Blade of the Sword Master Chapter 413: First arrival at Hulao Pass
Chu Wuming's departure did not ease the tension in the imperial capital. Everyone knows this, because when Chu Wuming left, the three-legged rivalry once became a battle between two tigers.
Seeing that it is only one step away from the position of the prince, in this way, both Chu Wuque and Chu Wushuang are even more desperate, because as long as they can wipe out the other party, the position of the prince is his own.
The competition for the crown prince became more fierce as Chu Wuming left. At the same time, Lord Fen Tian did not leave the imperial capital with Xiao Chen this time.
First of all, Lord Burning Heaven is now also a Supreme Emperor of the Moonless Empire. It can be said that he is the guardian **** of the Empire. If he leaves with Xiao Chen, it will inevitably make Chu Mu suspicious. This is what Xiao Chen will do next. There is no benefit. Secondly, even though Chu Wuming left the imperial capital, he will return sooner or later in the future. The Lord Burning Heaven can also act as a deterrent if he stays in the imperial capital.
I didn't care what would happen to the emperor after they left. Through the teleportation formation, Xiao Chen and the others quickly arrived at Hulao Pass.
As the border of the Moonless Empire, Hulao Pass is extremely far away from the imperial capital. If there is no teleportation, it would take at least five days to rush from the Imperial Capital to Hulao Pass, and this is still a super power in the Dao Venerable Realm. The speed is calculated.
However, it appeared in Hulao Pass in an instant. This Hulao Pass is actually a valley surrounded by mountains on both sides. It's just that the area of the valley is so large that you can't see the edge at first glance. Like a barren plain.
And this plain is also the only way to communicate between the Moonless Empire and the Sirius Empire. After all, there are towering mountains on both sides of Hulao Pass, not to mention whether people can pass through, even if they can, but this There are many monsters living in the two mountains, human beings enter them, and they die in nine.
It is also precisely because of the natural location of the Hulaoguan that it has become a battleground for military strategists. Whether it is the Moonless Empire or the Sirius Empire, they want to control the entire Hulaoguan in their own hands, because Once you control the Hulao Pass, it is equivalent to mastering absolute initiative, and the other party becomes the fish next to the pillow, eating whenever you want.
I know the importance of Hulao Pass, so the two empires are heavily defended here. There are two huge valleys. The Moonless Empire and the Sirius Empire have millions of troops stationed here. In this way, This Hulao Pass naturally became a battlefield where the two armies fought.
At the entrance to Hulao Pass belonging to the Moonless Empire, a total of four cities were built here, and these four cities are the direction of the Moonless Empire at Hulao Pass.
The four frontier cities are forming a corner, firmly guarding the Hulao Pass. At this time, Xiao Chen and the others arrived through the teleportation array, one of the four border cities, named Zhenshan City, and the army that controls this city It was the famous Zhenshan Army of the Moonless Empire.
The news of Chu Wuming's arrival had been received in advance, and when everyone stepped out of the teleportation formation, the generals of the Zhenshan Army had already been waiting here.
Seeing Chu Wuming approaching, a tall, stubborn, middle-aged general stepped forward, followed by seven or eight other generals of the Zhenshan Army.
"The final general Zhao Feng paid a visit to His Royal Highness the Three Princes."
This Zhao Feng is the general of the Zhenshan Army, responsible for the management of the Zhenshan Army. Looking at Zhao Feng, who looks rough and sturdy, Xiao Chen nodded secretly in his heart. This person is indeed a Titan and has a cultivation level. He has already reached the Dao Zun realm, and it is no wonder that the royal family will let him guard the Hulao Pass and take the sole control of the mountain army.
The four armies around Hulao Pass are naturally tightly controlled by the royal family. Regardless of the four princes and eight princes in the imperial capital, they are extremely powerful, but they do not have military power in their hands.
The royal family is not a fool. How could it be possible for these powerful officials to hold the military power? Therefore, the entire Moonless Empire’s army is almost in the hands of the royal family. Without royal orders, even the four princes would not be able to mobilize one. Soldiers, except for their own private soldiers of course, but how many private soldiers can there be.
Under normal circumstances, when there is no war, Zhao Feng is in charge of the mountain city of this town. Once a war breaks out, the royal family will send people from the capital to sit in the town. Then the four princes and eight princes can command the Zhenshan army to fight. Of course, this command and military power are two concepts. After the war, the four princes and the eight princes all exchanged their weapons to the royal family.
Faced with Zhao Feng's salute, Chu Wuming nodded slightly and said, "General Zhao has worked hard."
A few words with Zhao Feng. As for Xiao Chen and others, Zhao Feng didn't pay much attention to it, so Xiao Chen would naturally not care about it.
Prepared a place to live for Chu Wuming in advance. At the same time, Xiao Chen and others naturally lived with Chu Wuming. After all, Xiao Chen and others were guards responsible for protecting Chu Wuming.
At that night, Zhao Feng held a grand banquet. At the banquet, all the senior generals of the Zhenshan army were present. The three princes, Chu Wuming, sat in the main seat. As for Xiao Chen and Zhao Feng, they were seated at the left, right, and lower heads. .
The atmosphere of the banquet was very lively, but in this lively atmosphere, Xiao Chen felt keenly that although Zhao Feng and others were polite to Chu Wuming, they did not show much respect.
Want to come too, this time I went to Hulao Pass, Chu Mu did not give Chu Wuming command of any army. To Zhao Feng and others, Chu Mu only said that Chu Wuming came to Hulao Pass for training, Zhenshan The army does not need to follow Chu Wuming's command.
Chu Mu did not delegate power, and Chu Wuming did not have the full power to command the Zhenshan Army. As a result, Zhao Feng naturally did not need to follow Chu Wuming's orders.
A banquet soon ended in a cheerful atmosphere. It was not until late at night that Xiao Chen and Chu Wuming returned to their residence together.
In the next few days~IndoMTL.com~Xiao Chen didn't do anything special. When I first arrived at Hulao Pass, I had to find out the situation here.
In the eyes of outsiders every day, Xiao Chen and Chu Wuming are doing nothing, drinking and wandering all day long, but secretly, Zhang Qi and others have already started to act.
Five days passed. On this day, Zhang Qi and others returned one after another, and they also truthfully told Xiao Chen about the general situation at Hulao Pass. After hearing the report from Zhang Qi and others, Xiao Chen's mouth showed a faint touch. With a smile, he then said to Zhang Qi.
"Go and invite your Highness to come, just say I have something to discuss."
Let Chu Wuming come to find himself. Obviously, this was not what a courtier did. However, Xiao Chen's relationship with Chu Wuming was indeed not a monarch, and Chu Wuming knew that Xiao Chenzhi was not in the Wuyue Empire. It is impossible to seek any position in the Moonless Empire. Therefore, in the face of Xiao Chen, Chu Wuming never felt that he was a monarch and Xiao Chen was a minister. Therefore, after hearing Zhang Qi’s letter, Chu Wuming didn’t care. He took the initiative to come to Xiao Chen's study.
