On the seventh day, Bai Ze received another reply and knew that the time had come. Over in Haojing, Xue Xing has made arrangements.
On this day, the sky was gloomy, and it looked like another snowfall in the dead of winter was about to fall. In the evening, the soft snow is like grains of white salt, falling from the deep clouds in the sky by the goddess, covering the entire Mangshan Mountains.
The sky and the earth are blurred, and the cold wind blows the snow. Bai Ze returned to the camp early, drank a bowl of strong wine at the camp gate to warm up, sat on the horse, the cold wind hit him, the horse neighed and shook its head, he breathed a long sigh of relief, but he didn't realize that he was broad-minded, and he couldn't help it on a whim. Heng Jian wrote a poem: "The jade dragon returns to dust and the horse is afraid of the winter. The cold wine warms it and it lies in the north wind. The black forest in the north of the mountain covers the decaying moon, and the lone wolf howls and extinguishes the village lights. The shoulders carry the year and return, and the snow falls on the mountains and rivers and silences the sound. .Thousands of miles of clouds are traveled with the heart in mind, and a river of fire promises to reach the top!"
"Hahaha, the eldest young master has great cultivation, but he is also so talented!" The noble prince who returned with him applauded and said with a smile: "In my opinion, those famous swordsmen in the north are nothing more than this. Compared with the eldest young master, Get up, I’m afraid you’ll be so embarrassed that you can’t even lift your head!”
"Alas, Brother Zhang's situation has become too small." Another smiled and said,
"In my opinion, Brother Baize's demeanor is like that of a swordsman! I heard that the current swordsman Li Muzhi is known as the Three Masters of Poetry, Wine, and Swordsmanship. How can I, Brother Baize, be inferior to Li Muzhi?"
"Don't make fun of me," Bai Ze said with a smile.
"How can I compare with the Sword Immortal?"
"No, no." The noble man said,
"The eldest son's sentence, 'Thousands of miles of clouds are made with my heart, and a river of fire promises to climb the mountain'. It has an extremely high ambition! Even the great scholars of my dynasty can rarely write such a poem that swallows up mountains and rivers. The eldest son does not need to be modest. With time, , I think the eldest son will surely soar into the sky and become the new swordsman in the world of Kyushu!" Bai Ze smiled.
The name of the Sword Immortal is responsible for the fortune of sword cultivation in the world. In his early years, Bai Ze heard Xie Xuan say that even those famous great sword cultivators who spread the swordsmanship in one area can shoulder the fortune of the sword cultivators in that area.
In other words, for every point of improvement in the swordsmanship of a practicing swordsman, the swordsmanship of a great swordsman can increase by one inch.
Not to mention those sword immortals who are famous all over the world. The Sword Immortal Preaching is even more terrifying. The word "Sword Immortal" itself means that Kyushu Kendo seals the sky.
Sword cultivators in the world who are taught by the Sword Immortal, every time they draw their swords, the luck of the sword will be fed back to the Sword Immortal.
And those Confucian saints are even more outrageous. Back when he was at Jixia Academy, Bai Ze heard his junior master Chu Yang say that the saint's articles contain the true meaning of the great truth, and every time Confucian scholars in the world read, they can become more saintly.
The more profound a Confucian scholar's cultivation is, the stronger his luck in becoming a saint will be through reading. Everyone chatted for a few words and then dispersed.
Bai Ze handed the war horse to the soldiers of the Yulin Army and took it to the stable. On the way back to the camp, he ran into Chang Le and said with a smile, "Princess, you didn't go into the mountain today?"
"I saw that the sky was dark in Changle early in the morning, and I thought it was going to snow, so I took a rest in the camp." Princess Changle said, taking off her armor, wearing an embroidered plum jacket, a long skirt, and a white fox fur robe, which was bright and moving.
"That's fine." Bai Ze smiled and said,
"It's snowy and the road is slippery. Fortunately, I came back early, otherwise the road would be really difficult."
"Chang Le looks at the sky. The clouds are thick. I'm afraid the snow won't stop for a while." Chang Le said,
"If it gets too tight, I'm afraid the road back to Haojing won't be easy."
"Haha, princess, don't worry." Bai Ze said,
"Even if the mountain is covered by heavy snow, it can't block the way back. Besides, after days of hunting, the prey piled up in the camp, which is enough to eat for a long time." The two said a few more words, and Bai Ze said goodbye and left.
Changle held the bronze bird heater and watched Bai Ze's leaving figure, silently. The maid beside her quietly held an umbrella and stood with her master in the wind and snow.
Bai Ze returned to the tent, lit the oil lamp, and sat down at the desk with his sword in hand. He is waiting for someone. I am also waiting for the news that will come out from the mountains.
Bai Ze didn't wait long. Before long, the camp was already in commotion.
"An auspicious beast has appeared in Mang Mountain! It's a snow-white deer!"
"The auspicious beast has appeared! Report to the Nine Kings quickly!!" Tianmu rushed out of Mang Mountain, and the men and horses who hurriedly rushed into the camp shouted loudly,
"The auspicious blessings coming from heaven are great blessings for the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
"The auspicious beast came out of the mountain?!" someone exclaimed,
"Seeing that the national war is getting more and more intense, an auspicious beast appears under my feet, Hao Jing, what a good omen!" There was a lot of noise, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
The news traveled like a strong wind and spread throughout the camp in an instant. When the nine kings heard the sound, they moved out of the camp together with the prince Jiang Yin and the state master Cheng Zizai.
The first person to come back to spread the news was the son of the Minister of Revenue. At this moment, he had already rushed to the Nine Kings' tent and quickly reported the information he knew.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, the Nine Kings, and the Imperial Master!" the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance said loudly,
"An auspicious animal appeared in the Mangshan hunting ground, and it was a white deer!"
"Oh?" Cheng Zizai looked calm and asked, "Have you ever captured the auspicious beast? Did you hurt the auspicious beast?"
"Reporting to the Imperial Master, it was late at that time and it was snowing. The auspicious beast was very fast and was not captured." The son of the Minister of Hubu said,
"But the white deer has been surrounded by our people on the top of a mountain. The subordinates have surrounded the mountain and are lighting bonfires there to trap the white deer on the mountain! Don't worry, Imperial Master, we know the rules and have never harmed the auspicious beast. It’s just that my ability is limited and I really can’t catch it.”
"Since it's getting late, can you see clearly?" Nine Kings asked in a deep voice.
"Report to the Nine Kings, see clearly!" said the son of the Minister of Hubu.
"In that case, what are you waiting for?" Prince Jiang Yin asked anxiously,
"Seeing that the snow has not fallen heavily yet, why not go into the mountain now and capture the auspicious beast!" Xiang Rui came out of the mountain and happened to hit his hand. How could Jiang Yin let it go?
Now that the Great Zhou Dynasty is at war with the Yan State, and auspicious beasts appear in the Haojing realm, doesn't it mean that God has declared that the Great Zhou Dynasty will win this battle?
! If that auspicious beast was captured and presented to his father, who could possibly shake Jiang Yin's position as the crown prince? Jiang Yin looked at the Nine Kings and said, "Uncle Wang?"
"Forget it." The Nine Kings hesitated for a moment and then ordered: "Select a hundred people, prepare torches, and follow the prince into the mountain. I will personally control the battle!" Jiang Yin was overjoyed when he heard this.
The words of the Nine Kings were hidden and not leaked, which meant that they were willing to make wedding clothes for the prince, capture auspicious beasts, and would not compete with him for the credit.
"National Master, you still have to take care of the camp." Nine Kings said.
"Go early and come back early." Cheng Zizai said,
"The appearance of an auspicious beast is a good sign. Whether it can be captured or not depends on God's will."
"The Imperial Master's words are wrong." Jiang Yin laughed and said,
"How can we not grasp the auspiciousness that comes from heaven? Can we still call it auspiciousness if we cannot grasp it?"
"The prince's words make sense." Cheng Zizai smiled and changed his words.
"Then I wish the prince and the nine kings to capture the auspicious beast and return to the camp soon." Jiang Yin laughed and left.
"The prince orders troops, assemble at the camp gate!!" The messengers ran and shouted. In the camp, everyone put on their armor and rushed to the camp gate. The scene was extremely lively for a while.
Bai Ze remained unmoved. When he heard the noisy people outside the camp, he only showed a meaningful smile. The cold wind swept into the tent, and the lights flickered and went out.
"Coming?" Bai Ze said in a deep voice. …
