On this day, the first day of October, the sun is just right and the sky is clear!
A cavalry team composed of tall aliens with different hair colors such as blonde, brown hair, black hair, blue eyes, green eyes, gold eyes and other eye colors came to the imperial capital.
The horses they sat on were all the strongest horses. Under the control of these knights, these horses did not make the slightest sound.
The entire cavalry team was like a group of ghosts, silent and silent.
Not even the sound of the horses snorting.
The knights on horseback were all tall and tall, and what was frightening was that their armors were covered with gray-brown stains.
The warriors in the crowd and the soldiers guarding the door could all recognize it as dried blood.
In the eyes of warriors and soldiers, this group of people has become a group of murderous gods.
There was a faint stream of blood rising from their heads, and finally they gathered together and twisted into one.
You can call it: fighting spirit!
Outside Yongding Gate, the people passing by stopped and looked at this group of weirdos strangely.
If someone from the imperial court had not appeared, this group of common people would have made these golden retrievers angry by pointing their fingers.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
The little stool trotted all the way to Emperor Xuyang's bedroom.
At this time, Emperor Xuyang was looking at the geographical annals attentively, and there was a report from Shandong on the table beside him.
The encirclement of Liangshan has been completed, and the next step is a round of negotiations.
The imperial court still hoped to use Zhao'an's method.
Of course, the court had a list of Zhao'an's targets.
Only a small number of them are on the list of people who can survive after Zhao'an.
The remaining people will be killed without mercy!
The emperor, who was studying the next decision, would naturally be very unhappy if someone interrupted him.
However, Little Stool pointed out the key points very sensibly and directly, without giving the emperor a chance to get angry.
“A group of aliens came outside Yongding Gate!
The soldiers who sent the message said that there are golden hair, yellow hair, red hair, all kinds of hair..."
Emperor Xuyang immediately put down the geography in his hand.
Is it finally here?
Emperor Xuyang stood up slowly.
A power unique to the emperor slowly emerged from his body.
The strong pressure made the body lowered by the stool become even lower.
"Let the Duke of Wu, the Duke of Qin, and the Marquis of Jin come to see you!
At the same time, let Fan Xian, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, go to greet the Western visitors! "
"yes!"
Just as Little Stool was about to exit, Emperor Xuyang's voice sounded again.
“No, that’s not necessary.
Letting the civil servants go will only ruin my Zhengyang reputation.
Send an order to the Marquis of Jin to bring all the guests to greet our guests! "
Emperor Xuyang's voice became colder and colder, and by the end it was chilling to the bone!
Little Stool couldn't help but tremble, he responded and left in a hurry.
Outside Yongding Gate, this group of Western visitors stood straight in front of Yongding Gate.
Blocking most of the road at the Yongding Gate exit.
But they didn't seem to notice anything.
There are three burly knights at the front.
The leader was wearing exquisite armor, with a pair of sharp eyes like an eagle behind his faceplate. There is a scabbard on his waist, and there is a green gem the size of a pigeon egg on the hilt.
"Deputy envoy, along the way, this Eastern country is indeed vast. But most of the places are too barren. Is such a place really worth our conquest?"
Gaius Gust said in Western language.
Half a horse behind him was an extremely burly knight. Even on horseback, one could predict that he would be over seven feet tall and as tall as a mountain god.
Behind the visor is a pair of blue eyes as deep as the ocean. He seems to be able to see through the entire Zhengyang world.
He is the deputy envoy of this mission, Governor of Vienna Adolf Sauerland.
“Your Highness Gust, don’t underestimate the Kingdom of the East.
Secretary-General Mills had already made inquiries for us on our way here.
The richest place in the Zhengyang Empire is in the south.
As for why they wanted to set up their capital in the north, it was because they wanted to guard the border here and resist the invasion of the northern grasslands.
This alone deserves our attention. "
"Okay Governor, I understand."
Adolf shook his head slightly. He knew that once His Highness started to deal with him, he would call himself Governor.
The one who fell last, behind the visor, was a pair of blue eyes. He looked around warily, looking at the soldiers at the gate of the city, constantly looking at them, as if calculating something.
He is the deputy head of the Holy Knights of the Holy See, Carter Kerr.
"Captain Carter, has the assessment been completed?"
Gust asked.
"Your Highness, we have already estimated it."
"Oh, how's it going?"
There was a hint of curiosity on Gust's face.
“If we say the warriors here are the most elite warriors in the Eastern Kingdom.
Then I can only say that I am very disappointed.
The strength of the soldiers standing guard at the city gate is really too weak.
If you give me a charging distance of 500 meters, I can even break in before they close the city gate. "
"Does that mean that to conquer this majestic city, you only need me to give you five hundred knights?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
Carter looked confident. He looked at the gate of this majestic city with disdain on his face.
"How long do we have to wait here, Governor."
Gust asked again, an impatient look appeared on his face behind the visor.
Along the way, it took them two and a half months to finally arrive at the capital of this eastern country.
The other party should have known that he would come.
Nor did he wait at the city gate early.
He had never suffered this kind of treatment since he was a child.
"Be calm and don't be impatient.
In the words of Zhengyang Kingdom, be patient and don't be impatient.
We are now an envoy, not an expeditionary force. We must guard against arrogance and impetuosity.
Otherwise, do you think we can make it in this country with a population of tens of millions? "
Adolf said with a smile.
"snort!"
Gust was already a little impatient with the Governor's vigilance.
According to his intention, their cavalry will pass directly from the west.
Kill gods when you see them, kill Buddha when you see Buddhas.
He wanted to show his strength in front of this weak Eastern country.
Let him tremble under his feet in disobedience.
Suddenly, while Gust was still thinking this, the rest of his mount began to restless.
First he took two steps back, then snorted heavily.
These war horses were given to them by their friends when they were in Hanzhong Mansion.
After nearly two months of training, I have already become submissive to them.
I didn't expect that something unusual would happen now.
Gust hammered the horse's head hard. Instead of being honest, the horse he sat on became more and more restless.
Gust here is still confused as to why his horse suddenly behaved like this.
Adolf next to him pinched the horse's belly with a solemn expression, allowing Zhan Mark to control the fear in his heart.
Yes, it's fear.
Judging from his decades of experience in fighting, his and Gust's horses were frightened.
And this kind of fright comes from a kind of momentum.
That momentum rushed out from the city gate in front without any scruples.
The next moment Adolf saw a troop of cavalry.
This cavalry did not charge, but slowly emerged from the doorway.
The person at the forefront of the cavalry is none other than the fully armored Marquis of Jin State, Shangguan Ba.
And this cavalry was the Wushen Army that Shangguan Ba used to easily strangle the rebels.
Qualified to carry a Thousand Bull Crossbow.
The most powerful cavalry guarding the north, Shanxi and Shandong provinces.
It is also the strongest army in Shangguan Ba's hands.
Because a rebel army had just been massacred.
The murderous spirit in this cavalry has not yet dissipated.
If you can see it, you will find that the blood condensed in this cavalry is more solid and thicker than that of the visitors from the west!
Of course Adolf felt how powerful Shangguan Ba was.
But in the Holy Roman Empire, personal power was not power that truly deserved respect.
Only a strong commander who leads an army is respected.
Shangguan Ba was obviously a powerful warrior, but also a powerful commander.
Just as Shangguan Ba rode his horse away from the city gate, dozens of Qianniu crossbows on the city wall changed their directions at the same time, pointing at the mission below.
At the same time, behind the mission, on a carriage transporting baggage, the red-faced old William opened his sleepy eyes.
He drank again and passed away.
However, he was awakened by dozens of Qianniu crossbows.
He rubbed his somewhat confused eyes, sighed and whispered:
"The mysterious Eastern country... still has something to offer!
This thing must be brought back to the empire for study. "
While old William was looking at the Thousand Ox Crossbow on the city wall with stern eyes, Shangguan Ba had also arrived in front of Adolf.
Gust was still calming his horse at this time, but he had already raised his head to look at Shangguan Ba.
From behind the other party, he seemed to see a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Among Shangguan Ba's several identities, he believed that he did best as a general.
In these years, he had almost completely given up control of Emperor Wu City, focusing on the battlefield every day and night.
Countless people have died in his hands or under the troops he led.
The Holy Roman Empire's cultivation techniques were somewhat strange, which allowed Gust to see some visions.
Gust had only seen this kind of vision in a few marshals of his own empire.
Even Governor Adolf, who was as powerful as him, did not produce such a vision.
Until this moment, Gust finally put away his pride and underestimated Zhengyang.
"Dear Your Excellency, I am... the Governor of the Holy Roman Empire... Vienna... Adolf Sauerland.
This is...our Holy Roman...Prince...Gust
In other words, your country’s... um... Commander-in-Chief! "
Shangguan Ba raised his eyebrows when he heard the other party's lame Zhengyang words.
A Western alien actually learned their language and even understood their culture...
For a man of great wisdom like Shangguan Ba, such a move is very unusual!
It's just like……
Exploration before invasion!
"I am Shangguan Ba, the Marquis of Jin State in Zhengyang, the Governor of Shanxi and Shandong Provinces!
By the order of my king, come to welcome the visitors from the west! "
“I’m sorry, sir, I… can only… introduce myself.
The rest...communication...is left to my secretary...Leslie! "
Adolf waved his hand, and the cavalry team behind him dispersed, and a passage appeared.
A knight in shining armor walked out slowly.
Leslie was dressed in silver armor with uneven shapes. She did not wear a face shield, and a strange Western face appeared in front of everyone.
"Your Excellency the Marquis!"
Leslie's Zhengyang Mandarin is simply...exactly the same as that of Zhengyang people!
Even better than some people said!
Shangguan Ba raised his eyebrows again, this woman...
There are also women generals in Zhengyang, and there is even the famous General Luoshen.
But even female generals wear plate armor.
That is, the same armor style as men's.
And the other party's silver armor...
Even though there was some "see no evil", Shangguan Ba's mind was not on those dirty things.
He paid more attention to the other party's forging craftsmanship.
To achieve that look, Zhengyang’s standard craftsmanship cannot do it!
Only those masters of weapon refining can spend a long time slowly polishing and developing it.
I just don’t know whether the opponent’s armor is standard or...
"Hello!"
Shangguan Ba was stunned for only a moment, and Leslie opposite him immediately showed a charming smile.
After taking a look at the silent knights behind these four people, Shangguan Ba said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty has issued an order to allow ten members of your envoys to enter. The rest can be stationed at Xuanwei Camp."
Shangguan Ba's voice contained no emotion.
"Dear Lord Marquis, does the Emperor of the Empire still remember a few hundred of us?"
Although the words were serious, Leslie's voice was soft and waxy, as if it was eroding people's bones.
"The Zhengyang Empire is majestic, vast in territory and rich in resources, and I heard that the Zhengyang Empire is the most popular..."
"enough!"
Leslie originally wanted to use Zhengyang's historical allusions to rub it in.
What he didn't expect was a scolding from the straight man Shangguan Ba.
Leslie's face suddenly showed a look of grievance.
But the straight man will not look at your face.
If Leslie knew that Shangguan Ba's wife had not seen Shangguan Ba in the boudoir for almost ten years, she would not try to influence him with her beauty.
"..."
Leslie was silent, she had nothing to say, she already was.
Or maybe she can't think of anything better to say right now.
Shangguan Ba looked at them coldly without any expression.
Leslie finally recounted Shangguan Ba's words word for word in Western language.
"You bastard! How dare he, a mere marquis?"
A look of anger appeared on Gust's face.
If it were in his empire, even the Duke would have to be polite to him.
And the other party is just a marquis.
Gust's anger fell into Shangguan Ba's eyes.
Zheng!
The sword on Shangguan Ba's waist was unsheathed by an inch, and at the same time, more swords were unsheathed.
All the cavalrymen behind Shangguan Ba had their sharp swords out of their sheaths, pointing diagonally at the ground. The sharp blades of their weapons were facing outwards, and a sharp edge soaring into the sky surged forward.
Gust's face changed slightly.
The fighting spirit of the opposing cavalry was actually united, and they pointed in the same direction under the leadership of the opposing coach.
Extremely accurate!
This kind of control... not many generals in the empire seem to be able to achieve it.
And the opponent's blade was pointing right at him.
He suddenly felt an overwhelming fighting spirit.
His legs trembled a bit unsatisfactorily, but in the end he held it back with a sense of arrogance and unyieldingness.
He did not lose the prince's face in front of foreign countries.
Suddenly a big hand appeared in front of him. The hands seemed to be a solid wall, blocking all the sharp fighting intentions for him.
"Your Majesty the Marquis... we respect... His Majesty the Emperor's request!"
Shangguan Ba narrowed his eyes and looked at this extremely tall man.
The middle-grade Dacheng realm... was actually able to block their fighting spirit.
This alien is a bit interesting.
Zheng!
Shangguan Ba sheathed his sword, and the knights behind him also sheathed their weapons.
It's not that he deliberately wants to give the other party a hint of power. But he knows deeply that a weak country has no diplomacy.
In the diplomacy between the two countries, one must show its muscles as much as possible.
Otherwise, you will only be looked down upon or even looked down upon by other countries.
There is no peaceful exchange between countries at all.
It's all about showing your strength to get the opportunity to talk on an equal footing.
"Carter, you can take the knights and follow this general."
Adolf said.
The burly Carter nodded silently.
A burly general also appeared next to Shangguan Ba.
The general rode out alone and headed towards Xuanwei Camp's garrison.
Carter snorted and chased after him.
The cavalry regiment turned around uniformly and followed Carter.
There was no sloppiness in the whole process.
Shangguan Ba took another deep look at the leaving cavalry.
At this time, in addition to Gust, Adolf, and Leslie, there was also an old alien who looked a little drunk.
Shangguan Ba actually felt a touch of pressure from this old alien man who seemed to be drunk.
Or when the other party is drunk.
"Top grade... Dacheng."
Shangguan Ba made a judgment in his mind.
He turned slightly to make way for a passage, Adolf and others understood.
Shangguan Ba said that only ten people could enter the city at most.
They simply let only four people in.
Gust's status was the tallest among the people, so he should have walked in front.
But Shangguan Ba stretched out his hand to stop him and said:
“This country respects the old and loves the young, and the elders go first!”
Leslie repeated Shangguan Ba's words to the three of them.
Gust almost showed an angry look on his face again.
But old William reached out and patted him, and most of his anger subsided.
"teacher……"
Gust murmured.
Old William burped and said lightly.
"This is the heart-breaking strategy of the Eastern Kingdom.
Don't fall for their trick! "
Gust took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his body, and then nodded silently.
Then old William walked first.
Adolf followed.
Gust and Leslie walked last.
The group of people crossed Zhengyang Street, which surprised them.
The people on both sides of Zhengyang Street looked at the four people with strange eyes as if they were looking at some kind of monster.
"The people are ignorant and have not yet become wise."
Old William made a judgment.
"but……"
Old William looked at the clothes of the people, the buildings in the city, the wide roads, and the almost endless Zhengyang Street.
“The prosperity here is really enviable!”
"pS. Officially entered the third volume, The Jianghu in My Heart!
Love is always there in thousands of rivers and mountains, can you vote for me? "
