At that time, Bai Ze was summarizing the previous battle with the black-robed Taoist in the military tent. Although Bai Ze and him had a history of fighting each other, if Yu Youwei hadn't been there, Bai Ze would have died this time.
Yu Youwei was betting on Bai Ze's ultimate move, and Bai Ze was betting that Yu Youwei would definitely take action when he couldn't resist. And once she takes action, Bai Ze can also predict Yu Youwei's strength.
In that battle, the black-robed Taoist's strength was obviously at the level of Zhiwei. Bai Ze used the Spiritual Deer Jade, but was still pressed and beaten by the demon horn, which meant that Bai Ze still had no chance of winning against Shang Zhiwei - provided that the dragon soul did not break free from the suppression of the one-page book and dominate his body.
"Now it seems that with all my strength, I can only compete with the monks in the late stage of the other side. As for victory, I can only win in the middle stage of the other side." Bai Zexin said, "And Yu Youwei can easily kill that Taoist, I am afraid that my strength is probably already Touched the supreme state."
Supreme.
Bai Ze didn't feel the pressure was huge.
Being with such a monster-like girl with extraordinary strength, whose intentions are unknown and who seems like a friend and an enemy, is really disturbing.
In the military tent, Bai Ze took off his two swords and placed them on the table. The arrangement in the tent was simple, with only a writing desk, a futon for sitting on one's knees, and a simple camp bed.
It was already dusk. Bai Ze stretched out his hand and pointed. The "Five Elements Sword Manual" transformed the pure Yang Qi. A little fire appeared on Bai Ze's fingertips and lit the oil lamp on the desk.
After getting the Spirit Sword Huangshan, after successive battles across different levels, this Huang-level Spirit Sword, the lowest level of the fourth-grade Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang, finally couldn't hold it anymore. There were seven gaps in the sword body, and it was not far from being scrapped.
Loud sound of horse hooves could be heard outside the military tent, and a bonfire had been lit in the camp. Mu Chen sent the Huotou Army ahead of time to set up a grill and roast meat in the camp. The aroma was already fragrant.
"Brother Bai Ze, I'm here!" Mu Chen's voice came from outside the military tent. When Bai Ze heard this, he immediately took the big cloak, put it on his body and got out of the military tent.
"Haha, it's really you!" As soon as Bai Zefu left the military tent, someone rushed over, hugged him, and patted his shoulder vigorously, "I wasn't sure at first, but when I heard Miss Qingtian say, your boy is in Dushan I wrestled with a cold jade bear king, and even knocked the bear king down! I thought that with such strange strength, it was probably you. Now I came here to take a look, and I didn’t run away!"
As soon as Bai Ze heard the voice, he knew the person coming was Ouyang Mu. He was not polite at that moment, pushed the young swordsman away, punched him in the chest, almost knocked Ouyang Mu to the ground, and said: "Ouyang, you didn't die in Dushan, it's really God's fault. "
"Damn it!" After not seeing him for two months, Ouyang Mu became slovenly and unkempt, "I didn't die in Dushan, I almost died with your punch!" He said and punched Baize back.
"Young hero." Qingtian greeted Bai Ze with a smile. The girl was dressed in plain clothes, with no makeup on her face, but she was still very beautiful. Her body still had a faint scent of herbs, which added a bit of mystery to her face.
"Miss Qingtian." Bai Ze smiled, "We meet again."
"Last time in Dushan, I didn't have time to thank the young hero for saving his life." Qingtian said, "The young hero left without saying goodbye. Fortunately, our fate was not over, and we met again."
"Hmph." Mu Qingling, who came with her in red armor and a black robe to keep out the cold, glared at Bai Ze, "Bai Ze, it turns out that leaving without saying goodbye is your usual style! I think you clearly didn't understand Sister Qingtian and I are friends!"
"This..." Bai Ze was very embarrassed. Yu Youwei happened to come out of another military tent with an incomprehensible expression and glanced at him with a half-smile.
"Hey, sister, please don't embarrass Brother Bai Ze." Mu Chen smiled and smoothed things over. "Brother Bai Ze does have urgent matters that need to be dealt with. I asked him about it at the camp before. Is that right, Bai Ze?" He said to him Wink.
"Yes, that's right." Bai Ze followed suit, "My master asked me to go to Dushan to collect herbs. Time was running out and I left suddenly. I originally wanted to say goodbye to you."
"Is that so?" Mu Qingling looked at Bai Ze suspiciously.
"Of course, can I still lie to you?" Bai Ze asked back.
"Okay, okay, now that everyone is here, don't mention anything else." Mu Chen said, pointing to the blazing bonfire, "It's rare to get together. Let's drink happily tonight, in this big camp, in the ice and snow. Wouldn’t it be fun to chat about life?”
"Your Majesty, what you said makes sense!" Bai Ze was the first to agree.
A group of people sat around the bonfire, and the beef legs as tall as each person were roasted in the fire until they were oily and fragrant, making people salivate.
"Come on, do it!" Mu Chen took the lead, and everyone raised their wine bowls. The wine is strong liquor in the military camp. Take a sip before the battle, throw your head and shed your blood, and serve the country without worries.
Even Yu Youwei, Mu Qingling and Qingtian took a few sips. Bai Ze, Ouyang, Lu Zheng, and Muchen started drinking happily.
After drinking several bowls of strong wine, my whole body became warm.
After everyone drank for a long time, they ate all the beef and only the bones were left. Lu Zheng still had night patrol duties and had resigned earlier. After chatting for a while, they dispersed.
Seeing that everyone had left, Mu Chen went into the military tent with Bai Ze. He was smelling of alcohol. When he saw the two swords on the low table, he picked up Huangshan, pulled it out, and looked at Huangshan's incomplete parts under the dim light. Sword body, said: "Do you still keep this sword? I think it is useless. Hehe, it seems that I came at the right time!"
"Oh, how do you say this?" Bai Ze asked after entering the military tent and feeling that it was much warmer inside than outside.
Mu Chen clapped his hands, and the sergeant who had been waiting outside the military tent for a long time came in with a huge tray in his hand, on which was piled a pair of black armor and a jade sword.
Mu Chen put down the Huangshan in his hand, stepped forward and grabbed the sword on the tray, and pulled the sword out of the scabbard with a clang. A cold light flashed in the military tent, and Bai Ze felt the cold sword energy coming towards his face. , his eyes suddenly lit up.
"What a sword!" Bai Ze praised.
"The name of this sword is Qingshuang, and it was originally a pair of twin swords with my black jade sword. It was the last work of swordsmith Meng Chong in his life. Both swords are Xuan-level spiritual swords." Mu Chen threw Qingshuang to Bai Ze, "You saved Qingling's life in Dushan. My father has always been grateful to me, but he really didn't have time to thank you in person. Now that you and I meet again, I will give this sword to you on my father's behalf. I hope you won't refuse!"
Mysterious level spiritual sword!
Bai Ze couldn't help but be amazed in his heart. This Heyang Marquis really had a great family and a great business, and his actions were so extraordinary.
"Since the Crown Prince has said so, wouldn't it be disrespectful if I refuse again?" Bai Ze said with a smile, catching Qingshuang, the sword was slender, about three feet, the green light was restrained, the sword pattern was like a dragon, he flicked it with one finger, The sound of the sword was sweet and clear. "Thank you, Crown Prince, for the gift of the sword!" He glanced at the tray in the sergeant's hand, "It's just, this black armor?"
"Haha, since you came to the camp, do you want to run away like this?" Mu Chen smiled heartily and patted Bai Ze on the shoulder, "I told you when I was in Heyang City that I would take you outside the city when I had time. The camp is gesticulating. Now it seems that instead of waiting until then, it is better for you to stay here and join me to see who you are in the enemy's formation!"
"Okay!" Bai Ze agreed.
The battlefield is a man's destiny. Bai Ze already felt his blood boiling when he came to the camp. Now that Mu Chen invited him to meet him on the battlefield, he was filled with joy.
Bai Ze has a warlike blood burning in his bones!
"Come here!" Mu Chen said, "Put this armor on for Young Hero Bai Ze!"
"Yes!" Two sergeants walked in from outside the tent, took off the black armor from the tray, and put it on Bai Ze respectfully.
It was the first time for Bai Ze to wear armor and he found it novel. The black armor weighed no more than fifty pounds. The breastplate, shoulder armor, wrist guards, gauntlets, battle skirt, leggings, combat boots, and battle robe were put on by the two sergeants one by one. Within a moment, Bai Ze looked like a He looks like a young general!
He wears two swords on his waist, without edge or green frost. Mu Chen put the helmet on Bai Ze's head, strode out of the military tent with him, adjusted his uniform, got on his horse, and whispered: "Follow me."
Bai Ze was also unequivocal. He took the reins from the sergeant beside him, turned over neatly, sat firmly on the horse's back, and followed Mu Chen's horse quietly out of the camp.
The night wind howled, and the Heyang camp was freezing.
Mu Chen and Bai Ze rode straight towards the back of the camp. When passing by the camp where the injured were located, they could hear the obvious wailing, which was moving in the cold night wind.
The prince reined in his horse, and even outside the camp, a strong smell of blood could be smelled.
"Many of them are soldiers who were injured when the alien beasts attacked the camp that day." Mu Chen said in a serious tone, "For some reason, the alien beast Zhu Yan suddenly appeared in the Heyang camp, causing huge chaos. Fortunately, the Grand Duke took action to suppress it in time. That strange beast, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
"The military beast Zhu Yan recorded in "The Record of Kyushu Strange Beasts"?" Bai Ze asked. "It is said that when this beast appears, there will be a war. It is an ominous sign."
"Yes." Mu Chen nodded, "But I always feel that this matter is not that simple."
"How?" Bai Ze asked.
"Zhu Yan once appeared in front of the gate of Hulao Pass. At that time, any weapons of the guards on the tower of Hulao Pass were swallowed by the strange beast, and then walked away." Mu Chen said, "It is recorded in ancient books , Zhu Yan appears, a war is coming. I have never heard that this strange beast can hurt people, I only heard that this beast eats gold and iron."
Bai Ze listened.
"The first appearance of Zhu Yan is consistent with the records in ancient books." Mu Chen said, frowning, "But the second time he appeared, he only killed people in the Heyang camp and never swallowed gold or iron alive."
"This is really suspicious." Bai Ze said.
"It's a pity that even if the Grand Duke took action, he still let the beast escape." Mu Chen sighed, "The wounds caused by Zhu Yan are difficult to heal. Many soldiers did not receive effective treatment after being injured and died of excessive blood loss."
Bai Ze silently listened to the suppressed and painful wailing in the camp not far away, and sighed in his heart.
This is probably what war is like.
One general succeeds and ten thousand bones wither.
And history will remember those outstanding generals and forget those unknown people who were wrapped in horse leather.
The wind howled, and the two riders left the camp under the pale moonlight and headed straight for the three pines behind the camp.
