Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Approaching Prince of the Kingdom of Jin
It has been said that you never know how strong and cowardly you are until you lift that veil that covers your head.
At this moment, there were only thirteen soldiers in front of Guan Cheng, but there was a kind of confidence in his heart that was soaring into the sky and was gradually awakening.
It gradually became a burst of roar, and the beasts around him couldn't help but take a few steps back in surprise.
People are still the strongest in the end.
Holding the Changge bronze sword in his hand, this is the tiger ben that dominates the world.
Guan Cheng nodded with satisfaction, his voice was full of sadness: "You are all the best sons of Datong, the last hope!" ”
"When the general is in the army, he guards the Chase Quartet, and his prestige is outside the territory and intimidates all directions! Now that the princes do not pay tribute, the doctors do not pay tribute, the world has long lost the order of the courtesy of the kings and ministers, and the countries are fighting each other so that the people are not happy, if the general is here, how can he allow such a misdemeanor to happen. ”
"We should uphold the will of the general, level the world, and return the world to a bright future!"
"Today, I, the crown prince of Datong, the king of Jin, Guan Cheng has sworn since then, the generals are the witnesses, and the generals are the heroes, and the generals must take the world as their responsibility, and they will reinvigorate the universe, and they will tear the soil to thank the princes on the day of success!"
Yu Fa and the others were enthusiastic when they heard this, and the sharp blade in their hands pierced the sky, but their bodies knelt on one knee.
"We swear to follow Your Highness to the death!"
Guan Cheng stepped forward and lifted Yu Fa in front with both hands, looking at each other speechlessly, but there was a fire burning in each other's eyes.
"Soldiers, we sacrifice to the general!"
Guan Cheng rearranged his appearance and stood at the forefront with incense candles in his hand.
Yu Fa raised his eyes to the sky and roared: "We are going to send the general!" ”
"Bow down!"
"Thank you for the general's merits!"
"Bye-bye!"
"Thank you, General!"
"Three bows!"
"I will live up to the general's hopes!"
Finished!
Suddenly, the tigers and leopards in the courtyard all looked up to the sky and roared! Xiao Tan finally cried out loud.
"The voice?" Liu Dong, who was about to reach the top of the mountain, looked very good.
Listening to this voice, I am afraid that the beasts of the whole mountain are coming, but this voice sounds really a little terrifying.
"Is there any news from the outpost?" Liu Dong was a little uneasy in his heart and hurriedly asked.
It's just that the news that came back is not very satisfying, and the outpost should have at least had news back before a stick of incense, and now there is no shadow to be seen.
"Everybody stop! What about Ma Quan? Come out. ”
"Your Highness!" Not far away, a horse-faced man hurriedly ran out.
"You send twenty people from the headquarters to go forward, you must find the outpost and find out what is happening ahead, and within an hour Ben Gongzi will hear reliable news."
Although Ma Quan has a horse face and looks a little stupid, he is ruthless and cunning, and he is the strongest improvisation among the few people under Liu Dong.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, Ma Quan will definitely live up to His Highness's orders."
Soon, Ma Quan picked twenty capable subordinates and disappeared from Liu Dong's sight.
"The order is to arrange sentry posts, everyone to drink water, rest and use food, and there should be a fierce battle to be fought after an hour."
The guards around him quickly passed on the order, and Liu Dong was very confident in his instincts, whether it was from last night's vision, the roar of the beast or the outpost that had an accident, he showed that he was not far from the target.
Liu Dong stood up and inspected his subordinates accompanied by his personal guards, the place where more than 400 people were scattered was not large, but the jungle was a little messy.
The soldiers who have been running around all night are very tired, but Liu Dong, who is the prince of the world, is gritting his teeth to support the dissatisfaction in everyone's hearts, and his life will not be more expensive than His Royal Highness the prince.
Liu Dong still has a lot of prestige in the entire forbidden army, on the one hand, because of his identity, most of the army knows that the current lord of the Jin State is not young and his health is not very good, and the position of the lord of the country is in the near future, and it is nine times out of ten that His Royal Highness the prince in front of him, and Liu Dong is no different from the officers of the same level in terms of food, clothing and use, although everyone knows that this person has a noble status but does not overpower people.
The people do not suffer from widowhood but unevenness, since the prince and everyone eat in the same pot, walking the same mountain road, then what is there to be noisy.
The snoring soon sounded in the forest, which seemed very weird, but Liu Dong had no intention of caring about it, no matter how great his ability was, he couldn't stop people's mouths and tell him not to snore.
A simple map was laid on the boulder, Liu Dong frowned, looked at the few crooked lines in front of him like insects, and felt unhappy in his heart.
"Damn, there's no difference between this map, just a few lines that come and go and tell me that there's a mountain here."
"I don't know how big or high this mountain is, and I don't know how much it occupies, let alone the terrain in the mountains."
"What about scouts? What about Lu Yue? ”
The soldier next to him hurriedly replied: "Your Highness, Captain Lu Wu, they were ordered to investigate just now, and they just set off. ”
"Call Lu Yue back immediately."
Soon Lu Yue gasped and ran back and said, "Your Highness, the humble post is back." ”
Liu Dong asked without raising his head: "My son asked you, what villages or people are near this place?" ”
Lu Yue hesitated for a moment and said: "Back to Your Highness, thirty miles west of here is the border of the Liang Kingdom, at that time, in order to prevent the enemy from sneaking into this place, all the people and mountain people were relocated. ”
"Ben Gongzi is asking if you have a village or a family! Don't answer the wrong question! ”
Liu Dong's eyes made Lu Yue's heart tighten, and then he remembered that although the noble son in front of him had no fight, it was fatal to start a fire.
"Back to Your Highness, there are a few courtyards on the top of the mountain, but they have been abandoned for many years, but there are often bears and tigers resting there."
Liu Dong stood up and put his hand between his eyebrows and looked up, but when he saw that the top of the mountain was covered with clouds and mist, he could see clearly, but the sound of beasts and birds in his ears was clearly audible.
"Your Highness! Dusima sent someone. ”
"The people of Dutan? Bring it on. ”
Several sergeants panted and ran over and said: "Your Highness, Du Sima asked me to wait to inform Your Highness, the top of the mountain is likely to be a psychedelic place, there have been many mountain hunters who have been lost in a coma here and are already at the bottom of the mountain when they wake up, which is very weird, Du Sima is worried about His Highness's safety and specially ordered me to come and inform him, Du Sima said please rest for a while, and the main force led by Du Sima will be able to arrive at noon." ”
Liu Dong pondered for a moment and then said to the herald: "Go and report to Du Sima, my son knows." ”
Several soldiers looked at each other, not knowing whether this sentence was waiting or not.
"Stand down."
Between the entanglements, Liu Dong's voice fell, and Lu Yue next to him jumped out and ordered: "Send a few brothers." ”
After a few people left, Lu Yue came over and whispered, "Your Highness, should we stop and wait for Du Sima?" ”
Liu Dong sneered and said, "What, this so-called psychedelic place scares you?" ”
Lu Yue's old face flushed, and he hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand: "No, no, for His Royal Highness, I am willing to go to the Sword Mountain and the Sea of Fire, how can I take the rumors to heart." ”
"It's just that His Royal Highness has a noble status, and he has been chasing all night, how can he be in danger again, if there is an accident, it will be difficult to forgive the sins of the whole of us who will die."
Liu Dong smiled slightly and patted Lu Yue's shoulder and said: "You have all been with this son for a few years, this son knows your loyalty, but if you don't enter the tiger's den, how can I give up after chasing Guan Cheng all night, besides, what kind of psychedelic land, any vanity is muddy in front of the sword soldiers, with you, Dajin's most courageous soldier still needs to be afraid of anything in this son?" Or do you need to be afraid of anything? ”
Just a few words made Lu Yue feel a little hot blood surging and hurriedly said: "Of course, the lowly rank is trusted by His Highness, and of course he does not dare to move forward, but he dares to love His Highness as the last, and the lowly rank is willing to be the eyes and ears of His Highness." ”
Liu Dong was very satisfied, and patted Lu Yue's shoulder again and consciously encouraged: "Go, in three quarters of an hour, my son will be unimpeded ahead." ”
Although the number of Jin army scouts is small, after all, they are all elites brought out by Liu Dong, and they are also very fast all the way, and there are several wolves and bears that fall under the arrows on the way.
The faint smell of blood spread out and drifted into the nose in the early morning fog.
The mourning and tactful music on the top of the mountain is nearing the end, Xiao Tan is wearing linen and filial piety, kneeling in front of the grave, the yellow paper in the basin has turned into black paper ash, and behind him is Guan Cheng and a group of soldiers and beasts in the mountain.
A gray wolf whimpered and ran out with its tail between its legs, and went straight to Xiao Tan.
The beasts in the courtyard immediately stopped roaring, and their eyes were full of blood red.
Xiao Tan also stopped crying, and the wolf's head came up, the corners of his mouth overflowed with blood droplets, and he made a whining sound, obviously not lightly injured.
"Brother, someone is here and has killed a lot of living beings, and it's not far from here."
Guan Cheng didn't notice Xiao Tan's title, but walked towards the gray wolf and pulled out the arrow on his back, and the golden seal on it was clearly visible.
"Jin Bing's speed is not slow. Depressed hair. ”
"Mark it in."
"You quickly send two people to the west to investigate the situation, try to find the traces of the team, and the rest of the people will pack up and retreat west."
Yu Fa took the order and left, Guan Cheng turned to Xiao Tan and said: "Xiao Tan girl, there are many Jin soldiers, we are weak and invincible, we need to avoid the edge for a while at this moment, Zhang Shuai's spiritual position has to work hard for you to clean up, we will set off after a cup of tea." ”
Xiao Tan wiped a handful of tears and nodded heavily, she also knew very well in her heart the danger at the moment, although this vast mountain was her home field, but how could she deal with a sharp blade with her sharp teeth alone.
Soon the flames rose into the sky, the smoke dispersed, and Liu Dong, who was waiting for the scout's return, changed his expression, and stood up violently and stared into the distance.
"It must be the King of Jin! Around! ”
"Your Highness!"
Liu Dong directly took out his saber and grabbed the soldier's collar and said in a deep voice: "You go back to Zuo Sima quickly, just say that our department has bitten the Jin army, let him support as quickly as possible." ”
The soldier took the order and left, Liu Dong turned to his subordinates and said aloud: "Brothers, the time has come for you to make meritorious contributions, and the time has come for the world to know the power of my Praetorian Guard. ”
Feudal marquis!
These two words never need to question the allure of any soldier, and the soldier's life is not to be fed and clothed with his head pinned to the waistband of his trousers, and then to make contributions and glorify his ancestors, and the ultimate goal is not to seal the marquis and tear the soil and seal the wife and son.
Right now, it's just a matter of chasing a handful of enemies, and then catching a prince who grew up in a small deep palace, and he can lie down peacefully for the rest of his life.
The glory and wealth seem to be revealing the jade body in front of you.
The eyes of the soldiers of the forbidden army of the Jin State suddenly became visibly furious.
"Slaughter the Jin army and capture Guan Cheng alive!"
"Give it to Ben Gongzi!"
