Chapter 256 Inside Shili Village

The man in the hat put away his mace and lowered his body, hiding most of his body in the green wheat field.

As the commander of Xuan Zhong Guard, Xiao Fuwei has extremely strong counter-reconnaissance ability. If he is not so careful, he will definitely be discovered.

The cavalry moved forward, leaving a long trail of yellow sand on the official road.

Where are they going?

"Damn... these grandsons are really unreliable. They don't even know what they are going to do. They only report their whereabouts..."

The bucket man ran one foot deep and one foot shallow between the weeds and gravel, trying his best to maintain a parallel position with the horse team.

The strength of a rank-[-] Mingwu warrior was enough to support him and his horse in a long-distance pursuit. He followed them for about ten miles before finally hearing the sound of their reining in their horses.

"This is……"

The man in a hat looked at the farm in the distance and frowned.

"Shili Village?"

Xuan Zhong's guards slowly spread out at the farm's gate, forming a guarded fan-shaped formation on both sides.

People say that the relationship between Prince Fang Weihan of Guangling and the Xiao family of Lanling is quite good, and it seems to be true now.

Xiao Fuwei had so many things to do that he actually accompanied someone out of the city to a remote farm.

But he can't be with Fang Weihan forever, and he still has many opportunities.

The man in the hat decided to investigate the origin of Shili Village first.

He slowly backed away and disappeared.

……

……

Fang Weihan stood on a balcony and looked over the railing.

The Feng Shui location of this Shili Village is excellent. It is at the highest point of the Shili embankment of Minghe River. In front of you is the fertile tidal flat, and further away is the rolling Minghe River.

White and green are distinct in front of Fang Weihan's eyes, weaving into a magnificent curtain.

Yes, it’s a good place to treat guests to a meal.

Fang Weihan decided to ask his servants to set up a small table on the terrace and treat Tao Yan to dinner here.

Just in time to catch up on the recent elegance of Changming City.

"Second uncle, how are you? Have you found any traces of the assassin?"

Next to Fang Weihan stood Xiao Fuwei.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Xuan Zhong Guard has always been taciturn. At this moment, he stood beside him with his sword in hand, like a statue of the God of War.

"There was indeed someone following us along the way, but I couldn't determine his location."

Xiao Fuwei said lightly.

"The warrior's energy gave me an early warning, but I didn't feel the fluctuations in his power. There are two possible reasons."

"First, this person is proficient in some kind of profound cultivation hidden method. Second, this person's cultivation is higher than mine."

Fang Weihan automatically ignored the second possibility.

Is it higher than the master in front of me? Isn’t that the seventh turn?

The only seventh-level monk that Fang Weihan knew clearly was the master of Linyuan Pavilion. He can't do it himself, can he?

If there are other seventh-level monks in the world who come to assassinate him, then Fang Weihan should stop struggling in vain. Just surrender, you can't beat them anyway.

"What now? Is he still staring at us now?"

Fang Weihan asked again.

"No, he should have left."

Xiao Fuwei looked above his head with deep meaning.

"But along the way, in addition to the vague Qi warning, there is something above us staring at us."

The long sword at his waist suddenly began to vibrate slightly, and the light of blood flowed faintly on the blade.

Could it be that Xiao Fuwei wanted to knock it down with this action?

"No, no, no, second uncle, you can't do it, you can't do it."

Fang Weihan stopped him quickly.

"That's my Pokémon, don't hit it."

Xuan Zhongwei's command made the master hear a word that he had never heard before, and he was stunned for a moment.

Fang Weihan waved to the sky.

A moment later, along with the icy air current, a flash of icy blue light poured down.

The huge wings obscured his vision for a moment, and then quickly shrank, turning into a Q version of a fat bird.

The fat bird shook off the water mist condensed on his body, then deftly landed on Fang Weihan's body and rubbed his head.

"This is... the phoenix from Linyuan Pavilion Yuchen?"

Xiao Fuwei asked in surprise.

He stared closely at the fat bird in front of him. It seemed like I had seen some rare species.

The name of the Phoenix Divine Beast in Linyuan Pavilion was well known to him, but how could this thing appear here? Are you still so close to Fang Weihan?

Xiao Fuwei knew that Fang Weihan had cooperated with Wen Zhexue to capture alive a member of the Fire Worship Cult Sui Si. But he didn't know that the relationship between Fang Weihan and Wen Zhexue was so deep?

Even the Zhenzong’s sacred beast was given to him?

"Correct."

Fang Weihan smiled sheepishly.

He didn't know what Xiao Fuwei was thinking in his heart at the moment.

"Second uncle, don't think too much. This phoenix is ​​only temporarily fostered by me. It does not recognize me as its master. It will be returned to Wen Zhexue in two days."

Xiao Fuwei glanced at him meaningfully, and a strange smile appeared on his solemn face.

"Your Highness is very popular."

Fang Weihan; "..."

Popularity? Looking at Xiao Fuwei's expression, one would guess that what he was talking about was actually the relationship between women, right?

The corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

Is your grandma Xiao Fuwei kidding herself? How can I answer this?

Isn't he accusing himself of being sentimental?

Fang Weihan chose the safest way to deal with it when he was unsure of Xiao Fuwei's intentions.

"Hahaha...Second Uncle, thank you. Wouldn't being more popular help me get through the crisis better?"

He smiled modestly and respectfully.

Any elder who comes here must say: King Guangling is a good kid.

Fang Weihan pretended not to hear what Xiao Fuwei meant.

When in doubt, just pretend to be dead or stupid. Normal people will not compete with dead people or fools.

After Fang Weihan said this, Xiao Fuwei curled his lips imperceptibly.

Fang Weihan: "?"

He seemed...a little disappointed?

What do you mean?

Instead of being resolved, the doubts in Fang Weihan's heart became even heavier.

I still don't know much about Xiao Fuwei, so I will have to ask Xiao Jin later.

"The Phoenix God can fly to extremely high positions and is almost undetectable by people on the ground."

Fang Weihan simply changed the topic and explained to Xiao Fuwei.

"So I flew it up into the sky to see if anyone was following us."

Xiao Fuwei nodded.

Phoenix has clairvoyance and is indeed a good detective.

It's a pity... there is no phoenix among the Xuan Zhong Guards, otherwise the combat power would have been improved a lot.

"Did you see anything?"

Fang Weihan asked Yumo.

"Ow!"

The fat bird nodded and stretched out his wings to draw something.

"Ouch! Ouch..." Fang Weihan: "..."

Damn, I don’t understand.

He looked at Xiao Fuwei as if asking for help.

"I don't understand bird language."

Xiao Fuwei said first.

He had no choice but to turn his head back and stare at the phoenix on his shoulder.

Now it's over, the senior sister is not around, no one can understand what the fat bird is saying.

At least knowing that someone is indeed following me is not without gain.

"Second uncle, wait for me for a while. I will order the servants to clean up the farm a little. Don't let Shizhong Tao see the joke."

Fang Weihan said.

Xiao Fuwei nodded, then turned and looked in the direction of the river.

Alas, my father-in-law... my father-in-law's younger brother really doesn't like to talk.

Fang Weihan took Fat Bird around.

This farm covers a large area. According to the servants, it has more than [-] hectares of cultivated land. This is quite rare for customers around Changming, where land prices are quite high.

The main body of this manor is also quite luxurious, with all the furniture inside. The tables and stools made of yellow birch wood are simple and elegant, and can fully meet the specifications of a vassal king's residence.

There is even a horse farm outside the door, which is covered with green grass.

The respectful groom opened the stable door, and Fang Weihan strolled in as if he were at home.

No, this is my home.

Fang Weihan glanced at the resting horse in the stable.

"The head is slightly heavier, the ears are long and pointed, and the mane is thin and sparse..."

Fang Weihan murmured.

"Is this a Hequ horse?"

he asked the groom guarding the stables.

"It is exactly what His Highness said, this is the Zhou horse among the horses in Hequ."

The groom replied respectfully.

Zhou Ma...

Of course Fang Weihan knew this kind of horse.

Things named after the name of the Zhou Kingdom... are generally related to Fang Qianyi, the founding ancestor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Legend has it that Emperor Wu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Fang Qianyi's mount, Xue Zhongqing, was a cross between the Hequ horse and the Dawan horse. It had a white and green mane, which was extremely rare and magical.

It was on this horse that Fang Ganyi conquered the world.

The horse was also very lucky. Even though Fang Ganyi had gone through more than a hundred battles, it survived until Fang Ganyi ascended the throne and died of old age.

Fang Ganyi was very sad and ordered that after his death, Xue Zhongqing was buried directly in his mausoleum.

Crossbred horses such as Xue Zhongqing, as the emperor's favorite horse breed, were given the name of the country and named Zhou horses. They have been passed down since then, and now they are second only to Sanhe horses and Hequ horses in the empire. The third largest horse breed outside the country.

"Um……"

Fang Weihan randomly picked a horse, turned over and jumped on it.

The horse was eating grass, but when it sensed someone riding on its back, it became furious.

He raised his hind legs high, his back tensed like a bowstring, and he jumped up and down violently, as if he wanted to jolt Fang Weihan down.

"Beast! Are you crazy!"

The groom was startled by Fang Weihan's actions and shouted with a pale face.

If anything happens to His Highness Prince Guangling, he may not even be able to kill him with his own life.

He raised his long riding crop and was about to whip it on the restless horse.

"No need, I'll be fine soon."

Fang Weihan stretched out a hand to support the fat bird on his shoulder, which was shaken askew. He raised his hand to stop the groom's movements.

He stretched out a hand and pressed it on the horse's back, vigorously stimulating the blood.

The red stream of light was like a giant net, extending downward from the horse's back to the horse's hooves, binding half of the horse's body.

Fang Weihan closed his five fingers and tightened the big net woven with blood to resist the horse's struggling power.

The horse struggled to no avail, and finally exhausted all its strength, whining as if resigned to its fate, and became obviously much docile.

Fang Weihan breathed a sigh of relief.

He recalled the knowledge and history of cavalry in his memory.

The power of a horse is far stronger than that of a person. If a monk of the fourth rank of Mingwu was kicked by this horse without any precautions, he would probably suffer some internal injuries.

The way of heaven is eternal, ruthless and indifferent. What it likes to do most is to make up for its losses.

This kind of thing is reflected at the level of cultivation, which is the difference between species.

Human beings possess spiritual intelligence, but their cultivation speed is restricted. The intelligence of beasts has not yet been developed, but the difficulty of cultivation is far lower than that of humans.

A Zhou horse with such abundant vitality can easily break through to a realm equivalent to a human being after just a few days of feeding it with Qi-gathering elixirs. If you feed it for a while longer, you can even break through to the second level.

Although pills alone are no longer enough to reach higher realms, the second level... is enough.

Such a charge of heavy cavalry strengthened by blood energy can already break through the formation of elite infantry from the front, which was unimaginable to the people in the previous dynasty.

Military strategists of the previous dynasty generally believed that cavalry should only play the role of dividing the battlefield, making detours and flanking the enemy, and harassing the enemy's rear. Even heavy cavalry with armored men and horses could not directly attack heavy infantry formations.

This is logical, because the rulers of the Central Plains Dynasty at that time did not know that the combat effectiveness of the cavalry could be greatly enhanced by feeding the horses elixirs.

This matter was first discovered by the aliens in the Northern Desert. At that time, the destiny was prosperous, everyone could practice, and war horses could even be fed to the fourth rank.

The Tuoba royal family relied on this discovery to create a time lag and unified the entire Mobei before other tribes could react.

The elite rhinoceros cavalry started from Tilan City at the foot of the Altai Mountains and penetrated the entire grassland eastward, drinking in the vast sea of ​​horses, and finally reached the outskirts of the East China Sea.

The Tuoba royal family believed in Buddhism, and they used the word "King Kong" to refer to these rhinoceros cavalry who brought glory and conquest to the entire tribe.

The first collision between the Central Plains Dynasty and the foreign tribes in the Northern Desert was when Fang Ganyi was about to dominate the world.

At that time, except for Jingnan and Jiaozhou, almost the entire territory of the former dynasty was included in the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

At this time, news that the foreign tribes from the Northern Desert were going south to surround Youzhou reached Changming... At that time, the city was still called Chang'an.

Fang Ganyi led more than [-] troops out of the pass and went north to fight with the foreigners at Qihe Bay, fifty miles north of Youzhou City.

In the Battle of Qihe Bend, Zhou Dynasty invested a total of more than [-] infantry and cavalry troops. These are all veterans who have followed Fang Ganyi all over the world. They have just established a brand new dynasty. Everyone is eager to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds, and their army is unstoppable.

The aliens on the opposite side only had [-] heavy cavalry and [-] light cavalry. These [-] people also included foreign warriors who dismounted and acted as infantry.

At that time, everyone in Dazhou thought they could win, and it would be a hearty victory.

This army once crossed eight hundred miles to climb the Tianshu Road and gnawed down the sword pavilion under the rain of arrows from Yizhou's sharpshooters; it also formed a backwater formation at the foot of Shangyuan City and fought to the death with the most elite Bingzhou soldiers and cavalry of the previous dynasty.

They can perform miracles when they are outnumbered, not to mention that they are now far more outnumbered than their opponents?

According to their assumptions, this was originally just a trivial victory, but another addition to Fang Ganyi's glorious record.

But...since Fang Weihan, a thousand years later, is very familiar with this matter, it must have happened that things did not develop as they expected.

The Battle of Seven Rivers Bend, more accurately called the disastrous defeat of Seven Rivers Bend.

Just a quarter of an hour after the battle began, the [-] heavy cavalry penetrated the Zhou Dynasty's central army head-on like a mountain torrent, destroying all Fang Ganyi's command hubs.

The soldiers in the cavalry's attack route were thrown high, and their bodies fell like rag bags. The soldiers beside them were terrified.

They were the most elite armed guards in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Their armor weighed more than [-] kilograms, yet they were knocked away by the impact of the cavalry.

The destructive power of King Kong is evident.

No cavalry has ever been able to penetrate the heavy infantry's spear array head-on, until today.

Fang Ganyi, who was already at the peak of rank seven at that time, and all the generals of rank six under his command were unable to stop the attack of this group of ghostly cavalry.

After the chaos in the Chinese army, the war turned into a complete massacre.

According to historical records, the Zhou Dynasty suffered [-] casualties and [-] missing in this battle, and the troops were routed for more than [-] miles.

If Xun Ying, who stayed behind in Youzhou City, had not withstood the follow-up offensive of the aliens, this important border defense town would probably have fallen into the hands of the enemy, and it would be extremely difficult to get it back.

At that time, the thousands of years of hard work of the Central Plains dynasty will be destroyed.
