Chapter 1: Departure
Two years ago, the Northern Plains Kingdom, the emperor collapsed!
The crown prince ascended the throne, and there was no turmoil in the country. However, the neighboring Tianyue Kingdom did not know why it raised 500,000 troops to attack the Northern Plains, and it took fifteen cities in three days, which can be called a god speed. The new emperor urgently ordered Chen Hong, the god of war, to lead an army of 300,000 to meet the enemy.
The battle between the two armies of nearly a million soldiers stretched for thousands of miles, and every day people were killed in battle, and some people were awarded for meritorious service.
A year ago, Chen Hongzhan, the god of war and general of the Northern Plains Kingdom, died in Nanping. Thus ended the war, which had lasted for almost a year.
As a result, the Northern Plains Kingdom lost fifteen cities and paid 30,000 taels of silver. and, nearly 300,000 troops were killed in battle. Also, the fall of the god of war.
A month ago, the emperor summoned Chen Hong's only son, Chen Mo, to join the Praetorian Guard as a lieutenant. Subsequently, Chen Mo wrote a letter, saying that his talent was insufficient, and on the grounds that he was still immersed in the grief of his father's death in battle, he politely refused the Holy Grace's request to return home.
After the emperor repeatedly ordered to keep him to no avail, he finally agreed to Chen Mo's request.
......
“...... The general died in battle for the country, and I was very saddened ....... Feng Chen Mo was the city lord of Phantom Moon City, and he was given 10,000 taels of gold, a pound of silk, and 100 pieces of cloth... Chin!"
In front of the incense case, more than a dozen people respectfully bent down to listen to an old eunuch with a white face and beard reading the holy decree. Until the final recitation of the holy decree fell silent. The old eunuch looked at the young man with an expressionless face and did not make a sound.
"Childe, thank you!" Wang Sanhai sighed in his heart, took a half step forward, and reminded in a low voice.
"Oh, thank the emperor for his favor!" the young man took two steps forward as if he had just woken up from a dream, and said thank you.
"The holy will has been conveyed, so our family will not bother. The old eunuch ignored the crowd and turned to walk away.
"Third uncle, what should I do next?" After the old eunuch walked away, the young man turned around and asked.
Wang Sanhai looked at the young man's blank eyes, and a sad emotion surged in his heart. Thinking back to the general's instructions, he then suppressed his emotions and said in a low voice: "The things have been packed, and we will leave for Phantom Moon City early tomorrow morning." ”
"Oh, then I'll go back to sleep first, I don't know why, I've been sleeping more and more lately. The boy yawned and went back to his room.
The sadness in Wang Sanhai's eyes became even stronger, and he looked back at the fourteen people behind him. Three of them were in their thirties and forties, and the others were in their mid-twenties. Although he understood their thoughts, at this time, he still said: "If you want to go, you can still go now." ”
After Wang Sanhai finished speaking, one of the middle-aged men with long thief eyebrows and rat eyes smiled: "What the third brother said, the family of the tiger and the sixth child and the three of us have already settled in Phantom Moon City. The other little ones are orphans and have nothing to worry about. Besides, they all know what the situation is, and the general's kindness to us will not be finished in ten lifetimes, which one will do such an ungrateful thing. ”
"Yes. ”
"The third master doesn't need to say much, since we stay, we won't leave. ”
"Third Master, is this looking down on us?"
"The third brother is too worried. ”
Wang Sanhai took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "That's good, I won't say more, and then I will follow the general's instructions to protect the young master to live safely and continue his own bloodline." ”
"Wow!" everyone responded violently, and with Wang Sanhai's wave, they dispersed to prepare.
......
The Imperial Palace, as the center of power in the Northern Plains Kingdom, is not strictly defended. Three steps and one post, five steps and one tip, and there are more royal worship groups lurking in all corners. Even if a great grandmaster-level powerhouse comes, he will die here.
Taiming Palace, the hall where the emperor received important ministers. If anyone can enter the Taiming Hall to meet the emperor, then congratulations, because it means that you are going to be promoted.
In the main hall at this moment, a man about thirty years old, with a majestic face and a dark gold dragon robe, was sitting on the dragon chair, looking at the secret report in his hand, this person was the emperor of the Northern Plains Kingdom. The emperor looked at the secret report while listening to the old eunuch below who had gone to deliver the edict recounting the process.
“...... That Chen Mo was still like that, dumbfounded and unresponsive. After speaking, the old eunuch bowed down and stood below, his feet as if they were rooted in the ground, motionless.
The emperor ignored the old eunuch, looked at the secret report, and said to himself: "Wang Sanhai, a native of Wangjiazhai in Fengping City, is known for strategy, has been in the army for fifteen years, and is Chen Hong's right-hand man.
Zhang Hu, a master of the innate realm, met Chen Hong twenty years ago and was rescued by Chen Hong many times.
Li Daoren, the sixth in the family, was killed by bandits in Lijia Village ten years ago, but fortunately Chen Hong passed by and rescued Li Daoren, a congenital master.
Tie Kui, the congenital realm, was nicknamed the rat master because of his appearance. Ten years ago, he joined the army and rose step by step under Chen Hong's hands. Five years ago, his son was kidnapped by the bloody Jiang Fan and asked for 10,000 taels of gold. After Chen Hong heard about it, he found Jiang Fan alone, and the two didn't know what to talk about, and later Chen Hong was seriously injured and came back with Tiekui's son.
The others are all orphans, and their talents are very good, all of them have reached the sixth level or more of the day after tomorrow, and one of them is already the ninth level of the day after tomorrow, which is good!"
The emperor put down the secret report, glanced at the old eunuch and said, "These are all talents, but it's a pity that they can't serve the country." Well, let them accompany that nerd, and it can be regarded as escorting his son, so that he will not be left behind. ”
After hearing this, the old eunuch immediately bowed and saluted: "The emperor is benevolent!"
"Hmm!"
The old slave retired. The old eunuch bowed and retreated, and did not breathe a sigh of relief until he retreated outside the door and closed the door of the temple. Even as a strong grandmaster and served the previous emperor, he was terrified in the face of this emperor who had been on the throne for two years, and this emperor was too moody.
The next day, the people got up early and started their busy day in order to make a living.
A year ago, the god of war died in battle, and the hearts of the people were like the sky had fallen, even the old emperor did not have that kind of intense emotion. After a year, under the over-control of people with hearts, people have forgotten the god of war in their hearts and continue their lives.
Speaking of the god of war Chen Hong, I have to say that his son Chen Mo said that dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes and mice, and sons can make holes, but when it comes to Chen Hong, Chen Mo and his son have become tiger fathers and dogs.
But it's not that Chen Mo is a gentleman, not only is he not a gentleman, but he is knowledgeable. However, the brain is not good. It's stupid, it's not stupid, it's normal, but it's too slow.
For example, Chen Mo is walking on the street, if you greet him, then you will have to wait a while to hear Chen Mo's reply to you. How to say it, Chen Mo is like being pressed the slow button, his reaction is about ten times that of a normal person, of course, it is ten times negative!
Today is the day when Chen Mo returns to his hometown, and no one comes to send him. Compared with before, when Chen Hong was still there, there was an endless stream of people visiting the mansion, and the phrase "people taking tea and cooling" was very suitable for the description of the three carriages and more than a dozen people outside the city gate.
Except for those who have a heart, no one pays attention to the group, and they are gradually moving away.
Ten miles away, a man and a horse stood quietly in the center of the official road and stopped Chen Mo and his party who were moving forward.
"What's the matter, Third Uncle?" After standing quietly for a long time, Chen Mo's puzzled voice came out of the carriage in front of him.
Wang Sanhai looked at the person in front of him with complicated eyes, turned around and whispered, "Zang Ping is here." ”
There was another silence, and Chen Mo's happy words came out: "Ah, Brother Ping is here!" With the words, Chen Mo walked out of the carriage. Seeing a man and a horse in front of him, his eyes lit up, and he ran towards the man, shouting as he ran: "Brother Ping, you are here, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Zang Ping looked at the comer, his serious expression slowed down, showed a hint of a smile, and simply turned over and dismounted. Walking two steps quickly, he hugged Chen Mo who was running over, and his majestic eyes rolled over with tears.
"Tap Brother Ping, I'm almost out of breath. Hearing the voice, Zang Ping hurriedly let go of his arms. Chen Mo didn't have any cultivation, and his momentary excitement was inevitably a little too violent.
"Brother Ping, are you going back to Phantom Moon City with me?"
Facing Chen Mo's sincere eyes, Zang Ping felt a pain in his heart and sighed secretly. patted Chen Mo on the shoulder, and said in a heavy tone: "You go first, I still have something to do, and I will go to you when the matter is done." ”
"Okay. Chen Mo was a little unhappy, his best friend and brother didn't go with him!
"Hmm, I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep!" he fell backwards as soon as he closed his eyes.
Zang Ping's eyes were quick, and he caught Chen Mo as soon as he rushed forward. Looking at the sleeping Chen Mo, Zang Ping's eyes were red, staring at Wang Sanhai, who came to the two of them at some point, and roared in a low voice: "What's going on?"
Wang Sanhai also replied with a serious expression: "I don't know, since the general went, Gongzi has been sleepy, getting worse day by day, and now he sleeps all day, except for eating, he is awake for less than an hour every day." ”
Zang Ping was stunned as if he had been struck by lightning, and then he was even more angry: "Why don't you notify me? Why don't you find a doctor for treatment?"
Wang Sanhai's calm tone sounded again: "I looked, I found a lot of Langzhong, but there was no way." The imperial doctor in the palace also came to see it, but he couldn't find the reason, but said that because the general's death hit him too hard, he prescribed a few prescriptions to calm the nerves. ”
"Roar!" A low roar sounded, and the momentum on Zang Ping's body was wantonly emanated, and a gust of wind was hung, but it did not affect Chen Mo in the slightest.
Wang Sanhai's clothes fluttered, his body was also swaying from side to side, and he was worthy of being the youngest grandmaster in Beiyuan, this strength was really terrifying. With his old innate strength, he couldn't stop the momentum of the other party.
"After returning to Phantom Moon City and settling down, I will visit the ghost fairy, and the ghost fairy will have the means to cure the young master. ”
The wild momentum was indifferent, Zang Ping took a deep look at Wang Sanhai and sent Chen Mo to him. Turning back to the horse, his figure gradually drifted away, leaving only a sentence floating in Wang Sanhai's ears.
"The ghost fairy is moody, and he kills people first to save people. And insatiable, I went back to raise gold and silver, and sent it to Phantom Moon City as quickly as possible. ”
Wang Sanhai looked at the departing Zang Ping and didn't say a word. Put Chen Mo in the carriage, gave an order, and set off again.
The rising sun shone on the people, elongating their figures. Fade into the horizon.
