Half a month later, in the valley of the Immortal Burial Mountains in Youzhou, Wu Beiwang couldn't help but burst into tears as he looked at the scene in front of him. Here were not only his father and the Crown Prince of Jin'an, but also young men undergoing hard training and many weird things he couldn't understand. object.
Everything was like a dream. He pinched himself hard, and the severe pain made him really feel that this was real.
A few days ago, he led his people to Youzhou. After entering Youguan City, he rested for a day. While he was still thinking about how to find the crown prince, someone found them.
It was a guy who looked like a restaurant owner. He came straight to the point and claimed to be the steward of Jin'an Crown Prince Chu Boping's influence in Youguan City. The purpose of coming here was to take him to see Chu Boping.
Naturally, Wu Beiwang would not believe it easily, but when the man took out a simple jade pendant, he believed it because it was the personal belonging of his father Wu Huaiqing.
The steward asked him to go see Chu Boping alone. At this moment, he was completely convinced that the steward was the prince's person, and without doubting his presence, he left the team alone and left. After wandering for several days, he finally arrived in the valley of the Immortal Burial Mountain Range.
At this time, there were two people standing behind Chu Boping. An old man with a bright spirit was his father Wu Huaiqing. Eight years later, Wu Huailiu had not changed much and did not look older. It seemed that working with the prince was not the same. Not very tiring.
The other man was a middle-aged man who looked approachable. Wu Beiwang did not know this man. His temperament was exactly the same as that of the steward who found him in Youguan City. To Wu Beiwang's surprise, he was also a master.
The hideous scars on His Royal Highness's face made Wu Beiwang feel sad. It must have been extremely dangerous for the Crown Prince to escape death back then.
"The last general Wu Beiwang pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Wu Beiwang knelt on one knee and gave a military general's salute to Uncle Chu.
"Beiwang, there's no need to be polite. Jin'an is no longer here, and you and I are just people who have perished." Chu Boping hurriedly stepped forward to help Wu Beiwang up.
"His Royal Highness, as long as His Highness is in Jin'an, there is always hope of restoring the country!" Wu Beiwang was so emotional that his voice was trembling.
"Beiwang, we have been planning here for so many years, naturally for the sake of revenge and restoration of the country. Since you have found this place, we will work together. One day, we will return to Yong'an City in an honorable manner!"
Chu Boping's calm heart was full of pride at this moment. He looked towards the distant Yong'an City, as if that familiar city was right in front of him.
Wu Beiwang knelt on the ground again, making a fist with his left hand and hitting his chest.
"Wu Beiwang is willing to go through fire and water for Jin'an, even to the death, to protect Jin'an forever!"
One sentence contained too many emotions, and the high voice attracted the attention of the children who were still training in the distance.
The children stopped training and looked at Chu Boping and others. The strange weapons in their hands retracted their blades and were held close to their chests.
"Protect Jin'an forever!" The children spontaneously shouted slogans in unison, with perseverance in their childish voices.
When Wu Beiwang saw this scene, tears flowed out of the eyes of this battle-hardened veteran unconsciously.
"Xiao Wang, you haven't improved your skills in eight years. I never saw you cry when you were a child. How can you learn to shed tears at such an old age?"
Wu Huaiqing said with a smile.
"Father, I..." Wu Beiwang didn't know how to answer the question.
"Beiwang, get up quickly. This is our home. We will be good brothers from now on. We don't have to stick to etiquette anymore." Chu Boping helped Wu Beiwang up again.
"You bastards, hurry up and train, don't be lazy." Chu Boping looked at the children and shouted, and the children immediately looked away and continued training.
"For those of you who haven't come yet to introduce me, this is Lu Zhengliang. He turns out to be the boss of Wuweilou in Yong'an City. He is also the secret son of my father who stayed in Yong'an City. You are both at the master level. You can communicate more closely in the future." Uncle Chu Ping introduced Lu Zhengliang to Wu Beiwang, and the two of them bowed.
"Xiao Wang, why did you come to Youzhou?" Wu Huaiqing asked curiously.
"To tell you the truth, our original plan was to provoke Beichu and Taichu into war."
"It's impossible. If there is no huge conflict between Beichu and Taichu, there will never be a large-scale war." Chu Boping touched his chin thoughtfully and then said.
"Yes, we also took risks because we had no way to take revenge." Wu Beiwang smiled helplessly.
"But during this process, someone told me about the crown prince and his father, so we rushed over without stopping."
"Oh? Who is it? Not many people know that we are in Youzhou." Chu Boping was also aroused and asked questions.
"It was His Highness the Second Son who told me the news!"
"Oh? Zhong An, that kid should be in the Xinghe Sect now. How did he get involved with you? Besides, he is using a pseudonym now. How did you know it was him?"
This result was also somewhat beyond Chu Boping's expectations, so he continued to question Wu Beiwang.
"The second son has now changed his name to Gu Xifeng and joined the Galaxy Sect's Seven Killing Battalion. This is a secret organization that specializes in carrying out special tasks of the Galaxy Sect."
"The target of the second son's mission this time should be us, but the second son recognized me and persuaded me to give up my plan and join the prince. I am not obedient." After saying this, Wu Beiwang showed a beautiful smile.
"How is Zhong An?" Wu Beiwang's narration evoked Chu Boping's longing for his brother, with complicated eyes.
"The second son is very good. He has the strength to withstand the advanced stages of Jin Dynasty at the age of ten. His courage and strategy are also excellent. He will be great when he grows up." Wu Beiwang highly praised Gu Xifeng.
"Even if he recognized me, the second son did not reveal his identity to me. If he hadn't given me the news about the prince and changed his name to Gu, I would never have guessed the second son's true identity. The second son's character is far better than that of his peers. .”
"To be precise, Zhong An is only a little over ten years old now. It seems that my little stone has suffered a lot these years." Chu Boping sighed softly.
"Okay, let's get down to business. Beiwang, since you have entered the realm of a master, come and act with us. Your soldiers will be sent to Yan Xingyun first. You won't have any ideas."
"I will all obey the prince's arrangements. Is that boy Yan Xingyun here too? If you have the chance, please sit down and have a drink."
"There will be a chance. Next, we will go on a long journey to hunt ferocious beasts in various places. This is a very important part of my plan."
…
Gu Xifeng and Houhou received a special task.
This mission is very simple to say the least. The content is just two words - killing. If it is more complicated, it means killing many, many people.
Xiaofeng City, Yangliu County, Yingzhou, is an ordinary small city on the east coast of Yingzhou. Because it is far away from the borders of neighboring countries and is not an important port, there are very few troops stationed here. There are only more than 200 city guards to maintain security in the city.
It is such a small town that has experienced drastic changes recently. A group of pirates who came from nowhere actually bypassed Taichu Navy's defense, landed from the northeast of Xiaofeng City, and headed straight for Xiaofeng City.
The city guards had no idea that an enemy would come here and hurriedly fought.
Although more than two hundred soldiers resisted tenaciously, the enemy was outnumbered and bloodthirsty, and the city gates were not closed immediately. The soldiers were quickly slaughtered, and almost no one survived.
After the only resistance force in Xiaofeng City was wiped out, the pirates became more unscrupulous, burning, killing and looting in the city, committing all kinds of evil. The city lord of Xiaofeng City was a scholar, and the city lord's mansion became a key target of the pirates' attacks.
The Lord of the City was brave and led his fellow disciples to rise up to resist. However, their fighting power was limited and they were no match for them. All the fellow disciples were killed and he himself was captured.
The Lord of the City was a man of letters. After being captured, he cursed the pirate leader regardless of his life or death. He was worthy of being a City Lord. His curse words were brilliant and made the pirate leader furious.
The leader of the pirates wanted to use the identity of the city lord to coax the people in the city to hand over their belongings. He was so angry that he could not control so much, and chopped the city lord to the ground with a knife.
The head of the city lord was hung on the tower of Xiaofeng City together with the commander of the city guards.
The female family members of the city lord's palace who were lucky enough to see the city lord killed committed suicide, but those who were unlucky and did not have time to commit suicide were ravaged by pirates. Life was worse than death, and it was impossible to escape death in the end.
The pirates went from house to house in Xiaofeng City to search for property. If they resisted at all, they would be killed. If the women in the family were found to be attractive, they would be raped by the pirates. If they were lucky, they would survive. If they were not lucky, even their lives would be in question. .
For two hours, Xiaofeng City was like a hell on earth. Nearly half of the people in the city were brutally killed. Just as the pirates loaded the city's wealth into carriages and prepared to run away, they discovered a terrible fact. Xiaofeng City has been surrounded.
What the pirates didn't know was that the ships they left behind had been sunk, and the remaining pirates had been wiped out. They were trapped in Xiaofeng City, and their demise was only a matter of time.
This group of pirates was very brave, and they concentrated their efforts to break out of the city. However, they were defeated by the Taichu Army that besieged the city, and returned to Xiaofeng City in dejection, leaving behind hundreds of corpses.
After returning to the city, there were about a thousand pirates in the city. The leader of the pirates was very cunning and threatened the people in the city, so that the besieging Taichu army did not dare to act rashly. The two sides were in a stalemate for several days.
At this time, Gu Xifeng and Hou Hou were outside Xiaofeng City, temporarily joining the team that was about to attack the city and suppress the bandits.
This team is composed of city guards and Taichu Navy from many surrounding cities. They are extra soldiers based on sufficient siege of the city. The number has reached 5,000. The leader is a deputy general of Taichu Navy named Li Jihai.
Gu Xifeng and Hou Hou stared at the two formidable heads on top of the city tower, and remembered the information about the city from the Seven Killing Battalion. They clenched their little hands and gritted their teeth, wishing they could rush into the city immediately and kill all the thieves.
Li Jihai came to the two of them and looked at them with contempt.
"Since the two high disciples of the Galaxy Sect were sent to support us, they must have unusual means. Do you have any strategies to defeat the enemy in the current situation?"
Li Jihai's tone was also ridiculing. In his opinion, what use could two teenagers have? They might even wet the bed.
"Sir, we don't have any strategy to defeat the enemy, but we do have a way to enter the city. I wonder if you would be willing to try it?" Gu Xifeng said without being humble or arrogant.
"How to enter the city?" Li Jihai asked doubtfully.
"Open the city gate!" Gu Xifeng answered seriously.
"With the current situation, little brother, please don't make fun of me. If I could open this city gate at my request, these thieves would have reported to the Palace of the King of Hell long ago." Li Jihai was a little annoyed, and as he spoke, he turned around and left.
"Of course I'm not joking. When I said open the city gate, we two should open it. Your Excellency only needs to mobilize enough troops to enter the city and defeat the enemy."
"Is this true?" Li Jihai was puzzled with a hint of hope.
"Seriously!" Gu Xifeng said firmly.
"When will we leave?"
"There are three ugly moments tonight!"
"Okay, if you two can really do it, you will be credited with killing the bandits this time, and the matter is settled." Li Jihai no longer looked contemptuous at this time, and said to Gu Xifeng and Gu Xifeng.
Li Jihai immediately left to mobilize his troops. He only needed to cooperate with the two men outside the city. If they failed, he could withdraw his troops at any time without any actual losses, so he was naturally willing to give it a try.
"Xifeng, our mission is just to kill the pirates, why are we still meddling in this business? Look at the face of Vice Admiral Li just now. If you don't beat him up, it will be easier for him." The monkey was filled with indignation and wanted to teach Li Jihai a lesson now.
"How to kill the pirates if we can't attack the city? Besides, I'm not helping him. I just think that the people in the city are miserable enough. I don't know how many people will be killed in one day in the hands of the pirates. The sooner we kill the pirates, The more innocent people can be saved," Gu Xifeng said sadly.
"That's right, the world is constantly in war and the people are suffering too much. When will the world be peaceful?"
"The prerequisite for peace in the world is that someone can unify the world, but in the process of unifying the world, how many people will die, and how many people will be displaced and displaced."
"Yes, why don't you take me to conquer the world? I think Xifeng, if you become a king, you will definitely be a wise king."
"Stop talking nonsense, take a rest and enter the city at night." Gu Xifeng patted the monkey lightly and walked straight towards the camp.
At three o'clock in the night, when the pirates in Xiaofeng City were feeling sleepy, two figures climbed up the city wall at an extremely fast speed. After climbing the city wall, they killed all the patrolling pirates nearby.
Before the other pirates found out, the two of them got off the city wall and headed straight for the city gate. There were dozens of pirates guarding the gate. The two looked at each other and charged up their strength at the same time, launching Hundred Flowers Kill.
In an instant, there were only corpses left at the city gate. The two opened the city gate without stopping, and a firework shot straight into the sky.
After completing the task of opening the door, the two wandered around the city, ruthlessly killing the pirates. Soon, Li Jihai also led his troops to attack the city.
The pirates in the city were like turtles in a urn, just waiting to be slaughtered.
An hour later, most of the pirates in the city were killed, and only thirty-four of them, including the leader, were captured and prepared to be taken to the capital to be dealt with by Emperor Taichu himself.
That night, Gu Xifeng and Monkey were covered in blood, like Shura. Gu Xifeng killed a total of 121 people, and Monkey killed 103 people, exceeding the task limit.
Afterwards, the monkey vomited for a long time and even vomited out the bile. After all, this was the first time he killed someone, and he killed so many people. Gu Xifeng felt much better and did not vomit, but when he thought about killing so many lives, Even if he died innocently, his heart still couldn't calm down.
