Chapter 9: Single-mindedness (Why not show it?)

Outside Xiliang City, Zi Chen was dressed in a black suit, with black hair tied behind his head, revealing a handsome face, carrying a huge black longbow on his back, and a pair of black eyes like jewels swept over a long dragon composed of slaves running to the north in front of him, and each slave's face was branded with the mark of a slave, but because there were too many people, these people were not chained, but their hands were tied with ropes.

Under the supervision of 3,000 iron horsemen, more than 20,000 people marched towards the north step by step with heavy steps.

"General, you gave me three thousand Tsing Yi iron horses, what should you do?" Seeing the energetic Tsing Yi iron horses, Zi Chen's heart was moved.

Zi Lie asked Ximen Zhan to prepare manpower for him, in his mind, as long as he didn't give those miscellaneous soldiers to himself, it would be good, who would have thought that Ximen Zhan would actually give himself the most elite three thousand Tsing Yi iron horsemen in his hands?

According to the military rank of the empire, a mausoleum lieutenant can carry a maximum of 2,000 soldiers, and these 3,000 have already exceeded the quota.

"Hehe, now there are 10,000 Xuanyi iron cavalry guarding Xiliang City, and 50,000 reinforcements on the road, my 3,000 Tsing Yi iron cavalry are dispensable, but you are different, this road is dangerous, with these 3,000 iron cavalry, the chance of survival is always greater!" Ximen Zhan smiled and shook his head.

"General, you are so good to me......" Zi Chen's face was moved.

"Hehe, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid that Xiliang City would have been destroyed, what is this? This way, you have to take care, if there is really any emergency, saving your life is the most important, as long as you live, you still have a chance, understand?" Ximen Zhan shook his head bitterly.

Zi Chen was originally a great hero who saved Xiliang City, and he should have accepted the reward of the imperial court with supreme glory, but because of Zi Lie's arrival to accept this almost mortal task, as the lord of a city, he couldn't do anything at all, which already made him full of guilt.

"Don't worry, if I really encounter the Demon Iron Rider, I will definitely be the first to take the lead in escaping......" Zi Chen smiled.

"Hehe, you guy, you're still so naughty, okay, it's not too early, hurry up and get on the road......"

"Wait a minute, there's one more thing ......"

"What's the matter?"

"You see that you have given me your most beloved Tsing Yi Tie Horse, why don't you marry your beloved daughter to me again?" Zi Chen leaned closer.

Ximen Zhan was speechless for a while, he didn't expect that at this time, this guy was still thinking about his daughter.

"She's a little smaller, but I don't mind ...... at all"

"Get out of ......" Ximen Zhan was angry again, don't you mind, I still mind? The angry Ximen Zhan kicked on Zi Chen's horse fiercely, and the carefully selected horse neighed and walked away, and on the horse's back, only Zi Chen's laughter was heard.

Seeing Zi Chen's back and hearing a hearty laugh from his mouth, Ximen Zhan's eyes slowly overflowed with tears.

"Little guy, you have to remember that you are the son of General Ziyang, you must not be able to ...... anything," he muttered in his mouth, and then Ximen Zhan took his lieutenant general and turned around and returned to the city.

And Zi Chen, however, did not look frustrated at all, leading the three thousand iron horsemen and running all the way to the north.

After traveling for about a day, Zi Chen and the others had already come to the edge of the Western Wilderness, and a little further west was the territory of the Prairie Demons.

Looking at the remnant sun on the edge of the sky, an iron horse quickly galloped over, came to Zi Chen's side, lifted the mask of the helmet, and revealed a rough face, which turned out to be Luo Yun, who had always looked down on Zi Chen.

"My lord, it's getting late, are we camping here?" Luo Yun's face was respectful.

Seeing Luo Yun's rough face, Zi Chen didn't answer him immediately, but sighed and said, "General Luo, why are you doing this?"

Luo Yun was already a partial general, and with the merit of killing the grassland demon this time, he had every hope of being promoted to a major general, but after hearing about the task he accepted, he actually took the initiative to resign from his position as a partial general and became the most ordinary Tsing Yi iron horseman, following Zi Chen.

"My lord, my old Luo is a rough man, but I also know that I know how to repay it, if it weren't for your two arrows that day, my old Luo Mo said that what merit he made, whether he could save his life is unknown, now that you have been killed by a traitor, accept such a dangerous task, how can my Lao Luo feel at ease to receive the credit of Na Lao Shizi? Not only me, if it weren't for the fear of attracting the attention of Zilie's bastard, Lin Hu and Liang Yin would like to resign from the military and follow the adult...... " Luo Yun said with a solemn face.

Seeing Luo Yun's solemn expression, Zi Chen's heart was moved again, even if this guy in front of him had offended him in the past, he knew that these border sergeants had always been straightforward, and what to say.

"General Luo......" Zi Chen wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Luo Yun.

"My lord, Lao Luo is no longer a general, just a small soldier under the command of my lord, if my lord has anything to do, just give orders, go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire. ”

"That's good, Luo Yun obeys the order......"

"The subordinates are ......," Luo Yun immediately hugged his fists.

"Lord Ben has now appointed you as the Captain of Tsing Yi and the commander of the Third Brigade of the Tsing Yi Iron Cavalry. ”

"Master Xie......"

"Now, gather the captives at once, I have something to say. Zi Chen said solemnly.

"Yes......"

A quarter of an hour later, the 20,000 captives had all been gathered and gathered in the center, but none of the 3,000 Tsing Yi iron horsemen dismounted, they all rode war horses around the 20,000 people, as long as there was any abnormal movement, this group of iron horsemen would not hesitate to cut into it and kill them.

They will not be soft on these captives.

And Zi Chen, on his horse, came to the top of the mound, condescendingly looking at the dense 20,000 captives below, with the help of the residual sun, Zi Chen could clearly see the frightened, angry, unwilling, humiliated and other expressions on the faces of these captives.

"I think you should all know the news of the death of your Wanyan Bone Prince, that's right, your Wanyan Bone Prince, including the immortal master you invited, was shot to death by Lao Tzu......" Zi Chen suddenly raised his voice, and the sound like a thunderous roar echoed on the grassland, and the captives below all heard his roar, and their eyes showed surprise, obviously they didn't expect that this young man who was not like words, and looked weaker than the women in the clan was actually the archer who killed the Wanyan Bone Prince?

"I know you don't believe it, but it doesn't matter, Lao Tzu just wants to sue you, Wanyan Gu is dead, Wanyan Gu's status in the eyes of your Great Khan should be clearer than me, the prince is dead, you so-called warriors who protect the prince, but you are still alive and well, you say, how will your Great Khan punish you?"

As soon as Zi Chen's words fell, a noisy voice sounded below, obviously these 20,000 captives knew that with the style of the Great Khan, even if they returned to the grassland, they would inevitably be severely punished, ranging from a single head to five horses, and even the possibility of affecting their families.

Thinking that their family might suffer from Zhulian, these people's eyes when they looked at Zi Chen were suddenly full of hatred, if it weren't for him, how could they and the others be captured?

Some even have a fierce glint in their eyes.

I was already thinking in my heart whether to fight with these Han people.

"You hate me very much, don't you? But Lao Tzu wants to ask you, what qualifications do you have to hate me? It was you who killed my compatriots, you were the one who slaughtered my Datang village, and it was you who attacked Xiliang City, you want to kill me, are you not allowed Lao Tzu to resist?" Zi Chen roared angrily, and the slaves below who were originally a little restless suddenly quieted down.

Yes, the aggressor is himself, and others are just fighting back, so what right do they and others have to hate him?

"The battlefield is ruthless, the sword has no eyes, Lao Tzu is strong enough, so Lao Tzu killed your prince, Lao Tzu's army also defeated you, whether you are convinced or not, you are all a group of losers, losers are not qualified to hate, now you are just a prisoner of Lao Tzu, but Lao Tzu, don't want to be captured......" Zi Chen roared again, as soon as these words came out, the faces of more than 20,000 people present turned white, not to mention those prisoners, even Luo Yun and others looked at Zi Chen with a look of disbelief.

He didn't want the captives, could he be prepared to kill them all?

Even if you want to kill them, you don't need to shout out like this, right? At this time, once these captives riot, even three thousand iron horsemen may not be able to withstand it?

"Don't worry, Lao Tzu won't kill you, and even if it weren't for Lao Tzu, you would have died a long time ago. Seeing everyone's drastic change in faces, Zi Chen sneered.

Whether these captives admit it or not, they are secretly relieved at this moment, if they can live, who wants to die?

"Not long ago, the new commander of Xiliang City, my eldest brother, Major General Zilie, privately decided to secretly execute you, it was I who saved you, just because I think you are the warriors of the grassland, the most heroic soldiers, you can die, but you should not die under the butcher's knife, do not change to die in the prisoner camp, your destination should be the battlefield, now, Lao Tzu gives you two choices, one, immediately roll back to your grassland from here, to meet the wrath of your Great Khan, two, An An divided and follow Lao Tzu to the north......" Zi Chen roared, his handsome face hideous.

As his voice fell, the huge scene was quiet, including Luo Yun and the others all looked at Zi Chen with shocked expressions, they never thought that Zi Chen would release these slave soldiers, if Zi Lie knew, he could be charged with collaborating with the enemy.

As for the captives in the center of the field, they were also wide-eyed and stared, and it seemed that it was difficult to believe their ears?

This person who once killed the prince, the person who killed the mysterious immortal master, this person who decided the life and death of himself and others, actually wanted to let himself and others go back to the grassland?
