancheng, so Long Fist decided to lead a team to take a look, and Xiancheng will be handed over to Sun Wei first.
There are six major provinces in the Heartfield Empire, which are the province of perseverance, benevolence, faith, loyalty, sincerity and love.
The province bordering the Minglong Empire where Xiancheng is located is the Perseverance Province, and the province where the Imperial Capital Concentration City is located is the Renxin Province. The border with the Empire is the Loyal Province, and Xinao is rushing to Yuncheng, the capital city of the Loyal Province, because the Devoted King Xinlu lives here.
Xinao must go to see him in person, otherwise it will be difficult for anyone to invite this old prince who is nearly eighty years old. There is a high mountain next to Cloud City, the climate on the mountain is pleasant, but there are clouds and mist all year round, it is called Cloud Mountain, and the city under the mountain is called Cloud City.
Xinao came to Yuncheng to look for the old prince Xinlu, but his son Xinlie told Xinao that the old prince had already moved to Yunshan. He hasn't been to visit for a long time, because Xinlu is now self-cultivation, he rarely sees people, and even his son has explained nothing important, don't bother.
However, this time His Majesty the Emperor came in person, of course Xinlie hurried to lead the way, and this time the old man had no reason to turn him away.
A large house was built on top of Yunshan, but it was usually only tended by a few gardeners.
When Xinlie arrived with pride, the door was open.
"Is the old prince inside?" Xinlie saw the door wide open, and asked the gardener who was sweeping the floor in front of the door in surprise, and he used to be closed.
"Lord Wang. The gardener said, "The old prince is here, and he knows that an important guest is coming today, so he specially asked me to open the door." ”
"Father knows that someone is coming, so does he know who it is?" asked Xinlie.
"The old prince didn't say it, but it must be a very important guest. "The gardener is still sweeping the floor, and these people have all been cultivated by Xinlu into this careless character.
"It's His Majesty the Emperor who is here, you go and report it. Xin Lie had long been annoyed with these gardeners, and every time he came to visit his father, they stopped him at the door, and said angrily.
"Ah!" the gardener was startled at this time, knelt down in a panic, and said, "Meet Your Majesty, I will go and report!"
"No need!" Xin Ao didn't embarrass him, and said: "The old prince must be busy with something, so he specially opened the door, and I will go in directly." ”
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty......" The gardener nodded hurriedly, not daring to get up.
Xinao walked in directly, first of all, there was a large courtyard, full of exotic flowers and plants.
At this time, Xinao saw the old man who thought that the white-haired man was practicing a set of boxing techniques, Xinao did not call him immediately, until the old man finished boxing, he applauded: "Old prince, good boxing skills!"
Although Xinlu is full of white hair, his face has a domineering spirit that is not angry and self-threatening.
Seeing that he didn't react, Xinlie hurriedly ran over and said, "Father, this is His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Old minister, see Your Majesty!" Xinlu hurriedly knelt down when he heard this.
"The old prince doesn't have to be formal, please get up!" said proudly.
"The old minister had already counted that there was a distinguished guest coming today, but I didn't expect it to be Your Majesty!"
"The old prince is worthy of being a figure on the battlefield back then, and he is really clever. Look at the boxing you just now, it seems that you are still old and strong. Xin Ao said.
"Your Majesty, you have won the award, I don't know what happened when you came all the way to Lao Chen's mountain?" Xinlu said.
"Old Prince, I didn't want to disturb your tranquility, but the empire is now facing an unprecedented crisis, and there is a shortage of talents. Xin Ao said.
"Your Majesty, as long as the empire needs it, the old minister will never give up! What kind of crisis did you encounter this time?" Xin Lu said hurriedly.
Xinao told Xinlu how to beat the dragon fist through the suspense pass, and asked Xinlu about the capture of Xiancheng.
"Your Majesty, do you want me to re-lead the army and drive out the Long Family's army?" said Xinlu after hearing this.
"Yes, old prince. I am wounded, and the generals such as the Blood Sea have suffered heavy defeats one after another, and I have no confidence, so I can only ask you to come out!" said Xinao.
"Your Majesty, I won't tell you anything, I came to the mountains to cultivate, in fact, in order to improve my cultivation, and then go out for the empire until the empire dominates the world!" Xinlu said.
"Haha, that's great! With you on the horse, we will definitely be able to completely eradicate the Dragon Fist brothers this time!" Xinao said happily.
At this time, it was not only the Imperial Family of the Xinye Empire who was thinking about the Dragon Fist, but the Imperial City of the Ming Dragon Empire was also paying attention to him at all times.
After Princess Ming Yao received the battle report of the Dragon Fist capturing Xiancheng, she became restless, worried that the Long Family Army would develop too strongly, and was afraid that the Dragon Fist would be alone and would be unable to protect herself from the Heart Empire.
I specially asked Mr. Hao Cheng to analyze what to do now.
"With the strength of only one province, the Dragon Fist is fighting alone in the Heart Empire, can it still win in the future?" Princess Ming Yao asked.
"Your Highness, why are you worried about this, do you want to let the armies of other provinces go to support the Dragon Fist?" Hao Cheng said.
"Are we just going to leave him alone?" Ming Yao was faintly worried about this person in her heart.
"Your Highness, now that the Hanging Sound Pass has been recovered, and the Long Family Army and the Xinye Army have both been defeated, it is time for us to get rid of the Long Family. As long as we send a large army to garrison the Hanging Yin Pass and order the Dragon Fist to continue attacking the Xinye Empire, then he will be defeated if he has no supply of food and grass for personnel. If he wants to go back to Dragon City, we can charge him with defeat and take away his military power, and his army must have suffered heavy casualties at that time, if he doesn't admit his guilt, we will guard the Hanging Sound Pass and not let him in!" Hao Cheng said.
"In doing this, what if he surrenders to the Ambition Empire and helps the Ambition Empire fight us?" Ming Yao said loudly.
"Your Highness, with the character of the Dragon Fist, he will never surrender, and when the time comes, the Heart Ambition Empire will have hated him to the bone after many battles with him, and will not accept his surrender. Hao Cheng said.
"Hey, okay, then we'll send troops to garrison Hanging Yin Pass now?" Ming Yao said.
"No, no, Your Highness, now is not the time, we will send the army over when the Dragon Fist and the Heart Ambition Empire are inseparable, and the army is really alone. Hao Chengdao.
"Okay, that's it for now, you can step down. Ming Yao closed her eyes and became even more upset.
