Longevity Martial Arts Begins by Taking Care of the Queen

Chapter 21 The Stormy Dragon and Tiger Club

Jianjia Pass.

This is one of the two passes from Qingzhou to Yuzhou. It is very prosperous, has tall city walls, and is heavily guarded. The guard will be the Little Grand Master of the Eight Realms, commanding one hundred thousand officers and soldiers.

At this moment, the guard general of Jianjia Pass and a group of generals who had already received the news stood at the top of the city and looked into the distance, waiting for the arrival of the army.

Jianjia Pass is located in Qingzhou and is under the jurisdiction of the Qingzhou governor. However, the guard is not a member of the Chenliu Cao family, but a subordinate of the imperial court. Its purpose is self-evident, and the Chenliu Cao family has no objection.

After a day's journey, Chenliu and Cao's army arrived in Qingzhou border.

The guard at Jianjia Pass did not wait long when he saw three luxury carriages approaching from the end of his field of vision, followed by a majestic army, neatly groomed, well equipped with troops and horses, with windy and majestic steps, and a large, continuous mass of black clouds. Continuously.

"What a powerful army." The guard of Jianjia Pass whispered to himself, his eyes fixed on the banners of the Euphorbias and the Earthbreakers.

As a general stationed in Qingzhou, he had a deep understanding of the Chenliu Cao clan, but this was the first time he saw the Cao clan's private army. He was shocked. Daqian's army was more elite than the Euphorbias and Earthbreakers. To say that there are only a few, there are only a handful.

Obviously, the Euphorbias and Earthbreakers are not the most elite troops of Cao Clan.

He was a military commander loyal to the Daqian court. Seeing that the Chenliu Cao family had such a powerful private army, his face was a little ugly, but he recovered instantly.

No matter what, the Chenliu Cao family came to Beijing this time under the imperial edict, and performed the heroic feat of bringing order to the country and defending the country, which was countless times better than those thieves who tried to steal the country.

With the strong support of the Chenliu Cao family, I believe that Your Majesty will soon be able to suppress the rebellion, stabilize the imperial court, create a bright future, and lead the Daqian Dynasty to glory.

As for the rumors in the capital, he had heard of them, but he didn't believe them. Emperor Qian had just turned 20 and was established as the prince when he was born. He was a boy at that time. Countless people had seen the prince during this period. How could he be a woman?

This news was just released by people with ulterior motives to disrupt public opinion.

When the guard of Jianjia Pass was thinking about it, the deputy general issued a reminder. He immediately took a look and saw that the cavalry general Cao Ze was already arriving. He quickly led his people to greet him at the foot of the pass.

Cao Ze did not get off the carriage, he had already left this matter to his uncle. Cao Zhengyu stepped out of the first carriage, and the guard of Jianjia Pass and others immediately came over and said respectfully:

"I've met General Zuo."

The Cao family of Chen Liu led his army to Beijing according to the imperial edict. Except for Cao Ze, who was named General of Chariots and Cavalry, the others were also given official positions according to their cultivation and status. For example, the great master Cao Zhengyu was named General of the Left.

"Thank you for your hard work. The army will stay at Jianjia Pass for an hour, replenish supplies, and then continue to set off."

Cao Zhengyu looked at the merchants on both sides of the official road and said in a deep voice to the generals of Jianjiaguan.

The guard general of Jianjia Pass nodded in agreement, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at the remaining two carriages, knowing that General Cao Ze must be in one of them.

It's just that the cavalry general didn't come down, so it was hard for him to ask. As for the reason why he didn't come down, the guard at Jianjia Pass could guess some of it, and he could only pray secretly that Cao Ze would be safe on his journey.

Cao Zhengyu negotiated with him and returned to the carriage. Everyone in Jianjiaguan just glanced at the first carriage and wandered around the next two carriages. Many of them were spies from various forces and wanted to know. Which carriage did Cao Ze take?

In the third carriage, Cao Ze clearly sensed the glances around him, some of which were malicious. He snorted coldly and didn't care.

Although he led three legions and 60 troops to Beijing according to the order, the clouds and rain for eight thousand miles may not necessarily lead to peace, and some troubles may arise.

After all, in the eyes of the outside world, he has no cultivation base and is easy to handle.

Cao Ze didn't know much about these matters, so he chose to take a carriage. It was not the first carriage, but he didn't want to tease Xue Ning's eyebrows.According to his wishes, he would like to have a silver saddle shining on a white horse, swaying like a shooting star, galloping across the world with a whip.

However, the time was not right now, and a little impatience would ruin a big plan. Cao Ze was willing to endure it and see if the fox's tail would show up.

After an hour,

After the army was reorganized, they continued to set off, leaving Jianjia Pass and entering the territory of Yuzhou. The news seemed to have grown wings and quickly spread to all parties.

On the city wall, the guard of Jianjia Pass looked at the endless and mighty army, with a flash of envy in his eyes.

The Jiangjiaguan garrison was considered an elite force in Qingzhou, similar to the Poxuan Army, but it was much worse than the Earth Splitting Army and the Euphorbia Troopers, which were considered elite troops in the entire Daqian Dynasty and even in the world.

"I hope Cao Clan can really help His Majesty settle the situation and put an end to internal worries." The guard at Jianjia Pass murmured in his heart.

There are only two checkpoints in Yuzhou and Shenzhou, namely Yuxia Pass and Tongshen Pass.

At this moment, on a mountain dozens of miles away from Yuxia Pass, two figures were standing, both wearing cloaks. Their auras were undetectable, and there were even birds lingering on the cloaks.

"are you sure?"

The cloaked man on the left suddenly spoke. He was so startled that the bird wanted to fly away. He spread his right hand and made a slight move. It seemed to be a great attraction. The bird that had originally flown a certain distance was sucked into his hand and could not break through it no matter what. An invisible barrier.

"According to the latest information, Cao Clan's army passed through Jianjia Pass three days ago, passed Yuzhou City one day ago, and took the official road from Yuxia Pass to Shenzhou. Calculating the time, it is almost there."

A flash of light flashed in the eyes of the cloaked man on the right, and he told the information about the movement of Cao Clan's army.

The cloaked man on the left released the bird, nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "This business is not easy to do. You must be extremely careful. Maybe we will all get stuck in it."

"I can't help it, they gave me too much." The man in the cloak on the right felt the same way and smiled helplessly.

As professional assassins, don't they know the dangers involved?
It's just that the reward given by the mysterious employer is too high, which is enough to make the Grand Master of Heavenly Beings be tempted. How can they, two mere Grandmasters, not be tempted?
Once they complete the mission and obtain the bounty, their strength will be further enhanced.

Seven hundred miles outside Yuxia Pass, Cao Clan's army was marching towards Yuxia Pass in a leisurely manner.

In the carriage, Cao Ze was listening to Cao Zhengyu's intelligence report.

"Shaoqing, according to the news we received, the governors of Bingzhou and Liangzhou each raised 50 troops and headed towards Zhengjing City. The banner was 'Qingjun's side, Jingguo is in trouble'. They are almost at Qianzhou."

Cao Zhengyu frowned and recounted, with a worried look on his eyebrows. This information was not good news for them.

Cao Ze's pupils shrank, his expression remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "Uncle, please be patient. Isn't this what we expected?"

Cao Zhengyu was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

This was indeed what they expected. Emperor Qian had their help, and General Chu Yuan would not sit still and wait for death. He would definitely call on helpers, but he did not expect that there would be two governors openly supporting Chu Yuan.

Afterwards, Cao Zhengyu and Cao Ze had a secret conversation before returning to their carriage.

His mood was quite complicated. He didn't expect Cao Ze to be so calm and calm. He didn't have the dandyish debauchery of the past three years. It seemed that the ancestor and the head of the family had carefully considered letting Shaoqing lead the army.
