29 The pressure of cultivation!
Princess Wu only stayed in Zhenyuan Pass for one day, shocked the military attaches in the General's Palace, and appointed the veteran Wu Rong to take over the garrison of Zhenyuan Pass, which did not take much time.
On the contrary, Ye Chen and Yan Han led the troops to raid the house, which took a lot of time, and in one day, they raided more than a dozen military attaches' mansions and seized a large number of property, which was used to reward soldiers and boost morale. If it weren't for Princess Wu Xiao in a hurry, they would probably be able to copy Zhenyuan Pass to the bottom.
Stimulated by a large amount of money, the morale of the 2,000 soldiers in Zhenyuanguan was really boosted, and a large number of people were also recruited to carry rolling wood and boulders to assist in defending the city. The dull and depressed atmosphere in Zhenyuan Pass was swept away.
After sunset.
Princess Wu, Ye Chen and his party took advantage of the night to go out of the Zhenyuan Pass of Wuguo.
This is the battlefield of Wuning and Ningxia, the terrain is open, and it has experienced at least hundreds of years of war, and the anger is extremely heavy, and it is even rumored that there is a war spirit. In addition, there are horse thieves raging, mountain bandit fortresses, rebel armies and rebels entrenched, and there is no land for hundreds of miles. ”
On the endless Heishui Plain outside the town, the four of them saw brightly lit camps, and light cavalry roaming around the field to prevent sneak attacks.
"Look, the battalion of the Ning ** team!"
"Looking at the number of this camp, I'm afraid there are more than five or six thousand soldiers stationed here. This is to prepare for the attack on Zhenyuan Pass!"
"Princess, let's go! These troops can't capture Zhenyuan Pass for a while. There is the old general Wu guarding the town, and he is stable and old, and the garrison of Zhenyuan Pass can't make a big mistake. ”
Wei Xuanyu said.
Princess Wu nodded, and galloped on her horse.
Although the two countries are at war, it is impossible to deploy defenses everywhere on the vast frontier. It was still very easy for four mid-to-late stage martial artists to cross the border under the cover of night on a sweaty horse.
The four of them avoided the Ningguo camp and the cavalry patrolling the wandering place, and entered the Heishui Plain
Almost at the same time as Princess Wu and the others left, the town was far away.
More than ten fast riders came galloping and arrived at the pass.
"Who?"
"National Teacher's ** personal disciple, Zheng Zhicheng!"
A cold, young voice shouted.
The people of the city hurriedly creaked the gates open.
Zheng Zhicheng hurriedly entered Zhenyuan Pass, asked the gatekeeper, and found that Princess Wu had left Zhenyuan Pass and entered Heishuiyuan. He originally sent a book to Ma Rushan, wanting to delay Princess Wu for a day or two, but it didn't play a big role.
"Her destination is not Zhenyuanguan, what is the original work of going to Blackwater?"
Zheng Zhicheng's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly opened a portable map.
"After the Black Water Plain, it is the Ning Kingdom. Wu Guo and Ning Guo have already fallen into a vicious war, and she can't change the overall situation when she sends Ning Guo, and she won't enter the place of war at night. Could it be that she was on the orders of the lord of the country and asked for help from other big countries? But in this situation, who will send troops to save the country?"
Zheng Zhicheng was shocked.
His fingers followed the map, through the Ning Kingdom, and continued to other countries. Eventually, arrive at a mysterious place, which is not marked on this map.
But Zheng Zhicheng, as a personal disciple of the national teacher, has been to this place and knows the existence of this place.
When Zheng Zhicheng saw this place, his eyes suddenly shrank with tingle, and he thought of a possibility, which suddenly made him cold.
"No, she's not going to another country, she's going to that place!"
Zheng Zhicheng's eyes were crimson and he roared in a low voice.
"During this period, the master disobeyed the lord of the Wu Kingdom, cut off the connection between the Wu Kingdom and the Wu clan of the Jinding Xianmen, and allowed the siege of the Wu Kingdom by the surrounding four countries. If Princess Wu is directly in contact with the Shimen Wu clan, the Xianmen will directly intervene. I'm afraid that Master's plot will change dramatically!"
Zheng Zhicheng is very clear about what he wants to do. This matter is very complicated, in addition to seizing power in the Wu Kingdom, it is also directly related to the struggle within the Jinding Immortal Gate.
"She must be stopped from going to that place!"
As soon as Zheng Zhicheng put away the map, his face with a faint whip mark looked extremely gloomy.
He did not delay, and rode out of the town alone. After leaving the border of Wuguo, the danger has increased greatly, and it is a burden to bring too many people. On the contrary, it is not as good as him, a ninth-level martial artist in the body refining period, and it is more convenient to walk alone
Black Water Won.
The four fast horses galloped, and when it was close to dawn, they had already galloped a hundred and fifty miles away, deep into the hinterland of the Black Water Plain.
When the four of them saw that it was dawn, they stopped and found a small jungle in a remote place to rest.
In the complicated land of Heisuyuan, it is easy to be discovered by horse thieves, mountain bandits, and enemy soldiers during the day, and track them. They hurried at night while the sky was dark, and during the day they found a remote place to sleep and rest to recover their strength.
Walking in the morning and at night, it is easy to avoid all kinds of dangers.
Princess Wu was tired for a day, found a dry grass, set up the simple tent carried with the horse, and fell asleep.
Wei Xuanyu took a water bag and went to the nearby to find a source for a stream of water, and fed water and grass to the four sweaty horses.
Yan Han practiced his sword technique in the jungle, one move at a time, and kept practicing repeatedly. The boring moves, the cultivation day after day, seemed to be nothing to him.
"I haven't slept for a few days! Let's finish today's tempering first!"
Ye Chen's expression was a little tired, he glanced at the cold not far away, and secretly admired.
"Yan Han's will is extremely strong, as long as he has time, he is almost always practicing the Tiger Leaping Sword Method, and he is rarely interested in other things. The proficiency level of the first four moves of Yan Han is much higher than mine, and the success rate of the Tiger Leap triple slash with a single attack is extremely powerful, and the success rate is more than ninety!"
"If you talk about hard work and perseverance, there are more than 200 students in the upper courtyard of Beilu Academy, and few can compare to the severe cold. This kind of accumulation did not take effect for a day or two, but after a year or two, the effect was clearly visible. Zheng Zhicheng became a town-level martial artist at the age of twenty, and Yan Han is now sixteen years old, and I am afraid that he will be able to do it before he is twenty years old. ”
Ye Chen felt a lot of pressure.
Ye Chen leaned against a tree, sat cross-legged, swallowed a piece of ninth-grade blood python grass, swallowed it in his abdomen, and began today's body quenching cultivation. Soon, a thick heat appeared on his body, his face was ruddy, and his blood was vigorous.
Under the stimulation of the blood python herb power, the qi and blood in his body were already full, and the qi and blood were constantly transformed into purer qi and blood essence.
He is now halfway through his cultivation at the seventh level of the body refining period, and he is sprinting towards the eighth layer of the body refining stage with all his might.
One hour, two hours.
Princess Wu was sleeping, and in a daze, she suddenly heard the sound of fierce sword qi breaking through the air in her ears, and she was suddenly awakened.
She lifted the tent and looked out, only to see that in the jungle not far away, Yan Han was practicing the sword technique, and a faint sword qi burst out from the sword light, which was the sword qi that could only be released at the seventh layer of the refining period.
"When did Yan Han break through the seventh layer of the body refining stage?!"
Princess Wu was startled, turned her head to Wei Xuanyu and asked, "How long have I been asleep?"
"Princess Lingxiang, you slept for two hours. It's not noon yet, so let's eat something and rest later. We set out in the evening after sunset. ”
Wei Xuanyu was meditating and cultivating, and opened her eyes. She seemed to guess Little Princess Wu's doubts, "Senior Brother Yan Han has been cultivating to the sixth layer of the body refining stage for a while, and he has been stagnant at the sixth layer for several months, and it is not strange that he has broken through to the seventh layer of the body refining stage today. Ye Chen's cultivation is faster than Senior Brother Yan Han, he has already refined his body for more than seven layers, and he is afraid that he is not far from the eighth layer of refining body, I really don't know how he cultivates. Now only I am the weakest, and I am still in the sixth layer of the refining stage. ”
Wei Xuanyu smiled faintly and bitterly. In fact, she is not weak in Beilu Academy, but compared to Yan Han and Ye Chen, two stronger martial artists, she is much worse. The sixth layer of the refining period to the seventh layer of the refining period is a hurdle, and the strength of the past is completely different.
"They cultivate so fast?"
Princess Wu Lingxiang showed a look of surprise, and looked at a tree a little farther away with complicated eyes, and was closing her eyes to quench her body and cultivating, Ye Chen was in a thick heat. Ye Chen's qi and blood were getting stronger and stronger day by day, and she could almost feel it.
She graduated from Beilu Academy two years ago and was at the sixth level of the body refining stage, and now she is at the seventh level of the body refining stage, she has always thought that her cultivation has been very fast, and few people in the martial arts can match it. But these geniuses found that among the students of Beilu Academy, there were many strong people who were stronger than her. After only sleeping for two hours, the severe cold was already at the seventh level of the refining period. Maybe in a few days, she woke up and found that Ye Chen had already reached the eighth layer of the refining stage.
"I don't rest, I practice for three or four hours. We're going through the Black Water Plains tonight! There are soldiers here and there, and there are horse thieves everywhere, so we can't stay long. ”
Princess Wu pursed her lips and said unconvinced.
