Chapter 193: Strange Battlefield (8000)
This action, coupled with the words he said, made the whole place fall into a deathly silence.
The eldest prince knew Xu Bai. As long as they were members of the royal family, even those who had not seen Xu Bai in person, knew his appearance through various channels.
So at this moment, the eldest prince already knew who was coming to save him.
Some of the soldiers guarding the border still didn't know, especially the cavalrymen, who didn't know who was coming.
It wasn't until the eldest prince said it that the cavalrymen reacted.
Xu Bai nodded and was about to say a few words to set off the current atmosphere.
After all, according to this rhythm, he should also do something that Prince Xu should do, so he was about to raise his hand and make a basic exercise gesture, but he didn't expect that before he could do it, a uniform sound suddenly came.
"Wow!"
The sound of armor rubbing came, and the cavalrymen present got off their horses in unison, and then actually knelt on one knee, put their hands on their chests, and lowered their heads.
"I'm your humble servant! I'm honored to meet Lord Xu!"
In the wilderness, the voices were unusually uniform, and in this dead silent night, they sounded loud and exciting.
Xu Bai was slightly startled. He had not expected this scene. These cavalrymen in front of him actually showed him such great courtesy. You should know that the great motherland has abandoned many red tapes now, and even when meeting the emperor, there is no need to show such courtesy.
Thinking carefully, it seems reasonable. These people in front of him are subordinates of Lord Shengyou, and he did one thing, which is to rescue Lord Shengyou. It is reasonable for these soldiers to treat him with great courtesy.
But after all, he is Lord Xu, who has come up from the bottom of society. Xu Bai can handle these scenes.
Xu Bai raised his hand, pressed it down lightly, and said calmly: "Get up, everyone. I just happened to be going to the border. I just happened to pass by here and saw you being chased. I just took action."
With this sentence, the cavalrymen stood up one after another. Through the cold armor, you can see that their eyes are full of excitement and respect, and even more grateful.
"Your Highness, the eldest prince, how about we go together?" Xu Bai said with a smile.
Xu Bai looked up to this prince, and even more impressed Xu Bai than the Ninth Princess.
All members of the royal family were crowned kings, but only this eldest prince was not crowned king, but just guarded the border.
You can tell how hard it is to be at the border with just one look.
There has been war for many years here, and there is no prosperity, but only a pile of broken walls and ruins.
As a member of the royal family, and the oldest eldest prince, he did not stay in the prosperous place of the capital, but came here, which is enough to show how the eldest prince really is.
The eldest prince nodded and said, "Your Highness has declared that he has long wanted to meet with Prince Xu. It is my honor to meet you today. Please follow me to the military camp. I believe that my second uncle and sister Chu Yu have been looking forward to your arrival."
No matter what, he is a member of the royal family, so this is very decent and not at all rude.
Xu Bai accepted it happily and waved his hand, meaning that the eldest prince should lead the way.
One of the cavalrymen was ready to give up his horse and let Xu Bai ride, but Xu Bai refused.
Years ago, he also rode a horse when he was traveling, but since he entered the Transcendent Realm and could fly, he no longer rode a horse. Why should he suffer the bumps of the horse when he can fly?
"Please follow me."
The cavalry led by the eldest prince led Xu Bai, and Xu Bai followed in mid-air.
There was no abnormality along the way, and no one came out to stop him, and he arrived at the military camp smoothly.
The Great Chu State set up many military camps and key points at the border, but Xu Bai knew that the place where the eldest prince took him must be the military camp where King Shengyou was.
After walking for nearly half an hour, various tents appeared not far ahead. In this wilderness, it seemed full of vitality. At the highest point, there was a military flag with the word "You" written on it.
The only army that could use the word "You" as a military flag was the Shengyou Army of King Shengyou.
In front of the military camp, several soldiers were on duty. When they saw the cavalry coming, they were nervous and alert at first, but soon they saw who was coming and relaxed.
The eldest prince rode his horse closer and said to the soldiers guarding the door: "Is the prince in the military camp? I want to see him. There is something important."
The soldiers guarding the door nodded quickly and let the hundreds of cavalry in, but they didn't expect that when Xu Bai was about to go in, the soldiers looked at each other and one of them came out.
"This... brother, you can't fly in the military camp, please come down from the sky."
The military camp naturally has its own rules. If you can't fly, you can't fly. No matter how strong you are, you can't violate this rule.
When you go to a place, you must follow the rules of the place, otherwise you will be a person who doesn't know etiquette. Xu Bai understands the ways of the world, so he didn't find it strange. He fell from the sky and walked forward steadily.
After seeing Xu Bai do this, the soldiers did not stop him.
This military camp doesn't look big, but it's where King Shengyou lives, so don't just look at it superficially.
Even if there aren't many soldiers here, we can't take it lightly.
The border is so long, the soldiers have already been divided, so it's reasonable that there aren't too many soldiers.
"Your Highness, it's just ahead." The eldest prince pointed to a tent in the front and said to Xu Bai.
The tent looked ordinary, no different from the surrounding tents, and perfectly integrated into the environment.
After the eldest prince brought Xu Bai to the door, he shouted loudly inside: "Second Uncle, I'm back. This time I went out, I had some special encounters, I need to report to you."
Such a big thing happened, even the prince almost died, of course it needs to be reported to King Shengyou, just after saying this, King Shengyou's voice came from the tent.
"Let the soldiers find a place to rest, you and Xu kid just come in."
King Shengyou is such a master, of course he knew Xu Bai had come.
There was no surprise in his tone.
Reporting such things does not matter how many people there are. The cavalrymen were extremely tired after overcoming all the difficulties along the way, so only the eldest prince was needed.
After receiving the order, the eldest prince asked the cavalrymen to rest first, and walked into the tent with Xu Bai.
After entering, Xu Bai looked around and found that the tent was not as wide as he thought. Various books were placed randomly everywhere, and some places were also placed with scattered maps.
It looked extremely chaotic, which was in line with Xu Bai's guess about this place. King Shengyou was sitting on the main seat in the front, holding a book in his hand and reading it carefully.
On this table, there was an old map.
Next, the eldest prince first told what he had encountered, which was roughly about this ambush. They were indeed tricked.
If Xu Bai hadn't come by chance, the eldest prince would have been a corpse at this moment.
After listening to this, King Shengyou fell silent. After a while, he nodded and said, "Do a good job in providing relief and don't let the soldiers feel cold. In addition, this incident was also an oversight. We must learn from it and don't let the same thing happen again."
The eldest prince agreed.
"Go and do it first. As for how to deal with it, I have my own tricks. We must not let Dai Viet get the upper hand, otherwise how can we explain to the dead soldiers?" King Shengyou waved his hand.
After saying this, the eldest prince took his leave without dragging his feet.
Prince Shengyou waited until the eldest prince left before he cast his eyes on Xu Bai, saying jokingly, "Are you disappointed that you didn't see Chuyu?"
Xu Bai smiled and shook his head, saying, "That's not the case. I came here mainly to see the prince. After all, I promised it in person when I was in the capital, and I can't break my promise."
Prince Shengyou was happy, put the book in his hand aside, and even added a bookmark so that he would not forget how many pages he had read.
After doing this, he smiled and raised his head, "Since you are here, let's find a place to rest first. You are tired from the journey, so you should rest up first, so that you can take you to see the scenery of the border."
"Chuyu should be back soon. After you come back, you two should get closer to each other. After all, you are both master and apprentice."
Xu Bai listened to the first half of the sentence, but he always felt that the second half was a bit inappropriate.
What does getting close mean?
Why does it feel like Prince Shengyou is selling his daughter?
However, King Shengyou did not give him a chance to think. He gave an order outside, and soon two soldiers in armor came in and respectfully took Xu Bai out of the tent.
Now is not the time to talk. Chu Yu will be back soon anyway, and he doesn't want to waste time, so he follows behind him with peace of mind.
The two soldiers received the order, took Xu Bai away from here, and found a more ordinary tent.
The two soldiers naturally knew Xu Bai's identity, because when Xu Bai was taken away, King Shengyou said the three words "Prince Xu".
In this day and age, he is both a prince and a surname Xu, so his identity can be seen.
The two soldiers did not neglect at all. After taking Xu Bai to the location, they did not go in, and said goodbye and left directly.
Xu Bai pushed open the curtain of the tent and saw the same furnishings inside. He knew that the tents in the military camp should all be some standard equipment.
In addition to being clean, much neater than King Shengyou, it looks no different from ordinary ones.
This is the border, not a place for enjoyment, so it is normal that there is no particular attention to the furnishings.
After the two soldiers said goodbye and left, Xu Bai found a chair and sat down comfortably, leaning back on the chair, and raised his feet and put them on the table in front of him.
This place is very touching, making people feel that this is not a border, but a good place to shed blood.
In fact, it is not wrong to say this, it is indeed a good place to shed blood, and the border is indeed a place that men yearn for.
"I always feel that there is no reason to speak. Let's talk about it tomorrow. Can I find a corresponding excuse?" Xu Bai thought to himself.
Of course, he did not forget that the main purpose of this trip was actually the so-called progress bar.
But it's just the beginning of the meeting. It's not good to say it directly, so Xu Bai will be patient for the time being and wait for a chance to talk about it later.
Thinking of this, Xu Bai sighed.
It's been such a long time, and it's the first time to come to the border, and he came here as a prince, which makes him feel novel, but this novelty will not last for more than a day or two, because people will always get tired of it.
Even if you face a stunning beauty every day and study every part of this stunning beauty's body thoroughly, you will get tired of it one day.
Isn't there a saying that goes, a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a secret lover. It's the truth, so for men, many things will get boring after a long time. .
Xu Bai did not look for trouble anymore, and continued to lie on the chair and close his eyes to take a nap. When Xu Bai arrived, a war had just ended in a battlefield far away from Xu Bai.
Chu Yu, wearing armor, ordered his men to clean up the battlefield.
A battle took place here not long ago. Although the number of people was small, there were already thousands of people on both sides.
There were only a few hundred soldiers and horses on the scene, led by Chu Yu with great effort. These were also elites who had followed Chu Yu and fought many battles.
Since returning to the military camp, Chu Yu has skillfully applied what he had learned from Xu Bai in the battle. In various frictions of all sizes, he has been using various tricks.
It is precisely because of her various performances during this period, coupled with the killing of the ninth prince of the Great Yue Kingdom, that Chu Yu is now considered a top figure in the entire border.
In addition, she is the precious daughter of King Shengyou. In front of the generals at the border, she is truly loved by thousands of people.
King Shengyou is the leader of the entire Shengyou Army, and he has only one daughter, so both the old subordinates and new members of the Shengyou Army care about Chuyu.
This team was formed by Chuyu herself. She studied the art of military formations as a minor, and more importantly, the ancient moon flying swordsmanship, so this team is composed of people from the rivers and lakes, and each of them is a good player.
Although it may be slightly weak on the front battlefield, as a surprise force, Chuyu used this team to do a lot of meritorious things.
At the beginning, the people of this team were summoned by Chuyu. To be honest, they were still a little uncomfortable.
A little girl, even if she is the beloved daughter of King Shengyou, they are just pretending to obey.
After all, the people from the rivers and lakes of this team came for the name of King Shengyou, but they didn't expect to become Chuyu's subordinates. They would be unhappy anyway, but they didn't show it.
But after such a long time of getting along, this group of people from the rivers and lakes are completely convinced.
Strength is one of them.
Since Chu Yu came back, her strength has improved by leaps and bounds. Combining the ancient Yue Fei sword technique and the secret teachings of the ancient Yue sword school, she has reached the realm of half-step transcendence.
Moreover, Chu Yu is not pedantic in her actions, and sometimes she is even extremely cruel, which forms a strong sense of difference compared to her innocent and simple appearance.
If others may not know, but these people in the martial arts world know that this cruelty was learned from one person.
——Prince Xu.
The Prince Xu who made the whole martial arts world flourish, actually taught Chu Yu?
Scared, scared.
These people in the martial arts world are completely convinced.
The impression of the martial arts world on the Shengyou King is still the scene when the Shengyou King rode on the whole martial arts world, and they are more afraid.
As for Xu Bai, these people in the martial arts world have a little respect.
Why?
The reason is also very simple. This is a person who really climbed up from the bottom, and he relied on his own strength to get to where he is today step by step. Looking at the whole martial arts world, who can get to this point?
So when these conditions came together, this group of people in the martial arts world were completely devoted to Chu Yu.
"General." A woman in simple clothes walked up to Chu Yu and handed a letter to Chu Yu: "The prince has sent a letter, and it says that you need to open it in person."
Chu Yu was directing his men to clean up the battlefield. This assault was very successful. Hundreds of soldiers from the Great Yue Kingdom were killed, and a lot of food and supplies were obtained, which he was preparing to take back.
After hearing this, Chu Yu nodded with a serious face, took the letter in his hand, opened it and glanced at it.
Then, Chu Yu couldn't move his eyes away, staring at the letter tightly, and his serious face finally collapsed.
A smile bloomed on Chu Yu's face, and soon gradually spread. Even from a distance, these people in the martial arts world could feel that Chu Yu was wrapped in a kind of emotion called happiness at this moment.
Since she became a job, these people in the martial arts world have only seen Chu Yu with a stern face, and rarely seen such a little girl's demeanor.
A few people who understood the ways of the world looked at each other and understood what was meant.
"Could it be that person coming over?"
Who?
Who else in the world could make Chu Yu so happy except that person?
Everyone in the martial arts world understood, but they didn't say it out loud.
In this day and age, it's enough to understand, but it's embarrassing to say it out loud.
Some people in the martial arts world were even very excited.
How could they not be excited to see the prince who rose from the grassroots?
Thinking of this, they quickly let go and cleaned up the battlefield.
Chu Yu didn't pay attention to the actions of his subordinates around him, and was immersed in happiness.
The content of this letter was very short, but it revealed an important message.
——Xu Bai is here!
For Chu Yu, there are a lot of news in the world, and many important ones, but the most important one is this news.
"How long has it been since I last saw him?" Chu Yu thought to herself.
It's been a long time since we last parted. Before, her father was going to Beijing, and she wanted to go with him, but she had an important task at that time, so she stayed at the border.
As a result, she missed the chance to see Xu Bai. Now that Xu Bai came, she was as happy as if a honey pot had been overturned.
Chu Yu rode on the horse, urging them to hurry up. She could no longer hold back. Finally, after her men had packed up everything, she headed towards the military camp.
The team quickly started to hurry. Because they were carrying food and grass, the speed was not fast, but for Chu Yu, it was enough.
As they got closer and closer to the military camp, Chu Yu became more and more excited as they crossed the mountains and ridges.
Since it was afternoon when they received the letter, they hurried for a while, and now it was dark.
Chu Yu immediately asked someone to light a torch and continued to move forward under the light of the fire. All the people present were from the martial arts world, and a little night road had no effect on them.
Even if the mountain road was winding, it was as if walking on flat ground.
Chu Yu rode on the horse and roughly calculated that it would take another hour or so to reach the military camp, and she couldn't help but be even happier.
At this moment, they were crossing a forest.
At this moment, the scout who was leading the way suddenly stopped, and then the whole team stopped at the same time.
Chu Yu tightened the reins on the horse and stopped the horse.
After a while, the scout walked to Chu Yu from the front, clasped his fists and bowed, saying: "General, the situation has changed."
Chu Yu was wearing armor, riding on a horse, staring at the front: "What's the matter?"
The scout hurriedly said: "The weirdness seems to come from an abandoned battlefield."
At the border, death is just a trivial matter. There are frictions here all year round, and death often comes.
Some places have become battlefields, and if many people die there, it is very likely that weirdness will occur.
In this regard, whether it is the Great Chu Kingdom or the Great Yue Kingdom, even those barbarians who eat raw meat and drink blood, there is an unspoken rule.
Once you encounter such a battlefield that has become a weird paradise, everyone should stop fighting and get rid of the weirdness first.
After all, the fight between them is between humans, and the weird ones are no longer human, so we can't let the weird ones take advantage.
"Are there many?" Chu Yu asked.
The spy said hurriedly: "Many, at least hundreds of weird ones, and their strength in life was not low, and they are fighting each other."
The weird ones have no consciousness. After all, they are not in the Weird City. Even if they are the same type of weird ones, they will fight each other.
In fact, if these weird ones are found on the battlefield early, everything will be fine. Wait until they finish fighting, and then they will benefit. I am afraid of those who find them late.
"Wait, find a chance to kill them." Chu Yu said.
The spy nodded hurriedly, agreed, and ran to the front again.
The team moved forward again and soon came to a very open space. Chu Yu asked them to stop, and then looked into the distance.
In an open space in the distance, there were hundreds of weird ones fighting each other.
Chu Yu did not ask anyone to go forward, but waited patiently.
A sinister atmosphere loomed ahead, and each of the weird creatures looked extremely terrifying. They had a cold aura that made the living despair.
Death was originally a frightening thing, full of fear and mystery.
What's more, these things that became weird after death made people's hair stand on end.
Chu Yu led people to stand guard on the side, waiting for the most appropriate time.
As time passed, the number of weird creatures was gradually decreasing. They fought each other, and the surviving weird creatures pounced on the weird creatures next to them without hesitation, leaving only killing spreading.
After about half an incense stick of time, the group of weird creatures gradually decreased, and finally only one weird creature survived.
This weird creature was white all over, fat, ragged, and had a dull expression on his face.
Corresponding to the dull expression were the eyes, which were cold and murderous, as if they would attack without mercy as long as they saw a living thing.
The surrounding scenery began to change, gradually changing from normal to distorted. After the air was distorted, eyes appeared in the void. An eye also appeared on the fat and weird body, which looked extremely cold and chilling.
"The sky changed! Let's go!" Chu Yu originally planned to take advantage of the situation, but after seeing this scene, he turned around without hesitation and shouted to his men around him: "Bypass it, go back to the barracks to find a master!"
This was a strange change in the sky. This weird had reached the Transcendent Realm, which was far beyond their ability to deal with. They were all made up of people from the Jianghu. As a strange army, each had their own abilities.
But in the face of such a bright strength, they could not take advantage of it.
Everyone also knew what they had encountered. After hearing Chu Yu's order, they did not hesitate to bypass it and rushed towards the direction of the barracks.
Fortunately, they were very careful at the beginning and were far away from the weird location. They were not discovered, so the weird did not catch up.
Chu Yu accelerated the pace of the march and rushed for nearly half an hour before finally arriving at the barracks.
At this time, the soldiers in the military camp saw her carrying the baggage and food back, and knew that the Princess Chu had won another victory with a smile on her face.
"There is a strange creature in the Transcendent Realm in the south. Send a master there quickly." Chu Yu said the most important thing first without hesitation.
The soldiers who heard the news changed their faces slightly, and they also understood the seriousness of the matter. They ran out quickly, obviously to notify the staff.
Chu Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Since the news has been passed on, masters will definitely be sent there. This strange creature will not live long.
Thinking of this, she asked her men to take away the baggage and food first, and then she rushed to the tent of King Shengyou alone.
But before she got close, she met a general. When the general met Chu Yu, he directly told her where Xu Bai lived. It was obviously told by King Shengyou.
Chu Yu was slightly stunned, and turned around without hesitation and rushed to where Xu Bai was.
Seeing this scene, the general couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Normally, the first thing Chu Yu did when she returned to the military camp was to report to King Shengyou, but now since Xu Bai came, she preferred to find Xu Bai.
"No wonder the prince often talks to himself, saying that women should not be kept when they grow up." The general muttered.
Behind him, there was a cough, and no one knew when King Shengyou appeared.
"Prince." The general was shocked and saluted quickly.
King Shengyou said with a frown: "Don't go out and talk nonsense about what you just said. In addition, there is a strange thing in the Transcendent Realm in the south, you lead a team of soldiers and horses to destroy it."
"Yes!" The general agreed and left in a hurry, not daring to stay here any longer.
The prince is very narrow-minded. He is worried that because of this incident, he will be caught by the prince and trained, which will be more trouble than gain.
After the general left, King Shengyou looked at the direction Chu Yu went and sighed silently.
"I always feel like I gave birth to this daughter in vain, but fortunately, if it's Xu Bai, then it's okay." Shengyou Wang muttered to himself and returned to his tent silently.
At this time, Chu Yu had already found Xu Bai's residence along that road.
She is now a half-step transcendent master, of course she can feel Xu Bai in the tent.
With excitement, Chu Yu walked to the door in a few steps, lifted the curtain, and walked in quickly.
That's why she dared to do this. If someone else was here, if they were not familiar with Xu Bai, they would not dare to be so reckless.
Chu Yu lifted the curtain and just saw Xu Bai lying on the chair and pretending to sleep, and couldn't help but pout.
"Young Master~"
She knew that with Xu Bai's strength, he must have discovered her a long time ago, but now he was pretending to sleep, so she used the name he used before.
This name was used by Chu Yu to conceal her identity when she was studying with Xu Bai.
At this time, when Chu Yu read it out in such a resentful tone, Xu Bai shuddered, quickly recovered from his fake sleep, and smiled bitterly.
"Don't talk to me in this tone, I'm worried that your father will skin me alive."
This is a joke to liven up the atmosphere.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Chu Yu smiled happily, took two steps at a time, ran to Xu Bai, and took out a small notebook from his arms.
This small notebook was wrapped in cloth, and it was obvious that Chu Yu cherished it very much.
"Xu Bai, take a look at some of my recent learning experiences." Chu Yu handed this small notebook to Xu Bai.
Xu Bai took it and felt the residual warmth on it. He couldn't help but feel a little dazed, thinking of the time when he taught Chu Yu.
Now, the identities of the two have changed, but they miss that time.
Xu Bai smiled and opened the small notebook. Looking at the handwriting on it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
"I heard that you killed the eldest prince?"
Chu Yu rolled his eyes and said, "Can what happened on the battlefield be called killing? That's called killing with wisdom."
"I didn't expect that you've become so cunning after not seeing each other for so long." Xu Bai knocked on Chu Yu's head.
Chu Yu closed her eyes and enjoyed it a little.
She had done this before, but it had been a long time since she last did it.
She thought that this meeting was extremely exciting, but after the initial excitement, it became calm, as if they were supposed to be like this.
As plain as water, but everything was extremely normal.
"Xu Bai, you don't know how boring I am every day after staying here for so long!" Chu Yu pulled Xu Bai's sleeve and began to talk about what she encountered at the border.
There were all kinds of battles, as well as some family matters, including some trivial matters at the border, which were also talked about by Chu Yu in detail.
Chu Yu seemed to have been holding back for a long time, and she kept talking like a river bursting its dam.
Xu Bai didn't feel bored either, and chatted with Chu Yu from time to time, listening with a smile.
The two seemed to have endless things to say, and they talked for half an hour.
It was not until late at night that Chu Yu stopped with a feeling of wanting more.
"There are a lot of game in the barracks. I'll ask the cook to prepare it and order a pot of wine for us to drink." Chu Yu said with bright eyes.
Xu Bai also felt a little hungry, nodded and agreed.
Chu Yu stood up and was about to go out.
But unexpectedly, before she could open the curtain, a noisy sound suddenly came from outside.
