Tianmen Mountain.
The continuous green mountains, which are hundreds of miles long, still tower between Qingzhou and Huangzhou. Covered with snow, the scenery is naturally different from when spring first comes in summer!
What's even more different is Tianmen Pass. After repairs, it looks even more majestic. It stands beside the Tianmen Mountain Camp. The Huangzhou Army above holds weapons and watches closely at the pass!
At the Tianmen Mountain Camp, the continuous tents are still there, and countless new refugees in tattered clothes are lining up to enter the camp in a regular manner. They still have to pass the inspection of the Huangzhou Army before they can enter the Huangzhou!
The west wind is still strong!
suddenly.
The guard's eyes brightened as the Heavenly Gate was closed, and he pointed excitedly into the distance: "Come and help me, General... what words are embroidered on that flag?"
"Isn't it a wild word?"
"yes!"
The deputy general said excitedly: "It's Wang Qi!"
"The prince must be back!"
"Hahaha......."
The guard of Tianmen Gate clenched his fists and said with a face full of joy: "Quick... send the order quickly, let everyone dress up and get clean for me, and prepare to welcome the return of the prince!"
"Don't lose the face of the defenders of Tianmen Mountain!"
"yes!"
The deputy general reminded: "General, the prince is already the crown prince of Daxia!"
The guard thought for a moment: "In Huangzhou, maybe the prince would prefer us to call him prince!"
"Tell the soldiers to call you Wangye!"
"If there are changes, someone will tell you!"
"Also, send a message to the nobles in the camp saying that the prince is about to arrive outside the customs and ask them to come out to greet him!"
"yes!"
The messengers at Tianmen Pass left with joy on their faces, shouting wildly along the way: "Brothers, the prince is back!"
"The general has ordered you to polish your armor, polish your swords, wipe your face, put on your clothes, and prepare to welcome the prince!"
"The prince has really arrived?"
"yes!"
The soldiers guarding the gate were overjoyed: "Don't worry, general. We will greet the prince with the most standard military posture and wear the brightest armor. We will never lose the face of our Tianmen Mountain defenders in front of the prince!"
"good!"
The messenger continued to move forward, shouting all the way: "The prince is back!"
"Do you guys know how to do this?"
"Understand!"
The Tianmen Pass defenders all spoke out: "General, please rest assured, we will be in the best spirit to welcome the return of the prince!"
"very good!"
The messengers move on!
at this time.
"Da da da......."
Two messengers with Huangzhou military flags on their backs rushed to the pass and said: "Guardian in the pass, listen, the prince's motorcade will reach the pass in a quarter of an hour. The prince has an order, keep everything simple, don't mobilize troops and mobilize a large number of people!"
"yes!"
The general guarding Tianmen Pass ordered: "I will obey your prince's military orders!"
Sure enough, the prince returned as the prince and still liked to hear them call him prince!
But whether to mobilize troops or not... is no longer a question for him!
Because he no longer has the final say here, the nobles in the Tianmen Mountain Camp have the final say!
Not long after.
"Bang bang bang..."
The Tianmen Pass defenders wore shiny armor and ran out of the gate in neat steps. They stood on both sides in front of the pass in high spirits. Their eyes were widened to their maximum size. Their military postures were tall and straight, and they looked into the distance with extraordinary momentum, waiting for their king to return!
at this time.
Inside Tianmen Mountain Camp!
"Report..."
The messenger from Guan Guan rushed into the commander's tent with the flag on his back, knelt down on one knee, and said with joy on his face: "Your Excellency, the prince's motorcade is approaching the front of Guan Guan, and it will arrive in a quarter of an hour!"
"Finally home!"
Concubine Qin, who was sitting in the middle of the handsome tent, stood up, with an excited look on her beautiful face: "Let's go and welcome your king back!"
"yes!"
The people in the tent accepted the order, and their faces were full of joy!
They followed Concubine Qin out of the commander's tent, and more and more soldiers followed them. They walked out of the camp gate with great momentum and stood at the Tianmen Pass!
now.
the other side.
"Desolate" Wang Qi is slowly approaching Tianmen Pass!
Xia Tian was riding on the horse, looking at the deserted state getting closer and closer, the smile on his face became more and more prosperous!
He's finally home!
Everyone he misses is here!
at this time.
"Da da da......."
Zang Yi rode a war horse and rushed to Xia Tian from the back of the motorcade, and said with a strange expression: "Your Highness, there is a group of uninvited guests coming from behind!"
"who?"
Xia Tian frowned: "You won't be alone with those Wang brothers, right?"
"It's them!"
Zang Yi's expression became even weirder: "They are clamoring to come to Huangzhou as guests, please go and greet them!"
At this time.
"Brother Prince..."
The third prince's cordial voice came from behind: "Brother Prince, we are guests in Huangzhou. Do you welcome us?"
The words fell!
I saw the second prince, the third prince, and the fifth prince rushing forward on war horses, with fawning smiles on their faces, which looked very strange!
Xia Tian couldn't help but smile: "Of course you are welcome!"
“A warm welcome!”
"I welcome all the kings to visit Huangzhou as guests!"
"Hey hey hey..."
The third prince's eyes brightened: "How about... I just say that the prince's younger brother can't bear to leave us!"
"I won the bet!"
"When you get back, send the beauty to me!"
The second prince and the fifth prince smiled and said, "Yes, our third prince is the smartest!"
"We are willing to admit defeat!"
The third prince riding on the horse looked proud: "I am a man who wants to be a saint. Of course I am the smartest man in the world!"
"Brother Prince, do you think so?"
"yes!"
Xia Tian smiled and said: "Of course the three lonely brothers are the smartest people in the world, and they can expect to become saints!"
"Hahaha......"
Xia Tian, the second prince, the third prince, and the fifth prince all laughed at the laughter. The laughter was contagious and made the young men with hidden swords around them raise the corners of their mouths.
After a while, the laughter stopped!
The second prince's face then straightened up: "Brother Prince, don't you ask why we are here?"
"Isn't it because you can't bear to be alone?"
"Is there any other reason?"
"have!"
The second prince looked at Tianmen Pass, which was getting closer and closer, and said, "We want to see what the deserted state that accommodates millions of refugees looks like?"
"We want to see what the barren state that has been trampled by the Sirius for decades looks like now."
"anything else?"
Xia Tian looked at the Third Prince with a half-smile: "Brother Third Prince, Brother Second Prince is not happy to say it, so it's up to you to say it!"
"good!"
The third prince said cheerfully: "We are following you out of the imperial capital!"
"When you left the imperial capital, the streets were packed with people. They all shed tears to see you off. Many beautiful ladies had their eyes swollen from crying. Brother Wang, I was very envious!"
"So Brother Wang wants to come and see the place where you were sanctified!"
"Brothers, you still want to see... what secrets are hidden in your deserted state?"
The fifth prince said: "When you admitted refugees from all over the world into the deserted state, everyone in the world was predicting that as long as half a million refugees flooded in, your poor and barren state would have nothing to eat, it would collapse, and it would be in chaos!"
"But now there are more than one million refugees pouring into Huangzhou, but Huangzhou is still calm, and there is no news of any chaos!"
"This is not normal!"
"So we wanted to see what happened!"
At this time, the third prince looked at Xia Tian meaningfully and asked softly: "Brother Prince, you won't kill all the refugees who entered the deserted state just to get the holy name, right?"
Suddenly, the second prince and the fifth prince all set their sights on Xia Tian!
Otherwise, what's the explanation?
What does the real desert state look like?
