Volume 15 Chapter 82 The Border (II)
Dao Qingyue's uncle, the old prince of the Purple Golden Flower, is Dao Qingyue's biggest supporter in Canglan territory, and he holds the Northern Legion, one of the four major legions of the empire, in his hands, as long as he is there, no one can shake Dao Qingyue's position as the prince.
And the eldest son of the old prince, that is, Xiao Yong's father, also supports Dao Qingyue, but the second child in the family is the opposite, he has not liked Dao Qingyue since he was a child.
Dao Qingyue hugged Xiao Yong and whispered to Hong Yu about the joints, Hong Yu finally understood that those killers in Weishenme were no longer in Daxia. It's just that he still has some doubts, and there is still a hint of weirdness in things, that is, how could Dao Qingyue's opponent be so blatant?
"This is something that only happened recently, right?" he asked.
The three generals were loyal to the eldest prince, but they didn't know who Hong Yu was, Dao Qingyue said: "This is my good friend, very reliable, you can say anything." ”
"Just half a month ago. ”
Hong Yu calculated, and the time was almost there.
He sighed slightly and asked Dao Qingyue: "Apart from your uncle, what other reliable supporters do you have in Canglan territory?"
Dao Qingyue smiled bitterly: "Even if the rest of the people don't defect to the enemy at this time, at most they will remain neutral, right?"
The three generals were even more gloomy, obviously expecting His Highness to avenge the eldest prince and the old master was no longer realistic.
Dao Qingyue hugged Xiao Yong and patted gently, Xiao Yong has been frightened these days, has been running for a long time, and fell asleep unconsciously after crying and tired.
Dao Qingyue looked at his immature little face, frowning from time to time in her sleep, distressed: "These things should not be borne by children."
The three generals gritted their teeth, knelt down together and said: "Your Highness, the old master has a life-saving grace for us, the old director is victimized by traitors, we are willing to follow His Highness, kill the imperial capital, compete for the throne, and would rather be broken than broken."
Dao Qingyue thought for a while: "Okay, you guys follow us and protect Xiao Yong." ”
The three of them glanced at each other, and said: "Your Highness, although our number is only five hundred, we are all the most elite warriors of the Northern Legion that the old master personally trained back then, and we have the strength to overcome obstacles for Your Highness and defeat any enemy."
Dao Qingyue smiled: "I know the bravery of the Northern Legion, but I already have my own knights." ”
She looked at Hong Yu, Hong Yu subconsciously puffed up his chest, but the aura on his body was too strong, and he didn't look like a knight with both virtue and strength - in fact, in the eyes of the three of them, Hong Yu did not have any of them.
"Your Highness, we don't question your vision for choosing a knight, but he ......"
Hong Yu looked at the three of them with a kind of "resentment" in his eyes, and then beckoned to the back very boringly. This time, the eighty desolate beast knights brought out by Hong Yu released their desolate beasts together, and then ...... There is no then.
The three generals were as excited as they had eaten Hong Yu's blue elixir, and jumped up and down around Hong Yu. Originally, they thought that there was no hope for Dao Qingyue to compete for the throne, which meant that there was no hope for them to avenge their old master, but now that they saw Hong Yu's liliang, they immediately became more confident.
Hong Yu frowned and said to the three of them: "Actually, I don't like to show off like this, but you can question my strength, but you can't let you question His Highness's vision of choosing knights, so what, na, you all see it." ”
Dao Qingyue covered her mouth behind and snickered, if this lazy person doesn't like to show off, no one in the world likes to show off.
"Brave knights from Great Xia, let's kill the imperial capital and go straight to the Yellow Dragon"
"Administering justice for the old master and the eldest son"
"Blood Debt and Blood Repayment"
Hong Yu looked at Dao Qingyue, who raised his head slightly, looking at the far south, the clouds and mist rose in the mountains, and he was confused: "How can things be so simple......
With an increase of five hundred, the ranks are a bit immense.
After passing through the mountains and mountains and traveling for dozens of miles, the mutant ghost mother snow sculpture has been hovering in the sky and on guard, so everyone is not worried about being ambushed.
After thinking about it carefully, Dao Qingyue wrote more than a dozen letters and sent them out. Although she knew that her former supporters were likely to be vacillating by now, she had to fight for it.
The most recent letter was sent to the city lord of the ancient city of Tongsi, two hundred miles away.
The Xiao family controls an area of two hundred miles near the ancient city of Tongsi, and it is a veritable power in the local area, but it is not worth mentioning in the whole Canglan.
When Dao Qingyue left Canglan and went to Great Xia, she also took this road. At that time, Xiao Yinghai once saw off him very diligently, and expressed his intention to take refuge very nakedly between his words.
If such a person had been before, he wouldn't even have the qualifications to go to Dao Qingyue's side, but now, in order to fight for everything he could get, Dao Qingyue took the initiative to write a letter to Xiao Yinghai.
After these letters were sent, the procession continued at the established pace, and a day later, reached the outside of the ancient city of Tons.
According to Hong Yu's suggestion, Dao Qingyue marked his upcoming route to the imperial capital in all the letters. There are at least sixteen dangerous places on this route that can be ambushed, and the reason why Hong Yu did this is also because he is full of confidence in his own strong strength.
He has two first-grade desolate beasts in his hands, one of which is still a hundred-day fire ape that is almost super first-grade, even if one of them is really killed, it can make him return with a feather.
Now Hong Yu's posture is that he is not afraid of the enemy coming, but he is afraid that the enemy will not come.
Hong Yu leaked the route of advance in advance, waiting for the enemy to come to ambush again and again, gradually consuming the opponent's liliang, and when he arrived in the imperial capital, the resistance would be reduced a lot. Otherwise, if all the enemies are concentrated in the imperial capital, it will be a bit tricky at that time.
This bold Jihua, which makes people feel a little "stupid", was actually decided by Hong Yu after careful consideration.
Dao Qingyue trusts him very much, Hong Yu said to do this, then she will do it. At this point, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has shown the potential of the Empress: to employ people without doubt.
The procession stopped outside the ancient city of Tons, a city with a population of less than a million but thousands of years old, and even more so long ago that it was originally built on the ruins of an ancient city, which is why it is called the "Ancient City". It is said that to this day, the residents of the castle can often dig out some strange things from the ground of their houses, and some people often buy them at high prices.
Everyone didn't go into the city, because it wasn't clear what Shadow Hai's attitude was.
The people set up camp ten miles outside the city, and waited for about half an hour, when a richly dressed procession came galloping into the city. The old man at the head was over half a hundred years old, with a thick beard and broad shoulders, and he looked like a bold person.
With the soldiers of the five hundred Northern Legions, Dao Qingyue has equipped the crown prince's guard of honor. Seeing the shadow sea coming, everyone couldn't lose in momentum first. The crown prince's guard of honor was opened, and Dao Qingyue sat on a snow-white war horse, with a heroic posture, like a goddess descending into the world.
Xiao Yinghai turned over and dismounted, knelt down with a thud, and slammed his head on the ground: "Lord of the Ancient City of Tongs, Xiao Yinghai, welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you are the pride of the vicissitudes, you are the pearl of the gods to the mortal world, please accept me and my family, the strongest loyalty"
Dao Qingyue was slightly stunned, then smiled, raised his hand and said: "Get up, I believe that in the future, your loyalty will be duly rewarded."
"Thank you, Your Highness, please go into the city to rest"
The return of Xiao Yinghai was somewhat unexpectedly smooth, and even Hong Yu didn't expect it. He feared that this was a conspiracy to lure everyone into the city and cause harm, so he was doubly careful.
But what surprised him even more was that Xiao Yinghai was respectful to Dao Qingyue along the way, but he was extremely affectionate to Hong Yu.
"Knights of the Xia Dynasty, you have admired your culture for a long time. I wonder if you will be lucky enough to teach my children?"
Hong Yu looked at the seven or eight "children" behind Xiao Yinghai, the oldest was in his early twenties, and the youngest was seventeen, Hong Yu was only seventeen years old this year, let him teach them?
Hong Yu felt that Xiao Yinghai was a little weird.
He asked Dao Qingyue before, respecting the teacher in Canglan is also one of the virtues that the children of the family must abide by, Xiao Yinghai obviously let his children worship Hong Yu as a teacher, in this way, if he rebels again and murders Dao Qingyue and Hong Yu, then his reputation will be completely stinky, and I am afraid that no one will be willing to associate with him in the future.
You can even betray your own child's teacher, who else dares to trust you?
Hong Yu was even more puzzled, and said with a smile: "This, my own cultivation is still very average, and I dare not mislead people's children." ”
Xiao Yinghai did not give up: "Young Master Yu, don't be modest, I have heard about you, attack Di Rong in the north, Hualang in Dongping, resist Chu Yue in the south, the Wild Beast Cavalry Regiment is invincible in the world, and the Hong family has two people who are true in one product."
Hong Yu finally understood that Xiao Yinghai did not hesitate to return to Dao Qingyue, it turned out that it was because of himself.
And Xiao Yinghai looked at Dao Qingyue in front of him, and said in a low voice: "I won't tell you, Yu Shao, I also heard that it was you who accompanied this highness to return, so I decided to offer my loyalty without hesitation." ”
The ancient city of Tongsi is the closest city to Bactria in Canglan. Xiao Yinghai's news is far better than that of the others. There are even some things that have not yet spread in Guangyang County, but Xiao Yinghai has the heart to collect them and knows them very clearly.
Hong Yu smiled and said to him: "Then please rest assured, Your Highness has promised that your loyalty will be repaid." ”
A flash of excitement flashed in the eyes of the Shadow Sea. He was very happy, because now was the time to send charcoal in the snow, no matter how much he played a role in Dao Qingyue's future struggle for the throne, after all, he was the first to be attached, and the benefits in the future would not be less.
Dao Qingyue's promise, coupled with Hong Yu's assurance, Xiao Yinghai's heart was steady. That night, he held a grand banquet in the ancient city of Tongsi, entertaining His Royal Highness Dao Qingyue and Hong Yu, a knight from Great Xia.
This also allowed Hong Yu to see the banquet scene of Canglan, which is different from Daxia's food and does not get tired of being fine, Canglan's food preparation is very rough, but they are ingenious.
The banquet was accompanied by a song and dance performance, and there were only seven main dishes in total, but this was already a very high-level banquet in Canglan territory. The dancers serve the dishes while dancing, and each main course is full of portions, and even decorated in the shape of a volcano or a wild beast. Overall, the taste is not bad, and Hong Yu can eat it.
After getting the support of Xiao Yinghai, Dao Qingyue felt a lot more relaxed, and continued on the road the next day, Xiao Yinghai took his family's cavalry regiment and sent them all the way to a hundred miles away.
After separating from Xiao Yinghai, Hong Yu had a harmless smile on his face, approached Dao Qingyue and whispered, "The front is the first place suitable for ambushes." ”
Dao Qingyue has adapted to her role, and she knows that stepping on the road to the throne requires stepping on the blood of certain people. And ahead, it is likely that this is the beginning of bloodshed.
She took a deep breath and her face became firm: "So, let's give them a huge surprise together." ”
The future Canglan Emperor slowly clenched his fists, his posture was upright, and his martial energy surged, turning into flowers of light, blooming brilliantly outside his body
A mutated ghost mother snow sculpture flew down, and Guan Ling jumped down: "Young master, those people are simply blatant"
Hong Yu frowned, and that strange feeling resurfaced: the enemy seemed to have no scruples, and this posture was very weird.
On the mouth of the eagle cliff, strong winds hunt.
The terrain is steep, surrounded by steep peaks, through which a narrow passage passes, and above the highest peak, the wind is strong, and even the stones on the peaks are the size of millstones, because the smaller ones are blown down the mountain. Ordinary people standing here will be blown away immediately.
The two martial arts powerhouses stood with their hands behind their backs without feeling, looking far away, passing through dozens of miles of mountain roads, and vaguely could see a mighty team.
Beneath the peak where the two of them stood, there were a large number of black-clad warriors, no longer masked, not in the slightest fear of revealing their identities.
The two powerhouses were both in the early stage of the second grade enlightenment, and when they saw the team coming, the two looked at each other: "Are you ready?"
His companion smiled confidently: "Do you still need to prepare? Isn't it just that there is one more group of Great Xia people, and they will all be killed."
The two nodded together.
During the time of their brief conversation, when they looked at Dao Qingyue's team again, they found that dozens of knights suddenly broke away from the team, spread out in a fan shape, and then quickly outflanked them
The two of them wondered for a while: "These people have a problem with their brains? Just because of these dozens of people, they still want to surround us?"
In the sky, there were suddenly a few loud eagle cries, followed by a huge mutant ghost mother snow sculpture roaring.
The two of them laughed together: "Stupid flat-haired brute"
The two of them were about to kill this three-grade desolate beast when they suddenly dropped something from the back of the ghost mother snow sculpture
The thing rolled in the air, stretching its body, and the two were dumbfounded, and they didn't know what to say about the opponent's IQ, because the thing that was thrown at them turned out to be a small and delicate monkey
What is this about?
