man sanctified in death row vest

Chapter 286 Northbound (4500 words)
Before leaving, Zheng Xiu specially made ten chapters with Huo Huo.

For example, his people only listen to his instructions, Feng Bei is in charge of his daily life, he needs to sleep in the same tent with Feng Bei, he has the final say on his diet, and if there is any deviation in his itinerary, Huo Huo doesn't care.

After all ten chapters were finished, Huo Huo was straightforward and nodded in agreement.

Zheng Xiu finally threw out Chapter 11: Even if you forget the first ten chapters, it is justifiable, but Chapter 11 must be remembered and must not be violated.That is, you must never provoke that orange cat, especially the fried fish cake behind it.

Huo Huo didn't understand this, only Dao Chi Wang was a cat lover, that's all.

For the sake of the Red King, the cat won't move if it doesn't move.

But if it really moved, would the kitten still bite?
Huo Huo passed on the Scarlet King's words.Most of the soldiers in the army are straightforward, and they just laughed when they heard the words, and most of them didn't take it to heart.

The orange cat is in the Disaster Prevention Bureau. Although it is named "Cat Pillar", even the emperor doesn't know what is special about the orange cat. Like everyone else, people who have never seen an orange cat with its claws take it for granted that it is nothing more than a cat. It is the evil taste of the Red King. The orange cat sits in the Disaster Prevention Bureau under the name of "Cat Pillar", which is somewhat of a "mascot".

Even if they knew it, they probably wouldn't believe it. In this group of people, the combined combat power of all the people might not be as good as a greedy cat.

Many people know the origin of this cat. It was a poor orange cat that failed to grow into a "soul-guiding lamp" in the era when Ye Weiyang was still alive.If the orange cat's hair turns black, it is a soul lamp, and if it does not turn black, it is a defective product.

The orange cat is still the same orange cat, but Li Daitao has already stiffened, and the stuffing in the buns has been secretly changed.

Disapproving of Huo Huo, the orange cat squatting on Zheng Xiu's shoulder had a harmless and innocent face, tilted its head, and raised the corners of its mouth: "Meow?"

Huo Huo smiled, and stretched out his big rough hand to touch the orange cat's head.

The orange cat first hid in disgust, but didn't completely dodge, and finally watched Huo Huo take his hand away with a cold face.

Feng Bei and Zheng Xiu both heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.

Huo Huo walked back into the army formation, felt the back of his neck get cold, reached out to touch it, nothing happened, and secretly wondered.

Arriving at the city gate, Huo Huo showed the city handbook to the guarding soldiers.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Feng Bei, who never liked to be in contact with others, rarely took the initiative to take a few steps to get close to Yue Linglong who silently followed the team all the way.

"Zheng Xiufa's wife, Fengbei. There is a phoenix that comes to Yi, and there is a north with geese flying from the north to the south."

Strictly speaking, the relationship between Fengbei and Yue Linglong is based on a first-come-first-served basis.

Facing Fengbei's friendliness, Yue Linglong just looked up at Fengbei and nodded, without the slightest anxiety or shame, and didn't even have the self-consciousness of facing the "big woman", and only said three words: "Yue Linglong."

Feng Bei returned to Zheng Xiu's side deflated.

Zheng Xiu was amused, and squeezed Feng Bei's little hand without hesitation: "Look, I've already said it, it's all about political marriage, there's no need for affection."

Feng Bei shook his head with a smile, and after a little bit of deflation, he recovered his mood and didn't mind.

I saw Fengbei turning around after taking a few steps, closing his eyes and listening attentively from time to time.

After a while, Feng Bei whispered to Zheng Xiu's ear, softly blowing hot air: "I think there is something else hidden."

Zheng Xiu's ears were itchy from the blowing, and he returned nine weights and one lightness between his palms, and asked casually, "Are you eavesdropping again?"

"Yeah." Fengbei admitted it generously this time, with a touch of sadness in his tone suddenly: "I heard... the mournful cries in her heart."

Hearing this, Zheng Xiu was astonished, and his movements stopped.

Nimadi, is it so hard to be married to this king?
Zheng Xiu couldn't help thinking of the [Affinity] column on the [Stay Station], and the label was "Disgust".At the end, Zheng Xiu sighed softly: "Sure enough, there is no happiness in an arranged marriage."

The two walked hand in hand, rubbing each other's ears from time to time, they were so kind, they treated other people as if they were air.

Huo Huo, who was walking behind, opened his mouth when he saw this.Glancing at the princess of the Northern Kingdom, and then at the Chi Wang who was flirting with his original wife, he felt that this was not good.

"Do you want to talk to your master?"

Huo Huo secretly poked Qing Shisan's waist: "Ahem, the two countries have diplomatic relations, so we must give the princess some face?"

"Are you going to tell me?"

Qing Shisan gave Huo Huo a blank look, both of them were young, they had stories when they were young, and now they both work as coachmen for the big shots.Such a similar experience made Qing Shisan and Huo Huo get acquainted unconsciously. They had a common language when talking nonsense, secretly thinking that it was hard to find a friend, and it was close in front of them. Between the Shenwu Army and the Red King, Huo Huo and Qing 13 The two are the most congenial.

Looking at each other for a moment, the two understood in their hearts. Looking at each other, Huo Huo sighed: "People are under the eaves."

Qing Shisan grinned: "I have to bow my head!"

The two clapped hands.

Snapped!
"General Huo, I have verified it, it is indeed the Holy Majesty's hand letter."

"Let go!"

In fact, if any of the generals who often appeared in the army were to lead the team this time, the procedures might not need to be so cumbersome.It was because Huo Huo had retired for many years, and now with a group of soldiers, it is normal for the soldiers in charge of duty to be more cautious, who made Huo Huo look unfamiliar.

Not far outside the city, a group of black wind horses snorted restlessly by the side of the road, turning into a jet of white gas in the freezing cold, adding a bit of heat to the weather.Beside the black wind horse team tied to the tree, a dozen barbarians wrapped in fur cloaks and with thick beards sat on the ground. They surrounded them and sat carelessly on the snow, singing loudly in barbarian language in unison. The debauchery made many passing merchants walk away in fear, for fear that the barbarians would become unreasonable and kill randomly.

Among them, an old man who was over sixty years old with gray hair and baldness on the top of his head was particularly eye-catching among a group of strong barbarians.His face was already covered with wrinkles, deep and shallow like a knife carving, Zheng Xiu glanced over, and the first thing he noticed was the foot-long beard on the old man's chin, braided into a few bundles of small braids, and there were strings between the whips Weathered bone ornaments.

Clinking, the bone ornaments on the beard made a crisp sound as the old man got up.The old man walked towards the group of people at a leisurely pace, his frown was relaxed, and he waved to Yue Linglong from a distance: "Oh, princess, you finally come out!"

When the old man approached, Zheng Xiu could see clearly that the bone ornaments on his beard were mostly in the shape of "wolf head" and "moon".Zheng Xiu remembered Yue Linglong's self-introduction, saying that she was a member of the "Moon Clan", and suddenly realized.

"The wolf head and crescent moon should be the totem of their clan."

Yue Linglong stepped forward to help, the old man asked something in a low voice in a barbaric language, Yue Linglong bowed her head in silence for a moment, then shook her head.

"he is?"

Zheng Xiu's attention fell on the old man with braided beard.

Huo Huo saw the doubts written on Zheng Xiu's face, and took the initiative to explain: "His name is Samba, and he is the envoy who is really in charge of negotiating with the Ministry of Rites this time."

Samba?

The corner of Zheng Xiu's mouth twitched, the name...forget it.

After thinking for a while, Zheng Xiu frowned and relaxed, and the changes were extremely fast.No wonder Yue Linglong went to the Red Prince's Mansion every night, and the two countries had already negotiated secretly.

As a princess, Yue Linglong is not an envoy for the negotiations between the two countries, but...a bargaining chip.

In other words, it is a "tool" used to link the relationship between the two countries.

Zheng Xiu inexplicably felt a little uncomfortable, Huo Huo patted Zheng Xiu's back, and said with a smile: "Come on, be content, pick up a lady for nothing, it's not a loss anyway."

The Red King frowned, noncommittal.Huo Huo didn't delve further into this topic.

After the envoy Samba joined the princess, more than a dozen barbarians stood up suddenly, shaking off a snowstorm.

They looked at the Shenwu Army and his party with unkind expressions on their faces, and beast-like vigilance and coldness in their eyes.

"almost."

Huo Huo ordered someone to blow the horn, and the sound of the horn was heard far away, piercing the sky.

After a while, the flag fluttered, and a phalanx of one hundred people galloped towards this side, all riding big and elite war horses, with heavy snow blowing behind them.

rumbling...

The ground was trembling secretly, and the hundred-man phalanx seemed to be charging on the battlefield. Looking from afar, it was terrifying.

Zheng Xiu's expression froze, no wonder Da Weiyang would use the "army formation" to measure the strength and level of thaumaturgy, Zheng Xiu stared at it, and vaguely noticed that when the phalanx charged, an invisible momentum seemed to twist together, Formed as a whole, facing the charging army formation, Zheng Xiu subconsciously felt a sense of powerlessness in an instant.

Call ~
As the hundred-man army charged, the snow cloud in the sky was rushed out of a big hole without a sound.The hundred-man formation was like a sharp knife, soaring to the sky, splitting the clouds in the sky, and a bottomless crack appeared in the clouds visible to the naked eye, and was tearing towards Zheng Xiu's direction rapidly.

Seeing this, Zheng Xiu secretly clicked his tongue.This can no longer be explained simply by "momentum", the only thing that can be explained is "way".The shortcut to get a glimpse of the door is acting. It is absolutely impossible for soldiers who live a boring military life day after day, year after year, and march in formation, that no one will see the relevant door.

In Zheng Xiu's portal map, he had already speculated that "soldiers" and "generals" had a place in it, but he didn't know where it was.

"Appreciate~"

The first person rushed out of the army formation first, and the speed of the hundred-man army formation dropped sharply, and the pace was unified.

The visitor wears a helmet and a tall red tassel, looking handsome and mighty.

"The last general, Shen Shizong, guarded Haoran Pass for 20 years, and met General Huo!"

Shen Shizong dismounted, took off his helmet, and put it squarely in the space between his left hand and armpit, revealing a face of an upright and mature man.He knelt down on one knee and saluted Huo Huo. When he raised his head, his expression of excitement and admiration could not be concealed.

"Is he still your... junior?" Zheng Xiu couldn't help but smile at Huo Huo when he turned his head. He wanted to say "fan", but changed his words.Shen Shizong looked at Huo Huo's expression, as if he was an idiot.

"Don't deal with these vain people!" Huo Huo angrily scolded Shen Shizong: "I have been disarmed and returned to the farmland for many years, and I just took orders in the face of danger! Don't talk nonsense, now it's the Scarlet King who has the final say."

Huo Huo winked at Shen Shizong.

Shen Shizong was taken aback when he heard the words, his eyes turned to Zheng Xiu, his eyes became straight, and he knelt down and forgot.

"Don't be too polite."

As soon as Zheng Xiu's words fell, Shen Shizong's straight eyes trembled, his pupils trembled like an earthquake, tears filled his eyes, and he lost his voice: "Zheng, General Zheng!"

"He is Prince Zheng who is now famous all over the world, King Chi, Zheng Haoran's only son, Zheng Xiu!"

Huo Huo pulled Shen Shizong up to introduce him.

Shen Shizong has been guarding the border for 20 years, and he has long forgotten the changes of the years outside. In the blink of an eye, [-] years have passed.When Zheng Haoran sent his troops to the north, he was still a fledgling soldier, and he worshiped Zheng Haoran extremely.

Now Zheng Xiu is standing there, with handsome features, a resolute face, a smile on his face, friendly and easy-going, but his eyes are full of fierceness and heroism. With just one glance, Shen Shizong seemed to see Zheng Haoran standing 20 years ago in a daze. In front of him, he lost his composure for a moment and uttered nonsense.

"It really looks like that?"

Zheng Xiu touched his face, the face of Zheng Haoran had long been blurred, he only vaguely remembered that his father was tall and mighty, with a bushy beard.

The father often went to the military camp before he was alive, leaving him and his mother at home.

After exchanging pleasantries, Zheng Xiu learned that in addition to Huo Huo's phalanx of [-] people, Shen Shizong also led a phalanx of [-] people, a total of [-] elites, escorting his family, all the way north, across the borders of the northern barbarian countries.

After confirming that there were no more soldiers waiting ahead, Zheng Xiu felt relieved.

200 people, even the elite in the military, can never go to war.

To take down the Northern Man with 200 people is undoubtedly a dream.

But after feeling a little relieved, Zheng Xiu thought about it again, and his heart skipped a beat.

Wait a minute.

Doesn't this mean that if the barbarians enter the border of the northern barbarians, once the barbarians turn their backs and refuse to admit it, wouldn't it be impossible for these 200 people to make waves?

Looking back at Monk, Pei Gaoya, Fengbei, and Qing Shisan, Zheng Xiu secretly wondered if there were fewer people with him on this trip.

It's just that Zheng Xiu also had scruples. At first, he was afraid that something would happen to his family. First, because Ji Hongou's husband was weak and needed someone to take care of him, he asked Ji Hongou to take charge of the brotherhood.As for the Disaster Prevention Bureau, Zheng Xiu also greeted Wei Chen and Yin Qingqing in advance. If there is any change, you can contact Chang Shihui at any time. After some arrangements, Zheng Xiu felt relieved to take Fengbei and others on a long journey, so as not to let the Chiwang Mansion go empty. , leaving opportunities for people to steal their homes.

Taking ten thousand steps back, now that Zheng Xiu has mastered the technique of opening the cracks and walking on the Bund, there is a [Time Demon] station in the imperial city, and Feng Bei and the monk are strangers, although they will inevitably be attacked by the filth in the Bund, but In the event of an emergency, Zheng Xiu can anchor at the [Time Demon] station at any time, and travel thousands of miles in an instant.

Thinking of this, Zheng Xiu looked at the two hundred soldiers full of vigor, and felt relieved.He held the orange cat on his shoulders in his arms. The orange cat showed dissatisfaction at first, meowed what you want to do, and wagged its tail.

Zheng Xiu secretly drew cakes next to Mao Mao's ear: "No matter what, you have to protect our people. If something happens to us, there will be no monk to clean the cat's nest for you, no Feng Bei to make you fried fish cakes, Without Qing Shisan to look after your house, without Pei Gaoya... It seems that there is nothing wrong with him, without this king spanking your ass, think about it, how dark and gloomy your future will be?"

The orange cat heard it, then thought about it, and widened its eyes, which seemed to be the reason.

So the orange cat raised its paws towards Zheng Xiu, with its thumb and food paws curled up, making a "rest assured" paw shape.

The barbarians rode on the black wind horse one after another.

The black wind horse is tall and mighty, with murderous looks in its dark red eyes.The barbarians looked at the horses under the seat of the Shenwu Army. The black wind horse was indeed of high quality, and the horses were so frightened by the neighing that they kicked their hooves uneasily, as if they were suppressed in blood. The barbarians laughed wantonly, and their mouths Speaking words that he didn't understand, his eyes couldn't hide his contempt, as if he had been suffocated for many days, and finally relieved his anger.

"Hehehe."

Huo Huo's eyes turned cold, he chuckled, rubbed his palms together, and muttered, "Is this little savage living a good life?"

At this time, Shen Shizong brought some fine horses to come.

Pei Gaoya, Qing Shisan and Fengbei each chose a horse.

Yue Linglong silently walked towards the laughing barbarian.

"stop."

Zheng Xiu tightened the reins, stepped on the stirrups and turned up, looking at Yue Linglong's thin back, Zheng Xiu suddenly gave a drink.

Yue Linglong looked back calmly, neither happy nor sad.

Although Zheng Xiu didn't call out his name, Yue Linglong knew that this man would only speak to her in such a cold tone.

"Have you forgotten who you belong to now?"

Zheng Xiu signaled Fengbei to be safe with his eyes, and said indifferently to Yue Linglong.

Yue Linglong sighed inwardly, and nodded as if accepting her fate: "It's...husband."

She walked to Zheng Xiu's side, and awkwardly wanted to get on the horse's back, but Zheng Xiu didn't intend to give a hand at all, the horse's buttocks twisted around, almost knocking Yue Linglong down.

The laughing of the barbarians stopped abruptly, their faces darkened, and the joy they had just lost instantly.
