Volume Seven: Flying Dragon Army, Flying Dragon Army! Chapter 27: The roots of an old tree
??The Queen chatted happily with us in the following time. She saw that Lao Wu and others were neither humble nor arrogant in their speech and behavior, and she sincerely accepted them. The three old goblins have each lived for thousands of years, and have long understood the ways of the world. The so-called emperors and generals are just mortals in their eyes. Xiaoqian has also met Yuan Shikai's master, so naturally she is very different from ordinary little girls. . Prince Yun sat next to her and kept picking dishes for her: "Smell this, smell this again, this is the specialty of the imperial chef, this must not be left out" Xiaoqian stopped "smelling" for a long time, and said sweetly: " Thank you sister, I¡¯m full.¡±
The Queen chatted for a few digressions, but after all, she was still concerned about the front line, and asked me again: "Mr. Sword God, the general mentioned in the letter he sent me a few days ago a unit called the Feilong Army. What do you think of them?"
I said: "What did the general say in his letter?"
The Queen said: "The general said it very simply. He said that this army is composed of 19 men, and its combat effectiveness is acceptable, but its life experience is a bit embarrassing. She suggested that I take extraordinary measures in extraordinary times to unite all available forces in the country, so I According to her wishes, the Feilong Army was given a formal establishment, and the salaries were all at the discretion of the Feifeng Army."
Prince Yun smiled and said: "My imperial sister wants to know whether her money was worth it?"
I wonder in my heart, the words "combat effectiveness is acceptable" are too conservative when applied to the Feilong Army. My mother has seen Geng Ling and the others fighting with her own eyes, how could she give such praise? When I was stunned for a moment, Prince Yun had already misunderstood. She curled her lips and said, "It seems that these men are not worth that much money. The general was afraid that he would become a bruised man, and he wanted to show off, so he allowed them to The Flying Dragon Army calls itself itself, am I right?"
After thinking for a moment, I quickly understood what my mother meant - the reason why she didn't tell the truth was actually because she was worried that if the Queen knew the true strength of the Feilong Army, the court would worry about gains and losses, so the main contribution of the Feilong Army was not mentioned at all. , she only said some harmless words, the purpose was to get the military pay and supplies. Her intention was good, but it was unfair to Geng Ling and the others.
My mind started to heat up and I said directly: "The combat effectiveness of the Feilong Army can only be described as 'terrible'. Your Majesty, please do not underestimate these men."
"Oh?" The Queen said with a smile, "What kind of terror method?"
I said: "The 100,000-strong Flying Dragon Army crossed the cliff and descended from the sky. They attacked directly at Heggis's camp and defeated the opponent. Only then did the Allied forces join in. Without the Flying Dragon Army, there would be no great border victory!"
The Queen and Prince Yun looked at each other and said in surprise: "Isn't the great victory on the border caused by the Feifeng Army?"
I said: "The Feifeng Army only dispatched 10,000 troops in this battle."
Prince Yun said in disbelief: "You mean 100,000 Flying Dragon Army fought against more than 1 million Hegis, and finally drove them into the Black Forest?"
"yes!"
The Queen slowly shook her head and said, "Sister, she is not a greedy person."
I said: "Of course the general is not saying this just to get credit. Your Majesty should know what she is worried about."
The Queen is very talented and she immediately realized what I meant. She subconsciously said: "Both men and women are the people under my rule. Is the General afraid that men will arm themselves and rebel?"
I corrected her: "The general is not afraid, she is afraid of you."
The Queen said: "There is no precedent in this country for men to join the army. The general is overly worried."
I said: "I am relieved that the emperor has such knowledge. In fact, the rise of men in the Daughter Kingdom will be of no harm to the court. It is like a person who is born left-handed and later trains his right hand to be extremely strong. Then in the future he will Aren¡¯t you invincible?¡±
The Queen smiled and said: "Sir's analogy is interesting, but I still don't believe you said the Feilong Army is so powerful."
Prince Yun also smiled and said: "I don't believe it either. The Dragon Sword God is probably jealous because he is a man, so that he can show his face in front of us."
I was speechless After talking for a long time, no one believed me. Only then did I realize the other meaning of my mother not telling the truth - if she told the truth, the Queen would probably suspect that she was mentally ill!
But this is what I think. The current enemy is unprecedentedly powerful. If the daughter country cannot unite the front, there will be no hope of victory. So continuing to cover up is not an option. I simply make it clear. And I know Geng Ling¡¯s thoughts very well. It is absolutely impossible for you to let him take off his armor and return home after the war. What is the future and way out for men in the daughter's country? This is a question that will be put on the table sooner or later, so I openly disclosed the truth.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?He said: "If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do about it, but I have a share in the Feilong Army. I can only thank the Emperor for this gift."
Prince Yun smiled and said, "If I hadn't called you the word 'dragon', do you think my sister would have agreed to canonize a group of men?"
I was stunned for a moment and then I understood what she meant. It turned out that the Queen specifically gave the Feilong Army preferential treatment because of my face. I suddenly remembered what Shidong had said to her when Shi Dijia said goodbye to everyone in the Shi family - to buy it for her. Several maids were trained as soldiers to play with her. Although I am not Shidijia, the queen has the same thoughts as Shi Dong. In order to please me, she agreed to give this man's army an official name. Naturally, the Feilong Army also Being treated as a plaything Unexpectedly, Hou Qingyang, who is wise and decisive, can't get rid of the shackles of preconceptions and looking at people through colored glasses.
I said in frustration: "That's all, let it be whatever the emperor says."
Seeing my depressed look, the Queen said, "Let's do this. I'll send Yunquan to follow Mr. to the front line to cheer for the officers and men of the Flying Dragon Army. If it's true as Mr. said, I will have corresponding rewards."
Prince Yun heard that the Queen wanted her to fight in person, so he stood up quickly and said, "Yes!"
The Queen said: "Mr. Sword God and your four friends, please rest in our place for a few days before leaving. I will say goodbye to you all then."
I said, "Your Majesty, don't be polite. The front line is extremely urgent. I think we should leave now."
Prince Yun also said: "Sister Huang, the Dragon Sword God is one of our own, so you don't need to be so polite with him."
The Queen nodded and said: "Okay, then I won't keep you here." She said with a rare naughty smile, "Actually, to be honest, I am extremely anxious and wish you could leave now." Lao Wu and others all laughed. stand up.
The Queen waved to me and said: "Mr. Sword God, I have a few words to say to you alone." Everyone stood up and left in a hurry. Prince Yun asked someone to prepare horses at the entrance of the palace, so the Queen and I walked side by side. I didn't Knowing what she had to say, she followed her silently. The Queen suddenly said: "How will we be compatible as siblings in the future?"
I said without thinking, "Okay." After saying that, I also felt strange. There were quite a few emperors who wanted to call me brothers. There was Zhu Xiaofeng before me and Tian Biqiang after him. Zhu Xiaofeng had a flamboyant personality. He did this to fix me firmly. In his camp, and even later wanted to officially crown him king, Tian Biqiang wanted to get a strong support. Everyone was just talking about being affectionate and using each other. But here with Hou Qingyang, I only feel that she is kind and gentle, as if she has always been in his heart. She treats her like a sister.
Hou Qingyang took my hand and said: "Well, this is what my sister keeps you with. I won't say more about anything else. After the daughter country, it will all depend on my brother." She said these two words naturally, this is a woman Delicate and transparent, with Hou Qingyang's acting style and the status of both of us, she would not use those little tricks and tricks. After calling me sister, she did not mention the rest of the things. Instead, she made me a prince with great fanfare. Much more comfortable.
I smiled and said, "Then I'm leaving, sister."
The queen waved her hand and said: "Go and take good care of Yunquan for me. Together with you and my elder sister, you three are the people I trust the most."
I came to the entrance of the palace to meet Prince Yun and others, and everyone got on the horse together. Old Wu and Old Demon Heishan had never ridden this thing before, which seemed awkward. Xiaoqian sat with her legs together on the side of the saddle, just like we usually sit on chairs. In that way, the long skirt covered her feet, and she knew how to control the wind. She could sit on it without swaying, and was as stable as Mount Tai. Prince Yun couldn't help but exclaimed: "My sister is very good at riding!" Jin Chengwu traveled to various places when he had nothing to do. Both horses and yaks can be ridden
After walking forward for a while, Lao Wu finally invented his own method. He tightly entangled his two feet on the horse's belly, as if taking root there, so that it would not fall down no matter what. The old demon from Montenegro followed the good example and quickly learned the master's method. I looked at it funny from behind and murmured: "This is called the root of an old tree."
¡¡
We started at noon and had not left the capital until evening. By this time, I was already eager to return home and discussed with everyone: "How about you walk slowly, I will go to the border to explore the situation first."
Prince Yun said: "That's fine, I'll just lead them."
Just as I was about to fly, I suddenly felt that the sword energy in the meridians throughout my body was moving towards my Dantian. After a while, I was left with nothing but an empty frame. The sword energy returned to my Dantian and I could no longer control my energy to fly. Prince Yun waited for a long time and asked me: "You Why aren't you leaving yet?"
I sighed: ¡°I can¡¯t leave.¡±
Old Wu and the old demon from Montenegro suddenly grabbed my arms from left to right and said, "Don't worry if you can't walk, we'll diagnose you."I wondered: "What is the diagnosis?"
Old Wu laughed and said: "You said that you rely entirely on meridians to control your qi, and your meridians are not all open. Don't forget what Xiao Hei and I were originally."
The old demon of Montenegro said: "As the saying goes, a person's face is like a tree's bark. When it comes to playing with the veins, my master and I have accumulated more than 4,000 years of cultivation in the veins."
I turned left and right and said, "Hey, you are trees and I am a human!"
Lao Wu said: "Even if there is a difference, the principles are the same." He took my right hand and closed his eyes in silence for a long time. Then he opened his eyes and said, "It may be a little itchy, please bear with it." He said and rushed to Montenegro. The old demon winked, and the two of them grabbed my shoulders together, and intertwined my fingers with their other hands. I felt a silky foreign object slowly invading my fingertips, and then moved up my forearm along my fingers, and then up my forearm. I brought my forearms up to my chest and abdomen, and they continued to climb along my meridians, as if there were countless extremely fine vines wrapped around my meridians, exploring the unknown territory. I only felt that my entire upper body was numb and itchy, and it was very itchy. He kept digging into his heart, wanting to laugh and break away from the two of them. He kept shrugging his shoulders. Old Wu and the old Black Mountain demon looked at each other and said: "Sure enough, although seventy-eight percent of the way has been passed, there is still one last step. The following parts are not smooth. The more subtle these parts are, the harder it is to cultivate. It is the same as before we were in human form, and that is the most critical moment of cultivation."
The old Black Mountain demon said: "If Master hadn't used the Tao Te Ching to save me, I wouldn't be able to transform into a human form now. It's just a matter of reason."
I laughed and gasped: "You two, don't expect to pass me the Tao Te Ching. I, I can't understand it. Can you please take your hands away from me?"
Old Wu said: "You don't need to understand, your meridians are not like our tree veins, so it is not difficult for us to help you unblock them artificially."
I said: "Are there any side effects?"
The old demon from Montenegro smiled and said: "If you go to the wrong place, small saplings will continue to grow in your body, and then you won't have to rely on your nose to breathe"
I went crazy and said, "Let me go, I won't do this anymore."
Old Wu laughed and said: "It's not that exaggerated. Even if it's in the wrong place, it's just a skin injury, just like you humans getting an injection at the wrong acupuncture point. The worst thing you can do is come in a few more times."
"Go away, I don't want to become a termite nest!"
Old Wu blinked at the old demon from Montenegro and said, "Start."
As soon as he finished speaking, I felt a sharp pain in the meridians on my back and lower abdomen. The meridians that I had been afraid of before felt like a blocked pipe being inserted with a fine needle. At first, I only felt pain, but then I felt pain. The smoothness of the meridians made me feel as comfortable as wet dry land. I screamed at first, but now it turned into a pleasant hum.
Prince Yun looked back and saw the three of us walking in a row hand in hand. I was shaken by the two of them like a small tree swaying in the wind. The expression on my face was ambiguous, and I couldn't help but be stunned
Lao Wu and the old Black Mountain demon have different cultivation levels and different temperaments. They also behave very differently when their veins are thinned. Old Wu's veins are thin and tough, and they are smooth and organized when they are dredged along the body. The old demon from the Black Mountain appears to be irritable. Too many times, and I kept saying, "Hey, I'm sorry, I pricked the wrong one, oops, why did it all hit the liver?" I was caught in the middle, as if there was a skilled blind masseur on the right, and a skilled blind masseur on the left. The newbie, who only knew how to use his strength, experienced pain and happiness in a real way.
The two of them used silk vines to help me open my veins. Gradually, the left and right sides were united, and the progress was getting slower and slower. Old Wu's face became extremely solemn, and he warned the old demon of Montenegro: "Be careful!"
The old Black Mountain demon also said: "Master, Xiaolong's meridians are getting thinner and thinner, I can't stand it anymore!"
At this moment, the sword energy in my Dantian suddenly shot out all over my body. Old Wu's expression changed drastically and he said: "Xiao Hei, retreat!"
The old demon from Montenegro was also very surprised. The two of them quickly took their hands away from me, with countless silk vines vaguely connected between their palms.
