Chapter 1078 385 Do Not Drop (Eleven More)

"It's the prince!"

"Master Shizi is here!"

"That's great, Lord Shizi is here, everything will be fine!"

The deafening cheers became louder and louder, and the city gate was so lively that it boiled like hot water.

After traveling for a few days, Xiao Yi finally arrived at Kailian City.

When they were more than ten meters away from the city gate, Xiao Yi, Fu Yunhe and the others who were riding on the horse did not feel that they slowed down, and looked at the scene in front of them in surprise.

Outside the north gate of Kailian City, when you look at it, there are densely packed heads. Countless people gathered at the gate of the city, all of them waving their arms to welcome Xiao Yi's arrival.

And standing in front of these people is now the garrison of Kailian City - Cheng Yu.

After not seeing him for more than a year, Cheng Yu seems to have lost some weight, but his whole person exudes a kind of energy, self-confidence and poise, as if a wanderer who has been wandering for many years has finally found his home.

Cheng Yu took a step forward and bowed respectfully to Xiao Yi: "I have seen Shizi."

At this time, the surrounding people all quieted down in unison, and they also leaned over to bow like Cheng Yu. Although their postures were a little strange, their expressions and eyes were so respectful and sincere.

Xiao Yi neatly jumped off the horse and gave Cheng Yu a hand: "No need to be more polite." Then he said loudly to the people behind him, "Everyone don't need to be more polite!"

With the gesture of supporting each other, Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows at Cheng Yu secretly, as if to ask: What kind of scene is this?

Cheng Yu smiled helplessly. Originally, he just planned to lead a few cronies of the garrison to the city gate to meet Xiao Yi, but what he didn't expect was that the news somehow leaked out. When he calculated the time to come to the city gate to meet him, he found that the place was already crowded with people.

The people came to the city gate to welcome the prince with a sincere heart. As the guard of Kailian City, he couldn't pour a bucket of cold water on them and drive them back, right?

In fact, when seeing these people gathered here spontaneously, no one was the happiest than Cheng Yu. This not only means that Shizi is recognized by the people of Kailian City, but also means that his efforts over the past year have not been in vain. He guarded the two cities of Fuzhong and Kailian for Shiziye. Only those who have been following Shiziye know how hard this step is!

At this moment, a tall man in the back suddenly knelt on the ground with a plop and shouted loudly: "Master Shi, please forgive Xiao's rudeness, Xiao, on behalf of all the people of Kailian City, asks for your life! Lord Shizi, you can't open Kailian City to Nanmanzi!" After speaking, the big man slammed his head on the ground covered with small gravel, and he humbly fell on the ground and refused to get up.

He acted as if a drop of water had dripped into the hot oil, crackling the pan.

Immediately following, the people in the back also knelt on the ground one by one, and said in a loud voice:

"Yes, Lord Shizi, you must not open Kailian City!"

"Nanmanzi killed my compatriots and destroyed our homeland. Wolfzi's ambitions must not be trusted!"

"Master Shizi, please be sure to call the shots for our Kailian City!"

"..."

The people's emotions are getting more and more excited. It's been a year since the last Baiyue Battle, and the scars that used to be bloody began to gradually scab. It was torn open again, revealing a bloody wound...

Looking back on the relatives, friends, and compatriots who died in the hands of Nanmanzi, these people seem to have been stabbed again, and they are heartbroken.

At the beginning, it was King Zhennan who ordered the opening of Kailian, Fuzhong, and Baiyue to bring wolves into the house. Now the severely damaged Southern Border is still recuperating, but King Zhennan wants to open the door of convenience to Baiyue again!

What if this time Nanmanzi used the pretext of doing business, but secretly sent troops to sneak into the southern border, and then waved the butcher's knife?

Thinking of the Baiyue envoys in the city now, the people became more and more frightened.

A young man shouted in a heart-wrenching voice, "Sir, if you don't agree, we won't get up!"

Looking at these angry people, Fu Yunhe, who was beside Xiao Yi, couldn't help but be infected with this emotion, and his blood boiled. He really wanted to bring the King of Zhennan here to have a look and listen to the voices of these people. Hey, I don't know if the big brother's father's brain is flooded? He would actually believe in the dishonest barbarians like Baiyue!

Xiao Yi and Cheng Yu looked at each other helplessly, then Cheng Yu turned to face the people, and said loudly, "Everyone, please be quiet, please listen to me!"

The surroundings gradually quieted down, and the people crawling on the ground raised their eyes slightly, revealing their bruised foreheads stained with dust.

After Cheng Yu cleared his throat, he continued: "Everyone, please rest assured! Now that the Shizi is back to preside over the overall situation, our Kailian City will never be opened to Nanban again, and we will never repeat the same mistakes!"

The people were refreshed and looked at Xiao Yi with bright eyes.

Xiao Yi looked at the crowd with a smile, and that shallow but firm smile seemed to carry a kind of soothing power.

He slowly highlighted four words——

"Rather than surrender!"

These four words slammed into the hearts of those people. They stared at Xiao Yi blankly, and then a bright smile bloomed on their faces. I don't know who was the first to shout out. : "I would rather fight than surrender."

"Rather than surrender!"

Everyone shouted this slogan in unison, and the shouting was so loud that in the end, even Fu Yunhe raised his fist and shouted with them.

Xiao Yi said loudly again: "Everyone, get up."

The people stood up from the ground one after another, still whispering excitedly:

"That's great, with the Shizi around, we can definitely drive Nanman out."

"I have to go home and tell my mother-in-law to go!"

"Yeah, yeah! I was thinking about whether it should be safer to move to Luoyue City."

"Fortunately, Kailian City is now in charge of the Shizi, so we can rest assured!"

"Master Shizi really has the style of the old prince..."

"..."

For thousands of years, the common people have a kind of hero-worship complex, worshiping Nuwa to open up the world, worshipping Shennong to taste all kinds of herbs, worshipping Dayu to control the flood... worshipping the hero who rose up to protect them during the war.

In the southern border, their hero more than ten years ago was the old Zhennan king, but now, it is Xiao Yi, the prince of Zhennan.

Xiao Yi led the southern border army to repel the southern barbarian army, recapture the occupied southern border cities, save the southern border people from fire and water, and increase the wealth of the country to the barbarians in all directions!

Throughout Dayu, people in other places may have heard of Zhennan's numerous achievements in defeating Baiyue, and they may praise a few words, but they cannot have such a profound experience as the people in southern Xinjiang. In the eyes of the emperor, who is far away in the sky, how can the prince who is close by is reliable!

As long as the Shizi is around, they can sleep peacefully!

The people who are relieved are all radiant, with respect, admiration, trust and admiration in their eyes...

Looking at the trusting eyes of these commoners, Fu Yunhe also felt honored, he raised his chest and raised his chin with a radiant face. Hehe, when he returns to Luoyue City, he will write a letter to Abo and Tian Lianhe to show off...

Thinking about it, the expressions of envy, jealousy and hatred appeared in his mind, and his heart became more and more satisfied.

As the people greeted each other, Xiao Yi and his party finally entered Kailian City, some of the people dispersed, and some of the people still followed behind Xiao Yi and Cheng Yu, all the way to the garrison. Shidi left...

After entering the garrison, Xiao Yi instructed Fu Yunhe and the others to settle down first, while he and Cheng Yu went to the study to talk secretly, leaving only Bamboo to guard in the study.

After Cheng Yugong asked Xiao Yi to sit down on the main seat, he also sat down across the desk.

Then, Cheng Yu talked about the current situation of Kailian City. Two months ago, Baiyue asked King Zhennan to open Kailian City. King Zhennan agreed, but Cheng Yu did not obey and kept the gate of the city closed. Although King Zhennan was displeased, he could do nothing with Cheng Yu for a while. Until half a month ago, Nuhar, the new king of Baiyue, sent an envoy to Kailian City...

Xiao Yi moved his index finger on the desk a few times, and asked leisurely, "How many envoys did Baiyue send here? Where are they now?"

"Master Shizi, Baiyue only sent an envoy named Zhu Dan this time, accompanied by twelve guards. Now Zhu Dan is temporarily living in the guest room of the garrison mansion. He is quite safe. After coming to Kailian City, I didn't even dare to go out." Cheng Yu replied with a hint of irony in his tone.

If this Baiyue people dared to blatantly walk around Kailian City, it is no exaggeration to say that it must be a rat crossing the street, everyone shouting and beating!

Xiao Yi also hooked his lips, "Cheng Yu, let's go meet that envoy."

"Yes, Sir."

With Cheng Yu leading the way, the two went all the way to the East Wing. Cheng Yu specially picked a small, secluded and quiet courtyard in the East Wing to house the envoys of Baiyue.

As soon as Xiao Yi entered the garrison, the envoy named Zhu Dan heard the news from his servants, and he was already looking forward to getting ready. Therefore, as soon as Xiao Yi came over, he saw a white-faced and beardless envoy personally greeted at the gate of the courtyard.

"I have seen Xiao Shizi."

Zhu Dan respectfully leaned over Xiao Yi and bowed respectfully.

"The envoy is exempt from the ceremony." Xiao Yi said lightly, and the three entered the courtyard.

The next thing they are going to talk about is of great importance and must not be leaked, so Cheng Yu immediately ordered a few cronies to stay at the entrance of the courtyard.

As soon as the door of the main room was closed, Zhu Dan's face became a little more flattering, and he graciously asked Xiao Yi to sit down, and then flattered with Da Yu fluently: "Before I came to Da Yu this time, my king specially ordered me to Greetings from the eldest son! After the eldest son left Ruijiang City, my king was very concerned about it, and now it seems that the style of the eldest son is still the same, no, it is better than before."

The envoy who will be sent by Nuhar to Dayu is naturally his confidant. From his words, it is obvious that he knows the master-slave relationship between Xiao Yi and Nuhar in great detail!

Xiao Yi looked at Zhu Dan with a half-smile but not a smile. As the old saying goes, far away is a guest, but to him and the entire southern border, Nan Manzi can't be called a "guest", so he did not hypocritically ask him to sit down , said directly: "Zhu Dan, this prince wants you to bring a word of Nuhar." He bluntly called his name.

Zhu Dan could only laugh, nodded and said, "Please do whatever you want, the lord, my king said, if the lord has any orders, even if he asks me to go up the mountain of knives and get off the frying pan, I can't say no..."

Xiao Yi waved his hand impatiently, not wanting to listen to this beautiful empty talk, and said casually: "This prince wants Nuhar to do one thing..."

Zhu Dan did not dare to make a sound, but bowed his head and listened respectfully.

An hour later, all the Baiyue envoys left Kailian City in despair, and the matter spread throughout Kailian City as if they had grown wings.

On the streets at dusk, in the restaurant, in the house, in the tea shed... Every corner of Kailian City is discussing this matter enthusiastically.

"Master Shizi's prestige really makes Baiyue people feel scared!" A big man patted the table and stood up abruptly.

"That's right, Nan Manzi really is a rat's ear!" A scholar wearing a square scarf shook his folding fan and said, "As soon as the prince arrived, the envoy ran away in fright!"

"This is really happy!" Another commoner young man also echoed loudly, "Master Shizi is really wise and martial, and he will do what he says."

"That's right." A middle-aged woman interrupted when she found an opportunity, "I heard that this morning at the South City Gate, hundreds of people asked for their lives! The prince made a promise on the spot..." She deliberately paused. , said word by word, "Ning, war, no, surrender!"

"Rather than surrender!"

Others also muttered, the scholar showed reverence, looked in the direction of the garrison, and said again: "Ning Zhan not surrender!"

"It's really a blessing for Southern Border to have such a great son!"

I don't know who said it with a sigh, this sentence seems to express everyone's heart...

The sun gradually went down, the sunset and the moon rose, and the night passed in the blink of an eye. When the first morning star rose, most of the people were still asleep, and the military camp had already woken up.

Thousands of soldiers dressed in one-style black armor were already standing neatly on the training ground, and the dawn sun shone softly on them, coating them with a golden halo.

The soldiers were all full of energy and stood motionless, even if they didn't receive any instructions, even if it was only them here, and there was no general at all...

I don't know how long it took, and a few tall figures dressed as generals strode towards this side. The most striking of them was a young man wearing silver-white armor. His black hair was tied with a small silver crown. Tall, jet-black hair contrasted sharply with the silver-white armor. His face was so handsome that even a woman would feel ashamed, but he did not reveal a hint of femininity. It is like a sword, although it is not sheathed, it has already shown its edge, which makes people dare not underestimate it.

These thousands of eyes were all focused on this young man for a moment, and the surprise could not be concealed in his expression.

Grandpa!

Unexpectedly, it was the Shizi who personally came to see them training!

In an instant, an incredible force seemed to pour into the hearts of the soldiers, and they became more energetic in an instant.

When Xiao Yi stood on the high platform directly in front of them, almost at the same time, thousands of black armored soldiers knelt down on one knee, clasped their fists and saluted, shouting like the sky: "I have seen Shizi!"

Thousands of people bowed their knees at the same time, the scene was spectacular, and the shouts were so neat that they seemed to be issued by the same person, hammering heavily on everyone's heart.

Yao Lianghang, who followed Xiao Yi, looked at the high expressions of the soldiers, and could not help but be infected, and his heart was ups and downs.

The past year seems to be so short, gone in a flash, and it seems to be so long, so much happened...

In the end, if it is extremely peaceful, the prince can finally return to the southern border justifiably!

Yao Lianghang let out a long sigh, and until this moment, did he have a real feeling, his heart was full, and he looked at Xiao Yi with burning eyes.

Lord Shizi is back, and the days of their Xuanjia Army are just around the corner!

Xiao Yihuan looked at the group of Xuanjia troops, raised his hand with a smile, and said loudly, "Everyone, get up!"

"Xie Shizi!" The voices of thousands of people overlapped again, and then stood up again.

Following that, Yao Lianghang, who was holding the command flag, stepped forward and said in a high voice, "All soldiers!"

"Yes!" The soldiers responded with clasped fists.

"Today, the prince came to review our Xuanjia army. Should you let the prince take a good look at our efforts this year? Look at the blood and sweat we have paid this year?"

"Yes!" The soldiers roared one by one, as if trying to convey their thoughts through this cry.

The next moment, as Yao Lianghang waved the flag, the soldiers shouted like thunder, in unison:

Fist, majestic!

Kick, the tiger grows strong!

Draw the knife, murderous!

The momentum is mighty, and the shouting resounds through the sky, as continuous as the thunder in the sky.

Yao Lianghang's blood was boiling, and the movement of waving the flag was more neat and sassy. Every time he waved, it made a whirring sound, and it seemed that even the air was shaking...

In the hearts of everyone present, from the soldier to the general to the prince Xiao Yi, there was a turbulence, and ripples appeared in circles.

The beginning of the sun rose slowly in that cry, so bright, so dazzling, so captivating, as if to indicate that the southern border was like the rising sun, full of new hope...
