196 Su Xin Shi Tai and the young generals in the Zhenbei Army
"Brother Long Tao, the person I'm talking about seems to be a little late. But it's just right. It's about the same time."
When Long Tao heard this, he looked in the direction of the sound of horse hooves...
In an instant, even the daring Long Tao felt his face freeze slightly.
That direction to the north.
Rising from the horizon, endless heavy armored cavalry were like a torrent of black armor.
War horses gallop and iron hooves trample the earth.
The turf on the Yagu plain was blown away and rolled up into the air like smoke and dust.
In the smoke and dust composed of turf and sand, the king's flag with the word "Yan" in black letters and red background surged like a raging tide.
The armor was clanging, and a torrent of heavy black armor came from the horizon in people's sight.
This cavalry was like a black wave capable of swallowing the earth, approaching the battlefield in an instant.
The sound of sharp arrows piercing the air was heard.
He is the light-cavalry-rider-shooter in the Zhenbei Army.
Under such absolute pressure, the beasts without the control of the trainer could no longer resist and fled in all directions.
This is an absolute cavalry charge.
This is the most terrifying war machine in the world.
The commanding general leading this team was none other than the right general of the Zhenbei Army, Zhu Gongqi, whom he had not seen for a long time.
Around him, there are several young generals, all of whom are rookies in the military.
After Yi Xiangtian, the leader of the Yi family, was knocked to the ground by Zhu Gongqi's arrow, he was suddenly caught by a young general.
The young general wore the armor of the Zhenbei Army and held a long sword in his hand.
Originally, he was dressed as a general of the Zhenbei Army, even somewhat majestic and handsome. However, behind his scarlet cloak, he actually carried a pair of light guqins.
It felt a little weird for a while.
Come to think of it, maybe the young general liked the sound of the guqin so much that he was almost obsessed with it, so much so that he never forgot to bring the guqin with him even to the battlefield.
"Zhenbei Army's right general Zhu Gongqi, following the king's order, led his army to greet the crown prince!"
Zhu Gongqi went straight to where Yan Wulu was, got off his horse, and saluted respectfully in front of Yan Wulu.
He was tall and almost oval in stature. He rode a tall war horse and led a group of sergeants. For a time, he directly separated the distance between Yan Wulu and the rest of the Jianghu people.
Yan Wulu helped Zhu Gongqi up.
He felt that Zhu Gongqi seemed to be much stronger than before, and he felt that he should have entered the realm of an eighth-level warrior.
Zhu Gongqi, on the other hand, carefully guarded Yan Wulu as he approached.
He looked warily at the crowd of people in the world in front of him, and said in a low voice——
"Your Majesty, do we need to kill all the Jianghu people in front of us?"
"Don't worry, General Xiaozhu, they are all our own people, and they are also ordered to protect Wulu."
When Zhu Gongqi heard this, it was obvious that he actually knew this.
However, he still said——
"The prince is a charlatan and is unreliable."
"...Xiao Zhu, I'm just worried that if they leak the news about the Zhenbei Army's departure from the North, it will cause unnecessary trouble."
Yan Wulu chuckled and responded -
"The Zhenbei Army cannot leave the North without the emperor's order."
"...It's just that we are not the Zhenbei Army now. We should say...a caravan? a bandit army? a rebel army? Or what about the crown prince's bodyguard? I think this is quite good."
Zhu Gongqi understood what Yan Wulu meant, but he still seemed to think it would be better to kill those Jianghu people.
He couldn't help but look at Master Su Xin and others cautiously...
Master Su Xin felt the hostility coming from the warriors on the battlefield.
She understood in her heart, smiled softly on her face, held the Buddha's name in her hand, and said -
"Generals, please rest assured."
"...The poor nun and others are only acting on the orders of the major shareholder of the Wulin Alliance. As for the matter between Beidi and the Daqian court, it is not something that we Jianghu people should get involved in."
Master Su Xin's words made Zhu Gongqi lower his guard slightly.
Yan Wulu came out to smooth things over.
The battlefield is a foregone conclusion.
The sergeants of the Zhenbei Army began to clean up the battlefield...
Yi Xiangtian was captured by the young general brought by Zhu Gongqi.
At that time, Yi Xiangtian had just been shot to the ground by an arrow, and the young general directly stepped on the stirrup and flew towards him.
After catching Yi Xiangtian, he punched, kicked and beat him violently, and finally captured him with black iron shackles.
Li Jinfeng, She Chiman and others were controlled by the masters of the martial arts alliance. They were luckier than Yi Xiangtian. They were not beaten hard but were simply captured.
The herd was driven back, and most of the beasts were killed or injured.
During the battle on the cliff, after the reinforcements went up, they discovered that Zhang Chunhua was also here.
Although she, Ye Changtian, Li Mieling, and Bai Yue were not able to stop the six powerful warriors who were on the master list.
However, the four of them worked together and killed the remaining dozens of martial arts masters here one by one before the martial arts knights arrived.
The knights from the Martial Arts Alliance came, and suddenly they saw corpses everywhere with such tragic deaths...
Such a vicious and cruel killing method made the decent knights of the Wulin Alliance almost mistake the four of them as cruel and unscrupulous members of the Demon Cult of the Western Regions.
It was Ye Changtian, the calmer and more upright person among the four, who spoke up in time to stop the farce of "the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple".
When the battlefield was finally being cleaned, it was discovered that Lu Minghui was missing.
No one can be seen alive, and no body can be seen dead.
Chen Lei, the descendant of Lou Dao Guan who had last played against him, said that it seemed that Lu Minghui jumped underground at that time and never saw him again.
Yan Wulu thought to himself, "Could this be Tu Xingsun's 'Escape from Earth Technique'? Sure enough, the world is so big that there are many wonders."
In this ambush, although the enemy's ambush circle failed, Yi Xiangtian and others themselves suffered heavy losses.
But after all, it also brought certain losses to Yan Wulu's sergeants.
Yan Wulu decided——
The army was stationed nearby, rested overnight, and set out again tomorrow.
The knights of the Wulin League also want to accompany the Zhenbei Army to protect Yan Wulu's safety.
Zhu Gongqi originally wanted to refuse.
But the other party said that even if they refused, they would follow him from a distance until the prince arrived in the North.
It's funny to think about it.
Yan Wulu agreed and invited them to stay in the camp together.
During this period, Yan Wulu also called out Master Su Xin alone, and the two of them talked in a quiet place on the edge of the camp——
"Master Su Xin, I don't know if Miss Qin is fine in Emei."
When Master Su Xin heard this, she knew of course that Yan Wulu was asking about Qin Shumian.
"My poor nun, everything is well. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
Master Su Xin gave a slight salute, changed the subject, and continued——
"...It's just that the Emei sect's technique pays attention to the purity of the six roots to achieve miraculous effects. But the disciple of the poor nun is not first-class in qualifications. If he is still in the world now, I am afraid that he will not be too high in the future. Achievement."
Yan Wulu was silent for a while after hearing this.
To be honest, he felt like he didn't do anything. How could Qin Shumian like him?
Is it because he apparently saved her life?
Is it because he provides her with food, drink, clothing and shelter for free every day?
Is it because I... grow old? I don't take a shower? Ahem...
Yan Wulu shook his head to dispel the messy thoughts in his mind.
Master Su Xin also lamented, "Asking what love is in the world, it only means that life and death are mutually beneficial."
Yan Wulu was speechless in his heart. He felt that this old nun...this beautiful nun, please stop talking nonsense. You are speaking too harshly.
"Master Su Xin, I have been mentioning the major shareholder of Wulin Alliance before."
"...Wulu, I have heard that the Wulin Alliance was founded by several shareholders, but I don't know who the "major shareholder" Master Su Xin calls it?"
Yan Wulu changed the topic.
This problem was actually one of the main reasons why he went out to Master Su Xin alone this time.
"I apologize for the inconvenience of informing this poor nun," Master Su Xin said simply.
Yan Wulu could only smile awkwardly for a while.
The two of them were still walking and chatting around the camp, chatting about various things.
But by chance, he happened to bump into Zhu Gongqi who was personally leading the patrol to inspect the camp.
Zhu Gongqi immediately asked the soldiers behind him to hide.
Even he himself hid behind a pillar in the military camp, and then the cat stretched out half of its head to "peep"...
It’s hard to imagine how a pillar could block Zhu Gongqi’s tall, oval figure.
There is a funny feeling of an elephant hiding behind a small tree...
But Zhu Gongqi doesn't care about these now, he is more concerned about-
"His Royal Highness, why are you so close to this nun Su Xin? You even chatted alone, chatting while walking."
"...Could it be that the prince has recently changed his taste and doesn't like little beauties anymore? He likes pretty nuns who are abstinent?!"
Zhu Gongqi’s expression suddenly changed…
Then, he smiled slightly evilly.
He seemed to have thought of a new way to please the prince.
After Master Suxin left.
Zhu Gongqi tiptoed to Yan Wulu's side, and he said with a smile -
"Your Highness, I have prepared the high-grade aphrodisiac "Love Silk", and I can put him in the old nun Su Xin's tent at any time."
"...This "thread of love" is so powerful. No matter how powerful the nun is, she cannot stop it."
"...When the time comes, Your Majesty, please go in again and cook the rice, hehehehe."
Zhu Gongqi smiled evilly.
Yan Wulu was also shocked when he heard this.
He didn't understand why Zhu Gongqi thought so.
Why don't you leave the little beauty with whom you are in love and go with an old... pretty nun whose real age you don't know?
After laughing and scolding Zhu Gongqi, Yan Wulu was ready to go back to his tent to rest.
Zhu Gongqi grabbed Yan Wulu again.
He said——
"Your Majesty, there are some beautiful things in my tent."
"What's so pretty? Could it be another new beauty?" Yan Wulu agreed upon hearing this.
"Hey, Prince, you will know when you come here!"
…
Inside Zhu Gongqi’s tent.
Candlelight flickers.
Yan Wulu sat in the main seat, and Zhu Gongqi sat in the first place on the left.
"His Royal Highness, I haven't seen you for almost a year. Your Highness is not what he used to be!"
"General Xiaozhu, yes."
Yan Wulu responded, "...I haven't seen you for so long. You have already broken through to the eighth level warrior, right?"
Zhu Gongqi waved his hands and said modestly——
"What do I have to say? Due to my limited talent, I have been a seventh-level warrior for almost ten years."
"...Some time ago, Xiaozhu, I followed the king and fought against the barbarian army in Northern Xinjiang. Elite troops made a surprise attack on the Northern Xinjiang army. They fought fiercely with five generals in Northern Xinjiang and finally made a sudden breakthrough in the dangerous situation."
"It's such a dangerous situation, could General Xiaozhu be injured?"
"It's not dangerous to go deep behind enemy lines."
Zhu Gongqi continued to laugh and said——
"... I am still good. At that time, the king, one man and one horse, continuously challenged more than twenty Huqi generals in Northern Xinjiang. All of those Northern Xinjiang generals were strong men who had experienced hundreds of battles. Since
Young children grow up among wolves and beasts."
"...That's the real danger."
"... Of course, there is a safer way to fight, but if it is not like this, the king will not be able to defeat the barbarian army in northern Xinjiang in a short time and go to Jinling for your sake, the crown prince."
Yan Wulu was filled with emotion when he heard this, "Father, it's not easy either. It turns out that Northern Xinjiang has really gone south before."
"The fact that Northern Xinjiang went south also shows the importance of Wanyan Lie to Northern Xinjiang. It made them not hesitate to send a large number of troops to the south."
While Zhu Gongqi was talking, the people he had asked Yan Wulu to see before also reported to the camp one after another.
They were all the young generals of the Zhenbei Army whom I had met during the day.
Zhu Gongqi stood up.
"Let me introduce you to the Crown Prince."
As he spoke, Zhu Gongqi pointed at the young general who had captured Yi Xiangtian with the guqin behind his back, and said -
"...This is Guo Siyuan, the son of former general Guo Wei, the commanding general of Wuziying under General Guo."
Guo Siyuan cupped his fists towards Yan Wulu, bowed and saluted, "Guo Siyuan meets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"General Guo jumped on his flying horse and captured Yi Xiangtian. He is really young and promising."
Yan Wulu also recalled the opponent's heroic performance during the day.
He sincerely praised the other person and gave him a virtual support, "Please get up quickly."
When Guo Siyuan heard Yan Wulu's praise, he was obviously embarrassed and declined, saying, "It's probably because the generals' arrows are so powerful."
At this time, Yan Wulu still couldn't restrain his curiosity and couldn't help asking -
"Why does General Guo carry a guqin on his back even when he goes to the battlefield? Maybe it's because he loves music so much."
"The prince is laughing."
Guo Siyuan chuckled and explained: "...Siyuan is indeed Aiqin, but the reason why he carries this guqin together on the battlefield is mainly because Siyuan's killing weapon, besides the long sword, is the sound of this guqin.
Got it!"
"...This Qin is Siyuan's real murder weapon."
When Yan Wulu heard this, he didn't know how serious he was.
He thought to himself, "This Guo Siyuan, could it be that... playing the piano is so unpleasant that it kills even the enemy?"
Wait until you look away.
Zhu Gongqi pointed to another young general and said -
"Your Majesty, this one is the son of General Yan Tiange. Yan Xiao is General Yan's lieutenant. General Yan specially sent him to protect the Crown Prince."
Yan Xiao immediately saluted Yan Wulu respectfully.
Yan Wulu responded according to etiquette.
Zhu Gongqi later explained and recommended several young generals to Yan Wulu, all of whom were considered to be the backbone of the Zhenbei Army, almost including the military strength of the five generals.
Even in the future, it may be these young generals who will command the sergeants of each battalion of the Zhenbei Army.
Yan Wulu seemed to understand why his father would let such a group of people come to protect him...
He was led and introduced by General Xiaozhu who was absolutely loyal to him, allowing him to gradually come into contact with the future core commanding generals of the Zhenbei Army.
"...Father, I have begun to gradually train myself to take over the Zhenbei Army."
Yan Wulu thought to himself.
For a while, I just felt that the heavy burden on my shoulders gradually changed from the vagueness in the past to clearly visible.
Then……
Yan Wulu thought in his heart——
"These are the beautiful things Zhu Gongqi said?!"
"...There are no beauties, they are all men! What a disappointment!"
