"The chivalrous man of Zhao State asks for an audience with his broken sword!"
The land of Xiacai has been the place where Xiang Yan, the great commander of the Chu State, trained his troops in recent years. It is not far from the capital Shouchun and is separated by the Huai River, only a few hundred miles away.
The more than 200,000 soldiers and horses under his command stretch over an area of dozens of miles. The different legions and arms are intertwined with each other, and the most massive training is carried out every day.
The surrounding edges are naturally classified as forbidden areas, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach.
In the military tent of the Chinese shogunate, Grand Sima Xiang Yan was sitting there, commanding and dispatching everything, and handling various military affairs documents, although there were not many military affairs documents in recent years.
Wearing heavy armor, Xiang Liang entered the shogunate after being informed by his guards. He approached with fists in his hands and saluted.
"A chivalrous man?"
"A native of Zhao?"
Xiang Yan was sitting at the top, holding a roll of paper documents in his hand, and kept whispering something. These were all kinds of words that the spies of the Chu State had collected piecemeal from the Qin State Protectorate Academy in recent years.
Xiang Yan read it and found it interesting and eloquent in some aspects. Hearing the words of his son, his eyes wrinkled slightly on his slightly aged face.
I have always disliked chivalrous people.
When those people are not engaged in production, they only play around all day long, and they also make trouble with swords from time to time, causing quite a lot of trouble. Maybe they are doing the right thing, but... there are laws in the country.
Sure enough, those rangers are needed for everything, so what else does Sheji do?
"Father, my son has heard about Can Jian. He was a disciple of Zhao Guoxingcheng Library in the past. He studied under the great hero Zhao Zhen. The old library owner was a famous scholar in the town."
"A few years ago, he and his junior sister entered Xianyang Palace to assassinate Ying Zheng. Unfortunately, they were not successful. Even so, he did not die."
"The man said that he came from Xianyang and brought a document, which he wanted to hand over to his father!"
After staying with his father for a long time, Xiang Liang naturally knew his father's thoughts and was very unhappy with the rangers. However, Can Jian was an extraordinary ranger and a true chivalrous man.
He is not a poor swordsman like those from the Shandong kingdoms who draw their swords at every move.
After the words came out, Yu Canjian gave a brief introduction.
"That matter... my father has heard a little bit about it."
"Assassinate Ying Zheng and escape unscathed. Rumor has it that Ying Zheng's favorite concubine begged for mercy."
"Coming from Xianyang...could it be related to the assassination of Ying Zheng by the Yan State envoy not long ago? What did he say?"
Hearing this, Xiang Yan's expression was moved. He had indeed heard something about the incident a few years ago. It was two rangers from Zhao who assassinated Qin King Ying Zheng but failed.
The reason why I'm interested is because the two of them didn't die, unlike this time... they were killed directly.
He put down the book in his hand, looked at Xiang Liang, and continued to ask.
"Nothing."
Xiang Liang shook his head.
"A document from Xianyang...let him come in."
Xiang Yan pondered for a few breaths, then looked at Xiang Liang and nodded. Since he was a senior disciple of Xingcheng Library, and he was carrying a document from Xianyang, as expected, the document should come to...that person.
Otherwise, the other party will not do the same.
"Yes, father."
Xiang Liang smiled slightly, turned and left.
******
"Is this where Xiang Yan, the great commander of Chu State, trained his troops?"
The military camp stretches around Susu Li. It took a lot of time to spread the news before. Only Can Jian and the three people went to this military camp. The rest of the disguised merchants stayed in another area.
Originally, he didn't want to bring Feixue and Tianming with him, but Junior Sister wanted to follow them, and Can Jian didn't worry about leaving Xiao Tianming alone, so he kept the two of them by his side.
Elite cavalry are constantly patrolling around the military camp, and checkpoint fences are set up at each entrance to make it even more difficult for outsiders to enter.
More than half an hour has passed since the beginning. The three of them have been waiting outside, looking at the military training inside the military camp. Feixue looked at it curiously.
"Been here for several years."
"The status here... is comparable to that of Qin State's Lantian Camp. It is where the future elite divisions of Chu State will be located."
Wearing a plain black robe, with his hair tied up and a crown, he has handsome eyebrows and an elegant temperament. At first glance, he looks more like a Confucian than a chivalrous man.
The spiritual sense flickered, but he did not dare to invade. The whole void of the military camp was filled with iron-blooded energy like fire and rainbow. Before the power of the spiritual sense came close, he felt a great pressure and danger.
"The total number of soldiers here is less than 250,000, which is not even comparable to the 300,000 elite troops of Mengtian Jiuyuan Camp."
Xiao Tianming quietly bent his knees and sat on the grass. The Xianyang Palace had heard about the military training place in Xia Cai of the Chu State, so it was not a secret.
Moreover, I know more.
The status here is similar to that of Qin State's Lantian Camp. To be honest, it is far from Lantian Camp and at most similar to Jiuyuan Camp.
"You dare to speak nonsense!"
Feixue glanced at Xiao Tianming and snorted softly.
His nature has not changed, and he is still thinking about the good things of Qin. Is it possible that he should always regard his enemy as his father, leave the military camp later, and then repair him well and let him know what the real facts are.
"You don't even know that this is Chu's military training ground, and you still don't allow me to tell you?"
As for Feixue Nuxia, Xiao Tianming felt that this person was really hateful. If it weren't for the fact that she knew her mother, and if it wasn't for the fact that her cultivation was completely useless, she would have resisted long ago.
If you didn't take action before, it was to give the other party face, but...it seemed that the other party ignored him. He also came from Xingcheng Library, and he was very different from Can Jian.
"I...why don't I know? I don't want to tell you, I'm just asking casually."
"Don't think that you know everything just because you heard some so-called news in Xianyang Palace. Zhu Xia is so big that if a brat like you really wants to live alone, he will probably end up worse than a beggar."
Being despised by a young boy, Feixue's self-esteem was greatly hurt. A trace of unconscious embarrassment flashed across his face. He just didn't care about going abroad for military service.
But apart from those things, is there anything else Zhu Xiajian doesn’t understand?
"Being a ranger?"
"Have you ever farmed? Have you ever produced? Have you ever weaved?"
"You don't even know how to eat. If Hero Can Sword hadn't been by your side, you wouldn't be any better than me!"
When Xiao Tianming mentioned this point, he wanted to refute it. Along the way, he also saw that the hero Can Jian was in charge of everything, and the Feixue heroine didn't know anything.
I quarrel with myself all day long. I really don’t know how someone like my mother can have such a friend?
Are you saying that your life is not as good as that of a beggar?
The other party is not much better.
"You... are disrespectful. Today I will teach you a lesson for Sister Li!"
Feixue's face was even more ugly. The words of this yellow-haired boy were too irritating. No one had dared to speak like this to him since he was a child. His beautiful eyes were round and round, and he stepped forward, intending to take action.
"Junior sister, stop."
"Someone is coming."
Can Jian was standing by, ignoring everything in front of him.
Suddenly, he had a feeling and looked inside the military camp. There... where the entrance was, a group of men and horses had already appeared, rushing towards them.
"I'll take care of you later."
Feixue stopped, looked at the playful little Tianming who was about to dodge, and laughed angrily. Sister Li's child is really... annoying.
How annoying!
"Let's go!"
Immediately, the three of them got on their horses and faced those approaching.
"I am Xiang Liang of the State of Chu. Your Excellency is the Broken Sword Hero of the State of Zhao, the Flying Snow Girl?"
Xiang Liang was wearing heavy black armor, with a long sword on his waist and belly. He was riding a horse in the lead. He was led by the captain of the previous military camp. He cupped his fists and saluted, and started with a loud voice.
"I don't dare to be a hero, I'm just a man who will perish his country."
“I’ve met General Xiang Liang!”
Broken Sword rode his horse forward and bowed in return, smiling slightly.
“I’ve met General Xiang Liang!”
The flying snow is also approaching.
"Da Sima is currently waiting for you at the Chinese Army Shogunate. Please come with me."
After bowing to each other, Xiang Liang looked at the broken sword in front of him in surprise. This person was a little different from the rumors, but... he was much better than the rumors.
He looked like a Confucian scholar. Thinking of the inheritance of Xingcheng Library, it was understandable. His eyes fell on Feixue Nuxia and the young man next to him. He nodded one after another without asking any questions.
Speaking quickly, he headed towards the depths of the military camp with one hand.
"please!"
Can Jian nodded happily.
"please!"
Xiang Liang laughed loudly again, reined in his horse and turned around. Everyone gathered together, the gate of the military camp was opened, and they rushed directly to the core of the Chinese army.
