Chapter 581 One Person Guarding a City
The hundreds of maids all have their own merits, with slim figures and moist and beautiful skin. The only difference is the size of the chest-to-hip ratio, and whether the facial features are delicate and elegant, which are actually the hallmarks of beauty.
Although any one of them would be popular among the common people, if their status and bloodline were higher, some young masters in the imperial capital would probably marry them openly, but they are maids after all, and their temperament is far from that of a truly stunning beauty, but they are enough to be maids.
Of course.
What Shen Ping values most is their fair skin, which is really pleasing to the eyes. As the saying goes, a white complexion can conceal a hundred imperfections. As long as they have a slim figure and fair skin, they can be considered beauties.
At this time, I heard the words of King Dongchang.
He couldn't help but smile, "The beauties given by His Majesty are naturally top-notch beauties. I heard that the prince's family is full of beauties, and there is also a pair of beautiful twins. I wonder when I can feast my eyes on them."
Prince Dongchang was startled, and looked at Shen Ping. Seeing that he was serious and didn't seem to be being polite, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "If the Marquis of Zhenbei wants to see them, I will bring them to my house another day. Not only can they feast their eyes, but they can also enjoy the beautiful scenery. Isn't it beautiful?!"
Shen Ping immediately bowed and said, "Then I would like to thank you, Your Highness. There is no need to wait for another day. Your Highness can send the message now and send it directly to the army here."
King Dongchang: “…”
I'm just being polite to you, and you're getting excited.
The beautiful twins in the mansion were obtained by him at a great cost. Not only were they charming and attractive, they also possessed special skills, making him reluctant to leave. If he did not have to manage the border troops, he would definitely keep them by his side.
"Why? Your Majesty, don't you want to?"
Shen Ping asked.
Prince Dongchang said with a stiff face, "That's not the case. Marquis Zhenbei doesn't know that the journey from the palace to the Northern Territory is long. If he encounters a big monster on the way and is kidnapped and killed, it will make Marquis Zhenbei happy for nothing, so..."
Shen Ping waved his hand to interrupt, "Prince Dongchang, don't worry."
As he spoke, he turned his eyes and said, "Uncle Chen, I'll have to trouble you to take the two twins from the Dongchang Palace to the Northern Territory."
Deputy General Chen's mouth twitched, but he still clasped his fists and said, "Yes, Lord."
Prince Dongchang was a little annoyed, but he couldn't express it. It was just two women. If he had an unpleasant argument with Marquis Zhenbei over this, not to mention the other party's strength, he would lose face if the news got out.
"Alas, if the prince is reluctant..."
Upon hearing this, the King of Dongchang gritted his teeth and said, "Marquis Zhenbei, you are joking. They are just two women. Since Marquis Zhenbei wants them, I will give them to you."
After saying that, he ordered his men to follow Lieutenant General Chen and go to the mansion first.
Shen Ping smiled brightly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Prince Dongchang didn't want to talk to this young man anymore, so he said perfunctorily, "You are too polite, Marquis Zhenbei. Well, I have important matters to attend to, so I won't delay the young marquis from going to the border army."
"Set off!"
Watching the Dongchangwang convoy slowly leaving.
Shen Ping smiled and said, "This King Dongchang is a good man."
Yue Zhu couldn't help but say, "My Lord, are you really planning to take the twins in the Dongchang Palace? If this gets out, I'm afraid it will damage your reputation."
"In life, fame, wealth and status are all passing clouds."
"Drinking and singing with beautiful women by your side is the way to be free and easy. Yuezhu, come and dance. Ahem, I said it wrong. Meihan Qiuzhu, the four of you, keep dancing!"
"Yes, sir."
Yuezhu was speechless.
Although the young marquis did not work hard in the mansion before, he still practiced sword. But since he left the mansion, he has become more and more frivolous. It is not a good thing to be immersed in beauty.
She secretly made a decision that when her madam came back, she would make sure she let her madam take good care of the matter.
The convoy moved slowly.
It took six full days to reach the border army camp.
And at this time.
Lieutenant General Chen, with the twins from the Prince's Mansion of Dongchang, has caught up with the convoy.
Inside the spacious carriage.
Shen Ping looked at the twins and praised them non-stop, "Not bad, not bad, with beautiful skin and graceful figure, you are really a pair of beautiful jades. No wonder the King of Dongchang kept you in his golden house. From now on, you will be my people."
The two beautiful ladies have long been accustomed to it.
"Yun Yue has met the Marquis."
"Yunxia has met the Marquis."
The two women bowed slightly and saluted crisply.
Shen Ping smiled and said, "You two will be responsible for massaging my shoulders and back."
"Yes, sir."
Arrived at the marching camp.
Yue Zhu frowned and asked, "Why is there no commander to greet the Marquis?"
Deputy General Chen could not help but get angry. "What a disgrace! The four legions were trained by the Marquis himself back then. Now that you, the young Marquis, are in charge of the Northern Territory, how dare they not come to welcome you!"
"I will go there with my personal guards and find out the reason."
Shen Ping sat on a big animal-skin chair, with two women, Yunyue and Yunxia, beside him, massaging his shoulders and legs. He waved his hands casually, "Uncle Chen, you don't have to go over. They are the generals under my father's command, not mine. It's up to them whether they come or not."
Deputy General Chen frowned and said, "But, without the cooperation of the four legions, how can you control the military affairs of the Northern Territory and defend against the attack of the demon country?"
Just at this moment.
A personal guard walked into the camp quickly, "Reporting to the Marquis, the guards in front have reported that the demon country has launched a massive attack with 100,000 demon soldiers and generals, and they are still a hundred miles away from the border!"
Deputy General Chen was shocked. "What? There's still Baili?"
"What are the commanders of the four legions doing? With the speed of the demon soldiers and generals of the demon country, it only takes half an hour to rush over a distance of a hundred miles. How can the marquis deploy the city defense in such a short time when he has just arrived?!"
Yue Zhu was also very anxious. "The most important thing now is to immediately mobilize the four legions for defense. But, but King Dongchang has just left, and the defense of the main city is the loosest. If the demon country attacks at this time, it will definitely take the opportunity to seize the border. Once the border is lost, then His Majesty will punish you."
Shen Ping looked at Mei Hanqiuzhu who had stopped dancing in the camp and said, "Why don't you dance anymore? Keep going."
Deputy General Chen said, "My Lord, it's already this late, you should check the border defense affairs first, I will take people there right away."
Shen Ping glanced at Deputy General Chen, "Uncle Chen, you are calm even when facing a mountain collapse. It's just a hundred thousand demon army. It is said that the northern border is often attacked by demon army, and each time there are no less than a hundred thousand. The four major armies are not anxious, so why should we be anxious? Can the commanders of the four major armies watch the border fall?"
"So stay calm."
"Yuezhu, go and arrange accommodation for our team members, as well as their food and drinks, etc. You have to make all the arrangements properly."
Yue Zhu saw that Shen Ping was calm and composed, and the panic in her heart disappeared. She nodded and said, "Okay, Lord Marquis, I will arrange it right away."
The entire northern border is mainly guarded by 500,000 border troops and civilians dispatched from various places, together forming a city. There are all kinds of supplies in this city, but it is still not as prosperous as the imperial capital and other places.
However, during the more than ten years that Prince Dongchang was in charge, he did build a small-scale palace in the city. Although it was not as good as a marquis's mansion, it was much more luxurious than the military camp and other mansions in the city.
So Shen Ping naturally moved in.
"Prince Dongchang really knows how to enjoy life. He has built rockeries, ponds, flowers, plants and trees in this bitter cold borderland. It must have taken a lot of effort."
Come to the pond.
He swung a few clubs out of itchiness, then laid back comfortably on the recliner, with the twins serving him.
“This fruit is not fresh anymore.”
“Is there any fresh fruit in the city?”
Yun Yue said coquettishly, "My Lord, the fruits here are all dispatched from the capital city in the Northern Territory. It takes five days to get here and back. The fruits are all kept fresh with ice, so they are not as good as freshly picked fruits. I'm afraid there is no fresh fruit in the city."
Just as Shen Ping was about to speak, his true soul power sensed the boundless demonic energy in the distance, and even the ground began to shake.
…
The commanders of the four legions gathered in the tent of the East Camp at this moment.
And they knew Shen Ping's every move.
"This young marquis is really extravagant. It's ok that the journey was slow, but he even brought a hundred maids with him. What does he think the border is? A marquis's mansion?"
"That's right. Even though he is very powerful and a genius in cultivation, he can't treat military affairs as a joke!"
"I don't know what the emperor was thinking. He actually let a young boy take over. He is even worse than the King of Dongchang!"
"Alright, stop talking. The young marquis is the legitimate son of the old marquis after all. If it weren't for the marquis, would we have been able to become the main generals? Now that the demon army is attacking, the most urgent task is to defend the border first. We can't let the demon army break through the border."
The commander of the West Camp said disdainfully, "It's just a hundred thousand troops. It's just to scare the young marquis. With our four legions in charge, the city defense may seem lax, but in fact it's tight inside. What can go wrong? I think we should think about how to deal with the young marquis."
"Yes, if he does something wrong, what should we do? Should we listen to him or not? This is a very important military matter!"
When the commanders of the four legions were discussing.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Soldiers outside hurried over, "Report, among the 100,000 troops of the Demon Nation, there are ten Demon Kings who have reached the seventh level!"
Hearing this.
The commanders of the four battalions stood up in unison, their faces instantly becoming solemn.
"Ten demon kings of the seventh realm!"
"Are you trying to break through the border? The Demon Country has never had such a battle before!"
"It seems that they are coming for the young marquis."
"Alright, quickly mobilize the army. We must not let the demon country break through the border!"
…
Inside the small prince's palace.
The appearance of ten demon kings who were comparable to the immortals on earth in the army really brought great pressure. Even the air seemed to be stagnant. The twins who were pinching shoulders and hammering legs behind them both looked worried.
Yue Zhu hurried over and said, "My Lord, the demon country is coming for you. You should report it as soon as possible and ask the imperial capital to send powerful immortals to suppress it. You should leave the border first. Lieutenant General Chen and I will take care of this."
The immortals on land can run very fast. Once they reach the strong wind layer, they can run a hundred miles in one breath.
Shen Ping smiled and said, "The Demon Country has finally come to their senses and sent ten of them. Since we have nothing else to do, let's go join in the fun. Let's go to the city wall."
While talking.
He stood up and walked towards the border wall.
Looks like walking.
But each step covered a long distance, as if shrinking the distance into an inch.
Seeing this, Yuezhu had no choice but to follow.
The twins Yunyue and Yunxia bit their lips and had to follow.
moment.
The main building of the city wall.
Lieutenant General Chen is already standing here.
Seeing Shen Ping appear, he was interrupted by Shen Ping before he could speak, "What are the commanders of the four legions doing?"
Deputy General Chen said hurriedly, "They are already mobilizing the army. Although the demon king of the seventh realm is strong, the four legions are well-trained and can resist with the help of the military formation. Moreover, each of the four main generals is a land immortal and is extremely powerful."
Shen Ping nodded slowly, walked to the edge of the city wall, looked at the dense and condensed evil spirit of demonic energy in the distance, and the 100,000-strong army of the demon country that was like a black tide, and couldn't help but say, "The momentum is indeed terrifying. If ordinary soldiers saw it, I'm afraid they wouldn't have the strength to resist in their hearts."
Deputy General Chen said solemnly, "The demon soldiers of the demon country are very strong. The garrison troops of the capital city are no match for them. Only the experienced border troops can resist. As long as they overcome their fear, the border troops will be able to cope with them."
Not long.
Yuezhu and the two twins came to the city wall.
The demon country's army also arrived at the city.
Shen Ping, who was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe, looked at the dark masses of demon soldiers and generals and said calmly, "Human power is limited, but this is extraordinary. No matter how many troops there are, they are just adding numbers..."
A faint voice sounded.
Suddenly, translucent swords made of pure energy condensed in front of him. Each sword looked like a sword light, crystal clear and sparkling in the sunlight.
Deputy General Chen, Yuezhu, and the two beautiful twins subconsciously raised their eyes and saw a scene that they would never forget.
I saw sword lights gathering one after another, from one hundred to two hundred, and then to five hundred... In the blink of an eye, the sky above the main building of the city wall was filled with dense sword lights.
go.
A sound like gentle breeze and drizzle spread out.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
The sword flashed like rain.
The sword shines like the sea.
The sword lights are like the tide.
They swept towards the demon country's army in an overwhelming manner.
Each sword light carries a pure sword intent, which is the condensation of sword art, and is also Shen Ping's mastery of many skills such as talismans and formations.
Puff, puff, puff! Almost instantly.
A shrill growl was heard from the demon nation’s army.
Many demon soldiers and mounts were unable to even resist in the wave-like rain of sword light and were all slaughtered.
Yes, it was a completely one-sided massacre.
Those demon generals still wanted to resist, but their struggles were in vain.
Only the powerful demons of the sixth and seventh realms could barely resist.
Wait until the sword light disappears.
Of the 100,000-strong army of the Demon Kingdom, only the seventh realm and some of the sixth realm demon kings and generals were left. The bloody aura spread, seemingly filled with a tragic flavor.
And on the border city wall.
Deathly silence.
The world seemed to have become completely silent.
The ten demon kings and demon generals in the realm of immortals on earth looked at the scene where the ground was covered with blood and they looked up in fear at the young man in brocade clothes standing on the wall of the main building.
Such means.
It is difficult to defeat ghosts and gods.
Come back to your senses.
They turned around and ran away without a second thought.
The scene just now really shocked their demon hearts. It would be impossible to destroy an army of 100,000 demons in one blow, even if an immortal came.
