Chapter 9 Ruyue Princess
In the past few days, there has been a lot of controversy in the royal capital, especially among the ministers of the palace. Those young men and ladies who do nothing all day long are burning with gossip fires, and various versions of rumors emerge one after another.
Of course, our protagonist, Mr. Xiao, was also suffering, especially after the old man learned about this, he ended up miserably and was almost beaten to death by the angry old man. If it weren't for Long Yun's protection, I would have been afraid that Mr. Xiao would have been kicked out of the house directly.
Xiao Tianci was very excited and was in a very happy mood. It is said that even the girl from the Ai family was confined, and the Ai family couldn't afford to lose this person.
Neither Jia Xu nor Zhang Liao were by his side. After getting another sum of money, Xiao Tianci asked them to prepare for what to leave.
Xiao Tianci, who had been training, actually met Xiao Tianya. After a few days of not seeing this guy, he was much haggard and no longer looked arrogant. It seemed that the naked run had a great blow to him.
"Oh, isn't this a cousin? Today I'm so idle and come to visit the garden?" Xiao Tianci looked up and down at Xiao Tianya and said with a smile, but his words were full of irony.
"You..." Seeing that it was Xiao Tianci, Xiao Tianya's face turned dark. He deliberately avoided Xiao Tianci in the mansion these days, because he was afraid of being ridiculed by him. Unexpectedly, he still didn't escape today. "Little bastard, if you don't go to your countryside honestly, why are you still staying in the mansion all day?"
"Hey! Who are the little bastard talking about?" Xiao Tianci tied his hand and chuckled.
"The little bastard said to you..." Xiao Tianya received it in one go.
"Well, I know myself. I'm a good bastard." Xiao Tianci nodded and said seriously.
"Hmph! I won't have a quarrel with you." Xiao Tianya snorted coldly, "I advise you to go to your small country territory earlier and get out the farther you want."
"Oh, Boss Xiao is so awesome." Xiao Tianci slapped his hand and gave Xiao Tianya a thumbs up and said, "I heard that a few days ago, your king was running naked to the inland river. It was indeed high-end, elegant and high-end. The gameplay was becoming more and more novel. I admired it."
"You..." Xiao Tianya couldn't hear what he meant. His handsome face turned very ugly. "Xiao Tianci, very good, you are really good. I hope you can reach the fiefdom smoothly by then, so don't disappear halfway."
"Haha, of course I'm very good, and I'll be very good in the future. Just wait and see." Xiao Tianci didn't care about his threat, shrugged his shoulders, turned around and left.
.....
A few days later, after Jia Xu and the others had almost prepared the things, Xiao Tianci decided to leave the capital and go to the fiefdom.
On this day, outside the Duke Xiao’s mansion, Xiao Tianci took Jia Xu, Zhang Liao, and the 120 family knights to choose to go on a low-key way. Duke Xiao did not come forward and had already gone into seclusion again, and the family in the big house was even more unlikely to appear.
They all rode out of the Duke's Mansion on horseback and walked along the street, but were stopped by a group of soldiers at the intersection.
Xiao Tianci and others got off the horse, but they saw that the streets were surrounded by people, and it was crowded with people. Even if the roads were blocked by soldiers, they could not stop the enthusiasm of these people.
"What's the situation?" Xiao Tianci looked around in confusion, then pulled a middle-aged man over and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with this today? Why are there so many people?"
The man looked at Xiao Tianci and the others and could see that the group of people were either rich or noble. He muttered twice, a little impatient, "Don't you know that Princess Ruyue's class returned to the court today? The king issued an order to celebrate the whole country, and everyone is here to welcome the princess. Let me go, my goddess is coming."
"Don't I see how old I am, I'm still a goddess." Xiao Tianci let go of her and curled his lips.
"Lord, don't be impatient," Jia Xu walked closer and said in a low voice, "I heard that Princess Ruyue is not only good at skill, but also a master who is like a god. The lord will definitely face her in the future. If you have this opportunity today, you can observe first."
Soon, a long team appeared in front of everyone. The team was an iron-armored cavalry with strict military discipline and a rainbow of momentum. These knights were all wearing black armor, wearing masks, and holding spears. They walked by people silently. The cheering crowd also quieted down, all of them quietly watching the torrent and listening to the uniform sound of horse hooves.
At the front of the black torrent was a charming bright silver color. It was a female general wearing silver armor. Her skin was as soft as cream, as gentle as jade, with a look of falling fish and falling geese, but she was cold and elegant, and her every move exuded a full princess style.
The moment she saw her, Xiao Tianci only felt his heart beating violently, and many previous secret loves about the unlucky guy for this princess appeared in his mind.
"I'll go, the unlucky guy has always been in love with this strong woman. NND. It's a little troublesome, and I'm also a little moved." Xiao Tianci clenched his fists and was secretly frightened. When he looked up again, the goddess had already walked away, looking so noble and so hard to come by.
"Lord, let's go." Jia Xu pulled Xiao Tianci, the blockade had been lifted, and it was time to go on the road.
"Oh, let's go." Xiao Tianci came to his senses, his face slightly hot, he coughed awkwardly, and hurriedly climbed onto the horse.
"Wen Yuan, how did those cavalrymen feel just now?"
Jia Xu and Zhang Liao rode their horses one left and one right, and Jia Xu asked with a smile.
Zhang Liao narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly, "It's not bad, it's disciplined and uniform, and the combat effectiveness should be very strong."
"Ha, if Wen Yuan meets him, would he have confidence?" Xiao Tianci turned his head and smiled.
"Please don't worry, lord, my family has absolute confidence. Just give me time and ensure that you can train a hero who is no less than this." Zhang Liao looked upright and bowed.
"I'm still assured about Wen Yuan's ability. Let's go on the road." Xiao Tianci nodded, looked back at Liying who was leaving, and rode away on a horse.
"The capital, the Duke's Mansion, Princess Ruyue, I will definitely come back in a glorious way."
....
After leaving the capital, everyone traveled day and night, traveling westward. Three days later, they finally left Zhongzhou where the capital was located and entered the Sifangzhou, which was close to Tianqingzhou.
The four prefectures are large in area, with 18 prefectures under their jurisdiction and a population of over 100 million. It is considered a large prefecture. After Xiao Tianci and his friends left the Zhongzhou Plain, they entered the dense forest. For several days, due to the constant rushing, everyone was quite tired and exhausted.
"Can Wenhe still hold on?" Xiao Tianci pulled the reins and slowed down his horse's stance and looked at Jia Xu.
At this moment, Jia Xu had completely lost his former style. After all, he was just a scholar and could not compare to those of them. The days of rushing on the road had already made him physically and mentally exhausted.
"Fortunately, I can still hold on." Jia Xu waved his hand and signaled that he was fine.
At this moment, Zhang Liao suddenly grabbed the horse and looked calm, "Lord, it seems that we are being missed, something is wrong around us."
Others also stopped their horses and pulled out their weapons.
"Hehe, I just said that some people won't let us achieve it easily, but it's still here." Xiao Tianci sneered coldly, slowly pulling out a spear from the horse's back.
"Ding! System mission, to eliminate invading killers, and randomly give the experimenter rewards after completion."
"Damn, there is also a task." Xiao Tianci almost fell off the horse's back when he heard the words suddenly popping out of his mind. "Don't worry, kill these people first."
On a small hill less than a few feet away from Xiao Tianci and the others, several men in black were quietly looking here.
"Chief, they're here."
The leader was a middle-aged man, holding a giant sword that was nearly one meter long in his hand, and his eyes narrowed slightly and stared at the slightly burly figure on the horse's back opposite.
The middle-aged man gradually showed a little doubt in his eyes. He subconsciously held the hilt of the sword in his hand, and veins burst out from the back of his hand.
"Hey, who is the person next to Xiao Tianci? The martial arts realm is probably not bad." He looked at Zhang Liao, and the pressure from this person's aura was extremely huge.
These people are secret dead soldiers of the Xiao family, and are the direct lineage of the Dafang lineage. There are nine people in total, all of whom are first-class masters and often fight against enemies with the method of fighting for life. Even the most innate people have fallen into their hands.
"Lord, please stay here." Seeing Xiao Tianci pulling out his weapons, Zhang Liao pulled out his horse's head and pulled out his long sword with him, "Leave this group of thieves to me."
"Uh, okay, I'll put you in the formation, be careful." Xiao Tianci raised a gun, but it was difficult to refuse Zhang Liao, so he had to nod.
"Don't worry, my lord, my family is gone." Zhang Liao shouted loudly and rushed forward.
"Fight!"
Nine men in black also jumped off the small slope, and several of them were holding different weapons, swords, knives, guns, sticks, hammers...
The nine people all fight with their lives. Chen Ran and the others' fighting style made the innate masters drink too much, but today they are facing the generals and masters.
"Moon Blade Slash!"
Zhang Liao, who was racing on a horse, waved his long sword with his right hand, and seven tsunami-like shock waves of moon blades were side by side, slashing towards them, stirring up smoke and dust in the sky. At the same time, after the seven light waves, seven bottomless cracks were left on the ground.
"This... is the sword light, the sword light composed of the substantial sword energy, how... how is it possible?"
"Ah! Big…Brother, he is really a sword light. Is he the Grandmaster of the General?"
"How is it possible? Why is there a grandmaster around Xiao Tianci..."
The blood was overflowing. In a short time, hundreds of steps away from Xiao Tianci, it had turned into a Shura hell, with broken limbs and broken arms, all of which were killed with one knife.
What a magic knife.
"Awesome." Xiao Tianci clapped his hands and praised.
"Lord, be careful." Just as Xiao Tianci came back to his senses, a spear flashed with a bloody light suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Oh no." Xiao Tianci was intimidated and immediately turned his body away. With a puff, Xiao Tianci's eyes narrowed due to the red light brought by the high-speed spearhead. At the same time, he only felt a sharp pain in his left shoulder, and his whole arm lost consciousness. Fortunately, his timely dodging, the spearhead only pierced his arm and did not hurt his bones.
The person who attacked the sneak attack was the captain of the 120 family knights, Xiao Changhu, one of the Xiao family's personal guards, and the strength of a first-class general.
"You really jumped out." Xiao Tianci gritted his teeth, turned his right half quickly, pulling his body out of the gun. Blood splattered everywhere.
"Hmph! Second Young Master, I didn't expect that there were military generals and masters around you, so we were all misunderstood." Seeing that the attack did not work, Xiao Changhu turned his horse's head and retreated back to the crowd. He knew that today's assassination had failed. In front of the military generals, there were definitely more than a hundred of them.
"Damn it." Zhang Liao, who was far away, saw Xiao Tianci being injured, shouted inwardly and immediately rushed over, "Lord, how is the injury? I'll ask the lord to punish me in the future."
"It's nothing, just a minor injury. Wen Yuan doesn't have to blame himself." Xiao Tianci shook his head and looked at Xiao Changhu and said, "I thought there would be people in the guard who would be installed in the big house, but I didn't expect that that person would be you, as my grandfather."
"Second Young Master, after all, the Duke's Mansion is going to grow old. The future Duke's Mansion can only belong to the eldest, so I'm sorry." Xiao Changhu sighed and pointed to the long spear and said, "In addition, not only I am a member of the big house, but all the 120 family knights behind me are also."
"Ha, Xiao Tianya really looks at me, so let's have a good fight today, let me see if my grandfather's personal guard knight is not true."
"Lord, let me do it." Zhang Liao glanced at the wound on Xiao Tianci's left arm and said with some concern.
"Ha, Wenyuan, don't stop me. Let's take a look today. How about it?" Xiao Tianci smiled faintly, and calmly tore off a strip of cloth from his clothes and tied up his injured left hand.
"Okay, lord, Liao will compete with you today."
