The Emperor is Above

Chapter 449 If I don’t kill people now, I won’t be able to lift this knife anymore!

"The Xianyu army is heading south to invade?"

Da Niu's shouting startled Qing Yi, but he was more confused.
"That shouldn't be the case! Xian Yu suffered a disastrous defeat last winter, losing nearly 100,000 troops. Even if they were going to invade this year, they should have chosen autumn when the horses are fat. Why are they invading in large numbers now, in July?"

Subconsciously he looked at Shi Dazhu beside him. This old man had no awareness of being a newly promoted first-class grandmaster at all and also looked surprised.

With full of doubts in his heart, Qing Yi took the letter handed over by Daniu. The information was urgently transmitted from the border town by the knights under Shi Ludan.

"Humph--"

After only a glance, Qing Yi could not help but snorted coldly, "Tens of thousands of Xianyu troops invaded, and the border city guard Bian Rang sent a message to the twelve cities in the northern border, but did not pass on any information to Longcheng. He is really worthy of death.

Fortunately, Da Mao was sent to Shi Ludan last month. It only takes three days for it to fly from the border town to Longcheng Fengtu. This information happened five days ago. "

Damao is the one among the four fat eagles raised by Qingyi. After they finally learned to fly a month ago, Qingyi, Gongsun Wu, Dongmen Hu and Dongmen Bao no longer needed flying eagles.

In the end, in order to improve the timeliness of intelligence transmission, Qing Yi assigned dozens of red chestnut horses and four fat eagles to his command when Shi Ludan requested to divide a batch of exotic horses.

The fat eagles originally lived a comfortable life in the Dragon City Fengtu, and often entered the God's spiritual realm to look for spiritual fruits and spiritual medicines. Of course, they were reluctant to leave here and work hard to transmit information.

For this reason, Qing Yi made a special promise to the fat eagles that since their current advancement speed was too slow, he would collect enough Soul Crystal Pills to make them quickly stronger.

"I heard from my grandfather that the Xianyu tribe's winters have become increasingly cold over the past decade or so. Just half a year after they suffered a major defeat, they marched south again to invade.

They chose July to go south, which can only mean one thing, that is, a major crisis must have occurred in the Xianyu tribe, forcing them to go south at this time."

Shi Dazhu pondered for a moment and said solemnly, "Combined with the previous intelligence, Xianyu King Mo Yan led an elite army to fight against foreign tribes in the north. I'm afraid that the Xianyu tribe may be in a disadvantageous situation.

They had to go south to attack the border towns and seize the northern border. It was more likely that they intended to destroy the Xing State with all their strength, gain a wider strategic depth, seize more food supplies, or even seize warmer pastures. "

"If your analysis is true, Brother Dazhu, then the defender of Biancheng, Bian Rang, deserves to die!" Qing Yi's eyes were stern.
"Whether he is unwilling to serve under my young master, or the ministers in the court have other instructions for him, the border defense line is not only related to his own safety, but also the safety of the entire Xing State."

Shi Dazhu shook his head slightly and said, “It’s a pity that the rangers under Shi Ludan’s command didn’t have a deep understanding of the intelligence sent from the border town, otherwise we would be able to make a judgment on it.

But brother, you are a senior official and a vassal, and you have been granted the title of governor, the axe, and the military command of the twelve cities in the northern border by the monarch. However, Bian Rang does not report the war situation to you. He is indeed no longer suitable to be in charge of the border defense line. "

"Master, Master, after all, the group of knights of Shi Ludan have only been deployed for more than four months, so they can only obtain intelligence through the soldiers in the army.

Since the Xianyu army of tens of thousands of people is heading south to invade, and the master is the king, Xing Hou, who has appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the military forces of the twelve cities in the northern border, are we going to fight next?"

Daniu spoke in a muffled voice, looking at Qing Yi eagerly, with a hint of expectation in his tone.

"Since arriving at Longcheng Fengtu, we have been either repairing houses, digging canals, doing farm work, or building roads in the mountains. If we don't kill people, I feel like we won't be able to lift the knife anymore."

"Daniu, you are such a fool. You don't even know the current military situation in the border city. Most of the twelve city guards are hostile to us. How can you rush to fight?"

Qing Yi couldn't help but laugh and scold Daniu,
"If you want to go to war, you must have at least the right time, right place, and right people, right? When you have nothing to do, follow Uncle Chai and Gongsun Jiazai to learn the art of war. But I also tell you that there will definitely be a war, but you have to wait patiently for when it will happen. Go and call Gongsun Jiazai, San Yisheng and the others, and we should start preparing for war from now on."

"Okay, master, I'll go find Gongsun Jiazai and tell them right away!" Da Niu's eyes widened with excitement and he ran away happily.

"My retainers and private troops have a strong desire to fight, which is itself a representation of a strong army!" Shi Dazhu smiled as he looked at Daniu's receding back.

Qing Yi shook his head solemnly and said, "I hope that in a few days, Shi Ludan will send more detailed information. Now that the border city has been ordered to be under martial law, it is really too difficult to obtain information."

"Brother Yi, Brother Shi Ludan is a newcomer and a ranger after all, so it is really difficult for him to find out more detailed information about the border town.

I think it would be better for me to go to the border town in person. If I ask Bian Rang, he will definitely tell me everything. If the border town defense line encounters a crisis, he can also provide timely support and response. "

Qing Yi felt a little sad when he heard what Shi Dazhu said. After all, Old Man Shi and his family were more attached to the State of Xing. When the border town encountered a crisis, they still chose to leave the Dragon City fiefdom.

However, the next moment, Shi Dazhu looked a little embarrassed, scratched his head and smiled apologetically, "Before in that blessed land, I said I was going to stay in Longcheng Fengtu to help you, brother.

If you are a guest of Dragon City, I wonder if you can tame a Great Wilderness Dragon Vulture as a contracted fierce bird? Of course, I am just asking casually, and it doesn’t matter if it is inappropriate. "

Qing Yi's mood was full of ups and downs at the moment, and he said in great surprise: "How can it be inappropriate? Brother Dazhu, you are now a first-class grandmaster, and concluding a soul contract will be more beneficial to the Great Wilderness Dragon Eagle.

There are now thirty-five adult dragon vultures and thirty-one young dragon vultures in the Dragon City. Let's go to the rooftop of the fortress to gather them.

You can choose any of them, Brother Dazhu. As long as any of them is willing to sign a contract with you, it will be their luck. They may even have a chance to be promoted to a first-class fierce bird."

Just as Qing Yi said, when a first-rank grandmaster signs a soul pact with strange beasts and ferocious birds, it will greatly benefit the strengthening of the spirits and souls of the strange beasts and ferocious birds that sign the pact. The soul pact itself is equal, and there is no such thing as slavery.

When dozens of Great Wild Dragon Vultures on the cliff arrived and learned the good news, they almost started fighting for the qualification to sign the contract.

Fortunately, the authority of the Lord and the newly promoted first-rank Grandmaster prevented these dragon vultures from merely arguing with each other, and eventually a third-rank male dragon vulture became the contracting party of Shi Dazhu.

"Wow—"

Amid the dragon eagle's loud and proud cry, Qing Yi reluctantly bid farewell to Shi Dazhu. Of course, he did not forget to send the dragon eagle and Old Man Shi to deliver a letter to convey news about Shi Dazhu.

When Gongsun Wu, San Yisheng and other retainers arrived, they brought another letter: "My Lord, this is an urgent letter from the officer under the Yangwu City Guard Tian Bin, saying that the border city guard has conveyed military intelligence."

"It seems that Doctor Tian Bin really keeps his word. Tell him that once he learns any information about what happened in the border town, it is best to forward a copy to Longcheng in time."

Qing Yi was very satisfied with what Yangwu City Guard did. However, after opening the letter and reading it for a while, he frowned again: "Bian Rang is such a fool. Does he really think that the victory at Biancheng is his own achievement?"
