371 Walking together
This name is a bit suspicious of being arrogant, could it be that the Seventh Prince took it in a fit of anger at that time? Su Mu didn't want to pay attention to this, the important thing at the moment was to pay close attention to training, and not allow the slightest distraction or slackness. He secretly warned himself in his heart that since he couldn't change reality, he would be a qualified "clown"!
When the formation was being arranged, Hong Aya came: "Seventh Prince, someone outside the palace is looking for you." ”
"Who?"
"I don't know. ”
Su Mu came to the gate of the imperial city, and saw two mighty strong men bending their waists to a delicate girl, their words and demeanor were quite respectful, and they couldn't help but take two quick steps in curiosity, and said to the beauty: "You are looking for me?"
The beauty salon licked his face and hugged his fists and bowed: "Yo, the benefactor is here, I didn't expect the benefactor to be the seventh prince admired by everyone in the Xisi country, I was offended a lot last time, and the seventh prince ...... a lot"
"Okay, what's the matter?"
The hairdresser pointed to the girl next to her: "She, the first master of the folk who has just been born......"
The hairdresser said that it was like a secret attached to Su Mu's ear: "This little girl is a third-level third-level wood-based night ghost warrior, my mother, fortunately I didn't offend her." "Anyway, I can't stop talking.
"Have you offended quite a few people?" Su Mu said as she looked at the girl and said to the hairdresser.
The hairdresser waved her hand again and again: "No, no, our brothers have always been kind and generous." ”
"Yes, yes, yes......" beauty continued.
Su Mu looked at this familiar girl and asked, "Are you looking for me?"
"I came to look for color ink, and she said that if I took the first place, I would let me guard by her side. ”
Nodding suddenly, Su Mu remembered the girl who showed her love to Caimo on the street: "Full moon?"
"Exactly. ”
"Then what are you doing here?" Looking at the superfluous figure of the beauty salon, Su Mu couldn't help asking.
"We have come to repay our benefactors. I heard that the Seventh Prince was going to participate in the Holy War. We only want to stay with the Seven Princes. Do something that the next person does, and you will be satisfied. ”
He replied: "No need, you might as well join the army and go to the front line, kill some doglegs that dominate the country, and you can be regarded as contributing to the country." ”
Beauty immediately said: "As long as the Seventh Prince turns to the frontier one day, we will definitely follow." ”
The hairdresser also said: "Yes, I don't leave a piece of armor to kill his mother." ”
These two sentences made Su Mu a little tempted, hairdressing is nothing, beauty is a night charm warrior. Somewhat usable.
Let's keep it, use it.
He led the three of them through the wide palace courtyard, bypassed the Yaqu Garden, and pointed to a delicate and beautiful courtyard in front of him: "There is Caimo's dormitory, you can go." ”
Yingyue gave a slight salute, and when she was about to go in, she heard Caimo shouting, "Seventh brother, why are you here?"
Su Mu turned his head to look, and was about to speak, when he saw a personable man standing behind Caimo. Three points of elegance, seven points of composure. Intentionally or unintentionally, he glanced at Su Mu.
He didn't have any expression: "Yingyue is looking for you, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." ”
"Seventh Brother ......" Caimo seemed to be afraid that he would disappear, and pulled his shirt tightly, but he didn't know what to say.
Su Mu turned his head slightly: "Let Yingyue stay by your side, she has fulfilled the promise she said before." ”
As soon as he left, the beauty salon immediately followed, and followed him left and right like a door god.
Since the first time Yingyue saw Caimo, her indifferent and frosty face was instantly relieved, and something called tenderness in her eyes was wrapped around Caimo with her eyes.
"Caimo, the competition is over, I won the first, I am willing to protect you for the rest of my life. ”
In the face of Yingyue's straightforward show of love, Caimo suffered from gains and losses, and looked at her in a daze.
The cold mandarin on the side was a little speechless, if you read it correctly, the full moon in front of her should be a girl...... Why?
Night.
Shadow.
A wisp of sorrow.
Silently.
The heart has a million words,
Teardrops in the corners of the eyes.
When Caimo, who was standing in the Yaqu Garden, saw Su Mu, a teardrop unexpectedly fell from his eyes.
Su Mu was practicing water magic against the lake.
"Why is it here again?" he said lightly.
Although she knew that it wasn't like that, Caimo still asked, maybe only then would her seventh brother talk to her more: "Seventh brother, do you stop ignoring me because I have a marriage?"
Su Mu withdrew his qi sword and said: "No, it's just that I'm very surprised that a Xisi country lord will only use his daughter as a bargaining chip to attract foreign aid in the end, and his daughter's happiness is worthless in his eyes. ”
Caimo looked a little flustered, and hurriedly persuaded: "Seventh brother, you must not think like this, my father has devoted his whole life to the country, compared with the hatred of the country, what is Caimo's gain? If my father ignores tens of millions of people, then he is not worthy of being recognized as his father." ”
"I'd rather he did that. ”
Caimo looked at him with some strangeness in his eyes: "I'll really be disappointed if you say that again." ”
"Good...... As long as you have no regrets. It doesn't matter what I do...... Just let me lose my memory forever. ”
Su Mu slapped off a section of the railing in his hand, kicked the broken wood into the lake, and quickly left the Yaqu Garden with the wind under his feet.
The day after tomorrow is the scheduled date for the Furball Mercenary Group to go to the country of Dura to participate in the holy war. Early this morning, there was a guard Xuan Su Mu to go to the Zhengming Lide Palace, Su Mu finished washing and followed him out of the palace.
The Zhengming Lide Hall is a place where the ministers of the Xisi Kingdom discuss important national affairs, Su Mu wondered why Longka wanted to announce him there, is it because of the holy war?
The two rows of guards outside the Lide Hall are mighty, and there are guards watching from the end of the tall steps to the front of the hall.
Entering the hall, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were neatly arranged on both sides, with a unified expression of solemnity.
Longka let Su Mu go to the inner stage and stand on his side.
"It has been more than 700 years since the founding of the Xisi Empire, and the ancestors of the ancestors have expanded it from a small land to such a large country that stands proudly in the vast territory of the Night Charm Continent today.
"Yes, my seventh son, Su Mu. Gifted since childhood. Together with spiritual power, it far surpasses the ancestors. Now that he has been named the number one master of the kingdom of Zes, Chen'er is mild-mannered, does not behave badly, treats the corporal with courtesy, and serves the country wholeheartedly, and is about to go to the country of Dura to participate in the holy war the day after tomorrow, I believe that he will be able to return with full glory.
"Although the country of Xisi is outstanding. But there have never been outstanding achievements in the holy war, and now with my seven sons leading the team, I will definitely be able to be ashamed. Chen'er since the beginning of the promotion of the fourth stage of spiritual power, the domestic prestige has been unprecedentedly high, and it has not stopped, thinking of the reproduction of the ancestral society, and now the seventh son Su Mu is the prince of Xisi State, and he is in politics in the prime minister's Tuge, and he is studying politics together, and he is glorious in Sheji. ”
"The prince's spiritual power is proud. The future is limitless, and the country is fortunate. "The ministers bowed down. shouted in unison.
I don't know anything about such a thing as the establishment of a prince...... Su Mu didn't feel anything wrong, although he hadn't thought that he would become the crown prince one day, but even if it was so sudden, why didn't he kneel slowly, "Erchen will definitely live up to the expectations of the country." ”
When Su Mu was canonized as the crown prince, the whole Xisi country supported it with all their might, and they all applauded it, but it really annoyed one person - the fifth prince.
The fifth prince gathered in his bedroom with the sixth prince on the same day, plotted a series of things that were unfavorable to Su Mu, and promised the sixth prince that he would become a great treasure in the future and share the world with him. Later, he succeeded in his treacherous scheme, and Su Mu, who was harmed, suffered a great grievance, and even Caimo did not forgive him, so he didn't mention it for the time being.
The night before departure, Long Ka personally came to Su Mu's dormitory and said to him in a serious tone: "Old Seven, do you know what holy war means to a country?"
"Glory and dignity. ”
The forced humanoid shì of the frontier has eased slightly, and recently, Longka's mood has calmed down a lot, and his spirit has also been much stronger.
"Vance Country is a small country, but it has a place among the dozens of countries in the Night Charm Continent, and it is precisely because of their Royal Divine Dragon Mercenary Regiment Leader Swift Wind that has led the team to win the Holy War Championship several times, making the world look at the small Vance Kingdom with admiration.
"However, the territory of our Hiss Empire is vast and populous, but it has been repeatedly invaded by other countries, precisely because it has no prestige. And jihad is the best way to establish power. Although war has an efficient attack, it will not be admired by the world after all, but the holy war is a confrontation in a fair and just atmosphere, and the winner is naturally respected, and it is also the best time to promote the prestige of a country. You must grasp it well and lead the team to the finals, so that the Holy War history of the Night Charm Continent will always retain the great achievements of the Xisi Kingdom. ”
"I'll try. Su Mu said lightly in Longka's impassioned affection.
Seeing that he looked lazy, Long Ka didn't care, patted him on the shoulder, and said with sustenance: "Father believes that you will not let me down." Rest early. ”
Su Mu let out a deep sigh that did not match his age.
He has never had the habit of going to bed early, so he ordered Hong Aya and came to Yaqu Garden alone with a heavy heart. Since the last time Hongya was almost given away, Su Mu now sues Hongya wherever she goes, and at the same time, she no longer asks her to hide her movements from others.
It seems that it has been expected for a long time, and there is a melancholy back standing in the pavilion at this time, the lake is as calm as freezing, and the fish swimming or feeling the sadness of the jade people on the shore are gone.
Su Mu really wanted to take a stone and throw it into the lake like before, and the disturbed color ink chased him endlessly.
However, he just walked over quietly, deliberately walking past the gazebo without stopping, and walking on the curved corridor as if walking.
"Unleash your air sword. Caimo whispered.
Su Mu thought that she wanted to guide herself in sword practice, but she refused: "I don't need you to teach me." ”
Suddenly, Su Mu felt that something was coming at a rapid speed behind him, and the ape arm grabbed it lightly, and before he could see what was in his hand, he hurriedly said, "You sneak attack me?"
Caimo looked at him with a little resentment: "That's a hemp ring, and the breath it releases can be quickly absorbed by spiritual power, making your attack slightly paralyzing. Wear it, there is only this one. ”
"I don't want to. Su Mu didn't even think about it.
"That's what you called me from the Demon Realm, and now I'll give it back to you, either throw it away or put it on. ”
Su Mu quietly released the qi sword: "Why do you want me to release the qi sword?"
"Do you know about the Qi Sword Technique?"
"I don't know. ”
"Look closely at its blade. ”
Seeing this, Su Mu was slightly stunned, strictly speaking, there were a few lines of small words on this qi sword, which was equivalent to nothingness: desert and sorrowful, sorrowful, sleepless and difficult to leave. Drunk chanting in the world, wry smile is desolate, and it is difficult to understand the non-worldly mulberry. Take a look at the roar. The husband is unloaded. Thorny. The more serious and dangerous it is, the more ambitious the man is in all directions, who is crazy with me.
Just after reciting it silently, Su Mu felt that the spiritual power in his body was running at twice the usual speed, and he was immediately surprised.
"That's the Qi Sword Technique, each Night Phantom Warrior's Qi Sword has a different sword technique, and reciting it in your mouth can bring out your full potential in a short period of time. Until the spiritual power is completely exhausted, the combat power at this time is equal to twice your usual combat power, but after a while, you will not have the strength to fight again.
"Until the moment of life and death, the Qi Sword Technique must not be used. ”
Su Mu pondered for a moment, raised his head and wanted to ask, but Caimo had already left.
Open the Night Charm Classic, stop under a light stone lamp and look at it carefully, according to the above records, the Holy War was saved when there was no country in the Night Charm Continent. It has never stopped to this day, and it is the best chance for a powerful samurai to prove himself to the world. The nations also took it seriously, and each time they sent the most powerful night warriors to fight.
The venue of this time is in the country of Dura, which makes him somewhat uncomfortable, Wang Yufei is the princess of the country of Dura, and it is indispensable to see her often in the future, as soon as he thinks of her more superb acting skills than the political family and actors, Su Mu is not happy, and he also thought proudly, you quit the marriage because of the disappearance of my spiritual power, and now my spiritual power has recovered, I want to see how the woman of this power faces me, if you ignore me, if you look at me differently and want to get back together, hum... See that I don't kill you.
The book says that the process of jihad is generally a month, and it is necessary to strive for a good ranking and bring some hope to the war-torn country of Xis, who knows that such a country needs heroes, and at the same time shamelessly thinks that he is that hero. Why not? I am talented, proud of my spiritual power, and kind-hearted, dashing, and talented......
In fact, he didn't attach much importance to jihad, what he really wanted to do was to lead a group of soldiers to kill the front line, sweep away a qiē obstacle, and kill all the invaders, that is what a hero does.
With a bit of the pride of the holy war, he returned to the dormitory, wrote a letter overnight, and was about to go to bed when Hong Aya appeared at the door of the bedroom. "Seven Princes, there are many masters on the Holy Battlefield, you ...... Be sure to come back safely. ”
Su Mu covered his mouth and yawned, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll be fine, since you haven't slept, I'll give you this letter now, if my father wants to give you away again, you can give him this letter, unless you want to leave, I won't let others snatch you away." ”
Hong Aya's eyes were red, and she hugged him gently: "The slave is fortunate to be able to serve the Seventh Prince, and there is no resentment in this life." ”
This throw of arms and embraces made both of them feel a fire in their hearts, Su Mu was an instinctive reaction, but Hong Aya was heartfelt.
After all, he was in his youth, and he was tightly hugged by a thinly clothed girl in the middle of the night, and the feeling was still relatively irresistible, but no matter how hard it was to resist, he still had to resist.
What's more, from the impression of everyone around him these days, it can be seen that the former Seven Princes were not only proud of their spiritual power, but also a righteous gentleman. Therefore, I have full respect for this seventh prince in my heart, and I am fortunate to have this identity, and I can't do anything that damages the reputation of the seventh prince.
Looking at this girl who was content as long as she raised her hands, Su Mu felt pity in her heart: "Okay, you go back to sleep, and I'll trouble you to clean up for me tomorrow." ”
Hongya took out a round metal card: "Seventh Prince, this is the talisman I asked for for you, you have to wear it on your body day and night, and it will bless you with peace." ”
Almost all the people with status in the imperial city came out, all the way from the Lide Hall to the gate of the imperial city, and Su Mu and the Maoqiuer mercenary group became the most dazzling focus at this moment.
Su Mu turned around and said, "It's at the door, don't send it." ”
Ronka was smiling, as if he had seen a spectacular achievement.
"Mu'er, this is the most important event in the past five years, you have to do your best to bring back a surprise to the Xisi country. ”
"Father......" Caimo, who was standing beside Han Yuan, walked over, "I want to go too." ”
Longka frowned and glanced at her reproachfully: "Nonsense, what are you going to make a mess with?" Han Yuanxian nephew can give up participating in the holy war for the sake of our Xisi country, and stay here day and night to help us, you should accompany him more." As long as the virtuous nephew is here, you can't leave the Imperial City for a single step. ”
Han Yuan smiled humbly: "King Xisi made fun of it, Han Yuan is only the honorary leader of the Cupid Mercenary Regiment, and he is not qualified to participate in the Holy War. ”
"In any case, I would like to thank my nephew for his warm help. Long Ka obviously didn't want to talk about this at the moment, and turned his head to Su Mu and said, "Although reputation is very important. But don't force it, either. Give up when your safety is at stake. The eagerly awaited ministers of the Zeth Kingdom will not blame you, and the people who have high hopes for you will forgive you. ”
This disguised pressure made Su Mu sneer in his heart, but he said calmly: "I will do my best." ”
Dozens of healthy horses pulled out of the stable were already waiting on the side, Su Mu looked at it carefully, there was no big black horse, he quietly came to the fifth prince, and said in a low voice: "Fifth brother, can you lend me that black horse for a few days?"
The fifth prince smiled and said softly, "No." I'm still waiting for your Immortal Monster Core. In the eyes of others, with such an expression, he thought that he was saying something encouraging to Su Mu.
Su Mu had no choice but to pick a horse that was also black, although it was strong, it could not match the handsomeness of the big black horse. Jumping up, the other mercenaries saw the regiment commander getting on the horse, led the horses in a row in a row, and jumped on the back of the horse at the same time, and the military discipline was strict.
At this time, a short figure walked out of the crowd and cried aggrievedly in a childish voice: "Seventh brother, I'm late." No one woke me up. He rubbed his eyes and cried.
When Su Mu turned around and saw that it was the eighth brother, he jumped off the horse. Squatted in front of him, held his little face and said, "Seventh brother doesn't blame you, don't cry." ”
The eighth brother immediately stopped crying, and his little face was very tight: "Seventh brother, you must enter the top four, you will always be the best, and in the future, I will lead the mercenary group to participate in the holy war like the seventh brother and win glory for the country." He shook his fist and said earnestly.
Su Mu patted him on the head: "Brother Seventh promised you that he would definitely enter the top four." ”
Su Mufu rode on the horse again, Long Ka raised his hand, his chin raised slightly, and the guards immediately shouted: "Open the city gate!"
The huge and heavy city gate inlaid with large copper nails slowly opened with a creaking sound under the joint efforts of the six people, and the scene outside the city gate shocked Su Mu, who was in the lead, and sat on the horse in a daze, with an extremely complicated expression.
The open space in front of the gate of the imperial city was all full of people, the young man was still martial, and it was not unusual to have more, and he felt a lot of it, mixed with many women, children, old and young, and a pair of eager eyes looking at the hairball mercenary group on the horse.
He didn't understand why, there weren't so many people to see off the warriors when they went out on the march, could it be that a small mercenary group was more important than the national army?
These people are very quiet, they are expressing their enthusiasm in a quiet way, there is a little girl with a young mother in her arms stretched out her hand and pointed at Su Mu, and said in vague language: "A few kings and a few ......" was clearly heard by Su Mu.
What shocked him even more was that along the way, the market was all on both sides of the street, and all the usually lively vendors were put away, and people stood motionless and watched the Maoqiuer mercenary group slowly pass by; the restaurant no longer heard the sound of shouting and drinking, and the diners on the second floor poked their heads out and saluted; in front of the craft workshop, the guy was wearing a black apron, holding the tools he was assembling in his hand, and looked at Li Yichen with a smile.
The most exciting thing in the hairball mercenary group is the beauty salon, and the two of them are bathed in people's attention and enjoy it very much.
Along the way, Su Mu thought a lot, they were definitely not just looking at the number one master of the Xisi country, so they should be excited, even fanatical, they shouldn't be so abnormally calm, maybe they are heroes?
Khan Moxie is already participating in the holy war for the third time, according to the path he chose, it is still the same path that Su Mu took when he went to Dura Country for the first time last time, but Su Mu insisted on not stepping into the Kachu country for half a step because of the relationship between Han Yuan and the prince of Kachu, Khan Moxie didn't dare to say much, so he had to bypass the Kachu country and choose a new one, which was the road they were taking at the moment, the endless desert.
The members of the mercenary group didn't understand why the prince didn't leave the flat Kachu country, and had to go around this desert, this kind of unplucked place made people depressed when they saw it.
On the first day of entering the desert, I encountered a strong wind, and the sand and dust were flying all over the sky, and the layers of wind were blown to the hairball mercenary group, and the mounts under him were all horses, and they were not good at running in the desert, and they only walked less than ten kilometers in one day.
In the evening, the tents were set up, and after a day of torture by the wind, everyone rested early.
The wind was howling outside, and it sounded irritating.
Su Mu asked Khan Moxie, who slept in a tent with him: "How many days are there to get out of the desert?"
"It will take about seven days if there is no wind tomorrow, and if there is no wind tomorrow, we can abandon the horse in three days, but I didn't expect the horse to be so useless in the desert. ”
"Horses can't be lost, they are part of the hairball mercenary group, and they can't be used for profit, and they will be discarded. (To be continued......)
