Chapter Twenty-Three: Hunting in the West Mountains

On the third day of autumn, the weather turned slightly cooler, and it had been three days since the princes entered Yong'an.

Emperor Cao Xun of Wei suddenly issued an edict and ordered the princes to go outside the city of Yong'an and hunt in the western mountains.

In the Yong'an Palace, Xiao Chen took Xue Wuxing, Wu Liang and Sun Simiao and rode out of Yong'an.

Needless to say, bringing Wu Liang with him, after all, it has been a tacit understanding of decades of embarrassment, and Sun Simiao is a person given by Cao Xun.

It's Xue Wuxing, Xiao Chen has only seen him for the second time since he was born.

This is a burly man in silver armor, about thirty years old, his face is covered with wind and frost, from beginning to end, Xue Wuxing, who was sitting on horseback, never said a word, his eyes were as indifferent as water, giving Xiao Chen a feeling that he would not blink even if the sky collapsed!

The first time I heard this name, it was in a letter from my father in Kyoto, saying that Guo Ci, the old commander of the Black Armor Army, died of illness, and the Black Armor Army was handed over to a descendant named Xue Wuxing, after all, he was the next King of Yong'an, and these things had to be explained to Xiao Chen sooner or later.

In the letter, the old prince, who has always been not good at words, spent most of the time to boast about the new commander of the Black Armor Army! It's basically about how to be loyal and how to be faithful. Warriors!

According to the words in the old prince's letter, Xue Wuxing is also a master of about one grade.

After all, it is out of the impregnable Yong'an City, and Xiao Chen, who has not achieved "miraculous skills", has to bring a reliable bodyguard.

On the wide and flat mountain road, three horses galloped, bringing up thick smoke and dust.

Wu Liang whipped him fiercely, and came to Xiao Chen on a horse, and whispered:

"Lord Wang, it has only been five or six days since I went to Qianguo, and during this time, there has been no action from all sides, and at this time, Your Majesty suddenly ordered a hunt in the West Mountain, I am afraid that there is no deep meaning in it!"

Xiao Chen glanced at Wu Liang, shrugged his shoulders and said:

"They are intriguing and deceitful, and they have nothing to do with me?"

Wu Liang still had some apprehension and said:

"After all, it's in the realm of Yong'an, I'm afraid that something will really happen, and it won't end well......"

"Afraid of what?" Xiao Chen puffed up his chest and said, "It's really forcing me to be anxious, I'll just like the goblin in the garden said, click and cut through the mess." ”

Xiao Chen looked at Xue Wudaunt, who was silent, and said, "Commander Xue, can we cut off the heads of those five major princes with our five thousand black armor troops?" ”

Xue Wuxing sat on horseback, holding the hilt of the knife in one hand, his solemn face showed a contemplative look, and then the look in his eyes gradually changed from calm to fanatical: "Don't you cut Bai Qi?" ”

Looking at the killing intent in Xue Wuxing's eyes and the frenzy that burned like fire, Xiao Chen understood that the Great Commander took his words seriously.

Judging from his appearance, when the time comes, Xue Wuxing may not only want to cut off the heads of the five princes, but also the generalissimo who moves the world, and also wants to chop it off!

Xiao Chen hurriedly waved his hand, not daring to really let Xue Wuxing make a move.

Although he hasn't read any classics, he still understands the truth of cold lips and teeth.

Now that Cao Xun is weak, he naturally wants to win him over Xiao Chen, if the princes and princes of Wei are gone, no matter how amiable Cao Xun is at the moment, the next one to be stabbed will definitely be him Xiao Chen.

The world is as black as a crow, and none of the people in this group of people in Yong'an are good birds!

What he wants to do is nothing more than to defend the acre and three points of land in Yong'an when the wind and rain are shaking, as for how others want to fight, he doesn't want to care!

Deliberately holding the reins to slow down the Pegasus under the seat, Xiao Chen leaned over to Xue Wuxing's side and whispered:

"Fearless, you give me the bottom, what kind of strength are you a few grades, if you really encounter a hard stubble, this king will have a number in his heart!"

In the face of King Yong'an's inquiry, the commander of the golden and black armor army couldn't help but show a solemn look on his face, and he lowered his head to think for a while, and then said in an unprecedented voice:

"Lord Wang, there is no grade in the army, only how many people have been killed, and how many knives have been killed, but the last general has slashed and killed a martial artist who claims to have stepped into the first product three times, and the strength to come to the first product is there!"

Obediently, slashing and killing a first-class martial artist with three swords, Xiao Chen studied everywhere, but he didn't know that he had a peerless master under him.

Han Feng is indeed very strong, but when he broke the six armors with his sword, he was also slightly injured, and he cried to Xiao Chen and Shi Cai in private about how tragic the inside story of that battle was.

Looking at Xue Wuxing's three-knife slashing and killing of a first-grade martial artist with such a light and breezy appearance, Xiao Chen reacted, at least he was also a leader in the first-grade, and no matter how bold he was, it was not impossible to fight Han Feng.

In an instant, Xiao Daxuan was full of pride, this is to take Xue Wuxing out to rob the girl, to see who dares to save the beauty of the uninteresting hero, I have to let Xue Wuxing take out the long knife on his waist and stab him in hundreds of transparent holes!

Three fast horses galloped through the mountains and forests, and soon came to the foot of the West Mountain.

As far as the eye can see, the foot of the mountain has long been armored, a vacant space of hundreds of square meters is enclosed in the middle, a high platform is temporarily set up in the vacant space, a golden dragon chair is placed on the platform, Cao Xun sits on the dragon chair, below the high platform, six wooden seats are placed on both sides.

Five of the princes have already taken their seats.

The general Bai Qi was wearing a suit of armor, holding a spear, and standing beside Cao Xun with a cold expression.

Xiao Chen came to the open space, first saluted Cao Xun slightly, and then sat on the empty seat on the side.

His eyes swept over the five princes present, and behind each of them stood two burly men with a deep aura, who looked like the accompanying guards.

All of a sudden, Xiao Chen had a sense of pride, not to mention the strength or not, at least he had an advantage in numbers, not to mention that there was such a beauty as Sun Simiao, wouldn't that be more majestic than those princes?

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Cao Xun coughed lightly, and then slowly got up and said:

"You Aiqing, guarding the border passes, hard work and high achievements, are all loyal to my Wei State to protect the country and security, I heard that you are all good archers and horses, but I don't know who has higher martial arts, I thought about it, so I arranged this hunt in the West Mountain."

The princes bowed their hands slightly, and Cao Xun suddenly took out a long sword from behind his back:

"This sword is called Zhongjun, it is one of the six famous swords of the sword-casting master Ouyang Guan a hundred years ago, and this color head is this Zhongjun sword!"

Seeing the long sword in Cao Xun's hand, the eyes of the princes present changed.

Ouyang Guan has cast countless swords in his life, especially for the six swords of breaking the army, serving the country, Qingfeng, bright moon, mountains and seas, and loyal monarchs.

After Ouyang Guan's death, the six famous swords in his hand also fell to all parts of the world, and later the world moved. After the chaos and the ten kingdoms left only four countries, the "Zhongjun" and "Shanhai" among the six famous swords fell into the hands of Wei.

At the beginning, the Xia State invaded the fifteen cities of the Wei State, and in order to redeem the cities during the peace talks, Cao Xun had to exchange the "mountains and seas", one of the six famous swords. Since then, there have been rumors of one sword and fifteen cities, and six swords for one country!

Now Cao Xun took out the only remaining Zhongjun Sword as a color head, which suddenly made the breathing of the five princes become slightly short.

The appearance of the major princes was taken into Cao Xun's eyes, and he glanced at Bai Qi on the side, Cao Xun smiled slightly, raised his head and looked at the scorching sun in the sky:

"It's noon now, and when the sun sets, whoever has the most prey in his hands will be the winner, and the next master of this loyal sword, now, let the princes set off!"

The six princes hurriedly arched their hands and were about to leave here, but when they saw Bai Qi, who had been silent on the stage, he suddenly said loudly:

"Everyone, wait!"

Everyone glanced at each other, and then turned to look at Bai Qi on the high platform in confusion, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in the general's gourd.

With a sneer, Bai Qi turned his head to look at Cao Xun on the throne and said:

"Your Majesty, Bai Qi is not talented, and he also likes the Zhongjun Sword very much, can Your Majesty be gracious and let Bai Qi also participate in it?"

Bai Qi's voice was very loud, holding a gun in his right hand, and his posture was straight, without any respect!

The five princes were all shocked by Bai Qi's disrespectful behavior, only Xiao Chen clasped his hands in front of his chest, squinting and not saying a word.

He has seen a lot of this situation in Kyoto, saying that it is a request, but saying that it is actually forcing Cao to comply!

But Xiao Chen couldn't figure it out, no matter how precious this loyal sword was, how could it impress the general who actually already owned the world?

Xiao Chen really doesn't have the talent in this area, just like why Cao Xun used the Zhongjun Sword to set up this trip to hunt for gambling, Xiao Chen couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time, so he simply didn't want to.

Anyway, he just rode a horse into Xishan to take a stroll, in case the interest came, he would inevitably pick up Sun Simiao's seductive figure and play with it, but he would never really compete with that group of princes with outstanding martial arts.

Anyway, he has already memorized a name, Xiao Chen is not afraid of being embarrassed!

On the high platform, Cao Xun looked at Bai Qi angrily, and under the dragon robe, his fists were already clenched.

Bai Qi turned a blind eye, stepped forward again, and smashed the spear in his hand on the wooden platform, and the originally fragile wooden platform was instantly smashed out of a hole by the handle.

"Your Majesty, I'm asking you, do you agree or not!"

Bai Qi spoke again, this time, regardless of the tone or action, it was all Chiguoguo's compulsion!

"Bai Qi, do you want to deceive the king?" Behind Cao Xun, Han Feng suddenly pulled out his long sword, pointed it at Bai Qi, and asked coldly.

Bai Qi rolled his eyelids, glanced at Han Feng with a little disdain, and said:

"Commander Han, which eye did you see me deceiving the king?"

With a touch of cruelty on his gloomy face, Bai Qi said lightly:

"If I am the commander, I shouldn't be a hero at this time, the general's martial arts are indeed the best in Kyoto, but it doesn't mean that the people around you are as brave and invincible as the commander."

"You ......" Han Feng, who heard Bai Qi's voice, showed a touch of panic and anger on his face, if Bai Qi really dared to touch his family, then Han Feng must be in a situation where Bai Qi and Bai Qi are endless.

"That's it!" Finally, Cao Xun, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.

Looking at Bai Qi who was cold-eyed in front of him, Cao Xun smiled, stood up and said:

"Since General Bai has this Yaxing, I am naturally happy to see it, so I will allow you to participate in this hunting competition!"

Bai Qi's cold face finally showed a seemingly kind smile.

"In this way, then Bai Qi has thanked Your Majesty!"
