Chapter 65 Iron Cavalry
The sun sets in the west and the sky is filled with sunset.

Outside the south gate of Yujing, hundreds of imperial guards stood solemnly, holding spears in their hands, the tips of their spears and their armor gleaming in the setting sun.

Martial law has been imposed within a two-mile radius.

The people who came to watch the excitement were blocked on both sides of Qinglong Avenue leading to the imperial palace from the south gate.

The people of Yujing City had seen big scenes and were already familiar with this kind of martial law. Instead of being scared away, they moved closer to see the excitement. At least they had something to brag about after dinner.

At the foot of the majestic and wide South City Gate, a group of court officials were wearing either scarlet or purple robes, and there were almost no green robes below the sixth rank.

Chu Zhiyuan was wearing a scarlet robe and standing in the front of the crowd, mixed in with the middle-aged men in scarlet robes and the old men in purple robes. They were the Minister of Rites, the Left Vice Minister, the Right Vice Minister, and the doctors.

He, Yuanwailang, was the lowest-ranking official among this group, while the rest of the errand boys like Gao Lingfeng were not included.

The Minister of Rites, Prince Zhuang, was an old man with a heroic appearance. His square face exuded a majestic aura without anger. He looked calmly at the clean and tidy wide official road, like a statue.

Seeing him like this, other officials naturally followed suit and stood quietly like statues, looking at the distance of the official road.

An old eunuch in a purple robe stood side by side with Prince Zhuang. He was plump and had a kind face, and looked very friendly.

It was Zhou Fu, the senior eunuch who served in the upper study.

Zhou Fu's name sounds like a blessed person, his appearance also suggests a blessed person, and he behaves in a gentle manner. He is an old man in the emperor's private residence and is deeply trusted and respected.

More importantly, he is a grandmaster.

……

Chu Zhiyuan stood motionless in the crowd.

Next to him was the Left Vice Minister, Duke Anguo Xiao Youping.

This made him very uncomfortable, and in his discomfort he focused on his extrasensory perception while thinking at the same time.

Can a eunuch become a grandmaster?

This seems to be mentioned in many grandmaster martial arts notes that one needs to achieve perfection in spirit, energy and vitality before one can be promoted to grandmaster.

Eunuchs are remnants of the human body, how can they become grandmasters?
It seems there are exceptions.

It’s a pity that I haven’t seen Zhou Fu’s martial arts notes. I don’t know what kind of profound truths the eunuch’s unique method of becoming a grand master contains.

His thoughts turned to other things.

This time, the Dazhen delegation consisted of a total of 246 people, of which 180 were Dazhen's Lingshuang Iron Cavalry, and the rest were officials.

The Lingshuang Iron Cavalry is a world-famous cavalry. It originated from the personal guard camp of Taizu, the founder of the Dazhen Dynasty. It established its great reputation with the founding of the country by Taizu.

Later, in the border battles with Dajing, they almost never suffered any losses and remained undefeated.

The Lingshuang Iron Cavalry has always maintained a quota of 1,800 people. They are the elite among the elite in the Dazhen Army. It is said that each of them has innate cultivation.

The reason why the Lingshuang Iron Cavalry is invincible is the Lingshuang battle formation.

This was the military formation that Taizu, the founder of Dazhen, encountered by chance. After the formation was formed, all the cavalrymen were united in mind, fearless, without any distractions, and acted as one.

Eighteen people make a small formation, one hundred and eighty make a large formation, and one thousand and eighty make a super large formation.

Ordinary armies would be almost defeated in the first battle when encountering the Lingshuang Iron Cavalry, and would have no power to resist.

If Dajing had not had the Wind-Chasing Cavalry, it would have been defeated miserably long ago.

The Wind-Chasing Cavalry flourished under the King of England, and was able to stop the Frost-Chasing Cavalry, thus ending the decline in the battle with Dazhen.

Chu Zhiyuan has always been curious about the Lingshuang Iron Cavalry and wanted to see what a battle formation is and whether it is really that mysterious.

He knew about the formation, and was asking Gao Jiong and the other two to practice the formation together with Guo Chi, hoping to form a formation that would allow them to further protect themselves.

……

The leaders of the Dazhen delegation were the third prince of Dazhen, Eagle Prince Cheng Yilong, and Eagle Prince's son Cheng Tianfeng, and the rest were officials from the Ministry of War.

Chu Zhiyuan was very curious about the cultivation level of Cheng Tianfeng and whether he could be sure of winning in a fight with him.

It would be best if I had the chance to see him in action.

Time passed slowly, dusk began to spread, and the sunset was about to set completely behind the mountain.

Chu Zhiyuan glanced into the distance.

A horse rushed over and arrived in the blink of an eye. The horse was a handsome young man wearing cloth armor. He jumped off the horse. The horse was stopped by the imperial guards and he was allowed to run closer.

"Sir Shangshu, the Dazhen envoys are already one mile away."

"Well, let's explore again."

The statue-like Prince Zhuang suddenly moved, turned his head to look at the other officials, and said in a deep voice: "People are coming, cheer up and don't be so depressed!"

Everyone's spirits were lifted.

When Prince Zhuang's eyes swept over Chu Zhiyuan, he paused. Chu Zhiyuan knew it was not his illusion, Prince Zhuang did look at him deeply.

Obviously knows something.

As the knight leaped onto his horse and rode away again, the ground began to shake violently, as if there was an earthquake.

"coming!"

"coming!"

……

A cacophony of voices came out from the ministers' mouths, and they all looked into the distance with wide eyes.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

Why is the ground so noisy at such a long distance?
From what Super Sense saw, the armors of those white-robed knights were all light armors, and the white horses had no armor either. Compared with the Wind-Chasing Cavalry, the armors of these Frost Cavalry were lighter.

The Lingshuang Iron Cavalry is best at sneak attacks and surprise attacks. If they were like this all the time, they would not be able to launch surprise attacks. They could hear the noise from a mile away, and they would have the opportunity to escape and dodge.

The reason why the vibration can be felt from such a distance is that their steps are in sync, achieving resonance, thereby intensifying the vibration of the ground. This is obviously a tactic.

Is this a show of force?
Chu Zhiyuan raised his sword-like eyebrows, as if smiling.

At the same time, he saw the officials of the Dazhen delegation, the middle-aged man in the lead, and the handsome young man beside him.

The middle-aged man has a handsome appearance and a smiling face, as if nothing is a worry and there are solutions to everything. He is an optimist.

The handsome young man next to him had a solemn expression and a steady demeanor, with a cloud of mist shrouding him.

The fog was light black in color, covering him up, and for a moment, he could not be seen clearly.

Chu Zhiyuan was slightly surprised.

Is this a mental method or a treasure?

Next to him was a thin old man. When he concentrated his mind, a towering mountain appeared in front of his eyes, reaching up to the sky. Above the clouds was a dark sky, and above the sky was a sky full of stars.

The stars form all sorts of complex patterns.

The patterns flicker, forming one pattern after another, and these patterns keep changing, revealing infinite mysteries.

Chu Zhiyuan woke up from a trance and found that his hand was on the hilt of the Qingying Sword. The aura of the Qingying Sword was soothing his spirit.

This thin old man is a grandmaster.

It is very likely that he is the Grand Master of Wentianya.

Is it possible that Wen Tianya is truly proficient in stargazing?
He frowned in thought.

“This time it’s really here!”

Chu Zhiyuan looked up.

At the end of the official road in the distance, a group of knights in white clothes and white horses appeared, followed by a group of red-robed officials on horseback, and in the front were several middle-aged and young men in purple robes.

The middle-aged man in purple robe at the front is Eagle Prince Cheng Yilong.

The purple-robed young man following him was his prince Cheng Tianfeng.

Chu Zhiyuan suddenly felt a chill all over his body.

Immediately activate the Tianyuan Jue.

Suddenly, an endless stream of breath descended from the sky, like drinking nectar.

In this situation, he was enveloped by the power of heaven and earth, as if he was in a state of unity between man and nature, and he had become one with heaven and earth, thus being able to isolate himself from the prying eyes of others.

This is a stupid way, but it is an effective way.

Others thought he had a treasure to protect him.

Cheng Tianfeng looked over quickly.

His eyes were calm and powerful, as if he could see through everything, making Chu Zhiyuan even more alert.

Could it be that Cheng Tianfeng has an ability similar to his super sense and can also see through other people's cultivation?
If I have it, why can't others have it? Maybe the adventure is even more outrageous, strange and powerful than my own.

Does Cheng Tianfeng have a secret method or a treasure?
As Cheng Tianfeng approached, Chu Zhiyuan finally saw clearly that there was something strange about the badge on his chest, and that the power came from it.

It was a ring-shaped jade ring, emitting wisps of smoke that enveloped his entire body.

The effect of this light smoke was similar to the smoke bombs in his previous life. Although the smoke was thin and light, it was able to block prying eyes and prevent him from being seen clearly.

As they approached, Chu Zhiyuan's super sense was attracted by a carriage.
