Chapter 400: Old Acquaintances
After a bumpy ride, the convoy finally arrived at the provincial capital of Xunbai Province...... Sunset City, from a distance, this splendid city is particularly majestic under the arch of the steel parapet, the banner of the Boxer Kingdom on the city is connected, and you can faintly see the rows of defenders on the steel parapet, as well as ballistas, stone cannons, trebuchets and other equipment.
The wheels of the carriage were still squeaking and squeaking, and the body of the traveler on the carriage was also shaking, Lin Muyu leaned his back on the inside of the wooden carriage, closed his eyes, and his whole body was full of fighting energy, he didn't know what was waiting for him, but it was definitely not a good thing, and he could even feel that Lu Zhan, who was a cultivator of the Holy Heaven Realm in front of him, had bad intentions towards him, probably because he killed Bu Hai, who was also a disciple of Luo Lan, right?
"Rain Lord, Sunset City is about to arrive. Ding Xi smiled slightly.
"Hmm. Lin Muyu was silent.
"What is Commander Rain thinking?" Ding Xi asked.
"I'm thinking about ......" Lin Muyu groaned and said, "I'm thinking if I decided to surrender before, hand over the military power, and let the Gentian Battalion disarm all the weapons, Marshal Ding Xi would order to kill my five thousand Gentian Battalion brothers." ”
"Hahaha......"
Ding Xi couldn't help laughing, a hint of color flashed across his face, and said, "What did Commander Yu say, I, Ding Xi, am not Long Qianlin, and Commander Rain is not Feng Jixing, aren't you?"
"Oh, yes. Lin Muyu smiled slightly and didn't speak again.
......
Soon after, the convoy arrived under the steel parapet, and the heavy iron gate under the parapet slowly opened, and a column of people came to greet him, and on the chariot under the canopy stood a man, bloated and old, who was the owner of Sunset City...... Sunset Hou Manning, the father of the legendary Seven Marshals of the Empire, Manfang, but sadly Manfang suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the Yangwei Legion in Winter Frost City, and then died at the hands of the demons.
The convoy slowly stopped, Man Ning stepped out of the car, hugged his fists and said: "Veteran Man Ning, see the rain commander..."
Lin Muyu naturally knew about Man Ning, got out of the car, hugged his fists and said, "Lin Muyu see the prince." ”
Man Ning's face was fat, and he trembled when he smiled: "Commander Yu is too polite, Man Ning was overjoyed after hearing that Commander Yu was willing to return to Yiheguo, it is rare for the commander to be so well aware of righteousness, and he is willing to cut off with the brutal empire in Lingbei, which is also a blessing in the world, the Boxer Country has to have a famous general like Commander Yu to serve, and he will definitely be able to exorcise the demon clan, destroy the empire, and dominate the country..."
Lin Muyu took a deep breath and said with a rather resolute expression: "I think the prince must have misunderstood, I am the emperor's righteous son and the empress's brother, so even if I surrender to the Boxer Kingdom, I will never contribute to the Boxer Country, let alone lead the people of the Boxer Kingdom to attack the empire." ”
"Haha......" Man Ning laughed disapprovingly: "Don't worry, don't worry, as long as the rain commander is willing to return to Shunyi and the country, this is a great thing in itself, let's go, the veteran has set up a banquet in the sunset hall, and everyone is waiting for the rain commander to drink this celebration banquet..."
"Yes. ”
Lin Muyu unconsciously gave an imperial military salute, but Ding Xi, Man Ning, Lu Zhan and others looked at it with a particularly dazzling look, which was like a kind of irony.
The convoy continued to move slowly, but there were more and more guards around, thousands of iron horsemen from Sunset City were guarding the surroundings, escorting Lin Muyu and others over the steel parapet, and there was a super strong man beside Man Ning, about 40 years old, under the spirit vein technique, Lin Muyu could sense the whirling fierce fighting mang in this person's body, this was a strong man in the first heaven of the Holy Domain, acting as Man Ning's personal guard, it seemed that Qin Yi did rely on this Sunset Hou very much.
In fact, although Xunbai Province only accounts for 25% of the land area of the four major provinces in Lingnan, it has a flat river, thousands of hectares of fertile land, and the grain produced accounts for more than 60% of the Yihe Kingdom, and the population is rich, and the soldiers are strong.
Sitting in the carriage, Lin Muyu was silent, what made him more relieved was that Man Ning did not order the removal of his blades, what worried him was that he was facing more and more strong enemies, Ding Xi did not say, Lu Zhan was a strong man in the third heaven of the Holy Domain, plus the first heaven of the Holy Land with Man Ning, although Lin Muyu was arrogant, he also knew in his heart that he was not an opponent.
Unconsciously breathing, he continued to sit quietly in the carriage, while watching the traffic in Sunset City flourish.
Before the slaughter of Lanyan City, it was more prosperous than here, and although it is the same now, the slaughter of the city has always been like a lingering shadow entrenched in the hearts of the people, and this difference can be seen from the faces of the people.
Ding Xi said: "After the dinner, Commander Yu will live in my mansion, and after the edict of the capital commander of Lingbei Province comes down, you can move into the palace." ”
"Thank you, General Ding Xi. ”
Lin Muyu nodded, but said again: "I don't serve the Righteous Country, why does the Marquis of Sunset still treat me so kindly?"
"Well...... this"
Ding Xi touched his nose and looked left and right, Lu Zhan had already gotten off the carriage and rode away, so he lowered his voice a little and said: "Although the Boxers took most of the empire's land in a row three years ago, they were also greatly injured, until later Seven Seas City and Twilight Rain City sent troops and defeated the main force of the Boxers in one fell swoop...... The Boxers needed an important figure in the empire to swear an oath of sincerity, otherwise...... Do you think, you caused the death of the Manchu young marshal in Winter Frost City, will the prince let you go?"
"That's ......" Lin Muyu smiled bitterly: "I am just a chess piece that affects people's hearts." ”
"Yes, Dadu Tong and Sunset Marquis need you, just because you are the righteous brother of the Empress of the Empire, and your vote for Chengyi and the country can show that the Yihe country is deeply popular, I remember that the Sunset Marquis once said that as long as you Lin Muyu vote for the Chengyi and the country, it is better than 100,000 heroes. ”
"I see. ”
Lin Muyu leaned on the wooden board of the carriage, and the whole person was depressed.
Ding Xi smiled: "But Commander Yu doesn't have to be too sad, you have already stated that you will not attack the empire for the Righteous Kingdom, and Qin Yi will never break his promise, but the Righteous Kingdom may use you to fight the Demon Clan." ”
"Demon Slayers?"
"Yes, the Gentian Battalion led by the rain has won successive battles in the Qinling Mountains, killing the Demon Clan Demon Legion and retreating one after another, this news has long spread all over the world, don't you know?"
"No......" Lin Muyu slowly shook his head and said, "I've been tired of fighting these days, where do I have time to learn about this." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Ding Xi and said with a smile: "General Ding Xi, aren't you tired of war?"
"This ......" Ding Xi lowered his eyes and smiled: "Who would want to live a life of licking blood on the knife edge all the time?" Ding Xi is not talented, he was selected by the Sunset Marquis and became one of the seven marshals, he should have been grateful for the service, so I can't rest yet, in fact, I Ding Xi hopes that the world will be unified as soon as possible, or the Boxer Kingdom, or the empire, after unification, I, the marshal, will immediately disarm and return to the field, find a mountain and wild village, plant a bamboo forest, raise a pond of fish, marry a daughter-in-law, give birth to three or five children, idle clouds and wild cranes, and be at ease. ”
Lin Muyu couldn't help but smile: "I didn't expect General Ding Xi to be so unproductive." ”
Ding Xi was not angry, touched his nose and said: "A hundred years of life, where are there so many good plans, Ding Xi is not as persistent as the rain commander, I am actually a quite selfish person, I will never be like the rain commander for a sentence, a love will not be desperate." ”
Lin Muyu was surprised, and Ding Xi seemed to mean something.
And Ding Xi only smiled faintly, but his eyes seemed to be able to see through a qiē, and this look was exactly the same as the look in the original turmoil outside Lanyan City.
"Thank you, General Ding Xi. Lin Muyu said in a voice like a gnat.
"You're welcome. ”
Ding Xi clasped his fists and smiled, and said: "I heard that Commander Yu was not killed, many generals of the Boxer Kingdom were filled with righteous indignation, and even alarmed Luo Lan Immortal Venerable, but I, Ding Xi, am the only one who is glad that Commander Yu did not die." ”
"Why?"
"Because the world has been completely in turmoil, the demon clan has descended from the sky from Tongtian Province, and it is unstoppable, if such a heroic general as the rain commander dies, it will be a pity. ”
"Ha, the marshal praised ......"
As soon as Lin Muyu arched his hand, he stopped talking, his body shook gently with the carriage, and his eyes fell on the scenery outside the car window, the people of Sunset City were all clustered on both sides of the road and looked here, many people seemed to have never seen Sunset Hou Manning, pointing, and looking respectful, but no one recognized Lin Muyu in the carriage, after all, in the eyes of the people, the status of the prince is far higher than that of an army commander, and the commander is too far away in their eyes.
......
It wasn't until nightfall that the convoy finally entered a majestic palace...... The moment Lin Muyu stepped out of the carriage, he found that even the steps of the outer hall of the Sunset Hall were gilded, and the luxury inside was even more conceivable.
Sunset Hou Manning stepped forward, raised his hand to hold Lin Muyu's wrist, and said with a smile: "Commander Yu, please go in with the veteran, the celebration banquet has been arranged, and all the senior generals and officials stationed in Sunset City have participated, and even some of Commander Yu's old acquaintances..."
"Old acquaintance?" Lin Muyu was stunned: "Who is it?"
"The Qin family's Tianchong Legion joined the army, Shen Yang, do you recognize it?"
"Meet ......"
"He has already surrendered to Yihe in the Lanyan City Rebellion, and in addition, more than thirty senior generals of the empire have also surrendered to Yiheguo, and many people's names are still on your Zhenguo Monument, which is really ridiculous. ”
Man Ning's face made no secret of his disgust for the Great Qin Empire.
