Text Chapter 552: Luo Xin's Challenge
In Yunzhong County, the sound of horseshoes echoed endlessly in the valley. This is the garrison of the Iron Blade Army in Yunzhong Province, but it is very close to Wugu City, the capital of Cangnan Province.
The sun rises, and the morning light shines on the armor of the cavalry, giving off a charming luster.
There were four people standing on the spotting platform, namely Su Muyun, Su Yu, Su Long, and Luo Xin who had recently joined the Iron Blade Army. At this time, Luo Xin was wearing a specially cast silver robe, and a white robe followed the wind. Swaying, holding an iron gun in his hand, he looked very high-spirited.
"This is the Iron Blade Army."
Su Muyun squinted his eyes and said: "One of the most elite cavalry in the empire, the Iron Blade Legion still maintains an organizational system of 50,000 cavalry and 70,000 infantry. It is one of the best in the empire in terms of numbers. Ah Yu has improved many times in the past two years. The blades and shields used by the Iron Blade Army have been used to enhance their combat power, but...the Iron Blade Army is no longer the strongest soldier in the empire."
Luo Xin said in amazement: "Such a mighty Iron Blade Army is still not number one in the empire, so who is it?"
"Currently, Lin Muyu's Gentian Legion is recognized as the most powerful army in the empire, with a total of 60,000 people. The level of equipment is second to none on the mainland, and the combat power of the army has been witnessed by the world." Su Yu smiled lightly and said: " The Gendan Battalion defeated the First Demon Army with almost negligible losses in Wildfire, and let the first commander of the Demon return home in a weak wind. It is precisely because of this that the Dragon Dan Army is the most popular empress in the empire. The legion that His Highness relies on."
Luo Xin's eyes were full of fighting intent, and said: "Father, don't worry, I will definitely follow Sister Su Yu and Uncle Su Long to learn the art of war, and lead the Iron Blade Army to become the number one army in the world, surpassing the Long Dan Battalion!"
"good!"
Su Muyun nodded and smiled, and said, "Father just wants to hear your words. Now, Father gives you the first order."
Luo Xin immediately cupped her fists: "Father, please give me an order."
"I will give you five thousand cavalry, and you must take back a black gold mine in Qishan from a group of bandits before sunset."
"Qishan Xuan Gold Mine?" Luo Xin was stunned: "I have seen the map. Qishan belongs to the territory of Cangnan Province, and it is under the jurisdiction of Xu Jiantao, the governor of Wugu City, and Xu Jiantao belongs to Lin Muyu."
"That's right."
Su Muyun said: "The black gold mines in the empire are very rare, and most of them are mined privately. Qishan is located at the junction of Cangnan Province and Yunzhong Province. The sovereignty has always been ambiguous, and Xu Jiantao has too few troops, so Sending a mercenary force of less than 2,000 people to Qishan to mine, hmph... In that case, we will treat this mercenary as a bandit and take it as our own."
"Yes, the child understands!"
The sun completely jumped out of the horizon and shone on the faces of Su Muyun and Su Yu. After hearing Su Muyun's words, Su Yu was a little displeased, and waited until Luo Xin rode away before saying, "Father...Ah Yu is Xiao Yin People, we are so aggressive, it is no different from provocation."
"provocative?"
Su Muyun looked at his daughter indifferently, and said: "How many people from the Su family are still employed by His Highness in the Zetian Palace today? If we don't consolidate our strength, I'm afraid Tang Lan can be silent without Xiao Yin's hands." We have wiped out our province in the cloud, and the mysterious gold mine is very important to any force. In the future, whoever controls the heavenly book will control the power."
Su Yu hesitated to speak, her pretty face was full of helplessness.
...
Three days later, after tossing and turning, finally Lin Muyu's 500 people returned to Lanyan City. Situ Sen and Situ Xue led 5,000 gentian battalion troops out of the city to meet them. When they saw a group of frost-armored horned dragons and flame turtles, they were immediately frightened jumped.
"Commander, is this the legendary Frost Armored Horned Dragon?" Situ Sen held the hilt of his sword and looked at Wei Chou's spiritual pet with full alertness.
"Huchi...huchi..."
The Frost Armored Horned Dragon seemed to have sensed Situ Sen's hostility, and immediately put its head close to Situ Sen's face, and sprayed out a stream of frosty aura towards Situ Sen's face. Angrily said: "Thunder Lou Mou, you bastard, how dare you criticize me!?"
Wei Qiu stared and said: "General Sen, this is my spiritual pet, don't provoke it!"
Situ Sen laughed, put his arms around Wei Chou's shoulders, and said, "Ah Chou, do you have any extra Frost Armored Horned Dragons here? Why don't you give one to Big Brother? I'll buy you a drink!"
Wei Chou's eyes widened: "My name is Wei Chou, not Ah Chou!"
"What's the difference? We don't want to be like this. It's too tiring to live. I'll buy you three drinks, A Chou. Can you give me a frost-armored horned dragon?"
"I want to grab it myself!"
Situ Xue laughed at the side, ignoring Situ Sen and Wei Chou's nonsense, rode to Lin Muyu's side, and said with a respectful smile, "Your Commander, you have worked hard!"
"General Xue has also worked hard in training troops." Lin Muyu laughed.
Situ Xue looked at the group of spiritual pets behind him, and said, "If so many behemoths enter Lanyan City, I'm afraid they will frighten the ordinary people. I don't think your lord really wants to bring these frost-armored horned dragons into the imperial capital. Even the imperial guards guarding the city would not agree."
"Of course not."
Lin Muyu smiled and said, "I've thought about it a long time ago. The Frost Armored Horned Dragon can't leave the water for too long, or it will lose its vitality, so I asked General Xue to send someone to dig out a lake next to the camp outside Longdanying City, and call it Longchi. Yes, as the habitat of the Frost Armored Horned Dragon, if we have more aquatic pets in the future, we will also raise them in the Dragon Pond."
"Yes, this subordinate obeys."
Situ Xue smiled, and said, "With so many spiritual pets, I'm afraid I need a lot of food alone. Do I need to take care of this?"
"That would be the best."
"Um!"
Situ Xue held the rein, thought for a while, and said, "There is one thing that I don't know whether I should tell my lord."
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Lin Muyu asked in surprise.
Situ Xuedao: "Recently, Su Muyun, the king of Yunzhong, got an adopted son named Luo Xin, who is a saint king. He defeated Zhang Wei, my brother Situ Sen, and Feng Jixing successively in Zetian Temple."
"He defeated Brother Feng?" Lin Muyu was slightly taken aback: "Impossible, Brother Feng has pure skills, even if the opponent is a holy king, he may not be able to defeat him, right?"
"Maybe it's because Commander Feng didn't have enough to eat that day." Situ Xue turned cold, and said, "This Luo Xin was appointed by Su Muyun as the deputy commander of the Iron Blade Army. Xu Jiantao almost vomited blood because of this, and now... this mountain has been guarded by 3,000 garrisons from the Iron Blade Army."
"The Qishan Xuan Gold Mine is lost?"
Lin Muyu was furious, his fists were full of fighting flames, and he said, "What is the origin of this Luo Xin, he is so bold... What the hell is this old guy Su Muyun thinking!"
Situ Xuedao: "On the provincial map of the empire, there was no Qishan Mountain at all. This Qishan Mountain is actually shared by the Yunzhong Province and the Cangnan Province. It’s nothing more than hiring a group of mercenaries to guard the mine. This just gave Su Muyun an opportunity to catch him. He claimed that he had exterminated the bandits occupying the mine. He asked His Highness to transfer Qishan directly to the Yunzhong Province a day ago. We are in vain suffered a dumb loss."
After speaking, Situ Xue paused, his beautiful eyes were full of anger, and said: "Luo Xin is very powerful, he has repeatedly challenged all the generals in the imperial capital, except for Pingnan Hou Xiang Yu, he almost made the empire stronger." All the generals have challenged once, and there is no defeat."
"Where's Brother Feng?"
"He..." Situ Jin couldn't help laughing: "Commander Feng ran to Yunzhong Palace one after another to challenge Luo Xin after he was full, but Luo Xin stayed behind closed doors and avoided the challenge of Commander Feng again and again , I heard... now the imperial capital is spreading that Luo Xin is already the number one powerhouse in the empire..."
"No. 1 in the empire?" Lin Muyu smiled: "With Qu Lao and Qin Han's ancestors around, what kind of green onion is he?"
"Are you going to challenge Luo Xin at the Yunzhong Palace?"
"No need."
Lin Muyu said: "Once the news of my return to Lanyan City spreads, Luo Xin will definitely come to me on his own initiative. Only when he defeats me will he be truly number one!"
"Um!"
...
After entering the Zetian Temple to pay the order, and having dinner with Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi, Lin Muyu took the 200 staff in the temple back to the temple to pay the order. The mighty group of people attracted the people on Tongtian Street. He stared sideways.
Inside the temple, the lights are bright.
Holding the scroll in his hand, Ge Yang was reading a section of martial arts mentality, while Xuanyuan Hong sat aside with his eyes closed, with a leisurely smile on his lips.
"Lin Muyu sees Chief Deacon! Sees Deacon Ge Yang!"
"Oh? Ah Yu is back!"
Xuanyuanhong stood up, glanced at Lin Muyu and the others, and said with a smile: "It seems that Ah Yu has improved a bit in his cultivation during this trip."
"not bad."
Lin Muyu smiled modestly, and said to Xuanyuanhong: "Deacon, I have something I want to discuss with you and Deacon Geyang alone."
"Oh, let's come to the side hall then."
"yes!"
Entering the side hall, when there were only three people, Lin Muyu took out the scroll he had written from his arms, and said, "Deacon, please take a look and see if this method is feasible."
"oh?"
Xuanyuanhong took the scroll with some doubts, and while reading it, the cloud of doubt on his face gradually dissipated, replaced by ecstasy, he raised his head and asked, "Ah Yu, you wrote this piece of mind? This...how mysterious!"
Lin Muyu replied truthfully: "This is the forged keel bone scroll that Elder Qu once gave me. I improved it and simplified it to become like this. It has a good effect on cutting the scriptures and washing the marrow. If the chief deacon thinks it is feasible, this heart The method can be regarded as the cultivation method in the temple, but all the trainers and instructors above the silver star can practice it."
"good!"
Xuanyuanhong gave the scroll to Ge Yang as if he had found a treasure.
But at this moment, suddenly a guard of the temple broke in, quite embarrassed, and said: "Deacon, someone is going to challenge Lord Lin Muyu in the temple, and the person who comes claims to be Luo Xin from the Palace of the Clouds!"
"Come so fast?"
Lin Muyu couldn't help laughing: "Well, it's time for me to meet this Luo Xin!"
