Chapter 137 Entering Beili
Chen Mo rode on the imperial horse and walked at the front of the delegation.
On his left and right sides, there were hundreds of fully armed heavy cavalry guards.
These people were the personal soldiers of General Zhenbei, and now they were escorting the delegation to the Beili border.
In front of them was a border city, with a wall more than ten feet high and stretching for hundreds of miles, with no end in sight.
There were countless knife and axe marks on the wall, and many gaps were even stained dark red by blood.
Even the land that Chen Mo stepped on was stained dark red by the blood that had been soaked for many years.
The two countries fought countless times at this border, but the number of times they actually crossed the border was very few.
After riding for a few more miles, they suddenly saw smoke and dust in front, and hundreds of armored heavy cavalry galloped.
These cavalrymen who appeared were not only armored, but also armored horses. They were truly elite heavy cavalry, not inferior to General Zhenbei's personal soldiers.
The two teams of cavalry met in the center of this battlefield.
The two armies faced each other, and for a while, the swords were drawn and the atmosphere was full of killing. If there was any slight mistake, both sides would fight without hesitation.
The reason was simple. The war between the two countries was ultimately a fight between the soldiers stationed at the border.
There was already a deep blood feud between the two sides' personal soldiers. Either you killed my brother, or I killed your nephew.
When enemies meet, they are naturally jealous. They didn't fight directly, which was well-trained and restrained.
"I am the Minister of Rites of Daqian. I came to visit Dali by the order of the emperor of our dynasty."
Chen Mo rode forward and spoke loudly.
He gave Beili enough face in his words. You must know that the two countries are privately and openly.
Daqian has always called Dali Beili, and Dali has always called Daqian Nanqian.
He is the first person who directly recognizes the name of Dali as an official.
In fact, during this mission, even the letter of state submitted to Beili originally called it Beili.
But Chen Mo advocated changing it to Dali. Since they wanted to negotiate, they had to adopt a peace negotiation posture.
Acknowledge that Dali was an equal country to Daqian. No matter what happened in the future, they should try their best to negotiate.
Let the royal family of Dali and the small and medium-sized families know that Daqian was very sincere in this peace talk, and hope that they could promote the peace talks as much as possible.
"I am the Minister of Rites of Dali. I came here to welcome the Daqian delegation under the order of the emperor."
The Minister of Rites of Dali was a smart man. He took advantage of the face given by Chen Mo and decisively changed the name of Nanqian that was originally prepared to Daqian.
Of course, he understood that Chen Mo spoke first to give face to his side. If he refused to give face, some accidents might happen.
With his status, he could not bear these accidents. Moreover, the fact that he was sent by the emperor to welcome the delegation was enough to prove that he was also a peace advocate.
The two Ministers of Rites came into contact and finally broke the dull atmosphere.
"Everyone, follow me into Dali!" Chen Mo rode forward.
The officials of the Dali Ministry of Rites came up to greet them immediately, and took the envoys away with them, heading to the capital to meet the emperor of Dali.
General Daqian Zhenbei watched the envoys leave, but he was relieved in his heart.
Of course, he knew that the envoys' mission this time was a good thing to promote peace talks, but too many people did not want to see peace talks, and the foreign demons would attack at any time.
During the days when the envoys were in the border town, he repeatedly strengthened the defense all day long, just for fear that the envoys would get into trouble here.
Now that this hot potato was finally sent away safely, he could breathe a sigh of relief.
Chen Mo led the envoys and walked all the way to Dali under the protection of the Dali heavy cavalry.
These armored heavy cavalry treated the members of the envoys with glaring eyes, and did not hide their murderous intent.
Chen Mo's expression was still calm. He had killed countless people, so he would not be scared by this.
Even if some people in the envoys were frightened, they all pretended to be calm at this time.
The innate masters above the sky continued to follow them, but this time there were two more innate masters from the Dali royal family.
The border town of Dali was very solemn, and many armored soldiers guarded the streets and watched the delegation pass by.
"The emperor of our dynasty was very happy to hear that the Daqian delegation was coming, and he had already ordered us to come here to wait for the reception." The Minister of Rites of Dali said with a smile.
They also needed peace talks. In Dali, the power of those big families was a bit too great.
Not to mention ordinary people, even the way for many poor families and small and medium-sized families to rise was blocked.
In order to guard against the invasion of Daqian, the court had to rely on the power of those big families, which made those families further expand.
Peace talks were necessary for many small and medium-sized forces and the royal family in Dali.
Similarly, those big families would do everything they could to prevent peace talks, but they would never kill Chen Mo.
Because even those big families did not really want to continue the war with Daqian, because war would still kill people.
They just want to maintain the current state of confrontation, neither fighting nor making peace, which is most beneficial to them.
And if they really want to kill Chen Mo, the person who does it and the forces behind him will inevitably become the target of public criticism.
The royal family can't really fight against the union of all the families, but it is not difficult to concentrate their strength to solve one.
Besides, those big families are not united, and no one wants to be the first bird to stand out.
After all, no one dares to guarantee that if they take the initiative to stand up, the allies will help them instead of stabbing them secretly.
Chen Mo and other members of the delegation were arranged to stay in the border town temporarily, and rest for two days before continuing on the road.
The Dali court also sent a team of guards to the mission, with a total of twelve people, three Houtian warriors and nine Tongmai Perfect warriors.
It can be seen that the Dali royal family really attaches great importance to this peace negotiation.
With the current guard strength of the mission, there will never be any danger unless the innately powerful person arrives in person.
This is the protective force on the surface, and there are innate powerful people guarding it secretly.
It's just that even the strong men from the demonic and alien races know that the mission must be secretly followed and protected by the two innate strong men.
They also have to take action. This is a conspiracy and there is no room for them to refuse.
"Mr. Chen, if we go forward three hundred miles, there will be a small town for us to rest." The Minister of Rites of Dali walked to Chen Mo and said with a smile.
They were the ones leading the way as the envoys came, and the map of Dali was only in the hands of the Minister of Rites.
"Okay, then let's walk slower and don't spend the night in that city. We will go back to the city to rest early tomorrow morning."
Chen Mo thought about it and explained.
Once they enter the city, they will immediately be in a lot of danger. The reason is simple. Those innate experts who are dormant in the dark can just seize the opportunity and kill the night watchmen.
That's a big problem.
Even if the mission had specially arranged night watchmen, in this case, they would not be able to stop the mirage at all.
Even if you are protected by an innate strong person, once you fall into a mirage, especially a large mirage with at least hundreds of thousands of people.
The danger is simply immeasurable. It is estimated that no one in the entire mission and all the people in the city will survive.
Even those innate strong men who are secretly protecting may lose their lives if they walk slower.
The process is not important, the result is the most important.
No matter what, as long as Chen Mo and others die in Beili, the goal of the demonic path and the alien race will be achieved.
Therefore, during this mission, except for the two border towns where they were protected by countless formations, the mission almost always spent the night in the wilderness.
The few times it didn't happen, they were always in small villages with a maximum of two to three hundred people.
Even if something goes wrong with the night watchmen in such a place, relying on the mission's own night watchmen or even the amulet that Chen Mo carries with him is enough to dispel this small mirage.
Chen Mo pulled the reins to make the horse run slower.
He has already worn the animal-faced, head-swallowing chain armor on his body, and he almost never takes off the armor day and night.
This is indeed a bit uncomfortable and inconvenient, but compared with your own safety, it is really not worth mentioning.
They are still seven or eight days away from the capital of Dali, which is three to four thousand miles.
If nothing unexpected happens, the final attack by the powerful demonic master should be during this period of time.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Several explosions were heard, and an innate strong man was rushing towards him from a distance at full speed.
Chen Mo looked up and saw five fires of different colors appearing in the distant sky, each representing an innate powerhouse.
Their goal was very clear, and they obviously knew that the mission must be escorted by innately powerful people, so they prepared for a surprise attack from the beginning.
Then, among the clouds above the mission, four innate experts also appeared, speeding towards the front of the mission.
"Haha, good time!" Chu Tianxiu laughed with high fighting spirit in his eyes, and a bloody aura emanating from his body, as if there were three heads and six arms emerging from his body.
The goal of the five innate experts is very clear, that is Chen Mo.
He is the strongest, has the highest official position, is the chief envoy, and carries his credentials with him. Only his death can truly disrupt the peace talks.
If he doesn't die, even if he kills all the rest of the mission, it won't have much effect.
"There is a sneak attack by a strong man. Bring the national gift and retreat!" Chen Mo ordered without hesitation.
The innate warriors are not the acquired warriors, and the rest of the mission has no ability to stop them. If they stay here, they will only die in vain.
Even he himself was ready to escape.
As his words fell, many members of the mission who reacted fled for their lives.
The national gift on the carriage is just a cover. The real national gift is carried in the storage bag that has been prepared.
In the blink of an eye, the five innate experts had arrived within a hundred feet of the mission.
Chen Mozhou's inner energy was released and condensed into armor, but he did not activate the formation on the animal-faced, head-swallowing chain armor.
His current physical body can naturally bear the weight of a thousand kilograms, but this will affect his subsequent escape.
But then he realized something was wrong, and four innate experts from the two imperial courts came to the mission.
However, he was restrained by a force, but this force was not malicious.
"Young man, you are the envoy, take the first step." Li Xuanxin said with a smile, transmitting the message into the secret passage.
After the words fell, Chen Mo felt the scenery in front of him change rapidly, and he was thrown dozens of miles away in an instant.
He quickly moved his eyes to observe the distant scene.
The nine innate experts had already started fighting, and the sounds of wind and thunder filled the sky and the earth.
However, officials from the two countries were sent out one after another. Even if there was any damage, it should not be serious.
It's just a pity for those horses. The aftermath of the battle between the innately strong men is obviously not something they can bear.
Chen Mo stood in the distance and watched carefully. The battle between the innate experts was very loud, and smoke and dust were flying all over the sky within a radius of ten miles.
Deep pits were created one after another on the ground, and the surrounding vegetation had been completely shattered and turned into powder.
The scenes before him were just the aftermath of the fight.
At the innate realm, a warrior has absolutely perfect control over his or her own power. The power of each strike is extremely solid and will not escape.
The aftermath alone can cause such damage to the world, which shows that it is not an exaggeration to say that a congenital strongman can form an army.
Chen Mo did not flee quickly, but stayed dormant at a safe distance and watched the battle from afar.
He was not sure that there were no congenital strongmen from other magic ways or alien races lurking around.
It would be better to find a safer place to hide than to flee randomly at this time, and the probability of being discovered would be lower.
After observing from a distance for nearly an hour, although there were more congenital strongmen from the magic ways and alien races, the congenital strongmen from the two countries' courts were obviously stronger, so they had the upper hand.
Not to mention, during the battle, two congenital strongmen from the Dali court hurried to support.
"Boom!"
The sky was full of smoke and dust, covering the desolate land for dozens of miles.
A congenital strongman from the magic way seized this opportunity and rushed towards Chen Mo at a high speed.
Of course, his target was not Chen Mo, but he was seriously injured and wanted to escape.
