Perhaps because he was too anxious, Xu Chen reduced the two-day journey to one day, his legs were like the wind, and his long hair was like flowing.

When Xu Chen actually came to the outside of Wuxian Town, he was surprised by everything in front of him, and the fighting or confrontation scene he had expected did not exist at all.

There is a yellow flag fluttering at the head of the military town, which is exactly what the prince brings when he travels, and in Chaoyang China, only two people can travel with a flag of this color.

"Could it be that Chu Yang has already entered the military town?"

While thinking, he walked towards the entrance of the military town.

It is said that it is a military town, in fact, it is better to say that it is a city, a place where hundreds of thousands of troops are stationed and live, you can imagine its majestic spirit, not to mention the military strength, the energy to eat is always there, hundreds of thousands of people, even a vendor selling oil cakes here can also make a lot of money.

As Xu Chen approached step by step, the soldiers at the head of the city had already begun to pay attention to this dusty young man, there were also many people coming in and out every day, transporting grain, visiting relatives, and naturally the people who had lived in this town.

However, I have to say that Xu Chen's dress is different from these people, and what is even more different is naturally his state, the continuous day of running has already exhausted him, and even on the way here, he still scolded in his heart, why there is no coachman in Liuyang City who is willing to come here.

When Xu Chen really walked to the city, the soldiers under the city were angry, he was not angry with Xu Chen, but the instinctive awareness of dangerous creatures, fear led to attack, this is the reaction that any creature will have.

Obviously, the soldier saw Xu Chen's exhaustion, but he also saw that Xu Chen was by no means an ordinary person.

"You, what are you doing!"

As he spoke, the soldier held the saber at his waist in one hand, and his other hand was about to point to Xu Chen's nose.

However, at this moment, Xu Chen and the soldier felt a gust of breeze blowing together, but this breeze was so special, because it was a breeze blowing from top to bottom.

For a while, Xu Chen, who wanted to make up some excuses, forgot something, and looked overhead unconsciously with the soldiers guarding the city.

At that moment, Xu Chen saw a middle-aged man in green clothes descending from the sky, and before the soldiers guarding the city could react, the middle-aged man had already come to Xu Chen, "Xu Chen?"

"Huh?"

Xu Chen already had in his heart, originally, he instinctively wanted to ask for his head, this was a reaction that anyone would have, a reaction of self-preservation, however, at that moment, Xu Chen still nodded, after all, the other party could recognize himself so decisively, things were not so simple.

"Good!"

The middle-aged man smiled slightly, but with a certain sense of coldness, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already entered, but there will be a secret discussion with the general today, so the general sent me to greet the prince." ”

"You, do you know I'll be there today?"

Listening to Xu Chen's words, the other party smiled, shook his head and said, "I've been waiting on it for five days." Childe, don't enter this military town, I'll take you to the camp in front of you, have a good rest, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will look for you when he arrives. ”

Although the middle-aged man's tone was polite, there was no room for negotiation in his eyes.

"Prince, how is he, Prince?"

Xu Chen asked tentatively.

Who would have thought that the other party would laugh out loud, "Don't worry! There are bold people in this world, and there are also people who are extremely stupid, but there are no generals who are both bold and stupid." ”

After listening to the other party's words, Xu Chen was shocked, it was obvious that the other party had seen through his heart and everything he was worried about.

"Come on, you don't want to stand here all night, do you?"

Saying that, the middle-aged man walked towards the north in a dashing manner, and Xu Chen naturally followed, timid, Xu Chen didn't have it.

......

There is a meadow outside the barracks, and the few trees and leaves on the meadow have long since fallen, and standing here, the eyes can easily penetrate the clear sky and fall farther away. Like the black smoke from the burning of something in the distant wasteland, and the wounded soldiers lying on the creaking carriage.

The situation in the border area is calm now, but in the depths of the wasteland, skirmishes between the Chaoyang cavalry and the steppe cavalry still occur occasionally, and the bodies and wounded will be transported back every few days.

Xu Chen sat on the meadow and looked northwest, his hand resting on his lap slowly rubbed a small sign, which was the fire talisman given to him by the six demon foxes that day, and for a while, an indescribable feeling came to his heart, whether it was pity or helplessness.

There is a vague black line under the high sky in the northwest direction, which is inconspicuous when it looks at it. But he had been there, and he knew how tall and majestic the rolling hills were, and he felt more and more that the sky and the wasteland were indescribably vast.

Just as Xu Chen was thinking about it, a young officer sat next to Xu Chen, his light armor was polished, looking at the clear wasteland and the wounded soldiers on the carriage, his sword eyebrows were slightly frowned and said: "I really don't know what the General's Mansion is thinking, I heard that General Ximen still hasn't mobilized, this is really too unusual." ”

This soldier is the middle-aged man in Tsing Yi, but he is wearing armor at this time, and he has a more heroic taste.

Xu Chen looked at him and smiled, and said, "Your general is probably still thinking, where can you use a cattle slaughtering knife to kill chickens?"

These days, the mood of the middle-aged people is already a little depressed, and then listening to Xu Chen say this, he retorted: "Cattle slaughtering knife? hehe, whether it is a cattle slaughtering knife or a pedicure knife, it has to be fought to know, there have been few wars over the years, and the soldiers on our side have long lost their fighting spirit, I don't know how many people can take up knives and guns, eat Liang as a soldier, and now there is only food left." ”

For some reason, the middle-aged man suddenly frowned, "I don't know, why did this Qiang suddenly move their army south, could it be that they slaughtered again, and they want to rob us again?"

At this time, Xu Chen's heart was cold, and he said: "It can't really be caused by the disrespect that everyone had for the Beiqiang envoy when the Mountain Sect was due, it's better not, otherwise there are some responsibilities in it, war, after all, is not a trivial matter, and it will be a disaster." ”

In order not to look embarrassed, or to be able to get more information from the other party's mouth, he smiled and said, "Then do you think this looks like a fight?"

The middle-aged man pointed to the carriages under the meadow and said, "There are small-scale battles all year round, and I don't think it's not that I don't fight, but it's not time yet." ”

Xu Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "When?"

The middle-aged man frowned and asked, "Aren't you the prince's close guard?"

Xu Chen shook his head.

The middle-aged man didn't think about it, and said, "You are not the prince's cronies?"

Xu Chen said angrily: "Nonsense...... Of course not. ”

"Oh, then I can understand. ”

The middle-aged man hesitated and said, "It's because the Qiang army moved south for one person." ”

Xu Chen looked at the middle-aged man and said, "What person?"

The Qiang people have been far away from the wasteland for more than a thousand years, and it is a legend that is too old to remember for the people of the Central Plains.

The middle-aged man didn't answer directly, "But I heard that there are only a few hundred thousand Qiang people left, are they all soldiers?

Xu Chen said with a smile: "As long as there is enough food, they can give birth." ”

The middle-aged man was silent for a long time and asked, "Then what should we do......?" Alas, that's been a decades-old thing, and what are we talking about? ”

Xu Chen looked at the black smoke in the distance of the Reckless Wasteland, thought for a moment and said, "Looking at the current situation, as long as General Ximen has no accidents, there will probably be no problems. So, the person you're talking about is General Simon, right?"

The middle-aged man shook his head, "That's not what I said. ”

"However, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and according to the words of my old elder, no one is anyone's slave, no one is anyone's vassal, and this is the one who really has the right. ”

As he spoke, the middle-aged man slapped his empty palm, "This multiple-choice question is really not easy to do, but don't worry, no matter how stupid the general is, he won't kill him...... Ahem!"

He wanted to speak, but he stopped.

Xu Chen also smiled slightly, calmly and slightly, what kind of words to say to any kind of person, especially in this military camp.
