"Xi Fan is dead, and many people who followed him back then died......"
As the sun sank, the sky became darker and darker, and the copper-colored city walls were gradually painted with an ominous blood-red, and Simon Wang squinted at that side, thinking about the fact that he had gradually left his cronies at the cost of death over the years, and couldn't help but feel a little sentimental. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the spring, the news of death reached the barracks from the capital, and this news did not make him sentimental, but made him a little vigilant.
Sentimentality and vigilance are not the emotions that a strong person should have, and Ximen Wang has been forcibly suppressing these emotions, so he began to feel tired and coughed in the twilight.
The Chaoyang military is a place where the strong are worshipped, and if they are ordinary generals, they are never willing to cough in front of their subordinates and reveal their vulnerable side. But Simon Wang didn't care, because he knew how powerful he was in the eyes of his subordinates, and he knew that he was still strong.
Just like Xu Shi, the general of Zhenguo, he has been coughing for more than ten years, but he is still the first person in the Chaoyang military, whether it is prestige or His Majesty's favor, there will never be anyone to replace him.
Ximen Wang coughed repeatedly, probably thinking that after entering the capital tomorrow, he would be armless and light, and he didn't even have the last trace of fear, so he coughed very happily and even seemed a little presumptuous.
Standing at the door of the post station, the pro-soldier captain looked at the general's generous figure in front of him, listening to the coughing sound, with a worried look on his face, in his eyes, the general was indeed still strong, but in the wasteland, he had seen several battles between the strong man of the Demon Sect and the general, so he was very worried.
At this moment, the ground outside the wall of the post station suddenly trembled slightly, neither the respectful officials in the post station nor the guards of Ximen Wang noticed this trembling.
Although Ximen Wang is a peak powerhouse of martial arts and one of the most powerful and terrifying men in the world, he is not a true god, so it is impossible for his cough to make the earth tremble.
He quietly watched the capital at sunset, then turned and walked into the inn.
Someone was waiting for him in the inn room.
It was an extremely tall and burly man, half a head taller than Ximen Wang, with a solemn expression and a straight body, like an indestructible mountain.
This man was wearing a cloth robe, and traces of armor could be faintly seen under the thin fabric, and a solemn rune aura seeped out from under the cloth.
When Ximen Wang stood in front of this mountain-like man, he was obviously shorter than the other party, but he felt more burly and powerful than the other party, so he didn't need to look up.
"If it is seen that Luo Kedi, the commander of the Western Jin Dynasty Divine Army, suddenly appears in the post station closest to the capital, it will definitely be considered a provocation to Chaoyang. ”
He looked at the man coldly and said, "I know that you are a proud person, but do you really think that I don't have a master in the Chaoyang Heavenly Pivot? In the capital city behind us, there are at least ten people who can easily kill you, and you appear in front of me at this time, completely looking for death." ”
Luo Kedi said: "Since I dare to come, I am naturally not afraid of death, and in my opinion, General Ximen Wang, your return to the capital is more like looking for death, can you come out alive again?"
Ximen Wang's expression remained unchanged, and he said indifferently: "In those small countries of the Southern Jin Dynasty and Song Yue, your status in the Divine Army can allow you to gain infinite respect, but this is outside the capital, in my eyes, you are just a dog raised in charge, what qualifications do you have to talk to me in this tone?"
A trace of anger flashed in the depths of Luo Kedi's eyes, but he forcibly suppressed it, and said with a sneer: "I admit that I am a dog raised by the master of the sect, and even if you are a male lion raised by Haotian, now that you have lost your sharpness and want to return to the capital, do you really want to make your enemy happy?"
Ximen Wang shouted in a deep voice: "This is an agreement reached between General Ben and the academy, looking at the world, who dares to obstruct it? Even your master does not have this ability!"
"The Divine Army would love to see General Ximenwang have a good old age, but are you really willing?"
Luo Kedi took out a letter with a rune fire seal, handed it over, and said, "This is a handwritten letter from the master of the sect, he invited the general to the Western Jin Dynasty...... No, it's back to the Western Jin Dynasty. ”
Simon Wang took the letter, and his expression remained unchanged.
Luo Kedi said: "The Divine Army needs your strength very much, and the Master Sect Master said that returning to old age does not mean that you will live in the countryside forever, and there will always be a time to return." ”
Simon looked at him, his two iron-tough eyebrows raised slightly, and said, "What can you give me?"
Luo Kedi said: "Since you are loyal to the queen mother, then the Western Jin Dynasty Divine Army promises that in the future, in the battle for the throne of Chaoyang, the divine army will do everything in its power to help the prince under the queen mother's knee succeed." ”
With the terrifying strength of the Western Jin Dynasty's Divine Army, throwing out such a heavy bet with no room for a long time in advance has to be said to be a very sincere invitation for Ximen Wang.
However, to Luo Kedi's surprise, in the face of the sincerity of the master of the sect, Ximen Wang did not show the expected emotional reaction at all, but said directly: "Don't send it." ”
Roke suppressed his anger and said, "The Divine Army needs an answer. ”
Ximenwang said: "I am grateful, and then I will seriously consider it, this is the answer." ”
The ground of the meritorious post trembled slightly, and Luo Kedi left quietly, and the officials and people in the capital who were preparing for the welcoming ceremony probably would never know that the commander of the Divine Guard of the Western Jin Dynasty had come to the capital and tried to take General Ximen Wang to another road.
Looking at the handwritten letter from the head of the Western Jin Dynasty in his hand, Ximen Wang showed a sneering smile on his face.
He knew that this was indeed a handwritten letter from the head of the sect, because over the years, he had received seven handwritten letters from the head of the sect, and he was very familiar with the handwriting on the cover of the letter.
What he ridiculed was the intention of the Western Jin Dynasty Divine Army -- to help the empress's own prince ascend to the throne of Chaoyang? If the Western Jin Dynasty Divine Army knew that the queen was his most beloved sister Xia, and that the prince had half of the blood of the desolate man and the breath of Mingzong, would the big men in the Divine Army still dare to do this?
The mocking smile on Ximen Wang's face turned faintly into self-deprecation, and his fingers were slightly forced, ready to crush this handwritten letter from the head of the Western Jin Dynasty into powder, but he didn't know why, he hesitated for a moment and then stopped moving.
General Ximen Wang, who has been stationed in the north for decades for the Chaoyang Empire, did not mention any conditions, and was willing to disarm and return to old age.
In the early morning, under the enthusiastic guidance of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and under the loving gaze of the Yulin Army, Ximen Wang put on a brand new armor and rode to the capital with dozens of personal soldiers.
The official road in front of the east gate of the capital has already been sprinkled and cleaned, and in the solemn music, His Royal Highness Prince Chaoyang Chu Tianchen took hundreds of civil and military officials out of the city to wait, and countless celebrities in the city were waiting for him.
The imperial court had already prepared its will, and was waiting for Ximen to enter the palace to present it, and at this time it was quietly resting in the palace under the will, with a dazzling reward and title.
Looking at the black crowd of welcome from afar, Ximen Wang ignored the persuasion of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, turned over and dismounted in advance, and pulled Ma Jiang to walk towards that direction.
His Royal Highness looked at this scene, shook his head with a smile, waved his hand away from the eunuchs beside him, and walked towards him at the same time.
In front of the exit pavilion outside the east gate, the two met.
Ximen Wang bowed to His Royal Highness the Prince with a calm expression.
Chu Tianchen was a little difficult to calm down, looked at his dark face as iron, and said with emotion: "It's good to come back." ”
The courtiers of Chaoyang did not like General Ximenwang, who was known for his arrogance and extravagance.
Because for decades, it has been rumored in the world that Simon wanted to kill prisoners, indiscriminately kill innocents and pretend to be military exploits, I don't know how many laws have been violated, but there has been no evidence, and everyone knows that this general is deeply valued by the empress, so it is equivalent to saying that he is also very valued by His Majesty the Emperor.
Probably because of this reason, the people of the capital do not love General Ximen Wang as sincerely as they do for the other three generals of the empire, although Ximen Wang does not kill Chaoyang people indiscriminately, but the people of the capital who are simple and direct in thinking always feel that violence is not a real skill.
After all, Ximen Wang has been stationed in the cold and bitter northern Xinjiang for the empire for decades, and he is still warmly welcomed by the capital today, and the crowds on both sides of the street let out cheers and applause from time to time.
