After Zhang Zhongjiu heard Chu Yujia's words, he was almost out of breath with laughter, and after raising his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, he said: "I said that you kid is not dreaming, if you really have that ability, you come, I want to see what you can do to fight with me." ”

Seeing that Chu Yujia was about to step forward, Zhuang Jiade, who was behind Chu Yujia, pursed his lips, and finally stepped forward and whispered: "Major General......"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Chu Yujia raising his hand, and shook his head slightly at him to signal him not to worry.

There is no need for Zhuang Jiade to speak, Chu Yujia also knows what he has to say, it is nothing more than that Chu Yujia is still the young general who lived under Chu Qianwen's wing before.

It's just that none of them know that the reason why Chu Yujia looks like a scholar is only because his father asked him to hide his skills, so he can't show his edge too much.

"I said, two, can you go out and fight if you want to do it, the things in our inn are very expensive. ”

The lady of the charm didn't know when she had come down from the stairs, half-leaning and half-leaning on the handle of the escalator, and said to the two of them with a smile while sipping melon seeds.

"Since you want to die, then I will fulfill you. ”

Zhang Zhongjiu sneered, turned around and said as he walked out: "If you have a kind, come out with me to fight." ”

Zhang Zhongjiu came to the courtyard of the inn and stood still, casually threw the long sword to a cavalryman behind him, and then said: "Don't say that I bullied you, since you don't use weapons, then I don't use them either." ”

"I have to say, your skills are really good, but you use them in the wrong place. ”

"Stop talking nonsense, lead to death!"

When the words fell, Zhang Zhongjiu suddenly touched the ground with one foot, and the whole person shot towards Chu Yujia like an arrow from the string.

Zhang Zhongjiu's skills are really unfamiliar, and he has already reached the realm of a second-grade grandmaster, and he can kill twenty ordinary martial artists with one move.

It's a pity that he met Chu Yujia.

Zhang Zhongjiu's punch slammed in, and Chu Yujia didn't even mean to dodge, still standing there, as if he didn't see the fist.

It's just that this fell in the eyes of Zhang Zhongjiu and others, because Zhang Zhongjiu's movements were too fast, Chu Yujia didn't have time to react.

A group of veterans of the Northwest Army also secretly clenched their fists, and a group of cavalry were ready to cheer for Zhang Zhongjiu.

When Zhang Zhongjiu saw such a scene, he had even begun to imagine the pleasure after punching Chu Yujia's head.

At that time, the little girl can take it for herself, hide it in her newly bought house and pamper it alone, and the little girl can use it to blackmail the bastard surnamed Qi.

At that time, I will be a beneficiary and a beauty, which is really a great blessing in the world.

Unconsciously, a cold smile appeared on Zhang Zhongjiu's face.

It's just that after less than a second, he couldn't laugh anymore because he saw Chu Yujia move.

Chu Yujia still didn't move his steps, his waist opened slightly sideways to avoid Zhang Zhongjiu's powerful punch, and then he slapped Zhang Zhongjiu's chest with a lightning speed.

The speed of this palm was as fast as lightning, and now the distance between the two was too close, Zhang Zhongjiu wanted to parry but it was too late.

"Bang ......"

Chu Yujia's palm hit Zhang Zhongjiu's chest, slapping Zhang Zhongjiu's whole person upside down and flying out, rolling on the ground for more than a dozen laps before stopping.

By the time the cavalry lifted Zhang Zhongjiu up from the ground, he was already bleeding from his mouth and nose.

Such a scene made everyone around them look stupid.

Zhang Zhongjiu, who was so brave in the field just now, even Zhang Zhongjiu, who was quite famous in the entire Yueling City, still looked like a high-ranking master just now, but after this moment, he was actually slapped and put down?

"The young general is mighty, and the young general is domineering!"

"The major general fought well, the major general fought well!"

"Special mother, this evil breath has finally come out. ”

The veterans of the Northwest Army raised their arms and shouted one by one at this moment.

They really didn't expect that their own major general would have such skills.

And more importantly, if the Major General is not here, then they are the ones who die here today.

Zhang Zhongjiu is also a man, and he struggled to stand up by himself, but unfortunately he had no strength.

Chu Yujia still stood there with that indifferent appearance, looked at Zhang Zhongjiu in front of him, and said indifferently: "Don't get out yet?"

Facing Chu Yujia, Zhang Zhongjiu felt powerless, he also practiced swords, and naturally could feel how much sword intent was contained in Chu Yujia's palm just now.

With this sword intent alone, Zhang Zhongjiu is not his opponent.

Zhang Zhongjiuyi is not a fool, with Chu Yujia's ability now, plus with the help of these veterans of the Northwest Army, his fifty light cavalry is really not an opponent.

The brutality of the veteran soldiers of the Northwest Army is not difficult to see from the fight just now, if it weren't for Zhang Zhongjiu crushing them with absolute force, their hundred or so light cavalry really wouldn't be the opponents of others.

You must know that there is a condescending advantage in the immediate step, and there is such a master as Zhang Zhongjiu among them, but the veterans of the Northwest Army can still kill more than 50 light cavalry with less than 40 casualties, which shows how strong these Northwest veterans are.

Nowadays, although there are only about 20 old pawns in the Northwest left, and everyone is still hanging the lottery, but with the existence of such a master as Chu Yujia, his more than 40 people are really not enough to see.

Zhang Zhongjiu stared at Chu Yujia coldly, and snorted heavily: "You wait for me......"

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Zhongjiu stepped on the war horse with the support of his light horsemen.

Chu Yujia slowly turned around and looked at the faces on his side, as well as the corpses on the ground.

This was the first time that Chu Yujia felt regret for his indifference, he really didn't know that these were actually veterans of the Northwest Army, he really thought that these were just ordinary martial artists in the rivers and lakes.

He didn't want to take care of the affairs of the rivers and lakes, but he had to take care of the affairs of the Northwest Army.

Because the Northwest Army poured his father's life's work, and his father worked hard for this army all his life.

He had seen his father of the second rank of the official residence more than once, and he wanted to go to the door in person to ask for a fourth grade internal history, so that the family could equip the Northwest Army with grain, grass and military pay according to the normal amount.

It is an eternal truth to be a soldier and send troops to get food, but when he arrived in the Northwest Army, he had to rely on his father to work hard and run around, and even had to be self-reliant many times.

Who would have imagined that the iron army in the northwest would not even be able to allocate one weapon to each person when it was first formed, and there were less than ten arrows per person.

Such an army has been guarding the northwest for nearly 20 years.

When he saw those corpses, Chu Yujia couldn't help but think, if that old man was still there, would his soldiers still be killed like this, would they still be bullied like this?

Zhuang Jiade and Meng Feihang stood behind Chu Yujia.

Chu Yujia looked at the remnant sun that was about to set in the sky, and muttered, "What is the purpose of being a soldier?"

"And what is the purpose of the war?"

"Is it because of the four words to protect the family and defend the country?"

"This is a bit too big, it's not what I think in my heart, not everyone thinks that way in my heart, and we ordinary people don't have such lofty ideals. ”

"I think that when you are a soldier and fight, you will pin your head to the belt of your trousers, and you will never come back if you go out on this expedition, just because you want to have a full bite to eat, and you want to protect your wife and children from outsiders. ”

"But now?"

"Northwest Iron Rider...... Northwest Iron Rider ......"

Chu Yujia shook his head and smiled bitterly, smiling and smiling, some crystals appeared in his eyes.

"The Northwest Iron Cavalry can't even protect his wife and children, so he still talks about protecting his family and defending the country. ”

"If that old man was still around, would he let this happen?"

Chu Yujia shook his head and smiled: "He won't, he loves his soldiers more than his family, or rather, his soldiers are also his family, for his soldiers, he can calmly take the whole family to die together." ”

Listening to Chu Yujia's words, Zhuang Jiade pursed his mouth tightly, the eyes of this veteran who was still over forty years old were red, and he couldn't help but sigh: "The general has a hard life, and he has worked hard all his life, I have followed the general for more than 20 years, from the northeast to the northwest, from the beginning of the fight with the Jin country, to the later fight with the Gumo country, there are too many brothers who are not there along the way, and there are too many brothers who are gone somehow, looking back on the past 20 years, it is also very exciting." ”

"In my Zhuang Jiade's life, fighting with the general all the way is the only glory in my life, and fighting with the general is also my pride, and it is also my honor to fight side by side with the general and behead the enemy under the leadership of the general. ”

"I also believe that I am not the only one who thinks so, but the vast majority of officers and men in the Northwest Army think so. ”

"And I also believe that once the major general can return to the Northwest Army, those old brothers will definitely return to the army in the future to help the major general rebuild the Northwest Army, and under the leadership of the major general, our Northwest Army will also be able to regain the glory of the day. ”

"The glory of the day?"

Chu Yujia looked into the distance, the remnant sun fell into the horizon, and the sky and the earth tended to be dark.

On this day, Chu Yujia did not stay in the inn for too long, but went to Yueling City with Zhuang Jiade and other veterans of the Northwest Army, and Meng Feihang rarely continued to complain.

Two days later, Chu Yujia and his party arrived outside Yueling City.

Looking at the huge city with a high river and a wide river, Chu Yujia was also full of thoughts.

Before I knew it, I had been away from here for three years, and the city had not changed in the past three years, but the people in the city had already changed.

Although the country of Ye is barren, Yueling City is the capital after all, and the prosperity is far from being comparable to other county capitals.

The soldiers of the Qi State in the southeast approached the city, which did not seem to affect the hustle and bustle of Yueling City at all.

Everywhere you can see the boy with the slave and the servant, and everywhere you can see the ladies with the maid to pick up small objects in the market.

Of course, more of them are the common people.

The people here are naturally lucky compared to the border, because even if the Huling Pass is breached, it seems to have nothing to do with them, after all, the royal court will definitely have a countermeasure, as long as the enemy's army does not come to the city, they can continue to live in such a comfortable way.
