Chapter 751 Passing by

call……

Blood Moon Yingxiang stared at the words on the intelligence, and the more he read, the more irritating it became.

For a moment, he even forgot to attack the remnants of Kailun who suddenly appeared.

Ren Ning?

It must be Ning Ren.

Blood Moon Yingxiang was a little dazed.

At the beginning, he was full of heroic spirit and led nearly 20,000 grassland men to try to attack the heartland of Yunchui.

However, when crossing the Luoxia Mountains, they were repeatedly ambushed and ultimately suffered a disastrous defeat, and had to hastily retreat to Dingxi County.

What made it even harder for him to let go was that in that battle, a black arrow suddenly shot and killed Roland, the drum-bearing elder who was closest to him.

On that arrow, there was a word clearly engraved - Ning.

"Father." Blood Moon Yingxiang stood up suddenly.

He spoke loudly in front of everyone.

"My son is seriously ill now, and it is not suitable for him to show up on the grassland for a long time. It is better for him to go to Xingji City with the caravan of the tribe. Firstly, it can add more guards to the caravan, and secondly, it can help you find out the truth about Yunchui."

After saying that, he lowered his head and glanced at the information on the table again.

The above description of Emperor Taixi is so horrifying that it is almost unbelievable.

It looks more like a story made up by a storyteller in a street tavern to attract an audience.

Blood Moon Eagle Soaring didn't believe it.

There can't be such a powerful person in the world.

There was silence in the meeting room. Many elders did not believe it, but their eyes flickered when they looked at the young patriarch.

Prairie Eagle

A long time ago, Blood Moon Eagle was given this highly anticipated title.

He was an excellent archer, and could easily catch a flying monkey with his hands or scatter horse hooves.

He was full of vigor and energy, and he could easily make comments on the country and write passionate articles.

Anyone who is familiar with Blood Moon Eagle Flying would give him a thumbs up and exclaim: "What a future leader of the grassland!"

However, it is counterproductive.

As they grow older, everyone gradually realizes that the name Blood Moon Eagle seems to be somewhat unworthy of its name.

For example, in the Luoxia Mountains, he led 15,000 troops but was unable to break through the 3,000 Yunchui defenders;

Another example is when he was besieging Whetstone City, he made all the plans but ended up being surrounded, which ultimately led to the annihilation of the Blood Moon Army...

With such a record, if he was not the clan leader's biological son, he would have been thrown into prison at best, or skinned alive at worst.

Prairie Eagle?

Prairie Flies.

Xueyue Zhiyong, who was at the top, looked around at everyone, taking in their expressions.

However, after hesitating for a moment, he nodded slightly.

"It is said that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. You will shoulder the heavy responsibility of Blood Moon in the future, so you should travel around and gain more knowledge while you are still young."

"After the meeting, go back and prepare. Once the caravan is formed, you will travel east with the team as an escort."

Blood Moon Ying Xiang was overjoyed: "Thank you, father!"

Seeing this, everyone knew that there was no point in saying more, so they had to look away and get back to the topic.

"Chief, how should we deal with the remnants of Kailun?"

Xueyue Zhiyong raised his eyes and glanced at the Desert of No Return on the map.

"How far is the Desert of No Return from my Blood Moon?"

"To the chief, it's about 3,100 miles away. Even the nearest pasture is more than 1,200 miles away."

Xueyue Zhiyong nodded: "It's too far away for us to reach them. If we don't find any mineral veins in the territory, let them live for now."

"The Blood Moon is in turmoil right now. One wrong move could lead to eternal damnation. It is better to take advantage of the internal fight between Angel and the royal court to strengthen ourselves first."

Everyone knew the answer and agreed: "The clan leader is wise."

Blood Moon Yingxiang quickly added.

"Father, uncles, we can temporarily ignore the grassland scum or traitors, but we must not let them go. I suggest sending more scouts to investigate the situation in Kailun Stone Forest to prevent any accidents."

——Who knows whether Yunchui secretly stationed troops there?

After all, that is their queen's hometown.

"Young Patriarch is right." Everyone nodded. Xueyue Zhiyong also showed satisfaction: "Yingxiang, you can arrange this matter."

Boom!

As he was speaking, there was a knock on the door of the conference room.

A guard walked in quickly and handed over a piece of information.

"Chief, there is a message from the eagle in the direction of the royal court."

"Oh?" Xueyue Zhiyong's heart skipped a beat and he quickly started to check, then his face showed joy.

The information was brief, consisting of only a few lines.

"The king was furious and a few days ago sent 20,000 troops eastward."

"Everyone, take a look. The royal court has sent out troops." After saying this, he signaled the guards to circulate the intelligence.

After reading it, the elders had different expressions.

Elder Chai finally got a chance to negotiate with the Yanhui Legion and was about to make his move, but he was unexpectedly intercepted by Blood Moon Eagle Soaring. Now he was filled with resentment but had no place to vent it.

Humph.

He snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "Only 20,000 people? This is too few. Even the Yanhui Army to our east has 30,000 people!"

The other elders all looked at him sideways, looking at him as if he were a fool.

Can someone with this kind of brain be an elder?

Is it true that there is almost no one left in the Blood Moon?

Someone couldn't help but speak up: "Chief, the news about Huyan Tuochi has only been out for a few days, but the royal court was able to quickly dispatch 20,000 troops. Could it be that the king had planned to attack Angel?"

Xueyue Zhiyong was silent for a long time, his eyes slowly falling on the map.

"The time left for Angel and us...is running out."

----

Yunchui Empire, Dingxi County.

Whetstone castle

Huo Ling stood in front of the county magistrate's mansion, looking at the shabby and low hut in front of him, and remained speechless for a long time.

It has been some time since the Xiliang people were repelled, but Zhu Jialiang has never planned to rebuild the County Governor's Mansion, and his family of four still lives here.

"Is it really General Huo?" Zhu Jialiang, who got the news, hurried over and looked Huo Ling up and down.

His face was filled with disbelief. "I thought the guards had mistaken you for someone else. Please come in quickly!"

Entered the house.

The furnishings in the room were simple, and there was nothing but official documents on the table, with almost no decent furnishings.

Zhu Jialiang was unaware of this. After serving tea, he hesitated and asked, "I wonder what important matter General Huo has come for?"

He was a civil servant, and Huo Ling was a general of the frontier army. In times of war, they should work together, but now in peacetime, if they were caught by the censor, they would inevitably be impeached.

Zhu Jialiang has nothing to fear as he is upright, but there is no need for him to seek trouble.

Haha.

Huo Ling laughed out loud.

"Don't worry, Lord County Magistrate. I am just passing by and stopped by to see an old friend."

Zhu Jialiang felt warm in his heart.

We have fought side by side against the enemy over the years, sharing life and death.

They are more than just friends. They are comrades who live and die together!

But he still had some doubts.

The general guarding the pass has such a special status, how could he just "pass by" for no reason?

Huo Ling saw through his thoughts but kept smiling.

"Qing'er has grown up and wants to go to the border to gain experience. As the New Year is approaching, I will go back to visit my mother."

Zhu Jialiang was even more shocked.

The "Qing'er" that Huo Ling mentioned was none other than Huo Qing, the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo.

Although he is called the crown prince, he is actually a hostage. Without the emperor's order, he can only stay in Xingji City and basically cannot leave.

Can you leave Beijing freely now?

But after thinking about it, he felt relieved again.

Who is sitting on the dragon throne now?

That's Ren Ning.

Even the iron rule of the corps' "three-year defense" can be changed to five years, which shows the trust in the corps.

What does it matter if a mere hostage leaves Beijing?
