Chapter 2: It is the demons that should be afraid

The royal capital barracks, inside a camp tent.

Several generals gathered together and were discussing the expedition.

And everyone's face is full of solemn sorrow.

"Who is the leader this time, do you know who it is?"

"Who?"

"The eldest prince Xu Qianqiu."

"What!"

Everyone's faces changed slightly.

A military general smiled bitterly and said: "The eldest prince, I remember correctly, although he is half an apprentice of the marshal, he has no experience in leading troops to fight." ”

"This is the will of His Majesty himself."

"Your Majesty...... Oh, I guess those old men in the DPRK are now thinking about how to escape, where can they still manage the front line. ”

Another said.

The rest of the people were silent.

Some discerning people can see it...... Xu Guo is dying.

"General Li, the eldest prince is here."

A soldier said.

"Let's go and meet the eldest prince."

Outside the barracks.

Dressed in a black robe, Xu Qianqiu, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, was leading a black horse, and many soldiers around him were looking at each other curiously.

A few generals walked out.

After seeing Xu Qianqiu, I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

The other party stood in front of them, with a tall figure, a pair of eyes, deep and bright, and between the eyebrows, a faint domineering spirit was revealed.

Just standing, an invisible coercion comes out of the body.

That breath.

They had seen it in one person.

Former Generalissimo of Xu Guo.

It was a kind of coercion accumulated by killing countless people!

And the coercion on Xu Qianqiu's body in front of them gave them a stronger feeling than the previous generalissimo, which shocked them incomparably.

"Didn't you say that the eldest prince had never been on the battlefield? How can there be such momentum, this aura is even more terrifying than the generalissimo. ”

"This big prince is not simple."

"As the Generalissimo once taught."

Several people looked at each other, all seeing the solemnity in each other's eyes.

Then.

Their eyes shifted from Xu Qianqiu's body to the black steed next to him, and they couldn't help but light up, and secretly admired the divine steed!

The hair is black and shiny, the physique is strong, the hooves are snow-white, and the eyes are bright.

"I've seen Your Highness."

Several people came to Xu Qianqiu to salute.

Xu Qianqiu waved his hand and said lightly: "Don't call me Your Highness in the future, there are no monarchs and ministers in the army, only soldiers, you can call me a general." ”

"Yes, General."

"Are the soldiers and horses all ordered?"

"General Hui, 50,000 foot soldiers, 10,000 crossbowmen, 7,000 cavalry and 3,000 elite soldiers, a total of 70,000 people, can set off at any time."

70,000 ......

Sounds like a lot of people.

But the general's face was full of solemnity.

Because what they have to fight against is demons, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses on the front line have been defeated, and their 70,000 people are really nothing.

Xu Qianqiu also knew that this number was too small.

But he didn't say anything, and said lightly: "I won't talk nonsense, the demons on the front line are pressing step by step, and if we are slow down for a moment, thousands of people will suffer, so let's go down and set off immediately." ”

"Yes."

The army marched out.

Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, majestic momentum.

Many of the people of the royal capital looked at this army with hope in their eyes.

"Gotta win."

"The eldest prince, you must return triumphantly."

The voices of the people were sent along the road.

And in the royal palace.

Hearing that Xu Qianqiu had already set off for King Xu, Xu Qianming and the others looked at each other, and then Xu Qianming took the lead in speaking: "Father, the eldest brother is both civil and military, and he will definitely be able to return triumphantly when he goes to fight against demons on this trip." ”

"I hope so."

"Father, I'll go back and take care of something first."

Xu Qianming said.

The army has already set off.

Now, it's time for him to go back and pack up and get ready to run.

"Your Majesty, there are also urgent matters to deal with in the old minister's family."

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to go back and pray for the eldest prince, so he will retire first."

One by one, the ministers retired.

It's the same as Xu Qianming.

I want to go back and pack my things quickly, ready to run away at any time.

King Xu looked at the hall that suddenly became deserted, and snorted coldly, "A group of waste, do you really think that the widow doesn't know your thoughts?" ”

He thought about it for a moment.

Then he said to an old eunuch next to him: "You go to the treasure house, pack up those treasures, listen to the widow's orders, and take them away at any time." ”

There was a hint of disdain in the old eunuch's eyes.

Are you embarrassed to say it to others?

Don't you also think about running away all the time?

He didn't say anything, but said respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

The entire imperial court, from the monarch and the prince to the minister of civil and military affairs, at this moment, was just thinking about packing up their wealth and fleeing at any time.

As for the land of Xuguo, the people ......

It seems to have nothing to do with them.

…………

Army Front.

Xu Qianqiu rode a black horse, and next to him were several generals.

After the exchange.

He also has a general understanding of these people, and one of the leaders is named Li Xuanfeng, not long ago, he was just a centurion.

But now he has become a lieutenant general in the army.

No way.

The other capable generals in the army had already been sent to the front line, and they were almost dead, and they had to take their places one by one.

If it weren't for this, Xu Qianqiu would not have been elected as a general.

Arguably.

The generals of this army were all selected on a temporary basis.

Its combat capability can be imagined.

Xu Qianqiu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Only this army can stop the demons to have ghosts."

The only thing he can rely on now is his own force.

"Vice General Li, you should know that when we go on this trip, we will die for a lifetime." Xu Qianqiu said lightly.

"yes, clear." When Li Xuanfeng heard this, he nodded, "Now many people in this Xu Kingdom can see that Xu Guo is about to die, and some smart people are afraid that they have already packed up and are ready to run away." ”

"Then why aren't you a smart man?"

"Why ......"

Li Xuanfeng's eyes were in a trance for a moment, and then he glanced at the royal capital behind him who was gradually moving away, and said, "If we also go like those smart people, what should the people of Xu Guo do?" ”

"What about our parents and brothers? This land is where we have lived for generations, and what should we do without it? ”

"Smart people, there is always a way to survive elsewhere, but we are stupid people, we are not going anywhere but this land."

"Because here...... It's home. ”

Xu Qianqiu couldn't help but chuckle, "It's stupid enough, but compared to those people in the court, you are so stupid and cute, I like it." ”

"Then why did the general come? You are the prince of the court, you can choose to leave like those smart people, is it because the old marshal died on the battlefield, do you want to avenge him? Li Xuanfeng's face was solemn.

Xu Qianqiu thought about it for a moment.

The figure of an old man with a resolute face came to mind.

It was Li Zheng, the generalissimo of Xu Guo.

The other party had taught the original owner, and he was half a teacher.

Later, I heard that the other party was killed by a one-eyed demon on the battlefield.

When this matter was brought back, the entire king was shocked, and it was also from that time that Xu Guo's army was defeated like a mountain, and forty-one cities were broken by demons in a row.

Xu Qianqiu retracted his thoughts, nodded, and simply followed Li Xuanfeng's words, "You are right, Marshal Li sacrificed his life for the country, he once taught me that the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband."

As the current prince, how can I sit idly by, whether it is for Marshal Li or for the people, I will go! ”

"The general's righteousness!"

Li Xuanfeng thought a little more highly of Xu Qianqiu.

"Are you afraid?"

Xu Qianqiu asked again.

Li Xuanfeng nodded, "I'm afraid, but if you want to go, is the general afraid?" ”

Xu Qianqiu chuckled lightly, and looked into the distance with a faint look, "It's the demon that should be afraid." ”
