Yao Yun's words were beyond Bald Long's expectation. He had thought that the prince would scold him, saying that he was not pragmatic and did not want to save face.
Regarding this point, both Bald Dragon and Wu Tong knew well. In the past, a battle away from the city was enough to show off the country's prestige. Now, it does not make much sense whether or not to participate in the monarch's banquet with troops from various countries.
To put it bluntly, all the elite generals were recruited for no other reason than to show off in front of the kings of various countries.
The bald dragon knew his prince's temperament very well, and he was never stingy about spending money. However, the purpose of every expenditure was very clear, and he would never waste money just for the sake of face. If he had said it clearly, the prince would definitely not agree.
Because of their psychological expectations, Bald Long and Wu Tong were mentally prepared to be complained by the Crown Prince (the King).
But now, Yao Yun's unexpected words made the bald dragon startled. Has the king changed his gender?
The bald dragon still couldn't believe it. This was a bit different from what the prince said: "Your Majesty, what you said is true, not irony?"
"Well, wealth does not return to its hometown like brocade clothes walking at night. We work hard to run the Xi Kingdom just to prove that we are not weaker than others. Although we are not going to the imperial capital now, but to the capital of Chu, don't worry, one day we will be prosperous.
When we arrived in the imperial capital, the scene was more beautiful and grand than now!"
Yao Yun said it happily, but his heart was bleeding, so heartbroken~
When the bald dragon heard this, he was inexplicably moved. Yes, why did he, the dragon who became a god in one step, live in Xidu? Isn't it just to be proud and proud one day and return to the clouds to dominate the world?
"Your Majesty, hahahaha, I am waiting for that day!"
Yao Yun's words hit the bald dragon's mind exactly. Under the excitement, a glimmer of light flashed in the bald dragon's eyes.
Yao Yun was a little surprised when he saw that the bald dragon, who had always been careless and heartless, was so excited.
But he soon felt relieved.
Everyone has their own pursuit. They protect and assist him, not only because he is a direct descendant of the Xi family and the crown prince, but also because of Wu Tong. Bald Dragon has his own beliefs. Maybe his words hit Bald Dragon just right.
, Wu Tong’s weakness!
The little bamboo spirit on the side blinked her big bright eyes and touched her head with her little hands, looking like a curious baby. She listened for a long time but didn't understand.
Liusu and Sun Muyue were filled with excitement after listening to it, and were full of expectations for the upcoming monarch's banquet.
Traveling in a hurry, the army of Xi State will soon enter the territory of Chu State.
When heading to the border towns of Chu State, the number of caravans and carriages that were originally rare suddenly increased.
A caravan can range from dozens to hundreds to thousands of people, making it very lively.
Especially some of the large caravans were so majestic and kicked up so much dust that the small caravans were so angry that they dared not speak out.
But compared to Yao Yun's elite army, it pales in comparison.
A well-trained army with strict orders appears in a chaotic caravan. The caravans going back and forth always avoid it in awe and discuss it carefully in private.
"Hey, this noble man is traveling in such great style!"
"I didn't even know that. Chu State held a monarch's banquet, and the person in front of me should be a monarch. Tsk, tsk, tsk, he's so majestic, look at it!"
"What an elite division!"
...
Along the way, the bald dragon hid in the dark and listened to the exclamations of the passing caravans, which made him feel very happy.
Yao Yun saw this in his eyes and couldn't help but shake his head.
A bald dragon who loves to show off.
This is a lot of money!
Yao Yun is still full of resentment.
The convoy entered the territory of Chu State in a mighty manner. After negotiating with the Chu army and taking out the invitation for the banquet of the king of Chu State, the army successfully entered the territory of Chu State.
With such an elite army escorting them, there were few ferocious beasts and monsters on the road, and the journey was uneventful, which allowed many caravans to take advantage.
They all followed the army at a distance, and the journey was uneventful. Many caravan teammates even joked that this was the smoothest business trip they had ever had, and they didn't even see a ferocious beast!
Perhaps because the military discipline was strict and Qiu did not commit any crimes, some people in the caravan had the courage to communicate with Yao Yun.
"Your Majesty, a caravan leader came to us and said that there is a place to stay ahead of us. It is getting dark soon. What do you think?"
Cangman rode a burnt-tailed fire ox to Yao Yun's carriage and softly reported.
Yao Yun opened the car curtain and nodded slightly: "Oh~ bring him to see Gu."
"Here!"
Cang Man didn't ask any further questions and quickly brought a middle-aged fat businessman over.
"Little Min Biaohu has met King Xi!"
On the way, Cang Man gave everything he needed to tell the merchants, and the merchants did not dare to neglect him. He knelt down on the ground and saluted respectfully.
Yao Yun asked him to stand up, and then asked: "How far away is this place from the capital of Chu?"
The merchants had been going to Chu State all year round to do business, so they were familiar with the roads, so they immediately replied: "We still need two days to go back to King Xi. King Xi... It's getting dark, and we're afraid we won't be able to get to the city in this desolate place."
In the countryside, ferocious beasts and monsters run rampant, and dangers abound. There is a mountain temple ahead, blessed by the gods, and it is very safe. The common people came here to inform the king!"
When Yao Yun heard this, he immediately became interested: "Mountain God Temple? Have you ever seen the Mountain God?"
Businessman Biaohu hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head: "I am just a mere merchant. How can I have the chance to meet Grandpa Mountain God? Oh~ King Xi, I don't dare to lie to you. Although I have never seen Grandpa Mountain God, caravan travelers coming and going often do.
I went to the mountain temple to seek shelter overnight, and it worked!"
Speaking of this, the merchant seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly his eyebrows were dancing: "In the past, there were caravans who did not believe in evil and did not want to pay filial piety to the mountain god. They camped in a mountain col not far away. As a result, other caravans passed by that mountain col the next day.
It was discovered that the people in the caravan were harmed by monsters and ferocious beasts. Some of them died and some of them disappeared. How can it be so tragic!"
Yao Yun heard what the merchant said vividly, and he became interested immediately. He said that he had always wanted to see the real gods, but he never had the chance. He didn't know if he could realize his wish this time.
So, Yao Yun ordered to go to the mountain temple mentioned by the merchant to have a look.
As for whether what the merchant said was true or false, Yao Yun had already seen it with his discerning eye. There was no problem. Besides, no merchant had the guts to deceive an elite army!
Yao Yun gave the order, and the army, led by the merchants, rushed towards the mountain temple.
When Yao Yun and others left, there were already many caravans stationed in the mountain temple. The entire mountain temple was surrounded by water, and the inner and outer three floors were filled with caravans from all over the place.
Yao Yun and his party naturally attracted the attention of all the caravans. When they saw the army, they walked towards the mountain temple without saying a word. The caravans from all over the place were very dissatisfied, but when they saw that it was a well-trained army, no one dared to get angry.
Word.
Yao Yun jumped off the carriage and wanted to go to the mountain temple to see what was going on. But at this moment, the bald dragon suddenly said: "Your Majesty, this temple has an evil spirit!"
