Chapter 633: The West Exercise Regiment
After looking at Yang Cheng carefully, Gao Benrong said in a deep voice: "It has been ten days since the selection of the Western Exercise Regiment, and tens of thousands of people have been eliminated in these ten days, and among the eighteen people who have been selected now, each of them is one in a million warriors.
You suddenly want to join now, is that fair to other people? β
Yang Chengdao: "I'm sorry, I'm not from Hojing, so I learned the news a little late."
But when I heard that His Majesty wanted to recruit the Western Exercise Regiment, he also set off for Hojing as soon as possible, but I didn't expect it to be late.
However, His Majesty's recruitment of the Western Exercise Regiment must be based on strength, and there is a long way to go, and there may be some dangerous crises encountered along the way.
As long as I can outperform this one and prove that I am stronger than him, a warrior who is one in a million, will I be able to join the Western Exercise Regiment? β
Gao Benrong pondered for a moment, looked at the strong man who had already won, and said in a deep voice: "You come over to compete with him, don't worry, even if you lose, this hundred gold is yours." β
The strong man looked unhappy.
He has already won, but now he has jumped out of a troublemaker, although he does not delay receiving his bounty, but he is still very unhappy.
Rubbing his fists, the strong man raised his head at Yang Cheng and snorted coldly: "Boy, hurry up if you want to do it, Uncle Ben doesn't have time to play with you here!" β
As soon as the words fell, Yang Cheng's figure had already appeared directly in front of the strong man, and he blasted it out with a punch.
It was such a simple punch, and the strong man had obviously felt Yang Cheng's move, but his speed and strength were so fast that he couldn't even fight back!
Struggling to stand up, the strong man blushed and defended, "I'm not ready!" I've just fought someone, and I'm still a little ......."
As he spoke, the strong man himself couldn't speak, and his face turned red.
Not to mention Gao Benrong, even the people present can see that the gap between the strength of these two people is too big.
Gao Benrong looked at Yang Cheng deeply, and said in a deep voice: "Do you know that once the Xixing regiment is confirmed, it will not be changed, otherwise it will be a big crime of bullying the king."
Although there is a lot of gold, it is possible that this line of work will have to take his life. β
Yang Cheng said in a deep voice: "Since I have chosen to join the mission, I will not regret it. β
Gao Benrong said in a deep voice: "Okay, follow me to see Your Majesty, the mission is ready, and we will leave tomorrow."
By the way, what's your name? β
"Yang Cheng."
Gao Benrong raised his eyebrows slightly, he had never heard of this surname.
The surname Yang first began in the Yang Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period, which is earlier than now.
However, most of the so-called strange people in the Western Exercise Regiment were actually commoners and even slave-born guys, either like that strong man, with amazing talent themselves, or guys who had learned some messy magic.
Gao Benrong took Yang Cheng and the strong man to the palace, and the other selected Xixing regiments were also waiting nearby, Gao Benrong asked Yang Cheng and the strong man to wait in front of the palace, and he went to call the others over.
"My name is Cheng Kuo, your strength is very strong, Fang Cai I can't afford to lose.
Even if I'm at my peak, I'm no match for you. β
The strong man Cheng Kuo took the initiative to come to Yang Cheng's side and greeted him with a little apology.
There don't seem to be so many people in the Zhou Dynasty this week, and this Chengkou is also honest and cute, and he even took the initiative to apologize.
Yang Chengyi waved his hand and said, "Don't be polite, I'm late, and I steal your limelight."
By the way, how much do you know about this Western Mission? β
Cheng Kuo scratched his head and said, "I only know that I have to go to West Kunlun to send a gift to the Queen Mother of the West in the Far West for Your Majesty."
The road is long and dangerous, but as long as you go, you can give platinum, and when we return, we will become His Majesty's guards.
My father was a blacksmith among the hundred craftsmen, so I could only make iron, but if I wanted my son to become a nobleman, I had to fight for this opportunity. β
Most people in this era are born nobles, and as long as you don't do those things like rebellion, you will still be a nobleman in this life.
But it was very difficult for the poor and even the slaves to turn over.
It wasn't until Chen Sheng and Wu Guang of Daze Township that the prince and prince would have a kind of Xiangning, that the unyielding will was truly instilled into the blood of all Chinese descendants.
While the two were talking, Gao Benrong had already brought the other people from the Xixing regiment to come.
Some of these people are as powerful as Cheng Kuo, and some of them have strange aura, and they obviously have other supernatural powers.
Some are even old people and children, in short, a bunch of people in strange shapes.
After Gao Benrong reported the report, everyone entered the palace to meet Mu Tianzi.
After returning from Kunlun Yaochi, Mu Tianzi built a palace in Nanzheng, which was a small-scale relocation of the capital.
But in the past two years, I don't know why, Mu Tianzi moved the capital back to Haojing, and even sealed the entire Nanzheng, not allowing anyone to enter it.
So at this time, the Hokyo Palace is actually a little dilapidated and quaint, after all, it has been used for many years.
Entering the palace, Gao Benrong stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, the selection of the Western Exercise Regiment has been completed, and it is expected that there will be eighteen people. β
Yang Cheng maintained a bowed bowing posture, but he couldn't see Mu Tianzi's figure.
In front of the palace is a curtain, even the color is dark, and there is not the slightest shadow in sight.
An old and frail voice came from within: "Go today!" Now, immediately! β
Gao Benrong was stunned for a moment, but still bowed down and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!" β
When the words fell, Gao Benrong said to Yang Cheng and the others: "You go to the school to assemble, and then set off immediately." β
After Yang Cheng and the others arrived at the school grounds, an old man walked up to Yang Cheng and asked with a grin, "This little brother is Yang Cheng who defeated Cheng Kuo?" β
Cheng Kuo was slightly dissatisfied and said, "You said Brother Yang, what did you do by lifting me out?" β
The old man smiled: "Because this little brother Yang's only record is to defeat you with one move, this matter has spread throughout the Western Exercise Regiment." β
Cheng Kuo scolded angrily: "Who is so broken-mouthed! β
The old man whispered, "Who else will there be besides Lord Gao Benrong?" β
As soon as he heard this, Cheng Kuo immediately fell silent.
Yang Chengdao: "Brother Chengkuo is also very strong, and he also fought with someone just now, I also took advantage of some advantages, dare to ask the old man?" β
The old man touched his mess and said, "Old Uncle Zhuang is a craftsman who studied under Yanshi. β
Yang Cheng was surprised: "It turned out to be a disciple of Yanshi, and he has admired him for a long time, but why did Yanshi's disciple join the Western Exercise Group for a hundred gold?" β
Uncle Zhuang smiled bitterly and said, "Yanshi's disciples also have to eat.
Originally, I was just an ordinary craftsman with some talent, and the teacher followed Mu Tianzi to Hojing before accepting me as a disciple.
After following the teacher for a period of time, the teacher was ordered by Mu Tianzi to build the Nanzheng Palace.
But after the palace was built, the teacher was always in a haunted spirit, and after a short time, he left a few words and went to travel the world.
My wife and children are all here, so naturally I can't accompany the teacher with me.
There are special royal craftsmen in the palace, they don't like the teacher, and after the teacher leaves, they began to exclude me, and some of the royal utensils can't be built at all, so I can only make a living by making some gadgets for some ministers and nobles.
The Xixing regiment has a reward of 100 gold, and I can't earn this money even if I am a craftsman for ten lifetimes.
My teacher, Yanshi, came from the West, where there were many ancient beasts and all kinds of unimaginable dangers.
We craftsmen can do some strange and clever skills, but we still have to rely on Brother Yang to deal with those dangers head-on, and I will ask Brother Yang to take care of them when the time comes. β
Only then did Yang Cheng understand what Uncle Zhuang meant by coming over to set up with him, and he originally wanted to ask for protection.
Looking at the other party's physique, he knew that he was definitely not good at close combat, and in the Western Exercise Regiment, the three hundred elites would definitely not care about him, so he could only find a reliable cultivator who was good at physical body to protect himself.
Then since you want to choose, you must choose the strongest one, Yang Cheng can defeat Cheng Kuo in one move, the strength is obvious, who will he choose if he is not chosen?
Yang Cheng didn't refuse this kind of thing, he didn't have any reliable intelligence information here, and he was of course very happy to have a local who was willing to come over.
"Well, Mr. Zhuang don't worry, if you encounter a critical moment, I will definitely protect you as soon as possible."
Uncle Zhuang smiled and said, "Then thank you Brother Yang." β
At this time, the gate of the school field was pushed open, and Gao Benrong walked in with three hundred elites, but the three hundred elites were still surrounded by a huge carriage, pulled by eight horses.
The carriage contained a huge cube about ten feet in size, covered with animal skins, and looked down on what was in it.
The three hundred elites were guarding around the carriage and waiting for them.
At first, Yang Cheng thought that these three hundred elites were used by the mission to support the faΓ§ade, but now it seems that this is not the case, and they are specially for escorting things.
Yang Cheng asked in a low voice, "Does Mr. Uncle Zhuang know what is this?" β
Uncle Zhuang shook his head and said, "I don't know, but it is said that this time His Majesty sent a delegation to meet the Queen Mother of the West in the Yaochi of West Kunlun to meet the Queen Mother of the West, and it should be a gift for the Queen Mother of the West, right?"
The three hundred elites are His Majesty's core guards, and the horses pulling the carts are all the descendants of the eight horses who traveled thousands of miles every day in the past. β
Yang Cheng put his fingers together and pointed at the center of his eyebrows, and the glow of the heavenly eyes bloomed slightly, and others didn't even notice it.
Under the light of the Heavenly Eye, Yang Cheng looked at the things in it through the animal skin.
It turned out to be a cube made of bronze, carved with various patterns such as animal patterns and moires, as well as some strange symbols.
The most bizarre thing is that this bronze cube is sealed, and there are no gaps on each side, so how can this thing be opened?
