Smoke rises everywhere
Early the next morning, Zhaoning went to visit the king of Taixing. King Taixing, the holy king of the imperial family, has guarded Anxi for more than ten years, and now his official positions are gone, and he is no longer in charge of the army.
Yesterday, it was a public matter to pay homage to all of you in the capital and protect the mansion, although the king of Taixing was a holy king, but Zhaoning's visit was also a private matter as a junior. The public is greater than the private, so Zhaoning came early the next morning.
Entering the palace, I saw a map of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains hanging in the main hall, which clearly marked every province of this heavenly saint and outlined every mountain and river. Zhao Ning was fascinated for a while, and couldn't help but walk over.
This is the territory of my great sage, the territory that countless ancestors have taken by throwing their heads and spilling their blood. Thinking back more than a thousand years ago, the Yanhan Empire, which claimed to be the center of the human race, collapsed, Chixian Shenzhou was ravaged, and the human race was only one step away from being destroyed for a while. But today, a thousand years later, the Qianyuan Empire has fallen apart, the Shangjing Heavenly Kingdom has been defeated and retreated, and the dark world has not been able to step into the gods.
What a great achievement, what a glorious achievement. Touching the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in this picture, Zhaoning gently felt the pulse of the rivers and mountains......
Since the moment he came to Qiuzi with the pro-army, Zhao Ning felt that he had changed, and he felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was becoming more and more real.
"It seems that Zhaoning, you like the old man's painting very much."
A burst of footsteps and laughter came from behind Zhao Ning. As soon as Zhao Ning turned around, he saw an old man with a snow-white and extremely long beard. It's King Taixing, that's right, his long beard is notoriously long.
"I have seen the old prince in my later life."
King Taixing lifted Zhaoning up with his old but strong hands and looked at it carefully.
"It's really like what Gao Ding said, the capital of the dragon and phoenix, the watch of the sky, it's amazing."
King Taixing danced happily and asked if Zhaoning was uncomfortable last night.
"Old prince, everything is fine in Zhaoning."
"That's good, that's good, when the old man just came, the environment here was even worse, a few days ago, it was called homesickness, that was called homesickness, that was called homesickness, hahahaha, your kid is better than the old man."
Zhaoning found that this King Taixing loved to laugh very much, so he laughed with him.
The two have been talking from the birth of Zhaoning to the marriage of King Taixing.
"You don't know, how much the old man loves to laugh at his dead wife, the day he left, the old man must live happily, but unfortunately, she wants to go back to Chang'an all her life, but at that time, the old man has not yet reached the heavenly realm, he is still a general of the Liuhe realm, and he is a child of the holy family who has just turned into a clan, how can he send her back, she can only be buried in Taixing Mountain.
You say coincidentally, after worshipping her, the old man went directly to Mount Tai, and when he climbed the top of Mount Tai, he sensed heaven and earth in an instant, crossed the holy gate, and became a saint. You say, isn't she bless me? ā
As the ninth Holy King of the Empire during the same period, the number of Saint Kings of the Empire has remained at nine since then.
"Being in Mount Tai, the soul crosses the Holy Gate, and the empire is prosperous", so it is called the King of Taixing.
Chatting from morning to evening, King Taixing and Zhaoning can be said to be like the same, Zhaoning confided his worries to him, and King Taixing told Zhaoning about the past.
"Yes, the princess must be bless the old prince!"
"yes, yes, smile every day. Now the old man is closed to the customer, but he only made an exception when he heard that you came, but he didn't expect to say so much. ā
"Since the prince likes to chat so much, why do you want to close the door to thank guests."
"To go further."
"But the old prince is already a holy realm!"
"There are also strengths and weaknesses in the Holy Realm, in order to go further, the old man resigned from his official position, closed his door, and devoted himself to cultivation. It's a pity that the road ahead is still illusory, and I don't know where the direction is, probably because there is no hope for progress. ā
"Which is stronger or weaker between the old prince and the king of Zichen?"
"Joke, the old man is five years older than him!"
"That's the old prince?"
"Hehe, this one, it should be that he should be stronger, hahahahaha. The old man didn't fight with him, he cared about what he was doing. ā
"Curious, what about the King of Changping?"
"What! As for the boy in his early forties from King Changping, the old man beat him with one hand! ā
"What about the King of Eternal Longevity?"
"Heh, naturally, the old prince single-handedly blew up my early eighties!"
ā¦ā¦
After coming out of the Taixing Palace, Zhaoning felt that the haze had dissipated. This is the self-parental generation, for the bloodline, human beings always have a dependence, attached to their parents, attached to their elders, often where the elders are is where the home is.
Now that I have seen King Taixing, I can be regarded as seeing a self-patriarch.
It's a pity that King Taixing can't walk around. The empire maintained only two holy kings on the front line of the war with the Qianyuan Khanate all year round, forming a delicate balance with the four false saints of the Qianyuan Empire. As long as the two Saint Kings don't make a move, the other side won't make a move, and once the Saint King makes a move, the situation will escalate in an instant, and they will begin to be unscrupulous.
As soon as I got home, I saw that the fourth brother and the third brother were fighting in their courtyard, and the rest were betting.
"Come on, third brother, don't hide, don't think I'm Peng Feng a bully!"
"Big brother, I'll press ten or three brothers to win!"
"Yue Dan! You kid doesn't think so much about me! ā
Peng Feng was fighting, and when he heard Yue Dan pressing Nangong Xu, he couldn't help but turn his head and yell. never wanted to be seized by Nangong Xu, and kicked Peng Feng to the ground.
"Ouch, third brother, you, ouch, can't you be lighter!" "Who told you to just speak wildly, ah!"
Nangong Xu raised his head slightly, his face full of disdain and arrogance.
"Third brother, fourth brother is so Yaxing! Hahahaha! ā
Hearing Zhao Ning's voice, Peng Feng got up from the ground, looked at Zhao Ning and said,
"I thought Zhaoning you were buried by King Taixing, why did you go for so long?"
"We talked for a while."
"What are you talking about, talking for so long, I haven't seen you talk to Li Ji for so long."
"Go, go!"
After saying that, I saw Yue Dan with a happy face and counting the money, and Peng Hou with a sad face.
"Brother, why are you so uncompetitive!"
"What, you kid dare to talk to me like this, come, my brother will fight one!"
"Zhao Ning, you see, he knows how to bully me, Zhao Ning quickly protect me......"
"Hahaha, come, fourth brother, I'll fight with you!"
"I'll press Zhaoning ten taels!" "Peng Hou!!"
ā¦ā¦
On the third day of coming to Qiuzi, Zhaoning sat in a corner of the lobby of the Metropolitan Protectorate and quietly listened to the deliberations of the generals of the Metropolitan Protectorate.
"Saibei City can't be lost, there is a sharp knife that pierces the hinterland of the Evil King."
"But Shangjing sent 50,000 Qianyuan forbidden troops."
Hearing that the Qianyuan Khanate had sent a forbidden army from the capital, Zhaoning frowned.
"That's not going to work, as long as Saibei City is still there, it won't be long before the Evil King of Hun has to surrender or flee north."
"But it's too late now, we don't know how long the city will hold out, and there is no news from there until now. We only had a blittle message from the scouts, no definite information at all. ā
"I'm willing to go, lead a cavalry, if the city is still there, I will enter the city, and at the same time send someone back to report the news, Lao Tzu will be able to hold on until the reinforcements arrive, and then we will swallow the 50,000 people of this dog day in one go."
Petrified Yong slapped the table, angry.
Guo Yi and Lin Zhengang looked at Shihua Yong with admiration, but they were helpless. Because not only is there a battle in the north, the west has been fighting as early as seven days ago, the cavalry has already supported it, and there are already more than 100,000 soldiers on both sides are fighting fiercely, the key is that Anxi's reserve army is supporting the west, and the upper capital is also preparing to go to the west battlefield.
Now the only option in the north is to abandon the city of Saibei, wait for the enemy to divide his forces, and then slowly plan for it. After all, 50,000 people was enough, and if Anzai didn't win the war in the west, it would be impossible to swallow them in one go.
Whenever Anxi encounters a two-front battle, it is often an attack and a defense, waiting for the opportunity. But now this Saibei City is too important, it is a city built in Anxi, not far from the court of the Evil King, Anxi has just repaired it, paid a great price, as soon as the city is repaired, it will announce the collapse of the Evil King. But if it is captured, Anxi's previous efforts will be in vain, and it will also strengthen the evil king.
"But we don't have cavalry, and even if we do, it's not elite enough, it's not fast enough, and we can't catch up for a while, or we can't hold it at all. Alright, old stone, sit down, sit down,"
"Now I can only give up for the time being-"
"We still have people."
Zhao Ning stood up, looked at Guo Yi and replied,
"I still have 3,000 pro-troops, all of them are elites, all of them are one against ten, I think I can give it a try."
As soon as he heard this, Shihua Yong rushed directly, hugged Zhao Ning, and shouted: "Isn't this done, Your Highness, you are really the lucky star of Anxi!" ā
"Old Shi, respect and humility are orderly!!"
"It's okay, I don't care about that."
"Okay, okay, what His Royal Highness King Ziyang just said is true, are you really willing to send Your Highness your own army?"
"Hmmm! In front of the war, there are all imperial soldiers, and they should be happy to hear that they can go to war soon! ā
"Okay, Lao Shi, you hurry up and prepare, if you arrive in Saibei City and don't lose it, you must hold on for ten days, and during the ten days, I will do everything possible to draw troops."
Guo Yi patted Shi Yong's shoulder and motioned for him to hurry up and prepare.
"I'm going too!"
Zhao Ning saw that Guo Yi had no plan to arrange him at all, so he hurriedly spoke out to express his existence.
"No!"
Guo Yi and Lin Zhengang were shocked and hurriedly spoke out to stop them. Sima Ming also stepped forward to persuade.
"My 3,000 soldiers went, why can't I go!"
"I'm here to fight, not to be at home, most of them are protected!"
Lin Zhengang pressed one hand on Zhao Ning's shoulder and slowly opened his mouth,
"Your Highness, I know your determination, but you also have to understand that this battle is extremely dangerous, Your Highness, you have a special status, or-"
Before Lin Zhengang finished speaking, Zhao Ning showed the seal of the prison army.
"The Prison Army Division is here, and I have the right to mobilize and supervise the Anxi army! I'm going to Saibei City now, and I'm going to ask for an order from Daduhu. ā
"Your Highness, why do you bother?"
"I can't watch my soldiers fighting on the front lines while they survive themselves. The Holy Family Erlang is revered by merit and the courage to charge forward. I have been admired since I was born, and it is time to repay the people and the country! ā
"But that's almost death!"
"If you run away with your head in the so-called place of death, how can you talk about the realm of the Holy King.
The generals fought to the death for the country, and today, I can also fight for the country! ā
Guo Yi looked at the raging fire in Zhao Ning's eyes, nodded, and motioned for Zhao Ning to prepare.
"Lao Guo, how can you let His Highness go to the North City! What should I do if something happens to Your Highness! ā
"Do you really think that His Highness brought 3,000 soldiers and brothers? I'm afraid that Chang'an has even dispatched the Holy King! ā
This is a bit excessive, but Lin Zhengang understands what Guo Yi means, no matter what, someone will save His Highness's life.
"By the way, Your Highness, it's, it's, it'sā"
"Domineering side leaks?"
"It's not suitable, anyway, it's like a young man!"
"His Highness is originally a young man!"
ā¦ā¦
Zhaoning planned to keep Li Daoke and Yue Dan, because they practiced literature and martial arts, not to protect themselves on the battlefield. Seeing this, they didn't say much, nodded in agreement.
Relying on their one-fold, one-fold cultivation will only distract other people's attention on such a battlefield, which is a proper burden, it is better to stay in the rear with peace of mind and do what they can, so as to help Zhaoning them.
As for Yu Zhongxiao, he kept the turtle to protect Li Daoke and the others.
The five people of Zhaoning led 3,000 pro-troops and 100 cavalry of Petrified Yong joined forces in the city and went straight to the north city!
