Chapter 637 Catch the wind and wash the dust feast! (3 more)
The setting sun was dying, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the long official road, as if it was dyed with a layer of gilding.
In the distance, a long cavalry caravan was slowly approaching the majestic city wall of the imperial capital.
At the front of the cavalry, a flag was held high, the Black Sun Flag!
The flag with this kind of pattern is the flag of the royal family of the Tianyang Empire, which also shows that this convoy is the envoy of the Tianyang Empire.
There were about 300 elite soldiers accompanying him. According to the diplomatic agreement between the two countries, the visiting envoys could not exceed a thousand people at most. This envoy consisting of 300 sergeants complied with the regulations.
At the head was a general wearing a blazing sun armor, riding a tall horse mixed with the blood of monster beasts, leading the team of envoys and moving forward slowly.
Because they were close to the imperial capital, there was a team of black-armored sergeants at each end of the envoy group. These were soldiers of the Tianbai Empire's black-armored cavalry. They were nominally escorting the envoy group, but of course they also had a certain element of surveillance.
"Open the city gate!"
When the envoys were about a hundred meters away from the city gate, the officer on the city tower announced that the gate would be opened to allow the Tianyang Empire's envoys to pass.
Because the Tianbai Empire had a great war with the demon clan in the northern demon region decades ago, the Tianbai Empire's national power was greatly damaged, and the Tianyang Empire took advantage of the situation and invaded the northwest border. In order to seek stability, the Tianbai Empire could only sign some agreements with the Tianyang Empire.
The unequal agreement even ceded several cities on the northwest border.
After more than ten years of recuperation, the Tianbai Empire has regained some of its strength, but the Tianyang Empire has always regarded itself as a great power and oppressed the Tianbai Empire everywhere.
This time, because of Nangong Yin's incident, they took advantage of the situation and sent troops. On the surface, they wanted to rescue Nangong Yin, but in fact they just found an excuse to ask for some compensation from the Tianbai Empire.
The food appearance of Tianyang Empire is not ugly!
"Fierce Sun War Rider Camp!"
On top of the city tower, there is an old man with white beard and hair, wearing armor, with a pattern of an eagle spreading its wings on his chest.
This old man turned out to be the empire's General Ying Yang, Deng Xian.
At this moment, Deng Xian was the only general still staying in the imperial capital.
Deng Xian clenched his fists. The Yingyang Army under his command had fought fiercely with the Lieyang War Cavalry Battalion several times, and he was very familiar with the middle-aged general who led the team.
Xia Houlie!
He joined the Lieyang War Cavalry Camp at the age of thirty. In just five years, he was promoted from captain to general, and his strength reached the peak of king level!
"The Tianyang royal family obviously didn't have any good intentions when they asked Xia Houlie to lead the team. Although this person is young, he is very ambitious and must be guarded against."
Deng Xian stroked his long beard and asked the deputy general beside him: "Who from the Shenzong sect will come forward to help?" (Shenzong: refers to the Cangqiong sect of the Shenzong who protects the country. Generally, imperial officials refer to Shenzong as the Cangqiong sect.)
"General, the Shenzong side seems to be supported by the second young master Yue Tengfeng and Mr. Wen Ge."
"Yue Tengfeng?"
Deng showed a faint smile and said, "Among the three sons of the Yue family, only Yue Tengfeng has some potential. This time, is Sect Leader Yue finally willing to let his son go through some troubles?"
At a young age, Yue Tengfeng went directly to the Northwest Army, where the conditions were the most difficult, and experienced life and death fighting. Therefore, in the eyes of the older generation of generals, Yue Tengfeng was also highly regarded.
On the contrary, Yue Chengjie and Yue Tianqun are basically ordinary second-generation ancestors with no talent or ability, and basically cannot get into the eyes of these veterans.
"Boom!"
The huge city gate was slowly raised, and the Tianyang Empire's convoy also entered the city in an orderly manner.
Deng Xian frowned. He had not seen anyone from the Cang Qiong Sect for a long time, so he could only walk down the tower to meet the envoy.
After all, in name, the Tianyang Empire is a superior state and cannot be neglected.
At this moment, a group of people walked slowly from behind the city tower. The leaders were none other than Yue Tengfeng and Wen Tingguang.
"finally come!"
Deng Xian stroked his long beard, and suddenly saw a familiar face in the crowd, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink.
"That kid, why are you here?"
Deng Xian was secretly surprised. Logically speaking, in this situation, it would not be this boy's turn to come forward anyway!
The person who surprised Old General Deng was naturally Ling Feng.
After receiving the news that the Tianyang Empire's envoys were about to enter the city, Wen Tingguang hurriedly found Ling Feng, so they were a little slower.
Of course, behind Ling Feng, there was Tuoba Yan, who was disguised as a man, also mixed in with the crowd.
This woman, even pretending to be a maid, was still too dazzling, so she had to glue a big beard on her to slightly cover her peerless appearance.
"Mr. Wenge, second young master!"
Deng Xian bowed his hands to the visitor and said slowly: "The messenger from Tianyang has already arrived at the gate of the city. It's better to go and meet him quickly."
"That's good, General I'm welcome."
Wen Tingguang quickly bowed and saluted. Although he belonged to the Divine Protector Sect and had a high status, he was still several levels lower than General Deng.
"It's rare that General Deng still remembers the younger generation. I am deeply honored."
Yue Tengfeng also quickly bowed and saluted. His military rank was General Zhenyuan, which was just an ordinary general rank, while Deng Xian was a general, so in front of Deng Xian, he could only call himself a subordinate.
"You're not bad, kid."
Deng Xian nodded and smiled, and the group quickly walked down the tower to meet the envoys from the Tianyang Empire.
On the way, Deng Xian looked at Ling Feng from time to time, feeling suspicious in his heart. When did this kid join the Cang Qiong Sect?
Ling Feng secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, the reason behind this is a long story.
"Xilulu!"
The horse neighs!
The leader, Na Xiahou Lie, reined in his horse, jumped off his horse, squinted his eyes, and took a look at this magnificent city.
Sooner or later, the iron hooves of my Lieyang War Cavalry Camp will surely come to the city!
Perhaps because of his youthful success, Xiahou Lie was a powerful war faction in the Tianyang Empire, and he had strong ambitions for the surrounding empires.
And around the envoy group, Liu Hongzhang was already standing by the side, with a smile on his face, as if he had forgotten that he was the elder of the Divine Protector Sect!
"Mr. Liu Ge, why doesn't your sect master personally greet you? Does it mean that I am not qualified enough for your sect master to respond in person?"
Xia Houlie glanced at Liu Hongzhang with disdain. In his eyes, this kind of weak and weak man was no different from a wild dog on the roadside.
"This..." Liu Hongzhang's face changed slightly, but he quickly added a smile: "The sect leader is practicing in seclusion and cannot come. If you are not welcome from afar, you may be missed if you are welcome from afar..."
"General Xiahou, it wouldn't be rude for me to receive you."
At this time, Deng Xian's voice came from far away, and the sound came from far to near. In just a moment, Deng Xian fell in front of Xia Hou Lie, his whole body spread out, and he collided with Xia Hou Lie.
"Deng Deng Deng!"
Xia Houlie took three steps back, his pupils shrank slightly, his eyes were fixed on Deng Xian, and he cupped his fists and saluted, "It turns out to be Old General Deng! The old general's reputation has already been heard by the younger generation. It's a pity that there are talented people in the country.
In a few years, I’m afraid no one will know about it. It’s not bad for a dignified general to end up as a city-defending general. Haha..."
Xia Houlie's words were obviously thorny, mocking Deng Xian as he was old and could only retire in the imperial capital and become a general guarding the city. (To be continued)
