Chapter 99 Against the Robber
Zhao Xin lowered his head and thought about something and muttered in a low voice: "Come back alive, live... Well, I understand."
The emperor nodded and waved his hand and said, "It's good that you can understand that the barbarians are not so easy to deal with. Just remember that it's irresistible. It's getting late. Let's go.
Lin Yang and Zhao Xin took the reins from the bodyguard and jumped on the horse's back. At the same time, the two turned to the people behind them and said, "Let's go here and come back in a few days." After saying that, he turned around and picked up the rein and shouted "drive" and rode the horse to the front row of the army.
Although both of them are practitioners and can fly directly with their swords, in order not to be too shocking, they can't help riding on the war horses prepared in the palace. After a few words of instructions to the army, he set off, and saw the vast army slowly leaving Luoyang and walking south.
The emperor stood outside Xuanwu Gate and waited until all the troops could not be seen before he turned his mind and ordered the civil and military officials to go back separately. The moment the emperor turned around and left, he also looked up at the place where Lin Susu and Liu Ruyan had just stood, and nodded meaningfully.
Also looking at the two women who followed silently as the army slowly disappeared, Lin Susu pulled Liu Ruyan's sleeves and said, "They are gone. Let's go back. I believe it will be soon to wait for them to come back in the palace. If it takes a long time, we can just go to them by ourselves.
Liu Ruyan frowned and said sadly, "I want to follow now, but they have their own things to do. If we go there rashly, it will only distract them, but it will delay the trip. All right, let's go back to the palace and wait. After saying that, he disappeared from the same place.
Lin Susu looked at the disappearing Liu Ruyan and shook her head gently. There were some things that everyone understood, and there was no need to say it clearly. At this moment, Lin Susu suddenly felt someone's eyes looking over and turned her head to see the emperor looking this way. Lin Susu quickly flashed away and disappeared in place, because it made Lin Susu feel extraordinary. The two of them stood so far away, and if they hadn't appeared on purpose, others would not have found it at all.
But just now, the emperor's eyes were obviously telling Lin Susu that she had been found. I don't know how the emperor found himself. This was misunderstood by Lin Susu, and the emperor did not find the existence of the two, but the long-term high-level habit made him feel the existence of someone, and he didn't know who it was. However, it can be felt that the two were not malicious, otherwise they would have sent people directly.
In Lin Susu's view, this emperor is by no means an ordinary person. Maybe he is a true scholar and has higher cultivation than himself and others. Shaking his head and not wanting to think about this much, he turned around and left with Liu Ruyan's footsteps.
Zhao Xin and Lin Yang rode on their horses and led the army all the way south. Zhao Xin turned his head and looked at Lin Yang and said, "Do you feel it?"
Lin Yang nodded and said softly, "Naturally, I feel it. They still came out uneasily, but fortunately they have returned to the palace now. To be honest, if they have to go out with them, I really don't know how to refuse them.
Hearing Lin Yang's words, Zhao Xin also nodded. Their cultivation was not much different, and even Zhao Xin was a little higher than Lin Yang. Zhao Xin can naturally feel that Lin Yang can feel it. Lin Susu was quite obedient and did not really follow the army, but went straight back to the palace.
Zhao Xin smiled and said, "When they go back, we don't need to worry. Lin Yang, what do you think of this expedition?
Lin Yang drove his horse forward and bowed his head and said, "In theory, we are right on this expedition against the barbarians, but I always feel that there is something wrong. We'd better be on guard. Maybe it's really not a smooth wind.
Zhao Xin looked at Zhao Xin curiously and asked, "Do you mean that there is something strange about this? Is it someone who uses black hands?
Lin Yang stared at the front and sighed slowly and said, "It's hard to say whether there is such a thing or not. In a word, you will know when you get to the place. Commander Li, how long will it take us to arrive?
Li led the horse to come to Zhao Xin and Lin Yang, turned his head to look at the surrounding terrain, and silently calculated in his heart, "Prince, if you look at the current marching speed, it will take three months to get there."
Lin Yang immediately opened his eyes and said, "What? Three months? It will take three months to delay on the road alone! If it is really as the ministers said, won't the barbarians be able to capture several cities in three months?
Li said unhurriedly, "There is no need to worry about this. As early as a few months ago, the emperor had sent several waves of troops. I still attach great importance to the barbarians.
"How many waves of troops have been sent? Then why did someone say that they could not resist the invasion of the barbarians and lost several cities in a row? May I ask where those troops have been sent? Zhao Xin continued to ask.
"Prince Xin, you know that it takes time for this army to march, and even it takes time to send letters. The situation mentioned above may be the situation a few months ago, and it should be another scene when we arrive. Maybe the barbarians have retreated now!" Commander Li said comfortingly.
Lead Li said so, and Zhao Xin had nothing to say. He nodded lightly and said, "I hope so."
Lin Yang thought for a moment and said, "Let's speed up the march and strive to reach it as soon as possible."
Commander Li refuted Lin Yang's words again: "Fourth prince, no, the current marching speed is the limit that the soldiers can bear. And the empire has a rule that it is not allowed to disturb the people when marching, so it cannot enter the town and can only be stationed outside the city.
Lin Yang hummed and didn't ask anything more. As a prince, he still understood these truths. The most taboo thing about marching and war is to disturb the people. It seems that the next three months will be spent on the street.
The army marched forward safely. During this period, Zhao Xin couldn't stand this kind of boredom. He found Commander Li and asked for a map. When he had time, he rode to the front to explore the way. On this day, Zhao Xin and Lin Yang, who felt bored, said hello and took a step ahead. After Zhao Xin left, Lin Yang felt something was wrong, and he couldn't understand what was wrong.
After Zhao Xin left the army, a man rode his horse forward. In order not to be less eye-catching, the golden armor had long been changed. At this time, Zhao Xin also wore a simple leather armor, looking like a hunter, and his hair was simply tied behind his head like a ponytail.
Zhao Xin stopped to look at the surrounding terrain, looked at the map in his hand, and muttered, "Look at the surrounding environment should be about to reach the scope of barbarian activities. It must take some time for the army, and I will no longer move forward. Just wait for the army here." With that, he jumped off the horse and led the horse into the grass, sitting cross-legged.
Zhao Xin also took a special look at the slow passage of a caravan on the official road not far away, because the caravan was more special. One of the carriages was an iron cage, and the things in the cage were covered by black cloth and could not see what was inside. Zhao Xin just took a casual look and didn't care too much. He lowered his head and continued to look at the map spread on the ground.
After a long time, Zhao Xin suddenly felt uneasy, and the horse standing behind him kicked forward and jumped, hissing. Then Zhao Xin smelled the faint bloody smell floating in the air. Zhao Xin frowned and shouted that it was not good. He immediately turned over and chased in the direction of the caravan.
When Zhao Xin's horse arrived, he saw blood and broken arms. Although such scenes did not affect Zhao Xin's mentality, such cruel measures made Zhao Xin angry.
At this moment, Zhao Xin's air suddenly caught a flash of figure. There is no doubt that he is a true person. I don't know what this caravan brings can make the true person take action. Zhao Xin jumped off the horse, stroked the horse's neck, and said softly, "Go back and inform the fourth prince." After saying that, he unfolded his body and chased in the direction of the figure flashing away.
It's also strange to say that Zhao Xin's war horse is not a spirit beast. After listening to Zhao Xin's words, he turned up to the sky and left here quickly with a hissing sound.
Zhao Xin's cultivation in the middle of Jindan has reached its limit. After a while, he heard the messy footsteps in front of him, as if it was still mixed with the roar of the beast. Zhao Xin knew what was locked in the iron cage when he heard the roar of the beast containing true spirit. If he heard it correctly, there was no doubt that it was a spirit beast.
Zhao Xin accelerated again, and the next moment he saw a team, or the original team was just a change of escort. Looking at these fierce mountain people one by one, thinking of the scene he had just seen, Zhao's confidence was angry, and he shouted and flew straight to the front of the convoy.
At this time, Zhao Xin had already called out the weapon out of his body and held it in his hand. One person directly stopped the middle of the road and shouted angrily, "Stop, you killed those people just now?"
Everyone present was stunned by Zhao Xin for a moment. After a while, everyone shouted and wanted to rush to Zhao Xin. It's just that no matter what organization has a leader, one of the leaders stood up and said disdainfully, "What? Do you think you want to disturb our good deeds by yourself?" After saying that, he laughed.
Zhao Xin waved the long gun in his hand and said coldly, "Just admit that you did it, then die!" He said he was about to rush up.
The leader-like man snorted coldly, "The true man? I may not be afraid of you, but your little cultivation dares to be rampant, and I disdain to take action. After saying that, he waved his hand and saw three people standing opposite Zhao Xin behind the man.
