[Chapter 499: Shuiyang Pass]
"...... The river has been crossed. β
The dark ghosts trembled.
Suzhan Yuanping took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
"Last night the moonlight was good. β
The moonlight is like frost, and the river is crossed in white.
Riding the dust, unparalleled in the world!
He seemed to be waiting quietly.
The dark ghost listened to him and waited for a moment before tiptoeing to retreat.
But at this time, Su Zhan Yuanping spoke again.
"So, where is Li Chun?"
"What?"
Dark Ghost barely believed his ears.
Just now...... Is Suzhan Dazun talking about Li Chun? The so-called god general Li Chun next to the crown prince?
With the status and strength of Suzhan Dazun, how could he care about such a person.
Even though...... He is now famous.
But after all, that is the person that Wind Demon Qi and Tao Thirty Niang should deal with, and Su Zhan Yuanping has never said a word about it before.
Could it be that it was because Peach Thirty Niang was defeated that he cared?
Li Chun and the crown prince left Feixiang City together, led the three thousand pioneer battalions, and came towards Lingzhou. β
He paused.
"However, probably they will wait for Bai Qingyi at Shuiyang Pass, and after they meet, they will come to Lingzhou. β
If there were no white light clothes, the prince's 3,000 pioneer battalion would never dare to come to Lingzhou, where Suzhan Yuanping was in charge.
That is to come to death.
"Oh?"
Su Zhan Yuanping raised his white eyebrows.
"In that case, I'll go to Shuiyangguan to meet this person......"
"Yes...... Huh?"
The dark ghost was dumbfounded, and saw that Su Zhan Yuanping actually stood up and walked out of the main hall quickly, and for a moment, he couldn't believe his ears and eyes.
Shuiyang Pass.
Jiangnan is flat. Except for the Nu River as a moat, there are few passes.
Shuiyang Pass is different, it is located on the bank of the Grand Canal, there are just two high mountains rising from the ground on both sides, if the army does not go from Shuiyang Pass, I am afraid that it will go around thousands of miles.
So it's a small place. But it can be regarded as the first Xiongguan in the south of the Yangtze River.
-- Of course, in times of peace, its greatest value is that it exists as a tax collector.
Merchants who come and go from the south to the north either take the Grand Canal or take the official road under Shuiyang Pass, and most of them have to pass through here to go to the north.
So this is also the heaviest part of the empire's taxes, where it passes through here. All tithes are taxed, and the income from Guanzhong can account for one-fifth of the world's taxes!
Heaven and earth are changing, agricultural taxes are actually extremely thin, and most of the empire's funds are through guΓ² commercial taxes, and Shuiyang Pass is the heaviest place for commercial taxes. So there are also heavy guards.
It's a pity that such a pass can't stop the Dongyi people.
The Dongyi people would rather go over the mountains and bypass hundreds of miles. They don't go from here, they move smartly, march quickly, and disperse in small teams, and the mode of passing really can't stop them.
The Prince's vanguard battalion arrived at Shuiyang Pass. The general soldiers of the town guard did not dare to slack off and personally welcomed the pass.
"Thanks to the prince Hongfu, the Dongyi people don't dare to come to the pass, but even if they come, the last general will definitely take the lead. Let them have no return!"
At the banquet to be welcomed, the general soldiers slapped their and blew the conch.
Li Chun knocked his beer belly and the overindulgent look on his face, he could only shake his head, maybe this old man was still a fierce general when he was young, but he stayed in Shuiyang Pass, the thickest pass with the thickest oil and water, for ten years, I am afraid that it is almost useless.
Just listen to this kind of talk, anyway, the Dongyi people really won't come to the offense when they are full.
-- The money and grain in Guanzhong have long been transported to the capital, and now Dongyi occupies Lingzhou, and the north-south trade routes are half cut off, and Shuiyangguan has not received taxes for a while, so why should the Dongyi people come to gnaw on this bone that is not beneficial?
"Mr. Huang is loyal and brave, and he knows it. β
The prince smiled on his face, but he didn't care.
This kind of bureaucracy is everywhere, and he really doesn't need to be angry about it.
At this moment, I heard a loud bang outside the gate, and for a while there were screams!
"What's going on!"
Mr. Huang wiped the cold sweat on his head, he wouldn't be so crow-mouthed, the Dongyi people really came to break the pass, right?
"Don't shout indiscriminately, startle the prince's driving, and cut off all of them!"
No matter what happens, in front of the prince, he must always have a bit of majesty!
"Oh no! Oh no!"
The minions outside rushed in, shouting and screaming helplessly.
Mr. Huang yelled at him a few times in a row, but it was useless.
And when Mr. Huang heard clearly what the little soldier was saying, he stopped yelling, and the whole person seemed to be suddenly frozen, and sweat oozed from his forehead!
"Ahh
He suddenly screamed, and he didn't care to get under the table, his body was fat, the bottom of the table was narrow, where could it be accommodated, just one arch, and the whole table was overturned.
The little soldier only said six words.
"Suzhan Yuanping is here!"
The crown prince and Li Chun glanced at each other, and they both stood up.
Suzhan Yuanping, actually came to Shuiyang Pass?
This...... But it was not what they expected.
"What is he here for?"
Everyone can be afraid, but the prince must not show a scared look, Huang Zongbing is so useless, probably the army has lost his heart, if the prince shows a look of fear again, I am afraid that the pioneer battalion will be timid before the battle.
"No...... I don't know ......."
The creep stammered, gesturing in explanation.
"Suzhan Yuanping made a big stone...... No, it was half a mountain, and it was thrown at the gate of Shuiyang Pass, and then ...... And there stood there the stone...... No, on the top of the mountain, close your eyes and recuperate!!"
Finally, he made his words clear.
Li Chun frowned.
If Su Zhan Yuanping came to kill people and wipe him out of the crown prince, it should be impossible.
At their level, they know the induction of heavenly machines, and they will not take their shots lightly, unless they are the corresponding opponents.
After all, they are only one and a half steps away from the gods, and the battle in the world will only be taken unless it involves luck, otherwise, it is ugly to say, even if it is the prince, it is not worth a sword from Suzhan Yuanping.
So what is he here for?
"Let's take a look. β
Li Chun thought about it, and only when he went to close it first could he understand what this demon, this terrible legendary character, wanted to do.
In fact, Li Chun's heart was also full of curiosity.
He has seen Bai Qingyi, he has seen the old emperor, and he has seen the old man Luo Yuchuan.
These people are all masters at about this level, before and after the gods.
But they are not the same as Suzhan Yuanping.
Because Suzhan Yuanping is based on killing and destruction, how can he find his own way to become a god?
ββFor Li Chun, his kendo is also of reference value.
Because what Li Chun is looking for is the road of the sword and the way to sanctification! (To be continued......
