"Childe, there is Tongguan ahead. ”

Lao Zhou slowed down the car, the torso of the horse pulling the cart was full of sweat, and the gallop of the past few days was lifeless, even if he changed horses along the way, the consumption was still very great.

Now that they arrived at Tongguan a day early, they finally didn't miss the big thing of the county king, and he was relieved.

"This is Tongguan?"

Li Chun poked his head out, looked at the majestic pass, and then followed the ancient city wall all the way to the west, only to see the hazy mountains in the distance.

To the west of the empire is the terrain of dense mountain ranges, and the Tianshan Mountains are among these mountains.

The road ahead is not easy to walk.

After leaving Tongguan, it is no longer the territory controlled by the empire, although because of the remoteness, there are not as many monsters as in the hinterland of the empire, but there are also Xirong's rangers, and monsters hiding in the mountains and forests, these are terrible enemies.

The crown prince's enshrinement is a journey of courage in itself.

In the past history, the story of the 36 ceremonial guards showing their personal ability, wisdom and bravery, and finally escorting the various princes to and from the city is also widely spread.

"Let's go, let's go in and meet the prince. ”

The carriage slowly arrived at the gate of Tongguan, even in peacetime, the guards of the first pass in the west were still extremely strict, although the drawbridge was lowered, but the black-armored knights patrolling around were holding long lances, which was daunting.

"Stop! Whoever is coming, there is a way!"

Coming from the inland to Tongguan is equivalent to reaching the border of the empire, and with the current strict rules of locking the country, if there is no approval, no one is allowed to leave the country lightly, so the interrogation of these black-armored knights is also extremely strict.

"This is Li Chun, one of the prince's thirty-six honor guards, Li Gongzi, you can't be rude!"

Lao Zhou hurriedly identified himself and handed over the edict and Kanhe.

Hearing is one of the thirty-six honor guards. The black-armored knights didn't dare to slack off, and they were not qualified to inspect the edict and Kanhe, so they hurriedly sent someone to inform the prince's subordinates, and soon someone hurried over, and after checking the certificate, they laughed.

"Li Gongzi. You're finally here, the prince has been waiting for you for too long!"

The person who came was the prince's most trusted little marquis.

Although he has sharp-beaked monkey cheeks and is short, he relies on clothes and wears an honor guard uniform, but he also has a bit of momentum.

Xiao Hou happily came to the carriage, greeted Li Chun and got out of the car, greeted him politely, and introduced himself as well.

"His Royal Highness the Labor Prince and Little Grandpa Hou have been waiting for a long time. It's really scary. ”

Of course, Li Chun also has to be polite, although he is not to blame at all, it is all arranged by the king of Fubo County, but it is not a bad thing to be polite and modest.

Xiao Hou was quite satisfied with Li Chun's attitude.

He was entrusted by the crown prince to see what kind of person this Li Chun was.

Seeing that he was only fifteen years old, he was quite old in his actions and speech, and he was not too ostentatious. Xiaohou also has a little more favor.

In fact, he was really not afraid that Li Chun was the eyeliner of the king of Fubo County, or had some other schemes - the thirty-six honor guards accompanied the prince to sacrifice to the emperor. It can be said that there is both prosperity and loss, even if it is the king of Fubo County, there can't be any big conspiracy, at most it is just to observe the prince's situation.

- There are too many people in the capital staring at the crown prince, and the king of Fubo County will let him see it if he wants to.

Xiaohou is worried that he will not come to be a-stirring stick.

He has seen a lot of such arrogant and domineering young people, but they have no special skills. If it weren't for the strict selection of the honor guards this time, it would inevitably be mixed in with a few such guys.

This kind of person is not enough to achieve more than to lose, and in the mountains outside the gate, it is a time bomb that can be detonated at any time.

Li Chun was late, and he came from afar. Of course, Xiao Hou didn't trust him.

Judging by his attitude now, it's not bad -- now the thing to worry about is whether he has real skills.

It is said that to be able to pass the examination of a county Xie Yuan, there should be at least the ability of an eighth-level swordsman, among the thirty-six honor guards, even if it is not top-notch, at least it is a midstream level, and it will not lag behind.

But this person was brought up by the king of Fubo County, so I don't know if it's the illegitimate son of that guy or something.

What is the exam in the county now, Xiaohou also understands what is going on, although it is said that this is a ceremony for the imperial court to pick talents, and no one will cheat, but now the power of the county kings in various places is getting bigger and bigger, and they can more or less affect the results of the exam.

The king of Fubo County covers the sky in the north, and it is not easy for him to let anyone pass the exam?

At least you have to find out how much ability this Li Chun has, so that he can make future action arrangements.

Walking all the way, Li Chun obviously felt Xiaohou's temptation.

In fact, he was not averse to this kind of temptation, and he had long been prepared for this kind of preparation to enter a new strange group.

- Even if he goes to a place like the Sword Alliance, there are still people who want to give him a horse.

I'm afraid that in addition to his honor guards, he should have already prepared a welcome ceremony, right?

Li Chun smiled in his heart, followed Xiaohou through the city gate, and entered the post house in the city.

"It's a little late today, so we won't go to see the prince, but we'll meet tomorrow. ”

Xiaohou enthusiastically pointed out the way to Li Chun, "Let's go back to the post house to rest first, all my colleagues are waiting for you, and we will pick you up at night, we won't get drunk or return!"

"What's so embarrassing about that......

Li Chun looked around while being modest.

Ordinarily...... If someone is looking for trouble, it's time to come out, right?

"Xiaohou, is this the last guard of honor? I think it's so powerful, if we all want to wait for him, it doesn't seem to be three heads and six arms!"

Just as Li Chun predicted, just as they were about to enter the gate of the post house, a thunderous voice sounded.

Xiao Hou looked back in amazement, but saw a giant man standing at the door majestically, waving his fist in a vinegar bowl with a face full of disdain.

"Golden ...... Kim Dae-go, why are you here?"

Xiao Hou trembled, his brows furrowed, "Shouldn't you be in the capital?

"This is a good ...... for fakes"

Li Chun secretly slandered in his heart, this Jin Dawu seemed to be a gift prepared for him by his colleagues, and he didn't care about it, nodding slightly.

"This friend is ......"

Xiao Hou grabbed him, and his voice was a little flustered.

"This Jin Dawu is a nerd, originally he was one of the thirty-six honor guard candidates, but later he was brushed down, and he has been indignant, somehow he came here, Li Gongzi, you don't have to pay attention to him, I'll call someone!"

"Brushed down?"

Li Chun was stunned for a moment, the royal family is really bold in doing things, just want to try his own details, so he brought a reckless man from the capital to Tongguan, which is much more exquisite than the temptation of those little families!

"What's going on with it?"

Jin Dawu was furious, glared at Li Chun and gritted his teeth, "I just want to see what you have to do to be the prince's guard!" (To be continued......)
