Outside Piaoxue City, Pingbei's army gathered around.
The flags of the army were fluttering, and from time to time I was reminded of the simple and thick sound of the trumpet, which resounded throughout the heaven and earth.
In Piaoxue City, both the big families and the common people heard it clearly.
A restaurant in Piaoxue City used to be crowded with people. Nowadays, there are not many people in the restaurant for entertainment, and it looks a bit desolate.
Outside the restaurant, there were Piaoxue Sect disciples who happened to be patrolling by.
Piaoxue City is a city of martial arts, and everything in the city is under the command of Piaoxue Sect.
Now that the Pingbei Army is invading, those who come up to the city wall to protect us are naturally many disciples of the Piaoxue Sect.
This wave of patrolling Piaoxue Sect disciples was led by a dark and skinny young man.
The boy is not very young, but he has become the leader of the team, so he obviously has something special about him.
"You're still patrolling. Piaoxue City is about to be destroyed, so why are you still patrolling?"
Someone on the second floor of the restaurant saw the thin, dark boy walking at the front with his head held high and his chest held high, and they couldn't help but show disdain.
For these Jianghu people, whether Piaoxue City is destroyed or not, they will still live in the Jianghu.
Today Piaoxue City belongs to Piaoxue Sect, and tomorrow's surname is Cao, which has nothing to do with them.
Several Jianghu people were talking in low voices. Unexpectedly, the Piaoxue Sect disciple who was leading the patrol was so sharp that he heard the low voices of several people at once. He immediately raised his head after hearing the words.
He looked at a few Jianghu people.
These gangsters were talking nonsense, but when they saw that the other party noticed them, they lowered their heads in panic.
"Senior Brother Ge."
The other disciples on patrol also looked up when they saw the dark and skinny boy showing a strange expression.
That black and skinny boy is Ge Qi, a local young man from Piaoxue City. Geqi has outstanding talent in martial arts. He broke through to the realm of strength not long after joining Piaoxue Sect. Now he is the key training target of Piaoxue Sect and has become one of the many disciples.
of the best.
The Piaoxue Sect was in a critical situation, and disciples like Goqi, who had only just started training, were sent directly to the battlefield.
Goch was young and energetic, and he couldn't bear to have others talk about the holy place in his heart. He immediately felt a little angry in his heart.
"Brother Ge, don't be impulsive."
Several other teenagers stopped Gochi.
Gotch is good at everything and has great talents, but he has a bad temper.
The few people in the restaurant realized that they had made a mistake and quickly closed the windows.
Although Piaoxue City is in turmoil now, Piaoxue Sect is still a super sect in charge. Squeezing them to death is like squeezing a few ants to death. It is not difficult.
"Forget it, let's go."
Several teenagers persuaded Gotch to go away.
Piaoxue City looked a little desolate, and a few teenagers dragged Gotchi to the place where they were stationed.
Several people felt very heavy, and one of the teenagers brought firewood and started a fire on the spot.
After having a fire, I felt a little warmth.
One of the young men said worriedly: "Brother Ge, do you think the Pingbei Army outside will attack the city?"
These half-grown teenagers are very young. The young talents like Gochi who came last year are already considered as seniors. Most of the other half-grown boys are "newly hired" this year. It is also a rule of the sect to call Gochi "senior brother".
.
When the dark and thin Gotchi heard this, he couldn't help but glare at him.
But before he could speak, a young man walking beside him couldn't help scolding him: "What are you still imagining? Do you think these Pingbei troops came all the way to be guests in our Piaoxue City?"
"That's right, the Pingbei Army will not reason with us. Give up your illusions and prepare to fight."
Among the other teenagers, some were sensible, some were worried, and some were not afraid at all.
Young people always have a little more enthusiasm. Although the Pingbei Army is coming fiercely, they don't have enough respect for life. When their blood surges, they forget everything.
Seeing the commotion among the people, Ge Qi shouted in a low voice: "The Pingbei Army is trying to humiliate our Piaoxue Sect. This is just a dream."
He gritted his teeth, his face full of hatred and resentment towards the Pingbei Army.
In fact, the Pingbei Army didn't do anything to him.
But Piaoxue Sect has always been the holy land in his heart. Ever since he was a child, he has been eager to enter Piaoxue Sect to practice.
Now there is an army coming to desecrate the holy place in his heart. How can he bear this?
Of course, there are also scared teenagers.
A young man said in a trembling voice: "But I heard from my family that even the sect leader, Senior Brother Long Yue and others died in Youzhou Mansion. The Pingbei Army is very strong. We in Piaoxue City may...
....”
"Afraid of what?"
"If you are afraid, don't join the Piaoxue Sect!" Gochi immediately interrupted him with a frown.
How could the young man bear this kind of stimulation? He would rather die in battle than be "looked down upon" by others. He immediately retorted: "Who said I was scared? Did I say I was scared?"
"Since you are not afraid, don't talk nonsense." Goqi said coldly: "The elders in the sect have said that these nonsense rumors spread by the outside world are because the sect master and senior brother were unable to do so because they entered a certain secret realm.
Show up, now these Pingbei troops have seized on this and took the opportunity to sneak attack on Piaoxue City."
A few teenagers with little judgment were instantly convinced by Gotch's remarks.
After all, in their eyes, the Piaoxue Sect is a real behemoth, a heaven-like existence in their world, especially the sect leader Yun Zhengxin, who is like a god, how can he just say no to it?
So it must be a rumor, and the elders will not lie.
"Since no one is afraid, how about we think of a way to burn the Pingbei Army's food and grass?"
Suddenly, a young man suggested in a low voice.
Gotch looked at the young man.
Everyone showed doubts, excitement and confusion.
The young man explained: "My family is in the rice and grain business. Today I heard from my father that there was a grain team coming from the east. Looking at the route, it should be the grain team of the Pingbei Army."
"There are many people in the Pingbei Army, so they consume a lot of food and grass every day."
"There is no small town within a hundred miles of Piaoxue City where the Pingbei Army can station and supply supplies, so the route of the food team will be much longer."
The young man also listened to the analysis of his family members and remembered the words clearly.
The more he spoke, the other teenagers showed expressions of admiration, which greatly satisfied his vanity, so he did not hide anything and revealed all the matter.
Goch's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea."
"We patrol the city every day, but nothing happens. Now the people in the city are still laughing at us. Why don't we just go out of the city and burn the Pingbei Army's food and grass? As long as we burn their food and grass
, the Pingbei Army retreated on its own!"
The young people were all very courageous, and someone else echoed: "Yes, I still have many high-quality war horses at home. We secretly rode the war horses out of the city. By then, there were only a dozen of us, coming and going like the wind, and the Pingbei Army could not even
There’s nothing we can do about it.”
"Yes, I can find ordnance!"
"I can also bring some brothers together!"
"The people in the Pingbei Army look down on us, so we need to show them some color!"
Everyone was talking about it, and the atmosphere became heated in the whole family.
In such an atmosphere, no one dares to say "no", and if anyone dares to say "no", it proves that they are cowards, not loyal enough, and afraid... Therefore, all the young people have no choice but to
He agreed, led by a few particularly enthusiastic young people.
As the leader, Goqi was also very excited. He immediately slapped the table and said, "Okay, at midnight tonight, we will assemble directly at the south city gate. Then we will rush out of the city and burn the Pingbei Army's food team!"
----------------------------------
Pingbei camp.
The banner with the word Cao was hoisted high, and tens of thousands of Pingbei troops were encamped for several miles.
Cao Su came with his troops this time. In addition to the cavalry that fought with him in the north and south, he also brought a lot of infantry and archers with a complete range of troops, and they gathered in front of Piaoxue City.
It's night, in the middle of the camp.
Cao Su practiced in the tent with his eyes closed.
After the battle with Yun Zhengxin, he improved even faster.
The inner energy that was already very deep became even more majestic and thick.
While practicing, the terrifying aura of Cao Su could be felt inside and outside the entire camp, and ordinary people could not get close to him.
I don’t know how long Cao Su has been practicing.
Suddenly a person came outside the camp.
The man's body was covered with a black robe, and his appearance seemed unclear.
The soldiers who had been waiting quietly outside suddenly became energetic and immediately put down their weapons and blocked the camp.
"Who is coming?"
The two soldiers' voices were loud and seemed to have alerted Cao Su, who was practicing in the camp.
Then Cao Su's faint voice floated out from the tent.
"Let him in."
The two soldiers then quickly stepped back and allowed the man in black robe to quietly walk into the camp.
In the tent, Cao Su just opened his eyes. In the depths of his eyes, a touch of purple and a touch of red were swirling. Those who saw it became more and more frightened, and the two rays of light seemed to be merging.
"Cao Pingbei, long time no see."
When Cao Su saw the visitor, he smiled slightly.
He stretched out his hand in a gesture of invitation.
"The military camp is shabby and the hospitality is poor. I apologize."
The person who suddenly appeared took off the black robe on his head, revealing a pale face.
Compared to a pure warrior like Cao Su, who was full of vitality and blood, the man who came here was very thin, with a pale face and no beard. At first glance, he looked like someone who had lived in a deep palace for a long time.
"Master Xun, it's been a long time."
When Cao Su saw his friend in Shendu, he greeted him naturally.
Xun Zhi also had a smile on his face. What he liked about Cao Su very much was that Cao Su never seemed to look at him strangely.
Cao Su is different from those people. He really treats them as normal people. There is no difference.
Such a level gaze made Xun Zhi feel very comfortable and played a key role in the communication between the two.
After Xunzhi took off his hood, he sat at the desk prepared by Cao Su. There were only some simple drinks and dishes on the desk that were still warm, but these were not important anymore. Xunzhi came all the way to find Cao Su, which was not the case.
Drinking wine and eating meat with Cao Su.
"Cao Pingbei is very beautiful, and the yellow sand outside the Great Wall cannot dissipate the charm of the past."
Xunzhi smiled and complimented him. He had been in the palace for a long time, and simple flattery was beyond the reach of ordinary warriors. Cao Su felt somewhat comfortable after saying these two sentences, especially since Xunzhi was an eunuch.
Shang's cautious tone naturally gave him a great sense of accomplishment, as if he was enjoying royal treatment.
"Although the scenery outside the Great Wall is good, it is not as beautiful as the scenery in Shendu. I have been thinking so hard in Youzhou for so long, isn't it just to return to Shendu as soon as possible?"
Cao Su laughed and started talking nonsense.
However, this argument is very convincing.
The core of this world is in the divine capital, and the center of the empire is also in the divine capital.
No matter how good Youzhou is, it is still not one ten thousandth as good as the Divine Capital. This is the consensus of everyone.
When Xun Zhi heard what Cao Su said, he sighed slightly and said, "It's a shame for Cao Pingbei, but Cao Pingbei should also know that the current divine capital is no longer the original divine capital."
"Oh? Master Xun, what do you mean by this?"
Cao Su frowned. In fact, he also knew some of the situation in the divine capital, but the news he knew was all superficial news, which was different from the news that people like Xun Zhi who lived deep in the palace got.
Therefore, the news brought by Xun Zhi made Cao Su very concerned.
Xun Zhi said lightly: "Maybe it would be an excellent choice for Cao Ping to come to Youzhou from the north."
"Today's God's Capital! It's really a storm, like a whirlpool, and it could lead to catastrophe at any time."
"Does Cao Pingbei know why the Queen Mother specially sent me to find the general this time?"
This time, Xunzhi was ordered by the Queen Mother of Yan to go north to Youzhou to look for Cao Su.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Cao Su got the news a few days ago, and then slowed down his march. He thought that Xunzhi would be waiting for him in Youzhou Mansion two days after his troops returned to Youzhou Mansion.
Only then can people meet.
Unexpectedly, the news from Xunzhi was that he would go north without stopping to meet Cao Su in the military camp.
Moreover, the meeting is in secret and cannot be extended.
Such an unusual move immediately made Cao Su feel even more unusual.
Now that Xun Zhi still wanted to show off in front of him, Cao Su felt a little unhappy. It was now time, so he could just get down to business. There was no need to deal with all these bells and whistles.
However, Xunzhi was someone Cao Su invested in, and Cao Su didn't like or dislike him, so he laughed out loud: "Cao is stupid!"
"I hope Master Xun will make it clear!"
Cao Su made it clear that he would not answer the riddle. After a pause, Xunzhi came over and lowered his voice and said, "Cao Pingbei, the Queen Mother Yan intends to give Princess Anyang to the general. I wonder what the general wants?"
"What?"
Cao Su was stunned...
He quickly said: "How can this be done?"
Seeing Cao Su's attitude, Xunzhi was immediately dissatisfied: "What? The majestic imperial princess is not worthy of General Cao?"
"Of course not!" Cao Su would not be slapped with a high hat casually, he said in a low voice: "It's not like Lord Xun doesn't know that Cao has already married a daughter of the Liu family. After Cao pacifies Piaoxue City,
, he will return to Youzhou Mansion to marry the daughter of the Liu family, so Cao is a person with a marriage contract."
Cao Su thought to himself what the Empress Dowager Yan was doing. When they got engaged, didn't she give them the Dilong Pills and then forget about them?
"What did General Cao say? Do you, the Queen Mother, not even know about this?"
"The Queen Mother said that Anyang is old. Looking at the entire empire, the only young talent who can match Anyang's talent is General Cao."
"General Cao is a dragon and a phoenix among soldiers, and he is also the eagle of the empire. In the future, it will be normal to have three wives and four concubines. As long as Anyang is the head wife of the Cao family, it will be fine. The wedding can be held together."
Cao Su really couldn't understand what Xun Zhi said.
What happened to the capital of God? The Queen Mother Yan sent the princess to her door in a hurry?
If Qingqing is not her biological princess, then it doesn't matter to her?
Xunzhi whispered: "Besides, the Queen Mother has already asked Princess Anyang for her opinion on this matter, and Princess Anyang also nodded in agreement."
Xunzhi smiled and said: "Princess Anyang said that she admires General Cao very much, and it is her blessing to be married to General Cao."
