Lu Qiyun suddenly saluted. Naturally, it was because he had just said a lot of things. This servant Xia didn't have to tell him. Not only would there be no benefit in saying it, but he would be burdened with a lot of consequences, not to mention that he had killed this person not long ago. The five fingers of a person’s right hand!
But since the other party said it and said it so plainly and thoroughly, it means that he means to patch up the previous grudges and even try to make good friends.
The only possibility for this change to occur is that for this servant Xia, it is far more cost-effective to make friends with him than to become enemies from now on!
However, weighing the pros and cons is easy to say, but it is extremely difficult to actually do it. Regardless of whether the servant Xia was acting out of public or selfish motives, he was able to put aside the hatred of his broken finger so quickly and proactively show his kindness without any grudges. This kind of character and determination sent shivers down Lu Qiyun's spine, and he immediately decided that it was best not to do this. and other characters as enemies.
Seeing Lu Qiyun salute, the servant Xia also stopped.
He did not return the gift, but just looked at each other and smiled at the young Taoist priest who stood up. It seemed that not only had the previous unhappiness disappeared, but they also felt somewhat close to each other.
With this tacit understanding, Lu Qiyun did not say any more affectionate words, and asked directly: "I wonder what your Highness's will is? But if you have an order, Lu is willing to die for it!"
Looking at the thoughtful and ambitious young man in front of him, Waiter Xia couldn't hide his admiration.
It was only at this moment that he confessed to Lu Qiyun: "His Royal Highness has rushed to the Nanhu Forbidden Army camp overnight to order troops. The military attachés and guards in Shaoyang Court have also followed, but the five hundred Snow Chibeast cavalry have no time to take care of them. . In order to avoid suspicion, Marquis Yuan only gave soldiers, but not generals."
"His Highness wants us to come and see how good you are. If you are willing to serve, just put those five hundred riders under control first. You don't ask them to perform extraordinary feats. As long as you stay safe and do not cause chaos, you will be a great contributor." One piece!"
These words were very interesting. Lu Qiyun thought about it and asked in a low voice: "Xia Gong, your highness means...destroying the enemy first, saving people second?"
Hearing this, Chamberlain Xia immediately glanced at him and said with a smile: "Liu Yingwei, you are the newly recruited guest of the Shaoyang Academy. Although you are good at swordsmanship, you are not familiar with military affairs. Unexpectedly, this time you were put on the shelf by His Highness. I feel in my heart." From the very beginning, I made up my mind to hide my clumsiness. Even though I am a little too cautious, no one can fault me, right?"
"As for the rest, His Highness and our family didn't say anything, let alone know anything!"
After hearing this, Lu Qiyun didn't understand anything, and immediately frowned: "Xia Gong, this job is not easy to do! God knows whether Yuan Hou and his wife put anything difficult into those five hundred horses. Although I have the support of His Highness, I may not be able to restrain you at a critical moment!"
Waiter Xia's expression remained unchanged: "This is your own business, Lieutenant Lu Ying! That place in southern Xinjiang is in danger of war. Although you went out with five hundred cavalry, no one expected you to kill them all." Didn’t you bring back all the land?”
Lu Qiyun's eyelids twitched when he heard this, and another chill surged into his heart. However, at this moment, he could no longer flinch.
He immediately took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "With what Mr. Xia said, it's just five hundred horses. If Lu doesn't take it lightly, he will definitely take care of it for His Highness!"...
"Okay! Let me wait and see, old slave! I wonder if after this battle, no one in the world will call you Ronaldinho by mistake!"
While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the gate of Shaoyang Courtyard, where an unusually majestic beast and two attendants holding horses were already waiting there.
The servant Xia took out a letter and a copper seal and handed it to Lu Qiyun: "This is the crown prince's troop deployment order and the seal of the Xuejia camp captain. These two people will take you to Yuan Hou's mansion. The rest It’s all up to you.”
Lu Qiyun nodded, put the seal away solemnly, and then looked at the mount prepared for him by the servant Xia.
It was only then that he realized that this strange beast seemed to be a snow chid beast, even much taller and more powerful than the one that pulled the cart during the day.
The difference is that the scales on this strange beast are not frosty white, but have green scales like jasper. The horns are like black iron with a dark cold light, and the four hooves are like rotten silver. Snow white.
"The Snow Chi Beast can be subdivided into nine grades according to appearance, among which the highest grade
The high-quality ones, including a pair of horns and four hooves, are all frosty white without any variegation, which is called "Zhaoye Qingshuang". "
Seeing the look of surprise and admiration in Lu Qiyun's eyes, Chamberlain Xia chuckled and introduced, "Yours is the opposite. Although it is not among the ninth grade, it is the only one of its kind in the world. It also has a name. , called 'Stepping on the Clouds,' was specially given to you by the Crown Prince."
The implication of this long-bearded chamberlain is that this one is not even ranked in the ninth grade. After all, just looking at the color of the scales, it can no longer be called a snow chibi beast.
"This is the only one in the world!"
Lu Qiyun actually liked it very much, and his eyes seemed to be glued to this Yunqing.
Without looking back, he briefly cupped his hands towards Xia Neishi, and then he couldn't wait to turn over, grabbing the reins with one hand, and gently brushing the green scales on Tayunqing's neck with the other, feeling hard and cold, like iron armor.
Waiter Xia chuckled at the side and said, "In urgent matters, please obey the authority. The Lord of the Kingdom has allowed all the generals and commanders of Shaoyang Academy to leave the palace!"
Lu Qiyun was stunned when he heard this, and looked up into the deep night, with some hesitation on his face.
Seeing this, the waiter Xia added with a smile: "Shaoyang Courtyard and Daming Palace are a few miles away from each other, and there are several palace walls between them. As long as they don't run wildly and shout loudly... it's no problem!"
Lu Qiyun's heart suddenly became hot, and he immediately shook the reins lightly and shouted: "Drive!"
Unexpectedly, Ta Yunqing, who was taller and stronger than an ox or a horse, immediately spread his hooves and ran out like a cloud in the snow.
Lu Qiyun felt the wind whistling in his ears, and he immediately secretly thought that something was wrong, and felt regret in his heart.
Just when he was about to rein in the reins, he suddenly heard the sound of hoofbeats behind him, like a stormy sea, as if there were thousands of snowy beasts rushing forward together!
At the same time, Lu Qiyun's eyes suddenly became chaotic, as if wind and smoke were covering his eyes, and he felt even more confused.
In a daze, he suddenly remembered the sound of hooves behind him and turned around hastily, his eyes suddenly reflected the setting sun like blood.
In the afterglow that was as red as blood, hundreds of snow chi cavalry were following closely behind him!
The flags are flying, the iron clothes are clanging!
Spears and spurges are as prosperous as the forest!
"Commander, look! In front of you is the place where His Highness is ambushed and surrounded!"….
Lu Qiyun's pupils shrank suddenly, and he immediately turned back, and saw thousands of troops fighting in the gradually falling night ahead.
Countless grotesque, furry and horned demons tightly surrounded a large mound, surging like furious waves crashing onto the shore.
The mound was densely packed with the Imperial Zhou Army in bright armor, with large shields erected like iron walls, and countless long spears stabbing downwards like crazy.
Countless monster corpses lay in front of the shield wall, and blood gathered into streams, gurgling down from the mounds.
Every few breaths, a bowstring on the mound would explode like a thunderbolt, and then rain of arrows would rain down from the sky, killing countless demons immediately.
Judging from the scene, although the Great Zhou Forbidden Army was besieged, there were very few casualties. On the contrary, the demon army suffered heavy losses and did not take any advantage.
However, if you defend it for a long time, you will lose it. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the big mound is a desperate place. The number of people surrounded by the imperial army is not worth mentioning compared to the demons. The drinking water, food and arrows they carry are also countless. It definitely won't last.
After seeing the situation clearly, Lu Qiyun felt dazed again for no reason, but he couldn't help but let out a roar: "Xue Chi camp, prepare to charge!"
"No!" A series of echoes echoed through the wilderness.
Hundreds of snowy heavy cavalry began to slowly increase their speed, and the dense iron hooves crashed down slowly and quickly, gradually drowning out the sounds of fighting on the battlefield.
The heaven and the earth seemed to be silent, leaving only the sound of hoofbeats rolling from far to near.
The soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty on the mound followed the sound, and the demons of the Southern Border under the mound turned to look, only to see a heavy armored cavalry sweeping in like a strong wind blowing snow! .
