The world's first fairy gate

Chapter 47

It was clear just now that he was still in the king's tent to be assigned under his command, and he looked like he wanted to reward his merits, but after a while, the world changed.

Nie Mingyuan handed over a battle report, and Yun Fang glanced at it hastily, frowning more and more tightly.

The regent followed closely behind, and arrived quickly. He was wearing a battle armor, holding the helmet in his left hand, and said loudly: "Please trouble Xianzu to go with me!"

Yun Fang nodded immediately, the two of them didn't say a word of nonsense, they walked out side by side, they were about to leave for Zhenbei Pass.

Xie Qiuhan followed without hesitation, and followed Yunfang half a step behind, watching them count an elite soldier, and then Yunfang flicked his sleeves, and there was an extra ship in the open space of the battlefield.

The boat was neither big nor small, about five feet wide, just enough to accommodate dozens of elite soldiers and strong generals.

They boarded the boat in an orderly manner without looking sideways. The whole team was silent, only the sound of orderly footsteps.

In an instant, the ship lifted off, became a small point in the sky, and headed west.

The whole process took less than half a stick of incense, which can be called extremely fast.

Xie Qiuhan kept his mouth shut all the time, and followed closely without asking a word. At this time, he and Yunfang were standing on the bow of the boat, weaving through the yellow sky, swallowing a mouthful of the bitter cold wind, and tasted a few traces of gravel mixed with it. The smell of blood.

Only then did he ask, "What's the matter?"

Yun Fang said in a low voice: "The encirclement and suppression of Yulin failed, the vanguard was captured, the left middle army was ambushed and its head and tail were amputated, a hole was opened in the encirclement, and it was scattered by the Yongzhou cavalry who took advantage of the battle, and the army was routed."

Xie Qiuhan frowned: "Didn't you say that you are very sure?"

"There is nothing foolproof in leading troops into battle," the voice of Regent Zhou Hong came from behind, "People say that King Xiao has an extra soldier, numbering in the tens of thousands, with black armor and spears, extremely brave, and everyone is not afraid of death."

He turned his head and looked, he is not afraid of death if he is not afraid of death, benevolence does not lead to soldiers and righteousness is not good, is it possible that soldiers are afraid of death?

Zhou Hong seemed to have seen through his question, and answered sharply: "And he won't die."

Xie Qiuhan was stunned.

Led by Yunfang and the Prince Regent, the team soon arrived at Zhenbei Pass and was taken in by the people from the county government.

At present, the country is divided into Kyushu, the capital of Zhongzhou is the imperial capital, and the remaining Kyushu is divided into various kings. The kings rule several cities, each city has a city master, and the cities are divided into counties and counties.

Zhenbeiguan is located at the junction of Yongzhou and Liangzhou. In the early years, it was set up to resist foreign enemies. Later, the dynasty prospered and all parties surrendered.

Now the person in charge of Zhenbei Pass is a scholar named Xiang Chong.

Zhenbei Pass was attacked by the army, and the unlucky Zhenbei Inspector was shot through by an arrow as soon as he reached the top of the city wall.

Fortunately, he also had a master surnamed Xiang, this master Xiang was unruffled in the face of danger, and he pulled out the firecrackers to block the siege army.

When Zhou Hong came, this tough master still refused to come down from the top of the wall, and was finally carried to the mansion by several soldiers, and two young servants surrounded him with tears in their eyes asking about his problems.

Xiang Shiye waved away a few flies, suppressed his anger and strode towards the mansion, to see which ancestor wanted to show his prestige at this time.

But when he entered the courtyard and saw the armored soldiers neatly lined up on both sides, his heart trembled, and his anger slowly faded, turning into a sense of surprise.

This suspicion reached its peak when the hall door opened and the people on the high seat looked up at him.

"Wang... lord!?"

I bowed down to the master and wanted to make a big gift, but Zhou Hong supported him: "Master Xiang is not afraid in the face of danger, guarding the Zhenbei Pass so that the rebels can't enter the city, it is the king who wants to thank you."

As he spoke, he made a virtual salute to the master.

Master Xiang didn't dare to be a master, and repeatedly avoided giving way in return.

He belongs to Zhou Hong, and he sent the letter to the camp.But he never expected that with Zhou Hongzhi's high position and authority, he would actually go to the front line and come to Zhenbei Pass.

What's more, the capital is thousands of miles away from Yongzhou, and the road is bumpy and not easy to walk. The Zhenbei Pass was attacked only a day ago, how did Zhou Hong come so quickly?

Master Xiang hurriedly ushered Zhou Hong to his seat and ordered him to serve tea.

Since the matter was urgent, Zhou Hong waved his hand to reject this vain gift, and asked directly: "What is the situation of the so-called surprise soldiers in your letter?"

Master Xiang had just received the tea served by the servant, and when he heard him straight to the point, he put the tea down, beckoned the servant over, and whispered a few words.

Seeing Zhou Hong looking at him suspiciously, he comforted his master, "Please rest assured, my lord."

It didn't take long before the sound of bang bang bang and roar came from far and near.

The roar was so eerie that it made the soles of your feet feel cold.

Zhou Hong looked intently, and saw a few stout servants carrying an iron cage that was half the height of a person, shaking a little while walking, which was caused by too much collision force in the cage. A low growl came from inside.

Signal to the master that those people put down the cage.

After the servant put down the cage, he breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not back down. Instead, he stood at the four corners of the cage, holding a large iron plate in each hand, and inserted it into the four corners of the cage, so that the cage was sealed tightly, leaving only the front door. One side was left empty, so a corner of the black cloth floated up, and an unbearable stench came out.

Zhou Hongdao: "Take off the cloth and have a look."

"My lord, this thing is very dirty, I'm afraid it will stain your eyes," Xiang Shiye said.

"Don't talk nonsense." Zhou Hong was born in the battlefield, impatient with the respectful and polite way of their literati, he took a step forward, raised his hand and lifted the black cloth——

Even though Zhou Hong was well-informed, he was a little disgusted by that thing.

The thing is roughly in the shape of a human being. The reason why it is called approximately is because it has a torso and limbs, but the torso is shriveled like a piece of paper. There is a big hole in the abdomen due to injury. There is nothing in it, but it is in sharp contrast to it. In contrast, this thing's limbs are extremely developed, its muscles are bulging, its veins are knotted, and its five fingers are extremely sharp, forming a sharp blue claw.

It was supposed to have facial features, and was also wearing a piece of rag clothes, but it was torn to pieces during the war, and it was described as extremely embarrassing.

Enduring his nausea, Zhou Hong took a step closer and looked at it for a while.

Xiang Shiye turned his head, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, covered his mouth and nose, and said in a low voice: "My lord, this is the so-called surprise soldier, I specially sent an elite team, broke more than half, and caught this thing. It can barely understand human language, but the only response is the word kill. It will bite when it sees a living thing. It is not afraid of death or injury. No method will work. Even if its head is cut off, this thing can be picked up by itself It’s really hard to deal with it when you stand up and fight.”

After hearing what he said, Zhou Hong lowered his head and looked at the thing carefully: Are there any living creatures in this world who are not afraid of death or injury?

At this moment, his eyes met the eyes of the monster—the eyes were red, full of anger and despair.

Zhou Hong's heart moved, and an absurd idea popped up: This is actually a human, right?

At this moment, the monster made a sudden attack and jumped forward, causing the entire cage to shake.

The bystanders exclaimed and wanted to step forward to escort the driver, but Zhou Hong stopped him.

Zhou Hong squatted there quietly, watching the monster roar at him, the sound was like nails scraping on a hard object, it was shrill and hoarse, but it couldn't break free from the shackles of the cage.

"Aren't you afraid of death?" Zhou Hong said to himself, then stretched out his hand, "Come with a knife."

The guard immediately handed him the knife.

The next moment, there was the sound of clanging metal and stones, and Zhou Hong made a bold move, splitting open the iron cage. The monster had been squatting in the cage, and suddenly regained its freedom. The whole was split in two--

There was no blood splatter, and no parts fell out. This thing became the two sides of the character Bei, lost its balance and crawled on the ground, swaying and crawling forward.

It moved very slowly, trying to reach out to grab the other half of its body.

In the whole hall, except for a few people from Master Xiang, who were elite soldiers brought by Zhou Hong, they all stood indifferently, staring helplessly at this thing crawling around on the ground.

Master Xiang didn't expect Zhou Hong to make a sudden move, he felt sick and panicked, and at the same time felt chills on his back, thinking that Zhou Hong deserved to be the leader of the army, he was very bold and ruthless.

He suddenly thought: Zhou Hong was born in the army and has a strong temperament. What will Daming look like now that he has assumed power?

Thinking this way, Zhou Hong looked at the thing condescendingly for a while, and ordered: "Fire attack and water flooding, use it to try."

Master Xiang was disgusted by the thing that had been divided into two halves, and he didn't want to see him come up with other tricks, so he hurriedly said: "I tell you, I have tried natural forces such as water, fire, wind, thunder, etc., not only useless, but also can't touch this thing body, you can save some effort."

"Try everything?"

"I've tried it, I'll try it when I catch it."

Zhou Hong frowned and looked at the things on the ground, waved his hand after a while, and said, "Forget it, take this thing away."

The servant forked the things on the ground under the order into the cage, lifted the cage, and walked back the same way.
