The most important reason why he was so concerned about Qin Heng was that Qin Heng's performance before leaving the capital last time really made him remember it in his heart.
From that day on, he really regarded Qin Heng as his younger brother.
This is often the case with people. No matter how many steamed buns you eat, the only thing you can remember is the steamed bun you ate when you were the hungriest.
"Your Highness, the general plans that we will enter Lishan tomorrow." Long Yi's calm voice sounded in their ears.
The two of them were startled. Qin Heng didn't expect that Long Yi would go into the mountain tomorrow, and he was even more anxious than him.
"Isn't it a little too..." Qin Heng showed a trace of hesitation on his face.
"Does your Highness have anything else to prepare?" Long Yi looked at him with questioning eyes.
"That's not true." Qin Heng shook his head.
"The general has made preparations here. Since there is no problem with His Highness, we might as well set off into the mountains early and try to find the Holy Gu as soon as possible so that we can return to His Majesty."
When Qin Heng heard this, seeing his businesslike appearance, he could only nod his head helplessly: "In that case, let's set off tomorrow."
"Brother Wang, if that's the case, then I'll ask Zhang Yong and the other three to accompany you into the mountain tomorrow." Seeing this, Qin Cheng interjected from the side.
Qin Heng shook his head without hesitation: "Brother Wang, no, the three of them are just injured, so don't go into the mountain again. We people have no problem."
Qin Cheng had already lost two sect attendants for him, how could he have the nerve to let the three of them take risks again.
Moreover, they didn't go very far. In terms of manpower, he felt that they should have enough. At least there were only two grandmasters.
"This..." Qin Cheng hesitated a little. He couldn't let Qin Heng and the others go into the mountain and just do nothing. He still wanted to gain favor in front of his father.
But then he thought about it, he might as well not go. If something happened to these three sect attendants again, it would be really unbearable for him.
After thinking about this, he reluctantly nodded: "Okay, in this case, you should be careful. Brother Wang is waiting for news of your triumphant return in the palace."
"Don't worry, Brother Wang."
The few people chatted for a while and then dispersed one after another.
However, just as Zhang Long pushed Qin Heng back into the house, there was a knock on the door.
"Your Highness, are you asleep?"
Qin Heng rolled his eyes, that voice was that of Long Yi. They had just separated, how could they sleep.
"Not yet, Commander Long, please come in."
squeak
As soon as he finished speaking, Long Yi walked in with a carved wooden box.
Qin Heng glanced at the box in confusion.
What's this?
Want to give a gift?
"Your Highness, your Majesty asked the general to give this to you." Long Yi held up the box and presented it with both hands.
"My father gave it to me." Qin Heng was slightly surprised and looked at the box curiously.
He motioned to Zhang Long to take the box.
Zhang Long stepped forward to take it and then handed it over.
Qin Heng reached out and opened it, and a golden piece of clothing-like thing lay inside.
"This is soft gold silk armor. It was worn by His Majesty when he was young. It has certain protective capabilities."
Qin Heng was stunned. The soft gold silk armor was still worn by his father.
He picked up the soft armor curiously. It was as light as thin clothing and full of texture.
Opening his hands, a golden dress came into view, which looked like it was woven from gold threads.
"Your Highness can wear this when he goes into the mountains tomorrow."
Long Yi's voice sounded in his ears.
Qin Heng put down the gold silk armor and nodded slightly: "I understand, I have Lao Long to lead you."
"Your Highness, you're welcome. The general is just following orders." Long Yi bent over and said with a humble expression.
"By the way, I just want to ask Commander Long about something. Why haven't we seen the thirty dragon guards yet?" Qin Heng asked.
He was about to enter the mountain tomorrow, but the thirty dragon guards never showed up. He was still very curious about this dragon guard.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, the thirty Dragon Guards will meet us outside the city tomorrow and go into the mountains together."
"Oh, that's it, then I'll be relieved."
Qin Heng actually guessed that it was inconvenient for the Dragon Guard to show up and had been following him secretly.
"It's getting late, Your Highness, please rest early." As soon as Long saw that he was fine, he asked to leave.
"Okay, Commander Long, take a rest early as well."
Long Yi was speechless, bowed his hands, and then retreated.
Seeing Long Yi's leaving figure, Qin Heng narrowed his eyes and shook his head secretly.
I really don't like this temperament.
He picked up the soft gold silk armor again and looked at it carefully.
The soft armor is interlocked with gold wires, making the whole armor slightly larger. According to his current body shape, it looks a bit too big for him.
Qin Heng looked at it carefully, stretched out his hand and pulled it, guessing that the gold wire might not be gold.
Because gold is soft and will be damaged by slight collision, it is not suitable for protection.
And this soft armor feels very textured. Although it is soft, it feels very solid.
It seems that this piece of gold-threaded soft armor must be very precious, otherwise his father would not have let Long Yi give it to him today.
This move is not difficult to understand. If he can't enter Lishan, then there is no need to give him this soft armor.
Early the next morning, at dawn, Qin Heng and others bid farewell to Qin Cheng, fully armed, and headed for Lishan.
All the two hundred Qin Wei troops abandoned their horses and walked on foot, replacing their spears with knives and carrying bows and arrows on their backs. Even Qin Heng did not ride in Wang Qinggai's chariot, but sat on a chair frame and was carried by the clan attendants.
They were fully prepared for this trip to Lishan. They brought a lot of dry food, and each Qin Weijun also brought several water bags.
Everyone walked out of the west gate and walked all the way to the west. Lishan was not far from Ruyang County, only about fifteen miles.
Qin Heng looked around. Along the way, he could see the continuous mountain shadows in the distance, but the thirty dragon guards still did not appear.
This sense of mystery will make you feel full.
Qin Heng glanced at Long Yi in front of him and secretly cursed in his heart.
As the distance got closer, Qin Heng's eyes gradually revealed a shock.
The towering peaks are like a giant dragon winding and circling.
The mountain is covered with dense forests, green and mysterious.
Those tall trees, with their lush branches and leaves, block out the sky and the sun, making it impossible to see the real scenery of Mount Li.
"It's truly spectacular."
Qin Heng muttered to himself.
This sight of plains rising from the ground and huge mountains lying down is simply a visual shock.
Suddenly, Qin Heng's pupils shrank slightly.
He seemed to see a group of figures ahead.
Could it be those thirty dragon guards?
Qin Heng's heart moved.
Sure enough, as the distance shortened, his guess was verified.
The group of people were dressed in tight-fitting samurai uniforms, with swords on their waists, wraps on their backs, and masks on their heads. Only a pair of cold eyes were exposed, making it impossible to peek into their expressions.
At this time, everyone also discovered the existence of that group of people, and there was some restlessness.
Cao Zheng subconsciously stood next to Qin Heng and looked at the group of people warily.
Qin Heng narrowed his eyes. He instinctively felt a threat from this group of people, a threat to his life.
No, to be precise, it was a feeling of suffocation.
"Cao Zheng, what level of martial arts are these people at?"
Qin Heng asked in a low voice.
