[Chapter 281: Westbound]
"He actually won the battle against Kim Dae-goo?"
When the prince heard the news, he couldn't sit still and jumped up from his chair.
"Not bad. β
Xiao Hou, who had a bandage wrapped around his wrist, smiled wryly.
Originally, I was only worried that Li Chun was a parallel import, but I didn't expect that as soon as he arrived in Tongguan, this kid showed his strong strength, which was pleasantly surprised, but also faintly worried.
He ...... Is he a cultivator?"
The prince rubbed his chin, and his face was a little unsightly.
Among the thirty-six ceremonial guards, there are also no cultivators...... This is a must to enter the Mausoleum of the Heavenly Emperor, what is the purpose of the King of Fubo County arranging such a person to come?
"He's not a cultivator......"
Xiaohou shook his head, if Li Chun crossed that line at only fifteen years old, it would be too terrible - such a person would never be used by the king of Fubo County, and the imperial court could only offer such a person.
Fortunately, Li Chun is not a cultivator yet.
"During the banquet, I have already asked, he only became a ninth-level swordsman before the county exam, and now he has just begun to condense the sword type, and there is still a long way to go to become a cultivator. β
A tenth-level swordsman, the sword type walks the whole body and tempers the body, which is a long and painful process.
If Li Chun wants to become a cultivator, it will take at least several years.
"Rank 9 swordsman, isn't that the same as you?"
The prince's brows furrowed even tighter, "This can actually send Jin Dawu to defeat?"
- Actually, the level of a ninth-level swordsman is very normal, but at first the prince felt that this person was shoehorned in by the king of Fubo County, and he did not agree with his strength;
So when he heard that Li Chun was a ninth-level swordsman, he felt awkward.
Xiao Hou was ashamed and embarrassed.
Speaking of which, Li Chun's cultivation is indeed comparable to him. But he was thrown out by Jin Dawu's reckless man who broke his wrist with one move, but Li Chun won the battle.
How to win, although Xiaohou witnessed it with his own eyes, until now he is still confused.
Li Chun explained, he vibrated with an extremely fast blade, causing Kim Dae-goo's joints to resonate. In the end, due to the large vibration, the joints became numb and failed, and they could not move for a short time.
-- This technique is very mysterious, and it is only useful for people who are the most masculine and strong, such as the body of pure gold and jade, but in fact it has no special significance.
But Xiao Hou still didn't understand.
He could understand that the sword could vibrate, but he couldn't understand why it could affect Kim Dae-goo's joints at the same timeβand even if he did, he wouldn't be able to do it.
Who is this Li Chun?
"This person's cultivation is nothing more than that. But the swordsmanship is unfathomable......"
For people who can't see through themselves, Xiao Hou can only comment like this.
The prince was silent, walked around the room twice, and then nodded slowly.
"I can't imagine that among the thirty-six honor guards, there is such a character, if it can be used by me...... This trip to the Mausoleum of the Heavenly Emperor, our plan. It's another layer of certainty......"
Xiao Hou was startled, and cold sweat was already pouring out of his back.
"Prince ......"
His words have not yet been spoken. The crown prince had already waved his hand and interrupted him, "Don't worry, of course I won't use this person until I fully understand him." β
This time he went to Fengzen, not only about his prince's throne. It was also a matter of importance, and of course he knew what to do.
"We ...... Isn't there still more than a month to go?"
Go out of Tongguan in the west and go to the Mausoleum of the Emperor of the Tianshan Mountains, and you will have to walk for a month at the earliest.
It is said that in ancient times, there was a Silk Road here. It stretches westward, through the vast desert and Gobi, to the western continent of the world.
There were Hu merchants who loved silk, porcelain, and tea, and they would buy them with precious stones and gold, and then ship them back to their hometowns, making ten or even a hundred times the profit with each trip.
Of course, this path may take a year or two.
After the changes in heaven and earth, the Silk Road was naturally broken, and there was no more contact between the east and the west.
- Legend has it that the western continent has been completely overrun by monsters, who are entrenched on the golden throne and rule their subjects with blood and fear.
The road from Tongguan to the Mausoleum of the Emperor of Heaven follows the old road of the former Silk Road, and only this section has not been completely abandoned.
But no matter what, as soon as you get out of Tongguan, you can feel the boundless desolation.
On the second day, the crown prince summoned Li Chun, gave him warm encouragement, rewarded him with money, and gave him a crown and a sword for the guard of honor as usual.
On the third day, the team left Tongguan and embarked on the road of advancement.
"In a sense, the prince is really waiting for me completely......"
Li Chun can also understand the grievances of the others in the Thirty-six Honor Guards.
It can be seen that this time the prince Fengzen was in a hurry, although they seemed to be unconcerned, but in fact, they were very nervous inside.
From the time and hour of exiting, as well as the speed of travel, you can feel that there is something strange.
Although Li Chun has never acted with the crown prince, as the prince of a country, he would never be in such a hurry normally, and he should rest in Tongguan for a few more days.
And going out early in the morning, the speed of walking every day is equivalent to rushing, which is even more abnormal behavior for the pampered prince.
"So when the king of Fubo called you, he should also understand what happened in it, right?"
Jixiang was also a lot smarter, and immediately thought of this.
It is said that the prince can only carry thirty-six honor guards when he travels west, but it just means that he can no longer bring other guards and troops, and it is impossible to reduce the number of people who serve, and most of the honor guards also bring many servants and maids, and only one maid ring to Li Chun is completely shabby.
"Yes, there must be something going on here. β
Li Chun nodded.
It didn't feel good to be kept in the dark, but he wasn't in a hurry.
As they marched deeper, sooner or later he would be able to know the truth about the prince's trip to seal Zen.
The more lively it is, the more interested he becomes.
What Li Chun has now is patience.
Every day in the car, he still grasps the time to practice, hoping to improve himself faster.
These days, the prince will also ask him to ask questions and chat from time to time, which seems to be quite popular.
What makes Li Chun unhappy is that the prince's hobby is playing chess.
"Hahaha, Li Qing, your swordsmanship is wonderful, how can this chess way be so clumsy, let you two sons win this game!"
Every time Li Chun went to the prince's place, such hearty laughter would come from the prince's carriage.
It seems that playing chess with a stinky chess basket like Li Chun and winning the battle made the prince very happy. (To be continued......)
