Chapter 54

Chu Jiangmian, who traveled hundreds of miles day and night, finally set foot on the land of Zhao State. He rarely rested along the way, and most of the time he thought about things silently. Fortunately, Lao Ji drove the carriage quickly and steadily, so he was not too tired.

The injuries on his body were not seriously injured with Jiang Xueer and Qiancheng taking care of him. Although his face looked a little pale due to blood loss, when he saw the familiar Zhao Guoshan River, the light flashing in his eyes still gave everyone great confidence.

The territory of Zhao State was still peaceful and peaceful. The attack of Yan State's army on the northern border did not seem to have affected the lives of ordinary people. In fact, in the subconscious of most people, they believed in a fact extremely firmly. As long as Zhao King Chulie was in Longcheng, Zhao State would be as solid as a rock and no enemy could attack. The king of iron horses and long bows was a towering mountain in everyone's mind. On the day, he retreated and looked down on all sides.

But few people think about the vast ocean, the world is impermanent, and mountains collapse. Once they lose their huge support, what will they do?

"It turns out that the five countries are attacking Zhao... what Nangong Qi said before his death was not a lie."

After thinking about many things, Chu Jiangmian rubbed his forehead with a bitter smile and murmured.

"Brother Jiang Mian, are we going home soon?"

Jiang Xueer, who woke up from her sleepiness, was still a little unconscious. She opened her eyes and looked at Chu Jiangmian who had been sitting next to her, not knowing where she had already arrived.

The wind lifted the curtains and breathed in his chest very comfortably. The sound of horse hooves heard in his ears also seemed particularly crisp. This was the road built by the people of Zhao State, and he didn't feel bumpy when walking on it. Chu Jiangmian nodded and rubbed the girl's messy hair.

"Now we are already on the land of Zhao State, and in more than half a day, we will be able to arrive in Longcheng. Xueer, you are sleeping comfortably. Haha!"

When Chu Jiangxue heard him say this, she seemed to suddenly wake up. She quickly got up, and while tidying up her clothes and hair, she rolled her eyes and said angrily.

"Hate it... Brother Jiang Mian, you are not allowed to mess up other people's image like this in the future!"

"Why, you haven't liked it since you were a child..."

"That's the past! Now I'm grown up. My mother taught me to be a noble princess in the eyes of the people."

"That's it... well. The little yellow-haired girl already knows she's going to be beautiful! Xue'er is a noble princess and doesn't need to dress up deliberately. Haha!"

Chu Jiangmian smiled pampered and rubbed the soft hair again, but it made Jiang Xueer pout again. Just when she was about to get angry again, she suddenly heard a "puff" chuckle. She quickly turned her head and shouted with joy in her eyes.

"Ah... Sister Qiancheng, you're awake! Brother Jiang Mian is bullying me again."

Murong Qiancheng sat up from the other side of the carriage. She didn't know when she fell asleep, nor how many hours she had already slept. It was strange that this sleep was so sweet along the bumpy road. Since the family fled after the family changed and fled, it seemed that she had never slept so peacefully.

She slightly returned to her senses, and nodded to the girl sitting opposite her with a smile. But she might have suddenly touched the gaze that looked at her with a smile. She quickly lowered her head. Only then did she realize that she was wearing a cloak from Chu Jiangmian, but she didn't know when he covered it. When she smelled the masculine breath on it, her heart moved and her face slowly turned red.

Jiang Xueer didn't understand this yet. She consciously stopped disturbing her brother's thoughts. But she sat over and held Qiancheng's hand, and the two began to whisper. The girl had never experienced the sinisterness of the worldly love. She only knew that as long as she returned to Longcheng, there would be nothing scary. She wanted to entertain Murong Qiancheng well, because they had become good sisters along the way.

Chu Jiangmian leaned over and lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out. The speeding carriage crossed the plain, and the red sun rose in the east. The outline of Jiuxing Mountain had appeared in the distance. Two horses had been following the carriage without leaving each other. The two seemingly tireless figures, one is Murong Licheng and the other is Bai Ye. On the back of Licheng's horse, the boy who was rescued by them last night happened to turn around and see him. Chu Jiangmian smiled faintly at him, but the boy's eyes were full of confusion, as if he had not yet understood the identity of their people.

"You are still relaxed? The information brought back by the boy is clearly stated. The army of Qin and Wei has already attacked from two groups, and they will soon attack. If there are additional attacks from the other three directions...will Zhao State be in danger?"

Hearing the whisper behind him, Chu Jiangmian turned around and saw the clear and beautiful eyes full of worry, looking at him.

"Then what... isn't this saying that: soldiers come to block the generals, and water comes to the tub! What's there to be afraid of? The Zhao army is invincible, and it's not something that can be bullied by any cat or dog. You don't understand it even if you say it, so don't worry about these things at girls' homes... Haha!"

"Chu Jiangmian, can you speak well to me? Can you joke about such things? My brother and sister promised to follow you to Zhao State, but they didn't come to die!"

Seeing this guy pretending to be relaxed, Murong Qiancheng suddenly became angry. She didn't know why she was so angry, but she just couldn't help it.

"What do you want me to do? Now I'll kill them all by myself with a sword? I don't have the ability of Lao Ji!"

"I'm sorry you don't have that great ability! Hum... I'll just fight with me and don't bother with you. Anyway, this is the matter of your Zhao State. If you are really attacked by the enemy, you can still laugh!"

Murong Qiancheng stopped talking angrily, not wanting to pay attention to this guy anymore. Although she knew in her heart that Chu Jiangmian might be more anxious than anyone else. But she just couldn't see him always looking relaxed.

Chu Jiangmian reached out and took the blood-stained oil paper package. He had read the military intelligence several times, and there was no need to read it again. He only held the small copper round card in his palm and finally calmed down the smile on his face.

"The State of Zhao has never been afraid of war, and the soldiers of Zhao have never been afraid of sacrifice... but no matter who they are, they have to sacrifice valuable things. The blood of every warrior will not flow in vain. No matter how many enemies there are, the State of Zhao will win! This is my promise to the loyal soul of the warriors."

As he spoke, he solemnly put the small sign in his arms. Remembering and nostalgia is of little use. Only blood debt and blood repayment is the best reward for brave victims.

Murong Qiancheng's heart suddenly thumped again. What she liked to see the most was what he looked like now!

The boy on the back of the horse outside the carriage was pricked up and heard the last sentence the person inside clearly said. His face showed a look of surprise and quietly looked at the back of the horse walking with him. It was this divine boy who was about the same age as him who saved him last night. It was him who used the generous sword in his hand to cut the man in black and the knife who was about to kill him into two sections. The scene he saw at first sight made the young man named Blue Bird unforgettable for his life.

"Who are you... Is it really useful to hand over the information to him?"

The blue bird finally couldn't help but feel curious. He pointed to the carriage and whispered to the savior who was riding on the horse. Murong Licheng, who was carrying a sword behind his back, shook his head and did not answer him directly. He just said, "Since you are going home, just follow us. Don't ask more questions, you will know naturally then."

The blue bird indeed closed its mouth and stopped asking anything. But he believed that the young man in the car who could speak such generous words in person must be a well-known figure.

After that, there was nothing to say. The group of people headed straight towards Longcheng in the face of the wind. However, now, no matter they, or all the people of Zhao, and even the people of the world, could not really be expected that the storm of wind and waves would soon sweep across Longcheng!

If you look at the dozens of vassal kingdoms and thousands of cities today, in terms of influence alone, except for Luocheng, Zhongzhou, where the Zhou royal family is located, the most famous ones are of course the first to be the Feng'an of Qin, Longcheng of Zhao, Guangling of Han, Canghai of Qi, and Daliang of Wei. These five royal cities are collectively known as the "five famous cities" by the people of the world.

Looking at the world, if you want to say it seriously, the one that best reflects the size of national strength is in addition to the strength of the military power, the first thing you need to look at is the prosperity of the royal city. You can know the mountains and rivers by looking at the inside and outside. Just look at the royal city of this country, and you can know a little about one or two. Let’s not talk about the other famous cities for now, just talk about the Zhao Kingdom Long City in front of you.

The neighbors bordering the west and northwest of Zhao are Wei and Yan respectively. In the north and northeast directions, there is a flat horse and a fertile land of hundreds of miles. Outside the important town of Jicheng on the border, the barriers of mountains and rivers are the territory of the Northern Hu people.

The Northern Hu Iron Cavalry is the best in the world! For hundreds of years, they have been almost invincible existences. They are the enemies of the entire Central Plains nation. This barbaric nation occupies the grasslands and deserts. They are ready to go south at any time with covetous eyes. Countless invasions have posed a huge threat to the Great Zhou Dynasty and brought profound disasters to the people of all countries living north of the Yellow River.

If it weren't for the fact that several northern princes led by Zhao had joined forces to firmly protect the defense line in recent years, I wonder how many people would die under their horse's hooves!
