The Alchemist God

On that day, a feather letter flew to the north, carrying the only hope of King Lanji and the only hope of the Tianji Empire. Fortunately, the real master of Bai Ze's mercenaries is Si Kongyao. As a member of Tianji Empire, she should be able to help.

...

On November 24th, the road was blocked by heavy snow, but a group of people still came amidst the snowflakes flying all over the sky. There were about 20 people riding on good horses from the Blackstone Empire. The horseshoes were the standard horseshoes of the Tianji Empire army. , the knight walking in the front is slim and slim, although wearing a thick leather robe, it can still be seen that she is a graceful woman.

In the heavy snow, several people on the official road raised torches, and one of the guards said loudly, Is it Miss Shang Qian?

it's me.

The woman lifted the cloak, and her delicate face was very bright under the light of the torch, but her eyes were a little red and swollen, obviously from excessive sorrow. After all, her grandfather Zhang Sheng was the head of the family, the backbone of the whole family, Zhang Sheng's warrior Death was such a blow to Shang Qian, it was like the sky was falling.

The guard said in a deep voice: You are finally here...His Royal Highness Lan Ji is waiting for you in the posthouse. Rest overnight tonight and leave for Mozhang County tomorrow. You can see Miss Sikongyao before dark.

Ayao, she...has she been here for half a year?

Yes, Miss Shang Qian, please follow me to see His Highness now.

Um.

Although the post house was still cold, it was much better than being in the wind and snow. Shang Qian entered the post house with her entourage and immediately took off her snow-covered robe, and the waiter in the post house quickly took a A new leather robe was put on for her, and surrounded by everyone, the business lady went straight into the reception room of the post house.

See His Highness Prince Lan Ji. Shang Qian saluted a lady.

King Lan Ji was sitting by the brazier, stood up and said with a smile: Miss Shangqian has worked hard, come on, come over and warm yourself up, the weather is unbelievably cold, I have already ordered the posthouse to prepare food and drinks, soon You can eat warm food.

Thank you Your Highness.

Shang Qian stepped forward, sat down in the chair opposite to King Lan Ji, her eyes were slightly rosy, and said, Your Highness, did you call me here just to let me persuade A Yao?

That's right. King Lan Ji said: Since Miss Sikongyao can gain a foothold in the mountains of the Devil's Palm, and she can sit on nearly 200,000 horses, it shows that she has a lot of ambition, and my Beiming family's face is not good. Please move Miss Shangqian to convince Si Kongyao.

But...wouldn't it be more convenient if you talked about suzerain Sikong Ming?

Miss Shang Qian. Lan Ji Wang sternly said: The villains of the Tianjue Empire invaded our borders, killed my generals, and seized my city. Isn't it that every citizen of the Tianji Empire should serve the country, Sikong Everyone knows Yao's temperament, she has always been soft and not hard, I believe that no one in this world can persuade her except you, let alone... your grandfather, General Zhang Sheng, he...

say no more.

Although Shang Qian sat there, her body trembled slightly, and tears swirled in her eyes: Grandpa is loyal to the country, I am proud of him, please stop talking.

... King Lan Ji was silent for a few seconds, clasped his fists and said to the sky: The sky is clear, the earth is long, the old general Zhang Sheng is a loyal hero, the world can learn from it, not only you are proud of him, but all people in the Tianji Empire are proud of him. We are proud of him, so this time we must persuade Sikong Yao to send troops, only when Sikong Yao sends troops can we have a chance of winning and revenge against the wolves of the Tianjue Empire.

Your Highness needless to say, since I am here, I will try my best to persuade Ayao tomorrow.

Well, thank you, Miss Shang Qian, for your understanding of righteousness.

Everyone was silent. After dinner, they went back to their rooms to rest. In fact, everyone had a bright light in their hearts, and they knew what they should do without saying anything.

...

The next day, the snow stopped for the first time, and we set off early in the morning until the sun set. In the distance, a majestic city stood against the mountain. The county town of Mozhang County was the closest fortified city to the Mozhang peaks, so it became Bai Ze. A new lair for mercenaries.

Five miles away from the city, everyone was intercepted. It was a group of cavalry in white robes, about a hundred of them, and each of them wore a badge embroidered with a white beast pattern on their shoulders. That was Bai Ze mercenary markup.

Who dares to trespass on Bai Ze's mercenary camp? The centurion drew out his sharp sword, the blade shining with the golden light of the setting sun.

King Lan Ji frowned tightly. The strength of this centurion has reached the realm of heaven, and the horses of this group of cavalry are horses with great endurance and strong feet. Each cavalry wears iron armor weighing more than 50 catties. , Even the two sides of the horse have armor, and a thick round shield hangs on the side of the horse's back. This made King Lan Ji couldn't help but think of a word: heavy cavalry.

That's right, these one hundred people are all heavy cavalry.

King Lan Ji couldn't help taking a deep breath. The financial resources of Bai Ze's mercenaries can be seen from this. There are not many troops in the entire Tianji Continent equipped with such complete heavy cavalry, even if it is the main force like Lan Ji Corps and Yan Ji Corps There are only 10,000 to 20,000 heavy cavalry at most, but what qualifications does this Baize mercenary have to have heavy cavalry.

Heavy cavalry, the trump card of plain warfare, are not afraid of the penetration of bows and crossbows. It seems that hope is really there.

Therefore, King Lan Ji clasped his fists and said: I am the Left King of the Tianji Empire, King Lan Ji, this is Shang Qian, the eldest lady of the merchant, a friend of Miss Sikong Yao, the master of your Baize mercenaries, and I am here to pay a visit to Sikong Miss Yao, please take us there.

You are Miss Shangqian. The centurion was stunned, and then raised his long sword and clasped his fists and said, Please follow me, the eldest lady is in the city. She said that if two people come to see you, you don't need to report and bring them directly. Miss Shang Qian is one of those who went to see her.

Thank you very much.

Shang Qian squeezed out a smile, rode her horse and followed a group of heavy cavalry to Demon Palm County, but then asked unwillingly: This general, who is the other person?

The centurion smiled: The former King Qin of the Broken Cauldron Realm, now the Marshal of the Great Qin Empire, Lord Lin Muyu.

Lin Muyu...

Shang Qian pursed her red lips, and couldn't help but feel a little lost in her heart. Lin Muyu's heroic appearance appeared in her mind back then. Yes, it was that person who defeated such famous commander-level generals as Bei Minghuan and Baili Qin in the Broken Cauldron Realm. It was also this person who plunged the entire Tianji Continent into chaos.

Shang Qian regretted it a little. If she had taken the initiative, she might have been able to keep this person.

But she changed her mind and smiled, how could that kind of rebellious hero stop for a woman? I'm afraid not.

Entering Mozhang County, Baize mercenaries can be seen everywhere in this county, heavy cavalry, cavalry archers, pikemen, heavy shield soldiers, sword soldiers, etc., with clear distinctions and strict formations. What kind of mercenaries are here? And much more elite.

King Lan Ji walked and watched, and the more he looked, the more he felt chilled. A mere mercenary group can have such combat power. It seems that the era of the Tianji Empire is indeed coming to an end. If there is no flexibility, I am afraid it will eventually be replaced. .

He clenched his fists, and a crazy thought suddenly came to his mind, no matter whether Bai Ze's mercenaries can send troops or not, as long as the Tianjue Empire is repelled, the Bai Ze's mercenaries must not be kept, otherwise they must belong to the Tianji Empire Big worry.

...

Please come in.

There are also city gates in the city. After King Lan Ji, Shang Qian and others passed through two city gates in succession, they finally came to the so-called General's Mansion, the most core area of ​​Bai Ze's mercenaries.

In front of the general's mansion, two giant beasts are carved lifelike, as if they are about to burst out of the rock at any time, devouring everything. The degree of strictness is even far better than that of the Yanji Corps.

Is this A Yao's masterpiece in half a year? Shang Qian said to herself, a little unbelievable.

But at this moment, a handsome figure appeared at the end of the steps of the General's Mansion. It was Sikong Yao in military uniform, whose exquisite figure was outlined charmingly by a soft leather armor. When she saw Shang Qian, He laughed immediately, like a mountain flower: Sister Shang Qian, why are you here?

Shang Qian smiled, stepped forward and hugged Sikong Yao.

On the contrary, King Lan Ji, the king of the left, was neglected, and he did not receive an interview until he entered the meeting hall of the general's mansion. Perhaps it was not considered an interview at all, because Liu Buyi, who looked very inconspicuous, didn't seem to take him seriously at all. .

Ahem... King Lan Ji couldn't help coughing twice.

Only then did Shang Qian say: Ayao, Bu Yi, this is King Lan Ji, His Royal Highness Zuo Wang of the Tianji Empire, come with me this time to discuss the covenant with you.

Covenant. Sikong Yao opened her eyes wide.

Yes. Shang Qian's eyes turned red, and she said, The Tianjue Empire invaded, and grandpa unfortunately died in battle. He has already sacrificed his life for the country... The 900,000 troops of the Tianjue Empire have entered the plains to the west of the Forest of No Return. They will attack Dongning City, once they attack Dongning City, I am afraid... I am afraid that the imperial capital will be in danger...

Sister Shang Qian, please don't worry. Si Kongyao comforted: Death cannot be brought back to life. Grandpa Zhang Sheng was a hero all his life. Perhaps bloody battlefields and slaying generals and enemies is exactly what he wants.

maybe……

Shang Qian said with red eyes, Ayao, you are a citizen of the Tianji Empire and the granddaughter of the old Patriarch Sikong. The Tianji Empire is your motherland and your hometown... I beg you, you must To send troops, only by defeating the army of the Tianjue Empire can we save our homeland and avenge my grandfather.

I know. Si Kongyao bit her red lips and said, But the matter of dispatching troops is a serious matter. I still need to discuss it with the generals and commoners. This matter...

Seeing her hesitation, King Lan Ji said anxiously: Miss Sikong Yao, please send troops, you are the only hope of the Tianji Empire now, if you don't send troops, the Tianji Empire may soon fall apart and become The meat of the meal of the Tianjue Empire.

But Liu Buyi raised his sword eyebrows, and said: The Tianji Empire belongs to the Tianji Empire, and the Baize mercenaries belong to the Baize mercenaries. We are not a family. I don't care if you are lunch meat or lunch meat. The Tianji Empire will not be destroyed. Destruction, nothing to do with my Bai Ze mercenaries.

The Tianji Empire mobilized 400,000 troops to attack the Broken Cauldron Realm, making Lin Muyu miserable, and Liu Buyi regarded Lin Muyu as a brother, so naturally he hated the Tianji Empire extremely.

As soon as Liu Buyi, the head of the regiment, spoke, a group of ferocious chiefs suddenly said in unison: That is, whether the Tianji Empire dies or not has nothing to do with us. It sounds so nice. When did the Tianji Empire treat Miss Sikongyao kindly? Why don't we see that the emperor canonize the eldest lady as a county king?

King Lan Ji's face was ashen, but he couldn't get angry. Playing with the prince's temper here would lead to a miserable death. The eighteen ten thousand elders could tell at a glance that none of them were easy to provoke.
