Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 2487 Escort

The strength of an army can be detected before it arrives.

The sound of horse hooves in the distance was strong and orderly, and the movement alone gave Ji Jiashu a feeling that the Western Rong King's army had arrived, rather than the scattered and weak feeling of the Central Plains army.

But at this time, where did such a cavalry suddenly appear from?

  Is this army an enemy or a friend?

"who?"

"Where is the team from?"

Other officials and practitioners in the square who noticed the commotion also panicked and began to speculate.

Yun Zhongjun raised his head and looked towards the palace gate. His eyes seemed as indifferent as ever, but Ji Jiashu noticed the subtle changes in his emotions.

  The appearance of this army did not seem to be what Yun Zhongjun expected?

So they are...

The gate of Afang Palace had been locked long ago, but it was obviously unable to stop this aggressive iron army. The other side seemed to have weapons for siege. There were a few loud bangs on the door, and the damaged palace gate shook a few times and collapsed with a loud bang.

Smoke and dust rose up and slowly fell down.

A cavalry clad in black armor appeared behind the fallen gate.

"This armor... is from the Qin army?"

A Qin military officer in front of the square made an incredible sound. Even the Qin people found it hard to believe that the army before them was actually the Qin army.

"Wait, the style seems to be a little different..."

After a closer look, everyone discovered that the armor of this army was slightly different from that of the Qin army currently on the square.

Although polished to a shine, the armor of this army was very old-fashioned, and many of them were old-style leather armor.

"This is the Qin army armor from twenty years ago."

An elderly general in the square opened his eyes wide and spoke, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

"how come……"

It seemed as if an army that had traveled through time and space appeared outside the palace gate, as if the Qin army that had dominated the continent twenty years ago had suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.

"This is……"

Ying Xun, Ji Jiashu and others on the high platform were also very shocked. However, the next moment Ji Jiashu discovered that he was actually somewhat familiar with the features of many soldiers in this army.

"Enter!"

At this moment, the flag of this army finally appeared in everyone's sight.

This is a flag with a flying snake pattern on a black background, and there is a big word written in the center of the flag.

"Mu!"

"It's the Mu family army!"

"Really... that Mu family army?"

"how is this possible?"

Although the square was still in chaos, the older officials and practitioners stopped and stood rooted to the spot, staring at the big words as if they had seen a ghost.

They really felt like they had seen a ghost.

They saw an army of the undead that had disappeared for more than a decade.

Although this cavalry unit consisted of only a thousand men, they all exuded a murderous aura. A tall general was riding on a tall horse in the front.

He was wearing a visor so his face could not be seen clearly, but his body was sturdy and his back was straight, and the aura he exuded was particularly terrifying. Anyone could tell at a glance that this man must have experienced countless battles and was a veteran who had waded through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

The iron-blooded aura of this military commander was so strong that even the frantic palace maids and imperial guards would unconsciously retreat and make way for him wherever he went.

The white-haired old man rode straight in and came all the way to the steps of the throne.

The old man walked to the steps, dismounted, and took off his helmet.

His head of silver hair fell like a waterfall.

"You are……"

Yun Zhongjun, who was standing on the high platform, stared at the general with an extremely cold and complicated look.

The Former Qin officials behind Ying Xun were all stunned when they saw this man, with expressions on their faces as if they couldn't believe their eyes.

The other soldiers and officials in the square who had been frightened away by the man's murderous aura were also stunned. No one had expected that such a tall and strong general was actually an old man.

The old man took off his helmet and looked up at Ying Baoyue who was standing on the high platform.

An old man and a young man stared at each other quietly across the long stairs.

At this moment, time seemed to stop.

Ji Jiashu stood aside and watched this scene, holding his breath.

With just a glance, they seemed to understand each other.

Ying Baoyue said nothing, but just looked at the old man in the audience quietly and smiled.

The old man looked relieved and then lowered his head towards her.

"This old minister is late in coming to your rescue."

The white-haired old man in armor knelt on one knee before the blood-soaked girl.

"Please forgive me."

"His Majesty."

"No," Ying Baoyue stood on the platform and stretched out his hand to Mu You.

"You've arrived just in time."

"My cavalry general."

This broke the silence of the square, and the people who were originally at a loss couldn't help but scream.

"It's General Mu You!"

"Oh my god, General Mu is coming out?"

"He can actually still mount a horse? Is he the only one alive among the three great Qin heroes?"

"Wait, what did General Mu just call the princess? Your Majesty? Did I hear it wrong?"

"That's Master Yingxun, right?"

No, Muyou wasn't calling him.

Ying Xun stood stiffly not far from Ying Baoyue, looking at the white-haired old ministers below the stage.

He had heard of Mu You's name since he was a child. As the only remaining founding hero of the Qin Dynasty, the old men of the Former Qin Dynasty had tried their best to get him to win the support of the Mu family, and even put forward the condition that he should marry Mu You's daughter as his principal wife, and he would definitely make her the queen after he succeeded to the throne.

But no matter what conditions they put forward, Mu You always refused to come out on the grounds that he was too old and frail to participate in the disputes.

When Ying Baoyue and others came to the Mu family before, Ying Xun knew that Mu You had wanted to match Ying Baoyue with a descendant of the Mu family, but Ying Baoyue refused.

But now, Mu You still came.

It's not that this old minister is unwilling to come out of retirement, he just hasn't waited for the king he is willing to serve.

But now, Mu You has waited.

But this person is not him, Ying Xun.

"Men of the Mu family! Form the formation!"

Mu You turned around and gave orders to the Mu family army behind him. This army seemed to have been trained many times, with tacit cooperation and good order. They skillfully divided the chaotic palace people into small groups and surrounded them, trapping them but not attacking them. Then the practitioners attacked the acupoints of those palace people one by one, knocking them unconscious to the ground and tying them up.

"Boys, go over there!"

"Call your commander! Are you General Xu's disciple? Why are you panicking? Go and gather the remaining troops!"

"Are you a civil servant? Civil servants, gather in that direction! Don't run around if you don't want to die!"

There are many veterans in the Mu family army, who seem to be very experienced in dealing with such situations and can even command the generals in the imperial guards.

The Qin army, which had been in chaos, gradually restored order and combat effectiveness, and the situation in the square was under control. The Zen disciples who had been wandering around gradually gathered together and all shrank to the foot of the steps in the direction of Yun Zhongjun, looking at the army in the square with unfriendly faces.

Ying Baoyue turned around and looked at Yun Zhongjun who was sitting under the throne.

"What other methods do you have?"

She looked at him coldly, "You might as well use all of them."
