C370 Wait for the Right Time
Out of the inn, the two of them rode their horses together. Seeing that the distance between them and the Chen Mansion was getting closer and closer, Chen Che finally stopped with a reluctant look on his face. He cupped his hands towards Guxing and said. " He would have to rely on his brother to save them. Tonight at midnight, I will order my family to send men of sacrifice to assist you. Remember, after saving them, you just need to head west. Three miles away, there is a City God Temple. I will be waiting for you there. "
After the conversation, the two were about to separate. Suddenly, they heard the sound of horses galloping beside their ears. Then, countless soldiers passed by them. The number of soldiers was no less than one hundred thousand, and they stomped on the ground, causing the ground to shake. Seeing the long dragon approaching at a rapid speed, everyone consciously retreated to one side. They opened up a wide path, and the one hundred thousand soldiers ran all the way. Looking at their hurried expressions, it seemed like something big had happened up ahead. They were waiting for them to deal with it.
"This old uncle, I don't know what happened. . . Why did the Imperial Court send so many elite soldiers all of a sudden? Was there a war going on somewhere?" Chen Che, as the young master of Chen family, asked. With just a glance, he could tell that these hundred thousand soldiers were not ordinary soldiers. They were the elite troops under Ji Kang, the Great General of Zhenyuan. If one were to say that Ji Kang had always managed the army well, Only the soldiers he brought with him gave off a murderous aura. Although the army of 100,000 was in a hurry, However, their formation was not the slightest bit disordered. One look and one could tell that they were well-trained.
The old man was not a native of Bianjing. He did not know that this young master in front of him was the young master of Chen family, who had the highest authority in the region. However, it was rare to see such a polite young man talking to him. He couldn't help but have a favorable impression of this young man. He said truthfully, " This little old man is not very clear about it either. It was just that he heard that the Barbarian Tribe in the Northern Wasteland had started to invade again, and it seemed to have become even more rampant. Even the usually brave Chu Army had suffered heavy losses. Emperor Chu had no choice but to seek help from the Six Nations. I think they must have received the order of the Emperor to rush to the battlefield. After all, defending against the Barbarian Tribe is an urgent matter. That's why they are in such a rush. "
"So that's the reason. " Chen Che suddenly realized that he had heard about this matter a few days ago. He was busy with his journey at that time and did not take it to heart. After thanking the old man, Chen Che turned his head to look at Guxing, only to find that Guxing was in a trance. He immediately called out softly. "Morh?"
"Ah? "Guxing suddenly woke up and looked at the latter with some doubt. Chen Che saw that there was something wrong with him, so he asked with concern. " Are you alright? Why are you still in a daze all of a sudden?"
" Oh, I'm fine. When he heard the old uncle talk about the Chu Kingdom just now, he suddenly thought of some old friends in the Chu Kingdom. "After I left the Chu Kingdom, some people and things in the Chu Kingdom seemed to have faded in Guxing's mind. It was only when I accidentally heard someone mention it today that Guxing's longing for his old friends surged out like a tidal wave.
"Bao, Mr Qian, and the brothers from the Yeh family, are you all alright? "Guxing said a few names softly. His thoughts were flying all over the place. Of course, he wanted to forget them the most. Every time he dreamt of someone else at midnight.
" Rouer, are you alright? Big Brother really misses you. . . "
When he thought about how Chu Rouer was still waiting for him in the Imperial Palace, Guxing gently sighed. Now it was another troubled period. The border of Chu Kingdom, which had been peaceful for many years, was once again engulfed in smoke. With that girl's timid character, once she heard that there was going to be a war, Now, she must be hiding in her mother's arms, not daring to come out. Recalling Chu Rouer's appearance of sticking close to him all day long, Guxing could not help but laugh softly again. Love was overflowing with words.
"Young Master Chen, I want to know. . . !"
"Wait!" Chen Che interrupted what he wanted to say. He looked at Guxing unhappily. " Morh: We didn't know each other before, so it was understandable for you to call me Young Master Chen. However, based on our current relationship, do you think it's appropriate to call me Young Master Chen? I'm a few years older than you, so if Morh doesn't mind. . . Call me Mr Chen. "
Guxing smiled awkwardly and said. " Alright then, Mr Chen. "
"Haha, that's more like it. "Chen Che suddenly laughed happily. After laughing, he suddenly remembered that Guxing seemed to have something to say that he did not finish. He could not help but ask, " Oh right, brother, what did you want to ask brother just now? Just tell me. I, Chen Che, will tell you everything I know. "
Guxing said. " Oh, it's nothing. I just want to know if big brother knows about the current situation in Chu Kingdom. Can you tell me more about it?"
"Oh, so that's it. Oh. Let me think about it. " Chen Che frowned and sorted out all the information about Chu Kingdom that he had heard about a few days ago. He suddenly sighed and said, "I won't hide it from you, brother. The situation in the Chu Kingdom was not optimistic. It seemed like the Barbarian Tribe was determined to take down One-Line-Sky. This time, it could be said that they had mobilized all of their forces. A million troops were pressing down on the border. The Chu Army was in a precarious situation. "
"A million strong army?" Guxing was shocked and hurriedly asked, "What about Chu Kingdom? How many soldiers does Chu Kingdom have?"
Chen Che said, "Speaking of Chu Kingdom, it is not unreasonable to be called the leader of the seven kingdoms. Although the number of soldiers is not as great as the Barbarian Tribe, it should not be too far away. It's just that I heard that the Barbarian Army launched a surprise attack on the Chu Army a few days ago, causing them to suffer heavy losses. Even Dou Tianlai and old supreme commander Dou, who had always enjoyed the title of War God, suffered heavy injuries in that battle. They had been unconscious ever since. Many days had passed, but no news of his recovery had been heard. It seemed like the odds were against him. * Sigh * The Barbarian Tribe is running amok. It's really worrying. "
"What? old supreme commander Dou is injured?!"
Guxing was deeply shocked for a moment. Dou Tianlai was a man of great fortune. He had fought with the Barbarian Tribe for so many years, but he had not lost a single battle. His cultivation level could be said to be unprecedented. Who in the Barbarian Tribe could hurt him? Of course. . . No matter how hard Guxing thought about it, he would never think that in order to deal with Dou Tianlai alone. . . After listening to Chen Che's words, Although he didn't want to believe it, the signs indicated that. . . All of this was true.
In fact, Guxing was most worried about how Chu Rouer was doing right now. She had always been close to Dou Tianlai, and if she heard this news, she would be extremely sad. When he thought about Chu Rouer crying so hard, Guxing's heart immediately ached.
Then he thought of Chu Feng's dignified face, which was almost cold, and Empress Zhaoyun's calm smile. With the two of them here, Rouer should be fine. Thinking of this, His mood calmed down a little and he tried to shake his head to calm himself down. After bidding farewell to Chen Che, Guxing casually went to an unknown restaurant in the city to settle down. After that, he sat cross-legged on the bed and waited for the right time.
