Princess Wu only stayed at Zhenyuan Pass for one day, and it did not take much time to overwhelm the military attachés in the general palace and appoint veteran Wu Rong to take over the defense of Zhenyuan Pass.
Instead, Ye Chen and Yan Han led their troops to ransack the homes. They spent a lot of time and ransacked more than a dozen military attachés' homes in one day, seizing a large amount of property to reward the soldiers and boost their morale. If it hadn't been for Wu Xiao
The princess is in a hurry, and they may be able to capture Zhenyuan Pass completely.
Stimulated by the large sum of money, the morale of the two thousand soldiers at Zhenyuan Pass was indeed greatly boosted. A large number of civilians were also recruited to carry rolling logs and boulders to assist in the defense of the city. The dull and depressing atmosphere in Zhenyuan Pass was swept away.
After sunset.
Little Princess Wu, Ye Chen and the other four took advantage of the night to leave Zhenyuan Pass in the Kingdom of Wu.
"Out of Zhenyuan Pass is Heishuiyuan! This is the battlefield between Wu and Ning. The terrain is open and has experienced at least hundreds of years of war. It is extremely violent and there are even rumors of war spirits appearing. In addition, there are horse thieves wreaking havoc.
, mountain bandit fortresses, insurgents, and rebels are entrenched, and there is no land for hundreds of miles, and there is no cultivated land."
On the endless black water plain outside Zhenyuan Pass, the four of them saw brightly lit camps and light cavalry roaming around in the wilderness to prevent sneak attacks.
"Look, the Ningguo army's camp!"
"Looking at the number of this camp, I'm afraid there are more than five to six thousand soldiers stationed here. We are preparing to attack Zhenyuan Pass!"
"Princess, let's go! These troops can't attack Zhenyuan Pass for a while. With Old General Wu guarding it, he is steady and mature. The defense of Zhenyuan Pass cannot make a big mistake."
Wei Xuanyu said.
Little Princess Wu nodded and galloped on her horse.
Although the Wu Kingdom and the Ning Kingdom are at war, it is impossible to deploy defenses everywhere on the vast border. It is still easy for four warriors in the middle and late stages of physical training to cross the border under the cover of night on sweat-blooded horses.
The four of them avoided the Ningguo Camp and the cavalry patrolling the area, and entered the Blackwater Plains.
...
Almost at the same time that Princess Wu and others left, Zhenyuan Pass.
More than ten cavalrymen came galloping and arrived at Guanxia.
"who?"
"The personal disciple of National Master Zheng Yuan, Zheng Zhicheng!"
A young and stern voice shouted.
The people in the city hurriedly opened the city gate.
Zheng Zhicheng hurriedly entered Zhenyuan Pass and asked the gatekeeper. He found that Princess Wu had already left Zhenyuan Pass and entered Heishuiyuan. He originally sent a letter to Ma Rushan via flying pigeons, hoping to delay Princess Wu for a day or two, but he did not get up.
have too great an effect.
"Her destination is not Zhenyuan Pass. Why go to Blackwater?"
Zheng Zhicheng's expression changed slightly and he quickly opened a portable map.
"After Blackwater Plains, we will reach Ning State. Wu State and Ning State have been locked in a fierce battle. Her mission to Ning State will not change the overall situation, and she will not enter the fighting area at night. Could it be that she is following the orders of the country's lord to attack other big countries?
Asking for help?...But in this situation, who will send troops to save Wu Kingdom?"
Zheng Zhicheng was shocked and confused.
His fingers followed the map, passing through the Ning Kingdom and extending to other countries. Finally, he arrived at a mysterious place that had no markings on the map.
But Zheng Zhicheng, as a direct disciple of the national master Zheng Yuan, had been to this place before and knew its existence.
When Zheng Zhicheng saw this place, his eyes suddenly stung and he shrank. The thought of a possibility immediately made him feel cold all over.
"No, she's not going to another country, she's going to that place!"
Zheng Zhicheng's eyes were red and he roared in a low voice.
"Master's unfaithfulness to the leader of the Wu Kingdom during this period has cut off the connection between the Wu Kingdom and the Jinding Immortal Sect Wu Clan, allowing the four surrounding countries to besiege the Wu Kingdom. If Princess Wu directly contacts the Wu Clan of the Celestial Sect, the immortal
The door directly interferes. I’m afraid Master’s plan will cause unexpected changes!”
Zheng Zhicheng was very clear about what Zheng Yuan wanted to do. This matter was very complicated. In addition to seizing power in the Wu Kingdom, it was also directly related to the struggle within the Jinding Immortal Sect.
"She must be stopped from going to that place!"
As soon as Zheng Zhicheng collected the map, his face, which had a faint whip mark, looked extremely gloomy.
He did not waste any time and rode out of Zhenyuan Pass alone. After leaving the Wu Kingdom border pass, the danger level increased greatly, and bringing too many people would be a burden. On the contrary, it was not as good as him, a ninth-level warrior in the body refining stage, and it was more convenient to go alone.
...
Black Water Plains.
Four fast horses galloped, and when it was almost dawn, they had already traveled a hundred and fifty miles and penetrated deep into the hinterland of Heishuiyuan.
When the four of them saw that it was getting light, they stopped and found a remote place in the jungle to rest.
In a complex place like Heishuiyuan, it is easy for horse thieves, mountain bandits, and enemy troops to find their whereabouts and follow them while traveling during the day. They travel at night while the sky is dark, and they find remote places to sleep and rest during the day to recover their strength.
Walking in the morning and at night can easily avoid various dangers.
Little Princess Wu had been tired for a day, so she found a dry patch of grass, pitched the simple tent she carried with her horse, and fell asleep.
Wei Xuanyu took the water bag and went to look for water sources in nearby streams, and fed the four sweat horses with water and grass.
Yan Han practiced his sword skills in the jungle, practicing one move after another. The boring moves and practicing day after day seemed to be nothing to him.
"I haven't slept for several days!...Let's finish today's tempering first!"
Ye Chen looked a little tired. He glanced at Yanhan not far away and secretly admired him.
"Yan Han's will is extremely firm. Whenever he has time, he almost always practices the "Tiger Leap Sword Technique" and is rarely interested in other things. Yan Han's proficiency in the first four moves is much higher than mine, and his single attack is extremely powerful.
The powerful Tiger Leap's three consecutive slashes have a success rate of over 90%!"
"When it comes to hard work and perseverance, among the more than 200 upper school students of Beilu Academy, few can compare to Yanhan. Yanhan's strength, which is number one in Beilu Academy, is accumulated bit by bit! This kind of accumulation takes place in a day or two.
It didn't work, but after one or two years, the effect was obvious. Zheng Zhicheng became a state-level warrior at the age of twenty, and Yan Han is now sixteen, so he may be able to do it before he is twenty."
Ye Chen felt a lot of pressure.
Ye Chen leaned against a tree, sat cross-legged, took a piece of ninth-grade blood python grass, swallowed it into his abdomen, and started today's body tempering practice. Soon, a dense heat appeared on his body, and his face was rosy.
, strong Qi and blood.
Inspired by the power of the blood python herbal medicine, the qi and blood in his body were already strong and full, and the qi and blood were continuously transformed into more pure qi and blood essence.
He is now halfway through the seventh level of the body refining stage and is sprinting towards the eighth level of the body refining stage.
One hour...Two hours...
Little Princess Wu was sleeping. In her daze, she suddenly heard the sound of Ling Lie's sword energy piercing the air, and she was suddenly awakened.
She opened the tent and looked outside, only to see Yan Han practicing sword skills in the jungle not far away. A faint sword energy burst out from the sword light. This is the sword energy that can only be released at the seventh level of the body refining stage.
.
"When did Yan Han break through the seventh level of the body refining stage?!"
Little Princess Wu was startled, turned to Wei Xuanyu and asked, "How long have I slept?"
"Princess Lingxiang, you have slept for two hours. It is not noon yet. Eat something and rest later. We will set off on our way after sunset in the evening."
Wei Xuanyu was meditating and practicing. She opened her eyes and said. She seemed to have guessed Princess Wu's doubts, "Senior Brother Yan Han has been practicing to the sixth level of the body refining stage for some time. He has been stagnant at the sixth level for several months. Today he has made a breakthrough to the refining stage."
It’s not surprising that he is at the seventh level of the body refinement stage. Ye Chen’s cultivation is faster than that of Senior Brother Yan Han. He is already at the seventh level of the body refinement stage and is probably not far from the eighth level of the body refinement stage. I really don’t know how he cultivated. Now I am the weakest
, still at the sixth level of the body refining stage.”
Wei Xuanyu smiled faintly. In fact, she was not weak in Beilu Academy, but compared with the two stronger warriors Yan Han and Ye Chen, she was far behind. The sixth level of the body refining stage to the seventh level of the body refining stage were one
The strength is completely different when you step over the hurdle.
"They practice so fast?"
Princess Wu Lingxiang showed surprise and looked at a tree in the distance with complicated eyes. She was practicing body tempering with her eyes closed. Ye Chen was surrounded by hot air. Ye Chen's energy and blood became stronger and stronger day by day. She could almost
Feel it.
She graduated from Beilu Academy two years ago at the sixth level of the body refining stage, and now she is at the seventh level of the body refining stage. She always thought that her cultivation had been very fast, and few people in Wuhan could match it. But these geniuses discovered that Beilu Academy's
Among the students, there were many who were more powerful than her. After only two hours of sleep, Yanhan was already at the seventh level of the body refining stage. Maybe she would wake up in a few days and find that Ye Chen was already at the eighth level of the body refining stage.
.
"I won't rest. I will practice for three or four hours. We will pass through the Blackwater Plains tonight! The place is in chaos and there are horse thieves everywhere. We can't stay long."
Little Princess Wu pursed her lips and said unconvinced.
