Tens of thousands of black-scaled armored troops with black ink like clouds, stretching for two miles, like a mound tiger, like a sleeping dragon heading towards the city of Baiyue County, as if the army was on the verge of the scene, the crisp sound of tens of thousands of heavy cavalry armor colliding, accompanied by the thunder of the iron hooves of the war horse brazenly stepping on the ground, although the big bow was not opened, and the long knife was hidden in the sheath, but the cold solemn killing intention still could not be concealed.

The breeze came to his face, lifting a strand of gray hair in his ears, Qianjiang's five fingers were short and thick, and his big hand full of calluses held the reins, and his right hand pointed straight ahead:

"Huer, is the city of Baiyue County in front?"

Qianjiang's voice was low and hoarse, like a stagnant water without ripples.

Hu Er Nai was the border general who recovered when Qianjiang conquered other countries, the reputation of the Black Scale Army was abroad, and the prestige of the great general Qianjiang spread all over the country, even higher than the Qianlong Emperor.

Huer is not yet thirty years old, just at the time of ambition and ambition, he has admired Qianjiang's majestic and heroic hair since he was a child, but when the army of the Black Scale Army pressed the border, Qianjiang only had a few words, so he received it under his command and appointed a deputy general.

Huer is proficient in tactics and strategy, and is also an irreplaceable fierce general under the command of Qianjiang, seeing that his face is angular, his complexion is fair, his eyes are slightly sunken, and his eyes reveal a slight blue color, at a glance, he knows that this person is from a foreign country.

Staring at the tall city in front of him, Huer responded:

"General Hui, it's Baiyue County. ”

Qianjiang nodded slightly, and then stopped talking.

The two of them rode war horses, walking side by side at the front of the army, Hu Er glanced at Qianjiang with a fluttering look, and then slowly spoke:

"General, how long will it take for us to return to the Imperial City?"

"I don't know, let me decide. ”

Qianjiang said calmly.

Seeing that Hu'er was embarrassed, as if he was struggling, and then as if he had made up his mind:

"This time we withdrew 30,000 troops from the border pass, but there are still 10,000 troops left in the imperial city, if the six princes can successfully ascend the throne, it will be the best, but the second prince has always been at odds with the general, if he becomes emperor, he will inevitably obstruct the Black Scale Army, and even be put on a major crime of rebellion. ”

"There are 200,000 forbidden troops stationed in the imperial city, although the black scale army has the ability to be ten with one, but the imperial city is located in the plain, the dangerous land of infinite mountains and mountains, with a steady stream of people and sea tactics, it will definitely be able to consume us alive, and the forbidden army has strong combat power, which is by no means comparable to ordinary troops, our 20,000 soldiers are still far from the imperial city, and it is too late to return to the rescue, so that the lives of the 10,000 soldiers are in danger!"

Listening to what Huer said, Qianjiang's face was not shocked, as if the sky was collapsing and in front of him, and he could not change his face:

"What you said, how could I not know that leaving those 10,000 soldiers is to prove that the Black Scale Army will not rebel, and this is also for the sake of the emperor's face. ”

"The royal brother was born to the same mother as me, I have been fighting abroad over the years, and have made great military achievements, and the black scale army has been growing, and the ministers of the court and the central government have long been quite jealous of me, and have repeatedly written to the imperial brother, saying that the black scale army has the capital of rebellion, but I am afraid that there is also a heart of rebellion, and let it go, and the future will be endless. ”

"That's the case, the imperial brother still trusts me, the Black Scale Army, this friendship and open-mindedness, so that the Qianlong Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, I have made a promise with the imperial brother that eternal life will never betray the dynasty, but now the imperial brother is old, time is running out, but still has not set up a crown prince, among the many heirs, only Qianqi Song and Qianyuan Cong are still wise, but although the two of them are exquisite, full of poetry and books, but it is not what the imperial brother is pleased with. ”

What Qianjiang said made Huer confused, and he was really a little puzzled:

"The character of the two princes is sharp, as piercing as a sharp sword, and the judgment of doing things is also decisive, without dragging the mud and water, the six princes have a restrained and calm personality, good at layout and planning, the temperament of the two is different, but each has its own strengths, and they are both good at imperial power, aside from other factors, no matter who is on the throne, they can be the emperor. ”

Qianjiang shook his head slightly and smiled:

"What the imperial brother wants now is not an emperor's mental technique, but a prosperous monarch who can really help the world and care for the people. ”

"The Qianlong Dynasty has been established for 500 years, and now it is in its prime, but the extreme things must be reversed, which also indicates the decline of the dynasty, it is not far away, and now the ministers in the court have a stable position, most of them are virtuous ministers, and the system is accessible, but the middle and lower officials protect each other, and the officials protect each other. ”

"Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, this is like a fire thunder hidden in the powder magazine, the consequences are endless, and the consequences of a sudden explosion one day will be catastrophic. ”

"The imperial brother knows all this, but he is already old, and his heart is more than enough, so the imperial brother needs to elect a real selfless emperor to rectify the dynasty, abolish the mediocre and incompetent officials, save the people from fire and water, pull out this deadly hidden danger, and win the hearts of the people again. ”

Speaking of this, but seeing Qianjiang, he couldn't help but sigh secretly:

"It's a pity that although the hidden chess song and the hidden fall are extremely intelligent, but over the years, they have been intoxicated with party struggle, and they are fond of those who make imperial power, although they also know the suffering of the people, but they are not the real people who have the world in their hearts, and the supreme emperor's throne is far better than Li Min Changping in their minds. ”

"In troubled times, what is needed is the capital of the hero, and the two princes are suitable, but now that the prosperous era is peaceful, their ascension to the throne will only accelerate the Qianlong Dynasty to the death of the country. ”

"If they can understand what the imperial brother thinks in his heart, give up the party struggle, and serve the country and the people, even if the imperial brother knows that he did it deliberately, he will pass on his throne, after all, if they can have such a mind, the dynasty will be strong for a thousand years!"

Huer was thorough, and after some dialing in Qianjiang, he was already clear in his heart at this time, but he didn't care who was the emperor, he only cared about the future and fate of the Black Scale Army:

"General, the troubled times are divided, and it is difficult to come out of the prosperous times, which is an inconvenient reason for eternity, but if the second prince is called the emperor, the life of the Black Scale Army may not be easy. ”

Seeing Qianjiang, he didn't care much, his right hand slowly put on the handle of the quaint long knife on his waist, and said calmly:

"I promised to assist the imperial brother, but I didn't have to be loyal to the Hidden Dragon Dynasty in this life, whether it is the Hidden Chess Song or the Hidden Fall, I am not very optimistic, to help the Hidden Fall, it is that Feng Yu has a good relationship with him, and it is also for the sake of the future of the Black Scale Army. ”

"If that day really comes, the 100,000 army of the Black Scale Army, who has not been afraid of anyone, is a big deal to raise troops to go abroad and establish himself as the king, I will not hurt a single grass and tree and a life in the Hidden Dragon Dynasty. ”

Hearing this, the stone in Huer's heart fell to the ground, and when he saw him bow his hand, his tone was firm:

"We will follow us to the death!"

I saw that several other generals also responded together:

"We will follow us to the death!"

Wang Yi, who was standing outside the South City Gate with a wooden box in his hand, was still waiting anxiously, seeing him wandering back and forth, like an ant on a hot pot:

"What's the matter with my cousin?!"

"Gurgle~Gurgle~"

I only heard the very dense sound of horses' hooves coming from behind, and the earth was shaking, and the small stones on the ground, mixed with dust, were constantly beating......

Wang Yi was startled and hurriedly looked back, this sight made his whole body tremble, and his calves became weak:

"This—This is ......"

Seeing that on the official road leading to the city of Baiyue County, a group of black-armored troops came with a whining voice, this army was endless, fierce and violent, Wang Yi only glanced at it a few times, and was shocked and restless, and his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

"I, my, oh my God!"

The army was only half a mile away from him, and he saw Wang Yi like a frightened rabbit, running away without a shadow.

"Knock~Knock~Knock~"

The sound of horses' hooves also came into the south gate, and the earth seemed to shake, and the people who were waiting to open the city gate had seen such a battle, and they were already panicking.

"What's going on, is this an earthquake?!"

"I don't know, I don't know, let's run!"

"Run!"

The people suddenly scattered birds and beasts, together with their own goods and commodities, carriages and horses could not take care of it.

The soldiers defending the city could not have heard this very clearly, and the general who defended the city looked at the people who were panicked and shouted:

"Don't worry, it's not an earthquake, there's an army coming to the city, don't panic!"

The general is also a martial artist who is in cultivation, and his voice is full of anger and loud, but around this, the people still keep dissuading and fleeing one after another.

Zhang Si, who was about to leave, heard that there seemed to be a large army entering the city, and his originally dim eyes immediately brightened.

"Little Four, let's hurry up, lest you block the way of the military master for a while, and if you are killed, you will have to say that you will be bitter!"

Liu Laohan pulled Zhang Si's arm and wanted to pull him away, but Liu Laohan was too old, how could he drag Zhang Si, a young man.

"No, no, you can't go, when the army enters the city, it will definitely open the city gate, my mother is saved, my mother is saved!"

Looking at Zhang Si with an excited face, Liu Laohan couldn't watch him go to death:

"Little Four, those military masters are ruthless characters who kill people without blinking, if you go to beg them, if you are not careful, you will lose your life. ”

Now that the willows are bright and another village, how can Zhang Si let go of this hard-won opportunity:

"I'll just wait here for the gates to open!"

Zhang Si looked stubborn, Liu Laohan knew that he couldn't persuade him, and he was helpless in his heart, and sighed.

Half a mile away from the city of Baiyue County, Qianjiang pulled the reins in his hand, and the war horse slowly stopped the horse's hooves:

"It's here. ”

Qianjiang then looked at the surrounding generals and ordered:

"Huer will enter the city with General Ben, and the rest will wait outside the city for orders!"

"Yes!"

Several generals surrendered their orders in unison.
