Chapter 317 Yan Wang Shen Qing'an

"Of course not, that is the capital of the kingdom."

Zheng Duo spoke in awe.

The royal capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty was an ancient city. Counting forward, I don’t know how many national surnames have been changed. In the moat outside this city, I don’t know how many bloods of princes and generals have been deposited.

There was a gap that could be seen through, and the morale of the soldiers of the Lantian Army also increased a little, and they started digging.

Duan Yi handed the water bag in her hand to Zheng Duo, and walked towards the only remaining big tree beside it.

Zheng Duo looked at Changsun Erlang who was staring at him covetously, his scalp went numb, and he quickly followed Duan Yi away.

He pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Even though the old man has become your general now, I will not take back what I said before."

"The capital of the king is the capital of the king. Shen Qing'an's own strength is extraordinary. And the strength of his troops is far beyond what you can match."

Zheng Duo said, quite sad.

"Tianzi Zhou has the imperial guards, Cui Zi has the Xuanying army, and Shen Qing'an hides an army called Yinying."

He said, thinking of Duan Yi's father, he was silent for a while, and sat down on the green stone beside him.

"There are not many Silver Shadows, but all of them are highly skilled in martial arts. Anyone who takes them out can be a general in the army. The Tian Chuying you met in Xiangyang City is just an ordinary person in Silver Shadows."

When Duan Yi heard this, her expression became serious.

She had fought against Tian Chuying, and that man was not weak in martial arts, so he was on a par with her. Even though her martial arts were improving rapidly, looking back, she felt that she could easily kill Tian Chuying.

But if everyone in Silver Shadow was at the level of Tian Chuying, then it would be really difficult.

"General, do you know why Shen Qing'an betrayed Chen Heqing, and what is wrong with my father Duan Sixian?"

Zheng Duo shook his head, "I'm ashamed to say that this old man only found out in recent years that Shen Qing'an used to be part of King Zheng's old department, and he went to the same sect with his father as a teacher. I don't know what's wrong with them."

Zheng Duo paused and said, "However, this old man has been guarding Beiguan before, and I have known Shen Qing'an since he was very young."

"You are young, and you only know that the Great Zhou and the Northern Barbarians are at odds and have been fighting all year round. But in the early years, the Central Plains was strong, and the Northern Barbarians were very barren. They needed the Central Plains' grain, grass, and silk. We used to send princesses to marry each other and open markets with each other. Live a period of honey mixed with oil."

"At that time in Beiguan, intermarriage between two races was not uncommon."

Duan Yi's eyes widened in surprise, "So Shen Qing'an is the result of intermarriage between the two races?"

Zheng Duo nodded, "His father, who was considered a respectable figure in Kyoto at the time, went to Beiguan for gilding, and met Shen Qing'an's mother there. When I met him, the two countries had already gone to war."

"Shen Qing'an's father returned to the capital, but he was dragged there. The northern barbarians invaded the city and killed many civilians."

"The people in the border town were furious. They almost killed the northerners when they saw them. Shen Qing'an's mother was also killed. When we arrived, he was hung up for public display and almost lost his life."

"We rescued him. After he recovered from his injuries, he left the border and disappeared."

Duan Yi thought, in all likelihood, Shen Qing'an left the border town and entered the rivers and lakes.Then I met a noble person in the rivers and lakes, that is, Duan Sixian's master.The teacher and father brought Shen Qing'an together to join King Zheng's command.

It seems that the teacher's father picked people, but they had some common characteristics.

The ones selected are all the sons of aristocratic families, each with twists and turns like eighteen bends on a mountain road.

"Speaking of which, he is also a poor man," Zheng Duo said, and his thoughts jumped to the present again.

"When I saw him later, he was my lieutenant general sent by the imperial court to guard Beiguan with me. The people around me seemed to be unaware of his background. I am not a talkative person, and I thought he had great talent. , never revealed half a word."

"At first, I was worried that he had the blood of the northerners on his body, so he might not be loyal to me, Da Zhou. But he has always been conscientious, and he has never done anything beyond the rules except for his brutal methods of killing the enemy."

"The old man injured his leg. When he left Beiguan, he took over from me and became a general."

Zheng Duo said, a little bit embarrassed, "I never thought that when I saw him later, he was already the King of Yan."

"I have a deep relationship with Shen Qing'an. Although I don't agree with his bloody methods, what's so good about Chen Heqing? He is also the master of slaughtering the city, not a wise king."

Zheng Duo's words were not finished.

But Duan Yi understood his meaning very well, left and right were to choose a master.One is stinky fish and the other is rotten shrimp. There is no essential difference. It is human nature to choose an acquaintance who has an intersection.

He said, shaking his head mockingly.

"This man is old, he's always rambling, and he can't get to the point. What's the use of me talking to the general about Shen Qing'an's past? Originally, I wanted to talk about the military deployment of the capital."

"The commander of the Imperial Army, named Yuchi Case, used the Daguan Dao. This man is brave and resourceful, and he is a rare general. When the Emperor Zhou was still there, Yuchi Case was the commander of the Imperial Army. With Shen Qingan sitting in the world, he is still the commander of the imperial army."

Don't wait for Duan Yi to ponder deeply.

Then Zheng Duo talked about the Silver Shadow Army again, "The Silver Shadow Army is the direct descendant of King Yan, and they are more trusted by him than the Imperial Guards."

Duan Yi nodded, "Then there is an assassin named Gu Yu among them?"

Zheng Duo was stunned, "Shen Qing'an has six strong generals under his command, and he usually leads the army in battle. Gu Yu is not among the six, he is called the invisible seventh. That man kills like hemp, and it is rumored in the capital. Now, someone is disrespectful to King Yan."

"Then at night, Gu Yu will come to the door and harvest people's lives."

He paused and asked, "Master, have you seen Gu Yu in Xiangyang City?"

Duan Yi nodded, "Shen Qing'an sent him to monitor Tian Chuying. I have a personal grudge with Gu Yu. The next time we meet, it will be either you die or I die. General Zheng ignores this and continues to say that the six members are about to Can."

"Those six people, people in Kyoto are terrified. The first one, named Jing Yu, is a white-faced scholar. The weapon he is good at using is a bamboo flute..."

Halfway through Zheng Duo's speech, he changed the subject and said, "When it comes to Jing Yu, you have to go back and say what I said earlier. This time, Chen Heqing will definitely lose. Don't look at him besieging the city now, it seems very arrogance."

"But", Zheng Duo said, his expression became serious.

"If my lord believes in me, I will attack the city later and stay away from Chen Heqing. Within three days, they will have a big problem."

"What's the problem? What's so weird about that Jing?"

Duan Yi became interested, what kind of Four Tigers did Tian Chuying do back then, most likely, he was imitating his master!
