Chapter 166: Received the title of captain, enter the gate of heaven!
Three days later, Anlehou Mansion.
Chu He is practicing in the bedroom.
Suddenly a guard came to report: "Your Highness, the eldest princess and the imperial envoy are here!"
"knew!"
After Chu He finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the hall.
After a while, Chu He entered the hall and saw the eldest princess and a middle-aged eunuch standing in the room, with many Yulin guards wearing black armor behind them.
Chu He clasped his fists and said, "I have met the imperial sister and the imperial envoy!"
The middle-aged eunuch smiled and said: "Your Highness, you are polite!"
Next to her, the eldest princess said expressionlessly: "Eunuch Chen, you can read out the imperial edict now!"
"Yes, princess!"
Eunuch Chen's face became solemn and he said loudly: "By God's blessing, the emperor has decreed that the fourth prince Wei Xiao will be appointed as a school captain, join the Northern Army, and receive training at Tianmen Pass..."
There is nothing special in the content of the imperial edict, but without this imperial edict, it would be impossible for a prince like Chu He to enter the army at will.
But Chu He always stood and did not kneel down to receive the order.
After a while, Eunuch Chen finished reading the imperial edict, handed it into Chu He's hands, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Fourth Highness, Your Majesty has high hopes for you, I would like to congratulate you first!"
"Thank you, Eunuch Chen!"
After Chu He finished speaking, he looked at the housekeeper Wu Miao.
Wu Miao took out a banknote, handed it to Eunuch Chen, and said with a smile: "Eunuch, you have worked hard all the way!"
Eunuch Chen received the banknote and said with a smile: "Your Highness is interested, so I will leave first."
Immediately, everyone else went down, and only Chu He and the eldest princess were left in the hall.
At this time, the eldest princess stared at Chuhe and said coldly: "Since you don't care about your life and want to fight for the throne, I won't stop you. You can do it on your own from now on."
After she finished speaking, she was leaving.
At this time, Chu He took out a first-grade middle-grade Qiankun bag, handed it to the eldest princess, and said: "Sister Huang, this is for you."
The eldest princess took the bag of heaven and earth, opened it, and probed into it with the soul of an innate warrior. She found a hundred spiritual stones and a stack of spiritual talismans, including the invisibility talisman, the earth escape talisman, the golden light talisman, the divine walking talisman and other life-saving talismans.
, there are also attack talismans such as the Sky Thunder Talisman.
Immediately, the eldest princess looked solemn and said: "Where did you get these things?"
Even though she was a princess, she didn't have many supplies from the world of cultivation, but Chu He came up with so many supplies, which moved her but also made her a little worried.
Chu He smiled and said: "Sister Huang, don't worry, these things have clean origins and are not stolen."
After a while, after some exchanges, Chuhe convinced the eldest princess, and then they went to have a meal together.
In the afternoon, the eldest princess left with the imperial team.
At this time, Chu He also led Lin Qingyun, Li Dongming, Wu Miao, Chen Feng and the bodyguards, together with Bai Xiaotian and Mu Qing, to set out for Tianmen Pass, the Xiongguan Pass where Suizhou meets Beiliang.
Tianmen Pass is the only place where Beiliang Kingdom goes south, and it is also the garrison of 100,000 northern frontier troops.
…
The next evening, the setting sun was like blood.
Chu He and his party arrived in front of Tianmen Pass. Looking from a distance, the city wall of this city was six feet high and nearly twenty meters high. It was extremely majestic. A soldier wearing armor and a solemn expression stood holding a weapon.
By the female wall.
There are mountains to the left and right of Guancheng. As long as the city wall is guarded, even a hundred thousand troops will have difficulty breaking through the barrier.
Seeing the arrival of Chu He and his party, a large number of archers on the city wall immediately bent their bows and set arrows, aiming at Chu He.
At this time, a middle-aged man in red armor looked down at Chu He and others, and said coldly: "Who is coming? Report quickly!"
Bai Xiaotian took off the silver token from his waist and threw it up.
When the middle-aged man in Chi Jia saw the token, he immediately looked at Bai Xiaotian and said loudly: "It's Commander Bai, let me go!"
After a while, Chu He and his party of more than 30 people entered Guancheng.
A quarter of an hour later, the General's Mansion.
Bai Xiaotian and Mu Qing led Chu He to the hall and asked him to wait here.
After a while, a tall and sturdy old man in his fifties, wearing black armor, came to the hall.
Chu He looked at the person who came. Although the old man looked over fifty years old and his hair was a little gray, his energy and blood were extremely strong, just like in the prime of life. His whole body exuded a majestic and hot energy. Compared with Lin Yukun's energy and blood,
The pinnacle master of martial arts is much more powerful.
At this time, the old man said coldly: "Are you blaming me for neglecting you for so many years, so you don't even want to call me grandpa?"
Obviously, he is General Yang Zhan, Chu He's grandfather.
When Chu He heard this, he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "I've met grandpa!"
Yang Zhan nodded and said: "You can think of joining the army and using military merit to win the heir, which is also a good way! After all, whether it is the prince or the second prince, they have the support of an old guy in the pseudo-alchemy realm.
Your grandfather and I are a little less powerful, and our family power is far inferior to that of the so-called four major immortal cultivating families, so the help I can give you is limited. But I will fully support you!"
When Chu He heard this, he cupped his fists and said, "Thank you so much, grandpa!"
Although his goal was not military glory, but to kill monsters, this kind of thing couldn't be explained, so he didn't care.
After some conversation, Chu He initially gained Yang Zhan's approval.
Then, Yang Zhan assigned an elite force of 3,000 people to Chuhe. This force was stationed at a nearby pass, and he could take his guards to take up his post.
The entire northern border is long, so naturally there cannot be only one pass city. There are more than ten pass cities, large and small, near Tianmen Pass.
Later, Chu He got the school captain's badge and appointment document from Yang Zhan, and went to the warehouse to collect the equipment with Lin Qingyun, Li Dongming, Wu Miao, Chen Feng and the guards.
A quarter of an hour later, except for Lin Qingyun, all four people in Chu He put on red armor, and all 30 members of the guard also put on red uniforms.
Immediately, a group of people left the city and prepared to go to that small pass to take up their posts, but found that Bai Xiaotian and Mu Qing were already waiting at the city gate.
Chu He asked: "Why are you here?"
Bai Xiaotian said: "Now that you have officially joined the fight for the right to inherit the throne, the crown prince and the second prince will never show mercy. Even in the army, it is not safe. The general is worried about your safety, so let us protect you and protect you at all times.
Your safety!"
Hearing this, Chu He nodded, and then the group of people rode their horses and rushed to Xiaoguan.
An hour later, the group arrived in front of a small Guancheng.
The city wall of this pass is only five feet high, and its area is much smaller than the grand pass of Tianmen Pass. The three characters of Youyunguan are engraved on the city gate.
Above the city gate, a red-armored young general said loudly: "Who is coming?"
At this time, Chu He showed his captain's badge, and with Bai Xiaotian, the general's personal guard commander, coming forward, the group was able to enter the pass.
Half an hour later, Chu He successfully took office and summoned more than 2,000 soldiers in addition to the customs guards at the school grounds.
He carefully looked at the soldiers, and using his martial arts sense, he found that they all had internal strength. The soldiers with the lowest cultivation level all had acquired internal strength of the second and third levels. The team rate, Du Bo's cultivation level was higher, and the military level was higher.
Hou already has acquired internal strength of eight or nine levels, so he is indeed considered an elite.
Immediately, he gave a speech, mainly talking about improving welfare benefits to win over the morale of the military.
When he first arrived, Chu He did not rush to take the initiative. Instead, he personally led the training of the troops. Through his outstanding martial arts, he convinced all the middle and high-ranking officers in the army. He also taught them martial arts and worked together little by little to increase their tacit understanding.
