Chapter 16
The spring is beautiful and bright. The wind blows from the undulating mountains, making the whole body feel very comfortable. Chu Jiangmian, wearing a cloak, rode on the horse, lazily following behind the group of people, looking around absent-mindedly.
The day before yesterday, he was ordered to notify his envoy, but did not say that there would be this hunting activity. If he had known that he would return to Zhongyue Mountain again, he might as well wait in Peach Blossom Valley and save himself from running back and forth. When he thought of this, Chu Jiangmian shook the whip in his hand and curled his lips angrily. If those envoys were still following him now, he would definitely be in trouble. The famous playboy's whip in his hand was not a vegetarian. If he didn't show any "monarchy and domineering spirit", how could he deserve this title!
However, compared to her brother's depression, Chu Jiangxue, who was following him closely, seemed very excited. Looking at the scenery of Zhongyue Mountain that was getting closer and closer, she kept asking questions all the way, as if she was a little bird returning to the field, and was constantly excited.
"Brother Jiang Mian, a few days ago, you threw me alone in the city. Did you run to this mountain to play?"
When she asked this, she felt a little aggrieved. Last time, Chu Jiangmian ignored her feelings and sneaked out of the city with the coachman and guards. She went there for several days. She was left alone in the inn alone bored. Although the people in charge of the Luocheng were taken care of in all aspects, she always felt annoyed. However, she got what she wanted now and was so happy that she naturally would not care about those things.
Chu Jiangmian chuckled. This little girl has developed the bad habit of being willful and willful since she was cared for by her mother since childhood, and she has never been able to bear any grievances. She was in Zhao State, but when she arrived in Luocheng, Zhongzhou, thousands of miles away, he had to be cautious and cautious, trying not to let her show up and run around, for fear of accidentally causing some big trouble.
Of course, Chu Jiangmian was never afraid of trouble. What he was worried about was that the relationship between the vassal states in the world was complex, and there were many hostile attitudes towards Zhao. Moreover, the princes raised many dead soldiers, including hidden dragons and creeping tigers, and many extremely powerful figures. It is enough to explain the problem that he was suddenly attacked by people of unknown origin at Zhongyue Mountain Pass. If Jiang Xueer was hurt because of this, he would regret it. However, such worries were not convenient to tell her clearly. How could the innocent and flawless girl be shrouded in the heart of a haze? The spring breeze and tenderness of her grass are her world.
"Actually, there is no special scenery in Zhongyue Mountain, and it is not as fun as our Jiuxing Mountain. This time the royal family organized a hunting process, and it would not be as fun as they imagined... Haha! Xueer, when you return to the north, I will definitely take you to Jiuxing Mountain and teach you how to shoot a few birds with your bow and arrow to play with it."
"Really? I remember what you said, I'm absolutely not allowed to lie to you this time!"
Hearing his brother's promise, Chu Jiangxue widened his eyes in surprise. She stretched out her little finger and signaled that the other party would hook her and not repent!
Chu Jiangmian shook his head helplessly and reached out with a smile. The sunlight shone on Chu Jiangxue's face in men's clothes. His smile was as pure as the clear waves of Luoshui, without any impurities.
The coachman Lao Ji was still driving his carriage, and the guard Zheng Qi was with him. However, the people they needed to protect were not on the carriage. The carriage was loaded with hunting bows, ropes and other messy things. The carriage was not far away from the two figures walking in front of him, and the coachman and the guard were walking silently.
The few people from Zhao State seemed inconspicuous among this large group of people. Compared with the other vassal missions, they would not attract the attention of others at all. The team of nearly 10,000 people was vast, and most of them were more focused on those extraordinary princes and kings, as well as several outstanding young men.
The prince from Wei State, Nangong Qi, is undoubtedly the most eye-catching among these young juniors. This prince who represents the King of Wei to Luocheng was surrounded by soldiers, surrounded by soldiers, and a large number of followers were waiting for the call. Moreover, what is particularly unique is that he has a mighty and powerful tiger back and bear waist. He heard that his bow and horse riding and shooting were very powerful, and even in front of several famous generals of Wei State, it was not inferior. If nothing unexpected happened, he, who had just been appointed as a prince by the King of Wei, would definitely become his future heir.
The strength of Wei State lies in its super powerful iron-armored infantry. Thanks to its unique geographical conditions, the Wei region has abundant mineral and iron resources. Today, it is able to mobilize the whole country to build such a terrifying army, and Wei State is the first to take the lead. This has also brought great deterrence to other vassal states.
If we put aside the strength of the national strength and only talk about the combat effectiveness of the army, the military military soldiers and iron armored army of the Wei State was definitely among the top in the world. In a war that happened a few years ago, even the Western Qin, which was recognized as the world's largest country, was defeated by the Iron Armored Army and had to stop and make good friends with the Wei State. Until today, there has never been any wars again.
With such a background as a backing, Nangong Qi, as the prince of Wei, can be understood as being more proud and arrogant. For example, now, in the protection of a large group of people, he looks around like stars lying on the moon, looking around, looking arrogant, and looking at everyone he looks disapproving.
"The land is surrounded by mountains and rivers. Young Master, I didn't expect that Luocheng, a small place, is a good place!"
The eyes of the guard leader who was following Nangong Qie were flashing. As he walked along, he had already remembered the mountains and rivers and geographical situations of Zhongzhou. At this time, he said to his prince in a low voice, but it had a different meaning.
Nangong Qi snorted softly. He stroked the knife around his waist, and a cold chill flashed in his eyes. It was his first time to come to Luocheng, but he had heard of this center of the world many times from many people.
"The Great Zhou Dynasty is about to perish. At that time, this will be a land without a border. Humph! Luocheng and the entire Zhongzhou, our country of Wei will take it, but it's like taking something out of his pocket! Who dares to compete in the world?"
This arrogant prince did not hide his casual words at all. Moreover, he did not deliberately lower his voice, and those who were close to him could hear it clearly. The guard leader and the followers of the Wei State showed a pride. The prince and the King of Wei both had the same momentum, and their ambitiousness was clearly understood by all the people. This is what the Wei State is proud of.
It is naturally extremely inappropriate to say such words on such occasions. It will inevitably attract others' attention. After all, no matter what, the last emperor of Zhou was still alive. All the princes in the world maintained their superficial surrender. But Nangong said this, and he did not care about anything at all. It is enough to show the rebelliousness of this person.
However, no one heard the person in the walking team came out to criticize him in public. This is a world that speaks based on strength. No matter how dissatisfied or ridiculed you are in your heart, if you are not stronger than the other party's ability, watching coldly is the best choice. What's more, there are not a few people with the same mind. Zhongzhou, the best land in the world, is like a piece of fat, who doesn't want to swallow it into your own stomach?
"Prince is careful! Be careful of people's hearts and ulterior motives... This is not in our country. If it is deliberately spread by people with ulterior motives, then Wei may become the target of public criticism. It is really not worth the loss to take this big ruthless thing in the world!"
The person who frowned and whispered to persuade him was named Shenfu. His identity was the uncle and master of Prince Wei, Nangong Qi, who usually teaches historical books. This person's knowledge is naturally different from the group of martial artists around Prince Wei. He has always taught his nephew that if he wants to accomplish great things, he must hide his strength and wait for the opportunity. Before the most suitable time comes, it is not easy to promote and expose his strength. However, Nangong Qi, who advocates the supremacy of martial arts, often treats his words as indifferent, which makes Shenfu very upset.
"Uncle, don't worry! I have my own sense of responsibility... My uncle is old and should not be overworked. If you feel the hard work, please go to the carriage to rest. You guys, come and serve you quickly!"
Nangong Qi winked at the few confidant warriors behind him. These people understood it and hurried over and took away the uncle half-help and half-dragged. Father Shen sighed, knowing that his nephew was bothering him to nag in his ears. The child had such a temper since he was a child, so he had no way to discipline him, so he had to let him go.
When Shen's father was not around, Nangong Qi suddenly felt much more relaxed. He was not afraid of this old man, but mainly because Shen's father would write down his words and deeds and report them to the Queen of Wei to find out. The queen treated her son very harshly, but he was afraid since childhood.
"Brother Nangong, I searched for a long time but couldn't see you. I didn't expect that I ran to the front of the team. Since the last time I parted, has it been good?"
The mountains were rolling in the distance, and the strange peaks were green. When the group of people was about to reach the entrance to the northern foot of Zhongyue Mountain, someone came from behind with a team of followers. The young figure immediately clasped his fists and greeted Nangong Qie with a smile. Nangong Qie looked sideways and showed a rare smile on his face. Then he nodded and responded.
"So it's Wushuang Young Master! I thought you didn't come to Luocheng. Since you are here, there is a rare opportunity to hunt in Zhongyue Mountain this time. I want to practice archery techniques with you! Haha!"
Among the younger generation today, there are only a handful of people who can be seen by the prince of the Great Wei. Nie Wushuang, the prince of the Western Qin Dynasty, is undoubtedly one of them.
