Chapter 373 From now on, there is no more Prince of Yan in the world (Part 1)
Xia Zhixu's master's sect is called the Chentuo Sect, a sect located in the northern desert. It is not considered a large sect, and the total number of people in the sect is only a dozen or so.
But this small sect has a great reputation. Even in the Daxia martial arts world, the name of the Chantuo Sect is extremely famous.
In this martial arts world where strength is respected, the reputation of the Chentuo Sect was earned by its leader, Master Wuxiang, with his punches on the Mobei grasslands and in the Daxia martial arts world!
But one day.
Weird things happened in the Chentuo Sect. Originally there were only a dozen people in the Chentuo Sect, but suddenly many people left. There were rumors that a monster with extremely high talent appeared in the Chentuo Sect and killed people from the same sect.
However, Master Wuxiang did not punish him at all, which hurt the feelings of some of his fellow disciples, so they all left.
Afterwards, this skilled martial artist, who was rated as the 'third best in Mobei' by Shuya Tower, suddenly led the remaining disciples of the Chentuo Sect and joined the Mobei court. He was even worshipped as the national teacher by the former king of Mobei.
And now.
It was right where the Mobei Royal Court was located, in the middle of the entire royal court and also the highest point, inside a palace with a huge wolf flag rustling.
The old man Wuxiang stood barefoot next to a woman who was no more than 40 years old.
The woman had one hand inside her sleeves and with the other hand she was kneading a piece of emerald green jade.
Standing on the corridor beneath the palace garden pavilion that was built in the imitation of the Daxia people, the woman looked at the pond that was built in the imitation of the Daxia people, or rather, at the carp under the pond covered with thin ice, with a cold gaze.
The entire temple, including here.
All are created by the woman's husband.
The woman’s husband, the King of Mobei of the previous generation, had traveled all over Daxia and learned a lot from the Daxia people. The reason was simple: the previous king was determined to conquer the Central Plains, so he thought that he had to learn everything he should learn from the Daxia people, otherwise how could he defeat them!
To be precise, it means to modify and use, not to copy.
Therefore, the former kings retained all the customs of the Mobei people, learned some useful things from the Daxia people and changed them into their own Mobei people's things.
At that time, the people of Mobei were unprecedentedly powerful!
It was so powerful that it almost flattened Daxia!
but.
The woman's husband almost succeeded.
But
It was almost there after all!
In that decisive battle face to face with the former emperor of Daxia, the woman's husband lost to the then young emperor of Daxia, and Mobei was defeated!
Total defeat!
Therefore, they had to withdraw their troops and recuperate.
After that battle, the former king also fell ill.
Looking at the carp under the thin ice, the woman thought of the time when she and the previous king fed the fish here.
But he did not recall those things. Instead, he retracted his gaze and turned to look at the old man beside him, jokingly saying, "Your disciples, especially Xiao Podi, hate your little disciple to the core. How did you not let them kill him? This sect that you built has no rules restricting in-sect fighting, right?"
The old man, who ranked third in terms of military strength in the entire Mobei, heard this and smiled and said, "Maybe, he feels that the time has not come yet."
The woman smiled and said nothing. Instead, she walked to the edge of the pool, put away the jade in her hand, took out the skirt-pressing knife that had been hidden under her skirt, and gently touched the thin ice with the handle of the knife to break the ice surface.
As soon as the ice was broken, the carp jumped.
The splashing water splashed on the woman.
The woman didn't think anything of it, she just raised her hand and wiped it gently, but the hand she raised was not the one holding the skirt-pressing knife, but another one, but it was a fake hand, because when the king died a few months ago, the woman had cut off her wrist and palm together to be buried with him.
In exchange for
It is the control of the entire Mobei!
And this woman was the Queen Mother of Mobei, Shulü Ping.
The Mobei Queen Mother stood up and looked at the old man Wuxiang: "As for the Huihe people, the news from the Central Plains is that the Huihe people will no longer exist in this world in June at the earliest and August at the latest."
Master Wuxiang did not say anything, but just clasped his hands together, made a Buddhist gesture, and moved his lips slightly.
The demons who have killed countless people will, in the end, comfort themselves with this Buddhist gesture that forbids killing.
Queen Mother Mobei stood up and stopped looking at the fish in the pond. Instead, she looked at Master Wuxiang: "I never interfere in military matters. Those people have their own ways to defeat the enemy. But there is one thing I care about. Between Zhong Shuoxing and Xia Zhixu, who do you think is more powerful?"
Master Wuxiang asked, "Queen Mother, are you really planning to let my little disciple marry the princess?"
Queen Mother Mobei narrowed her eyes and looked at Master Wuxiang. She suddenly smiled, knowing that he had seen through her probing attempt, and said lightly, "He doesn't deserve it."
Master Wuxiang clasped his hands together and said, "Then he might as well go with Zhongshuo."
Queen Mother Mobei understood the meaning of Master Wuxiang's words: "Are you willing to give it up?"
Master Wuxiang said, "Yan Yunxiao, who was beside the Emperor of Daxia, once said, 'If you draw your sword to kill someone, you must also be prepared to be killed.' Similarly, a person who kills must always be prepared to be killed by others, a person who betrays must also be prepared to be betrayed by others, and a person who schemes against others will often be schemed against by others. These principles are actually the same. My little disciple has experienced all of these things."
Empress Dowager Shulü Ping of Mobei laughed, but suddenly heard a noise. She turned her head to look at the gate of the courtyard and saw a young woman running in.
The girl was about eighteen or nineteen years old, and very pretty, especially her legs, which looked much longer than those of an ordinary girl, and much more beautiful!
There are bells on the ankles that jingle when walking.
Seeing the woman coming over, Shulü Ping smiled and said, "I originally thought you liked him very much. After killing him, I was still thinking about how to explain it to you. Now that you say this, I am overthinking it."
Master Wuxiang said, "I have many disciples, but if I were to say which one I like best, I don't have any."
Shulü Ping said, "What the little emperor of Daxia did seemed like a good opponent, but if Xia Zhixu really escaped safely from Daxia to Mobei, then I would have overestimated her. However, it's not a big deal, after all, many things are unpredictable, but she helped me kill my annoying brother, and I helped her kill her brother, so we're even. Next time, I'll take her head."
Master Wuxiang clasped his hands together again without saying another word.
At this time, the woman came over, smiled at Master Wuxiang, and then looked at Shulü Ping: "Mother."
Shulü Ping smiled and rubbed her daughter's head, then looked at Master Wuxiang: "My daughter, Shulü Ping, will be the master of the world in the future. Xia Zhixu? Is he worthy? A beast who can easily sell out his own people and kill his own father and brother, let him set foot in my Mobei Royal Court, it is a blasphemy to my Mobei Royal Court."
At this point, Shulü Ping looked at her daughter, reached out and gently stroked her daughter's face and said softly: "My daughter, if you want to marry, you must marry the most beautiful man in the world, the most talented man in the world, and the bravest man in the world. This is what the late king said himself."
At this moment, the koi in the pond suddenly jumped out of the water.
With a plop.
It was as if he agreed with what Shulü Ping said.
Master Wuxiang looked at Shulü Ping and said, "Among all my disciples, the one who wants to kill Xia Zhixu the most."
…
On the road from Danzhou to Liuzikou and Wuhe Mountain, the earth shook and thousands of cavalrymen rushed past.
Each of these cavalrymen rides two horses at a time. The horses are the best war horses from the largest ranch in Danzhou. They are unmatched in charging into battle!
Many of them were war horses that Du Yu secretly bought from horse dealers in Mobei during this year in preparation for possible wars in the future.
With so many cavalrymen charging past, there was truly a gap in the sky; from a distance, it looked like the Qiantang River tide, surging and mighty!
It’s just that the leader looks a little inferior, not like a military general, but more like a scholar.
but.
It was this scholar who was at the forefront.
The scholar Du Yu, who did not have a very good appearance, had eyes as sharp as torches. He set out four days ago and was now very close to his destination!
…
On the desert grassland.
The old general, who was nearly seventy years old, personally led the army with 20,000 light cavalry. All of the light cavalry traveled lightly and were full of murderous intent.
Especially the old general at the front, he was extremely angry.
In addition to this army, there was another group of soldiers led by You Lian, who headed straight for Yanzhou.
At the same time, notices detailing the crimes of Xia Chenfeng and Xia Zhixu were distributed to various places in Yan.
Those who obey will prosper, and those who resist will perish. Anyone who dares to follow and obey Xia Zhixu's orders is a traitor!
Four days is not enough for everyone in Yan to see it, but many places have already known about it.
Extremely shocked!
Even!
Extremely angry!
…
Four days ago, Xia Zhixu left Prince Yan's Mansion with Xiao Podi.
However, he had people pack up a lot of things from Prince Yan's Mansion and let those people take several other routes, and they were the main roads.
Xia Zhixu naturally didn't think that this trick could fool anyone. After all, if he chased after them and didn't see him, the secret would be exposed.
But this move can delay time.
So it is not a useless move.
There was not only Xiao Podi around Xia Zhixu, there were five other people. Xia Zhixu only knew three of them, all of whom were his former senior brothers.
As for the other two, Xia Zhixu didn't know them and was too lazy to get to know them.
According to the plan, these people will take Xia Zhixu to Wangkou Pass to meet with Zhang Jue, the general of Yongshan Camp. Then Xia Zhixu will be truly safe. After that, it will depend on Xia Zhixu himself whether to leave Yan and go to Mobei or stay here to fight.
The Yongshan Camp was the army that Xia Chenfeng built when he became the King of Yan. It could be said to be Xia Chenfeng’s private army!
Moreover, a year ago, Xia Chenfeng took advantage of the invasion of the Mobei barbarians to further expand the Yongshan camp's troops from the original 50,000 to 70,000.
It can be said that it is a real army that can save Xia Zhixu's life.
Moreover, Xia Zhixu had already exchanged letters with Zhang Jue, the deputy general of Yongshan Camp and Xia Chenfeng's deputy, instructing the other party on what to do and how to do these things.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been those things at Wangkou Pass, Liuzikou Pass, and Wuheshan Pass.
Xia Zhixu and his team took the mountain road, which was suggested by Xiao Podi.
The main purpose was to guard against those who came to capture him. Moreover, traveling north on this mountain road, which was rarely used for hunting and logging, was much faster than taking the main road.
Xia Zhixu was actually not happy about it.
But he also knew that taking the mountain road would be the fastest way to reach the Yongshan camp, so after thinking it over he agreed.
But the route must be according to his.
Xiao Podi and others didn't say anything and let Xia Zhixu do whatever he wanted.
Xiao Podi glanced at Xia Zhixu, thought for a moment and asked, "What if Zhang Jue didn't come to pick you up and betrayed you?"
Xia Zhixu chuckled when he heard this, then thought about it seriously, and then spread his hands: "Just leave it alone, what else can I do."
But after saying that, Xia Zhixu frowned, thought seriously for a while and said, "I don't think he will betray me."
Xiao Podi asked back: "What do you think?"
Xia Zhixu nodded: "How can a person explain it clearly? Just like you, Senior Brother, you have always wanted to kill me, but you haven't done it yet, right?"
Xiao Podi didn't say anything, but several of Xia Zhixu's fellow disciples around him turned around and looked at Xia Zhixu.
Xia Zhixu smiled and said, "Zhang Jue was brought up by my father. Although he doesn't have much ability, he has one good thing, loyalty! That's why my father dared to hand over the private soldiers of the Yongshan Camp of the Prince of Yan's Mansion to him."
"Moreover, he knows everything my father has done, but he still carries it out to the letter. This is another of his strengths, he is obedient! So this time when we go to Mobei, he will definitely come with us. I don't know about the other soldiers, but more than half of the soldiers from Yongshan Camp will definitely follow."
Xiao Po Di didn't say anything, just kept moving forward.
Xia Zhixu was a chatterbox. Once he started talking, it was hard to stop. Especially when walking in the mountains, it was really boring. So he looked at Xiao Podi and asked, "Brother, is the grave of our junior sister in the Mobei Royal Court or somewhere else? I'll go there this time to pay my respects."
Hearing this.
Xiao Podi's expression remained unchanged, but the others clenched their fists but restrained their murderous intent.
Although the Chentuo sect does not care about the fighting among fellow disciples.
But it's strange.
In a sect that allows fellow disciples to fight each other, no one has ever actually attacked a fellow disciple.
On the other hand, within those sects with special regulations, open and covert fighting is constant, and murder and being killed are common occurrences.
It seems a bit ridiculous.
But the only time that fellow disciples fought against each other in the Chantuo Sect was when Xia Zhixu killed the junior sister!
Xia Zhixu didn't care about these things and just blinked at Xiao Podi.
Xiao Podi said, "In the Mobei Royal Court."
Xia Zhixu nodded: "Then I will go and pay my respects properly."
But after saying that, Xia Zhixu chuckled, glanced at the people around him, and asked, "Brother, can I make it to the Mobei Royal Court alive?"
Xiao Podi continued, "We promised to protect you to General Zhang in Yongshan Camp, and we will not break our promise."
Xia Zhixu chuckled, but glanced briefly at the two unfamiliar people.
Both of them were masters from Mobei, and Xia Zhixu could tell at a glance. After all, he was at least a fourth-grade master, so he could see clearly.
But Xia Zhixu glanced at Xiao Podi and asked, "Brother, is my unmarried wife pretty?"
Xiao Podi knew that Xia Zhixu was talking about the Princess of Mobei, and immediately said, "Yes."
Xia Zhixu immediately asked: "What does um mean?"
After saying that, Xia Zhixu sighed: "Hey, I haven't met my wife yet, what do you think of this matter?"
Xiao Podi didn't want to say anything more, so he quickened his pace and distanced himself from Xia Zhixu.
Xia Zhixu didn't chase after them, but deliberately kept a distance from his fellow disciples and the two Mobei masters.
The wilderness and mountain paths are the best places to kill people.
Xia Zhixu didn't want to die like this.
These may seem like protection, but they actually look dangerous.
Thinking of this, Xia Zhixu looked at the forest as far as he could see, wondering why Zhang Jue hadn't come yet.
Xia Zhixu has the weakest strength, but he also has the strength of a fourth-grade level.
Therefore, the group did not need to rest too much when walking on the mountain road, and they had only been walking for a few days, so it was not enough to say that they were exhausted.
finally
Just when Xia Zhixu and others climbed over a hill and reached a high place, they saw Zhang Jue and others from Yongshan Camp who came to meet them.
Zhang Jue is a very strong man. At first glance, he looks like a farmer and gives people the impression that he is an honest person.
Without the general's armor, he looks just like an ordinary soldier. Even if his weapon is replaced with a hammer, no one would think that he is a soldier who has been on the battlefield and killed people!
When he saw Xia Zhixu, the honest man immediately dismounted, came to Xia Zhixu and clasped his fists: "Your Highness!"
Upon seeing this, Xia Zhixu immediately stepped forward and was about to bow.
But this hand was just raised.
Swish! !
Zhang Jue, who was originally bowing to Xia Zhixu, suddenly drew the knife from his waist and slashed at Xia Zhixu who was about to bow.
Zhang Jue is a fifth-grade warrior, and he grew up fighting on the battlefield!
So this knife strike was made without any hesitation!
but.
After all, Xia Zhixu was only a fourth-grade cultivator. He sensed something was wrong in just a moment. When he raised his eyes, he felt the cold light of the blade.
He immediately stepped back and tried to dodge.
Can!
A fourth-grade person against a fifth-grade person, and the fifth-grade person was trained among a pile of dead bodies, so could he dodge easily?
Wow! !
I saw blood splattering everywhere.
then!
Then I saw Xia Zhixu's two fingers were cut off and fell on the unmelted snow in the mountains.
"ah!!!"
Xia Zhixu screamed immediately, covered the place where two fingers were cut off with one hand, and suddenly looked up at Zhang Jue.
The shock in his eyes was no less than the shock Meng Shaoan had when he learned the truth.
Zhang Jue picked up the knife, wiped the blood off the blade with the gap between his arm armor, and looked at Xia Zhixu: "I, the last general, want to avenge the prince, so please go ahead, Prince!"
Hearing this, Xia Zhixu was stunned.
Xiao Podi and others who were standing aside obviously did not expect Zhang Jue to take action.
but
He glanced at the people with bows and arrows drawn behind Zhang Jue, and then at Xia Zhixu.
Several people stepped aside and looked straight at Xia Zhixu.
even
Xiao Podi took out the few remaining melon seeds from the small bag on his waist and started eating them while looking at Xia Zhixu.
