Chapter 810 Recalling the youth of the past and admiring the son of today
Ma Teng took the lead in using his profound energy to display his body skills, leaping up to the top of the city in three steps and two steps at a time, looking down at the city.
A hundred steps away from the city gate, a young man wearing golden armor, holding a silver spear and riding a horse came into view.
"Hahaha, it's Chen Shen! Hurry, open the city gate!"
"Squeak——"
Fifty soldiers stationed at the door worked together to slowly open the two heavy tungsten doors that had been baptized by war and were now deeply dented.
Chen Shen rode his horse in unhurriedly.
When he entered the city, Deng Yideng and others, under the cover of the Qiaoqi Army, happened to arrive.
When the two were hundreds of feet apart, Chen Shen had already taken the lead to get off his horse, clasped his hands in fists, and gave a junior salute to the splendid old man: "Students pay homage to the dean!"
Chen Shen was only studying at Kowloon City College, and his relationship with Dean Deng was not a master-student relationship.
It is a bit far-fetched to say that Deng Yideng was his "guide" - after all, Chen Shen was self-taught in both his alchemy skills and mystical energy cultivation, and Jiulong Academy's help to him was really limited.
Now, this young man is even more respected as a general. Regardless of his status or strength, he, Deng Yideng, is not in his turn to receive this great gift.
But Chen Shen did just that, which flattered Deng Yideng!
He hurriedly jumped off the horse and stepped forward quickly to lift up the young man who was crouching down. His eyes kept flashing with excitement and he almost burst into tears: "I can't accept such a great gift from General Chen. Please come quickly."
rise!"
"Old Dean, you are too humble. You definitely deserve this gift from me as a junior!" Chen Shen ignored the other party's objections and bowed again.
This is not superficial, but a sincere greeting.
Although he didn't spend much time at Kowloon College, the old man in front of him always cared about him. Until the Hundred Schools League, the sixty-year-old man was worried about him.
Later, thanks to the blessing of Dean Deng, Chen Shen obtained a shadow splitting talisman that concealed the spirit of mutated elements, and became the Earth-level Blood-devouring Sky Rainbow Thunder today.
Although the gift from Dean Deng was unintentional, Chen Shen remembered this kindness in his heart and was very grateful.
"I haven't seen you for many days. I didn't expect that my student would meet you again, but it would be on this journey south."
Chen Shen glanced at Ma Teng and others who were surrounding him with lingering fear, and said: "This time Kowloon City has suffered a catastrophe. Fortunately, the teacher and everyone are not seriously injured, otherwise the students will really regret it for the rest of their lives!"
Luo Tian immediately spoke: "Thanks to General Chen's timely rescue, we saved our lives."
Ma Teng couldn't stop nodding: "Yes, yes...if it weren't for Admiral Chen's elite knights, Kowloon City would have been destroyed!"
Ma Weishan looked excited: "I have long heard that General Chen used his troops like a god. He used only 20,000 brave cavalry and 3,000 bloody guards to defeat the Northern Yi barbarians in northern Xinjiang. He defeated those inhumane people and could not stand up!
"
"When I saw it today, the rumors turned out to be true!"
Luo Xiang nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes. Admiral Chen will assist the east and west of the city with his cavalry troops, and his tiger and beast fighting pets will assist the north of the city."
"In the south of our city, General Chen personally took action and annihilated more than 100,000 rebels with incredible means."
"Relieving the danger of Kowloon City in all aspects, such achievements are truly unprecedented!"
Everyone was full of praise, but looking at his expression, it was all sincerity and there was no hint of flattery.
They never imagined that a year ago they were just a "little weak chicken" in the last class of the college, but more than a year later, they would grow to such an extent!
To be the commander-in-chief of an army, to enjoy the dignity of a general, to dominate the battlefield, to be invincible...
If they hadn’t seen this with their own eyes, they wouldn’t believe it even if they were killed!
"I won't say any more polite words. Why don't we go into the city lord's palace to have a talk?"
Chen Shen looked around and asked with a smile: "By the way, where is the old man, City Lord Xiao? Could it be that he is quietly starting a celebration banquet in the City Lord's Mansion, preparing to give this junior a surprise?"
"This..." The head of the Ma family and the head of the Luo family looked at each other, and the smiles on their faces suddenly solidified.
"Alas!" Dean Deng couldn't help but feel a sad look on his face, and sighed heavily.
Chen Shen's heart suddenly tightened, and an unknown premonition filled his heart: "Could Lord Xiao be..."
"Alas! It's a long story at this point. Let's go, let's go to the City Lord's Mansion to discuss it in detail."
Chen Shen nodded sadly.
I remember that when Xia Caiyue sent Ouyang brothers to Kowloon City to plot evil against Shun Lao and Ling'er, thanks to City Lord Xiao, he stepped forward and fought hard with those powerful enemies. He persisted until Chen Shen rushed back and the danger was averted.
Chen Shen will always remember this kindness in his heart.
I wanted to express my gratitude again when I came back this time, but I never thought that God’s will would make people...
Chen Shen ordered the Knights and Blood Guards to clean up the battlefield, and he and Dean Deng and others headed towards the city lord's mansion.
A moment later, in the lobby of the city lord's mansion.
Dean Deng, the patriarchs of the Ma and Luo families, and the alchemists sat down and forced Chen Shen to take the main seat.
On the bluestone floor in the hall, the bones of Lord Xiao were not yet cold, and blood was scattered all over the ground.
Wang Jin, the chief deacon of Kowloon City and Xiao Mo's close confidant, was kneeling on the ground with a look of grief on his face, nodding his head to Chen Shen who was sitting on the throne and bowing: "General Chen, you must avenge Xiao City Lord.
!”
The young man nodded calmly: "Brother Wang, don't worry, I have slaughtered all the 200,000 rebels in Huainan, and the leader of the thieves, Kun Qianyao, has been killed."
"City Lord Xiao's revenge has been avenged."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Wang Jin waving his hands and shaking his head: "No, no, no! The one who killed the Lord of the City was not the Huainan enemy army, but the Crown Prince Xia Tong!"
Chen Shen was startled when he heard this: "What did you say? Prince Xia Tong?"
"That's right!" At this time, Deng Yideng took over the conversation and said through gritted teeth: "Old Xiao spent several days in Kowloon City."
"In order to protect Kowloon City, Lao Xiao even sent his two wives and only son to the city to fight fiercely, but unfortunately they all died in the battle."
"As a result, Xia Tong was cowardly and fearful of death, and was too timid to fight and seek to escape. In order not to take responsibility, the bastard falsely accused Lao Xiao of colluding with the Huainan rebels and killed him when he was not prepared."
"Afterwards, Xia Tong led nearly 70,000 princely troops and fled through the north gate, leaving us to bear the eternal infamy of treason and wait for death here!"
When Deng Yideng finished speaking, he was filled with grief and anger. The nails of his clenched fists were deeply embedded in the flesh of his palms, and blood flowed like silk...
During this defense of the city, the prince took away 60,000 to 70,000 troops and fled the city, making the battle in Kowloon City even more tragic.
Ma Teng, the head of the Ma family, lost an arm, and Luo Tian, the head of the Luo family, lost his left eye.
Even Ma Weishan and Luo Xiang were disabled - the former's left shoulder blade was penetrated by a poisonous arrow. To prevent the poison from spreading, Ma Weishan personally dug out half of his shoulder bone!
The latter's left thigh was torn, his hip bone was half broken, and he became a cripple.
The fate of City Lord Xiao was the most tragic. Not only did he lose his wife and son to defend the city, but he even risked his own life and died at the hands of "one of his own"...
